drunken men at Hollow Rock last
Sunday than he ever saw in Cam

and rowdyism occurred through
out the day, and craps and other

NOT TO BE THRILLED WITH.
An Arab Wife Who Uphei Her Hon
or by Beheading Her Uorth-n
less Husband.

Tho Times of India tells the follow.
ing story to show the character Of
the Arabs of Yemen, among whom
there had been some disturbances, says
London Telegraph. A man Of Zaraniks,
who had several times cut the new tel
egraph lines, and who was punished
more than once, was caught on one
occasion by an Arab sheik in charge
of the lines The Sheik intended to
send him to Needy for imprisonment,
but the wife of the accused came in
and stood as a guarantee for his fu-
ture good behavior. The sheik ac-
shortly afterward he again resorted
to his old practice of cutting the wires,
and bolted away to another village,
at distance of one days march, where
he had another wife. The sheik then
sent for his first wife who stood Sc
curity for him, and told her he would
disgrace her among the Arabs if she
failed to bring in her husband. The
woman asked the sheik not to spread
the black sheet" Ca custom of the
country when anyone commits a
breach of trust) until the following
day. She started that night, taking
a sharp dagger concealed under her
clothes, to the village where her hus
band was staying. She found him
asleep in his abode, and stabbed him,
cut his throat, and carried his head
back to her home. The next morning
she went to the 'sheik and presented
the head Of her husband saying: Here
is your criminal, and | am freed from
the bail. Please do not affix the black
sheet"

stead of being a bond between them,
was bone of contention. Do you
follow me?"
''Perfectly.''
She was looking past him again,
and there was certain quality of
hardness in her voice that spoke of
unsupported depths of bitterness.
Yet she went on steadily.
Suppose when this child grew up
she was compelled to choose be-
tween the mother who needed her
and the father who could crafty her
ambitions. Suppose, if you can, that
she made some sort Of a compromise
with the little speck of conscience
she had and went with the father
who, if he was brutal, was also
strong
She paused again; and he said:
"WeH?"
II am afraid I am boring you
The eyes were downcast NOW.
mo, you are not. Go on
''Well, let us say that after time,
this girl, who had some of her IA
theirs hardness and some of her
mothers weakness, came to see that
she had taken the winning side mere
ly because it was the winning side;
that she was helping her father to
become harder and more pitiless than
ever; that she was really helping hin,
TOTO ruin other people who couldn't
fight as well. Then you are to mag
inc, if you find 1t possible, that her
speck of a conscience rose up in re-
belliOn; that the father tried to bride
her to be loyal, and that she took the
bride and afterward went about de-
iberately to upset all his plans for
ruin-for getting the best of other
people. Don't you think such a
young woman would be an object of
contempt to any really good man?"
There was not any of the hardness
| with which she had lowered him in
| her description in the eyes that met
hers. In the room of it, there was
something she did not understand.
1T would depend somewhat upon
the man." he said, slowly; land much
more upon thing quite eXtrinsic to
all these conditions you have been
supposing for me-"
"Yes?" she said, and she could 10
longer meet his gaze fairly.
yes. If the man, knowing all
these hard conditions, still loves you,
Margery-"
She interrupted him with a sudden,
fierce energy. ooh, but he couldn't,
| Mr.. Grisewold, indeed he couldn't!"
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1903-01-31

Her hand was on the low dividing
rail of the tete-a-tete, and he coy
cred it with his own.
THE man loves you with all his
heart, Margery, and will always love
you, no matter what you tell him
about yourself or your past
ooh, Kenneth!-mayI call you Ken
meth ?-If l could only be sure of
that"
''You may be sure of it now and al
ways. But-but, Margery, dear, you
must cherish that speck of con-
science, for [ happen to know that
this mythical man sets great store by
conscience-willb be very unhappy if it
is lacking in the woman he loves"
She was standing before him now,
and her eyes were alight from with
in. But what she would have said is
not to be here written down. For
at that moment there was heavy
step on the gravel and some one CAME
to interrupt. It was Andrew Gal
braith, calling with oldschool pune
tiliO to see if his hostess had suffered
in the accident on the lake.

into a road that brought him ont
upon the lake front far from town,
these things all came up for hear
ing, and he gave them room patient
ly, as a judge hears a plea that he
knows well he must disregard. The
storm was over, and the sun was set
ting in all the glory of the broken
cloud rack in the west. Griswold had
the artists eye for natures grand
eur, and at another time the sunset
would have held him spellbound. But
now he plodded along with hands
behind him and his head down, seeing
nothing but the all too clear vista of
the past, and that other vista of the
future which had but now become a
valley of shadows.
So plodding along the lake drive,
he came at length to the boundaries
of Jasper Griersons domain, and al
most before he knew it, he was climb
ing the path to Mereside. At the
very veranda steps he came alive to
some sense of what he was about to
do, and would have stopped to. weigh
the consequences-to turn back, it
may be- But a trim little figure
slipped from a hammock at the cor
ner of the veranda and Margery came
to meet him.
I'm so glad" she said, standing
at the steps to give him both her
hands in welcome. 81 did SO hope
you would come"

decently buried out of sight and be-

ton.
1t was during this ante-dinner in
terval of self-recriminatio ion on Girls
wold's part that two men met behind
closed door in first-foor cham Der
OF the summer hotel on the Point.
One of them was Mr.. Andrew Gal
bralth, but now returned from his
call ON Miss Grierson. The other was
shrewd-faced man, as yet in the
prime of life; a man with a square
jaw and thin lips and ferretty eyes.
Mr.. Galbraith held cigar between
his fingers, but it had gone out. The
other was smoking a Regalia, and it's
subtle fragrance filled the room.
You think you are sure of your
man this time, are you, Griffin?" said
the banker.
The detective blew smoke-c1oud
toward the ceiling and nodded slow
ly. There isn't shadow of doubt
about his identity, now
Then, pardon me, Mr.. Griffin, why
y
make your arrest and take the man
to New Orleans? I'll be there to APP
pear against him at the fall term of
court"
Il don't rightly know why 1 have
come to you" The detectives reply
was as hesitant as his nod had been.

toners in my time, and I don't know
as l ever hung back till now. But

State your case" said the banker,
briefly. Il can't conceive of any

That's it; that's just it. Neither

Andrew Galbraith answered off

I should do my duty, of course.

CHAPTER XXXII.

When Griswold took his leave of
Miss Grierson, which he did as soon
as he could after Mr.. Galbraith's
coming, he did not go to DR.. Farm
hams. On the contrary, he went to
his room at Mrs. Holbrook's, and
spent the hour before dinner tramp
ing up and down with his hands be-
hind him and with a sharper trouble
than he had ever known gnawing
ruthlessly at his peace of mind.
All through the talk with Margery,
and up to the very instant of inter-
ruption, he had made sure that her
thinly yelled hypothesis revolved
about one Edward Raymer. But at
the last moment, this conviction had
trembled upon it's pedestal and tot
tered to it's fall. He thought he had
come to know Margery pretty we'll
we'll enough to be sure that she
would not misunderstood anything
that he might have said. But when
he came to weigh those sayings of
his in the light of a possible miscon-
struction he was moved to grind his
teeth in a very manly agony Of
shame
He had neither weighed nor meas
ured them at the time-being so sure
that Raymer was the man; but in
that last little outburst OF hers there
was room for q most disquieting
! doubt; and since a man may be a
kDave Of conscience and still be a
gentleman, Csciswold despised himself
very heartily after the fact, going so
far as to question his right to go to
Charlotte until after this terrible
! doubt was drawn and quartered and

REM EN- BRANCE.

We think Of long-past moments,
The day We say Sood-by;
The tear we Go rot care to show
Comes stealing to the eye;
The voice that lu.1rd Is .2:S ago
Is tremulous ard sad;
The busy city far away
Has lost the charm it had;
The peacock cry is shrill, as though
Protesting, and her hands
Are pressed against her eyes, as we
Look back where mother stands.
With prayers to Him above us, &
we hurry on the way,
And leave the ones who love us
Zoo proud, alas. to stay!
We soon forget the heartache,
The tears soon cease to blind;
We soon forget o pray at night
For those we leave behind;
We hurry on to gain the height,
We strive for wealth and place,
And in our eagerness forget
The dear, pathetic face
But some ones hair keeps turning white,
And While we push ahead
A prayer COD first heard long ago
For US each night is said.
Though we forget they love US
And lose our old regret,
The God who reins above US
Knows that they re'er forget.
