CHAPTER XXI.

The preparations for Maggie Leslie's
wedding went on bravely. The neigh
bors for miles round were hidden, and
the Frankfort merchants did thriving
trade in articles purchased for the first
wedding, with an eye to their being of
service at the second one, expected soon
to occur at Douglas Hail.
They were very busy there, too. That
is, everybody except Marcia. Aunt Made
leine noticed that Marcia did nothing,
often sitting for hours with her hands
idly folded in her lap, and far-away
look in her broIn eyes. And when she
CHANGED suddenly to raise them on being
spoken to, kind Aunt Maddy saw that
their expression was exceedingly mourn
full. 1t worried the good old lady, and
one day she said to Marcia MY dear,
are you quite happy?"
why, certainly, aunty! Why shouldn't
| be-" was the instant response, with
bright look.
And Miss Madeleine comforted her
self, saying, II suppose it was only my
fancy. But l don't like to see thai. Look
IN young girls eyes. 1t either betokens
SORROW or-an early DEATH
They did not hear from Vance at
Douglas Hall until he went to New York.
He dare not write from New Haven, lest
Louis lie Dru should chance to see the
postmark, and become suspicious. From
New York he wrote a few lines, saying
his business had detained him, but he
hoped to be able to return the following
week.
We know that when he returned to
New Haven he found his plans thwarted
by Nettie's illness. But he could not
write from New Haven, excepting to
Florence. Even to her he dared not
write full particulars, lest some mis-
chance reveal the secret. He wrote that
he had all needed proofs, and would
bring them as speedily as possible, and
undoubtedly overthrow Mr.. Louis plans.
Marcia felt his absence deeply. Day
by day she tried not to miss him so much
tried to remember that he was Florry's
lover, not hers. But still she longed
with an inexpressible longing to see him
once more.
She had no idea of breaking faith with
Louis, yet it frightened her to see that
he grew daily more disagreeable to her.
She could not zee anything in him to
object to, yet she felt that every day
she loved him less. Her heart sank at
the thought of a union with him, but
what reason could she give for breaking
ger plighted word? And since she could
never belong TO the only one she could
care for, what odds whom she married,
so her father was pleased?

home without having met one person
with whom she had formerly been ac-
quainted.
Vance was ut the depot to carry such
parcels as she mad not.sent over by ex-
press. But when they reached the cot
tage he declined to go in, seeing how
weary and i'll she looked, advising her
to 20 to bed ut once. Nettie felt as
though body, nerves and brain were all
giving way under the intense strain of
the last few days. She rose next morn
ing still more oppressed with lassitude
and WEAKNESS, but made a strong effort
not to yield to it, but go on preparing
for her journey
1t occurred to Vance that while he
was waiting for Nettie he had better go

els Squire Douglas had commissioned
him to get for Marcia.
He called upon Nettie and told her
where ard why he was going, promising
to return on Saturday, so they could
start for Kentucky on Monday morning.
Poor Nettie worked on until Thursday.
Then her aching head and feverish limbs
would no longer support her trembling
body, and she put aside her work and
went to bed.
When Vance returned on Saturday he
found her tossing upon her couch, deliri-
Gus with fever.
This was, indeed, serious misfortune.
But the doctor assured Vance that he
thought he could break the fever and
have her well enough to travel in few
days.
OF course, there was nothing to do
but wait, and show her all the kindness
generous nature prompted.
While he waits and watches, growing
in favor every day with the warm-heart-
ed neighbors who came daily to nurse
and care for the sick lady, we will step
backward, and see how things prospered
in "the old Kentucky home"

They Have Produced Mon Of Ability
In All Fields of Achievement.
The Cherokees have much to b.
proud of In history OF at least one
whole century, If we can believe the
yinita Chieftain. They have produced
men of ability In all the different fields
of human achievement. The culture
of the white race has been eagerly
adopted by the Cherokees, and men
ard women OF eminence In the field Of
literature, In science. in art, and in the
prowess of military glory. John Ridge.
the sweet singer OF the Cherokees,
though living in exile, far away from
his native land, and estranged from his
tribe, sang like a Milton and was the
poet laureate Of his people. The Bou-
dinots, the Adairs, and many other
noted Cherokee families have taken
high rank in the field of letters. Gen.
Stanwatie, that fearless and skillfm
commander Of the Southern Cherokees,
carved for himself place among the
great captains brought forth by the
civil war. Co.. William p. Ross was
perhaps the most polished orator and
altogether distinguished forensic glad
iator, who ever had the honor of Cher
okee parentage. At home among the
able men Of his tribe or at Washington
amid the talented and picked men of
the, American nation. he stood well to
the fore and lost nothing by compare
son. The younger Elias Cornelius Bou-
dinot was also man OF marvellous or
atorical ability, and for cutting sar-
casm, penetrating logic and magnifi-
cent eioquence was man Of whom
any nation or people should be proud

Growing a New Grandma.

3 years old. His parents had gone to

which they had left, with all the dear

Mamma had so much to attend to
in the new home that she had little
time for the children, excepting to
keep them clean and give them their
meals. Lonesome, indeed, they were,

BIRD AND MAN.

with Former the Male Wears Gay
Clothes, while-You Know How IT 10.
Courtship exists among birds as well
as among human beings, and In both
cases forms one Of the most serious and
necessary businesses of life; but there
is at least one remarkable difference.
While among human beings women
sport the gayer and more gorgeous
costume in order to attract the other
sex, among birds the rule is reversed,
and II Is the males who are arrayed
in the brighter and gayer plumage, and
who take every opportunity Of show
ing off to the best advantage before
the birds they wish to mate with.
In the case of the blueiay, for in
stance, the male lover will perch few
inches away from his enslaver, and at
tempt TO bewitch her with the sweet
ness of his song. His low, soft MARBLE
is clever piece of lovepleading,
which ought to soften the most OBJ
durate heart, but the female Is coy and
flouts him. Coming nearer, and slight
ly elevaring and quivering his wings,
he bows in front or ner, all the Wnlie
pleading in an impassioned manner,
and then, raising himself, puffs out
his breast and stalks in front of her.
His song then takes more virile
strain, and he boasts Of his prowess
in the fields. Anon he turns his back
and calls her attention TO his beautiful
blue coat, and this invariably proves
effective, and the fair one is won.
The counting of the peacock is not
so pleasing in voice, but he proceeds
much in the same way in the plumage
argument. He spreads out his majestic
tail to its greatest extent, and, holding
his head far back, strolls round in
circle so as best to display its beauties
from all points Of view.

How They Collect Bills.

The aboriginal debt collector literally
goes after his victim with a sharp
stick. Perhaps the phrase may have
originated from the manner in which
some Indians realize on bills due them.
The Nushinan Indians of California
may have seen the disagreeable habit
prevalent among whites Of sending
bills. When one Indian owes another
1t is considered bad taste for the cred
itor to dun the debtor. He proceeds
with more delicacy. He procures a
certain number of sticks. according to
the amount of the debt, and prints a
ring around the enl of eaen. These
he carries and losses into the debtors
wigwam and then gca3 away without
a word. The debtor invariably pays
the debt and destroys the sticks, as it
is considered reproach to have. the
January dunning stick thrown into the
wigwam. Indeed, the creditor never
uses them except with hard customers.

 The service will be taken on tomor- row, the last car coming in on train No 1 at II o'clock in the morning.
 While nothing official has been given out it is semi officially stated that the admirable service of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad will be discontinued on December lst At present that com pany has two trains a day from St Louis, one reaching Montgomery at GAO a. m. and one at 7:45 p. m.

 An effort Is making to have the Mobile and Ohio inaugurate a double daily suburban service, an accommoda- ton, to get in about 9:30 a. m, and leave at D. m., but nothing is known as to the success of the movement
 The indications are that the $40 a. m. train from St. Louis and the 9:25 D. m. train for St. Louis will be discon- tinued while the train now leaving at s a. m. will leave about 10 a. m.
