Jan. e, W7-U At Mrs. Hnynes' house, Madison Square, tlio t!mo nbout !) In the evening, and theoc caiion n wedding ball. Hnw the wedding ball ever became fash lonnble Is beyond discovery. When n house i to bo Illustrated by a wedding, It Is not mtirnliublc that the bride (whoso looks and npiienrance have to be rigorously considered) apart, nobody with any Helf-respect dreams f going to bed on the night preceding the leUghtful event. ISut supposing that the household does fall nileen, assuredly Its members will be awnko and up before cock-crow j and, there' fore, It may bo assumed that previous to sun set, nnd tho tuning up of the nightingale', all the assistants at marriages would be glad of a little re9t and quiet. ICrs. Ilaynes ball looked very promising, Ireih and bright ; for it is the peculiar ad vantage of wedding balls that everybody i9 invited and comes without question as to who ii who. So there aro generally numbers of nico people who, for the occasion, make themselves quite ngreeablo and familiar, al beit they would cut you dead in the neigh borhood of the avenue next morning. Mrs, Ilaynes was radiant, for she had married oirthe eldest daughter very well in deed; the bridegroom, with the most admira ble, proper spirit, had taken Alice on an extended European tour, and her mother w:u quite easy and happy in her mind, be came every parent in society is aware that when the eldest daughter is married well at an early age, her sisters go off soon and brilliantly. Mrs. Ilaynes numbered many daughters. some pretty, aim some well, not bo very plain as several odious persons said they wern. '1'liilip Hesiitone,' Mrs.IIaynes was heard to say by one of her dearest, and upon that occasion most envious friends, for tho poor woman's daughters had remaiued deplorably on hand an unconscionably long time. Mrs. Ilayuea was seen by her friend to hurry forward and welcome, with very con siderable earnestness, a gentleman, who had certainly left his youthful days behind. 'How glad I am to see you, Philip ; for I never expected you would cornel' 'I sometimes creep out of my shell,' re plied the gentleman, addressed, and in a very pleasant, cheerful voice. 'You should come out of it oftener, Philip perhaps, even, altogether.' 'Ah, and marry I Now, is not that what you were going to say ?' 'Certainly ; all young men ought to mar ry r 'So I say,' replied Philip Hessltone.cheer fully ; 'but, of course, the argument does not in the slightest manner apply to old men and therefore is not applicable to me.' 'You old I Why, Philip, you are not much above thirty 1' 'lie laughed. 'I admit I am not forty. but nearer it by twelve month than I was last year.' "Thirty or at least you do not look more,' said Mrs. Haynes. 'There, let us talk about it by-and-by. You must leave me now, for here comes other guests.' He bowed, calmly walked on,and sat him self in a quiet corner, whence he watched the proceedings in no cynical spirit, but as a man who looks in through an open door at a merry-making, or by chance turns Into a church and sees a wedding, that he may get through thirty miuutes before the hour o an appointment has come, or a train starts, Healthy, hearty, and fully occupied, Phil ip Hessitotic had no time lor cynicism. 'And who is that young fellitw,' asked the host's familiar friend, when they were once again seated side by side. !My dear Margaret,' replied Mrs. Ilaynes, laughing lowly, 'his case is the drollest of which I have any knowledge.' 'Indeed ! but he does not look dull, An ne' 'No, dear Margaret ; I said his case was droll, for he himself is one of the most solid and advantageous of men, and I should he .very glad to see him united to my Grace.' 'Ah ! I thought so,' said the friend, in an amiably malicious voice. 'But who is he? and in what consists the drollery of his ca-o V 11c is a distant cousin of mine, and his nnnio is Philip Hessitone. He is very well oft", perfectly healthy and a most useful fel low an agricultural chemist I believe he is called ; as you see, he Is good-looking, strong and not so old.' 'Thirty?' 'More about 35 ; but looking not more than tho age you name, because ho is one of the most temperate men in New York, and an incorrigible bachelor.' 'You startle me utterly I What a fright ful determination I Ah, you are smiling I Then his bachelorhood nnd the drollery of his case correlate ? Pray pray be quick aud tell me, or some troublesome guest will arrive, and you will be torn from my side.' 'At IS that noble young man fell in love with a woman qf 30,' Well, but why do you call him noble?' ltecause ho was constant.

I assure you I thought It was almost cruel to ask me, but 'But,' said her attenuated companion, In a masculine yet very amiable voice, 'being on a visit to me, she comes with you.' 'Miss Craves and papa are associated in somo kind of charitable work,' 'The suppression of all offences,' insisted Miss Craves. 'And she was visiting nt our home,,' said the young lady, 'and saw your Invitation, and so contrived that I should go on a visit to her, and then that is how I happen to be here.' 'How well you look, Bertie 1' remarked Mrs. Haynes. 'Oue would fancy you lived in the brightest house in New York.' 'Oh I papa is very kind and good 1' 'Of course,' said Miss Craves ; one of the best men in the world. We all know thatl' Here Bertie Ollyfant, as she looked about her with all the eagerness of a girl at a ball, who very rarely sees a dance, uttered a light cry 'What has happened ?' asked Mrs. Haynea earnestly. That gentleman,' said Miss Ollyfant, seated near the conservatory, aud looking about him, who is he ? A distant cousin of mine,' replied Mrs. Haynes. 'Shall I Introduce him?' 'And something more than a cousin to me 1' said bare-boned Miss Craves ; 'for he is one of the noblest of men, and my very dear friend.' 'Indeed 1' exclaimed Mrs. Haynes. 'Yes,' said Misa Craves, actually blushing as she made the admission ; 'and, Bertie, I shall be delighted to introduce you.' 'Thank you, Miss Craves," said Bertha 'Oh, I look older than I am I am onlv IT, while you look younger than I know you to ba ; although mamma' has told me that when you were very young you appeared quite a man.' He started, and then sald.suddenly.'What Is your mamma's name ?' 'She Is Mrs. Ilarre.' Immediately-fala aspect changed to one of disappointment. 'So you remember me now ? Do you also recall how I asked you to tell me your name, and how you gave me your card ? That is how mamma came to Identify you, Mr. Hes sitone. You see I have your name quite familiarly at the end of my tongue. But there was another circumstance which made mamma certain,and that was when she asked me if I bad noticed any scar on your face, and I told her thatas I was clinging to you, I saw a little, deep cut over your left eye ; and then mamma was quite certain, and will you believe it? mamma had tears iu her eyes, and said she would rather have you save me from danger than any other man in the world.' 'But I was of Blight use, Miss Harre. 1 saw a little girl at Newport, who had been caught by a fast tide, where she was busy watching some crabs in a pool. I waded to her it was not up to my shouldera and brought her back to the beach. That was all except that she gave me a kiss, and I gave her a card.' 'You never answered mamma's letter, in which she thanked you." 'I did not receive one,' he replied softly. Indeed 1 How glad she will be to hear that ; for she always thought you had never forgiven her. In whatever way could mam ma have injured you, dear Mr. Hessiton for she is one of the gentlest of creatures, and she has often said that your character was a rare one ?' 'But pardon my curiosity, if I ask you where I met your mamma, Miss Harre V 'My name is not Harre, Mr. Hessitone, though mamma's is, I am Bertha Olly fant.' All, your mother's name is Bertha, is it not ? 'Yes j I was named after her. But you have turned pale and you are trembling 1 Shall I call to one of the gentlemen ?' 'No, no, no I Is your mother quite well ?'( 'Quite. She will be so glad to know I have met you 1 I have often spoken of you to her, having noticed how glad she was to hear your name. I suppose she liked you Ollyfant, with a bright look ; 'I can Intro-1 when you were a boy?' duce myself, for I know the gentleman, and 'Yes,' he said, 'she liked me a little when I do sincerely hope that he has not forgot-1 1 was a boy, thongh at the time I looked ten me.

I lows .them to fancy themselves men. But Miss Craves and Mrs. Haynes looked at I how Is It that you are named Ollyfant, and each other in great confusion and amaze-1 that she is now named Harre 1' ment. 'This,' observed the latter to the spinster, as they both watched the young lady hurry ing away, 'this comes of her being reared in a house where there is no'society I' ' 'Tis one of the best houses in the world Mr. Harre's is, and he one of the noblest of men ; but it is quite true she has not been taught any of the amenities and proper oh servances of society. But pray pardon me, Mrs. Ilaynes ; I am afraid I have been ob liging you with one of the speeches they say I make far too loDg,when I am at one of our committee meetings.' Meanwhile, Philip Hessitone, perfectly at peace with himself and all the world, was dreamily watching the dancing, when he was startled by a fresh young voice, which said, 'Dear Mr. Hessitone, how glad I am to see you again, after all these years He started up. and took the pretty, white- glnved hand that was offered him, and fancied that he must be mad, insane, sud denly delirious, as be looked upon the face before him. Nearly twenty years of his life had sud denly fallen away, and he was looking upon one who had long been dead to him, but with this difterence that the face he now saw seemed younger and still more beautiful than the countenance he remembered as lighting up his extremely early manhood She had on a light, bright lace dress ; and as she spoke to him, he saw the fairy ma' terial lying over her heart pulsating in an swer to her beautiful excitement. 'You ate very good to know me,' be re turned, eagerly taking the proffered hand ; but I am so unfortunate as to be unable to remember your name, though your face ap pears delightfully familiar to me I 'Your memory is excellent to recall my features,' she said, 'after seven years ; unless Indeed, you confound them with my math' er's, for they say I am very like her,' Suddenly this strongand perfectly healthy man found himself faint, and the lights go ing dull and whirling, He took possession of himself the next moment, and said, 'Let us sit down unless you are being waited for.' I? Oh, no ; I do not know any one in the room, except yourself, our hostess, Mrs, Haynes, with whose daughter I went to school, and Miss Craves, who was so very good as to bring me here : and now I shall love her all my life, because I see you I' Philip almost blushed, but he respected the bright features and beautiful figure not any the less for these statements. He saw that she spoke from Bheer honesty of pur pose, and from no other motive. As for imagining that she was flirting, such a sup position could not have occurred to him b cause he bad no previous grain ofan idea that he was worth, or fit for, flirting with, But his heart was beating in a manner very different from Its mode of agitation now and again when he succeeded In any of his scientific experiments. 'But where was I so fortunate as to see you seven years since?' She laughed, with the most delicious sll very laugh In the world as she said, 'For years afterward I believed you saved my life, and I do really think mamma encoyr 'Poor mammal Papa died when I was two years old, and leaving her' poor. But you have (started again 1 Is it because you hear that mamma was poor ? Ah, suppose as a boy she was very kind to you, and that you are grateful enough to be sorry that she has suffered so much 1' 'Yes,' he answered, observing her with a touching look of pity ; 'that is just it.' I think she must have married for my sake, because she has always seemed a little afraid of Mi. Harre.'! 'Is he an unpleasant man I' 'No ; but he is a descendant from one of the French Huguenot families, and our house is very grave and JWilemn. We keep fast on the eve of St. Bartholomew, go to the Hu guenot chapclon the day of Blood, as his friends call it, and prayers and grace are al ways said in quaint old French.' Indeed I' he murmured. 'But that is rather a sad life for you, Miss Ollyfant, ii it not ?' No ; Mr. Harre is very kind but he re members how bis ancestors suffered. You will come and see him, will you not? I am sure you will get on capitally, for Miss Craves and you are friends why, you are positively blushing again, Mr. Hesiitone 1 and she and papa are fast and firm in their friendship, and though they scarcely think alike upon one question. Ah I and here she and Mrs. Haynes cornel" Miss Craves looked a little grim, as she said, 'You and Bertie appear to be getting ou capitally.' 'Cousin Hessitone,' said Mrs. Haynesyou must not be angry with our little girl, if only for her mother's sake, because she has been prattling. She is not in society, and scarce ly knows its rules.' Hessitone found himself oddly resenting In bis heart this attack upon his young ques tioner, as he replied, 'We are old friend? ; at least I am an old friend of hers ; and she has invited me to call upon her mother aud her father-in-law, and I am going to do so.' Tbee Bimple words completely routed all surmises on the two ladies' part, and slmpli fied matters exceedingly. Miss Craves went more glum, while Mrs Haynes looked very sympathetically at her daughter Grace, and kissed her with much emotion when that young lady (who had watched the couple through the long agony of a valse) burst Into tears. Within an hour Hessitone attempted to remember a quadrille, after watching the fig' ures through a couple of dances of course, with dashing Bertie Ollyfant for a partner and he acquitted himself not at all badly. That night, as he walked home, afte showing Bertie In the hall, and accompany ing the jobbed brougham, which Miss Craves displayed tor tha occasion poor spinster 1 she was left cruelly and unfairly in the back' ground that night, be it said, as Philip Hessitone walked home, he found the air fresher than usual, and his step lighter. 'After all,' he thought, 'I am not even middle-aged man yet." Home reached, he did not go to bed, but at thluklng thinking and turning matters over In his own mind, Harry Esmond, best of gentlemen,' he mused, 'married the mother when thedaugb By which amiable and well-managed llt tio speech, the kind lady meant to say : See how wise and merciful I was when I laugh ed at your lovel To-day I am an old woman, while you may still pass for a young man I See what you have been saved I And it was at this moment that the mem ory of the old love changed to a new shape and his new love dominated him. Yet eveu at that moment, ho was dazzled and confused by the strangeness of his position. He had been rejected because he was too young, and now he might be repulsed be cause he was too old. Just then Bertha entered the room, salut ed him, and silting down by her mother, he saw them side by side, and his memory and his new experience played strange havoc In his brain and heart. 'Stay with us the day, Philip, If you will,' said the lady. 'We are quite out of society here. Wo do not even dress for dinner, nnd Mr. Ilarre has expressed a desire to make your acquaintance. He has heard of you, and, I believe, admires something scientific you have done. He accepted the friendly offer, and in ten minutes he found himajlf at home, after the rare manner of those homes where few are admitted to break the calm of seclusion, arc so treated that they never wish to go away again, except for tho convenience and free dom of theii' hosts. The lady of that primitive home being called away to family duties, the task of en tertaining Philip fell upon Bertie. Utterly unsophisticated, and having lived among wise persons all her life, she found her position by no meana an awkward one. On the contrary, she was delighted ; and quite ignoring all benso of their short ac quaintance, sho threw herself, heart and soul, into the pleasant task of showing him her father-in-law's house and grounds, the labratory, his puritanical library and hi va rious scientific contrivances. 'And you love him very much, Bertie ?' 'Ye-cs,' she said honixtly enough ; 'I lnve him, but I am a little afraid of him, berau-e he thinks Puritan bbod the best in the world, and, therefore, he cannot think me ni goodjaa his own children not that he It t me see he thinks thU, but I know it must be so.' 'You mint feel dull ;in this place,' he said. The little fingers were busy with the but tons of his coat, aa sheanswered, 'I dare ay it is very ungrateful and stupid on my part, Philip, but how can I help it, If I mut lie gay and happy ? When Mr. Harre talk of the massacre of 300 years since, I look at the roses and think how they have bloomed !iuo times since then, and I cannot help fancying that it would be better to forget all about that wickedness.' 'But, Bertie' by this time he found him self growiug to use the diminutive of iter Christian name with complete familiarity, for it is astonishing how fast we sometimes mentally travel 'but, Bertie, memory some times is a very delightful quality.' 'Yes,' she said, 'when the the thing re membered is delightful.' 'Suddenly, growing hot all over, he made up his mind and he said' 'And would you feel like an intruder in my bouse, Bertie?' She shook her head. 'No,' Bhe said. And do you think in time a little time that you could love me ?' ' He said afterward he was so afraid of losing her, that lie was greedy to speak. She looked up in amazement. 'Why, I have loved ynu all my life I' 'All'your life, Bertie ?'

A lonely spot on the Arkansaa river, some few miles from tlie vicinity nf Bates' ranch wa the M'ene of the death of two horse thieves a few ilaj'H ago.

So a posse of men under the leadership of Deputy Sheriff Dave Withruw, of Costilla county, was or ganized aud took the saddle in pursuit. They struck the trail of the pally, and learned that tho stolen animals were in possession of two men. Little'time was taken for rest or sleep, and the posse pushed on, gaining on the thieves every hour. On the Southern Arkansas the pursuers were reinforced by three more men, who had consented to en list In the pursuit. About twenty-six mllea below Bates' ranch the thievea were sight ed, and later in the day were overtaken. They showed fight as the nearest of the pur suers approached, and the younger one of the two thieves uusiung a carbine and fired at the posse, without striking any one. Then the other turned loose with a revolver, and following the example of his comrade took aim and discharged two charges from his weanon.
