and out She meant to wait until
Uncle Joe appeared, then lay hold on
him and prefer her humble petition.
Now she wished desperately that she
had not come It is a question, indeed,
whether she would not have welcomed
Johnny Magee and his loremaking as
deliverance could he have happened
upon her then and there
The minutes went leadenly, each one
seeming an hour Presently she
heard twelve strokes of the clock and
saw men begin to straggle out, putting
on greatcoats as they went. A grin
ming Office boy said to her:
IF you amt got a date with the
boss" nodding toward the inner Of
fee, "better make one and come again.
Seer Then she heard a clerk say to
an inquirer over the telephone, Mr.
Hedding is out; won't be back till 8
o'clock
Are you sure?' Peggy ventured,
touching the mans arm lightly. He
smiled and nodded half insolently
Peggy turned from him, biting her lip
AS she went blindly toward the door a
young man, somewhat hook nosed and
very red Tipped, came from the inner
Office, started at sight Of her, then hur-
ried up to her, asking suavely how he
might serve her. Inside Of a minute
he knew everything and stood looking
down and pulling his mustache
thoughtfully, but almost instantly
frightened, saying she must follow Mr..
ledding; nothing easier. The boy
should fetch cab, and he himself
would give directions. Might he ven
ture to meet Miss Lester? Delighted
TO serve a relative of his old friend
Hedding. Between sentences he had
been hurrying Peggy out and away,
and at the last of them he was hud.
ding her into waiting cab.
Something happened then, Just how
Peggy never understood. A plain faced
young man, who had glanced at her
pityingly as she passed into the private
Office, somehow rose up from the pave
ment and sent the red Tipped gentle
man away in something of panic.
He's not fit to speak to any decent
girl the deliverer explained as he
took Peggy back to her place Of wait
ing. The deliverer said no more to her
instead there was lively buzzing of
telephones and some guarded talk over
wires. AS result of it Peggy was
sent in charge of the office boy ,1p to
her Uncle Johns house. She STAYED
there week and went home with all
the money she would take-a deal
more than she had thought of asking
for.
Even that was not all. She knew
the fairy prince was coming to see her
IN her own rural surroundings before
very long. She knew further that he
was as rich as he was modest and
clean minded, the sort Of real fairy
prince that every girl longs for. OF
course he came, and equally of course
next year they We're married. Johnny
Magee was nightly upset that all
things turned out so we'll until he mar
ried the faithful Sally Job. Then he
thought of his escape from Peggy as
merciful deliverance.

statement By Mr.. Bywaters.

B. F. Bywsters, father of William F.
Bywaters, who was shot and killed 10
December at CuIpeper by Philip and
James Strother, after he had hastily
married their sister, Viola Sirother, has
issued statement to the public In de-
tense of his sons memory.
s'My son went to his death shielding
the reputation of Miss Viola Strother,"
he says. ''Though fully conscious for
twenty -four hours Of the danger in which
he stood in respect to her brothers, he
faced that danger alone and unhnching-
IL rather than confide to any member OF
bis family or friend story which 80 in-
volved her good usme".
The aged father brings out many facts
which were excluded at the trial ia
which the Strother brothers we're &C.
quilted, aud declares that his son he'd
announced his intention OF marrying
Miss Strother 10 January. Hes,ys that
many cruel aud utterly false statements
10 regard to his son have been circulated,
and in the end bis family were denied
the privilege of bringing into court any
evidence to prove his general good char
ac.er or honest intent IN his marriage.

Anxiety ia Paris.

, Paris, May L. A call for mass
meeting Of all strikers to be held late
today has made labor day one of dread
to sll Paris. While the forenoon passed
without disorders, there was general
fear that there would be serious trouble
when the strikers met for their deliber-
alton in the strike situation. Streets are
constantly patrolled by police cavalry.
In their armories thousands Of troops
were kept under arms to be rushed TO
any danger point. Along in the early
afternoon workmen, including many
strikers, began gathering in the Place
Republique. Agitators among them
tried to incite disorders and the police at
once got busy. Many arrests we're made
at this point and in other parts CT the
city. An official estimate of the arrests
placed the number at $50.
Paris, May IAN American named
Law, who attempted to kill a soldier at
the Palace Republique, during the Labor
Day demonstrations today, was shot
and, it is believed, fatally injured.

St. Louis, May 1.-If the experiment
tai balloon "America," which rose from
the ground here at 7.20 p. N. yester-
day, assembled much further than the
altitude at which it was sailing when
last sighted from st. Louis, likely it is
travelling in the direction in which
the aeronauls wished to go east
ward. Weather Forecas!er Bowie
stated this morning that the wind, which
caught the airship and bore it away
into the clouds, is still from the north,
but that the upper currents are of east
erly tendency, and should the great
balloon be caught in them 1t will be pro-
PEELED toward the Atlantic ocean on the
voysge which was undertaken to break
the long distance record.

st. Louis on the Mississippi river. The
aeronauts are badly out of their course,

Proposed Present to Pope.

Richard G. Kerens, a st. Louis
churchman, capitalist and politician, is
named in a cablegram from Rome as the
leader in a movement of vast political
and ieligious import. Its object is by
the purchase of an immense tract OF
Italian land to add a strip of sea coast
to the Vatican gardens, now the narrow
prison of Pope Plus y.
The plan of Mr.. Kerens and his asso-
ciates, all American Catholics of means,
is, it is stated, to buy narrow tract of
land siyty-fye miles long, from the Vat
lean to OiVita Vecchia (old city, on the
Mediterranean coast, to inclOse and
beautify this land, aud pres eut it to the
Pope as an addition TO his present tiny
temporal domain.
at is a tomb you have given me, "
the Pope said to his brother cardinals,
when on July morning in 1903 they
crowded about him to congratulate him
on what seemed to them all the greatest
triumph of his life. The tapping waters
of Venice cannot be brought TO Rome,
but the zeal of Mr.. Kerens and his assO-
ciates has seen way by which that
other and broader sea, the Mediterran-
can, may be Brought to the Pope. 1t is
for this purpose that the purchase OF the
strip of land leading to Civi:a Yecchia
is projected. The initial cost, it is stated,
would exceed 81, 100000. Martin Ma
louey, wealthy Philadelphia Catholic,
is named in cablegrams as an associate
of Mr.. Kerens in the enterprise.

Iabor Conditions in New York,

New York, May With labor prac-
tically satisfied with conditions as they
now exist, the fresh May Day trouble
threatened is a strike Of the first, second
and third officers on seventeen of the
colstwise steamship lines. Conditions
in this city are looked upon today-the
day of industrial strikes-as better than
they have ever been before. The men
in almost sill lines of trade are satisfied
with their wages and hours, the wage
scale having been increased 10 almost
every branch of the skilled trades in the
last few years. The painters in greater
New York are on strike at present for
an increase of so cents day in wages.
Up to the present they have been nn-
successful in their efforts and look for
ward to systematic strikes by other
unions. But it is not believed that they
will receive any material assistance as
far as strikes are concerned from any OF
the other organizations.

A History of the Laurel Brigade and
Turner Ashby Cavalry.


The surviving soldiers of this brigade
will no doubt be gratified to know that
history OF its distinguished services
has been written, aud will look forw ard
with pleasant anticipation for its publ
cation.
At the instance of General Thomas l..
Rosser aud others, history Of the Lau-
rel Brigade name with which be
baptized it after the bsttle of the Will
derness was written by the late Capt.
w. n. Mcdonald, ordnance officer Of
the brigade.
Captain Mcdonald was several years
gathering in the data and writing the
history, which be had about completed,
but unfortunately had not gotten ready
for publication before his lamented
death.
The history is record of the brigade
from its earliest services under the dash
ing leadership of General Turner Ash
BY, to its last charge at High Bridge
under the lamented Deering, and Apo
mattox.
At a meeting Of members OF the brig
ade held in Charles Town, W. Va, on
the 18th of August last, Colonel 4. P.
Chew, Major Edward II. Mcdonald,
Major Angus Mcdonald aud Bushrod
G. Washington we've appointed a com
mittee to provide for the publication Of
the history.
Major Agnns Mcdonald was made
permanent chairman OF the committee
and treasurer of the fund to be raised
for the purpose.
Bushford G. Washington was selected
to revise and prepare the book for pub
LEGATION aud raise the necessary fund.
Mr.. Washington has the work well in
hand aud in few weeks will put it in
the hands of publisher. But it is the
intention to Include complete muster
roll of each company in the brigade,
with the name aud address OF surviving
members, and names of all killed, wound
ed, or who died of disease and in prison.
1t is the hope Of the committee OF
publication that the book shall contain
the record of every soldier who served
in this distinguished command.
For that reason all surviving men,
bers are requested to communicate as
DON as possible With Mr.. B. @. Wash
ington, Lock Box 46 Charles Town, w.
Va, and to send in muster rolls ofcom-
panies if possible.

cars have stopped and transportation
facilities are of the worst. Meat mark

Ir HAS often been observed that
wherever white men go their good and
bad examples bear fruit. 1t took the
North American Indians less time to ac-
quire an appetite for whisky than it did
to imbibe the principles set forth by the
missionaries. The same is true of the
orientals. During the past haif a century
Japan as a result of her intercourse with
Great Britain and The United States,
has repudisted most of her ancient Gus
toms and adopted in measure the mod
