"See here. Mr. Stennis," began the
other, cringing, anxiously,
mot another word on that subject,
Mr. Hews," insisted Wilfrid decidedly.
'But first will trouble you to write
the name and address of that young
lady, my cousin"
"I'll be damned If dol" retorted
Hews passionately.
You'll certainly be damned If you
don't!" exclaimed Wilfrid grimly,
clutching his riding whip firmly and
advancing towards the now trembling
conspirator. The name, you scoun-
drel, before shake it out of you!"
"Oh, you know her well enough
curse you!" he blurted out. ITS Eu-
nice Trevecca!"
Stennis fell back pace, his face
the picture of blank wonder and as.
tonishment
"Eunice Trevecca!" he gasped. She
my cousin and the daughter of An.
drew Meleen!"
That's what said" Hews an
swered sullenly. And then, with ve-
hement spite, he added; "A sweet
mess you've made of it in that quar-
ter, haven't you? IF you'd only played
your cards right, you'd have been her
husband by this time and fingered the
money anyhow"
But Stennis, If he heard them, paid
no attention to the words; his brain
was busy taking in the full signifi-
canoe of this amazing climax to the
strange disclosures of the day, the
truth of which he could no longer
doubt. However, this was no time for
connected thinking; the main thing
was to let the truth be known at once.
He went to the door and unlocked
it, then turned to the crestfallen Hews
with these words:
"Oblige me by Immediately taking
your story and your proofs to Mr., Pas
savant. He will not value your infor.
nation quite as extravagantly as you
do, but he will doubtless pay you
something for your trouble. AS for
Miss Trevecca--I shall have the pleas
ure of breaking the news to her my

KINGS DAUGHTERS NOTES.

THE look Of sympathy, the gentle
word,
Spoken so low that cnly angels heard;
The secret act of pure self sacrifice,
Unseen by men, but marked by angels
eyes
These are not lost. +"
The Kings Daughters, by their
very name, admit an unli lifted rela.
tionship to their fellowbeings; and in
ninistering to their wants of mind
and body, often where no human eye
sees them, are taking their places
amongst the worl1's truly great. :"
IF duty is performed, no mat er low
suall, ii is q noble deId. In TACT it
requires greater forgetfulness of self
to do small thing, which no one will
observe, than larger one which will
win the applause of all who witness
it SO let us appreciate the privilege
of doing little things where they are
of benefit to others. Each one of us is
fitted for certain duties, and if we
strive to finI out what these are, our
puzzle will he solved and some day
our work completed.

Parkinson, charged with burning his
store at PulltGte proved one of the
hottss: legal battles held in this court
for many years. Over forty witnesses

about 6 o'clock Monday evening, after
exceptionally brilliant addresses bg

hon A. Nj. Pepper for the defense,
whuo both added new laurels to their
