BESSIE'S FALSE LOVER.
"B'
ESS1 10 1 BESKI E I " called Grand-
mn Boss from the pantry, " them
nleii Is Ituriiln'. I'm cure. Look In the
oven quick, child."
Hut there was no quick " tap, top" of
Bessie's high-heeled shoes across the
floor, In answer i and grandma herself
was fuln to hurry across thekltehen,and
illng wide open the oven-door.
Alas for the Western housewife's pride
and glory I The pumpkln-ples, so well
shaped and golden when 'placed In the
oven, were now only a heap of black
en oil, smoking ruins.
" Icar 1 dear 1" said grandma discon
solately. "And here It Is almost meet
ing time, and no time (o make any
moro. Where can Bessie he V I never
knew the child to do suoh a careless
thing before."
" What are you scolding about, grand
ma V" said the sweet young voice grand
ma loved best to hear. " I heard you
clear up-stalrs."
"And what on nlrth was you doln' j
up-stalrs, Itessle Itoss, I'd like to know V
anil these 'ere pies all burnt to a crisp !
)eitry me I"
" Oh, I'm so sorry, grrndma. 1 will
make some more, though. Don't,
scold."
The bright, pretty face lifted to theold
lady's just then was enough to disarm
the ancient Xuntippo if she had been
there In person, and (Iraudmii Boss
couldn't hold a candle to her for scold
ing.
" Hut you can't make any more," she
said. Them black ponlcsil bo up here
in a JUIy, now, to take you to meeting.
Wasn't you up-stuirs looking at thut
new dressjust now V"
"Never mind," laughed Itessle;
though a tell-tale blush stained her
check as she rolled the sleeves down
over her round, white arms, and hung
her big kitchen apron on Its nail behind
the door. " I'll be all ready long before
the pontes come. Don't you worry."
" Listen," said grandma; "I hear
buggy-wheels now."
Itoth went to the door, light-hearted ;
Itessle little suspecting that what she
should see would spoil her happlness,not
only for thut duy, but for many days
thereafter. The black ponies were truly
dashing through the lane; the glittering
wheels of George Howard's new buggy
spinning merrily round in a cloud of
dust, ond George himself on the seat,his
firm hand on the reins. Hut lie did not
pause for Bessie's little brother to open
the great barnyard gate, and then whirl
lightly In, as he had done every meeting-day
before for two years. No: there
was another figure on tho seat besldo
him, a slender, stylish figure, in a robe
of Bhlmmering gray silk, and a hat of
white luce and flowers, a bridal-hat,
plainly to be seen. Neither head was
turned toward the farm-house , but who
shall say that deep down In Oeorge
Howard's heart there was not a shiver
ing of remorse and shame V for he knew,
as well as if he had been looking, how,
shading her eyes with the little hand
upon which gleamed the ring he had
given her for a birthday gift ; a betrothul
gift also he knew she thought it was.
And he had intended she should think
so, though all the while upon the hand
that now clasped his arm there had
shone another and a costlier ring that
truly meant betrothal. It was a shame
ful betrayal of trust, a shameless flirta
tion, on his part, he knew; buthe meant
to carry it off bravely to-day, with his
haughty bride by his side.
"There, now," said Grandma Itoss,
" I shouldn't a mite wonder If George
Howard has married that stuck-up Alice
Horsey, after all. I heard some say, lust
meeting, that he went to see her pretty
steady. Didn't he say nothin' to you
about it, Itessle, child?"
The keen blue eyes turned suddenly to
the spot where the girl had stood. But
Bessie was gone. Out of the back door
into the orchard she ran like a wounded
deer, until she fell prostrate on the vel
vety grass beneath the old apple-tree
that rained its white blossoms down
upon her.
The blow was cruel in its suddenness.
If she could only have seen him grow
Ing colder, drifting away from her, she
could have borne it better ; but only last
sabbath night, as he kissed her lips, he
had called her his "little wife," words
that always brought the bright blood to
her cheek and brow. And now 1 No
wonder that she cowered in the grass,
and hot tears of agony and shame
streamed from the dark eyes. She had
never doubted that he was married.
Some way it had never entered her
mind that It might be a mistake ; for, al
most unknown to herself, there had al
ways been mingled with her love for
George Howard an clement of distrust.
Her own soul was too spotlessly pure not
-to recognize the falseness of his. And
now bow she thanked God that she had
always been bo cbarry of caresses and
endearment that he bad called her his
" little prude" I That one kiss last Sab
bath night was all he would have to re
member and boast of to his proud wife;
all that she would have to remember in
a shame that made her loatho the Hps
she had touched. It was a hnrd blow,
Bessie Boss, But, dear child, you still
have much to thank God for. Oh 1 If
there Is one punishment greater than
another, when God shall Judge his crea
tures, will It not be given to such men
as this Georgo 1 toward, who only lacked
the opportunity to becomo more than a
murderer ?
" Bessie 1 Bessie Boss I called grandma
from the porch. " Come, child, and get
ready for meeting."
She was not blind, tho dear old lady;
but, judging from her own remembered
girlhood, she knew Bessie was best left
alono for a whilo. Hhe knew, too, that,
with all her gentleness, Besslo was
proud, and would not ask sympathy, or
wish to receive It.
Her pride came to her rescue now.
"I will go," she thought. "His
triumph would be too great If 1 should
stay away."
And she hastened to the house.
" Suy, Besslo," said Willie, meeting
her at the door, " did you see your feller
goln' by with thut other girl V Didn't
you"
But here lie wits caught by the shoul
ders, and whirled round so fast that his
speech was utterly demoralised; and,
when he stopped, he looked up In such a
bewildered way, that Involuntarily a
laugh rang from Bessie's Hps.
" I rid uliid you can laugh, Miss
Bessie," said Willie's tormentor, look
ing in mock gravity at the girl; "for
verily I thought It was a ghost slipping
out of the orchard, and thought I would
stop Willie before ho offended you."
" Needn't whirl a feller's bruins out,"
grumbled the boy, retreating Into the
kitchen, leaving Bessie and her " big
cousin," as she always called Harvey
Lane, alone on the porch.
" Hurry, Bessie," was all he said.
" I'm going to saddle ' Black Queen' for
you. Don't you think you would like
that better than to go in the 'express'
with theold folks?"
" Of course I would," she said grate
fully, looking Into the honest blue eyes
above her; " but they never will let mo
ride her alone, and I never thought of
your going to Saturday meeting. I'll be
ready In live minutes."
" It was no use telling her," thought
Harvey, looking after the little figure
with a tender light in his eyes, " that
the only reason I am going to Saturduy
meeting now Is because she Las no one
else to go with her."
But Bessie knew; and mingled with
the love she had borne for Harvey Lane
as her true friend from childhood was a
new feeling of gratitude and apprecia
tion. They were orphans, these two, one
the child df the only son of these old
people, who met ills fate at Gettysburg,
leaving his child to his mother's tender
care; the other, only an orphaned
nephew, whose home had been on the
farm since his earliest recollections, and
who, since the death of their son, had
become the mainstay and pride of the
old people. Bessie had never thought
of Harvey iu any other light than that
of a dear friend and relative, and, since
her Intimacy with George Howard, had
seemed almost , oblivious of his ex
istence. And.though Harvey had loved
Bessie with a far different love than that
of a cousin or a brother, he had been
obliged to content himself with this.
In little over tho live minutes Bessie
had given herself, she stood at the block
toward which Harvey led the prancing
horses, and in less than five minutes
more they were galloping away over the
smooth, hard road toward the little old
church.
For a mile,no word was spoken ; then,
as Harvey adjusted his bridle, he said :.
" I suppose you saw the new-married
couple tills morning V"
How thankful the girl was, that just
then the nervous system of Black Queen
was so very much shocked, by a cow
that lazily rose from a fence corner, that
for the next few minutes she demanded
all of Bessie's powers to keep her in the
road! When both her nerves and
Bessie's were quieted, the latter replied
quite composedly :
"Yes, When were they married,
Harvey V" .
"Last night," he said, watching her
closely."
Itut the dark eyes looked unflinching
ly into bis, and the red lips did not
tremble.
He did not tell her that iu his pocket
lay hidden the note of invitation which
George, to add insult to injury, had sent
to him and to her ; though it was hard
to keep from doing so.
" I expect we will pass them on the
road," he said, for George had to stop at
home. Look! there they are just la
front of us, Bessie."
Bessie looked, and in obedience to a
sharp stroke of the whip, Black Queen
bounded forward swift as a bird. Harvey
followed, and the two dashed past the
two In the buggy on a mad gallop,
Bessie's brown curls floating in the
breeze, with the long white plume of
her hat above them, her bright eyes
dancing, and a touch of scarlet In her
cheeks. Harvey sat erect and graceful
in his saddle; and George,wltli his new
made bride beside him, could only
think,
" How proud and happy that fellow
looks I and how pretty and bright Bessie
Boss Is!"
And Bessie thought, too,
" How handsome Harvey Is I Wonder
I never noticed It before. And so much
better than George;" stealing a glance
at her " big cousin," that, If he had seen
It, would have made his heart beat
quicker.
They had reached the church, unit dls.
mounted, and were standing in a group
of the other young people of the neigh
borhood, chatting gayly, when George
tlrove up.
Of all the crowd, Bessie was first to
congratulate the bride and groom ; and
there was not a shadow In her eye or a
tremor In her voice as she pronounced
the usual " I wish you much Joy,"
though Geoigc tliotlght ho could detect
a slight tinge of sarcusm In it.
Her hand did not tremble when It
touched his, hut when It was with
drawn, his hand closed over the plain
gold ring he had given her.
For tho next two weeks, Harvey did
not givo Bessie time to think. It seemed
to her there never was as many merry
makings in the neighborhood before at
that season, and attended by Harvey ,sho
went to all of them.
Bessie wondered at herself In thosn
days, when sho got time to wonder. All
tho maidens she had ever read of, who
had been Jilted as she hud been, hud, as
a natural consequence, tukeii a con
sumption, and died most interesting
deaths. But she saw no signs of it in
tier case. J lor appetite was as goou as
ever ; and she found herself really en
Joying the parties and picnics, and very
proud of her handsome escort.
" Harvey rides so much belter than
George ever did, and If lie Isn't quite so
polite, why, he has more heart."
So she would say to herself, and when
she caught herself making such com
parisons as these, she Jumped at the
conclusion that she never really had
loved George Howard, after all, which
was not so very far from the truth.
Cunning Harvey saw it all, but wisely
kept his thought to himself till his time
should come. Cunning grandma saw It
all too, and laughed under her big sun
bonnet at the way things were turning
round to suit her plans after all that
trouble about George Howard. But she
said nothing either, and Bessie drifted
on in delightful Ignorance that she was
bending her proud little head for the
silken noose of love again.
" Bessie," said Harvey, one evening,
as he took the brimming milk-pail from
her hand at tho bars, " what ever be
came of that pretty gold ring you used
to wear? Your hand looks bare with
out It."
" I I lost It," she stammered.
" That Is, I mean," bravely now, " I
gave it back to George Howard, Harvey.
1 couldn't wear a married man's ring."
Harvey said nothing more Just then,
but later, when he found her alone on
the porch, he took up the little bare
brown hand, and strange act for matter-of-fact
Harvey ! held it warmly to
bis Hps a moment.
" Too bad this little hand should go
uure, isessie," lie said, "1 wish you
would let it wear this;" and, in the
moonlight, she caught the flash of a
heavy gold band as it slipped upon her
finger.
With her heart fluttering like a fright
ened bird, she looked up into the honest,
earnest blue eyes, but spoke no word.
" I have had that ring, Bessie," he
went on, " ever since your birthday ; but
before I hud a chance to give it to you,
George had put his ring on your finger,
and I would not oiler it. I thought at
first I would throw it awa"y, but then
concluded I would wait. I loved you
then, Bessie, and I love you still. I
don't ask you to say anything now, lit
tle girl ; but think over it to-night, and,
if you have the ring on to-morrow, I
shall know you love me, and will some
day be my wife."
And he left ber alone in the moon
light, where for an hour she sat gazing
vacantly at the ring. Harvey loved her.
Harvey wanted her to be his wife. Har
vey had loved her so long. And with
this thought came a burst of happy
tears, and Bessie Boss knew her own
heart.
And in the morning, as Harvey came
to the kitchen door before breakfast, and
and watched those busy little hands
rolling out dough, and fashioning bis
cuit, he saw his ring gleaming there,and
careless of who might be looking, he
caught the little figure, kitchen apron
and all, close to his heart.
Grandma put her head out of the
jwntry just then, but drew it back so
quickly they never knew that the glad
old blue eyes saw that stolen kiss, brim
ful of happiness.
And thus was the heart of sweet
Bensie Boss caught In the rebound.

SUM K Indians cannot be civilized onl
some can, but a hulf-breed Is never
civilized. Take a half-breed " Injun1'
from his tribe, educate him and make
him intelligent, and he Invariably be
come the meanest and most vindictive
of Indians, An Instance corroborating
tills assertion was brought to notice not
long since at the Slate Line depot. A
well-educated Indian of the Ohio tribe,
Just from school in Carlisle, Pa., passed
through this city on his way to Join the
tribe of his mother In the Indian terri
tory. He was accompanied by Major
Charles Bushness, one of the agents of
the colonized Indluii tribes, from whom
the same Interesting facts relative to the
untauiable Indian were obtained.
The young man Is the legitimate son
of (.'apt. McDottgal, formerly of the
Fourth Dragoons. At the beginning of
the war McDougal went South from Ft.
Kearney, Nebraska, and left his Indian
wife and Ron, both of whom returned to
the Otoe reserve, In north-western Kan
sas. McDougal afterward returned to
the federal service and enlisted In tho
Eighteenth United Slates Infantry ,eom
manded by Colonel (Harrington, recently
at 'limp Chase, Ohio. He went with
the Eighteenth Infantry West at the
close of the war, and by some means
found ills Ohio wife had reclaimed his
son, then a boy of 13 years. 1 le sent him
Fust to his old home In Pennsylvania,
jind has done all In his power to make
his half-Indian son a w hile man. By tho
assistance of some of the friends of hi
early days, McDougal had his son ap
pointed to the West Point Academy
about three years ago, but he fulled t
pass the required examination. As a
last resort, and by woy of encourage
ment, he permitted him to visit IiIh
mother iu her tribal home in the Indian
Territory. He remained there a year,
and got into some horse stculinif trouble
In Southern Kunsus. His father's in
fluence In Washington saved tho young
Indian from serious punishment, and he
was sent to his father, at Carlisle Bar
racks, l'a., where he was again sent to
school. He Is now of age to decldo for
himself. His actions in the East have
discouraged and disgusted his father.
At his own request he has been sent
buck to his mother,and Jerome Baptisto
McDougal will assume his tribal title
among the Otoes. Young Jerome was
the centre of attraction lust night at the
State Line Depot. He is more than half
white in his appearance, and he has all
the manners and deportment of a young
white man. Iu a brief conversation
with him heassured the interrogator that
he felt happy to get back to his mother
and family friends. He said he was.
tired of white people wanted to go home.
He seemed to be well posted on current
topics of the day, and could drink whis
key like a whlt6 man and smoke like a
Mexican. He says he goes to his tribt
to do the best he can for them. He is an
Indian and proposes to don the breech
clout, shave off his mustache and be
come one of the Otoes. " Kansas City

1 Obelisks.
Only forty-two obelisks are known to
exist. At Karnah four are standing and
two prostrate. Nine more are prostrate
at Saan. One stands at Philae, twelve
are at Home the largest of them being'
at the church of St. Lateran. Florence
contains two, and Paris, Aries and Con
stantinople one each. In England there
are four two at the British Museum,one
at Alnwick Castle and the fourth at.
Kington Lacy Dorsetshire, brought over
by Mr. William liankes, a friend of
Lord Byron. The obelisk now on it
way to England was the companion) of
one still standing at Alexandria, to which '
place it wts transported front On.
Though named after Cleopatra, Its erec
tion at the Temple of Cieaar did not take
place until the reign of Augustus, and
several years after the death of the
Queen. Abdul Ianteel says that the ob
elisk stood in his time the twelfth cen- '
tury.
An Original Method of Marrying.
Of all original methods of getting
married, commend us to the " Kuglen
marriage," familiar to the people of
Glasgow, Scotland, until within the last
twenty years. When the parties ob
jected to the proclamation of banns, and
contracted an irregular marrlage,a friend
of both would be commissioned by them
to lay a criminal Information against
them with the Procurator-Fiscal, or pub
lic prosecutor. He straightway sum
moned the misdemeanants before the
Sheriff and charged them with the of
fense. They, of course pleaded guilty,
and the Sheriff would gravely fine them
five shillings. The I'rocura to r-Fisc&l
took the fine and in return gave the par
ties a receipt which stated why they
were fined, and this was valid as a legal
proof and certificate of their marriage.

with the girls.
