PRISON FOR A PLANTER.
A1abaman Pleads Guilty to Holding
Negroes in Peonage.

J. w. Pace of Tallapoosa, Ala, a
wealthy planter, was found guilty in the
federal court of holding negroes in In
voluntary seryitude and given five years
in prison. He pleaded guilty to each Of
eleven indictments, but owing to the ad-
vanced age of the convicted man he was
sentenced to serve punishment concur
rently, making his Imprisonment sin
gle fve-year term. The case was APP
pealed to test and defendant released on
bail of $1,000.
Pace was charged with holding in
peonage ten negroes. The negroes were
treated cruelty on PAGES farm, many be-
ing brutally whipped. 1t is said that
Owens Green, negro, was whipped so
severely that many bones in his body
were broken and that his power Of speech
was interfered with.
When Pace made his statement to the
Judge he acknowledged that he was gull
ty. He said: Il plead guilty to the of
lenses and would like your honor to be
merciful." The judge then asked him
if he had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed upon him and he
replied in the negative.
At Macon, Ga, in the United States
900 each on three young men, William
Shy, Arthur Clawson and Robert Tur-
ner, for holding a negro in involuntary
servitude. He suspended the fine under
conditions, and so doing the court said:
'In view of the fact that it is the
first crime of the kind which ever has
occurred in Georgia, and because of the
frank confession of the young men, SEN
tence is imposed in order to convince the
public that the purpose of the court is
to warn and deter others from like crime.
During good behavior fine is suspended
upon payment Of 500 each"
The offense was that the young men,
who are farmers, caught negro who
was in debt to them, gave him a whip
ping and made him go to work for them.
Judge Speer said that the problem of
the times could not be solved by harsh
measures and wanted it distinctly under
stood that the laws of Georgia were
against such treatment.

CHAPTER xxi.

"Grace, love, will you so to Willard?
He has something to say to you"
The Southern sun hung low in the
western heavens; the day was excessive
ly warm for April, and little cloud in
the sky, "no bigger than mans hand"
foreboded shower. Grace turned from
the window where she stood watching
the shifting white clouds in the blue sky,
and went back to the room from which
she had stolen to hide the bitter pain at
her heart.
A very solemn silence hung about the
white-draped chamber. The window
shutters were open to admit the balmy
air. and a slanting ray of sunshine had
stolen in and frightened the top of the
sick mans pillow, touching into golden
radiance the dark locks pushed away
from his brow The wan and wasted
face wore beautiful serenity that was
not of earth. Goods finger had 'ttouch-
ed him. very gently, but palpably.
Grace bent over him, taking his cold
white hand in hers with voiceless emo
ton. She had grown 50 fond of him in
a warm, sisterly fashion, reyerenced his
brave, pure, upright spirit so highly that
it seemed to her a close and kindred soul
"
bright beyond, leaving her more alone
and desolate than ever.
"It is almost over" he said, looking
up at her with the reflex of a smile in
the beautiful dark-gra orbs that kept
their luminous radiance to the last.
She answers not. How can she break
with the sounds of human grief the
brooding peace that shines on the path
way of this departing spirit? Silence
falls for brief space. He is gathering
his fainting strength for the words that
come slowly from his lips:
Il have been the bearer to you of IN
welcome tidings so often, Mrs. Winans,
that it absolutely pains me now to re-
call it,
do not recall it," she rejoins, earnest
~. why should you? The power over
ruling such things is higher than we are.
You have been a comforter to me more
often than you know of-take only that
thought with YOU"
He smiles as she re-arranges his pill
lows, lifting his head so that his faint
breath comes more evenly. The stray
end of one of her long silken carls falls
over his breast an instant, and he touches
it with a caressing hand.
1T is given to me" he answers, "to
bear you good tidings before l so. Your
memories of me-will not thus be all IN
pleasant ones"
The eager remonstrance forming itself
on her lip dies unspoken as he goes on:
You have borne sorrow with a very
brave heart, Gracie-haye been, as you
once told me, and as l really think fire.

She cannot possibly speak. Something
rising in her throat literally chokes her
breath.

A NERvY OLD SOLDIER.
Without Groan He Watched the Sur.
geons Cut His Leg Off Twice.

When Henry G. Nichols, Of Jersey
City, died the other day there passed a
man of the stuff heroes are made of.
With the same courage and GOODNESS he
displayed facing death at Antietam and
in the battle of the Wilderness, he watch
ed the work of the surgeons while they
cut off his leg in two operations, in Christ
Hospital, and then faced the inevitable
end and died with smile on his face.
Nichols was 81 years old. He had a
weak heart, following an operation for
appendicitis about year ago. Wounds
received in the war brought on necrosis
of the bones of the leg and the forma-
ton of a clot in an artery. This was
followed by gangrene. and the only hope
for life was the amputation Of the limb.
He could not stand an anaesthetic, and
the doctors told him that his only chance
was to have his leg cut off while he was
conscious. He told him to go ahead,
and after the first amputation had been
made the condition as disclosed made a
second operation necessary, and they cut
into flesh and bone again while the old
soldier, perfectly conscious, looked on at
the grinding of the surgical saw and the
keen-bladed knives.
For week it seemed as if he would
live, but with the beginning of the ninth
day his vitality began to wane and it
was manifest he could not survive.
On the morning of Memorial Day he
insisted upon being removed from the
hospital to his home, and to be carried
through the streets, where he knew his
comrades Of the Grand Army Of the
Republic were marching. His request
was complied with The veteran waved
his hand feebly to the thinned-out ranks
as he passed them by, but he never be-
trayed by any sign that he suffered.
After the parade he was taken in and put
to bed, but it was plain he could not last.

we shall find written in letters Of light,
perchance, within the pearly gates of the

Closer and closer yet grew the fond
tie between mother and son as the long
days waned to the lovely Southern tWi-

letter came on the third of April, to say
that no letters from home had reached
her for a month; she was still ignorant
of that fatal illness her tender heart
had foreboded months before. One por-
ton of the letter which she specially de-
sired her brother to read, he was too ill
to see for several days after its recep-
ton. Not until after that night at whose
eye DR.. Constant said sadly to his moth
er:

said, holding the weeping mothers hand

willard, dear son, there is a letter

Lying back among his pillows, as
white as they, very much wasted, with
the dark curls waving back from the
high, pale brow, and a very quiet peace
in his grave, sweet eyes, Willard takes
that letter, and reads it, slowly and pain
fully through.
A dimness crosses his vision as he
holds it more than once, and remem-
brance comes to him as he notes the
clear, running chirography, of how his
own hand once guided the little fingers
that traced these lines in their first la
bored efforts to write. But the light of
a very sweet content irradiates his face
as he turns it's pages. If there is aught
that can heighten the content of these,
his dying hours, it is the story that is
told in the pages of his sisters letter.

Jupiter is much the biggest member
of the family of stars which revOlve
around Il sun; consequently the pow
er of his attraction is greater than that
possessed, for instance, by the earth.
Jupiter's exploits as a burglar have
caused very considerable annoyance
and inconvenience to astronomers in
the days before his powers were fully
recognized.
In ITO there appeared a fine comet,
which vas found to have an elliptical
orbit round the sun of so comparatively
small a size that Mr.. LeXell, its discov-
erer, calculated it would return in five
and a half years, hut in 1915 telescopes
were vainly focused on the spot where
1t was expected to reappear, and again
in 1871 it disappointed all observers.
Mr.. LeXell plunged into fresh ~calcula-
tons and after much research found
that Jupiter was the culprit. The I'M
fortunate comet had been rash enough
TO plunge into the sphere of the giant
planets attraction, with the result that
it had been completely diverted from
its former orbit and flung off into quite
n different one of a twenty year period.
1t has never been seen again by any
one on this earth and probably never
will he.

delay which occurred in the return of
