I bad dined with Si. Groix, and
we were now on onr way to some
uninteresting people who were
giving a dance. Since entering
the cab the conversation had
slackened; apparently we both
posseeeed ample food for reflec-
tion. As we rattled over some
stones, St. Groix suddenly shout-
ed in my ear:
“You’ll see her tonight, In-
gram !’’
T had returned from the coun-
try that morning; still deep in my
thoughts, 1 replied:
“No such luck; she is a ban
dred miles from town, and—”
I stopped abruptly, as I caught
a glimpse of bis face. Fortunately
he had not noticed my observa-
tion. “So,” I continued, grasping
the situation, “yon have once a
gain decided that the feminine in-
terest in your life should be cen-
tered iu one t”
“Ingram, old chap,” ho said sol-
emnly, “it’s serious this time (I
have heard this remark made
before under similar circumstan-
ces.)
“I sincerely trust it is!” I repli-
ed.
A good looking, wealthy man,
past 30, has no right to bo unmar-
ried.
“This has huppened whilst I
have been away t” I added.
He nodded.
“And the maiden is—” I began.
St. Croix actually looked con-
fused. “Well, she’s hardly—’’ he
said, awkwardly, “that is — of
course she’s young—well the fact
is, she’s a widow I”
I glanced at him reproachfully.
“Any—er—”
“No, no,” he replied hurriedly,
“of course there are no children.
Why, man, she’s only yoang her-
self—husband died in India—fe-
ver, snake bite, or some other
bandy thing of t hut kind. O, no,”
he went on, with a smile, “I could
not do it if there were any chil-
dren !’’
“Have you actually proposed to
her T”
“Not vet,” lie replied, thought
fully, “bill I feel that it is as good
as settled. Ingram,’’lie continued,
with an air of enthusiasm, “she’s
adorable. She—’’
“My dear St. Groix,” I said,
“these confidences remind me of
the good old days.”
“Ah,” he replied, with a sigh,
“this is no boyish flirtation !”
“By Jove 1” he cried, as an idea
struck him. “you two will get on
cupitally together. Having both
been iu India, you will be able
to—”
“Chat about her husband T” I
suggested.
St. Croix look serious.
“Poor child !” he said, in a com
passionate tone. “She must have
been very unhappy during that
time !”
It ia strange how men generally
refer to their wives’ tirst marria-
ges in this way.
“We are admirably suited,” be
continued, his face lighting up.
“I am thirty, and she—well, I
should say site is twenty-five. A
man should be a year or so older
than his wife.”
“Yes,” I agreed, “she Is very
young for a widow.”
“Much too young,” replied St.
Gi oix ; “that’s one reason why she
should marry nguiu !”
“Trne,’’ I said. “How long has
it been going on T”
He considered for a few mo-
ments.
“I first saw her,” be said slowly,
“at ten minutes to nine on Mon-
day last week.”
“My dear fellow,” I exclaimed,
“you must hurry up matters; the
lady will positively weary of Ihe
courtship.”
Just then the cab drew np with
a jerk.
“Here we are,” said 8t. Croix.
“Jump out!”
After greeting our hostess, we
separated. Several people of my
acquaintance was there, and I bad
to go through the usual number
of duty dances. Presently I saw
St. Groix coming towards me.
“Ingram,” be esid, tekiog me
by the arm, “come with me.”
There ie nobody so exacting as
the man In lore.
“She ia waiting to be introduced
to yon,” he aaid, na we made onr
way to the conservatory. Here in
a aecludad corner (tor St. Croix le
experienced in these matters), we
found the lady.
“Mrs. Fordyce,” said St. Croix,
allow me td—”
“Mrs. Fordyce I”
I looked at her, then bnrat oat
langhing.
“Dr. Ingram I” she exclaim
"Yon know one another f” cried
81. Oroix, with • poxxled look.
"Why,” I said, "I bare known
Mrs. Fordyae since—”
“Yea. Dr. Iugrnm and I are quits
old friends,*’ she Interrupted, with
e glance at me.
I understood.
“Thst is jolly!” St. Oroix said
heartily.
1 am not sure that Mrs. Fordyce
agreed with him entirely.
The strains of a waits came
through the opeo doors. St. Croix
looked at bis program.
“Bother!” he cried. “It’s my
dunce with the daughter of the
house. M ill you kindly look after
Mrs. Fordyce, Ingram t”
“I should be delighted,” I re-
plied; and he hurried off.
As soon as be bad disappeared,
I turned to Mrs. Fordyce.
"It’s all very odd,” I remarked.
“What!” she queried—“that
yon should tarn oat to be the
friend Mr. St, Groix has been
talking to me about t”
I'smiled; the qnaiutness of the
whole matter seemed infinitely
amusing to me.
“No,” I said, “that yon should
be tbe lady whose charms be bas
been describing to me.”
She blushed, I gazed at her
critically.
“’Pon my word,” I exclaimed,
at length, “it is positively marve-
lous, to think that It is close up-
on—”
“That is just what I don’t want
you to think, doctor,” she inter-
rupted.
“But, my dear Mrs. Fordyce,
you uctually look younger and
more beautiful than you did when
we were together at Simla!”
She laughed.
“We have always been iu the
habit of speakiDg plainly to one
another.”
“Yes,” I agreed; “it saves time.”
She gave me a nervous little
glance.
“O,” I said, reassuringly. “I
am yonr friend.”
She was playing with the edge
of her fan.
“A woman is only as old ns she
looks,” she observed, “and I was
married at an extremely early
age.”
St. Croix was perfectly jneti
fled in bis estimate—twenty-five
he told me,” I said, with a laugh.
“But that is a detail; the thing
that will surprise him most will
be tbe fact that Clare exists I”
She looked at me with a smile.
“Ah, you have met her at the
Roacoes t”
“Yes; I found my little 10-year-
old sweetheart of Simla had grown
into a daiuty young lady of 181
How is it,” I continned, “that. St
Croix ia ignorant of her exis
tencet”
“W’ell. he assumed I had no
children, and I—I conld not sum-
mon up enough courage to tell
him afterwards. You see what a
difficult position I am in,” she
added, plaintively.
“Yes, it is difficult,” I agreed.
“The nnexpected appearance of
n full-grown daughter upon tbe
scene might prove too heavy a
straiu at this critical stage of his
love. A girl of 18 is a responsi-
bility,” I added.
All this time I had been hug-
ging to myself some special iutel
ligence. I thought it was about
time to bring matters to a head.
“Mrs. Fordyce,” I said, “do you
really care for St. Croix 1” She
did not reply fora moment.
“Yes,” she said simply, “I really
love bim. O, can’t you snggest
something!” and she looked at
me pleadingly.
“Yes,” I said, qnietly, “we will
help one another. Have you
heard from Clare today 1”
Her hand went to her pocket.
“Why, yes, a letter came as I
was going oa'. I have not read
it yet.”
“Would you oblige me by doing
so, aa you have it with you t”
She drew an envelope from her
pocket, opened it, and smoothed
the letter out. As she read it, n
smile came over her face.
“My dear doctor,” she exclaim
ed, “do you think one so young
aa Clare will make you happy t”
“Didahenot settle it in Simla,
years ago, that she would marry
nobody bnt tbe ‘doo’ 1” I replied.
“Have I mamma’s consent 1”
She laughed happily;
“Really,” I aaid, glaooingat her,
“I hardly know whether I’m talk-
ing to Clara or her mother.”
St. Croix rejoiued ns.

“St. Croix,” I said to him,
quietly, after a minute or bo, “I
have been meddling in your af-
fairs—with a good result,” 1 ad
ded.
He turned with a glad look of
surprise to Mrs. Fordyee.
“It is ‘Yes’ t” be murmured.
“It’s for yon to say, after hear-
ing tbe doctor,” she replied soft-
ly-
“The one condition is,” I said
alirupily, “that you agree to be-
come my father in-law !”
He seemed to be' quite sur
prised; I tendered a few simple
words of explanation.
St. Croix glanced at Mrs. For
dyce—she was looking radiantly
beautiful—and then did the most
intelligent thing he ever did in
bis life—accepted my proposal.—

er Alleged Viola tleai of the Rati rood
Commleeloo Low In Olvlaf Reduced
Beteeoa Cotton—1Tomas Item*.
AUdWn, Texas. July 27.—Ia the Fifty-
third district court of Travis county
yesterday the attorney general filed
nrtiw suits agalnat the Galveston, Har-
risburg and Gan Antonio and ten
against the Houston and Texas Central
to recaver penalties for alleged viola-
tlest of tbe rat road commission law.
The bums agalnat the Galveston, Harris-
burg and San AJitoulo are based on
shipments of cotton made to Ionian &
Oo. of Houston from Scfbuleaburg and
to John B. Holloway of Houxton from
LaGrange to March and April, 184HI.
‘ The attorney general alleges that said
cotton was carried for 86 cents per
100 pouada, while the commission rate
was 40 coats and that an a device to
conceal the true character of the ship-
ment and t» make the same appeal- to
be Interstate shipment, and In order to
conceal the unjust discriminations thus
made against other Shippers, the de-
fendant company made Its way-bills of
lading read that said cotton was con-
signed te order of Inman A Co. and
Holloway, New Orleans, and to notify
said consignees at Houston, Texas,
while In truth and In fact the destlnn
Horn of the cotton wus Houston, Texas,
New Orleans being made tbe ostensible
destination by defendant for the fraud-
ulent purpose and intent of giving In-
man and Holloway a special rate of 35
centH per 100 pounds*, and to conceal
said special rate.
Tbe suits against, the Houston anil
Texas Central are based on alleged
shipments of cotton carried Iu April,
1896, from Lancaster, Hutchins, Mc-
Kinney, Denison and Ennis to Houston
for Inman & Co. by defendant for 49
cents per 100 pounds and from Paige to
Houston for 43 cents per 100 pounds,
and from Glddlngs to Houston for 39
cents per 100 pounds, while the com-
mission rate was 50 cent*. The allega-
tion of false billing Is likewise made in
these cases. The penalty sought to be
recovered In each ease is $5000. These
suits are the result of the investigation
by railroad commission agents which
have been going on for about eight
months and are but a starter, as It Is
understood that evidence has been
gathered In at least 900 eases, involv-
ing all the trunk lines in Texas and
that the commission Is prepared to
show that Its tariffs have been system
aitleally disregarded in the transporta-
tion of other freight than cotton.
Insulted,
“I think,” said Ihe man who had
bought a sen so ii ticket to the
opera, whispering to his neighbor,
“that I’ll try to have my seat
changed. Every night that girl
sits in frout of me with the same
hnge hat on and—”
“Excuse me,” said the gill turn-
ing round indignantly, “it’s a dif-
ferent hat every night.”—Troth.
Some time ago, a little bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and

bands, just at a time when my
two-year-old boy terribly afflictad.
His bowels were beyond control.
We bad tried many remediea, to
no purpose, bnt tbe little bottle
of Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy speedily cured him.—

A Big Storm.
Dallas, Texas, July 27.—A hard rain
and hall storm of a half hour's duration
•wept over the southern part of the
city at 5:30 yesterday afternoon. In
the cotton mills section It approached
the severity of a hurricane. A new
storehouse. unoccupied except by Good
Templars ball, was blown down and
wrecked. 'Large trees were torn up by
the roots, fences leveled and galleries
of the houses occupied toy the opera-
tives toadly damaged. Tlie force of the
wind was confined to half a dozen
blocks and Its strongest sweep was
through the principal street of the cot-
ton mills district. Much alarm pre-
vailed. but the people escaped with
only slight bruises to n half dozen per-
sons. The cyclone passed the corner
of the main wing of the cotton mills
building, giving It a close call. The
property loss is estimated at $500. No
damage reported so far from the sur-
rounding country.
Blake to fte«lg;n.
Austin, Texas, July 27.—It Is learned
here on unquestionable authority that
Mr. Blake will resign the chairmanship
of the state democratic executive com-
mittee at Waco, Friday, when said com-
mittee gets together, and the anticipat-
ed resignation ts considered as equiva-
lent to an announcement that he will
run for governor. Senator Stafford of
Mineola Is mentioned as his probable
auecessor, his popularity and talent for
organization recommending him strong-
ly for the place. Hon. Win-bourne
Pearce of Belton Is also mentioned in
connection with tills position.
RzpreM CompanlM May rNlit.
Austin, Texas, July 27.—It Is learned
here that the express contpaules con-
template resisting the railroad commis-
sion's recently promulgated express
tariff, which Is to go Into effect August
6, and that an attempt will probably
be made to enjoin Its enforcement.
Should such a course be pursued the
state will retaliate with quo WRironto
proceedings and undertake to revoke
the express companies' permits to do
business In Texas.

A STORY OF HORRORS.
Starvation and Uwleasneaa Is the Klone
dyke Country.
Great Falls, Mont., May 24.—Frank
Moss, an old time miner la this sec-
tion, who four years ago was one of a
party of Americans to first visit the
Ivlondyke country, returned yesterday
and tells a story of horrors and starva-
tion seldom equalled even In modern
novels. He describes Kloudyke as s
placer camp 7 miles long and 18 miles
wide, located tn a sink, walled to by
boulders of rock 3000 feet high. Goto,
he saysp abounds, but no ordinary man
can stand the hardships of the un-
civilized region. When Moss left here
four years ago he was a sturdy fellow
over six feet tall. From hardships and
privation he Is a cripple fur life and
badly broken in health. In three years
he saw over 2000 graves made 1b the
Klondyke basin, a large majority dy-
ing from starvation. The steamship
companies bring in all the food and
allow no private Importation. Conse-
quently It is net uncommon to go for
weeks with but a scant supply and for
days entirely without food. The gold
brought in last week te Seattle, Mots
says, does not represent the (ladings
of Individual shippers, but a Urge pre-
portion of It was confiscated from the
effects of those 2000 miners who fell
a prey to hardships. At the death of
a man possessed of gold dust, hie body
was buried without a coffin and the
duet divided among those who cared
for him. With proper reliefs estab-
lished by the government. Mom says,
gold can be taken out at the rate of
$2,000,000 a month.
The richest strike haa been made by
a 21 year old boy named George Horn-
blower of Indianapolis. Iu the heart
of a barren waste, known as Boulder
field, he found a nugget for which tbs
the transportation company gave him
$5700. He located his olsJra at the And
and In four months had taken out over
$100,000.
Tbe richest section of Alaska, Mom
says, Is yet undeveloped. It Is 100
miles from Klondyke and is known as
the Black Hole of Calcutta. It Is In-
habited by ex-eonvteta of Bohemia and
murderers and riota take tbe place of
law and order.
A few months ago Klondyke organiz-
ed a justice committee and its law pre-
vails there now.
With the great crowds preparing to go
to the scene now, Moss says, hunger
and suffering will be great when added
to other hardships to be overcome by
those who survive. Moss returned with
$6000 tn dust and leavea tomorrow for
his old home at Dukuquet where he will
spend tbe balance of his years.
