Mrs. Ludlow, having slaked' the imperative ' thirst of her curiosity at the well of her Juisband's information, spared him the ' task of recounting his adventures, at '. length; but she managed to make htm give a very fair' description of the bat tie at "The Laurels" from the 'point of view of the chief actor therein,- ruthless ly ignoring his "modest endeavors to dwell lightly upon liis own" -achievements. She listened with lively u'ppre-ciation,-making a comical little grimace of incredulpus scorn as he concluded. "And Tom thought shan't I pour you another cup of tea?" , .' "Thank you; what were you about to say?" ', ' - ' -;; . V -' "1 did say it, I asked if you would have another cup of tea,"' " "Jfo.butabout whatTom thought." "Oh! Tom thought, you'd sleep right ulong till to-morrow morning," she re- )lied, with unblushing effrontery. "And that reminds me: , Henry's been down ; to inquire after you, and I . told him you'c! pay your respects at 'The Laurels - this afternoon.'" "How did you know I would?" 'I knew you'd do any thing I promised .for you." ' ' "Well (since you've committed your self,) I suppose I'll have to go." "Oh, please don't!" she urged, teas " ' ingly. "It's a long, long walk, and it's so dreadfully hot; I'd go back to bed again, if I were you." "And impugn your reputation for truth and veracity? that would be very unthankful; you see you've made it impossible for me not to go." Then, . with diplomatic abruptness: "Haven't vu anything to ;tell me before I start?" "You asked me that question last , night, and I'll make you the same 'answer: you may give Hester my love." . "Thank you so much. Perhaps I shall ' go back to Sew York to-morrow." "Perhaps you will; and perhaps the world came to an end yesterday. I think one. is about as probable as the other." , "Oh! then you know of some good . reason, why I should stay." Yes, the best of reasons: you're not able to travel, yet." Ring-brand laughed and reached for his hat. "Just watch me climb that hill. J and then you mayrepemtat leisure, lie .said. ' - . An hour later he was comfortably established upon the veranda of . the colonel's home, lounging invalid-wise in the library easy -chair which Hester had insisted upon dragging out for him. They had been talking about the feud, . lus imprisonment in the cave, and till- ' the exciting events of the past few : days; and Ringbrand had been trying with a palpable effort at ingenuousness to bring the conversation around by easy and graduated approaches to the subject nearest his heart. On ine long walk up the - moun ' tain he had forecast the manner of these approaches with such strict fidelity to details that he now found it impossible to break away from the entanglement of set speeches and sup posed answers, and every fresh endeav or seemed to involve him more hope lessly. Even the perversity of inani mate objects added to his helplessness. How could one talk upon serious sub jects from the lazy rostrum of an easy chair whose high back took away the last vestige of one's dignity? and when he sat up the comfortable hollow . ol the low seat brought his knees and his chin together in an attitude that was pathetically inadequate to the require ments of the case. Once or twice he had tried to rise, but Hester had pro tested playfully, saying that he must consider himself an invalid, if only ior that afternoon. To add to his em 'barrassment, she left her own chair and began to saunter up and down the ver- ' anda in front of him, snipping dead leaves from the ivy on the railing as she talked. - He watched her furtively while the car of idle talk ran smoothly over end less stretches of track wherein there ; were no crossings or switches, until ; the subtle intoxication, of her beauty began to make his replies irrelevant. . At last she stopped just opposite his chair and leaned over the railing to re cover a wandering spray of ivy; while she stood there with her back toward him, he broke off in the middle of a sen tence and said abruptly: "Miss Hes- ler, I love you very much.' ' She recovered herself instantly, and he saw the suppressed laughter in her . eyes as she turned toward him. He ; was on his feet in a moment. "Miss Latimer, I beg your pardon indeed I lo it wasn't at all what I meant oh, ' horrors, what am I saying! I did mean it, only I didn't intend saying it just that way. ' Flease don tj a ugh at me; . it'll break my heart; I'm dreadfully in earnest, if 'I do talk like an imbecile. Hester, dear, do. you love me just a .little, and will you be my wife?" He was holding her hand now and looking down into her face with an appeal in his eyes that quite' atoned for the halting speech, and she hid her Wfyea Baby was sick, we gave her Castorla. men she was a Child, she cried for Castoria,' Uln ahe became Hiss, she clung to Caatoria.

'';. .-.- "Olad of what, Hester?'" he asked, drawing her closer to him. - ' ', ' , Her face was suffused with blushes when she raised it shyly to his, but the merriment still twinkled.'in her-eyes;. Glad of -what. HeiterP" he aaked. drawing bei closer to him. "Glad that you found it impossible to be quite correct; you don't know how- much it makes me " the last two words were whispered to the lapel of his coat, but he heard them and folded her in his arms. After the rapturous interval,' he asked : "And did you think I was very conventional?" "I used to; the people in your stories always seem to do just the right thing at the right time. Tell me, did you ever make one of your heroes say any thing like like you did a few minutes go?" ' '''' "Heaven forbid!" he answered fer vently; "but then one can always imag ine better things than he can do." There was another eloquent interval, end then she looked up sgain. "Was that what you meant to tell me the night you went away?" "Partly: but there was something that prevented me something, that, perhaps; should .have made roe keep silent to-day. You remember what vve were saying about personal courage; I thouehWthen that I was a born cow ard, and I'm not entirely sure of the contrary yet." She held him off at arm's length and looked at him with loving pride . kin dling in her beautiful eyes. "It is likeyou to talk that way, after what you did last night father has told me "all about it;' and, besides, I saw you try to.save that man's life at the risk of your own and after he had tried to kill you, too!" "That was nothing but common hu manity," he answered quietly. "You don't know how I had to cling f o that tree there to keep from running away just before the Bynums rode up. "I don't believe a single word of it," she asserted calmly, as he led her to a seat on the wide rustic settle at the end of the veranda; and then a sudden gleam of common sense came to him in the thought that perhaps it might be wise not to argue the point with her, then or ever. They were married in the little church in Tregarthen a week after the trial of Jed and Budd Bynum, and the Ludlows gave them a wedding break fast in the cozy little dining-room of the house on the hill before they start ed on their jpurney northward, liing- brand was in his room, hurriedly pack ing his valises, and Ludlow ran up to tell him that there was still plenty of time in which to catch the train. "When are you coming south again. Hugh?" he asked, pacing the Root of the small ,apartinent;with his hands in his pockets. - "Oh, I don't know; whenever Hester gets homesick, I suppose." ' "Well, I can't promise you a fight or a wedding the next time you come, but we 11 try to keep you interested m some way. By the way, Hugh, it was generous of you not to prefer a charge of murder against those fellows for trying to kill you in the cave." . "It was quite unnecessary; a thirty year sentence is severe enough to sat isfy a more vindictive person than I ever aspire to be. Besides, you for got that it was Jeff who did the shoot ing, and his fate was sufficiently hor rible." - - ' "It was, indeed; and that makes me think I saw the sister at the trial. I wonder what has become of.her?" "She has gone to her uncle in Texas." "Are you sure of that?" "Yes, for I sent her." "You?" . - A "Yes." ' . . "And she didn't try to kill you be fore she left?" "Oh, no; she was too sorrowful to think of vengeance. Besides, I think she did me the justice to believe that I acted fairly." Ludlow pursed his lips and whistled softly, continuing his restless march while Ringbrand fastened .the last strap. ' Suddenly he stopped in his walk and regarded the younger man with a look of quizzical curiositv. "Hugh, what's become of that little fad of yours about personal .courage and such things?" -' V I told' you once" that I hoped I had left it in the- hole on the mountain. . I think it is still there," was the quietre- ply, and they went down to the waiting bridal party. The accommodation . train swung slowly around the curve below Tregar then, and the intervening spur of the mountain shut out the last view of the fittle village and its smoking furnace. Ringbrand closed the window when the cinders began to blow in, and, looking aroundr the dingy interior of the car. thought of that other eventful journey taken, in .the same , vehicle. : He bent toward the small-pink ear at his shoul- der 'and whispered: "Do yon know wherel first began to love you, Hester?". "..."No," she answered, drawing lief veil down so that she could blush com fortably. .:' '-. -r - V - - "It was right Jierei you were sitting in this very seat, only it was turned the other way.

According to the action of;the ' Demo cratic state central committee yesterday a Portland there is only one Democratic party in Oregon, and that is the Na tional Democratic paity, which appoint ed delegates to the Indianapolis conven tion last week. The Oreeonian says: The Bryan Democracy has disappeared, abdicated, surrendered, been swallowed up by Populism. There will be no Bry an Democratic ticket in Oregon. There will be no Bryan and Sewall electors, only Populist Bryan and Watson elec tors. Apparently nobody in Oregon will have a chance to vote for. Sewall. . For vice-president, Bryan voters must sup port Watson or nobody. ThiB simplifies matters very much, and is a fine exam ple for other states. It is a candid ac ceptance of an obvious situation. It ought to be imitated everywhere. Wat son is the logical candidate with Bryan. who is a Populist, standing on a Populist platform. . No Democrat can vote for him, indeed, witihout declaring himself a Populist. Democrats will vote for the Indianapolis candidate." ; - ' Mitchell Solid for McKlnley? " Telegram. ' ' ' . ' ' ' Senator John H. Mitchell for a while will be the guest of his daughter, Mrs. Robert P. Heimboldj at 561 Irving street. Although he has spent ' considerable time traveling through - the Eastern states since the adjournment of congress and encountered many a hot wave, - he looks the picture of health, and as , he expresses it will be in-excellent trim for the fall campaign in which he hopes to take an ' active part. Notwithstanding his repnted silver proclivities, be is a McKinley man, and wears a McKinley and Hobart button. , It is his purpose to stnmp the state for the Republican nom inees and tell the people" in plain words J why it is for the best . interest of the couutry to elect McKinley. . The indica tions in the East, he says are decidedly .in favor xf the election of the Ohio states man, as the free-silver craze in many places has run its race. People are com ing back to their sober senses and study ing the situation - wiib more calmness and deliberation. : He. basis his hopes for ' the election of s McKinley on . the intelligence of the average American voter, and Bays when the votes are counted it will be seen that there are not so many fools as the Bryan following would have people to believe. f ' - Senator Mitchell will devote some lit tle time to the arrangement of his. busi ness affairs, ' but when the-campaign opens in Oregon, he will be" found in the front ranks for McKinley and the Re publican party. N . INSURGENT SOLDIERS AT HOME. Americans In Unban'a Service Revisit Their Native LaW. St. Louis, Aug. 27. T. Roseer Roeiner, one-time captain of . the old Bosch ZouaveB of this city, and Frank Hilligas, finally reached the coast and escaped in a small boat, in company with Goereno, correspondent of a New York morning paper, and, after many privations, liv ing on-cocoanuts "and bananas, we finally reached Nassau, where' we were quarantined for three days, and from Nassau went by steamer to New York. "The Cubans are sure-to win. The' Spanish army has retreated into Puerto Principe, and their commander has noti fied General Weyler that he will not again engage Gomez without a .reinforce ment of 5,000 men. Gomez has abso lute control of all Cuba outside the cities, and at the beginning of the dry season will march toward Havana at the same time that General Maceo crosses tbe.trocha, and joining forces, the two will either drive the Spanish into the sea or so badly cripple them that further prosecution of ..the war will be impos sible. . ; "The total strength of the rebel army at present is' 60,000; that of the Spanish army 100,000, to be reinforced by 40,000 more already embarked from. Spain The Cuban soldiers are scattered every where, but by a thorough system of communication they can be massed to gether in an incredibly short time. "I shall be glad? to return to Cuba, and I am likely to be ordered there by a junta at any moment. Delegate Palma in New York, is posted as to my move ments here, so that he will always know exactly where to reach me." It will be remembered that nearly year ago Roemer suddenly disappeared from this city and was Tnot heard of for some time, when he wote a letter to triend here in which he stated that he had joined the Cubans in their struggle for liberty.
