They were strange people, these Du

Kate was but on the surface.
Evidently madame had sent for her

Already Mollie had not a very high
idea of their probity, and wondered
how much power they had over the
child's fortune.
But she did not think of herself at
the moment, except to be glad that she
was no relation of theirs. And then
her thoughts drifted of to Reggie, and

Captain s. P. Emmerson, who has
Just died in Denver. was distinguished
as the leader OF company OF irregular
Confederate forces, commonly known
as xuerrillas, who hoped to capture or
destroy Chicago. Captain Emmerson
escaped capture on that occasion by
stealing a horse and riding away.
Many OF the exploits of his command
were az daring as those OF the Guam
trell. Morgan or Moseby raiders. He
was once captured in Kentucky. but
escaped by cutting a hole in the roo
Of his prison. Captain Emmerson was
q warm friend TO the James boys. He
never recovered from the grief caused
By the fall OF the Confederacy.
