Nor was Griswold without his
nerve-wrenchings though as the vow
age grew older he began to take
heart Of grace. In the ordinary
course of things, Miss Farnham's let
ter should have reached New Orleans
in time to have procured his arrest
at Greeneville;< but when the Mis-
issippi town was passed, and many
others farther on, he began to fear
that she had recanted, and to bewail
his broken ideal.
He had no means of knowing that
her letter had lain on the clerks desk
until Cairo was reached, but such was
the pregnant fact, and to this over
sight Griswold owed his first sight of
the ST. Louis landing.
1t was at the landing, at the very
end of the long period of suspense.
that Charlotte saw the final act in
the drama.
The swing stage was poised in air
and two men dropped from it's out
ward end and dragged the mooring
line to ring in the levee pavement.
And then, while she looked, there was
a scuffle of four, darting away of
one of the jules men with a small
bundle and one of the attackers in
hot pursuit, followed Immediately by
the surrender of the other. The
great eye of the searchlight over her
head swung slowly shoreward, and
she saw the prisoners face and the
CLINT of metal when the officer hand
cuffed him.
Whereupon her eyes filled and she
saw no more. For, when all was said.
it was she and no other who had
clasped the manacles upon the wrists
of the man who was on his way to
punishment.

Some Fool Questions.

colored philosopher who runs the eIe-
vator in the post office, "but the worst
of it is that we think no one has any
but ourselves. My greatest trouble
is answering fool questions, and l get
good many of them in the course of
the day. Yesterday there was a hung
jury, and one of 'em asked me if we
had good beds for jurymen who were
kept over night! l told him l hadn't
seen any yet, and I'd been here for a
good while. To-day the weather bu-

elevator. 1t said Fair and that's all,
same as it often does. 1t hadn't been
there five minutes when a man from
up the state came in and asked me:
Where's this yer fair at?' told him
it was in the circuit courtroom if it
was anywhere. WALL says he. 4 can't

CHAPTER Y.

When Charlotte had made sure of
the pseudo deck hands identity in
the forenoon of the second day ont
she had thought the assurance un-
assailable and had conducted herself
accordingly. But when she awoke
late on the morning following the
brave rescue of the mate, assurance
had departed.
with the admission of the smallest
doubt, she could by no means 90 nm
with her plan of betrayal until the
doubt was removed; and, not know
ing what else to do, she went to the
captain to find out if possible all he
knew about the mates rescuer
The interview was most unsat,sf.c.
tory. She led up to the subject nv
telling the captain the story of the
rescue and so was privileged to ask a
lew questions about the rescuer. Did
the captain know him? And. above
all, did the captain know the dav and
hour when the man had Joined the
crew?
capt. Mayfield knew no more than
that the mans name was John Gavitt
ana that he had Joined some time dur.
ing the day of departure from New
Orleans. He was a sick tramp. work.
ing his way home to some small river
town in Iowa.
SO the doubt remained unsolved
after all. and her hands were tied nm
less it could be removed. She could
think of no other expedient, save an
interview with the man himself and
this she knew was impossible-in it's
bringing about and in any definite 70.
suit that could accrue. For If Che
could bring herself to question hin,
surely he would lie in his own behalf
And yet it was the Impossible
thing that happened. For that even
ing just at dusk. while she was stand
ing on the guard upon which her
stateroom window opened. she heard
step on the stair leading from the
deck above. A man descended SLOWLY
and when he came near enough She
recognized him. She let him 90 until
her opportunity was all but lost:

Everybody does not know that the
placing of mortgage on piece Of
property without the consent of the in
surance company that writes the policy,
invalidates the insurance. Alva Clinic
whose house was burned a few weeks
ago did not know this and the knowl-
edge has cost him good deal of trouble.
He was insured in two companies with
Frank Delay, Of Mystic, and after tax
ing out the insurance he placed mort.
gage on the property. The house
burned few weeks ago and this mort
gage was a bar to payment of the policy.
Frank Delay, the insurance agent, has
been doing all he could to induce the
companies to waive that clause and pay
the claim but with what result we can
not say at this writing. 1t is something
that everybody ought to know and in.
surance agents ought to impress that
clause upon their clients, that they
must not mortgage insured property
without the consent of the insurance
panies.-Centerville Iowegian.

fancy, leaving three sons and two
daughters, with their father to mourn
her loss. She has beeu an invalid for
nearly fourteen years, during which
time she was most patient sufferer,
rarely complaining though nearly al
ways in distress. During the present
winter she had seemed in more than
ordinary good health, but her frail con-
stitution was unable to endure the
added tax upon its strength which re-
suited from the attack which came so
suddenly and unexpectedly. The fun
eral services, which were largely attend
ed by friends from Leon and the
country surrounding her home, were
conducted by Rev. w. H. Ilsley. The
casket was nearly covered with flowers,
sent by very dear friends, among them
wreath contributed by the Women's
Relief Corps, of which she was mem.
Der. The funeral address was from the
text, "They feared when they entered
the cloud" Luke 9:34 Its purpose
was to reassure timid hearts who are
called to enter dark clouds of affliction,
by calling attention to the fact that
as the disciples were attended by their
Divine Master and his heavenly attend
ants, when they entered the cloud
which preceded the TRANSPORTATION, SO
we may rest assured of His presence
with us for grace and comfort in our
times of darkness. Very sweet and ap.
propriate music was rendered by mem
bers of the Presbyterian choir who went
out from town.
"Lead me gently home Father,
| Lead me gently home,
When life's tolls are ended,
And parting days have come,
Sin no more shall tempt me,
Meier from thee I'll roam,
If thou'lt only lead me Father,
Lead me gently home"
