Jack Turner'S thumbr"
In the general laugh which followed you
could see Turner's wild gesticuistions, and
when the merrlment subsidized he blurted
out, threateningly: "Ferris, If yon love your
existence, your friends and your country,
don't dare to ever have another vision at
my expense"
He might have said more, perhaps, but
the boys all joined in such hearty merri-
ment that he touched his cap and turned
on his heel.
Well, we went back to Danville, feeling
that we were the victims of practical Joke
or some strategic performance perpetrated
by some unknown party.
But how easily it was explained when we
struck Danville! And when once made
plain weren't we mad again! The Yankee
risibilities came to the seething surface and
every body ground his molars and wished
to get even.
Jack Turner forgot Burt's vision long
enough TO swear in four different languages
as fiuently as if each had been his mother
tongue, and VOW that ''if the Lord would
Just give him the opportunity he'd lick the
whole Bragg army with his ramrod."
You see, this was the way we were
fooled. Rebel General Bragg had been at
Crab Orchard, and wanting to pass his
troops through Danville in order to strike
Louisville, knew that he could not without

which sought to bring her former poverty
to her mind.
"Why!'' said Mrs. Stanford, elevating
her eyebrows with well-affected surprise.
Because she is selfish, cruel woman"
replied Isabel, with more heat than she had
shown since she had become Mrs. Faiconer,

"Purple pansies shall be my flowers when

she stood by the glass, while skillful Mrs.
Gould took out stitch here and there in
the drapery, and looped it more artistically
'Yes, Mrs. Falconer," she replied, ''there
is harmony between the sweet pure
flowers and white which all do not recog-
nize; to my mind there is nothing so purely
elegant in dress as white lace, and this
creamy stuff is of such delicate pattern"
The riding habit came also, and fitted
beautifully. Isabel had a fine form and
carriage, and was capable of great improve
ment under the Transforming touch Of dress,
and the dark navy blue of her habit was
very becoming. as well as the hat, with its
long, dropping feather, which reached
nearly to her shoulder and mingled grace
fully with her curls, which she wore habit
ually now, as Mr.. Falconer liked to see
them.
"a suitable length of time in which to
dress is a luxury in ITSELF" said Isabel, as
she stood before her mirror brushing her
hair, and recalled Nine. Arnot's, where the
tired girls were obliged to be on duty at
such an hour, under all circumstances. 81

her the day before.

''Then be ready, and Tom will have the
horses at the door in half hour" he said,
as he turned to go down.
The pretty chestnut mare arched her neck
coquettishly as her new mistress appeared.
Isabel loved a horse dearly, though she had
of late years had little opportunity Of cul-
tivating their acquaintance, but she ad-
mired their dainty thoroughbred ways,
and could tell fine horse almost as readily

Tom had taken the horses, and Mrs. Stan
ford had time to brace herself and put on
her most aristocratic air before Isabel, fol-
lowed by her husband, entered the room.
Mrs. Stanford had made no allowances
for the identifying effects Of happiness,
the change which ''peace and plenty"
coming into a starved, cramped life
can make, and she could scarcely
believe her eyes when she saw her
brothers wife and recognized shat homely
grip in the tall. graceful creature, the
once thin face plump and rudy, the eyes,
heavy with overwork and Encouragement,
now bright and sparkling, and she COM

respect as if presenting Duchess he said:

rhn $500 of Chihnahua.

The wonderful mineral wealth OF the
state of chihuahua has long been known,
but until recently the incessant raids of
the hostile Apaches rendered prospecting
and mining in the distant mountain
ranges too dangerous to be attempted, so
wear after year the mineral regions have
remained unexplored. The capture OF
Geronimo and his savage band freed the
country of Z e scourge which so ehectually
prevented its development, and no sooner
was the fact announced than hun
dreds of prospectors began to venture
far into the unknown regions to the west
of the railway line. A new impetus was
given to mining, and now after the lapse
of a year the wonderful results can be
readily seen.
The whole country looks differently
from what it did year ago, and evidences
of energy and enterprise are met with OH
every side. New mines have been dis
covered and old ones opened up again.
American machinery is arriving on every
train and the crude methods of former
DAYS are giving place to the most i'm
urovcd systems of modern times. On the
street it is q rare thing to encounter a
man or woman who is not properly
clothed, and even the household utensils
and implements Of labor are generally OF
modern make. A few years ago the rude
cart with its solid wooden wheels was the
only vehicle in use, but today the streets
of Chihuahua are filed with the best
wagons and carriages of American manu-
facturc.-Cor. Globc-DemOcrat.

Ii IS true, nearly all of them went out of

excepting on rare occasions for the
