Alterward ] learned many Things

A4'e'" atu learned many things
FIRST, that they had been married very
early that morning, before the rest OF
us were up, in the little chapel at Wye.
with Mrs. Armistead. who was in the
secret, as witness. That explained her
delay In giving me the note. Dresding
my interference. they had not wished
me to know until the whole thing was
well over and Mrs. Armistead back
ut Castle wyckhoff. Second, that 1t
had been the Honorable Agatha's own
idea to play the part Of secretary to
her aunt, thus improving upon her IA
Tiers plan. and making It stiii more
dif1cult for the competing suitors to
discover her identity. Third. that her
reason for telling Vincent that Agatha
Sixth was the real Honorable Agatha
was only to prove him once more and
to the uttermost. And Vincent had
stood the trial without faltering and
had eve proved himself equal to dis
resardinE my wishes. Yet really
thiak that on that night when he had
agreed with me that 1t was best to
give her up he meant to do so. but
his love for the girl proved stronger
than his love for gold or his feeling
for his friend. And II was thus that
the boy won--because he had loved
truly and faithfully.
And ! also learned afterward that
the six Agathas. shortly after the
elopement OF Vincent and the secre.
tary-that-was, had all gone to their
homes In America. Later some OF them
married certain suitors who had once
been guests at Castle wyckhoff. Among
these were Agatha First and young
Brancepeth. who, am happy to say,
has led reformed life since his mar.
riage. And 1t also came to pass that
Vincent and his bride took possession
OF Castle Wyckhoff as their country
seat when they came back from their
honeymoon. And there often visited
| them.
But on that eventual day when the
train had pulled out Of the station
none OF these things was known to
me. and ! stood ON the platform dizzy
with the unexpected turn events had
taken.
And so 1t was that Vincent got
ahead OF me. Just rs he has always
done. And 30 1t was, also, that ! re.
turned to London, still an eligible
bachelor. Sill the prey OF match-ma
king mammas and smiling debutantes
There was but one comforting
thought In the mixture OF disappoint
ment and chagrin that made the sum
OF my feelings as drove slowly bach
to the castle. This much had been
given me. At least had not made the
fatal mistake OF proposing to the
wrong Agatha. and Rugged myself as
thought how near had come to put
ting the question to Agatha Sixth that
very morning. That at least, | had
managed to avoid. From that folly
the innate caution and unerring In.
; stinct OF Archibald Terhune had pre-.
served him. Thank Heaven!

GiIchrist for Governor.

In our announcement columns this
week appears the photo and card OF
General Albert Gilchrist, Of Punta Cor

chine or faction, but is running on his
own personal merit. He is well known
all over the State, having been identi-
fed with the growth of DeSoto county
for many years and been the means OF
helping the educational institutions OF
the State many times. He has served
his county in the legislative halls and
at one time was speaker of the House
of Representatives General Gilchrist
also states that he has never had a
''paying job" from the people, and If
elected Governor will not realize any
thing above living expenses, the balance

REDUCTION IN
WAGES COMING
Curtailment of Working Time
in Cotton Mills Does Not Re-
lieVe the Situation.

Boston, Feb. Authorization re-
ceived here by interests prominently
connected with the cotton manufacture
ing industry indicates gthat the depres-
sion in their line has not been dissi-
pated, and that many manufacturers
still are having difficulty in securing
ready money. In view of these condi-
lions those identified with cotton man
ufacturing now admit that the curtail-
ment of % per cent of the working
time, decided upon about three months
ago, did not entirely relieve the situa-
ton. and they say that a general re-
duction in wages of the operatives
seems inevitable.
1t is claimed that there has been a
falling off in orders of the mills and
that the prices received for cotton cloth
have been declining.
About $4,000 persons are employed in
the cotton mills of New England when
the machinery is in motion.

DECIDED TO DEPORT HER
immigration Authorities Sit in Judg-
ment on Grand Opera Singer
From italy,

New York, Feb. 14.-Miss J. Trabel-
lini, a singer from the La Scala grand
opera house in Milan. Italy, who. she
said, came to this country hoping to
secure an engagement at the Metro
politan or the Manhattan opera house,
will be deported tomorrow. This ac-
ton was decided upon by the immi-
grafton authorities tonight, although
the detailed findings were not made
public The only information avail
able was that the presence of the
singer in this country was considered
undesirable.
Miss Trabellini, white admitting
that she had no friends in the United
States, said that she expected to find
employment, and exhibited $500 in
cash, jewels estimated to be worth
s.. 1000 and bank book showing de-
posts to her credit in an Italian bank
aggregating $500.
The singer had twice been admitted
to this country, but when she arrived
for a third visit, two weeks ago, she
was sent to Ellis island and an inyes-
tigation of her case ordered. She came
as a second-class passenger on the
Cedric and will sail on that steamer
tomorrow.

LESS WAGES EXPECTED.
Sliding Scale in Effect at Fall River
and Other Places.

Fall River, Mass, Feb. 1.-THE semi
official announcement made in Boston
today that a general reduction of wages
in the cotton mills of New England will
probably be made in the near future,
was received with no surprise in this
city. In Fall River the sliding scale
wage system has been in effect for more
than year, and has been an important
factor in harmonizing the relations be-
tween manufacturers and operatives.
The agreement between the manufac-
turers' association and the textile cOun-
ell is based upon the average margin
between the cost of cotton in the New
York market and the selling price of
standard print cloths, the agreement be-
ing renewed at the end of six months,
the last agreement having been made
November II, 1907. Since then the mar
gin has steadily fallen off, indicating
that the $4,000 operatives in the asso-
citation mills here will receive less wages
in the spring
The Fall River system affects directly
only the mills in this city, East Taunton
and one or two other places.
Many of the wooden mills of New
England, it is said, will make similar
reduction. The wooden trade employs
more than $4,000 persons when all the
machinery is in motion. At present the
wooden mills are running on short time

POINT OF ORDER
PROVES FATAL
Effort to Boost Salaries of As
SiStant Secretaries of De-
partments Fails in House.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Oratory in the
house today gave way to legislation
with the result that material progress
was made in the executive, Legislative
and judicial bill.
The first attack on the increases in
the salaries of assistant secretaries OF
the several departments which the bill
authorizes was made by Mr.. Macon of
Arkansas, who raised a point of order
against the increase for the assistant
secretary of state.
Mr.. Macon objected to increases in
salaries proposed for the assistant sec
rotary, and when the provision af-
fecting the treasury department sala-
ries was read these increases went out
on a point of order raised by him.
The proposed increase in the salary
of supervising architect of the treasu-
~ was rejected on a point of order by
Mr.. Macon, who objected also to an
amendment by Mr.. Smith of Arizona
proposing an increase in the salaries
of the territorial judges of Arizona.
Mr.. Macon then made another point
against the increase OF the salary of
the assistant secretary of war, and 1t
was stricken out.
On a point of order by Mr.. Mann,
the appropriation for a monthly pilot
chart of the north Pacific ocean pub
lished by the navy was stricken out.
The bill was still under discussion, but
two-thirds disposed of when the house
adjourned

FINALLY At THE
END OF ITS ROPE
Will Ask for Receiver for Mu-
tual Reserve Life InSur-
anCe Company.

New York, Feb. 14-Attorney Gen
eral William S. Jackson announced to-
day that he had decided to ask for the
appointment of a receiver for the Mu-
tual Reserve Life Insurance company
The legality of certain liens i'm
posed upon policies has been ques,
toned by the authorities.
Attorney General Jackson said his
decision TO ask for receiver was
based on the report of State Superin-
tendent of Insurance Kelsey, who con-
tended that the company is insolvent,
with a deficit of S1.717,114. OF this al
legged deficit S600.000 was in the value
of real estate owned by the company,
and SS00,000 was in liens against the
policies of the insured. These were
claimed by the officers of the compa-
ny to be an asset, but Kelsey would
not allow it.
The company has $1,000 policy hold
ers, some of whom had formed a COM
anittee to secure the dissolution of the
Company and distribution of its as
sets.
Following the legislative insurance
investiga ton several officers of the
Mutual were indicted on charges of
larceny of the funds of the company
and of forgery. George Burnham, jr..
vice president and counsel, was con
victed of larceny, but the conviction
was reversed and a new trial ordered
Much criticism of the company was
made by policy holders during the in
surance investigation.
