Relations of fact more strange than figment of fiction have followed the sudden death of Melville H. Couch, for 15 years District Attorney of Sul livan County and former partner of Alton B. Parker. In the custody of the police is a strange, frightened woman who lived for 15 years in the seclusion of a bare little room that opened from Mr. Couch's office. The door that led from the office to the living quarters of this strange bond servant was al ways locked and no one save Couch and his queer companion passed through it. Within a few feet from the busy office with its daily stream of clients the woman huddled in silence through out the day. Occasionally at night she stole forth and roamed through the streets. Although Mrs. Couch was a fre quent visitor at the office of her hus band, she never suspected what the secret room contained. During the excitement attending the discovery of Couch's body on a lounge in the room some one climbed upon a chnir and peered through ahe tran som into the secret room. There he saw a woman huddled upon the floor beside a plain iron bed. Her clothing was poor and ill-fitting, her face was that of a drug user or one who lives in solitude, and ber disheveled hair was steaked with gray. Sheriff Kinney bad the door open ed and the woman walked into the office where Couch's body was lying. "I am Josephine Brance," she stam mered and 11 then broke into hysterical weeping. Although the authorities are certain that Couch died a natural death, they detained the woman to learn the se cret of her strange relationship with the lawyer. Mrs. Couch who was present when the secret door was opened, fainted at the sight of the woman who emerg ed. Sheriff Kinney and other officials were startled at the uncanny devel opments. After Mrs. Brance had been quieted and aeaured that no harm would come to her, the said: "I came out of the room at 6 o' clock this morning to wake Mr. Couch, who often slept in his office. As soon tis I saw his face I knew he was dead. 1 knew that Dr. J. A. Curlette was his brother-in-law and I telephoned to him to come at once." BMr Brance said she came from Goshen, N. V., and met Couch 15 years ago. The affair has caused a tremendous sensation. Society BELLS OP YULE. The Christmas Eve fell clear and cool And merrily chimed the Bells o' Yule: "Peace O peace! Good Will! Good cheer! Ah, how the tones rang full and dear. For Christmas Eve brought the Peace King's rule; Aad royal bell were the Bells o' Yule. "Love 0 Lovel Good will to men!" Rang the gtadstone notes o'er brake and fen And the starlight whispered to dim , pling pool, "List ye now to the Bells o' Yule!" The mountains called to the billowed V sea, "Oh, hear the Yule Bells wild and free!" Aad earth was filled with heavenly notes Pouring forth from the Yule Bells' silvery throats. "Hark! What is that?" said a king to his fool Who sat at his feet oa the Jester's stool. "Ah, sire, they're the bells a' the King ' Kings, And the stars all dance when his music rings." I And the king said: "Ring me the pal ace bells To honor the realm where the Christ King dwells." So they rang them wild and they rang them long Till the winter's eve o'erflowed with song. ! Then the plague that hastened to smite the land Vanished at the touch of a hidden hand. And the smile of the Peace-King, pass ing gold, Fell far and wide o'er croft and wold. And the king e'en yet is called "the Good" Who heard the bells and understood. For long he ruled in a prospered land; And even the belta rang at his com mand: "Peace O Peace! Good will! Good cheer!" Pealed the Yule Bells full and clear. John Jordan Douglass. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Hendren, of Winston Salem arrived in the city last aight from Winston Salem to spend the holidays with Sir.
