Ross Beverly's Pledge.

•very quiet and open their ears very wide —be beard another name, which proeverybody so situated does not keep dueed a sort of petrifying influence in nailing him at once to the spot where he stood "Docs Ross Beverley go with the property?" one of them asked, with a laugh. "How lucky that she should have had both strings to her bow, isn't it? And how much we underrated her cleverness when we thought that she was merely flirting for amusement with Gerald Tremaine at the Springs last summer!" "I still think it would have been only amusement if he had not come into this property—quecrly enough, too," the other said. "Do you know there is a report that she engaged herself to him last summer on this condition? For my part, I must say that I call it shameful, if true. To make such a tool of any man as she has made of Douglas Tremaine is enough to disgrace her." "It would be shameful, indeed," the other assented. "But let us give her the benefit of a doubt. Everybody knows that she is mercenary—everybody knows that she meant to marry Douglas Tremaine purely for his wealth and no doubt it is likely enough that she will throw him overboard now for the cousin whom the always preferred—but it would be too treacherous to plan deliberately snch a double robbery as this." "Nevertheless I am sure it was done," said the first speaker, obstinately. "Only remember how openly they flirted last summer. Engaged lovers could scarcely have been more inseparable. Then Frank Church, Gerald Tremaine's lawyer, told me that he (Tremaine) had kept the deed in his possession for years, and that he never would have claimed his rights but for Ross Beverley. Bnt she told him distinctly that she would never marry a poor man, so he turned to this his only hope of fortune."

Woll, it is a very treachorous kind of a thing altogether," the other lady said, with a slight shudder. "Mrs. Beverley may certainly congratulate herself oil a daughter after hor own heart but, as we both agreed Inst summer, I confess I am very sorry for Douglas Tremaine." llie person thus commiserated scarcely folt any great amount of sorrow for himself just then. On the contrary, a stunned foeling was the flrst sensation which he actually realized. Significant hints and whispers had reached! him before, though he bad closed his ears to them with a very perfect trust in the woman whom he loved but now he heard it all spoken out in the broad light of day, and absolute incredulity was impossible, even to him. He remembered —for how distinctly they came back to him!—too many things, acts and words and tonos, which bore out all that had been said, which made the double treachery scorn both Hear and possible. For months past—ever since a subtle chango 'In her—a sonso of impending evil, of some cruel stroke which, suspended over him, would one day fall riuI crush him to earth, had never been absent from Douglas Tremaine. Now, all suddenly, in the midst of tno golden day and the brilliant crowd, the stroke jo'long impending fell, crushing indeed, fdr a time at least, all courage and hope.

He was not a man to sink very utterly or very long, however, even under the worst blow of fate. Save that ho was somewhat paler than usual, he looked in all respects his pleasaut self when he appeared at Ross Beverley's side, not very long after (Jerald Tremaine had gone away. "Do you know I don't think you aVe well placed to see the racoft?" he said, after they had ezobanged salutations.

'this does not seem a place in which to speak of personal matters, but Lcannot defer what I desire to say. 1 might have seen long ago that I had no powor to win your heart but the man is blind who loves as I love you, and it is only to-day that I begin to realize my great selfishness. Dear, do not think hardly of me that I have clung so desperatoly to my last thread of nope—your promlso. Do not dospiso mo that I did not say long ago what—what I wish to say now. Do you understand? I am awkward, I know, but it is only this: When your promise, KOCH, begins to be a fetter, in God's name let it cease to be a bond!" "Perhaps it has begun to be a fetter to you," alio said, with lips so pale that they would scarcely have been recogniiwd as her own. "Certainly this is a strange address. What have I done or said that you should think I want a release from my promise?"

Ho smiled a little sadly. If nothing else had dono so, her tone would have told him how guiltily her conscience responded to his charge. "You have done nothing," he answered—"nothing for which I blame you. It was impossible for you to control your heart, though you tried—wasl blind, my poor Ross, that I did not sooner see tne effort it cost you?—to control your manner. It was I who was mad and selfish and determined to win yon at all hazards. But, thank God, I am wiser than that to-dnv. Thank God fortho power t« say that unless you com) to me willingly, I will uot force vow to come at all." "You have heard something about me," she said, stopping suddenly and facing him with her impetuous eyes (fortunately it chanced to be a place where they were not likely to be observed) "you have been listening to some miserable, petty gossip, and I demand to know what"it was.' "You are mistaken," he said, a little drearily. **Nothing which others said of you could influence me a jot if my own judgment did not seeood it. It dexvs not matter whether or not they are right in saving you love another man. It is enough that you do not love met Hence I free you, as far as lies in my power, from an engagement which has only fettered you." "You moau that ail is over between us," she mid, after apause, with slightly quivering Hp. "Well, no one has any right to blame yon—I least of all but somehow it never occurred to me that Douglas Tremaine would be likely, under any provocation, to fling a woman's pledge bade to her as a worthless thing."

The next day Gerald Tremaine rung Mrs. Beverley's door-bell punctually at twelve. Somehow he had been disturbed and disquieted by Ross's manner the day before. IIo had hot been able to banish from his mind the unpleasant recollection of something very like scorn in her eyes |and her voice, when she spoke of his having made the man whom he meant to rob in another way his step-ping-stone to fortune, Capricious and wayward as she was, ho did not believe, however, that she would fail to fulfil the spirit of the pledge she had given him, and it was a relief to think that all these troublesome doubts would soon be set at rest by the magnetic charm of her personal presence.

There was less of magnetic charm about this personal presence than he had expected he felt that when she came in with a shade of reserve spread over her, as it were, through which he did not dare to break. They talked common-

"I understand that Douglas is really next thing to ruined," said Mrs. Beverley. Then, sharply, "Did I not hear you made an appointment with him for to-morrow, Ross?"

Yes," answered Ross, still with the same air of indifferent apathy. "May I ask for what purpose?" "Cannot one make an engagement with one's betrothed, mamma, without being called to account for it?" "It might be necessary to inquire which gentleman has the honor to bear that title at present," said her mother with a sneer. "If it is Douglas Tremaine. your sense of duty toward him must certainly have developed since last summer." "Many things have changed since last summer," said Rose, flushing, but speaking quietly. "Among the rest, my sense of nonor has developed as well as my sense of dutv. My engagement with Deuglas Tremaine was your work, mamma you know that as well as I. Because he was'the bost match in society,' you never let me rest until I accepted him, and last summer you were miserable because I flirted with Gerald Tremaine. Now that their conditions of fortune are reversed, however, you are anxious to hand me over with the fortune from one to the other. But I have ceased to be a puppet and having played one part in my life which sufficiently degraded me, I absolutely decline to play another infinitely more degrading. If ono trained as I have Been has a right even to breathe the name of honor. I shall stand fast where my honor holds me—by Douglas Tremaine!" "But good God!" cried Mrs. Beverley, becoming unconsciously profance in her amagement and wrath "I thought it was the other one with whom you were in love?" "It sounds like irony to talk of my being in love with anybody." said her daughter, with a scornful laugh. "Haven't I heard all my life that such a thing is mere sentimental folly Surely at this late day, mamma, you are not going to preach consideration for my heart?" "When you think yourself at liberty to Biieer at me ahd all my efforts for 'our good, it is time that I should eave you to your owu foolish, wilful way," said Mrs. Beverley, with dignity. "I have made sacrifices and efforts be yond number to establish you brilliant ly in life, and this is the thanks you give me, you ungrateful, disobedient girl!"

thought it

promise anything more, you know that. Yes," as he smiled meaningly, "more may have been implied, but it was never spoken. I don't mean to clear myself by a quibble, however," she went on, with a haughty gesture. "I face the full consequences of all that was implie I, and I say to vou, Gerald Tremaine, tbut 1 would break like straw the most solemn pledge which could possibly be invented if it bound me to a man who could win a fortune as you have done 1' "That is very right, very just!" he Baid, flushing deeply. "Turn against me for the very thing which you prompted, which but for you. would never have been done!" "God is my witness that 1 had not the

faintest suspicion of what you meant to do," she said. "If I had known it, I should have told you then, as I tell you now, that it was an act which I scorn as a treachery." "Ross."'said Douglas—it was he who put out his hand to his cousin—"Gerald only claimed his rights. No one knows that better than I." "My dear old boy, I—I should never have done it if I had not been tempted beyond my strength," said Gerald. "It is retribution on me that I have done it for nothing."

Then it was Ross who melted. "Gerald," she said, coming forward and holding out her hand quite humbly, "forgive me. It seems to me that I have done nothing but harm in my life—that I work ill to every oae. It grieves me to the heart to have given you so much false hope, but I—what can I do -when it is Douglas whom I love

She looked at him with so much appealing softness in her eyes, that even the sore and angry heart of the man who felt that he nad been tricked and forsaken melted under its influence. "God bless you he said, a little hoarsely. It was all that he could say, and perhaps it is as well to end with this beneaiction. Certainly Mrs. Beverley would have something of a different kind to say if she were allowed a voice.

Every passenger in the car was aroused. One man called to the husband to wrap his overcoat around the lady another passenger pulled the bell-cord and •topped the train. For a few minutes "pandemonium reigned supreme"in the car. Everybody was looking for fire, and overybody saw everything but fire. After the lady calmed down it transpired that she had been sitting with one foot upon the ledge through which the heating pipes run. The register immediatly under being open she received a startling and unexpected hot blast which surprised her and caused the confasion which followed.

The man that wanted her saved with an overcoat is going into the salvage business. The man that stopped the train will never be known.

BRIGGS.

All the cowboys on the ranche liked Briggs because he was always so kind, so cool and brave,and had a nerve as strong as steel. He came to us one day when we needed hands and were getting ready to make a "spring drive." He asked for employment, and Bolly Jennings, the foreman, sized him up, like bis looks, and he become one of us. "What's your name?" some one inquired. "Well, it doesn't make much much difference what it is," he said, and his thin lips closed firmly "but you can call me-Briggs."

That settled the matter. There was a sharp look in his eye which indicated that it was no one's business what- his name was, and so the boys just took him at his word and called him Briggs.

Well, to shorten along story, he lived with us for over three years, and was always the same man. He worked hard and willingly, and when ahead of a stampede on a dark night, or under Are in a raid after cow thieves, he was invariably as devoid of excitement asa statue, and it seemed as if fear was a sensation he had never known.

His face was handsome, but grave,and his eyes were large and bright, and of a liar pale blue color. When his jlood was up not a muscle in his countenance moved, but his eyes would grow cold and gray and sharp," and his steady look appeared to pierce your brain, so intense was it. His form was tall, graceful and muscular, and as straight as an arrow. This will answer for a short description of Briggs' personal appearance. part of December shot himself while cleanin,

wound—a rather unromantic way for the hero of a story to be served, but it was so.

Poor Briggs' nerve was such that he did not believe that he was going to die. but the doctor, who had been summoned a distance of forty miles, said there was no hope.

It was then the cow-boys, rough and uncouth as they were, showed their affection for Briggs. They nursed him day and night as tenderly as a woman, and in bis weakness heevidenced his appreciation of every little kindness by a smile that brought tears to the eye. There was no woman present—only a dying man among men—but those hardy fellows, who made the prairie their home, became gentle, almost womanly, in their actions,

Briggs lingered until Christmas morning, and, when he saw that he was sinking fast. Bolly Jennings, Jim Anderson. Tea Williams, Arkansas Bob,and the rest of the boys gathered about the l9ed "is there any hope, Bolly?" he asked,

I can't say, Briggs, but while there is life there is hope." "Well, there is darn little life leift and he looked at us and smiled "but I can stand what comes. God made me a man, and there is nothing else He has made that I cannot face."

His voice grew husky then, and we lifted him up on bis pillow. "Boys, I have the best old mother in the world away back in the old States, and I would like to see her now, but I cannot. She will never hear of my death and it is better, perhaps, because then shG will always nope to see me again. No, she must never know how I died or the life I have led. It would kill her. I—I believe I am go—going now, boys. I don't know where to, but I can face it and a defiant smile curled his lips.

We saw the life slowly fade out of his eyes—a strange, chilly sight—and in death, with that smile of defiance and the cold, fixed stare af his eye, he looked as if he was face to face with an enemy. It was a touching sight to see how the boys stood around the dead form of Briggs, and endeavored to hide their emotion and failed.

The tears ran down the face of Arkansas Bob like rain off the gable-end of a corn-crib, and Ted Williams and Jim Henderson and several more bowed their heads, while their form shook with the sobs they would not allow to escape.

The boys dug a grave on the bank of the Brazes river, and that Christmas night as the clouds drifted away, and the moonlight fell upon the snow-cover-ed ground and sparkled amid the ijeladen limbs of the tall forest tress, we laid poor Briggs dowa in his narrow resting place.

The only requiem that was sung was the roar of tne turbid Brazos, as itsurged and tumbled along on its way to the sea —a maes sung by nature.

When the grave had been filled, Jim Henderson said "I think we ought to have some kind of service, It ain't right by a durn sight to go away without sayin^somethin' over the grave—any you fellows got a bible

No one had a bible, nor had seen one in a number of years. "Well, suppose some one say a sorter of a prayer."

The boys scratched their heads, glanced at one another .for a moment, and then looked away off into the woods.

Finally some one whispered, "Sish! Arkansas Bob's goin' to pray," and he did. "Oh, Lord!" he said, "I guess in your opinion I'm pretty tough, but I ain't askin' nutbin' for myself, it's for Briggs. He is dead now, but he was as white a man as ever walked. He never did no man~a hurt, and he had a hurt in him as big as a mule, and no one as I've heard, ever said a word agin him. I don't know as what I say will have much influence, but Briggs stood well with us down here, and although I don't know much about his career, or his history, or his family, he was aftnian that you could bank on every clatter. He gave a sick Mexican |4.50 once for medicine, and then turned right around and nursed him|through a fever, but the infernal. Greaser hadn't been well more'a two days before be stole Brigg's saddle-bags. Ah! Lord, there hain't any preacher nowhere round here, or we'd h«d him here to say something more pinted to you than I can say it. I never mattered any with the bible, an' can't ust now remember a hymn-song, but 'm a man of my word mean what I say, an' Briggs, ifhe gets a chance, will make as good a record in heaven as anyone that ever got there. He had away down in his heart, something that was square, an' as true as steel, an'. Oh! Lord, you musnt go back on that kind of a man, 'cause they're too skeerce in these parts. Amen.

The prayer waa as rough as Bob, but no more sincere, as was evidenced by his tearful eye and trembling lip. After the prayer the boys ranged themselves on one side the grave and drawing their six-shooters fired a salute over their dead comrade, and while the sharp report were still echoing through the vaults of the forest tbey turned and slowly left the scene.

Who Briggs was no one will ever know, but in that solitary mound on the banks of the Brazes, now matter over with rank graaaes and creeping vines, rests one of the bravest men that ever fSsced eternity and his God.—New Orleans Time Democrat,
