A RECREANT OFFICER
And a New Deputy Constable
at Tempe.
Antonio Avriel Tries to Stand Be-
tween the Law and Houses
oflli Fame.

Constable Fellows yesterday deprived
his former deputy Antonio Avriel of
his badge OF office land discharged him
at once and in his place appointed b.
B. Matley who is now deputy constable
of the Tempe precinct. The rouble
arose over the fact that Antonio Avriel
refused to serve warrants on two Mex
lean women by the name OF Victoria
and Vehimia, Both these women are
prostitutes, but seemed to have the
friendship of the deputy constable and
not wishing to see them in any trouble
he refused to serve any legal papers on
them. When Constable Fellows heard
of this yesterday afternoon he At once
discharged Avriel and made the arrests
himself. The women were charged
with committing a misdemeahor; the
particular offence charged is said to
have taken place on last Sunday March
18th.
Avrie's action yesterday in part ex-
plains his failure to keep peace in east
Tempe and although several complaints
had been made to him he failed even to
arrest any OF the offending parties.
Constable Fellows should not be held
responsible for this for as the Tempe
precinct is large one he had the right
to place iull confidence in his deputy
whose special duty was to be in East
Temye while Fellows devotes most Of
his time in the south side, and the
south side has never had better order
than it enjoys at present.

much to the dread and against the adj

the impression that we were still an

life would be in constant danger from
the Indians and Mexicans who lived
here. Only week ago he received a

CHAPTER XII.

September was nearly gone. Already
The leaves had taken on that hectic flush
that precedes death. In the early N )rp-
ing there was a GOODNESS in the air, fore
runner of an untimely frost But when
the sun arose and drove away the fog on
the distant hills summer reigned again AMI
warm soft breeze wandered across the
valley and whispered to the reddenng
foliage a tale of love- And as they heard
it the quivering leaves blushed deeper still.
Again the college campus was astir with
life and youthful voices re-echoed from
classic walls. New faces met the eve.
beardless, exulant, proud-for in the first
week of his student-life a Freshman feels a
self-importance that finds expression in
his every look. Perhaps in the years to
come honors will fall thick upon him bat
never again will his heart thrill with the
joy he now takes in the fascinating fact
that his school-boys days are past. He
walks with jaunty air, he frees his mind
boldly in the presence Of upper classmen,
he tondles opinions on countless college
topics about which he knows little, and it
may be that he even goes so far as to adj
dress a Senior by his first name. Mean
while the crafty Sophomore smiles slylv to
himself and whispers to a classmate {:

CHAPTER XIII.

10 Alice lnman the summer had been a
dream of Joy. TO the delights of travel
was added the intoXication that the pres
ence of the man she loved begot. Harlan,
with more discretion than his impulsive
nature often showed had after that night
in London, remained silent regarding his
hopes, but they both knew that they were
in fact, if not by word, betrothed
There was a peculiar fascination to Har-
Ian about this unavowed bond. He seemed
to have found a calm, peaceful sunny har-
Dor after tempestuous voyage in storm
swept seas. The gentle womanhood re-
vealed to him during those weeks of travel
soothed his soul, taught him that hereto
fore his conception of human nature had
been narrow and unjust, made him for the
| time less selfish, more manly.
Was it strange that for Alice and Harlan

ct am very glad" What did those words
mean? AS Harlan Otis held for moment
the cold hand Of Alice he wondered if her
remark had referred to his unexpected ar
rival. Their eyes met, but he was not en-
lightened by her glance. Perhaps she was
pleased to see him. but her pale face was
non-commlttai In its expression as she ut
tered the requisite ceremonious words Of
mingled surprise and welcome.
This is, indeed, an unexpected pleas
ure, Mr.. Otis" she remarked quietly Il
did not know that you contemplated a
European trip"
The young man gazed at her in silence
moment and then grasped the outstretched
hand Of John Upper lnman. The honor
bestowed by such clasp was appreciated
by our hero, for he flushed slightly as the
famous American said impressively
" Mr.. Otis, we are delighted to see you.
trust that you left our great republic in
its usual condition of prosperity and ad-
vancement."
"Yes-I think did" answered Harlan,
somewhat dazed by the broad grasp of the
ex-diplomat's remark. The fact was that
our hero did not feel qualified to testify
as to the existing status Of Dakota, Louisi-
ana, or other remote corners of his native
land.
p" regret" continued Mr.. Inman, not
noticing his guests hesitancy, that an
engagement calls me away. But | leave
you in good company" Waving his hand
toward Alice, he added, my daughter,
here, can give you the very latest descrip-
ton of Charles Lambs footprints and
Lord Byron's haunts. Good evening I
hope to see more of you soon. If you have
nothing better to do join us in the coffee
room tomorrow morning at nine"
An instant later Harlan Otis and Alice
Imam found themselves alone.
you are really glad to see me, then?"
asked Otis rather awkwardly, as he seated
himself before her.
AT a crisis whore two loving hearts vi
brate with emotions that hey must con-
ceal, the woman always has the advantage.
Alice Imam was at that moment mistress
of the situation. In the first place, she
knew that she was becomingly dressed.
This conviction is a source of strength to a
sensitive maiden and has been known to
make difference in the words and deeds
Of a married woman. Then again she had
refused this mans hand. By instinct she
knew that he had crossed the ocean to find
her, but that she was lattered by this at
tention she would not let him see.
"Of course l am" she answered in a
voice as calm and cold as an Arctic night.
+ i've been just a little homesick to-day"
Otis smiled as her tone softened some
what while she uttered the last sentence.
AS he looked at her he forgot what he had
sacrificed by coming to her-a woman's
heart, fathers wish. The unwonted
4 paleness of her face and the dark shadows
beneath her eyes added to her beauty and
in some peculiar way seemed to tlatter the
young mans vanity.
You do not like England, them"
Indeed, do" she answered. London

when do you want TO go?" he asked at
length.
AT once IL I can" answered Harlan.
"You see, father / have only one more

This is my last chance for European trip.
Can't you go with me? We both need a

faint smile played across the face OF
the lawyer.
mo" he answered business will not
permit me to accompany you"
"Then--I may GOT"
ayes, II you wish"
The expression on Harlan's face was ons
OF joy. Mr.. Otis arose slowly from the ta-
bic, lighted cigar and walked toward the
drawingroom,

Two days later our hero sailed for Eng

granted the request, although one corps OF
his army had not come up and his line was
shorter than he desired. After forming his
column Cleburne rode back to Hood and
said, General, | am ready and have more

turned at once TO the head of his columns.
Cleburne's division advanced along the
Columbia pike. which bisected the Union
line near the center-the most hazardous
point to attack-the works being the heav-
lest and the best manned with troops and
cannon. There were 3S Union guns in the
works and in reserve in or near the pike in the
center. The first opposition to Cleburne's
assault was made by the brigades of Lane
and Conrade of Wagner's division, that
lay on slope one-half a mile in front of
the works across the pike, and the only sig
nal to warn them of the attack was the
sudden bursting into view of long line of
Confederates, stretching from the river be-
low the town to the river above, moving
rapidly In perfect order, with banners wav-
ing and bayonets glistening in the bright
rays Of the setting sun.
With yell Cleburne's men rushed into
the works, and when the defenders broke

and crying out to one another, go into

men then than soldiers, Cleburne's excited

lay between the captured outer line and

defenders Of the second line dare not fire
upon the assailants for fear OF hitting COM
rades who were either leading Cleburne's
men or mingling with them In their mad
race Once at the rear works the onset

umph were dashing ahead along the pike to
