AN Q.DlLlI'W A,
A True Love Story.

old friends, foremost among whom was
Lawyer Voullaire, came to tender their
congratulations and found the young
girl radiant with happiness. DR.. L.
was a widower with three children.
He was devoted to his little ones and
inexpressibly happy in the thought
that his second wife would be to them
an affectionate mother. Since his first
wife's death his mother-in-law, an i'm
perious woman with a mind of her own.
had taken care of his children and SUI
perintended his household.
A week after the announcement OF
the engagement Voullaire called upon
Angelina TO remit to her her quarterly
allowance Instead Of finding happy
bride, he was met by despairing wo-
man. Pale, and with disheveled hair,
Angelina gave to Voullaire letter
which she had received from her be-
trothed that morning. In it the physl-
clan cast suspicion upon her relations
to her adopted father, accused her OF
duplicity and hurled upon her unwar-
ranted reproaches.
He knew my foster father and his
noble character" walled kngiolina;
chow could he write in this way?" 1t
was said quietly and without resent
ment. Voullaire was perplexed by the
girls unusual manner and held out his
! hands to her in abject sympathy.
MANY another girl would end her

VouIlaire. Someone who is selfishly

He fell at the feet Of his betrothed and
wept like a child. Voullaire took his
hat and left the room. On the follow
ing morning he received a letter from
her.

Among the belongings of Sidney
Voullaire, the lawyer, VINO died in st.
Louis, some 20 years ago, was found
the portrait of a beautiful young girl.
1t had hung over his desk, in his Of
fee on Chestnut street, opposite the La
clede Hotel. To his intimate friends
Voullaire had frequently told the story
Of the original Of the portrait. It is
a chapter out Of his own life's history,
before domestic tragedy crossed the
threshold Of his own home, and made
once brilliant man. The beautiful oil
painting found its way into a second
hand shop after Voullaire's death and
has probably long since gone the way
of all things earthly. The story still
lives in the memory Of few to whom
Voullaire has told it.
Shortly after the war wealthy Lou
isiana planter came to st. Louis to live.
He brought with him not only for
tune, but a beautiful adopted daughter.
Her name was Angelina. Sidney You'll
laire, the lawyer, met her for the first
| time at the bedside CT her foster faith
er The latter, after an eXhausting i'll
/ ness, felt the end near and sent for
| Voullaire to draw up his will. A prom
! inent physician, who was also an intl-
! mate friend of the lawyer, was in at
| tendance upon the dying man.
The invalid had been lying in coma
tose condition all day. Voullaire and
DR.. L. were constantly with him An
! giolina never left the bedside Of her
beloved parent and was the tenderest
and most devoted nurse. Toward even
/ ing on the night of his death the old
! planter revived consciousness. He rec
! ognized his beloved daughter. Tears
! came to his eyes, as he laid one hand
in blessing on h9r beautiful brow,
pointing with the other at the doctor:
"Angiolina," he stammered, ''be her
friend" A moment later the death
struggle began and before midnight the
old planter had passed away.

the tender girl turned to the handsome
man of middle age with all the fervor
OF her guileless, passionate nature. She
knew but little OF her early life. Reared
among strangers, the Louisiana planter
had one day taken her to his elegant
home. Unlimited money was spent up
On her education and when after a win
ter passed in New Orleans, Angelina
i conceived notion to become an actress
her indulgent foster father gratified her
desire and had her trained for the
stage A dozen appearances behind the
footlights thoroughly disillusioned the
girl and she returned to her home.
According to his will the Old planter
estate was divided among his relatives
in the South. A sufficient income was
guaranteed to Apgiolina, and Sidney
Voullaire was named as executor ant
guardian of the pretty girl.
She removed from the home of hel

THE ACTOR.

You can always tell an actor by his
clothes.
He may be a comedian.
a minstrel or tragedian.
Or perhaps he does turn at song and
dance:
He may be out transforming
OR in firsI-c'ass house performing.
But you can tell he is an actor at a
glance.
You can't tell him by his walk.
Nor his look. nor by his talk.
But there's that something which every
body knows
Marks the man who's in the play.
And you'll hear the people say:
You can always tell an actor by his
clothes"

cleaning Out the sewer,

Capt. j. F. ID. Smith, who is the city
sewer Inspector, has had q force OF men
at work for week or so past cleaning
out the sewers. The work is done at the
catch basins and nearly wagon load OF
dirt was taken out at each. Capt. Smith
says the men found the sewers in first
class condition in every way and the
dirt that collects in the catch basins can
not be helped. No trouble ould he ex-
perienced on this account. but it is al
ways good policy to clean them out
every few months. The recent heavy
rain storms were as severe test as the
sewers have had for some time and no
trouble was experienced during the vet
weather and the water was drained in
short order.
