dition as a result of quarrel with his

the head are pressing against the
brain and they have but small hopes
of his recovery.

Vincent's Hospital in Portland.

r. E. Williams, cashier of the Dallas
City Bank, who has been seriously ill
at the home of his father, J. j.
Williams, in this city, was removed
to st. Vincent's Hospital in Portland,
Wednesday. Upon the advice of his
DR.. A. E. Rockey, of Port
land, Mr.. Williams submitted to
surgical operation before being re-
moved from his home. DR.. Rockey
arrived in Dallas, Tuesday, and after
an examination Of the patient,
decided that an immediate operation
was necessary. The patient was
placed on the operating table at late
hour Tuesday afternoon. An incision
in the lower part Of the abdomen re-
vealed the presence Of a large abscess,
from which a considerable quantity
Of pus was removed. Mr.. Williams
rallied from the effects of the opera
tion in good shape, and, aside from
extreme weakness, was feeling much
better when carried to the train We'd
nesday morning. He was placed on a
cot in the car, and everything was
done to make him as comfortable as
possible on the three hours run to the
city. He was accompanied on the trip
by his brother, Walter, and his sister,
Mrs. A. J. Rhodes, of Tacoma. The
former returned home last night, and
says his brother is resting easy, with
bright prospects for an early recovery.

 He had gone perhaps mile in this reckless fashion when thought struck him that made him rein in his steed and sent the color from his face with as much swiftness as had Jane's cruel stabs awhile back.

as though she had slammed a door in his face! Really, it was too much! He dug his spurs into his horse that pampered animal that. seldom knew a touch which was not gentle. and dashed recklessly through the woods. It was we'll that his mount was as good forester as he, else they must have come to grief.
 As for Jane, she drove on with her brain in whirl. What had Godfrey meant by attributing such speech to Col. Bessemer? Pah, it was but some idle gossip which those bandits with whom he associated had picked up at some wayside inn.
 She was too experienced in such matters not to have read the sheer ity of Col. Bessemer's admiration for herself underneath his ornate speeches and too ardent glances. That he thought her beautiful she could not doubt. Most men did. Even when she was but raw schoolgirl of 16 in Philadelphia he had singled her out for marked attention during his stay in the city.
 True, he had brought letters of i'm troduction to her stepmother's brother, of whose household she was an inmate. and being made welcome with that cordiality which the tories of Philadelphia showered upon the British officers, he spent much of his time at her uncle's house, which ac- counted, doubtless, for the courtesies he paid her. She had been new to such things then, and she could not deny that his red coat and gold lace, his London manners, and the high esteem in which he was so evidently held by his superior officers had touched her girlish fancy and made her heart f7utter not little.
 When the fortunes of war took him away from the city, he had left her with many expressions of undy- ing devotion, and she had believed him. But with the lapse of time it had grown to be a matter neither for surprise nor resentment with her that he had apparently forgotten all about her the moment he was out of her sight, and that she had heard not one word4 from him, although she had heard much of him, until he had  appeared at her home the other day.
 It had amused her little then to note that Bessemer had been willing to make all. out of their former ac- quaintance that he could, and to inn press his officers that there had been more between them in Philadelphia than there was. She could easily un- derstand that from this might have arisen some idle gossip which had been exaggerated by the time 1t reached Godfrey'ss ears into the words he had repeated to her. That the young American had deliberately lied or that be had even amplified the tale in it's telling she knew him too well to believe; but she had been angry enough with him to be. willing to give him any slap in the face which came handy, and she was too much woman to worry herself over injustice.
 It was a pity Godfrey could not read her thoughts, for then he might have picked his way through the

hanging Branches sweeping its top and damp mold drowsing the senses of it's occupants, when out from among the trees galloped horse man. As Jane's eyes fell upon him she strengthened up from her loung-l ing attitude against the cushions,I while over her face spread an expres- sion so forbidding that it made her look ten years older-but, alas, she did not know it.
 ''Ah, Jane," Capt. Worthington, cried, refining up his horse beside her carriage with the confident air of an old friend, "I am in luck to-day. I have longed to see you since our as-,, sauE of the other night to--''
 If Jane's head could have reared itself higher, it would. "T should think,'' she observed, that Capt. Worthington might at least have the decency not to refer to his ruffianly behavior. Absalom, drive on.'' 7,
 "Jane," the captain cried again, "you must permit me to explain.j It,
 Explain? And what, pray, is there to explain? I am not so dull that I need have it explained to me how Capt. Worthington used his knowl- edge of my fathers premises to spy upon my guests, nor how he forged note in his sisters name to give some color of excuse to his presence there." -
 'Forged?' the captain gasped.
 And as for what followed, while know that it must have disappoint- ed you that your plot did not so far succeed as to enable you to burn alive in our beds my guests and my self, yet if you could have heard the means and seen the wounds of the half score poor soldiers whom I had carried into my house and could have viewed the destruction wrought to my fathers property, methinks you might have felt that you had just

day of Jedg'ment hab come! sabe uS! sabe us!''
 She made her way towards the stairs, the women following at her heels. A door at her left opened and redcoateil figure rushed out, Duckling belt with nervous haste. "Ye gods, madam, let me pass," he cried, and brushing past her with scant ceremony descended the steps at bound.
 Other marital figures, more coatless than coated, were running through the lower hall. Evidently it was the first of the strife which had awakened her, and the British were only just getting into line to repel the in- vasion.
 She had expected to find the rear of the house in flames, for it was from the rear that the red glow came, but the dwelling itself was as yet un- touched, though some outbuildings were burning furiously, the sparks flying rather too thickly for comfort, Uncle Peter and Gabriel and even her stepmother's pet, Sampson, with the other men-servants belonging to the house, were standing in group in the middle of the diningroom peer ing towards the end window, watch ing the flames rise towards the star filled heavens, for the night had cleared and there was stiffer wind than was agreeable to Jane. Not long was the group allowed to remain in- active. With quick command, she set them to packing the silver and arti- cles of value that could be easily moved, while she herself placed the precious china in 8 strong box that was kept ever ready for such emer- gency.
 She threw open one of the dining room windows and stepped out onto the broad side-porch to reconnoiter. The scene before her was a wild one, being lively skirmish conducted with agility on one side and vigor on the other. The invaders had the tactical advantage, though but about one fifth the number of the repelling force. They darted hither and thither on their wiry steeds, deal- ing lightning blows at their adver- saries and now and then snatching prisoner and dashing away towards the woods. ...
 To stay and fight was not their calculation. A dash, a blow, flying retreat was the programme, and they carried it out we'll. The Britishers jumped hither and thither on their sturdy legs, fighting furiously, but the horsemen laughed in their faces, peppered them with shot, and were gone gone so suddenly that Jane, watching, felt her head whirl. One moment she saw them there fighting, and the next instant they had disap- peared as by magic, all save one.
 He, either too busily engaged to notice his comrades retreat or un- willing to yet abandon the field, pranced back and forth upon his big bay horse, engaging in combat some redcoats who strove in vain to un- horse him.
