This was no unreasonable aspiration, and ser preference to .Mr. Sartoris was naturally j a bitter disappointment. When it wits an ' nounced that this favored American girl was to marry an Englishman a chill ran .hrough .he entire circle w ho enjoyed her companion ’ ihip. But, while the father was grieved, he Jirew no obstacles in tlie way of his daugli »r’s choice*, and Clio marriage took place.

It is no wonder that her coming has ; jiveu him new heart, and t here is much that is touching in the meeting of the great soldier : ind this child Hu may not have much onger to live, but. his last days will l*j •asier, for the light which went out of his i louse while he was the ruler of the nation , ia> rrtuiued to make his sick chamber cheor : tui and his last days happier.

Seharndiel and his wife came to this country three years ago, and coming west settled on a farm in the ’Barrens.” Bye singular co incidence, Fleischmann, coming over, went to the same vicinity and rented a farm.

Friends averted any fatality and Seharndiel started home. His harness be came broken and while repairing it Fleisch man came up and remarked laughingly: “You'd better buy new harness.” Scharn diel retorted sharply and rushing at Fleisch man with a large pruning knife cut a deep gash in his cheek. Fleischman seized a plow point and brought it down upon his assail ant’s head, crushing through the skull. The wounded man grappled with Fleischman and they fell, Seharndiel uppermost. While iu that position Seharndiel used his knife vig l orously, cutting Fleischman to pieces. Neighbors came along and found Fleisoh , man lying dead in the road aud Seharndiel near him with his skull crushed and brains oozing out, and yet in a semi-conscious con dition. Both bodies were taken to a farm house half a mile away, where Seharndiel lingered long enough to tell the story and ihon died. Mrs. Seharndiel is in a delicate condition and the news has not been told her yet, her friends fearing fatal consequences. Both men were in a prosperous condition. .Sc larndiel was a quiet man, yet one who ;o’-e an enemy was always a foe. Fleisch man was somewhat of a boaster aud it is said delighted to boast of his influence over the wife of his betrayed friend. MURDER WILL OUT.
