Indignation, moved him? Had he
grown ashamed of his Incidence? Had
he tired Of his pleasures?
Sitting opposite to him at dinner
time, she looked at him attentively.
Certainly there was change in his
face. 1t was brighter, keener, more on
the alert; the eyes were full of light;
he seemed interested in what was go
ing on. Once during dinner she met
Sir Raoul's glance, and 1t was full OF
pleased surprise.
"Now is my time" thought Hildred-
NOW may secure what l want"
When the gentlemen came into the
drawing room she made herself most
fascinating and charming. She sang,
she talked; the whole party thought
her exceedingly entertaining. 1t was
when her husband was looking most
pleased, and listening to her with real
interest, that she went up to him.
II have a little favor to ask Of you"
she said. Twill you give me five min
utes Of your time this EVENING"?
His look was one of pleased, bright
expectation.
"Assuredly, Hildred-as long as you
like. I am beginning to think that
my interviews with you are welcome
ones"
So, when most of the visitors had
gone to their respective rooms, the earl
fingered. It was something novel to
him, this appointment with his own
wife-something piquant. He waited
for her in the drawing room, where
the blinds were still undrawn, and
through the windows Of which lovely
moon was shedding floods Of silvery
light.
Presently the door opened and his
wife came in. She had removed the
Jewels from her hair and her breast;
her lovely face shone with new light;
her rich dress, her dark hair, made her
a most attractive picture. She went
up to him.
"You are very kind to wait, Lord
Caraven," she said. IT could not get
away before. Lady Damers insisted on

COST OF A DOOR HANDLE.
Likely to BE High When One Wants
Something Unique.

Likely to BE High When One Wants
Something Unique.
The aesthetic person who desires
unique door handle for his favorite
room must pay for the privilege. For
ty. fifty, even seventy-five dollars may
be the cost of the first door handle
made after a new pattern. The metal
is worth perhaps only few cents, but
the labor comes high. First, the ar
chitect draws the design and submits
it to the manufacturer that is to finish
the handle. He turns it over to his
modeler, who makes an exact pattern
of the handle and lock in clay or plas-
ter. Every line that is fat in the de-
sign is raised in this pattern, and the
more elaborate and intricate the dec
grafton the more difficult his work. The
pattern is then given to the man who
makes the mold, or oftener several
molds Joined together, known as gates.
These are usually OF plaster, and the
molten metal is poured into them with
out in any way affecting the plaster
When the metal is cool the handle 10
taken out, thing of beauty and ex-
pense for the architect, the pattern
maker. the mold-maker and the man
who pours in the metal must all be
paid for their work. The first door
handle only is thus costly. When the
mold is once made the price Of door
handle decreases according to the num-
Der made. so that the five hundredth
door handle costs scarcely more than
the metal put into it.-New York Sun.

 TRIAL OF FATHER AND SON Who Killed Husband of Daugh- ter and Sister. PUT UP SELF DEFENSE PLEA
 Hf .s4 Claimed That the Daughter Found Her Hus- band Was a Bigamist, and Notified Them to Come HeavlyArmed.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Greenville, Feb. 1O.-The triad of Dennis and Lucius Atkinson for the murder of George Hunter was continued before Judge Tyson in the circlI5t court today. About noon the state ahhounced closed, having made out strong case against father and son.
 c. B. Parl1hdll, of Pensacola, for the de- fense, brought forth evidence of the elder defendants insanity. Members of his own Family testified to the strangeness of his actions for a period of several years, and his sister, Mrs. Malissa King, who resides in Pensacola testified to several strange capers on the part of the elder defendant, which led her to doubt his sanity. The main fight was made on the guilt of the son Lucius who MT. Parkhill claimed acted in seif-defenSe
 The defendants testimony, supported by several negroes was to the effect that he only shot Hunter to save himself, after the deceased had gone down in his pocket for a knife. It was in evidence that his hand was clasping the knife when he was taken away a corpse by the employees of Mr. Glasgow, for whom he was foreman.
 Young Atkinson, in his staement claimed that his father had received a note from his sister who was then married to Hunter the contents of which caused the killing. This note was read by the elder defend- ants daughter, who is an extremely good
  ance altogether above what would be looked for in a. country girl. She answered questions put to her by Mr. Parkhill and Solicitor Stallsworth with the air ana vocabulary of an educated woman and her evidence created a great impression on the jury.
 The defense showed by this witness that in the note she had appealed to her fath- CT and brother to come and rescue her when she discovered that Hunter had wife and two children living in Missouri. This was a stroke unexpected by the state, and will have an important bear ing on the result of the trial.
 The prosecution put on the stand sev- eral negroes who swore that there was no pen and ink in the house with which the previous witness could have written the note. The air of the defendants daughter and her evident refinement which has been acquired since her second mar riage to a man named Adams had its inn press on the court and jury, however, and able to discount 1t.
 The plea of the father and son is that they went to rescue Mrs. Hunter, and as she had requested them to come heavily armed, they had done so. The deceased, they claim, brought on his own death by his threatening attitude towards the younger defendant. All the evidence for the defense was not In when court ad- journed at o'clock. Solicitor Parkhill is making an able fight and has won popular opinion to defendants where before there were threats of lynching. 'r st"f q

LEADING GEORG|ANS
 IN CONVENTION
To Encourage Manufacturing Enterprises and Stimulate
 Home Industries.

Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 10.-The Commercial convention, composed of leading Georgians from all over the Empire state, was called to order in the house of representatives of the state capitol today by Governor At kinson. The convention today is the out come of call sent out some time ago all over the state, asking that such meeting be held. The motive of the convention is the encouragement of manufacturing in dustries in Georgia and to recommend home industry.
 On opening the session today Governor Atkinson made a brilliant speech de- lending home industry and asked the peo- pie of this state to use all their power and influence to build up and foster manufac- lures. He said that agriculture in Geor- gia was valueless as compared to manu- featuring and closed by describing the advance that had been made in his home county, where over a million dollars had been invested in manufacturing industries.
 Probably the most enjoyable feature of the convention was the Bohemian smoker at which the delegates were entertain- ed at the Kimball house tonight by the Chamber of Commerce. An excellent menu was served and the toasts were eloquent and highly entertaining.
