Lynched for Hog Stealing.

An aged negro was lynched recently

stealing. When discovered the body
of the negro was lying across the dead

The negro lived in a cabin near Sher-,
rill. The hog was Of the Arkansas:

about 81. For some time farmers;

scape. The housekeeper, Mrs. Hamp-
ton, showed her over the whole suite.
Lady Caraven preferred these.

said; most Of the Ladies Caraven

Hildred thought to herself that there
had never been another Lady Caraven
like her. She had been married-so it
seemed from the words her husband
had just spoke1-for her money; she
was not there because she was be-
loved by the master of the house, but
simply as an appendage of her money.
1t mattered but little what rooms she
chose; she did not at present even feel
so much at home as did the servants in
the house.

" IN the neighborhood the evenings
entertainment was incomplete unless
George and Bertha were present.
One evening in October last, while
the pair were returning from a church
FESTIVAL held at Geneva, George pro-
posed marriage to Bertha, which prop
osltlon he had made to her on for
mer occasion. Bertha Informed George
mat she loved him, but she would
nave to refuse his proposal, as her
parents were unwilling that she should
marry, and had so Informed her. Ber-
ina is idolized by her parents, and in
return they are worshiped by her. She
could not think Of disobeying them in
the matter
Ihls seemed to upset the mind of
maple, who, drawing a revolver from
his coat, said he intended ending his
ilte. In some manner Bertha secured
the revolver and kept it until they
reached her home, where she, on his
promising that he would not carry out
his threat, returned the weapon to
him and entered the gate leading to

SO, however, than she heard the report
OF the revolver, which was followed by
a second shot. With moan Maple
fell to the road, while the frightened
! girl ran to her home, where she was
met at the door by her father, into his
arms she fell, as he thought, corpse.
She was carried into the house and for
two days remained unconscious. After
looking after his daughter, and seeing
that she had not been wounded, Father
Vangordon, with his hired hand, went
to the scene of the noise, while a son
was sent for the nearest physician. On
reaching the road Mr.. Vangordon and
his companion found George Maple
with two bullet holes in his abdomen.
He was conscious and was carried into
the Vangordon home. where he was
given treatment, and where he was
nursed to health by Bertha.
When able he was taken to his home
nearby, and despite the fact that the
Vangordons are more than ever OPP
posed to his marrying their daughter,
he persists in demanding that she be-
| come his wife. Such an annoyance
has he become that Miss Vangordon
has refrained from accepting any invi-
tations whatever. The other Sunday
evening, the first time she had been
away from home since the unfortunate
affair, Miss Bertha accompanied her
parents to church at Norristown, and
soon after entering Maple walked in
and found a seat directly opposite the
one occupied by the young lady, at
whom he looked constantly, never TAX
ing his eyes off her during the SER
vices.

the handsome, debonair earl.
1T was chilly evening at the end
of October when the Earl and Countess
of Caraven reached Ravensmere. No
preparations had been made to receive
and welcome them. There was no gath
ering of tenantry. The earl's tenants
simply detested the sound of his name.
They had been so heavily burdened,
so taxed and tormented by the earl's
confidential agent Mr.. Blantyre, that
they had no welcome left for his mas
ter. They considered him an unjust
landlord, and they did not scruple to
say so. There were no glad shouts of
welcome for him; even the curly-head-
ed children had heard so often of the
earls folly and neglect that they had
no cheer for him when his carriage
drove through the streets of Court
Raven. Nor was there any warm well
come from the servants. They were

earl had never retained them. The

trained servants had been brought
from London; the stables had been

perity about the place, SO that the earl
hardly knew it again.
Did Lord Caraven miss the well
come? Did he see that he was disliked
by his tenants-that his servants
seemed to have no interest in him?
Did it strike him that a life of self
indulgence always brings it's own re-
ward? Lady Caraven gazed with Won
der at the magnificent home which was
to be hers. The first words she said
to her husband were:
Il had no idea that Ravensmere was
so large

he inquired.

An amusing incident occurred in one
of the big wholesale dry goods houses
on Whitehall street. The shopgirls,
of whom a large number are employed
IN the house, were on the watch, and
when the cry was made that "the
phllistines are upon us" there was the
biggest stampede ever witnessed in
that dry goods store.

lue money she nad brought him, never
occurred to her.
They dined together almost in 81
lence. Lord Caraven did not tell his
wife what a comfort he felt to see
the family plate once more in use. Hill
dred was slightly overwhelmed b. the
magnlhcencc of everything around
How little she dreamed that her for
tune had preserved the grand old place
from utter ruin-that but for her the
MASSIVE plate, the beautiful pictures,
even the old walls themselves, would
nave passed from the Caravens. and
the family name would have been
written in the dust?
Perhaps some such thought occurred
to him as he looked at the sweet face
before him; perhaps that thought made
him feel a little more kindly toward
Hildred.
After dinner was over instead of lin
gering over his claret, he joined her
in the drawing-room.
Il have been thinking" he began,
that you would like to see the house:
some OF the rooms are very handsome,
some of the pictures very fine"
Il should be pleased" she said, gen
thy.
Il have been thinking, too, that you
ought to make your choice of rooms.

IN the western wing. You shall see
them all and judge for YOURSELF
II should not like them to be very
far away from the rest of the house

DO you believe in the Ravensmere
ghosts?" he asked, laughingly.
Il have never heard of them But in

to feel that l was quite alone.''
"You shall choose for yourself" he
said, briefly.
Perhaps the hour that followed was
the happiest that Hilddred had known
since her marriage
He talked to her, and showed her
the various art treasures, the costly
pictures, the statues, the ancient ar
NOR. She was pleased and bright and
interested in all he said. He showed
her the library, where the accumulated
treasures of so many scholars lay.
When she had seen and admired all,
he said to her:
If all these were on the verge of
destruction, and one woman came for
ward to save it, what would you call
her?'
Il should call her the good angel of
the house, She replied, not having the
least idea that he was referring to her.

he said. You shall be the good angel

corning the big black Mex.ean who mar ried white woman at the Needles, and, beating her up mess'' one day. was found strung up therefor. or of Colonel Foansbee's branding and the dance that followed, where Pete Jones and Sam Ricard "shot 1t out and a bullet went through Matt Bargham's cherished fiddle.
 A story was just approaching the ap- palling climax and the dark eyes under the broad-brimmed hats were shining in the firelight with excitement when tattoo sounded, or would have sounded if there had been a bugle in camp, and newly made sergeant approached the group. "Feilers, you've got ter quit and hunt yer bunks," he said There was general chorus of approximations. The privates ex- plained that they were much more com fortable where they were and rather pre- ferred the night air; that the smoke kept off the mosquitoes.
 "Go and tell Brodie not to be skeered about us hurting our dilikit constitutions, said the man who was telling the story or the spotted heifer; but the sergeant was in- flexible. "There ain't no monkey business about this" he said; tits orders. Come hump yourselves, now" And, laughing at themselves for doing it, but yet without a thought of disobedience, the boys pro- ceeded to hump.
 Without taking their military obligations into consideration, anything that Major Brodie said would be law to this tribe. Many of them know him personally Some remember when he was the lieutenant Of the First cavalry under Crook All have heard of his record as an Indian fighter, for in every campaign of the stirring '7os against the Navajos, Sioux ard Apaohes, Brodie was in the hottest corners.
 The men were up betmes this morning without waiting flor reveille, and after some sharp shounds of viz g1rcusly piled axes the cooking fires were soon blazing Breakfast over the horses were well rub bed down, mounted and ridden down to the water Then the cowboy soldiers clattered back and set themselves about sweeping and garnishing the big barrack rooms. In- fantry drills followed, and until next ms ss call squads of the oddly assorted men were marched up and down the parade groun S.
 No arms have yet arrived, but a consign- ment of carbines and revo,vers sufficient for the whole regiment is now on the way, together with the necessary uniforms. This afternoon one of the men received a copy of a New York paper containing an ilus- tration of Theodore Roosevelt charging at the head of his men. Every long haired border ruffian in the crowd, the commander included, was depicted with whiring a lariat around his head as he bore down on the foe, the lariat swinging by the col, moreover, instead of the loop. The idea of such a proceeding tckled the Simon pure cowboys immensely and, amid shouts of laughter, the picture was posted up on the barracks room doors, but their apprecia- tion of this sort of imaginative art is not high
 This afternoon the advance guard of the
The age-herald., 1898-05-14

contingent of college men arrived from Washington. There were e'ght of them, strapping, broad-shouldered, well-set men, clad in light fawn canvas shooting suits that closely resembled the Khaki uniforms originally intended by the war department One of them was Goodrich, the captain of the Harvard crew, and two-William Scu3- der and l. Gerard-are Chicago boys. They took their first taste of camp life in pour ing rain tonight. Colonel Wood and Major Dunn moved from the comfortable quar- ters in the hotel, which, however, they occupied little of the time, and established their mess in camp.
 Major Dunn donned his uniform of the genuine Khakis for the first time to accus- tom the men to its splendor. He said: Really. the uniform is tremendously effec- tive. and worn with russet riding boots has a very business like appearance
 This Major Dunn is the George Dunn who acted as one of the judges of thorough breds at the Chicago horse show last fall, and his knowledge of horse flesh is proving serviceable in the present emergency. Some ouick work will have to be done to get the regiment ready for the expected move on Sunday, but Colonel Woods believes he VII be able to do it.
