Editor Douglass Gtessuer,' of
Griffin, recently spent a while at
Indian Spring, and in a very in
teresting article in his paper, has
the following item of somewhat
local interest:
“It is a proverb that a GrifEnite
can not go away from home with
out running across a Griffin negro,
generally a waiter at a hotel, res
taurant or bar-room. The near
est I have come to it so far is the
waiter at my table, John Jackson,
who is from Barnesville but mar
ried a Griffin colored lady in At
lanta. He is a delicate dude,
whose constitution, he avers, will
not permit him to do any hard
w>..rk, and so he is looking for an
easy place when the hotel closes.
I have secured his zealous eorvice
by promising him the job of turn
ing the News and Sun presß.
SIOO REWARD. SIOO.
The readers of this paper will be
p]eas-d to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direc
tly upon the blood and mucous sufaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in is curative powers,
that they offer one. Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure. Bend

Equal Partners.
(Continued from Sixth Page.)
“ilie gentleman in question had no
soul.” said Elsie. “I think he will he
spared all punishment hereafter, as the
hrutes are. Let ur proceed. Brenda,
dear The remainder of the story Is
not long. We took the 11 o'clock train
and reached Philadelphia In time for
luncheon. Our marriage ‘was to l>e
k<;pt secret for awhile, ami there seem
ed to be some slight objection to the
public dining room of the hotel where
our hansom set us down. However,
we lunched there- quite hastily, for I
had no apiK-tlte. Then we re-entered
the hansom and went to look for a min
ister. We had remarkable difficulty In
finding one, considering that Philadel
phia is a large city full of churches, but
we tinally succeeded. Then It appeared
that we had neglected to comply with
certain formalities, but the clergyman
was able to rectify the matter, and so
we were married pitifully, its l sec It
now. with stupid old servants and a
chance laborer who banneued to be at
wort in toe House as our witnesses.
“When we got back to the hotel, it
was H o’clock, and I was nearly fam
ished. We hurried right into the din
ing room, and my husband ordered a
great spread, with champagne, for our
miserable celebration, and now I will
tell y#u the unromantlc part. In the
midst of that dinner, and while I fan
cled that I tvas eating with a splendid
appetite. 1 was suddeuiy seized with
the most awml pain that ever devas
tated my poor little stomach. Yes,
Brenda, It was a regular, terrible
stomach ache—Just pain, without a bit
of uausea. I felt as if someone had
my stomach in his band—a baud about
the size of Captain Neale's—and was
crushing it to pieces.
"My husband said .he guessed It
would soon pass away, but It didn’t,
and so he left his dinner and ran out
to a drug store to get me something to
take. When he came back. I took It,
and 1 didn't feel any worse, because
that wasn’t possible, but I certainly
felt no better. In a few minutes I be
gan to realize that I was going out of
my wits. I talked Insanely and saw
things that weren’t there. The next
thing I knew we were riding up In an
elevator, and It seemed to go up far a
week. Then there was a woman lead
ing me along a hall and into a room,
and she began to take off my clothes In
the bedroom ef a little suit. 1 stared
at her and asked her wiio she was.
•"I’m the assistant housekeeper,’ she
said- 'I belong to the hotel.’
“As If she had been a piece of furni
ture. Theu 1 asked where my hus
band was, and she sold be bad gone
out for a doctor. So she made me He
down. Probably I seemed to be there
on that bed, but In reality—my own
reality—l was playing In that old barn
storming company and studying,
studying, studying on long parts that
were always changing, but sometimes
1 was a little girl again In a town way
out iu Michigan, running through the
streets, with my long legs flying and
my heels touchtug tbe back of my
head, as my mother used to ay. I
stole the neighbors’ flowers In tbe
scented June eveulngs and staid out
under tbe little whispering stars till
my mother came, weeping with anx
iety, to bring me borne. And, strange
ly enough, right In tbe midst of It all
there stood the doctor, a tall, gaunt
young man. asking me how 1 felt.
But where was my husband?
•* ‘He bas not got back,’ said tbe wo
man. 'I was afraid to wait any lon
geattzu l got this gentleman, who is a
New York doctor stopping in the
hotel.’
“Then 1 felt something sharp prick
ing my arm and afterward the pain
was easier, and my mind suddenly be
came as clear as it Is now. 1 heard
the doctor say that 1 would be all
right when 1 had had some sleep, and
then my husband appeared, looking In
between the curtains that hung by the
bedroom door. It seems that be bad
not brought a doctor, but had left
word for one to come,
“My husband remained there, be
tween the curtains, perfectly rigid,
staring, pale as a ghost. He was look-

mg at the doctor beside my bed. and
glancing up 1 saw that the doctor was
stat ing at him.
" *You" said the doctor, and be took
three strides out of the room, my bus
baud booking away us the other ad
vanced.
“They whispered together; they
.thought 1 could not hoar. But. Brenda,
l would have beard them if they bad
been in New York
-Site says you were married this
afternoon.’ said the doctor. ’How is
that?’
" ’Who iu the devil’s name called you
inf demanded my husband. Where
did you come from?’
“ ’This is state prisou business,’
said the .doctor*, without minding the
questions. ‘You are itgaiiy
separated from your wife, but you are
uot divorced, and you never will be by
your own consent, for her father is
paying you to behave yourself.'
“ ‘There has been no marriage here,’
said my husband. ‘Don’t sny any
thing. This Is a mere freak of mine.
I’ll make It right with you if you’ll
keep quiet/
‘‘‘You lie,’ said the doctor, and then,
‘Am I too late to save her?’
“My husband answered‘Yes.’ Brenda,
bow is it possible for a human being
to utter a falsehood like that? I was
no more to him than you are except
that I had promised before God to be
his wife. And the doctor looked him
In the eyes a moment and then struck
him across the face with the back of
ms open nano ana went out or me
room.
“My .husband came to the curtains
and looked m; then he approached tbe
bed, and I groaned as loud as 1 could.
At that he seemed to lose his wits. He
ran around the room aimlessly and at
last snatched his hat from the floor
and rushed out. 1 suppose he was go
ing for another doctor.
“When he was gone. 1 invented an
errand and sent the woman away. TbeD
1 got up and dressed. 1 don’t know
how It was possible for me to do It,
but I seemed to be as light us a feath
er. 1 got ont of the hotel easily enough
aud took a cab to the railroad statiou.
I hod not money enough for a sleeper,
so I rode in a day coach all the way to
New York, but niy mind was In a
thousand places, and some of them
were beautiful, and I was happy there,
and again I was in terror and pain.
‘‘When I left the train at Jersey City,
my head was bursting upon my shoul
ders and tbe air was fire. Honestly,
Brenda, when the ferryboat ran into
the slip on this side, I thought it was
the mouth of the infernal regions. It
looked like a great cave full of flames
aud it soeqigd that I was being crushed
aud thrust Into it. Yet I must have
had some part of my senses, for 1
found a cab and gave the driver my
address. AruLjiO I came home from
my wedding V-mey, Brenda. I let
myself In withTly key. and the people
In tbe house never knew that 1 had
been away that night. They found
me 111 and got a doctor for me, and be
fore the day was over I was nearly
well. The doctor said I must have eat
en some sort of a thing—what do they
call It—l always think of tomatoes.”
“Ptomaines,” said Brenda. “Oh. you
poor child: you poor, wretched, lucky
little Elsie! I am so glad, so glad!”
“Would you believe,” said Elsie,
“that that wan tried to get my heart
back again, to plead bis cause with me?
Well, he did, and, though I bad peace
for quite a long time, of late I have
been much annoyed by him. You can
understand now why Clarence Aldeu’s
love was torture to me, why well,
why I bought the picture of Tantalus
to look at, Brenda. Oh. I love him. 1
love him so much! The feast of the
heart that 1 can never have! He is
everything I want. Brenda.”
“But why in the name of all martyr
dom should you hesitate to tell this sto
ry to him?” exclaimed Brenda. “Wbat
bar can It be to your marriage?”
“One day,” said Elsie slowly, “when
I was beginning to love Clarence so
that my heart sang of him all tbe time.
I was walking on Broadway and had
stopped to look in at a jeweler’s win
dow. And I glanced up. and Clarence
was coming down the street with that
doctor!”
“The one who attended you in Phil
adelphia?”
“Yes,” said Elsie. “They were laugh
ing and talking together, and 1 shrank
Into a doorway and died of shame as
they passed. Suppose they had seen
me?”
“I thiuk no harm would have come of
It," said Brenda.
“Suppose 1 married Clarence and we
should meet him then?”
“But, my dear,” exclaimed Brenda,
“take the wildest possible supposition.
Say that this doctor believed the worst
and told It to Clarence and lived to
finish the story, which unless he is
Samson reincarnated is not possible. It
would make no difference. Unless Clar
ence can believe you absolutely against
every other voice in the world, you
don’t want to marry him anyway.”
"You don’t know men,” said Elsie,
shaking her head. "One little doubt,
aud there is misery for a lifetime. I
heard Clarence speak once of a woman
who had goue wrong. It frightened tuy
hones until they turned to dust iu my
bedv.”
