His wife is dying, and when he
neard l was going away can't tell

IL he still cared-sure that he did. And
the worst of my humiliation last night
was that he let me see how unideal has

Love has a stubborn disregard OF
w~orthiness, jeanne" he answered
sadly. Did the revelation that man
made affect your love for him."

cured all these years." she answered,

She spoke with the unconfusion and
frankness their peculiar relationship
had engendered, but she was startled
out of her Inconsistencies when he
exclaimed, "By heaven! Jeanne, do
you think | will go away after that?"
He drew her to him, in spite of her
resistance.

arms about her to stop her struggling.

that thought came you %repulsed it:
you were guilty only of an unadmitted
sense of hope, which you could no

Am l not right?"
She stirred uneasily.
But how am 1 better than he?"
"You know. He dishonored you
and her and himself; he violated all
the instincts of delicacy."
"And yet-if he"
And yet it is so. I don't think I
need be jealous of him again. Stand
still; l am not going to let you free
not until you have kissed meat least,

And I presume she kissed him, for
when footsteps approached, Jeanne, in

both at once stopped to pick it up Mrs.

Forest, Miss, Oct 2i.-As result
Of the bloody war being waged be-
tween the whites and negroes Ia the
Ilarpersyillc neighborhood, Of this
county, there are eleven dead negroes
and one dead white man, while three
white men and one negro are suffering
severe wounds, Several OF the rioters
have been captured and lodged In Jail
at Forest, but the Others escaped In
the swamps, Large crowds OF white
men are In close pursuit, however, aud
more names are hourly expected TO be
added 10 the death list.
II is impossible TO obtain full list
Of the killed, for the reason that some
Of the negroes were shot down In the
woods and were hurriedly buried by
the whites where they fell. A member
Of the posse said that lac helped bury
the negroes In trenches, but neither
himself or any one In his crowd knew
their names, and they did not care
enough about them TO inquire.
Governor McLaurin went TO Hoop
ersville yesterday and appealed TO the
whites not TO modest the prisoners In
the custody OF the sheriff. The gov.
ernors talk had good effect on the
majority OF those In the crowd, but
some OF the hot-headed members did
not relish the governors interference e,
but he finally persuaded the crowd to
