Yet oh 1 it i8 a lovely death
To fade from earth like them.

exclaimed :
"There, there, Betty, is. a ground hog
for dinner." Betty turned the affair over
with the toe of her brogan, gazedintently
for two minutes, and' then deliberately
said :

of their Satanic revenge. Having busi

he", Captain "Barmore, had arrested a few
days pteviobs, and having missed theTegu
lar train Uof the morning, was on board
t he night train, and was snngly ensconsed
in the rearTcar, in profound sluPiber. At
Columbia masked men seized the train,
and instituted a vigorous search through
the cars until they found the Captain.
Ord enng him to get dp the desparadoes
hurried their victim away. Tltai was ike

as the result of his intention to ferret out
and exposefthe Klan. It speaks confid'en
