The Vanstoue relations were vexed, the servants sulked, and the widow's son and daughter. Charley and Millie, just of age. imagined their prospects blighted. "Oh, tleorge, what shall I do?'' said Mrs. Beverley?which was the lady's new name?ready to cry. "Don't mind 'em, my dear!" said her husband, with a great, rolling laugh. "They're only children; they'll grow wiser as they grow older." But the squire's determined good humor aggravated his stepchildren more than any amount of positive opposition would have done, and they made no effort to conceal their feelings. "I never, never can call that man father!" said Millie. "My dear, he doesn't want you to," said Mrs. Beverley. "I can't endure the sight of him!" pouted Millie. "And Charley says exactly the same thing." "Charley is a disobedient, ungrateful son!" sobbed Mrs. Beverley. But here Mr. Beverley himself came to the rescue. "Young people," said he. "I don't object to your making yourselves as *w n n /MI 1 l\nf * /%? uiiduauic as y kju uui ciusiu t < torment your mother. I'll have none of this." Millie lost no time in carrying this revolutionary speech straight to her brother. "Very well," said Charley, coolly; 'we'll accept the challenge." 'I'll not submit to his tyranny," said Millie. 'Tye got a plan." "So have I," said Charley, "lots of em; only they don't, seem to work When I try to put them into practice." "I've been writing to Louise Vane," said Millie. "It seems to me as if I had heard the name before, now that you mention it," said Charley, rumpling up his brown, curly hair. "But why should you write to her??and what has she to do .with our affairs?" "She sympathizes so thoroughly with me," said Millie. "She considers second marriages as siuful as I do. And she has asked me to come to her and stay as long as I please. There is a nice hotel in the village, Charley; and lier father is very hospitable. And there is a fine supply of trout and delightful shooting, Louise writes, aud plenty of agreeable society." "Not a bad idea," said Charley, reflectively. "Oh, George, what shall we do?" cried Mrs. Beverley, turning pale when she comprehended that her children .were gone. "Give 'em their heads," said her husband, composedly drinking his coffee. "Never drive young colts with too tight a rein. They'll be glad to come back in six weeks or less." "But it's such a fuss about notkiug." x said Mrs. Beverley, half laughing, half crying. "That's the beauty of It," said her husband. "That's precisely what they . . enjoy!" and the jolly fellow shook jfvith laughter. Louise Vane received her former schoolmate with effusion. Her father, a stately, middle-aged gentleman, spoke a few kindly words of- welcome. "Oh, dear!" said Millie, when she ;was alone with her friend, "I do hope we snail not cusrurD Air. vane.' "Nothing disturbs papa," said Louise. ' "He will never think of noticing such chicks as we are. Every old maid and widow in the village has tried to marry him ever since poor mamma died." "How dare they?" said indignant Millie. "I think the Legislature ought to pass a law against second marriages. They are wicked, sinful; an outrage on ;V civilization.'" "Of course they are," said Louise. "But don't worrv. darling. Remember that you are with me now.*' And the two callow young doves fluttered into each other's arms, with renewed vows of eternal friendship. Three months of happiness at Vane Lodre followed. Millie end Louis.'; read their favorite authors together, - and worked hideous screens and impossible portieres in crewels. And all this time neither she nor r Charley wrote a line to Mrs. Beverley. "I am afraid they have discarded me." said the poor lady. "I fear that they never mean to forgive me," she added, with a deep sigh. "My dear, don't be a goose!" said her husband. "You don't regret our marriage do you?" "Never," said Mrs Beverley, with a gleam of spirit, "Neither do I!" said Mr. Beverley, !:iu?hinjr. But one day Mr. Vane railed his daughter into his study, with a serious face, and v.!:e:i she came out she was drowned in tears, and tied straightway to the haven of her dearest friend's ? ! room. "Iiarline:!" cried Millie, "what is the ! matter? Tell me. I beseech you.*' "The worst that could possibly happen I" cried Louise tragically. "Papa I I is jrointr to marry a train." Millie crimsoned to the very roots of her hair. "He told me so himself." said Louise. "I ISOVtT STOppeU TO ;1SK I1JH1 WHO Jl was t!:at was to desecrate our happy, happy nouse.

"P.idn't he tell you? Put It only happened this morning. Charley has asked me to lie his wife." "Put." faltered Millie, "if your stepmother loved you very much indeed " "I'iddiesticks!" said Louise: "as if a stepmother could love one! Oh. I hate her already! And you. too. my poor wounded gazelle, will be driven from your refuge. If I could only offer you a home " "It's so good of you. darling!" whispered Millie. "But I don't really think that it will be necessary, because, because " "You're not engaged to be married, too?*' almost shrieked Louise, struck with a certain consciousness in her friend's face. "Yes. I am," said Millie, hanging down her head. "And to whom, you precious little conspirator?" "To?to your father!" said Millie. "Oh, don't blame ine. Louise: indeed.

No less than thirty regiments in the British army have pet animals attached. The dogs of the "Fighting Fifth" and "Jack," the retriever, of the Twelfth Lancers, march with their companies when on active service, and have taken part in more than one battle. The drum horse of the Seventh Hussars?presented by the late Queen Victoria?marches proudly at the head of the men, with white tail and mane flowing. "Billy," the goat of the Welsh Fusiliers, is better known, and is a very showy soldier indeed, as he struts nlnnrr In oil fho flfttT nf SPJirlct COat. witli white facings, and the badge and crest of the regiment on his forehead. The Queen's Own Hussars Las also a goat. A deer is the ret of the Seaforth Highlanders. "Antony," a little donkey. attached himself to the Twentysixth Battery while in India, and became an established favorite, marching, eating and drinking with the men. A pet bear was the mascot of the Gloucester regiment, but becoming ill tempered had to be shot. The Lancers of New South Wales have an emu and a kangaroo. "Peter," the goose, became the pet of the Grenadiers while in Canada. The lame bird limped up to a sentry one night and held up a hurt foot for Ills inspection. He attended to the wound, aud the bird thereafter refused to leave the camp, so the soldiers adopted it. When the Devonshire regiment was in Tndin <1 ennto IMS for nifinV mOlllllS adopted as a pet. and, tbough poisonous, it never attempted to hurt any member of the company. When the men returned to England this uncanny pet was left behind.?From Reynold'? Newspaper. The Paper Habit. "Very old persons," said an observe*, "nearly always, on unfolding their newspapers, turn to the columns of 'Deaths.' This is because, in the first place, they are more likely to find news of their friends there than in the column of 'Marriages,' or any other part of the paper, and because, in the second place, they are interested in death, ?they have it much In their minds. "Young girls turn first to the society news and weddings and after that to the fashions. Young men of the health, open-air sort turn first to the sporting news, while boys universally turn to this page first. The actor, of course, reads the dramatic columns, and the writer the book reviews, but neither of these departments, I fancy, does any part of the disinterested public consult first of all. "The elderly gentleman of a pompous appearance reads the editorials first, while his corpulent, cheerful wife reads OmnCAlml/1' r\o<ro lilt? rtfuipca Ui l [/a^v* Some clergymen read the wills of the dead to see what charities have been remembered with bequests. There are many people who read the crimes, the scandals and the shocking accidents first. Poets, as a rule, will not read the newspapers at all."?Philadelphia Record. The World Set Right.

A trolley car between the White Stone hotel and the Southern passenger station, near Spartanburg, became unmanageable by its operators, ana, aasning aown an iucime ui nan i a mile, crashed into a bottling house, j injuring six men. (Superintendent Donald was fatally injured. The ca1* got away from the motorman and ran backward down the grade. ? ? * Pytnians Meet Next at Anderson. At the annual meeting of the Knights of Pythias of South Carolina, at Sumter, the grand lodge postponed action until next session on the plans for the erection of a castle hall as a permanent home for the order. Columbia was the only city to offer inducements for the location of I the building. Andersen was selected as the next place of meeting. * * * Sight Singing May Be Taught. Sight singing and music may be included in the course of study to be pursued by the teachers of Spartanburg and Cherokee counties, during the inter-county summer school,which will be held in Spartanburg. The matter has not been definitely settled, though many seem to iavor me course. If music is included in the curriculum, it will prove a strong inducement for teachers of a number of other counties to attend. * * Furrr.an and Wofford Debate. A large audience heard the debate between representatives cf Wofford and Furman literary societies, which was held in the college auditorium recently. The decision of the judges was favorable' to Furman, though a majority of one vote was cast, shewing that the young orators had honors divided nearly evenly. The question for debate was that the United States should own and operate the railroads. Furman maintained the affirmative and Wofford the opposite view. ? ' * ? Doctors Oppose Fee Reduction Physicians of Spartanburg county oppose the reduction in fee for examining applicants for life insurance policies. Some time ago companies decided to reduce the amount from $5 to ?3. The county medical association in a meeting, at which nearly all members were present, addpted a * ~ ~ Annfomnlotorl resomnon uppu&iug mc change in schedule of examination fees. At a recent meeting of the State Medical Association the subject was discussed and the sentiment of the body was overwhelmingly against the decision of the insurance companies. * Dispensary Graft Discussed. A special from Columbia indicates that there will be some more warm discussion over what high statesmen in the Palmetto state* have been pleased to term dispensary graft and corruption. Some time since the sub-committee of the dispensary investigating committee started to dip deep into the matter of the Newberry county situaion, but held off on account of the meeting of the legislature on the eve of election for a new board of dispensary directors, when the then chairman, Mr. Hub Evans, was running for re-election. <Now the information comes that the committee has summoned to Columnia a number of prominent citizens, of Newberry county, including the bank officials, all of whom will be asked to give evidence in matters pending. These matters are said to concern the possessions of Hub Evans, and the investigation to be along the line of ascertaining in what manner nis possessions grew to about $300,000 since he entered pontics. When the same matter was broached at one of the recent sessions of this same committee there was blood cn the moon, and then trouble all but ensued. Now it is intimated that there is a strong probability of the pent-up disturbance breaking forth afresh and trouble of some sort would not be a great surprise to the people of South Carolina. * Tragic Death of J. E. Tindall. J. E. Tindall of Clarendon county, secretary of state during the administration of Governor Tillman, fell from a street car in Columbia, and died of his injuries some hours afterward. Mr. Tindall had been in attendance upon a meeting of the board of trustees of Clemson college, and was in Columbia for the purpose I of visiting his daughter. It is not { known just how the accident occurred, but it is supposed that a grip which he carried overbalanced him as he attempted to leave the car, caus- i ing him to fall backward upon his j head. j iMr. Tindall was 67 years old, and had been prominent in South Carolina politics since 1886. He was a fine sol dier, serving through the entire civil war. He was also a thoroughly educated man. At the time the war broke out he was completing his education at the University of Bonn, in Germany, equipping himself for the chair of ancient languages. At the close of the war he went to farming in this state, and was always a success at tms. tierore going abroad he graduated at Furman University.

IHVUVlig VJ? vuv uvuivvtuuv ^/u? v; in the struggle for supremacy was intense, both sides admired and e? teemed the cordial and warm-hearted Tindall, who will always be held in tender memory. ? * ? Black and Lyon Clash. Major John Black, of the dispensary state board of directors, approached Representative J. Fraser I.yon, cf the dispensary investigating committee, on the street in Columbia and after applying many alleged vile epithets to him and using abusive language about what Major Black regarded as the personal persecution against him, Mr. Lyon was pursuing against him in the name of Investigation, threatened to shoot him and told him that he was of a mind to shoot him on the spot, and that if he was not armed to go get himself armed. Mr. Lyon said he was unarmed, and went to his room at the hotel. Mr. Lvon reported the matter to the investigating committee. Chairman Hay suggested that the governor had the power to remove, but the com-1 mittee, after goiflg into executive session, announced that the records of the incident would be promptly turned over to the governor for such action as he saw fit to take without recommendation from the committee. Mr. Lyon told the committee that Major Black and ex-Chairman Hub Evans cf Newberry had repeatedly threatened not only the lives of himself and Representative Christensen, but had intimidated witnesses by threats. He presumed that Major Black was Incensed over the fact that he had gone to Black's home at Walterboro to investigate a rumor to the effect that Black and Evans had bribed a member of the legislature from that place. He added that the investigation would continue regardless of tbreats. The threats were of no concern to him personally, but he thought the committee should take some action against the work of the committee being interfered with by intimidation of witnesses. The incident has caused much talk. CAPTAIN AND MATRON FIRED. Outcome of Scr.catitnal Row in Atlanta Police Department. Atter an executive asss.on of almost fcur hours, the Atlanta board of police -cornrniSiitncrs, Monday night, ordered the dismissal from the force cf both Captain Z. 3. Moon and Pciice Matron Mary Eehncleld. Captain Viocn was found net guilty of all the charges and specifications made against liirn with the exception cf the last, it was moved that "Captain Z. B. Mccn so found guilty of conduct unbecoming an ofLcer and member of the force in causing the publication in the Atlanta Constitution cf April 20, 1906, the article complained of in the pending charges against him."

Bohncfeld, alleging that Captain Moon had been too familiar with certain women in her department. She specified certain alleged acts of misconduct. Captain Moon replied to Mrs. Bohnefeld's charges with counter charges in which he alleged a number of things too salacious to print. Among other things, he charged the matron with arranging for certain of her wards to go to improper places, and with using language of a most improper character. The matron was exonerated of all the allegations which were made against her with the exception of the charge that she had used improper language on certain nrrasions. DRY SUNDAY IN LOUISVILLE.

JOHNSON AFFAIR AGAIN Non-Indictment of Prominent Chattanooga Citizens by Grand Jury Causes Government to Take the Matter in Hand. A Washington special says: The government has taken steps to punish the persons who are responsible for the lynching in Chattanooga, Tenn., on March rj, last, of the negro, Ed Johnson, who, under sentence of death for rape, nad been allowed an appeal by the United states supreme court from the circuit court of the United States for the eastern circuit of Tennessee. In the supreme court, early Monday Attorney General Moody filed an iniormatioa requesting .that; in consideration of the acts committed by the patries named, it issue a rule on each of them to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt of court. The persons named as defendants are John P. Shipp, f rank Jcnes, Matthew Galloway, C. A. Baker, T. B. Taylor, Fred Frauiey, George Brown, Jeremiah Gibson, Marion Perkins, Jo seph Clarke, "Nick" Nolan, "Shenie" Warner, Luther Williams, Paul Pool, William Marquiette, William Beeler, Claude Powell, Charles J. Powell, "Bart" Justice, John Jones, A. J. Cartwright, R. F. Cartwright, Henry Padgett, William May, Frank Ward, John Varnell and Alfred Hammond. After reciting the facts of the arrest, conviction and sentence of Johnson, the denial of his petition, among other things, that the petitioner had been denied a trial by a fair and impartial jury and had been denied the aid of counsel, in violation of the fifth and sixth amendments to the constitution and other rights under the fourteenth amendment, and the order of the court of March 19, allowing the appeal to the supreme court, and the fact; of the telegraphing of the order of the court to John F. Shipp, sheriff of Hamilton county, who had Johnson in charge, and the publication cf the action of the court in the Chattanooga- evening papers on that date, the attorney stated that the sheriff and his deputies had every I 1?/turront rP- i reason to Dsneve, num ku..vUv . - , ports and rumors conveyed to them, that an attempt would be made to lynch Johnson, and that notwithstand- I ing these facts, the sheriff withdrew j from the jail early in the evening j , of the 19th the usual guard and left in charge only the night jailer, Deputy Sheriff Gibson. The facts attending the lynching are given in the information filed and the statement is made that, although Sheriff 'Shipp returned to the jail while it was in possession of a mob, neither he nor Deputy Gibson did anything to prevent,the lynching, but, in fact, aided those engaged in it The attorney general closed as follows: "Wherefore the United States of America, the complainants herein, through their attorney general, respectfully request this honorable court that, In consideration of the acts committed by the above named defendants and each of them, as hereinbefore set forth, it will issue and direct the marshal of the court to serve on said defendants and each of them a rule to show cause, if any * ? whv said mere ue, uu a ??, ?? defendants and each of them should not be punished as and for a contempt of this honorable court." The court granted leave to file as requested, making the rule returnable on the second Monday of the next term of court, October 15, next. The action of the attorney general came as a surprise to the people of Chattanooga, the grand jury having failed to find an indictment against the lynchers of Johnson, although strongly charged by Judge McReynolds. It is supposed that the evidence ad&uced was insufficient to make out a case against any suspect. Ten of the men named by the attorney gen- j eral are officials, the sheriff and his deputies. The others are net widely known or prominent. Shoe Manufacturers Assign. William Porter & Son, one of the oldest shoe manufacturing firms in Lynn, Mass., assigned Monday with liabilities estimated at about $luO,000.
