The moon was coming up behind a
spot on the end of the mountain which
seemed to be bare of trees, and every
rock, every irregularity of the surface
stood out in sharpest outline against
the mellow background of the light.
The tea bell rang; but the young as
tronomer was conscious of nothing
but the glorious spectacle before her.
All too soon for her unsatisfed sight,
the disk began to draw, away and show
a lessening arc of shadow. But now a
thing happened at sight of which she
caught her breath in shock of sur
prise. There was some change among
the stones SO sharply drawn against
the face of the moon. Something there
had moved; and now the half of a hui

and long hair falling about the neck,

unmistakable, and then sank slowly

The moon was almost clear of the

A GREAT REMEDY.
For Sufferers From Piles.

DR.. Redmond, a specialist in the study
and treatment of piles and rectal dis
eases, recently stated that the Pyramid

of piles, was the most remarkab BILE rem
edy he had ever seen or tried in one
respect; and that was the instant re-
lief experienced in all cases. no matter
how severe. from the moment the rem
edy was applied. This was the more
surprising to him because he had care
fully analysed the preparation and no
trace of opium. cocaine or similar pOi-
son could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor m
on the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it is
rapidly taking place of surgical opera
lions and because it is so simple so
easily applied and contains no mineral
or other pOisOns so commonly used in
cures.
Dr. EsteTbrOOk reports that the Pyr-
amid Pile Cure not only cures the var
iOus forms OF piles, but never fails to
give immediate relief on the first appli-
cation, no matter how severe the pain
or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the i1t-
slant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important advan-
tage is the fact that anyone can use the
remedy without detention from business

upon the suggestion of Judge DOllenbaugh
he had gone to see Miss --, and that
she had stated she could not raise $40, 900,
but finally agreed to pay $4,000.

did not want to take $4,000, but Dollen-
baugh said we had better take il. He and
1 left the room together. Miss - said
she would make the first payment $500

take two-thirds- The next day the set
tlement was made in my office"

island for cents seems an absurdity,
but one situated in the Straits of Mack

The island in question is Rock Island

Goose, Eagle and Haven islands and
sold to the highest bidder, who happen
ed to be William St. James of St Ig-
mace. None of the islands contains an
entire acre. Mr.. St. James bid $1.25 an
acre for the property. At this rate Rock
island, which contains one-twenty-fifth
of an acre, cost the. purchaser just >
cents.
The only use to which any of the is
lands can be put is to build summer
cottages on them This is said to be
the purpose of the purchaser.
Green island, another tiny bit of land,
which was put up at the same sale, was
purchased by Thomas Dwyer of this
city, who also paid S1.25 an acre Like
the others, it is situated in the Straits

STRANGE THINGS COME OUT
Which Show That There Must Be
Something Rotten in Court Trials.

Governor Leedy this afternoon grant
ed a pardon to Charles N Lee, who is
in the penitentary under sentence of
death.
on. January q. 1894. VIM. Crawford
was killed in Crawford county. The
murderer was unknown and a mystery
surrounded the case, but Lee was final
y arrested for 1t and was convicted on
circumstantiaI evidence, 1t being alleged
among other things that the dead mans
revolver was found in Lees possession.
In March 1895, Lee was sentenced TO
the penitentiary for one year and then
to be hung, which in Kansas means a
life sentence in the penitentiary.
Lee was an old soldier whose relatives
lived at Carthage, Mo. He was of un-
sound mind and had been in the insane
asylum three or four times. When he
was not in the asylum he spent his time
wandering around over the country.
Since he has been in the penitentiary
evidence has come to light which shows
that Lee was in Fort Scott on the night
Of the murder and that the revolver
which he had was procured from a doc
tor in Joplin. Mo.
In view of these things the board of
pardons recommended a pardon for Lee
some time ago, but Governor Leedy did
not act upon II until today.
