Editors Of Marietta Journal
After leavings Atlanta on a Pull
man sleeper we arrived in Dallas
Texas, Sunday night and then
went out to Italy, Texas to visit
my brother, B F Born, getting to
his home II o'clock at night
They met us at the train and we
knew them at first sight. Mrs
Born had sumptuous supper
waiting for us. Monday morning
we were up with the wind and
went out to view the prairie
country. The wind nearly lifted
us from our feet, and we had to
hold on to anything we could to
stand up. Tuesday morning there
was a light rain, not enough to
run off the house. The farmers
are blue over the dry weather.
Cotton, corn, and garden truck
are dying for want of rain. The
wind is death to tender yegeta-
ton. Fall oats are heading low
and wheat in the same fix. The
land is rich and black. I am
just carried away with the large
fields of pretty corn, not quite
knee high to man. This wind
and mud and water. The idea of
having to take time to strain water
to cook with and to drink. 1t is
too fatiguing. There are no wells
and they haul water and pour it
into cisterns, and when it rains
they run the water from the
houses into the cisterns. How
we miss the good pure water of
Georgia.
My sister-in-law says she will
never get use to these terrible
winds.
Mr. John Born and brother went
from Italy to the reunion and
Miss Sadie Born and myself went
to Dallas Wednesday morning and
spent the day and such time
you could never imagine unless
you were there. 1t does seem
tol me that there were two hundred
thousand people there. More
than satisfied we returned to Italy
that night. Judge Born took in
the reunion and retured to Italy
that night. We met Weston
Goodwin and wife, from Wise,
county, also Calvin Orr from
Hill county, and Columbus Orr
from Clayton county, Ga. CAL
vim Orr and wife will make us
visit to B F Born's Sunday. We
will travel around for two weeks
yet then return home, Good old
Cobb county, Georgia, is my home
until l die. That sparkling water,
it makes me thirsty to think 1
have to drink rain water for three
weeks, The people here are big
hearted, greet strangers well
coined us and they holler for
Georgia on every train. We are
enjoying ourselves in the house for
the wind is still blowing at rap
id rate. Mrs. M. E. Born.

"As for the other man. 1 will go this
evening in order to make quite sure OF his
readiness for departure. He Is now re-
duced to terror unspeakable, and will. l
think, give us no trouble"
He assumed his disguise once more-it
turned out to be for the last time-and he
repaired to Great Hermitage street in or
der to take his sable friend on board ship
and to leave him there, in comparative
safety, until the sailing Of the vessel. 1t
was at nightfall, just after sunset, that he
arrived. He encountered the very thing
which he had held up before Mr.. Truxo as
a danger, without believing in 1t himself.
How it was done or by whom, he never
discovered. The sailors and the lightermen
would, one is sure, considering their own
lives, scorn the work of an informer and
would refuse with Indignation to take the
wages of infamy. But there were occa-
sional craftsmen who also used the house
and among craftsmen may sometimes be
found here and there one with an eye to
the reward rather than honor; to personal
gain. rather than the general welfare. 1t
must have been one OF those who betrayed
the heroic negro, hero Of SO many burglar
les. AS to the discovery of the fact. name
ly, that Mr.. Adolphus Truxo was one who
had escaped from the house Of bondage
and the plantations In Virginia, that had
certainly been revealed, confessed with
pride and proclaimed aloud, by the hero
of the adventure himself when In his cups.

formation laid at Bow street; claim of
the reward offered for such information:
and, very possibly. the things which Oliver
was enabled to witness that evening when
he arrived the spot.
First, he found a great crowd Of men
and women both, gathered together In the
street before the tavern. They were viO-
lently agitated: the women were all talk
ing together and all as loudly as they could
to be heard above the rest. Oliver
heard broken parts of the exclamatlons.
They say he has settled two at least; two
are dead: more than two six at least are
ly wounded. He is fighting them all to-
gethcr. He's lion. not man. They have
sent to the town for soldiers. Where Is
Doll? They say that Doll brought in the
consta bles She is with him: she is look
ing on; she has sold him; she is fighting
with him: hanging is not good enough for
her: she is standing up for her man. He
is upstairs III his bedroom. Doll keeps the
stairs with the poker. They are going to
starve him out. He will set fire to the
house: the landlord has run away. The
man will be hanged If they take him alive.

lords evidence. The man and his wife had
come to his house some days before. They
had money, and they took a room-the room
which the jury had seen. They paid for
the room and for the food and drink which
they ordered They were free with their
money. The man never told the landlord
what was his trade or anything about him
SELF For his own part, SO long as his Gus
toners paid their way and behaved quiet
and reasonable he asked no questions: the
company that used his house was most re-
spectacle; they found the man friendly and
pleasant. That was enough for him. When
the constables came to arrest him he was
down below, by himself, except for his
wife. He fought the whole posse, having
for weapon nothing but chair, which he
soon reduced to leg; being overpowered
by numbers, he escaped up the stairs and
| barricaded the door: he got out of the
window and was set upon by the con-
stables. Some one among them who had a
sword drew 1t and ran him through vital
part.
The head constable also gave evidence

everybody. The fight was terminated by a
prevented further mischief and the prob
able loss of life. Had he been arrested he
would have been hanged most certainly.
Runaway cases were never pardoned; a
man may have one chance, but not more"
The coroner summed up. The jury found
that the man had met with his death in the
course Of resistance to the law. and that 1t
was justifiable homicide. So all was over.
The jury went away. Oliver felt somewhat
sorry for the fate of the man. who was,
after all, in spite Of his daring and his
strength, a mere criminal, unworthy of
pity. He. too, came away. There was
nothing more to be done. The man was
| dead He had certainly left no papers be-

cause to fear her. She would make a liy-

men make a living?
He did not think 1t necessary to communi-

ship. That officer had lost his passenger.

STARVED TO DEATH.
Help That Came Too Late.

"The Carisbrooke Castle, arrived
in from the West Indies, reports
picking up raft with the body OF
an elderly man who had evidently
died of starvation. There was no
clue to the mans identity, nor any
marks to determine the origin OF the
raft
In those few lines another clueless
mystery Of old ocean was disposed
Of. There was nothing to marvel at
that man should die of starvation.
Had he lived it would have been a
real marvel indeed. Or had he died
OF starvation surrounded BY abund-
ant food, that would have been both
a marvel and mystery to the world
at large. For the world at large
does not know that a great many
elderly people die of starvation in

asked Oliver to tell me what is nearest to
his heart. He seems unable to reply. This
eloquent lawyer can move jury. but he
cannot move himself. VIII you help him 2!
The girl crimsoned, and then turned pale.
Madam" she stammered, and then, like
her lover, she remained silent.
II am a woman, Alice. Therefore, have
eyes to see. l am not like those foolish
men who see nothing and understand moth
ing. Do you believe that l have not OBJ
served certain lOokS-of the kind called

Ah Alice, for loyalty and love. where Is
thy equal if it be not thy lover? Tell me
honestly, what is nearest to his heart"
Then Oliver took the girls hand and
made answer.
Madam, let me answer for Alice. I
have ventured to love this maiden
''Why-there. There! Alice. do you
hear? He repeats what he told you in
the garden But 1 forbid you to repeat
what you said
Madam!
HE dares to say that he loves you.
Why, Alice, your lover has consigned your
father to debtors prison. Can you for
give him? He will be prisoner for life.
We shall not, to be sure, starve him-but
can you forgive him."
Madam. my father is-what you know.
Oliver could not commit an act that was
cruel or unjust, or anything but right and
honorable"
but consider, wilful girl. Oliver has his
name and fame to make. Would you
hamper him at the outset?"
MADAM, he has done me the honor to
say that he loves me- l will not hamper
him I will let him go free from any
promise 1t is enough that 1 have heard
him say once that he loves me-"
after ALL" said Isabel, laughing through
her tears, you are a pair of fools. You
think that you can live on words and
vows and poetry and promises and hopes.
It is like living on air instead OF mutton
chops Let me advise, let me provide.
Alice, my dear, take his hand Child, you
blush and tremble. See-men have no
shame-he takes your hand without a
thought of trembling. You will marry
him tomorrow morning or the day after.
when you choose. The sooner the better.
Alice, my dear, Oliver has become my
brother-you are my brother. Oliver, are
you not?"
MADAM, you say so."
Therefore, Alice, you VIII be my sister.
