which had occurred to him while i lean
ing tho fire-amia that oriiamenl.es his
study, l'auliny Curul watched over her
-..with the tenderness of an dder nister ;
but the stricken girl abandoned herself
to a grief which tseerned almost incon
solable. Late In the afternoon, l'aul Crlvelll
t.V4 hrM.-h 'mjl .nil ru-Qi.podttii
to the hotel at which Armand Ireiiilay
was staying.
He was the bearer of a letter from
Pauline Corsl ; and he informed tho art
ist of the terrible event which had hap
pened ftlnce that morning.
"It will be, therefore, some months
before I can hope that my cousin Ca
laillla will assume the right to a etlll
.rarer namo," eaid Paul, after they had
bulked for some time of the awful event.
"I Imagine so," answered Armand ;
"and Pauline tells me that I must be
patient, as she will not consent to our
marriage taking place on any day but
that appointed for yours."
The two young men left tho hotel and
walked through the more retired streets,
until they left the city behind them, and
merged upon the banks of the river.
Armand Tremlay and Paul Crivelll
Were eminently suited to each other.
So much, too. had the terrible event of
the day broken down the barriers of cere
mony and restraint, that they seemed
already like old friends.
They walked on, talking of the singu
lar occurrences which had checkered
their two lives, until the sun was sinking
Into the bosom of the Mississippi, and
until they found themselves at a con
siderable distance from the city.
In order to regain New Orleans by a
shorter route, they struck into a wood
that bordered the river.
The sun was fading behind the trunks
of the trees, and the wood was lonely as
Borne primeval forest.
They had walked for some little dis
tance, when they came suddenly upon
ue figure of a negro, reclining at the
loot of an immense American oak.
He started to his feet as they ap
proached, and Paul recognized the man
ith whom he had that morning strug-
led, Tristan, the slave belonging to the
kte Don Juan.
The negro glared at him with a savage
expression in his distended eyeballs.
"It is you," he cried, "you you I You
taunt me wherever 1 go. I nad come
sere to die."
"To die?"
"Yes. I have poison here." he said,
clutching at some object In the breast of
bis shirt. "I overheard all this morn
ing, and I should have been your ruin,
had you not overpowered me. I would
have burnt the evidsnoe of your birth.
I would have prevented your union with
CamUlla Uoraqultos with her I lover'
' Jou are mad, Tristan."
"let, I am mad. What oan that slave
be tut mad who dares to love his mis
press? I would grovel upon the earth,
suffer her foot to trample on my
nsok. I would die a thousand deaths,
but I am mad. and I love her. I have
loved her from those happy hours when
she was a little child by yonder sunny
river, and I was her plaything, her dog,
her slave, but still her companion ; and
bow she .loathes and despises the
wretched slave, she loves another, and
mad Tristan has come into this forest to
die."
The glaring eyes of the negro had so
much of the fire of insanity is their sav
age light, that the two young men
thought he was indeed mad.
"Tristan, Tristan!" said Paul, im
ploringly. "Beware," cried the slave, snatching a
knife from his breast. "Beware how
oa croM my pva ion aae nmnnvtx,
and, strong as you are, feeble against
the strength of madness. Avoid me, if
you value your own safety; jou, Paul
Crivelll, above all others, should shun
me, . for I hate you. Avoid me then, if
you would not tempt me to destroy
you."
He uttered a wild cry, and sprang to
ward Paul, with the knife uplifted in his
powerful right hand, but the two young
men were prepared for the blow, and
while Armand Tremlay seized the hand
holding the dagger, Paul twisted a silk
handkerchief into a bandage, with which
they bound the arms of the negro.
Seoured thus, they conveyed him back
to New Orleans.
The violent paroxysm of madness had
passed, and the wretched man was as
quiet as a child.
They took him to the Villa Moraquitos,
where they placed him under the care of
his mother, assisted by a powerful negro,
belonging to the household.
"Restore him to reason, Zarah," said
Paul, "and as soon as he has recovered,
1 will fre you both your liberty."
"Good, generous mansa, and we shall
go back to Africa?"
x You shall."

They found Augustus, Adelaide, and
Mrs. MontTP?or 6Pated in a brilliantly
lighted apartment, communicating with
the morning rooia that opened upon the
garden.
Mortimer Percy was seated at a little
distance from Ins cousin, and it was evi

"JJy liuavt n I will not. Wo .Southern
ers are in no humor jm-ttnow to put up
with uny of your abolitionist trick, and
Mr. Margrave shall pay dearly for break
ing the laws of Louisiana."
Augustus walked up and down tho
room an he spoke, and every accent re
vealed his rage, at the defeat and humili
ation he had sustained since the preced
ing night.
'Mr. Horton," eaid Gerald Leslie,
gravely, "Philip Treverton and I had a
very serious purpose in coming to you
here this evening. We come to make an
appeal to your generosity, and your
sense of manly honor. Will you listen
patiently to that appeal?"
"You are free to speak," replied Au
gustus, haughtily, and throwing away
his cigar, he folded his arms, and placed
himself against a pillar that bordered
the window, as if prepared to listen, but
AS if determined not to be convinced.
"I appeal to you, then, in the presence

Cora is to suffer for one hour for the in
famy of that man, Silas Craig? Kestore
her to freedom, before I institute pro
ceedings to Invalidate the illegal sale of
my property, which was seized upon for
a debt I never owed."
Augustus Horton lauKhed bitterly.
"All thi3 is very line," he said; "but
as Miss Cora Leslie has chosen to run
away from her rightful owner it Is not in
my power to Rive her up oven if I
wished it 1"
"Would you restore her to me If she
were found?" asked Gerald Leslie.
"No."
"You would not? Kemember, we are
rich, and I would give you back your
fifty thousand dollars, or double the sum
if you pleased."
"Curse your paltry dollars 1" cried Au
gustus. "It was revenge I wanted to
buy with my money ; revenge for the in
sult your slave-daughter dared to inflict
upon me. And am I to be balked of that
revenge to the very last? No, I repeat,
that were Cora recaptured to-night I
would not glvo her up."
"You would not?"
"I would not; and what is more, I
could not, for she is no longer mine."
"No longer yours t"
"No; I have given her away."
"Given her away !"
"Yes, to my sister Adelaide, yonder,
who has good reason to hate her, and
who will make her feel what it is to be a
slave. Trust a woman for that ! With
me she would have lived the life of a
duchess; as my sister's property, she
will be a lady's maid a drudge. Heaven
knows how low she may sink. It may
please her mistress to send your brilliant
and accomplished daughter to the kitchen
to wait upon the cook."
Gerald Leslie writhed at this Insulting
speech.
"Miss Horton." he exclaimed, "surely,
surely, your woman's nature revolts at
suoh words as these. Why do you not
speak? You were once my daughter's
friend ; for pity's sake remember that I"
During the whole of this dialogue Ade
laide Horton had sat perfeotly still, her
head bent over her work, as if she heard
nothing of what was going forward ; but
a close observer might have perceived
that her bosom heaved with suppressed
emotion and that her small hand trem
bled as she endeavored to continue her
work.
This had not been lost on Mortimer
Peroy, who had been for some time in
tently watching his cousin.
Suddenly she raised her head in order
to reply to Gerald Leslie.
"I can only answer you in the words
of my brother, Mr. Leslie," she said; "I
cannot restore Cora Leslie to you even
if I would, for she is no longer mine. I,
too, have given her away."
Augustus started at these words.
"You, Adelaide!" he exclaimed.
"Yes ! You gave her to me for a lady's
maid. I had been long seeking for an op
portunity of repairing the Injury which I
did her upon that fatal day when I al
lowed a school girl's folly to get the bet
ter of my reason. I have given her to
her husband, Gilbert Margrave !
She rose as she said this and opened the
door of an adjoining apartment and
beokoned to some one within.
Gilbert Margrave and Cora Leslie en
tered the room.
"My brother did not think of searching
his own house for the runaway slave,
said Adelaide, smiling. "The abduction
of last night was planned by Mr. Mar
grave and myself, and It was agreed that
ne sbouid bring ner nere as the last
place in whioh her pursuers would be
likely to seek her.
Mortimer Percy started from his chair.
and, crossing the room, clasped his
cousin in his arms.
Did you indeed do this, Adelaide?"
he exclaimed; "did you indeed? And i
- . ".
will you forgive me for my conduct?
Heaven knows what pain It has iriven
me. for I have always loved you dearly."
1 deserved all l have suffered, .Mor
timer," replied Adelaide, disengaging
herself gently from her cousin s enthusi
astic embrace ; "but I have done all in
power to repair the error of a moment.
Cora is free; free to sail for tngland with
her betrothed husband."
"Dear, generous girl." murmured the
Octoroon, taking Adelaide's hacd In hers
"far away. In that free ana happy cutan
try, I shall remember your noble con
duct." "And you shall see us in England
before lung, my dear Miss Leslie," eaid
Mortimer, "if my cousin will allow her
most penitent swain to conduct her on a
bridal tour through Europe. Jlr. Leslie,
you, I suppose, will accompany your

Tho ceremonial took place thus hur
riedly in order that Cora the Octoroon,
the once despised slaves might ofiiciate
as bridesmaid at her old schoolfellow's
wedding.
The bride was given away by her
brother Augustus, and Gilbert Margrave
acted as "beet man" to the bride
groom.
On the day following, Gilbert. Cora.
and Loslle were to bid udleu to New Or
leans.
The marriage ceremony was performed
with great splendor, and a sumptuous
Banquet was given by Augustus Horton
to the most distinguished inhabitants of
new Orloan.
It had been intended that Cora Leslie
should appear at this banquet; and
there was considerable curiosity felt
upon the subject by the guests who knew
the leading particulars of her story, and
who were anxious to see the heroine of
such romantio adventures.
They were disappointed, however, for.
ust as the bride was taking her place at
tne tame, tae Quadroon slave, Myra,
slipped a note into her hand.
It was from Cora, and ran thus

beyed you in withdrawing from your brilliant a
aembly. All your visitors are not as generous aa
rourself; and there may be many amongst yout
guests whose prejudices would be outraged by tht
presence of a daughter of the despised race. I
have a sacred duty to perform before leaving
Louisiana; and I go with Gilbert to fulfill it dur
tog the hours of your festivity.
"Ever and ever your affectionate
"Comx."
The reader may, perhaps, guess the
duty which called Cora Leslie from that
festive party.
Deep in the bosom of that wood at
Iberville, In which Gilbert Margrave and
Augustus Horton had met some months
before, Cora knelt with her lover beside
the wooden cross, which alone marked
the spot where the martyred Francilla
lay.
But the star of hope shone above the
tomb and a prophetic whisper in the
hearts of both, told of a day when Che
terrible institution which enables man
to traffic in the body and soul of his fel
low men, should be only a dark memory
of the past.
Early next day a happy group stood
upon the deck of a large steamer, which
was speeding away from New Orleans.
Already the queen city of the Missis
sippi was fading in the horizon, the white
walls of villas, and the steeples of
ohurohes melting to the dlstanoe.
Cora Leslie stood with her arm linked
In that of her father, and with her be
trothed husband by her side.
A. little way behind them, laden with
shawls, parasols and books, and proud
to be of service to his young mistress,
stood Toby, the mulatto; no longer a
slave, but a happy attendant on those he
loved.
A few weeks after this another vessel
steamed out of the New Orleans harbor,
bearing some who have been familiar to
us ; but this steamer was bound for the
sunny shores of France.
Paul Crlvelll and his cousin Camillls,
decided on leaving New Orleans until the
Spanish girl had reoovered from the
shook of her father's death. They had
consented therefore to aooompany Ar
mand Tremlay and Pauline, who, after
considerable persuasion, had been in
duced to become the wife of her old lover
without further delay.
Silas Craig left New Orleans In the
dead of the night. None knew whither
he went, and few oared to discover. He
had so contrived as to convey away the
whole of his wealth, and if the posses
sion of gold, each coin of which is
branded with meanness and dishonor.

a happy man. But let him not hug him

the bloodhounds of the law are on his
track. His departure revealed the secrets
of his past life. The gambling house in
Columbia street, and all the nefarious
practloes whioh had been pormitted in
that baunt or vice, were brought to the
light of day. A warrant was issued for
the lawyer's apprehension, and his pur
suers do not yet despair of dragging him
to justice.
Heaven help him, should he ever be so
rash as to return to New Orleans ! Once
in tne nanos or nis mruriated lellow-
citizens, Silas Craig would hare to en

"Money Goes."
The old saying that '-money goo
was illustrated recently. A customer
ti-Ticlerod a 20 bill. The tradesman had
it chiinged by a neighbor, who, being
in ii hurry, gave a pocket piece of $10 ir
t;oM of the issue of 18G1, which he prizeti
highly and did not want to part with
He went to the tradesman as soon as he
had given the valued coin, and the lat
ter went out and hunted up the custo
mer to whom he had given it. He h.-wl
bought some cigars at a neighboring
store and had given the gold piece in
payment.
Upon going to the cigar store it was
found that the proprietor had trans
ferred the coin to a saloon keeper near
by. and at that place it was found that
the saloon keeper had used it in liquidiv
ting his brewery bill. The next day a
neighbor went to the brewery and found
that the cashier of that institution had
just parted with the coveted piece of
uioney to a dissatisfied employe. The
individual was at last located and the
coin recovered. Chicago Times.
American Razors in Dtmand.
The best razors no longer come frors
Siiefiield, and even Englishmen are nlive
to the fact. The best customers for ra-
.". .r.i are of English and Scotch descent,
as very few Germans or Irishmen act as
their own barbers. Formerly nothing
vrirhout a genuine or fraudulent Shef
field trade mark cut into the blade would
be looked at by an ex-subject of tueen
Victoria, but now American goods are
generally preferred, and some eastern
makes are very popular. Tho greatest
mn the last two years has been on a
razor with a distinctly military name,
and although I have sold a great many
of the kind I don't know where they are
made. But the fact is immaterial, for
no purchaser ever finds fault with any
thing connected with one in any respect
save price, and even that is not serious

A Brief WeldinK.
A certain Georgia editor, who is also
real estate agent, a building and loan
assK-iation director, an attorney at law.
lerk of the town council and pastor of
the village church, was recently asked
to marry a couple. He was in a great
.urry, and the couple surprised him in
the middle of a heavy editorial ou the

out looking up from his work. "Do- vol.
want her?" The man said - yes. "And
do you want him?" The girl ntammere l
an affirmative. "Man find wife," cried
