CURIOUS COVItInES.
As I spoke I noticed that the girl had
!ceased to pass her long and abtuniant
hair through her hands, first over one
shoulder and then over the -other. Her
lip slightly opened, she looked- at me
with her eyes suddenly filled. with sor-
rowful wonder, her pale olfeek becanae
pallid.
You do not know my Mother, site"
she said slowly and after a short si-
lence. The best thing any ehild of
hers can do, a daughter especially, is
to get out of her house at soon as possi-
ble."
There was something wholly beyond
questioning, as much in the sad. and
hopeless manner of the girl as in her
words,r and she sat dowe, dripping and
soiled as she was, on theedge of a chair,
and began to cry. ' As I pondered the
matter, she raised her head. and said,
with a kind of childish dignity in her
bearing:
Tbe best thing you can do, sir, is to
marry, us. Ile has got the license; I
had it got for him. If you don't we
will run away the first chance we get.
If I don't go with hitt' it will be with
somebody else. It mey he something
worse 41. good deal than getting married.
Yes. sir, I think you had better marry
;" and she sat like at ohild. with her
hands elasped together in her lep,
smiting my decision.
r was a veryyoung men—for a pastor
at least—at that time, and I saw noth-
-ing else tb do myself.
"Miss Sylvia," I said with the deep-
est solemnity I could assume, “it is
very serious thing to. get married. Da
you really hive this young man ? Will
• you try and be a good and faithful wife
to him ? 'What I mean is this : Do you
—now don't he in too great a hurry to i•
answer—do you really and sincerely toad
truly love
She listened to me very seriously. A
smile came, and then went. She
wept a little, ancl then laughed, and
then looked et me through her tectrs.
"Yes, sir, I love him," she said sim-
ply..
And so I called in the waiting mother.
The bridegroom was ushered in. From
the rear premises orowded in. the negro
servants and stood in. the doorway
while, I marriedi this curious conple. If
ever a minister ureed upon bride and
groom their dutiest'fally and faithfully,
I did. When I had ended wi-h the t
nsual benediction over their 'bowed
head, I suddenly kiss_ed her as I wish-
ed_ her happiness, but I had no thought
of doing so the instant before. She was.
molt a child, and her ohence of future
happiness was so pitiful! I never saw
them again. The young husband took
his wife far awity—I never knew where.
If the blood of her mother was net too
strong in her veins, she may have mole
him an. excellent wife.
The worst thing, to me, in regard, to t
Colonel, and Mrs. Caulfield and their
singnlar household, is the dead failure

of it in the end, I do not know it could
have been helped. The growing of the
grass, the frisking of the calves, the
wild careering of the colts with flying
manes and tails in the exhiletating sun -
and wind, was not more an inevitable
process of Native. Having to care for
his stock, very &tee obliged to separate
his and hers when their " brands " got
mixed up on the open prairies, it was
impossible that Tom and Kate 'should
not often meet, and m-eetirig it was im-
possible they should not :have loved.
The brilliant atmoaphere made it whol-
ly impossible that their spirits should
not have foamed and sparkled in it like
ehanapagne ; being so happy together,
•very often loping side by side.in search
of strayed_cattle too, it was utterly im-
possible, I insist, that what followed
should not have followed. Kate herself
told me all. about it.
"How could Tom help our men
marrying am.ong his women ?" she seid
o m.e. "Mother got mad, beca,use she
hated to have our hands going off to
their wives' houses on his place; but
weeder if their men were not coming to
their wives' houses on our place?
Mother tcdd Tom he must stop it, but
how ceuld he? She has got so used to
telling the people on our plantation
what they must and must not do, and
being minded, that she thinks the stars
must do as she says."
And that was the way Kate happened
