IT was evident that she did not love
him, and yet il was announced that
she was to marry him. l was only a
guest in the house, but the affair
troubled me and I sought long and
earnestly for an explanation of it.
So far as ] could Judge Mary had a
distinct aversion 20 Ralph Weston,
rather than an affection for him, but
nevertheless he seemed to dominate
her life. She feared him, but for some
reason chose to keep secret the cause
of that fear. / could see her almost
shrink from him when he called, but
she dared not refuse To see him or
break the engagement which her
father had sanctioned.
What was the secret Of his power
asked myself. Why did she not go TO
her father-easy-going, blind old
Mark Tottenham-and tell him she
could not marry this man? 1 could
see no reason why she should sacri-
flee herself. Her father was wealthy
and Weston was not. Surely the lat.
ter had no hold upon the old gentle
man that made such a marriage inn
perative. On the contrary, my OBJ
servation led me TO Believe that Mr.
Tottenham thought he was acting for
the best interests of his daughter.
He liked Weston-who could be ex-
tremely affable and entertaining when

and prepare it for market.
He was filled with his ambition to
emulate his father. and energetically
lassooed his little brother. When the
moose frightened about his neck the
little chap trudged submissively along
behind his captor until the slaughter
house was reached.
Then the elder brother took small
iron bar and dealt his captive a blow
that knocked him senseless. Then he
fastened the rope around his ankles
and hoisted him up by means of a
windlass. \ few moments later he APP
peared in the kitchen where his moth
er was at work.
'Gimme the knife he said. "cause
the cow is killed, and I'm goin' to skin
i'm"
The mother accompanied the boy to
the slaughter house to see what he
meant, and was Mortified when he
showed her, with much satisfaction,
what he called the COW.
She lowered the little boy TO the
floor apparently lifeless She worked
over him two hours assisted by ply
stefan, and at the expiration of that
time consciousness returned. The boys

Strange English Funeral.

An unusual sight was witnessed at a
funeral at Horsell, England, the body
being drawn to the churchyard in a
four-wheeled farm wagon painted
red and blue, and attached to which
were . couple of farm horses. The
funeral was that of Richard BretteII.
solicitor, of Chertsey, and it was his
last request that he should be con-
veyed in this manner to the grave.
The journey from Chertsey to Hor-
sell occupied two and half hours,
and six farm laborers walked by the
wagon the whole distance, in addi-
ton to which they bore the coffin
from the vehicle into the church.

night, Conductor Hubbard hung the
line from the rear end of the caboose
keeping the chicken few inches
above the track.
When the train was rounding a
sharp curve the wildcat suddenly
sprang from behind a pile of railroad
ties and seized the chicken. Hubbard
gave hard, quick pull, and In a mo-

was upon the platform. After severe

days past had been confined in cage
in c. w. Mprrison's saloon window.
The wager was accepted and side bets
aggregating $1,000 were made.
The novel contest of the game chick
en- against the birds Of prey was wit
messed by the mayor and crowd ag-
gregating 200 people. The hawks were
the largest ever captured in this Sec
ton. measuring more than four feet
from tip TO tip of their wings, and it
was the general expectation that short
work would be made of the chicken.
The first fight was short and vicious.
Both birds rushed at each other. The
hawk caught the rooster by the throat,
but before he could rend the game
chicken the latter prodded him to
death with the steel gait with which he
was armed. When the first hawk was
dead the second one was Immediately
thrown into the cage. The second fight
was a longer and harder one, but it
also ended in the hawk being killed
by the gait being thrust through its
neck.

clothes and gathered the loose articles
of their wardrobe into a valise, while
her husband carefully adjusted his
cravat and brushed his coat. Then he
scolded his wife for not noticing the
tooth brushes. These, together with
his shaving pad, ne packed away in a
bag, and, taking it in one hand. with
the other he led his wife down the
staircase into the street, where they
were greeted by the cheers OF the
crowd.

Yet Mary shuddered a little when

him to Lancaster Jail where he passed
the remainder of the night.
In custody he was taken back to

subject.
The visitors were given an early
morning ride to the spring yesterday
and shown the source of Lancaster's
water supply. They were delighted
with the city in general, it's progress
sive spirit and up-to-date methods
and spoke highly of it's appearance.
The idea they entertained of install

water supply was entirely blotted out
by viewing the output of our Klon-
dixie spring and they will recommend
a system similar to that here.
