Cant say that do" he replied.
cit seems strange you should leave
the city to engage in the practice of

I said, musingly.
"Why stranger" was his curt ques-
ton.
''Oh, well, you are quite advanced in
years, and, with your long experience
ought to have commanded larger and
more lucrative practice in large place
like Philadelphia than in small coun-

He did not reply for few moments,
but stood with a whimsical look on his
face with his eyes turned toward the
floor.

The old lawyer not seeming to notice

finally asked.
''Oh, did you catch it, too? Nothing

GOING ALONE.

With curls in the sunny air tossing,
With light in the merry bright eyes.
With laughter SO clearly out ringing
A laugh Of delight and surprise;
All friendly assistance disdaining,
And trusting no strength but its own.
The past fears and trials forgotten.
The baby Is "go1ng alone"
How often the help he has needed
Has carelessly strayed from his side;
The hand of the loved one to sustain him,
His tottering footsteps to guide.
See. he has fallen while reaching for SUM-
beams
Which just as he grasped them have
flown:
And tears Of vexation have followed
But now he is going alone"
All through life he will learn
This lesson again and again.
He will carelessly lean upon shadows,
He will fall and weep over the pain,
He will learn what a stern world we live in,
And he may grow cold like the rest;
But keep a warm sunny welcome
For those who are trueSt and best;
Yet not trusting his all in their keeping,
But stronger and manlier grown,
Chastened and taught by past sorrow.
He learned to walk bravely alone"
And yet not alone, for our Father
The wandering footsteps will guide
Through all the dark waves of earth life,
And over the rivers deep tide.
All! here is strength unfailing,
A strength we can perfectly trust,
When all human aid unavailing
The dust shall return unto DUST

"No. The flame came, and got no

certainly is curious. There seems to be
complete circuit formed somehow, or,
more properly, two circuits; when one
is closed the other is opened by that
closing, and vice versa"
While making the foregoing remark
the old fellow was leaning over the
table, intently scanning the two papers.

room? % I asked.
"Yes'
"From where?"
Between the window and chimney, it

There was large nail sticking in the
wall, which had been covered with
whitewash. A flannel coat which had
hung on the nail the night before was
now lying on the floor, charred ruin.
The nail itself was blackened, and
was quite hot, as contact with my
fingers told me.
Great heavens!" exclaimed, start
ing back, "this is the strangest phenom-
enon. What a wonder the house is not
ablaze!"

I ushered the old lawyer into the
room. After few commonplace re-
marks he said: THAT walling-up Of

was very willing. Together we de-
scended the stairs to the storeroom.
Mr.. Sonntag examined the place
where the door had been, infinitely,
as though he expected to find in the
stones of the wall some intimation of
what was on the inside. He even went
so far as to scratch off patches of the
whitewash.

said, glancing around.
Perhaps the door can be opened" 1
suggested.

it would be best not to use it. Give me

handed him all had with me, and
he, by the light afforded. examined
closely the places where he had
scratched off the whitewash.
While watching him, the thought
again occurred to me that I had seen or
met him previous to my arrival at Nell
sonville.

had seen you before" said.

side place." the old lawyer remarked,
as we assembled the stairway.
''That was not whitewashed, and, if
I remember rightly, the stones used
looked old and worn like the rest of the
foundation" said.
"Yes; the stones used in both the
doorways were old ones. But they are
of different kind of stone," he re-
marked, with shrewd smile.
Different kind? What significance
would that have?"
Cali the stone quarried about here is
limestone. You will find the founda-
tons and walls under your house are
built with this kind. If any other kind
was used it would have to be brought
for the two doorways."
"And was therefore brought from a
distance?" 1 asked.
"Perhaps not IN this case"
"But you said there is nothing but
limestone quarried about here" I sug-
gested.
"And that is true The stones used
in the doorways had been used before

A RACING SCANDAL
Charge That the Jockey
Opiopio Was Bribed.
The Boy Makes an Affidavit.
Owner of Antidote Had
SuspiCiOns.

There were special meetings Of the
Executive Committee Of the Hawaiian
Jockey Club yesterday in the forenoon
and again in the afternoon. There had
been presented by Mr.. VIM. VOTERS a
matter which required attention. This
was the affidavit Of Jockey Opiopio
concerning certain races on the Fourth
of July Opiopio swears that he was
threatened violence and paid SO be
sides to pull" the running horse An
tid0te in two races. These events were
the mile, won by Amarino and the
mile and a quarter, won by Sympa-
thetic's Last. OpIopiO has been a rider
of good horses here for a number Of
years and it is said that he las always
had the confidence Of his employers,
though he has been known to go on
sprees just at the wrong time. On a
number of occasions Opiopio has at
tracted attention by having sort Of
a faintng spell after coming in first
with his mount The grave charge
made in the affidavit is laid against
Bullman, the boy who came here from
the coast lately to ride. Bullman is
quite young, but is a very good jockey.
He has a first class reputation in San
Francisco for straight riding and hon
est behavior. pullman denies that he
made any approaches to OpiOpiO other
than to Josh" him and says the state
ment that he fixed" two races for $40
is absurd on the face of it. He points
to the betting as showing that there
was nothing wrong.
The owner of AntidOte says chat he
suspected something was wrong in
connection with both events and finally
secured a confession from OplOplO.
One thing represented is that the STIR
rups were bent from pulling" Mr..
WOlters says that he does not care for
entrance fees or purses, but that he
wants fair racing or he will have moth
ing whatever to do with it in any way.
''Dick' Davis, in whose name Am
arino ran, Indignantly cOntradicts any
such story as OpiOpiO tells and for one
thing points to the fast time in which
the mile was made. Mr.. Schuman,
whose horse won the mile and a quar-
ter. says he knows nothing Of any re-
ported ''jObbing."
Mr.. Davis sends the following to the
Advertiser for publication:
Having heard all Sorts Of rumors
yesterday in regard to the Amarino-
Antidote race on July 4th, would say
emphatically that neither myself or
those interested with me in AmarinO
in any way offered a bride OF any kind
to the rider or anyone else connected
with Antidote. AS my lease on Am
arina expired on July 9Th l am not in a
position to offer to race him the same
as I would be willing to do under ord
mary circumstances, but if the Anti
dote owners think that an unfair adj
vantage has been taken OF them l
will race them either for $1,000 or
ST 500 one mile dash in four weeks.
Should anyone care to accept this prop
ositiOn l will buy Amarino if possible.
l am yours truly,

From Tho News, Jackson, [. 5. A.
The subject of this sketch is ffty-six
years Of age, and actively engaged in
farming. When II years old he hurt
his shoulder. and a few years after
commenced to have rheumatic pains
IN it. On taking a slight cold or the
least strain. sometimes without any
apparent cause whatever, the trouble
would start and he would suffer the
most eXcTuciating pains.
He suffered for over thirty years,
and the last decade has suffered so
much that he was unable 10 do any
work. To this the frequent occur
rences Of dizzy spells were added, max
ing him almost a helpless invalid
He tried the best physicians but
without being benefited and has used
several specific rheumatic cures, but
was not helped. About one year and
six months ago he read in this paper
Of a case somewhat similar to his
which was cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and concluded to try this remedy.
After taking the first box he felt
somewhat better, and after using three
boxes, the pains entirely disappeared,
the dizziness entirely left him, and he
has now for over a year been entirely
free from all his former trouble and
enjoys better health than he has had
since his boyhoOd.
All the elements necessary to give
new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves, are contained
in a condensed form in DR. Williams
