The neTt instant the man aDds on his bHck
amusement of his companion, who
laughed and swore gleefully.
When he got up, the rufflan, red
with rage and swearing that he would
have revenge, approached Lola, who
awaited his attack with unfinching
courage, eying him steadily the whole
time. Rendered cautious by his first de-
feat, he held off for moment watching
Lis opportunity, and then with Gull
hing feint be put Ler off her guard and
rushed in, pinioned her arms and held
her.
She struggled to free her hands, but
the fellows sinews were too much for
her, and she was beginning to fear that
he would overpower her when she
heard him vent hoarse, cultural, chok-
ing sound and saw that Sir Jaffray had
come up and caught him by the throat,
half strangling him in his fierce tenn
per. The next instant the man was Oh
his back again in the roadway, flung
there with great violence by her hus'
band.
"Are you hurt, Lola?" he asked, with
the pain of suspense in his eyes.
"No, not in the least Come away.
That brute's getting up again.
The fellow was on his feet again d.
rectly, and both he and his companion
had drawn their revolvers.
"You don't shoot women in these
parts, do your" said Sir Jaffray sternly.
"Wait. Come, Lola"
He led her away to house that was
open at some little distance, and, putting
her inside, told her to wait.
"You mustn't 60 back, Jaffray," she
said, fear that she had never felt fol-
herself awaking on account of him,
and she clung to him to keep him by
her.
Don't be afraid" he said kindly,
and, putting her hand off his arm with
a firm, gentle strength, he went out
again. He walked straight up to the
bully who had assaulted Lola, and, dis,

struck him with his clinched fist fear
full blow in the face, knocking him
down with thud which resounded all
across the road. The man lay like 8
stunned OK. Then Sir Jaffray turned tc
the companion, but he, seeing what had
happened, fired his revolver at random
and ran away, swearing.
When Sir Jaffray went back to Lola,

RARE OLD DA1NTIEs. Perhaps the
most remarkable dinner on record was
that given by an antiquary named
Goebel, in the city of Brussels. A de-
scription of it is furnished to the Bos-
ton Cooking School Magazine by one
of the guests, Mr.. Amaziah Dukes, of
New York.
At that dinner I ate apples that RI
pened more than 1900 years ago !;
bread made from wheat grown before
the children of Israel passed through
the Red Sea, and spread with butter
that was made when Elizabeth was
Queen of England and I washed down
the repast with wine that was old when
Columbus was playing, barefoot, with
the boys of Genoa.
The apples were from an earthen
jar taken from the ruins of Pompeii.
The wheat was taken from a stone
shelf in an old we'll in Scotland, where
for several centuries it had lain in an
earthen crock in icy water, and the
wine was recovered from an old vault
in the city of Corinth.
There were six guests at the table,
and each had a mouthful of the bread
and teaspoonful of the wine, but was
permitted to help himself bountifully
to the butter, there being several
pounds of it. The apple jar held
about two thirds of a gallon. The
fruit was sweet and as finely favored
as if it had been put up yesterday.

THE TYRoLEsE LovER.-In the Ty-
rol the first time young man pays a
visit as an avowed lover he takes with
him bottle of wine, and, pouring out
glass, presents it to the object of his
affections. If she accepts it the
whole affair is settled and his pro-
posal of marriage (unspoken) has been
accepted. Sometimes she is not pre-
pared to surrender at once, and then
she will make excuses as to wine dis
agreeing with her, or that her priest
had forbidden her to take any, or, in
fact, any subterfuge, that occurs to
her at the moment. The purport OF
the excuses is that the proposal made
by the offer of the wine is premature.
Not a word need be spoken, as the
act of Infringing the wine," as it is
called, is synonymous with the act of
proposing, and the custom dates back
to the Ninth century. If any of the
wine is spilled it is considered an un-
lucky omen, and there is a saying for
an unhappy marriage: "They haye
spilled the wine between them"

if all were discovered, without any loss
except such as touched her social posi-
ton and her money interests, che felt
that she could 60 through all with the
certainty of ultimate success.
But if she loved her husband there
were thousand and one complications
which might follow, each Of which
would be source of undoing.
It was no trouble to her to feign love,
to school herself to seem happy in heI
husbands presence, to be bright and
cheerful with him and to shower upon
him hundred attentions which seemed
the spontaneous outcome of desire to
please, but were in reality the more
shrewdly chosen because clever cal
oulation prompted each and all.
Gradually she was surprised at the
ease with which this acting was done
and the pleasure which it seemed to
give her in the doing, nor did she guess
the real source Of the pleasure until an
incident which happened when they
had been away some two or three
months revealed the truth to her.
They had ridden into far outlying
town in one of the southern states, and
Lola was standing in the street alone
waiting for her husband, who had been
detained at the place where they had
stabbed the horses. A couple Of drunken
rowdies passed, and, noticing her beauty,
stopped and spoke to her. She took nc
notice except to glance at them with SC
much contempt in her expression that
one of them lost his temper and, with
a deep oath, tried to clutch her by the
wrist. vowing he'd kiss her for her in
science.
He reckoned without her strength
and pluck, however, and as he grasped
at her she pushed him violently back
ward and struck him with the heavy
end of her big riding whip in the face.
He staggered back and measured his
length on the roadway, to the intense

Carolina-Tempted To Move Back to
His Native State.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
GLEN ROSE, Texas, January a.
While visiting my relatives and friends
in South Carolina during the Christ
mas holidays, was requested by quite
a number of readers of THE ENQUIR-
Err to give them short sketch of Tex
as through its columns.
At the outset, must remark that to
attempt to write up Texas as a whole,
with her varied climates, soils, pro-
ductions and people, would be a task
rather greater than I would care to
undertake.
This is a country of magnificent
distances, and, consequently, great va
riety of climate. For instance, during
the winter, in the extreme southern
part, the weather is warm and pleas
ant. There are to be seen great fields
of sugar cane growing luxuriantly, the
wild flowers are in bloom, shedding
forth their fragrance, and the birds are
warbling their sweet notes the same as
during Piedmont springtime. Du-
ring the same season, in the extreme
northern part of the state, all vegeta.
tion has long since yielded to the fire.
quent blizzards which have swept the
country, and the chilly blasts of win
Ter reign supreme.
Our little town is located near the
centre of the state and has milder
climate but it is nothing to brag on.
We are subject to changes that are
sharp, sudden, and often disagreeable.
One day it may be warm and pleasant,
and the next will call for overcoats and
wrappers.
This county (SomervelD, of which
Glen Rose is the county seat, is one OF
the smallest counties in the state. The
Brazos river flows through the entire
eastern part, while the Paluxy, one of
its main tributaries, flows through our
town and empties into the Brazos
about two miles to the east. These
streams never 70 entirely dry, the
Paluxy being fed by numerous flowing
wells. Glen Rose has 70 of these
wells, flowing streams of from to 4
inches in diameter each, and in conse-
quence is not only a famous watering
place but also quite popular sum-
mer resort. Hundreds of people come
here during the summer months; some
in search of health, and others to en-
ljoy the pleasure of hunting, fishing,
and of the beautiful mountain scenery.
The greater part of the country is
somewhat broken, being diversified by
hill and dale. The growth on the hills
| is principally cedar and live oak.
About 25 per cent. of the land is tilla-
BILE, and is very productive; but owing
to the irregular seasons full crop is
uncertain.
Farming and stock-raising are the
principal industries. No attention is
given to manufacturing except in the
larger cities. This occurs to me as a
great mistake on the part of our peo-
pie, as 1 think that nothing we could
do would more quickly build up town
and country than cotton mills.
I was glad to see, after an absence
of 20 years, that my native state is
leading all the southern states in the
manufacturing industry. The i'm
proved condition of my former neigh
bors, as the result of this; is quite
noticeable. In fact, I was so impress
ed that am almost persuaded to re-
turn and again cast my lot in South
Carolina. j. j. HoGUE.

cial success, and was running at
profit. Having finished this to his
satisfaction, the wizard makes the fur
ther announcement that he has per-
fected plan for gold mining on an
equally colossal scale. He claims to
be able to work low grade ore at
proft-ore running so low as $1.25 a
ton could be utilized. For this pur-
pose the field of operations will be the
south and not the west. Since low
grade ores extend over vast areas in
the southern states the outlook for the
scheme, according to Edison, is pecu-
liarly favorable. 1t would sound like
bosh from anybody but Edison. But
he has made realities of so many Wis.,
ionary schemes that one feels obliged
to credit both his sincerity and his
ability.

s8 Some of the British troops in the
Irish rebellion did not fight particu.
larly well. A certain general, at a
lord lieutenant's party in Dublin, was
admonishing begging woman to leave
the place, when she said, "It is that
am proud to see your honor here in
the red coat you wore the very day
when you saved the life of my boy,
little Nickel" "Indeed !'replied the
general, not sorry to hear anything to
his credit on such a distinguished oc-
casion. ~ had forgotten all about it.
How did I save his life ?" "Well,
your honor, when the battle was at its
hottest, your honor was the first to
run; and when me little Mickie saw
the general run, he ran, too, the Lord
be praised !"

and is finally accepted. Beryl, though
she loves Sir Jaffray, magnanimously ac-
quiesces. Lola and Sir Jaffray are mar
ried and leave England. Turrian makes
his appearance at the home of Beryl Ley
cester and learns of Lola's marriage.

Is 1T THEIR SON?
j. j. DOwncy Will go to Phoenix
vile to Ascertain the Identity
of a Dead Man.

Tnc family Of James J. Downey, oil
No. ITO Chestnut street, this city, are
still in doubt as to whether the man
shot in Phoenixville, Pa, by the police
is their son James J. Downey, Jr., or
not.
Mrs. Downey is positive that her son
James had the letters ''J j. d." tattooed
on his arm and reports say that the
Phoenixville man had only the letters
-. d." upon his. ii Mrs. Downey's
me alory is correct there can be no douI
but that tins is not the missing son.
James Downey, the father, is in con-
slant communication with Chief DolaA
on the subject, and it is probable that
some member of the family will go to
Phoenixville today and endeavor y
identity the remains.
Young Downey disappeared from -
home about fourteen years ago, and when
he was II years of age, and during that
time the family heard but twice from
him. These letters came short time
after he had left, and he was then in the
West.
Of late years nothing has been heard
OF tho missing son, though on several
occasions prior to this the family hasN
been called upon to investigate clues
relative to the whereabouts of their boy.
No explanation can be given as to wing
the young man should have left home as
he had always been treated kindly by
his parents.
