MACON, May 20.-Ex-Police Officer w
L. Grace is again on the streets. after
having been confined to his bed for about
a year. Last year the physicians told him
that he might prepare to die. as there was
no hope for him. He sent in his resigna-
ton as a policeman thinking it well not
to deprive a good man of the job. After
about eight months of suffering he found
that he was improving. and he is now as
we'll as he ever was in his life. He is
applying for another position on the po-
lice force, on which he worked for four

MAD PEOPLE
FROM FIRE E.
IN PANIC
LUNATlC ASYLUM IN NEW JER-
SEY IMPERILLED BY FLAMES
AND INMATES ARE PANIC
STRICKEN.

NEW YORK. May 20.-A fire at the New
Jersey State hospital for the insane at
Morris Plains has caused wild excitement
among the $500 patients. The guards were
only able to restrain them by the most
vigorous efforts.
When the fire was first discovered in the
laundry, the patients were hastily brought
together in the yard and surrounded by
a Gordon Of guards and attendants who
held them back when they made dash
for freedom.
AS soon as the flames were discovered,
most of the guards and attendants were
sent to the various wards to get the pa
tients out None of the violently insane
or criminals was in the threatened build
ing but the alarm Of fire caused even
those whose minds were but slightly un-
balanced to become frantic with terror
Nearly all the patients were in the dor
mitories, which made the task of getting
them out of the building much easier, as
they could be marshalled as at the regular
fire drill.
In some Of the wards farthest from
the fire few patients. who could be
trusted. were left. The others were
marched from the building. Although
they were greatly frightened a few sooth-
ing words from the guards pacifed them
and there was little trouble until all were
assembled in the yard. There they again
became panic stricken and many tried to
break through the thin line of guards. The
women became more frightened than the
men, and several times they led the dash
es for freedom. Had there been any con-
certed movemant the whole 1850 would
have escaped. Groups Of twenty or thirty
would make a sudden run toward the
guards and the latter would have hard
work in getting them back in the crowd
with the others. This would work the
others up to frenzy, and another group
would charge toward anotner part OF the
line only to be driven back,
Men and women useu their fists freely
and several of the guards were badly
bruised by the Struggling mob. As far as
could be learned. however. none escaped.
When the flames were extinguished the
patients were led back to their dormito-
ries, but for hours they could not be
uuieted. The financial loss was small.

CHAPTER XXXII.

When Griswold took his leave of
Miss Grierson, which he did as soon
as he could after Mr.. Galbraith's
coming, he did not go to DR.. Farm
hams. On the contrary, he went to
his room at Mrs. Holbrook's, and
spent the hour before dinner tramp
ing up and down With his hands be-
hind him and with n sharper trouble
than he had ever known gnawing
ruthlcssly at his peace of mind
All through the talk with Margery,
and up to the very instant of inter
ruption, he had made sure that her
thinly yelled hypothesis reyolyed
about one Edward Raymer. But at
the last moment, this conviction had
trembled upon its pedestal and tot
tered 10 its fall. lie thought he had
come To know Margery pretty we'll
we'll enough to be sure that she
would not misunderstood anything
that he might have said. But when
he tame 10 weigh those sayings of
his in the light of a possible miscon-
structinn he was moved to grind his
teeth In very manly agony OF
shame,
lie had neither weighed nor meas
ured them at the timc-being So sure
that lSiymer was the man; but in
that last little outburst of hers there
was room for most disquieting
doubt; and since "a man may he

stead of being bond between them.
WAS a bone of contention. Do you
follow me?"
Perfectly"
She was looking past him again,
and there was certain quality of
hardness in her voice that spoke of
unsuspected depths of bitterness.
Yet she went on steadily.
Suppose when this child grew up
she was compelled to choose be-
tween the mother who needed her
and the father who could crafty her
ambitions. Suppose, if you can, that
she made some sort of a compromise
with the little speck of conscience
she had and went with the father
who, if he was brutal, was also
strong"
She paused again; and he said:
:"Well?"
I'll am afraid 1 am boring YOU"
The eyes were downcast now.
"No, you are not. Go on"
"Well, let us say that after time,
this girl, who had some of her IA
theirs hardness and some of her
mothers weakness, came to see that
she had taken the winning side mere
ly because it was the winning side;
that she was helping her father to
become harder and more pitiless than
ever; that she was really helping him
toto ruin other people who couldn't
fight as well. Then you are to imag-
inc, if you find it possible, that her
speck of a conscience rose up in re-
bellion; that the father tried to bribe
her to be loyal, and that she took the
bribe and afterward went about de-
liberately to upset all his plans for
ruin-for getting the best of other
people. Don't you think such a
young woman would be an object of
contempt to any really good man?"
There was not any of the hardness
with which she had lowered him in
her description in the eyes that met
hers. In the room of it, there was
something she did not understand
at would depend somewhat upon
the man." he said, slowly; land much
more upon thing quite extrinsic to
all these conditions you have been
supposing for me-"
"Yes?" she said, and she could no
longer meet his gaze fairly.
"Yes. If the man, knowing all
these hard conditions, still loves you,
Margery-"
She interrupted him with a sudden,
fierce energy. "Oh, but he couldn't,
Mr.. Grisewold, indeed he Couldn't"
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1902-11-27

Her hand was on the low dividing
rail of the tete-a-tete, and he COW
cred it with his own.
THE man loves you with all his
heart, Margery, and will always love
you, no matter what you tell him
about yourself or your past"
"Oh, Kenneth!-may 1 call you Ken
neth?-If L could only be sure of
that"
you may be sure of it now and al
ways. But-but, Margery, dear, you
must cherish that speck of con-
science, for 1 happen to know that
this mythical man sets great store by
conscience-will be very unhappy if it
is lacking in the woman he loves"
She was standing before him now,
and her eyes were alight from with
in. But what she would have said is
not to be here written down. For
at that moment there was a heavy
step on the gravel and some one came
to interrupt. 1t was Andrew Gal
braith, calling with old-school pune
tilio to see if his hostess had suffered
in the accident on the lake.

deccntly buried out of sight and be-
yond the possibility of resurrec-
tion.
1t was during this ante-dinner in
terval of self-recrimination OF Girls
wold's part that two men met behind
a closed door in first-foor chamber
of the summer hotel on the Point.
One of them was Mr.. Andrew Gal
braith, but now returned from his
call on Miss Grierson. The other was
a shrewdfaced man, as yet in the
prime of life; man with a square
jaw and thin lips and ferretty eyes.
Mr.. Galbraith held cigar between
his fingers, but it had gone out. The
other was smoking Regalia, and its
subtle fragrance filled the room.
"You think you are sure of your
man this time, are you, Griffin?" said
the banker.
The detective blew a smoke-cloud
toward the ceiling and nodded slow
ly. There isn't shadow of doubt
about his identity, now"
"Then, pardon me, Mr.. Griffin, why
do you come to me. Why don't you
make your arrest and take the man
to New Orleans? I'll be there to APP
pear against him at the fall term of
court"
81 don't rightly know why 1 have
come to you" The detectives reply
was as hesitant as his nod had been.
"I've put the irons on some queer Gus
toners in my time, and don't know
as l ever hung back till now. But
this fellow"
'State your case," said the banker,
briefly. Il can't conceive of any
thing which would come between you
and your sworn duty"
That's it; that's just it. Neither
could l. But something has come be-
tween, this trip. First off, l got to
know the fellow pretty well before l
found out who he was, and-well, he
sort of captured me, as you might
say. He wasn't anybody's hold-up;
he was just a nice, square, clean-cut
gentleman, all open and above-board.
Pretty soon after that, he did me
considerable of a good turn-took
some trouble to do it. About that
JlIne L DeSdn W SuSpecI WHO lie WIS,
and not to be owing him when it
came to the handcuff act, l tried to
even up on that good turn of his.
That's where / fell down. Instead of
squaring the thing, | got in deeper,
and the cool-headed beggar saved my
life, out and out. Now that's my hot
box, Mr. Galbraith. What would you
do if the fellow saved your life?"
Andrew Galbraith answered off
hand, as a man will when the sup
position is only an hypothesis which
can by no means be transmitted into
facts personal.
I should do my duty, of course.
This would be an uncanny world to
live in, Mr. Griffin, if we let personal
considerations stand in the way of
plain duty"

into a road that brought him out
upon the lake front far from town,
these things all came up for hear
ing, and he gave them room patient
ly, as a judge hears a plea that he
knows well he must disregard. The
storm was over, and the sun was set
ting in all the glory Of the broken
the artists eye for natures grand
eur, and at another time the sunset
would have held him spellbound. But
now he plodded along with hands
behind him and his head down, seeing
nothing but the all too clear vista of
the past, and that other vista of the
future which had but now become a
valley of shadows.
So plodding along the lake drive,
he came at length to the boundaries
of Jasper Grierson's domain, and al
most before he knew it, he was climb
ing the path to Mereside. At the
very veranda steps he came alive to
some sense of what he was about to
do, and would have stopped to weigh
the consequences-to turn back, it
may be. But a trim little figure
slipped from a hammock at the cor
ner of the veranda and Margery came
to meet him.
I'm so glad" she said, standing
at the steps to give him both her
hands in welcome. 81 did so hope
you would come"

THE TEST OF TIME.

Mrs. Clara J. Sherbourne, Profess
sional Nurse of 257 Cumberland ST.,
Portland, Maine, says:-
81 heartily wish those who suffer
from some disturbed action of the
kidneys would try Doan's Kidney
Pills. They would, like me, be more
than surprised. My back annoyed
me for years. Physicians who dag
nosed my case said it arose from
my kidneys. When the grip was epi-
demic, l was worn out with constant
nursing, and when 1 contracted ii
myself it left me in a very serious
condition. 1 could not straighten
nor do the most trivial act without
being in torture. The kidneys were
too active or the secretions were too
copious, and / knew what was wrong,
but how to right it was n mystery.
1t seems odd for a professional
nurse, who has had a great deal of
experience with medicines, to read
advertisements about Doan's Kidney
Pills in the newspapers, and it may
appear more singular for me to go
to Ii. II. Hay & Sons drug store for
box. But 1 did, however; and had
anybody told me before that it was
possible to get relief as quickly as
did L would have been 10th to be-
lieve it. You can send anyone who
wishes more minute particulars
about my case to me- and | will be
only too glad to tell them personal
ly. AS long as I live 1 will be firm
advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills"
Cure Confirmed S Years Later.
Lapse of time has strengthened
my good opinion of Doan's Kidney
Pills, first expressed in the spring
of 1896. 1 said then that had any
body told me that it was possible
to get relief as quickly as 1 did
would have been 10th to believe it.
Years have passed and my continued
freedom from kidney complaint has
strengthened my opinion of Doan's
Kidney Pills and given me much
higher appreciation of their merits"

REM EN- BRANCE.

We think Of long-past moments.
The day we say good-by;
Tie tear We do not care to show
Comes stealing to the eye;
The voice that lulled us long ago
Is tremulous and sad;
The busy city far away
Has lost the charm ii had;
The peacock's 8 cry Is shrill. as though
Protesting, and her hands
Are pressed against her eyes, as we
Look back where mother stands.
With prayers to HIN above us,
We hurry on the way,
And leave the ones who love uE-
Too proud, alas, to stay!
We soon forget the heartache,
The tears soon cease to blind;
We soon forget to pray al night
For those we leave behind.
We hurry on to gain the height,
We strive for wealth and place.
And in our eagerness forget
The dear, pathetic face
But some ones hair keeps turning white,
And while we push ahead
A prayer God first heard long ago
For us each night Is said.
Though we forget they love us
And lose our old regret,
The God who reins above us
Knows that they ne'er forget.

NOT TO BE THRILLED WITH.
An Arab Wife Who Upheld Her Hon
or by Behending Her WORTH
less Husband.

The Times of India tells the follow
ing story to show the character of
the Arabs of Yemen, among whom
there had been some disturbances, says
London Telegraph. A man of Zaraniks,
who had several times cut the new tel
egraph lines, and who was punished
more than once, was caught on one
occasion by an Arab sheik in charge
of the lines. The sheik intended to
send him to Needy for Imprisonment,
but the wife of the accused came in
and stood as guarantee for his fu-
ture good behavior. The sheik ac-
cepted the bail and released him, but
shortly afterward he again resorted
to his old practice of cutting the wires,
and bolted away to another village,
at a distance of one days march, where
he had another wife. The sheik then
sent for his first wife who stood Sc
curity for him, and told her he would
disgrace her among the Arabs if she
failed to bring in her husband. The
woman asked the sheik not to "spread
the black sheet" Ca custom of the
country when anyone commits a
breach OF trust) until the following
day. She started that night, taking
n sharp dagger concealed under her
clothes, to the village where her hus-
band was staying. She found him
asleep in his abode, and stabbed him,
cut his throat, and carried his head
back to her home. The next morning
she went to the sheik and presented
the head of her husband, saying: Here
is your criminal, and l am freed from
the bail. Please do not aflix the black
sheet"
