"Reware!" cried a voice in the dark ness as they turned away. Tired and harassed, Eunice burst into tei.rs. "Oh, have we come awav from one trouble just to get into something worse! I'd better have done as thev wished. At least I should have found out something." "You're done. out. You'd better get to bed," the elder woman said, but there was tenderness in the touch which smoothed the girl's dark hair. Eunice returned to work heavy heart ed. Unfriendly glances had followed ner ue:ore, out sue hrul been uncon scious; now she had an uneasy sense of being ostracised. "I can't 'stand it," she said after a day or two. "I must join their society. I'll never et on un less I do. "Act as you think best," the mother replied. Meanwhile the simmering discontent had been taking shape. Numerous meetings were held and a course of action decided; when the gill applied she was refused. A stranger in the place, she and her mother had held aloof in a manner to give offence. Mr. Gilbert, too, was a new-comer; his manner of conducting affairs differed from his predecessor's, and though prompt in payment, he Avas strict as to hours, etc., and had not gained popularity. Once more the 'boss's' calculations Avere interrupted by ft deputation. "We've come to give no tice that unless the Avages is riz and that girl discharged, we quit." "I'll do neither, aud you know it," Ros Gilbert thundered. "Maybe he takes a pertiekler interest in the young woman!'' There was no mistaking the insinua ntion of the tone. Ross sprang to his feet, but a detaining hand was laid on his shoulder. "Gently, sir! ThefelloAvs don't knoAv what h sweet lady you have." "What, Harvey! You in this set of rascals?" "We Avon't call hard names, sir. I've done my best to dissuade them. I don't mean to quit." He Avas a tall fellow, with a Hue face. "Don't make threats," he continued, seeing the other about to speak. "I know when you are angered, if I may may make so free as to t-ay it. Things you'd be sorry for after, but felt you had to stick to." "Thank you," Mr. Gilbert said quiet ly. "I've given vou my answer, men, and it is final." "Thtn quit's the AAord," said the spokesman, and they riled out. Many of the toAvnspeople agreed to stand by Mr. Gilbert; others thought him unreas nble, and the employment of a woman objectionable. Si men, including Harvey, remained, and the girl, the cw f-eUi, added one more. "We'll do Avhat Ave can short-handed," Ross eaid to his wife, "and if it comes to the Avorst, close doAvn. I won't yield." The closer contact which the small numbers entailed, threAv Eunice and Harvey much together, friendship rip ening into a wanner feeling. But it was becoming almost impossible for Mr. Gilbert to go on, and murmurs and dis content were beginning to prevail. Eunice, though happy, felt a strange nervousness. Hastening home one eve ening she heard a rustling in the bushes, and an unseen hand hurled a stone at her Avhich felled her unconscious to the ground. Happily Harvey had left the mill shortly after, and was a witness, though not in time to see the perpetra tor. With au imprecation he sprang forward and bent over her, then raised her in his arms and carried her home. "Is it true, Ross, that they have killed that poor girl." "I'm afraid so." Tears sprang to Mrs. Gilbert's eyes and hot AAords to her lips, but she con trolled herself. "It is hard to be just and not blame the innocent for the guilty," she said. Her husband stooped, kissing her so berly. "You are a good woman. Yes, go at once," in answ er to her suggestion, "if any one can help them, you can." The'stone which felled Eunice Gordon was the death blow to the strike. Horror at the deed Avas universal, nor Avas there much doubt as to the guilty person. Jim Farrell had made the insulting speech to Mr. Gilbert; he alone was missing; That he had a personal grudge against Eunice was. surmised by some; but none else hail been concerned in the outrage, and feAv mourned his absence. Tho mill Avas closed; the girl's life hung by a thread. "I want to see Mis. Gilbert." It was George Harvey who asked. She thought him a fine fellow, bade him be seated, and said smiling, "I per ceive you have important business with me, George." "You see, ma'am, it stands this way. The men would be glad to come back if Mr. Gilbert would open the mill we can't live doing nothing yet they don't like to ask him. Terhaps you don't know that Eunice had promised to be my wife, and if that stone had kdled her well, I don't like to think about it I can't sav how I would feel towards them. Rut, thank God, the doctor says she'll pull through. She's clear in her head to-day and begged me to come and ask Mr. Gilbert to take them back. She's had much trouble in the old country, but it i.3 over now and we shall be happy to gether." "I am very glad, George," Mrs. Gil bert answered, "but what is it you want me to do ?" "Just this. Yon know, ma'am, lag ging your pardon, Mr. Gilbert's pretty oin'ck und pretty steady to stick to a thing, and I we don't "know what he GOLDSBORO, may have said he'd do or wouldn't do But Eunice thought if you would us your influence maybe he'd let bygones be bygones and meet the fellows half way." "My husband will do what is just,' she answered, with quiet dignity "but," more gently, "if Eunioe can for give, all others should, and I will d what I can." "A thousand thanks," Harvey said ai he left. "I hope you'll pardon my bold ness." "Ross, will you take those men bacl if they will come ?" "Never I" sprang to his lips, but hi better sense as well as her finger tip across his mouth prevented his uttering it. So she told him Eunice's entreaty "Don't think me meddlesome, bu would it not le possible to inaugurate i co-operative system whereby the Avorkeri might have a share in the profits, whicl would make them feel a personal in teres in the master's success ? Would it no be possible ?" "You've a level head on those prett shoulders, Sue'; I'll think about it," he husband said." So it happened that the ringing o George Harvey's wedding bells inaugr rated a new system in the Pempertoi Mills, where harmony reigned thereaftei as a result of Mrs. Gilbert's good work A URATE OLD HORSE. Dextefs Part in the Development o! Fast Time on the Track. The death of Dexter, the trotter, marks an era in equine development ne did not reduce as greatly as some o' his phenomenal predecessors the speed of trotting horses, for when he made hh best record a very low mark had alreadj ben reached. To beat Flora Temple's time of 2:191 by one second and three quarters, was as great a feat as to beat a 2:40 gait by several seconds. When Mauc S. reduced her wonderfully Ioav record by a quarter of a second it was regarded as a more wonderful improvement that that of one or two entire seconds would have been when her record stood at e higher figure and could more easily havt been beaten. Forty odd years ago the best trotting record stood at 2:40. That figure wat used in slang to illustrate all fast men, fast methods and fast moAements. Horses had not then been trained tc trotting, and the possibilities of deA-elop ment in that direction were not ever faintly imagined. After this record had stood for years, and was supposed to bt the best that, could be made, a horse named Bippo, in 1843, completely frac tured it by trotting a mile in 2:28. This also remained for years the best tim made, and again the world interested in eports settled down into the easy belie! that the best possible trotting time had been accomplished. Rut such was not the case. A few years afterwards Jacl Rossiter, a horse without a pedigree, that had, when young, dragged a hotel baggage-wagon around the streets of a Western city, and Avas afterwards trained for the turf, trotted iu 2:22. The next reduction was by Flora TViple, 8 mare "also Avithout a pedigree, who im proved this time by 2 seconds, making a record of2:l!H. This in turn Avas broken by Dexter at Buffalo, Aug. 14, 1SG7, when he trotted a mile in 2:17j. He Avas louoht on the track by Roleit Bonner for jj",000, and that remarkable amateur owned him to the time of his death. Mr. Bonner has also bought each of the fastest trotters on the turf as they appeared from time to time, down to Maud S., with her record of 2:08J. More time, skill and money have been ileA-oted to tho development of a fast trotting gait in horses than to almost auy improvement in machinery which the inventive genius of man has under taken. To increase by a feAV seconds oi the fraction of a second on a mile the speed of a single trotting horse has re quired years of training, and to keep and train a trotting horse costs as much as it costs to keep a small-sized family of moderate desires in the comforts and necessaries of life. The multitude and quality of horses that have been so kept and trained indicate the Aast expenditure that has been bestowed upon these ex periments. The best horsea, except Maud S., have made the best time long after they had passed what was supposed to be their maturity, at 8 or 9 years of age, and she may cease to be an excep tion. Flora Temple, at nearly twice that age, did her lest Avork. This is an other evidence of the expense involved iu trainiug trotters. Half the lifetime of a horse, 15 or 16 years old, is required to develop its best speed at this gait, and often the improvement is but a few sec onds or less in trotting a mile. . A good old age for an ordinary horse is eighteen or twenty years. The age ol Dexter at his death" was thirty years. But since he was purchased by Mr. Bonner he has had not an easy time; like any other fortunate and retired iudivi dhal. With enough to eat and a horse never eats too much with just the exer cise that he required for health, ho had all the chances for long life that the ca pacities of his species and a good consti tution could have allotted to his share. The old friends of Dexter in Chicago, where he was once owned, will be glad to learn, in his death, according to his magnificent OAvner's order, he does nol go to the bone-yard, but has a fit grave in a country "field, where the apple blossoms are 'beginning to display theii new-blown tints of beauty and to make the vernal air delightful with their frag rance, and where the tall grass in sum mer Avill wave in the breeze above his remains. He Had Not. Johann Schnell, i new messenger in the Navy Department at Washington, is extremely nervotra regarding a telephone, never having seen one until a few days ago. He was obliged to ansAver a call from the instru ment recently, and his incoherent an swers exasperated the speaker at the other end of the line. "You must liave been drinking," Schnell heard the angrj individual exclaim. "No, I haven't," said the messenger gently. "It must be the strong tobacco I am chewing thai you smell." Sharp. A sharp Maine constable opened a cement barrel the other day on suspicion. He found it packed solidlj with sand, wet down, and in the middle cf the barrel Avas a twenty-gallon keg of whiskey.

The escape of many from death is regarded as maf felons. murder At ATtAlrr J, A. George Eddleman shot and killed Tom Gresham, in front of the Merchants' Ex change at Atlanta, on Wednesday. He claims it was all done in self-defense. The verdict of the inquest read as fol lows: "We, a coroner's jury this day empaneled to influlf e Into the death of J Thomas G-eshain, here lying dead, find j from the evidence adduced, and the opinion of the county physician here present, that he came to his death from a pistol wound in the right side, made by a pistol in the hand of George H. Eddleman, and that in our opinion it was a case of willful murder." FOUR MER WHO MAT HANG. A terrible crime was committed in Rhea county, Tenn., by font negroes, three of whom were captured and lodged in the county jail at Washington. The four negroes went to a white widow woman's house, and two of them brutally outraged her, chile the other two at tempted to criminally assault her daugh ter. In this, however, they failed, the girl eluding them and escaping, gave an alarm, which drew some neighbors some distance away to their assistance. All fout of the negroes ran, but a large posse was soon raised, and going in pursuit captured three of them the next morning. Parties from that section, which is re mote from the telegraph and railroad, who came down the river to Chattanooga, say that if the parties arrested prove to be the guilty men, there's sure to be a quadruple lynching in the county of Rhea within the next few day6. The name of the white woman assaulted could not be earned. deputv sheriff murdered. Sunday morning Deputy Sheriff Shipe was shot and killed by Hicks Martin, a negro, whom he was attempting to arrest at the Powell Valley Railroad works, twenty miles north of Knoxyille. The negro was wanted in Alabama for mur der. Deputy Sheriff Shipe found that Martin was working on the new railroad and went to the camp to arrest him. He went to the tent where Martin was in company with other negroes and called for him. He met the deputy sheriff at the door with two pistols and began firing on him. Shipe fell riddled with bullets before he had time to draw his own weapon. He died in a few minutes without speaking a word. The negro made his escape. Should he be taken alive he will be lynched. A HUMAN HOLOCAUST. Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis and her three grandchildren were smothered to death at Cleveland. O., at the house of William LleAvellyn, in Hoadly street. Jlr. and Mrs. Llewellyn were away from home during the evening, leaving their chil dren in charge of Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Lew cllyn's mother. Shortly before midnight the house took fire and was partially de stroyed.
