open. The dying man lay with arms
outstretched towards the window. In
his eyes was a look which may have
been that of madness, but to me 1t
seemed the light Of great and deep
Joy. The wind from of the river had
strengthened and blown the mist up
towards the house in great wreaths.
One OF these wreaths seemed to come In

of mist from the river. But 1t had van

was a look of supreme happiness, and
cursed him, though he was dead.
Although they kept me in the strong
est cell OF the madhouse, they have not
taken the locket from me. ] look at II

The picture within the locket is that
Of my dead wife-lost to me forever.

Training for Hunting Season.

Nimrod M6nchausen-Yes, sir; that
deer bagged yesterday was about the
most sprightly beast ever laid eyes on.
Why, the instant my bullet touched him,
and before it had time to penetrate his
hide, that beast was off like flash. I
never saw two such evenly matched
things in all my life as that deer and my
bullet. For over half mile on they flew
together, neither gaining on the other.
the bullet just managing to keep in
touch with the deer's skin. At the end
of mile, however, the pace began to
tell on the deer and he faltered a mo-
ment. That moment was fatal. The
bullet sped on, through-say, do you
know l really felt sorry when l saw
that poor deer keel over. He certainly
deserved his freedom II ever any beast
did. He'd have got 1t, too, II he'd only
been able to stick It out 20 yards fur

carries.--N. Y. Sun.

rejoining her In another world that pre-
vented me from going insane long ago.
"You have been very kind to me-"
went on the dying man. Our acquaint.
ance has only been a chance one, and
you do not even know my name. or
yours"
This was true. I had never seen the
man before he fell on the street just as
he was passing me. Something In his
face had attracted me, and l had taken
him home with me In cab instead OF
letting him be taken to the hospital.
The doctor had told me from the first
that there was no hope for him, and he
had been in my house but few days.
While thought of these things, he
continued: But those things matter
little when one is in the presence OF
death. Ilthank you for the kindness
you have shown me. and want to make
one more request of you. l want you
to see that this locket Is buried with
me-" l nodded assent, and then he be-
gan the story.
1.-THE woman whose picture is in this
locket Is my cousin. We were raised
together in the south, and l think
loved her all my life. never amounted
to much, for had inherited an appetite
for liquor, which had been the curse
of our family for generations. l did
make efforts to do something, for her
sake. But 1t was no use. Time after
time l made the struggle against the
appetite, and failed. Finally, while
was on long sea voyage, she married.
When l heard the news went almost
insane, and the letter which she sent
me, in which she told me that she had
married the man she did because OF her
fathers wish and that she loved me
still, only added to my grief.
81 went from bad to worse, but she
still kept track of me through our rela-
tives. A year ago she died, and while
she was on her death bed she sent me
this locket by ole of her old servants.
With the docket was letter which
said that she knew she was dying, and
she wanted first to tell me that she had
always loved me and would wait for
me. She had always been true to her
husband, who loved her very dearly,
but her love was mine, and in the next
world she would belong to me.
There was a sort of exultation to me
in the thought that she was dead and
out of the reach Of the man whom she
had married. / felt that in the spirit
she was mine. not his, and no longer
felt the rankings of the jealousy which
had made me hate her husband, whom
/ had never seen.
81 am going to see her in a few min
utes. My faith in this is firm. l shall
die before daybreak, and ] believe that
she will come for me. L"

came hastily into the room. The locket

that they are given the proper care.
Even though the girl in this instance

still kept track Of her.

Congressman Charles F. Scott has
been connected with the publication of
the lola Register for Fl years, and he
is yet young man. First he owned
a quarter interest, later a one-half in
terest and for several years has been
sole proprietor. In a recent issue Scott
gives a delightful resume of his q
years experience as editor and pub
Usher, in which is the following modest
reference: I'VE hope 1t will not be
deemed boastful to say that the Regis
ter of to-day is as much in advance OF
the Register of 1881, as the lola Of to-
day. is ahead of the lola Of 81 years
ago." And everyone will concur In
the verdict that the Register is the
equal of any newspaper in this state,
or any other state.

best individual bond ever givin

for $4,000. This bond shows the
confidence the people have in
Mr. Hite. We congratulate him
upon going into this important
office and feel confident that he
will prove worthy of the conf
dence reposed in him.
