She went .very willingly, as she was fond of Mrs. Driscol'l, who had al- ways been kind to her; and in her an- xiety for her aunt’s welfare she ceased to take much interest in the details of the tragedy which had been enacted so close to her home. Moreover, the Lynches were bad correspondents, and newspapers seldom found their way to Knockgrennan Farm, so that Dolly knew little beyond the fact that old Nelly Byrne had been mrrdered, and that the murder was supposed to have been committed by the Italian sailor.. 1V. When Dolly returned home after six weeks’ absence, she found the mur- der again the chief subject of interest. The trialwas to take place on the fol- lowing day, and Michael Lynch and his wife had been sumoned to appear as witnesses. This entailed an entire days absence from home, the assize town being some sixteen miler dis- tant; and Mrs. .Lynch thought it necessary to make as many prepara- tions as if she had been going to emi- grate. Dolly, who was to be left in charge, was scarcely as much impress- ed as her aunt would have wished by the importance of the trust commit- ted to her; but she made many promis- es of steadiness and vigilance, and bade farewell to her aunt and uncle with becoming solemnity. Then, having de- spatched her light household duties, she sat down to make a dress for her- self taking advantage of her aunts absence to secure a more fashionable out than that lady would have at all approved of. Absorbed in her work, she sat over it until past mid-day, when she was disturbed by two young men. the owners of a Lvacht which lay at anchor a little way off, coming to beg for a light for their cigars. "How cool and comfortable it is here," said one of thanâ€"”May we sit down and rest a bit on this bench out- side ihe door, Miss Dofly?’ ”To be sure, sir,“ said Dolly, resum- ing her own place at the window, while the two young men establish- ed themselves outside and began a desu!tory conversation. For a time Dolly paid no attention; at length, however. she found that they were talking of the murder, and she began to listen. "Carroll is defending him," said one. 'It will be a good thing for Carâ€" roil if he gets him off; but I am afraid the evidence is too strong." “The evidence seems ifttle to hang a man on." “They hanged a man here last year on quite as little. Carroll means to maintain that it is impossible he could have walked from here to the foot of Kilforlane Hill, where the murder was committed. in three-quarters of an hourf’ “What has the time it took him to wakk there to do with the case?’ “Don’t you see? The clock in the old womans cottage was pulled down in the struggle, and stopped at a quarter to three; thus marking the ex- act time of the murder. Now. Lynch says the man did not leave this until two; so that if it was impossible for him to walk the distance in the time, it is likewise impossible that he can have committed the murder.” “I see. Perhaps the clocks were wrong. though." "Not Lynchs clock; it is infallible; never made a mistake in the whole course of its existence. Lynch would stake his own life. or any one else son its infallibility. Seriously, though, it must have been right on the day in question, for Lynch remembers com- paring it with the gun that night and the night before." ‘ ' ‘ A P _A-_. ‘V'A 3.!

Dolly had listened with some amuse- ment to their assertions concerning the. in?a libility of the c106k, remember- ing as she did the day‘ on which she had caused it to bear false witness in her behalf.

What Was Required 0! a Lover Who Court- ed a Maid of Another Facll:~u. The following gruesome though true story shows what a powerful lever fam- ily approval and tribal influence ex- erts upon the Samoan character. The story is vouched for in every detail: A certain young Samoan, the son of a chief, who had reached that age when “ a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love," became deeply en- amored of the taupo or belle belong-g ing to a neighboring village; between whose “ talking man,” father of the taupo, and the suitor’s family, there existed a bitter feud. The attachment was reciprocated, but, as is customary in such important matters as marti- mony, the question of eligibility was duly submitted to the aiga, a-e-na, or family council, which promptly return- ed a verdict or “ impossible.” Instead however, of accepting the decree of his family and renouncing his inamo- rata the young man rebelled and de- clared he would wed his dusky sweet- heart in spite of all thecode of Faa Samoa and the trammels of family and tribal disapproval that could be im- posed. The young girl also asserted her independence and scorn for the ob- stacles which were put in their way, and with the help of a few girl friends began preparing her trousseau of fine mats and gaudy tapa, which brides in Samoa affect. The wedding day approached. The feeling between the rival villages ran high, and before the arrival of the date fixed for the ceremony culminated in open hostilities. Overwhelming pres- sure was brought to bear upon the poor lover, who was reviled and taunt- ed with being a traitor, and all the curses of endless generations of an- cestors heaped upon his devoted head; family influence combined to exert its every wile to break the engagement, but still he stood resolute. He was driven from house and village an out- cast on the world and his property confiscated and divided; ‘ AA -1-_- deserted by her family, waiting for her faithful bridegroom. The hours passed; he did not come. Suddenly a step was heard outside the hut, where she anxiously waited. She rose ex- pectant. A curtain was thru'st aside; something was thrown into the room and rolled to the feet of the horrified girl. She stooped and picked it up, and then screaming and laughing she fell upon the groundâ€"a maniac. It was the severed head of her faâ€" ther, and before her stood her affianced husband. stern. relentless and cold as if turned to stone, in his hand the terrible mifeâ€"oti, headâ€"knife, freshly dripping.

Samuel F. Perry, of Port mltland. N. 8., Has Recovered Frem a Lens and Trying Illness. Samuel F. Perry, Port Maitland, K. 5., is one of the oldest residents of that Lawn. He is a ship builder by trade, but like many other: living along the .‘ea coast has also followed the occu- ntion of a sailor. Owing to an injury -'.0 his back some twenty-five re :30, he has. unt_il lately, led a l' e of more 31- less suffering. Mr. Perry tells of his trouble as follows :--“ About twen- ty-five years ago, I strained my back severely, and the result was that for six months following this I could not take a single step without‘the great.- est agony. I doctored for about a year with a local doctor and while the pain was eased to some extent, the trouble spread from my back to my hips and legs and it was almost impossible for me to get around. I had to exercise the greatest care when walking, else I would fall to the ground. It was not exactly paralysis, and yet it was some- thing very nearly akin to it. For about twenty-five years I have suffered in this way, and although I doctored more or less. and tried many remedies I could not get relief. One day I read in a newspaper the particulars of a cure in a case very like my own. through the means of Dr. Vt'illiams’ Pink Pills, and I determined to try them. I began their use about two years ago. feeling that what the had done in the other case they wou d no doubt do for me. The trouble had fuse tened itself so firmly that I did not hope for a speedy cure, but as I found- the pills were helping me I continued their use until I had taken some thir- ty or more boxes. with the gratifying result thit they did for me what long lyears of other treatment failed to do, restored me to an excellent measure of health, and I can now go about almost as actively as in my young days. I gladly make known the benefit I have received, and hope my statement will give new hope to some other suffer- er. . i J“ Clrcnmetanees In Which the Sight of One RI : y lie Decidedly Unpleasant. “ Ever sit," said Mr. Goblinton, “late at night alone in a room, reading or studying, everybody gone to bed long ago, the house quiet, and see present- ly, across the table, on the other side of the room, a door opening slowly?
