An Interesting Point.
Can q Citizen Purchase Whiskey
Exceeding 4 1-2 Gallons for
His Friends.



Beaufort, Oct. 24.-One of tho
State dispensary constables made
u ssizurs of three gallons of rye
whiskey here yesterday which, Is
cansing no end of comment and
will doubtless result in the return
OF the liquor to itrightful owners.
From what your correspondent
can learn of the matter it appears
that Henry Garrett, highly re-
spectacle colored citizen, went to
tho county dispensary ou Bay
street and purchased six gallons of
whiskey, for three of his friends,
who reside in the country.
Undor the law a citizen ls, it
seems, entitled to purchase four
and one-haif gallons at a time in
his own name, and the portion of
Iarrett's s purchase fer biz friends
was made by their request and in
their respective names.
This liquor was subsequently
loaded into a vehicle to be trans
ported to its destination and was
seized by constable as contra
band.
Owing to the absence of Chief
Constable Watson, who is in
charge Of the constable force on
duty here, mo- redress can be had
At present, and it Is the intention
OF City Magistrate L. G. White
TO communicate the facts in the
case directly to the governor in
the hope that he will take prompt
stepts to rectify the matter.

THE BALEFUL BYE.
A Story Of the Paris Commune.

A PROMINENT store in Paris was
~ that of Jean Guileau, baker, a
wiiower with one child. Hortense, just
II years Of age and very beautiful.
Jean wisely took no part in the COM
munistic orgies running riot on the
streets Immediately subsequent to the
Franco Prussian war; but. with plenty
of provisions in his cellar, he philosoph-
ically closed the doors and windows,
withdrew his sign of business and
smoked his pipe contentedly in the Sc
elusive companionship and filial loye Of
Hoitense.
One 80 pretty and piquant as she
could not be exempt from besieglng cf
lovers. The two most prominent of
these were her fathers graduating ap-
prentices, Henri Edouin and Giuseppe
dark Giuseppe and the balefnl eye
the latter was frequently appellated
by his intimates because of the treach-
erous glance in his hard, black orbs and
and lurking smile forever fixen about
his lips.
To Henri Hortense had long since
given her heart.
1t was quite late one night when
Henri departed from the EN- brace Of his
promised bride. As Hortense retreated
through the narrow doorway an unex-
pected form like an appar:tion from the
gloom, confronted her,
'Giusepper she cried.
vt is L. he replied calmly.
oh, you frightened me! Whence come
you so suddenly
From close beside, girl. All. thou
coquette. l have heard ALL
"A listener-you? Shamer
Tell me, is it true, indeed, / need
hope no more to win you:
YOU say you have heard all?'
Yes. am not deaf
And you have seen, too?'
Yves. am not blind
Much good may it do you, then. for
you are answered.
And with the sharp speech she slam
med the door in his face, angry at his
haying spied upon what was to her a sa.
cred interview.
For many nights after that her dreams
were haunted by the bsleful eyes Of dark
Giuseppe. and in her ears continually
rang the fearful imprecation she heard
him mutter, coupled with the name of
Henri Edouin.
The favored lover was greatly sur
prised few days later at receipt of a
communication from the Versailles gov.
ernment. It was delivered by an entire
stranger who whispered the six omiuous
words:
For your eyes only. Be discreet
The sealed billet contained this:
Last dispatches by balloon ac-
knowledged. Inclosed herewith an
order for 500 francs, payable when
France is redeemed from her enc

Paris. M, EDoUIN.

Henri should have destroyed the
mysterious scrawl instantly. Instead
he stood gazing at it in sheer amaze
ment. He had had nothing whatever
to do with the Versailles, though his
heart was honestly with those who strug-
gled SO nobly to save the country from
the doom of bloody anarchy.
The few moments stupefaction proved
his greatest misfortune.
There was peremptory tap at the
door.
Giuseppe entered grinning Internally
Behind him dressed three ruffians of
the national guard.
'Ah, M. Edcuin,' he said.
>Oh, is it you, Giuseppe )? replied
Henri.
Giuseppe advanced with snake-like
quickness and ere Henri could antici-
pete, snatched away the fateful paper.
Fourishing it aoft he cried:
Away with him; see what hold-a
paper that will have him sho. unless l
greatly mistakel And Giuseppe hissed
maliciously into his rivals ear: u am
now a trusted spy of the commune;your
death is certain. You will never wed
with Hortense Guileau.'
Unfortunate Henri was soon in prison
He fully realized his danger and it re-
quired but little reflection to convince
him Of the foul trick played by crafty
Giuseppe.
The days of his confinement went te'
diously by, while ever before him loom
ed the horrid prospect of a violent death
Then Giuseppe confronted his victim
and accompanying him-could it be re.
ality!,-was Hortense.
u bring to you gleam of sunlight,
M. Edouin said the dark browed vii
lain, with grinning sarcasm.
Henri sprang forward to embrace his
betrothed but Giuseppe interposed.
'Holdl did not bring her here for
q love scene. Give ear to me. Minutes
for Henri Edouin are valuable. Judg-
ment is to be given in your case within
the hour. You know what it will be
death. I come to offer you life
'YouT
And, pray, why not? I hold the
document that is to riddle you with bull
lets. Sav the word and | will destroy
it. I will retract my charge as stupid
blunder.'
What word shall | say:
>Henceforth you will work and fight
on the side ofthe commune. That will
gave you-if l choose. Giuseppe the
spy is quite another person than Giu-
seppe the bakers apprentice. Money
and influence both are mine now. Be
sides our prisons are cramming with
too many hostages. Exchanges are slow
and We need men. So. come, | have
your sworn word
>Neverl' burst from Henri's lips in
dlgnantly.
Throughout Hortense had remained
passive. Now she threw herself OH her
knees, with clasped hands before the
man she so dearly loved.
'Oh, yes, yesv she cried passionately.
For me-for your own precious life 7!
ANYTHING for your life ! Promise !
Swearl Here on my knees l beg you,
Henri.
Her voice was broken with wild Sob
bing, her eyes were brimming with
tears. The young mans head dropped
then raised desperately, while his eyes
flashed on the treacherous spy.
80 be it, villain Giuseppe; give my
sacred promise as you ask
