SOHAPTRR Y, About this time an incident occurred #f which I can speak freely, for I wit~nessed it ; Have I said that for years my favorite ‘walk ran past Tumbledown Farm? On 2 evening 1 had strolled gently there, and ~ before I turned my steps homeward it was quite dark. Just as I approached the garden gate I saw a woman in a lightcolored dress come up the hill, and immediately I heard a strong, harsh voice say: 75 that you. Vanity?” “Yes,” replied another voice, which I recognized. Walking as I was on the grass at the side of the road, my movements were noiseless, and the deep shadow of the hedge must have quite hidden me from view. My next step brought me close to the garden gate, and here I could see a tall man beating the ground with his walking stick in a violent way. “Late again!” he said, more severely than before. “Night after night you go wandering off, why or where 1 can’t imagine. Do you know the hour?” “Know the hour? Not I!” Vanity repiied, in a tene thinly disguised by affected gaiety. “Time passes quickly.” “When you are not with me, you mean,” replied the tall man. “You selfish, willful jade!” “Don't be ecross.” interposed Vaniiy. The white figure drew close to the tall | dark figure, and, as well as 1 could seo,i she laid her head ageinst his shoulder. He pushed her off, with a savage oath, and I saw him stalking back to the house. { In went the great strong form, after | followed Vanity's slow white figure; bang i went the door, and semehow through the crash I thought 1 heard a ery of [):lill} or fear. I You may be sure I turned this incident | over in my mind a good many times; and | though I made nothing out of it, 1 re-! solved to tell Willie what 1 had seen. [t i was clear that at present the old father | was not the only inmate of Tumbledown t I"arm; for though 1 could not discern any ] feature, the form of this stranger \\':m‘ that of a great able-bodied man. Was he a visitor only? Why, then, should hu! charge her with being late night after| night? And how should a visitor spo:\k% to her in so violent a manner? Was he a | brother? Was he a husband? One thing . was clear to my mind: Willie did not know about his sweetheart all that was necessary to be known by a lover. 1 resolved to start him on the track of inquiry; and ‘ it happened, curiously enough, that soon after he came to me to talk over his love } affairs, which had come to a erisis. l They kad arranged a new meeting place | —a little swinging gate, which you may see even now standing at the corner of the plantation. So far they kept up a pretense of accident in these encounters; and sunsel after sunset found them at this swinging gate, ready to stroll off different ways, if need arose. At last, one Saturday night, Willie resolved to speak his mind. Vanity 'was leaning upon the gate, swinging herself to and fro, fitting her white finger-tips into the blosscems of a long stalk of foxglove. A painfer might have chosen her as a model of a temyplress. “Yanity,” =aid he at last, and felt that this was a great stride to make in a breath. “What is it?" she asked studying the pink thimbie of foxgloves with the most alluring carelessness. *“Have you any news o tell me?” “What a white hand!” c¥ed Willie, feeling more himeself all of a sudden. “A pretiy-—littie—white—hand!” “There are no rings to. sct it off,” Vanity said, looking at her hand with a pout. Then her face rippled into a1 smile and a laugh. “Cover your hand with diamonds. covoer it until every finger carries a fortune,” Le cried, “and the hand would not leok 0 beautiful as now. Vanity, dear Vanvl “Yes,” she said. *“What bave you got to say to Yanity—dear Vanity?” She raised her eves, so that the last| beam of sunlight touched them and irradinted their dangerous brilliancy. “Mev I7may 1Y Wiilie trembled at his l own daring, yet he lifted the hand to his | lips while he thus asked leave to kiss it ! Vanity burst out laughing. “May I! may I! Os course you may!’ she eried. “Dear timid lad! Look here!” ’ light as a flying bird, and as graceful, | she touched his cheeks with her lips, | skimming away after a pressure which ! waould have scarcely hurt a buiterfly’s | wing. Bat her breath was on him, and | her aritliant laughing eyes were sparkling | close to him. Delight—delight with pain | in it—shot through Willie's heart. j “Can I pass now?’ demanded an imperi- | ous veice behind him, with marked amré phasis. *lf it will not be inconvenient!” Wiliie looked round. There stood Nan- , cy Steele! Neither of the lovers had no- | ticed her approach, for she had a ligh:, | swift step, and got over the ground quick- | I 1 “Is that you. Willie?’ said Nancy, | speaking now in her most i!fi‘l‘(‘t‘:i!r;t'i voice. “I did not see your face. What| a pleasant evening!” and passed by, show- l ing to him no vexation whatever, nor | even manifesting any curiosity. “Who is that?’ Vanity asked, disdain-| fuily. “Where does she come from? At jeast, where did her bonnet come from?¥”’ “She is only a <irl I know,” Willie re- | plied, hardly able to speak for confusion. | *Nothing more, I assure you.” § Courting was over for that evening. | Willie felt dashed by the sudden appear- | ance of Nancy. Vanity, too, assumed an | expression new to her—half angry, half | reileetive; and there was a coldness in% their parting such as might have signified | ihat their commencing tenderness wu:;i ready to vanish. | What thoughts were in Miss Vanity's | miand I cannot conjecture. As for Mas--ter Wili. 1 know he went downhiil hang: |

ing his head, repulsed, baflled, foolish, ready to abandon this pretty Vanity, ask | Nancy's forgiveness, marry her, and live | like a respectable man. f CHAPTER V. : Heavy was Willie's heart that night. | He was ashamed of himself, and dreaded | the thought of meeting Nancy Steele, but || events hurried him forward. Next morn- | ing when on his way to his place of business, he saw Nancy at a distance comiug toward him. She held her hand out in a | friendly way. “That was your Cousin Alice I saw with you last night, I suppose?” said Nancy, with a face of perfect gayety. “Certainly not,” Willie replied. ‘.What made you think of her?” “I felt certain she must be a near relation when I saw her kissing you.” Then she went on: “How many such Kkissing acquaintances haye you got, Willie?” “Well, you sce, Nancy—" Willie began. “I saw,” said Nancy, laughing still. *I had rather not have seen it, Willie.”” Now she looked sad. “Never mind,” she cried, with a smile, and a sigh, passing on: "l tell no tales.” That night Willie came to me and laid the whole case before me. “Tell me candidly, doctor,” he said, “what I ought to do.” “You ought never to speak to Miss { Vanity llardware again; nor to see her, if you can help it. I have a suspicion that this Miss Vanity Hardware has a secret to keep,” said I, resolved to tell him all I }know. “Have you ever seen a wedding i ring on her finger?"’ i “What?" cried Willie, leaping up as if a bullet had goue through him. } “I believe your sweetheart, Miss Yanlity Hardware, is a married woman,” I iwent on. “Mrs, Vanity Somebody, as sure |as my name is John Book. Don't hold ; up your hand, Will, nor lift your voice, | nor speak one word. I have seen that | woman's husband,” and I related to him . the scene I had witnessed a few evenings before. 1 “It is surprising—very surprising,” said | be, like o man trying to disbelieve what i he Ki®2ows must be true. “Bat this strang--1(-1' may not be a husband after all, doci dor.” ! “Quite true: he may not be a hushand; | let us hope he is,” 1 replied, determined to | give him my whole mind. *“Oh, Will, she i will make a fool of you. She was bm‘:al to deceive hearts like yours.” { Uphill he hastened with a beating heart. ! Semehow, as he drew nearer to the spois i\\'hvr(- he and Vanity used to meet the girl scemed to renew her enchantments. | l 1f she had any deep hidden trouble might * { not he be her friend and comforter? Ile I i was pondering that question in a warm ! i trausport, when he saw Vanity standing | before him. ‘ ‘ “L am glad to see you this v'.'vnin::."l she said, with a serious air. “'l'hzmkl (+od you are here, Wiilie!” f “Why arve you so glad 7 he asked. l “I{ have something to say to you, Willie,”” she murmured. “Something very serious.” Her voice was not the voice of love, Sad, timorous, full of foreboding, intimating a dark uncertain future. Willie stopped her. ‘ “Aud I have something to say towyou! | ‘ Let me speak first!” . % { She raised her eyes, and read in !ISS§ ! face what was coming. For a moment | | she seemed irresolute, not knowing wheth- ] er to speak or be silent: and he seized | ‘ his opportunity. Ie drew her to his side, | i and in a few low words told her how much : ' Ire loved her. ! l She could restrain herself no longer. A | [ sob, which appalled her lover, broke from g her ashy lips. For another moment she | 'sn'u;.:glml with irresistible grief; then all | ih«-r frame shook with crying, and slu-i | Luried her face in her hands. ‘ “Oh, Willie! my heart is breaking to- I night! Breaking -breaking! forever brok- ’ en!”’ | | Awe-struck, and scarcely knowing what z |he did, Willie took her hand in his. Bat | Ishn cast him off imperiously, and druwg { away from him, as if there must be a | | space between then. | f “It is hopeless, Willie—hopeless.” she | eried. ‘I love you—more, far more than yvou loeve me. But you can never marry me.”’ Willie remembered the story of the ’ stranger, and his heart died within him, ' | “Vanity,” he asked, with a faltering | 1(.-13;;«‘“-, “*are vou—married 7’ [ i1 “Married!! sbe exclaimed, her excite- | ! ment arrested by sheer surprise. *“What | | made you think of such a thing?”’ ‘ i She spoke as with indignation, but the | | tone was musie in Willie's ears. ! so #lf vou arc free,” he said joyfully; *if ! ! vou can return my love, nothing else s}m.‘}t | stand between us.” i “Is marriage the only bar that can ‘ ’ come between us?” she asked. “T know of no other,” Willie answered, | wondering and fearing. Then, with gath- { ering boldness, he cried, “I fear no oth- | L er!” ! j “Poor boy,” she answered, shaking her ; i head. “We have lved in different | | worlds. Listen!"—her voice became low ‘ | and deep—*"there runs between you and | { me (like that siream) something which | I must divide us forever. It is red as blood, ihu', as fire, cruel as death. I love you, ( Willie. Who counld help it? I might have i lived for you. God knows, this moment, 1 i | could die for you! But you must see nwe i i no more. There is something better in | store for you than my love. Good-by! | If you love me—if you pity me-—let me i go alone!” | He watched her as, with rapid steps, she | | hurried across the field to their own little l | zate: it swung back as she went through, { and when she turned intto the piantaitno, “”’ saw her bury her face in her hands. | Upon the peaceful evening air another | heart-broken sob was borne, like the last + cry of one drowning in some quiet cruel ‘ | sea; and then she disappeared. \

Willic Snow was | struggling with a rush of % and furbid, like 2 mill race; and yet be weighed his sweetheart in the bal w‘, more carefully than he could have wei; E ed her in his quictest mood. In common conversation she was frivolous ttnd apert; against this fault he put the tremulous earnestness of her voice in thilhii supreme moment. s e “Vanity loves me!” quoth the deluded boy. “That much is sure. Vanity loves | me—loves me—loves e tenderlyl”: = 4 After their parting at the brook ten days | elapsed without his seeing her again. Meanwhile, by every honorable me@“”%ﬁf"’ tried to learn something about her" md her father, but when the information he | ‘picked up was put together with ‘that | which I had learned myself elsewhere, we remained as much in the dark as ever. |} The Hardwares kept no regular servant. { An old charwoman was.engaged to a9 the‘ : housework and the cooking, coming in at | seven in the morning and leaving punctu- § ally at one. At five she returned, l;md‘-aiﬂ.: . such further turns as “'ere_.neqdful; “& at eight she left for the night. 0f.0,m : Mr. Hardware this womdn saw “tﬂe..ot‘:;‘ nothing, He never came down to break- | fast, and he would not ‘suffer her tple:teflﬁ : any room where he might happen to be. 4 Cross-examined, the old lady flec‘aﬁ Selse that no visitor ever came near the house. g ' Concerning the strange man whom 1 hag seen with Miss IHardware, she alleged” that she knew nothing of him. It was impossible he coulil be so often at the | farm without her knowledge. Was the | old gentleman a kind father? She dared | say; it was all coughing, and wheezing | and groaning morning, noon and nixl!t.‘j Did the old gentleman drink? Poor old-t soul! not a drop--lived on gruel and dry | toast. o . At last the lovers met again. One evening, as Willic leoked, with scarcely hopeful eyes, across their favorite field, he saw Vanity standing at the gate, waiting, as she had so often waited before. She was gazing pensively at the distant Lills, and did not see Willie until he was at her side. ~ “What brings you here this evening ¥’ e asked. “Fate!” she answered in a composed voice, as if she had prepared the reply a week before. “The last time we met you said you loved me—did you not””’ “Ldia’ “Vanity.” Willie eried, “I want nothing more in all the worid!” She logked up. “Yes, one thing more!” he cried; “yon love me—you are not married; yet you cannot marry me! What can the reason be? 1 have it!” he cried. “You have promised to marry some one else.” 1 have not.” “Then why may we not marry ?”’ “You must ask me no mere. If I let my liking for you grow into love,” sha went on, in a low voice, “I would love ‘ von till 1 died. You would take me out of myself, and hold me as your own. Do what vou would, be what you wounld, I could never take bavk the heart 1 had given.,” “Well, Vanity, what then?” “You could never love me so 0.” | “I should not. What do you mean?” | said Willie. “If vou knew that there was a faet iy } my-— life—an-—ineffaceable fact—whie ! would leave me onen to sudden shame {Hm:wthim: that children ought never té | know about a mother, that friends ought { never to know about a friend, that a hus. s band ought never to know about his wife, | unless he loved her with a love thal was !\.mqm-:u-i:;\ln‘.v what then?” | *I don’t quite understand you,"’ \\'illio’ | replied, hesitating, My love is unguench- § | able.” % “If all that were true of me, would yon i still say that nothing in the world could | alter your love?” § “Y.e-8,"” answered Willie slowly. “I be- | [ lieve so.” Then, after a paunse, he added, { “Os course, it would be nothing really disl graceful.” { Vanity rose with a sad smile. She | touched him on the cheek. She scemed | the elder and the stronger of the two. | *Listen,” she answered, in a tone that | sunk into his very soul. *“lf you had been i brought up all your life amongst ]wu;-}“’ | who were some thoughtless, some vicious, | some scliish, until you hardly knew that | | there was such a thing as goodness; and | {if, all of a sudden, you siw somebody é who drew forth a pure and noble love, i which flowed out for you like a delicious l stream, promising to gladden a hard, | scorched life; and if, just as you were go- | ing to drink, something told that you had ; no richt to that love—\Willie!

O, Willie, | | Willie, my heart is broken!” § “You are nervous and excited,” he saidg { soothingly. “You must be distressing | vourself without reason. Are we to part in this way?’ “We ave,” she replied, grown more comi posed. *1 have been foolish, and I must I pay the penalty. Forget me, Willie, for. et all about me! Remember me only as , a boy remembers his first love.” | “Am I never to see you again?" l “Never, except at this gate,” said Van- | ity decisively; “and never unless you sing | me here, without asking me to come.” | {(To be continued.) i oy Train Wreckers | An epideinic of train wrecking seems _gz_.,\ have breken-out among the boys |of the EKastern States.

At present Prof. | Trowbridge, of Harvard, is working on| lines similar to those of P'rof. !{m-nl;:un; and has succeeded in taking a series of | pictures that fully sustain the theory of | the German professor--that substances | can be photographed through opaque | bodies. | Invisible Photography. i The light which renders such photogI raphy possible is derived from radiant’ heat and is of wonderful peaetrative power. It is thrown upon the object to be phetographed by means of a tube known as Crooke's. This is a vacuum or airtight glass tube through which an electrieal® current passes.

In looking at the picture after completion it will be found that there remains only a faint outline of the flesh, while the bones appear well defined. In reality the bones appear as shadows caused by the fact that they stood in the path of the rays coming from the tube. In this way numerous photographs have been taken in this country with surprising results. Thus coins have been photographed through three thicknesses of leather, the lead in a pencil, three metal balls through a pasteboard box and two Gimes through an inch of wood. But the most notable experiment, by Prof. Roent-

gen, which illustrated with graphic clearness the eccentric power of the new dis- | covery, was the photograph of a man seat- : ed beside a young lady before the photographer in ordinary dress, but whom the | negative shows a perfect skeleton. To | test the clearness with which the new | process would reproduce the skeleton of | o living subject negatives were also taken | by the ordinary method. In the first case | the spinal vertebrae were reproduced in every detail, forming a ghastly specimen of realism. Again, an ordinary iron weight was placed inside a wooden box one and onehalf by three feet. In the picture the weight alone ean be seen, the box having apparently vanished in air. 'This latter was considered a crucial test, and demonstrated beyond the possibility of a doubt that only a few of the wonders the new process will accomplish have been learned. This process of photography, however, is only applicable to organic substances or those of the animal and vegetable kingdoms. When metal is encountered the radiant heat rays do not penetrate it. Strictly speaking, radiant heat rays are by no means a new light, but Prof. Roentgen has, by experiment, gained the ability to secure special rays with which scient ists are not familiar.

Story of the Case. Daniel Kellar, his wife, Nannie, and his sister, Maggie Keliar, were on Friday acquitted of the murder of Clara Shanks. The case was tried at Terre Haute on a change of venue from Parke County. ;l‘he body of Clara Shanks was found in '“ olf ereek near Waliace, Ind., the morning of July, 7, 1805. She had not been seen since she left her home the previous afternoon. She was then apparently in great distress of mind, due, it was believed, to a story circulated by Daniel Kellar and his wife that she had been on intimate terms with Kelar, Suspicion pointed to Kellar as her mur~derer, but he was a prominent man in the little community of Wallace, ﬁ&.\ﬁuﬂ‘much as there was no positive evidence of ‘his guilt at the time, the coroner’s verdivt was that Miss Shanks came to her death by suicide. i ; Mark'p_of Violence Found. Later a number of disinterested citizens combined to bring the law to bear upon the murderer, whoever he might be. The body was disinterred, and many marks. of violence were found upon it. The back and neck were both broken—good evidence that she had not committed suicide. A subseription was raised and Deteces tives Byrnes and Webster of Indianapolis were cmployed upon the «use. Three days later Daniel Kellar, his wife. Nannie, and sister. Maggie, were placed under arrest, Miss Shanks was 18 vears old and had borne an enviuble reputation among all who kunew her. For some reason Mrs. Kellar suspecied that her husband was tov intimate with the girl. and when he was accused by ber of it, he refused to admit or deny suech was the ease. Kellar's Dastar.ily Conduct. The husband and wife then visited the home of the Shanks, and in the young irl's presence Kellar made the admission. The girl flatly denied the accusation, but said Kellar lhiad made proposals to her which she had repeiled. Daring the following night, which proved to be her last on earih, she secmed to suffer greatly over the impuiailon cast upon her, and next day sh+ ' [{ her home suddenly. It was | thers . at the tiine she had gone away to cbe sone with her sorrow, but now it {s | helieved she went te confront her slandere, There, it was supposed, she met a violent death at the haads of the angered wiie and disgraced husband, and to hide their erime they threw the body into the peol where it was afterwards found. Cost of the Trial. i With an estimate of SI.OOO for the expert chemist and 8600 for the six doctors who held the awtopsy ou the body of Clara \.\‘h viks, the cost of the trial of the three Kellars will be nearly $5,000. Judge Taylor of the Terre Haute court has made allowances for the costs since the case was taken there on a change of vepue, and the largest amonnt is $1,200 for the jury. It is understood that Parke County will ask IFountain County to pay |L:lif the costs of the case. Mr. Lamb has said that he will bring suit for Miss Maggie Keilar for SIO,OOO damages against several persons who were active in the prosecution. The Kellars returned to their home near Welf creek pool and do not expect to be molested. Carleton’s Poem in Real Life. Will Carleton’s poem, “Betsy and 1 Are Out,” has been enacted in real life in Carroll County. William and Melissa Long were warried more than a quarter of a century ago, and by their united efforts have accumulated 495 acres of land in Democrat township, stocked with sleek animals and supplied with good buildings and machinery. They have brought up a large fainily of children, mosst of whem are married and settled upon the broad aeres of the home farm. And now, in their old age, Mr. and Mrs. Long, diffesing over some trivial matter, have agreed to separate and journey down the shady side of life alone. Together they toiled to the top, but the descent will be made alone. They cailed at an attorney’s office and arranged an equitable division of the property. worth at least $30,000. Mrs, Long gets 255 acres of land, half the stock and implements and the old home. After the papers had been signed the aged husband gave her some money and told her to go out and buy a good dinner. Efforts of the children and the attorney to effect a compromise have proved un availing. mueh to the regret of the community generally, where the aged people are highly esteemed.
