somewhere, and on her refusal he had
struck her with 1t. One hand had
been badly cut, and it was that, pois-
oning having set in, which was. killing
her. She broke away in a frenzy Of
rage and fear, and got into the house
while Gertrude and Jack Bailey were
at the front door. She went upstairs,
hardly knowing what she was doing.
Gertrude's door was open and Hal
sey's revolver lay there on the bed.
She picked it up and turning a part
way down the circular staircase. She
could hear Arnold fumbling at the
lock outside. She slipped down quiet
ly and opened the door; he was in
side before she had got back to the
stairs. 1t was quite dark. but she
could see his white shirt-bosom. From
the fourth step she fired. AS he fell
somebody in the billiard room
screamed and ran. When the alarm
was raised, she had had no time to
get upstairs; she hid in the west wing
until every one was down on the
lower floor. Then she slipped upstairs
and thew the revolver out Of an up
per window, going down again in time
to admit the men from the Greenwood
club.
If Thomas had suspected, he had
never told. When she found the hand
Arnold had injured was growing
worse, she gave the address of Lucien
at Richfeld to the old man and almost
500. The money was for Lucien's
board until she recovered. She had
sent for me to ask me If l would try
to interest the Armstrong; in the
child. When she found herself grow
ing worse she had written to Mrs.
Armstrong, telling her nothing but
that Arnold's legitimate child was at
R~ichheld, and imploring her to recog-
nize him. She was dying; the boy
was an Armstrong, and entitled to his
fathers share Of the estate. The pa
pers were in her trunk at Sunnyside,
with letters from the dead man that

That was the story. Sad and tragic
though it was. the very telling of it
seemed to relieve the dying woman.

HINES LUMBER co. CASE.
Attorney-cenerai Receives Many Let
ters Regarding Il.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Hudson
has received many letters recently re-
garding the Hines Lumber Company
case. Most Of these lette.s are urg-
ing him. in behalf Of the state, to
compromise this case, so this ccrpo-
ration can proceed with its improve
ments. There are a few who oppose
a compromise, but some of these want
the case to 60 to trial on It's merits,
simply t determine whether the state
limiting the holdings of corporations
will hold.
Many of the leading attorneys OF
the state have expressed tie opinion
that this statute is in conflict with
! the constitution of the United States.
and, If carried to the federal snpl eme
court, would be knocked OF, thus
| placing the state at considerable ex
| pense when the case can De settled
| without cost to the state.
The law provides that no corpora
ton, railroads excepted, shall, own
more than $1,000, 900 of real estate,
and it was for an alleged violation
of this act that action was bought
against the Hines Lumber Company
in the chancery court of Pearl River
county.
This company had planned to erect
a large saw mill plant at Poplaryille
and build a railroad from Gulfport
to Columbia, where connection would
be made with the New Orleans Great
Northern for Jackson and points
north, while the road to Bogalusa
would be built into Poplarville, giving
a new line into New Orleans. When
proceedings were instituted for vio-
lations Of the corporation limitation
act, work was suspended on all these
improvements, and it is not he pur-
pose of the Hines copnay to renew
operations till the pending case has
been finally disposed Of in some way.

Filipinos Of Both Sexes Make Sunday

Market Women.

It is the women who market the
produce. Early each morning long
lines Of these farmer wives. with great
cigars in their mouths and large bas-
kets Of wares on their heads, car be
seen striding along the narrow trails
toward the capital city where market
is held, says a Manila correspondent.
Strong and happy. they wade
through the streams and the mud,

hours over q few small tomatoes,

happen to have. and toward noon they

she came east. She drifted around,
doing plain sewing and keeping a
home somewhere always for the boy.
Finally, however, she realized that
her only training had been domestic,
and she put the boy in IN Episco-
plalian home, and secured the posi-
ton Of housekeeper to the Arm
strongs. There she found Lucien's
father, this time under his own name.
1t was Arnold Armstrong.
l gathered that there was no par
| ticular enmity at that time in Anne's
mind. She told him of the boy, and
threatened exposure if he did not pro-
vide for him. Indeed, for a time, he
did SC. Then he realized that Lucien
was the ruling passion in this lonely
woman's life. He found out where
the child was hidden, and threatened
to take him away. Anne was frantic.
The positions became reversed.
Where Arnold had given money for
Lucien's support, as the years went
son instead until she was always pen
niless. The lower Arnold sank in the
scale, the heavier his demands be-
came. With the rupture between him
and his family things were worse.
Anne took the child from the home
and hid him in a farmhouse near
Casanova, on the Claysburg road.
There she went sometimes to see the
boy, and there he had taken fever.
The people were Germans, and he
called the farmers wife grossmutter.
He had grown into a beautiful boy,
and he was all Anne had to live for.
The Armstrong; left for California,
and Arnold's prosecutions began anew.
He was furious over the child's dis
| appearance and she was afraid he
would do her some hurt. She left the
big house and went down to the lodge.
When l had rented Sunnyside, how
! ever, she had thought the prosecutions
would stop. She had applied for the
position of housekeeper and secured it.
That had been on Saturday. That
night Louise arrived Unexpectedly.
Thomas sent for Mrs. Watson and
then went for Arnold Armstrong at
the Greenwood club. Anne had been
fond of Louise-she reminded her of
| Lucy. She did not know what the
trouble was, but Louise had been in
a state Of terrible excitement. Mrs.
| Watson tried to hide from Arnold, but
he was ugly. He left the lodge and
went up to the house about 1880, was
admitted at the east entrance and
came out again very soon. Something
had occurred, she didn't know what;
but very soon Mr.. Innes and another
gentleman left, using the car

Thomas had a key to the east entry,
and gave it to her.
On the way across the lawn she
was confronted by Arnold, who for
some reason was determined to get
into the house. He had a golf-stick

LOSES LAND AND MONEY.
State Asked to Refund 10 MIR. cregan
in Sum of $40o.62.

Jackson.-There is a peculiar mix
I'D on a land title in Lefore county,
in which the state is involved, and
by means of which a man named Gre
gan stands to lose $400.62, which he
paid for $50 acres of land he pur-
chased from the state.
The land involved was decided to
the state in 1900, but the circuit court
of Lef1ore county decided Mr.. Cregan
had no claim to it. He took an APP
peal to the supreme court, but lost be-
cause the stenographer's notes were
not admitted as evidence, and the
case dismissed because the record IN
the case was not filed within the
specified time.
The history of the case, as learned
from the office of the land commits
sion, is that some one, back in 1860,
tried to get title to this land from
the federal government. The appli
cation was refused, but the govern
ment later ceded it to the state as
swamp land, thus giving, in the opin-
ion of many of the leading attorneys
of the state, a clear title to the prop
erty.
Later the land was acquired by q
man named Rabb, who sold it to q
Mr.. Sykes, and when Mr.. Cregan pur-
chased it from the state ten years
ago and tried to get possession, Mr..
Sykes refused to vacate. The case
was carried to the courts and was
in litigation several years, Mr.. Sykes
finally getting a decision in the cir
cult court, where the judge declared
he had no claim to the property.
Failing to get the land, which was
properly decided to him by the state,
eMr. Cregan is now trying to compel
the state to refund the money ne
paid for the land, but neither the
Encouragement nor land commission
er can approve his claim, under the
circumstances.

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician, of Portland, Oregon.
has views about food. He says:
Il have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick. but that we
owe 1t to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.
with such q feeling as to my duty
I take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation l have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
and that I find there is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases of sick
ness and convalescence.
1T is my experience that no physi
cal condition forbids the use OF Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there is
nothing SO noarishing and acceptable
to the stomach. especially at break
fast, to start the machinery of the hui
man system on the days work.
TN cases of indigestion / know that
q complete breakfast can be made Of
Grape-Nuts and cream and / think it is
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. / also know the
great value Of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach Is too weak to digest other
food.

Of more than 20 years. treating all

STATE NEEDS MORE MONEY.
Each County Should Be Made to Sup

Each County Should Be Made to Sup
port It's Own Schools.
Jackson.-To those familiar with
the financial conditions of the state,
it is more apparent than ever that
something must be done to bring more
money into the state treasury for gen.
eral purposes. But the question is,
how to do this?
Several plans have been suggested,
but it is not believed any effective
remedy can be had till a new consti-
tuition is framed for the state, provid-
ing for a state board of equalization
and that each county must support its
own schools.
There is no semblance of equallza-
ton In Mississippi's tax system, and
cannot be under existing conditions,
as each board Of supervisors has it's
own ideas o the question of yalua-
tions, and as long as they can get
enough money for the county govern
meEt they care nothing for the state.
Some of them have made this State
ment, and since the supervisors are
all powerful in fixing the assessment
in each of the counties of the state
there is no way to prevent this dis
elimination, except through a state
board.
Some of the counties pay a great
| deal more into the state treasury for
school purposes than they get out OF
the general school fund, while others
| pay but little of the taxes from which
they get their school funds, and If
there was a law that each county
raise it's own school funds, paying
into the state only sufficient money to
meet government expenses, it is be-
lieved conditions would be different.
But this would require a constitu-
tionaY convention, as would almost any
other plan Of raising sufficient funds
to conduct the state government. Stu
dents Of political affairs in Mississippi
do not see how it is possible, under
present conditions, for the state to go
many more years without a constitu-
tional convention, and already there is
talk of the legislature calling n at
the next session.
