Flower Baths.

For hardening and strengthening
the muscles of neck, shoulders, arms
and limbs nothing is more efficacious
than a bath of flowers or herbs. Any
woman aspiring to resemble the hero
inc in Daniel Deronda," who always
emerged from her bath looking like
freshly dipped swan," is becoming
initiated in the mysteries OF these re-
freshing and fragrant dips
Rose leaves, crushed violets, hay
flowers, oat straw, shave grass and
pine sprig-these for the foundation
of the flower or herb bath, and conse-
quently excursions to the garden, the
field, or the hay rack will be in order
this summer. The flower bath is tax
en- warm, followed by cold shower
and a vigorous rubbing until arms
and neck shine like glistening marble,
are firm of texture and smooth as

All these baths are prepared in the
same manner. Boiling water should be

son of this awful mistake, to let the
sheriff take this man. Give him a fair
trial, and may God forgive him for
what he has tried to do to me.''
The words of no other man could
have saved the new prisoner. The
crowd gave way. The hanging of
Devereux was out of the question.
The populace would not have permit
ted it, and the sheriff would any how
have felt justified in suspending the
execution.
The mob poured up the gallows
stairs and cut the ropes that bound
Devereux. The jail officials hurried
their prisoner to the Jail. Once there,
the latter made a full confession,
which soon became the talk of the
streets. Nothing could be done that
was too good for DevereuX, who at first
busted himself in counselling modera-
ton, and being satisfied of it's as
complishment, simply asked for two
things. He wanted to go at once, he
said, and bear the glad tidings back
to his wife. For this purpose he re-
quested the loan of good horse and
some money, a request which was en-
Enthusiastically gratified. At sunset
DevereuX was miles away.
In the morning the new prisoner
spoke to the sheriff when that officer
was making the rounds of the Jail.
ct think now," he said, "you had
better let me 60"
This display of assurance caused
the sheriff to think the prisoner
crazy"
81 mean what I say he persisted;
''send woman here, your wife. L am
woman. I am William Devereux's
wife. My purpose is fulfilled. I have
saved his life and he is now far away.
You can never catch him. He sent me
word where I would find the things
YOU found on me, and [ used them to
deceive you.''
It was true. Devereux's prison man.
ner, his talk, the dream, the de-
nouncement at the gallows, were all
parts of a skilfully worked and sue
cessful plot. The chivalrous spirit of
time and country saved his wife from
any punishment |. Devereux went to
California, changed his name, was
joined by his faithful wife, prospered
greatly, and died not many years ago,
the leading citizen of a thriving city
that bore his false name.-Waverley

clever ruse. AS he lived respectable
life afterward, and some of his chill
dren are still living, his real name is
not given. We will call him Devereux.
William Devereux was a rising
young lawyer of good family, mar
ried to an accomplished wife, and
possessed a large number of admiring
and devoted friends. Indeed he was
one of those magnetic persons having
the fortunate faculty of making
strong and loyal friends of nearly all
who came in contact with him.
But in the town where he lived
there was considerable dissipation OF
certain kind. Devereux became a
member of a choice circle of card
players. He lost money of others with
which he had been entrusted. For
long time he managed to keep this
state of affairs concealed by sort OF
system of robbing Peter to pay Paul,
and to meet his obligations as they
matured. But a period came when
William Devereux realized that these
things could be concealed no longer,
and the day of exposure and disgrace
came ever nearer.
1t was in the old-fashioned times
when there were no railroads, no tel
egraph, no means of travel, save over
ill-kept roads, generally on horseback,
1t was before the day when drafts,
bills of exchange and similar banking
conveniences for facilitating money
transfers had reached anything like
modern perfection, and payments
were made at distance by sending
the money itself.
1t was also the custom of the vari-
Gus county collectors and treasurers
to make yearly trips to the state cap
ital carrying such money as had been
collected in their districts on behalf
of the state and the necessary papers
and vouchers, and have an annual set
tlementfor the years receipts and dis
bursements.
Now, at the time when Devereux's
affairs were most desperate, his own
county treasurer started out on horse
back with the state money, a large
sum, in a pair of saddlebags, to effect
his annual accounting.
On the road he was joined by fell
low traveller, who afterward was prov
ed to be Devereux. They put up one
night at a roadside tavern, occupying
the same room. Next morning the
treasurer was found dead in bed, his
throat cut from ear to ear. His COM
% panion had disappeared, and the sad
dlebags, with their contents were al
so missing. The country side was
aroused, bloodhounds were brought
out, and a fierce chase of some hours
resulted in DevereuX being run down
and captured. There was no question
but that he had been the murdered
mans companion the night before,
but none of the missing money or pa
pers were found upon him.
These were the facts in the case.
When the news passed from traveller
to traveller along the country roads,
and finally reached Devereux's home

from the consequences of his awful
crime. All without avail. He was
tried, found guilty and sentenced to
be hanged. The higher courts decid-
ed against him on appeal. The gov
ernor refused to interfere, and Dew
ereux occupied cell in the Jail at the
little town of st. Stephens, closely
guarded, within few days of the
date appointed for his execution, with
all prospects of escape seemingly cut
off.
In spite of the enormity of his
crime, there began to be a great deal
of sympathy for the man who lay in
jail awaiting death. His youth, his
handsome face, his graceful, dignified
bearing, his calm courage, his perfect
manner and his unfailing persistence
in the declaration of his innocence
all combined to produce this effect
| He expressed no animosity toward
witnesses, judge, jury or prosecutor
simply stating that he was an unfort,
innate victim of remarkable circum-
stances, from which he could blame nc
one for drawing the mistaken infer
ence of his guilt.
The sheriff who guarded him was OF

and in his secret heart deeply sorrow.

though he relaxed not at all his Wig
lance, and the adoption of every pre-.
caution to prevent escape.
To this officer the prisoner fire.
quently expressed the firm belief that
he would not be hanged. He assured
him that, however, he had no idea OF
escape, other than by some divine in
tervention, which would establish his
innocence and point out the guilty
man.
Not many days before the one fata
day the sheriff found the prisoner Wis
IDLY agitated, and in an excited state
noticeably different from his usual
calmness. In answer to the officers
question as to the reason, Devereux
gave the following explanation,-

ulous.
The day of the execution was a
beautiful, cool October day. Thous
ands of people were in attendance and
had gathered about the gallows. 1t
was to be public hanging, and the
multitude awaited itself of the priv
lege of seeing human being choked
to death. AS has been intimated,
there was much feeling and sympa thy
for the doomed man much argument
as to the fallibility of circumstantial
evidence, and a hundred vague rumors
in circulation suggesting his inno-
cence..
At last DevereuX stood upon this
gallows platform and faced the people.
There was no man in all that crowd
apparently so cool, collected, and so
much the master of himself. He STEP
ped forward to say few words of
farewell. His voice rang out in the
stiffness clear, distinct, and perfectly
audible to all.
"Friends," he said, "this is not a fit
ting time to indulge in vain protesta-
tons. l can but simply reaffirm that
[ am not guilty, knowing we'll what
would be the consequences Of false
hood, standing, as [ am, almost in the

sire especially to relieve any man
from the possible thought that he
may have wronged me, and might
have to meet my accusing words be-
fore the great tribunal hereafter. 1t

At this moment the speaker stopped
short and leaned heavily upon the
terrible excitement. His eyes seemed
fixed on some one in the crowd before
him whom he indicated, bound as he
was, as we'll as he could. When he
found his voice he fairly shriel<ed,-
''There he is! The man of my
dream, the murderer! Stop him!
Stop him!
He had pointed out slightly built,
almost feminine looking young man,
who uttered a hasty exclamation and
attempted to get away, but before he
could do so he was roughly seized and
held by the crowd. The sheriff, al
most beside himself with excitement,
rushed down from the scaffold, fol-
lowed by half a dozen deputies. The
young man was hurriedly searched
there and then. Upon his person was
found watch, pistol, and certain pa
pers of value, we'll known to have
been the property of the murdered
treasurer. He seemed to give up at
once, and in answer to excited ques-
tions sullenly responded,
''Well, it seems you have me. I was
fool to come here. I demand of the
officers protection from this crowd
