S?BiNayiKU, Mo, April Tl. At 1 :S0
o'clock thi morning a mob of four hun
urea armed men surrounded the county
jail and began parley Lng with the sheriff
for the surrender of George E. Graham.
the wife murderer. The sheriff would
not comply with the demands, but they
soon, battered in the doors and secured
th prisoner . At 2. o'clock the mob
started out of town with Graham in their
midst. It was thought that the mob
would take Graham to the Malloy farm,
bang him, then throw hi body into the
well where hi wile's body wa found
But the leaders of the party artfully
gaye the followers the slip by starring
in the direction of the Malloy place but
changed their course as soon as the
others turned back. While y et within
the city limits they hanged him to a tree
within just one hour after tbe attack
made on the jail. Sheriff Donell
said : The first thing I knew was when
masked men broke into my room and
said: "We are friends.don't be Beared."
They overpowered me and secured
the keys, I knew nothing ol
how Grabam took it. I was
kept close in the room. When ' they
unlocked Graham's cell he said: "You
can hang me,but,by God.you can't scare
me." 1 hey tied his hands behind him and
marched htm through tbe hall with a
rope around bis neck. He was as white
aa a sheet, but otherwise he never
flinched. Inemob ia variously esti

but went to his doom coollr
and died spparently without a struggle.
The mob then dispersed in all directions.
A notice was pinned t i his body which
closed with the following waroinz to
Sheriff Donell: "Keep your mouth
shut. If you recognize any of us vou
will die the death of a dog."
ANOTHEB REPORT.
After procuring the kevs from the sher
iff the men went to tbe cell and opened
the door. Graham was in his bunk. He
waa commanded to get up. Ho was at first
Infuriated and replied with oaths, but
was silenced by the muzzle of a revolver
thrust in his face. He dressed himself
and when tbe rope was placed around
his neck, broke down and went bitterlv.
The leader ot the party informed him
of their mission and demanded a
true statement of tbe killing
of Sarah Grabam. He recovered his
composure and with something of his
old audacity replied that when he got
out he would give them "straight talk."
tie was led out ot jtul at tbe end of the
rope and placed in a wagon and the
grim procession moved in a northerly
direction. About two miles north of tbe
city the cavalcade halted by a small
scrub osk tree. Pickets were thrown
out. who kept all curious followers
at a distance. Tbe preparations for
hanging were hurriedly made. Graham
was asked If be had any thins further to
say with regard to the killing . of his
wrte. Exactly what his reply was is
not known outside ot the charmed circle
who aurroundid him. but it is claimed
that he reasserted his statement that
neither Mrs. Malloy or Cora Lee were
implicated in the murder. A cloth was
tied over his face and his hands were
bound behind him . A rope was thrown
over a limb of the stunted tree and a
dozen strong arms in a twinkling
dangled the body of the wife-
murderer in mid air He was literally
Strangled to death. At 5 a. m. the body
of Graham was banging where it was
left by the lynchers. This is the first
instance of lynch law that has occurred
in Green county for twenty years. It
was reported that one wing of the mob
went to Bolivar, where Cora Lee is still
in jail, with tbe intention of lynching her
also, but this is not verified.

that the Greek army would be disarmed
is coohrmed. The Greek chamber of

THE 6KEKK TROUBLE.
Londok. April 27. The news from
Greece is conflicting. One dispatch states
that France aid all in her power to se
cure a fsvorabie settlement tor Greece
and by individual meditation, but failed.
It is also raid that France did not sign
the ultimatum in which the other
power joined, ordering Greece to disarm ;
that she has not yet signed it, and that
if she eventually does sign it that the
fact will be communicated to
Greece ia a separate note.
Greece, it is averred, is arranging
to seek from the powers certain conces
sions in return for disarming, Other
dispatches say Greece disarmed before
the receipt of the ultimatum which or
dered the disarming to take place within
eight days, and that when the premier,
D. Ely no is, received tbe ultimatim he
declared that it was then objectless, as
order for disarming had already been
given. The dispatch says it was under
stood that France intends to propose
a conference for the purpose of msking
concessions to Greece. A telegram from
Athens states that the combined fleet of
the powers will probably return to
Pieieaus to embark the foreign min
isters. Italy desired the ultimation to
order Greece to disarm within forty
eight hours, but this was rejected by the
other powers as too pre-emptory.
THREATENED TO RESIGN. .
Paris, April 28 A dispatch received
here today from Athens states that
Greece will not disarm unless the ulti
malum sent ber by tbe powers is with
drawn. It is also said that King George
threaten to abdicate unless the ultima
tum is withdrawn.

THE YOUNG ARTIST.
,The tiny apartment was evidently tua
sister a only room; for in the centre, up
on a floor so spotlessly white to make a
carpet seem like a needless luxury on
this warm sunny afternoon, stood a
round table with a few dishes upon it,
awaiting the lunch which Maudie had
gone out to buy.
Maudie' 8 sister's ia an invalid, and ia
now sleeping quietly on the couch.
whose snowy pillows are not whiter
than her face.
Like soma lovely marble image she
looks: and were it not for tho fluttering
breatu, she could easily be mistaken
for one.
But here comes Maudie. with a light
springy step, scarcely heavy enough to
crush a flower, much less awakeu the
sleeper.
She bent above Alta a moment, liston-
intr tr hor nnipt lrflthinr? thpTl firm
lighted a spirit-lamp over which hung a
polished copper kettle. It was soon
bubbling away merrily, as though
pleased with the good it was going to
do.
It roused tbe sick girl. She opened
her eyes and smiled, as Maudie said
brightly:
Now for a cup of tea, Alta. See
what I have brought you the cunning
est little glass of currant-jelly! They
call it a 'picnic' jar; and it gives a relish
to these crisp milk-crackers, and this
nice butter. Just look how yellow it is
-like pure gold."
- As Maudie displayed her treasures,
Alta put out her hand languidly for
the plate which her sister offered her.
By this time tea was made and till
ing the room with its pleasant aroma.
Maudie took their one precious cup,
which had belonged to her grandmother,
put in just the right proportion of sugar
and cream, then poured the hot Oolong
over it. and coaxed Alta to drink it
She tasted a few niouthfuls before
she noticed Maudie was not eatinr.
Then she said:
"What has become of your appetite.
Maudie? Has your walk tired you so
much that you cannot eat?"
.No," was the careless answer; "I
have had my lunch. V
If she had told the whole truth instead
of a part of it, Alto's relish for her
frugal meal would have quickly vanish
ed. Maudie had only eaten a few soda
crackers since early morning; and in
spite of her cheery ways, if the projoet
which filled ber mind should prove a
failure, she knew not from whence
would come the next month's rent for
their modest room, or the few things
needed for their simple wants.
But she was brave and honefuL and
that is half the baiOe. One day while
passing the door of a fashionable
stationer, she had stopped a moment
before the window, attracted by the
boxes of tastefully arranged 'Papeterie.'
Some of the packages of envelope
were fastened together by bands, bear
ing designs in various patterns me
intricate Persian, or graceful groupings
of nature's pets, the frail wild-flowers.
or, per haps, the gayer Deaunes oi me
garden.
As Olauuie looKeu, a couversanuu,
which she had once heard between her
father and another gentleman, came to
her like a flash 01 inspiration.
Artists were employed to originate
these designs, and were sometimes
liberally paid, taste not being a
common commodity especially joined to
the faculty of perpetuating it in colors.
She was a littlo child when she heard
this, and thought at the time what a
pleasant way it would bo to earn monry;
for even at tnat age sne was iimie a
proficient in drawing, and loved dearly
to steal away by herself, with pencil and
nuiwr. and njlil' BOllluUlinsr ill "still
life" which had taken her fancy.
Her talent had Been fostered by uer
father, who had given her lessons from
the best drawing-masters, tuougu mue
thinking that his two girls would ever
be left in such a strait as this.
After the.idea had once entered her
mind. Maudie did not lose any time in
putting it into execution. Mie nastenea
home to hunt up her lx of water-
colors, and some remnants of Bristol
board which had remained useless and
nnthought-of at the bottom of a packing
trunk ever since they had removed to
their present abode.
Alta s eyes followed ner movements
with languid interest as she rapidly
sketched some graceful wreaths and
vines from the originals iu memory s
cabinet
One of them a delicate cluster 01
trailing arbutus well she remembered
the gay party who had set out lo nnu
the shy spring beauties in their haunts
under the snow. Smiles and tears con
tended for the mastery as she worseo;
but smiles predominated, for ber dis
position was essentially sunny.
Alta thought it merely a pleasant
diversion for her young sister, for
Maudie had kept the knowledge ol their
urgent necessity studiously concealed
from her. She felt such a sympathy for
the stricken girl that she was absolutely
motherly in her care 01 ner.
After two or three days of steady in-
rinsri-E-- Mandin had completed ' a num

ThA old trentleman scrutinized the

wonderfully well done, wonoenuuy

Aa be brought out these last words
lowiy ' and emphatically; Maudie'
spirits rose as rapidly as the merenry
does under the influence of unclouded
sunshine; and well they might for the
sun of independence and prosperity had
arisen for her.
Mr. Beauclerck offered to write her a
letter of introduction to the firm who
supplied the papeterie, saying that he
thought it very probable that they would
at once secure her services.
She waited long enough to receive
tbe precious letter, and then hurried
home to tell Alta that she had an errand
which might detain her a few hours,
and not to worry if she stayed even
longer.
She met with success. Her drawings
proved the "open sesame" to a compe
tence earned easily and pleasantly.
She could now procure the needed
delicacies for Alta, which had been out
of her reach before, hoping they might
restore the bloom to her pale cheek.
But the. poor girl was suffering from a
wound which struck deeper than a
more physical malady, so the loving
sister watched in vain for the roses of
health.
Now that Maudie was secure of an
independence, sho took Alta into her
confidence, and it proved a source of
pleasure to the sick girl to hear tho
young artist's off-hand description of
the various people sue met with in her
business peregrinations.
One day, Maudie took her portfolio to
town with her, as she had a prospect of
setting some of her larger -paintings to
be copied as chromos. Among them
she had inadvertently left a picture of
her sister, Alta.
The gentleman who usually inspected
her drawings was absent, and the senior
partner sent word that ho was very
much engaged, but to send in the port
folio and he would see if the paintings
were satisfactory, so she need not lose
her time by a useless journey.
Maudie seated herself to await his
decision. She heard the murmur of
voices in the inner otlico for a time, then
an exclamation of surprise, followed by
eager questioning. Then rapid foot
steps, and a gentleman entered.
"Miss Maudie, am I so fortunate?"
As be approached his face absolutely
shone with pleasure; but its expression
changed as Maudie rose, white to the
lips, and motioned away his outstretch
ed hand. '
Maudie listen to me. Nay, I will be
heard. There Li surely Some terrible
mistake, cruel alike to mo and Alta.
A3 God is my witness, my life, since I
lost you, has been a blank. I bavo nbt
left a place unvisited where I stood a
chance of hearing from yon. Do you
not believe me?"
Maudie stood for a momeut un
decided. He saw her change of expression, and
grasped her hand.
"I knew my little friend had not
turned traitor to mo in her kind true
heart. Come, take me to Alta."
Did vou not receive Alta's letter.
telling of papa's death, and our changed
circumstances?"
"The last letter I had from Alta was
dated just before you started for the
seaside on account of your father's
health. But we are wasting time; take
me to Alta."
"Alta is not the blooming queenly
girl of your acquaintance. Sho has
suffered a living death in thinking you
false. She is faded, and an invalid."
No matter she is Alta. That is
enough for me. My rose of girls! She
would be the same in my eyes even if
disfigured beyond recognition by
others."
Maudie was convinced.
"But my pictures?" j
The boy came in with a note from
Mr. Ogdeu, saying that ho would take
two of the oval landscapes. So Maudie
took ner porttolio, and started with the
impatient lover for tbe pleasant suite of
rooms which had replaced their one
attic room in which wo found them.
"Had it not been for your business
Miss Maudie I should never
have discovered your retreat Think
of it! Ii we had been seperated by a
single partition, and still passed on un
knowing and unknown! It was your
picture of Alta which told me who it
was wauuiv 111 111 y inuuu o uwn-.
"Alta's picture!"
"Yes. So that was an accident, too!
Well, Providence befriended me. The
oversight was for my special benefit'
Need we say that Alta recovered as if
by magic when hope and love were re
newed in her heart by tho return of her
lover faithful and true?
After his explanation, tho sisters
wondered that tbey had not thought it
to have been the true state of the case;
but they had had some bitter experience
of slights and coldness from apparently
devoted friends after their cliange of
circumstances, and when time bad
passed on, and Ernest Monteith failed
them, too judging by his silence
Alta had turned to tho wall and hoped
for death.
When Ernest came borne from bis
studies on the Continent be had gone
to their old home and found them gone.
Jrnest Alonteith and Alta t- Ulair
are now married lovers. Maudie makes
ber home with them; but, true to ber
independent spirit she continues ber
congenial labors. One of tho pleas-
antest rooms in Mrs. Monteitli s bouse
is appropriated to her use as a studio.
Her pictures are tbe fashion, and she
has orders enough ahead to till her
time for many months. How true it is
that our Heavenly Father helps those
who help themselves!
Tbe Beautiful Mis Chamberlain.
Miss Pli.nmherlain is now . 23 vears
old, and is the daughter of Mr. William
Chamberlain, of Cleveland, O., and the
granddaughter of Mr. Zelab Chamber
lain, who was one of tho wealthiest re
sidents of that city. Her mother was
a Miss Wilson, also of Cleveland. Mrs.
Chamberlain owns many lots in tho city
of Cleveland which were for many years
poor property, but whieh four years ago
rose suddenly in value and mauu. ner a
rich woman. But Miss Chamberlain's
position as an : heiress is due to her

bondholders, and receiving tho full
amount due him.
It was after this little episode and in
the summer of 1881 that the Chamber
lain decided to spend a summer in
Newport, whither tbey repaired with
their daughter, and there she made her
debut. She attracted considerable at
