Sudden insanity.

There is in certain country COM
munity IN Hoos;erdom certain good
old Quaker who is not so pious on week
days as he is on Sunday. He will oc-
casionally trade horse on an unsus-
peetihg friend aid casually forget to
tell the purchaser the most glaring
faults of the snapped beast. 1t is re-
lated that on one occasion he was called
to attend the bedside of his dying sis
ter. The stalwart sons of the good
woman stood about her bed and heard
her last admonitions, while Uncle Will
liam stood by and REINFORCED the whole
some advice of their mother. As one
by one she urged the boys to remem-
Der always their honor, their Christian
faith, etc, the brother would say, ear
nestly;
"That's right, boys; them's good
words--that's thy mothers dying ad-
vice-heed it well and thee will never
go astray."
When the sons had been finished with,
| the dying woman turned solemnly 10
the erring brother and said:
"Uncle William, know that in spite
of thy profession thee is not always
what thee should be. Thee knows that
when thee trades horses thee lies like
other men"
Turning quickly away from the bed
the old Quaker exclaimed, earnestly:
"Don't thee pay any attention to her,
boys, she's out Of her head!"- -Cincin-

CHAPTER vi.

Merriam's intention had been to go
direct to San Diego. Leaving the ladies
together, after a cold and embarrassed
acknowledgment of Mrs. McLane's
greeting and most unwilling presenta-
ton to "my wife," he hurried into an
other car to be alone and collect his
thoughts. It was sundown by this
time, and only sundown. For hours
vet poor Florence might be at the
mercy of that merciless woman, who
Merriam now believed could be capable
of anything. The thought was unbear-
able. From the conductor he learned
that the McLanes were bound for Coro-
nado Beach, and that settled it. Has
tily writing a few lines he folded the
paper compactly and walked briskly
back to the Pullman. Both faces light
ed at his coming, Floy's with infinite
relief, Fanny's with laughing triumph.
'Not another moments leave, sir"
cried the latter, until you've explained
where you've been and promised never
again to abandon your beloved. Fancy
a man who would leave his bride within
an hour of their wedding to go and
smoke among straEgersl Oh, that re-
minds me, I haven't presented you to
Mr.. McLane, VIII you come with me
now?"
Cold refusal was on his tongue, but
sudden thought struck him. Lead on,
madame follow" he said, and as she
tripped blithely away down the aisle
he quickly turned back, bent, and
printing one long kiss on Floy' 'stroubled
face, hurriedly whispered: "Read
this, darling. I'll be with you in one
moment, and then she cannot remain"
Then calmly and deliberately he fol-
lowed. Mrs. McLane had halted at the
angle Of the narrow passage around the
smoking compartment, and was await
ing him there. Seeing that, he stopped
short at the portiere, in full-yiew of
Florence had she looked around, and
bowling, motioned her to proceed. But
she had halted for purpose and meant
to have her say. Who was 1t that de-
clared that even at the altar, in her we'd
ding dress, woman could not forgive
the rejected lover who had found conso-
lation elsewhere?
"You are to be congratulated on the
elasticity with which you recover from
even severe attacks, Mr.. Merriam. Your
fever was said to be SUCH"
II have been fortunate in two recov-
cries, Mrs. McLane," was the cool re-
sponse. "Now II you are ready to pre-

Of gay circle, but Mrs, Parry had de-
clined to go east again. he himself had
not cared to go, and did not call upon
the happy couple or upon their reyered
uncle when, as it happened, he did have
to go. "Mr. Mellen has never written
me since my letter to him telling him
why could not attend the wedding"
wrote Parry. "Yet he and have got to
have an accounting, and in the near fu-
ture, too. But first, my boy, 1 must
look up that California story and we are
to meet. It may be weeks yet before
can get away, but when 1 do I'll wire.
If possible get brief furlough and join
me. I'll come by way of Sedgwicl, and
Charlotte-will not be with us"
And, though Merriam soon answered
that letter, he made no mention of his
engagement. Cards in due form were
issued in January just a fortnight be-
fore the ceremony, and that was Parry's
first intimation of "the impending
crisis" Charlotte was astonished. Both
were rejoiced on one account, yet both
wished, for the girls sake again, that
he had not been so precipitate. Each
believed that the old love still smol-
dered and could be famed into fame.
They sent beautiful gift to the bride
some rare cut-glass pieces over which
Florence almost cried with delight, and
for the first time in long weeks Char
lotte Parry wrote to her fair sister in
Gotham and told her of Mr.. Merriam's
engagement to such a charming girl,
the only daughter ola distinguished Of
ficer, the pride and beauty of the regi-
ment, the toast of all the cavalry and
other Celebrations, some of which, it
must be owned, Mrs. Parry coined, but
most of them she compiled and evolved
from the letter Merriam wrote to her
two days after he had posted the cards.
The wedding was lovely, as army
weddings usually are. The day was
perfect, the music grand, the assem-
blage all that could be desired; the
ceremony, despite the mist of tears in
many eyes and Tremaine's manifest
emotion, had gone off without jar.
The reception at the Haynes was sim
ply perfect, as everybody said,. and
then, though it was manifest "give-
away" of the young couple, and prob

Annenrnnce end Merit.

Girard, the famous French painter,
when very young, was the bearer of a
letter of introduction to Lanjuinais,
then of the council of Napoleon. The
young painter was shabbily attired
and his reception was extremely cold /;
but Lanjuinais discovered in him such
striking proofs of talent, good sense,
and amiability, that, on Girard's rising
to take leave, he rose, too, and accom-
panied his visitor to the ante-chamber
The change was so striking, that Girard
could not avoid an expression of sur,
prise. "My young friend" said Ian
juinais, anticipating the inquiry, 1--WE

servicei il nge desire to return to

service; if not I nesire to return to
my wife"
The flush that leaped to her face,
the angry light to her eyes she could
neither conceal nor control. For mo-
ment she stood there amazed, enraged
and trembling, then these words burst
from her lips: II thought / loved you.
Randy Merriam-not two months ago
yes, despite everything! Now hate
you'll" And with this melodramatic
speech she impetuously and abruptly
turned, and for the second time took
refuge, dust or no dust, at the rear door
way, the presentation to her husband
apparently forgotten. For proper
and reasonable minute he awaited her
return-then, quickly stepping back,
seated himself by his young wife's side.
His hand sought and found hers; his
fond eyes, eagerly searching, were not
long denied the upward, appealing
glance of hers, "Did you read? Do
you approve, dear love?" he softly
asked. "It would be evaporation to
have to travel on with them. Shall /
wire to Stoneman?"
"Whatever you say, Randy" was the
whispered answer. "Only you won't
have to leave me again, will you?"
"Only for an instant, dear, just long
enough to send the dispatch from
Fauntleroy-one station ahead. She
will not trouble you again."
And from Fauntleroy brief tele-
gram was flashed along the wires to
the post quartermaster at famous old
Arizona station, two hours ride beyond,
and when the brilliantly-lighted train
came steaming up to the platform
there stood brace of officers with well
come in their eyes; and before Mrs.
McLane, once again seated in her sec
tion and feigning deep interest in her
book, could realize what had happened,
Mr.. and Mrs. Merriam were leaving the
car, he merely raising his hat in civil
farewell-the bride, however, as the re-
suit of brief conference with her lord,
smiling bravely down into the upturned
face of their startled neighbor and say
ing: 81 hope you may have delightful
journey, Mrs. McLane. Goodnight"
"Why-I thought-surely you told
me you were going to-direct to San
Diego, and had planned to have ever
so long talk with you," and Mrs. Nc.
Lane had possessed herself of that slen-
der hand, and was hanging on suspi-
ciously hard.
Eyes, we'll be there after little"
was the serene answer. "We visit old
friends first at Fort Stoneman," and
with that ollr army girl withdrew her
hand which hypocritical social ethics
prescribed she should extend. She had
even the hardihood to glance over her
stylishly-robed shoulder and nod a
CHEEKY, insouciant farewell to the fair
yet clouded face at the Pullman window.
Verify Floy's elasticity was equal to
her husbands.

ably very bad form indeed, dozens of
men and women had ridden to the juno
ton to meet the west-bound train and
see them off; and hardly had their fond
faces faded in the distance than an
other, very different one, radiant,
smiling, beautiful face, was unveiled
to the startled vision of the bride, and
the woman who was said to have
wrecked Randolph Merriam's life a few
months gone by was there in most be-
witching guise, despite the dust and
CRIME of railway travel, to overwhelm
her with pretty speeches and charming
compliments-and complete dismay.
