An Indiana paper SAWS: 81

An Indiana paper says: Look
ing over an old ledger we see a
long array Of names of former
subscribers Who are indebted to
us. Some of them have moved
away and are lost to sight, althou-
gh to memory dear. Others are
carrying the contribution boxes
in our most respectable churches,
and others again have died and
are now angels in heaven; but
they owe us just the same" This
is probably stretch of the ina
gination. The man who refuses
to pay for the newspaper he reads
steals what little information he
has, and has no chance of going
to heaven and being on familiar
terms with angels.-Picayune.

CHAPTER xxx
THE MEETING OF THE LOVERS.


The two men whom Pauline Corsi
met on her way from the house of Si!as
Craig to the Villa Moraqaitos, are not
entirely strangers to us.
We saw them last in the solitude of
California, living life of labor, far
from all civilized society.
They only reached New Orleans up
on the evening after the slave auction,
and when Pauline Corsi met them,
they were in search of an hotel where
they could spend the night.
In outward appearance, they were
very much altered from the day when
we last beheld them.
Their rough garments were ex-
changed for the fashionable attire of
gentlemen, and their bearing harmon
lied well with the change in their COS
tune.
Pauline COrSl met these two gOld-dig-
gers.
They entered the hotel, and were inn
mediately conducted to a handsomely
furnished, and brilliantly lighted apart
mont upon the first floor.
The elder Of the two men. the one
who had called himself Smith, flung
himself into an easy chair, after dis
missing the waiter with an order for
couple OF bottles OF clarnL and sairZer
water, and looked complacently round
the room.
The younger man walked to the open
window, from which he watched the
receding form of Pauline CorSi, who,
after observing the two men enter the
hotel, hurried onward toward the end
of the deserted street.
"This is little better than the dig
gings, eh, Brown" said Smith.
His companion seemed scarcely to
hear him.
That girls figure reminds me" he
muttered. "Dut pShaw. what foolish
fancies have added my brain! she is
far away on the shores of another con-
tinent."
What are you muttering about over
there?" said Smith, who was evidently
in high spirits; come here, and drink
a tumbler of claret and lets talk of our
plans. Tonight has brought us to the
end of our journey. The time for ST.
lence is past, the hour has come il
which we are to speak freely"

Remember: I ask your confidence
from no spirit of idle curiosity, and.
unless you can give it as freely as |
give you mine. withhold it altogether"
Brown held out his hand, and graSped

tween u.s. will he the first To sneak.
