It Stopped the Gambling.

A good story is told of a certain
colonel in connection with an inspec
ton of a crack rife corps which he
commanded.
The inspection passed off satisfac
torily; there were no complaints
and the regiment was evidently ir
good order.
But" said the inspecting general
Il am bound to tell you. colonel, that
rumors have reached me of gambling
being carried on extensively among
your officers" - -
THAT may have been the case, sir,
said the colonel, some months ago;
but can assure you that nothing OF
the kind is in vogue now, because I've
won all the ready money in the regi
ment, and l would not allow any
gambling on credit"

CHAPTER Iv.--(continued.)

There was something so frank and
persuasive about the elegant stranger
that Joris could not refuse the cour-
tesy she asked for herself and her
nephew. And, having yielded, he
yielded with entire truth and CONN
dence
Elder Semple was greatly pleased
at his friends complaisance. He gave
Joris full credit for his victory over
his national prejudice, and he dld MS
very best to make the concession
pleasant event. In this effort he was
greatly assisted by Mrs. Gordon. she
set herself to charm Van Heemsklrk,
as she had set herself to charm Ma
dam Van Heemskirk on her previous
visit, and she succeeded so well, that
when Sir Roger de Coverley was
called, Joris rose, offered her his mana
and to the delight of every one pres
ent, led the dance with her.
1t was a little triumph for the elder
Indeed. he was so interested IN listen
ing to the clever way in which the
bonnie woman fiattered Van HeemS-
kirk" that he vas quite Obvious OF
the gathering wrath in his sons face,
and the watchful gloom in Bram's
eyes, as the two men stood together,
jealousy observant of Capt. Hyde's
attentions to Katherine. Without any
words spoken on the subject, there
was all understood compact between
them to guard the girl from any prl-
vate conversation with him; and yet
two men with hearts full of suspicion
and jealousy were not match Tor one
man with a heart full of love. In
moment, in the interchange or their
hands in a dance, Katherine clasped
tightly little note, and unobserved
hid it behind the rose at her breast
The loving girl thought it no wrong
to put it there; she even hoped that
some kind of blessing or sanction
might come through such sacred keep
ing, and she went to sleep whispering
to herself:
Happy l am. Me he loves; me he
loves; me only he loves; me forever
he loves"

4 STAE1cH Friend.

One of the truest friends 10
Brownsville and The HERALD is
Editor J. P. Crank of the Laredo
Daily Times. His rare mental
capacity, thorough knowledge of
the conditions and interests of the
Brownsville country and his dis
interested friendship make his op-
inion of thcpolicy OF The HERALD
and the people OF this city in
valuable. 1t is indeed gratifying to
have Editor Crank's endorsement
of ones course. His judgment is
clear and mature; his character
strong and manly and his opinions
/ count for something more than the
ordinary comment of the average
editor or other citizen. In the last
issue before us of the Times we
find the following comment on the
status of affairs at Brownsville:
A dispatch from Brownsville
states that the bonus for the Lott
railroad has been raised and that
work will commence on July 10
All South and West Texas will be
nightly pleased with the report Of
| the success OF this enterprise. The
people of the lower Rio Grandt
have manifested great wisdom in
their day and generation by not
listening to the siren song Of the
Arkansas Pass and being turned
from their purpose of securing the
Lott road. The Arkansas Pass vii

tension from Alice or else lose it:
grip in all that vast region south
of the Texas Mexican. Brownsville
is, therefore, assured of three roads

in luscious clusters over the side
walks from the spacious lawns; the
surrounding prairies are covered
with flowers even in January and
the atmosphere is filed with their
perfume; the most luxuriant vege-
tation springs up wherever there is
the slightest moisture. Nature
formed and fashioned the lower Rio
Grande for the garden spot of the
Republic and the reason why this
section of the valley has not become
the Rivera of Texas is because of
its isolation. Now that a railroad
will open the gates of this treasure
house it will be filled with farmers
and truck gardeners and its waste
places will be transformed into vast
areas of cultivation. It's mild

ducks and other water game Offer

THE statement that the proposed

we will yield to no one in admira-
ton Of the personal character and
general reputation for veracity and
honor Of Col. NJ. D. Monserrate. We
submit further that our criticisms
of that gentleman's recent acts
have been fully warranted and we
have no apologies to offer-only
our cordial expression of regret that
an unalterable sense of duty to the
public interest made it compulsory
upon THE HERALD to occasionally
allude to Mr.. Monserrate in terms
discrediting to his well-known hons
orable character. Further than this
