THE DOWRY.
French View Of X and the EnoEish
View Entirely Different,

-'N'fSiJ GlttSfGHlI
Would it be an advantage for the
English girl to have a dowry? The
custom is deeply rooted in France
where few marriages are contracted ia
which the bride has not a dowry, eye n
in the very lowest classes.
The parents Of French girls will
STINT and starve, if necessary, to pro
vide q dot for each of their daugh-
tiers, or if that is not possible will
combine all their savings to enable
one to make a good match. What
does the English girl think of the
matter? Her emotions are somewhat
mixed. On the one hand, for the sake
of her independence she would like
to feel that she did not go EMMY
handed to her husband, and on the
other she would not willingly abandon
the cherished certainty that she Is
loved for herself alone.
It would be idle to pretend that
England is free from the fortune
hunter. But to take the average
girl-for she is the
person most concerned in this quas-
tion-the young Englishman does not
marry her for her money, for the very
good reason that as a rule she ha>
no money to marry for. Her father
may be in very comfortable circum-
and may leave her a round
sum at his death, but the sutton has
rarely any expectations of benefit save
n the remote future, and must depend
upon his own eXertions to provide
nome for his wive for many years. It

CHAPTER XVI.

Hilda did not sleep at all that night.
She did not even go to bed. When
the first gray dawn came in through
the curtains and struggled with the
dying Iamp-light, she was till sitting
in the cold room in her rCcking-chair,
crying and shivering. The things she
had taken out of the drawers and
wardrobes to pack up were lying
about on chairs and tables; and there
lay also a letter which she had
written, addressed to Frau Jussnitz.
She had not got on very well with
her preparations for departure. An
intolerable heaviness seemed to weigh
down her limbs, and so she had finally
sunk into a chair. clasped her hands
together, and had lived through again
in memory each day of her sojOurn
here in this house.
And in this survey of the past she
found no comfort in the fact that her
pride said to her uneasy conscience:
They forced me to it. | only wished
to show that i did not love him. l
only wanted to steel myself to the
consciousness that he could not be
mine" Again and again came the re-
proachful thought: I have thrust my
self beWeen those two. l have been
the means of separating them"
And what now?
All, yes, what now? She thrust her
trembling hand into her tangled hair.
She felt as if she must see his wifes
eyes. those sad as death, as long IS
she lived They would look re-
proachfully at her in her last hour.
| She had neven thought Of that-that
| this woman possessed heart, thai
she loved her husband. Love to her
meant constant demonstration,
| caresses, worship, and clinging; or
and recOnciliations. This woman was
so quiet, so patient, so unassuming
and uneXacting.
Hilda tried to imagine herself III
Antics position. With burning
bushes she imagined the man she
loved at the feet Of another. of one
upon whom she herself had shOwercd
kindnesses, whom she had welcomed
to the house and treated like ar

In q recent number of the Wisconsin

and there he stuck. He had forgotten
the lines. But he started again at the
beginning

coughed, wiped his lips with his hand

but it was hopeless, and he looked
over toward his teacher for sympathy

At that the whole school burst into
laughter, and the future president OF
the United States fed mortified from

A DASTARDLY OUTRAGE,
{, N, Atheriy Captured, Marched
Out Of Town and Fired Upon,

Il. NJ. Atherly, machinist in
the employ Of the Old Dominion
Copper company alleges that a
criminal outrage was perpetrated
against him at an early hour this
morning. His story, in brief, is
that he was called from bed at q
quarter to 2 o'clock, a. M, by a
man whoseface ne did not see, who
told him that the big pump at the
mine was out Of order and that the
cold man" (meaning the master
mechanic) wanted him to go down
and fix it. 1t was not unusual for
him to be called in the night and
he complied with the request with
out questioning its correctness.
He had reached the point where
the creek crosses the county road
below Ferguson's when two men
masked with handkerchiefs, APP.
peared suddenly and with revol-
vers leveled ordered him to halt,
which he did. They then got be-
hind him and ordered him to
travel.
He was marched down the road
three miles, TO point in the can
yOn about a mile below Stead's
ranch, where a halt was made and
Atherly's captors, taking a posi-.
ton in the shadow of tree, order
ed him to advance ten PAGES. He
stepped the ten PAGES and then
broke into a run, and as he did so
the two men opened fire on him,
firing about eight shots, one Of
which cut a whole in his shirt un-
der his left arm.
After running a short distance
and waiting until he though it safe
to venture back in the road, Ather-
ly returned to the vicinity of
Stead's ranch, where he camped
with a man on his way to- Stafford,
and this morning rode with him
into town.
The only reason that Mr.. Ather-
ly can assign for the dastardly act
is that he had refused to join the
miners union.
The affair has excited a great
deal ofindignation in town.-SiiUer

MORE PRIMARY RESULTS.

upon his friends for their support.

bercd, was candidate for super
visor at the late lamented Bill
Crawford primaries and he insists
that through the corrupt methods
employed in the conducting Of
these primaries he was defeated by
ten votes on the face Of the returns,
There is no doubt that to the large
fraudulent and illegal vote polled
at these primaries the defeat of
either Ira NJ. George or Mr.. Corn
wall is due. At the town of Chlor
ide there are said TO have been 33
illegal votes cast, while in King

went into the ballot box. OF these

MORRISON IS MURPHY'S MAN,
The Friends Of Auditor Nichols
Were Out-genaraIGd in
the Convention,

The friends Of the BrOdie ad
ministration admit that sex-Gover
nor Murphy out generated them on
Wednesday last in the Territorial
Republican Convention. 1t is
now known that Morrison
was hot candidate forthe
nomination right along, and
that Murphy had charge of his
campaign. By keeping quiet and
pretending that he did not want
the nomination, the Brodie people
who fully expected to nominate
Nichols, were lulled to sleep.
The friends of Nichols are
sincerely mad, aud they blame
Colonel William Christy for his
defeat. At a caucus of Nichols
friends before the convention
Colonel Christy solemnly prom,
ised to deliver thirty votes from
Maricopa county to Nichols.
With this assurance it was figured
out to a nicely that Nichols would
be nominated, and activity on the
part of his friends ceased so as not
to alarm the Moraison men. When
the vote was cast in the conven.
ton it was found that MaricOpa
county cast only 26 votes for
Nichols, and thus he fell short of
being nominated by two votes.
Morrison was nominated by the
votes Of Apache, Coconino, ella,
Mohave, Navajo, Pinal and Yavapai
counties, with seven from Maricopa
and one from Yuma. The Nichols
vote was Cochise ID, Graham Is,
Maricopa 26, Pima IA, Santa Cruz
5, and Yuma 5.
Nichols lost by bad management
and Morrison won by the superior
political skill of Oakes Murphy,
who had charge of his campaign
There is no manner Of doubt that
the general sentiment of the con.
vention was in favor of Nichols
and every Republican here admits
that he would be better vote-get,
ter than Morrison.
