Nothing of all this escaped Henry's
quick eye, and as sundry unpaid bills
came looming up before his mind, he

for his neglect. Accordingly, when Ella

Meantime, William Bender, having

closer to his side, he said distinctly,
though hurriedly: II notice, Mary, that

All this time Mary had not spoken,
though the hand which William had tax
en- in his trembled like an imprisoned
bird; but when he came to speak of low

hand to her lips, eXclaiming, Its Jenny,

Prof. George D. Heron, leader of the
socialist crusade, and late clergyman of
the Congregational Church, took as his
wife last Saturday night the young wom-
an for whose love he had already aban-
doned the mother of his children. The
unique wedding of Prof. Heron to Miss
Carrie Rand took place in the apart
ments of DR.. Charles Is. Patterson, in
the Schuyler apartment house in New
York, in which establishment Prof. Her
ron has had rooms since he went to the
city early in the spring. -,
There were no plighted VOWS of faith
fulness, nor was there the customary be-
stowal Of the wedding ring in token OF
an indissoluble union. What meager cere-
mony there was attending the event was
performed by Rev. William L. Brown,
pastor Of the Plymouth Church of Roch-
ester, n. Y, who is in sympathy with
many of Prof. Herr0n's sOcialistic views,
and is a member of the socialistic broth
erhood.
Dr.. Patterson gave a dinner to the
party after the wedding. No presents
were given save of the simplest nature,
except the gift of Miss Rands mother.
This was a 35-acre farm near NIetuchen,

are to live, and upon which Mr.. Heron
and those interested in the socialist
brotherhood to which he belongs expect
to work during the coming summer.

! Of the many delightful birds [ had

me the greatest pleasure; for they be-

one that was as unusual as it was de-

Only at first did the owners object to
my intruding, and by various methods
did they try to coax me away from
their home. First one and then the
other would feign broken wings, and
half rolling, half scrambling, they
would make their way down the steep
hillside in the hope of Turing me away.
Then, finding that was not to be taken
in even by such an artful device, they
endeavored to accomplish their object
by scOlding at me. In less than two
hours they quieted down and simply
looked on in silence. The next time
l visited the nest they made no objec-

me, and realized that l meant no harm

cabling of this matter prevented).
A force of Liberals numbering at least
$50 attacked Moro Island commanding
the entrance to the port of Tumaco,
September "a. The island hal all along
been ganrisoned with fewer than hum
dred troops, well supplied with arms,
ammunition and commisary stores, in
GLIDING more than $50 head of cattle
and other provisions in proportion.
The landing was effected before day
break by means of canoes. Simultan-
eously the island was stormed from the
other end by Liberals on the mainland.
MORO Island is surrounded by shallow
sand banks and the only means of APP
preaching Tumaco is by the narrow
river which is within easy range of the
island.
The British Steamer Quito, bound
from Guayaquil, for Panama, and
touching at ports between, anchored off
Morrc Island on the night of September
26 and weighing anchor at daybreak,
started up the stream toward Tumaco.
The Liberals fired shot across her
bows.
Suspecting the situation, she imme-
diately turned; but rifle shots and one
cannon continued to be fired at her, the
