 Mes Rowlyv had already received one bulky letter by the mornings post. The third morning she received another. That night, when Stephens maid had left her, there came gentle tap at her door. and an instant after the door opened The tap had been a warning, not request; it had in a measure pre- pared Stephen, who was not surprised to see her aunt In her dressing gown, though 1t was many long day since she had visited her niece's room at night. She closed the door behind her, sayinR:
 There is something want to talk to you about, dearest, and I thought it would be better to do so when there could not be. any possible interruption. And besides" hero there was a little break in her voice. I could hardly sum mon up my courage in the daylight" She stopped, and the stopping told its own story In an instant Stephens arms were round her. all the protective instinct in her awake at the distress of the woman she loved. The old lady took comfort from the warmth of the embrace, and held her tight whilst she went ons
 Tt Is about these bills. by dear. Come and sit down and put a candle near me. want you to read something"
 Stephen wheeled an armchair close to table on which were candles. Then she gently placed her aunt in the chair and seated herself on the great arm of It. leaping affectionately against the shoulder of her companion with her arm round her neck.
 Now go on. Auntie dear" she said sraveIy. The old lady, after a pause, spoke with a certain timidity:
 They are all paid; at least ali that can be. Perhaps I had better read you the letter I have had from my solicit ors:
 "'Dear Madam:--In accordance with your instructions we have paid ali the accounts mentioned in Schedule A (en- closed.) We have placed for your con- venience three columns: CD the origin al amount of each account: (el tho amount of discount which we were able to arrange. and C3) the amount paid. We regret that we have been unable to carry out your wishes with regard to the items enumerated in Schedule B (enclosed.) We have. we assure you. done ali in our power to find the gem tlemen whose names and addresses are therein given. These were marked Debt of honor" in the list which you handed to US. Not having been able to obtain any reply to our letters. we sent one of our clerks first to the ad- dresses in London. and afterwards to Oxford. That clerk, who is well used to such indairies. could not find any trace of any of the gentlemen. or in- deed of their existence We have, there. fore. come to the conclusion. that, either there must be some error with regard to (a) names, tb) addresses. or Gel both: or that no such persons exist. As 1t would be very unlikely that such er- rors could occur in all the cases. we can only conclude that there have not been any such persons. If we may ven- ture to hazard an opinion: 1t Is possi- ble that, these debts being what young men call debts of honor" the debtor, or possibly the creditors may not have wished the names mentioned. Tn such case fictitious names and addresses may

TWO EMBLEMS FILED
BRING TROUBLES
 TO CAPITOL.
The Thompson Wing Filed It's Emblem and is Claiming Legal RecOSni- tiOn-navidsOn Wing Had
 Already Acted.

That the Thompson faction of the Alabama Republican party is going to fight for the recognition of it's rights as the authorized wing of the organi- zation in the State Is evidenced by the fact that it has filed an emblem and certificate of nomination with the Sec retary of State. Under the law. the Secretary of State will have to certify this emblem and the nominations to the Probate Judges. who will have the duty of determining who are the right and proper leaders.
 Sometime ago the Davidson wing of the party filed an emblem, an arm and hammer, claiming to be the organiza- tion of the Republican party in the State. Secretary of State Frank N. Julian recognized this IS regular and received it. Later. however. the At torney- General ruled that the other wing had a right to be heard. so all lowed them in. There are now two emblems, that of the Thompson wing being a picture of Vulcan.
 The law provides that where there is a party slipt the Probate Judge shall determine which is the right wing and give them the party emblem. but at the time allowed the other wing to come in for once under a temporary emblem. In this way, the Thompson forces now get in and with the reading of the law will likely be the recognized part of the organization The act Section 377, is here given. by which the Probate Judges are governed:
 When there is a division of any political party and each faction claims the party emblem. the Judge of Pro- bate shall at once certify the fact to the chairman of the State Executive Committee of that party, who shall, within ten days. notify the Judge of Probate which ticket is entitled to the party emblem, and the Judge of Pro- bate shall be governed by the decision of said chairman. whereupon the other factions must file with the Judge of Probate an emblem to be used in that election only"

 The last heard from MT. Taylor was a letter received by his wife Friday, May 22, in which he stated that he would join her in Florence Sunday. When he had been overdue several days, Mrs. Taylor telegraphed to Cincinnati, only to have the message returned that he was not to be found.

or balm to her wounded spirit, her pride.
 Here at last was truth, She knew it In the very marrow of her bones. Oh, how blind she had beenl Even in the darkness of her overwhelming passion. such light should have shone upon her; on her brain even if 1t had not pierced through the clouds which had darkened her soul.
 This time she did not move. She thought and thought of that noble gen. tieman who had used for her sake even that pent-up passion which. for her sake also. he had suppressed so long.
 In that light, which restored in her eyes and justified so fully the man whom she had always trusted, her own shame and wrongdoing, and the perils which surrounded her. were for the time forgotten.
 And its glory seemed to rest upon her whilst she slept.

To Rural Route Patrons

Postmaster, G.. E. Nuns, de.
sires to call attention to the prac-
tice of some patrons of rural de-
livery of placing loose coins in
their boxes each time they desire
to dispatch letters instead of sup
plying themselves in advance si
their needs. This practice i'm.
poses undue hardship on the rural
carriers in removing loose coins
from boxes and delays them ON
the service of their routes. The
postmaster, therefore urgently re-
requests the patrons of rural de.
livery to provide themselves ana
keep on hand a supply of stamps
consistent with and In advance Of
their needs. II is also very de-
sirable that rural patrons place in
their mail boxes small etachable
cups Of wood or tin In which 10
place coins when necessary, n
purchasing supplies Of stamps.

A PREACHERS DISCOVERY
Rev. TrIplett OF this County. Digs Up
Skeletons of Long-Ago People

Rev. r. o. Triplett, pastor Of
three Methodist churches in this
County - Wellsville, Middletewn
aud Bethel has returned from an
exploring trip in the hills of Call
away, where he found q myster-
ious mound or grave containing
sixteen human skeletons, como Of
which he disinterred and brought
to his home in this county. The
preacher thinks that the men were
probably killed in some pre-
historic battle. The skulls and
jaw-bones are in a splendid state
preservation and ii 1t were not
known they were those of human
beings one could hardly believe
that there ever lived in Missouri
q race of people so gigantic in
stature. One skeleton espe cially
seemed to indicate a man eight
feet high and the jaw bone of one
seven or eight feet tall contains
all the teeth which are fairly sound
although In the opinion of MIR.
Triplett they have been in the
ground probably a thousand
years. Some of the bones indi-
cate those of women and children
among them being q rib scarcely
longer than one's finger. One
skull contaioed a flint arrow
sticking through the bone, indi-
eating that the man was buried
Just az he fell in battle.
The smysterious grave was To-
Gated on the farm of VIM. Noble,
Ave miles from Calwood. 1t was
originally twenty-five or thirty
feet high but has been gradually
lowered by cultivation. The farm
having been settled many years
ago. Some years ago Mr.. Trip
lett was sent to the "Kingdoi,. Of
Galloway, as an itiner@ns aie.ho.
dist preacher. He noticed the
strange looking mound and prom.
ised himself that when the oppor-
tn oity presented itself he would
visit the county and explore it.
After digging two days with the
assistance of friend, w. NJ
Craighead he reached the skele'
tone of this strange race of people
who probably inhabited the coun'
try before the Indians.
