i've years old and didn't have a great
deal of money, and she was Just fif-
teen. Their friendship deepened into
love as the time passed, and one fine
day the young man told his love. His
business was not paying him very
well, and after much consultation with
friends, Fee left the city to make his
fortune.
His adventures for the last ten years
would fill a very big book. He trav-
eled over the entire South. But luck
was against him, and just as he seem
ed on the eve of winning a fortune
something would har9en to destroy
the whole thing.
~ morning he woke up In Texas
and found himself herding cattle. He
was strong and young and used to
Out-of-doOr life, and had a little capi-
tai to back him. The result was that
he learned the tricks of the trade and
became one of the best cattle traders
and herders in all that country.
All this time he had been working
with the intention of coming back
some day and marrying his Kentucky
girl, but one day lie received a letter
from friend, saying it was rumored
that Maggie Sinclair was to be mar
ried soon. There had been no CORES
pondence kept up between them, be-
cause he thought it best not to write
till he had a home and fortune to of
fer his wife. He naturally concluded
that the girl, who was so young when
he left, had become tired of waiting
for one who seemed never to come or
had forgotten him. He went on herd
ing his cattle and trying to forget the
girl.
Meanwhile Maggie's folks moved
to Green street, near Thirteenth, and
their circumstances began 10 improve.
The two girls became prettier as the
years went by, and had no lack of adj
mirers. Maggie had an abiding faith
in her old love-. and steadily refused
all offers. Her sister Katie went
through the ward schools, the Female
High school, and after five years
cOurtship was won by a respectable
and industrious young man named
VIM. Malone
This was about seven weeks ago.
and the couple Immediately started
on wedding trip. They went through
the principal Southern cites, and at
last they thought they would visit
Texas.
After going through large portion
of the State they came to BrOwnstOWn.
AAs they were walking through the
streets on their way to the hotel they
were stopped by a big, broad-shOul-
dered, sun-burnt fellow. who extend
ed his hand to Mrs. Malone and ex-
claimed:
"Why, Kittie, don't you know Ed.
Feet
There was a hearty shaking of
hands, and the next day they were
all at Mr.. Fees ranch, mile or so
from BrOwnstOwn, and incidentally
poor Ed. said ha hoped Maggie's hus-
band was a good one.
"Maggie's husband I" cried Mrs.
Malone, "why, what do you mean p
"Aint Maggie married ?" he an
swered, tremblingly.
'Why, no; whatever put that into
your head ?"
The party were then treated to a
cAn-can dance executed by Mr.. Fee
and several very good limitations OF
Indian war hoops, for he had acquired
| a rather rough way of expressing his
feelings by his cowboy experiences.
OF course, when lie got here, there
was scene. lie didn't have such
a great difficulty in pressing his suit,
and that was tho reason that there
WIS a wedding party at St. Patrick s
church yesterday morning.
Mr.. Fee will take his wife to Texas
with him in a day or so, and they
| will carry with them TO their far
away hC me the good wishes of all
their friends.
