in the midst of feast, What
would she say or do if she knew the
truth?" But he wilfully drove the
thing away, and resolved, for that mo-
ment at least, to drink the cup of hap
piness to the last drop.
AS ne led her to a cool corner after
the final crashing bars of the music
he murmured:
Il shall call upon Sir Arthur in
the morning, dearest. You can guess
why"
Il will tell him to expect you," she
said, lifting her eyes bravely to his,
the love-light shining in their star
like depths.
will your brothers be likely to
make any objections, do you think?"
he inquired, the slight tremor of
anxiety in his voice seeming perfectly
natural to the girls quick perception.
Il think Sir Arthur will be glad to
get me off his hands," she said rogu-
ishly. "As for Rick, why, he does not
know you very we'll, you see, and he
trust take my word for it that you are
perfectly eligible, of legal age, and
sound mind"
I'm not so sure about that last"
he responded, catching at her gay hui

The rest of the sentence was unfin-
ished, for at that moment Stella was
claimed for the next dance, and Kane
saw her no more until supper was
served, when he had expressly re-
served the privilege OF taking her in,
and she sat on his right hand with
Richard on his left.
By ali rules of social precedence
these places of honor belonged to
others, but at the last moment Kane
gave orders which resulted in the ar
rangement named. The evening had
begun and continued auspiciously,
and with his customary cool hardi-
hood he resolved to then and there
test to the utmost the possibility of
Richards recognizing him.
During the repast the talk naturally
drifted to the Cape. Nearly everyone
knew that Rick had just returned
thence, and he was kept busy answer
ing questions as to his adventures, so
that Kane was spared the necessity of
originating or replying to any direct
inquiries, but by judicicus remark
here and there he showed his knowl-
edge of the subjects touched on, nor
seemed to manifest the slightest de-
sire for concealment.
Every word he uttered had for it's

able impression upon Richard Dysart,
but it was all done with such con-
summate tact that the younger ant;
buffer man was completely captivated
by the elder, as was proved when, on
kissing Stella goodnight, after their
drive home. he said
well, Sis, your Rossiter Kane
seems to be TRIUMPH"
THANK you, Rick was her reply
II just knew you would like him!''
and, covered with happy bushes, she
disappeared.
So the ball was an unqualified sue
cess, and the star of Rossiter Kane was
in the ascendant house.
At noon the next day he cantered
up to the entrance of Denecroft and
inquired for Sir Arthur Dysart On
being ushered into the library he

Told Her Age.

Usually only cruel necessity would
compel an unmarried woman to ac-
knowledge herself over 80 in the face
of a large public meeting. But Miss Vida
Goldstein, a female candidate for the
commonwealth senate in Victoria, did
not shrink from the ordeal, for 30 is the
minimum statutory age for an Aus
tralian senator. In the opening speech
of her campaign, delivered in Portland,
her birthplace, she contradicted the re-
port that she was only Is. and boldly
unclaimed herself 90. ~ j..

MART VOWELL PAID THE DEATH PENALTY.
Hanged at Paragould for Mur- der of Wm. Lovejoy in Clay County Last August
 Died Game.

Paragould, June 9. Mart Vow
 ell was hanged at $40 this after
 noon for the murder of Wm. F.
 Lovejoy in Clay county, August l il last. No hitch occurred in the
 plans connected with the execu- tion, not the slightest trouble be- ing encountered.
 The hanging was witnessed by a large number of persons. Sher- ifs Hammett, Cross county; Pat terson, Woodruff county; Burk, Craighead county; Bradsher, Poinsett county, and Brooks of Dunklin county, Mo-, were among the witnesses.
 Vowell arose and dressed early this morning and appeared re- signed to his fate. Some of his relatives and friends hoped to the last that Gov. Davis would at least give the condemned man a respite. When no favorable word came from Little Rock as the day progressed, all hope was abandoned. The execution was stayed until almost the last hour permissible.
 Vowell remained cool to the end, and died game. It was $40 when the drop occurred. Death ensued in eighteen min utes.
 Religious services were con- ducted at the scaffold before the hanging, and Vowell professed belief in Christianity.
 Mart Vowell was born in Ten nessee April 16, 1844. He en- listed in the Confederate army when he was 19 years old and served until the close of the war. He was a member of the Twenty first cavalry, Wilson's regiment, Bells brigade, Forests com mand. He participated in the Price Crossroads battle, and dur ing the this fight suffered a se- were sunstroke. He was mem- Der of the Methodist church for many years. He was member of Macedonia lodge No. 241, I. o. o. F., and of Macedona lodge No. 557, F. & A. M.

TO BUILD DREDGE BOAT.

George c. Peters, James Love and Lewis Gage returned today from Mississippi county, where they went to inspect the work done by a dredge boat. These gentlemen are on a committee appointed by the county court to investigate the advisability of making drainage ditch of Lost Creek. They will report favor ably in the matter, and say that dredge boat can be built and used to advantage in making the ditch. The ditch is to be a straight one that will redeem from overflow fully one hundred acres of land in the city limits just north of the railroad. This land, when drained, will be very valu- able.

FELL FROM A WINDOW.

Little Eula Coxie fell from a second story window of the Earnheart hotel Thursday night. The little girl got up from her bed while asleep and climbed out of the window. She fell to the metal awning, several feet be- low the window, and from it to the street. The awning checked the force of the fall and pre- vented her from striking the concrete pavement below.
 Deputy Marshal Mankins noted the disturbance when it occurred and rushed to the spot and found the child lying on the ground ap- parently lifeless. Dr. Dorr was at once called and after a little while partial consciousness was restored. No bones were broken and she is resting very we'll to- day. Batesville Bee.
