I's only an -x-use for reveling and mak- ing a show of themselves.” Mr. Delaporte did not see, or pre- tended not to see, the crimson blush that mantled the fair cheeks of his daughter Ella when he made this re- mark. “Why, father,” she said, “you know Jack Dyson earns his own liv- ing’ — “Yes, clerking at ten dollars a week,"’ interrupted the father. “Well, it’s an honest living, if hie pay is only ten dollars a week. And J’ve often heard you boast that you be- gan on two Collars a week and your board; atrd now see all that yeu ows,” rejoined Ella. ‘And a gratified look overspresd Mr. D-laporte’s ruddy. well-preserved countenance as his daughter's words cailed up in mental review the memo- ries of his early struggles and of hie financial riumphs. Mr. Delaporte was a widower, with one child—Ella; and on her his affvo- tion was concentrated. Ella's mother died so:n afer the birth of her babe, and a housekeeper, well alvanced in years, attended to the far from exact- ing domestic requirements. The gleam of satisfaction on Mr. De- Japorte’s brow was, however, soon suc- ceeded by a frown, as the evolution of thought brought before his mind's eye the stalwart, manly figure of young Jack Dyson, bending with a lover's devotion over the upturned face and yielding form of Ela The penniless cierk had actually dared to mike love to his daughter, and he had ordered Jack cut of the house, with a 3'ern in- j ction never to set fot there again.

At the top of the staircase a sheet of fame swept across the narrow pas- «ave, as if to bar the brave firenian’s way. With the handkerchief close pressed over mouth, nostrils and eyes, he dashed through the fire and felt with the disengage! hand for the knob of the door.

Dec. 14.—In No- Man’s-Land, or the neutral strip, there are 10,000 people, but they have no state or territorial govern- ment, and it is hard to tell what courts have jourisdiction. A promi- nent cattlaman of Hansford county and two citizens of Sherman county have lost a number of cattle which were driven into No-Man’s-Land by thieves, and they propose to seo what Governor Ross can do to pro- tect Texas property, although he has no control over No-Man’s-Land. The cattle stolen from Texans are killed for their hides, it being only a rare thing that choice cuts of meat are taken. The thieves are defiant, frno law can reach them. The cupitol syndicate of Chicago will be n tified of the depredations commit- ed and asked to aid in, bringing congress to do something at once. The committee here say that if nothirg else can be done the ud should be added to the state of Kan- gas or Colorado, or formed iuto a territory at once.
