Columbia, KY.
My Dear Old Friend
/ am trying to arrange my affairs, so
that can run down to Columbia for a
few days, during my vacation. l want
to look after mothers grave, and press
the hands of the few who are left, who
have the same blood coursing through
their veins, that l have; also the hands
of those dear old friends of my boy
hood days-to fish once more in the
''long hole'' and at the ''big rock,' to
drink from the old "spout spring." on
the hill, and to visit all the familiar
scenes that were so dear to me in child
hood days. Many times during the
years gone by has my mind reverted
to dear old Columbia. | have often
pictured you, John Frank Triplett,
Judson Jones, Scott Walker, Jim Page
and others, sitting out in front of
Bakers old Hotel, feet cooked up on the
puncheon waiting for the bell to sound
the coming of the stage and the stir
and hustle attending the arrival of that
stage, this and other pictures often
come into my mind.
/ had planned to take my wife, the
daughter who lives at Louisville, and
her child out there for stay of two or
three weeks this summer, but this had
to be changed on account of the health
of that daughter. She came up here
about weeks ago for treatment and a
change She is getting along so nicely
the doctor says it would be wrong to
take her back during the extreme warm
weather you Southerners have in July
and August So they will remain here
until fall at which time our daughter,
who lives in Colorado will be on, and
all, then will go to Louisville. 1t will
be impossible for me to go then, as our
courts open up in Sept, and can't get
away. So will have to make my trip
alone. If nothing happens l will be in
your town about July 25th. Remember
me to all inquiring friends.
Your Friend,
I. Milt Dohoney.

With an oath Trent struck at his ri.

and the next instant Paul had Trent
by the collar. Dragging him away
from the gangpank, he gave orc ers for

The three started at the sound of

an effort to slip from his captors and
spring aboard the steamer which was
already slipping past the dock
Crosby's grasp prevented the move,
and Paul and Kate looked with aston.
ishment at the suit case which had
been broken open when struck by the
gangplank and forced against a post.
1t was packed solid with greenbacks

One glance at Trents face showed
the constable's surnise to be correct
and. with little cry, Kate swayed and
fell into Pauls arms.
Rapidly he bore her into the tiny
Office. shutting out the crowd of Gu
rious citizens, who thereupon followed
Crosby and his prisoner toward the vii
