And 10 .after many years 1t came 70 pass. =
 Lieut.. Bun, Hurley and Miss Mayme Veita Webb were quietly married Wed nesday at the home of the brides mother in this city. Handsomely engraved announcements Of the happy function have been received by the numerous friends of the family.
 Rev. E. l.. Kemp. Of the Episcopal church, pronounced the sacred ritual which made this popular couple husband and wife, and the news will be burdened with interest to many and will cause no little surprise in social circles. The se- cret has been we'll guarded and it has been a matter of speculation as to when the ceremony would occur. At any rate the wedding was a rather unexpected one, aud was witnessed by only a few inti- mate friends of the bride and groom. The guests were: Mrs. Percy Barker. MT. and Mrs. Ellis Hurley, Mr. and Mrs. Calling, Mir and Mrs. R. l.. Pettus. Mrs Henry Petus, James Gillian and Miss Lucy Williams.
 Numerous handsome and appropriate gifts were received.
 Immediately after the ceremony Lieut.. and Mrs. Lynn Hurley left over the Choctaw for weeks visit 10 the brides sister at Lonoke, Ark. after which they will be at home to their friends at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Ellis Hurley on Cleveland street.
 The bride was becomingly attred in a tait0r made, tan trayeing suit. A vol ume might be written in eulogy of the rare beauty and accomplishments Of the bride and the sterling business qualifca- tions and popularity of the groom. but they are both too we'll known to need any introduction from our feeble pen Their wide acquaintance and high social stand ing makes the marriage one of unusual in- terest and 1t has been the leading topIc with Forrest City folk for three days.
 HE TIsIEs extends hearty greetings for glad New Year and best wishes for unbounded felicity and life-long happi- ness.

What glorious weather, and we are

Sympathetic" Erleston said. Yes:
and sometimes, less rarely, there is

sense-an instinct, which, TO some ex-
tent, we share with the higher animals
and children. The feeling has often
neither reason nor logic-has it? Yet

AN ELECTRIC SUSPENSION RAILWAY.

The town of Barmen, in Prussia, has, or rather, soon is to have, one of
the most unique and interesting railways in the world. 1t is a single over
head railway system, as the accompanying illustration shows, and is the
rst of its kind to be built for the conveyance of passengers.
Y The road commences 1T Barmen- Ritershausen and follows the river
Kupper through the thcky populated cities of Barmen and Elberfed.
Beyond Elberfeld the line extends toward the west as far Is Vohwinkel
leaving the river at Sonnborn and running over the public highway to Voh-
winkel All gradients and curves are 81 arranged as TO avoid a decrease of
speed in the main lines. The iron frameworks over the river is support
ed by buttress piers If ironwork inclined toward each other; but in the
public highways the structure is supported by vertical iron columns, which
require n more space than lantern posts.
The cars are suspended IN two rotary bogns. Each truck o. bogie has
two axles, between which an electro motor of SO horse power, at 500
volts, is arranged. The frame surrounds the rail carrier in such a man
in case a fitting breaks or there is some other mishap. The current is fed
by a contact shoe from a rail. =
The speed will be regulated in the same manner a in electrict street
cars. The travelling speed is supposed to be % miles per hour. 1t takes
only from ten to fifteen seconds to start, so that, in spite of the eighteen
stations Of the road, a average speed of 1874 miles per hour will be
maintained. Each ar holds fifty passengers and is divided into first and
second class and smoking compartments. The number of cars in the
make UP of a train is not limited, but at first each train will consist of
one o. two crso only, although the station platforms are so arranged that
a four car train ca receive and unload passengers. The speed of the
trains is not dependent on the number of cars, a each a has its own
motor.

the honours for Wilfred and herself.

finished you try them, Mrs. Savile."
She laughed and said she would, as
Wilfred laid a bit Of cake on Kaiser's
nose for him to toss up and catch-a
trick the hound executed quite as
deity as his little mate.
Presently, as Erleston took his sec
end cup Of tea, he asked Clare If she
knew Miss Faber, the doctors daugh-
ter.
Il can scarcely say so much as that"
answered Mrs. Savile. Il have met her
by chance a few times at intervals of
my wandering life, which really began,
| may say, when l was nearly halfway
between seventeen and eighteen, and
went out to India with my husband.
They told you, of coarse?"

sympathy in voice and eyes. please

Il know that. But, indeed" she said,

killed in a skirmish, doing his duty.
And then the loss for me was better
then than later; l was a mere girl"
She stopped short, and stopped TO
caress Scamp, but a moment after she
said, in her usual way: But / have
scarcely really answered your question.
] do not know Miss Faber, though /
should like to do so, for | liked her"
"She is a sweet, dear creature" said
Wilfred, only brusque sometimes;
very outspoken when she likes"
"Ah, yes, l remember" Glare smiled,
amusedly. But the doctor, too, can be
downright If he chooses, though he
isn't brusque. OF course, you here at
the Hall know both we'll as near neigh

OF course, Wilfred Erlston had
breakfast in his room as yet before
dressing, and Clifford, after his master
had retired, came to Mrs. Sayile, ac-
cording to his masters own orders, to

About eight, ma'am."
Clare said that she would have her
breakfast served at the same time then.
and Clifford bowed and retired. Clare
finished the unpacking and arranging
of her properties in her own two rooms
before she went to bed.
A little before eight the next morn
ing she went into the salon, and see
ing the Times and several letters lying
on Wilfred's ~secretaire, which stood
opposite the nearest window, she cross
ed to it, glanced at the addresses on
the letters, and, none being for herself,
she took up the Times. AS the paper
rustled Clare heard a sudden, unex-
pected little sound from Erlston's sofa.

admonitory inquiry, and Mrs. Savile
turned quickly to see, just visible
above the rich folds of the Indian scarf
on the couch, two big, bright black
eyes looking out from a fringe OF
shaggy hair, and the prettiest little
head of a Scotch terrier, the head
cooked on one side in the most conf
cally questioning way, the bright eyes
fixed on the stranger intently taking
stock of her most whimsically, to
Clare's amused delight. She SO loved
dogs and horses.
"Woughi' said doggie again, this
time with an energetic satisfaction that
shook his little tawny head and body
as he sprang down and rushed to Clare
in the greatest excitement of joy,
jumping up and licking her hands as
she caressed him.
You little beauty" she said. What
is your name, I wonder, you impudent
little scamp, to get on that-oh, oh!
Scamp is your name, eh?" for at the
word the terriers whole body wrig-
gled with responsive delight. Yes,

For Scamp suddenly darted off out
through the nearest window, with two

sefonds back he rushed to her feet,

Pausing on the threshold was a mag
nificent JAEGER hound of rare beauty and
size, his shaggy dark-grey coat looking
like wavy silk, his great dark eyes,
deep-set under beetling brows, fixed
p~iercingIy ON Clare, to whose presence
Scamp had plainly been to invite his
gigantic (canine) German friend. But
evidently Scamp's youthful impatience
OF impudence did not approve of the
graver and more worldly-wise boar
hounds pause to survey the intruder.
With a sharp "Wough!" that plainly
said: How dare you hesitate, sir,

rushed to his stately friend, and, jump
ing up, fairly embraced the big, long
muzzle with his little ~fore-paws, evil

ward, willy-nilly. The JAEGER hound,
however, with a superb air OF careless
disdain, Just lifted one great paw and
gave Scamp a little pat that sent Mr..
Impudence sprawling on the carpet,
and Clare into a fit of laughter at the
whole comedy. The rebuke admins
tered, Herr Dignity, waving his shay
gy tail, walked up to Clare, who had
collapsed into a seat, and pushed his
muzzle confdingly into her hands for
the caresses and petting that were at
once and so lavishly bestowed, whilst
the terrier danced and jumped about

done something extraordinarily clever.

cheek to the hounds shaggy head.
"You are a canine emperor. Yes, | am

named you anything but Kaiser. All!
SO, my beauty, your tail says yes, mat

At that moment the courier Clifford
came into the ante-room, saw the tab
leau through the half-open door, and
with a vexed look the man stepped over
the threshold, exclaiming:
Kaiser, how dare you, sir? l do
hope, ma'am, those dogs haven't fright

"Good-morning, Clifford. Frightened
me?" repeated Mrs. Savile, with her
delicate white hand on the hounds

"Oh, no, ma'am." Here James came
in with breakfast. Excepting the
weeks he lay unconscious they're al
ways with him or about as they please,
and at night they sleep on mats in his
room"
But how was it l did not see or hear
them last evening, at all?" asked Glare
mystified.
Because, ma'am, Mr.. Wilfred had
them shut up in the stable-yard till
he could ascertain to-day whether you
might be afraid Of such a gigantic
fellow as Kaiser, and they must have
escaped somewhere this morning"
added Clifford.

The small province of Travancore. in the southern corner of India. is
one of the most picturesque districts to be found In all the picturesque east
1t is here that Pierre Lott, the well known French writer, has been living
for some time studying the habits and customs of the natives. These a
tives are a very strange people, chiefly Hindoo in religion, one of the most
remarkable features of their society being. the principle OF female inheritance
which exists in their country. There it is the daughter and not the son who
succeeds to the property of the parent It is an odd arrangement, but seems
to work very satisfactorily. The accompanying Illustration shows the pro-
cesion Of a Brahman idol through the streets of the decayed town of Ira
vancore
