cty from Ohio, q carpenter, with his
wife and her sister, the latter buxom,
bonnie lass OF "sweet sixteen A re-
sidenoe was secured, the husband
found employment aud for u time all
things were smooth and prosperous,
Shortly after their arrival the young
lady met aud became enamored OF a
young painter. The feeling was recip-
rocated and together the two loving
and trusting hearts INDUCED In day
dreams OF future happiness. But, alas!
IT'S the oft-told tale. The maid "loved
not wisely but too WELL" and In IN
evil hour she fell victim to the guilty
passions OF him who should have loved
aud protected her.
Sickness deprived the husband Of
work, aud ere they realized the
fact, want stared the family In the
face. But here the young painter come
to the rescue, and with generous lib
erality, rendered aid to the unfortunate
husband. II was accepted for time,
when, unable to procure work In this
city, he determined upon visiting Gal
weston. Money was furnished him,
and he left. Soon the glad tidings
reached the wife that he had secured
employment, followed in short time
after by remittance to defray the ex-
penses Of herself and sister to that city.
During this time GOODNESS had sprung
up between the sisters, and when the
invitation was extended the young
lady to visit Galveston, she very posi-
lively declined to accept 1t. Not DEEM
Ing that anything was wrong, the wife
left the hayward sister, a few weeks
ago, to join her husband, thinking that
she would meet her at Galveston when
she recovered from her "pouting spell"
Shortly after the departure Of her
sister, the young lady discovered that
the attentions of the young painter
were beginning to decrease, and she
mildly reproved him. Then began
quarrels and contemporaries, which
eliminated Thursday in her address
ing him note, stating that she was
upon the eve of leaving the city, but
that one word from him would alter
her resolution, and entreating him to
visit her. Her entreaties and proffers
were received with indifference, and
mad, crazed, delirious, the poor girl
attempted to drown memory and
troubles In the baneful contents of the
wine cup. While under the influence
of the Intoxicating liquids, she was
met by a man well known to the
police, who sports the romantic soubri-
q,tet of "Steamboat Bill" who lost no
time in conducting her to one of those
dens of infamy with which Dallas IL
cursed, In the shape ola dance house"
When information reached the
young painter that the girl whom he
had so basely betrayed and deserted
was an inmate of dance house, he
was struck with remorse. Proceeding
to the place, he held an interview, and
besought her to turn from the paths Of
sin while 1t was yet time. He express
ed the greatest grief and contrition,
and under the influences of that magic
word, love, she left the baleful sur
roundings aud returned to her place of
residence. Fl"
Yesterday, after providing literally
for her, the young painter placed her
on the train for Galveston, where, let
1t be hoped, under the influences of a
sisters love and virtuous home, the
past will be forgotten or only remem.
bered as the visions and recollections
of distorted dream.
