THE Terre Haute EXPRESS claims that 'the Republican is a party of progress.— The records for the past ten years gave ample evidence that into the public trcasury it is peculiarly a party of progress.—

Ind. Sentinel. Yes, it has progressed into the public

treasury

of Indiana with ten millions of

money wherewith it has paid that amount of debt incurred by the extravagance and «. rascality of the Democratic party. It is st:ll engaged, in State and nation, in removing debts incurred by the same party.

One feature of its progress is to get the people out of debt, and that is its most anti-"Democratic" feature.

THE New Albany <Commercial> learns that, on Saturday last, a quarrel sprang up between two men named Marion Payne and Lewis Laird, two laborers employed on the farm of Lewis Snyder, about three miles south of Salem, in which

Laird shot and mortally wounded Payne. There had long been a grudge between the parties, dating as far back as the beginning of the war, but Payne had always endeavored to avoid an encounter with Laird, They were both refugees—one from Tennessee, and the other from Alabama or Georgia. Up to Monday night the murderer had succeeded in avoiding the vigilance of the officers, who were on his track. He was supposed to be concealed somewhere in the neighborhood of Salem.

SHADOWED ftLTAR!

Betrothed, WeMel, DU«reed.

BY "KKB WJSTLUtE.?"

"Is this the point? Are you sore that the beautiful stranger will pas* here?" "Yes. Each dav for a week past she has gallopped up this bridle path, on the same thorough-bred hone, riding with a fearless dash. She is beautiful in face, exquisite in fond. JSf Mr means or fool I will posess her, for my rerr soul is in: chains since I first set eres upon her. I hare striven in vainto learn who she is. Mounted as well as the best cavalier in the park, I sought to trace her home.,

and look on some beauty I had not seen, before." The two who thus conversed stood holding their horses by the side of one of the romantic bridle-paths in the Central' Park. They were first-class gamblers, Leslie Da rant and Frank Belpher by name, partners in one of the great palaces of the city. "You mean-to force yourself on her acquaintance, if I understand you, Frank?" said the elder of the two. "I do, and my plan is such that it cannot fail. You oraerve the vagabond boy smoking a cigar beneath the tree nearly opposite. He smokes to keep fire ready for use. Watch his motion and mine, as you see the beutiful stranger approach, and yon will read my plan and see it executed at the same time. Look! there she comes!"

A sharp whistle from Frank Belphor caused the vagabond boy to look alive, and as the lady with treses of dark brown hair, floating loosely from beneath her jet black riding hat, galloped up the narrow roadway On a magnificent horse, the young* wretch threw lighted fireworks in the path.

The horse, terrified, bound to one side so quickly that it seemed scarcely possible the' beautiful rider could keep her seat—then as the young villain cast another1 bunch directly beneath the animal, the horse, wild with afiright, sprang forward, and dashed madly toward a point where a deep chasm yawned before it. "Heaeas!" cried Be'phor, realiving the "she is going to her

young lady's peril, death!" She was almost on the edge of the chasm, when a man in the military garb of an officer, rose from the verge of the rock where he had been reclining, seized the horse by the bit with a giant's strength and held it rearing on the very verge of the cliff, till t^e lady slipped from the saddle and stood by his side. "I owe you a life, sir," she said, in a low, tremulous tone. "I owe you a life, and I shall never forget it." "Fair lady, the service I have had the happiness to render is a thousand times repaid by the thought that Providenced place me where I could prevent the sacrifice of such marvelous beauty. Pardon me—I, a soldier, reared afar from courtly scenes, may be rude hasty in speech, but I would not be discourteous." "I know it, sir, and as I see strangers approaching, will ask you to adjust my broken bridle rein, aed assist me to my saddle without their interference. This card, with my name and residence, will tell you where to receive from me a more fitting acknowledgement that I appreciate your courage and manly kindness.

She handed him the card just as Frank Belphor rode hastily up,and the latter saw the officer receive it.

His face was white—anger the cause of the pallor, for another had rendered the service he had courted—another evident ly received the encouragement he sighed for—the probable chance «f a visiting acquaintance. "1 feared a terrible accident and rode hither to endeavor to avert it," he ex claimed. "This gallant officer has nobly preser ved me, and now renders the assistance of strangers unnecessary," said the lady, with com dignity. "Your bridle is ready, and I think your horse is now completely^ controllable," said the offider. ^Permit me to assist you, and at the same time to proffer my card, with my name and rank.' "Gratefully I accept both, and shall expect an early call, she said, as the officer lifted her to the saddle.

The gambler heard her words and saw "the look which accompanied them, and his was ghastly in his effort to suppress the rage which filled his brest.

But he did not forget his intentiqn to force an acquaintance, at all events and at all risks.

Suggesting that the lady's horse was not yet under safe control, he asked per mission to escort her as she rode on.

With dignity the lady declined his ofler on the ground that she did not need aid rom a stranger, and preferred to ride alone.

Baffled, the angrv gambler turned to the officer, and demanded to see the card the lady had given.

The demand was refused with the contempt it merited. The foiled libertine, swearing to have satisfaction, demanded the card of the officer, who quietly gave it him, with his address.

"Mother, I have metiny

dettinyat

last!"

It was the mysterious equestrienne of the Central Park who spoke. Beautiful in an evening neglige, with her brown curling hair falling over full, sloping shoulders, her queeny form half concealed and half displayed in the loose robe she wore, her darlc eyes full of enthusiasm, it was no wonder the mother gazed on her with proud admiration as she answered: "Your destiny, Anna? What do you mean "That I have this day had a strange adventure, dear mother. I have looked death squarelv in the face, and had it not been for the man whom I term my destiny, you would now be childless. I will tell you all by and by, but this I will sav now." In him to whom I allude I have also found the first person in whom my heart it its inner throbbings has ever acknowledged an interest—the first whose voice has lingered on ray ears after he was out of sight!" "Anna, have you fallen in love, and with a stranger?" "I am in love, I believe, mother, and with one whom I never saw until to-day. But he is not a stranger to me or to you or to fame. He is an officer and a gentleman, one who'e service has been acknowledged by deserved promotion, and who has made his mark with his pen as well as his sword!" "His name, my daughter?" "Colonel Edgar Mansfield, mother. Have you not seen it in print?" "Yes, often but tell me how, whe^ and where you met him."

Anna Marston gave an account of the danger which she had escaped, and enthusiastically described the heroic con duct of her preserver. "Mother," she said, at the close of her narration, "I looked down into his blue eyes while I faltered between life and

eyes while iauerea DWWCCII me death, and in their soulful depths I reo my fate.

in death." "Anna, my child, this is folly! To give your love before its is sought, is unmaidenly to say the least." '•Mother, it is the voice of Nature, and who shall still its pleadings? Till now I have been as ice to all who have sought my smiles—till now distrustful, believing that the heiress, and not the woman, being wooed, should ne'er be won. But it is over. He will come to see me—he will woo—I shall accept, and I pray Heaven we shall be happy!

At a later hour, when Mrs. Marston was alone in the drawing-room, a servant entered and said: "Colonel Mansfield has called to see Miss Anna." "Request him to walk in and I will gladly welcome him then you may inform my daughter of his arrival."

The Colonel entered, and was received with a courtesy, a grateful kindness, which made that queenly matron nobly prepossessing in his sight.

The conversation, hinging much on the service he had been so nappy as to render, continued until the rustle of her dress announced beautiful Anna Marston, our heroine. As he rose, she glided forward, and with hands extended to grasp his, exclaimed: "1 am so glad you have come so soon, that my dear mother may with myself join in a renewal of grateful expressions for—" "A service which fortune threw in my way, and to which I hope my kind friend will make nq further allusions, for by the

"None at all. And I can now explain to yon h»w it occurred. lie reader, who has noted all the incidents of the plot laid by Belphor needs no repetition of them here.

Colonel Mansfieldlistened, and with the keen perception of a man of the world, read the entire plot in all its dark details. And while he rejoiced at its failure, he warned the lady that bad men seldom give up a wicked plan because foiled at first, and that she must yet guard against peril from these men.

Urged on, they could not say why, or cared not to ask, each in turn confided to the other a knowledge of their respective positions.

The colonel, who had gained hLs rank in the volunteer service, was now about to enter the regular army as a captain pf cavalry. He intended to do so, for in frontier and garrison duty he could find leisure to use his pen, and the income from that, added to his regular pay, would enable him to continne to support and educate an orphan sister—his dear little Pearl, then at the Eutger's Female College.

He informed Miss Marston that his sister would graduate during the following week, and that it was ms intention to then take her to the West with him. "For," he added, "she is too young, too pure to go out alone in contact with the world." "When your dear sister graduates, I would like to hdve her here to live with me. Birds shall sing in every window, and flowers greet her eye on every side. Promise me, my preserver, that you will let her live with me, at least for a time?" "I would be unjust to both you and her to refuse, and if you will, together we will visit her to-morrow, for it is Saturday, and she will be all day at home."

Anna, noble hearted, far above the selfishness of too many of the wealthy daughers of America, now revealed her soulful nature, as well as a part of her history. "Do not think me bold, Colonel Mansfield," she said. "I do not mean to be. But I am, I fear, a spoiled child. Moth er was left a widow when I was very young, with an immense fortune in her hands, a large part of which became mine a year ago, when I became of age. She has had me educated at home, but has allowed me always to have my own way in everything. It has made me independent and wilful, apt to speak just as I. feel, and to act as I believe right. If I err, forgive me." "Dear Miss Anna, your faults are the faults of an angel, and I can never see them. Were I wealthy, placed above the influences of that tide which, ebbing and flowing, carries poor humanity whither it wills, I would feel independent, and say more to you now than honor will permit. For to tell you that I love you, to ask you to give your love and hand to one unable to do more than to keep himself out of debt, and to raise aud educate one sweet sister, would indeed be dishonorable." "Edgar Mansfield, I drop all ties, I scorn all cold ceremony, I hate conventionalities. I acknowledge that

you—that

nature whispers to me you are

the one, the only one to whom I can confide the happiness of my life."

This outburst of affection was succeeded by a cry of alarm. Anna Marston, raising her eyes to the curtain of the large window, fronting the parlor, saw a face which she immediately recognized. Her startled exclamation caused the owner of the face to fly, and pursuit was made in vain.

To account for the presence of this strange face at Miss Marston's window, it is necessary to return to the twp gamblers. With bitter curses on his lips, Belphor rejoined his partner, Durant, and explained the manner in which Mansfield had saved the lady and how he had been literally refused an opportunity to make any acquaintance with her.

While he was threatening to challenge his rival, for such he mentally made him the vagabond urchin who had shared in the work rushed up, demanding the five dollars which Belphor had promised him.

Belphor gave him the money, and the boy was about to run off when the gambler said:

Not so fast, boy. I've more work for you. Do you see that officer walking toward the drive? Well, I want him followed and watched. He'll go to his hotel first, that I am sure of. But after he comes out jgain. I want to know where h^me|, qjmHP|in't want him to know thathe ftpwatched. Do this and bring the information to my lodgings—here's my card, with the address—and I'll give you five dollars more." "All right, guv'nor," returned the boy, who was about to set forth on the mission, when Durant stopped him. The latter, who had been intently scrutinizing his face for some moments, fancied that he detected in his features a striking resemblance to those of a miserly millionaire who pretended to be a childless man. "Boy, what is your name?" Durant asked. :t "Awnings." S "Awnings? That is a singular name Why are you called Awnings?" "Because I was found under a heap of awnings when I was a squaller. But you'd better let me run after that cove, if you don't'want him to get out of sight before I start."

With a motion Durant assented, and the boy started in pursuit of Col. Mansfield. The result of his mission has been inferred by the reader, for it was Awnings' face that had startled Miss Marston when she beheld it gleaming at her through the window.

Her startled cry caused the boy to beat a hasty retreat, and with rapid footsteps he made his way to the gambler's dwelling to make his report.

Mr. Belphor was alone in his chamber when the boy entered, but was joined by Mr. Leslie Durant before he had time to speak. "Well, have you followed that officer?" asked Belphor. 'I guess I have, and seen the lady too, Und he was so lovin' with her. I wits 'in ten feet of 'em for an hour, and, goslins'/ the love they did

as if they did."

"You "have done well," said Belphor. '"There is a ten dollar bill for you—but the name of the lady, did you find that out!" "Yes, he called her

Miss

Anna first,

and then he got down to Anna all alone, and then he hitched on a handle, and it was dear

Anna!"

"You heard no other name!" "No." "Then you will have to show me the house." '•Give me another and I will!' "You little rascal! have you no conscience?" 'I guess not—have you, so I can see what it's like?" "He hits you again, Frank," said Durant, laughing. "1 guess the boy ha* as much conscience as either you or I, and he would have precious little at that. You had better give him the extra ten and make him clean up and get better clothes, I think when the dirt and rags are off, I'll remember who it is that he looks like." "I'll give you another ten-dollar bill, but you must go and wash and get some better clothes on if I do, so you can go with me to the house. "Will you do it?" "In course I will. I'll ketch oold, maybe, takin* off the tough dirt, but it isn'J. no worse than the measles. I've had thenu" "Can vou get other clothes to-night?" "Yes night is just the time to work down on Water, or in Baxter street,"

Colonel Mansfield had just finished his morning'toilet the day after the occurrences just narrated, when a servant brought up a card, and announced^ the gentlemun whose name it bore as waiting
