CHAPTER Z.
A BHEAKFAsr AT VERNON PLACE.


AS Fairfax approached the ~veranda,
Mr.. Vernon cane out OF the hall,
booted as if for O ride; at the same
time o servant led a horse around
from the rear OF the house. Father
and daughter both smiled at the sight
of the young man. and Mr.. Vernon
welcomed him with o hearty, loud
Good morning." his voice ringing
out pleasantly:
"Glad to see you, my boy-glad to
see you. Hope you slept we'll last
night. 1t was Il grand night for
sound. refreshing sleep!"
Fairfax lifted his hat and shook
hands with them both. For the sim
gle moment that his fingers closed
over those Of Mile. Pauline he looked
into her shy but friendly eyes and
forgot all that had passed during the
night.
''And hoy are they down at Vas
serr's?" continued Mr.. Vernon. els
my little neighbor well?"
He always spoke of Vasseur in The
diminutive.
The inquiry caused Fairfax to start
p~erceptibly. 1t was a rude transition
from the mood of the moment to q
thought of what had come to pass
during the night. At first he had no
words ready. Like an abashed boy,
he stood looking now at Mile. Pauline
and then ut her father. There was
little enough of shyness or hesitation
in his nature; but somehow the qIes.
tian threw him into confusion. Just
then tho subject called up was not
welcome to him; it would have been
so much pleasanter could he have
been left alone with Mile. Pauline to
forget that there ever was a Fasseur.
He hesitated but q moment. however,
seeing that his change Of countenance
had stirred up some sort of uneasiness
in the mind of Mr.. Vernon, who had
observed it.
"Vasseur was robbed last night"
he bluntly said, "and his house was
bGrnsd."
"Robbed! BurnedI" exclaimed
Mr.. Vernon, whose turn was was now
to be taken by surprise.
''What do you mean to say, Mr..
Fairfax"

Much That Every Woman
Desires to Know
About SanatiVe AntiseD.
tic Cleansing
And about the Care of the Skin,
Scalp, Hair and Hands.

Too much stress cannot be placed on
the great value Of Cutlcura Soap, Oint-
ment and Resolvent in the antiseptic
cleansing Of the mucous surfaces and OF
the blood and circulating fluids, thus
affording pure, sweet and economical
local and constitutional treatment for
weakening alterations, infammations,
itchings, irritations, relaxations, dls-
placements, pains and Irregularities
peculiar to females. Hence the Cuti-
cura remedies have a wonderful infu-
cnce In restoring health, strength and
beauty to weary women, who have
been prematurely aged and invaded
by these distressing ailments, as well as
such sympathetic Affections as an9mia,
chlorosis, hysteria, nervousness ana
debility.
Women from the very first have fully
appreciated the purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate Keller,
the certainty Of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy which have made the Cuticura
remedies the standard skin cures and
humour remedies of the civilized world.
Millions of the women use Cuticufa
Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment,
for preserving, purifying and beauti-
flying the skin, for cleansing the scalp
of crusts, scales and dandruff, and the
stopping Of falling hair, for ~softening,
whitening and soothing red, rough and
sore hands, for annoying irritations,
and Lucrative weaknesses, and for
many sanatiye, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves. as
well as for all the purposes Of the toilet,
bath and nursery.

saarers IN the dangers and the profits
CT a daring piece of piracy done III
the far East. In dividing the spoils,
Vasseur gladly accepted a large
quantity of jewels, some OF them the
personal property OF Rameau, in lieu
of their value in money, his passion
Tor precious stones controlling his
greed for goldi but a goodly pile Of
money fell to his share also, and he
abandoned the sea forthwith to settle
himself on a plantation in San
Domingo, whence, when disturbances
came, he fed to his present abode on
the beautiful bluffs OF the bay Of Saint
Louis.
Vasseur gave the details of his story
without reserve. de was boiling over
with indignation, and his passion
made him recklessly communicative;
indeed, he was almost crazed, and
seemed to find vent for his over
charge Of nervous excitement in lay
ing bare the innermost secrets OF his
past experience.
Under ordinary circumstances and
in a normal mood, Fairfax most PROB
ably would have refused to hear these
terrible confessions; and yet they were
of q kind of enthrall the Imagination
of a young man, himself passionately
fond of adventure; aud when he was
told that the daring aud viliainous act
just perpetrated by the riders from
Honey Island had been directed 10y
Pierre Rameau in person, he felt that,
no matter what had been Vasseur's
crimes, the little man was i%ustihable
in considering himself strociously be-
trayed and outraged by his former
partner in felony.
It was a revelation to Fairfax thus
to find himself the companion and
comrade in misfortune OF q whilom
pirate; but. strange as it may seem, he
did not recoil from the discovery.
Doubtless he recognized it as a neces-
sary part of the life around him; at all
events, he found a certain e1hilara-
ton possessing him, and as he walked
up to the Vernon place that same
morning he could not cast OF a sense
of the linkwhich connected hun with
some great chain ofpicturesIue events
past, present and to come.
When he neared the house he heard
the noisy mocking-birds in the oaks
and magnolias, and the first person
he saw was Mile. Pauline Vernon
standing, tall, bright and beautiful,
on the veranda under the vines.
Something in her form and face sent a
tender thrill through him, and il a
moment he was strangely happy.
Youth casts out the evil spirit of mis-.
fortune so easily in the worse case;
and, after all, what had happened to
Fairfax was no more than a stimulat-
ing bit of experience in the rougher
current of the wild life into which he
had voluntarily thrown himself. He
had seen Pierre Ramesu in one OF his
most picturesque attitudes, and the
apparition was of itself worth all that
he had paid for itin submitting to the
gag and to imminent danger Of being
roasted alive. The artist within him
was c~omplacently happy over the
whole affair. In truth, he could not
have denied that the robbers face had
it's fascination. Some day he would
paint it from memory, or mayhap he
might yet see those strange, terrible,
magnetic eyes again.

NOT GUILTY THE
JURY'S VERDICT.

man Trial.
FULLY EXPECTED.
Politics Prevailed i'm Ey-
cry Feature.
Generally Thought That Acquittal
FULLY EXPECTED.
Generally Thought That Acquittal
was Certainty rs Soon as the
Jury was Drawn.

AT LAP p. Nj. last Wednesday the
jury in the trial Of j. I'll. Tillman re-
tired and at 1870 A. NJ, the following
day, after being out all night, brought
in a verdict of not guilty.
The verdict was fully expected, al
though on Wednesday night some ex-
pectel u mistrial.
Tilman was not really tried for mur.
der. The defence practically aband
oned its theory of self-dence. Out OF
seven hours of speeches by Tillman's
couns only forty five to fifty minutes
was g'v-u to discussing tho self-de-
fence testimony. About one hour was
devoted to attacking the dying decla-
ration evidence of the State and FIVE
hours we o consume, in political
speech $, pure and simple. Mr.. Con
zales was really the man tried and on
the charge of opposing the two Till
mans.
Judge Gary was fair and impartial
in his rulings rs far as one could sac
but he totally failed to keep lawyers
for the defence within bounds. Against
his protests they succeeded in making
all manner OF appeals to the jury that
were illegal and had nothing to do
with the case. The trial was political
wholly and was driven into that chan
eel, as far as one could Judge by Messrs
Croft and Nelson, lawyers for the de-
defence.
The public should understand that
the real defence interposed for Tillman
was that he had q right to kill Mr..
Gonzales on account of the editorials
written by Mr.. Gonzales; even though
the shot was fired five months after
they were published and the man shot
was not looking at the time. The jury
evidently took the position that a man
may shoot an editor who attacks him,
whether or not the man be candidate
for Office and whether or not the edi-
torials be true. In other words the
Democratic editors who 80 years ago,
attacked Scott and Moses had no right
10 do so and Scott or Moses wonld
have been justified in shooting them
down.
Elsewhere appear articles in regard
to the trial written by the editor of
this paper for the Columbia State.
