'That night 4 fearful thunderstorm raged, and trees about all the islands were At midnight .a blaze was noticed on Maple Island, and the mainland folks supposed the hermit's: cabin had been struck and was purning. 3 : In the morning a party of fisher men rowed across to see if the lonel man needed help or shelter. They found the hut in ashes, and dragged away near.the water's edge lay the dead body of the stranger, with a dagger sticking in his heart. Upon his breast 'were cut three crosses, shaped like the leiter X, placed in the form of a triapgle. This was the secret symbol of the Knights of the Golden Circle during the Civil war and the Ku-Klux during reconstruct- tion days. But to those who found the body these crosses had no significance. They supposed He had been murder- ed for the eanvas bag of gold pieces which they knew he had in his pos: gedsion, for he paid them for hjs provisions from death it could not be found. The corgher"s verdict was that he was murdered and robbed by persons un- known and the body was properly buried on the island. Of 'the seven Payne brothers who {were among the Lincoln conspirators {only one, John A. Payne, has never been accounted for. The theory now is that Payne succeeded in getiing the reward of gold which had been deposited in Toronto, Canada, by the Knights of th Gelden Circle, then known as the Knights of the Blue Gauntlet, to be paid over if the pre- sident was removed, and then hid himself from his defrauded brethren and k'lied by them, Piles Cured in 6 to 14 Days Druggists refund mopey in PAZO OINTMENT [fails to cure Itching, Blind, Bleeding or Protruding Piles, First application gives relief. 50c. has bought from W.

The sentence he recetved was five days, and Mrs. Hall is angry. "Judge Leet told me I would not need an attorney," she said. i had no idea he would not get what he certainly deserved until 1 heard the judge say something about len- ieney. 1 at once rushed out for=a lawyer. When I returned with one my husband had been given five days I told the judge what 1 thought of it. "Then [| wanted to swear out an- other wi ant on the same charge, but he would not let me, saying Hall had been sentenced and could not be re-arrested. And so I am going back to Montreal to get a di- vorce, I have my own marriage certificate and a copy of the one is- |sued when he married the other wo- man, and I think I will not have much trouble." Mrs. Hall said she was married to Hall on May 23, 1906, at Kingston, Ont. She was 16 years eld at the time, and Hall was 19. The girl's mother 'accompanied the young couple across the line and gave her consent to the ceremony. For four years Mr. and Mrs. Hall lived in Watertown, then he left for Mohtireal, she said. There, after a short courtship, on July 16 of last year, in the Fairmount avenue Methodist church, he married Mits Beatrice Mulchy, of Montreal * It was not until a short timé& ago that Mrs. Hall No. 1 learned of this second marriage.
