Slowly we moved toward the house,
the broken man leaning his whole
weight on me. Not a word was uttered
by either of us until we reached the
steps leading up to the piazza. There
he drew back, and / hastily placed my
arm behind him, from the fear that he
was about to sink down. He did not,
however, and, as l soon found, he had
paused simply to speak before entering
the house. He gazed into my face long
and earnestly, and such an appealing
look was in his eyes that was stirred
to deepest compassion.
''Swear to God that she shall always
respect my memory; that she NAV
never hear anything to cause her to
change in her love for me-" he said,
brokenly, and in the manner of one
in a dream. promise this he de-
manded, fiercely
do you refer to Florence?" / asked,
thinking that his mind was wandering.
"1es, yes"
why, you know how deep and true
is her affection for you, Mr.. Morley"
And always shall bel" he exclaimed.
ihelc Gun De no uOuDt OF II, i am
sure. Nothing could change her.
Come, let me help you in"
Not yet. Swear that she shall never
hear anything to make her change" he
again demanded, whatever happens.
Swear it! Give me your oath before
God!"
Thinking to humor him in his weak
ness. and yet strongly impressed by his
terrible earnestness, l raised my hand
and made the desired oath.
Mr.. Morley drew long breath and
then again spoke, in firmer tones.
Il believe you will keep this promise,
If you did not the other" he said.
Il will keep it, if it is at all possible"
l answered, earnestly.
1T is for her good"
"For Florence's?"
"1es, for Florence's good"
Depend on me, sir. This promise
will be kept faithfully"
Then, Conway, marry my daughter
my beloved daughter-my treasure!
Marry her soon, Immediately, Now

THE QUEST OF FORTUNE.
Sure to Be Found, Says Mr. Gozzleton,
If One Only Takes the
Right Road.

"The longer l live the more firmly I am
convinced" said Mr.. Gozzeton, that man
who wants a fortune has got to do some.

and small, are shy, very shy. In one form
and another they are passing by all the
time, but they won't stop for the mere ask.
ing, however polite and graceful and ear.
nest the invitation may be. We might sit
out on the veranda from now till doomsday
and rise and bow and scrape at every one Of
'etn that came along and ask 'em all in, but
never one of 'em would stop. They might
want to come in, but nothing short of actual
collaring would bring 'em in. The fact is
that if we want a fortune we've got to work
for it.
"Men have made fortunes, to be sure with
out working. Oil may spout up out the ground
one man owns and cover him with riches.
Another man may find iron ore in his land
and SO on. But such cases are SO few in
number that they don't count; the chances
of our getting rich in that way are really
not worth considering. If we would be rich
we must work for it. And work early and
late; all the time. Plug at it, and keep
plugging at it. There is practically no other
way.
''The man who idles away his time, or fails
to make the best possible use of it, stays
poor; the man that works for all he knows
how and keeps forever at it is bound to get

cry before her, whichever you may
choose to make it. You are-pardon
me for saying it-you are a breaking
man." Mr. Morley sprang from his
seat at these words, and stood erect,
confronting me with a glare of angry
resentment in his eyes. But went on.
Nothing could have stopped me then.
1T is true, sir; the signs of ill-health
are upon you. That was one cause,
the change in you, which brought the
tears to your daughters eyes just now"
His naughty manner subsided, went
down suddenly. He sank upon the seat,
covering his face in his hands, and
groaned.
L could not help plying him, neith-
er could l resist taking advantage of
this change.
Il entreat you, sir, to ask Florence
to speak out to you from her heart.
If she exhibits the slightest compunc-
ton at the thought of being my wife,
L solemnly promise never to intrude on
your notice again-to withdraw from
your life and hers as completely as
though | had never lived. Think, Mr..
Morley, if anything should happen to
you
Happen to mel" he broke in, with
hoarse tones.
why, yes; people die, you know,
sometimes suddenly" l faltered, too
much astonished at the terrified look
which came over his face to choose
my words. But my amazement
changed to alarm at the effect of the
last remark.
Mr.. Morley's face became ghastly;
his under jaw dropped, and his hands
worked convulsively. His lips moved,
too, but no sound came from them.
Thoroughly frightened, l stood and
watched him, then started with the in
tention of summoning aid. But he de-
tanned me by a gesture. Finally, after
painful struggle, speech came to him.
How did you know that?" he gasped,
in tones so low that 1 was compelled
to bend down over him to catch the
words. "How could you know-the
thought-the feeling-the conviction of
sudden death-has been constantly
with me of late?-Oh, God! 1t is com
ing, L know it-coming soon, that sud
den DEATH"
No, no, Mr.. Morley" I answered,
briskly. Cheer up, sir. 1 was only
supposing a case. You will not die,
sir. You are sick man, and that is
the cause of your gloomy premonitions,
depend upon it. Allow me to help you
into the house. Go to bed, and we'll
have doctor at you as quickly as pos
sible. You'll be all right again soon.'
The fact is, really thought the man
was dying, and, in the fear of that,
my words were rather extravagant
He did not seem to notice them, how
ever, but sat there with his head
dropped on his bosom. 1 shook him
gently by the arm, and he raised his
eyes. Yielding to my uplifting mo-
ton, he staggered to his feet.

SHOTGUN INSTRUCTION.
A Missouri Judges Unwritten Law
Which n Jury Respected.

Judge Falconer, of Kentucky, who
gave the "unwritten law" decision in
the murder hearing of man who shot
the despoiler of his home, is but one of
several men who have held openly on
the bench that homicide is not crime
when committed to avcnge ones honor.
Some years ago, in the criminal court
of st. Louis, Bill Smith was on trial for
an attempt to murder Mrs. Sterling, a
reputable woman who had the manage
mCnt of her husbands farm during his
absence. The Sterling farm was in Hi
nois. Sterling was in California at the
time of the attack. His wife was an
attractive woman. One of the men on
the farm was Bill Smith. His atten-
tons to Mrs. Sterling were more en-
phatic than discreet and he was dis
charged. He went to st. Louis and ar
ranged a plan by which Mrs. Sterling
visited that city, though she was ig-
norant of Smiths connection with the
scheme. He met her, to her surprise,
soon after her arrival, and demanded
that she sell her farm, which she could
have done at the time without the con-
sent of her husband, and go with him
out of the country. The woman de-
clined. Smith forced her into hall
way and nearly succeeded in cutting
her throat with a pocketnkife. The at
tack would have carried but for the ar
rival of help.
Smiths immediate arrest followed,
and he undertook to justify his act by
the statement that the woman had tri-
fled with his affections. Sterling re-
turned from California to assist the
state in its prosecution. During the
trial it was noticed that Sterling sell
dom took his right hand from his
pocket. Laughlin, the judge, directed
the jury to find Smith guilty, and then
said:
eff Mr.. Sterling had taken a double
barreled shotgun on his return to this
city and unloaded both barrels into the
carcass of this man Smith, even if he
had done it in this courtroom, the act
would have been not only justifable,
but proper and to Mr.. Sterling's credit.
But as he did not, gentlemen of the
jury, you will pass upon the defendants
guilt, and l will assess the punishment,
assuring you that it will be to the full
extent"
Of course the verdict was guilty. In
passing sentence, which was ten years.
Laughlin scored Smith and repeate mis-
shotgun instructions. When this was
done Sterling took his hand out of his
pocket. He had resolved to kill Smith
if the verdict was differently. Y. Sun.

"How does it happen that he is sta
ton agent at Sidington? Why does he
remain here at ALP"
Father procured the position for
him at my request. The detective said
it was the best place to watch the rob-
bers from, for absolute secrecy was
necessary, and no one would suspect
the station agent at retired place like
Sidington of being a detective. Of
course l did not tell father that the
man for whom l desired the position
was a detective"
/ made no reply to her last words. In
deed, l could not. My mind was in
whirl
ut is all so mysterious, and now
your dear life is threatened" Florence
exclaimed, the tears again coming to
her eyes and falling down her cheeks.
While again endeavoring to calm her
the sound of approaching footsteps

Just What He Wanted.

One of the first men to reach San Fran
cisco with hoard of Klondike gold was an
lrishman named ,Finnegan, who had been
very poor before he struck it rich and who,
consequently, was unfamiliar with many or.
dinary uses of a life of luxury.
"Oi say, yez kin bring me two dozen eye
sters," he said airily, as he took a seat in
one of the finest restaurants in Frisco.
The oysters were soon set before him, and
Finnegan, looking about him for something
to put on them, and hardly knowing what
the, something should be, spied bottle Of
Tobasco and proceeded 60 season the bi.
valves, not wisely, but too well.
1mpaling an oyster on his fork, he
thrust it into his mouth, then eaped to his
feet with a terrific roar of pain and began
dancing. about and yelling like a mailman.
"See here!" cried the proprietor, rushing
to the table, "keep still, or III put you out!"
"P-p-put me out, is it? Oh wish yez would
put me out!" yelled Finnegan. "Me in.
aides is blazin' loike match factory!"-

"Most assuredlv. sir"

MOST aSSuredly, Sir.
Why an anxious look should appear
on his face l could not tell then. l
know the many sudden changes of ex-
preston which came over him during
the conversation caused me consider
able surprise at the time.
II have not kept track of that af-
fair" he began feebly, 'having been
fully occupied with my own concerns.
Have-er-have there been any new de-
velopments, any discoveries upon which
you base your hope"
San innocent man cannot be made
to suffer forever, according TO all laws
of truth and justice. ! firmly believe
my name will be cleared, perhaps SOON
er than expected"
"Then your hopes are based on mere
sentiment, and not on any discovery
bearing on the case?" Mr.. Morley asked
MOSTLY on the idea that truth will
eventually prevail" l replied, epigram-
matically.
"A most unstable anchorage nova
days. Facts and proofs are what the
practical world demands. SO, then, you
ask me to rescind my request made of
you a year ago, Notwithstanding the
fact that the conditions remain the
same. You have broken your promise
to me; how then am | to know that your
protestations of love for my daughter
are sincere?'
| stared at the man in astonishment,
for his words were delivered in cold,
matter-of-fact manner, and, if there
had been any reason for it, should
have thought there was triumphant
ring in the tones of his voice.
The idea that Horace Jackson had ac-
tually succeeded in persuading the IA
ther that l was the guilty one in ref
erence to the bank robbery flashed
across my mind. l knew, too, that,
deep and sincere as Florence's love
was for me, she would never be my wife
against her fathers wish.
In bitterness of heart / broke out in
volume of words. urged on to earn
estness by the fear that my darling
would be lost to me:
Good God, sir! You love your daugh-
ter; you love her tenderly. Your devo-
ton to her has been a synonym of fa-
therly love; everyone has spoken of
it that knew you. Then how in heavens
name can you endanger her happiness
in life by persuading her to marry a
man she cannot love-one whom she de-
tests, the very sight of whom is alb
horrent to her? Oh, sir, she is young
and has a lifetime of happiness or mis-
