Death of Sutton Price.

Hopewell, June %. Specials Sut-
ton Price came to his death June %,
while in ChattoOga river bathing,
about two miles below the iron
bridge. He was accompanied by Will
MiZe and Jesse Carver. He was al
most saved twice by Mize, but he had
to let him sink to save his own life
1t is supposed that young Price
took cramps and was unable to help
himself in the water. The accident
happened about 1890 o'clock.
The body was not discovered un-
til between sunset and dark The
water was ten feet deep where the
body was found, it being partly bur
led in sand. 1t is sad to think we
must part with such a prominent
young man as Sutton. He was the

several times visited near Hopewell,
where he had friends and formed

the little iron safe with its two pad
locks--both so rusty from disuse that
it took all the strength l possessed to
turn the keys.
''There!" | remarked, handing them
to Lady Edith and closing the outer
wooden door. Now you can rest in
peace"
You have removed an incubus from
my shoulders" she said, with a quick
display of dimples, and | am more
grateful than l can express. | should
not have had an easy minute after
Mrs. Bundy's experience, although /
am inclined to believe it was one of
the strange men who spent the night
here, rather than guest or servant of
the hotel. / would rather think so.
"And do you know" she continued
thoughtfully, my maid says that sew
eral of these men left very early, with
out waiting for breakfast-ras soon as
it was light, in fact. That in itself
seems suspicious, under the circum-
stances, but then, as | said, every one
is inclined to suspect every one else,
and it is all very horrid and uncom-
Portable. Now, do let us go outside
again, and not waste this glorious
day"
We had a delightful morning, for
our guest was even more charming
than usual. There was a subdued ex-
hilaration in her manner, and an ex-
uberance of spirit we had never seen
before; her cheeks were softly pink,
| and her eyes shone, as she chatted
merrily of various things after the
fashion of girls the world over. In
her softened mood, with the grande
dame manner laid aside, she was quite
irresistible, and | found myself won
dering why her left hand bore neither
wedding nor engagement ring, and
whether she as well as her brother had
an unhappy romance to be lived down
and forgotten.
She did not, however, convey the
impression of a lovelorn damsel, for a
more radiant creature / have never
seen. By the time lunch was over we
felt as though we had known her al.
ways, and were planning a summer
! abroad, part Of which was to be spent
at her fathers castle in Scotland.

will have quite recovered his poise
before you come over, and you can see

low! And then, who knows what
might happen? One of you might be

Cures for sIeepIessness.

In nearly all hospitals where there
are patients in an excitable condition
who cannot sleep and where It would
be injurious to give narcotics, the fol-
lowing method is adopted A hot
water bottle is covered with flannel
and placed at the feet. A thin tissue
bag OF thinnest silk rubber is par
tally filled with cold water and placed
to the base of the brain. This is about
ten inches long and six inches wide,
as soft as silk and only half filed
with cold water, so it does not feel
bulky back of the head In many
cases the patient goes to sleep within
a few minutes, because this draws the
blood from the active brain, which
is one cause of insomnia. When the
patient is extremely nervous, a crack
er spread with butter and sprinkled
slightly with cayenne pepper is eaten.
This heats the stomach. The stock.
ing wound around the neck, not too
close, yet rather snug, is an old meth
cd, for II does not retard the flow of
blood from the head to the arteries,
but 1t does retard the flow to the
head, just as the cold water assists.
All these methods are simple, effec.
tive and harmless.

SYNOPSIS.

Three girls Elizabeth, Gabrielle and
Elise--startcd for Canada to spend the
summer there. On board steamer they
were frightened by an apparently dement,
ed stranger, who finding a bag belonging
to one of them, took enjoyment in scru-
tinizing a photo of the trio. Elise shared
her stuteroom with u Mrs. Graham. also
bound for Canada. The young women on
IL sightseeing tour met Mrs. Graham
anXiously awaiting her husband, who had
mania for sailing. They were intro
duced to Lord Wilfrid and LADY Edith
A cottage by the ocean was rented by
the trio for the summer. Elizabeth
learned that friend of her fathers was
to call. Two men called, one of them
being the queer acting stranger on the
steamer. The girls were mot at home"
but discovered by the cards left that one
of the men was EliZabeth's fathers
friend. The men proved TO be John G..
Blake and Gordon Bennett The party
was told of the search for smugglers in
the vicinity of the cottage. Elise visited
Mrs Graham to lind that her life was
not the happiest She learned that the
Grahams and Lady Edith were acquaint-

CHAPTER vi.

II was a very beautiful world which
greeted us in the morning after the
storm, all swept and garnished and
freshly painted for our delectation.

stood upon olr veranda drinking in the
life-giving ozv1e and feasting our eyes

unsupported.

lazy mornings in which we frequently

apoplexy or anything?"
"She was robbed" said Lady Edith
gravely. "All her jewels were taken,
and they were very valuable. Poor

is in state of hysterical collapse

Yes, robbed. 1t makes one very

it is the work of an expert, and have
put the matter into the hands of the
police, hoping to recover the jewels,
Whom do they suspect?'

moment, then resumed quietly: You
see, the hotel was crowded last night
with strangers storm bound on the
island, and it will be difficult to form
| an opinion. Mrs. Bundy was alarmed
at the storm. and spent most of the
night In her daughters room. 1t is

Then look at your bait and give 1t

And it's bound to bring catty back:
First thing you do
Is to wish and wish
And cross your heart
When you start to fish.
Next thing you do is to crotch stick
And plant on the bank where the grass
grows thick
Lay your pole in the crotch, while the
line swings free,
Then prop your back gin the trunk OF a
tree:
Second thing to do
Is to sit there and sleep
Till the sun goes down
