CHAPTER XIV.

Something within seemed to tell Carol
that the meeting she had looked forward
to with such aversion. and yet at the
same time a strange eagerness, as though
anxious to have ii over with, was about
to take place that day.
When she left the mill she wendell
her way slowly through the forest to a
favorite spot of hers, and, reaching 1t,
sat down at the base Of a huge elm tree.
1t was the summit OF quite an elevation
and the view on either hand was per-
fectly grand, embracing, as 1t did, so
many vistas where openings occurred
through which the eye ranged far away
to the river, and to a still greater ele-
walton.
Alone with her thoughts she was accus-
toned to seeking this spot, and il seemed
ms il her very surroundings gave her com
fort, yet nothing could ease the terrible
pain that tugged at her heart-strings.
She held a book in her hand, but II did
not occupy her attention, for her gaze
was far away, and her mind evidently
upon the one subject nearest her heart.
Thus she sat when the eager eyes OF an
approaching man fell upon her, and the
spectacle brought him to a sudden pause.

durable as the rocks Of the cliff; that
through good and evil report you would
trust in me until my lips sounded your
death blow. How has it come out? At
the first breath Of suspicion, your love
shudders and shrivels up, turning to
loathing. If that is our priceless love,
then heaven help the next mau upon
whom you bestow it. l am going, Miss
Richmond. What! are you still dumb?
We shall meet once more, and when you
see me as the man l am, and not in the
guise of a villain who chances to belong
to my family and wears my name, then
perhaps you will deign to offer me your
forgiveness"
With these last bitter words. he wheel
ed. One flash from his eyes and he had
gone-gone from her in hot anger; gone
to collect the proof that was to over
whelm her, while she sat there, and bow
ing her head, wept bitter tears, for the
spell was again upon her, and she would
have believed him innocent of those aw-
full sins even should the whole world ac-
cuse him.

Curious Irish Marriage Custom.

A curious old marriage custom,
called locally ''the settling" still sur.
wives in Donegal county, Ireland, and
in the Scotch districts of Kintyre and
Cowal.' After the marriage has been
publicly announced the friends of the
couple meet at the house of the brides
parents to fix a suitable date for the
marriage. A bottle of whisky il
opened, and as each guest drinks to
their happiness he names a date.
When each guest has named a date an
average is struck and "settling" il
complete. Neither the bride nor bride.
groom ever thinks of protesting against
the date 80 curiously chosen.

Growth of Hair.

Like most vegetation, the hair grows
better in light than in darkness because
of the stimulating effect of light and
sunshine. 1t has often been noticed
in the case of men who sit in Offices
with one side always turned toward the
light that the mustache or beard of
that side grows longer than on the
other.

1t Is seldom that one sees a boiled
fish alive, yet there are such in the
boiling lake of Amatitlan, Guatemala.
A species of fish was lately seen there
by a French traveller. These fish, he
asserts, often pass days in the boiling
water, which comes from numberless
hot springs.

Upon recommendation of Major O.

Colonel K. w. Stewart, of Pierre.
General S, j. Conklin has just issued
an official order relieving Lieutenant
Thomas II. Briggs from duty as
quar- termaster OF the first battalion,

relieving Lieutenant Chas. A. Rub
from duty as quarteruaster of the
third battalion, second regiment. S.

to duty on Major Coursey's staff.
Lieutenant Briggs as adjutant and
Lieutenant Rub as quartermaster.
This will give Major Coursey prac-
tically a full staff Of Spanish War
Veterans, something he has waited
a couple years to accomplish. The
change will be highly satisfactory to
Mitchell as it combines and cements
together the young men who repre-
sented her upon the fields OF honor
in the Philippines.

SOME ELECTION ECHOES

Sanborn county voted on bonds for
the construction OF d court house,
but the proposition was defeated.
Sanborn county is one Of the very
few counties in the state that does not
possess Il court house building, and
as it is a wealthy county it Gems
that it ought to have d home for its
officers. There is more or less ieul-
Ousy in the county ovel the county
seat being located at Woonsocket.
and il may have had an ;ntluence in
determining the result of the bond
election.
In Hanson county the democrats
were successful in electlng their en-
tile ticket with the exception of
Senator Il. b Wagner, the repub-
lican candidate for this position,
was the only successful man on the
ticket. The political complexion of
the board of county commissioners
is also changed which will mean a
change IN the naming Of the Official
papers for the coming year.
Down in Charles Mix county was a
county seat fight, an effort being
made to remove the seat Of govern
ment from Wheeler to Geddes.
Platte was also a candidate but it
threw its support to Wheeler. Ged-
des was defeated ty about 100 votes.
Had it not been for the capital
contest in the state the chances are
that there would not have been so
heavysa vote polled, which meant d
larger republican majority.
One Of the hottest fights for polit.
zeal preferment was down in Douglas
county. The democrats were in
power but every republican, will
one exception, was elected. A spe.
cial fight was made on X. G. Foster

Dear Sir:-I have received official
notice from DIR. Par kin. agent for

ship. that the examination for this

from some Of the committees of Sc
lection that it has proved impossible
TO distribute the elected scholars
throughout the colleges of Oxford
With due reference to their own
wishes For the reason that more
time is necessary between the exam
ination and the distribution OF the
successful candidates among the COL
leges at Oxford. it has been decided
to hold the examination about the
middle OF January. | wish further
to notify you that the examination
will this year be held at Yankton

their names to the Dean of Yankton
college before the end of December.
