Skrce was forced to borrow money to
pay her taxes, and later to pay insurance
assessments. In her discouraged and

to burn her dearly beloved little home.

rude winds. she turned away from the
garbage barrel where she had Just placed
one of her best-laying brown leghorn pub
lets. With eyes blinded by tears, she
mechanically crept into her little wood
shed and. kneeling down commenced to
gather up the last OF the dusty, braky
chips that in more prosperous days had
lain unnoticed in a corner. Occasionally
audible sobs would escape her tightly
compressed lips while her worn fingers
raked through the dusty litter
Suddenly she snatched her hand back
and dried her eyes. Blood was tricklina
from one OF her fingers. More cautious-

ten months.
With bated breath and shaking fingers
she gathered the notes and counted
them. They amounted to 5000. Among
them she recognized several torn cor

she had SO carefully sewed into her belt
nearly a year ago.
She sprang to her feet with an ccstatic
little crop. recklessly scattering the chipS

When she told them of finding her

OF a burglar who did not return for tho

the mystery by confeesing that she was
a somnambulist, and possibly had herself

When Mrs. Skirce had retired on tha

friends of Mrs. Hager Skirce are greeting
her today.
Some ten months ago Mrs. Skirce, a
childless widow. residing alone in moo
est suburb of Columbia, S. c., was sup
posedly robbed of 5000. Her recent re
coyery of the money has caused much
local comment.
June -, 1913, Mrs Skirce sold small
building lot to Lawrence Mannerly,
merchant. This lot adjoined her resi-
dence lot, and was that good woman

lot she was wont to toll over orderly rows

could get for it, and she closed with MIN.

this money into paper denominations OF

throughout that first cruel day futilely

had so suddenly settled itself on her
threshold.

Ramabai conducted them into the pal
ace, thence into the throne room, gayly
decorated for the occasion. In a bal
cony directly above the canopy of
the throne were musicians. playing the
mournful harmonies so dear to the
oriental heart.
Upon the throne sat Col Hare, gor-
geously attired, but cold and stern of
visage, prepared to play his part in
this unutterable buffoonery. Near by
stood Durga Ram, so called Umballah,
smiling. 1t was going to be very sim
pie; once youder stubborn white fool
was welded. he should be made to dis
appear. and there should be another
wedding In which he, Durga Ram,
