author.

poems in tae bunny South written by

could read tueso poems; they want to do
better. 1 don’t know whim I like beet of
these prams, but “The Years” made a
wonderful impresiion upon me. I will
quote the flftn verse, as it Impressed me
most.
“As thought on thought grows Into volumes
wise.
Or ston > by stone the mighty dome appears;
As sanu by suml the bounuiets desert lies,
The ocesu drop by drop—so year ou yean,
Like layers, rising loftyaud sublime.
Form at last grand pyramids of time.”
Did you ever think, dear o mains, that
the acts of onr lives were rising, layer by
layer, Into pyramids of good or bad, just
as we build teem? If these layers were
all firm and good, what sublime monu
ments these pyramids would be of onr
lives after we are gone. A host of thoughts
are coming up for utterance hare, hut I
will desist, for fear Auut Judy wlu say I

the book “Caleb Williams.” It was print

like his novel, is known to but few.
It is sad to think, however, that in the
romances of real life the ;>art often played
by women is a tragic one. Perhaps it is
because ns the song has it.
She did not make the least objection
when the idol of her heart proposed, or set
her feet toward the downward way. Or
perhaps the man was not at fault at all.
At any rate, here are the records of some
mysterious cases in each of which the chief
sufferer has been a woman.
One day in the latter part of September,
Richard L. Mabrey, of Doniphan, Mo., reg
istered at Hurst’s hotel in St. Louis. He
was engaged to Miss Effie Morgan, of
Rolla, Mo., and his visit to the city by the
big bridge was for the purpose of securing
a fashionably made dress suit in which to
be married.
The wedding was to have taken place on
a Wednesday. The night before Mabrey
received a box containing his suit, entered
the elevator and went to his room. When
he closed the door to his apartment he
passed from view of all who knew him.
No one saw him leave the hotel, but the
next day lie was missing. He didn’t ap
pear at Rolla, lie didn’t reach home and no
trace of his whereabouts could be obtained.
Large rewards were offered, and the police
went to work.
Vurious were the suggestions of the de
tectives. Accustomed to regard most men
ns fools or knaves, they got up theories
based on the propositions “drunk,” “tak-

ing in the town” and “run away with a
woman.” They figured the last idea down
to what they considered a solution, and
boldly gave out the name of the female with
whom Mabrey had eloped. They said she
occupied oe room next the missing man’s
m tub Motet, that slit- ’left at the sa.ne tlu.a
he did, and that she lived in a southern
Illinois town.
A vigorous protest followed.
The Illinois girl wrote a liery letter from
her home, scorching the people who had
trilled with ht-r good name and denying
any knowledge of Mabrey. Then the de
tectives tapped their think tanks again.
Indeed, they are still tapping, for at last
advires they hadn’t found the Doniphan
man, and the maiden at Rolla remains dis
consolate.
Another missing bridegroom is Frank
ManteulTi I, who was to have led to the
altar Miss Annie Wilson, of Alameda, Cal.
He vai . bed as completely as a fog before
the rising sun. He had a good reputation,
plenty of money and fine prospects, so bis
personal friends and the friends of the girl
who was to have been bis wife hardly know
what to make of the affair.
The doubt in which those interested re
main ts well expressed by a younger sister
of Miss Wilson. “Frank Manteuffel,” said
she, “always spoke very bard of people
who acted scandalously in any way and
were brought before the public through
the papers. It was not- so very long ago
that ho called our attention to a case not
unlike this one, and explained with an em
phasis that, struck me at the time as abso
lutely fierce, ‘That fellow ought to bo
killed fortreatingthatyounggirl so.’ And
now ho lias gone and done the very same
thing. Well, I can hardly think he baa
ran away. Something, sure, has happened
to him, and it will all be cleared up sooner

case of pretty Katie Hart, a lO year-old
sou lire t to who bad gained some fame on
the stage. One afternoon not long ago
she visited without demur a minor hotel
in New Yi rk eity, accompanied by the prize
fighter Jack MeAuliffe. The couple went
to a room. When Katie left it a few hours
later it was as a corpse. For a while dark
suspicious of murder prevailed, but an
autopsy showed that she had died of heart
disease.
* The pugilist promptly asserted that she
was bis wife and that they had been mar

poor girl received all mortuary honors,and
the coffin containing her remains was low
