of the Panhandle, met Miss Alice
TOwsley, of Port Washington, Wiscon-
sin, then visiting friends in San AN
tonic. The doctor was captivated by
tho personal charms and tho many aC.
mp.ishments OF the yOung lady.
The affair ripened into love, and, of
course, rs tho old story goes, "true
love never runs smooth" An engage
ment followed in due time, but the
father of tho young lady had been Il
Federal officer in the late war and he
Sternlv refused TO allow daughter OF
his 20 wed man who
had 0spOusod the Southern cause.
With matters standing thus and the
young lady IN her distant homo IL
| looked as If cruel fate had decreed
that tho lovers should ever be Kept
asunder, but the doctor kept on the
even tenor of his way, branding calves
aud increasing day by day his worldly
| goods. Though the doctor in
his wild prairie homo had
| become to DO n great cat
tleman and always immersed in
business affairs, yet tho lapse of time
| had in no wise diminished his affection
or dlmmed his recollection Of the fair
young lady he had known in San An
tonic, but frequent missives breathing
the simple story Of undying affection
found their way to tina far.oR homo OF
his Wisconsin love. But still the stern
parent Of tho young lady refused his
c3nsout 10 tho lovers, aud the
young lady, touched By the
cOnstancy Of the gontleman's
affection, determined that the unrea
sonable demands Of ono should not be
allowed 20 mar tho happiness OF two

should come from her nome in Wis
c1usiu 20 Fort Worth, whore her future
