OXLY A DREAM.
A richly furnished room in one of
the principal streets ol London.
West End.
Its inmates were a beautiful wo
man, a handsome but somewhat hag
gard looking man.
The latter stood opposite the mir
ror, and though his face was turned
toward it, he seemed to experience
no great satisfaction at the counte
nance that met his gaze,
The two had evidently been argu
ing fome point, for the woman's
cheeks were flushed ana ner eyes
were humid.
"Do vou think I would forego my
engagements for a foolish dream ?"
he asked.
- "To release me. dear Ralph. You
seldom do anything to please me of
late," she pleaded.
"Bah I Look at your wardrobe,"
was his response.
"Oh, dresses and money yes, but
I counted upon more than tnat wnen
I left my father's home. Consider, J,
gave up everything."
"Yes ; and when will you cease to
taunt me about it ?"
"Oh. Ralph, I never taunt you
at least I never mean to. Fordve
me, I am thoughtless at times. You
know I love you ; but don't you sup
pose I see" and the charming face
grew more eloquent as the dark eyes
were brimmed with tears "that you
never cared for me as I cared for
you? There, don't look that way.
Only listen to me this once, stay at
home only to day. Lisetta is com
ing, and the poor girl will think it so
strange if you are not here to wel
come her. To-morrow the danger
will be passed, to-morrow I shall be
happy again."
"A woman's whim " he responded,
slowly drawing on his gloves. "The
thing is simply impossible. I made
the engagement Besides, I am out
of funds, and you know what that
means to me, I may say to us, while
in these very, very expensive apart
ments.
"Ralph, vou know I would willing
ly go into the meanest "
"Oh, stop, stop ! No more of that
I know that you dont know any
thing about it. You never lived in
a mean place in your life. You nev
er had a wish ungratified, ven since
you have known me, I am proud to
say, and you never shall. That is
why 1 must go out to-night.
"Oh, Ralph, Btop this way of liv
ing. I will be poor with you, live in
lodgings, leave these splendid mis
eries, go anywhere, and love you to
the end, if you will eive it up."
" 1 ou forget that I am prejudiced
against hard work," he said, turning
half aside. "I need a fortune at my
back with my luxurious tastes and
my beggarly experience. I thought
I Bhould have one, but there I was
mistaken."
"Yes, but who knows what may
happen ? My father loved me once,
there is no one to take my place, let
us try"
Then, frightened at the forbidding
expression of his face as he turned
upon her, she sank back, only ad
ding:
"If you would only stay home to
day to-night. Oh, if you knew how
fearfully real that dream was !"
"Why, did I shoot you or myself,
wife?" he asked, coolly. "Did I
scatter my brains (quite an unneces
sary commodity in my business) all
over the floor? Bahl what weak
things women are. I have had occa
sion to remark that before."
"Then you will go! You will not
heed?"
"I will go. I will not heed you."
"Then, Ralph, good by: I shall
never see you alive."
He burst into a low, musical
laugh.
"Ab, my dear, there s an easy way
to fill my purse. When that is full
of the hard, yellow rocks "
She made a gesture of despair and
bid her face in her hands.
"If this is to be our last interview,
hadn't we better play a little at the
sentimental ? Shall I kiss you at
parting ?
She sprang up and flung her arms
about his neck, bursting into a pas
sion of tears.
"No nonsense," he said, almost an
grily, as he disengaged himself from
ber embrace.
"You will neyer speak to me that
way again," she said, with an em
phasis so mournful that it startled
even him.
"What was the dream ?" he asked,
almost in spite of himself. "I can
at least hear it ; but I shall not heed
it, remember."
"It is not much to tellonlv"
and she looked up with a sbudfler
"the horror of it the horror that
never leaves me. I dreamed that
you were in a room that seemed to
me to be the apartmeat of a palace,
it was so exquisitely furnished. It
was an oblong room, and pictures
and statuary and hangings that glit
tered with gold, and panels painted
in the most exquisite colors, met ay
sight everywhere. I did not stop to
look at these things, however. My
attention was rivited on a long ta
ble richly draped in red. It did not
seem a dinner and yet then were
men and women seated along both
sides and you were in the centre.
Suddenly, I saw at your back a tall,
thin, evil looking man, whose face
held a terrible fascination. He
seemed to be full of power, and his
eyes gleamed and darted fire, like
the eyes of a basilisk. Tbe awful
eyes were fixed on yon, following
your every movement I tried to
warn you, but my tongue seemed
powerless to move, and my limbs
were palsied. Oh, how these evil
eyes followed you ! And presently
I saw what broke the spell of my si
lence that in one hand he held a
shining da-ger, and was only wait
set

ing his opportunity to strike you to
the heart'
"At last" she rose from the chair,
white as death "at last the blow
fell and at that moment the clock
struck, it was striking when I waked
up, but the hands seemed to stand
at a quarter of three. I screamed
but you never heard me nor saw me,
and then I awoke."
"And whose was the face?" he
asked.
If he felt any emotion as he listen
ed to her description of a place he
only knew too well, he gave taken of
none.
"How can I tell except to describe
it? A narrow, high forehead, black
curling hair, eyes brighter than dia
monds, a look of assured power, thin,
but handsome lips, tall, Binuous.
Ah, I shall never forget that man
never."
"No. He don't let people forget
him, once they have seen him," her
husband said, and then looked up
with a keen, almost frightened
glance as he still stood smoothing
his hat with his gloved hand.
"Ob, then, you know him? My
dream means something. Now you
will stay, oh, Ralph, you will stay ?"
she added, with supplicating voice
and eyes.
"Indeed I will not stay," he made
answer impassively. "1 11 go if only
to show you of what intangible stuff
dreams are made, so farewell, and
forget all you can," he added in a
lower voice and somewhat impress
ively. "If you don't see me again,
why, farewell, and meet your fate as
bravely as you meet me."
He went out humming and laugh
ing, leaving his wife sitting motion
less, a nameless' horror in her eyes, a
faintness at her heart that she could
not conquer.
How much she had dared, how
much she bad done for that hand
some, wayward man.
How dearly she had loved him,
how fervently she believed in him.
And even yet it seemed to her that
if only once 6he could compel that
better self of his to come out into the
light she might yet save him from
the curse that seemed hovering over
him.
She believed in her dream, rather
vision, she called it; and now be
had gone to his doom, leaving ber to
Buffer alone.
There was nothing to be done but
to endure her lonelinesss. If she
could but have followed him, as a
strange yearning possessed her to do
now. But how? He had taken a
cab at the door, and she was not
hardy enough to venture out, partic
ularly as a thick fog had suddenly
sprung up, obscuring the streets.
r or some moments she waited tne
room, her hands clasped, her breast
heaving with embSon.
"To be in this great city alone!"
she murmured, "and he leaves me
so often alone."
She went to the urand piano and
struck a few chords wildly ; they
seemed only ' to recoil in sound
against her heart
bhetookuoa damtr violin, but
the tones held no melody for her
now.
Suddenly the door was thrown
open.
"A lady," said the pompous ser
vant, with a doubtful glance at the
veiled figure.
Mrs. Forester came forward with a
cry of almost rapture.
Anyone wbo would have been
welcome in that supreme hour, how
welcome then his sister, whom she
had never eeen before.
"I thought Ralph would have
been at the depot," said the young
girl, after her wraps had been taken
off.
"You don't know what a time I
had finding you. I am afraid he is
by no means a model husband," she
added, laughing, little knowing what
pain she gave. He used to think
we girls never needed him, but, in
deed, I think he should have met
me."
"He would, I think, but for an en
gagement that called him away,"
said Mrs. Forester, a sudden pain at
her heart
Now perhaps she could while
away the hours of that dreadful
evening.
"How pretty you are, and what
lovely roome," said the young girl,
looking about her. "Do you make
tea vourself?"
"Oh, yes, always, Ralph likes the
tea I make better than anv oth
er." "But you're not happv," thought
the girl. "I'm afraid you'r neither
of you happy. Shall I sing for you.
They 6ay I have a very good voice."
Above all things 1 should like to
hear you sing, if you will not mind
my walking about I am restless
this evening."
"Of course, walk all you please,
and I will see if I am in good voice.
It was such a dreadful voyage, and
I am to make, my appearance in pub
lic to-morrow night
The evening passed wearily away
to Mrs. Forester. Hour after hour
she looked for her husband, who
sometimes, if he bad a run of luck,
came heme early. An indefinable
anxiety weighed her down.
As for the little Lissetta, she used
all her efforts to amuse her. There
were so many beautiful things to see
and talk about, that she would not
listen to any excuses for retiring.
"I don't usually go to bed till 12,"
she said, "and sometimes a good
deal later. Do yoa think Ralph has
gone to tbe theatre ?"
"I am quite sure be has not"
There came a knock at the door.
Lisetta opened it, honing to see her
rother ; then looked back with a
white, scared face, as she said in a
hoarse whisper ;
"He says they've brought him
home."
"Dead !" shrieked the wife, and
mercifully fell senseless.
It was well she did. She did not
see that ghastly burden, nor hear the
decision of the surgeon who was
called in, that the man was dead.
When she came to hercelf Lisetta
was weeping nver her, and the land
lady deploring that such dreadful
thing should happen to her respect
able mansion.
"Lisetta, dont leave nor cried
the nnhapoy woman.
"Never, dear. I am to glad I was
-.1 n
wiu you.
"And he oh, my husband !"
"Hush, dear !" and the girl fell
sobbing on her bosom.
"I must go and see him," said her
sister, Luting herself from the lounge
where she had fallen.
"Not for worlds!" was the ago
nized reply.
"I tell vou I will. I am his wife.
You shall never keep me from his
side."
"But, my dear, there are watchers
there."
"It makes no difference. I must
see my husband. Have they had a
doctor?"
"Yes."
"And there ia no hope?"
"No hope, dear."
"Dead ! Is my Ralph dead ? Oh,
my darling, my idol ! God has in
deed punished me."
she went slowly into the room
beyond. How still and stark and
white, that figure under the white
sheet
Two men sat by the open bay
window,-keeping each other's spirits
up. They were smoking and that
pungent odor seemed to oflend her
very much.
"How very little they care," she
sighed.
Lisetta had followed her only to
the door, then shrank back, leaving
the woman alone.
"Oh, my darling 1 if you had onlv
listened to me !" she moaned, as she
turned down the covering. "Why
wouldn't you?"
She leaned over, fixing her eyes on
the pallid face.
Long and steadily she gazed, hold
ing her breath, both hands pressed
over her breast, as if to restrain the
rapid pulsation of her heart.
1 he moments passed. Once she
looked up at the clock. It wanted
a quarter to three, and then, throw
ing herself on her knees, she took
her position close to the body, and
watched, and watched with strained
eyes.
W hat did she see? The men had
flung their cigars out of the window
and changed their places, looking in
awe at the strange tableau. The man
seemed marble tin the bed, the wo
man seemed marble at bis Bide.
"Hush !" she said, with uplifted
finger.
ihen one cry rang through the
room that brought every body in the
house to the room.
"There is life here ! I tell you 1"
cried the wife, hoarsely and rapidly.
"Run, one of you for help. He is
not dead. Uo quickly, waste no
time, for who knows, who knows?
Oh, fly, fly for help!"
Both watchers left the room pre
cipitately.
Others came in, and with careless,
pitying words, mocked her hopes.
' "I care not if he i cold, rigid,
senseless, there is life there, I saw it
Bring me fire, a coal, anything that
burns, and see if his flesh does not
blister."
And still they did not believe her.
Two surgeons came, by that time
they had applied tbe test, and be
hold the dead man opened his eyes.
Terrible was the story he told
when at last they roused him from
that deathlike trance. He had been
conscious every moment from the
time they pronounced him dead.
When'his wife came he felt the
deadly torpor stealing over his sens
es, but her voice, her lamentation,
her close watch, revived and heart
ened him, and he made almost su
perhuman efforts to show her that
he was not dead.
That close watching saved him
and made him another man. To the
wife be had slighted, wronged, in
sulted, he owed his life, and he had
manliness enough to remember and
confess it
His wound healed rapidly, and
when, a month later, they were re
called to America, on the death of
Mrs. Forester s father, be was able to
accompany ber.
A late repentance had resulted in
the alteration of the will in their fa
vor, and Forester found himself in
possession of the wealth he had so
long coveted.
But more to him than all the rich
es that now poured in upon him was
the love that had so guarded and re
stored him, and of which he found
himself unworthy.
The gambler, who had been accus
ed more than once of unfair dealing
by Ralph Forester, and whose losses
had kindled an animosity long cher
ished against his victim, till it result
ed in a blow from the dagger of his
assassin, was never heard from,
though a reward was offered for his
arrest
Lisetta was sent by her brother to

studies, and bids fair to astonish the
world with ber marvelous voice.

Entering the shop of his tailor the

"Sir, I owe you sixty dollars.

Am trashed Apaches.
Dark telegraphic head-lines have
recently told the people of the more
settled and secure portions of our
country that the skulking Apaches
had again begun their raid of mur
der and outrage, with the prospect
that they would continue in their
horrible enjoyment until, pursued
and pressed by bands of suffering
settlers, they sneak back to the fos
tering protection of their reservation,
to laugh over the rage of their pur
suers, stopped on the sacred pre
cincts of San Carlos by solid col
umns of United States troops. To
one who has seeen the broad, black
line of misery and distress that
marks the passage of these devils
over the country of New Mexico,
Arizona and Sonora, or has climbed
the mountain trails, dotted at every
quarter of a mile with little piles of
pebbles, the graves of Indian victims,
more affecting and appealing in
their loneliness than the most as
piring tomb of marble ; or has rid
den to the little hacienda through
the thousands of fertile acres, and
looked in vain for the contented
people that should have tilled the
adobe houses, and the bands of cattle
that should have dotted the hills;
to such a one the diffidence and
apathy of the people of the North to
the sufferings of those of the North
west seems almost cruel. To us the
news of an Indian outbreak is but
the unrolling of our daily paper and
a glance at the disjointed and inade
quate telegraphic accounts.
Down on the "line" a town is star
tled by the sound of a galloping
mustang, and the weary courier,
wounded, perhaps covered with
blood, stops in the main street, and
from his saddle tells the old story of
cowardly surprise and horrible mas
sacre. Then comes the mustering
of troops, the distribution of rations,
all with methodical slowness, and
from fifteen to twenty houH after
the escort reaches the snot only to
find the multilated bodies of the
victims. Miserable experience has
shown how futile are the slow move
ments, the martinet regulations and
the customary tactics of the regulars
to cope with the Apache brave, if
we can use such a misnomer. These
cowards, uniike the noble of their
race, the Sioux and the Indians of
the plains, never attack unless the
destruction of their victim is certain
and their own escaped assured.
Against such enemies the bravery of
our troops avails nothing, and they
are like men stung by invisible in
sects. Apache pick them off from
his secure hiding-place. In this
fighting the Mexican troops have
had a greater success, not from su
perior courage, but because they
tight the Indian with his own tac
tics. To them belongs the honor of
having struck the Apache raiders the
only mortalstiokethat they have re
ceived for many along year. To-day
the most admired military man in
Northern Mexico is Col. Garcia and
his popularity rests on a single suc
cess, known as the "Surprise of the
DasaUrande. ?io full account of this
affair has been published in the
North, and in view of the recent ex
citement a circumstantial one to
not but have interest Within four
weeks last past tbe writer had the
good fortune to travel one hundred
miles from the town of Oposura to
the heart of the Siera Madre Moun
tains with Colonel Garcia, com
manding about 500 men, and on his
way to tbe Rio Aros country, where
he hoped to surprise some Indian
villages. It was after a long day's
march over thirty-five miles of a
mountain trail, along which the slow,
serpentine file of the troops in their
white, lurco-lookingcostumes could
be seen encircling and winding in
graceful! curves for a mile or
more. The bugle han at last sound
ed the greatful bault for the night,
and the men stacked their arms and
camped on a rolling hillock, where
the country could be seen tor miles
around. On each corner of the
square in which the troops camped
was lighted a fire, and in the center
stood the solitary tent of the colo
nel. Here, thanks to Mexican hos
pitality, were grouped our party of
two Americans, the commanding
officer and the captains. The bright
fires showed the Mexican women
engaged in making the "tortillas"
and cooking "frijoles" for the scanty
meal. The soldiers, foreetful to the
day's fatigue and regardless of to
morrow s danger, were some arguing
over the trifles that among them
always can provoke ardent discus
sion, and others chanting with great
display and little musical effect some
fervent love song. At interlals the
rythmatical "Uno," "Dos, "Tres,"
"Quartro," of the tireless picket sen
tinel rang out clearly. The conver
sation lagged around the fire, and
the moment seemed opportunity to
get an account from the actors them
selves of the Mexican victory at Casa
Grande.
To our request Colonel Garcia
said that he had been witness to
only part of the engagement "But
you, Captain," he said, turning
around, "were in the midst of it"
The officer spoken to was a tall, slim
young man, with the beautiful eyes
and delicate, girl-like features so
often seen among our tropical neigh
bors. He, courteously drawing his
"serape" a little closer, and lighting
a fresh cigarette, began : "You must
know that not long since we were
scouting with four companies near
the "dead line," between Chihuahua
and New Mexico. The heat for
days bad been excessive, and our
search after the wily Apache fruit
less. The men were dispirited, and,
their provisions being exhausted,
the Colonel demanded our return to
the mountains and the nearest town.
It was a typical tropical dav. and
the men moved silently under the
scorching sun. The ground itself,
shaded by tbe scanty "mesquite,"
seemed to suffer from the heat We
had traveled since daylight and
about noon reached where the trail
began to climb the mountains
through a narrow canon. Here one
of our Badispe scouts, who had been
riding in the rear of the file, spurred
his Indian pony along the train, and
reaching the colonel pointed to a
cloud of red dust on the horizon,
saying: The Apaches!" The col
umn of dust was ten miVi off, bat
WHOLE NO. 1664.
our scout was a faithful one, and we
trusted to his warning. Entering
the pass the men were directed to
climb the sides of the canon and
hide themselves. How quietly they
lav, almost cleft to the roeks, tearing
almost to stir in the dread that the
cunning Indian nature would scent
tbe trap and balk the ambush.
Almost every man had some murder
to avenge, some outraged to pay.
In two hours tbe Apaches came hur
rying along to the number of 160
warriors, and the squaws following,
driving the stolen stock. To us the
haste of the Indians was a mystery,
but looking again we saw, about two
hours behind, the American troops
in hot pursuit But the pursued
imagined themselves safe, as they
had reached the mountains. Un
suspectingly they crowded through
the pass until our bugle gave the
signal for the first volley. For one
moment the Indians stood astound
ed, but then their wild nature came
to the rescue. With one accord
each man sprang to the nearest
cover, a rock or stump. It was use
less. Our men were perched above
them, and for four hours every
Apache head that showed itself be
low was a target for a dozen rifles.
To us it was a day of reckoning for
years of violence, and each man's
aim became steadier as he thought
of some murdered brother or friend.
Gradually the fire from the bed of
the canon ceased, except from one
spot There, sheltered and intrench
ed behind bowlders and safe from
our rifles, lay seven of the Apache
chiefs. The bayonet was our only
recourse for dislodging them. Four
times the bugle sounded the charge ;
three times were our men driven
back, and every time the unerring
Indians claimed one dead soldier
each. On the fourth charge our
men swarmed over the rocks from
all sides, and their bayonets tossed
the bodies of the hated enemies in
the air. From that fight but twelve
of the Indians were supposed to have
made thir escape. We killed in all
perhaps 170 men and women ; but
no loss inflicted on them repaid us
for the killing of our thirty -two brave
men. Both the fate of those victims
and the fate of countrymen who
went before them shall be remember
ed in the Mexican army until not
one living Apache pollutes the fair
face of our country." As the officer
stoped he rose and left the fire.
ror a moment silence hungover the
party, until Loloned Garcia, turning
to us with a smile, said : "Our young
friend does not look like a person
who could be very blood thirsty
or savage. o, we answered.
"We would, on the contrary say he j
naa a nature that was particularly
gentle and sympathetic" "Yet,"
continued the colonel, "in that same
slaughter that boy threw aside his
repeating nne, came out from am
bush, and, climbing to the edge of
the precipice, lifted large rocks and
dashed out the brains of the squaws
and papooses crouched in the canon
below. He received two bullet
wounds, and I was compelled to
send three of the men to compel
him to retire to shelter. His two
brothers were killed a year since by
the Apaches, and he has sworn re
venge. ho of us can say that nis
provocation was not great, and his
claim of justificatiyn wrong?
Divorce While Abroad.
Argument will be heard in Phila
delphia Court next Saturdiy upon
a rule issued to Major Azor II. Nick
erson to show cause why a divorce
obtained from his wife Memma
should not be set aside and al
imony allowed. Major Nickerson,
who is a resident of V asbington,
obtained his divorce in this city last
April, and three days after married
Miss Carter, a .Baltimore belle. The
application was supported by an
affidavit of the former wife charging
Major icaerson with fraud and per
jury. It is alleged that the Major had
a residence in this city lor fourteen
montns, although be was here only
eleven times, and during that period
the divorce was applied for and
obtained. The first Mrs. Nickerson
is a near relative of the historian
Bancroft She met Major Nickerson
about twelve years ago wnile living
with her mother in California, and
married her there. According to
Mrs. NickersonV affidavit she went
to Europe with her daughter in 1SS0.
at her husband's solicitation, and
while there Major Nickerson took up
his residence in this citv and pro
cured the divorce.
About three months ago Mrs.
Nickerson received a dispatch from
her mother, informing her that her
husband had obtained a divorce and
married again. Mre. Nickerson,
horrified by the news, immediately
returned to America, arriving in
Philadelphia last Friday. She found
that her husband had obtained the
divorce on the ground of disertion.
No personal service had been made
upon her, and the necessary adver
tisement in the newspaper had not
come to her notice. By an
outrageous custom prevailing in the
civil Courts of this city it ia charged
that the proceedings were conducted
with the greatest secrecy. The alle
gations made in the libel the divor

Coleman, the examiner, says that a
strcng case was made out Silas W.
Pettit, who was Major Nickerson a
connael, deolares that he took every
precaution to see that no legal or
moral wrongs was done. Major
Nickerson was retired from the army,
at his own request about a year ago,
on account of wounds received dur
ing the war, and since 1878 has been
a member of the fashionable clubs
