the service of S|>otem k Co., one
of the beat known detective firm*
in the West. Even so long ago
at that I had achieved more than
ordinary fame as a railioad de

received liy the firm from the
General Manager of the Missouri
River llroad Gtiage Railway re
questing the services of a “live'’
man. 1 was not at all surprised
that Mr. John Spotcm should in
struct me to prejiare at once to
undertake this es|ici'tal business.
That afternoon I was aboard
the train, on my way from Chica

reported at railroad headquarters.

direction. When a man is (oiled
in the main object, for the time
being, of his life is bad enough;
hnt when he is also in lore it goes
rather hardly with him. I was
greatly worried and hardly knew
what course to pursue.
Miss Avery, my operator, no
ticed my anxiety and was very
kind to me—relieving me uf all
the work which she could under
take, such as letter writing, etc.
Apart from onr duties she was
also very pleasant. She seemed
so well pleased to spend much of
her time “off duty’’ in my com
pany that I Ix-gan to think my
“love affair" would come out all
right yet.
One day when I bad been at
Prairie Flower altout a month, as
I sal at my desk, writing, I heard
“We are being robbed right the click-click of the tclrgraph in
along, Mr. Sharpe,” said he, “by strument. 1 had said that I was
covered with her pistol. Then,
quick as lightning, she opened
the door, slipped out and turned 1
the key on the outside. I rushed
from my seat and tried to force
the door, but it would not give
way to my repeated efforts, ami I
was comiH.-lled to make my escape
through a window.
It was late in the full, and dark
ness had already settled over
everything, so my smart and
pretty operator and erstwhile
sweetheart escaped.
The roblieries on the Missouri
River Broad Gtiage came to an 1

pride, I never caught the culprits, j
and I am afraid I never told the
whole truth of the sudden disap- j

Seven years later business took I

Oar Cartersville Letter.
Editor* Enterprise «t Appeal:
It has been so long since I wrote
my last letter, tiiat I have thought
1 had better write again, or you
would conclude that I did not
work enough to pay for my copy
of the paper.
I reckon I can begin with the
crops, as that is always in order.
An overwhelming crop of corn is
now assured. Cotlou is unusual
ly promising. The wheat crop,
though small, was good, while the
oat crop was only moderate. The
crop of clover is not so large as il
was last year.
It has been raining for several
days, and farmers are anxious for
sunshine for the cotton. I have
just read the accnnnt in the Coe
stitnlion of the hard rain in and
around Culhberl, and sympathize
with the tanners in the damage
done their crops.
Notwithstanding a considcra
l.le amount of sickness in Carlcrs-
ville this year, my own family has
been greatly blessed with good
health. My work is still pros|>er-
oiis—congregations large, Sunday
school alive, and prayer meetings
well attended.

I set eyes upon. She was, |ier-
haps, twenty two or three rears of
age, was of medium aize. well-
educated, ami smart, and looked
as strong and hearty as she was
pretty.
In forty eight hours I was des

other forty eight hours I bad
made a fool of myself (even de
tectives, being men, occasionally
act the fool), offered her my hand
and heart, and waa refused;
though that fact did not aerions
ly discourage me.
Meanwhile the robbers were
playing fast and loose with me,
as well as with the company's
property’. I was vexed, because
I bad hoped to “nail” the culprits
ia a much shorter time than had
already elapsed since I undertook
the task. I even began to sus
pect my own especial assistants of
being unfaithful; for just as sure
as I received a message from one
of them, giving information of an
expected raid at a certain point,
cannot communicate. During
those two hours I propose to cover
you with my gun, and if in that
time you move your hands toward
the “ticker” or your pockets, or

Writing of Cedartown, reminds
inetlial while there I met Miss
Lula Hurst—that used to he—
now Mrs. i’n»l Atkinson, of Chat
tanooga. Her father is a deacon
of the church at Cedartown, ami j
indeed Miss Lula still retains her
membership there.
When Miss Lula was in Cutli-
hert displaying her wonderful
“force," she presented the ap|>car
ance of a young, country girl, and
not at all prepossessing in her
looks. I was surprised at the
change that Has taken place in
the last few years. Now, she is
decidedly handsome, so much so
as to attract general attention.
And she is very pleasant loo, j
white L-er experience in travel and |
course in college have made her i
as entertaining a companion as
one often meets. She is much
beloved about Cedartown, and
generally spoken of as an earnest
Christian woman.
All of onr churches here in
Cartersville have had very good
meetings this year. The last
meeting was held at the Presby
terian church, and was conducted
by Dr. Bacliman who preached
some time since in a meeting in
Cuthbert. During this meeting a
circumstance occurred which I I
reckon is rather unusual. The:
preacher was quite anxious to get
to preach to the men of the town,;
but was afraid to risk Sunday af- 1
ternoon, as llie afternoons at that
lime were cither too rainy or too;
hot, so with the consent of the:
other pastors he announced that
lie would preach to men only at
11 o’clock Sunday morning. Not
wishing to be without a congrcga
lion myself, I immediately an
nounced that I would preach a
sermon specially for “women,”
and Bro. Timmons, after ruminat
ing fur a few minutes as to where
liis crowd was to come from, an
nounccd that lie would preach to
the children. And so we had it.
I had before me at a safe estimate
350 women, and for once in my
life had to address all my re
marks to the sisters instead of
the brethren, though they do tell
it that once or twice I said “breth
ren” anyhow. I am impressed
with the feeling that these mtsl-
ings all did good, and now they
are often very tenderly s|H>kcn of
by those who attended them.
The next “big” thing for Car-
tcrsville will lie the “Tabernacle
Meeting,” which is to commence'
on the 9th of September. The
Tabernacle will scat about 4,200
people, and it will be paeked full
several limes if the weather is
good. A great attraction of tiiese
meetings is the singing. Prof.
Excell is a fine solo singer, and
Prof. Maxwell is a good choir or
ganizer and leader, and both will
be here. The “rostrum'' is fitted
up to hold about 200 people and
last year this space was taken up
hy members of the choir, saving
wbat little was occupied by the
preachers. The railroad gives
half rates, and the crowds will
come—some from curiosity—some
to meet their frieuds—some for a
holiday—and I hop* some, from
each class will get some good out
of it.
Cartersville has at this lime

Somethin;; About Jay Roald.
Jay Gould owes much of his
success in life to economy and
neuralgia, lie also loves to rs
lieve distress on Wall Street anil
is so passionately fond of this
us lie grows older that he has
been known to distress other
slock men just for the pluasanl
thrill it gave him to relieve them.
Jay Gould is also a living illus
tration of what a young man
may do with nothing hut his bare
hands in America. John L. Mil-
livan and Gould are both that
way. Mr. Gould and Colonel
Sullivan could go into Siberia to
morrow—little as they are known
there—and with a small Gordon
press a quire of bond pajicr and a
pair of three penny weight gloves
they would soon own Siberia with
a right of way across the rest ol
Europe and a first mortgage on
the Russian throne. As fast as
Colonel Sullivan knocked out a
dynasty Jay could come in and
administer on the estate. This
would lie a powerful combination.
It would afford us an opportunity
also to get some of those Russian
bay fever names aud chilblains by
red message. 31 r. Gould would
grt a good deal of money out of
llie transaction and Sullivan would
get ozone.—Kill Sye.

Sum Jones’ Last Allegory.
“You have heard the naked ex
pression, ‘The naked trulli,’ and
perhaps you don't know how it
originated,” said the Rev. Sam
Jones in his Red Rock sermon
yesterday. “I will tell you. Once
upon a time truth and error went
in bathing together. Error came
out first and put on truth's
clothes and ran away. And error
lias liecn trying to wear truth's
clothing ever since. When truth
came out of the water the only
clothing it could find to put on
was wliat belonged to error. ‘Be
fore I will wear such garments as
these.’ said truth, ‘I will go naked
all my life.’ Truth has kept its
word, anil goes through the world
naked, without frill or hang nr
hustle or anything else.”—St.
Paul Globe.

Smuke aud the Weather.
How often wc hear the remark.
■We shall have raiu; tile alums
plicrc is so heavy.’ The reverse
is true. When one sees the smoke
hanging from a chimney, with a
tendency to sink to the ground,
il indicates that the atmosphere
is light—in fact, too light to float
the smoke. When the smoke ris
es from the chimney it indicates
a heavy atmosphere. A column
of smoke is not a bad barometer,
for a barometer is nothing more
III an a recorder of the pressure
of the atmosphere. When the
atmosphere is light and the smoke
settles the pressure on the mercu
ry is light and the columns falls,
indicating storm. When the at
mosphere is heavy and the smoke
rises the pressure is greater and
the column rises, indicating fair
weather.—Ch iettgo Hera Id.
A confederate veteran related
in Amcricus. Go., a strange coin
cidence that attended the death
of Captain Wynn, a gallant Geor
gian, who was killed at Gettys-
berg. The Captain had frequent
ly boasted tlmt “the bullet was
not molded that was to lay him
low,” but on the day of the fight
liis wife was startled to sec the
oil portrait uf her husband fall
with a crash to the floor from the
wall on which il hung in the par
lor. Singulary enough, the only
damage done to the picture was in
the shape of a small hide which
was punctured through the fore
head by a chair foot the painting
struck in its fall. Two days later
news came from the Geld that the
Captain had been killed with a
rifle bullet which struck him in
the forehead.
A sad scene occurred in New
York in the cell of Mrs. Cignaralc,
the condemned murderess, who is
to lie hanged on the 22nd of July.
3fayor Hewelt allowed her little
child, Rosa, to visit her in the
prison. 3frs. Cignaralc clasped
her darling to her heart, calling
her all the pet jinnies her imagi
nation could supply, while the
little one wound her arms around
her mother’s neck and wept tears
of joy. Little Rosa sat with her
head in her mother’s lap for al
most two hours and then the
child was taken back to the in
stitution by two Sisters of Mercy,
in whose custody she came.

We acre struck recently by the
remarks of a doctor friend of ours
who said no one thing will do so
much to make people indejicndenl
of the medical profession as daily
free use of fruit. He had noticed
that those fanners in whose fami
lies fruit was regularly and large
ly consumed seldom n cede I liis
services. We thought what a
pity that every farmer in the land
could not be convinced of- these
truths. Il is a deplorable fact
that farmer's families do not en
joy the robust health that coun
try air and out door life, with
plenty of exercise, should give.

Idleness is the hotbed of temp

waster of time, the canker worm

will have no novelty; and when
novelty is laid in the grave, the
funeral of comfort will soon follow.
