the magistrate at the Marylebone po-

a weIl-dressed young woman, who
stated that she had lost her husband
the previous evening in Leicester

ever, to conquer fate, and on one of
the guests, a Mr.. Keller, whom she
had met for the first time, expressing
warm admiration for her charms,
agreed to marry him forthwith. So a
clergyman was procured, and the cere-
mony was performed within three
hours after she had first encountered
her husband.
On the morning of the day fixed for
his wedding a young Manchester
tradesman received telegram an
nouncing that his prospective bride
was too i'll to permit of the ceremony
being celebrated. and requesting him
to apprise the clergyman and invited

The old Vermont schoOlhouse, stu
ated SIX miles east Of KokomO. Ind, on
the north bluff of "Wild Cat" was the
principal seat of learning in Howard
township, Howard county, for a half
century, and deserves more than a
passing notice on account of the young
men of prominence who have gone out
into the world from its walls. Among
these are included Prof. Elmer B. BTy-
an, now supervisor of the normal de-
partment of the educational work in
the Philippines, with headquarters in
the city of Manila; Prof. John Miller,

a fear-inspriing flight through the
air in the clasp of his strong hands.
One night as he swung head down
wards from the trapeze with the fair
one in his grasp, it dawned upon him
that he was in love. In brief but i'm
passioned speech he communicated his
feelings; the lady smiled. He pro-
posed; she murmured: "Yes." Next
day they were married.

He went in a boat, and while the coolies
were bringing up his traps wen. up to
the bungalow. He was sitting in a big
chair on the veranGa, talking to Saw
age, when he felt something drop from
the leaf roof onto his shoulder. Leis-
urely he started to rise to see what
had fallen, when the other man cried
out: For Gods sake, don't move

what that meant. Stealthily the old
man took a Burmese dab (swOrd)
from the wall, and, cat-Gke, crept to-
ward the white man with the thing
on his shoulder Within striking dis
tance, he paused, and raised the dah
high in the air to cut the thing in two
with one swift, downward stroke.
Then his nerve, ratified and tugged at
for 90 years until it was weak, failed
him, and the sword clatteTed from his
numbed fingers to the floor. MY
God! l can't do it," he whined, in
broken voice, and reeled back against
the wall, where he stood staring with
weak ewes at the sahib and his burden.
Dunlop neither moved nor spoke;
his only safety lay in keeping perfectly
stiIl-motionless. 1t might be min
utes, or a thousand years; they would
have to wait till the boatmen came.
What would happen then he could not
say. He could feel the clinging, pull
ing thing on his right shoulder. There
was an undulating pressure that told
him the head of the snake was sway
ing back and forth just above his neck.
Then the song of the Madrassi boat
men as they came swinging along with
his luggage broke upon his ear. Those

A Terrible Accident!
Little Frank Laughlin Burned
TO Death at the Home OF Ills
Grandfather, Near
Lone Elm.
Tuesdays Evening News.

Tuesdays Evening News.
A distressing accident occuled yes
terday afternoon when little Frank
Laughlin met his death by burning
at the home of his grandfather, Hull
Laughlin, about two miles east OF
Lone Elm. The little boy, who was
a little more than two years OF age,
had been placed by his mother in an
upstairs room to play, bed being
spread for him on the floor, where he
could lie down and sleep as soon as
he was tired of play. This was
about 1:3O o'clock in the afternoon.
Before leaving the room, the mother
made careful search for matches and
could fine none. Tbs little fellow
was hard PLAYING about the room
for some time, and at last he grew
quiet 1t was thought that he had
gone to sleep, as he usually did at
that time of day, and no uneasiness
was felt on his account. Alter a
time, his mother went upstairs to
omen the door so that the room would
be cooler. When she entered the
room, the baby was not in sight, but
| little search revealed the poor lite
fellow lying on his face behind q
door and burned almost to a crisp
ONLY small shred OF his clothing
remained. How it happened no one
can tell. The baby was very fond
of playing with matches, and must
have found one some place, though
the mother made careful search
for them. As no cutlery was made,
it is thought that the baby must
have bene suffocated by the flames
and smoke. AS soon as the child's
condition was discovered, help was
summoned, hut nothing could OF
course be done. Mr.. and Mrs. s. C..
Axtel, the parents of Mrs. Laughlin.
were notified, and Mr.. Axtel went
out last night and brought his
daughter and the body of his little
grandchild home with him. For the
accident, absolutely no blame attach
es to anyone. 1t was simply one Of
those terrible occurrences which no
one could forsee.
We wish that we could say some
word that would comfort the par
ents and grandparents.
The father, who is at Columbus,
Ohio, has been notified by telegraph
of the accident, and it is expected
that he will.arfive in Garnet tonight.
when arrangements for the funeral
will be perfected. The baby's terri.
ible death has cast gloom over the
community, where the mother grew
to womanhood and the father and
grandparents are well known and
