Knew the grief my heart within.
NOh! give me back my bonnie lad
None else my love can win!
Across the strand, far up the land
The fierce, wild waters swept;
Laid at my feet a burden sweet,
With smile as if he slept.
could not weep, so soft his sleep,
For fear 'twould waken him:
Peace! let him rest, God knoweth best
And the flowing tide comes in.

 One of the most brilliant functions ever witnessed at the ClUb was that given last Thursday night, the eighth annual ball of the Tpeadwell fremeD. Tbe large auditorium end billiard room were converted iate bowers of beauty by interested and Untiring workmen. Greens were used prof0sely, inter- spersed with clusters of poinsettas. All lights were shaded with beautiful red and green shades alternating, giving the hall a festive appearance. The stage represented typical forest scene, displaying sn artificial cataract rushing down the mountain side, form ing a gurgling fountain at it's base. The approach to the Olub was just as attractive accordingly, with It's rows of evergreens and alders extending to the boarding house, aud it is estimated 700 people trod "Lovers' Lane" as it was named, and apropos, that night. The aremen are famous for their spreads, and this one surely eclipsed all others. Streamers of pink and white flowers were suspended from the ceiling, pre- senting a most pleasing effect, while each table was adorned with a huge boquet of carnations. The happy crowd did justice aud quickly dis peneed with the eatables, which con sisted of salads, cold chicken, sliced ham, fancy cakes, assorted fruits, cof- fee and ice cream, before retRrning to the hall to continue dancing, The or chestra was up to the standard and played the most popular hits. The firemen hold an enviable record for entertaining, and deserve great deal of credit for this their latest achieve ment.
 Friday morning workmen were busy tearing down the beautiful decorations that took so mauy days to put up. The committee on decorations deserve com mendation Cor their work and praise of it is heard on every side.

found near the spot where the Hack ett girl met her death. are the cir cumstances on which most of the sus picion, so far as the upblic is con- cerned rests.
 This suspicion was a strong, tangi ble thing. Mrs. Raymond felt it's re- lentless hold until she almost went mad. But the officers of the law re- fused to arrest her until something more substantial was found against her.
 And it was not until April last that the authorities found sufficient evil dence to justify the arrest of the un- happy woman. It is the testimony of a man who claims to have seen wo- man near the place where the girl

hate, rang out. :.
 "There, you nasty, dirty thing, criel the voice.
 Farmer Hackett caught the sinister meaning of that tone. He ran to the house, Johnson at his heels
 He entered the house. 1t was emp y. He called his daughter. There Was no response.
 "Mattie, Hattie, he cried. The aw- ful fear was mounting in his heart.
 He bclted out of the house and be- gan a desperate search
 Johnson remained in the house.
 About forty yards down the road the farmer ran into the prostrate form of his daughter. She lay perfectly still. Blood was flowing from her nose. He thought she had been felled by a biul@eon and thas she was dead. He ran to the home of neighbor, a man named Cole. The two returned and together they carried the girl into the house.
 The front of her dress had been torn open. He started to adjust it and to his horror discovered that cord was buried in her neck. She had been stranglod, gorroted, like re- calcitrant favorite in an oriental harem.
 The broken hearted father thinks that she was alive when he first found her lying in the road. And had he known then that the deadly "weaver's krota was ahcut her throat, he could have saved her life He will never cease regretting-h will never forgive himself for leaving her at that desperate mcment.
 Levi Hackett turned in terrible wrath on Johnson, the tramp, and ac- i cused him of the deed. Johnson made no protes.. He remained there unt the arresting officers came and took him to prison. He confessed that ht had been released from another jail where he had been detained on charge of vagrancy There had beer three other knights of the roads Wltl him. A drag net was thrown out ant the three others were soon gathere' in They were hastened to their trlal but with little difficulty, establif

Before Raymond married the attrac- tive waitress he found much pleasure in the society of Hattie Haekett. He took her driving. And in many other ways he manifested his interest in her But the girl was preparing to equip herself as stenographer and had no time for serious thoughts of love.
 Nevertheless, it is said, who her name was mentioned n the pres ence of Mrs. Raymond, the latter would give way to wi.aa and unrea- soning jealousy. And ii her husband mentioned the girls name she would almost go .eside herself.
 This situation, together with the fact that a woman's foot prints were
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1912-10-13

eyes and phantom fingers pointed at her in derision, her lot became almost more than she could endure, and when, at last an officer of the law came in April last she welcomed his coming as she would a deliveranee.
 Never in all the history of the Maine woods, had such a crime been committed before. So cruel, so un- usual, so foreign to this section.
 On the night of August II, 1905, Levi Hackett, prosperous farmer, sat at his table surrounded by his family, peacefully partaking of the evening meal
 When the meal was over Mrs. Hack ett, left for a neighbors' house to make friendly visit, taking the younger children with her. Farmer Hackett got up and went to his barn to complete the evenings chores. Mat tie remained in the house to clear away the supper dishes and to set the house in order. She went to her task singing. She was young and light hearted.
 ' Levi Hackett was interrupted at his chores by a tramp, Alfred John son. who wanted to exchange a little work for something to eat and a nights lodgings. The tramps face seemed honest enough to the farmer, He would give the tramp a lift.
 But while there two were talking a sound of angry voices reached them. HacKett paid nc attention to it. The tramp was more exercised. He called Hackett's attention to what was ap- parently violent quarrel. The far mer dismissed it with the remark that it was. doubtless some children at play.
 Then he turned towards the barn to resume his chores.
 But he never reached the barn. A voice, the high, piercing voice oi terrified woman cried, you wretch. Then there was scream.
 Before the farmer had time to cease wondering whether or not the cry was serious, another exclamation smothered, SO that one could not tel whether it was that of a man or g woman. hut tremulous with an insane

their innocence beyond the shadow of

their innocence beyond the shadow of doubt.
 Then farmer Hackett declared his daughter had been done to her death by woman. In the first access of his grief and fury he had turned on the inoffending Johnson, but he had felt from the first that he "weaver's knot had been tied by tie deft hands of woman.
 The next step was to find woman who could possibly have motive that could impel her to do so foul thing. It was recalled that Elsie Hobbs, the country hotel Waitress, who had married Bert Raymond, the hotel host l Ter, was jealous of Mattie-insanely jealous. it was said,
