'uilus Chambers tells in the Reader
new in 1887, while he was editing q
paper in Paris. he conceived the idea
OF putting on his editorial staff an
old beggar woman who had two wood
en- legs and who was a well-known
sight on the boulevard. So he paid
ner q regular salar- and had brilliant
interviews written with leading men
and women OF Paris which he pub-
nshed over the signature The Little
Old Woman on Two Sticks" He savs.
IL soon became a matter Of pride
among English and Americans to
Know the w%retched creature who had
become SO famous. Money was show
cred upon her by American and Eng
ilsh visitors who had not fatbomed
the humor OF the situation and verita-
oly accepted the inference that the
Dessar was on speaking acquaintance
Win al the notables OF Paris. The
episode finally developed into q farce
because the old woman's vanity was
reused by the attention notorietv
Drought her. She could not read Eng.
'isn. knew nothing about the contents
OF the articles and actually nattered
herselI into the belief that she nos
sessed physical attraction for the
generous-hearted men who gave her
aims or patted her tenderly on the
shoulder. Like many another useful

success and n day struck for higher

Starne laughed harshly.
Suspect me? Why, l was the most
grief-stricken OF the lot. When I re-
ported the thing to the captain OF the
steamer | could scarcely control myself
for weeping. And I've been assuaeing
Elsie's grief and comforting the old
man ever since"
When you are his son-in-law you
can do it better"
"Oh, worlds better"
Both laughed.
Rob lay quietly listening to this didL
| bolical conversation. 1t mado the mys-
terry clear to him at last. Starns was
trying to win the hand of his cousin
Elsie, to get David Horizons fortune.
And he wanted ii all. That was tho
| reason he threw Rob o~verboard-to ret
him out Of the way and leave the path
clear for his 0Wn plots and plans. Rob
clenched his fists and shook with rage
at this shameless story. Then fear
overcame the rage, and he trembled
with apprehension. Truly, he was in q
bad fix now. In the vesy house with
bis enemy. Oh. il Siarne would only
leave before morning.
What about the letters?" asked
Starne, after a few moments OF silence,
in which Rob could distinguish the
clinking of glasses.
II suppose you came to write them"
answered Elvin.
Yes"
We'll. / have done better than that.
1t seems that Torrevo had a nephew
with him who was educated in New
York. He wrote the tally of the last
cargo, and did it so well that / brought
him here to write the letters. The
plans are ripe now, and We must hur-
ry."
True enough. But was 1t safe to
bring q stranger into it,"
"He is only a boy. And at any rate
it was safer than for you to write
them. You must not be known in the
thing at all. There is always the pos
sibility of failure, and if the revolution
does not succeed, then you will have
Horizons money to fall back on. You
must not be known even as my son. I
would advise you not to come here
again. unless something important

well, be careful. | Will have the
notices sent out in cipher tomorrow,
and by the following day the first steps
will be taken to overthrow this hate

Hateful! l should say So"
Rob could now hear the preparations
for departure, and soon a horse passed
his window. Iemuel babe his father
goodnight and rode away.
"Ill show them how to write letters
tomorrow" said Rob to himself, as he
clenched his fists again. Perhaps Mr..
Lemuel Elvin Starne won't come out SO
big as he thinks he will. Oh! wasn't II
lucky that Torrevo made me write that
tally? Now ! can save my uncle and
Elsie from the worst villain that ever
lived"
1t looked so easy to Rob. But there
were difficulties Of which he was en-

The theatre-going public will
hail with delight the good news
that our old friend "Uncle Josh
Spruceby" is to visit us soon.
This company, which has made
an exceptionally strong impress
sion wherever it has appeared,
has many friends here who will
await it's coming with interest.
The organization this year is bet
ter than ever, all the old favorltes
being retained and capable new
ones added, and now takes rank
with the best dramatic companies
touring the country. The play IS
one of those homely New England
dramas, with a beautiful story
running through it. Comedy,
pathos and sensation abound.
Strict attention has been paid to
detail and full new set of scenery
has been painted for this season.
Undoubtedly a big crowd will at
tend to welcome "Sally", "Out O.
Sight, :Dutchy", the Hayseed
Band and .'Uncle JOSH himself.
No theatrical season is complete
without the joys afforded by
"Uncle JOSH and his fellow

pany is still retained and as usual
is still source OF delight. Will

Last Saturday some of our town
boys comprising the local foot
ball team, visited Abbevilie to
PLAY a game with q team there.
supposing the Abbeville boys to
be as others whom they had met,
here and elsewhere. They learned
that the Abbeville team was COM
posed of persons of a far different
calibre than any previously met
by them. From reports of mem
bers of our team it seems that the
brutal onslaughts aud unreason-
ing attacks made were just so
many attempts at bloodshed, veil
ed beneath the guise OF play.
A few of our boys got home
without being SO seriously injured
as Others less fortunate. Mr.. Gus
Loustalot had the bone Of his left
! shoulder broken; Mr.. Harry Smith
has two teeth less than he pos
sessed when the game began
| Master Robert O'Niell arrived
home with a fractured rib; Mr..
Paul Trow bridge was twice stunned
during the course of the game,
while Mr.. Vernon Thiel was sc
severely struck that he was also
stunned once during the game.
Such shameless and brutal prac'
tices are unworthy the civiliza-
ton of our age, and Abbeviile
should be given black mark by
all the other teams in the State
as far a sporting games are con
cerned.
