Austin, Tex, Feb. 23-The legislative
investigating committee concluded its
work If examining witnesses to-day and
appointed a subcommittee To go through
the evidence and expunge such parts as
were not pertinent to the charges that

by Judge J. J. Johnson, Of st. Louis. at

fore the committee and testified that he

Joined in the work. The county
in Pennsylvania from which the
missing man came rose in fierce
wrath over his loss. Forty men
were sworn in as special con
stables, armed themselves, and
came down on horseback, to our
village, a posse cOmitdtHS, re
solved to find Wolfenden, alive
or dead. He had been known
to two or three of our citizens.
The Pennsylvanians assumed
them to be the murderers; their
houses were searched by the
foreign police force; every closet
was ransacked, every barrel of
vinegar or whisky broken open.
Pistols were drawn.
The whole affair would have
degenerated into a riot, but for
the appearance in the village of
a figure never seen there before.
1t was a pale young woman who
led a child by the hand. She
spoke to no one, but wandered
up and down, peering in at
every door, or stood by the
river, silent, staring at the swift
flowing food. The people were
kindly and generous folk. They
took her and her child into
their homes, and made much of
them, and presently found a
way of support for her. She
never left the village. But when
she was an old woman she would

The Case of a Lawyer

II REMEMBER another disappearance quite as
IL mysterious. A young lawyer named Wolfenden
set out from town in Pennsylvania a business
t-ip TO the South 1t his first long journey from
home, and reckoned by him and his friends as
important as a first voyage to Europe is The
village in Virginia which lived the terminus
of the Old Pike. then the only highway between
the North and the South. Travellers TO the South
arrived in the evening put up al one OF the homely
little inns, and the next morning boarded one of
the steamboats, which piled between the head of the
Ohio and New Orleans. The village quiet,
friendly little place. shut in by hills Almost its
only life was the passing of the strangers.
Wolfenden arrived one evening IN the stagecoach,
and went with the other passengers to an inn, where
he spent the night. His fellow travellers remem-
bered afterward the stories ne told them. and how
CAV and excited he was over the adventure of the
Journey After breakfast he gave his carpetbag to
a Negro TO carry to the boat. remarking that, It
was the first time he had been in slave territory he
would stroll through the town TO see it. He saun-
tered smiling and whistng, down the quiet, peace
ful street.
The boat was to sail at nine o'clock. and the pas
sengers were promptly on board; but Wofenden
did not appear Search made, the boat
and IN the village. but to purpose. That search
went on for weeks The way in which II conducted
