came along. He was man who had

had been engaged to at twenty got
lost In huckleberry swamp and died
of exhaustion. He vowed to be true
to her memory, but when he heard Of
that legacy It occurred to him that the
huckleberry girl. as an angel up above
would be only too glad to see him get
ting along in this world below. He
therefore called on the widow. He had
meant to call years before. but that
vow had kept him from it. Would
she be his?

When the widow Collville received
a legacy of $4,000 she sat down and
did some serious thinking. She had
been widow for five years, but was
one Of the overlooked. That is, be-
cause she had been left in poor cir
cumstances, she had not been sought
by any of the numerous widowers as
a wife. The time had now come when
she would be.
Mrs. Collville had had plenty OF
time during her widowhood to store
her mind. She had run to romance.
instead of cook books and family al
manacs.
The widow didn't say to herself
that she wouldn't marry again. but
she said that If she did 1t would be
hero A hero might be slow in COM
ing along, but she had plenty Of time
to wait.
1t wasn't fortnight after the news
OF that legacy got around that Dea-
con Hindman made an afternoon call
on Mrs. Colville. He was all dressed
up and had his boots creased. For
fve years he had simply nodded to
her when they met. For three years
he had been looking for a second wife
looking right over her head and
beyond. And now he entered her
house with bland smile on his face
and he gave her hand hearty
squeeze. and without saying a word
about the cash he complimented her
on looking younger and many other
things.
The deacon had q home, he said
1t was now desolate home, because
there was no wife there. Let bright
star step In there to cook, sweep
bake, make the beds, put up the fall
pickles and be mother to the five
children with unwashed faces, and his
house would be paradise on earth

the window Of the private apartments
OF the Presidents Palace, when, by di-
rection of Judge Miyeres, who is con-

was made for the information OF the
court.
The same ambulance which was used
when General Guerra was shot started
from the palace door halting directly on
the spot between the palace and the
Senate, where the shooting began. Gem
eral Guerra, limping painfully. entered
the vehicle with the Judge and counsel
and repeated his testimony OF the affair.
The positions OF his three alleged as
