SUES SHERIFF DOUST
FOR MAKING A LEVY

Miller says that he suffered humili-
alton and was exposed to the ridi-
Guile of his neighbors and friends by
the sheriff's course and that thereby
also his credit and standing in the
community as business man was
greatly and permanently injured. The
record of the sheriff's office shows
that within few days after the levy
was made the sheriff sold Miller out
under chattel mortgage foreclosure.

He certainly married, and only a few
months after his return: but the wife
he chose was nearly of an age with
himself-a widow, frall and delicate.
and family reminiscent of byegone
prettiness. The first time he saw her,
before they were introduced, she re.
minded him OF his old love. He could
not have said how or where, but 1t
proved an attraction strong enough to
chain him TO her side, to bring him
quickly to her feet-he who had never
done anything before without the ut
most deliberation and thought. And
she was not by any means generally
fascinating, only one of those gentle.
colorless women who fail to interest
even their friends, but who generally
succeed in obtaining and holding fast
the warmest attachment Of n certain
class Of quiet, shy men. III tt
Her past was peopled by her former
husband and her alling children, now
all lost to her, but she did not find
much to tell him about them. She spoke
to him more about an early attachment
that had proved unfortunate. She
shook 1t out of the rose leaves and
lavender of memory in which she had
long laid 1t for his inspection-a
crumpled, faded relic of her glrlhood.
