CHAPTER II.
AN INDIsCRETION.

Mrs Seton was the wife Of the senior
major of the Blankshre regiment. i
pretty little woman who had been brought
up i'm a gay London set half society and
half bohemian. She was very much in
love with her slow and stolid lord and
master, and stood by him through many
a duh and drcary time when her natural
inclination would have prompted her 10

her mothers pleasant house III South

hampton. Il never was in such (. hole in
my life went out with Tom this morn
ing, Just for the sake Of walking along the
streets with some one, and every one
looked at me from under their eyclashes
as if they weren't sure whether it was
quite proper to be seen with q man in uni
form or not. And then this afternoon
some people came and called, ell women Of
course | asked one il the theatre here

day was, but she said she didn't have u

always pleased to see her friends if they
would take her as they found her; so
suppose if she happened to be ia bed with
an influenza cold she would receive in her
bedroom. | only hope" the little woman
went on, that may be lucky enough TO
call on that good lady when She is not in
the house"
"Oh, go when you know she is out,
suggested Jim. cooly.
Trust me for that if can, returned
Mrs. Seton. nodding her head knowingly.
"Still, | must confess it puzzles me TO
think why she wanted to know me at all.
She never goes 10 balls; they're like the
theatres, they wouldn't do IN our posi-

with interest.
II don't know at all: very uncomfort-
able one, should think, Mrs. Seton re-
piled.
However, the months had gone by, and
the Blankshirc regiment had settled down
very comfortably. and had come, as other
regiments had done before them, 10 look
upon Blankhampton as an unusually de-
sirable station.
But first and foremost in all schemes
and plans for enjoyment was little
Mrs. Seton, who loved the world
dearly and paid herself in liberal coin Of
pleasure every day for sticking SO faith
fully to her gallant if stolid Tom, the
major. Nothing Of a pleasuring kind
could be organized without her, and moth
ers and daughters alike regarded her rs
an unmitigated blessing--a sort Of social
fairy godmother.
She had one of the very pleasantest
houses in Blankhampton, and seemed
never SO happy as when it was full Of
people. unless indeed yAu took exception
to such times rs she made one of a crush
elsewhere. She was firt, OF course,

Shame Upon Him

From the Lyons Republican we gain
the following statement of an assault
upon a newspaper man of that city
which does not speak very hatteringly
of the man Cowderly:

in the PrOhibitiOniSt last week in reply
to some miss-statements made by Cow
derly in an Ohio paper. If Mr.. Cow
derly ever had friend in the commun-
ity, he certainly lost it by this assault,
and talk of tar and feathers was free
ly indulged in by our outraged and in
dignant citizens, while Mr.. Hodgdon is
the hero of the hour, with friends on
every side. Mr.. Cowderly will fink our
if he does not already know it, that
this community has no use for a bull

serve his own interests and the pleasure
of our people by leaving the state and

the power and majesty OF the law may
be visited to its full extent upon Mr..
Cowderly is the devout wish of every

Kansas Leads.

Kansas had larger enrolment at
the Chicago meeting of the National
Education Association than had any
other state in proportion to the number
of teachers in the state. Even Illinois
was beaten on her own ground. Prof.
J. n. Wilkinson, of the state normal
school, of Emporia, says the prospect
is good that we shall take the lead in
the San Francisco meeting next July.
He is working up the Kansas excursion
and every one who sees any chance of
going, whether Il teacher OF not, should
write him, to learn rates and attractions
and should go if possible, and thus
help swell the boom.

KANSAS.
The Wonder OF the Century in her
Marvellous Development.

! Praise of Kansas comes from all
points of the globe; her fame reaches
out into all lands, and their comes a
time when all men read and wonder at
her history. A few lines from the
Pueblo, Colo, Cbiettain, neighbor on
our west, and one who has profited by
the example set by Kansas, will be
found Of interest:
1.-The entire State of Kansas has been
developed by the most persevering and
ambitious men the world ever knew.
They have in few years developed
one of the largest States in the Union.
They have spread network of rail-
roads so completely over it's surface
that any man in the state is but a
few hours ride from a railroad station.
They have covered the state from one
end to the other with the most prosper
GUS cities and towns. But few if any
citizens ever came to the State bring
ing much money with them, but by en-
ergy, pluck and perseverance they have
built up the grandest and most lasting
monument to the American people that
has ever been dreamed of. The devel-
opment of the State of Kansas in its
marvellous feat of toWn-building is one
of the marvels of the nineteenth CEN
tury, and there are many lasting and
valuable lessons to be learned from the
history of that State. Thousands of
fortunes have been made from small
investments, and hundreds of towns,
with few if any natural advantages for
making town, sprung up like magic
and became noted, the citizens of
which naturally accumulated wealth
and position. And still the work of
development has only just begun. The
state is not yet i'll its thirtieth year,
and yet it stands at the head of the
nation in many respects

Twenty Dollar Ante.

what is the ante?' whispered a

piece to the deacon with the collection
plate in the Baptist church at Black
Run, Col. He was told to contribute
whatever he chose, whereupon he said
he'd chip in a dollar, and proceeded to
take SO in change. The deacon softly
replied that no change was given. a
struggle ensued, the plate upset, and
the congregation was in the act of
jumping the deacon's claim when the
minister, an old Californian, leaned
over the pulpit with a large navy re-

yestIbule Trains To Chicago.

The Vestibule train is a new factor
in western railroad transportation. 1t
is claimed for these trains that on
account of their being connected by
steel hoods all danger of telescoping in
case of accident is removed, the train
being practically one continuous car.
1t is certain that the oscillation of the
cars is greatly reduced, and it is also
certain that the vestibule trains afford
the greatest comfort yet known to
travellers. The adoption Of this style
of train by the Chicago, Santa Fe d
California Railway between Kansas
City and Chicago is a strong bid for
the passenger traffic between the
West and Chicago. This new road is
in many particulars ahead Of any of
its older competitors, and will .un-
doubtedly be the popular road to
Chicago.
