BEAUTY'S METEMPSYCHOBI3. That beauty such as tbino Can die indeed VVere ordinance too wantonly malign! No wit may reconcile so cold a creed With beauty such as thine. From wave and star and flower Some effluence rare Was lent thee, a divine but transient dower; Thou wieldst it back from eyes and lips and hair To wave and star and flower. Shouldst thou tomorrow die. Thou still sbalt be Found in the rose and met in all the sky. And from the ocean's heart shalt sing to me, Shouldst thou tomorrow dio. —William Watson. MAT'S HUSBAND. She doubtless had a woman's reason for marrying him. That kind of reason may not satisfy other people, but it is in variably sufficient for the feminine rea #;oner. Sam Toms was what is called "wutfi less" by his Texan neighbors. Old Bill Bunn, his father-in-law, himself not a very energetic or useful citizen, used to sit on the steps at the crossroads store and publicly bewail his sad lot in having Bam for a member of his family. Bill had a dramatic style of delivery that was very fetching, and invariably im pressed strangers as being very much in earnest. He would sit 011 the steps, silently chewing an enormous mouthful of to bacco and apparently listening to the conversation of his coloafers. If Sam's name was mentioned he would give vent to four or five little falsetto squeaks, which found egress through his nose; then he would draw in a long breath, puff out his fat cheeks, purse his mouth, and give a heavy, whistling sigh; this would be followed by a large quantity of tobacco juice, carefully aimed at some object in the vicinity. These pre liminaries accomplished, Bill would rise to his feet, thrust one fat, dirty hand into his shirt front, wave the other in a sweeping gesture as he lowered his eyes and rolled his head sadly from side to side, and deliver himself profoundly aft er the following fashion: "Ah—hum! That Sam Toms is th' laziest, mos' sliif'less, o'nery, triflin cuss I ever seed—an yere I've done got 'im f'r ason-'n-lawr. Hin-hm-hm!" Another whistling sigh would close this perora tion, and old Bill would resume his seat, still shaking his head sorrowfully. And Bill was more than half right. Nominally Sara was a cowboy, but most of the time he would tell you he was "jes' layin off a spell, t' rest up like." He had alwaj's been just so—distin guished for laziness in an easy going community—and nobody expected him ever to be otherwise, and it puzzled peo ple immensely when energetic, capable Mattie Bunn accepted him for "reg'lar comp'ny," to say nothing of the sensa tion created by their wedding. Mat, as has been suggested, probably had some reason for marrying Sam, but it is quite certain that she never told any one what that reason was. Sam was tall and big, and handsome in his careless, slouchy way; he had always managed, no one knew how, to wear good clothes too. These facts and his perennial good nature and friendly ways were the only points in his favor. Against him were the points so forcibly taken by his father-in-law, and also that he got drunk whenever he could possi bly do so, and was morally so weak that any one could easily lead him astray. How Mat and Sam got along 110 one but Mat knew. Once in a great while Sam would do some work and earn a few dollars. If he got home with it without stopping at the saloon, well and good. But oftener than not he would "drap in jes' t' take a nip 'r two," and that would settle it. At such times he would stay and buy drinks for every body present while his money lasted. Then he would coniehome in a maudlin, tearful st-te of intoxication, and invent some tale to account for his condition and the disappearance of his money, winding up with the promise never to let it happen again. And Mat would pretend that she be lieved him, and would stroke bis curly head until he fell asleep. Then she would look at the handsome scamp for a few minutes with love unutterable in her eyes—the tired eyes back of which were a world of unshed tears. But she never complained—not the first word; the firm set mouth and weary look might indicate ever so much, but her lips never expressed it. And Sam grad ually grew more and more useless and shiftless, trusting to his wife's ready wit and fertility of resource to carry them both over the bad places. There were lots of bad places too. Twice Sam ran into debt several dollars at the saloon ami Mat found some means to pay the debts—only herself knew how. But the second time she informed the saloon man that he must trust Sum no more. And, besides these things, to live—how did they do it? Nobody could guess. Perhaps even Mat herself could not have told, yet live they did—or rather existed—and for the most part kept out of debt. Sam sometimes worked, but never for very long. He always found some ex cuse for leaving a place within a few days. Ho could almost always find an other job easily enough, for he was an excellent "hand" when he chose to be, hut he did not hasten about finding a new job when he had given one up; until they were reduced to the very last si raits could Mat get him to hunting work again. One day Sam left home for a ranch about thirty-five miles distant, where he had heard they wanted help. Two days passed—three —four—five—and no word came from him. Mat was not a little worried, although Sam had often been away for two weeks at a time without sending word to her. But this time it was different; there was 110 excuse for his not sending a message, as the stage came by the ranch he had gone to three times a week. If he had found work there, as he expected, he could easily have notified her. So, late in the after noon of the fifth day, she threw her shawl over her head and went down tc I" her father's to find if they had heard i anything of Saui. The old fellow was standing in th* doorway talking to a couple of strangers. "No," he Was saying, "they hain't be'n no person 'long yer las' few days | but what b'longs yere. Mebbe, though. I ho uiout 'a' be'n seed over yere t' Bacon's.; ; Ben thar? No? Waal, my boy's comin ! in f'm thar purty soon, an he c'n tell ye. \ Come in an feed; Jack'll be yere right j soon." Mat staid to help her mother with | the supper, and during the course of the j I meal learned that the two strangers | | were officers trailing a horse thief, who j had stolen a valuable horse at a ranch ; ; forty miles east and sold it at Pickett j I station, and who was believed to have come this way. I As she listened to the conversation a ' sudden nameless fear came upon her, I making her feel ill and faint. As soon | as supper was over she took her shawl ! and hurried home. | Somehow she was not surprised to find ; the door open. She entered hastily. I Sam was in bed, asleep aud breathing ! stertorously. He had evidently been j drinking, as his clothes were scattered I about the floor, and Mat, looking out | the back door, could see his pony stand ing patiently where Sam had left him, waiting for some one to come and feed him. Mat leaned over the sleeping man and kissed him gently, her eyes full of love. Then she turned to pick up his clothes and put them away. The trousers were heavy, and something jingled in one of the pockets. Instinctively Mat thrust her hand into it and drew it forth, clasp ing several gold pieces. As she did so her eyes opened wide, and she stood as if stunned for a time, her heart chilled with the same strange fear that had stricken her awhile ago and impelled her to hurry home. She rushed to the bed and shook Sam roughly. "Sam! Sam! wake up!" she almost screamed. The man turned over and looked at her stupidly. "H'lo, M-Mat! Yore, be ye? Gimme kiss," he said in a dull tone. "Not twell ye tells me wliar ye done got these yere things!" Mat's voice sounded broken and shrill. Sam sat up and rubbed his head, look ing at her in drunken wonder. "W-w-y, them—them thar, honey?" She shook him fiercely and said in a lower tone—a tone of earnest force: "Tell ine, Sam Toms, whar ye done got these yere coins! Quick now!" Her tone partially sobered the man, whose eyes opened wider as he asked querulously: "What 'n hell ye so all fired fussy 'bout? I hain't done nothin," and he laughed in a half drunken, half nervous way. "Sam, whar did ye git 'em?" He sat dumbly staring at her. "Sam"—her voice was full of horror— "did you steal that thar lioss?" No answer; but Mat saw by his eyes she had guessed the truth. Slowly the coins fell from her hand to the floor: slowly her head bent forward until her face touched the pillow. For minutes she did not move —not until Sam, who had been staring at her wonderingly, reached out his big hand and laid it caressingly on her bead. Then she sprang to her feet, her hot eyes glaring and her form trembling with anger and horror. She did not speak, but fixed her gaze on his face for a few seconds. He did not meet her look, and presently she turned and ran out of the door. Sam, almost sober now, called after her, but she did not answer. He got out of bed slowly and started to dress him self. Ho had almost finished when Mat, accompanied by her father and the two strangers, returned. "Thar he is—an thar's th' money," she said, and passed on out through the back door without looking at Sam. There was a jail at the crossroads; it was a primitive affair, but solid and sub stantial. It was a dugout in the side hill, and had a heavy oak door and great steel hinges and lock. It was plenty strong enough to hold a dozen men, all anxious to escape—and Sam Toms did not try to escape. He only sat still in the low, "dump, darksome room and tried to un derstand how it all happened. It must be a drunken dream—but, 110, he was almost sober, and knew where he was and how and why he was there. But—he could not understand. Had Mat—was it really Mat who had given him up? There must be some mistake. The big, strong man finally began to realize it all. He lay down 011 the bunk and cried himself to sleep like a child. It must have been about 1 o'clock in the morning when some one silently entered the house of old Bill Bunn, con stable. This some one entered by the back door, went stealthily into the room where Bill and bis wife slept, rummaged about a few minutes, and then emerged from the house. It was a woman, and 1 she had something in her hand, j Sam Toms was awakened a little af ter this by a rattling, jarring sound. He sprang up just as the big oaken doors swung back and revealed the fig ures of a woman and two saddle horses. "1 come f r ye, Sain," said the woman with a sob. "I done bring both ponies J ,an mi' clo'es. Lo's go, Sam; we c'n git [ 'crost th' rivah bofo' uawnin. Come!" i He clasped her in his arms, and they I I clung to each other a little while. Then ' Mat said, more sti oilily: "Come, Sam. Le's go ovali t' Mexico ] —an mebbe we c'n try an do better ovali thar." And they rode forth in the bright, free ! ( moonlight down toward the Kio Grande I ! —into a new and better life.—K. L. ! Ketchum in Argonaut. Tom Moore's Old Harp. ! Mr. George W.

SHOT HER SWEETHEART. Nora Bott Kills Mr Lover and Then Commit* Suicide. MORRLSTOWN, N. J., Jan. 4.—At White hall, a quiet hamlet on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge mountains, in Morris county, Nora Bott, a young woman of twenty-six, shot her lover, Edward Smith, through the brain and then killed herself J with a second bullet. For more than a year they had been keeping company, though it is stated that they were not en gaged to lie married. .Smith had not quite reached his majority. He was employed in the maintenance of way department of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad and boarded with his brother A bra in. So far 110 motive for the double tragedy has been discovered. Nora Bott was ap parently of sound mind and happy disposi tion. Nothing but good feeling seemed to exist between her and Smith, and their relatives assert that there had been noth ing wrong in their relations. There is a surmise that Nora might have become jealous, us Smith was seen walking with a Miss Small. It was also stated that Miss Bott was in love with young Smith to a greater extent than lie was with her. COLUMBIA GETS THE CUP. End of the Great Intercollegiate Chess Match.
