1essness at the Tackman House but for the last six
months he had relieved the monotony of workaday
life by almost nightly visits to the Bemis homestead
He had eaten frequently and heartily of their not
in runabout every fair Sunday. and escorted her
numerous occasions to the opera house, and had
been her logical partner at the midwinter bachelor
ball, Hazenville's most select social event In a
word, he had courted Angela to the exclusion of all
other possible su1tOrs and in the eyes OF the world
of Hazenville and the Bemis family he should be
engaged to Angela, and as his fathers son they
pected him to make good.
This idea had been growing constantly in his mind
for many days, and, having at last assumed the
aspect of ugly but perfectly developed truth he
had on the previous night proposed and been ac-
cepted by the undisputed belle of Hazenvle.
He quite conscious of the fact that at least
in the eyes of his family he altogether too young
to marry; that Angela Bemis not the girl his
mother and father would have picked out their
daughter; and that his dear sister in all prob
ability would not recognize her at all. In word,
Angelas type of mind, well as beauty mi ht be
described as fluffy. Her interests had always
reverted to the daintly tinted note paper sold
the counter of her fathers emporium, rather than
to the book department of the same establishment.
This, however, it must be understood, detri-
ment to the girl in the eyes of her native town, for
the good people of Hazenvle left off literature at the
conclusion of their school and did not take
it up again until they sufficiently advanced in
years to join the Higher Thought Class and read
Moliere and Schopenhauer.
At Hazenville girls duty in life between the ages
Of let say, seventeen and tWenty-seven was to
marry we'll as she could: and certainly none had
more splendid opportunities than Angela Bem1s
who was easily accounted the most beautiful, the
quickest at reparee, and the best dresser in the
whole village AS matter of history, had it not
been for the attentions of Herbert HaZen, Miss
Bemis would probably have been no less person
than Mrs Julius Club long before this. For over

Hazen starting for New York at midnight he
would call that evening to ask for her hand formally
glad tidings when Molly, the serving maid was in the
kitchen: but when Molly returned it was quite evil
dent, even to her dull intellect, that something of
little import had taken place during her absence

Bemis girls were gggling audibly, and the head OF
the house hiding most radiant smile behind
a copy of The Hazenvile Times
1t SO happened that that very morning Bem1S had
received a bill for six pairs of satin shoes bought
mined to speak to the young woman most severely
before he started for the book store Before break
fast pairs of satin shoes occurred to Bemls as
tragedy; but now he only smiled at the thought as
petty feminine extravaganza. 10 be sure, there
were the five younger Bemises to be shod; but even
that seemed trifing responsibility in the face of
the marriage of Angela and the son OF the Halfhose
King.

Mrs Bemis, with little tremor in her voice, adj
mitted that she believed it was, and. to chorus of
rose and, walking behind Angela, stopped over and
gave her such kiss she had not given anyone for
many long dav. Angela's face bearned fairly
ruddy with bushes. and the happest meal the
Bemises had owed for a great while broke UP
with the air fairly charged with the spirit of
content.

that in small towns there is usually daughter in

with bullying pocketbooks any soubrette at
present on the New York stage.
A Nd now the year of probation had passed, and
Hazen had followed his fathers adviCe,-t is,
far as sticking to his knitting concerned-and
he had in consequence received the joyful parental
permission to return to the million dollar marble
home on Riverside Drive and enjoy in modified
form the delights of the great city. He had that

Jackman House, where he had starved for one long
year; and had packed his trunk for home and
bought his ticket for the destination. Once
more in his imagination he felt his hand the

But before the goal of his excessive happiness

Angela, and, it was generally
admitted. was about to lay
his all at the feet of the village
belle. when young Hazen let
down a bar on his high resolves
and at once became a most
formidable rival to the paying
teller. And, after all, what
properly brought up young
woman could turn her cold,
dimpled shoulder on the only
son of the mills to which the
town owed it's very existence,
even it's name?
For six months the love of
the two young people ran freely
and happily enough; while it
must be said for Julius Club.
that, though ignored by the
entire Bemis family and with
his love joked at by half the
town, he went on paying out
money with as jaunty and
smiling an air as if the money
was his very own.
This, and more, it was that
poor young Hazen ruminated
upon the last night in the home
of his fathers greatness. He
knew that he had been a fool;
that even if Angela did like
New York, New York would
not like Angela; and that from
every conceivable viewpoint
Julius Club was the only logi-
cal candidate for the girls life
mate. But Angela was his
affianced wife. and it remained
only to go through the usual
perfunctory conversation with
Father Bemis and the sly
rumor would become horrible
truth and be flashed broadcast
over the entire country. He

DETTMAN ACQUITTED,
PLEA OF SELF DEFENSE

Fairfax. s. d.. May 8. - The jury in
the Dettman murder case returned a
verdict Of acquittal after being out less
than three hours and the decision was
greeted with applause. The Jury took
two ballots, the first resulting in IL
Tor acquittal and one for conviction.
The evidence in the case showed
that the killing of Taylor by Dettman
grew out of prior trouble, that both.
parties had made d~erogatory remark
about each other, that the defendant
went to the back door OF the pool han
and called Taylor out that Taylor
struck Dettman on the head with a
revolver, that a struggle ensued and
that coming to a box Dettman
stumbled n fell and that TAYLOR
landed on him, and that Dettman
warned him to desist or he would shoot
nlm 2 Amos immediately fired with
fatal result. Sympathy has been with
Dettman from the time of the killing
n the verdict is satisfactory.

Sioux Falls, 8. D., May s.--Informa-
ton has been received here to the effect
that Mrs. Julia Ann O'Grady, who some
months ago was arrested on the charge
of having shot and killed her aged hus-
band at the o'Grady home, north of
Sioux Falls, has become insane and has
been placed in an insane asylum in
Oklahoma. Advices to this effect came
to w. l.. Baker, OF this city, who a few
months ago was appointed guardian OF
Mrs. O'Grady.
When Mrs. O'Grady. soon after her
arrest on the charge OF murder. last
fall, conveyed all her worldly posses
sions to an attorney who now resides in
Sioux Falls, II was claimed by her
friends that she was not in her right
mind, and this contention now has been
sustained.
Some weeks ago the case against
Mrs. O'Grady was dismissed on motion
of States Attorney Orr, because Of in
sufficient evidence to convict. Soon
after h case against her was dis

emu barracks, crowded with people
from the sluIns.
OF all the spectacular performances
to attract the sinful, this attempt out
classed all previous efforts, as Captain
Trevet intended It should. Captain
Trevet, In the garb of a corpse, headed
the procession, while the band, instead
of playing up to date tunes, rendered
mournful funeral dirges. Behind the
captain followed six men carrying a
coffin on which was a large silver plate.
The whole scene suggested funeral pro-
cessions of medieval days.
A asst crowd followed I o the bar

remained on the street than could find
places inside the hall. Captain Trevet
said he had ~inaugurated the somber
show to impress IN the giddy and gay
what the future has In store for them.
