THE "HICKORY PRINTING COMPANY.
Hickory, Portia Carolina.
A VERY SAD CASE.
We are in receipt of a marked
"sample copy" of a daily news
paper dated at Braddock, Pa.;
March 13th, 195, in which among
other things, outside of 'Covey
on Bishop Foster," is the startling-
statement in the editorial
column: "Each day furnished us
with evidence of the progress of
the Flinn Pill."
AVe have scratched our head
and, by jove! we have come to the
conclusion that a job has been
put up on us. Here is a man who
wants a whole day and a series of
days, "each day." to be furnished
with evidence about the "pro
gress" of Jim Smith's or Jerry
Jones, let alone the Hon. Mr.
Flinn's, pill. But the erudite Edi
tor goes on to State: "The dis
tricts Pittsburg is after, are in
jeopardy, the crucial test is nigh,
but the interests in opposition to
the bill (litre is where he changes
the word and meaning) "seem to
be oozing out instead of increas-
5)
ing.
Consound the man! Does he
want it to ooz out and increase
too? This comes up with our
North Carolina legislative pills.
The only 'difference is, thev do
not ''progress', each cay." Who
would give ii cent for any other
kind? "Jeopardy" is a good
word. We need it held up before
the public. Tt will show them their
danger hero and hereafter pro
vided they live to see it. But why
did ho not serreptitionsly get in
"resurgaim," some where? The
article is incomplete. Though he
lets the pill vended public down
quite easy by telling some of them,
and we tell the balance, that 'the
crucial test is nigh." There is
quite an agreement among these
great minds on that point. But
how are we to tell it? How are
we to know it when we see it? No
jobs and no bjad pills can pass
muster in this camp-
Indisposition or some other in
ternal disturbance worked a rack
et on the Fusion and now many
Republicans are charging the
Populists in the late Legislature,
of N. C, with having been basely
ingratitudinous.
Yes; it do look like the Repub
licans failed of many of their de
sires and the Pops pulled the best
chestnuts out of the hot embers
with Rep ublican fingers. Any way,
the legislature quit before it ad
journed and the members all went
home to arnica up the bruises.
The ladies of the Hickory Li
brary have had their day and had
their say, as well as way, in the
Press and Carolinian. Their work
shows for itself. The paper they
got out last week was one of the
best issues of this newspaper; and
has been commented upon favor
ably and with pride by every one
horo in Hickory.
We thank the ladies for their
kindness and courtesies.
I guess we are not in it. We
have gone all the gaits, dressed
in all the styles, been austere and
severe, also pleasant and mild,
each in proper turn with the view
of inciting favor and creating a
good'opinion, but consound some
people they persist in coming in
to our editorial sanctum and look
ing us square in the eye and en
quiring, "Where is the Editor?"
Hang such people.

Mr. deSalol: -A former busi
ness man of Hickory said to me,
'you do not know thes old Dutch

Jenks: Well, what did vou do?

Mr. deSalol: All I said was

A cool, cold-blooded calculat
ing man has more chance of be
ing respected by all classes of
people, and gaining for himself
the respect of other people in this
community, as well as all others,
than the man who gives liberally
and lives upon the Mosaic prin
cipal of "Live and let Jive."
Jenks:Why is that Episcopal
church bell now ringing nearly
every day?
Mr. deSalol: Because it is Lent
Jenks: And I suppose like all
borrowers they want to wear it
out. Who borrowed it?
Mr. deSalol: Why you old

know good Wednesday from Ash
Friday, go to church and learn
something.

One inidw.nter nigiic, ia a blinding snow
storm Captain Arthur L. Xickerson, in
c;:n:na:ul of the gallant little schooner
Alla liven, ran out from Vineyard Sound
b.'f.r; the northeast ale and made for the
op.ra sea. The storm vras at its height when
thr wind shifted so suddenly that before the
s!ip.r realized his situation his ears
ciu:nt the sound of the breakers booming
on i.tint Judith's treacherous shore.
Fifteen minutes after the Allen Green
struek, Captain Herbert M. Knowles' crew
of hardy life savers had begun the work of
rescue. Captain Xickerson, when brought
nh re, was in a pitiable condition. As he
1 iter stated in his official report of the disaster
(see Government Report) made to Superin
tendent Kimball of the Life Saving Service,
''1 sutfered much from cramps and pains
caud by the bruies I received before I
went ashore, having been at the wheel fifteen
hours continuously."
The life savers wrapped the brave voting
sailor in warm blankets and gave him Pain
Killer freely. The famous old remedy ac
complished an immediate relief, and Captain
Xiekers'n slept as peacefully as achild that
night and avoK.e next morning in a condition
to face .another tempest, if necessary, lie
fe?ls that the prompt ue of Pain-Killer after
his frarful experience rescued him from un
utterable suffering and even save! his life.
Brave Captain Knowles is now assistant
snperintendent of the life saving district
He says the life savers all use Pain-Killer,
and consider it the 'bet and most reliable
'all-around" remedy they can have by them.
Captains Asa Church, of Point Judith sta
tion: Albert Church, of Xarragansett Pier;
Pavh at Watch Hill; Saunders at Quono-'
chontatig ami their gallant crews, endorse
Captain Knowles in his unstinted praise of
Pain-Kil'er as an invaluable remedy fa
emergencies encountered in daily life.

I COrYKISMT, BY THI J. LIWUCOTT OOw
i auce. He askcfi for a dance, but she had
( not one to sive him. As she was leav
ing she -suddenly turned as though she
had forgotten something, and,, looking
at him said: "I forgot to congratulate
you on your marriage, I hope it is not
too late."
He bowed. 'Your congratulations are
so sincere, " he said, "that they would
be,axropos late or early."
When he stood with his wife while
the guests were leaving and saw with
what manner she carried it all off as
though she had been born in the good
land of good breeding he was moved
alternately with wonder and shame '
shame that he had intended this noble
creature as a sacrifice to his ugly tem
per and spite. When all the guests were
gone and the family stood alone in tho
drawing room, a silence suddenly fell
among them. Presently Marion said to
her mother in a half whisper, "I wish
Richard were here. "
They all felt tho extreme awkward
ness of the situation, especially when
Lali bade General Armour, Mrs, Ar
mour and Marion good night and then,
turning to her husband, said, "Good
night." She did not even speak his
name. "Perhaps you would care to ride
tomorrow morning. I always go to the
park at 10, and this will bo my last ride
of the season. "
Had she written out an elaborate
proclamation of her intended attitude
toward her husband it could not have
more clearly conveyed her mind than
this little speech, delivered as to a most
friendly acquaintance. General Armour
pulled his mustache fiercely, and, it is
possible, enjoyed the situation despite
its peril. Mrs. Armour turned to the
mantel and seemed tremulously engaged
in arranging some bric-a-brac. Marion,
however, with a fine instinct, slidfher
arm through that of Lali and gently
said: "Yes, of course Frank will be
glad of a ride in the park. Ho used to
ride with me every morning. But let us
go, us three, and kiss tho baby good
night 'good night till we meet in the
morning. ' ' ' She linked her arm through
Frank's, and as she did so he replied to
Lali, "I shall be glad to rido in the
morning, but"
"But we can arrange it at breakfast, "
said his wife hurriedly. At the same
time she allowed herself to bo drawn
away to the hall with her husband.
He was angry, but he knew he had no
right to be so. He choked back his
wrath and moved on amiably enough,
and suddenly tho fashion in which tho
tables had been turned on him struck
him with i(s tragic comedy, and he in
voluntarily smiled. His sense of humor
saved him from words and acts which
might possibly have made the matter
a pure tragedy after all. He loosed his
arm from Marion's.
"I must bid our father and mother
good night Then I will join you both
'in the court of the king.' " And he
turned and went back and said to his
father as he kissed his mother, "I am
had at an advantage, general."
"And serves you right, my boy. You
had the odds with you. She has cap
tured them like a born soldier."
His mother said to him gently:
"Frank, you blamed us, but remember
that wo wished only your good. Take
my advice, dear, try to love your wife
and win her confidence. "
Love her try to love her!" he said.
"I shall easily do that But the other"
He shook his head a little, though
what he meant perhaps he did not know
himself, and then followed Marion and
Lali up stairs. Marion had tried to es
cape from Lali, but was told that she
must stay, and the three met at tho
child's cot Marion stooped down and
kissed its forehead. Frank stooped also
and kissed its cheek. Then tho wife
kissed the other cheek. The child slept
peacefully on.
"You can always see the baby here
before breakfast if you choose, " said
Lali, and she held out her hand again
in good night At this point Marion
Etole away in spite of Lali's quick little
cry of "Wait Marion!" and the two
were left alone again.
"I am very tired," she said. "I
would rather not tr.lk tonight" The
dismissal was evident He took her
hand, held it an instant and presently
said: "I will not detain you, but I
would ask you, Lali, to remember that
you are my wife. Nothing can alter
that."
"Still we are only strangers, as yoa
know," she quietly rejoined.
"Yen forget the days we were to
gether after we were married," he
cautiously urgccL
"I am not the ame girL You killed
her. We have to start again. I know
all." ,
"You know that in
anger and madness I"

"Oh, please do not speak of it!" she
said. "It is so bad even iu thought. "
"But will you never forgive mo and
care for me? We have to live our lives
together."
"Pray let us not speak of it now,"
she said in a weary voice. Then breath
lessly, It is cf much more consequence
that you should love me and tho
child."
He drew himself up with, a choking
sigh and spread out his arms to her.-'
"Oh. my wife!" be said.
e -
No, "no," she cried, "this is unre
sonable. We know so little of each oth
er. Good night again. "
He turned at the door, came back,
! and stooping kissed the child on tho
; lips. Then he said: "You are right I
deserve to suffer. Good night "
But when he was gone she dropped
on her knees and kissed the child ninny
' times on the lips aa

I CHAPTER IX.
! When Francis Armour left his wife's
room, he did not go to his own room,
but quietly descended the stairs, went
to the library and sat down. The lone
liest thing in tho world is to be tete-a-tete
with one's conscience, A man may
have a bad hour with an enemy, a sad
hour with a friend, a peaceful hour
with himself, but when the little dwarf.
conscience, porches upon every hillock
of remembrance and makes slow signs
those symlwls of the language of tho
soul to him, no slave upon the tread
mill suffers more.
The butler came in to see if anything
was required, but Armour only greeted
him silently and waved him away. His
brain was painfully alert, his memory
singularly awake. It seemed that the in
cident of this hour had so opened up every
channel of his intelligence that all his
life ran past him in fantastic panorama,
as by that illumination which conies to
the drowning man. Ho seemed jinder
some strange spelL Once or twice ho
rose, rubbed his eyes and looked round
the room the room where, as a boy,
he had spent idle hours, where, as a
student, he had been in the hands of his
tutor, and as a young man had found
recreations such as belong to ambitious
and ardent youth. Every corner was fa
miliar. Nothing was changed. The
books upon the shelves were as they
were placed 20 years ago. And yet he
did not seem a part of it. It did not
seem natural to him. lie va3 in an at
mosphere of strangeness that atmos
phere which surrounds a man, as by a
cloud, when some crisis comes upon
him, and his life seems to stand still,
whirling upon its narrow base, while
the world appears' at an interminable
distance, even as to a deaf man who sec?,
yet cannot hear.
There came homo to him at that mo
ment, with a force indescribable," tho
shamelessncss- of tho act he committed
four years ago. He had thought to come
back to miserable humiliation. For
four years he had refused to do his duty
as a man toward an innocent woman, a
woman, though in part a savage, now
transformed into a gentle, noble creature
of delight and goodness. How had he
deserved it? He had sown tho storm; it
was but just that he should reap tho
whirlwind. He had scattered thistles;
could he expect to gather grapes? Ho
knew that the sympathy of all his fa
ther's house was not with him, but
with tho woman he had wronged. Ho
was glad it was so.
Looking back now, it seemed so poor
and paltry a - thing that he, a man,
should stoop to revenge himself upon
those who had given him birth as a
kind of insult to tho woman who had
lightly set him aside and should use for
that purpose a helpless confiding girL
To revenge one's self for wrong to one's
self is but a common passion, which has
littlo dignity; to avenge some one
whom one has loved, man or woman
and before all, woman has some touch
of nobility, is redeemed by loyalty. For
his act there was not ouo word of de
fense to be made, and ho was not pre
pared to make it.
The cigars and liquors were beside
him, but he did not touch them. He
seemed very far away from the ordinary
details of his life. He knew he had be
fore him hard travel, and he was not
confident of the end. He could not tell
how long he sat there. After a time tho
ticking of the clock seemed painfully
loud to him. Now and again ho heard
a cab rattling through the square, and
the foolish song of some drunken loiterer
in the night caused him to start pain
fully. Everything jarred on him. Once
he got up, went to tho window and
looked out The moon was shining full
on the square. He wondered if it would
be well for him to go out and find some
quiet to his nerves in walking. He did
so. Out in the square he looked up to
his wife's window. It was lighted.
Long timo he walked up and down, his
eyes on the window. It held him like a
charm. Once he leaned against the iron
railings of the garden and looked up,
not moving for a time. Presently he
saw the curtain of tho window raised,
and against the dim light of the room
was outlined the figure of his wife. Ho
knew it She stood for a moment look
ing out into the night She could not
see him, nor could ho see her features
at all plainly, but he knew that she,
like him, was alone with the catastropho
which his wickedness had sent upon
her. Soon the curtain was drawn down
again, and then he went once more to
the house and took his old scat beside
the table. He fell to brooding and at
last, exhausted, dropped into a troubled
sleep. -
He woke with a start Some one was
in the room. He heard a step behind
him. He came to his feet quickly, a
wlight in hi3 eyes. He faced hi3
brother Richard.
Late in tho afternoon Marion had
telegraphed to Richard that Frank was
coming. He had been away visiting
some poor and sick people, and when he
came back to Grey hope it was too late
to catch the train. Bet the horses were
harnessed straightway, and he was
