She sat down, however, and fell into a
muse, and look of unwonted gravity ruled
her face and features for a time. Probably
she was recalling past scenes; for two or three
times she shook her head with kind of re-
Elective sadness, until she was rouseo by the
second chime which had sounded since she
last sat down.

And changing her mind she again stepped
over, and, finding the door ajar as she left it,
she entered the room once more. The lamp
was still burning, but Sophia was in bed, and
her silence indicated, sleeping. The mother
walked softly across and looked at her
daughter.
She was fast asleep. The night was warm,
and she had thrown back the quilt little
and her arm, her brown hair, and glimpse
of her white and innocent breast, together
with the repose of her expression, made up
picture which many yam artist would have given
a years income to paint She looked the
very image of purity and peace, and even
little Mrs. Barbara, who was shot-proof
against most forms of emotion, felt moisture
stealing into her eyes as she gazed. She bent
a little down, and then she saw that the face,
now so calm, had been traversed by recent
tears. Yes, Sophia had been crying since
she lay down, and she had fallen asleep with
wetted cheeks.
Something in her hand caught the mothers
eye, and she looked closer still Her hand was
beside her face, and the little article she held
was. placed so that her sleeping lips just
touched it. With great caution and stiffness,
Mrs. Barbara Temple lowered her eyes, and,
stopping and stretching, she managed to see
what her daughter was holding. 1t was

lin one Of the passages of his narrative, my
old friend, when speaking of "Prendergast, -
uttered the proloun a." As this escaped his
lips, he tried to catch back his word, and red
dened a little. The secret was out, of course;
but seeing his confusion, affected not to
have noticed anything. This artifice, how
ever, did not deceive him. and he Immediately
told me that he was himself the Prendergast
of the story, and an old lover of Sophia
Temple l have thought it well to inform my
reader of this fact; but, for convenience Of
narration, 1 shall continue to describe "Pren-

To introduce him afresh, speaking in the first
person singular, would, l find, embarrass
both writer and reader1
Greatly was Mrs. Barbara Temple disap-
pointed when the day came for leaving Paris,
and still Prendergast had made no further
sign What could it meant He was the last
man in the world to play the coquette mas

the Irritation posture toward Sophia in his
sober sort of way Why advance so far, and

quietly signiied to Prendergast, by one of
those tokens with which loves intercourse
abounds, that she loved him not. And he,
retiring, and even difident had taken the
hint submissively.

And she had her reward To her great Joy,
no sooner had they returned to Kettlewen
than Prendergast appeared on the scene
again, and his attitude toward Sophia had
not shifted by hairs breadth. Evidently,
then, Sophia had not repulsed him after all.

herself. ut is a good maxim: Never be

Prendergast's coming to Kettlewel was In
a marked way He did not stay with any
body, but put up at the hotel; and, when he
called on the Temples, he said that he had
run over for a few days, in the hope of in
creasing the pleasant acquaintance with
themselves.
Mrs. Barbara Temple bean4ed on him onS
of her brightest looks

He spoke quietly; and Mrs. Temple, glanc-
ing at her daughter, saw her bend over her
little morsel of lacework with crimson
cheek.
''She knows now, at all events" the mother
said triumphantly.
And when Prendergast took his leave, Mrs
Temple resolved fairly to open her mind to
Sophia.

A Much Married man who Captured

A recent special from Fort Smith, Ark,
tells the following story: J. T. Holley,
alias w. G. Wallace, alias W. O. Willis,
OF Water Valley, Miss, was lodged in the
United States jail here last night on a
charge of bigamy, having been arrested
at Jonesboro, this State, on Saturday last,
by Deputy Marshalls Pettigrew and
Carroll, who have been after him for some
time. He has wife and four children
at Water Valley, Miss, another at Bir-
mingham, Ala, third at Trussvllle,
Ala, whose name was Mary Eaton a
iourth at Webber's Falls, Cherokee Ma
ton, with one or two others to hear from.
He came out here some time ago and
went into business in tho Cherokee Ma
ion under the name Of Wallace, but was
caught in some crooked transactions and
his goods were attached. While at Web
ber's Falls Miss James came out from
Tennessee on visit to brother, and
forming the acquaintance of Wallace,
married him. Last June lie left her and
went to Jonesboro, Ark, where he as
umed the name of Willis and made
I'VE to widow. They were married,
when a dispatch came from Water Valley,
Miss, where he was wanted for embez
sement aud gaming, to arrest him. He
was taken to Water Valley, and after
emaining in Jail one month, was released
m bond and skipped again for Jonesboro.
In the meantime the brother of Miss
lanes came here and swore out war
rant against him for bigamy, and the
f1icer traced him to Water Valley and
from there to Jonesboro. His chances
