ONE OF THE LATEST WEDDING GOWNS. of Bride roses. The pretty gown of the maid of honor was in green and white organdie.
 Much tucking and Irish point lace elaborate a simple trimmed gown of plain white satin.
 Orange blossoms, it may be observed, are once more in high favor, while tulle is the popular veil unless one has some heirloom in the way of old lace.
 A single ornament is usually worn, and it is the bridegroom's gift. The new crown brooch of diamonds or pearls is the latest fancy for this pur- pose.
 Color, sometimes only as simple touch, is introduced in the costumes of the bridesmaids. At recent wedding the six bridesmaids all wore white silk gowns and blue velvet picture hats and carried blue chiffon muffs. At an- other the bridesmaids were in white and carried white chysanthemum bou- quets tied with pale green ribbon, while the maid of honor was gowned in deli cate green crepe de chine.
 A pink crepe de chine gown, pink chiffon hat and bouquet of pink roses, the costume of the maid of honor, en- livened the otherwise white scheme of very pretty wedding. Pink silk null over white silk and bouquet of pink chrysanthemums were another varia- ton in this favorite color of the season.
 A narrow circlet of gold pave with brilliants is the seasons innovation in the wedding ring.

this intrusion. My heart so yearned for sight of you and your hos pitable home that feared to indulge myself by coming here lest I could not tear myself away, but he would hear of naught but that we must breakfast at the Ellery mansion"
 ''My brother is ever considerate of his family's pleasure" Jane an- swered, land he knew. what happi- ness it would give my father and my mother to welcome one who has been so kind to their son.
 Indeed, yes" Edward put in gayly, ''and I wanted the colonel to see that my mother could outdo even your fa- nous breakfast that he has so bragged upon."
 Mrs. Ellery had been no laggard in welcoming her guests. Leaving tertainment. she hastened back to give orders for the preparation of 8 meal that should. indeed, as Edward had boasted, outdo Jane's.
 Presently Edward stole away to see his father, and when he came back he requested Jane to take Col. Bessemer to him.
 Never had the British colonel ap- peared to better advantage in Jane's sight than during the brief converse with her father-his manner at once deferential and genial. his tones low but attuned perfectly for the invalid's ear, his words full of praise for the soldier son, of his courage, his de- votion to duty. his popularity with bis brother officers. Jane saw her fathers dull eyes brighten. she saw the expression of patient suffering give way to one of interest, and the withered cheek tighten with faint tinge of color.
 Her heart went out to Bessemer that he should have given the older man those few minutes of pleasure, and when, with the excuse of not wishing to tire the invalid, he drew her from the summer-house, she walked with him along the garden paths and entered the green and purple labyrinth in the grape-arbor towards which he directed their steps.
 She put up her hand and plucked some grapes for him. He took them from her, and then, a quick glance around assuring him that the thick screen of vines hid them from view, he caught her hands in his and drew her to him.
 tJane.s he cried. in the smothered voice of passion. Jane, ! love you!'
 The girl struggled to free herself but he held her close, while his hot

Speaker Cannon and His Cigar.

Boy, go down to the restaurant and get me some cigars. They know the kind" Uncle Joe Cannon told page, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Herald.
 The youngster scampered off and, re turning, handed two cigars to the speaker. Uncle Joe bit off the end of one, damned about half of it in his mouth and blandly surveyed the house. Then he remembered his exalted and conspicuous position and stealthily took the cigar out of his mouth and put 1t in his pocket.
 ''This being speaker aint all there is in coming to congress" MT. Cannon said as he adjourned the house and again stuffed the cigar in his mouth.

in hi& chintz-covered armchair in the surHmer-house. Jane sat beside him, reGding aloud passages from his fa- vSrite Cicero.
 His two months treatment under the famous Charleston doctor had done him but little good. The hands which lay upon the arms of his chair were as tremu1ous as leaves of the aspen-tree, while the veins stood in thick blue cords above the scared and yellow skin. The face, once beautifully white, was covered with brown blotches, and the silken gray curls hung with distressing thinness upon his shoulders.
 Nevertheless, he made an exquisite picture in his lowered chair. His yellow silk-lined coat was thrown open, displaying the dainty white ness of his rufaed shirt. His brown silk hose were drawn up without a wrinkle over his thin legs and met his brown knee-breeches under iewel buckled garters. The great magnolia trees, one on either side of the sum- uer-house, cast luxurious shade, making the wearing of the three cornered hat which lay beside him un- necessary. The air was heavy with the rich odor of the ripened grapes in the vineyard to the left, while on the right the fower-garden was ra- diant with hollyhocks and larlxspurs and marigolds, and great tubs of towering oleander. The summer house itself was 8 mass of morning glories and passion-howers.
 Jane was not the least attractive bit of the pleasing picture, in her white frock with it's puffed paniers, it's e1bow-sleeves, and it's 1ow-cut bodice modestly filled in with lace- trimmed kerchief that was drawn not too closely about the white throat '
 Into the peace and quiet of this scene broke the sound of many horses feet. "What is it,, my daugh- ter?" MT. Ellery asked, grasping the arms of his chair with trembling hands. "Is it the rebels?"'
 May, father" Jane answered, "me- thinks it is rather the British, to judge by the dashes of red see among the trees; but I will go and find out" '..
 She laid her book upon the ta5lo as she spoke, and, rising from her seat, left the summer-house and walked with light, quick step to- wards the mansion. @..

WEDDING MODES.
A Bridal Gown of Latest Style and
 Other New Items.

otASE NcN AeEAABs
 Winter weddings will soon be in full swing, and the preparations for them are going on apace. In line with all other fashions, the wedding gown grows less thing of convention. h. dividual taste finds greater scope in it. Its aspect in general is more than ever picturesque. Among materials for handsome trained gowns are white silk, rich satin duchesse, mousseline duchesse, taffeta mousseline, crepe de chine, crepe onduline and the like. Some idea of the beautiful use of ap- plique laces and the fluffy softness ob- tained with ruchings of filmtest fabrics is suggested by the wedding gown iI- lustrated, which also strikes distinctly original notes in the lace stole and shoulder cape device, the long pointed sleeves and the deep points of the skirt. Shirring is most becomingly used and the clusters of ball tassels add a very novel touch to the whole.
 At a recent wedding the bride wore a trained gown of white satin mousse line, with tulle veil caught with white ostrich tips. The shower bou- quet was of lilies of the valley and or chids, and the only ornament worn was the bridegroom's gift of diamond crescent. Yellow crepe de chine trim med with yellow lace and a lace pie ture hat with mauve plumes furnished the costume of the maid of honor.
 White net over chiffon and satin, with lace trimmings, composed dain- ty costume recently worn by a youth full bride, with a tulle veil caught with natural orange blossoms and a bouquet

CHAPTER V.
AN INTERRUPTION.

Only little over a mile beyond where he had met Jane she would have to cross creek. Ii was a mean stream with quicksand bottom, un- forGabIe except at one place. This ford, partly made by nature and helped out hy man, was marked on either side, of the. stream by sign post that travellers might not miss it and get caught in the quicksand.
 The night before some wild spirits among the Americans, learning that a band of Tories was likely to cross at that spot, and afame with fury over the treatment Bessemer had @iven the Continentals at the battle of the 2eth of May, painstakingly dug slp the posts and placed them a little aower down. The scheme had worked 50 well that, the first Tories who had attempted to cross were caught in ithe quicksand and one man and two horses were lost.N In the confusion which followed the whole band had been we'll peppered- with shot by the concealed Americans. The intention had been to move the posts back She next morning, but Godfrey knew fthis had not been done, and his heart 1nisQaye him when he thought of pane.
 The plot filled him with bathing, At once so wicked and so foolish was s$ Such underhand deings were not his idea of warfare, yet it was these same wild spirits who had conceived 1t that he was trying to weld into a body of recruits.

 Ringing himself from his horse, Worthington snatched Jane from the rarriage and carried her to place of safety. His next move was to rescue Aunt Rachel and Nanny Anne, while under his direction Gabriel bega search for a piece of rope under the box-seat, where a supply of such things were usually kept in those days of bad roads and frequent breakdowns. Absalom had already cut the horses loose from the car Tiage, and by means of the lines was dragging the near-horse. which had sunk only little way back to firm ground The off-horse was already nearly in to his belly, and the task of rescuing him was serious one.
 Slowly, doggedly, physical strength prevailed over natures treachery, end gradually the horse was dragged, all bruised and bleeding and stunned with fright, to the ground.
 T don't understand" Jane said. II am all in daze. Here are the sign posts, and yet this isn't the ford. The ford is there. How does it come that the posts have been moved?"
 Worthington hung his head. ''It was done last night, 1 believe" he answered unwillingly and falteringly, which was against him, ''by some hcodllnns to deceive a party of Tories, who were coming this way
