And Belinda wept, for she was bitterly NOR

Belinda wept, as we have said, and went to
bed in the dark. OF course she did not see
the letter in the workbasket and no one else
saw IT until the first Of April dawned.

Mr.. softheart had always been a romantic

Mr.. Softheart had never desired TO be a
bachelor. He admired the other sex too
much, but, although he had been in love
With four blondes, three brune,.es. and Ave
roung ladies who were neither OH nor the
nher, he had never been able to pop the
question point blank, but delicately insiau-
tied it in such way that his meaning would
have been riddle to the sphynx, and was,
naturally enough, never successful.
Now, at 40, and growing extremely stout,
ie was as romantic as ever. Mr. Sof,heart

Biddy meanwhile had recognized the letter.
And upstairs she stumped and knocked on
Belinda's door.
..Misther Softheart bade me give ye this,
num-" she said.
''rll teach you to tell lies," said Belinda.
"You know Miss Angelina gave it to you"
Biddy was confounded.
He gave it to me last night, miss, true

Last night?" said Angelina, with warn

gotten her lesson.

the hint
''Give mo the letter." said Belinda: then
snatching it she tore it deliberately into four
pieces, and threw them on the floor.
That evening Spooney called to inquire
after Miss Belinda's health, and found her
well enough to walk out with him, and An
gelins and her mamma began to compare
notes. Then, and not till then. the letter
began to be mystery, and Biddy being sent

tions when Mr. Softheart called. and so leave
the pair tete-a-tets; and although Miss Ange-
lima was equally considerate, and invariably
remembered that something she wanted very
particularly WAS up stairs when her mother
went TO speak to the cook, poor Mr.. Softheart
could never bring himself to the point OF say-
ing, "Will you have me?"
"I'll do it by letter." he said to himself
after long consideration. "Women, so far.
have misunderstood me. I'll do it in black
and white now"
And SO, on the last day of March, Mr.. Soft
heart wrote an offer OF his hand and heart,
enveloped, sealed it and put it in his pocket
before he made his evening call on his beloved
Belinda.
Now, it so happened that that very evening
Belinda herself had come TO a resolution.
Her twenty-6fth birthday was approaching
and she could not afford s'to waste time"

Mr.. Softheart gave it to her to put in Miss
Belindas room the night before. Then in
dismay the ladies rummaged the dust bin,
and after an hours search appeared in the
parlor with dusty tresses and soiled hands
and nine little pieces of paper. These deftly
pieced together made a whole note, which.
being perused. revealed a proposition.
Belinda returned very late with q very con-
scious look upon her face, and stared in
astonishment at the dusty objects, who met
her with excitement on their countenances.
1t was good while befote the truth could be
extracted from the interjections and ejacula-
tions with which she was greeted; but whom
at last it was made manifest, Belinda listened
like one in a trance. She had indeed been
made an April fool OF. Mr.. Softheart had
really proposed. The brown stone house had
been offered to her. the bank stock, and all
that made the bachelor an eligible match; and
she that very evening had accepted spooney.

throthed, but she went into Mysteries st onoa,
and kept them up for an hour or two.

jokes, and April FOOLS day was always relig-

But this year the three particular Bellows
with whom we have to deal were not prepared
with any practical joke, though each sus-
pectsd the other. And when Angelina, sitting
up in bed beside her sister, saw the glittering
white note in the work-basket she immedi-
ately made up her mind that it was "a trick. "
She crept softly towards it and read the in
scription-" Miss Belinda Bellows"-and re-
tired to her pillow again.
"What flat trick,' she said to herself.
"Why, Bell will guess at once, unless she for
gets that it is the first Of April"
Then a thought struck her. She crept tip
toe out Of the room and down stairs to the
kitchen, where Bridget, with a smutty face,
was making the fire. taking the letter with
her.
''Biddy." she said in whisper, ''come up
stairs and awaken my sister and tell her Mr..
Softheart brought this this morning."
And Angeline tiptoed back to bed. But Be-
linda was awake this time.

and herself, and on the evening In question
was smitten with terrible attack OF neu-

Angelina would 60.
Ten minutes after the departure Of the trio
Miss Belinda, arrayed in blue silk, was play-
ing at such rate on the piano that it seemed
quite certain that the demon neuralgia must
have vanished.
She did not even hear Mr.. Softheart's ring,
and started, in sweet confusion, on his appear

Lima won't be home until II clock" and the
two talked together in very low voices. sitting

Mr.. Softheart looked and sighed and uttered
romantic sentiments, but he did not pop the
question. Miss Belinda did all that modest
ysung lady could to further this object, but
in vain.

which is within the 10 per cent. limit allowed
by the Navy Department, she can be mace of

The St. Johns herald., 1894-06-21

The State of Chihuahua, Mexlco, has passed an extraordinary law re- lating to cattle thieves. It provides that any one caught stealing cattle may be shot down or the spot with out the formality of a trial.-Albu- querque Citizen.
 It is rather an extraordinary law. but, taking all the circumstances surrounding this important indus try into consideration, we don't know but it is about as just as it is extraordinary. There are thous- ands upon thousands of dollars in- vested in cattle, which are neces- sarily permitted to roam at their own sweet will over large area of country. There is no help for this condition of things. To employ men to watch and guard this prop erty would require an army, and cost as much as the Hattle are worth. The only protection, therefore, that can be given this class of property is in the enactment of rigid jaws and their strict enforcement. Re- cent events have come to light that show clearly there is large class of human vultures. who have no conception of the rights of proper ty, but appropriate it whenever and wherever found. Owing to the un- protected condition of this class of property, and the prevalent dispo. sltion to confscate it by unscrupu- lous desperate thieves, THE HERALD is of the impression that it would not be bad idea for Arizona and New Mexico te enact similar laws and enforce them.
