 The three men, who are all negroes, are resigned to their. fate. and state that they will meet death without a culver. Negro ministers have visited them almost daily. and the condemned men state that they have made their peace with their God. Jackson has written letters to Superintendent Car michael of the penitentiary board, ask Governor show executive clemency. The letter. as has been stated in these columns previously, has been referred to Sheriff Burgin. In view of the de- liberate and cold-blooded manner in which Officer Steele was murdered there is hardly a chance for Jackson to have the death .:eLtence commuted.
 The condemned men have all been baptized, the ceremony being perform cd by T negro preacher, who is in Jail charged with murder himself

Our Daily $bcrt Story

Robert defiant1y. but he released the girl and stood on the defensive, for he had good reason to know the splend.. physical prowess of his brother. The elder was a splendid specimen of phys ical manhood. He was in the early thirties and much given to athletics. When released Gracia tottered and fell to the floor. Arthur sprang to her assistance and raised her to her feet.
 "Pll make 1t my business to see that unprotected women are not insulted in this house." he replied, and he sprang at Robert. grasped him by the coat collar and with skillful twist laid him over one knee and before that young gentleman knew what was hap pening was belaboring him with his riding whip which he carried in his hand.
 Presently Arthur arose and gave his victim a shove.
 Now get out of this" he com manded, land If I ever hear of such doing in this house again I'll make heap more trouble for you"
 As Robert retired in disorder. mutt tering threats of vengeance, Arthur turned to the girl and said: Its a shame, Myra-disgraceful For the family I want to apologize. If father or mother knew of it they would be deeply hurt, but I trust they will not know of 1t, for Rob has caused | them anxiety enough already" They will not hear of 1t from me, MT. Breton," replied the girl. And,
 sir. want to thank you for your chiv- | alrous conduct. I suppose 1 WAS un-
 duly frightened. but 1t was the first
 time was ever subjected to such treatment, and I-I-perhaps 1t alarm ed me unduly."
 The man glanced at her sharply Her conversation and bearing seemed rather out of place. He noted the refine ment of her features and-what he already had observed-her beauty. If he makes you any more trouble let me know he said, and went down stairs. From then on the elder brother saw much of "Myra." There was something about her which puzzled and interested him.
 He found many opportunities to speak to her and draw her out. The wealth of intellect he uncovered startled him. She was guarded and betrayed as little of her education as possible. but he could not fail to note | the delicacy of her nature and the depth of her spirituality. He found himself becoming more and more in- l terested and not many days had passed before he was seeking her from motives of interest instead of curiosity. Then he began to look forward to chats with her and to chafe at the conditions | which made it difficult to arrange even few moments of conversation. Hang the conventionalities of so- ciety which say I cannot sit down and enjoy an evening with a young woman
