The 9atberts then reorranged their neckties
"But don't understand" said Horace.
"Whittaker said Mr.. and Mrs. -"
''Oh, yes" said Frank. Beatrice and I
were married some time ago. Married in
Munich. Fine city, Horace-you know il
of course. We only came back from our
wedding trip Aw days ago. You are the
first we have seen. We thought perhaps
you would have put us up for couple of
days"
This request put the Talberts on their
mettle as hosts. Hospitality overruled
everything. Their house was at the young
peoples service so long as they wished-the
longer the better. 'But why did Beatrice
run away?" asked Horace,
cay, why?" said Frank carelessly ''That's
the question"
SIT could not have been to avoid you,'>
said Herbert,
''she says not But one is never sure
about such things"
s'You are afraid you would have to give
up the boy" said Horace to his niece.
She hesitated. Eyes, feared he would
be taken from me-" she said, Horace
looked triumphantly at Herbert. His theory
had been the right one after all.
Then they went off to see that room was
got ready for their unexpected guests

guests walked down to the village and
found Sylvanus Mordle.
Sylvanus positively sparkled when he
heard the news 1t freed his conscience
from shadow which had for months been
lying upon 1.-THE shadow of the ''Cat and
Compasse5" He TOOK hand of each of his
friends
Sorry for one thing-only one That I
didn't join these hands. Would have given
worlds-any thing-gone to Munich on pur-
pose. Ineadn't tell either of you why l
WISHED to do it."
The last words were spoken with genuine
feeling. Mr.. and Mrs. Carruthers pressed
the curate's ha Ids and thanked him for his
COOL wishes. When they left him Sylvanns
called for his tricycle. and propelled himself
ten miles out and ten miles home again. He
did so, he told himself, to keep his wind up
to sermon mark. He was unwilling to con-
Tess that the need for such violent bodily
exercise was brought about by the sight of
Beatrice as bride.
That night at Hazlewooi House the table
was as tastefully laid, the napery as smooth
and spotless the glass as lustrous the wines
as uhfmpeachable, the crockery as perfect
as ever. Frank did nearly all the talking.
he spoke of his future plans, of the life he
and Beatrice meant to lead, as coolly as if
all her friends had been at her wedding
Beatrice said very little. She was simply,
quietly happy Horace thought the youGg
couple behaved very wes:. As be remarked
to Herbert afterward, "There were none of
those embarrassing little famiiiarities which
70 often make the company of a bride and
orldegrcom-well, undesirable"
Beatrice left the men and strolled through
the garden. Horace and Herbert then filled.
their glasses, and in courtly way wished
Frank every happiness. 'sNot," said Hor-
ace, shat we can honestly say we approve
OF your having been married in this clandes-
tine way. But you may, of course, have
bad good reasons for itn
ave had good reasons said Frank.
"We think, however, we have right to
ask for an explanation of Beatrice's strange

Calling the Angels In.

We mean to do it. Some day. some day,
We mean to slacken this fevered rush
That is wearing our very souls away;
And grant to our loaded hearts hush
That is only enough to let them hear
The footsteps of angels drawing near.
We mean to do it. Oh, never doubt,
When the burden of daytime brell is DER,
Well sit and muse while the stars come out,
AS the patriarchs sat at the open door
At their tents with a heavenward gazing eye
To watch for the angels passing by.
We've seen them afar at high noontide,
When fiercely the worlds hot flashing beat;
You never have hidden them turn aside.
And tarry awhile in converse sweet;
Nor pray them to hallOw the cheer we spread,
To drink of our wine and break our bread.
We promise our hearts that when the stress
Of the Network reaches the longed for close,
When the weight that we groan with, hlnders
less,
Wen loosen our thoughts to such repose
As banishes Cares distur bling din,
And then-We1l call the angels in.
The day that we dreamed of comes at length
When tired of every mOcking quest,
And broken in spirit and shOrn OF strength,
We drop, indeed, at the door of rest.
And wait and watch as the day WaneS on
But the angels we meant to call are gone!

The Journey Of LIrs.

IT'S morn, the bright and golden morn,
And Sol threw out his kindest beam
Upon a barque that floated by,
just launched upon life's great stream.
The inmate laughs and smiles with 10y,
And lifts his voice in happy song,
Or plucks the buds that touch his barque
As dreamily they glide along.
His paddle parts the bluey waves,
The sunlight falls around him fair,
The willows bend their graceful arms,
The fiowrs wait perfume on the air,
Refreshing breezes fan his cheek,
The boat moves on without his pow'r,
And Natures servants aim TO make
His whole world like q fairy bower.
IT'S noon, the stream has widened;
It's rushing waters dark and deep,
Throw heavy waves about the barque,
He is fainhng, tired and weak.
The shores. that bloomed with flowers,
Have long since faded from his view;
The sky no longer crimson streak'd
Becomes dark and purplish hue
The winds that fan his cheek are dry;
And warm the Searching rays of sun,
And many, many troubles rise,
Before scarce half his work is done.
His arms are tired with heavy toll;
He longs for cooling rest and sleep;
The fairy bower turns TO grief
His weary heart would gladly weep.
IT'S eve, the restful, restful eve,
His little barque glides bravely on,
Behind are left the waters dark,
The wished for goal II soon be won.
The sails are weather-stained and dark,
And torn and rtfiied by the wind;
He's far more tired than at the noon,
A lasting rest he longs to find.
But see a light he's nearing now,
The sound Of sweet voices greet him,
The crystal gates are open'd wide
And kind Death comes out TO meet hin
A heavily light falls DER his head,
AS 1t drops gently on his breast,
His day of toll Is DER at last,
And he has found sweet rest, sweet res

The Conjuror's Bride.
BY W. !. HENDERSON,


Professor George Sholbaoh was q
magician. He was not common
place conjurer with blocks and balls
and canes and trick tables. He APP
peared before his audience with no
stage trappings Of any kind, and,
borrowed rings and handksrchiefs.
He amused the audience with really
wonderful feats. The second part Of
bis entertainment consisted Of mind
reading" and IL was with that he
most astonished and confounded the
minds Of the Western and Southern
people among whom he performed.
He had circuit Of towns, in each Of
which he appeared at regular inter-
walls. He never went off the beaten
track, and yet he always had crowd
ed houses, for at each temperance
he announced some startling new illu-
sion which proved to be more aston
ishing than any preceding one. Some
of his tricks he imported from for
eign countries; quite as many were
Of bis own invention. His personal
appearance was of some assistance to
him, for he looked like magician.
His hair was jet black, long and wavy.
His complexion was pale and blood
less. His forehead was low, and un-
der his sharply marked black brows
burned a pair Of coal black eyes, bril-
liant as diamonds and restless as
fame.
In Montrose he was great favor
ite. He had given his entertain
ments there number Of times, and
was admired much by the townspeo-
pie. He had never, however, made
any friends among them. He was
courteous to those who addressed him,
but he repealed all attempts at init
macy.
Among those who constantly at
tended. bis entertainments was Irene
Washburne, the daughter Of the-osly
editor in the place. She was nine
teen years of age and was remarka-
bly, handsome. Her dark brown hair
and eyes, coupled with complexion
in which the blood came and went
like waves on summer sea, her rosy
lips and milk-white teeth were the
loadstones that attracted many Of the
village beaux to her fathers house.
She was a very intelligent girl, but
was given to too much reading Of the
sombre tales Of Poe and the weird
fancies Of Shelley. Night after night,
she sat in the town hall when Shol-
bach was giving his performance,
chained by strange fascination
which she could not explain. She
shuddered with horror when the ma
gician's keen, restless eye lighted
upon her, and when she found him
gazing at her with a strangely steady,
burning look, as he often did, she
wanted to cry ont With horror but
could not. After each entertainment
she vowed that she would never again
visit the hall when the professor was
there, but when his bills appeared in
the town she found herself irresisti-
bly, moved TO 90 and see him.
This had been The state Of matters
for some time, when suddenly ShoI-
Oh threw off his reserve and began

The Fou tn la Flagstaff.

Until few days ago it seemed that this day of all days would pass over the heads of Flagstafites without ceremony or recognition whatever; but not so. The little ones will have a gala day by way of grand basket picnic in Brannen's grove, and then, 100, the ever enthusiastic veterans of he G. A. R. could not submit to this lack of loyalty on the part of our citizens, and have come to the rescue, at the eleventh hour as It were, with the announcement of rousing social hop, to be given by them this evening at Middleton & Hills Hall. This grand ball being the only important event of the day in Flagstaff, and the fact that most of our people will spend the day at home, 1t is needless to say that large concourse of our dancing fraternity will be in attend ance and merrily dance away the ex- piring hours of the national holiday of 1883.

Deati, on Outlaws.

At Gainsville, Texas, on June 20, report was received of the lynching of five horse thieves, which is in ad- dition to recent report that fifteen men had been hanged in two weeks. The efforts to suDstantiate the last mentioned report, resulted in positive proof of the ha nging a week ago near Headtown, of Frank Morgan. Gill Williams, a farmer living near Mud Creek, was suspected and persons de- tailed to watch him. Then it was learned that Williams had taken un. lawful possession of another mans horse, and thirty-two determined men visited his house and arrested him.
 Williams bade his family an affection ate farewell and told them if he did not return in two days they might know he was dead. Williams was then led several miles into some thick timber where they were met by anoth- CT party having in charge Frank Mor- gan and boy named Moore. By a unanimous vote the men decided to hang Williams and Morgan. Some contended that by reason of the boys youth that it was best to turn him loose with a moderate punishment, but it was finally decided that there were great probabilities of his becom- ing troublesome criminal, that it was better he should die. According ly the three were strung up on one limb. Some of the posse climbed up the limb and pressed their feet upon the shoulders of the criminals in or der that they might die quicker.

Death to tho Grixxlies.

From party of campers just in from Oak Creek, we learn that the woods are full of bar in that section and that the one with which Wilson had his deadly encounter returned to the scene for the first time since kill ing him.
 It was recognized by the track made by its woun ded foot. Wilson was buried hear the spot where he was killed and to protect his grave from dissertation by the coyotes it was covered with large boulders. These the bear had all removed and had dug the earth out of the grave within few inches of the body. Mir. How ard, a partner of Wilson's has been confined to hls cabin with rheuma- tism, but as soon as able not only ex- poets to kill the one who slayed his partner, but expects to be able to SC. cure others as we'll. He has already killed twelve and thinks he is good for dozen more this season. He realizes from the bounty paid by the county and from the hide, oil, etc., [, bounty $50 per carcass, making i' with reasonable success remunerative though hazardous occupation.

The Gonzales Block,

This week nearly brings to compile. ton one of the handsomest structures in our little city-the Gonzales build ing, now receiving finishing touches, and which has filled up the only va cant lot between San Francisco street and Gold avenue. The ground floor of this neatly constructed building is divided into two experiments for bus mess purposes, and a stairway, lead ing to the upper rooms. The smaller of the-tw lower rooms IS already in use as a barber shop, the same being conducted by MT. Bauer, a gen. tleman recently from Chicago. The spacious room adjoining the barber shop will, we understand, be filled with stock of drugs, etc., but by whom, we have not learned. The neatly finished rooms on the upper floor will be converted into business offices, for which they are we'll adapted. This building makes valuable addi. tion to the already metropolitan ap- pearance of Railroad Avenue.

In belittling efforts of G. H. Oury, late Delegate in Congress from Arizo- ma, Republican papers add fuel to the flames that are slowly but surely ere mating the Republican party. NIT: Oury was our Delegate for four years; little did he accomplish for us. He tried hard, but Republican Con- gress and Republican officials were deaf to his appeals. Promises were made; but not kept. It was the same when we had Republican Delegates. They made some points for themselves and their most intimate friends and cronies; none for Arizona.
 Republican Delegates served as fol- lows: Mi. Poston, one year; MT. Bashford, one year; Mir. Goodwin, one year; Mir. Mccormick, six years. These delegates secured some appro- priations for feeding Indians on paper and for carrying mails on horseback. That there were "dividends" in those days is known to every old resident. The San Carlos Indian reservation was made for the benefit of Mir. Nc Cormick and hisf"business" friends and for the injury of Arizona.
 Fact is, blam. for troubles that have oppressed can, with truth, be laid upon Republican administrations; not upon Mir. Oury or any other Demo cratic Delegate. MT. Campbell worked hard to have a fourth judge assigned to Arizona, but even that small boon was denied the Territory, mainly, we suppose, because Repub- lican administrations cared but little for a Democratic Territory. We have now in Washington Democratic ad- ministration and, by accident the Territory has Republican Delegate, but, this paper is not afraid to proph- ecy that the government will within the next year hearken to the prayers of Arizonians, settle the Indian ques- tion and give our people chance to work and build Ftp state without molessationt from spampered savages and their scoundrelly tempters, the Indian Ring.-Courier.

More Hear.

Messrs. Jeff and Lee Newman ar rived in Flagstaff Thursday night and related the particulars ofan experien
 they had one day this week which rather lays over any thing of the kind we have heard this season. While out hunting some lost horses near Mrs. Friar's ranch, about fifteen miles southwest of Flagstaff, they suddenly came upon monster female bear with two well-grown cubs. She being an unusually large specimen of her tribe, at once gave evidence of combat i've nature, and rising majestically up- on her hind parts with outstretched arms, gave very much of ''come-ln- to-camp" appearance. Unfortunate ly, all that the boys were possessed of in the way of firearms was a sir-shoof- CT, with which to tackle a bear would seem a very foolish and precarious undertaking, and which certainly would be under other circumstances, but the boys being we'll mounted up on good horses, had much the advan- tage of her. majesty. So Jeff sailed in, the chambers of his six-shooter being emptied in rapid succession, all of which took effect, but not suf- ficient to overpower the animal. Re- loading, he again resumed the firing, but not until eleOen of the leaden mis- siles had penetrated her body was she willing to give up the ghost. The boys say she gave most desperate fight, at times chasing them for ma ny rods and keeping close on the horses heels. The cubs escaped, but the boys were quite we'll satisfied in securing the scalp of the old one, which they will receive a bounty on.

A Definition of Aristoc ocracy.

'H like the Americans immensely" said an Erglishman who had been hospitably entertained in America. 'l like them immensely, but miss something" "What is taatl" asked his Yankee host. 'I miss the aristo- cracy," replied the Englishman. "What are they1" "The aristocracyl" said the nobleman surprised, "Why, they are people who do nothing, you know; whose grandiathers did noth- ing, you know--in fact, the aristocra. cy." "Oh,". sad. the American, smiling, twelve plenty of them over here; but we don't call them aristo- cracy-we call them tranps.
