- In court We're discussing in ex-
cited whispers what would be the re
suit of their decision.
At length 1t came: Guilty"
The prisoner at the bar turned paler,
and clutched the dock for support:
while the Judge assumed the black cap
and pronounced sentence.
Richard Clood, you have been found
guilty of murder upon evidence which.

of any person who has been present In
the court and heard It,"
Then followed the last dread SEN
tence.
"Could there be fairer daughter of
Eve? If / could only win her.'
Clarence Bolton gazed with eyes of
passionate love upon a beautiful, girl
ish figure, just retreating with tea
tray from the rustic arbor in which he
was seated.
Clarence Bolton was a pedestrian,
and devoted his Saturday half-holidays
to tramps in the country. In the course
of one of these he had entered Il rustic
cottage in Kent, where teas were pro-
vided for travellers and pedestrians.
Here he had met his fate, Nellie Gould.
Clarence had resolved over and over
again to declare his passion, but his
courage had as often failed him at the
critical moment. That one moment in
the lovers calendar advantageous
above all others came at length and he
seized it.
He had met with an accident and
ripped the sleeve of his jacket. He
asked Nellie for needle and thread. She
not only brought both, but offered to
do the stitching for him.
The compact was sealed in the little
arbor.
Many happy weeks passed. There al
ways seemed to be one shadow, how
ever, in their pathway-Mrs Gould.
She wore an air of perpetual sadness
and gloom, from which not even her
daughters happiness could arouse her.
"Why is your mother always so sad?'
Clarence one day asked.
poor mother? Haven't you ever
heard? l never like to speak about 1t,
but-but-my father was murdered"
'Murdered" exclaimed Clarence In
horror.
Murdered. It's many years ago now
I was only little child at the time
and my mother never speaks of 1t now.
But can you wonder at her sadness"
mo, indeed. But who was the mur-
derer?'
"A wretched man named Clood. He
was tried, found guilty and hanged"
'"Thank heaven for that. Well, Mel
lie, when we are married we must have
your mother always with us and try to
make up for the sorrow she has
known"
When he left the cottage that even
ing Nellie Gould had promised to be
his bride in months time.
A happier man than Clarence Bolton
when he entered the shop of his guar
dian on the evening following it weuld
have been difficult to find.
William Seek was prosperous
tradesman who had taken deep inter
est in the young fellows career, and
Clarence had therefore considered 1t his
first duty to acquaint him with the
step he had just taken.

his pocket.
Two days after a body was found
close 10 the cottage where Nellie had
lived with her mother SO many years
ago. 1t was that of the beggar An in
quest WAS held, but there were no
means of establishing 1t sidentity.

man has reached the age where big
words are apt to floor her, and where
she is very sensitive to the remarks of
an older brother.
Not long ago she came running in to
her father.

"Why, what did George say?"
"Oh," said the little girl with a
strong expression Of disgust, ''he said

day discover 1t, and then she could
only curse him. Should he, on the other
hand, confess to her everything, and
leave her to the responsibility of decld-
ing whether or not The tie between
them should be broken? No; that was
a responsibility he had no right to
place upon her shoulders.
A couple of days later Nellie Gould
received a registered letter in which
was enclosed 1000 The letter accom-
panying it was brief:
Dear Nellie-I am compelled to leave
the country through no fault of my
own. l shall never see you again, but
my affection for you will always be the
same. | shall love you until the day of
my death. The money send Is yours.

children. The los sof her lover years
ago had come upon her at first with
crushing force, and she had hoped to
hear from him again. Then, after a
further lapse of time, she had followed
her old lovers request, and married
another. With the $1,000 they started
little shop together. 1t grew and
grew until 1t became one of the most
hourlshing businesses IN Elton.
When the shop was closed in the
evening her husband would usually go
to the Chequers Inn, at the end of the
town. In order to discuss the events of
the day with his brother tradesmen.
Returning one evening, he found a
beggar resting on the doorstep of his
shop. His hair and beard We're quite
white. his skin wrinkled, and his
cheeks hollow. He appeared to be quite
worn out,
John Elliott was n kindly hearted
man, and now he was touched with
pity. He invited the man into the
house and gave him some supper. This
the wanderer scarcely touched, but fol
lowed with eager eyes the figure of
Mrs. Elliott.
Then he adrotly gained from John
particulars about his family. He had
two sons and one girl, John told him,
The eldest boy was named Clarence.
HE is named after an old sweet
heart of the wife's. 1t was her wish,
and | respected it; for he seems to have
been a good sort of fellow. We owe
whatever fortune we have to him. His
money gave us our first start in mar
ried life"
The strangers hand wandered to his
eyes. Had the other been watching he
would have seen tear trickling down
the furrowed cheek
"As you have been kind enough to
sfve me n bed for the night may l ask
one other favor? / would like to see

The next morning the three children
were introduced to the stranger. He
took them In his arms and kissed them
in turn. At Clarence he gazed long and
earnestly, sat him upon his knee and
fondled him; and then, while Mrs
Elliott's back was turned, seized pair

The st. Adams Messenger discovers
that in case Gen. Grout is elected to
the Senate at the next session of the
general assembly and proceeds, as he
doubtless would, TO take his seat in
that body at the session which begins
in December, 1900, it would create a
vacancy in the House, inasmuch as
whoever is elected to succeed Grout in
the September previous, cannot take
his seat until the session of Congress
which begins in December, 1901. This
would necessitate a special election for
the temporary term. Herein is another
curious wrinkle OF the federal consti-
tuition, a relic from the early days
when 1t was impossible to travel to the
capital within the time between the
November election and the first Mon
day in December. over a year elapses
from the time a representative to Con-
gress is elected until he takes his seat.
The way to avoid this trouble of a
special election is clear. Keep Grout

can be proposed only at ten-year per-
iods next year is one-by the Senate.
Proposals have to pass the Senate by
two-thirds vote; have to be ratified by
the House by a majority vote; have to
be submitted to the people at the next
state election; and have to pass both
houses of the next general assembly
In running this gamut any proposition
would be likely to be thoroughly aired.
The seating of Mormonist Roberts in
the national House of Representatives
is now leading question. Mr.. Rob
erts was regularly elected from a Con-
gressional district in Utah. No ques-
ton is raised as to the validity OF his
election. The objection made to him
is that most people consider him a poly
gamist. It is a fact not disputed that
Roberts has several more wives than
the law allows. They are the result OF
the system OF plural marriage which
Mormonism formerly sanctioned, which
made that sect SO hated and despised
and which served TO keep Utah so long
out OF the union, until the Mormon
church received an opportune reyela-
ton from on high, commanding it to
cease. Some very fine points are
raised by this Roberts case, Mr.. Rob
erts married all of his wives before
Utah was admitted to statehood,
though under its territorial govern
ment no civil sanction for such mar
Tiages existed. Before Utah was adj
mitted, size was required to incorpor-
ate in her organic law prohibition of
Only on this condition was
it possible for her to acquire statehood. |
Having been done, it was granted her.
Now comes Roberts, several times a
husband, sent by Utah as representa-
tive to the very Congress which made |
it possible for him TO act as such only |
on conditions of which he is the actual |
OF the violation. On the |
other hand, the House has never
to pass on the moral quail
ihcations of its members, accepting
their election as a certificate thereof
The House can, and probably will, ex-
pei him but it will establish a prece-
lent that may cause much trouble in
uture. If Congressman are subject to
expulsion for alleged offences against
he civil or moral codes, it is liable to

the statutory deposit Of S25 is not
made (the law grants exemption when

away at Gen. Grout through the lat
ter's retained organ, the Newport

the charge that Prouty is showing rank
ingratitude to Grour by opposing him,
inasmuch as Grout secured tor Prouty
the place on the interstate commerce
commission which he now holds, when
il was offered to Grout himself. Mr..
Ranney intimates that Grout did this
so as to shelve Prouty from entering

that the only logical successor" of

people prefer. Mr. Ranney is the
