upon his bosom, and as her dark tfSpse'
fell over his shoulders, hiding her face
and the tears that shone there, she an
swered him:
"Coqualla can give thee all her heart,
and be to thee a slave for life. But II
you make her your wife, 0 be sure you
will never regret it; for Coquallas heart
would break il you loved her no more!'
For long time the panic caused by
the fearful plot of the Indians lasted
among the colonists, but they gradually
waded out of the danger though their
way was through much blood. The Nat
chez had sealed their own doom, ana a
few short years sufficed to sweep them
from the list OF Indian tribes, and the
once powerful nation was known no more
on Garth but in name and the history OF
the past Simon Lobois joined the French
force, having received lieutenants COM
mission from Perier, and he fell at the
siege Of one OF the Natchez forts. So a
Natchez bullet found the life of him who
had thought to barter away the life of
another through the hands Of the Nat
chez.
Troubles came now thick and fast upon
the hardy settlers, and once the marquis
told his children that IL they wished, he
would sell out and return to France. But
they did not wish it. st. Denis was hap
py enough where he was, for Louise was
a sufficient shield against every Ill from
within, and his own bravery and forti-
tude swept away all other fear And
Louis found himself in possession Of
treasure the intrinsic merits of which
were every day developing themselves
to his understanding; and after few
short months of welded life, all doubts
vanished from Coquallas mind, for she
was assured that love like her hus-
bands could never grow cold while she
remained true and faithful.
NO" said St. Denis, 1--WE will not re-
turn, for In this colony, now surrounded
by dangers and gloom, can see the germ
Of a nation. A soil so productive, with
resources and natural advantages SO
mighty, must one day be reclaimed to civ
ilization of the highest order There Is
no reason why this great valley Of the
Father of Waters should not, at no very

His Bluff Did Not Work.

Stories of Yankee shrewdness have
always been widely circulated, but
when one gets ahead of Yankee there
is very little said about it, especially
ON the part of the man from the North
Several days ago a h0telkeeper at Il
small station on one Of the roads run
ming out of Memphis put the laugh on
a drummer from the North In a very
good way, and the travelling man was
compelled to beat hasty retreat The
drummer arrived at the hotel about s
o'clock in the evening. and fearing that
he would not be able to get any supper
he asked the landlord what he could
get to eat
my friend" said the hotelkeeper, T
can give you anything from a picked
elephant to a broiled canary birds
tongue for supper tonight"
The drummer looked at the man, and
thinking that he was jesting, decided
to call his bluff.
"All right, my FRIEND" said the drum
mer; "I'll take some picked elephant"
VERY well, said the host; ''I'll go
and get it."
He was gone about five minutes, and
when he returned said:
"All right, sir; supper will be ready
in a moment. You'll have to take a
whole one, as we don't carve them af.
ter dark"
The drummer decided that he was
not very hungry, and took some cheese
sandwiches. Memphis Scimltar.

New York Restaurants Do Not Supply
the Demand.
Within the past six months the res
taurant business Of New York, partic-
ularly above 2Sd street, has undergone
remarkable expansion. Not only has
the business of the more fashionable
dining resorts grown to an extraordi-
nary extent, but the prevailing prosper
ity has been equally shared in by the
less pretentious restaurants. The pro-
prietor Of one Of the medium-priced
restaurants on Broadway, who was
asked about the increased patronage OF
his place last night. explained II thus:
''In the first place Broadways is
growing as a popular dining resort;
secondly, more people are in this 10
cality than ever before, and with the
Pennsylvania tunnel looming up ahead
