Owing to illaheelth he did not practise hie profession bete, but retired to Strathroy, in letiddleeex county, to the hewn of hie einem Mrs. Frank Saxton, who pint live at that place. He remained there for two years. At the expiration of that tirne hie physicians etivised a change of climate, and the young barrister removed to the Pacific Coast in April, 1885, and opened a law office in Lo 8 Angelo. MS health noon began to improve, and before he had been there a year he WAS enjoy- ing excellent health and a luorative practice. In /lay, 1888, a family named .flaynes, from lehiladelphia, arrived in the city. ttir. Hardie beoanae acquainted with the Hayneees, and they engaged him to hanclie all their law affairs. In that way Mr. Hardie very soon became friendly , with eaoh member of the Haenea family, but raore espeoially with the younger daughter, Florence, to whom he was subsequeutly merried in Februery, 1889. At that eime the only relatives Mr. Hardie had were one brother, who is the principal of a Methodist oollege at Tokio, Japan, and one sister, Mrs. Frank Saxton. At her brother's request Mrs. Saxton wellto Loa A.nnelee to be present at the we ing.

Mrs, Saxton says that it ap- peared to her that the whole ceremony was being gonducted under a cloud and with a feet- of attracting attention. SZRANOB TBEATHENT. Mrs. Sexton remained with the Hayneses after the wedding. The family treated her with courtesy until a few days after Mr. Hardie and his bride departed, when a letter vses received from Florenoe. After that she thought their attitude completely changed, and she was treated in a cold, indifferent manner. She states that she was not permitted to meet a family named Brydges from London, Ont., only a few miles frorn her own home, but for what reaeon she could not conceive. Her brother and sister-M.1mm returned home from their honeymoon and took up quarters in the same house with the Hayne e family. She perceived that the couple were far from happy. Soon after this she deoided to return to Canada. After her arrival at Strathroy Mrs. Saxton and her brother oorresponded frequently, and in one of his letters he intimated that his wife was not extremely happy, and that hie brother -in. law, Frank Haynes, was "A CUNNING AND DEEP MAN." s on 3ort yore ay, ars. rat% :hag loge Oes ion iful ere? iia• the rk. ago ore. al Le eld, er'a l he hat nee 30, iers rm illy m- -es nd nd. led , of rt. r ey ,tell Id, of -et ,us ey ed • ,t d go - to o• e. ,x6 he o eg . g re- -131, ,n le • For a year after this Mr. Hardie, his wife and her 'family continued to live in the same house. In April last Mrs. Saxton %rote to her brother, saying that her fem- I? affairs were unpleasant, and that she thought she would have to accept his offer and go and live with him. He received the letter, glanced it over, and thrusting it into a drawer proceeded to the court house on professionel bneiness. When he returned he went to the drawer for the letter and found it had disappeared. About May 18th Mra. Saxton received a reply to her letter, dated Tombstone, Ariz. Mr. Hardie said that he gone there unexpectedly and only at the urgent solicitation ot his brother-in-law, Dr. Frank Haynes, who was ill. He also said that the doctor had agreed to defray all of the expenses and give him a good time. He said that he could hardly under- stand why the doctor should want bis coin - pang, as they never had very much affection for Each other. He intimated in this letter that he was tolerably well off. BAD NEWS. The next communication that Mrs. Saxton received was a telegram on the evening of May 26th, which read as follows: "Robert died suddenly." The deepatoh was from Tombstone, Ariz., and signed Frank Haynes. Three days after the faneral Dr. Wm. Haynes wrote a long letter to Mrs. Saxton, giving details of her brother's death. The aceount of the murder of Mr. Herdie, almost an exeot 'copy of which appeared in he Los Angeles Express, stated that Dr. Frank Haynes and Mr. Hardie were the guests of Col. Gray, near Rocker's Canyon, and regularly every day went out for horse- back exercise. THE DOCT.MCS ST,M1Y.. On the 24th day of May, about 3.30 in the afternoon, they were riding quietly along, Mr. Hardie about ten feet in the lead, when suddenly a volley of shots were fired, apparently from a clamp of thickets about ten feet away. Mr. Hardie fell from his horse with a groan Dr. Haynes dis- mounted and embed to him, but found him dead. Then he realized that it muet be ambushed melanins. If accidental it fuld only have been one abet. He leaped trn to his horse and immediately a bullet Amick the anina$1, killing it under him. He then took to his heels and ran, running zig- zag to enape the shots that were fired after him. He looked back and saw an Indian dressed in beada and war paint within 50 feet of hind and taking aim. He dodged into a thicket, the bullet whizzing past his ear. Terror lent new strength to his lege. He rushed on and saw Mr. Hardie's horse on the trail in front of him. He caught it and made as small a target of himself as he could, and rode home to Col. Gray's ranch to tell of his nerrow escape and thrilliug adventure. SDEETNCI nermientems. Mrs. (Dr.) Moorehouse, of London, Ont., a friend of Mrs. Saxton, wrote to Mr. A. A. Banning, formerly of Newberry, Ont., now living at Tombstone, Adz., for the faot 10 conneotion with the post nmetera examinetion. His reply was that Dr. Goodfellow, an intimate friend of Dr. Frank Haynes, had held the poet mortem exemidation and would Mend full particu- lars to Mrs. Saxton. A letter was received from Dr. Gitodfellow, but the examinetion WAS not mentioned because she had pre- sumed to inquire about the way her brother met his death.

Mixed Marriage& Semaine Beligieuse, of Quebec, pub- lishes the following in regard to mixed marriages : It is ascertained that mixed marriages— that is marriage° between Catholics and Protestants --have deplorable consequenoes almost everywhere. At the time of mar- riage the Protestant husband or wife prom• ises all that is demanded by the church, namely, the Catholio eduoation of their children. Bat these promises are hardly ever kept. Either through negligence or bad faith on the part of the parties, these mixed marriages generally end in the Protestant eduoation of the young Such examples are not scarce even in our own country. There is but one remedy to the danger of mixed raarriagea—that is more severe matrimonial legislation, and it is not improbable that we may have it ere long. Rome has asked all the bishops to give the exact number of mixed marriages in their dioceses, which leads us to believe that the matter is under consideration. Nowadaya neither the energy of parents nor the good faith of married couples oan be relied upon. The moment parents know that their ehildren cum no longer be allied to Protestant families without spostitiz- ing, they will be more vigilant and more cautions. It is probable that a few will not heed this, but the majority will submit to the ecclesiastical law, and thereby pre• serve the Catholic faith of many ohildren. A. Lost D.

Some weeks ago a man and wife, with their Want child, Wiled from Liverpool for New York, and there lived in apartmenta for num little time. At the end of a not very lengthened period, however, the husband endeavored to give his wife the ['lip, and after marceuv• ring to that end for it day or two he effected his purpose. The deserted wife, however, made diligent search, and found that her erring epouee had taken pasaage by the Galen Mesmer Wyoming, whioh left New 'York on September 2nd, and had left her and her child behind, Nor did this sum up the error of his ways, for he was accom- panied by some woman of whom the wife got to hear.

The Wyoming, being an older and plower boat, did not reach the Bar till the 12th, when the tug Spendrift went off to meet her, aud on board the tender was the pluoky wife. When the tug drew up alongside the Wyoming the fugitives were greatly surprised to dithover that they were found, and that they had lost the race in withal, all anconnionly, they had been competitors. There was no disturb. ance of any kind, but the successful pur- suer, who is a tall, nausoulardooking woman, marched her partner aboard the tug, and learned that his partner wee accompanied by her mother.

Sometimes, at these meetings, matters are discussed of whioh publicity is not desired, but there is no one who understands the eternal fitness of things better than the experienced reporter, and in his judgment all public men can implicitly rely.

The olose observer cannot but perceive that there are changes taking place in our eatabliehed standards of beauty.

Those who saw much of Abraham Linoole daring the later years of hie life were greatly impressed with the expression of profound melanoholy his face always wore in repose. Mr. Litwin WAS of a peculiarly sym- pathetic and kindly nature. These strong claaraoteriatios intiaenced, very happily, as it proved, hie entire polithed career.

It was to his sympathetic ear Lincoln tem the story of his love for sweet Ann Rutlidge ; and he, in return, offered whet comfort he weld when poor Ann died, and Linoole's great heart nearly broke. "Alter Ann died," says, "Uncle " Billy, " on stormy nights, when the wind blew the ram u against the roof, Abe would set thar in the grocery, his elbows on his knees, his face in his hands, and the tears rannin° through his fingers.

What adds poignancy to the grief sometimes is the thought that the beet one might have been saved. Fortunate, indeed, ia William Johnson, of Corona, L.

I trusted lieutenant of Mr. Paige, the stoond !light before the eleetion, found a met, who in height, form, features, and voice strongly resembled Captain McClure. He dressed this man to personate the captain and took him into the iron wards, where many of the men were frequenters of saloons. A man known among the iron -workers was hired to intro- duce this counterfeit in the saloons as Mr. McClure. At each place visited the simu- lator, after being introduced as Capt. Mc - Clare, asked in spread-eagle style the vot- ers present to vote for him, made some fulsome pronaises, walked up to the barand called for two glasees of beer, which he and the master of ceremonies drank. Not a voter present was treated to it drop. The howls of derision and indignation which went up from each saloon after the depar- ture of the pretender and his guide can be imagined.
