She Heard II.

The supplied choir had done its duty
for the evening service. But all during
the church hours there had been a pc
culiar sound outside as IL a child were
crying. In reality 1t was something the
matter with the organ. 1t could be
heard distinctly in the auditorium of
the church. When the choir sang the
occasional and marched slowly out of
the church into the dressing-rooms one
of the young ladies among the sopranos
asked the woman who takes care of the
robes:
Ibid you hear that awful squealSing
out here?''
"Yes, indeed, mum; / could almost
understand the words"
And nothing more was said on the
subject.-Detroit Free Press.

ington Star, are oftentimes his most
painstaking efforts.
His wife was wide awake and wait
ing for him when he entered the sane
titled seclusion of their apartment.
Il was so afraid of waking you,
dear" he stammered, as he let the
shoes fall from his nerveless grasp to
the floor with couple of dull thuds
so'close together they seemed as one.
She asked him in 8. stone cold voice
where he had been to be getting in
at that time OF night.
He thanked heaven for an oppor-
tunity to explain, and he told her a
narrowing tale of business and de-
layed trains and telephones out of or
der and telegraph wires down and no
messengers that would have moved a
heart of marble.
She never said word as she looked
straight at him.
"Do you doubt me?' he said, as IL
indignant at the implied suspicion of
her silence; and then pleadingly: do
you doubt me2 oh, Mary, how can
you?"
Her face softened and the fixity of
her eyes relaxed.

most gently. 'No, do not doubt you.
At first there might have been some
doubt in my mind, but now, thank
heaven, there is none. Not a shadow,
William, and I'm as sure that you are
lying as that you are standing before
me-"
Then William bowed his head in
shame and turned up the gas-at her
request-so she could get better look
at him.

THE WORM TURNED.
Mrs Gary's Divorced Husband Would
mt Split Wood and Then She
Had Him Arrested.

Mrs. Martin Gary, who was divorced
from her husband a year ago, caused
his arrest because he would not go
home and split wood for her, says the
Chicago Evening Post.
"The nerve of the mani" she said to
Justice Kersten. Because we are di-
vorced is no reason he shouldn't split
wood for me when it's cold. It was
cold Tuesday and 1 sent for Martin.
He used to be good woodchopper.
Well, when that husband who once
was mine came to the house and
looked at the woodpile waiting for

last year." said the defendant, 'she
lost the right to boss me, and I did

but it was not gallant" Justice Ker-
stem told him
Detective Jackson told of arresting
Gary and of Gary's willingness to

wife and three children lived.

Gary.

an, no more"
Justice Kersten fined Gary for some
of the rude language he used in tell
ing his wife she had no claim on him
and then the man who wouldn't split
the wood, and the woman who wanted
him to, left the courtroom together
for their house at 172 North Paulina
street, where their three children

is young, beautiful fine type of the
ishapely western American girl-decided
to get rid of him, it is alleged. 1t is
asserted by some that affection for a
younger man was the motive for the
murder.
According to the story told here, Mrs.
Rich stabbed her husband while he was
asleep. He did not die immediately.
The wife decided to take him out of the
country, hoping that she might escape
in the United States the punishment for
the crime with which she was charged.
Juarez is only few miles from the
border line. 1t did not take Mrs. Rich
long to get her husband into Ell Paso de
Tolas, on the United States side. He
died the day after arriving there.
The Mexican consul in the town i'm
mediately demanded her extradition to
Mexico, but Mrs Rich set up q claim
that she was an American citizen.
The government of Mexico sent pa
pers to Washington with instructions
to its minister there that extradition
be granted. On July Is President Nc
Kinley signed the papers.
Wrapped in the stars and stripes
Mrs. Rich left the prison in FL Paso on
July %, and on the same day entered
the prison at Juarez with the same flag
around her. She appeared to be brave
then, but her eyes were dimmed with
tears. She was allowed to take the flag
TO her cell, and every night she covers
herself with it while asleep.
Five months awaiting trial has played
sad havoc with the young woman's
mind. Mexican prisoner has none of
the comforts of an American prison,
and women are treated no better than
men. Those who have seen Mrs. Rich
lately say that her hair is slowly turn
ing gray, that her eyes are sunken, her
checks hollow, and from a beautiful
woman she has become haggard and
downcast.
No reason can be learned for the de-
lay in Mrs. Rich's trial. 1t is believed
that if she is not given some change in
her surroundings she will have to be
removed to an asylum.
On July 80 Secretary of State Hay
instructed Ambassador Clayton, sta
toned in the City of Mexico, to watch
carefully the trial to see that no in
Justice was shown Mrs. Rich.

Cuba Her Social Elements.

The dispassionate observer who ear.
ncstly studies tue conditions of Cuba
will find in her population three Well
defined and entirely distinct products,
possessing trihing notifications and par
tial tints, originating from racial mix
ture and climatic adaptation. These ele
ments are the white Cuban. the Cuban
of more or less confessed African eXtrae-
ton and the peninsular SDaniard.
Through special circumstances these
three elements have acquired, and still
maintain, a strength so nearly equal that
it may be assumed without fear of error
that each one of them-in one case
through numbers, in another through
adaptation to the climate and in the
other through wealth-possesses an equal
share of social power. The white Cuban
is the most numerous; the negro is the
most apt to prosper under the sky of the
torrid zone, and the peninsular Spaniard
is the possessor of nearly all the persona!
and of a good part of the real property
of the island. and by the ties of family is
very intimately connected with the white
Cuban population.-The Forum.
