uneasy, and every mail little Fe-
icita looked eagerly for letter or
some word from him, but ever
doomed to disappointment. One
day her father said to her: Little
bird, how would you like to take
trip North p
ooh, how lovely it would be-
sIt was planned 20 go at once.
ssIn due time they were steaming
up the Mississippi to Cairo and
thence to Louisville and on to
New York. One day her father
suggested that they should go to
Boston sand maybe we can find
out something about the boy as
the general called him, in speak
ing of Harmon. Felicia was, OF
course, delighted. After settling
themselves in their hotel they be-
gan at once to hunt up Harmon,
who they found at the hospital,
though convalescent.
"Everything, of course, was ex-
planned, and great was his JOY at
finding his old friends.
"The pleasure of seei g them
proved to be a good tonic, and he
was soon himself again. One
day, after returning from a drive
sightseeing, the old general in
formed the happy couple that he
must return.
ssAnd what are you going to do,
my boy?'
I" I'm going, too.
CATER his mother, no one he
thought could ever give him JOY
or stimulate him to energy, but
somehow, he could not under
stand, he seemed to wait and look
for the coming of little Felicia.
He often unused over it. Can L
certainly be in love? No, it can
not be. She is only q child, and
besides how could ever expect to
win her p
"When they got back to New
Orleans General Flores and his
partner concluded to dissolve, and
they proposed to sell their business
to Harmon, but as it was valued
ut $50, 900, how could he buy with
only $4,000, but that was circum-
vented by selling on credit. Han
non thought seriously over it, but
concluded to buy it, with many
misgivings.
"Credit looks nice on paper, but
who knows the many mlSnapS THAT
attend it? and like many more, if
he had me slower he might have
Jared better.
ssAfter the bargain was closed he
felt relieved and even hopeful.
ssHe spent several days with his
friends before he embarked on his
new career. When he took his
leave General Flores called a negro
boy and said, Harmon, take this
boy to wait on YOU
ss.Oh, General, 1 don't wish to
buy anything more hoping to moi
let his friend see his antipathy tc
buy negroes.
& ooh, you don't have to; / give
him to YOU
He seemed to hesitate, until
Felicia joined her fathers request
by saying, Il would feel much
better satisfied he would be sc

Judge r. G. Drew, of Minden,
has announced himself candi-
date for the parish of Webster as a
delegate to the Constitutional Con-
vention.
Judge Drew is q staunch Demo-
crat, a strong man, one who can
be relied on and is eminently
qualified to fill the position.
THE PROGRESS would be pleased
to have Judge Drew in the Con-
stitutional Convention.

All the same Judge Whitaker
was bound over to await the ac-
ton of the Grand Jury for his
assault on Mr.. O'Malley. From
the way some of the papers were
talking we thought the Judge
would be discharged with chrome.
If reports are true, one who can
get up any enthusiasm over Judge
Whitaker should consider it an
honor to be spoken to by Mr..
O'Malley.

pleased and amused at Joe. 'Ah,
how thoughtful and kind the child
is. | wonder what sort of a
woman will she be. There are none
on earth above her, as pure as
angels. To know her is to love
her
s'Joe set himself about to make
his masters quarters comfortable,
seeming to anticipate his every
want. AS time wore on Harmon
prospered, and money seemed to
pour into his golfers in an undlmln-
ished stream. He was honored
and loved by all and his boat was
one of the most popular that piled
between New Orleans and ST.
Louis.
''Felicita was fast ripening into
sweet wOmanhood and the old
general began to think seriously
of her future.

g His health was failing and he
felt that he must secure his prop
erty in some condensed mann er,
so he sold all his comm ercial in
terests and put all Of hi money in
bank.
"Hannon would visit his friends
as often as circum stances would
permit and always found well
come.
Zone day the old general called
him into his library and said: Il

growing old and l want to arrange

trusts you as an elder brother
A shadow passed over his face
| and a pang shot through his heart
as the word brother was spoken.

it is light.
Harmon leaned over towards
him and said: General, l hope
you will forgive me; l may be
wrong; | may have abused your
kindness, but | cannot suppress

They will put us into the same tomb. We
shall lie there together, and we shall love
each other Oh! we shall love each other
still, despite the cruelty OF man. We shall
be exalted, and the future will sing our
glory"
1t flashed upon the Emperor that the fit
of ment al alteration which had occurred
at st. Cloud was about 10 return, and,
seizing Carlotta's arm, he gently placed
her in chair. She did not look a him !;
she probably did not recognize him. After
moment she broke out:
"Ah you are the Emperor Napoleon
III, that all-powerful Emperor who raised
my husband to the throne, and l am a
wretched woman, imploring mercy for a
victim you have condemned" After a
pause she continued: You have made
your final decision? You leave us TO our
own resources, with no hope of assistance
from you2'
Resolute in her purpose. Carlotta sought
the Intervention of the Pope, though her
attacks OF mental disturbance began to
return periodically. The Holy Father re-
ceived her while he was at breakfast She
snatched the cup OF chocolate out of his
hands, and drank it, exclaiming, "At any
rate, this cannot be poisoned"
Then they took her 10 Mramar. where
she had spent Sc many happy years with
her husband, and it was there she heard of
his execution. She would not believe it.
She used to wander to the country vii
lagos and mingle with the peasants, who
ldolized her, and who used to kneel in the
road when she passed. Like herself, the
simple Dalmatians refused to believe in
