Sally,T.C.
BY W. r. BRYAN.
Copyrighted. 1905. by Associated
Literary Press.
BY W. r. BRYAN.

Sarah Henrietta Westervelt was the
name entered In the register Of the ivy
clad church, and in her baby days she
was called Sally. But from the day her
Cupids arch Of mouth learned to
frame intelligent sentences Jack Hardy
had dubbed her the ''town crier"
The nickname was SO apt that 1t
stuck, being reduced for simplicity's
sake to I. G. Even during those stern
minutes In the library with her father
he often dropped the sober Sarah for
the moro universal T. G.
I. C.'s nickname was due to her gen
ius for the dissemination of bits Of
gossip best forgotten. Her mind seem
ed naturally to empty itself Of all In
formation. and young Hardy altered
an old saw into What goes in T. C.'s
ear comes out of her mouth"
AS T. c. grew in understanding the
habit got her more firmly in its grip.
Instead of learning to appreciate the
value Of reticence, her wider scope Of
knowledge served only the better to
equip her for the gathering of sundry
bits of gossip which she would blurt
out at the most inopportune occasions
until not only her family. but her
friends. came to regard her with an
affection that was not unmlxed with
terror.
T. c., being sensitive little soul,
glieyed in secret and made earnest
vows that she would tattle no more.

knowledge would roll out unchecked
and unrealized.
1t was to Jack Hardy that she al
ways went for sympathy and advice

sequences hung heavy over her head.

nickname, he made partial atonement
by never employing it.

related only when the birth of a baby

that Andrew Campanile, whom she
had loved, had promised to marry her,
betrayed her and then refused to mar

So when the authorities came to dig
up the body, which they believed had
been uncovered by the pigs, they as

It was a sad come-down from the

A Frank Philosopher.

Charles Eliot Norton in his Harvard
lectures on the history of art used
often to describe a meeting between
Thomas Carlyle and the philosopher
Mallock.
"Mallock was a wise man, he would
say, but his views differed from Car
lyle's. and hence, though they We're
true views, Carlyle deemed them false
and pernicious. We should all cult
vate a broad outlook, so as to escape
from the narrow intolerance of Il Car
lyle. When Mallock called on Carlyle
he talked in his fluent way for two
straight hours. Then he rose to go.
At the door Carlyle, who had smoked
the whole time in grim silence, took
his pipe from his mouth and said
mildly:
"'Weel, goodby, Mr.. Mallock. I've
received We kindly because I knew yer
mither, but I never want to set eyes
on We again."

He broke off a bit of his oven bed,
the venison was placed in the hole and
covered over, andAthe two men listened
to the welcome SOUND of it's sizzling.
Becker took the piece of rock into his
cabin, where he lighted a candle, for
1t was now dark and the brush had
burned to cinders. Trimmer was over

heard his partner call.

Her Betrayer Alive.
italian Girls Awful Vengeance Upon Her seducer Revealed
by Pigs Roofing In CaIabrian
Cemetery.

Pigs roofing in q graveyard in Gala
brla, southern Italy, recently brought
to light Il remarkable story Of love and
tragedy which cost four lives. 4 farm
er, whose swine had been in the ceme-
terry, was driving them out when he
observed that they had been digging
about a new made grave, and he was
surprised to see the two arms of a
man protruding from the earth.

when, she said, if she was alive she
would marry him. The ten days had
not expired when the tragedy was dis
covered.
There followed u search for Lucy
Avellone and her baby. They had not
been seen for two days about the
handsome Avellone estate. Had they
left the province 1T would have been
noted. A searching party came upon
the dead bodies Of the girl mother and
her baby in a we'll in the garden Of the
Avellone estate. A note under a stone
in the wall of the we'll told the story.
She related how she had drugged
Campanile, not to kill him by such an
easy and merciful manner, but to rem
der him temporarily senseless so that
she could place him alive into the
grave to which he had sent her father.
She wrote that before the body Of Cam
panile was wholly covered with earth
he became conscious and she had the
joy of seeing him struggle against the
death that was overtaking him. Then
she and the young mar hurried to fill
the grave so that he could not escape.
She watched there until he was dead.
Her revenge then being complete,
she prepared for her own death and
that of the child. When all had been
arranged she held the baby in her
arms and leaped into the we'll.
