over tho whip.
On the front seat Of the surrey were
Miss Sspphira and Bob Clinton. On
the back seat was Simon Jefferson
whose hairy hand gripped a halter
fastened to riderless horse; the very
horse wlich should have been between
the shafts of the Gregory buggy.
Miss Sapphira stared at Abbott,
speechless. So this is what he had

Abbott, in his turn. stared speeches..

Bob Clinton drew rein, and grasped
his hay colored mustache, inadequate
to the situation. He glanced reproach-
fully at Abbott; the young fellow must
know that his fate was to be decided
this very night.
Abbott could not take his fll of the

fancied aot far away. eyes glued on

He had supposed the horse grazing
near by, enjoying semi-freedom with
his grass. Now it seemed far other
wise. Miss Sapphira had even had
him telephone Bob to bring her hithsr.
With his own hands he had dug his
pitfall.
Fran. suddenly aware Of her ridicu.

laugh.
Bob Clinton inquired: Taking a

Miss Sapphira set her heavy foot

"Mr. Jefferson had to come clear to

horse. We were giving him a lift, and
had 70 idea-no hiea that we should

pended on it, Miss Sapphira could not
have withheld a final touch-"Pos-

to the ground, hardly SO soon." At
any rate, he felt that nothing was to

The verdict in the case of w. 8.
Frierson, administer Of the estate
OF L. v. Brown. against the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company, w. p.
Holman and J. w. Johnson, came to
a close last night in the court os
common pleas when the jury returned
a verdict Of $4,000 in favor OF the
plaintiff.
The case had consumed two days OF
court and il was after eleven O'Clock
last night before the jury decided up-
on a verdict, when which was left
sealed until this morning, when Il was
announced when court convened. This
case has attracted considerable interest
because OF the large amount sued for,
the verdict being just one-tenth Of the
damages asked for.
The arguments in the case were
strong ones on both sides and eloquent
pleas were made on behalf OF the
plaintiff and defendant by the attor-
neys on the respective sides and were
heard by a large crowd which had
gathered in the court house.
It is probable that there will be no

tired at night to do much more than

The Editor of the department makes
the following reply:
"If ever you needed courage and res

try to bear patiently with your hus-
band when he is weary, and help him
to make a brave fight against the temp
tation that has attacked him. Send
him away in the morning after a cheer
full meal, and prepare a good supper
for him, with the best coffee you can
make, so that he may be reinforced In
vitality in the evening. Do not scold
or complain, but set your face firmly
against the formation of the liquor
habit. Once established, It may chain
him and make him a slave. In the be-
ginning, your love may be his sheet
anchor. If he could get other work, or
your place of abode could be changed
so that he would pass through other
streets on his way home, the situation
might improve. Whatever you do,
