Twice Married.

" Yes, I suppose it's all very fine

Eddie had taken a fancy to some one
who 'wouldn't have felt himself too
fine and grand for her pa and ma."
" I can't see but the, young man is
perfectly civil and respectful. And
certainly the mother has acted the
lady by you. Called, on you first,
and asked Eddie there to tea right
off. We should bear in ,-hind that
she never expected to make the ac
quaintance of plain folks like us."
" There was nothing else to do,
unless she* quarreled with her ion,
andthat she would never do, and he
the apple of her eye. So sh e made
the best of it. But I'll tell you what,
pa—l mean to have my own way
about the wedding, for all Mrs. Le
Roy's wheedling soft speeches."
Mr. Clark was more or, less absent.
minded when he came borne at night
from the store. It ' Was a minute or
two before he asked, as was expected
of him, "What do you mean, Eliza?"
"As it's to be an Episcopalian
_wedding, it has to be in church, and
of course there'll be a crowd, her
friends as well as ours.. And she is I
ashamed of us. She wants Eddie to
have Governor Reed to give her away
instead of her shabby old pa."
" Well, if Eddie's willing—"
"Eddie willing! Of course Ed
clie'd be willing if you_ was willing,
and you never could say No to a wo
man. So if libe comes along—Mrs.
Le 'Roy, I mean—and talks to you
about the social advantage it will be
to Eddie to go into church on - the
Governor's arm, don't you listen to
her. Just you say that you have left
it ,to the women-folks to settle the
wedding."
Mr. Clark received his orders meek
ly. He hoped , be would not be called
upon to combat the eloquence of
Mrs. Le Roy. He doubted that he '
could bold out against it, unless his:
wife were to back him. He 'sighed.
He hated to see Eliza fretted. It was
his nature to take things as they I
cube, but it was certainly not hers.
But ho bad never seen her so com
pletely upset as he was now.
Some mothers would have been
elated at the prospect of a daugh-.
ter's marrying above her, as the,
phrase goes, but of these was not
Mrs. Clark. She was satisfied with
her own station in life. She preferred
to keep to her own ways, and that
other people should keep to theirs.
She felt that she was as good as any
body else, and she did not desire to
be thrown with her people who held
a contrary opinion. -
The next morning camel pleasant,
cordial nom from Mrs. Le Roy, ask
ing the Clarks—fatber,mother,daugh
ter—to tea with her that evening.
Eddie wished to 'accept the , invita
tion, and Mrs. Clark could never bear
to cross Eddie's wishes. She there
fore somewhat unwillingly dressed
herself in her best, and brushed up
her old man. ".Now, pa, don't give
in to her, "
were her last words as
they were admitted for the first time
into the tsetuitiful Le Roy mansion—
really a mansion, built in Port Royal
in'the old colonial times. Mrs. Le
Roy received them with a manner
that liras graciousness itself. If she
made up her mind'to do ..a thing at
all, she did it thoroughly. She had
combated her eon's engagement to
beautiful Eddie Clark as long as
there remained. a grain of virtue in
the opposition. )low she had deter

huillyijan. She showed
..a propel'
genUlity in that at least. - ,
Abut!. Mrs. Clark was POirertesiio
['ltemapt a long, amiable 'We-tete
between the hostess and ter liusband,
during which George Le Roy 'tic:aired
her the various curiosities with which
the drawing-rooms were. - filled, and
Eddie played soft aims& the piano.
Eddie had been beautifidly• taught
at the Academy; her tact in - music, as
in other matters when she chose to
exercise'it, was great; ahe played in
that charming, pensite,twilight style
which serves so admirably, to 1111 up
odd corners and crannies.
George walked. home with - Eddie;
the husband and wife were together.
" I've done it," Mr. Clark said,
desperately, as soon as they were
fairly started. "She was too much
for , me; I couldn't help it."
"You didn't agree that a perfect
stranger should give away Eddie?"
" Yes, I did. After all, what mat
ter doesit make? Anyway, it can't
be helped now ; and it's nothing but
a fOrm anyway."
" Our only child I" groaned Mrs.
Clark, with - tears. flee heart was
very sore. At that moment she would
far . ratheltddie bad been going to
marry Joe. Thompson, a clerk in her
father's store, who had , been in love
with. bet for years, and who would
have been honored by the connection,
rather than blue-blooded George Le
Roy, to ' home Eddie's _ parents were
a thorn in the flesh, to be endured as
best might be.
Mrs. Le Roy carried the day; Mr.
Clark, haring given his word, held
by it like an honest man. The wed
ding . took place in St. Mary's, and
Mr. and Mrs. Clark were ushered to
their seats like all the rest of the
congregation, to see their darling
married. Mrs. Le Roy swept in' on
her son's arm, calm, cold, collected;
the bride followed, supported by the
white-headed Governor of the State.
In bitterness of heart her mother
heard her take the vows which made
her Edna Le Roy. It was a large,
dignified assemblage, in which good
Mr. and Mrs. Clark felt lost. They
felt quite equallylost afterward at
the reception _at Mr. Le Roy's. It
was a very melancholy satisfaction
to them to hear on all sides praises
of the bride's exquisite loveliness.
They seemed no longer to have part
or parcel hi the matter.
If Edna did not realize the pain of
all this to heri parents, it surely was
not because she did not love them.
She loved them dearly, with a ten
derness all her own ; but at that time
she was too utterly absorbed in her
own tumultuous happiness to be able
to conceive of there being a serpent
trail in..her paradise. She clung to
them with passionate kisses before
she started on her wedding journey,
and had almost to be torn from their
embraces; but this without probing
the nature of their regret and wretch
edness. She and George sailed for
Europe almost immediately. He was
a rich man, but he had a profession,
to which he proposed to devote him
self. For the next two years he at
tended medical lectures in Paris as
assiduously as though he had been
a needy student anxious to go to
work to earn a living. He and Edna
were very happy during ; those two
years; it was the life that suited Ed
ea—art and music 'and congenial so
ciety. o'he world was. even gayer
and brighter than her day-dreams
bad pictured it. Then a year of
travel. Then home.
Eddie had never known how- she
had missed her dear father and moth
er until she found , herself
,once more
clasped in , their loving nude.' How
had she done without, all this while,
their extraordinary devotion, their
blind infatuation-? She bad never
enjoyed her own two babies until she
had shown' them to her lather and
mother. Tears of joy and pride
rained down Mrs. clerk's cheeks.
Eddie's. little girls! , There never
were such beauties, such darlings.
Eddie's eyes, clear,' brown ,
eager,
with their father's eautiful, golden
hair. Fortunately they were suffi
ciently ,like their father's family to
win favor with their grandmother Le
Roy on that score-. On the whole,
she was satisfied with the appearance
("presented by her son's family. Ed
die's French toilets were stylish and
becoming; the elder baby prattled
in French in a distinguished way ;
the baby proper was a study for a
picture as she lay in the arms of her
bonne,whose picturesqecap and apron
were the first that had ever appeared
in Fort Royal. Edna really did not
do Gorge discredit ; she would be
well enough, if only it were not for
the v ulgar father and mother.
Still there were-no jars. But, all
the same, Edna grew gradually ha
rassed' and unhappy. It became pat
ent to her that , Mrs. Le Roy looked 1
down upon her antecedents, and that
(it was perpetually upon her mind to
instruct her in the different articles
of her own social creed. Eddie's
gentle soul rebelled. She bad her
own pride of birth. She hated Mrs.
Le Roy's arrogance and assumption.
-She almost hated Mrs. Le Roy. Day'

disadvantage
after day she felt that she was stiffen
ing and hardening before the icy
breath of her mother-in-law's surveil
lance. A word" here and a word there
will prejudice nitwit unawares.
George, for the first time, noticei
that his wife had defects; she lacked
self-control, self-possession. These
things would:come in time, but they
were an indispensable p art of the
equipment of a finished woman of
the world.
Gradually George began to object
to her frequent visits to her. parent
although never in se many words.
The argument he used was that she
wits so much away from._ , home ; he
saw im little of her. ' Gradually Ed
die abandoned this !point; but in
return she resolved that she mould
be equally chary of her visits to oth
er places. She establiihed a charac
ter of unsociability and ihdiderence
among all the Le Roys' friends in
Port Royal, peopie whom. Mrs. Le
Roy bad urged her to cultivate—
" for your-husband's sake, my:clear ;
a physician's wife cannot exercise
too much discretion in the choice of
acquaintances."
Gradually she did not seem to her

An unusual dtivotion "misted
Omen the mother and son.
Eddie was not a wise, woman:
She made no eflbrt to conceal the
bitterness in her soul from her own
parents. They knew she wits not
happy ; they . 'never • dreamed of
blaming her when day alter day
went by without their seeing her.
But' they did -bhurie . Mns. Le Roy,
and none the less ds they • salt Eddie
grow quiet and dull and changed.
George and she drifted fitrtheto
and farther. apart. , His was in inf. -
pressionable -nature, which
,speedily
fell away from the magnetism of - any
influence which was not vigorously
eierted. And be liked life and
gayety. Eddie's `mood chilled,ao
repressed him. He had no sympathy
for people with the blues. So be
sought amusemebt elsewhere. If
Eddie refused to return visits, the
more reason that he should visit
vigorously. , He was always - warmly
welcomed at" the ; houses' of his old
intimates. Tbe' Storeys, for in-,
stance, made as much of him as
though he were still unmarried. He
believed those girls would do any
thing for him. He showed Eddie with
somewhat of schoolboy triumph a
pair of slippers Minna Storey bad
worked for him in shaded flosses.
Port Royal—at least its exclusive
circles—always left borne in August
and September. The Le Itoys from
time`immemorial had' gone to the
Sweetbrier Springs during those
months. It was decided to carry out
this usual - programme, almost with :
out consulting Mrs. George'be Roy.
She, for her part, detested the idea
of going, as indeed she had ended by
detesting, all the Le Roys' doings.
Nevertheless Sweetbrier Springs
Was a pleasant place enough, in the
heart of the peaceful, serene moun
tains. It was not so far from Port
Royal but that George , could join his
family once a week, for which fact
Eddie would have been more than
thankful that she bad the full benefit
of his society when he did come..
But there was not many men at the
Springs, and Dr. Le Roy was hand
some and popular. His weekly ar- .
rival was the . '
signal among the idle
girls at Sweetbrier for a struggle to
monopolize his attentions: And
George was nothing loath. He
came up here to recuperate and to
have a good time, and when he ap
plied himself to have a good time, it
was with the same zeal witk'which he
had brought to bear upon the study
of his profession.
The Storey girls were his warmest
admirers. Minna Storey was as,be
witchingly beautiful as the typical
Eastern houri—all rounded curves
and dimples, soft, tendrilly brown
hair, and laughing, mischievous hazel
eyes. She was a girl who never
hesitated to follow the` bent of- her
;pleasures, although these at times
led her into somewhat devious ways.
She generally had a love affair on.
hand, although this was apt to be
not 3,3 much a flirtation as a romp.
At least this was the distinguished
characteristic of her present en
counter with Dr. Le Roy. It was
great fun, no doubt, but it could
hardly be said ' to be dignified. As
the weeks slipped by, the fact grew
to be an established one among the
other girls that Dr. Le Roy was
Minna Storey's exclusive, property.
Eddie was wretched. Those wo
men are perhaps to be envied who,
in similar situations, cultivate a
gayety which, if forced, at least
serves as an escape-valve. Eddie
was not only wretched, but looked
no. And George became irritated.
He actually was at last in the lion
dition of believing himself to befthe
aggrieved party.
One evening, when Eddie Auld
hung over the children until they
were asleep, crooning soft airs. to
them which always lulled them to
rest soonest, she wandered down
stairs with the vague intention of
finding George, and trying to dispel
the miserable cloud which had hung
between them now so long. A wish
to doer) had come into her heart as
she kissed her babies good-night.
She drifted down the great sounding
stairway, looking like a pale ghost,
with , her sad eyes and her flowing
white dress. She glanced out on the
different piazzas On her way: the
borders - were' apt to walk , and sit
about on these during the long eve
uings., But she did not see her
husband. She drifted through the
'parlors, where there were' card
playing, dancing. music.
" Look at ' Mrs. Le Roy. How
beautiful she is !" one 'person. re
marked.
" And how intensely unhappy I
Poor thing! • What' a pity that any
one with a heart should have married
George Le Roy I"
She stood in an open i doorway,
and looked up and down the piazza
on which opened the parlors. Ah,
at last ! George was seated with his
back to her, in a lounging, negligent
attitude. Facing him, in an attitude
equally negligent, was Minna Storey,
her dimpled Bacchante face upturned
to his; her white arms gleaming out
of the falling rose-colored sleeves of
her dress, and wreathed with Roman
pearls. Perhaps she was posingior
Lelia Rixikh or Some other Oriental
character, to whom stria& of pearls,
are appropriated in taba/eaux
vents ; at all events, her graceful
head was adorned to correspond
with her arms. She made •a slight
movement at the moment that Eddie
appeared la the doorway, with which,
her little white band fell against Dr.'
Le Roy's knee, and lay there care
lessly. Eddie's face contracted an in
pain. She came forward. Minna
changed her attitude, but with - nn
'visible show of embarrassment.
George glanced up. " Will you jOin
us?'! he asked, in an iinsympathetic,
superficial 'tone.
Eddie mused & moment, looked
down upon- Minna. , -Then she said;
icily, "No, thank you," and moved
away..
She was combing at her long Iriir

her , door. Still that rigid look on
her face, that hurt look in her eyes.

The stage clattered off amid a gay

to the hotel, who met Dr. Le Roy
the first of all in his no-top wagon.
" Hurry ! hurry.!" he cried. " The

George was off like the - wind;

- 'They gathered her up; and carried

thought that life was extinct.
I might quote 'pagesit rapport of
the assertion -that the -worth of. a

of losing it. Harshness, indifference,
neglect, dogged George Le -Roy's

Eddie lay speechless, .unconscious,

We often wonder if we would live
our lives better if we could live them
over again. Certainly Eddie and her

For one thing. When - Eddie went'
down from Sweetbrier Springs, in
the fall, to Port .Royaf, she found a'
lovely home made ready for her, of
which she' was the Unconditional
mistress. George explained, to all
whom it - might concern, that the Sit

than that of the Leßoy Homestead.
It was astonishing how easy it was
to get on with Mrs. Le Roy mere
after this. Somet lines, indeed, Eddie
wondered ,whether her. Nrcner trou-

Dr. Graham having passed a very
creditable examination before the
Army Medical Board, was commis
sioned as assistant surgeon in the
lJnited States' Army in 18—, and
ordered to report for duty to the
commanding officer at Fort M'Kavett
Texas. There were no railroads in
the Western country at lliat time,
and the usual way of getting to Tex
as was by the Mississippi ;River to
-New Orleans, and then .crossing the
Gulf to stage it up through the State.
Dr. Graham was very desirous of ex

•
permission from the War Depart
ment to go by way of ‘r Arkansiis and
the Indian Territory to his post.
On his arrival at St. Louis he ship
ped the greater part of his baggage
by the way Of the river, and taking
only what he could carry on horse
back, started on his journey. While
in St. Louis, at the Planters'
be formed the acquaintance of a gen
tleman, who, learning where he was
going, gave. him a , letter of introduc
tion to-his brother, who was a far

him on his road, and tell what
dis
coveries he made in the interest of
science; sufficient it is one day, to
ward dusk,he reached the house of the
gentleman to whom he had the letter
and dismounting, he, knocked at the
door and presented his letter to the
judge (even in those days. every one
was a judge in Arkansas), who would
not have needed it to have accorded
him an open-handed welcome ; for
travelers were a god-send, and news
was as much 'sought after then as
now. After a short visit he propos
ed to go on to the next town,
about
four miles o ff ; where he inten ded to
put up for the night. The judge
would not listen to his leasing, and
was so cordial in his desire for him
to stay that he would have been rude
not to have done so. The judge,
after directing one of the servants to
attend to his-horse, invited him into
the dining room, where he was in
troduced to the wife and daughter,of
his host, and also to' a'substantial
Western supper, to which he did ain
pie justice. .
After supper they adjourned to
the parlor and he entertained his
new made friend with the latest news
from the outside world. The judge
brewed some stiff whisky punch,
which Graham, socially, imbibed
quite freely. The_old couple retired
and left_their danghter to entertain
him ; and whether it was the punch,
or what, at all events he had made
hot love to her, and finally asked her
to be his wife and go to Texas with
him, to which she consented. She
being very unsophisticated and in
nocent, took everything he said in
downright earnest, and with her it I
was a ease of "love at first sight."
But I am anticipating. During the
night our‘friendithe doctor woke up
and remembered what he had said,
and it worried him ; but he said to
himself, after emptying his water
pitcher, "Never mind I'll make it all
right in . the morning. I must have
made a fool of myself. . She's lovely,
but what must she not think of me 1"
and rolled over and went to sleep
again. • Morning clone, and upon his
going to the parlor he found-the
young lady alone, for which he bless.
ed his lucky stars, and just about to
make an apology, when she said :
"I told mamma, and she said it
was all. right," at the same time giv
ing hini a kiss which nearly took his
breath away. "Papa is going to
town this morning, dear, and you
ride in with him and talk it - over;
but he won't object, I know." •
"But, my clear miss, I was very
foolish; and—" '
"No, indeed; you were all .right.t"
- Well, I will go to , my , post, and
return for you, for I must go on at

no use. When the judge started for

him: The judge saved him the trou

ing it himself:

her own way ; so it is all right; you
need not say a word."
" But I've grit to go on to-day."

said, " You ain't trying to - get out of .

"That's right. I will fix . every

The only important objection
which has thus far been urged against
the undertaking his arisen in the ap
prehensions expressed by a few scien
tists that the evaporation produced
by so large and so shallow a body of
water, exposed to the tropical sun,
would be sufficient to deluge North
ern Europe with incessant rainsond
to reduce materirlly the temperature
in all countries north of the Alps.
It has even been feared that winds
freighted with moisture- on crossing
the cold summits of the Alps, would
precipitate vast volumes of , ' water
and produce a degree of tlold • which
would give Denmark and Northern
Germany a semi-Arctic climate and
produce a glacial epoch farther north . .
It is not probable that. all such ap•
prehension arise out of a misunder
standing as to the topography of the
Sahara and North Africa ? • The en
tire region to be flooded is practical
ly shut in by mountain-chains on all
sides. The Atlas mountains on the
north, lifting theit snow-clad peaks
in some instances 12,000 feet afford a
sufficient bulwark Ifor the protection
of Europe from increased humidity.
lithe only possible northerly outlet
for air currents. from El Jiff would
be across Tunis in a north-easterly
direction over the! widest part of !the
Mediterranean. Currents moving in
that direction, if they reached Europe
at all, would touch' the shores of
Greece after they hadi - lost most of
their humidity. M. de Lesseps, after
a careful examination of the qoeation,
is convinced that it would result in a
general improvement of the climate
of Europe, rather than to its detri
ment. The advantage of the increas
ed evaporation! to North Africa can
not', be overestimated.- The snow
clad cliffs of Abaa, lying to the east
of the proposed sea, and the Kong
Mountains to the south, would bring .
down 'upon thparched desert grate
ful rains, whic h, with the assistance
of cultivation, would in. time no
doubt redeem thousands of square
miles from the desolation of the
sands. •
Anxiety does no good. 'lt never
paid a debt, or healed a .malady; or
prevented an accident. "Surely they
are disqueited in vain." Our. Lord put
this impressively; in , His sermon on
the mount: Which of you, by tak
ing thought, can add one: cubit, unto
his stature ? The conduct of David
on a .. .certain memorable occasion was
admirable in this respect. When his
favorite son was ill he fasted-and lay
all night upon the earth.' No doubt
that fasting was acelinpanid by earn
est prayer to the Great Disposer of,
events. But when the babe had died
he arose, washed himself and chang
ied his.gatments, commanded meat to
be - set before him, and went into the
house of the Lord. Mark-Ms words.
"Wherefore should I fast? Can I
bring back again 1" 'Let us remember
those words when we are tempted to
repine -over the inevitable. " Be care
ful fur nothing," your anxiety
„is' pro

positive as well as a ifegaeive side to

AN INSANE ARTIST'S FitzAic.—A
sensation was created rin Union.
Square, New York, by the appari
tion_ of a nude man rushing from a.
house into the square and startling.
the occupants of the seats about the
fountain, apparently intending to
take a bath in the basin. He was a.
man of immense stature and long
black beard, every feature of his face
giving evidence of insanity. He was
captured by the poliee and led back'
to the house from which be emerged,
where he had a studio. Becoming ,
calmer, he g ave his - name as Adam
Springfield; Pole by -birth, an artist
by profession, but soon relapsed into'
incoherency. It has heed ascertain-
ed that more than three yeirs ago_ -
he had been deserted by his wits:son
account of his failing - fortunes, who
had taken her two children with her
to the West. The neighborhood has
isitore Veen disturbed by _ his grow:
ing insanity: Springfield is- - not
-known to have any reldtives in this
country. In his room an unfinished
picture stood on an easel, oil paint
ings-were carelessly'scattered about
the floor, a couple of trunks lay' open
and above the mantel hung the gold
medals which attested the artist's
merit. Only one picture in.the room
had any r Sighilicance.. It was a staid'
one—the portrait of a beautiful, proud
woman=.-which was found with its,"
face turned toward the wall. Per
haps it was the reminder the unhap r
py man! still clung to of the woman
who bad abandoned him when his -
fortunes failed.
