"One afternoon not long ago a very
handsome young woman came to my
office and asked for telegraph form

age:

again,
She paid for the message, and then
she asked in tremulous voice how
soon it would go.
In half an hour, ma am / replied.
She went away, but in ten minutes
she was back again
Have you sent that message of
mine?' she said
No, ma am, not yet

young woman.
II returned it, though that was
against the rule, and she altered it
SO that it read:

back
"Then she went away again, but
this time she was hardly gone five
minutes.
That message of mine---it hasn't
been sent yet, has it.? she asked.
No; not yet
Il handed her the message, and the
strange creature tore it up and wrote
this in it's place
Dearest, come home. All is for

Boise, Oct. 5.-It is stated that Dar- row, the Chicago attorney who defend ed Haywood in his recent trial, is dy- ing from abcess on the brain, caused by oyerwork in his efforts on Hay woods behalf. He has undergone an operation which was successfully per formed, but there is little, if any, hope for hls recovery. He had been acting queerly for some time, and the continuation of his ailment accounts for some of the peculiar and otherwise unaeountable actions credited to him since the trial, particularly the Spo- kane incident where he put his wife to shame, and brought reproach upon himself.
