DENNIS, Teacher of Penmanship. ONN. ED. FREYLER, Secretary and Treasurer ' THE RIVALS. A beautiful evening in southwestern Texas. The short Southern twilight was settling down over the broad prairie; the horizon blazed with sunset light; the air was full of the scent of flowers; no sound was heard but the light wind’s rustling and the hum of numerous insects. _ Standing on the piazza of John Robert’s mansion were two persons, both young and well favored. The man was speaking in a pleading voice, the girl listening with a frown on her lovely face. _ “But why will you not be my wife?” said the young man, in impassioned tones. “Because I do not love you, Senor Mor- eno, and I am promised to another,” she returned, bravely meeting the glance of his passionate eyes. . “You care more for some one else than you do for me,” he said bitterly. “And who, may I ask, is that happy man?” “Arthur Forbes, my father’s overseer.” “\Vhatl that Yankee adventurer? And does the wealthy Mr. Roberts sanction the engagement of his daughter—his only child—to one of his hired servants?” “We have not told him yet; but—” "Ah! you have not told him! Well, when you do, I think he will order the Yankee off the ranch. Your father’s over- seer, indeed! Miss Lucia Roberts should mate with one of her own station.” “And so noble and chivalrous a gentle- man as Senor Thomas Moreno appears to think himself should attend more to his own affairs, and meddle less with things that do not concern him,” .hotly replied Lucia. “But this does concern me, for I intend that you shall be my wife.” “Then yOur intentions will fail!” , The impetuous senor, in his effort to secure the hand of the girl who had re- fused him, oifended her father, and the two quarreled, the quarrel ending in a. threat of revenge on the part of Senor Moreno. And this was not the only quar- rel of Mr. Roberts, he had another with his daughter when she told him of her love for Arthur Forbes. He passionately told her she should never again see Forbes, who was then on a distant part of the ranch, and the next day they started for Rio Grande city, where Lucia was to be left with her aunt. The following night the overseer, who had no intimation of his lady love’s re- moval, was on his way to Mr. Roberts’s house, where he discovered half a. dozen horses tethered in a small grove near the dwelling. The night was cloudy and quite dark, yet be detected the forms of three or four men standing in the path before him. Advancing with caution, and holding his pistol so that he could readily use it, Arthur crept forward, care- fully scanning every object, but with his attention centered upon the men. He had advanced but a few steps when he saw two of them lift from the ground what appeared to be the form of a human being wrapped in a. dark blanket. Springing forward he levelled his pistol, command- ing them to stop. The word had scarcely passed his lips when he received a blow from behind which rendered him sense- less. It was past midnight when Forbes re- gained consciousness. Making his way to Mr. Roberta’s house, he roused the ser- vants and told them what he had wit- nessed in the grove. Great was their ex- citement when it was found that neither Mr. Roberts nor his colored man servant, Jim, who had also accompanied Lucia to Rio Grande City that morning had re turned. “Mr. Roberts has been abducted by bandits, and if he is not rescued will be held for ransom,” said Arthur. “I must go to the camp and rouse the men at once.” ' ’ An hour later Arthur Forbes, accom- panied by twenty stalwart cowboys, was riding across the prairie on the trail of the abductors. Dragged from his horse, beaten, bound hand and foot, blindfolded and tied on a horse, Mr. Roberts was driven all night and nearly all the next day across the prairie, without food or drink. At the end of that time he was taken from the horse and the bandage removed from his eyes. Two of his captors conducted him to a rude log cabin where they left him. Exhausted by his terrible journey, Mr. Roberts was about to throw himself on the hard floor when the door was opened again and a man entered the hut. "Senor Moreno!” the rancnman cried, hope reviving in his heart. “You have followed—~you have come to save me!” “Not so fast, Mr. Roberts,” Moreno re< plied, a sinister look on his handsome face. “Why should I succor the man who so recently gave me a blow?” “Then may I ask your business here?” “I want your daughter.” “Villain!” he cried. “I would sooner see my daughter dead, and die a thousand deaths myself than give her to you, an outlaw—a bandit!” ~2- * -'l: 9’: . +5 * The sun was just disappearing below the western horizon as Arthur Forbes and his men entered the hilly, wooded country that borders the Rio Grande. A thick column of smoke rising from a pine thicket about three-quarters of a. mile ahead of them, showed where the outlaw’s camp was situated. After midnight, when the outlaws had sunk into a profound slumber, he ordered the attack. The cowboys advanced stealthily, and were almost within the camp before they were discovered by the sentinel, who gave the alarm. But it came too late. Arthur’s men rushed forward with cheers, and were among the robbers before they were fairly awake. The latter hurriedly seized their weapons and made what resistance they could; but it was ineffectual. The strug- gle was sharp and brief. Many of the out- laws were killed, and the rest fled preci- pitately. Among the latter was Moreno. Arthur, as soon as the battle was over, called a few of his men and went in search of Mr. Roberts. They soon found him, and he was at once released from his un- pleasant quarters. The cowboys determined to remain in the outlaws’ camp during the remainder of the night, and start for home the next morning. One of them told Mr. Roberts what had taken place at his ranche the previous night. He listened until the story was finished, then rose and went to where Arthur was standing with his back against the trunk of a tree, gazing into the fire. “Arthur," said he, grasping the young man’s hand, “I have learned all that you have done for me. You have proved your- self a brave fellow and a friend that one can rely upon. N ow what shall I give you as a reward?” The full answer to this involved a fine wedding, at which Lucia Roberts was given by her father into the keeping o .the young man who had rescued him. And a beautiful, happy bride she was.-- ' Waverly Magazine. Buy the Guerra. a? 1 Ave-“’5 CHERRY ,, were Peclnral *3 P...

HE WILL SUCCEED GENERAL SCHO- FIELD IN COMMAND OF THE ARMY. A Great Indian Fighter Who Tamed Sit- ting Bull, Chief Joseph and Geromino. His Persistence Conquered the War De- partment. J’Vhat a. Soldier Says of Him. In September, 1895, Gen. Schofield,af- ter forty years of service in the army of the United States, will reach the age of sixty— four years and will retire from act- ivo duty. His successor will be General Miles, the famous Indian fighter. General Nelson A. Miles, was born in Massachusetts in 1830, and after receiving an ordinary education, he took a position in a Boston store. Then the war broke out, he enlisted as lieutenant in the Twenty-second Massachusetts regiment, and he distinguished himself by bravery in many battles. . He was wounded at Fair Oaks and Malvern Hill, and again at Chancellorsville, the wound there be ing, it was feared, fatal. He speedily re« covered, however, and in the battles be- fore Richmond, he commanded a bri- gade. His record in the war of the Rebel- lion was so good that when it was over he was a Brevet Major-General, and in Oct- ober, 1865, he received the full commis- sion. His chief fame, however, rests up- on his skill and bravery as an Indian fighter. He has been the most successful commander ever sent against the hostile red men, and they have cometo so fear him that the announcement that General Miles was after them was enough to make the bravest band run or surren- der. In 1870 he weht after the Cheyennes and Arapahoes, and when he got through with them they had had enough fighting to last them a great many years. In fact, the memory of the thrashing he gave them is yet a wholesome and restraining influence. After the Custer massacre, General Miles was left by Gens. Crook and Terry to watch Sitting Bull, but, instead of watching him, he went after the bloody chief, and although the snow was two feet deep, he crushed the Wily savage. For this campaign in the snow the Sioux called him “Bear Coat.” His next achievement was the capture of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces, after a pursuit of about 4.000 miles. His most important and difficult task was the con- quering of Geromino, and his band of .r GEN. NELSON. A. MILES. Apaches. Hidden in the Bad Lands, they defied the troops, but General Miles went after them, and he didn’t give up until they were captured and subdued. Acrose rocky barrens, under a burning sun, Gen. Miles led his tr00ps, the men clad only in light underclothes, until the long chase ended in success. In his Indian cam- paigns he seemed to know no such word as fail, and the Indians came to expect defeat whenever General Miles was on their track. Another incident will serve to show his persist-ency in a matter outside of fight- ing. The Cheyennes had murdered a set- tler. and carried off two little girls. Gen. Mfies rescued the girls and then wrote to the \Var Department asking that enough money be appopriated from the annui- ties of the Cheyennes to educate them. No action was taken on his request, and he wrote again with similar result. He kept writing, and said he should not quit until he got the money, and he didn’t. And the girls were educated. A soldier said when the General was sent East, “The boys out West will be sorry. We knew when old ‘Bear Coat’ was leading something had to give way. Just say his name to a red devil, and he’ll be as good as a Sunday-school meeting in a minute. He never asked us to go any- where he wouldn’t go himself, and we’d follow him through hell. We did pretty near, I’m thinking, when we were after old Geronimo.” The stories told of his Indian campaigns are legion, and they show that in courage, in sound common/sense, and in the qual- ity which inspires confidence in the men he leads, General Miles has had few equals among the nation’s military leaders. Lord Clivebrooke on Marriage. The hero of “The Bauble Shop” has a breezy conversation on marriage with Lady Fennel], who remarks: “N ow, you wretch, how is it you aren’t married?” , “I can’t find the right woman for a wife.” - “What sort of a wife do you want?” “I don’t know the sort of wife I want, but I know the sort of Wife I don’t want.” "Well, what sort don’t you want?” “The sort of wife all my friends have married.” “You don’t like your friends’ wives?” “Oh, yes, they’ll do very well—for my friends, and I don’t mind them for an hour or two at dinner—if the dinner’s a. good one.” ~ “How is it that people marry those whom they’d never think of asking to dinner?” “A dinner engagement is a serious thing.” “More serious than marriage ?” “Most people would think twice be- fore breaking a dinner engagement. Sure there is as much of banter and es- pieglerie in all this as there is of cynicism. Clivebrooke says these things because they amuse him and others, not because he believes in them.
