The next day she went TO meet the
F'renchman again. The moment he
saw her face he knew that in leaving
her to reason out the problem he had
done well.
She came forward with all the conf
dence of a child, and said:
Monsieur Caussidiere, since l love
you, | will trust you with all my
heart"
oh! the days which followed; the
hours of blissful, dreamy Joy, Mar
jorie went every day to meet her lover
each day found her happier than she
had been before.
He was good and kind, and her love
for him increased, his reasoning seemed
logical as well as pleasant, and it was
beginning to take a firm hold of her
accordingly.
What he might have persuaded her
to do it is difficult to imagine, but an
event happened which for the time be-
ing saved her from precipitation.
She had left her lover one day, prom
Using to think over his proposition for
an immediate secret marriage, and give
him her decision on the following
morning.
She walked along the road with her
head filled with the old and still per-
picking problem, but the moment she
reached home all such thoughts were
rudely driven from her head. She found
Mrs. Menteith in the parlor crying bit
terly Mr.. Mentith, pale and speech
less, stood by her side, with an open
telegram in his hand.
What is the matter?" asked Mar
jorie.
Taking the telegram from the min
inter's unresisting grasp, she read as
follows:
Send Marjorie home at once. Mr..
Lorraine is dangerously ILL.,"
The girl sank with a low cry upon
the ground, then with an effort she rose
and cried:
Let me go to him; let me go homew
Not once that night did Marjorie re-
member Caussidiere or her appoint
ment with him on the following day.

voice addressed her by name
She looked round, as she stood reach
ing down some parcels and small
handbag from the net above her seat,
and recognized John Sutherland.
They have sent me to meet YOU" he
said. stretching out his hand. II have
a dog cart waiting outside the station
to drive you down."
She took the outstretched hand Gag
erly, quite forgetful of the angry words
with which they had last parted. and
cried in broken voice:
'Oh, Johnnie, is he BETTER"
The young mans face looked grave.
indeed, as he replied:
He is about the same. He is very
weak, and has been asking for you. But
come, let me look after your luggage.
and then We'll hurry down"
There were few passengers and little
luggage by the train, and they found
Marjorie's small leather trunk standing
almost by itself on the platform. A
porter shouldered it and following him
they passed out of the station and
found a solitary dog cart waiting with
a ragged urchin at the horses head.
A few minutes later Marjorie and Suth-
erland was driving rapidly side by side
through the dark and rain washed
streets of the town. At last they
drew up before the gate OF the manse.
With an eager cry, half a sob, Mar
jorie leaped down.
IN put up the horse and come
back" cried Sutherland.
Marjorie scarcely heard, but. opening
the gate, ran in across the garden, and
knocked softly at the manse door, which
was opened almost instantly by Mysie.
the old serving woman
The moment SIZE saw Marjorie she
put her finger To her lips.
Marjorie stepped in, and the door was
softly closed. Mysie led the way into
the study, where a lamp was dimly
burning,
"Oh, Mysie, how is he now?"
The old woman's hard, world worn
face was sad beyond expression, and
her eyes were red with weeping.
"Wheesht, Miss Marjorie" she an
swered speak low. A wee while syne
he sank into bit sleep. He's awful
changed! I'm thinkin' he'll no last

"Oh, Mysie." sobbed the girl, con-
vulsively.

The following notes from the
Texas Stock and Farm Journal
may prove of interest to our read
ers:
Ike 7. Pryor returned Friday
from the Territory, Galveston,
Columbus and other points. He
made a shipment of 600 head of
steers from Galve ton to Havana
on Thursday last.
Johh t. Shy of Kansas City,

Mr.. Shy says cattle in the Terri
tory are not doing so we'll as they
should have done and many of the
Territory shippers are losing
money
W. l.. Bannister of San Saba
county, a heavy cattle operator,
was here Thursday en- route to his
Indian Territory pastures. Mr..
Bannister says his Territory cat
tie are not fattening as rapidly as
he would like for them to do, but
he still won't complain much if
the market will only be little bet
ter when they do get fat.
John Dyer of Kansas City, rep
resenting the Lone Star Commits
sion company was here Friday
from business trip in the Indian
Territory. He says he sees moth
ing discouraging in the cattle bus
mess and yet there is nothing OF
an encouraging nature in it. The
beef market is in bad shape, bu'
the class of stuff going TO marke
is usually not so good as it wa,
thought it would be. In the Ter
ritOry cattle haye not fattened a
they usually do. Money, Mr.
Dyer says, is easy enough and h
thinks this fall will witness som
lively buying, and it may be tha
the top notch has not yet bee
reached However, he advise
much caution IN investing in stee
cattle, though he thinks femal
stuff pretty safe when bought con
servatively.

Little Hope for Andree.

More detailed reports of the ar
rival of the Wellman polar expedi-
ton steamer FridtjOf at TromsO,
Norway, show that on her journey
to the winter headquarters on
Halls island in Franz Josef Land,
selected by Mr.. Wellman, the yes
sci stopped at Cape Flora, where
Mr.. Jackson has left supplies, but
found 10 trace of Andree there.
If Andree, therefore, failed to
reach this only depot of supplies in
the rocky and icy wastes of the
Franz Josef archipelago, it is to be
feared there can be little doubt as
TO his fate.

Course of Dawes Commission.

Hon. J. P. Mullen of this city,
who is at present with the Dawes
commission at Pauls Valley, has
written the following letter;
In answer to your query as to
what persons the commission will
enroll, will say that they enroll all
Indians by blood, and all intermar-
ried white persoI S whose names
appear on any roll. Where their
names do not appear upon any
roll they will not enroll them.
For illustration will cite two in
stances: A full blood Chickasaw
Indian applied for enrolment be-
fore the commission, and because
his name could not be found on
any roll he was rejected. The
Chickasaw commission explained
to the Dawes commission that he
was one of those indOlent and ig-
nOrant fellows that had never come
out of his mountain home to be
placed on any roll; but they would
not enroll him. Another full
blood Chickasaw Indian, who had
just completed a term in the United
States penitentiary at Brooklyn,
was also rejected for the same rea-
son. | think, however, there will
be provision made by the depart
ment for this class of eases. The
commission also enroll all of the
Chickasaw freedmen and descend
ants who were here in 1866.
The Dawes commission will be
in Ardmore on the 10Th instant fol
the purpose Of continuing the en-
roliment.

Death of Judge 6. D. BantZ.

Judge Collier received yesterday a
telegram from Mrs. G. ID. Bantz con-
veying the sad Intelligence that her
husband died at & O'Clock yesterday
morning. His death was caused by in
Illumination of the bowels, following a
short illness. This comes as
shock to the many friends of
Judge Bantz in this territory. His
career as a lawyer in this territory was
full of promise of a creditable fulfill
ment of the arduous and honorable du-
ties. that his appointment as Judge of
the Third judicial district of this ter
ritory devolved upon him,
and it was the verdict of his
brother lawyers that he we'll re-
deemed that promise. The territory
loses in her death one of her distin-
guished sons, Judge f. w. Parker
was appointed his successor.
Judge BantZ' funeral services will be
held in Silver City this afternoon un-
der the auspices of the Elks, of which
order he was q neutrality-suspicious.

Arrested For Embezzlement.

Yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff
Will Ten Eyck received q telegram
from Sheriff Pete M. Hall of Sweet
water telling him that one James Raj
ferty would arrive in Ell Paso on the T.
P. He was wanted in Sweetwater on
the charge of embezzlement, and
Sheriff Hall asked the deputy sheriff
to arrest him and hold him until he
came, on the first train. The sheriff
was expected in on the T. P. to-
day.
Rafferty, was arrested and confined
in the county Jail and the HERALD re-
porter went to see him this morning
to see if he had anything to say about
the charge. He said as he had been in
Justice DarwoOd's court today at 2 p.
m. he would rather make no state
ment for publication.
1t seems that Rafferty, was interest
ed in q tanning company at Sweetwa-
ter, Texas. The company failed,
owing him some money, and he sold
some leather which was on hand so as
to get the money which the company
owed him for services.
Rafferty, seems a good, sober kind of
man and the deputy sheriff says from
is more a question of civil law in the
matter than there is of criminal.
Sheriff Hall failed to put in an sp-
pearance this morning on the arrival
of the T. & p. train and the prisoner
asked for hearing before the justice
of the peace and it was given him
at O'Clock. The prisoner had
employed the services of Judge f. E.
Hunter to defend him. There was q
warm argument as to whether the
sheriff of this county had the right to
hold the prisouer on telegrsphic COM
municatiOn or not. The Judge,
thinking that the prisoner had
some right in the matter, granted him
bond in the sum of 5000 to appear be-
fore him again tomorrow after the T.

The New Bankruptcy Law.

Richard Burgess, who has been ap-
pointed referee in bankruptcy for this
district, was asked If the law was in
full force at the present time. He an
swered: "Yes sir, it is; the law went
into effect on the first day OF July, but
there was proviso which stated that
no petition for voluntary bankruptcy
should be filed for the time of thirty
days after the passage Of the bill,
and no petition for involuntary bank
ruptcy should be filed within four
months after the passage thereof. The
first month having expired on the 31st
day of July the provision in regard to
voluntary bankruptcy is now operative,
and in fact the filing of petitions has
commenced"
The question was then asked Mr..
Burgess, Who may take advantage of
the law? "Well. the law provides that
any person who owes debts, except q
corporation. shall be entitled to the
benefits of this act as voluntary bank
rupt.
"b. Any natural person, except a
wage Garner, or person engaged
chiefly in farming or the tillage of the
soil, any unincOrporated company, and
any corporation engaged principally in
the manufacturing, trading, printing,
publishing or mercantile pursuits, Ow-
ing debts to the amount of one thou
sand dollars or over, may be adjudged
involuntarily bankrupt upon de-
fault or an impartial trial. and shall be
subject to the provisions and entitled
to the benefits of this act. Private
bankers, but not national banks or
banks incorporated under state or ter
ritorial laws, may be a6judged invol-
untary bankrupts.
"When q man goes into bankruptcy
it releases him from all of his debts of
every nature whatever with the follow
ing exceptions:
1st Taxes.
ID. Judgments in action for fraud or
| obtaining money under false pretences,
or for wilful and malicious injury to
| the person property of another.
Sd. Debts which the bankrupt fails
| to properly schedule when he makes
his application. and
4th. Debts created by his own
fraud, embezzlement, misrepresentation
or defalcatiOn while acting as an officer
or as q trustee.
