PAYNES TRIAL
SET FOR FEB. Sd.

Justice Garrison has fixed Wednesday,
February Sd, as the date for the trial Of
John D. Paye for the murder Of William
Minks, and the preliminary step leading mp
to the trial was taken last Friday when
struck panel Of forty EIGHT was drawn from
the regular panel Of jurors for the February
term. James Skill, of West Deptford, and
William Middleton, Of Wenonah, were the
names dropped by this drawing The crime
for which Payne will be tried was COM
mitted on June 81, last, on the evening Of
that date, William Mink, who resided on
Oak street, this city, was shot to death by
John D. Payne, young man aged about
% years, near neighbor Of Mink, who had
been paying attention to Mink IS daughter.
Payne, up to this time, bore a good repnta-
tion. He had served three years in the U.
S. army in the Philippines, and his record
there was excellent. He is window glass
blower by trade. He is tall, we'll pro-
portioned man, and his pleasant counten-
ance bears no lines indicative Of brutal or
victims instincts.
There were at least three eye witnesses Of
the crime, one man and two ladies, and on
the testimony of these probably hangs the
fate OF John d. Payne.

 At dinner she was silent woe-be- gone and ate as little food as she pos sibly could. She caught a look which passed between her father and moth CT, and interpreting it as sympathetic pity, pitied herself still more pro- ! ifoundly than before and left the room sobbing. Now the look which Bettina had seen was not just what 1t seemed
 to her to be. And when she had gone
 her father began to chuckle a lit- | tie.
 Tt does seem too bad to laugh at

 well learn her lesson now as any time. l She treated John like a three-year-
 old child treats its nurse in a fit of | temper. If I had been in his place
 I'd have shaken her and brought her

BETTINA'S ROMANCE.
BY cEcELIA LorzEAUx.

fcopyrightj 1904, By Daily Story Pub.
 As the days of october moved tow ard a close, and the weather crfsped into a delightful keenness, Bettina re- membered that Thanksgiving was coming. She was sorry because she hadn't anything to be thankful for that Is nothing worth mentioning Of course she had home and par ents and plenty of money and pretty clothes and things like that, but what was the use of being thankful for these~when one had lost ones H. ance? Obviously, no use at all. These were Bettina's thoughts as she was walking swiftly along the river road one day early in November. The keen wind mad stung her cheeks to q glowing pink and her body to a tingling warmth. She had to try very, very hard to feel melancholy, in spite of the fact that she had just broken her engagement and wished she hadn't. For she was young

And Bettint could do nothing else than consent though her heart was hot. They knew now she loved to So and she had never heard Mrs Fiske And they were positively glad to be rid of her. This was too deep for tears and she set about burning her letters and getting ready for a lone stay, for shs had decided at once that sne would stay as long as Cousin Mary would keep her.
 She left home three days before Thanksgiving. It was a four-hour trip to Porter and she was kept busy recognizing things along the way By the time she reached the little station she was very pleasantly ex- cited and hugged Cousin Alb enthusi- astically. But the ride to the farm was long and 1t was cold and some Of her nigh spirits died away by the time they reached the warm house.
 The first day things were all right Bettina was kept busy exploring the Farm that she had no time to be Lonesome. The next day things were not quite so nice.

The infusion of so large a proportion of wholesome comedy into a serious melo-drama like "Why He Divorced Her" has been the subject of no little comment. particularly on account of the thoroughly consistent manner in which the jolly part is allowed to hold attention.
 There are a half dozen characters who walk through the scenes and incl dents of this fine play frequently dur. ing moments when the audience are still gasping with surprise over some startling episode. This Is evidently intended as a preparation for the sem sations to follow.
