IIS 'W0,I A WIFE ON THE ELECTION.
'Where's tho marriage license olllcer?'
He was a neatly dressed young man, and
his faco was fahly beaming with happiness.
Ho held a copy of a morning paper with a
big picture of 'the same old coon' on the
front page in his hand. The question was
directed to a group of lawyers standing on
the front steps of the new Court House
bright and"early this morning. The way
to liegistcr Conner's stronghold was point
ed out, and as tho youth was winding up
his profuse thanks one of the lawyers said:
'You seem happy this morning. Did the
election strike you correctly?'
Yon bet it did If the election hadn't
gone as It did I wouldn't be here this morn"
ing.'
'How's that?' x
'Well, I don't mind telling you. "You
see, there was another fellow in love with
the girl I'm going to marry, and she didn't
know herself just which of us sho liked
best. Wo both asked her to marry us, and
to got out of tho snap, she that If Harrison
was electcd'she would be mine. If Cleve
land won tho other'fcllow was to get her.
tell you I felt shaky last night, but I'm
all right now, and I'm going to get that
license out before they get a chance to
count us out in sonic of the doubtful
States.'
JUBT THE SAME.
Prob.ialy the meanest-looking specimen
of the canine race ever seen in Detroit was
following at his master's heels ou Griswold
street yesterday. A policemen whose
curiosity was aroused halted the man and
asked:
"Is that your dog?"
"Yes, sir."
"Pretty locky, isn't lie?''
"lie is. You can't say mean things
enoughof him."
'.'AniTjou'll sell him cheap?"
"Yesfor 10 cents."
"Ilut If he should gel into a fight with
another dog?"
"I'd pull off my coat, and whopso and
rustle and lick ten men If 1 could get at
them."
That's human nature."
It is. A dog Is a dog, no matter how
homely he Is. Just put somebody up to
kick I'hltagrus once, and sec how I'll holler
for gore."
AN ARTFUL DODDER.
A lady came out on the steps of a house
on Dullle'.d street and called aloud In sweet
persuasive tones:
'"Georgee, dear!'
There was no answer, and she looked
anxiously up ami down tho street and
again called, but In a finer lone: -
'Georglel'
Not a word. Taking In Ihu cntlro hori
zon with one sweeping; comprehensive
glance, she made a trumpet of her hand
and called shrill and sharp:
'George!'
Then a little pair of scurrying feet came
around the corner of tho house, accompa
nied by a round, Innocent face much
stained with watermelon juice, and a sweet
voice lnqulted:
Did you call me, mamma?'
Words of cheer Hurrah! Tiger!
Tho rag-gatherer's business is picking
up a little.

MRS. VECTOR'S PRIDE,
11Y OtHSKIIVK.
Down.lhe narrow, woodland path to the
green, shady glen.whcrdt. handsomn young
man paced to and fro impatiently, moved a
slender, white-draped llgttrn with cagei,
radiant face.
The deep blue ej os were alight, and a
little Hush dawned on the fair, soft cheeks.
She hastened forwaul with both small
hands outheld.
Oh, Lee, I am late.-but I couldn't help
it," she said, almost breathlessly. "Mrs.
Jlarks kept me so long over that horrid,
musty IIudibras,' but I escaped at last "
And hem you are," finished her lover,
taking her hands and drawing her closer.
How radiant you look, Ilcne."
"Ilut you are just tho reverse positively
gloomy," she said lightly, then looked
more seriously into his faco that woro a
look seldom seen there. " H'hat is it, 7.ce?
Your lips are stem and there are wrinkles
between your eyes."
"Nothing, dear."
"Oh, but your very tono refutes that
statement something has gone wrong.
Tell me.'
'Well, I had a few words with mother
before I cama out that's all," ho said, a
trltle abruptly.
Ilcne Arnold looked thoughtfully at hhn
an Instant, men tain one nanu on ins
shoulder.
"I.ee," sho said, all levity gono from her
tones, "you were speaking ot me. un,
why must I bo a souico of discord between
you you two who wcro always all hi all to
each other, who never engaited In a dis
pute till till wo met. A few words, you
say they were bitter words, then. Lee, for
you never look like that unless iho;ly
moved. Why docs she hate mo so?"
"She docs not hate you, lteno; but let us
peak of other thing i, let us bo happy
while we can."
Ho smiled, but there was something in
tho emllo that deeply troubled her.
"I cannot be happy, knowing your moth
er thinks of ine in such harshness," she
said, "I wish I could win her love."
'You would Mift have lo subdue her
pride," thought I.ee Vcntor; but ho oulj
placed one arm round the girl's plastic
wall and kissed the drooping lips.
"You havo won my love bo conlcpr,"
he said softly. "Nothing can ever part, us,
llttlo sweetheart."
And T.enc, stulllns, never dreamed how
soon those words would como to her like a
mucking echo how soon her youthful
heart would bear the burden of a gt eater
crlef than she had ever known.
The moments Hew by unheeded mini
five chimes floated out upon tho summer
ntr. then Ilcne left her lover, and as she
made her way back to the villa of Mrs.
Jarks her old troubled thoughts fell upon
her.
"I have brought all this unpleasantness
Into the Ventor family." she thought
"How I would love I.eo's mother If she
would but permit me; but her cold glances
and brief words tevcal but too plainly her
feelings. She dislikes mo because Lee has
sought to win ine, and I am hut a poor
clrl, a companion to her friend, while he is
tltn Datriclan Mrs. Yentor's-son. I wish he
were a poor man, I do, Indeed."
So musing, she found herself in the hall-
wav of -he villa, with Mrs. Marks before
htr.
"Jiss Arnold," sail the low trained
voice, "if you will step into the parlor you
will fiiid Jfrs. Ventor awaiting you."
Mrs. Ventor! The warm blood rushed
to Rene's cheeks, and her heart began to
throb painfully. Leo's mother to seeher!
Ah! this could portend nothing pleasant
ROUGH
and, wllh f troubled falnlness upon her,
Hene went to meet the haughty lady, who
measured her with a critical eye ere she
spoke.
Jlow uncompromisingly cold and digni
fied sho looked, how grim was the expres
sion that tested upon the aristocratic fca
tuics. how chilling the eyen tones.
"Miss Arnold, I haye come to sco ou
about a strange matter; my mission Is not
an agreeable one, but duly Is often distaste
ful."
Kent' bowed her golden head and clasped
hci hands nervously.
"I know that my sou Lee has become
Infatuated with you, and will not. listen In
reason; therefoie 1 must make my apiK'.il
to you. 1 feared lest In a moment of mud-
ness hcwtmld actually ask you to mari
hiiu, and of t-oinso I could guess your
answer."
Her tone was oven more, flinging than
her words, and pour liclie glow de.tlhlj
pale, then she looked steadily u icr,
.Madam, I havo given my promise lo
your son. 1 do not think there was mad
ness on his part, or presumption on mine,
II e lovn each other. My motives arc not
llio.ie jon would Impute lo me."
' You have promised," exclaimed Jrs.
Ventor. "Then that promise must he re-
called. No son of mlno can wed a poor
dependent, a daughter of the people, a girl
who has naught but a fair face lo recom
mend her. What Is mero beauty beside I lie
rank and prestige of the Vontors? Not
presumptuous?-why, Miss Arnold, it was
tho height of presumption on your pail to
think you would ever bo received into our
family, 1 did not intend lo speak thus
plainly, nut jour audacity has so provoked
me."

you will not respect a mother 'feeslngs,
lls.cn to my words noiy: If jou refuse to
bre ik the bonds that he was foolish enough
to forge, then I shall disown him."
"Disown your son!" casped Ilcne.
"Yes, ho lias no legal claim. I will tell
you now, ho is the son of my second hus
band; my wealth came tome from my first;
for the Vcnlors, though of high birth, have
not been wealthy in these latter days; so If
you refuse lo rccognino my claim and ap
peal, I will make him a beggar."
Itene know she was a woman of her
word knew there was no hope of mercy in
her. If she married Lee Ventor he would
he beggared for her sake,
"Oh. you are cruel!" she faltered.
"I am proud," replied Mrs. Ventor.
"Will you choose?"
A long silence, and then Itene raised a
haggard face.
"I release hhu!" she broke forth.
"And you will go away without, seelns
hhn again?"
"Yes yes."
"It Is well," said Mrs. Ventor; and draw
ing tier costly mantle about her, she went
away without a thought of the misery that
filled the young girl's heart-
"I havo saved my son," sho thought.
Itene kept her woid; she left the place
that night, and Lee could find nnchnv to
her whereabouts. Jin did not guess his
mother's agency; lie thought some strange
caprice had sent the girl from him, and
yet, recalling her lovely, loyc-llt face, he
knew that she loycd hhn, and could not be
lieve she was unfaithful; yet ho could find
no trace of her, and no word came, so hope
died within him.
t
Down a nauow stiect leadim from a
crowded thoroughfare a man slowly moved;
It was early evening and tho street lamps
sent forth a faint glow.
Near tho corner the solitary pcdcstilaii
saw a female figure leaning upon the Iron
railing of his own mansion, and something
In her attitude drew hhn to her side.
"My good woman are you ill?" he In
quired, and then started back at the sight
of tho white, anguished faco upon which
the light shone full.
"Who are you?" ho gasped. "Yoif havo
the face of Inez, my dead wife."
"1 am Reno Arnold."
"Arnold that is my name, her nanie,''
said the man tremulously. "P.ut you aro
suffering let me assist you to my home."
Once within the mansion and recovered
from her weakness, which was tho result of
fatiguo nnd hunger, for lteno had long
sought employment unsuccessfully, the girl
told her story to her now friend.
"Liste.i to mine," said the man huskily,
"1 am Itupurt Arnold, and twenty years
ago I married a fair young girl, Inez Gas
pare!. I was insanely jealous and sho grew
to fear me; at last my harshness drove her
finm me, I sought her in penitence, but
alas, 1 found that she had died in a distant
land and her baly had been cared for by
strangers. My wife dead, my child miss
ing, I wandered forth a heartbroken man.
You are that, child, I know It You have
my name, yo".r mother's lace. Your claims
and mine shall be established."
They were established without a flaw,
and lteno Arnold, the "poor dependent,"
became a hello and heiress. Her joy was
complete when Lee Ventor came to her In
answer tn her summons, and claimed her
for his promised bride.
Mrs. Venlor was kept in ignorance of the
affair till after all arrangements, were made
for the wedding; then her heart was made
glad by the announcement that Lee was to
wed an heiress who bore a name as dis
tinguished as her own.
Imasine her fcelln.ts when she stood face
with the girl sho had so outrageously
scorned and Insulted! for the first time her
proud spirit shrank; but Rene was too hap
py to hold malice, and advancing to the
elder woman'I'slde, she held out her hand
wllh a sweet smile.
Yet her words, though uttered uncon
sciously, contained a thrust,
"Lot us forget the past, Mrs. Ventor,
Lea and I are happy, and your pride Is sat-.
Isfied. I forgirs you froelyjorvf?,mutj
friends now." ' ' '
After all, Itonc owed that lady' a debt of
gratitude, perhaps, for ItwasMre, Venter's
pride that drovn her out Into the world
and Into the arms of her long unknown and
repentant father.
