Something I Was utterly wrong with the fellow. : Mrs. Doyle had not again ventured to ' show her red nose within the limits of the "bars," as she called them, a hint from Braxton having proved sufficient: but that she was ever scouting the | pickets no one could doubt. • Morn, noon and night she prowled about the neighborhood, employing the “byes," so she termed suclj stray sheep in army blue as a dhropof Anatole’s best would tempt, to carry scawling notes to Jim. ode of which, falling with its postmap by the wayside and. turned over by the guard to Capt.

Her customary Mcrcury. Dawson. had vanished from sight, dropped, with many ah- ■ other and often a better man. as a deserter. Over at Waring's abandoned quarters the shades were drawn and the green jalousies bolted. Pierce stole in each" day to see that everything, even to the augmented heap of letters, was undisturbed; nnd Ananias' drooped in the court below and refused to be comforted. Cram had duly notified Waring's relatives, now living In New York, of , , his strange and sudden disappearance, but made no mention of the cloud of suspicion which had surrounded ’ his | I name, Meantime, some legal friends I jof the family were overhauling the !

Then she struck some quartermaster or other and livad off him for awh|le; drifted over here, and no sooner did he arrive, all ignorant of her | presence in or .around New Orleans, than she began postering him again.

IX That night, or very early next morning, there was pandemonium at the barracks It was clear, stHl, beautiful. A soft April wind was drifting up from the lower coast, laden with the perfume of sweet olive and orange blossoms-- Mrs. Cram, with one or two | lady ft-iends and a party of officers, ■ had been chatting in l<sw tone upon their gallery until eleven, but f elsewhere about the moonlit quad- : ran gio all was silengotvhen the second relief was posfeL Far at the rear , • of the walled inclosuje. where, in def- < erencte to the manners and customs of war as observed in the good old days . whereof our seniors tell, the sutler's establishment was planted within I easy 'hailing distance d the guardhouse; there was still, the sound of modified revelry by night, and pokqr and whisky punch had gathered their devotees in. the grimy parlors of Mr. Finkbein, and here the belated ones taSmicd until long after tnidnight, as mosywfthern were bachelors and' had no bctVr halves, as had Doyle,- to fetch them lihme “out of the wet.” Cram and h^rfi4 utenan . ts '» with the exception of Doyle, were never known to patninizo this establishment, whatsoever they might do outside. They had separated before midnight, and little Pierce, after his customary peep into Waring's preserves, had closed , the <loor, gone to his own room to bed and to sleep. 'Ferry,, as battery officer of the day, had made the rounds of the stabljesand gun shed-about one o'clock, and had ehcountered'Capt. Kinsey, of the ihfantry, coming in from his long tramp through the dew-wet field, returning from the inspection of the sen-try-post at the big magazine. “No news of poor/ Sam yet, I supposel?" said Kinsey, sadly, as the two came strolling in together through the i reargate. “Nothing whatever," was Ferry's ansvf cr.. “We cannot even form a conL jectijire, unless he, too, has been mar i derefd. Think of there being a war- ' rant/ but for his arrest—for him, Sam Waring!” “ijVell,” said Kinsey, “no other conclusion could be Xvell arrived at, unless that p<K>r Doyle did it in a drufikenrow.

He’s afraid to leave, him, really, ■/ and Doyle's afraid to be alone—thinks ; the [Old woman may get in.” “She has.no excuse for coming, cap- / tain,” said Ferry. “When she told Cram she must see her husband to-day, tbajt she was out of money and starving. the captain surprised her by handing her fifty dollars, which is much moye than she'd’iiave got from Doyle. She took it, of .course, but that isn't what she watfted. She wants to get at , him. ; She has money enough.” MYes, that.woman’s a terror, Ferry.

The old woman can't get at him unless she bribes ; my- sentries dr rides the air on a . broomstick, like some other old witches Ire read of.

This thing weighs on my mind.” "Done with you, for an hour any- i how!” said Ferry. “Just wait a minute till I run up and get my,baccy.” l*n sently down came the young fellow again, meerschaum in hand, the moonlight glinting on his slender figure. so trim and jaunty in the battery : dress.

The riding breeches, | top boots and spurs were such that even Waring could not criticise. His >al»er gleamed in the moonbeams, and Kinsey's old leather-covered sword | looked dingy by contrast.

Jan. 20.—George H. Painter was hanged in the corridor of the county jail at 8:03 a. m. Friday for the faurdes of Alice Martin. The execution was marred and delayed by , an unfortunate accident. At the first attempt made to carry out the sentence of the law at 7:59 the rope broke, carrying the condemned nian to the ’floor withji heavy crash. Blopd streamed from a wound in his head and dyed the white shroud in i which his form was enveloped with , deep crimson stains ' The spectators —there were not many ' of them—jumped from their benches and chairs as the body struck i ■ GEOROE H. PAINTER the floor. Dr. Fortner i and tho' other physicians and jail officials hurried to its : side, but there Was hot a movement to indicate that life still existed; While the shroud-en-veloped and bloodstained body lay at, one side of the scaffold with the physi-. ciatisihoveringofer it, the drop was put back in place and a new rope was' strung. Then the laxly dragged to the droh again, while suddenly cries from'the prisoners .in other parts of the Jail broke in upon the almost deathlike stillness. They had in some way learned that the drop bad fallen. The cries and shrieks were taken up from cell to cell, and from tier io her until pandemonium seemeii to have broken loose. The bailiffs were sent back to stop the thrilling clamor. There was a pause in the proceedings until the cries could be stopped, and then the body was placed a second time under the rope. Tt was a difficult task fb fix the noose, »and the scene •was revolting. Blood had trickled to the, bottom of the shroud and the hood was saturated. The; neck had been" broken in the first fall and the' head had to be held up while the noose was put over it was found that with the body flat on the droji there would.be almost no fall, an,! it had to be pulled Lack to the inner edge, where it could be supported in a sitting position by one of the jail officials standing on ‘.he more solid part of the scaffold.. It seemed a long time, but in reality it was. only four-■ minutes from thetime’lhe drop fell the first time until Jailer Morris gave .’the signal aud it again fell It was 8:03 o'clock when Painter's body straightened out at the end of the rope after fall and at 8:18 he was pronounced dead. Painter kept up his courage to the last. He had taken liquor to strengthen him before beginning his march to the scaffold. He walked to the platform without a tremor. On the scaffold he ma'de a brief speech, concluding as follows: ' . •‘lf I killed Alice Martin—the woman I dearly loved, the woman I loved so much that I wohlil have almost committed a crime for her’ 1 1 prav this minute—my last minute oh earth , — that the Eternal God will put me into eternal hell Look i-ere, gentlemen, It there is one man among you who is an American, I say to you-on his soul—on his soul, I say, See that the murderer of Alice Martin is found.
