Death was due to heart failure. Mrs.
Mrs. Grant had suffered for some years
from y%alvular disease Of the heart.

There was also present at the bed
side when the end came Miss Rose

other son. Gen. Fred Grant. is in Texas
and he will hasten here as soon as he
receives a message telling him Of his
mothers death.
The remains of Mrs. Grant will be
deposited in the tomb at Riverside
Park. New York. where those of her
husband now repose. Whether they

inaugurated as president and accom-
panied him on his journey around the
world. AS mistress of the White
house she gave literally to all the
charitable institutions Of the city.

IN NATURE OF COMPROMISE

boundary Dispute

boundary Dispute
A Kansas City, December ~, dis
patch says: The commission which
has been sitting at the Midland hotel
to, hear arguments in the Missouri-Ne-
braslsa boundary line case, adjourned
today after making a decision which
is in the nature of a compromise. The
point at Issue was the ownership OF
$4,000 acres OF valuable land at the
point where the two states meet.
The dispute was caused by the
changing Of the current of the Missouri
river. Formerly the river made a great
bend, and came around again, leaving
only a short neck of land. On July Z,
1866, the river broke across this neck
and since then the line has been in dis
pute.
The commission which was appoint
ed by the United States supreme court
found hat a line drawn through the
territory of the old river bed, equally
distant from each side represented the
main channel of the Missouri river
prior to 1866, and that all land lyine

longed to the state of Missouri, and al
land lying on the Nebraska side o.
said line belonged to that state. The
river shortened its course fourteen

CHAPTER VI.
At the Swords Point.

Ak the SWORDS potnt.
Neil's first emotion was not SO much
one of anger as Of exultation. II shall
have him at my swords point" he
kept saying to himself as he turned
from Hyde to Van Heemskirk's house.
Katherine sat upon the steps Of the
stoop. Touching her, to arouse her
attention. Neil said, Come with me
down the garden. my love"
She looked at him wonderingly, but
rose at his request and gave him her
hand.
Then the tender thoughts which had
lain so deep in his heart few to his
lips, and he wood her with a fervor
and nobility a astonishing to himself
as to Katherine. He reminded her OF
all the sweet intercourse Of their hap.
py lives, and of the fidelity with which
he had loved her. "Oh, my Katherine,
my sweet Katherine! Who is there
that al take you from me?"

mo, that | will not do. How false,
how wicked I would be, IL two lovers

Wei then, | will cut my bow from
Hyde's breast. | will. though l cut
his heart out with it,.
He turned from her as he said the
words. and, without speaking to Joris,
passed through the garden gate to his
own home.
In the calm of his own chamber,
through the silent. solemn hours,
when the world was shut out of his
life, Neil reviewed his position, but
he could find no honorable way out of
the predicament. He was quite sen.
sible hat his first words to Capt.
Hyde that night had been intended to
, provoke a quarrel, and he knew that
he would be expected to redeem them
the idea became familiar, 1t became
imperative: and at length it was with
a fierce satisfaction he opened his
desk and without hesitation wrote the
| decisive words:
