CALLED TO ACCOUNT.

Some years ago, when ! was quite 8
young man, was sent down to Evans
Corners about big robbery that had
occurred, and while / was there working
the thing up, my attention was attracted
by pretty girl used to see at the hote
where I stopped. Nobody could helps
noticing such beauty. Her hair and
eyes were Ozark, but her skin was fair a
a lily, with Just dash of red that came
and went in her ckeeks. Her form was
slender, but well rounded, and her hand
was as white and finely formed as any
lady's hand in the land. Her name was
Rose Wynne, and of course, she had
plenty of admirers, but she coquetted
with them all. However there were two
who were long way ahead of the others.
l used to wonder which she liked the
best, but could never guess, for while
she smiled sweetly on one, she would
fling merry word at the other, and so
on. Both young men were good looking,
one fair, the other Oakland both were
carpenters. One was called Andrew
Davis, and the other Mark Sheldon.
Sheldon was a jealous fellow, and
showed it. Davis was jealous, too, but
didn't show it SO plainly. Sheldon was
always in quarrel with her. Davis, I
fancied, was angry enough at her coquet~
teries sometimes to eat her, but he never
let on.
Rose Wynne knew I was a detective,
and had a sort of awe and curiosity
about me. Many a yarn I told her
ome true, some not. It was so pretty
o see her big eyes kindle and grow
bigger.
I used to joke her sometimes and try
and discover which she liked best, Davis
or Sheldon. But she would never tell
me.
"See here, Rose," I said to her one
day when she had been playing those
two chaps off against each other pretty
lively, "you'll have those foolish fell.
lows fighting about you if you're not
careful"
:" I'm much more afraid of one of them
fighting me-" she laughed.
Which one ~ I asked, laughing
too: but I thought of Davis glowerine
locks
"Guess," she said.
"They've both got temper, too much
of it."
"Andrew Davis hasn't much temper !"
she said.
8" shouldn't like to be in your skin
it you ever jilt him or the other.' I |
answered.
Why not ?" she asked.
" Never mind" I said; but if You |
ever make up your mind to marry any,
body beside Andy Davis, don't do it |
while he's around-that's ALL"
Rose glanced to where Davis was |
at the other end OF the We.
rsndah. watching US, though he pre-
tended not. Then she looked hack at me,
Well, you're solemn enough about |
it." she said; ''anyone would think you |
meant it,"
We both laughed, but I said, shaking |
my head:
You know that I do mean every |
word,
Well, I'll tell you what I'll do.
ssld Rose. If any harm ever comes
2 me through either Of them, I'll pro-
nise to come to you, Mr.. Sharpe, or
end my ghost to tell you who did it.
And you must hunt him down for it.
" vi you promise me that7n
Yes, I will" I said, = and there's
ny hand upon it,
St. Landry democrat., 1879-07-26

If Mark had not come just then in time
to save me. Davis had run away as fast
as he could, and he did not know that he
had failed in killing me, after all. The
shock was dreadful one to me, and
my fear of Andy Davis was SO great that
l begged Marx to hide me from him,
and from every one, and let it be sup
posed that I was dead. So then we
were married, and went away from this
part OF the country for several months,
till we heard that Davis had gone away,
when we returned. But I kept close,
and let no one but my folks know I was
alive, for I was determined that Davis
should be punished in some manner. So
| never went out without a thick double
veil over my face, for / was afraid of
Davis yet.
Then, one evening, I was riding along
in carriage with my husband, when I
saw Mr.. Sharpe sitting at a window.
He was disguised but I recognized him,
and / remembered that he had once
promised to help me if ever needed bis
services. So I went up to the window
quietly and spoke to him, and told him
about Davis, and that is all. I didn't
want the man hung, of course; but
hope he won't be allowed to murder ma
IS | am sure he will want to when he
finds I'm not dead.'
But Davis was past doing any one any
further injury. The wretch went from
one fit into another and finally died. lit

sin had certainly found him out.

THE BATTLE AT THE LAST DITCH.

THE DEMOCRATIC MANAGERS GIVING GROUND
FURTHER CONCESSIONS ON THE JUDICIAL BILL.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.I
WASHINGTON June 1S.-The Democratic man
ayers are very much alarmed at the prospect OF
veto of the Judicial bill They do not dare to 60 to
the country and close the courthouse doors. Ac-
cordingly the House Appropriations Committee this
morning, in considering the Senate amendments to
the Judicial bill, prepared the way for further
concession on the part of the Democracy. This was
done bv non-concurring in one of the important
Senate amendments and in asking for conference,
Mr.. Mcmahon in making this request distinctly
said that his purpose to amend the bill so that
il would be less likely to incur the Presidential
veto.
The plan announced by Mr. Mcmahon was subse-
ouently carried ont in the Committee of Confer
ence which consisted of the following members {:
On the part of the House-NcMahon, of Ohio, Cobb,
of Indiana and MunrOe, of Ohio on the part of the
Senate-Wallacc, of Pennsylvania. Davis. OF West
Virginia. and Booth, of California. The Caucus
Committee did agree so to modify this defiant little
Judicial bill as to include everything in it except
the provisions relating TO deputy-marshals.
This was a very material modification. In its
final form the bill is to have no restrictions upon
pcndinr the money under Title 26 of the Revised
Statutes relating to the Election laws except in the
single matter Of deputy-marshals. The proposed
amendment prohibits the appointment and pay
ment of such marshals, the proviso, however.
being restricted to this fiscal year alone. Every
other expense which the Democrats had intended to
forbid is allowed under this title Supervisors may
he apDOiuted and may be paid under any other law
if such law can be found, or could be paid by pri-
! vate contributions. -,
| Some Democrats think the President will sign
this BILL but the Republicans are quite as confident
! that he Will veto IT.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The Democratic Sena-
torial caucus, held this morning, probably marked
the end of the Warner Silver bill for this session.
although its friends still maintain their attitude of
determination to "try it again " Immediately.
There was no quorum at the caucus until half
mast II, when Senator Mcpherson walked in.
Thereupon Senator Hill said it would be in
decent to act upon so important measure
with only a bare quorum, and he moved
that the caucus adjourn. This was car
ried. and Immediately afterward the silver men
discovered that they had fallen into a trap. They
INQUIRED when another caucus would be called, and
were told the adjournment was without day. Sen
ator Coke and his silver friends are incensed at
what they term the cOwardice of the Democratic
leaders and the trlckery Of senator Bayard and his
followers The honors thus far all fall to Senator
Bayard 1t is believed that the silver struggle IN
