Helen Harvey was to spend her va
cation at her aunt's cottage in She
boygan, where the wash of old Lake
Michigan should take the place in her
ears of the buzz of a department
store.
She was full of anticipation as she
sat in the northbound train. Two whole
weeks to be out of doors and free,
and Tom was coming up by Sun
day.
Dear old Tom. She thought of
Decoration Day, when he had told her
his dream of fitting up little fiat
and making a home for her, some
day.
She had given him no answer as
yet, but had promised to decide be-
fore Sunday.
He was her kind friend, but like
many other young girls she still
waited for the hero of her dreams,
and started out on her little outing
with all kinds of delightful possibili-
ties in her mind of meeting the un-
known.
Meanwhile Tom stood behind the
counter and measured off laces, and
ate cheap lunches that he might buy
box of Allegretti's for Sunday even
ing.
Helen tried to read but enjoyed
more looking out at the dense
woods through which they were
passing. Suddenly she was minded
to look at her purse and see
If har frIrn1y h.
hve-dollar bills which she had bought
for return fare and extra expense
were safe.
The check had slipped out of sight.
and in searching for it she held the
bills between her fingers.
The train turned sharp curve just
then, and a strong current of air
swept the car. Instantly the money
fluttered from her fingers and out of
the open window.
Passengers and trainmen were kind
and sympathetic, and the conductor
gave her stop over check at the next
station, that she might walk back and
look for the money and come on by
a later train.
She remembered that it was just at
the curve, and the conductor said it
was about two miles back, so she had
some hope of finding it.
But the tears would come as she
thought of the precious money, so
hard to earn and so hard to save, and
Of how she must write home for
more.
In spite Of her trouble she was in
fluenced by pure air and beauty of the
scene to stop to pick some wild roses
for her belt.
But as she neared the curve she
became absorbed in her search; so
absorbed, indeed, that she did not no.
tice gathering storm until it burst
upon her.
The only thing to do was to push
through the underbrush and seek
shelter in the dense woods. Among
the pines it was almost dry, and her
footsteps were noiseless on the carpet
of needles.
A little way in she stopped startled
for she had come upon habitation, a
shelter made of boughs against rock,
a smouldering fire, and standing be-
fore it all, looking more startled than
herself, a man, young, tall, fair, ath-
letic.
They regarded each other in silence,
but the girl felt no fear, for she knew
that she had met her hero.
The man spoke first, Are you a
wood nymph or from whence come
you?" She told her story, sure of
sympathy. TOO bad, indeed" he said
kindly, "but will you not accept my
rude hospitality? Please come be
Sylvia for my woodland bower"
And Helen, under the spell of tender
blue eyes, cast away prudence, and let
herself be made comfortable in the
leafy shelter, while her host busted
himself with replenishing the fire.

Aids to Phosooraphv.

One can scarcely keep track of the
inventions and devices for the ad-
vancement of photography, so rapidly
are they brought to our notice. The
latest is a liquid lens that by its use
instantaneous photographs may be
made by gaslight, and a one-minute
exposure will be sufficient for moon
light scene. A certain oil is intro
duced between the parts of rectili-
near lens, and thus the refraction is
greatly increased.

me l can take you almost to the vii
lage in my canoe; you are not
afraid?"
NO." hesitatingly. But she went,
sitting quietly in the boat, while he
stood in the stern and bent to the
oar.
Both felt the beauty of tie scene,
and with that greatest proof of per-
feet sympathy, were silent.
The boat grated sharply on the
sand. He sprang out, and helping her,
took her hand, holding it for a mo-
ment to his lips.
81 want to thank you, little girl"
he said, 'for trusting me as you have
to-day. 1t is good for a man to be
trusted. Think of me kindly some
times but speak to no one of me, and
as a pledge 1 ask for one of these"
He touched the roses in her belt.
With trembling fingers she gave
him one. Then, smiling sadly. he
pointed down the road to the station.
Goodbye" he said, land God keep
you"
Helen saw little of the road for her
tears, and it was through a mist that
she looked back, once, and saw him
standing, like a picture against the
blue of lake and sky, waving his cap
to her.
At Sheboygan her aunt met her and
chided her for being careless about
the money. In her heart Helen won
dered if she had lost or gained.
The summer days passed swiftly,
but when alone, she thought of her
hero, and SOM times of Tom, who
would have been quite wretched had
he known how he suffered by COM
parison, and how slender his chances
were becoming.
But on Sunday he came in holiday
attire, and drove up after dinner with.
as he said, the best single rig he
| could get at the livery to take Helen
driving. They drove to the falls along
the pretty lower road, each feeling
| the constraint of an important ques-
ton to be decided.
Tom, being more nervous, talked
more Funny thing at a little sta
ton down the road" he began. I'VE
stopped for water, and there was such
a crowd that l got out to see what
was up. They had just caught a
murderer, a man who killed his wife.
He was a fine big fellow, college
man, they said. 1t seems she was
much older than he and not his sort,
but anyway, he'd married her, and
she'd nagged him ever since, and fin
| ally she said something about his
mother, and he struck her,-she fell
against something, and died later
from the effects. Meanwhile he got
away. Last week the detectives got
trace of him here, but it's only the
last few days he's been seen poking
| about the bushes near the track, and
early yesterday morning he came into
town to post letter. They tracked
him into the woods, where he'd been
hiding, but he eluded them and put
! out into the lake in a canoe. A little
way out the boat struck a sunker
spar and sank He knew how to swim
but they think he was hurt by the
spar, for after few strokes he went
down. They brought him back into

When stars Are in the skies.

When stars are in the quiet skies.
Then most pine for thee;
Bend on me then thy tender eyes.
As stars look on the sea!
For thoughts. like waves that glide by
night.
Are stfilest when they shine:
Mine earthly love lies hushed in light
Beneath the heaven of thine.
There is an hour when angels keep
Familiar watch DER men,
When coarser souls are wrapped in
sleep
Sweet spirit, meet me then!
There is an hour which holy dreams
Through slumber fairest glide;
And in that mystic hour 1t seems
Thou shouldst be by my side.
My thoughts of thee too sacred are
For daylights common beam;
/ can but know thee as my star,
My angel and my dream;
When stars are in the quiet skies,
Then most 1 pine for thee:

DEMOCRATS GATHER TODAY
DEMOCRATS TO NAME A NEW EX
ECUTlVE COMMITTEE AT
THE CITY HALL.
Other Matters of Party interest to be
Transacted-Large Attendance
is Expected.

The general impression prevails
that there is to be sufficient interest
in the democratic mass meeting today
at noon to insure a large attendance.
This mass meeting is to be held per
suant to a call by f. Il. Twltty, chair
man Of the democratic executive com
mite of Glynn county, published in
The News on Sunday, and for the
purpose of selecting nominees for an
executive committee of the county
who are to be voted for at the pri-
mary on June Is.
The meeting is to be held at the
city hall and independent of those
who are to be present from this city
there will be a number of prominent
democrats f'pm other parts of
Glynn.
There are no factional fights to
command the attention of the meet
ing, but only a wholesome desire to
get the best men will account for the
interet to be apparent at this meet
ing. Chairman Twitty said last night
that ne was anx1ous to see a large
representative Of Glynn county dem
Ocrats present.

CITY COURT
ACQUITS WILSON
-
AN INTERESTING CASE TRIED IN
THE CITY COURT YEsTER-
DAY AFTERNOON.
Charles Wilson Succeeded in Get
ting an AcquittaI-Was Tried
On a Serious Charge.

The interesting trial Of Chas. Will
son, charged with larcency, and the
disposition of his case by a verdict
OF not guilty" were the features of
the city court yesterday,
Circumstances connected with this
case have made of it one of the most
interesting of its kind in the criminal
history of the county in some time.
Readers of The News will recall the
many and varied stories connected
with the brief career of the young man
who a jury exonerated and who was
released last night from an irksome
incarceration inthe Glynl e ounty
jail, covering a period of several
weeks.
The charges against young Wilon
were that he was sharp" and
confidence" man of the extreme
clever kind. 1t was charged that he
would enter a residence and aided in
schemes by wearing rubber bottom
shoes, would make almost the com
.plcte rounds OF the house without being
discovered. If discovered, it was al
legged, he would offer in explanation
for his intrusion That he was selling
wigs and toilet articles and that he
had entered the house after ringing
ana was in search for the occupants.
He was also charged in connection
with this of having stolen articles of
value, including iewelry.
But yesterday the charge entered
against him by the state solicitor and
upon which he was tried was that of
robbing DR. Gates drug store Of
siAty ocnts. Ihe chiet prosecuting
witness and the one upon whom the
state conducted its case was a small
boy by the name of George Cassidy
The boys testimony was altogether
against the white man, but, as he did
not see Wilson take the money, his
evidence counted for but little with
INC july anu II tpbk LHtll only lew
minutes to maxi up verdict o. not
guilty against the man.
The case attracted considerable at
attention and was stubbornly fought
Wilson was represented by Attorney
d. w. Krauss.
Two or three other cases of minor
Importance were opposed Of during
the afternon, of them being that of
the state VS.. Blond Gasway, who was
charged with entering the cemetery
and a.cali;.g doves ira Jiffereit
graves. The jury returned a verdict
Of guilty with a recommendation to
the mercy of the court. The judge i'm
posed a fine of $25.
The court will convene at the us
ual hour this morning and a num-
Der of cases will doubtless be dis
posed of during the day.

unanimous Consent.

When an agreement is reached in the
house by unanimous consent'-th that
is, without objection by any member
it is like an order or rule of the house.
The speaker enfOrces it as rigidly as
he does any other rule, no matter what
IL may do. In the senate these agree
ments are frequently made, especially
as to fixing a time to vote, and al
most universally they are adhered to
by everybody, even by those who were
not present when the agreement was
made. Once or twice these agreements
have been broken TO the extent of dis
cussion, but usually such discussion is
upon a point of order or a question of
privilege, which presiding officers hold
can be discussed. In fact, President
Pro TEN. Frye holds that an agreement
by unanimous consent" must be obey
ed by the senator's themselves and not
enforced by the presiding officer.

NEW RULES AS TO FLOOR OF

Washingto, May 5.-ThS bitter
feeling which was engesdered by the
debate on the Philippine tariff
bill still hovers Z around asd
on the Philippine tariff bill still hovers
about the senate. and, although at
times it may appear to be dissipated,
yet there will be outbreaks occasional
ly. AS long as the South Carolina SEN
atOrs are under the senate's displeasure
there will be echoes in the senate cham
ber of the circumstances which led up
to their alteration and the subsequent
order of the senate declaring them To
be in contempt. There are IA number
of measures to be considered yet which
will bring out party disagreements and
later the Philippine government hill
will cause d renewal Of the discussion
concerning those islands. AS the de-
bate grew warmer in the senate many
senators became intensely interested,
and in the last few days they did not
get an opportunity to say all they
wished. This was especially the case
the last day, when the senate operated
under the fifteen minute order. A mum
ber of Philippine speeches were bot
tied up" so to speak, for future occa.
sions. And so we may expect some
rather bitter party discussions during
the coming weeks
