fell in love with her at first sight, and
before a fortnight had passed their

There were a dozen others in the
party at the Cedars. and almost from
the first I learned from the butler that
Captain Carew, who was one of the
party. had paid Miss Montague mark

have been a match except for his pow

Sir Edward could hardly ho5ble about

4 days at a time when he could not leave
him with ill-cOncealed contempt.
In six months Captain Carew called
only three times and I had begun to
believe the old love affair dead. when

than once of an evening in a certain
summer house.

curiosity about it. Lady Kildare was q
widow Of fifty who still went much in
society, and she was reputed to be great

When she had driven away. my mas
ter called me in. He was walking up
and down the room with the gait of an
old man, and yet I saw at a glance that
he was seeking to get the stoop out Of.
his shoulders and the stiffness out OF
his knees.
"Tench." said he. as waited his

seventy-three years old You have no

Not within ten years, sir I promptly
replied, knowing what was expected OF
me.
Lady kildare says not within ff-

good judge of men. We can set it down

years old. and that there is no batter

Yes. sir: you may call yourself
about ffty-five. and you are fit for a
foot race any day in the week"
Ha, Tench, you are not as thick
headed as I took you to be. If it
wasn't that I'm Sir Edward, I'd run
you half mile for wager of SO.
Don't know but 1 Will anyhow"
He walked about with mincing steps
and threw out his arms and kicked out
his legs, and though I owed him re-
spect, / could hardly keep a smile from
my face. I knew that something had

know the particulars. and his next
words almost lifted my hair.

to swing his right foot over a chair and
almost falling down in the effort, I'm

We stood there like two men of stone.
Sir Edward was rigidly upright and
firm on his legs, and 7 believe I heard
the bea ting Of his heart as the lovers
slowly came forward. When they were
exactly opposite he stepped out and

the pistol on himself and sent a bullet
into his head. The bullet intended for
the captain missed him by a hairs

they called it temporary alteration Of

Set a Trap for Constables.

A villainous attempt was made by
one Decatur LIE Dane, near Nipetown,
Berkely county, to rid Martinsburg Of
it's constables. LIE Dane had rented
house for one month. At the expir-
alton of the month he refused to move
or pay rent A writ of possession was
issued by Justice Roberts to secure
possession of the house and given to
Constables Lemen and Fulk. LIE Dane
was notified on December 5 to remove
his goods and he refused. He was no.
tilted again to remove them by the
first of the year, or they would be re-
moved by law. During this time he
set gun trap for the constables. An
old army musbet was placed with the
muzzle toward the door knob, so that
anyone trying to force the door would
receive the full load of shot. He then
moved his family to Pennsylvania IN
known to the authorities.
Last Friday Constables Lemen and
Fulk proceeded to the house to dis
possess him. On arriving there they
found the house locked up. Instead
of forcing the door, as it was intended
they should, they forced a window at
the side of the house and found the in
fernal machine that had been set for
them. The gun was brought to town
and was found to contain four inches
of shot. Every effort is being made
to learn LIE Danes whereabouts. :.
