Eccentric wedding journeys seem to
be the order Of the day and probably
the Queerest honeymoon spent by u
young bride is that of Lady Delamere,
the Wife Of the famous young African
hunter. For three months past, since
their marriage in the Cheshire house
of the brides father, earl of Enniskil-
len, the couple has been in Mombasa

from them to the brides father that
they are now organizing an expedition
to the interior and expect to be gone
from three to six months longer, when
they will return to England
Lord Delamere is the most noted
African hunter of the day His last
African trip continued over period OF
two years. For four months he was
not heard from and touched on dis
trict that the foot of white man had
never before trod, The trophies he
brought back are among the most re-
markable ever collected

CHAPTER LNll.

"'rhe Grave Alene Gives Peace"
The sun was setting--the western
sky was all ai,ame, great crimson
clouds tloated away with vapors OF
rose and orange crimson clouds that
threw Il rosy light ON the trees ana
fields. In the distance stood the old
farmhouse. the light fallths on the
roof with It's moss and lichen, the
great roses and white jasmine that
wreathed the windows, the tall oms
that stood on either side Of the fertile
meadows, the springing corn, the rtcks
of swoet-smelling hay The light from
the western sky fell on them all. From
beneath the tail elms with the trailing
scarlet creepers came tall. graceful
woman, whose face was covered with
thick veil; she stood for some time
watching The farmhouse, her beautiful
face white and set as the face OF the
dead. She threw back her veil as
though she was gasping for breath.
and then she stood still and motionless
as a marble statue.

tense.
Cherokee, April al-District court
closed here Thursday after the compile
ton OF the trial OF the case Of the state
vs.. Lizzie Schrader. The jury. after
being out about an hour. returned a
verdict of not guilty.
Last November Mrs. Sehrader was
arrested on charge of obtaining
money Under false pretenses from
Joseph Beck. and was tried before a
justice of the peace, and after several
scontinuances on account of her illness
she was held TO the grand jury. which
at the January term indicted her. The
case was called for trial at the March
term, which commenced on The 18th
day Of March, and after a hard fight
for five days a verdict of not guilty
was rendered.
Before her trial and after the first
waite house on account of her being too

while there she was visited by an aged
German named Rudolph Wachtler who,
after visiting her several times and be-

secure her bonds on the first Indictment
and after her acquittal was returned tc
Mr. Wachtler, but for the loan of this
$500 she was indicted and an additional

pose of trying this case only.
