TWO CASES TO TEST THE
 ALABAMA CONSTITUTION

The case of Rogers is a prosecution for murder in which the defendant moved to quash the indictment and the panel of petit jurors on the ground that qualified members of his race had been excluded from the jury on account of their race and color, and that the jury panels were made up from the list of qualified eec- tors, and that his race had been excluded from that list by reason of the suffrage provisions of the new constitution of Alabama, which, by their operation, ex- cluded practically all negroes from be- ing electors for no other reason than their race, and color, while all white men possessing the same qualifications, ex- cept color, were admitted and qualified.
 The board of registrars of Montgom- cry county resist the motion to consoli- date on the ground of want of similarity of the two cases.

 While the events of today have pro- voked inevitable uneasiness the feeling in financial circles at the close of busi- ness was one of confidence that there will be no more failure in this city, and that after a brief period of unrest, business will settle down to it's accustomed chan nels of security.

STRIKERS MUST NOT
 INQUEST NEW MEN
JUDGE TRlEBER OF u. 6. COURT ISSUES INJUNCTION AGAINST MEMBERS OF EMBELLISHMENTS UNION FROM INTERFERING.

Little Rock, Ark October 19-Judge Jacob Trieber of the United States cir cult court this afternoon granted an or- der temporarily restraining members Of the local branch of the Brotherhood of Railway Expressmen from interfering in any manner with new employees of the Pacific Express company. The application for permanent injunction was set for a hearing October 31. In the company's com plaint 1t is alleged that it is unable to fill the places of the employees who struck, because of interference on the part of the strikers and their sympathizers.
 It is further averred in the complaint that two of the company's new messen- gers were forcibly elected from cars at Wynne, Ark, on October r, and were forcibly prevented from resuming their runs.
 A similar injunction has been granted the express company at Texarkana. The situation there is somewhat improved, the places of strikers being almost all filled.

Find Ancient Scotch Bridge.

Laborers engaged in digging
trench for the new drain along the
White Sands recently disclosed an
arch. pier and buttress of the Old
Bridge, which tradition says was first
erected at Deverogilla, though in 1920
it was reconstructed after having been
wrecked by the food. At a much later
period. when the New Bridge was built
and Buccleuch street opened up
through the Castle Gardens, and the
level of the old Sand Beds raised over
which the river used to spread, some
of the arches of the Old Bridge at the
Dumfries end were buried by the road
being brought over them. 1t is one of
these, the one next to the bridge as it
is now seen, that was disclosed. 1t is
in good preservation, except that the
crown of the arch, which is only about
a foot and a half below the level of
the pavement, has been broken
through. At nine feet down in the cut
ting for the drain the gravel of the
old bed of the river was turned up

Stop Slaughter of Elephants.

The British government is taking
steps to stop the indiscriminate
slaughter of elephants in its African
possessions. Many thousands are
killed every year for the sake of their
ivory. The governors of the various
colonies have been directed to pro-
hibit by every means in their power
the killing of the huge animals, as it
is feared that unless prompt meas
ures are taken elephants in Africa
will soon become very scarce.

did you not tell me? Why did you
not tell mel" turning fiercely upon
Mrs. Allen in the darkness, in sudden
distrust of her, her subtle words re-
! turning to him, losing half their mean
ing.
Mrs Green took the girls hand in
hers, and her voice was tender as a
mothers when she spoke.
Loire" she said softly. She liked
the tender name. "Lorie, my dear"
Dolores interrupted her.
Il must go to my father" she re-
| peated, in the same set voice, her eyes
not moving from Mrs. Green's face.
How can | go?"
You cannot 60 Mrs. Green said,
gently, dear; not Just now; there is
no way to so until midnight, then
the train will be due here, and Charlie
and Mrs Allen will take you there"
Il must go to my father" she said,
"at once. Tell me how to get there,
please"
There is no way but the train at
midnight" he replied.
But | must go now she said,
gravely; IF there is any way. Could

were possible, believe me-Dolores.
1t was the old voice and the old tone
of uttering the sad name. She gave
no sign that she heard, but she heard
She said nothing as she turned from
him, and went out of the room like one
in dream-went out of the room and
up the stairs to her room, but the tone
and the one low word followed her,
like a note of tenderness, through her
stony sorrow. And when she had gone
young Green turned to his mother, like
a boy, in his sore distress, and she,
understanding comforted him.
Then he left the room and Dora
went up after Dolores, and the time
dragged on leaden feet ere the time
came for them to go to the train, when
Dolores came down the wide staircase
like a spirit in her trailing black dress
and bonnet, her face more pallid than
the light of the moon on the noun
tains. Dora was behind her, but she
seemed to notice no one, but passed
out on to the steps of the piazza where
young Green and Mrs. Allen were
waiting for her, as though she were
moving machinery and not through
any wish of her own.
Such an unheard of thing. going
off like this in the dead of night" Mrs
Allen said, sharply, showing her heart

CHAPTER XXI.
Even in Death.

AS tHey were WulllSu diOuS tuiOuSii
the night and the darkness young
Green's mind was full of the one
thought he must tell Dolores about
the trial in court that afternoon, be-
fore they reached the station, and
away from Mrs. Aliens hearing.
Miss Johnson-Dolores," he said,
presently. Her head was leaning
against the back of the seat and her
eyes were closed, but he was pretty
certain she was not asleep. Dolores,
you remember the tanning of my mare
just after | first met you, and the Iex-
element and indignation among us
because of it, and our inability to
catch the fellow, though suspicion
pointed strongly in one direction?"
She reused with sinking at heart
when the young man spoke; she shook
off every other thought and sat wait
ing for what might be coming upon
her.
Dolores" he said, and he tried to
keep his voice steady, for her sake as
well as his own; I'VE have been fol-
lowing up every clew, letting nothing
slip us in this matter, as doubtless you
have heard, no matter how trivial it
might appear. Just before the deed
was committed Hal and l disturbed
two fellows in the act of stealing the
mare. 1t was dark night, and they
had her out of the stable, her hoofs
bound to deaden the sound, but she
would whinny in her excitement and
terror of the rough men, and that
saved her. We were late home that
evening from the house of a friend,
and hearing Bess we went at once to
the stables. One of the fellows we
caught, but the other made good his
escape
I'VE tried our best to get the fellow
we had to tell where his comrade
was" the young man continued, his
voice steady now and natural; but he
was silent as the grave; | give him
credit for that. There is an honor
among even these rough, lower men
that one must respect. Then we wait
ed for your father, as you know, de-
pending considerably upon his evil
dence, for he knew the condition of
the mares hoofs when he shod her,
and that there was nothing wrong
then save slight lameness from going
too long without shoes over the rough
road. But even without his evidence
we have succeeded even better than
had dared hope"
Dolores did not move. She did not
quite understand this that he was tell
ing her. How could they succeed with
out her father, and how could they get
the guilty man
1T was only yesterday" Green went
on, and there was touch of pleasure
in his voice that Dolores caught with
a dull sense of dead pain. 1T was only
yesterday that we caught the fellow,
but we have him safe and sure enough
now"
Surely they had not-Dolores caught
her breath, and her swift, terrified
eyes flashed upon his startlingly. His
own eyes darkened as though with
troubled thought.
THE men we sent out in search Of
him found him yesterday, Dolores, not
a stones throw from where your
father fell on the opposite mountain.
The first fellow we have sentenced to
five years for attempted horse steal
ing, and the other has had his trial
to-day. 1t was sharp and swift, | as
sure you Such a dastardly deed de-
served the severest penalty the Law
allows"
