AS beWildered as panied, he stood ST.
lent and motionless few moments, star
ing at the door which had closed between
him and the object Of his affections.
Some vague idea of refusing to accept
his rejection evidently traversed his
mind, for he took hasty step or two to-
wards the entrance.
A burst of sObs from within arrested
this movement, causing him to realize
that an intrusion at that moment was
entirely out of the question.
He must wait in patience for the pres
ent, coming again on the morrow.
Facing about abruptly, he descended
the steps of the Veranda where the inter
view had taken place, crossing the lawn
towards the adjacent meadow, with the
air of man walking at random.
AS he did so, he suddenly became con-
sciOus that the shades of evening were
beginning to gather around him.
How thankful he was for the friendly
veil thus thrown over his sorrow.
Darkness and night were just what he
wanted at that moment.
His one necessity was to have time to
think, that he might form some plan Of
conjuring the dire calamity which had
destroyed his present happiness and was
menacing his entire future.
In what a daZed state he Wasi
He could not even form a coherent
theory as to the motive or reason under
lying Jessie's rejection of his suit.
He did not doubt the reality Of the
@curse" of which she had spoken, OF
rather her entire and earnest conviction
of its reality, but he could form no con-
ception of its actual nature.
Yet he made the attempt, then and
there, as was natural, asking himself al
sorts Of questions, and passing In review
ell sorts of conjectures-
To begin with, he knew from the con-
fdences of Mrs. Moreland and Jessie, as
casually presented during nearly yeal
of friendly relations with them, that the
head Of their family, Mr.. Walter More
land, had been a good husband and
father, and q man Of excellent character
and reputation, whom they had lost WheI
Jessie was mere baby.
He had received some hints, too, In the
course of his conversation with th'
mother and daughter, of the existence
and character of man named RadC
Moreland, an unworthy and disSOlutt
brother-in-laW and uncle who was IL
some way troubling their existence,
And finally he had heard both Mrs
Moreland and Jessie speak repeatedly o.
a kindly and generous brother, Col. Bar
ton Ridley, an East Indian merchan'
millionaire who had done so much t.
brighten the lonely lives Of his sister AMI
niece that they could never tire of talk
ing about him.
There had been nothing secret or mis-
leading, therefore, In the dealings Of tn,
mother and daughter with the younC

study of the General In all his moods
and marking his characteristics. He
has studied with an artists eye, and
as a result has produced statue in
every line of which character is
strongly marked. He has selected the
moment when Logan took command
after the fall of Mcpherson. The
General has just ridden to the front,
and an expression of firmness, ready
for action, is upon his face. The ex-
preston of boldness and confidence is
modified and given gravity by deep
sense of responsibility. The horse
has been checked and Is paving the
ground.
In the Generals left hand the reins
are held loosely. and in his right,
which hangs freely at his side, he holds
his hat Just as he has taken it from
his head, by the crown. he is paying
no attention to his horse, which he sits
firmly, as If unconscious of the steed,

A WINTER SCENE.
BY HOWARD c. TRIP.


Upon mountains crest stand
And look upon the world below;
The landscape is a silver land
OF Wave-lize drifts and shining snow.
The tall and slender pines uplift
Their steeples ia the purple air;
The crimson surgeons sway and shift
Ger distant mountains dim and fair.
A misty cloud floats Ger the sea
And drops in snOw-pearls softly down
Into the vale in front of me.
And hides from sight the little town
That stands below distant ledge,
Near by the oceans sandy beach,
That seems TO be the very edge
OF this fair wOrld-just out OF reach.
The skies grow bright, the sun appears
An arc of phOsphOreScent fire;
Mine eyes grow dim with unshed tears,
My heart is pulsing with desire;
wish that could rule the sun,
Could stop at once his sudden flight,
And paint these beauties every one
Before the coming of the night
Each distant mount is getting dim,
The valleys look like shadOW-barS;
The sun drops Ger the oceans rim,
And night comes on, the moon and stars
Seem like pale specters OF the air
That are by turns both dim and bright
And this grand scene so richly fair
Has vanished in the mist OF night.
KINGSLEY, Iowa.
