OlIE. Year,

One year ago to-day. beloved
God gave thee aneel-wings
That thou might st soar to realms above
Where angels walk and seraph sings.
Whom hast thou seen these months, be-
loved,
In that dear land so bright?
Did loved ones meet thee at the gate
With raptures CT delight?
whathas thou done these months, beloved?
Where hast thou daily wrought?
Full well [ know, with loving deeds
Each moment has been fraught.
GTast thou been oft with me, beloved,
On comfort mission sent?
HAST O er my tear-wet couch a night
In tender pity bent?
Would I could lay my cheek, beloved,
Close up to thine once more
And tell thee all within my heart,
Just as l did of yore.
And thou couldst speak TO me, beloved,
Of all the visions rare
That dawn upon thy wondering sight
In yonder mansions fair.
But Gods sweet will be done, beloved
In patience will l wait
aTill His own hand shall lift the latch
That opes the 'tpearly gate
And thou with radiant smile, beloved,
Wilt haste to meet me there.
What seems my cross will prove my crown
When Heaven with thee share.

little escort, rode forth from Emory on
that perilous mission-the very morn.
ing that Birdsall and his murderoua
gang set forth from Gate City in pur-
suit.
AND now those hoofbeats UP the
road were coming closer. and Fol
som, too, could hear and was listen
ing, even while studying Loring's
face. Suddenly a faint CLEAN shot
across the darkness overhead. Glanc-
ing quickly upward, both men, deep
in the shadow, saw that the eastern
window on the southern side was
lighted up. Out in the alleyway low
yet clear, whistle sounded-twice.
Then came cautious footsteps down
the back stairs. The bolt of the rear
door was carefully drawn. A Wom-
ans form. tall and shrouded in long
cloak, came swiftly forth and sped
down the garden walk to the rear gate.
"Come on, quick!' murmured the en-
gineer, and on tiptoe, wondering, the
two men followed. They saw her halt
at the barred gate. Low, yet distinct
she spoke a single name: "George!"
And without, in the alley voice an
Awered: 81 am here! open quick!"
Swear that you are alone!'
ooh, stop that damned nonsense! OF
course I'm alone!" was the sullen re-
ply, and at the sound of the voice Lor-
ing seemed fairly to culver. The gate
was unbarred. A mans form, slender
and shadowy, squeezed in and seemed

what's happened?'
But woman's muffied scream was
the answer. With a spring like a cat
Loring threw himself on the intruder
and bore him down. In an instant Fol
som had barred the gate, and the wom-
an, moaning, fell upon her knees.
Mercy! Mercy." she cried. "It is
| all my fault. I sent for him."
'Take your hands off, damn you, OF

most man. I'm Capt. Newhall, of the
army"
You're a thief" answered Loring
through his set teeth. "Hand over the

The sound of hoofbeats at the from

sputter and scurry in the alley behind

No Truth in Story of Duel and Death

at Paris.

Paris, March additional de-
tails continue to come out concern
ing the nature of the false report
circulated by John Wilson Durant, Of
Albany, n. Y, that he had been killed

SOMETHING REALLY NEW.
But There Was Some thing Wrong
with the Conclusion of
the Story.

claimed the young author enthusiast

Something really new?" asked the
publisher, doubtfully, relates the Chi
cago Post.
"New!" cried the young author.
'Well, should say so. Listen! Mar
ried couple living happily, not a Cloud
in the matrimonial sky. Husband goes
on trip, fails to come back, search made,
nothing found, wife mourns, inconsol-
able and all that, time passes, every
body gives him up as dead, she goes
into mourning and comes out again,
grief dulled by time"
"Oh, that's odd" interrupted the
publisher That's 'Enoch Arden al
over again"
ooh, it is?" scornfully retorted the
young author. "Weu, that's all you
know about it. Finally she marries
again"
81 told you So" broke in the pub
Usher.
MAN comes back 25 years later"
went on the young author, ignoring
the interruption. ''Wife sees him and
cries: Alas, I have married again.
Man answers: so have T. Now there's
situation for you"
''Bigamy," commented the publisher.
''Huh 90
"Bigamy; double case of it. How
are you going. to get them out of that
scrape?"
"Confound it," calculated the young
author. II never did evolve the plot
of good story yet that some prosaic
old duffer didn't come along and
knock the tar out of it. I tell you,
genius isn't appreciated in this world"

Belong to Uncle Sam.

An investigate made by E. D.
Peake, of Jamestown, Grant county,
indicates that II townships lying be-
tween the Brule and Paint rivers in
northern Michigan, just over the
Wisconsin border, are United States
territory, and are neither Michigan nor
Wisconsin land. If this statement is
true, and the facts which have been
dug up by Mr.. Peake seem to indicate
that it is, it will have important eff
fects upon the property owners and
residents of that section.
