departure Of the woman is the climax
of q love affair which began twenty
years ago In the village Of Pine Bush,
N. Z, where lived Miller, Charles
Smith and Carrie Wells. Playmates
from earliest childhood, Miller and the
GIRL married while In their teens. Now,
with his eleven-year-old daughter and
q SON little older, he sits In his home q
desolate man, clinging to the hope that
before his wife reaches Salt Lake City
she win repent and return to him.
sThen," he says, 1--WE viii 60 to some
new place and start anew. For the
sake Of my children I win do anything.
I: would not, could not, say a word
against my wife. She has always
been true, and II / were not feeling
well she would do anything to make
me comfortable. So have no word
of blame for her, only regret that she
is gone and regret that the story has
gone abroad" 10
When Charles Smith was sixteen he
left Pine Bush and went west He
was engaged to marry Carrie Wells
but her family disliked him and, It Is
said, intercepted his letters to the girl
Finally the girl believed Smith dead:
Two years later she married Miller.
For two months they were In bliss.
Then Smith returned. It was sheck
to the young wife. It Is said that they
had a talk, and she promised Smith
that II ever she had an opportunity she
would Join him.
For. many years the husband knew
nothing Of this. Smith had married,
and his wife died. he came to New
burg and opened meat market To
Newburg also came Miller and his
wife.
After time Smith went west again.
About five years ago Mrs. Miller told
her husband of her love for Smith and
asked Miller then to let her join Smith.
Miller tried to argue his wife out OF
the notion. He was only partly sue
cessful. The conversation was renew
ed at intervals. Finally Miller was
forced to admit that neither he nor
the wife could have any peace Of mind
while she remained, and he reluctant
" consented to her going. To provide
means for her departure he practically
stripped the house Of It's furniture.

Marshal Thomas johnson made an ef-

the negro was arrested and locked up.
At late hour unknown persons forced
an entrance, dragged the negro from

bullets. It was then burned upon a
log fire prepared for the occasion. The

Good Advice.

Stop grumbling. Get up two hours
earlier in the morning and do some
thing out of your regular profession;
Mind your own business and with all
your might let other peoples alone.
Live within your means. Give way
or sell your dog. Go to bed early.
Talk less of your own peculiar gifts
and virtues and more of those OF
your friends and neighbors. Be
cheerful. Fulfill your promises. Pay
your debts. Be yourself all you see
in others. Be a good man and stop
grumbling.
