again until wewere standing just outside the entrance
to the Castle platform in blaze OF light of set piece
of the King and Queen.
He came up behind me and he whispered his
voice vibrating with passion:
Gunevere, the general is now going back to play
bridge at Palestine '-Agernon is talking to the
Welbrooks in that jolly young party and the moment
this glare is over they will all go and listen to the
music as they did last night without his Joining
And the music does not finish until eleven O'Clock as
you know. Directly everyone turns back toward
the band, say good night to our hostess put your
scarf over your head and 90 down to the landing
stage, my launch will be waiting, very few OF the
other yachts boats are there yet shall already
be in it and we will 90 off to the HeymiOHe and have
an hour in peace. Then will take you to the GUM
egeye and return in time to pick up Algernon telling
him you were tired and went straight on board.
The GaiHe9ercs boat is to wait for the general"
He did not remain for my reply, but stepped in
among the crowd and was too moved and miserable
to think of dsobeying him.
Letitia was nowhere about she was dining on an
other yacht and had not landed at all tonight.
There was nothing particularly compromising in my
gongo fromthe steps in Hugh's launch it had taken
us a often before and might really have been return
ing to our boat But still it the first time my lover
has ever CHANGED anything for me. The passion him
must certainly have risen to a terrible height

into her get along"
And these are almost the only times we have been
absolutely quite alone, but there have been many
different hours of sitting the deck together and
talking in happy peace, while Humphrey and Sir
John moved within view.
Algernon, who came two days ago, is perfectly
enchanted with everything He is absolutely fear
less always and ready to chance any danger if he
can only find one to indulge in. He seems to have

not tell Humphrey of course and yet it worries me
to see these photographs, though there is nothing

show that the Indifference to female Establishment

longer as a child.

to make love to me and this drove Hugh perfectly
mad; he was sitting opposite and Humphrey on the
same side Of the table. There was no installing
the purport Of the Irishmans speeches and his
attitude and whole manner expressed the most
elaborate devotion. The last two days have been
extremely difficult for Hugh and me, we have not
once had chance to be for an instant alone and
as ever, the gall of these restrictions has acted
upon him to produce the same passionate unrest.
His face at dinner was thunderous with jealous
fury. | spent a time of terror in case Humphrey
or any OF the rest OF the party would notice it. The
moment we had finished, we all moved out into the
garden together to have our coffee quickly to
get back to the Squadron Gardens in time for the
fireworks And the amourous Irishman was making
his way to me when Hugh deliberately stepped in
front of him and sat down in the chair and with
supreme insolence then apologzed to Captain O Cor
man. but did not attempt to give up the seat.
His eyes were blazing as he whispered to me:
"Guinevere, | will not bear it. You belong to
me- how dare you let that brute sprawl over you at
dinner"
And for the first time in our knowledge of one
another fired up and answered haughtiy:
And how dare you speak to me like that?"
His face quivered with angry pain, while he drew
in his breath and shut his lips like wise Irepented

1t is stated by those who know that
the arrest is the result of withdrawal

which he was released on at the time
of his arrest several weeks ago. SYM
pathy that was first expressed for Ca
son at his home town is now passing

Joe ]. Battle, the wealthy live stock
dealer, who has been out under $4,000
bond, charged with the shooting of
Walter Brown, was re-arrested yes
terday by the sheriff and is now IN
Jail The arrest was made on the
order of Judge Thomas, of the south
ern circuit, who ordered Mr. Battle
to be held without bail Since the
shooting Monday Brown has been con-
fined to his bed as the result of the
| wounds sustained but according to
attending physicians there is no inn
mediate danger of his death
There are conflicting rumors as 10
! the cause of the trouble between
Brown and Battle. But it is generally
conceded that the alteration was the
elimination of a recent case in court
in which Brown was convicted for re-
moving mules out of the state to which
he had no legal title and Battle fig
ured as prosecutor.

4O-YEAR RECORD TO Be
BROKEN With HANGING
Judge Fosters First Client TO
Go to GaIIOWS

Atlanta, May 16. - When Carter
Tompkins goes to the gallows in Ea
tonton on Friday, May 20, Judge FREQ
Foster, of Madison, will have his re
cord of more than 40 years at the ban
broken.
For Judge Foster defended Temp,
kins, being named by the judge to a.
so, and there is no doubt that he has
faithfully performed his full duty in
the matter, up to the final appeal to
Governor Brown in behalf of his eli
ent.
1t has been rather a remarkable case
and Judge Fosters appeal at the ban
for Tompkins is said to have been one
of the most remarkable ever heard il
q Georgia courthouse.
Tompkins' crime was absolutely
without eXtenuating circumstances
Tompkins, Yves Davis and a negro wo-
man We're implicated in the murder
of Jerry Price, a venerable and inof
fensive Putnam county negro. Temp
kins wanted Prices wife and he plot
ted with Davis and the woman to put
Jerry out of the way In the trade
Tompkins was to have the woman and
Davis the milk from COW owned by
Jerry. Tompkins is said to have kill
ed Jerry.
Davis confessed at once, then the
woman and later the man. Davis and
the woman were sent up for life 1t
was in trying to save Tompkins neck
that Judge Foster made his remarka-
BILE plea.
Gentlemen, he said in effect, q
have practiced at the bar of the courts
of this and other counties in this cir.
cult for A years. I have defended
scores of men charged with murder
and none has ever yet met the death
penalty. All l ask, gentlemen, is not
to hang Carter Tompkins, and kee1
my record clean. I don't want it saic
that any client of mine ever went ic
the gallows. Tcmpkins may be gull

Or not John" had anything to do with
the long deadlock is a secret of the
jury room, and in the breast of Judge
Foster.
Without pay Judge Foster fought the
case through the supreme court, be-

brought it before the governor An
