Mortimer could bear the scene no longer, although
he was mistaken in the course he had mapped. 1t
struck him strange that this should be So Often
afterward as the scene came back to him he would
wonder at it. So he rose and said:
Your advice and mine are the same Mrs. Garlic

be right this time" She turned and kissed him. In

then turned and followed Mortimer from the room.
Alone the Governor sat for a long time with his
head in his arms. The last light of day faded and
the coal fire in the CRATE lit the room and presently
he turned and faced it. 1t bright, cheerful
fire that sputtered ndustriously, and it took him
back to the days of his youth.
He had been born in the south of the State, among
the coal fields. His father was miner there His
mother was a laboring woman. He remembered
now the passionate longing that each had had that
their boy might be educated, that he might escape
the ptiful life of toll that had been their lot. He
remembered how they saved and st1ntcd themselves
that he might have books, and how those books had
helped. Gradually there arose before him the morn
ing that he had left home for his the north
His mother had taken his hands in her own,
with toll, and made him promise that, when he had
become great and famous man, his strength
would be used for uplifting the poor, that his life
would be used to tighten their sufferings Well,

was the punishment for his crime, and he would

When the latter entered he found the Governor
writing at his table.

Peters, Lawrence, and Walker as a committee to
investigate the railroad affairs
The secretary started. Governor" he ex-

When the day broke the Governor still sat at his

there. At last there came timid knock at the

not speak but silently made wav for her to pass him

GAR PAUL anticipated the of his death
~ several days before his assassination. He

planned that he felt though he being stranged
to death by drapery being wound tight around his
throat
An aged English barrister moved by some strange
impulse did not drink his usual bottle of wine before
retiring, because he believed that it poisoned.
His servants had been in his employment for thirty
years, and he had never had any reason to dstrust
them, but he raising his glass to his lips he
suddenly felt a strange sense of impending evil
sweep over him. and then like flash was born the
thought that the wine poisoned. He did not
drink it, and examination showed that his
picion correct.
A strange story is told of the presentment of
Sheppard the actor When he boy his mother
called him to her death bed and gave him an old
gold watch which had been the property of the
family for years. He had hardly taken the ghttering
bit of mechanism in his hands when an unaccount-
able shudder passed through him and he felt
though he was receiving of i'll fortune.
For many years he carried that watch without
anything happening, and then one day while he was
playing at the National Theater in Philadelphia fire
broke out He escaped from the burning building,
but when he reached the street remembered that
he had left the watch lying on his dressing table
He plunged back through the stage entrance toward
his dressing room
They found his charred remains in the hallway
with the Hateful watch in his pocket
