always sought my company. seemed to keep
fresh in my memory that was striving to for

crowned with disappointment; for one day
while plucking a nosegay for my lord n

at my feet. Surprised. started back, but

beneath her veil.
Our attendant naught had seen, and
slowly. lest by an unusual haste we arouse a
faint suspicion, We wandered home and
shared the billet in our fevered minds.
In language tense and full of fire it told a
tale of love and woe; how, languishing in
misery, he could not, as bade him. go away
and leave me to my fate, for within his in
most soul there dwelt hope that might yet
be won. But if would at mid of night,
when all the house was still, meet him at q
little trelised gate and tell him (for from
naught else would he take an answer) that
within my heart there was no vacancy to fill,
he would ut once depart and nevermore re-
turn.

had sworn to take no answer save from my
lips alone vowed to brave the peril and end
the matter for all time.
That night at 12, when all the halls were
draped in mellow duskiness. / stepped
noiselessly over the sleeping eunueh at my
door and threaded hurriedly the path to the
trysting place. He heard my step, and called
to me in voice so tremulous and low that /

all the while my friend, and often as we walked
and talked to while away the long and dreary
day l gave to her the secrets of my heart,
which she in turn would often give to me.
She saw the blue-eyed stranger and wondered
at his beauty, and oft while in the garden
she called him to mind.
One day while strolling near the garden
wall, and our attendant off some distance
nodding sleepily a tiny nosegay fiuttered to
our feet, wherein q note was cunningly in
! closed.
Away at once we ran to the privacy of my
boudoir, and read it through with griish agi-
tation and strange fiuttering in my bosom
until then unknown to me. Its every word
breathed love and played upon the heart
strings with dulcet lingering.
1t told of soul in anguish from the heat of
consuming passion-of eyes that refused to
see aught save the transcendent beauty they
had caught meath my loosened veil. At
senses dulled and prostrated at the thought of
my continued imprisonment and at the posi-
bility of never beholding my loneliness again.
"Oh. fly from that cursed slavery and the
dregs OF u fettered existence. Come with me
to the world ard rejoice in a freedom un-
hampered. Live in the fullness of an un-
shared love. gushing from passionate heart
whose very beat shall be prompting for your
happiness.
Many times we read and wondered ut his
bravery, for should this note perchance be
found by other than ourselves a hundred
swords would seek his daring life.
And then 1 wrote to him note no less i'm
passioned, but warned him Of his danger,
and prayed that he be gone. II have" I
said, mo power to fly, had the inclination,
which were sin to think. The walls are
high. the guard is strong. and failure means
harsh and speedy death to both myself and
you. Be gone, l pray, and leave the slave to
the pleasures of its master. Forget the face
beneath the veil as but the vision of dream,
which, being many times recalled, fades to a
formless unreality." And this, fast tied to
stone, with many quakings Of conscience l
threw over the wall.
Then many days dragged on and naught
heard from him, and in my secret heart there
grew a weary loneliness so wretched to endure

A NOBLE RESOLVE.
What Prompted Commodore Farragut to
Follow the Sea.
from the Toledo Blade

From the Toledo Blade
When the great and good commodore,
David Farragut, was boy. his father was
captain on a steamboat on the Mississippi
river. David was q bad boy. not that he
meant to be bad, but like many other boys
he had got the foolish idea that to swagger
about and chew tobacco to swear and drink,
were manly and that he could not show him
self q man unless he did like some OF the mis-
erabie loafers along the shores. and some
fear. on the ship. One day when he was
about sixteen years old. the boat had only
just left Memphis going down the river when
his father spoke to him and wanted to see
him above. He had been disgusted to see
the boy smoking and staggering about at the
town. and he thought it was time to teach
him a lesson. Besides. he loved the boy and
was sorry to see him making fool of him
self. Turning all the others out Of the cabin,
he said: David. what do you expect to
make of yourself"

and a disgrace to your father and friends?''
''No, l mean TO tread the quarterback, to

smoke. who swear, who play cards. who are

keeps them at their distance; but for her
should ere this have become a victim to their
voracity; and. although she did betray mo,
she has since then saved my life a score OF
times.
And now 'tis night again--another link in
the long period OF misery that constitutes our
life Darkness Is slowly settling and the
lamps begin to shine dimly beneath the vine
covered arches. The princess is sitting by
the edge OF the divan, lightly drumming the
strings of her guzla. Monad. the most tract
able OF the tigers, is lying with his paws
crossed over his chain almost at her feet. Ben
Sed. tho other. is pacing to and fro, as far
away as possible. This last named tiger has
always been most vicious. but Monad often
permits the princess to softly stroke his head,
and. being the larger tiger, has many times
been our protector.
Some distance below, reclining upon a rug,
is the form of the giant Nubian; and the
moon that is just now rising is cleaning
brightly upon the blade of his scimiter.
Strange that Monad should have conceived
so strong hatred for the Nubian, who has
only to approach to make the tiger furious.
The princess has ceased her playing and is
now asleep, lying scarcely foot away from
the gaunt form oil the Tiger Mcnad. The night
is still. and l am watching the stars through
distant portal. Hardly sound but the
bubbling OF the fountain or slight rattle Of

voice, the other makes reply-they come out
into the moonlight. He is evidently servant
of my masters household, but his face seems
strange to me. For moment they confer
together; then the Nubian advances toward

Republicans and Statehood.

Suppose the Democratic papers should
adopt the plan followed by certain Re-
publican papers in New Mexico aud quote
bits here and there, lite rally correct but
misleading when isolated from the con-
text, wouldn't the Republican press howl?
Let US see how it would work. The fol-
lowing are literal extracts from Republi-
can papers:
"New Mexico is not competent for
self-government and should not be given
statehood. Any honest man, of any party,
would rather see New Mexico remain a
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Citizen.
"If New Mexico goes Democratic we
may not get immediate statehood. State
hood will do US no good in the way of
attracting the incoming of men and
money. On the other hand if the terri
tory goes Republican, We will, no doubt,
be deprived of statehood" LAS Vegas
Optic.
Upon such extracts, which are actually
taken from the papers quoted, might be
based the assertion that the Republicans
are opposed to statehood, and that asser-
ton could be sustained by pointing to the
record of Republican congresses on the
question. In truth we believe that the
Republican party is opposed to the ad-
mission of New Mexico and that our only
hope of admission lies in a Democratic
victory. But it is fair to explain that
the Optic seems to think that Republi-
can congress might admit New Mexico
one of these days and is opposed only to
the admission of the territory as Dem
ocratic state. The Citizen, however, is
probably against statehood on any terms,
no matter what its pretended attitude
may be. The duplicity of that paper is
chronic and incurable.-Las Cruces In
