Betty sets out For Tennsssee.

Betty Sets Out For Tennessee.
Bruces first memories had to do
with long nights when he perched be-
side his father on the cabin roof Of
their keel-boat and watched the stars
or the blurred line OF the shore where
Il lay against the sky, or the lights on
other barges and RATS drifting as they
were drifting. with their wheat and
corn and whisky, to that common
market at the rivers mouth.
Bruce Darlington had seen the day
of barge and raft reach Its zenith. had
heard the first steam packets shrlek-
Ing whistle which sounded the death
knell of the ancient order, though the
shifting OF the trade was slow mat
ter and the glory OF the old did not
pass over TO the new at once, but
fingered still In mighty fleets Of RATS
and keel-boats and in the Homeric
carousals OF some ten thousand OF
the half-horse. half-alligator breed that
nightly gathered in New Orleans.
After the reading OF the warrant
that morning. Charley BALKAN had
shown Darlington the road to the
Forks. assuring him when they separ-
ated that with little care and decent
use OF his eyes IL would be possible
TO fetch up there and not pass plumb
through the settlement without know
ing where he was.
He was on his way to Fayetteville.
where he intended to spend the night,
and perhaps day or two IN looking
around. when the meeting with Betty
and Murrell occurred. The girls face
remained with him. II was a. face he
would like TO see again.
He was still thinking OF the girl
when he ate his supper that night at
Cleggett's Tavern. Later, IN the bar.
he engaged his host In idle gossip. He
had met gentleman and lady on
the road that day. he wondered. as he
toyed with his glass. II II could have
been the Ferrises? Mounted? Yes
mounted. Then II was Ferris and his
wife-or II might have been Captain
Murrell and Miss Malroy Miss Malroy
did not live In that part Of the coun-
try; she was q friend OF Mrs. Ferris
belonged In Kentucky or Tennessee. or
somewhere out yonder-at any rate
she was bringing her visit to an end,
for Ferris had instructed him to re-
serve a place for her In the north
bound stage on the morrow.
Darlington suddenly remembered
that he had thought of starting north
In the morning himself
The stage left at six. and as Car
rington climbed to his seat the next
morning Mr.. Cleggett was advising the
driver to look sharp when he came to
the Barony road. as he was to pick up
party there. II was Darlington who
looked sharp, and almost at the spot
where he had seen Miss Malroy the
day before he saw her again. with
Ferris and Judith and a pile OF luggage
bestowed by the wayside Betty did
not observe him as the coach stopped
for she was intent on her farewells
with her friends. There we're hasty

gathered that she was going north

ton was some point either on the
Ohio or Mississippi and that her name
was Betty. Then the door slammed
and the stage was In motion again.
All through the morning they swung
forward In the heat and dust and
glare, and at midday ratified into the
shaded main street Of sleepy village
and drew up before the tavern where
dinner was waiting them.
Betty saw Darlington when she
took her seat. and gave a scarcely per-
ceptible start OF surprise. Then her
face was flooded with a rich color.
This was the man who saw her with
Captain Murrell yesterday! There was
q brief moment OF irresolution and
then she bowed coldly.

days OF hot, dusty travel, four nights

where Betty suffered sleepless nights
and the unaccustomed pangs OF early
rising. She occasionally found herself
wondering who Darlington was. She
approved OF the manner In which he
conducted himself She liked man
who could be unobtrusive
The next morning he found himself
seated opposite her at breakfast. He
received another curt little nod, cool
and distant, as he took his seat

Darlington.

Darlington. "And happen to be a

Going After The Best Men

While the standpat organs are sore
ly lamenting the appointment of a
number of Democrats to responsible
positions In the state service, the
great majority Of people are glad
Michigan has at last elected gov
ernor who Is not afraid to step outside
the regular channels and invite the
best possible service from the best
qualified kind OF men, regardless OF
party. In his appointment OF Edward
Frensdorf, of Hudson. to membership
on the governing road of the jack
son prison, he has selected gentle
man who 10 a first-class business man,
and who has been selected because
Of his business qualities and not be-
cause of any political manipulation.
Frensdorf will make strong business
man on the board and 1t Is reasonable
to expect that there will be many
changes for the better when the gov
ernor gets the board organized on a
business rather than a political basis.
The appointment Of Jim Helme to the
state dairy board was one Of the best
possible. What Jim Helme doesn't
know about the dairy business is hard
ly worth knowing. He has long been
noted as one OF the best in the state
in his line, and his appointment in
sures good work for he is not catering
now, and never has, to the politicians.
In this city Gov. Osborn was ready TO
appoint a well-known Democrat to a
position of responsibility in the bank
ing department of the state, but the
gentleman could not accept. His quail
ications were unquestioned, and the
broad view taken by the governor that

The Custer Fire Near GrantsviIle

To the Editor of The Republican:
So many misstatements have been
circulated about the recent Custer fire
that perhaps something reliable might
be IN place.
The fire was discovered by Mrs. Gus
ter in a room adjoining the one in which
Mr.. Custer and three children slept. 1t
is thought that the fue first caught fire
and the fire fell into the room because
of loose fiuestop. At any rate the
fire had gained but little Roadway when
discovered. When Mr. Custer dashed
a bucket of water upon the fire it sud
denly burst forth and in an instant the
entire room was ablaze. This was
probably caused by the lamp exploding.
Practically every thing was destroyed.
The house had been formerly insured
but this had run out. Donations, sub
scriptions and gifts have been given ag-
gregating more than $500. d.

.FITzHUGH GOLDSBOROUGH
SHOT HIMSELF IN NETWORK
After Attempting the Assassination Of
David Graham Phillips.

/
A telegram dated at New York Mon
day says:
David EGraham Phillips, author, and
writer upon sociological problems, and
shot down as he was on his way to the
Princeton Club in East 21st street this
afternoon by Fitzhugh C. Goldsborough,
a musician who had lived at the Rand
School Of Social Science, at No. 112
East 10Th street.
After firing six bullets into the help
less author, Goldsborough turned his
Colt magazine revolver upon himself
and sent a bullet into his brain. Colds
borough fell dead to the sidewalk.
Phillips was hurried into the Princeton
Club and then to the Bellevue Hospital.
where the surgeons said late tonight
that he might recover as none of the
six bullets had reached vital spot.
The motive for the shooting of Phil
lips is only limited at because of a re
mark Goldsborough made to DR.. George
Maurer, who had treated the musician.
When Goldsborough saw the physician
three weeks ago he stated that there
was an author who had written some
thing that reflected upon his family in
Washington. He made no mention of
Phillips in connection with the author
he then had in mind
Before he left his home at the Ma
tional Art Club to go to the Princeton
Club this afternoon shortly before the
shooting, Phillips got telegram signed
with his own name, in which he was
warned 10 look out for his life. 1t is
supposed the telegram was sent by
Goldsborough.
The shooting occurred at 1.45 o. clock
this afternoon while the sidewalks were
crowded with pedestrians. Phillips
was two doors from the Princeton Club
when Goldsborough, who was walking
in the opposite direction, suddenly
wheeled round and stopped. Before
Phillips knew what was up, Goldsbor-
ough pulled the revolver from. his hip
pocket and began firing. Phillips stag
gered at the first two shots and felt for
support on a railing. While the author
was trying to hold himself up, Colds
borough pressed the revolver against
Phillips and fired four more shots. As
pedestrians went 20 his assistance,
Goldsborough pointed the revolver at
his own head and fired the shot that
ended his own life The wounded man
was taEen INTO the club house where an
ambulance was summoned and he was
Immediately removed to the hospital.
The Would-be assassin and suicide was
the eldest son of DR.. and Mrs. Edmund
X. Goldsborouge of Washington, D. c.,
and Oakland. He was born here about
thirty years ago and spent nearly every
summer in Oakland at his parents home
on Oak street. His family have been
prominently identified with MARYLAND
history for many generations. As a
young man Fitzhugh Goldsborough was
looked upon as being somewhat peculiar.
He was a finished musician and appear
ed before Oakland and Mountain Lake
Park audiences quitetfrequently.
The winter home Of the Goldsborough
family is on K street in Washington, D.
c., where the father Of the young man
said Monday night that he was at an
utter loss to account for the action
of his son.
