I hope" I said. 81 have been told he
strongly objected to my arrest. And
| know whose influence caused him to
do So"
"Not mine, really" Florence earnest
ly replied. Father believed you were
innocent, and took the stand he did
for that reason. l did not know about
the robbery until after the first meet
ing Of the trustees. 1t was at that
meeting that he opposed your arrest.
| remember he felt quite triumphant
afterward, for most of the trustees in
sisted upon your immediat. arrest, and
it was only after father said that he
would never consent to it that they gave
up the point"
"Now that is pleasant to hear" l
cried, joyfully. What reason have you
to think he has changed his views re-
garding the promise?"
This morning, after we had passed
you, l said: That looked like Nelson
Conway Father laughed at me, and
answered that it must have been an
hallucination produced by constantly
keeping my thoughts upon you"
1t is impossible to describe the fasci-
nation of Florence's manner when she
told me this-how maidenly bashful-
ness blended with loves boldness, how
the bushes dyed her smooth cheek,
while her eyes shone with confident,
happy light.
"Then at lunch this noon father
asked me if II liked you as much as
ever. Liked was not the word he
used, but never mind, We'll use it now"
"And what did you answer? l asked,
eagerly and eXpectantly.
THAT not a day went by that I did
not think of you. And oh, Nelson" she
continued, her voice deep and full in it's
earnestness, that was not half the
truth. Why should l hesitate to con-
TESS it to you, my dear friend"'
Here / made use of my disengaged
arm. I could not help it. l drew her
closely to me. and kissed her blooming
cheek.
81 certainly she'll not go on if I am in
terrupted," Florence said, in gentle re-
mOnstrance.
"What did yops father say in an
swer?" 1 finally asked.
''He said he thought perhaps it was
unjust to both of us to insist on your
keeping the promise
Did he say that ?" exclaimed. "Then
Florence" but reallyit is enough say
that the dea- girl promised to be my
wife, even though the suspicion should
not be removed from me, providing Mr.
Morley's consent could be gained; and
she moreover promised to do all she
could to help me gain his consent.

ticular place, and | did not think to ask

tion opened up a new train of thought.
Could it be possible that the strange
voice l had heard proceeded from the
sealed cellar?
"Ah! l suppose the women are su-
perstitious and think the place is
haunted. Such ideas generally get
abroad about old, long vacated houses.
But you do not mind their talk?
You are not afraid of ghosts, are your

a BLOSSOM IN THE SOUL.

Across opple ripe, from out your store.
Cut q thin transverse slice, through grain
and core,
Not quartering or ranging with the stem.
There, in the center. an artistic gem.
Safe in that casket, guarded and concealed.
Held to the light, Is unto you revealed;
Perfect in outline, though long hid In
gloom,
Il Iimned perfect, shapely apple bloom;
The spirit of the blossom, from the past
Preserved within the apples heart to last
A seal and symbol. though thus veiled and
mute
That blooms are really souls Of ripened
fruit
That blossom once made fragrant far and
wide,
Like scented snow. but who thought 1t
would hide
Within this body as a secret shrine,
Perfect In form and in ghost-lke outline,
Proof of the all-important, sladsome truth,
That old age may possess the heart OF
youth.
Men missed its youthful presence. thought
It dead,
Watched for its disappearance with vague
dread,
Long missed its beauty, thought its petals
gone,
Yet here, like some yelled nun, the flower
lived on.
It's fragrance sealed. its beauteous petals
furled,
Retiring for a season from the world.
But all the while the body round II draped,
Was by Gods law of beauty deftly shaped,
And all the rosy-cheeked, prosaic whole
Was thus perfected by fiower-like soul;
Sealed in its casket, of its life a part,
Printing a blossom on its inmost heart.
Thus sleeps the music in the silent lutte,
Thus lives the blossom in the rlpened fruit.
Thus may the human thought and human
tongue,
Take beauteous form from thoughts for
ever young;
Gray hairs and furrowed face It's outward
part,
But blooms of childhood in its inmost heart

FASHION FAVORITES.
Various Modes for the Ladies' Tba1
Have Caught the POpu-
Iar Fancy.

Parisians have not yet tired of the
combination of red and gray and
back skirt. In the autumn it was
hat of red straw, adorned with red
tulle, poppies and a few black plumes
or wings. and the boa of gray ostrich
feathers was a necessary finish to the
costume worn with it. Now there is
cape or coat of gray astrakhan, or gray
faced cloth, elaborately braided and
Il mmed with gray fur, black skirt
and red felt hat, with black plumes.
lightweight white wooden dress fab
rics in fancy weaves are used for
dcbutantes' afternoon and evening
gowns.
Russian fronts of pearl and white
satin are seen in many blouse jackets
and evening gowns.
Sailor suits for boys grow no less in
popular favor, and the only changes are
ia the modes of decoration and acces-
sories. An acceptable change can be
made by having two vests, one cheviot
and one of white pique. The wide collar
is cut in sailor fashion in the back
while the front forms revers, edged
and held together by a siIllen cord
Sets of collar and revers can be bought
in many different styles of silk, wash
materials or fancy cloths trimmed with
braid or embroidery. If little lads
knickerbockers are not out at the knees
nor his jacket worn through at the ell
bows such "set" will make his suit
appear dressy and fresh.
Skirts and blouses OF MADEIRA work
are being mounted on colored silk foun-
1ations and are to be worn with silk
skirts. The effect is smart, and the
fashion will probably extend through
tie warm season.
Foreign fashion leaders are wearing
large quantities of expensive passemen-
tories, consequently il is Il foregone con-
clusion that the women of this country
will adorn their spring confections with
jets, beads and sequins.
OverskirtS. or the effect of overSkirts,
are one of the leading skirt modes for
the spring. The simulated polonase
formed of trimming looks well in black
velvet ribbon. \ black grosgrain
garnitured in this way, has three rows
oi black velvet upon each side of the
front breadth, in graduated stripes the
first ending about six inches from the
waistline with a rosette; the third
still shorter, finished in similar man
ncr.
A rose-pink cashmere gown for after
noon shows traced design in gilt
threads, and is finished with a mink
edging on skirt, revers, cuffs and collar.

ACQUITTED BY THE CROWD.
How n LeadvilIe Judge DodRes to
Make TOtes

1uke votes.
Twenty years ago Powers was an en-
gine wiper LII the shops at Burnham.
But, losing an arm in a railroad wreck,
he was obliged to use his head more and
his limbs less in the business of max
ing living for himself and little fam
lily. Drifting into Leadville with the
first tide of fortune hunters, Powers re-
manned there as long as he could con-
sistently and until the sheriff took him
down to Canyon City to live perma-
nently, that being considered health
ier climate for a, man of his tempera-
ment Che had shot and killed his son-in-
law, Pat Kennedy, in friendly go-as-
you-please with Colts revolvers). But
Powers was not nearly so vicious as he
looked, and during all of the years that
l knew him he had never once killed
mana pretty good record for that
vicinity. He was always a potent po-
litical factor, and filled various posi-
tions of honor and responsibility, from
justice of the peace up TO policeman
and janitor of the clubhouse and super
iIltendent of the chain gang. While
dealing out justice in the old city Jail,
n Mssourian was brought before him
for a preliminary hearing upon the
charge of horse stealing. That was
ranked as capital offense in Leadville
in those days, punishable with death
But the cu!nrit was from Joplin, and
had many friends in the camp, albeit
the court was crowded with them, all
determined, as every true Missourian
is, to see justice done. In the midst of
the proceedings a stentorian voice was
heard in the rear of the room, shouting:
Il move, your honor that the pris-
| oner be discharged"
That was all Powers wanted. To con-
Wet the Missourian would have been
fatal to his hopes of reelection, and
without waiting for a second to the
proposition he put the motion to the
house and declared it carried unani-
| mously, which it was. The court then
adjourned to Johnny Shea's, where the
| friends of tbs vindicated man did the
| handsome thing by the judge, the clerk
| and all of the bystanders.-Denver

a lady on horseback talking to the
agent.

it was Florence Morley. Her face was

did not see me. l drove along slowly,
keeping my eyes upon her, and debat-

fear held me back, a cowardly fear too.

AS the result Of longcontinued and
careful experimenting, an eminent ply
s:cian prescribes as food for typhoid
patients bananas in their perfectly ripe
state. In severe cases of typhoid the
lining membrane of the small intestines
becomes irritated and inflamed, and
finally develops ulcers of various sorts,
which throw Off coating after coating,
leaving the walls of the intestines dan
gerously thin. Solid food coming in
contact with these delicate spots pro-
duce rupture, with the most serious
results. The banana, which is almost
all nutrition, dissONes, and is largely
absorbed before it reaches the intlamed
part. The trifling residuum is so fine
and pulp-lille that no harm comes from
it. For this reason, and because the
banana has but about five per cent. of
waste, it is considered the very best
possible food for people suffering from
this form of disease.-N. y. Ledger.

with papers for members of the bar.
Don't you know" cried the judge, Sc

'that you ought never to pass between

relieved his mind. the judge proceeded
to pass sentence of seven years penal
