All ADMIRER OF WOMEN.
A Matrimonial Repeater Who Got
More Enam0red with Each
SubseQuent Wife.

I was riding along the road leading
across Hurricane gap, in the Pine mountain
range, thinking OF the peculiar people who
lived IN these fastnesses, when I was
startled by voice up the hillside calling
to me to come up and give somebody Lift.
L had no idea who owned the voice, but
whoever 1t was was in trouble, and I re.
sponded and found man of 60 or more
caught by the foot under fallen tree and
1 soon had him on his feet, and he insisted
on my stopping further down the mountain
and taking dinner with him. He lived in a
weilkept cabin with his daughter, and
after dinner we sat in the shade of a tree
in the yard and he told me about himself
Air you married?" he asked, after he
told me he was widower

said, waving his hand as if warding off m,

A MUCH-MOURNED MOTHER.
Col. Shafter Thought Twice in One
Month Was Too Often for
Her to Die.

When Shafter was senior colonel of the
army he was temporarily in charge Of some
western post, and numbered in his COM
p1and an exceedingly bright, capable fellow
whose cleverness was continually getting
him the noncommission stripes, and whose
escapades were just as frequently getting
him reduced to the ranks. One day this
soldier turned up at Skaters quarters with
a long face and applied for leave to attend
the funeral of his mother, who had died the
previous night, he said, in the town. The
request was granted, but later on, in looking
over the same records, the colonel discov-
cred that the same man had been granted
leave the month before on the identical pre-
text. Shafter said nothing, but a couple
of days afterward encountered the bereaved
warrior on the parade ground. Look here,
my man" said Pecos Bill, solemnly, II want
to ask you question. Were you good to
that mother of yours while she was'alive?'
"Well, sir--yes, sir-that is, I hope so,''
stammered the culprit, not knowing what
was coming.

Lampkin did not see the detective
again till late in the afternoon of the
cay thus begun. He met Hendricks as
ne sprang from a cab in front of Grace
church, on Broadway.

detective said. "There is much to look
into. I am sending out trusty young
fellows in many directions. AS for me,

"You want to see if"
"If one-handed man has been taken
to a regular crematory."
''Ah, a good idea, of course. Have
you read the papers?"
"Only the headlines. They are
enough for me. Denham's star is in the
ascendant, but it will sink eventually
into mud-puddle."

Smith, gunner in the service of the
East Indian company, was known az
1.-The sweep" derisive name given to
mark some eccentricity, for the man
was character. He had charge of tho
boats belonging to the military star
ton, and one day wrote the brigade
major, asking: "When shall I have
the bote ready?" The major replied,
"Have the boat ready at such an hour" :"
When the major went down to tho
river with a party Of ladies, he asked
Smith how he spelled ''boat.' Una.
bashed by the presence of ladies, Smith,
without symptom of nervousness, an.
swered the officer: '*Some people spells
it boat, but spells it b-o-t-e."
But Smith, Notwithstanding his
mocking nickname, wasnot man to be
laughed at. One day the roof of the
building which held the ammunition
caught fire. There was a panic; even
the best disciplined soldiers lost their
heads. But "the sweep mounted the
roof, pulled of the thatch, poured buck
cts of water over the flames and saved
the magazine. 1t was as plucky thing
as it was possible for man to do; for
there was powder enough in the build

a petty officer.
One day fire broke out on the vessel
near the magazine. Davie, seeing that

AS they walked away through the
lonely streets Hendricks recounted
minutely what had taken place in the
studio.

when his friend had concluded. 1T is
plain that he is as mad as march hare
The detective reserved his opinion on
that point, and Lampkin studied his
flce in no little surprise. Hendricks
paused, struck match on a wall and
lighted a cigar. He held two in his
hand, but he was too much absorbed to
offer the remaining unlighted one to his
friend.
"You certainly think Gielow did the
killing, don't you?" questioned Lamp
kin, taking the cigar as it was travelling
back to Hendricks vest pocket.
''Oh, beg pardon:" exclaimed the de-
tective. II was not thinking of what I
was doing. AS to your question, it is by
far too early to pronounce the artist
guilty, sane or insane. If I did that,
there would be nothing left to unravel,
and don't operate that way" He
heaved big sigh. "Doctor, mark my

A PRAYER FOR RAIN.

The thlT1t1nE earth, o LORD,
Looks longingly to Thee;
One common prayer Is poured
From herb and flower and tree.
On stony beds the rills
Have hushed their happy song.
And on a thousand hills
For food Thy cattle long.
The patient farmers spend
In toll the weary hours,
Trusting that Thou wilt send
The increase with Thy showers.
And we. though we forget
And make Thy mercies vain.
We are Thy children yet
Send rain, 0 Lord, send rain!

The doctor nodded.
"All of them point to Gielow's love

thought lighted up his face and he
said:

Minard Hendricks, great detective, just
returned from Boston, finds awaiting him
an unsigned typewriter letter directing
him to apartments in Palace hotel, where
he will find remain of Mr.. Weldon Caruth-
ers-currently reported for past two weeks
to be out of town. Detective seems to con-
meet letter with attempt made on his own
life some time previous. Goes with friend,
DR.. Lampkin, to investigate. Upon sahrch
of Caruthrs' apartments remains Of Gre
mated body and jeweled hand Of victim
are found in vase. Hand bears marks of

Lampkin recalls reports Of a row between
Caruthers and Arthur Gielow, both suitors

uthers' death. Late that night Hendricks

Since his return to this country he

days he put in serving sentence in the
Springfield jail. The gang he was with
in Springfield are not the men who
took part in the North Grafton affair.
The men separated directly after their
release from JAIL and since that time
he has seen none of them.
Officers Boulley and Edwards of
West Springfield, who arrested Day, or
Lee, as he was known in Springfield,
came to Worcester yesterday morning,
and in company with Inspectors O'Day
and Stone, paid visit to the Summer
street jail.
They recognized Day at a glance, in
fact the man admits he is the same one
arrested in Springfield under the name
of Larry Lee, but whether Day or Lee
Is his right name or not is more than
any one can say. The officers failed

thought previous to yesterday that he
was Charles NcCluskey, who took part
in the affair in Springfield.

district court yesterday morning on the

tinued and Norris was turned over to
Inspector Bullock of Fitchburg, who
took him back to stand trial III that
city.
The prisoner was seated In the dock
of the Worcester court yesterday morn
Ing when Inspector Bullock entered the
court room. At sight of the Fitchburg
officer, he was seen to start and change
color, at the same time muttering to
the prisoner who sat next to him: "It's
all up with me now"
1t only remains to establish the iden-
tity of McGrath and the officers who
have had the matter in charge will
consider they have done good piece-pf
work. From what Day says, it would
appear that McGrath is what he
claimed to be in the first place. a west
erner and stranger in this part of the
country.
MOTIFS may or may not have been i'm

but the fact that he was armed and

line on different occasions would make

CUBAN ASSEMBLY.
1t Adiourns Until Return Of Commission
From Washington.

Havana, Nov. 1.-THE Cuban dele
gates at their last session at Santa
Cruz del Sur resolved to discharge all
men who have been enlisted since Au-
gust IA, the date Of the cessation of
hostitlities, and to give an indefinite
leave of absence to all officers and men
desTous of being discharged from the
Cuban army, provided they give their
place of residence, and sign a pledge
to return 10 the ranks in case they are
called upon to do so. The assembly has
adjourned until the return of it's COM
mission from Washington. The assem-
bly, has constituted Domingo Mendenez
Capote, president; Fernando Freyre
and Hugo Robert vice presidents. and
Manuel Maria Coronado and Porfiro
Valienfe, secretaries.
The delegates and all the officers of
the Cuban army who have returned
here, have been the objects of an en-
thusiastic welcome upon the part Of
their countrymen, though the best of
order prevailed. Cubans arriving here
from Gibara say the most friendly rela
tons exist between the Cubans and
Americans there.
