chester Bank, testified that the
president and cashier of the bank
were away from Winchester and he
knew nothing of the note executed
by James Hargis- The court is
sued an order for him to produce
all the books of the bank bearing on
the note. More witnesses in rebuff
tai were introduced.
The attorneys for Caleb Powers
rendered to the Circuit Court at
Georgetown Wednesday petition
asking that the case be removed to
the Federal Court for the Eastern
district of Kentucky. The ground
on which the petition is based is
the alleged impossibility of securing
for the accused's constitu-
tional rights in the State court.
Judge Stout called a special term
of the Scott Circuit Court to try
the case beginning July 10. He
announced that he would pass on
the petition for removal at that
time. The attorneys for Powers
contend that by the mere fact of
the petition being rendered to the
State court the case is removed
into the Federal Court, at least so
far as to give the latter tribunal the
right to pass on the question of
jurisdiction.

Then he added. You are my guest as
long as you can stay In Boston,"
When, two days later, Uncle Terry

a large package containing n silk dress
pattern for Aunt Lissy, a WOODEN one
for Mrs. Leach and n complete artists
outfit for Telly. with these things
he said, "go my best regards for those

CHAPTER XXXIV.

~ HE halcyon days Of autumn
II had come, when one day Al
FN7S7SN1 bert packed Il valise and
& boarded the early morning
train for Maine. An insidious longing
to see the girl that had been in his
thoughts for four months had come to
him, and week by week increased until
1T had overcome business demands.
Then he had n little good news from
Stockholm, which. as he said to him
self, would serve as an excuse. He
had told Frank what his GRAND was
to Uncle Terry, and to say to any that
called that he would return In two
days. OF his reception by Telly he was
a good deal in doubt. She had written
to him in reply to his letters, but be-
tween each of the simple, unaffected
lines all he could read was an under
tone Of sadness. That, with Il vivid
recollection of what Uncle Terry had
disclosed, led him to believe there was
some burden on her mind.
When he graspcd Uncle Terry's hand
at the boat landing that old mans face
fairly beamed.
"I'm right glad ter see yc,' he said,
IAN so III the folks be. Thar amt
much goin' on at the Cape any time,

night or so with YOU" said Albert,

"1n n way, yes,' replied Albert.
"This firm OF Thygcson & Co. writo ex-
pressing surprise that Frye should
have given up the case after they had
paid him ove $500, and ask that L file
n bond with the Swedish consul in
Washington before they submit a

."Thcy must a got skccry o. lawyers

three weeks, and 1t broke his miserly
heart. | mover want TO see such a
sight again In my life as his face was
that morning. 1t haunted me for a
week after"
When Uncle Tcrry's home was reach
cd Albert found Il most cordial rccep-
ton awaiting him from Aunt Lissy,
and, what pleased him far more, n
warmly welcoming smile from Tclly.
"Tm sorry We didn't know We were
comin'," said Aunt Lissy. 80 wc could
be better prepared for company"

Then she raised her one free arm
and, resting 1t against a nearby tree,
pressed her face upon 1t and almost
whispered: ooh, don't ask me nowi
1 can't say yes and I can't say no."
II shall believe that your heart says
YES" he responded quickly, slipping
n arm o her waist, land until
you do say no I shall keep on loving
you just the sam&''
She drew herself away and, turning
n piteons face toward him, exclaimed,
Don't, please, say another word now,
or 1 shall hate myself as long as 1
live IL you do"
Fol one moment he stood dumfound-
ed, and then 1t dawned upon him.
Forgive me, sweet Alice, he said
softly, "for speaking too 1 be-

time you Will come to know my mother
better. And since you nave said that
you can't say no. 1 shall anticipate
that some time it will be yes Now
we will go and gather lilies"
Then, as he led her to the boat, his
arm once more stole around her waist,
and this time she did not try to escape
its pressure.
When, two days afterward, the broth
er and sister were ready to depart,
Blanch put one arm caressingly around
Alice and whispered, "Now, remember,
you have promised to makem me n visit
