Arrow Shots.

I shot an arrow into the air. It fell to the earth; 1 know not where. —Longfellow. People cannot help judging a stranger who comes in town, a good deal by the kind of clothes he sends to the pantatorium to have pressed. A great many failures in life are due to too much visiting. Being a sucker runs in some families the same as stuttering. The head man is always a little the best, even if he is nothing more than bead book-keeper. The smaller the town, the more complicated and pretentious the high school motto. If you want a real mean, nasty smoke, let your cigar go out and then relight it. So many people fool away their time shifting around from one job to another, that they never find out if they can make a living at anything. When yon see people who are trifling, they do not keep their engagements. You needn't waste any time trying to showoff your baby to another woman if she baa a baby of her own. Anything you try to do meets with opposition. Bugs are in the cabbage. JJAs a man gets older, bis shoes get bigger and bis feet remain the same size. A lawn mower makes just as much noise if a doctor of divinity is pushing it along on the walks as if it were a gambler. We have discovered that the place to look for anything that you cannot find anywhere else, is on the lawn. Bet a crock of butter and a box o f matches aide by side and you will always stick your fingers into the butter instead of the matches, if you go after them in the dark. There are a good many grown up people in thia town that talk to themselves. A boy from a small town always lights a cigar when he comes to a bigger town. Just when one gets a big lot of mail and tninks be has got something, it turns ont to be nothing.

A woman who makes her complection with paint, attracts attention and she knows it. There is more difference of opinion about the relative merits of dentists than about any other profession. Some real pleasant days, one does not see a solitary good looking girl on the streets. There is nothing perhaps that delights a baby as much to play with as a lamp chimney. A newly married girl likes better to wear an old hat of her husband’s than a Gainsborough. Did you ever know how seedy a man looks without a collar. You wouldn’t know your own preacher. Nothing looks as cheap as a cheap man with a stovepipe h it and a cheap Prince Albert suit. “The doctors told me my cough was incurable.

MORTGAGE EXEMPTION.

An Indianapolis Judge Decides Same to be Unconstitutional. By a decision announced Wednesday Judge Allen, of the Marion county circuit court, held invalid the act passed by the legislature two years ago known as the “mortgage exemption law.” The case was filed by Maragret and Benjamin Smith, husband and wife, to compel Auditor Smith to accept a joint affidavit for exemption, when their property was held jointly. Hawkins and Smith, the auditor’s attorneys, argued that the law conflicts with the provisions of the state constitution, because in the constitution there is an expresa provision that no property other than that used for scientific, religious, educational, municipal or charitable purposes shall be exempted from paying taxes; also that its benefits could not be equally enjoyed by all property owners. This year exemption affidavits aggregating $4,600,000 were filed with the county auditor. Last year the total was 13,000.000. Both these amounts were deducted from the taxes. This money cannot be recovered bv the tax officers This decision will not have any bearing oh the action of the law in any other county In the state outside of Marion. The law will stand as n whole until decided unconstitutional by the supreme court. There is no indication that thia case will be ap paaied-.

THE IVORY QUEEN

CHAPTER VIII. THE IVORY QUEEN’S SECRET. There was no train back to Barnstaple till late in the afternoon, and Darrent filled in the time with a hearty meal and a long country walk, pondering over the discovery he had made that day and feeling that the latest phase of the case only tended to deepen the evidence that had already condemned Astray Marsden to the scaffold. When at last he found himself- alone in the train for Barnstaple, he drew from his pocket the paper that he had received from Miss Kingston in which the chessmen had lieen wrapped and scrutinized it carefully. It was an ordinary sheet of coarse trown paper with an adhesive address label, indicating that it had been expressed from Barnstaple Jan. 13, 1893. Darrent sat back in his seat in the smoker, lighted a cigar and ruminated. It was scarcely likely, he felt, that in the time that had elapsed, some six or seven weeks, the express clerks would remember who handed in that parcel or recognize the writing on the label Still, he would go to the express office directly on his arrival in Barnstaple and make inquiries. Suddenly the train pulled up with a jerk. Signals were against them at the junction, and they stuck for a good quarter of an hour, with the result that when they did get into Barnstaple the express office was closed. He tried to find the clerk, but failed, and then tew to kill the 12 hours till 8 next morning became the problem that sorely perplexed him, for he must stop in Barnstaple that night. Suddenly he recalled his friend of the Gaiety theater. From the highly colored placards that decorated the streets and the entrance to the theater he learned that an equally thrilling melodrama to that which was purveyed to the public on his last visit was in progress.

He found his way down the grimy passage again, and the stern janitor conveyed his card to Mr. Ridgeway and brought it backed with the message from the manager that he would be on the stage all the evening, but if Mr. Darrent would go in front and see the show Mr. Ridgeway would see him afterward, and on the card was penciled an order for a stall. Darrent glanced at the writing and received his second shock that day, and, instead of accepting the hospitality of Mr. Ridgeway, he paid his money at the door and carefully placed the card in his pocketbook. With the fall of the curtain Mr. Darrent reached the stage door and a couple of minutes afterward was in the manager’s room again. Mr. Ridgeway motioned him to a seat and awaited the commencement of the conversation, for, while he could not deny that, upon the evidence submitted at the trial, the verdict had been a just one, he did not somehow feel overamiable toward the man who had, bit by bit, built up that evidence. Darrent, who had great belief in the efficacy of getting home the first shot, suddenly opened fire. “Why did yon post a box of chessmen to Miss Ethel Kingston, Bideford, on the 18th of January?’’ he asked. The effect upon Mr. Arthur Ridgeway was instantaneous and aatorjahing. He simply collai>eed into the nearest chair and gasped, “How the dickens did you know?” “Never mind how I know. I ask you why did you do it?” “I did it for Astray Marsden’s sake. ” “Come, come, Mr. Ridgeway; this is a little too thin. It’s not a play, you know. ” “As sure ns heaven’s above us, Mr Darrent, that’s the truth." “Come, now,” said the detective quietly; “you’d better make a clean breast of the whole affair, or you may find you've pnt yourself in a very serious i>osition. ” “Huh Astray confessed?’’ “Never mind what Astray’s dona You tell me your version." “There’s not much to tell. I always liked young Marsden. I told you that when you came liefore. I always believijtn him and thought him a straight going chap, and so I do now, mind you." said Ridgeway. “80 Ido now." "Yes, yes; goon.” calmly interjected Darrent "Well, the day after the murder Astray came over here"— “Yes. I know.” —“looking scared and white, and bogged and prayed mo to go over to NoreomU* the first thing the next morning and to | ret. mt to Dobson, the chief of |M>liee tin re. that I was a detective and get him to give me a box of Iviry chessmen from the library of Th* Gfiin'e." "W< 11. von did. eh?" ' "I refn>w-<i ut tint, but Astray persuaded me. He told ae it might be a mutter of life and death to him and that ho must have ’how chessmen liefore any one came from Chicago. He said 1 was the only num who could do it and the «»iilv one he could trust. I

Kiageway, but it was not quite so clever to address the box in your own handwriting to Miss Kingston at Bideford. ” “I sent it there because I refused to keep them irr my possession, and that was the address Astray gave me. But how the dickens you found it out”— “Never mind how. I did. Now, Mr. Ridgeway, do you know anything further?" “Nothing, upon my soul" “Well, good night I shouldn’t wonder if you hear from me again.” And Mr. Darrent strolled down the narrow picture gallery, with examples of vice vanquished and virtue victorious, leaving Mr. Ridgeway ter ponder upon the position in which he had so suddenly found himself placed and to speculate what his misplaced generosity on behalf of young Marsden might lead to. marly next morning Darrent went to Norcombe, and, having obtained permission from the authorities, he paid a visit to Astray Marsden in the jail The time that had elapsed since his conviction had already had an effect upon the prisoner. He had grown very pale and sallow, his eyes were sunken, and deep black circles showed round them, telling of sleepless nights. Darrent gazed at him for a few moments without speaking, and Astray glared sullenly back at him, and neither broke the silence. At last Astray found his tongue. “Well, what do you want?" he growled. “Haven’t you done enough already ? Do you want to gloat over my misery? You’ve hunted me down like the bloodhound that you are, and now you’ve come to glory in your work.” “I have come," Darrent answered, striving to keep calm in face of the torrent of words with which he was assailed, “I have come for two reasons—the first, to bring you a message from the girl who believes in you still.

For heaven’s sake, leave me in peace until the end comes!” And, despite all Darrent’s efforts to get him to talk. Astray Marsden would not open his lips again, would not utter another word, but sat glum and taciturn, staring into space with eyes that saw nothing unless it was the ghastly outlines of a scaffold with a dangling rope. Finding it useless to linger, Darrent left the jail and returned to his own room at the Palace hotel and, having locked the door, took out the two ivory chessmen and carefully examined them. The pawn was cut out of one solid piece of ivory, with the exception of the fiat base, which, with a dexterous twist of his strong fingers, Darrent unscrewed.
