THE UNLUcKY TICKET.
WRITTEN FOR TEE HARTFORD HsRLLD,
By GEORGE M. ROWE.
CHAPTER III.

Night was near at hand, and Will hay-
ing no where else to go, went to hotel
and engaged room. He was nearly ex-
hsusted, and retired to bed early, but not
20 sleep. His mind ran back over the
events Of the day he had spent in vainly
striving 10 disentangle himself from the
damning evidence against him. Then he
thought Of Laura, and wondered what her
opinion Of him was. He recalled the ma
ny happy hours he had spent in her So
ciety, the many airy castles he had built
in which she was installed as fairy queen,
the many fond hopes he had cherished of
some day leading her from the marriage
altar ss his bride, and his brain seemed
TO reel at the thought that she con-
sidered him a thief OF all the reverses
he had met with, this was the hardest to
bear Of any. He knew that all those
bright hopes were dashed to earth, but be
would have given millions had be possess
ed them for Laura to know that he was
innocent. Ever since his conversation
with Mr.. Winter he despaired of being &C.
quilted, and he concluded to retain Mr..
Kinney as his counsel only to get his time
at the penitentiary as short as possible.

laundering after him. She slammed down
the lid, plugged up hole with the butt

animal was nicely caught in his own
trap. Now ninety-nine women in hum
dred would have taken refuge in the gar

piercing shrieks that would have alarmed
the whole vicinity, like cries Of murder
or fire" The Keokuk heroine in her
adventure with a mouse did no such
thing. She stood her ground manfully.
She summoned the hired man. He came
and a council of war was held in

the settled plan of the campaign, got

lid was lifted and the lady vigorously
punched the hour-barrel with pole.

hired man, thinking the woman was dead

ST.. LoUIs's FoUNTAIN.-TheS st. Louis
GlObe-DemOcrat says of the public
drinking fountain which is soon to be
erected on Olive street in that city ::
The fountain will be constructed of
Knoxville marble and galvanized iron,
and the moUntit gs and ornaments of
silver-plate and plate-glass. Its height
will be fifteen and a half feet, with a
diameter of three and a half feet. It
Will be surmOUnted with an ornamental
spray fountain and urn, beneath which
will be a gas lamp. The cups are made
of nickel silver, silver-plated and gold
lined. The style of architecture is en-
tirely at variance with every public
drinking fountain in this country. This
fountain will not only meet the water
demand, but will be supplied with
clocks, thermometer, and barometer ;
IN fact, it will prove a combination of
public conveniences, the present want

Motley, the historian, is still very
feeble from the paralytic stroke which
disabled his tight side several months
ago. He is said to be much changed
by mis- physical misfortune and the loss
of his wife. His friends fear he will
never be rble to resume his literary
pursuits. He spends his time partly at
his own house near the Hague, and part

England.
