My name is Andy Jackson"
The old lady had, to the day of her death, the
appearance of this young man so indelibly i'm
pressed upon her mind, that she could never real
ize his Importance; and it always struck her as
excessively whimsical and ridiculous, that such a
looking customer should ever become President
of the United States.
She had the same difficulty with respect to Mr..
Polk. She had known him when a child. He
would stay for months at her house, and go to
school with her children; and was so easily out
done and put upon by the other boys of his age,
that she could not form a high opinion of his
abilities.
She always, from the force of habit, called him
little Jenny and, think, never mentioned him
in connection with the Presidency, without feel
ings of irrepressible amusement
Poor old lady! she stood for eighteen years
alone in the world. Her children and grand
children all were dead, and none could hear her
indulging in "reminiscences Of her earthly life
without the of how great a blessing 1t was
to have so rich store of early memories.

In the neighborhood of Charlotte North Caro-
lima, (says the Charleston Standard) there lived
until within the last two years, an aged lady,
whose many recollectons of early life are very
interesting One, remember, afforded, us a
great amusement. Gates had been defeated; the
shattered fragments of his army had been swept
like the debris of a tempest past her secluded
home her father and brothers all out
der partisan leader; the tories were form
ing nucleus or organization about the Wax
haws, and supposing this would attract the at
tenton of her relatives, and seeing young man
riding from that direction, she told by her
mother to learn the news from him.
She was a buxom lass of sixteen summers edu-
Gated in the freedom of the country, and being
toerably assured of her ability to cope with any
body was nothing 10th to go, and gave us the
following story of the meeting: "The lad seemed
a honest, well-meaning body, but not much in
the way of looks He was thin, awkward and
bilious, and rode CRASHED colt that reeled
about so wondered how in the world it carried
him. How do you do, sir?' says l. How do
you do, maam,' says he. Says I, Which way
did you come FROM? come from the Wax
haws' Did you see or hear anything of our peo-
pie down there?' NO. says he; but there are
tories about there, and we pops EN- down
some times Thinks I. you looks like funny

crowned him with glory. Before they left the
table it had been decided that she should go to
New York the following day; he to go that night
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof and
the good thereof" he murmured he left her.
True to his promise he was at the station to
meet her. Entering cab they were driven to
secluded cafe the name of which was not familiar
to her. They did not observe brilliant dark
eyed who watched them until they had
disappeared inside
Darling, you will have to send me from you
for a little while. l dare not forget my work.
must work for two now At length she began
mechanically to remove her gloves AS she did so

brutal laugh burst from the captve's lips.
Indeed! Go tell that to the Winds" he roared.
"Fatima told me my wife was here with another
man, and I called her jealous liar, a designing
fool Now know that she spoke the truth. She
said she'd kill if I deserted her again. She
said shed-ki-oh, my Cod don't Fatima, don't!
| swear I'll"
With Shrek of horror the collapsed, his
face growing purple as he sank to the floor. Ter
riied by his cry, his wife sprang to his side
Call a physician, Curtis quick or it will be
too late" she cried.
When the physician reached the room the man
was past all human aid. The autopsy showed that
death had resulted from apoplexy.

THE PILGRIM.

No wrathful wrecks of yesterday
Shall shut the sunlight from my face;
Nor bar my upward-climbing way
Nor trammel me in my soul-race.
Done deeds are dead. Let those who Will
Falter and fall before old ghosts;
For me the sweet, exultant thrill
OF marching with the conquering hosts'
For me, no dreaming doubtful dreams,
Nor bordering on gone defeat,
Before me lies the road which CLEANS
With all it's triple-millioned feet
That bravely strive increasingly
To reach that far tall-towered height,
Wherein the sun shines dazzlingly
And where there is no bitter night.
No hand may help, no word may cheer,
But by whatever Gods there be
Within my heart there turks no fear,
And I shall wrest the victory
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-02-23

she caught the reflection of her own face in the
mirrow opposite her table. Two hectic spots glowed
in her cheeks and her eyes were ablaze with
light.
"Helen Demar what are you about to do?" she
said aloud, and at the sound of her voice she re-
coed in terror. Clasping her hands, she began
the old struggle anew. Mortimer has deserted
me for another woman. That act releases me from
all obligation to him. Curtis alone can lift me
from the torment in which have been living ever
since my mother died. My mother? Could l en-
dure myself in life? Could l meet her greved
eyes in death? No, no, l could not face her."
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-02-23

AS she looked into his radiant,
loval face her purpose wavered Then she arose
resolutely and spoke in tones so low they could
not reach the ears of those seated at distant tables
"My one love-" she began TREMENDOUSLY, you may
kill me if you like, but cannot fulfill my promise
to you I cannot sacrifice my VOWS even for the
bliss of your love-" She waited half in hope hall
in dread for his reply. When it came 1t was
fraught with deep emotion.
"Thanl God you as noble as my fancy mas
for two years painted you. This IS strange
terrible love, a deathless love- but it can wait"
Scarcely we're the words uttered when the door
onened and Mortimer Payne's face livid with rage,
confronted them.
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-02-23
Helen Payne" he

cried as he rushed toward
her, chow dare you dishonor
my name? l have caught
you at last. How long has
this thing been going on?
Confess to me before | kill
you, vile woman. Do you
forget that you are dragging
my name in the dust? Down
on your knees and tell me
the truth"
With the agility of the
trained athlete, Curtis Deane
sprang upon the enraged
man and forced him back
against the wall. Holding
him there, he said firmly:
Don't lay your hands on
that woman. She need make
no defense of her conduct.
She is without sim"
