He had thirteen months to serve. T,-. Gbarles Connor, of Anderson, Deputy Constable, several? weeks ago prosecuted several Baloon-keepcrs for -selling liquor on f Sunday This engendered a bitter feeling r all around, and the lodge of Red Men virtually took rp the quarrel, and Connor

was expelled. As a result, he is making it

his particular duty to see that not only the Sunday law,- but alsojthe 11 o'clock law is ', - strictly enforced. ' Wmi E. Curtis, the special agent of the $ Department of State, who has charge of the arrangements for the international ; ' American Congress, is receiving requests from numerous cities in Indiana to have a fc visit from the Congress when it goes to I Indianapolis. Mr. Curtis says he has promised that if the Congress can visit any city in the State outside of Indianapolis it will be Muncie, where the progress made by the development of natural gas is to be viewed. Elijah Gunn, a well-known Elkhartian, . realized that he was under the weather a ' few days ago, but instead of consulting a regular physician he visited a "Christian - science" healer, and was treated by him. He refused medical assistance, but con-

Physicians say his sickness at ' the outset was insignificent, and that regular treatment would have brought him around in a day or two. The litigation over the failure of Marsh Doherty, of Crawfordsvilie, carriage and wagon dealer, has taken a serious turn, the creditors filing a complaint alleging that a conspiracy existed between Fisher Doherty, Marsh Doherty, A. P. Ramsey, Assignee, E. P. McCloskey,County Sheriff, I the First National Bank, and others, to derraud them. Per contra, Marsh Doherty testified in court tkat one of the attorneys for plaintiff offered te take S300 and . use 400 in buying up the attorneys, by which

.was meant that a collusion would be formeu between the attorneys by which the ereditoi'3 were to re worsted. This is denied by the accused, and there is an ugly feeling all around.

At an early hour Thursday morning a mo'rose-Iooking couple were seen .wandering aimlessly about the streets of Windsor, Ontario. Eater in the day their dead bodies were discovered lying side by side in what is known as the old nursery grounds. The woman had been shot through the heart evidently by her companion, and an ugly wound in the man's forehead disclosed the cause of his death. Their appearance was that of a country couple in holiday attire, and it is probable they were visitors to the Detroit Exposition. From papers found upon the man his name was evidently Silas Bensmoro, of Rushville, Ind., and the woman was presumably his wife. The real estate operations of B. R. JVIusgrave at Terre Haute some months ago are giving cause for very serious concern. Two weeks ago it was alleged that he had forged the indorsement of the County Recorder on a mortgage calling for $2,100, and that he obtained a similar amount from theRose Polytecnic Institute, he being aided by the fact that tho first mortgage was on record. On Saturday another fradulent moi'tgage for 1,000. was discovered. Mr. Musgrave left Terre Haute some time ago to serve as treasurer of a large establishment at Kansas City, and when the

A Story of St, Valdntine's Day.

CHAPTER VI (Continued). ... I think," his sister continued; 'that a man's nature is essentially different from a woman's grander in some things, infinitely smaller in

bthers. His own love seems to fill his

life, satisfying" him by the measure it gives more than by that it receives, and so, by a paradox, it . is selfish. True love is not entirely in itself, it is dual; a woman's heart would wither if love did not come in as freely as it went oufc. Andrew, as well marry an abstraction. It seems to me you would cngo a wild bird for its plumage, and turn a careless ear to its song". What is it you love in Nell ? Is It her beauty, her gracious womanhood, or what?" 41 Janet,. it is just herself." 4Ko, Andrew, you have missed that. NelVs self is far beyond your ken," ."Then .how could it have stooped to Lyon Leslie? Ho loved many things far better than Nell Thanot. Then will you tell me why she loved him?,, "Why did she love him? curious fool, be still; . Is human love the growth of human will?'" And, feeling tat she could not bring her argument to a logical conclusion, and so convince her brother, for logic had no, place in the subject, Janet, with that unanswerable quotation, abandoned the topic.

A glance assured Nell that her old acquaintance Stubbs was beyond bu-

first questionable mortgage was discov- nuu cui xo nave ered it was sported that he was en route many hours to live. With much ten-

back to make needful explanations. He uiu uu

failed to reach Terre Haute and it is now

believed he has fled for parts unknown. The recent Legislature created a Live

Stock Sanitary Commission, whose duty

it is to see that contagious diseases are not allowed to exist among the domestic animals of the State. The expenses, ac

cording to the statute, are to be paid from J

any funds of the State not otherwise appropriated and no limit is placed upon their amount. Monday the commission met and desired the State Auditor to draw warrants upon the Treasury for about S1,00C, which is: the expenses so far incurred. This Auditor Carr refused to do, giving as a reason that he doubted the constitutionality of the law because it does not limit the amount of money which the commission may use: The commission appealed to the Attorney General, but learned the only course open was to institute mandamus proceedings against the Auditor -and allow the Supreme Court to settle the ques tion. A number of prominen t citizens of Indi

ana were, Thursday, invested with power by the Governor to represent the State at

nothing for him that no one could.

He replied that ho had an inner conviction that his case was hopeless;

. i but that he had had an idea a woman

doctor, being "out of the common like," might know something out of the common it was a chance, he said; and then he smiled a wan smile, adding And I'm one of a chancy lot, you know well. " After a pause, he added "But I always minded how you. got 'Dick7 the Squire's red terrier, through that bad turn he took of a suddint, and which we thought was poison; but as you said as was nothing but a spell of indigestion along of eating the pig's liver he stole. I said at the time to my missus that you'd make a rare yet. . An'. I was right, only you practices on two-legged animals. He was silent for a few moments, as if in thought, and his eyes were shut.

It is customary for the Governor of each State to appoint delegates to the gath ering. In pursuance of this custom the Governor has appointed as delegates R. M. Lockhart, of Waterloo; Robert Mitchell, of Princeton; James A. Harbison, of Breckenridge ; D. P. Monroe, of Saluda; Uriah Coulson, of Sullivan; J. M. Sankey, of Terre Haute; W. H. Goodwine, of West Lebanon; J. C. Stevens, of Centerville; J. A. Allen, of Rockville; I). J. Terhune, of Linton, and Henry F . Work, of New Washington . All of these gentlemen who attend the Congresses to which .they are appointed will experience the feeling of independence which arises from paying their own expenses. A CANADIAN CASUALTY.

Thursday night several thousand tons of rock slid from Cape Diamond, at the end of Duflerin's Terrace, to Champlain street, Quebec, 300 feet below. At the foot of the cliff is a narrow street, which occupies all of the space between the cape and the river. Along the river side of the street were situated the houses which were crushed by the terrible avalanche of 'rockIn May, 1841, a similar landslide occurred, .which destroyed several buildings and killed thirty-two people. From present indications it is feared that the loss of life in this landslide will be equal ly- as great. In 1852 another slide caused the. death of several persons about half a mile from the scene of the recent disaster. The street is entirely filled with the wreckage, and a large force of men is at work clearing it away. Several families are known to have been, entombed, and it is feared all are dead. About ten houses were demolished.' Sixteen people have been taken out of the debris dead and more are under the rocks. Twenty-five were seriously injured Twenty-one victims of the terrible land slide near Quebec were buried Sunday.

TITHES IN WALES.

The bitter feeling in Wales over the tithe question shows no sign of abatement. The opposition to the payment of the tithes is deeply rooted, and has its origin in the fact that, though the benefits for which this tax was an equivalent have long since ceased to be shaved by the people, all complaints and efforts to secure a repeal or reduction of the burden have been disregarded by the government. The office of tithe collector is just how by no

means an easv one to fill, nor oven a safo 1

one. In various places streets and houses : kU3,cd. ; , w are barricaded, and it is a task of great ' Anat ,ni-ht Stbbs- "nished the race

I was faithful to every hoss as was trusted to me, and, if a man's done his duty to his master here, mayhap his Master up there" pointing .upwards won't be so hard on him on account of other little matters. " 'Never mind the good you have done, Stubbs," said Nell, gently. ,40nly be sorry for the ill; that is all that is wanted. " . 'But I was main true to the Squire, I was," he persisted. , I knowed he hadn't a fardin' on Nettle, that he never laid nothink on races, and that if the. hoss didn't win the Derby, he was safe for the rest;, and as it was the matter of a couple pi thousand, and I was heavy on something myself, I took it. It was all Swelly Jock, it was 'im as called 'isself the Baronand I put a chunk of summat in the jock's glass afore he started; it was summat that had to do with the eyes, and he didn't ride straight; that was how it was. The jock it was Tibbies was queer like for some days after, an' the doctors called it 'cipient hapoplexy- Ah, miss, you were not practising then, or. we'd maybe not got off so free'." and he chuckled with a lingering spice of the old Adam. ,'Oh, Stubhs-, how -dreadful!" That was all Nell said. I sees it now, misB; at lea st it looks queer loike now; only, you see, I didn't dp any hurt to the hoss, and it didn't matter in a money way to master whether he won or not. But I'm real sorry, miss, I am now. Seems to me as right and wrong's got clearer to me since I've been laid by. You'll tell the Squire, won't you, when I'm gone? He's a grand gentleman, an1 mayhap he'll look at the bit of sod asUl cover me soon and say Stubbs, I forgive, you,' " When she got back to the Hall, Nell told the Squire the groom's story, drawing his penitence with a tender touch ; and the same afternoon , the great-hearted gentleman rode Nettle over to the Duke's stables, and took his old servant by the hand. . It was nearly four, and getting dusk; but the groom's cot was drawn to the little lattice-paned window over" the stables, and Nettle was led to a point from which he could be clearly seen. At Stubb's request, the window was opened; he was raised on his pillow. With a great effort, he uttered a long peculiar whistle, by which he had been used to attract the attention of the horse when he wished to put him on his mettle. In a moment the noble animal pricked up its ears, pawed the ground impatiently and whinnied. "He's fbrgiv' me too," said the groom. "He knows I wouldn't 'ave 'armed a 'hair of bis body. Just listen to him!" as the horse whinnied loud and long., "An' they call 'em dumb animals! Scorns to me as thoy knows 'ow to speak their thoughts better nor most folks:" - Thou ho made another effort, blew pnotber whistle, and fell back ex-

difficulty for the collector to- reach the persons of whom they aro to demand tithes. They arc then likely to find that those whom they aro seeking havo fled, as the approach of the official is heralded

from afarby means of guns and horns, tho j

CHAPXEK VII. Nell returned to her duties in London with eagor spirits, for. she was sure at hzarU Sho had refused her cousin

Andrew. His very faithfulness reproached her, and yet seemed to alienate her from him, for she had nothing, hot oven hope to give in return. "Noll, I shall never despair until I see ydu another's," were his parting wordsH .... A "And tiionP" she asked, as if involuntarily, wondering at such steadfastness. "And then I shall make the best of life, though' life will havo taken its best from me. I may Jill some other woman's needs; but none but you, Nell, could ovor fill mine." Tho conviction that Randall was not suited td his profession became each dajr stronger in bis sister. She felt that he had undertaken a grave responsibility for which he was constitutional unfitted. Tlie same conviction had lately forced itself upon Randall, and he chafed at the chains that bound him to his post. Hitherto he had had no very intricate case, none to which his knowledge had not been equal; supplemented by his sister's advice, and actual assistance in some instances. It was New Year's Eve. The twins had had a busy day, for the snow was deep on the ground, the town was full and there was inueh sickness abroad. They had dined and. were sitting over a blazing firo comparing notes of their separate day's work. "Thank goodness," said Randall, "my cases are all plain sailing. Now, if another hitch comes" meaning a case beyond hia skill "I'll throw up the sponge. 1 give you my word, Nell, I never tako on a new patient but I feel like a murderer; and, I tell you what in all seriousness if I don' t kill my patients, they'll kill mo! I'd never get through a consultation, only I do the Burleigh nod, and always side with tho biggest fellow. Thero are very few that like to oay 'ba' when Sir Billy Genera, as the wag:a call him, says 'boM Regularly established diseases, common fevers and epidemics, gout and all that sort of thing I'm not afraid of. One can't cure these things they run themselves out; all you have to do is to help them over the difficult passes. I don't believe in physicking, that has had its day; but its the intricate cases I do fear, and those you seem born for, I often think mother's right when she says you're no canny,'" . It is because they interest me ," she said simply, "and because I love my calling first and foremost. If I had any woman's future to hope for, any great object outside my work, I should not be what I am. Tho enthusiasm of humanity brooks no rival; to that and absolute concentration I owe my power and success." I think," said Randall, hesitatingly, " I might do something in literature; but that demands concentration. Nell, 1 should like to shelve it all. Rut for the disappointment of my father, I would; he thinks mo far cleverer than

you

"Dear father!" returned Nell. He's not so far wrong: only he's made the

mistake of putting a round stick in a square hole. I believe you could mako a mark in literature, you have a creative brain; science deals only with facts. Let us see, when our accounts are made tip for the year, how we stand; and, if my score is enough, why take your name off the door a few days' wonder that is all." ,, At that moment the door boll rang sharply; it was sudden call for Randall. . A Colonel Gordon , who had just arrived from India, had been taken ill. at an hotel near at hand, and required immediate aid. With a heavy sigh, Randall obeyed the call. 4Some intricate liver case, you may be sure, or chronic Indian fever, about which I know as much as of dentistry," he said, as Nell helped him on with his comfortable ulster. : It was neither; it was oven more serious, because imminent. A wound, caused by a bullet which had defied extraction, had suddenly broken out, and erysipelas threatened. Nell awaited her brother's return in much anxiety; she always was anxious when a fresh patient came on his books. In an hour he returned, looking jaded and worn. "What have you done?" she asked, after he had named the symptoms and described the state of the patieni He told her. Have you sent for a nurse?" she asked. "He said his sister, who is in the country, would be in town in a day or twp, and his own servant, a soldier, would be up in the morning with his traps; so I gave him a sedative, and told him I'd look in again before twelve. There's a good deal of fever; so there really was nothing more that could be done. -A housemaid is to sit up with him." "Did Colonel Gordon speak much to you, Randall?" 'No, poor fellow; he scarcely opened his eyes. He only knew I was a doctor, and never asked my name. He is a fine man, but terribly wasted. I dare say his sister will call in bee own doctor; if she doesn't, I shall suggest it. It will bo a long case, if indeed it doesn't end badly."

"Randall, I will go at twelve o'clock,

instead of you. up except the

take very keen sight to tell us apart in a dim light. I'll put on my ulster and a muffler." Sell spoke as one who would not be gainsaid; but, if tho truth were told, Randall had no will to gainsay her; he was, in fact, relieved of a weight. When the hour came, the brother and sister set off together. Randall saw his sister safe into the hotel, remaining in the neighborhood on a watch for her re-appearance. The patient lay on a half-tester bed, in a large comfortable room, where was a cheerful fire, near which, in an arm chair, sat the attendant, halfasleep. A shaded lamp stood, on a distant table, on which was arranged various cooling drinks, Before approaching the bed, Nell questioned the maid, who told her that her charge had slept for two hours, but since then had been restless, and calling for water or lemonade every few minutes, , "I don't think he knows very well where he is," said the girl; "he talks like a. man in his sleep, and nancies he's in a ship." Neil desired tho girl to fetch a candle, for which she had to leave the room. As the door closed a little noisily, the sick man moved and moaned. Nell approached the bed, gently drawing tho curtain aside. Tho flickering light of the fire's uncertain blaze, and tho dim reflection of the lamp revealed a man in the prime of life, but attenuated and worn. One thin hand lay on the coverlet tho bedclothes had boon pushed off the upper part of the body, as if in petulance of fever, and the broad chest fcihowed shrunken and hollow the face was averted. Neil quietly , stooped over and laid her fingers on the pulse of the extended hand. Ho gave a shiver, as if an electric thrill had passed through his body, and turned on bis pillow, opening his eyss bright with fever light. Neil

daggered back, clutching at a chair for support, "My love, my love!" she 6ried to her heart; but her lips wore dunfb. "Water, water!" the sick: mart roo'arid. With an almost superhuman effort, cho retained her consciousness; the very shock roused her to action aild to repression. Sho went to tho table and mixed a cooling draught. As she did io her

eyes leu on an envelope aaaressea,

a

1 'Colonel Leslie Gordon,

hero's name to the world. Well Nell Thanet know it! She had read of its owner's gallant, deed and her heart had felt pride id lier mother's countryman. Little had she" guessed that the Lyon Leslie, who had to her played such a craven part, was tho brave soldier of the world's and her admiration. Then she remembered that he had spoken to her of a bachelor uncle named Gordon, from whom he had expectations. Everything was plain id her now; and .very strange it seemed to her that sho had ndt guessed her lover's identity before. It was a steady hand that held the frothing draugth to the sick man s lips, and a firm strong hand that lifted tho hot head; but her eyos felt burning in her heads ley looked unnaturally largOi "Ohj so soothing!" he whispered looking gratefully into her faces She met his eyos daringly ; again he shivered, then, un recognizing, closed them in fitful slumber. When the girl returned;, Nell examined the wound It presented a a ugly exterior; but she kneV that the real mischief lay in the location of the bullet; tho exact spot of which had, Randall had said j hot boon disco verod; It would be a casoof the utmost ditficulty and far beyond her brother's skil l; but strange to say she felt no apprehension of her own. Standing ovor the prostrate form , of the man who had so heartlessly blasted her. young life, she vowed that to her hand, and hers alone, he should owe his. No bitterness, no reproach entered her heart, only a great pitifulness, and a sorrow for him apart from herself. She was standing by a grave though she knew it not, from which their could be no resurrection, the giave of her love; but the ashes were there and, ah, how tenderly the foot treads ovor the sepulchre of the dead; how holy seems their memory t Then she told the girl that a change had taken placo in the condition of the patient, and that she must remain beside him for tho night. She then left the hotel to make some arrangements, she said, and, aftsr a few explanatory words to her brother explanatory merely of the patient's state she returned, and, dismissing the servant, took up her place beside the sick man. The hours slipped by she scarcely knew they passed she took r.o uote of time. The reality of the stricken man, the strangely still room, v her presence there, seemed all a dim dream, and what had for these dividing years been but as a dim dream a vivid reality tho little stream, with its f ragilo freight of the blue forget-me-nots the quiet lake bearing on its bosom the one brave spray -the rapturous kiss, the spoken words, and the deep passionate gae of eyes too well

remembered. Swiftly, as in a panorama, that summer's day passed before her -it did not pain her:aow. Somehow her heart was at rest, the dull aching of the deep wound was over. At every movement sho beat over him, now easing his pillow, now laving his brow, then gently touching his lips with moisture, or answering his craving cry of "water" with cooling draughts. Now and again ho would open his eyes and look round, ss if expecting soma kuown face; but then she would stand in the shadow, or dr6 )p her head beside the shrouding curtain, and he would sigh and turn wearily away. And so the night passed. As tho faint light of morning appeared, the fever had ceased, and the sick man had sunk into a refreshing slumber. Then Nell laid for one brief moment her lips on his brow; bub it was only a kiss of peace she felt si te could .pray then. By previous arrangement, Mrs. Mclan, the old nurse who had been the twins' constant attendant, and indeed friend, since th?y had left their homo together, took Nell's place in the sick-room, leaving her freo to return to her brother. It was needful for her purpose that she should toll her brother that his new patient was Lyon Leslie, of her girlish love. Sho did so in as few words as she could command. He said very little, but ho threw his arms around her as if he would shield her from a coming sorrow, and hold her to his breast in a sympathising silence that tried her fortitude to the utmost. "Randall," she whispered, "do not fear for me. There are no birds in last year's nest;" but her voice belied her words. In the course of tho day Colonel Gordon's servant arrived from Southampton with his master's luggage, and, under Randall's superintendence, tho former was moved into quiet rooms within a few doors of his own house, and Mrs. Molan was installed in chief charge. A letter was written to" the Colonel's sister stating his conditon and the means adopted for his care. The attendance in tho day-hours was taken by Randall, in the evening by Nell. In her shrouding ulster and wrapper and low felt hat, she attracted no observation; if sho had. there would have been little fear of being discovered, so perfect was tho likeness between the pair, a likeness, intensified by similarity of dress. Fortunately for the parfc 2veil was playing, Colonel Gordon's sister was in delicate health, and seldom visited her brother in tho evening. A note was sent to her the last thing at night to keep her apprised 6i his condition. In this way Nell felt pretty secure from detection. Her directions, too, were always given to Mrs. Mclan, who generally, managed to find something for the soldier-servant to do a message, or clothes to airat tho hour of Nell's visit. And the sick man lay unheeding, slowly mending towards a partial recoverj'. Thero ' had been a consultation, at. which Randall was present, und it was agreed that, unless tho bullet was discovered and extracted, tho patient must eventually succumb to the wasting weakness induced by tho opon wound; and it was sottled that, when he had rallied sufficiently, he should be put under an ana3stljeticand the probe applied. ...... During these anxious days Noll sat late in :o tho night, deep in earnest study. Her face grew thinner and her eyes unnaturally bright. Eai.h evening, before her visit to tho sick room, she made Randall sit down and go with careful minuteness in o every symptom he had noted. Those she wrote down. Scarcely any words wore exchanged botween her and her old lover. Ho was generally inclined to sleep if not actually asleep, at the late hour of her visit: but, if awake, he would ak Junto arrange his pillows? as, somehow,
