Gus, vowing that his favorite horse
could outrun the wind. He undertook
the task of proving it.
Roam did run well, but at turn in
the road Gerald lost his balance, fell
to the earth and died instantly.
The aged servant of God sighed deep
ly-then a silent prayer to Him who
is the comforter of all sorrowing
hearts. Then with fatherly tenderness
he called jamie to another room, knelt
by her side and asked for grace to
sustain her in this hour of double grief
and disappointment.
jamie listened as one who dreamed.
Never a word did she speak. The old
man who had been the one to COM
fort many of his flock in the day of
bereavement read in her face the
tokens of resignation to God, together
with determination to do. For a mo-
ment he was puzzled, then he placed
his hand tenderly on her head and in
quired: my child, what is it that
you have decided to do?"
Il will spend my life in fighting this
fiend who has robbed me of my earth

Taking her hand in his, he prayed
Gods blessing upon her.
''Then go to your room. my child"
he said, "and I will send your parents
to you"
Years passed by, Many were the
victories scored by the temperance or
ganization of which this strangely
quiet little woman was the leader. Her
name was spoken through the Land
as leader in all crusades against rum.
The years passed on and she grew
more Christ-like in her daily life.
1t was a quiet Sabbath morning-all
nature seemed aglow with life and
grantly; the church bells chimed soft
ly, the great organs solemn tonW
could be heard at a distance. stirring
the holy emotions of the human heart.
This appealed to jamie.
Slowly she wandered out into the
cemetery and stood once more by Ger
AIDS tomb.
All absorbed in her own thoughts
she did not notice the approach of a
messenger. Turning to see who it was,
she was astonished to see her brother
whom she thought to be in Columbia,
where he was staying temporarily as
a member of the general assembly.
''Why, John, what is the matter?"
she exclaimed
Sister, DR.. Long has delirium tre-
mems"
"Oh!" exclaimed jamie.
"Dr. Long" repeated her brother,
'has delirium treRens and has killed
our father"
Slowly strange, incomprehensibl
look came over her face. Her hands
dropped helplessly to her side.
n can do no more. oh, am so tired.
John, take me back to mother"
These were her only utterances. John
carried her to the home--reason never
returned. The few remaining years of
her life were spent in the state asylum
for the insane.
How long-oh. now long! shall this
curse continue to break the hearts of
our people?

Richmond, Va. June 1.-THE people
of Botctourt county are much excited
over an assault which has been COM
mitted on Misses Bessie Linkcnhoker
and Nellie I[eister, two attractive
young ladies of that county, who were
found inscnsible in the road.
1t was at first thought that they had
been hurt in a runaway, but upon re-
covering consciousness they stated that
negro had attacked them with a
stone rolled up in n towel. Their
clothes were torn and muddy and evil
derces of Il struggle were apparent.
The stone was also found near at hand
Searching parties have been organized
and the county is now being secured
for their assailant, but SO far without
success.
The commemorative Attorney has
communicated with the Governor as to
where he can obtain troops in case they
are needed and the Governor has ar
ranged so that they can be secured on
Il moments notice. 1t is proposed to
prevent n lynching il it can possibly
be done.
The condition OF Miss Keister is crit
ical, and should she die some one will
no doubt be hung to appease the fury
of the people.
The Governor said this evening that
he had notified the Botctourt authori-
ties that the troops could be obtained
from Roanoke in two hours time, but
had heard nothing further.
