CHAPTER TX.

For suddenly l saw his eyes widen
and flash with anger and apprehen-
sion. Quick as passing sun-shadow.
his hand swept the candelabrum
from the table He made swift back
ward spring toward the door, but he
was little too late. The darkness
he had created was not intense
enough, for there was still the ruddy
glow from the logs; and the bosom
of his dress-shirt made fine target.
Besides, the eyes that had peered into
the window were accustomed to the
night.
Blang! The glass of the window
shivered and jngled to the floor,
and sharp report followed. The
rogue cried out in fierce anguish,
and reeled against the wall. William
whipped out his revolver but, even
from his favorable angle, he was not
quick enough. The hand that had di-
rected the first bullet was ready to
direct the second.
All this took place within the count
: of ten. The girl and / sat stifily in
1our chairs, as if petrified, it was all
so swiftly accomplished.
Drop it," said cold, authori-
tative voice, and saw the vague out
lines of Haggerty's face beyond the
broken window-pane.
William knew better than to hesi-
tate. His revolver struck the floor
DULY, and curse rolled from his
lips. Immediately a heavy body pre-
cipitated itself against the door, which
crashed inward, and an officer fear
lessly entered, a revolver in each
hand. This tableau, which lasted full
ly a minute. was finally disturbed by
the entrance of Haggerty himself
Don't be alarmed. Miss he said
heartily; its all over. I'm sorry for
the bullet, but it had to be done. The
rascal has nothing more serious than
splintered bone. | am dead shot.

to meet this many a day. l don't
even know who you are yet. Well,
well! well round that up in time" :"
Not till the candles again sputtered
with light, and William was securely
handcuffed and disarmed, did l recol-
lect that possessed the sense of mo-
ton. The smoke of powder drifted
across the Pickering candles, and
there was salty taste on my
tongue.
"Horrible!" cried the girl, covering
her eyes.
The master rogue and his valet
were led out into the assembly-room.
l and we reluctantly followed. l saw
1t all now. When Haggerty called up
central al the club, he ascertained

But you have something infinitely

rogue. Besides. you will need some

disappeared into his pocket. You
will observe that trust you implicitly.

William sniggered.

inquired. The comedy was beginning

minds me to this day of some broken,
fantastic dream, fragment from
some bewildering nightmare.

has been highly appreciated by her de-
nomination as missionary laDorer,
has been at home in this city since the
close of her school, in Manchester,
some weeks ago. Miss Reed is one of
the best dy teachers in the state whose
special fitness in various parts of the
county is thoroughly recognized and ap-
preciated. She has been connected
with mountain schools, in this State, for
several years and her study of the peo-
pie and their environments are of great
value to her as teacher, of the UNTIL

GOOD RECORD In HOGS.-A VALU.
ABLE SOW.

On the first day of last June Mr..
Robt. Tupman. of Cane Valley, sold
Asexen shoats, 8 months old, that brought
him SGT and on the following March
nine shoats, seven months of age for
$134. 40 and now has 10 that will go on
the June market that will weigh out
from $50 to $500, all being the produce
of one SOW of common and mixed breed
ing. Admitting that the ones he now
has will bring 800 on the first day of
June the day on which they will go on
the scales, it will be seen that Mr.. Tup-
man has realized $3O1. 40 from the mar
ketable produce from one sow in exactly
one year. 1t takes good care, plenty of
feed and high prices to accomplish ouch
returns but all these have been in evil

ANOTHER FREAK IN CAT LIVING.

Mr.. c. H. Murrell reports strange
kind of cat that came to his premises
near year ago. While not different
from the average mouser in its general
makeup, yet in its association it mixes
with the feathered tribe and seems to
be on familiar terms with an old white
plymouth rock rooster. They are often
seen playing tUgtaher and are as COM
panionable as if they were both chicks
or kittens. They are often found wal
lowing in the wood dirt together and
playing on the grass like lambs
1t is unexplainable, uncommon, but it
is fact, nevertheless, and can be seen
at Mr.. Murrell'S residence any day the
sunshiGes. If you disbelieve this state
Ment. ask MIR. Murrell, he is of age
and can speak for himself.

An Exhibition of Inventions Not Yet
on The Market, At The James.
town Exposition,

Norfolk, Va. A most interesting fea-
ture of the jamestown Exposition, on
Hampton roads, near Norfolk, Virginia,
which opened April 10Th, and will close
November Both, is the ''Section for in
ventions', in which inventors are invit
ed to display their inventions and
monstrate their value to visitors.
The invitation is open to aiSand every
facility is offered in the way of floor
space, tables, and shelves, advertising
cards and labels, electric currents, gas,
lights, etc. A modest fee of from ten
to not more than thirty dollars except
in very special cases, is charged for
such space and service. The service
includes, as well as the general care of
models, explanations to visitors, and
the return of the exhibit at the close of
the Exposition.
Awards will be made of gold, silver,
and bronze medals and diplomas. That
inventors are alive to this unparalleled
opportunity for making public their Gre
ations, is shown by the fact within
four weeks after the first notices was
sent out by the Bureau of Inventions
of the jamestown Exposition, applica-
