" Nonseuso!" said I. "you ain't seen

"O no, no Indeed, mar!" cried ehe,
"an O! when I started to run it kisaod

"Thi n 'twt-rn't no soul but Henry

it' r.o wonder L war.ts to get oven,

looked cut erbout Henry, '-he's goin'
away to-morrcr, an" he knows he'd
never pet to kiss vou 'ijood-by' no Other
way."
"Hat, rear," pays Sis, a-shivcrin,
"them lips was co'd and clammy, an"
I M'.ielled a s.aiell not of this earth."
"l'o h," sail I, "you smolt nothin
but II v. ry's ciirar; an' any lips would
ho clammy with the nijjht air comin'
on."
It warn't no use ta!kln to Sis.
"I've had a warninV ao repeated,
fir.kin' on a chet-r as wo entered the
rud-o, and cla-pin' her hands in an
guish, l.ilo's sorrows will soon be
o'er; leave me to solitude, mar, an'
let me vriti theoe thoughts."
"O yes," says I, "you aiielL"
So 1 Ciled up the ink bottle out o'
her Paris stone jugr and pot the bhj
b.ank book an' sot "cm before her.
Then I put on Sis' lon circular (me
an' Sis is 'bout one feize) an' tied on
her beaded fascinator, an' thought I'd
jes' step over to Mis' Cabell's an' see
ef I could come up with that Henry
Cabell an' his foolishness.
Tho way it all happened 'bout Sis an'
him was more'n a year back, when
tii Ca holla rst moved to our neigh
borhood. Judo-e Tolliver's old estate wtxs or
dered by the court to bo eold, because
it was covered by so many mor'g'aos
(an', land knows, it wereu't covered
by much els-e), an' It was bought by
Colonel Cabell, Hi-v9 par.
The Colonel settled here by tho Blue
Kid0 mountains fur his health, an a
mighty r.ico olo gentleman bo was; pale
an' eristocratie.

Sis was at school In Richmond all this
time, an' of courso knowed nothin'
'bout the new neighbors but what wo
writ.
She was studyin' hard to raduato,
an' did. Kerried off all tho prizes,
an' the laws knows how much money
erlougr with "em; an' mighty proud we
all wits.
II. r pur ain't noted to hov as ranch

Weil, it commenced from that day.
Mias CaVn-'ll said Sis was a beauty a :
airy, fairy suthin' nother; an' the
Co'.or.c-l let on like she w as a qanuii, ,
witj his chivalous maimers. Sis has
gut a mighty takin' w ay with her, au'
she sweet as pio to a'.l fjut Henry.
Him ho were perlite to, au' she
weru't no more.

"'twould 1 e a fine thing to make such ;
a grand rf.iU'h,'' an' "so convenient, '.
jinin' land,"' an' all such talk, I mis
trusted (tcnowin' how highty-tigiity
Sis was) fur a neighbor to coiao nigh
the house.
Henry got his ppankin' new double
team an' finked Sis to go with him
to tho big moetin' at Tinkliti Spriug
church a-Suad.iy.
Sis' new- laylac silk como from the
town dress-maker's a-Saturday, an'
the reeds an' all Pet lottr an' hod
more room In a phaytou then in our
curryall, so she excepted of Henry's
invito.
Henry's horses was slow for bloods,
as pur said, fur mo'n him got to
church first.
When they arrlv', however, a dash
in' liMjkiu' couple they was. Nothin"
ou thtit church gnen belt a tailor
canuie to the sun by 'em.
Is tty Green was nigh the kerridgo
blo-k w hen Henry driv roun' with a
flourish, au says she to Myra Brown:
"Sis sets up there like she hod a dexi
o trust oa them horses an the
driver."
-She do," says Myra, "but I reckon
Colonel Caboll 'il go higher' n a
miller's daughter fur his ion."
Sis heard it. an' the Fpots in her
white lace vail she wad out like polka
dot pink caliker 'gainst her faco, as
she an' Henry passed to tho church
door. .
After that 6he turned the" cold
shoulder to Henry an' kep it turned,
an' things went on worse an' wore
between 'em.
She poarten'd up sometimes very
gay, a-drivia' with the young lardin'
gentlemon from tho Mountain Top,
an' singin' love duet. Then she'd go
vfl in the 6uiks, an' be a-writin'
poetry, till I moro'n suspieioood there
was a rose in the canker.
As fur Henry, he got mighty pale.
Times he'd spnico up an' drive by scorn
fuller'n a Congressman; an next day
mebbe he'd come over an' hang roan'
meeker' n a candidate votin' day. I
hed n't no patience with Sis' uppi.-h
ways, and I wern't a bit s'prised when
Henry gave out a'.l at once that he was
goin' traveiln' West.
Then M19' Cabell phe turned cold to
Sis' an' looked reproachful-like at mo
(though, land eakes, I hodn't done
nothin' to her), au' we was all miser
able together.
Things was this way, an" I was
studyin' it over es I went on slow
"down the lants the evenia I let' Sis
a-writin'.
'Twas what I call "blind man's hol
lordny," but tho poet folks call "twi
light deepenin' Into dusk."
Though misty in the gloamin', tho
bigger stars was a-ahinin' like far-off
lights on a dark sea, Way off the
mountain range loomed against tho
fadin' sky, with here an' ther' a lofty
pak in the dim prospective.
High between Loby's Mountain an'
Iiald Knob, ivher' the tunnel cuta its
way through, a train o' lighted cars
was a-windin' crlong the dark mount
ain sid-, like a fiery serpent glidin' in
its hole.
As I said, I was jes' enjoyin' the
peaceful cene, an' not a-thinkin' nor
a-fearia' 'bout ghosts, when sudden
like a great tall thing in a whitey
suthin riz right up in front o' me, an',
clappin' its two long arms eroun', give
me a cold an' clammy kiss.
I shrieked an' scratched an give it
a bitin kiss back, an then I planked
it one blow an' a kick thet laid it
a-sprawlin on the ground.

It's to my opinion Henry Cabell was j

A Sewing-Machine Man's Talk.
There has been a wonderful change
in the business method of sewing
machine dealers within the past dec
ade, and that the change is for tho
bettor goes almost without tho saying-.
There was a time when tho 6ewing
machine agent and the lightning-rod
man were looked upon ns land pirates
and their approach regarded with
genuino dread. Tho only way to got
rid of the sewing-machino agent of
nu!d lang syne was to give him an
order. The majority of agents worked
on commission, and they must sell or
starve. Nowadays, the business is
conducted much upon tho same plan
as that of the wholesale grocer or dry
goods dealer. Regular t.avc'.ing men
are employed, paid salary a:fl ex
penses, and they sell machines to
those who want them, and not to those
who do not, but purchase to get rid of
a bore- Some of tho best cmmcre.ial
men in tho country are now engaged
in the se.wing-rna?hLne business, and
tho dignity added by tho adoption of
business-like methods is rapidly put
ting that branch cf trade in tho front
rank as a desirable occupation.

HAY-FEVER.
I
Acronlin
to Io,t Koct-nt Ouiniou It Is
a Nerv.tu. .flV-ctlim.
What aw the causes, nature, pre
vention and cure fur hay-fever? What
places are exempt from it? What are
tho latet opinions of tho medical
profession. resjx;cting this disease?"
The most recent opinion is that it is
a neurosis, of art affection of the
nerves, a peculiar susceptibility of
certain nerves, terminating in the
mucous membrnr.o, to irritation from
tho pollen of various plants.
It is only about seventy years since it
was first described undej- the name of
summer catarrh. It prevails much
moro extensively ia some countries
than in othors, being twice as common
in Kiiglaad as elsewhere, and mucli
less common at the South and in
Canada than in our Northern States.
It is a rare disease wost of tho
Mississippi.
Its sctt is the mucous membrane, oi
the nostrils, eyes, pharnyx, larynx arvj
brop.chial tubes. It ometiiiies as
sumes an asthmatic form, and hence
has b'-n called hay-a-'.thma. Tho sus- j
ceptiiiiiity to it is often inherited. 1
Although it is o-i'j-sl by pollen, yet I
the inhabitants of rural districts are
h-s liable to it than vi-itors from the
city. In this res"et it is liko other
di-eases. Yellow-fever, for instance,
i.- most likely to a'tack iho-o who
come from abroad into tho infected
locality.
It is called hay-fever, but. the pollen
of niutiv di!T. rout plants may give rie
to it. It prevails from May to August.
All patients a'-o not susceptible to the
pollen of the same plant. That of the
grasses is perhaps tho most potent.
Juueis most prolific of pollen-grains.
Light hundred a day havo leeu col
lected ou a glass less than half an inch
sejuare. Ilains ofto-i wa-sh the atmos
phere nearly clear of them.
To be sure of escaping the annual
attack, one must remove to a region at
a distance from the offending vegeta
tion, say to the White Mountains in
New Hamp-hiro. Mount Mansfield in
Vermont, tho Adirondacks in New
Yolk, to extended grazing regions, to
1 the seaside where tho prevailing wind
is from the ocean, or to densely In
habited cities, with few parks and
oten spaces. Respirators are a help.
The general system needs to be for
tified, say by shower-baths and t inie
meilieinos, and tho local irritation
should be allayed under the advice of :.
physician. K:u:h attack increases tie
susceptibility, and frequently recur
ring attacks may lead to deafness, ti
the Eustachian tube generally shar. .
in the irritation. Youth's Com pauion.

Story of a I'liniuii'i a;itnre Valae of
tho Pniirii System of ttifiiluwuig
Siu..'icioas Charac tern.
The most important element, per
haps, of all executive business is sys- '
tern. In detective work, while com- j
pleto success can not bo attained with- :
out clovoi'iie-b, shrewdness and keen j
ability to put one and another thing j
together to arrive at a correct result, j
but poor returns would come from
theso rjo.alitios, however faithfully np-
plied, without tho advantage of pro
ceeding along certain definite liiu
that havo leen previously arranged in
systematic order. It is herein that the
efforts of private detectives seldom
can comparo with those of a thorough
ly organized public force. Tho in
dividiKtl worker may stir about v ith
ail tiirj caution, energy and shrewd
ness in the world, and sometimes may
accomplish surprising results but, :;s
a rule ho will find hiri-e-lf defeated
from lack of general knowledge about
criminals that i not in his way to
iearii, that no one can learn unless he
acts as the head of a largo force,
every member of which reports to him
freipiently what he has discovered.
Tho individual io hampered because
he can not draw on tho information of
many others like himself. The public
detective, besides his own knowledge,
may avail himself of a vast deal that
ethers havo acquired, and best of all
he works under a system devi loped
from the observations cf long experi
ence. The success of the New York Detoct
ivo liureau is very largely due to un
ceasing adherence to a plan of surveil
lance. It keeps tho force busy all the
time, for we do not propose, if wo can
help it, to let any thief get the start
of us by committing a crime. It is
our purpose to prevent crimes. Now,
in a great city liko New York there
are more men and women with evil
projensitie3 and tendencies to crimi
nal life than forty men can keep con
stantly in view. Tlio situation is
further complicated and rendered
difficult by the constant influx of
criminals from other cities and coun
tries. Very few crimes are com
mitted in those days by tho profession
al thieves of ten years ago. They
havo learned their lesuon and cither
keep themselves straight or go to
Europe.
It is tho new men, fresh arrivals
and youngsters, that keep tho crimi
nal calendar full and bother the detect
ives; nevertheless tho now comers
aro discovered with a . promptness
that would probably surprise the pub
lic, unacquainted as it is with the
most approved methods of dotvetive
wo-k.
The importanco of getting acquaint
ed with incoming criminals is too
groat and too evident to need anj- ex
position at this timo. Tho way it is
accomplished nu- be interesting. It
is not m3T purpose to romance on this
subject, 1 intend rather to show how
the system of surveillance employed by
this bureau effected the capture of the
right parties within threo daj-s after
the murder was committed. Let mo
saj' first that one of the two guilty
men had never committed a crime be
fore so far as can be ascertained from
tho recards of the department. The
other was almost equally unknown
to tho police.
Ii was but a few weeks before the
murdor of Mrs. Ernst that one of my
men reported to mo that a 6tranger
had becn.ioticed associating with peo
ple whom ho knew to bo professional
criminals. According to the usual plan,
orders were given that this stranger
should be watched nnd every thing
jvossible learned about his past. It
was readily discovered and repotted
that he was Ilc-nrv- B. Chamberlain,
alias Frank (Xlark. a New Haven thief.
Amoiig the men whoso acqiiaintauco
ho cultivated was James B.Taylor, a
young saloon-keeper oi this cit3 Both
men were constantly watched, but no
reports of their movements of great
consequence wero made until, one
Monday evening, one of my men shad
owed them to the Grand Central depot
He taw them buy tickets for New
Haven and board the train. There
our surveillance had to stop. If thev
I had contemplated ciiuie within the
city mey woum never bavo accom
plished, it, for our man v. ould have
boon with them at every stage of the
game, and would havo checked them
at the proper moment. Under tho cir
cumstances, however, all he could do
was to report to headquarters that
they had left town for New Haven. A
memorandum to that effect was file i
for future reference.
Tuesday evening's paper coiaim-i'
accounts of the finding of Mrs. Ei'li-t
body and of the total lack of ary in
criminating clew. Our suspicior
wero directed at once to Chatnhe'iai;!
and Taylor. Men were sent eut to

found that they were in thecity tt :f
pat two o'clock Tuesday moruii'.g.
Chambotiain spout money freely ibo
rest of that night and during Tuesday.
To make the story brief and strcighi
forward I will say that they went to
Mrs. Ernst's houso in New Haven,
where Chamberlain was well ac
quainted, saw the neighbor trlkit-.g
with the unfortunate woman at tho
back door, waited until she ha 1 gone
away. and then approached und
knocked. On tho pretense that they
brought a message from soniebou.,
they gaitusi admission, and the i;:ei ., r
and robln-ry quii-kly followed. i do
not think it necessary to enter int 1 tho
shocking details of the crime, v.hic:'
was unusuaily brutal. Wheu the,
left the house they wi r.t directly t .'
the depot and took a late tr-i'n f.
New York. Arriving here, Chambor-
I lain set about establishing an alibi,
j "We must be seen by a good many
j people,"' lie said to Taylor,
i Therefore, they drank in several all
j night saloons. They woun-1 up in one
' of the most popular resorts for thieve?
J on Hudson street. Tliore they sat f t f
I table at which a stranger to them was
j sleeping. Chamberlain remarked thtit
; by tht time tluy had established
I their alibi; that a seoro cf men had
! seen them dur'njf the night and
. suspicion would be averted from them.
I Tho sleeping man heard every won!

Wednedaj-, less than 1 wen y- four
hours from the lime when the news of
the imr i't r was published. I sent a fic
titious not j to T:i"lor, asking him to
call on tho Excise Commissioners. He,
went unsuspectingly, but on the w.t
he was (tr.ictiy arrested. It never
would have done to take him in his sa
loon, for thoi cb.v hia accomplice could
have g.t warning. Later in the day
Chamberlain was found and arrested.
Neither knew of the other's arrest.
Chamberlain tried to shoot tlio officer
who aptur. d him, but the pistol was
taken from him just in time
Taylor, of cou-se, was dreadfully
alarmed, but Chamberlain was the
coolest criminal I ever saw. It was
not difficult to persuade Ta-lor to con
fess, and his confession, with tho cor
roborative evidence of Cora Bell,
Chamberlain's .mistress, who was not
in an3' way implicated, would have
been evidence enough to convict both
parties, but the nxt morning Cham
berlain also confessed, and tho stories
of both men were substantially tho
same. Both are now in prison for life.
I have made tho account of their
crime brief, for I desired solely to i1
lustrate tho efficiency of this F3-stem
of exorcising unremitting surveillance
on all suspected persons. Thomas L

TORTURE IN BOKHARA.
A Country Wliere Criminals Aro Executed
by IreiMj; IVil to erinln.
Tho report that tho Amir of Bok
hara has ordered the abolition of tort
ure in hi. kingdom, in honor of the
Czar's escape from death in a railway
accident, will suggest painful memor
ies to Englishmen. The oommotKV-t
form of torture in Bokhara is confine
ment in tho "black well," where tho
luckless victim is devoured bj- vermin.
This was tho fat-j of St iddard. who
was nft-Tward put to death along
with Connolly by ho present Amir's
grandfather. Other cruelties, too,
were practiced by "the Butcher, as he
was fitly called. Men have been thrown .
down from high walls or towers,
were flt-od alive, or roasted in ovens.
Mr. tieorgo Curon, at tho last moot
ing of the Ko3-al (lee-graphical Societj-,
showed a photograph of tho tower
from which criminals are still fl ni'g,
and he expressed a hope that this bar
barous punishment would before long
bo abolished. Torture is bj' r.o means
uncommon in the Indian, native States;
indeed. Sir Lepel Griffin describes it
as a recognized form of judicial pro
cedure. He mentions the case of a
ruling chief who was openly accused
of having tho acrid juice of chillies
squeezed into tho 03-03 of tho reluctant
witnesses. "He was an old gentle
man," Sir Lepel says, "of tho most
toft and courteous manners, and tho
idea that chillies could bo objeeteid to
as a means of judicial investigation
did not Meei.i to havo occurred to him.

A Slight Miscalculation
"John," said a v.ifj who v. as sup
posed to 1-e on her death-bed, "in caso
of my death I think a man of t our
temperament and donu-stio nature,
aside from the good ,f tho children,
ought to marry again. "
" Do you think so. my dear?" .
"I certainly do, after a reasonable
length of time.'
"Well, now, do you know-, 1113- dear,
that I'elii'Ves my mind of a great bur
den. The Utile widow. Jenkins has
