young woman, that the man who per-

the presence of witnesses and the

the marriage legal. 1t was carried to
the courts and so decided. Behold me,

THE VICTIM
OF HIS
CLIO THES
By Howard Fielding and Frederick r. Burton.
lCoPYRIGHT, 1901

His eyes were fixed at the moment
upon rent in his trousers which ad-
mitted small detachment of cool,
morning breeze fresh from the sea.
The smile on his face gave way to an ex-
preston of disgust, and he sat up in
sudden irritation. This movement
caused sharp pain to shoot across his
back, which reminded him that the way
of the transgressor is hard.
And then the full, delightful, cussed-
ness of the situation dawned upon him.
What should he do? What could he do?
He sat up again and looked hopeless
PAGES away was young woman,
evidently servant Of some kind, for her
dress was Of plain material, set off with
big white cuffs at the sleeves, and such
a frill of lace at the neck as only
ladies' maids wear. Her face was con-
cealed by kerchief which she held to
her eyes, and which Mr. Drane doubted
not was in a process of lachrymose
drenching. He watched her with
languid interest, wondering stupidity
what brought her there at such an
hour, whether she had been locked out
and feared reprimand or discharge
when she should go home, whether,
perhaps, she, too, had INDUCED too free
ly in-bah! Mr.. Dranc recoiled in pro-
found horror at the suggestion. Was
it possible that q mere accidental
change in circumstances, the mere &C
coutrements of tho slums, should make
him capable of entertaining for an in
slant such a thought about woman?
Was man to be the victim of his gar
ments?
In silent reparation for his unuttered
offense Mr.. Drane began vigorously TO
think all manner of pretty things about
tho unhappy young woman, insisting to
himself that she must be beautiful, in
nocent, injured, lovely and so on, until
presently, his adjectives having been
three times exhausted, he had worked

be free from him. l was in this half
tormented spirit when we met one night
at private house for rehearsal.
''He was always insisting that we
should go over our love scenes again
and again, and tho others who under
stood the situation sided with him. At
the end of that evening, having teased
me as much as possible, he suggested
that we carry the story of our play to
its logical conclusion by rehearsing a

better before the altar If he had learned
how to go through the motions The
others, silly young things! were fired
with the idea and without further
thought arranged the furniture so as to
represent an altar, the chancel rail and
all that"
"a very reprehensible proceeding"
commented Mr.. Drane. The young
woman was about to proceed when q
gray-coated officer, one Of those guardi-
ans Of public parks ironically known
as sparrow chasers," stepped up and
addressed Mr.. Drane:
''Say. yous, do you think nobody else
don't want to sit down? l let you sleep
of your jag here, see? an it's bout time
you moved on, see?"
Mr.. Drane was about to resent the in
reference when the young woman
whispered:
''Say nothing and obey?"
So they rose, and followed for a mo-
ment by the policeman's curious eyes,
walked along the winding path to an
other bench, where they sat down again.
''Oficious impudencer' muttered Mr..
Drane.
''Never mind" said the young woman,
soothingly, The has to do something to

HOW the Country Lawyer OutSenCr1lo0
His CITY Adverssries.
"Gentlemen of the jury" said the
lawyer in homespun, as he took of his
coat, rolled up his shirt-sleeves, and
leaned confidentially over the railing
that separated him from the twelve,
''the city lawyers that's been brough,
here to help the prosecution in this
case have done their part pretty
tolerable we'll. They have proved that
my client confessed to some Of his
cronies that he committed the crime.
They have proved that he's drunken,
worthless loafer and bad lot generally.
My client swears to you, gentlemen Of
the jury, that he's innocent. He swears
to you, gentlemen Of the jury, that he
warn't within forty mile of that place
when this crime was committed. But
my friends from the city have impeached
him. They have proved by about two
dozen witnesses that a bigger liar than
he is don't walk the earth. They have
proved that you can't believe him even
on oath.
81 say they have proved it, gentlemen
of the jury. Icoufess it. He's a mean,
sneakin', ornery cuss, and don't mind
telling you that I'm ashamed to defend
him. But, gentlemen Of the jury" con-
tinued the lawyer in homespun, raising
his voice till the windows of the old
courthouse shook, ''if you can't believe
him on oath you can't believe him when he
amt on oath, and when he confessed to
them friends of his that he done the
dreadful deed he told 'em a lie! There
amt no escape from it, gentlemen. He
was lying! That's all there is about it.

about her. He longed to see her face.
but that she kept persistently con-
cealed; to hear her voice, but not even
low sob rewarded his attentive ear. A
moment more and he would have re-
sumed his miserable self-contemplation,
but his interest in the young woman
was sustained by an unexpected cpl
sode.
Across the park came strolling idly a
man such as the night wanderer in New
York may meet at any hour. He wore
an approved silk hat and the complete
uniform Of an evening diner. The col
lar of his light overcoat was turned up
about his neck, but it was not buttoned.
1t was clear that he had dined wisely
and played with a cool head afterwards
and was now going home on principle,
holding it as canon of gentlemanly be-
havior that one should always be in bed
by sunrise.
Mr.. Drane did not observe this vision
OF prosperous Incidence until it paused
directly before the weeping young
woman. It was clear that the man
addressed her, for she started sud-
denly and took her kerchief from her
eyes. Mr.. Drane's brows contracted
and he watched the scene with more
than curiosity. He saw the young man
step nearer to the bench. put out his
hand towards the young woman and
move as if he would sit down beside her.
He saw the young woman rise hastily
and try to walk away, but the man laid
his hand upon her shoulder. A second
later and Drane had seized the fellows
wrist with grip that made the joint
crack. Then he doubled the arm he
held across the others chest 50 suddenly
that ne was flung back q pace or two.
"You internal tramp cried the fellow,
and he was following it up with Ian
guage much stronger when Mr.. Drane
interrupted him.
''Speak.a single word that fails in re-
spec: to this woman" said he, ''or raise
your finger to do her an injury, and III
break every bone in your bodyr'
''Well, take the chippie and"

To the Gazette:
Quanah, the future metropolis of
Northwest Texas, is still booming. Three
two-stroy stone buildings started in
course of construction this week. In ad-
dition to those buildings, arrangements
have been made with Eastern capitalists
to erect a large elevator, one of the
largest in the state. The city dads are
class system of waterworks in full blast,
and we are safe in saying that the project
will be carried out in a short time. Tn
less some one will put up a roller mill :,
local capitalists Will take hold of the
matter in few days and build one them
selves. There are about 100 buildings in
course of construction in Quanah, and
many more will be built this summer.
There seems to be no let up in the build
ing OF stone houses and nice dwellings.
We have about dozen business men
waiting for business houses to be COM
pleted, and there ism t vacant business
house or dwelling in the city. Quanah
merchants get the trade for distance of
100 miles north and southwest. This, of
course, gives US a large trade.
The county is fast filling up with farm
ers and small stockmen. There are few
farmers IN Hardeman county but what
own small bunch OF cattle. Lying in
all directions from Quanah are large
bodies OF as fine agricultural lands as can
be found any place on earth, no place
excepted. Beautiful streams of running
water course through the country every
few miles, and good water can be OBJ
tanned by digging at from thirty to sixty
feet almost any place in the county.
Nearly all the farmers own as much as
$40 acres. There are few small farms.
A farmer who will hold on TO this amount
of land for few years will be indepen-
dent. Strange thing to US that q
person can be contsnted with an
eighty acre farm in older counties
when they could obtain $40 acres of just
as good land here with the amount of
capital he has invested in his eighty
acres.
This country has q bright future, and
the honesseker or capitalist will find il
TO their advantage TO investigate.
Come and look at Quanah and Harde-
man county, and we feel safe in predict
ing that you Will be well pleased.

mothers studied this sleeve question.
Look at some of your old portraits for
sleeve effects.
But l saw ball costume the other
day, which. in the matter OF sleeves,
was as full of thought as one of Brown
ings poems and of grace as a Tennysonian
idyl. They consisted of tulle, be-
,spangled with jet, were of the so-called
angel pattern and we're thrown back
and fastened to the waist whence they
spread over the train. The inside sleeve
was made up entirely of chaplets of jet,
which were joined in one place only on
the outside of the arm and fell in q
shower TO the elbow. All, it was real
poem and its author is as much entitled
to Immortality as these makers OF word
chaplets.
