that hard carpet and thoughtthe night
out thought Of her, and her love for
me-thought of myself, and my love
for her.
With the morning light fresh fears
came upon me, lest my unconscious
roommate might yet peer beneath the
bed for robbers before she left the
room; but my fears were groundless.
She rose and dressed expeditiously, for
she was to join her cousin at an early
breakfast, and she had oversight her
self. When at last she took the key,
unlocked the door and departed, | lost
no time in slipping out Of my shame
full place Of concealment. and escaping
from the hotel. On the stairs | met
Fred coming out Of his room, who ex-
claimed:
"Why, what's the matter with you,
old fellow? You look like the last
days of an ill-spent life. And your
coat, too-why it's all feathers and
dust. Where have you been?'
"Why, I slept-slept out last night,
that's all. Our house is full, and so [
had to find quarters somewhere. [ am
just going home to dress"
81 should say So. decidedly. I see
it all, old fellow; you've been on a lark
and had to put up in the watch-house.
Come, now, own up, and tell us all a.
bout it.
"No lark at all, Fred, nothing of the
kind, | assure you"
"Well, if not lark, what kind of a
bird was it? From the looks of the
feathers, I should say it was goose. %
"You're the goose, Fred. But seri-
ously, I've word to say to you of a
most important nature. Be a man,
Fred, and make up your mind to hear
something excessively disagreeable.-
It must be told to you sooner or later,
and | may as we'll tell it nowv'
"Good heavens, Gus! how earnestly
you look at me. You don't mean to
say that-that anything has happened
to Belle Bronson?"
sDon't mention her name again,
Fred, or think Of her any more, for
shell never be anything to you. I
have it from one who knows all about
it, that she has been attached to some
body else, and that somebody else
means to marry her. There's no mis-
take about it, so bear up and try your
luck elsewhere"
But Fred Evans was not to be dis
couraged by mere hearsay. That very
day he went to see Belle, determined
to know his fate from her own lips
Soon after he left Oakville, and | did
not see him again for several years,
when, meeting him in town one day, I
insisted on bringing him home with
me, and presenting him to his old
flame, Belle Bronson-the present Mrs.
Evergreen.
"Ah, Fred" said he, after dinner,
when my wife and the little Evergreens
had left us to ourselves-''ah, Fred,
you served me shabby trick when
you allowed me to lose my heart to the
girl you were all along intending to
marry yourself-a very shabby trick,
one Of which [ never suspected youv'
So I had to tell him Gin strict conf
dence, of course, as I tell you, reader
all about the bedroom affair at the
OakVille Hotel, and the love that grew
out Of it.

@If you would add ltistre to your
accomplishments, study a modest be-
havior. To excel in anything valua-
BILE is great; but to be above conceit on
account of ones accomplishments is
greater. Consider, if you have natu-
raj gifts, you owe them to Divine
bounty. If. you have improved your
understanding and studied virtue, you
have only done your duty, and there
seems little reason for vanity. Nodes
ty is at all times becoming.

be determined to resist it. Go to some
place which will be selected, and which
will be the capitol of the State, and see that
that great soldier, John McEnery, does
upon the holy Bible take the oath of Office
as Governor of Louisiana. No policeman
will dare attempt to disperse such crowd.
But suppose we are put down. There is yet
hope. We must resist the payment of
taxes, impOverish the treasury, and
these vultures Will leave the Mechanics
Institute when there is nothing left to feed
upon. The people of New Orleans owe
$3,00O, 900 of taxes. There is way of re-
sistance, and we are indebted to the tax
resisters' association for devisiDg a plan.
We can fight it out on that line. If it
comes to selling property, let the thirty
thousand property owners arm themselves
and resist it. If they will, their property
will not be sold, and I'd like to see the
sheriff who would attempt it.

Colonel Eugene Waggaman was the next
speaker. He made his customary speech
on such occasions, but with less than his
usual fire.
Mr.. Joseph Fry introduced resolution
to the effect that 1--WE, the people OF Lou
isiana, do pledge to each other our lives,
our fortunes and our sacred honors, to in
stal in office the legally elected State Off
GERS and legislature"
The resolution was carried by acclama-
ton.
Colonel j. N. Smith was the last
speaker of the evening. He was anxious
for another struggle for political freedom.
1t was what our fathers was engaged in
ninety five years ago, and if we have any
of the right spirit left, we will maintain
what they gave us. The speaker would
give to his son what he inherited from his
father, but meantime would starve out de-
spoilers and robbers by not paying any more
taxes.
The president stated that he would ap-
point his committees to morrow, and the
meeting adjourned.
