1...... a Way to cm in. Jail Doors s-
More.
Ismxron'r, N. Y., Sept. 17.-—-'i‘hero was
no happier child in the whole world than
was Millicent Arnold just at this time
two years ago. It was impossible not to
feel cheerfulwhcn she was about. She was
very pretty. with her big, laughing eyes
and rosy cheeks and lips, that would smile
whencvor there was half a chance. The
sun never set in her heart, and the flowars
bloomed tberc winter, and summer.
' The whole .town knew her and loved
her and envied her father and mother.
She and her father were always together.
He was a young man, handsome, popular,
rising in politics, successful in business.
And when he and little Millicent walked
together, as they did almost every even—
ing after business and school were over for
the day, they smiled happily at every one
they met, and every one smiled happily
back at them. especially at the little girl,
who was so evidently proud of her father.
He was John Jacob Arnold. the county
treasurer and the cashier of the Merchants'
National bank. and his home was one of
the most comfortable as well as the
happiest in Lockport. One day in the fall
of 1893 they sent for Millicent to come
homo from school. The bank had closed,
an examination of the limits of the coun-
ty was in progress, and her father was in
jail. Millicent wont to the jail with her
mother. It was a horrible shock, and her
mother. who know the truth, had broken
down. But littlo Millicent‘ faced her fa-
ther with a brave smilo.‘
Knew Be Was~ innocent.
”I know you are innocent. father." she
said, putting her arms around his neck.
It was not until weeks afterward, when
he had begun to serve his i2 years’ son-
tence, that a child taunted her with her
father's disgrace and thus opened her
eyes to the truth.
Presently she began to droop. The doc-
tors came and said she was threatened
with consumption. The Arnolds had no
money to take her away. Tho pretty home
was gone, and even tho humblost house
was too expensive for them. But even if
they had taken her away it is doubtful if
it would have done her any good. Within
six months the disease had fastened upon
her.
Week by week she wasted away. She.
tried to be cheerful, and she was so grate-
ful to the people of the town who were al-
ways coming to see her. And her beauty,
instead of growing lees, grow greater. By
last spring she was so fragile that they
were almost afraid to touch her. And one
look at her great, sad eyes was enough to
bring the tents to the eyes of those who
culled.
Two weeks ago it became certain that
her death was onlyo mottorof a few days.
The child seemed to know it and began to
ask to see her father. She talked to every
one about it and refused to believe that
the law could be so cruel as to prevent
him from seeing his little girl before she
died. It seemed to be so. however, and,
although every lawyer in town was intcr-
catcd and was trying to devise somo plan
by which it could bodonc, not can of them
could think of anything.
Richard Crowley, who had been her fa-
ther's lawyer. set to Work to get the trial
of another oiliclui of tho lilorchunts' bank
fixed for as early a date its [tossibltn When
he had made somo progress with this. ho
went before Judge Millcr and applied for
n writ of Iuibous corpus for Arnold so that
he could testify. it was a iilmsy oxcusc,
but the judgo. sitting in a court of mercy
and not in a court of justice, promptly
granted the writ. This was Saturday
afternoon. Sunday morning Arnold. in
citlzcn's clothes, started for homo.
A Pathetic Scene.
In the evening ho was with his dough-
tcr. When tlic door opened and hc mum
in and caught her in his arms, alto throw
her onus about his neck and put hor chock
against his and gave a long sigh. “I
s
' know he Would bring you," she said. Ar-
nold was crying, and tho koopcr woe wip
ing his eyes. The little girl was quitc culm.
“Now lny run In tho bod, faihcr," sho
said. “i am so tired. it was so long
waiting for you. "
She lay tin-re, her Taco as white as the
pillow, hor big oym, bright its they had
not been for two years, firm] upon her in-
thor. lior tiny hand was nestled In his.
She was perfectly illiitit as the hours [tossed
except that now and than she would gIVu
a faint sigh and say. “Oh. lamsohappyi"
When life was so wank in her that she
could not speak above a whisper, sho mur-
mured that. she wished him topray. When
her mother had prayed. her father still
holding the little girl's hand as ho knuit
beside her bed, thochlid whispered, “And,
oh, (ital. you were very, very good to
bring me my dear father.” Tho doctor
leaned over her presently lx-muso her eyes
had shot and her breath was iiuttcrlng.
“She Is dying." ho said in a low voice.
Arnold threw himself upon the lad and
began to sob. The child opened her oycs
and let her long. slender, almost trans»
parent fingers rest upon his cheek. "(local-
by, father,” she whispered. "i am going.
Goodby. I shall see you some day."
Then she died. and the smile that was
on her lips then was fastened there by
death. Arnold will be permitted to stay
here until the funeral is over. Tic will
then in all probability go latch to prison
and return when the third trial of J. 8.
Holmes, president of the bank. comes on.
Arnold will testify against him.

MAY CALL IALMAGE.
The Brooklyn Divine May Succeed Dr. Suss-
‘deriand In Washington.
WASHINGTON, Sept. iii—A local paper
prints a report that the Rev. T. De Witt
'i‘olmago of Brooklyn may be called to
Washington to succeed Rcv. Byron W.
Sundorinnd as pastor of the First Presby-
terian church of this city. Such a report
has been mentioned as a remote possibili.
ty, contingent upon the resignation of Dr.
Sunderlnnd and the subsequent determi-
nation of the church to call Dr. Talmoge.
It has been based largely upon the fact
that Dr. Talmago and Dr. Sundcrland are
close personal friends and are at present
summcrlng together in the Catskills. It
has been understood that Dr. Sunderiand,
who is advanced in years, has desired for
some time to retire from active church
work, but his congregation has resisted
every intimation from him looking toward
his retirement. At present there is no va-
cancy. and therefore no determination to
call Dr. Tolmage, although it may ulti~
mately come about that the distinguished
Brooklyn divine will come to the national
capital as the successor of his old friend.
The First Presbyterian church is the Fl
one attended by President and Mrs. Clove-
land during the first and the present ad-
mlnistrntions.
