1t was not a ghost that reached out
q cold, wet hand and found her In the
darkness. and it was not In ghostly
whispers that they began to talk. Wal
ter had left the train at the depot
three miles away to walk across the
country to the home of the towheaded
boy, where board had already been Sc
cured for him. He had blundered into
this house.
1t was an hour after his arrival be-
fore the storm passed away and left
the road almost knee deep in mud and
water. Hand in hand the couple set
out. Sometimes tnGy waded through
puddles. and sometimes 1t was only
stick mud. Sometimes they fell. and
sometimes the mud about their feet
held them upright until they could
brace up for another struggle.
The hired man was heard hooting
long before the living ghosts reached
the gate. and grim Amt Judith was
found there with lantern. OF course
she was worried half to death. AS the
bedraggled couple stood before her she
held up the lantern and surveyed
them.

Hilda.

left a letter lying around today that
explains ALL Well, sir. Farmer Brown

out of those sopping clothes and ge,

And what about me, aunt?" plain

But Aunt Judith was buffer. She
waited two weeks. during which the
young man was almost a boarder In
her house. and then wrote to hel

berry in Martin County.

dell, well known all through this
section of the county, was the VIC
tim Of bold burglar while in the
adjoining county of Martin short
time ago He had gone TO the house
Of Uriah Harmon, on the Emily fork
OF Wolfe creek. to stay all night,
and some time after he had gone TO
bed man supposed to be Steve
Diamond, who formerly lived in Fort
Gay, entered the room Mr.. Curdell
vas occupying and carried off his
coat and vest. The loss of his good
clothes didn't worry him very much.
but in the vest were a gold watch
and chain worth eighty dollars, and
In the pocket of the vest was about
twenty dollars in money. The vest
was found the next morning near
the house. but watch, money and
thief were gone
News of the robbery was sent out
o!er the country and a reward was
offered for the capture Of the thief.
Sheriff Stone was on the lookout,
and some time last week he arrested
Diamond in this city and carried
him to Fort Gay and turned him
over to a deputy sheriff
Diamond was handcuffed and taken
to Martin county, Here they were
met by Uriah Harmon who claimed
the prisoner and the reward. He
WAS turned over to Harmon but
during the night, handcuffed as he
was, escaped to Marrowbone Creek
In West Virginia, where, it is said,
some one managed to cut the brace
let's from his wrists and thus release
him. 1t is said that he had, before
his final escape, managed to get his
hands out of the fetters, but he was
again bound. securely as was thought,
but Diamond seemed to have shown
them that they had another think

Diamond is still at large.

put into type 1t is learned that Dia-
mond has been captured again and
is now in Wayne county Jail. He was
caught on Twelve Pole by Uriah
Harmon, at whose house the robbery

of Eli Sloan, of Fallsburg, regret TO
learn of his death, which occurred
q few days ago. Mr.. Sloan was the
Fallsburg and Fullers correspondent
of this paper, using the signature U.

missed. He wrote in a quaint, direct
way, going much into detail and
missing nothing which might interest
his many readers.
Mr.. Sloan was a man of much in
telligence. He had read much and
remembered it all. The Yatesville
correspondent of the NEWS says he
was a minister of the Christian
Church, preaching quite often, He
was a good man and useful citizen
and will be greatly missed by the
community in which he had lived SO
long.

against the use of such questionable
aids. They are not "aids,' they are
positively injurious to any pupil who
uses them. The writer has had years
Of experience as teacher and pupil
