Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 15.-Robin
j. Cooper, charged with the murder
Of Senator Edward Carmack, was
given verdict Of not guilty in the

Attorney Anderson recommended
the verdict of not guilty, declaring
that no human being had said one
word to him In connection with any
prosecution during the two and one
half months that he has been at

to the very last that 1 loved you.
Good-by. May God bless you, and

Underneath she had written the i'm
personal name which he had loved to
call her, woman"
So characteristic was the letter that
that superscrtption was supererogatory
thought Mr.. Whitaker. Only a wom-
an could have written It. She had
gone out of his life, because with her
in 1t there was no solution of it for
him, because-how pitiful It sounded
there in the gray of that morning in
that lone island to those two men!-
because he did not love her. And she
had gone sut Of It with excuses for
him on her lips and love for him in
her heart. No wonder that, divining
this which he had not seen, realizing
only that she was gone, he had been
stricken as he was.
The doctor arrived presently. He
ordered the man, still unconscious, to
be taken back to the ship where he
would do what he could toward reviv-
ing him and pulling him through this
great and terrible crisis that had come
upon him. The chaplain went with
him, conceiving his duty to be in at
tendance upon the living rather than
searching for the dead.
The captain, with the other officers,
brought 100 men to the shore. The
island was systematically searched. It
was all open. There was no place of
concealment, but not foot of it was
left unvisited. Again and again the
men traversed the island. They found
nothing, absolutely nothing. The
woman had vanished and left no trace.
In the search, and made quite fran
tic by the necessity of it, Langford
Joined. Indeed, he would not be per-
suaded that the woman he had treated
80 badly, whom he had hunted so de-
terminedly, whom he had loved so
truly, who had rejected him finally,
was dead, but even he gave up at last.
Taking with them the evidence to
substantiate the woman's affidavit and
to establish, II 30 be it were possible,

to the northeast, followed not long
after by the Southern Cross. The two
vessels went slowly, as If the souls
that animated them were reluctant to
leave the gemlllSe island where they
had CHANGED upon so much that was
idyllic, so much that was romantic; /;
and where they had seen so great a
tragedy of misfortune and despair.
Below in the cabin, under the care
OF the surgeon and chaplain, lay the
islander in the frightful throes of a
racking fever of the brain. He bab-
bled of the woman and knew not
where he was or whittier he was being
borne.

around I had a fund that enabled me
to celebrate in proper style, while
many Of my playmates were fiat

door to disturb her quiet slumber. In
the second place she was so worn out
and exhausted, she had had so little
sleep in the past three days that Inn
perative nature forced her into rest
She might have slept longer indeed,
but that she was awGSened by a great
cry, human voice calling her name.
She opened her eyes and saw within
the dimness of the cave a human fig-

For one deeting instant she imagined
that 1t might be he, but that hope
was dispelled as quickly as it had
been born. She recognized the voice

hotel we selected stood close TO the rail

approached the womens entrance on foot.
Innumerable motor cars for hire were
drawn up on both sides of the hotel. cars
were chug-chugging and emitting blue va
