through his employment on a
steamer, been absent from home
for long periods of time, during
| which the cause of evil was con-
tracted, and, at the close Of the
old year, the husband, returning
home to enjoy the usual festivities,
found his neigbborhood all alive
with the story of his wife's un-
faithfulness. These live Goals of
tale-bearing gave additional heat
to his anger; but he contrlVed to
conceal his feeling from his wife,
and hurriedly left home under the
pretense of going to HankoW ; but
instead OF leaving, be, with few
trusty friends, secreted themselves
in the neighborhood, prepared to
obtain a cruel redress before the
fire of his anger cooled down. The
unfortunate man, ignorant Of the
fatal trap, entered the house Of the
woman, and, botL being surprised,
were secured by the watchers, who
speedily severed their heads from
their bodies and carried the df-
mer to the district magistrate, be-
fore whom the guilt Of the mur-
dered was decided by test; both
heads were put into tub of water
and set in motion by vigorous
stirring; the heads meeting face

said that If the man had but killed
the intruder, he would be liable to
punishment for murder but, haV-
ing effected a double murder, he
escaped with formal whipping,
and received a reward in cash. In
these cases, the district, to purge
itself OF such evils, destroys the
bodies of the dead by cremation,

out the items this morning."
Mrs. Streeter rose wearily, laid
her sleeping babe carefully in it's
crib, and proceeded to record the
articles named. She was young,
not over twenty-five, but the COM
pIexion was sadly faded, and faint
lines were already marking the
white forehead, while the tired
eyes told of care, and limited
strongly of sp nnsEstiisftied heart.
And this thin checked, pink
eyed woman had been called a
beauty only seven years before |!
And when she gave her hand to
Newton Streeter she could say
whst few girls can, Il married my
first love.'
Judge Streeter, the father, was
supposed to be wealthy. But
coon after bis sons marriage a
financial crisis came, and the thou:
sands dwindled into hundreds.
1t was false pride, perhaps, but
the young man shrank from a po
sition under those who had once
looked up to him, and his thoughts
turned wistfully toward the Wes-
tern prairies.
He expected objections from his
young and accomplished wife. But
she saw with his eyes, and was
not only willing, but eager, to go
and help him make home that
should be all their own. The ppr-
chasing of 2 prairie team, some
farming implements, and the ex-
peose of building a small house,
exhausted his capital and the
young couple commenced their
married life as many others had
done who had been blessed with
their advantages, Tho small dwell
ing contained but three sleeping
apartments, and this fact, added
to their uncertain income, induced
Mrs. Streeter to take upon herself
the entire care OF the household.
Two children had come in the
seven years to nestle in her bosom.
But one, a fairy child Of three sum-
mers, had slid away from them,
and was now sleeping beneath the
flowers of ths prairles and the
tired wife had sighed as she look
ed on the cold, folded hands.
"She will never toll as | have
done; but oh, I wanted her SO
much" the lonely mother sobbed
forth.
Mr.. Streeter was considered a
wealthy farmer. His acres had
broadened and his stock Increased
Physically and mentally strong
AND with a gentle loving wife ever
studying his tastes and wishes
why should he wear out fast?

C0GAECTHBG A CROWD.

A gentleman passing by an un'
attractive show window the other
day stopped and began looking at
an old-fasbioaed square clock ex-
hibited for sale (price s1.75.) 1t
so closely resembledd tho time:
piece that he had so many times
gazed upon with affection in his
old home, that he began to ex-
anime it, musing meanwhile on
the many scenes of his boyhood
days that would comlas backk to his
memory. Ae seemed SO absorbed
in what was before him that
another gentleman passin g
thought he would take a look, and
likewise came to . standstill
in front of the window; AZ old
woman, gnipg py with a basket,
had her feminine curiosity arous-
ed, and partly to rest, sat down
her burden, and, adjusting her
shawl, turned her eyes in the. d.
rection of the big square clock; q
couple of small boys, rolling hoop,
next stopped to see what vas
going on; and all the time the
nucleus Of the gathering was un-
doubtedly ruminating on the hap
py past, UNCONSCIOUS Of his sur
roundings. In about five minutes
crowd Of twenty-five people
from the different walks in life
had halted before that same win
dow, all eagerly stretching their
necks to get peep at what was
the central object Of view. The
crowd grew larger each SUCCEED:
ing minute, and tha man inside
rushed down to the back OF the
store to black his boots and smooth
down his hair, in anticipation OF a
big rush Of trade; and the orlgi-
nal cause of tho commotion was
still revolving in his mind the
joys Of his boyhood, utterly OBJ
livious of tha rapidly gathering
multitude, who by this time had
begun to push and crowd each
other, in order to see what was
the matter. In a moment more
the clerks in the various stores
near by had started on q dead run
for the spot, and the fever spread
ing, five hundred Or more, men,
women and children, all broke in
to a canter, bound to reach the
scene of disaster in time to get
good seat. Every team that came
down that street reined up, and,
in less time than it takes 10 tell
it, the. street and sidewalks were
one surging mass of humanity,
horses and wagons, yelling, swear
ing and fighting, and the first man
that stopped was still indulging
in "reminiscences of the days Of
his pastoral simplicity. Just then
a policeman strolled in sight, and,
noticing something a little unu-
sual, became little nervous and
somewhat mixed, pulled the fire
alarm hastily, and another guar

able number. The fire depart
mcnt started out in three diffe-
rent directions, with the entire
town at it's heels, yelling, "Where

from the steamers, and the rum
bling of the heavy wheels, with
the gongs and bells of the bose
carriages and hook and ladder
trucks, made up bedlamatic COM

By the way, would you like to

summer, and you take the hoy

eyes, there it is; the old doctor
was right,"' he thought. And then
aloud, "Do you know what I went
to the city for the day you were
i'll? ?"
!Mlo deposit some money for
moro land l think you said," she
replied, wearily.
Eyes; but | do not need that
land. [ have far more land than
| can cultivate now. And you
shall have that money-at least
all you want Of it-and 90 home
and stay ell the GUNNER, and Try
to get some Of your blood back,
l shall write to-day that you are
coming"
Mrs. Streeter could not believe
it was not one Of her feverish
dreams.
But it all came about in good
time, and she arrived safely at
home, where she was petted and
caressed to her hearts content.
"You are all trying to spoil me, "
she would expostulate; ~ shall
never be fit for a farmers wife
any more."'
And thus among loving friends,
riding, walking and, when at
home, reading, music and writing
long letters to her husband, the
Summer wore swiftly away.
And now ho had written that
he was com.ing, ana 9ha was count
ing tho days that must elapse ere
she could look upon his face and
be clasped to his heart. She was
eager to grow now. Her holiday
was over. Health had returned,
and not an instant did she shrink
from the old life,
And when tho husband came
and saw the wonder one summer
had wrought, he again told him
self that the good doctor was
right.
A few days were given to the
old friends, and then they turned
their faces toward their Western
home.
1t was evening when they ar
rived, and the wife looked with
bewilderment on the change. 4
handsomo front had been added
to the old dwelling; and before
she had time TO question she was
ushered into 2 parlor newly fur
nished and already lighted. An
elegant piano stood in a recess
evidently constructed for it's re-
ception.
She turned toward her husband
to assure herself that he, too, had
not changed into something or
somebody else. But the merry
twinkle in his eye tcld her he Was
enjoying her surprise, and slowly
she began to realize the whole Sit
uation. Yes, now she understood
his strange reluctance to mention
what he was doing, and his will
ingness to have her remain, even
after she had expressed her
anxiety to return.
"Come, 7 have moro to show
YOU !" and be showed her into a
large, commodious room, furnish"
cd for her own sleeping apart
ment, even to her baby's crib.
"This is for you. And now lay
aside your dusty garments and
prepare for tea; it must have been
ready an hour ago, will go and
see,"
When he returned he found his
little wife sitting in her little
rocker and weeping silently.
"IIavel wounded where | wish

fully.

ing; II am a goose, but a tired

American Heirs of the Hyde Estate in
England.

A prominent citizen of New Mexico,
e-xGovernor w. +. M. Army, has Just
sailed for Europe bearing proof Of his
kinship with the Hyde brothers, whose
immense property has for years been
bone of contention between the right
full heirs and the British crown. The
Lord High Chancellor of England rem
dered decision this year in reference
to the Hyde estate, that it is in the ma
ture Of personal property and not real
estate, and hence properly falls to the
descendants instead of reverting to the
crown. Ex-Governor Army has hunted
up twenty-five heirs besides himself,
and instead of trying to limit the NUM-
Der by maintaining n deal OF secrecy
about the matter, announces that he
will endeavor to secure all equal divis-
ion among all descendants who come
forward and clearly prove their titles.
The value of this prospective windfall
is 500, 100000, the accumulation Of
scores Of years Of interest and judlcious
investment by the Bank Of England.
The history of this estate is, briefly,
that Thomas, John and Humphrey
Hyde, great-great-uncles of eX-Govern.
or Army, made fortunes as East India
merchants, deposited them in the Bank
of England and died. The compilation
of the genealogy Of the family a few
years since brought out the facts. The
descendants were found to be scattered
all over the United States from Maine
TO New Mexico. Those who can prove
their relationship, and are therefore in
terested i'll the ancestral estate, are res
idents of Ohio, Mississippi, Maine, New
Mexico and Nova Scotia.
Part Of the evidence which ex-Gov-
ernor Army has to support his claim, is
the family Bible, which is nearly 100
years old, and contains the original rec
ord of the marriage of Elizabeth Hyde
with Joseph Army, as well as the entry
of the dates Of the births Of the children
of that marriage, the Ex-Governor being
the eldest son. born in 1872.
