at4 a kiiidler heart never beat in any
bosom. .
He had not the commanding stature
of iis ffifjlier nor the beauty of his love

he was a beardless, round face boy,
witL big j light - tine eyes, a shaved,

sorof smile, that parted his lips if lie
saiiit in las endless punning, anything
personal j.lpr semisevere. The smile
was a sort oF apology -p'that don't

her faithfulness to him by cousentmg
to & raarriage before she went abroad.
While she was gone, he was to try and
make, a home for her, an 1 if worst

from him, he would know she was his.
and inspired; by that thougt, would do.
sreat thin
her willingness to marry hint at anj
time. In ball" an hoar they were on
their way a&ross the river, accompanied
by a friend or two, and the ceremony
was performed. !
Tljo npws leaked out of course, be
fore the departure of tho family to
Evrope, and created a stir in the social
world of Louisville. The news was as
much a surprise tp Gen, and Mrs.
Hancock as to the wife's father and
mother. Mrs. Hancock had been vis
iting her boy and had left only the day
before he was married. He bad, told
her nothing of his intentions, and the
shock struck to a tender place in her
mother heart, but she welcomed her
pretty daughter kindly, and they are
fast, true iriends. The raarriage was
entirely unpremeditated; was not
planned beforehand, 'nor- thought of
until that fateTul conversation.
It was six months or a. yeaf after
the mysterious wedding that the pair
came to boards with ua. Tha father,
up to that time, bad not forgiven his
daughter. Her mother came to see
her, and her f little sisters were over
every day and thought the world and
all of brother Russell. .
Mrs. Hancock had beeii one of the
prettiest, brighest young belles
of Louisville that old town was
famous for its pretty maidens.and ccW
ebratcd especiaily for its lovely trio,
Sailie Ward.! Alice Brannin, ano Jenny
Moore. She had been raised in a
fashionable manner, but I she settled
down with earnerness into-a thougliful,
teachable little housewife, and I don't
believe Russell Hancock could ever
have picked out a better or a bonnier
bride than tl,:e little girl Who ran away
into Hoosier' land, across the falls in
the darkness, with him, to prove her
devotion to the son of the Yankee gen
eral. ;. . U '
Our boarding bourse broke up. We
drifted, apart!. Two years alter I spent
a j sa.n n ;r afterio Jii with my
young friends at Mrs. General ILtrt
cock's mother's Mrs. Russell, at their
country seat, near the old barracks, a
fevmile3 out of St. Louis. The house
wds an imposing old-fashioned man
sion, set in park, upon which a pretty
ledge faced and a monster gate opened
There was a! wide hall, iDlaid floor, a
big rug iu the centre of it ; a sofa and
a table on the rug ; the back door
stood open ; jit led, out into the. sum
mery greoness, and tha fresh tangle of
wjoodbine scents and. lily spikes and
roses In the parlor was a fine harp,
standing under a protrait of Mrs.
iluhcock in bridal dress. There was
a! life-size portrait of the general,
gj-and and imposing, in full nnifornv;
there sword ind embroidered chairs,
scrhens and an ornamental piano
cover, the work of Mrs. Gen. Han
cock's fingersU hen she was a girl, and
a! picture, I think, of their dead daugh
ter, Ada, and;of a chubby, rosy baby,
liussell a-j man-, grown now all
treasured by the old grandmother, as
mementoes ?f the old time, that
mothers never forget, no matter how
infirm they grow or how the children
et. There was ho one in the house
but the young people, the grandmother
and the servants, j The gradmother
confined to her room, sent her kiadly
greetings by her grandson. "Grand,
mother raised me, nearly ; t wish you
could meet her. I was with her a
sbod deal when I was a little fellow

three chatted and recalled the past
days as merry, but not merrier than we
were in our close quarters in the

s fpctdd simplicity of his laanncr. I
I have never heard hiua braz. boast or
prop himself on bis father's merits, or

could hardly furnish him room. But

politely to old mammy as to an heiress
and helped to my knowledge, a ragged
tottering old man along tho streets
under bis umbrella with as much con
sidereration as if he had been a duke.
Once afterwards I saw the Han
cock's. The husband met me 0!J the
street uneipectedls, and took 1 mej
whether or no, to see bis wife and a !
wee mite of baby that had just come.
It was a little bunddle, and wouldn't
wake. It was tossed up to me to ad
mire ; kissed, hugged and held up by
the heels, or dress skirts, but not a
bit did it care for company Then
they pulled its eyelfds open so 1 coluld
see its lovely eyes ; a comic stare met
iqe for a second, then the lid dropped ;
and the baby was in dreamland, think
ing of the litne, maybe, when it uight
be the grand-daughter of a President,
and fashioning, otft of heavenly mate
rials the radiant garments it would
wear when that time came. 1
The mother and myself looked at all
the pretjy baby Rothes in the baby's
special drawer, and: I was shown a box
of dainty things that Grandma Han
cock had sen-t, and a basket that
Great Grandma Russel had made for
it. It was to bear the names of Mr.
Hancock's nK)ther and dead sister, j I
left it well equipped for its journey of
life. I left the young people loving,
happy and proud. I have never seen
them since. , . f
I heard that he has become a" prds
ous cotton planter, a favorite with his
neighbors, in good repute with the
world, making money and keeping jnp
his cheery witticisms. He would be
the same frank fellow, whether son of
blacksmith, general or President
Everything is happy in his life. But
then, as his wife onc said.. 'S0me.
people are born to luek." 1

"Well, you must know I, had a great
htjbit of walking out through the park

On the night of Thursday, July 8th.
as late as 11 o'clock, a couple of poij
liceraen In Danville, V.t while on du-j
ty o Craighead stfeet.heard the sound
of a pistol fired apparently in the house
of Lelia Lester, who is the proprietress
of a noted bagnio on Newton street.
Starting to heaf the cause, the guar
dians of the peace were startled by
hearing four additional shots fired in
quick succession, i The developments
which soon followed ; are thus detailed
in the Danville Fast of Frklar of last
week i ' -
n -" ' - '-.-'"
Rushing to the house they were ad
mitted and told that the firing was In
a room up stairs, and running op the
officers were guided to the door of a
oomj by the sound of groans within.
Demanding admittance, a man's voice
j . - i - . - -
refused, and they were warned that
if they attempted to enter, it would be
at the peril of their lives ; that be
had three shots left and would use
them on sny one who attempted to
enter the room." 1 Inforrainff' him of
their official character officer "Watson
burst the door pen and entered, to
find iriioraas ' Dejarnettfr standing jn
the floor over the body of his sister,
Mollie Dejarnettej writhing on the floor
in the agonies of death, with the still
smolviiig pistol, empty in his hand.
She had received fire wottnds, one
penetrating the Chest between the
breasts, two In the back near the spinal
Column just above the hips, one in the
left shoulder and ofle which had pass
ed entirely through the hand. De
jarnet'.e readily surrendered to the de
mand of the officers, flrtd' gave up his
pistcl saying he had accomplished
whr.t lie had, Come; for, and was pre4
pared to meet any fate the law might
impose. While one of tho officers
took him to the city. prison, the other.
aided by a nttmb'ep of persons who had
by this time gathered, p roc ceiled r to
render such aid a3 might be to the dy

Dr. Franklin George Was quickly
summoned, but pronounced her con-
ditioiji hopeless at once. With every
attejnpt at motion of her botly, tho
blood would gash from her gaping
wounds, and in a short time she com
mence' to expectorate the vital fluid
indicating internal hemorrhage. Al
her request Rev. V. A. l'etarson was
sent for and on his arrival he talked
as freely to him as her Condition would
permit. She stated that only lately
she had adopted her life of sin and
shame that she had fallen a victim
to the wiles , of a libertine some eigh
teen months ago who, under promise of
marriage, had betrayed her, but only
for a short time had she led the life of
an open prostitute. She freely ac

alpaca coat, black pantaloons, white
stockings, which hung in loose 2uld
about his ankles, and a pair ot. jdotlar-and-a-half
embroidered slippers. He
makes no attempt at dress parade, but
looks like a man who means businoss
from beginning to end, and who is de
