that | should protect you for the
present. Come in here with me-
He did not wait for me to con-
sent. He fairly lifted me from the
ground into the blackness and Sc
clusion of the cottage. 1t was all
done in less time than it takes to
tell. A moment later l heard my
husband go raging down the road,
and then | knew that my life was
saved. Mind you, it was altogether
too dark to see my rescuer.. 1t
would have been imprudent to
strike a light l stayed for some
little time until l regained my
composure, after which / made up
my mind to return home again. 1t
would never do for people to think
that a Descarti was coward, and,
besides, there were other Econsid
erations. I would go back home
again and give my husband one
more chance, especially as had a
friend in the house in the person
of Luigi Silva, who had followed
me on my marriage.
AT the same time | did not for
get the dictates of prudence. 1t
might be still necessary for me to
seek an asylum, and my instinct
told me that | could trust the man
by my side. On the spur of the
moment l implored him to take
care of my jewels for me. He de-
INJURED for a time on the score that
he was a perfect stranger to me,
then, finally he consented, as the
same time taking from his pocket
a card, which he said contained his
name and address. And thus we
parted, never to meet again till
that fatal night we came together

sadly. Nothing could be incredible

your jewelry to a perfect stranger
whose face you had never seem
Indeed I did. And we should
never have known one another
even if we had met. I went back
to the villa, and afterwards we re
turned to our estate. But it was
not for long. A month or two later
my husband was found dead in
bed, and it was proved beyond
question that he had been poison
ed. Then began a time for me-a
time of terror and anxiety so great

the fact one day that my means

that l fed straight away, as soon

that all those years | never saw a

strange longing to go into the
world and see what life was like
once more. Besides, there was my

cried. This is the first time you

A seman.s Complexion.

1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greasiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or focal treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. !" The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifes the
complexion 1t also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia

Fooled. Old Jowett.

Once when Professor Jowett was
visiting his friend and pupil, Pro
fessor Sellar, he declared that he
never gave to beggars. Mrs. Sellar
was an adept in ''mystifications," all
accomplishment popular in Scotch
society since Sir Walter SCOTS
time. She disguised herself as a
poor highland woman and waylaid
her husband and Jowett at cross
road, begging unfortunately and
telling her tale Of woe so piteously
that Jowett at last said: "Poor
thing! She seems very miserable.
Give her half crown" Seliar said
he had no money with him, and be-
fore the aims were forthcoming the
secret was triumphantly unveiled.

that made him succeed as q teacher.
When the organization of his regi-
ment was complete it was sent into
Kentucky to repel the Kirby Smith
raid He was made ordnance officer
on General Judas staff when, as he
admitted, he didn't know a blank
cartridge from loaded one. His first
assignment of duty was to conduct a
wagon train of arms and ammuni7
ton to a Kentucky regiment twenty
Eve miles in the interior. This he did
With satisfaction to his superiors.
IN these first weeks of service he
studied every available text book on
the art, and science of war and he
rapidly became proficient as an Off
Ger
When the colored regiments were
organized by Rosecrans, Corbin was
made Major in the first Of them at
tached to the Army of the Cumber-
land The regiment was in battle or
on the march for every day Of five
months following the fight with
Hood at Decatur, and Corbin was
made Lieutenant Colonel and then
Colonel. He was brevetted Brigadier
General, and then, on the recon-
mendation of Gen. George II
Thomas, was put in the regular army
as Second Lieutenant in the Seven
teenth Infantry. General Grant sub
sequently conferred on him the brew
ct of Major for gallant service in the
action at Decatur, and little later
the brevet of Lieutenant Colonel for
gallant service in the battles of Nash

General Corbin saw service in the
'Fenian invasion" trouble on the
Canadian border. He was in Mis-
souri, in the reconstruction period,
when disorders were many. He went
to Texas to join Sheridan, who was
assembling an army on the Rio
Grande to prevent Macmillan from
establishing an empire in Mexico.
Then came an overland march
through Knsas, in which one-fourth
of his regiment was lost in a cholera
epidemic. He participated in opera
tons against the Apaches in New
Mexico.
During ten years of frontier SER
vice he marched on foot from Mis-
souri, to the Rio Grande and from
the headwaters of the Rio Grande to
its mouth. In 1876 he was ordered
East to go on recruiting service, and
ON his way back to civilization he
spent his first night in a sleeping car.
General Corbin's tactfulness was
brought into play in the legislation
which followed the war with Spain,
reorganizing the army and establish
ing it on its present plane. To him
is also given the credit for the recon
struction of West Point at cost of
sour and a half millions. When
President Mckinley believed the
time had come to establish the civil
government in the Philippines he
sent General Corbin as his personal
representative to impress upon the
army the Importance of harmonious
relations between the old military
regime and the new civil govern
ment. 1t was delicate task and was
accomplished to the satisfaction Of
she President.

HEAD OF UNCLE SANS ARMY.
How General Corbin Organized
Company for the Civil War.

From the time he recruited his
first company by getting all of Murat
Halstead's printers to leave their
work in The Cincinnati Commercial
Office to fight for the Union until to-
day Lieutenant General Henry c.
Corbin who has just been nom1-
mated Lieutenant General, has been
wherever there was scrimmage or
the prospects of one with the Stars
and Stripes in the field.
The Corbins were Virginians, the
great-grandfathe of the Lieutenant
General having served his country as
4 soldier during the War of the
Revolution. The family left Virginia
and were among the pioneers of
Ohio, where, on farm, Henry c..
Corbin was born and raised Between
the many duties of farm life for
strong youngster he managed to
equip himself for the profession of
teaching, and began this work when
he was Is. He had advanced in his
profession when Lincoln's second
call for troops, in 1861, made him
determine to offer his services to the
Union. It was then that he cleaned
out The Cincinnati Commercial shop
in order to get his quota for his
Second Lieutenancy in the vOlun-
teers.
Young man. said the editor
when he met Corbin the next day,
do you know that you have closed
out our paper?"
But Halstead bore him no malice,
and only asked that if he had any
men over the quota necessary that he
credit them to his brother Benton, a
recruiting Lieutenant.
Young Corbin knew nothing about
the profession Of arms when he be-
gan with the Sevanty-ninth Ohio, but
he went after knowledge in this pro-
fession with the same determination
