Miss Rogers' Disappearance.
Cltarl..tlr Car.lt-I.
Mini Mary Itogers. rich young
woman of Yirgiuia, dixipiearvd
from the hotel at Saranac Lake last
Saturday, and no trace of her has
been found. Her rase is exciting
a good deal of interna throughout
the country, ami iu the Riltimore
Sun we find that a sail, but touch
ing romance is counccted itb it.
The maiden, the central lignre,
pushes aside, reluctantly, but with
a linu hand, au oiler ot marriage
iu her devotiou to au invalid lather
until her o n health breaksdown
aud the efforts of her sweet heart iu
restoring her health after her fath
er's death, iu the hoiie that he may
still marry her this, iu short, Ls
the explanation of the presence at
Saranac lake. New York, of Mr.
Willoughby X. Smith of Italtiniore
and Miss Mary Kogers of Ieesburg.
Ya., who disapjH-aml from her
room on Saturday Might in her
uiglit clothes. Mr. Smith and Mis
Kogers hail been engaged for a
number of years and were sweet
hearts for a longer period. Miss
lingers would never consent to
marry Mr. Smith as long aa her in
valid father lived. He uecdedeare,
she said, and only she could prop
erly care for him. If Mr. Smith
would marry ber he would have to
wait. Two years ago the father
died, leaving his daughter broken
in health and suffering from mel
ant liolia. Mr. Smith, who had re
mained a constant friend to his
liance anil her father, endeavored
(4i restore her to health, ami it a as
in this attempt that he took her to
Saranac Iake, accompanied by a
nurse.
The young woman had Wh put
to lied Saturday night by Miss, Ian
uey, a trained nurse, who, when
she went to attend to ber patient
Sunday morning, received no an
swer to her knock. She entered
the room aud discovered that Miss
Kogers hail disapiieai'cd. The wire
window screen had been cut out
ami there were other evidences of
violence. Miss Jauuey immediate
ly gave the alarm, ami it was not
long la-fore the whole settlement
was intensely excited over the case.
The mountains have been searched
and the river dragged, but no trace
of Miss Kogers has lieeu discovered.
It is oue of the most remarkable
ciuses of mysterious disappearance
on record and the romance attend
ing it invests it with peculiar in
terest.
Miss Kogers' body has since
tteen found in the river nearby.
She is supposed to have committed
suicide.

Durinp; the annual convention
of a certain religious bod v, not so
very lon ago, an incident oc
curred which was not on the pro
gram, and which completely up
set the gravity of the ministers
and brethren assembled. It was
at the closing session, and the
chairman stated that they were
about one hundred dollars short
of an amount desired to be raised
for a given purpose, and hoped
that the sum could be made up
before final adjournment. One
of the laymen jumped up with
the remark:
"I'll start the good work with
$25."
"I don't know your name,
brother, "said the chairman, "but
may God bless you, and may your
business be doubled during the
year.
Much to his astonishment, a
burst of laughter followed from
many in the hall, which was ex
ulained when a brother up in
front stepped to the platform and
whispered:
"Why, that's Mr. Blank, a
prominent undertaker of the
town."

The bright clear sky overhead:
the morning sun to hours alsive
the dlolre mountain, hairier ouoiir
eastern honmi, the tree tops full
of the melodies of summer song
sters and the fields echoing with
the ISob Whiten' cheerful notes;
cattle gra.iug in the meadow; the
wagons of the luniU-rnien Massing
noisily by; the clear little mountain
river dashing tbroukli the valley
below; the welcome morning breeze
cooled and eologned bv the heavy
tie'; the unshorn mountains rising
up with their majestic angularities
the warming July suu far alsiveon
his lofty throne looking hither
through boughs of holly and twigs
of cedar such is the scene around
and above a summer pilgrim ou
the Graveyard Hill.
It is not much of a hill, to lie
sure. Perhaps ouly hixty or seven
ty feet it rises alsive the level of
the river two hundred yards away:
in fact, it is so humble that you
could nee it from only three or four
caks iu the immediate vicinity.
Its nil dirt is infused with white
flints, like raisins iu a cuke. 1 In
cleared spair allotted to it ou the
edge of the forest is an uneven
square, H-rhaps twenty live yards
to the side. There is a rather steep
incline southward aud eastward.
A half dozen decaying stumps
stand among close-cropped broom
sedge ami mark the rcinanls of a
by gone woodland civilization. Ten
holly trees, three young cedars, a
decrepit persimmon, a vigorous
young white pine, a knotty black
gum, a scrawny dogwood, ami a
stately poplar still send their roots
into the Mi lily sloc and spread
ilsive it their shady foliage.
Nor is the Graveyard Hill Un
resting place of many departed:
fewer than twenty red mounds are
here. Only nine of them are
marked with enduring marble ami
these are simply slabs; the others
lit memorialized by uniuscriU-d
head ami foot stones gathered by
triendly hands ami set uuchlseled
iu their place. There are but three
little zig.ag rows of dead that on
the brow of the slope eastward
being occupied by colored M'ople,
dating mainly from ante Irellmn
days. Ami here in the other graves
lie chiefly the ineiiiliers of the one
family clearing and controlling
these lien's. It is just a family
graveyard away buck in the coun
try; that is all.
And yet to me it is more than
llcllfvicw in our county towu of
Lenoir, or Oik wood in our State
capital at Kaleigh. More, not Ire
cause we looked up to its calm
sloiie many a long day from the
sweaty fields la-low, or Is-ciiuse the
cows were carried iiunumtrcred
times by it to their pasture, or be
cause iu the woods ulsiut it the
siuirrcls were hunted in the rosy
pitst, or Is-cause in the hollow by it
grew some ot the most luscious
peaches that ever rejoiced a palate.
Is It h! range that here I feel a surge
of pulse ami moisture of eye uufelt
la-fore the statue of Yance, the
grave of Ice, or thetombof Wash
ington! How is it that historic
mausoleums dwindle iu comparison
with these plain slalis how that
simple country graveyard rises
mountain high almve the enchant
ing city cemetery with its splendid
shafts, grassy plots, shaded walks
and aristocratic dead!
Mainly, I think, because here is
au inlant s grave, and just above it
is the grave of a man, and next to
that a grave that is yet to Is- made.
It was years and years ago.
Three brothers were playing one
morning ou the grassy bank of the
Shop liniiicli us it nears the river.
Iu their veins ran fresh and red
and fast the streams of life. I'll
familiar were they with the trage
dies of birth and denth. Care free
hs the babbling brook were they
and light-hearted as the birds of
the air. How sweet and sunny their
childish play!
And us they played the angel ol
life and the angel of death, almost
hand iu hand, entered ami left their
home. Hut they saw not nor knew
till their father came anil told them
iu the slow, solemn, nevei to Is
forgotten words, "There's a little
dead baby at the house!"
It was as if sunlieauis had been
changed into lightnings and bird
twitter into thunder crashes.
"A little dead baby at the
house!"
Deep and indelible was the im
press of that first shock of com
mingled life and death. While we
were at play a wie brother from
far-away, myst -Hons Kabyland had
come to make us happy and join
our game; but, alas, his tiny hands
were no sooner oened to greet us
thau they were closed over his
bosom; the cry of dawning life end
ed in the note of chilling death;
the morning light he saw, then
closed his eyes forever; his spirit
fluttered for a moment in our world
and then winged its way to God.
Up now from childish game and
verdant playground; iuto our cot
tage on tip toe, hearts thumping,
breathing labored; and there, all
clad in white, lay "the little dead
baby," on our trundle bed!
We had heard parent and preach
er sHak of death, but to us they
spoke in aa unknown tongue. But
ty, to the rare of God aud of their
mother.
And now the Graveyard Hill ia
ami colu Ik-fine our very eyes. Aud richer, lufiuitely richer, than ever
In-fore. So M us keep down the
grasM aud act-ds; clear back the uu
ble foe that snatched our brother's deibruh; trim out the dead

the shis-k of that tirst uiiwccpiiig
sorrow found relief in the M-rforiu

The tiny colli n was made and the
I kiI. v put ill it. A handful of
frieuils came and followed the little
ImkIv around the orchard to the
Graveyard Hill, aud here, in a
short, deep, narrow grave was laid
the Isrdy of the little fellow whom
we knew not but loved and
mourned.
And the Graveyard Hill hence
forth was something nunc than
ever in the past; this red mound
and these small marble slabs have
all through the years liecu the
marksofour initial family Is-reave
incut,
Years passed - oh, would they
had been longer ami many, many
more! The very first year of thi
ne w century had come and the tirst
month of the year was going day
by dav. The home yonder at t lu-
base of that south hillsitle had for
three decades caught as much sun
light out of heaven as any home in
the valley, and the sunlight w ithin
was even more bright and constant
than that without, lint now at last
on the family horizon appears a

llravely, patiently he struggled for

In mi home, and with no loved one

ISack then on the thundering
train, ami through icy air to our
station and then across country for
nine miles in the face of Hying snow
iltul freezing blast, and then as dark
ness fell - the lifeless form, follow
ed by devoted sons, came under
the home roof for the tirst time.
It was a black night- the oakwood
lire blazing all through the house
was not merry, but dirgeful; Un
wind sweeping through the forest
on the nearby hills sang a funeral
song: mid dolonous was the ripple
of the river over its shoals. A
black night, and blacker within
our hearts than without our home.
And blacker still was the ensuing
day that last day we looked upon
his face. Friends came Irom near
ami lar to show us that our loss
was theirs. And when the man of
God -friend of the coffined dead
with whom he had wrought and
n-sled and laughed and supped
and worshiped - w hen he had de
liven-d his message, the procession
came up to the Graveyard Hill and

A Rabbit and Snake Story.

A few days ago, while Mrs. I).

their front liorch they uoticed a
very large black snake pursued by
a rabbit coming into the yard. The
rabbit time aud agaiu jumped ou
the snake and scratched and bit it,
until finally the snake became so
bard pressed it took to a tree. Miss
Florence, who is an excellent shot,
then procured a shot gnu and shot
the snake, but this not bringing it
down, she tried a rille on it with
Is-tter success. It is supiioscd the
nuke had probably eateu some of
the rabbit's young, which so eu-
ruged the rabbit that it lost its usu

the snake was compelled to tlee.
