THE BODY WAS D BAGGED FBOM TH CLOCK.
since one fateful night In 1864 when It
played an Important part In a bloody
tragedy that broke Miss Patsy Cole
rain's heart and enveloped her life In a
pall of gloom that will never be lifted
this side of the grave.
In 1864 Miss Patsy Colerain was con
sidered one of the handsomest young
women in Nelson county. Of an old
line family, wealthy In her own name,
she was naturally much sought after
and had suitors by the score. Of course
she. had but one choice, and that was
Reuben Morebead, a descendant of one
of Kentucky's governors, who claimed
Nelson county as his birthplace. Young
Morehead was an orphan who had
been reared by a neighboring farmer.
Patsy bad known him all her life and
had loved him as far back as she could
remember.
The war broke out, and Reuben took
up arms for the north. Then followed
sad days for the young girL Her fa
ther sickened and died, and her only
brother was In the far south battling
for the Confederacy. Thus she was
left with only the faithful negro slaves
and a nephew barely in his teens.
At this time the neighborhood was
full of guerrillas. "Sue" Mundy and
his gang were terrorizing that entire
section, and soldiers and civilians alike
were falling at their hands. The out
laws were frequently at the Colerain
house, and, while Patsy had never
suffered any Indignities from them, she
was in constant terror lest she might.
One rainy night In April, 1864, Miss
Colerain was sitting before a cheerful
fire, her mind busy with thoughts of
her absent lover, when suddenly the
door opened, and young Morebead, at
tired in a handsome uniform, stood be
fore her. Before she could speak tbe
young soldier caught her In his arms
and showered kisses upon ber blush
ing face.
A second later she broke from his
embrace, and, trembling with fright,
she remonstrated with him for daring
to leave his command and come there
alone. The country, she said, was
swarming with guerrillas and other
enemies to his cause and that If he
was caught there his life would pay
the penalty. He soon reassured her,
however, and convinced her that he
could reach his lines, which were not
far away, without the least danger to
himself.
Happy to have him with her, she
nestled up to him, on the old sofa, and
together they talked of love and tbe
happy times when the cruel war should
be over and they should be united,
never to part.
While thus engaged there came
above the patter of the rain tbe tramp
ing of many horses. The lovers' faces
blanched with terror, for they knew
that enemies were upon them. Going
to tbe window. Patsy saw by the faint
light of the moon breaking through 'the
clouds that which caused her heart to
cease to beat and paralyzed her every
thought and motion. Tbe yard was
filled with half drunken guerrillas.
When her speech at last came to her,
she turned to he lover, who was now
at her side, and said In scarcely audi
ble tones:
"My God. Reuben; lt Is "Sue' Mundy
and his gang. If they catch you here,
It Is certain death! Oh, what shall we
do?"
By this time the guerrillas were at
the door clamoring for admittance.
Then lt was that an idea came to the
distressed girl.
"The old clock. Reuben, get Into
that," she said. "It Is plenty large, and
they will riSver discover you there."
The young man lost no time In clam-
feering Into the barrel of the clock, and
his sweetheart fastened the door,
then, with a lighter heart,- she admit
ted the guerrillas, who were growling
and cursing at the delay.
Filing through the long hall Into the
cozy sitting room, they took seats and
demanded refreshments. Patsy left to
Comply with their demands, but she
had hardly left the dining room when
she heard the guerrillas raving and
cursing and the report of firearms.
Realizing the worst, she hurried back
and reached the hall Just in time to
witness the murderous outlaws drag
ging the dead body of her lover from,
the old clock. At this juncture again
came the tramp of horses, followed by
more firing and commotion, and then
to Patsy came a blank.
, For weeks the girl hovered between
life and death, a victim of brain fever.
When the dicease left her, she was but
a wreck of her former elf. When she
grew stronger, they told her that she.
had neglected to conceal her .lover's
overcoat and gloves, that the guerrillas
discovered them and Instituted a
search for the young soldier, that the
latter threw open the; door of the clock;
presumably with the hope of making
his escape, when he was shot and In-

THE ASPARAGUS BED.
If you want to set out an asparagus
bed this spring, do this: Cut old roots
into three or four pieces with a sharp
spade, prepare your bed. digging up to
a depth of a foot Fertilize heavily,
using well rotted stable manure, or the
surplus cats and dogs of . your neigh
borhood could be well- planted right
here and give good returns. Cut none
at aQ the first year and sparingly the
second, but after that as liberally as
you like. Do not cut after June 20, but
allow all the growth to mature on the
bed. These directions followed out will
give you an abundant supply of one of
the finest vegetables tbe garden affords.
We are asked how best to renovate
an old and weedy pasture. If possible.
we would plow it up and take a crop of
corn from it this year, a crop of small
grain next year and seed down anew,
If the land must be kept in pasture,
we would take a cutaway disk and give
it a thorough disking both ways, then
sow clover and timothy, dragging it
smooth. This will rejuvenate the bluo
grass and practically make the pasture
over new.

I desire to express my sincere thanks to my friends for the
more than liberal patronage they have extended me during the
past Tear, and with the hope that they have had a merry Christ
mas, wish them a happy and prosperous "New Year."
If any one has neglected to do their dutyXmas, or wish to
"reciprocate" New Year, I have a few 'fleft overs" at a reduced
price. : ; " ' j "'
