The fever had come. I~nsiduously.
stealthily, it had crept in. There were
at first only a few cases. They didn't
know it vas fever at first and the con-
tagiOn spread. Then one patient died,
and the old doctor, after celebrating
among the cobwebs and iodoform-
fumes of his dusty and weather-beaten
office announced it as yellow fever.
There was n wild rush to get out of
town. Men with blanched faces and
staring eyes rushed aimlessly about,
each avoiding the other as far as posi-
bic. People were leaving the place on
foot, on horseback, in wagons. The
fright added to the danger, and some
were stricken as they endeavored to
leave and were carried back to die.
The church bell tolled constantly, and
day after day the town hearse could be
seen vending its way to the lonely lit
tie burying ground up on the red hill,
where the pines whispered sadly. And
the buzzards sat upon the house tops
and waited, waited.
There were few houses occupied.
Most of them were closed, while som
II had left without shutting doors
or windows, so great was their hurry.
The frost had come. For three nights
in succession the ground was white.
The weeds were blackened and drear,
and the leaves were falling fast. The
fever could live no longer.
One by n the stragglers came back.
Where whole families had gone away,
one or two members would return.
Some We're never heard of again. A
few skeletons lying under the magno-
las and bay trees in the lowlands, and
the buzzards sailing placidly above in
the deep blue sky could have told the
tale.
Some OF the stores reopened and some
remained closed, for there was no one
to undo the rusty locks. Some Of the
houses were the same. The people who
returned We're saddened and cowed.
They had passed through the Valley of
the Shadow.
Down the street came a Wagon filed
with children. A happy-looking man,
unkempt and roughlooklng sat upon
the seat driving, and by him was his
wire.
The old inhabitant was shutting
along, when he looked up in surprise.
Then he tottered out to the wagon and
shook hands vigorously.
How air We, Bob? | swanny I'm
glad ter see yer N the old lady n tn
chullen all lookln' so well. lowed

The man did not reply. He was look
ing longingly ut Il house down the
street.
You wuz purity bad skeered that day
saw you, wuzn't your cackled the old
inhabitant.
Yes" said the man; thank God.
was" And he looked at his children
and his wife and smiled. A moment
later they were speeding on down the
street and stopped in front of a home.

over and kissed the woman beside him,

Mr.. Heggerty-Why did you continue to
look for a will after you found the so-called
wife will?
Witness-Mr. Boyd told me he was sure that
there was another VIII. He remarked that
short time before Mr.. Davis left for the Esst III
said: 81 am going East, and have mace my
Will" To this, Mr.. Boyd informed me, ne re-
piled: 81 hope you won't forget the girls,
Uncle jacob and he said no; that ne Woulo
make provision Tor them; that he had remem-
dered Thorn.
Another reason given by Mr.. Curtis for
opening the copper box was that Mr..
Davis had saiG that he wished to have his
ashes placed in the same box with the
ashes of his late wife. The witness added:
Il did not know anything about the fam
ily history of Mr.. Davis. and did not
know that his true name was Dediker. The
dav before he left for the East he told me
that he hadn't relative living"
1t was developed that Mrs. Curtis and
Miss Muir have lived in the family of
Mr. DAVIS ever since they were children,
and that they were treated in an affec-
tiouate manner by him. 1t was also
shown that he had helped their brother
and other mem bers of the Muir family.
Further hearing of the case will be had
to-day.

| and her niece, Beatrice Anita.

| scene of II he Clemenceau Case" and in a
series of living pictures. The rest Of the
evening will be devoted to presentation
of kitty O'Connor."
According to Miss Ashley's description
of the living pictures in which she is to
appear for the edification and amusement
OF the audience, there will be an attempt
to tell the Baldwin-Ashley story in a
series OF pantomimic portrayals of recent
history-as interpreted by the Asheys.
The arrangement of the groupings and
the story sought to be impressed on the
audience remind one of the original mys-
terry and miracle plays with which the
English drama began.
In the first picture Miss Emma will be
dressed and made up to represent her un-
Juliet balcony scene. The Romeo OF the
stage will be made up as a counterfeit pre-
sentiment Of Lucky Baldwin.
This will be a ove-making act, said
Miss Emma last night, ito represent my
sister and Mr.. Baldwin
In the second living picture, according
to Miss Emma, she and the babe will be
clad in tattered and ragged garments,
while the actor who personates Mr.. Bald
win will be waving US away ana refusing
US support
The third picture will represent the OBJ
ject of the A shley revenge in the hands
OF Mephisiopheles, while the fourth and
concluding portrayal will show Miss
Emma and little Beatrice in Paradise
scene modelled after the apotheosis of
Eva in Uncle Toms Cabin
The debusante had number of photo
graphs of herself taken yesterday, posed
as the model in 1.-THE Clemenceau Case, !"
just as she will appear Oh the stage Satur-
day night
The sale of tickets has greatly encour-
aged her, and she says there will be a
crowded house.
