The weather during the past week has

If by magic, allowing us once more to feel
the cheering influence of sunshine The sky
is as clear as the conscience of saint and
as cloudless as the face of bride during the
honeymoon. In unveiled splendor the ma
jestic king of day cleaves his path through
the blue vault of heaven, tinging the face of
Nature with his golden rays, warming eve

breezes which float over Araby the blest."
How typical of the ever-ehanging phases of
human life, the weather is. Hope is the sun
Of mans existence. When nothing disturbs
the happiness of the present, when the future
looks bright and joyous and not shade of
sorrow oppresses the heart. when it seems as
though one had but to wish. to have it graft

and temptations, thick as those encountered

tedious way unenlivened by single Joy. The
weather clears up. A ray of sunshine pierces
through rift in the clouds and illuminates
his pathway. Hope. bright, radiant hope
again springs up in his despairing heart, and
with renewed vigor and courage he presses
forward. Prosperity smiles upon him. the
dark billows of adversely roll back before his

no one there, the family having gone to
spend the day witha near neighbor. She
waited awhile and then set out for the
place, rightly Judging as to where they
were gone. Arriving sss passed the
time in her usual social manner. Turner
and his young wife were there but no
suspicious of her intent crossed the
mind of any one. But it would seem
from an expression that tell from his
lips, that Turner either feared or felt
some forebodings. of evil, remarkipg,
as he did, to the man of the house during
the day, that he wished Livernia would
leave as he did not wish to be where she
was. ~s..t. s..-iy ss... ....,


In the afternoon, as the day began to
wear away, Mrs. Turner remarked to her
husband that, feeling somewhat indis-
posed, she would return, and he could
come when he got ready, and left. Ii
vernia still remained, watching for a suit
able opportunity toaccomplish her object.
AT length Turner went out and was miss
ing she inquired of the lady of the house
where he Was. She informed her that he
had started home, whereupon she went
out, and seeing him going off, called to
him to stop, that she had a word to speak
to him. He stopped while she advanced
to within some thirty steps, when she
fired, the ball passing through the skirt
of his coat, upon which he broke to run.
Not to be foiled in her attempt, she pur-
sued, firing as she ran, and the second
fire brought him to the ground. She
then walked up leisurcly, firing until she
had put three or four leaden balls into
him, which made sure work.


On returning to the house, the lady as
tonshed at so unexpected all event and
coming from such an unexpected source
said to her: go, Livernia, why did you
do so?" She calmly replied, ''He killed
one who was as dear to me as life, and l
had to do it.'' She then drew out an
other revolver and went skipping along
the path homeward, feeling that she had
accomplished a long cherished object of
avenging the death of loved one.


Thus within five months from the day
the young man fell, his three assassins
had all met their merited fate; the most
daring one, and the one which finished
the foul deed falling by the delicate hand
of tender girl.
