MARDI.GRAS.

From Waverly Magazine
II am SO glad tomorrow is Mardi Gras
Ireceived my invitation to the Memphi
some time ago For fun and frolic give
me the ball of the Ulks at the Exposi-
ton. Have you procured tickets, Louis ?"
and Nina Gray turned to her lover's gaze
a face which plainly showed the pleasure
she anticipated on the morrow.
"Ticketsl" calculated Louis Gordon,
with an expression on his face hard to
analyze. why, Nina, you are joking!
Surely you have no idea of going to the
balls"
Indeed, have, though; my costume
is already prepared | have Seen in the
habit of attending the balls ever since
Mardi-Gras has been celebrated in Mem
phis
Nina, | do not approve of ladies 60
ing to public balls, still less do | fancy
seeing them at masked one, her lover
spoke gently, yet firmly.
"You do not mean to say, Louis, that
| must not go to the balls, do your You
must not say so, for go | must.
You will not go, if l ask you to re
main at home as a sign of the love you
have for meP" he asked, as he caressed
the beautiful hand he would not allow
her to draw away from him.
Without answering his question, she
asked
Are you going?'
"l-well-I-Nina, you know that gen.
tlemen do great many things it would
not be proper for ladies to do. l may
drop in few minutes, to see how many
fools there are in Memphis. But as to
dancing or promenading with masked
woman. you will never hear of my doing
that. ! would just as soon jump into the
Mississippi"
you will go in mask, of course2"
"Yes; ! think ! will represent an In
dian chief. By the way, Nina, | wish
you would lend me your red plume; it
will save my buying one, and will re-
turn it safe and sound"
Certainly, Louis, dear"
Nina could have clapped her hands in
her glee as he unconsciously aided her
in mischievous plan, which entered
into her busy brain, as he asked for her
red plume. As it was getting late her
lover started to 60 home.
Before | go, Nina, want you to as
sure me with your sweet lips that you
will not go to the ball, be said.
Certainly, Louis, dear; / only said
what did to try you; Ihsd no intention
of going at first.
II thank you very much, my darling, "
he said, as he bade her goodnight.

CHAPTER ii.

'Mardi.Gras night AS Mr.. Gordon was
pushing his way through the crowd of
maskers at the Exposition, he heard his
name called, and turned to see the sweet
est-looking peasant girl. who said
II beg your pardon, Mr. Gordon, some
way | have become separated from my
friends; spoke your name on the i'm
pulse of the moment, as | recognized
you in spite of your disguise, by your
splendid form and your peculiar yet no
BILE manner of walking"
We all know that mans chief weak
ness is vanity. Mr.. Gordon proved no
exception to therule. Being very much
Aattered by the lady, he offered her his
arm. Together they tried to make their
way out Of the crowd, but as it seemed
impossible to do so, he found a seat
where they watched the maskers pass
and re pass, so she could find her friends.
Seemingly she forgot all about her
friends ss they sat conversing.
1t is not my object to repeat all that
passed between them; suffice it to say
that Mr.. Gordon was completely fascina.
ted and charmed by the fair masker.
Before they parted, he made an appoint
ment to meet her at no far distant day;
also gave her superb diamond ring he
generally wore, as a surety that he would
be true to his promise to meet her again.

These remarkable facts are worthy Of
being noted, viz That the Declaration

Colonel John Nixon, and that it was

CHAPTER Ill.

The next evening, Mr.. Gordon called
on Nina as usual.
How did you enjoy yourself last
night2" she asked.
81 never enjoy myself anywhere un-
less you are there" was the gallant
reply.
"Well, some folks enjoyed themselves
without me, if you did not. Lula Hewitt,
my pretty waiting-maid, had splendid
time flirting with some snob or other; he
gave her a beautiful ring" And she
flashed his diamond before his eyes.

he did manage to seize on the church

tells how the mothor of the late French

by the allies, was stopped on the high,
road by the Marquis de Maubreuil, who
seaEehed her carriage and took away

is all the more remarkable as there was
great fuss made about this Merquis de
Maubreuil toward the close Of tie sec

wife, and an outcry was raised against
the Marquis continuing a member Of the
Legion Of Homer. i then came out
that he was one of lhe Foyaltsts who had

THE failure-most signal failure-of
the Santa Monica land speculation
scheme, ought to convince those who
are tempted to enter into wildcat
speculations of like character of the
utter worthlessness of subsidized
press. No enterprise was ever more
thoroughly advertised or more floridly
puffed than this of the Jonesville ma
nipulators. Everything possible was
said in favor of it, and love, money nor
a regard for justice and right could
get word against it in the San
Francisco or other papers employed
by the managers. Singly and alone,
the HERALD made the fight in defense
of truth and right, and the result is a
victory for the people and the COM
plete overthrow of a scheme which
relied for success on the false assertion
that there would be at Santa Monica
town of $4,000 inhabitants within
three years and of 100000 within ten
years. Mark this prediction: Lots
will be bought in Santa Monica with
in one year from to-day for fifty dol
lars apiece. In defeating this scheme
We have made some enemies, but we
have saved many a poor mans money.
This is our reward. We had rather
be right than to- own ten blocks in
Jonesville.
