The reader scrubbed on the pad of
paper before him and slipped 1t in the
return envelope. A couple Of days lat
or Miss Celeste read the confirmation
Of her suspicion and bore It In triumph
to her brother IA Nt.4
IA John Noailes came as close to swear
inN nc a woman as he had ever done In
. his iien. hut he checked his temper and
eoieiiniy warned her of the folly Of
giving heed to the charlatans. but even
as he spoke he knew that nothing
would convince her Of Vincent's inno-
cence save the fading Of the ring.
Gradually IT. became noised Hbout
the town that the spirits had told Miss
Noailes that Crawford was thief.
Vincent had not been near the house
since that night, and his apparent
break verified the gossip. 1t began to
look ugly for his prospects when Miss
Noailes was moved to entertain few
friends.
Elvia sat apart from the rest trying
to appear interested in the CONVERSE
ton while her thoughts were with
Vincent when suddenly Miss Celeste
sat up in her chair.
THAT miserable kitten has brought
bone in herer' she cried as an irreg-
ular rattle on the hardwood floor broke
upon their ears. "She Is forever play
ing with bones"
Elvia sprang toward her aunt The
kitten was one Vincent had given her
and for that reason disliked by Miss
Celeste. Just as they turned to the
heavy cabinet under which tho kit
ten was playing Shah bounded out
from under the low setting cabinet in
pursuit of his plaything.
Elvia's startled cry scared him, and
he scampered off, abandoning his toy.
Elvia bounced upon It.
'Do you remember that Shah was
playing in here that nlghtT she cried.
"Thls Is what he was playing with
She held up jeweled circle. 1.-THE
ring dropped on the floor, and the
sparkle of tho diamond attracted Shah
As long as he was on the rug we did
not hear him. He must have knocked
1t under the cabinet. Nellie never

caught.up light cane and poked I'M

out showed that the ring could easily
have lain there since Its loss.

forward. II guess I'll call up Vincent"
an call him." volunteered Elvia.
| Il guess that you had better, daugh-
ter" he laughed. "You can promise
anything II he Will come over"
Elvia's promise must have been at
tractivc, for Crawford borrowed an au-
tomobile to come In, and after Miss
Celeste had humbled herself to an
apology John Noales Insisted that that
ring be the engagement one.

Washington, D. C.-Lieut Col Chas.
G.. Ayres, 14th cavalry, has been
placed on the retired list of the army
on the finding of a retiring board that
he is incapacitated for active duty
on account of disability incident to
the service.
The real cause for the retirement of
Ayres Is his action in criticising the
secretary Of war, several army officers
and the courtmartial system of the
army. This criticism was the direct
result of the "overcoat incident" at
the West Point Military academy,
which drew Mrs. Ayres into a con-
troversy with the officers Of the aca-
denny.
Last Easter the cadets gave a ball.
The weather was cold, and the cadets
loaned their overcoats to the young
women who attended the ball. The
commandant of cadets directed the
cadets to take their overcoats from
the girls on the ground that it was
violation Of the rules of the academy
to loan them.
MIS- AyIGS lOOh INC part Vi IH6
cadets, and criticised the officers of
the academy. The controversy became
so warm that Secretary Taft directed
Lieut. Col. Ayres to keep his wife away
from the military reservation.
An interview credited to Ayres was
published. The Objectionable critic
isms were contained in this interview.
Ayres was called on by the war de-
partment to state whether the inter-
view was correct, or whether he was
responsible for it. Then Acting Sec
rotary oliver ordered Ayres before
retiring board which found Ayres
health was not good and recommend
ed his retirement.
This recommendation was adopted
when the order was issued placing
Ayres on the retired list He will draw
three-quarters pay, but will not be ad-
vanced one grade, as he did not serve
in the civil war.

New York, N. Y.-A. II. Hummel,
who Is serving year on Blackwells
island was seen recently by a report
er in the prison hospital ward. It is
doubtful if Hummel's former acquaint-
ances would recognize this man in
stripes. There were tears in his eyes
and his voice choked with emotion as
he greeted the reporter, who had
known him for 20 years
Much has been related about the
pull this man enjoys in the penten-
tiary, of the favors that are showered
upon him. There is not a word of
truth in all that.
Hummel was attired exactly like
every other prisoner in the hospital
ward.
Hummel seems to have grown stout.
His face appears swollen, his eyes are
of peculiar hue, and his face has
prison pallor He looks anything but
a well man.
while he is not dangerously ill.,"
said Warden Fallon, 81 don't think he
is fit to do any kind of labor"
Hummel appeared to be more of a
nervous wreck than anything else.
There are those constantly with him
who say they would not be surprised
If he broke down completely.

Atlanta, Ga.-Rarely, if ever before,
in the history of Georgia have such
scenes of excitement been witnessed in
legislative halls as have marked the
effort to pass the state prohibition bill
by the house July "a.
All day the fight waged and a hlibus-
tering minority prevented action on
the bill which was adopted by the SEN
ate more than a week ago.
Hundreds of men, women and chill
dren thronged the galleries of the
house and the halls of the capitol all
day Women singing and waving flags
added to the excitement. The women
of several Atlanta churches prepared
luncheons for the legislators and sery-
ed them in the capitol.
Late at night the prohibition bill had
not been reported.
Following the regular order of bus
mess of the house, in which motions
to reconsider precede the orders Of
the day a motion to reconsider the
bill abullshing the city court of Ham
ilton was brought up, and on this
subject every tactic known to parlia-
mentary law was brought into SER
vice.

Bitten and Kicked by Horse.

Quincy, Mass.-Mrs Ira Litchfield of
Pearl street, one of the best known
residents of South Quincy, was severe
ly injured by horse in the barn at.
tached to her home recently. Her hus-
band had bought new horse the day
before and Mrs. Litchfield, who is a
lover of animals, went to the stall to
feed the animal, as she was accus-
toned to do with the old horse.
She had just reached the manger
when the horse turned his head and bit
her on the right arm. Though severe
ly injured Mrs. Litchfield did not get
excited, but coolly grabbed the horse
by the tongue and held it firmly in
order to prevent him from biting her
again before she could get out of the
stall. While she was backing away
and holding the animals head at arms
length the horse gave her q vicious
kick and sent her sprawling on the
barn floor. She was badly hurt by the
kick but managed to make her way in
to the house, where she was attended
by physician. She is not dangerous
ly injured.

Hamilton, Maes-AIrs. Frederick

dent last Thursday.
She was riding a new horse which
was very ballly, and when the horse
started to run across the field he kick
ed up and became so wild that Mrs.
Winthrop was unable to control the
animal. She was thrown head fore
most from the horse, landing on her
head and face. She was picked up in
a semi-consclous condition and taken
to her house.
Then it was perceived that she had
sustained very serious injuries and lit
tie hope was entertained for her.
Nevertheless she made plucky fight
and really seemed to improve for a
time, but later she began to sink.
Among the townspeope there is
much grief at the untimely death Of
Mrs. Winthrop, Her relatives were at
the bedside when she passed away.

REPORT FILED.
Naval Inquiry Board Submits It's Find.
lnas on Georgia Accident.

ings on Georgia Accident.
Washington, D. C.-The report OF
the naval board which investigated
the accident in the after superimposed
turret Of the Georgia has just been
received at the navy department Ad-
miral Evans indorsed the findings and
recommendations of the board and
transmitted them to the department.
Acting Secretary Newberry said
that the telegraphic conclusions to the
effect that the accident was caused
by a delayed bareback apparently af-
forded all the inforation on this sub
ject that would be of interest to the
public.
However, he had had no opportunity
to study the details of the findings, but
expected to hear further on that point
from Capt. Nicholson, acting chief of
the navigation bureau, and Comman-
der Sims, the naval expert on target
practice, after they had thoroughly
did not care to say anything as to the
nature of the recommendation made
by the board looking to an avoidance
OF similar accidents in the future.
1t Is understood that the board did
not clear up one important point
namely the condition of the air blast
at the breech of the gun, which is
supposed to eject the after results of
the explosion of a charge 1t had been
reported that the first persons to enter
the turret of the Georgia after the ac-
cident found the air blast in full OPP
GRAFTON, blowing through the breech of
the gun, in which case it would have
been difficult to have accounted for
flare back.
In fact the report does not show the
condition of the air blast at all after
the explosion of the powder.
Such recommendations as are made
by the board of corrective character
will require the approval Of the secre-
tary of the navy to give them effect.
They do not contemplate a reduction
of the rate of fire so far as can be
gathered, and it is believed that fur
ther expert investigation will be re-
quired to devise effective means of
safeguarding the turret guns against
this kind of accident
