singular. A corner of his hand
kerchief was carefully arranged
to peep from his coat pocket,
and. showing upon the white
background, daugled an end of
& hair.
With marvellous patience he
endured the scrutiny Of the good
lady beside him; her eyes soon
reached his pocket, but a chance
to secure the hair without at
traoting attention did not ar
rive until the sermon began,
when the judge crossed bis arms
and was evidently absorbed in
the eloquent utterances from The
pulpit. A cautiousjerk brought
away a foot of black hair--an
other yank, another foot. There
was little surprise that the
end was not reached-a third
foot came to light, then a pause
to be sure the "hunt' was un-
noticed. A fourth yank, still
no end to that hair. The good
lady was exasperated and yank
five was energetic-still no end.
The thing was like nightmare; a
damp chill came over her, but
she was a courageous and deter
mined American woman-yank
number slx-desperation-talk
about nigh'mare-it was a joke
to this! One more pull and
seven feet of hair was on the
seat between her and the
judge.
1t could not be left there for
the sexton to marvel over, so it
was hastily thrust under the
heavy cover of her hymn book,
while she mopped the perspira
tion from her face and fixed her
eyes in rapt attention on the
face of the minister, devoutly
hoping that the chair hunt" had
been unobserved by the congre-
galion.
Quietly the judges hand slip
ped down to the hymn book-a
moment and the hair was in his
pocket; no matter if it broke
now. The sermon ended, the
ireful lady grasped the book
with relentless grip, holding on
for dear life as she walked home,
connecting scathing sentence to
be uttered in the privacy OF
home-no word of the judges
p cas- SAINT conversation was
heard.
The front door closed behind
them.
William, what did you have
in your coat pocket this morn
ing?'
The judge looked at her with
a questioning and innocent
gaze.
"You had this" she went on
sternly, opening up the cover Of
the hymn book. There was the
hyleaf with the name neatly
written on it-nothing more
absolutely nothing more. She
turned pale and stared blankly
at her husband
"You could not have lost g
speck of dust from that book
coming home, Mary" he grave

the block.
John Russo and r. McCourt watched

Suddenly a northbOuud train came
along and without uttering a sound
he leaped.
There was nothing on the body by
which 1t could be identified. il was

LIFE AND DEATH OF
LATE HENRY AUSTIN
Passing of a Pioneer Citizen of
Lancaster.
Interesting Sketch of His Career and
Tribute to Gentle and Honor
able Character.

THE Lord redeemeth the soul of
his servants; and none of them that
trust in Him shall be desolate. +"
Ps. 81 %.
In the passing of the venerable
Henry Austin, Lancaster loses one
of her oldest and most estimable
citizens. A man without guile, OF
whom it can be truly said, in moral
character and cleanliness of habit
he was faultless. At the age OF
eighty-six years, after more than
half a century a resident, he goes to
his long home, esteemed and Ia
mented by old and young. He was
the soul of honor, model OF
punctuality, and though modest and
undemonstrative, he was strictly
methodical in all he did. And his
clean living, so wisely regulated,
brought him to ripe old age with
sturdy health and faculties unim-
paired. His was the simple life,
yet he was a man of wide intelli
gence, conversant with the best in
