"Col. Tcmplar, Tn glad to shak,

has talked about you many and many I
time-ayo, and she cried, 100, when sh
talked of you"
"Bertic T"

"Rut your husband, Marion"
Berthe Caryl broke into very gcuia
laugh. r.T
''What fellows you soldiers are fol

mot married.! Oh, Marion"
lie took her hand aud looked wistfully
into her eyes.
Marion, We were foolish once, hut ]
think we are both wiser nsw."
She did not raise her long lashcs, and
lie went on
"But, Marion, the crippled, war-worn
soldier dare not ask the question that the
lover you'll have pleaded SO earnestly
once" a-r- a1.
She looked up now, with tears lying
brightly on her flushed cheek.
Then l will ask it. Sidney, DO you
care for me still?' ,
do I care for heavens sunshine? Do
| care for the blessed life that beats
within my own heat? Oh, Marion, mine
forever"
As he murmurod the tender words
close to her ear, Herbert Caryl, who had
been abstractedly spinning the rolling
pin around, brought it "down on the
snowy white table with bang.

"What is fifty pounds . year," qucs-
toned her sister,
why the rent, 10 be sure
Never mind tie rent just now, Mr..
Caryl," said Col. Templar, laughing
goodhumoreily. a..
"0h, but it is really fifty pounds a
year." said Herbert, solemn!y, "and---
why, look here, what is ,hisabout%
For Marion had led Sidney Tsmplar up
to him, and was smiling even while the
tears hung on her wet eye lasles.
"Wiil you love him ever so much,
BERTHE Tor-I think he is going to be
your own brother"
EXACTLY like the last chapter in my
novel;" said Ca,yl sagely. "Shake hands
Coloncl. And now Marion you take care
Of him for most Of my writing is shock

SO it happened on that sunshiny April
day that Colonel Sidney Tcmplar engaged
not only n house for his cousin Bertha,
but wife for himself.
DWELL take down the bill, BERTHE"
said Marion den.urely, because Colonel
Tcmplar likes the house and don't ex-
actly think Snoring rooms is your forte"
Don't you" retortcd Herbert. "Now
only suppose Colonel Icmplar had gone
away without seeing what convenient
closet that was where tie preserves are

But Marion made him no answer.

GOV. PALMER ON THE RIGHT TACK
His Fourth Veto

The old democratic notions of Gov. Palm
er have not been forgotten, and are now be
ing put to a good use. He is brsvey resist,
ing the unjust radical legislation, and has
already vetoed four acts Of the legislature.
The following telegram tells the story about
the last one
Special dispatch to the Chicago journal,
SpRIyGFIELD, H., Feb. 6.--The governor sent
TO the senate another veto message this morning,
the subject Of which was q bill authorizing the
citizens Of Bond county to borrow money 10 aid
the st, Louis and Terre Haute railroad company
in erecting machine shops at Greeuvie The
bill provided that $25, 900 could be voted for such
purpose. His objections are that the property Of
minors and women who could not vote, and the
minority who voted against the propositen, would
be alike taxed with the property Of the majority,
and it would be an act Of injustice to such per
sons
These being precisely the objections the
ARGUS has always urged against compelling
people to pay taxes for stock IL railroad com.
Panes, we are curious TO hear VIA, our rad.
ical friends in Rock Island will say about
this action Of their governor.

The Legislature of Illinois, at its session

cost not exceeding three million doll.rs.
A lot of ground was procured for the site 4;
fine mansion house and the unused tomb
Of the late President Lincoln were torn
away, the cornerstone laid with imposing
ceremonies, and the foundation begun. BY
the time the present legislature assembled,
the appropriations were exhausted, and the
commissioners are now asking for heavy
financial reinforcement Considerable oppo.

further prosecution ofthe work, and a resolu.
