over on the bayou, has offered me his
fast mare, that he bought in New Or
leans, for 800. Now, 1 know how much
you like that pet horse of yours, but
prefer him to Fagot's and I came over to
see if you would sell. If Boucta was
here I know I could make trade"
The young lady was looking him now
squarely in the eye. With every word
he uttered her face grew paler and paler.
"Sieur Hsreese! Stop right dare. ]

Yo bar de most awefullest man what

and she rushed to her room and threw
herself on the bed.
Harris was staggered. He could not
account for the strange actions of the
young lady. He knew he had said
nothing to wound her feelings. But
why this outburstf At last it dawned
upon him that the lady had misinter-
preted his visit as one of wooing. It
struck him all of a heap. Such thought
had never entered his mind. He could
hear her sobs from an inner room, and
they touched him. After all, it mig bit
be better for him to take a wife. He
had become tired Of living alone. As he
looked across the prairie dotted with cat
tie, some of them his own, he reflected
over the matter. He might do worse
Alosine was not bad looking, and was q
good domestic girl. Yes, he would try
It. He called to her, but no answer came,
Then he arose and approached her room.
He was met with volley of shrieks.
"Alosine, my darling, will you take
me now. 1t is you, and not the horse I
want"
Alasl his words fell upon q deserted
house. He had hesitated before the
closed door. He felt that it would not
be proper for him to enter, so he called
II G6uOSE tOlCo. d1O6lu0! AlO6lu0I
but everything was silent. Fleet as a
deer the young lady had fed over the
prairie, and sbe never heard the affection
ate call of her now lover.
He turned, mounted his pony, and
rode homeward, regretting that he had
the timed Aosine.
The brother, Boucts, called upon him
the next day for an explanation. when
Harris told ct Alosine's misrepresentation
Of his object and bargain was made for
her pet horse. Not word did Harris
say of his sudden resolution to ask the
girls hand. The episode had, however
attracted his attention to matrimony,
and few months later he espoused Gus
tavine Florief, of Bayou Vermilion. 1t
was only after his marriage that be told
The story on himself, which, coming to
Alosone ears, sent her to bed sick.
Sitting on that gallery of the Ponpon
house an old lady can still be seen of
but no horseman ever alights
beneath the china tree near her home.
Her one golden opportunity had gone.

that if 'Sieur Hareese waited. for hel
brother day would be lost, and in such
affairs q day means an eternity. So,
holding her sunbonnet before her face,
just low enough to permit her big black
eyes to peer over the edge, she said:
"Spose mi brudder no come teel dee eeb-
ening, weel 20 tax seat han wait TO i'm ~
81 can't wait. You see I've got to de-

She was cure the eventful hour had
arrived. She looked into the open door
at the front room. Surely, the 'Hsre-
csc" house was better than this. She
knew of his carpeted Aeors, marbletop
tables and handsome pictures, and she
yearned to become their mistress. She
resolved to draw him out at once.
"Aleck"-it was the first time she
had ever pronounced that name aloud,
and she trembled at her sudacity, but
she must go on. '.Aleck, hi weoed be
much 'bliged ef 20 wooed speak to me

Aleck Harris looked mp into her face
squarely and frankly. He had not the
slightest suspicion Of what had caused
those deep blnshes and bright sparkle in
those eyes. He was q mere babe in such
matters.
"Well, If must, why I must, but I

THE POLITICAL outlook In Virginia
is becoming very encouraging TO the
Republicans. Since the Bourbon over
throw in Richmond, its strongest cits-
del in the State, the Democrats have
lost heart. Senator Malone, who they
said was politically dead, is becoming
the liveliest little political corpse in the
State. 1t Is conceded that the Rspub-
ucans will not only hold the two dis
tricts they already have in the State,
but that they will gain three more.
Virginia is too large for a pocket Dor.
ough to be carried about Ia the pockets
OF any one, and the people down there
VIII vigorously protest against their
State being pocketed by Bourbons and

into the ranks of Republican States
has only been temporarily checked
