across his breast he pinioned him to
the earth. His great hand stole to-
ware the throat of his PROSTATE foe
and fastened upon it with the grip Of
an iron wise.

matted hair and staring eyes down in

right hand. raised it, and struck.
The effect of the blow was two-fold
-paralyzing the brain of the smitten
and the arm of the smiter. Across the
low forehead of the quack it left a
great gaping wound like a bloody
mouth. A death-like pallor spread it
self over his countenance, the lids

air. He did not move for a long time;
and when at length his scattered
enses began to return he threw down
the stone, rose to his feet and exclaim-
ed in accents of terror, Il have killed
him"
He could not overcome the fascina-
ton of the ~lifeless face and wide-star-
ing eyes. They drew him towards
them; he stopped down and felt for the
pulse, which was imperceptible; laid
his hand upon the heart, but could not
feel it beat; he raised an arm, and it
fell back limp and l~ifeless.
Suddenly one elemental passion gave
place to another. Horror had displaced
anger, and now in its turn gave way
to the instinct of self representation. He
looked toward the carriage and saw
that Pepeeta had fallen into a swoon.
Perhaps she has not seen what has
happened" he said to himself, and a
cunning smile lit up his pale ace.
STOPPING down, he seized the loath-
some object lying there in the dust of
the oad and dragged it off into the
thick shrubery. Stumbling along, he
came to a hollow made by the roots
of an upturned tree. Into this hs
flung the thing, hastily covered it with
moss and leaves, and stood staring
stupidity at the rude sepulchre. He ex-
perienced a momentary feeling of re-
lief that the hideous object was out
of sight; but the consciousness Of his
guilt and his danger oon surged back
upon him like a flood. In such mo-
ments the mind works wildly, like a
clock with a broker spring, but some
times with an astonishing accuracy
and wisdom.

fully defended himself against charges
affecting his official conduct, but the
spirit Of the inquiry instituted by Cal
houn offended him, and he resigned,
having served in the army five years.
He determined to become a lawyer,
a profession which in those days meant
politics even more than now. After
six months of study in the law Office
of James Trimble at Nashville he was
admitted to the Tennessee bar. and
went to Lebanon to practice. Within
eral Of the State, with the rank of
colonel, and was elected prosecuting
attorney for the Davidson district,
which necessitated his removal to
Nashville. In 1923, when 30 years Of
age, he was elected representative to
Congress from Tennessee, and served
two terms, leaving the House to be-
come Governor Of Tennessee.
Houston was elected first President
of the Republic of Texas. The consti-
tuition Of the new republic made him
| ineligible for reelection for two sue
ceed1ng terms. At the end Of the per-
iod he was reelected and found the
finances in bad shape. His first step
was to fnaugurate an economical ad-
ministration, which rescued the State
from collapse. From the first there
had been a strong desire for annexa-
ton to the United States. When this
was finally accomplished, Houston and
Thomas j. Rusk were elected Senators.
He served two terms in the Senate,
but was defeated for reelection be-
cause Of his attitude toward the vari-
Gus compromise measures. He return
ed to his home in Texas, and In 1859
was nominated for Governor by accla-
nation at q public meeting. The cam
paign that followed demonstrated his
tremendous hold upon the common peo-
pie. He made a thorough canvass of
the State, arousing wild enthusiasm by
his eloquent appeals for preservation
OF, the Union. He was elected. and was
inaugurated as Governor Dec. 21, 1859.
A special session Of the Legislature
met Jan. Fl, 1860, to act on South Car
olina's invitation to join the Confed-
eracy. A general election had pre-.
viously expressed secession sentiment.
Houston opposed every step of the Sc.
cessionlsts, but was defeated. When
Texas seeded, Houston refused to take
the oath of allegiance to the Confed'
eracy and was deposed as Governor.

PRINCE WORKED IN sLUMs.

"Father Mnx" Gave Up Royal Lux
ury to Live Among the Poor.
It will be sad news to many a poor
man and woman in London to hear
that Father Max" as he was afec-
~tionately known by them, or, to give
him his full name, Prince Macmillan
of Saxony, has developed consumption
and. in order to save his life. has been
ordered by the doctors to leave his
work and take the open air cure, a
London newspaper says. For four
years he worked devotedly in one OF
the poorest parishes of London. this
being the scene OF his labors after his
ordination.
In violent contrast 20 this were the
earliest years Of his life. He is a
brother of the present King of saxony
and began his career as a lieutenant
Of the Saxon guards. But court life
was thoroughly distasteful to him. be-
ing always a serious-minded man and
inclined rather to study and medita-
ton than the activities-or worse, the
idleness-of mock soldering. He in
herfted a deep religious feeling from
his mother, the Archduchess Louise
Antoinette of Tuscany, and when he
turned to the church much was hap

gust and depress him. His brother.

In 1896. When he took up his work in
London the late Queen Victoria. al.
though a strong Evangelical, showed
her appreciation Of the life he had
chosen by presenting him with a gor-
geous set of priestly robes. This IL
the more remarkable as he was an
extremist in his religious Views.

"CRAZY DRAKE" FOUND OIL.
Fifty Years Ago Discoverer Waa
Laughing stock of T~itusville.

Fifty Years Ago WA
Laughing stock of Titusville.
Fifty years ago today Col. Edwin
l.. Drake discovered oil on the banks
of Oil Creek at Titusville, Pa. To-day
a host of people, many Of them en-
riched beyond the dreams of Cresu.
by his find, have gathered at Titusville
and a celebration of the event will be
crowned by a banquet, at which mar
velous wealth will be represented, the
New York Mail says.
The story of the finding Of coal oil
which marked & new era in human
affairs and made possible recent mar
wells in automobile and aeroplane pro
pulsion, reads like a tale of Aladdin
Lumbermen Of northwestern Pennsyl
vania had long known of the heavy,
black, oily substance sweeping from
the rocks in many localities. The
Springs" were sought by Indians as
cures ages before the coming of the
white man, and the trappers and lum.
Der jacks found it had wonderful heal.
ing qualities when bound on a wound.
Millmen scooped 1t up to lubricate
their machinery also.
Col. Drake was a poorly paid EN-.
ploye of the New Haven road at head.
quarters. A sample of oil reached him
through Prof. Sil1iman of Yale, who
suggested that Drake inspect the place
whence the new substance came. He
went to Oil Creek, backed by several
men, and after walking about the hills
studying the rocks and the oil which
slowly percolated into shallow pits he
conceived a plan to drill and find de-
posits of oil.
Drake could not hire well drillers.
He could not find machinery. He had
to invent 1t, and thus devised the only
method ever used successfully, the IA
miliar rocker beam and pipe casing in
which the sucker rods work.
Cray Drake" was the laughing
stock OF the region. But persistence
brought reward when oil was found
and Drake knew it could be pumped in
paying quantities.
It came too fast. in fact, for there
we're no tanks. Tight cooperage being
necessary, Mrs. Drake travelled all
over buying whisky barrels. Then an
iron tank was built. but there was no
market for the oil. No one wanted
1t. OF this period Mrs. Drake, who
is still living in Philadelphia, y
eat last Col. Drake persuaded the
owner OF a store in Titusville to place
a row of lamps filled with tho oil on
his counter. The first night they were
lighted the whole town came on the
run, thinking the store was on fire,
SO bright a light did they give. You
know in those days the sperm oil
burned in lamps and wax and tallow
candles gave a very poor light. And
this discovery Of a new lighting ma
terial was as much a step forward as
electricity a We lighted our house
a few lamps and again the people
thought the house was on fire. After
some months a slight sale began. Each
household wanted at least one lamp.
Petroleum sold then for 81 a gallon"
The news spread and the world
knows the rest. In a short time refin-
ing experiments brought a stable prod
uct, coal oil it was called or kero-
sene.
