eeded from her cheek, the head started
from his shoulder and the beautiful
eyes took on tender look of reproof.
ooh, Charles, is it possible that you
carry concealed arms? What need can
my brother have for such deadly weap-
ons?"
A slight flush came into the young
mans face before the first reproving
look those gentle eyes ever gave him,
but he attempted to parry the direct
question by light speech and laughing
rejoinder.
why. pet, you would not have me
less cautious for my very precious life

With these light words Charles tried
to hush an answer with playful kisses,
but Ellen would not.
Brother, you must at least listen
to me- This thing is too important,
may lead to too serious results. Re-
the house that through years has glad

what an inward shudder would creep

ter of two most promising young
men.
To say she was lovely comprises
vastly more than beauty of form and
face; for to be that, requires a pure,
attractive soul and a quick, bright
mind, radiating from the beautifully
turned features and clear, smooth COM
plexion. Yet Ellen Tresdon was SUI
premely lovely. The home OF the Tres
dons was so inviting, with its Turk
ish carpets, luxurious seats, pictures,
paintings, statues, statuettes and arts
tic ornaments, presented to you so nat
urally and easily by the graceful hos
pitality of its inmates, that few cross
ed the threshold without seeking &
again and again.
OF this interesting family Ell@u was
the pet and darling, while Charles was
the honor and pride-not that the
youngest failed to come in for fully
his share of love, but he was a mere
boy, while Charles was the first born,
the child of the bridal year, the link
among which father and mother loved
to be borne backward to the times
when the honeymoon was a soft, ten
der, beautiful crescent arching their
young lives-a honeymoon which was
taking all the days of their limited
lives to fill up. Aye, proudly tney
loved him, and well they might, for
he was all that ardent love and youth
ful freshness might be supposed to en-
dow an offspring with. To Ellen he
was an idol with whom until lately,
none had contested for the supremacy
Of her love. God has not made wo-
man to live alone or man, either, as to
that; her being is incomplete, and
needs to be merged into a stronger,
grander life, and marriage alone pro-
duces, by the twain united, perfected
humanity. Recently these thoughts
had been stealing through the secret |
chamber of Ellen's soul, and with them |
the manly form OF Edwin Mott entered |
within its sacred arcana, and the fin |
est chords of her heart had vibrated |
thrillingly to his touch.
The first draught of love is to wo-
mans soul a nectar of new life; an |
elixer awakening every fiber of her
being into ecstasy. And as Ellen stood |
before a full-length mirror, where she
had paused to glance over the COM
pleteness of her toilet, Charles raised
his eyes from his book, and beholding
in the face of his pet an exquisite
beauty, outrivaling even herself, he
cast the book away and stepped to her
side AS Fllen'S arm 0lided abOut his
waist, the glowing color suddenly re-

and members of the Fifth District
Levee Board in regard to import
ant matters connected with the dis
trict.

at ST. per bale of cotton. That ex.
PRED last year by limitation under
the act of 1894.
On motion of Senator Murphy it
was decided to be the sense of the
meeting that the produce tax be
again increased to 81 per bale on cot
ton to extend for period OF five

ed. Messrs. Murphy, Ransdell and
Spencer were named as q committee
of three to draft the proper bill on
