Special to Charlotte Observer.
Kinston, Nov. 26.-Court ad-
journed here last night for the
term. Frank Davis was convict !,
ed of murder IN the first degree
and sentenced to be hanged Feby.
9th. Emmett Boyett, the wife
murderer, acquitted Sunday on the
grounds of insanity, was sentenced
TO confinement in the asylum for
the criminal insane, in Raleigh by
Judge Brown. His Honor acted
under the act of 1908, wherein
provision is made for the confine-
ment of murderers acquitted on the
plea of insanity, and which re-
qulres special act of the general
assembly to release one so com
mitted. Boyett's counsel argued
strongly for lunacy commission,
but Judge Brown held that mas
much as the jury that tried him
passed upon his sanity, the law in
the act of 1908 was plain. The
case has created great deal of
comment in the city, almost all
agreeing with Judge Browns po-
sition. Boyett was carried to Raj
eigh today.

Far away in the Northland where the ice and
and cutting winds have things all their own
way for most Of the year. lived little girl aud
her grandmother in a quaint cottage by the
rivers edge Up in the castle the hill hloomed
roses and lilies and all sorts of beautiful flowers
throughout the short summer that the Frost King
allowed them. but down by the river. where the
cottage stood, they had only the wild flowers
IN their little garden. and they late to come
and early TO 60 and but few and far between at
any time. Elose the little girl who lived In the
Quaint cottage by the rivers edge often longed
for a real garden she called it, garden full
of such beautiful blossoms sometimes peeped
over the high stone wall about the castle on the
hill.
IF only the fairies would come and bring me
Some of the fairyland flowers" sighed Eloise
cay All her little companions laughed when she
spoke SO. for they longer believed in the fairy
people, ard thought themselves very wise on that
account.
They laughed so loud and long that the little girl
from the castle who passing just then, stopped
for minute TO hear what was going As she
caught something OF what was said she looked long
and lovingly shy, brown haired Eloise. who
hung her head and twisted her checked apron
in confusion when she felt the great gray eyes
Of the little castle girl upon her That night
they gathered together-all these boys and girls
who had laughed at Eloise's idea of fairyland
fowers-and planned to play joke on the little
girl with the empty garden. After Eloise was
safely inside her cottage door for the night eating
her porridge and milk while her grandmother drank
her tea, they all crept over to the bare plot of
ground where last years flower stalks still stood
an6 empty flower pots piled. and tied rags on
the stakes and turned the pots upside down over
them. Then the next morning. when Eloise awoke
they all crowded about the cottage calling See
what the fairies have brought youi These are the
flowers that grow in fairyland.' Poor Eloise ran
back TO her grandmother with tears in her big blue
ewes and il was a long time before the old woman

Then the young prince, throwing of his gold

tightly, ran up TO Bucephalus and, laying hold

quietly been making up his mind that the
horse had been frightened by his own shadow,
