But who was surely, surely, May,
his own May, neice of Maria Strong,
who took summer boaIders in a small
country village.
Mr.. Burnette had disappeared when
Lucien moved his wondering eyes
upon Mays face. and only the lady of
his true love remained VI 500 Il
@You will forgive me, Lucien," she
said, drawing him to a seat beside her
upon sofa, fif You think have de-
ceived you, when l tell you how it all
happened. My father spoke only the
truth this morning, when he told you
my future was the only anxiety of bis
life. I cannot tell you his worship
ping love for me! When / returned
from Norton told him of your love
for me, my promise to you,, knowing
you loved me for myself alone, with
no Knowledge Of my position or for
turee. T begged my father to send for
you at once, end tell YOU the truth.
But next to bis child, my father loves
the business he has built up by his
own energy and italsnti He wished
to be sure that it would not be ruined
in the hands of his son-in-law. and i
consented to his test of your ca
pacity. 1t is no small compliment,
Lueiep, for him to tell me he is
thoroughly satisfied, willing to trust
the future of both his child aud his
business to you" si3rs

Il am, She is my mothers sister,
Every summer Il have, spent some
weeks, in Norton. Still ] never have
performed any mental work there,
excepting during your visit, when
there was no servant. My aunt has
never left home, and I take no finery
to Norton, so that she does not at all
realize how different my life here is
from my life with her" " a'F
"And you, who must see so many
suitors, were willing to give me the
treasure of your love. q" stifi -
"Ah, Lucien, love is a tyrantl He
took us both under his rule in those
summer days at tnNorton, when 1 was
writing to papa of Aunt Maria's
boarder,, and he was hoping and fear
ing for me. But now come to the Ii
brary and tell him you have neconsid-
cred his offer. and wiz marry that un-
known lady you refused so positively
only this morning" n.nfs r.a4-t
"Was that another test, May?"
Not of my seeking. / knew moth

ago, bidding me put on my most cap
tivating dress, to punish you for the
refusal of my hand and fortune, by

There was surely a saucy triumph
in Mays tone, deserving OF the severe
censure of Lucien's warmest kiss, SO
he must not be blamed for giving
such punishment Mr.. Burnette, too,
was mischievously fond of referring
TO that momentous interview, after
heartily accepting Lucien's consent
to all his plans. sis-l wcf z.
s But he has not yet regretted his Of
fer, nor the position he has given Lu-
cien of full partner in his lucrative
business, while every hope of his low
ing heart is gratified by the. home
happiness of Mabel. Lucien gladly ac-
cepting the proposal to form one
family. There are two rosy children
in, the grand nursery, and already the
fifth anniversary of Mays wedding
day has passed, but there is no regret
yet in the happy home at the result
of /" Mr.. Burnette's Test"

lenge, determined to put an end TO
their buster and bravado, by thrash
ing them out to their hearts content.
He thereupon closed the conference
by sending word to Little Thunder
to harangue his men and prepare for
a fight. This showed piece of gen.
erous gallantry on the part of Gen.
eral Harney- but, as the sequel show
ed, white brains were far superior in
tactics to the untutored red man,
however conspicuous, might be his
natural bravery. General Harney. in
anticipation of a fight, had concealed
his cavalry far to the rear in ravine
unknown to the Indians, The latter
seeing comparatively small force of
infantry in the front, naturally felt a
contempt for their enemy and stood
their ground-which they never do,
if conscious of inferiority in point OF
numbers. The fight opened with the
infantry, who were kept well in hand
to prevent unnecessary loss, and. at
the proper time, when the Indians
were massed for vigorous onset, the
signal was given, and the cavalry
came up, and sweeping like torrent
amid the red foes the, slaughter was
turned into rapid fight Seventy
two dead braves were picked up, on
the field. 9 The Indians retreated

and both ends were guarded. so that
it was next to impossible for them
to escape without a further terrible
slaughter. .es.. .ae
About this time General Harney
who had heard firing in his rear, was
informed that Colonel Howe had an
engagement with a band of Indians
who had taken refuge in q cavern,
and had slaughtered nearly all OF
them. But when General Harvey as
certained that the slaughter 3 consist
ed of women and children he was SO
incensed with the cowardly act that
he ordered the mouth Of the ravine
in which a remnant of the Indians
We're corralled to be left unguarded
and the cavalry Withdrawn, SO the In
dians We're allowed to go, as the death
OF their principal braves and many
of their women and children was con-
sidered to be punishment enough.
