TH URSDAY. JULY A Bit of Tonic This Week. A Mother’s Rich Legacy. A SONG OF TRUST. SERVICES FREE” THIIR ARE The United States Senate Free Silver bill has been favourably reported to the House from the coinage, Weights, and Measures Commitiee, and placed on the House calender. Thirty nine years ago next May Allen Hartley bade his friends a hearty farewell, and at the same time Informing them with his wife he was going West to seek his fortune, No one saw the people leave the town, and finally murmurs of something wrong increased to open gossip. Charges of foul play were freely made, but there were none to prove them, and at length they died away. When later the house in which the Hartleys had lived was being repaired and there Was found in a cemented vault beneath it the skeleton of Agnes Hartley, the town went mad. But the murderer was gone and there was no trace. Charles Hartley swore to hunt him down if it took a lifetime and his for- tune. It required forty years of one and as many thousand dollars of the other, but success has at last rewarded the long search. The man arrested is an old resident of this city, having lived here nearly twelve years. He served two terms as Mayor, and has been successful in the accumulation at a comfortable for- tune. Four years ago he married a well-known lady of this place. Back of this is a stOry tinged with romance and sullied by a crime so remarkable in its details that it furnishes a. chapter in criminal history. Allan Hartley is now an old man of nearly 70. When his locks were raven and his heard was young he married a charming young lady, the belle of the small interior town of New York State where both resided. Charles Hartley the cousin, who yesterday, after such a lapse of years, caus'ed the arrest of Allen, was an unsuccessful suitor. Though denied all hOpe by the mar- riage of his cousin with the girl he still loved, this flame kept burning through the years caused the tracking down and arrest of the wife murderer. kiss a sweet,pale lady in bed, and the nest day being told that her mother was In heaven. As she looked on the long-unused. things, she yearned to have that fair‘ mother by her side, for she was often lonely and cheerless. Suddenly Isabel came on a well-worn book, bound in red morrocco, with a silver clasp. It opened at once about the middle, the place being marked by a bunch of dry and colorless flowers. She saw that the volume was a L small Bible, and that it opened at a place where was a text strongly marked in red ink. The text was, “As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted;” and by the side was written, “My little motherless Isabel.” “It is almost like my mother speaking to me from the dead.”’ Isabel said solemnly. "she must have known I should find this some day," and eagerly she kissed the page again and again. The young mother had known that some time her daughter would probably find these words, watered by her dying prayers. and richly God answered those prayers, for that well-worn Bible soon became her child’s greatest treasure. From it she learned the plan of salvation, and from it she drew heavenly comfort and joy that brightened her solitary life. Ellenwood (B.C.)Letter in the Los Angeles Times : After a patient, weary search extending over the West- ern continent and covering a. period of nearly forty years, Charles Hartley, of Oswego, N.Y., a few days ago at this point ended a period in his eventful life by arresting Allen Hartley, a cousin charged with the murder of his wife quite two score years ago.

Th'e Mexican fell insensible and died on the following day, while Finley hurr‘ed across the border as soon as his wound would permit. “Joseph.” “ Sir.” “Pass the cheese.” "It. has walked away.” 7 At lasr, after a terrific onslaughter, the Mexican feinted at Finlev’s face and then changed his point in direct line with his heart. The American partied the thrust, .but was only partly successful. The sword plunged through his thigh near the groin. For a second the officer could not withdraw it, and in that moment Finley shortened his own weapon and drove it through his antagonist’ 5 breast near the shoulder. He Says He Left His Autagonist Dying and Fled Across the Border_ The Chicago Daily Inter- Ocean says ; F. H. Finley, an old resident of Niles, Mich., has just returned from a. visit to Mexico, sufl‘ering from a sword thrust in the side. The wound was received in a. duel with a Mexican oflicer, and the story he tells of it is sensational in the extreme. On Jan. 18, Finley stood before the historic Castle Finley remembered his second’s advice and attacked the Mexican’s face. He in- flicted one or two slight. scratches, but his wrist and arm, unaccustomed to sword play. began to tire. The saldier felt his advantage. and pressed him hard, lunge succeeding lunge with lightning'rapidity. Finley partied and retired and advanced again bravely, but after each attack he grew weaker. but he was on a. backward spring and the cut was very slight. Again the feeling was resumed followed by rapid lunrres and re- treats. The shortness of his sword was an embarrassment to the soldier. It had saved the American from a dozen death thrusts already. ‘ The two men adVanced, crossed their points and threw up their left hands. For a few moments they seemed to feel each other and in those moments Finley felt that he was over-matched and that death was before him. Suddenly the Mexican made a lunge and Finley parried it. Then came another and another. The Mexican advanced and retreated with the smooth- ness and rapidity of a snake. His weapon played about the blade of his opponent like a rod of fire but Finley retreated and parried mechanically. Suddenly he felt himself ‘v’ .. -.â€" 01 Chapultepec, and, unstrapping a Small camera, prepared to take a “shot” at the rare old pile. He was quietly adjusting his plates when three young Mexican Offi- cars in passing made some insulting re- mark. Finley replied in kind, when the Mexican rushed at him with drawn sword but was prevented from doing violence, though Finley succeeded in slapping him in the face,. A challenge was presented and accepted. Finley secur- ing the services of a young Mexican officer as a second. The seconds an- nounced that the combat would be with swords, but, in consideration of Fin- ley’s in-experience, short blades of thirty inches would be used instead of thirty-six- inch blades, with which his opponent was familiar. At dawn on the following morn- ing two coaches left the centre of the Mexican capital and RUMBLED THROUGH THE SUBURBS to a silent and secluded grove. There the occupants alighted. The four men weremet byafifth, whocarried a flatcase of surgical instruments. On the way into the wood Finley’s second whispered his last instructions : “Strike for your adver- sary’s face,” he said. “It is his weakest point. After iun‘g‘ing, spring back quick- iy to avoid his blade. His returns are rapid. In a small open glade the party paused. The seconds assisted them to remove them coats, waistcoats, and cellars.
