She couldn’t have taken ofi'ence at that. No, by Jove ! she’s in love with that simpering old idiot, Canmann. She’s ashamed to see me, by Jove 3” By this time, however, his astonish- ment and chargin had been partially displaced by anger, and he felt that Miss Forman had been very inconsider- ate and rude to him. He would write to her for an explanation, but he w0uld be verv‘cooi and dignified about it. ‘Vuwâ€"-â€"' . .â€" The story of young Mr. Wellman’s sudden trouble was this : He was very, very much in love with Jeanie Formm, the heaz‘miiul and amiable daughter of one of she must prominent business men in the gre; *2 city, and he had every reason to suppose that she loved him. That aizernooza he had sent her a Wkt-dozax, in which he had asked per- mission to call in the-evening, but no reply had been returned whatever. Evening came, and he called anyhow, thinking that either his note or her reply had no: been delivered, or there I] L- was some tn instantiy ex? What could have happened!

He felt his whole frame trembling. “This is-ahâ€"unexpected,” be stam- mered. “ I did not. know you were in Boston.” “ Nor I you,” she replied. Her tones were low. He didn't, however. His hostess just then captured him, and before he’ conld utter a. Wurd cf remonstrance, had him acknowledging an introduction to Miss Decker, or Miss Weberâ€"her name, he just remembered was some kind of piano. Wellmanv had just told his hostess good-night, and Was hurrying toward the door, when he came face to face with the one of all others he wished to avoid. Strange futility! Almost the first woman he saw as he entered the re- ception-room of his old friend was Jeanie Forman! And who was that bending over her with such devoted mien? Count Marat! Every move- ment and every look of his eyes told that he was madly in love with her! The hour grew late, and the guests weig lgaving. Love’s jealous eyes are keen, and VVellman was quick to discover the count’s secret. He looked at J eanie’s face. She was seemingly absorbed in a painting in a distant corner of the room, and displayed little interest in the count and what he was sayina. She had not seen himâ€"Wellman. He did not trust himself to look at Miss Forman again. If she saw him he knew it not. The post brought him an invitation from an old Boston friend to attend a receptlon at her house, and that night be rushed off to the Hub, glad of a. chance to escape the possibility of meeting lzer. He felt that he could not look on her face now without com- pletely breaking down. m The latter felt faint and d‘zzy, and went into the library. Passing a. mirror he caught a glimpse of his face. He was pale as death. He would quit the house at once. “ I loved her so foadly, and now she has broken my heart! My own J came mshe who one week ago put her arms abOut my neck and kissed me, my own Jeanieushe did not love me; she has ruined my life! She has played the hypocrite and flirt. True, I had not yet formally asked her to become my wife; but she understoodâ€" we both understood, I thoughtâ€"41nd as I in- timated in that Fredch note, I meant. to ask her that night to set the day for our marriage. My God, Jeanie! why did you treat me so? Oh, why were you false l” Sure enough one morning he read a paragraph announcing the immediate union of the major and Miss Forman. There were but two or three lines, making the bare statement without any embellishment or comment. \Vellman paced his room in agony. “My life is ruined,” he muttered over and over again under his breath. of the Frenchman mth the note, and when the latter did not reply to his forced pleasantry, he mentally called him a gentleman for not asking ques- uons, and began his note of inquiry. Hi 8 lines were few and not altogether 10v er- -1ike; his love could not wholly conquer his proud and independent spirit ‘ I\ would permit, “your notes have a very bad efiest, indeed.” He was attempt- ing to be jocose “ Evidently, the lady don’t like your French. You’re sure it’s good 1’” Wellman’s bz'llet-doux had .been written in French. The eount bad obligingly penned it for him at his dictation. Of course he had looked to the address himself, and had called no names to the Frenchman, nor intim ated Whom the letter was to. \Vellman had used French as a. precautionary measure against a. pos~ sible compromise of Miss Forman, and also for the humor of the thing. The note was the tenderest he was ever guilty of, and there was another Miss Jeanie Forman, his love’s aunt, who had on a. former occasion been handed one of his missives by mistake. Neither he nor the elder Miss Forman was a French scholar, but the young lady was, and so it had struck him that it would be quite original, safe and proper to make an instrument of the counp in the affair. He did not for a moment :ittribute the disastrous result to any connectigz} The note was never answered. On the following day he received from Miss Forman the half dozen presents he had given her, without I. word ac- companying them, and he concluded bitterly that all was up between them. Misery now claimed him for its own, and for a few days he was as discon- solate as a. widow, and avoided one and all of his friends. He saw by a. newspaper that Major Canmann and Miss Forman had occupied a prominent box at the opera, and he expected every day to hear of their engagement. “ Your marriage ~â€"ah-â€"-on the eight. THE WATCHMAN, LINDSAY, THURSDAY MAY 8, [890. PIERRE, S.

There is scarcely a t'ovvn in the A'tate where prohibition will not be enâ€". forced, and the saloon men have accepted the situation. At Chamberlain the strict enforcement of the law is desired by pro- hibitionists and anti-prohibitionists. the latter hoping thus to secure a speedier repeal of the law. Milbank saloonists sent their fixtures into Minnesota. Mitchell saw a farewell feast in all the saloons before the hour for closing. The fact that druggists can secure no licenses before June 1. leaves the State almost absolutely “ dry.” In this city the chief saloon-keeper draped his establishmenfi “My love, the treacherous French Scoundrel who followed you to Boston, to ask you to marry lnm, has been un- masked as last. Long ago he was kicked out of the club, and now the paper statesâ€"what will surprise no one â€"â€"that he is a base impostor, and not only that, but a. fortune-hunter and a. criminal.” And this is the story of a. note in French. Soon after their marriage, which all said was the very happiest union of the year, Clarence one evening put aside the paper with the remark: “It is Aunt Jeanie who is to marry Major Canmann on the eighteenth,” she said, in tones low but wondrous sweet. “I am in Boston because I thought you were in New York.” “Jeanieâ€"my own Jennie !” He gave a. subdued cry of joy and clasped her in his arms, while his very soul seemed to burn mth his reawaken- ed love for her. Oh, the sweetness of reconciliation! Oh, the joy of righting wrong I After, that dear, fateful night in Boston the p ths of the reunited ecliple were nex er crossed by the hated count but once, and then they had the Satis- faction, being in company, of giving him the cut direct. His arm stole about her unrebulx ed. Suddenly he drew back from her. “ Vbe are you in Bostonâ€"Canmann â€"â€"â€"your marriageâ€"” She raised her eyes to his for an in- stant, and he received a bokthat sent his hot blood dashing wildly through his veins. eenth. Isn’t; itâ€"ahâ€"a. trifle sudden 2” Her her heart was beating for her to reply for a. moment she said : “I was fiercely indignant. I thought you played with me.” “ But you are mistaken,” coldly. “ I could not. accept your recommendation, Mr. Wellman.” ‘ “ Could notâ€"do what ?” “I refused him this night. Your suggestion was very, z'erv kind; but really, Iâ€"â€"â€"" “I will not repeat it; it was insult- ing, coming from you. It said that you did not love me, and the count did. It closed by saying, ‘Please return Whatever of mine you have.’ " “Curse him !” exclaimed Wellman. “0h, Jeanie! what did. you think? Vihy didn’t you answer my second note? Why did you mine»: to see me?" The dark lashés of her lustrous eyes swept her snowy cheek, and her grace- ful head fell upon herbreast. “Jeanieâ€"Jeanie,” he exclaimed, “the scoundrel imposed upon me! I see it all now. Yes, yes; it is his duplicity that is the cause of my days of misery. I thought to write you a sweet little note in French, Jeanie, and I dictated to him at the clubâ€"of course not calling your name. But he must have suspected whom I was addressing, and being in love with you himself, he wrote nothing of what I told him, but compromised me instead. \Vhat was it he said, Jeanie?” “ I refused Count Marat,” she said. “ In that remarkable note of 'youxs you suggested that he was the man for me to many, but I beg to differ from you.” “ I did no such thing ! What note 3” “ That note in French. But for your signature I should have thought the count was responsible for it. It was unhkeyou.” All at once the truth flashed upon Wellman. He stood as if paralyzed an instant, and then caught up her hand in both his own. “Before Heaven I do not, Jeanie !" he cried. Then she believed him. She was mystified, but believed him. “Jennie 3” exclaimed the young man, interrupting her, “ will you come with meâ€"here into the conservatoryâ€"â€" where we shall not be , overheard? Please, Jeanie, I want to talk to you a moment once more.” She grew pale as he pronounce dthe 01d pet name, Jeanie, and took his arm. In a. moment they were alone and unseen.

He was a slender, cadaverous- looking man, with apparently no physical strength, yet he lived through what would have killed a dozen ordinary men, and is alive .to-day. 1n the early part of the war he was shot through and through. The ball struck the breast bone and shattered it, passed through his body and came out within an inch of his spine between two ribs. After a desprate struggle for life he recovered and joined his regiment. At the battle of Monaccasie Creek he was again wounded, the ball entering between the corresponding ribs on the other side of his spine and issuing from the same hole that the first ball entered at. The second shot must have taken the passage inside Muncie’s body that the first ball made in going the oppcsite direction.
