THE FUNERAL OF DIRK flAFFEBTY
The teaching" of childhood will in
some way cling to us. even after the
hard knocks of the world have left,
their marks in the white locks aud
altered carriage.
This thought, says the Douglas
News, was brought forcibly to" uilnd
iast week at the burying of Mary
Rafferty, the woman whose death
was mentioned in the News last Wed
nesday. It was Thursday afternoon
that a group of men folks gathered
at the door of the dcad-houso at St.
Ann hospital to attend the last sad
rites over the remains of this woman.
Without ceremony the coffin was
brought and deposited in John Stoft's
wagon, and the little procession start
ed on its way to the cemetery. Hands
strong and careful lowered the^e
malns Into the grave after this last
little journey, and then, for the first
time, came the realization that there
was something lacking. Neither
priest, prelate nor clerk was there to
read a verse or say a prayer. After
some parley, Jack McDonald was in
duced to assume the office. From
the past he brought forth a half-for
sotten prayer of childhood, and with
the murmured assistance of those
about him he ^tumbled through to
the end. Then a little party
ot grave faced men started to tramp
through the rain back to town, but
they were all better satisfied because
of that prayer.

"That revolver again ?" asked Mus
grave. with a laugh that did not cover
the Irritation that it was intended to
conceal. "It seems to me. Jeanne, that
you are always fooling with that mur
derous looking thing."
"Not always," was the grave re
sponse. "For whole weeks It lies In the
top drawer, Frank, hut once a month I
take It out and clean it that It may al
ways be ready and that I may not for
get, as though I over could." she added
wildly.
Musgravc shuddered, lie disliked the
sight of weapons, and there was some
thing sinister in the care with which
the girl kept the revolver always in
good condition.
It was no pearl handled toy such us
a woman might be supposed to carry,
but a blue barreled .45 that would
"stop" a mau with a single shot, the
sort of weapon that was meant for
men. <
It strui-k a Jarring note In the femi
ninity of Jeanne Barthon's personality.
It was absurd and yet repelling that
the dainty little artist should devote bo
much time to the care of the black
muzzled threat. All about were half
finished sketches, bits of French sea
coast. Ideal heads and fashion draw
ings in (Hid confusion, with a hand
some toilet over a dressmaker's form
In one corner.
Jeanne herself was essentially femi
nine, a tiny mile of a woman with a
coronet ^>f goldeu hair surmounting a
fragile face. She was scarcely live feet
tall, and the guu was oddly out of pro
portion.
Musgrave sank Into u chair from
which he swept the fashion uiaga
lines to the t1tx.tr and watched the girl
with gloomy face.
"Perhaps It will be as well to tell you
my secret. Frank." she said at length
I when the weapon had been oiled and
reassembled. "Then you will under
stand my care and also why I cannot
promise to marry you, dear. It Is best
that you should understand."
"I hare no wish to pry Into your
secrets." he demurred. "They cannot
be very important? except your reason '
for not wanting to marry me. You ad- ?
mlt that you are unmhrrled and fren j
and that you lov*? me. Those are the !
essentials."
"Unmarried yes," the girl breathed
tensely, "but free -no. It Is that '
1 would tell you, dear, so sit that I
may not -see the horror In your face, '
aud do ijot speak until I have finished. 1
Sit so." she added as she placed a
chair so that it stood directly before
her own. ?
"It Is the gun with which some day
1 uui to kill a man," she began, plung- j
lug Into the middle of her story. "Do
not stir until 1 say that you may. I
cannot talk If you Interrupt. It Is
hard enough to tell even so." i
"Then don't tell." urged the man.
"You never will kill a man. You are j
afraid even of the dark."
"Of the dark, yes," she admitted
softly, "but when the moment of re
?vengo comes I shall shoot to kill, with
never a thought of what will follow.
They may not kill me, but I will speud
years lu prison, and nil because I have
done the Justice thut men would not
do. That Is why I may not marry.
"I had u brnther once. He was all
ttiHt I had. Not even cousins had I.
and when my I'nul went to your Klon
dike 1 grieved and grieved, even
though he had promised that In one
year he would return with millions of
francs and 1 should enter the atelier
of the great artist with whom I would
study nnd become famous.
"For a year I had his letters. Theu
none came. I said that malls were not
regular In that far off land, and so I
waited almost another year. Then
With (he little money that I had I
sought him, for I knew that evil must
have befallen.
"I Journeyed ucross this great laud
to the frozen north, and there I learn
ed the worst, l'aul was dead? killed
by his friend, they said his friend
who could shoot him down for the lit
tie gold that he hud.
"They said It was all au accident.
Bah! Men who handle guus do not
have accidents. Is It reasonable to tell
that one Is killed by another by acci
dent? This mail said that he was
cleaning his revolver and that It went
off by Itself. They bad lot hiui go.
He had fled the scene. He came to
New York, they said, nnd he was a
lawyer.
"There was a little photograph of
him. That I brought with me. Of
course he would shave his beard, but
1 have made other sketches? you have
seeu them? with the face clean shaven
aud with the mustache. One uiark he
had a great scar across the cheek. It
Is his braud of Of. In. By It I shall
know him.
"Now 1 study urt no more. I draw
fashions because It pays, and when I
am Idle I haunt the ??? -ru. I look for
a lawyer with a groai scar, and when
I And him this gun shall speak."
Musgrave had rlseu from the chair,
id as she spoke she raised the re
volver nnd jM>Inted It at an Imaginary
foe. His turning disconcerted her, the
gun wavered, there was a report, and
the bullet seared Musgrave's arm.
With a cry of horror, the girl sprang
to his side.
"I have killed you!" she gasped.
"You, my dearest friend, I have shotl
It was not for you that the revolver
was meant. You were right. I* was
wrong to keep It. Oh. my dear!"
She soak sobbing beside him, en
fleavorlng to roll up tho sleeve and
ilancli (he blood that now trickled In
a tiny stream down his arm. Mus
grave pushed her from hliu.
"It wa& rljfbt!" he cried hoarsely.
"The shot hit the wan for whom It
was Intended, but you did not aim at
the heart. Was your brother Paul
DesplalneaJ"
"Thut was my mother's name," she
explained. "Paul took It so that when
he should return Desplalnes, the min
er, and ltartbou, the millionaire,
would not be the same. It was child
ish, but he was but a boy."
"It was common to use other names,"
said Mnsgrave harshly. "I* was Jack
Joyce up there."
"Yon!" The girl recoiled and half
turned to where the revolver lay upon
the floor. The studio building was al
most deserted, and the sound of the
report had brought no luqulry.
"I am the man who shot your broth
er," continued Musgrave. "It was an
accident. I was cleaning my gun
while Paul lay In his bunk. I did not
see that one cartridge was left In the
chamber. 1 snapped the hammer to
see If It was limbered up uud? It hap
pened."
Overcome by the horror of the recol
lectlun, Musk rave burled his face In
his arms for u moment while the girl
stood silently by. ller face was ghast
ly white, the Hue# drawn and tense,
and In the blue eyes was horror un
speakable.
"It was an accident," ^ent on Mus
grave after h moment. "The boys un
derstood and let me go. I left the
country and came back to New York.
I had never liked the law. To escape
that profession I went to Alaska. I
could draw rather well, and I came
back at a time when the northern nov
els were (lrst coming out and men who
could draw Alaskan scenes were In
demand.
"I made a succt'ss and spent my
money looking for Jeanue Desplalnes.
There Is money In the bauk that 1
have kept until 1 could And her, the
money thut Paul had helped me earn.
1 never dreamed that you were she,
you are so unlike Paul.
"That picture you have with the scar
Is misleading. The scar Is the result of
a photographic error, a defect In the
glass. I had some made because the
effect was so odd. That Is why you
did not know me. You looked for the
war. You will not bell ox o that It was
an accident. You Just said so. Shoot
If you will. Take n life for the life I
robbed you of."
He rose unsteadily to his feet, stoop
ed and raised the revolver from the
floor, hnndlng It to the silent girl.
"Perhaps It would be bettor If I did
It myself," he said bitterly as she made
no move to take the proffered weapon.
"It will relieve you of all consequences.
I will welcome death slnre now I know
that my love Is hopeless. I will go to
my own studio."
Unsteadily he staggered toward the
door. The girl watched u^il his liaud
groped for the knob, then, with a sud
den revulsion of feeling, she rushed
toward him. . .
"You shall uut: l ou shall not:" sue
cried passionately. "It was a mistake,
Frank. 1 know now, for did I not
shooi you by accident? It was only the
good God who turned the bullet aside
because he had sent you to make me
happy. It was a lesson to me, who had
disputed the wisdom of God. It was nn
accident, dearest, and now that I know
that the thought of vengeance and?
and prison no longer stand between"?
"You will marry me after what I
have told you?" he cried In wonder.
"Ood Is good," she said reverently.
"He has taken my brother from me,
but be has seut you In place of Paul,"
and she suffered him to draw her with
in the circle of his arms.
Change of Climate Helped.
Some time ago the Virginia state line
was altered so as to Include a patch of
territory heretofore belonging to North
Carolina.
A section of the land thus transfer
red Included a tumbledown cabin
where dwelt an aged negro woman.
An Inquisitive neighbor, calling to
see how the negress enjoyed the Idea
of becoiniug a Virginian In her old
age, began the conversation by asking:
"How Is the rheumatism, auntie?"
"Bettah, praise de Lawd!" was the
reply.
"And the neuralgia?"
"All goue. Clean depa'ted!"
"And the stiff knee?"
"Frisky as a 11' colt!"
"Why, auntie, how on earth do you
happen to be so much better all of a
sudden ?"
"Well, miss," replied the auntie
proudly. "Ah always done lieab dat
Virginity climate's a heap healthlah'n
de climate of No'tli Ca'llna. Ah reck
on dat sho' 'counts fo' ma change fo*
de bettah."? Detroit Free Press.
When Bees Beat Troops.
It Is 011 record that a swarm of bees
as weapons of war were used not once,
but twice, and with the best possible
effect. When Themlseyra, In Pontus,
was besieged by Lucullus^the Romans
employed turrets, built mounds and
made huge mines beneath the city.
While they were creating the mines
the people of Themlseyra dug down
through the earth to the mines and
fast In upon the Homun workers bears
and other wild nnlmals, together with
a swarm of bees. History repeated it
self In England when the Danes and
Norwegians mado their nttack upon
Qbester about ten centuries since. The
town was held by the Saxons and some
Gallic allies, who tried stones and boil
ing water upon the besiegers without
effect. As n last resource they collect
ed all the beehives and upset them Into
the enemy's camp beneath the city
wall. This had the effect of making
things "hum," so to speak, and It Is re
corded that the enemy were so badly
jtuug that they could move neither
arms nor legs, 1
