HOW FLORENCE MET HER P* FATE. A pretty blonde sat in the sumptuously furnished oarlor of a mansion on a [ fashionable street in Washington. She j was reclining in rather a listless man- j ner in a comfortable lounging chair j and her blue eyes had rather a dreamy ' > expression. y -- attire indicated "that was \ about; to attend some ent^rtagi^eSit or k ^atherin^, for it was composed-of ^somo *3 sofj^thicfc white material which fell in gracefbljfolds arouidThcr tall and lis-* some figore.5ie jjhort wido^ialeeves4 fell back from her round arms, upon rwtuca gleamed magnmcenc aiamoca bracelets. She was an. exquisitely lovely creature, this Florence Bradly, a ) woman who would attract and bold your attention among a thousand, ordinary beauties, by the wonderful way in which her graceful figure carried-itself, L, 'alone, if nothing else. ||| ' She was simply regal, and to-day she. H had arrived at her twenty-second year. * W The beauty of her wide, intellectual r . brow, and her eyes were what attractfc ed you most; a world of power lay in ? tbenK and-iyot. some of Florence's fashMf donable lady friends whispered to- each Other thai she was slightly eccentric. Hp "How oddly she wears her hair!" said one: and "How . independently 8K she carries herself! She is almost W masculine in her walk!" cries 'another. Ah, envy! It .is true thrZ Florence were none of those fringe / over he? beautiful white forehead, $ which the fair sex call "bangs;" neither did she , friz her hair; bnt let it wave in "all its natural golden magnificent and wonderful thickness, right back from her W* \ face, thus giving to her features the intliof a? Tiorhf-. tn wo. kWii ?CVUVV MiMH V* ? ? ?- .. v , f man's face. The male sex, however, found noth1 ing eccentric about her; one and all they were ready to fall down and worN . ship at her shrine?from the youn'srest r to the oldest?for, as I have said be* fore, she was wonderfully lovely," and her white, white skin, the purity of which was the result of perfect health ' and not of washes or powder, was the secret envy of every society woman in Washington. A knock at the door arousedTher from her reverie. HL "Come in!" she said in her silvery . Hor voice, and a footman entered bearing v * & bouquet of rare beauty, composed enf tirely of* white japonicas and purple helitrope. Florence started up in a sitting posture. "O James, who sent me that? How k * beautiful it is!" she cried, receiving-it Br gj from the 'servant's hand." 1 "A mo-n rvrrauvhi-. v? 1Cticc_ Wft said fc. his master sent' it with compliment*. By but didn't leave any name. - Se htu> ried off instantly, Miss, as soon as he r gave them to me," answered the man. "Yery well. Is my sist'er-in-law near} ly ready, James?" "She will be down soon, her maid |j& ' ? told mo, miss," and the footman reSi^ tired from the room. jK "Who can have sent me this?" mus~, ed the beauty, turning the flowers round W ' in her white fingers.

I * There was no name signed?not even ' aninitial. Florence was puzzled, but ft - pleased and excited,- too. y "It cannot be any one of my circle of gentleman acquaintances, because they would have signed their name. It Km US I LKJ?.

"I shall carry, it with me at any : rate to Mr?. Drummond's party; whoever the sender is, he will be there. But iiow will I know him?" j. Here Mrs. Bradly, dark and magniRcent in rose-colored velvet, point lace fed diamonds, swept into the room. Ber face wore an approving and affeoHbnate smile when she regarded her , ?V: ?

"They were sent j to mo by a nameless admirer. See, ; here is the note which accompanied ; them." Mrs. Bradly read the note with an exclamation "of wonder and delight, i and admired the flowers as much as ' Florence could have wished. "My dearest girl, they are just the | thing for your pure style oi beauty; ! t?ey make you look exquisite! But, who can the sender be? Oh, I have i.I It | must have been that wealthy Mr. Brico i ?the banker, you know, who raved i about you so at the Senator's ball ! three weeks ago. It must be he. Such j delicate taste!" "What, Jane! Not that ugly, vulgar, j old man! I hate him! No, he never ! t i r J:? j ! wouia. n3ve sucu taste us is uispiajcu here," touching the bouquet tenderly. 'My dear, pray don't speak so of Mr. Brice. I assure you he is extremely meh?very wealthy?and could dress yen and lpdgg you like a veryqueen. I should be happy if I could see you settled as his wife,1' replied her sister, sen-tentioasly. "Ugh! I don't admire your taste then, my dear Jane, and'I am afraid, if you are hot happy until you see me so established, then your chance of contentment is very slender, for you never I will see me so!"'; and Florence walked I away with a queenly step to be muffled in cloak and cloud by her maid Natalie. 'How perverse?" sighed Mrs. Bradly, looking after her sister's retreating form. "But she cannot help marrying "well; she.is so exquisitely lovely! I am proud of her." The two ladies were soon ready and I Mr. Bradly conducted them to" their } carriage. The. drive was a silent one, vand Florence leaned back with, bright eyes, trembling a little with excitement, and holding her flowers, the sweet perfume'of which filled the car riage cioseiy. When they reached the Drummonds' splendid mansion, brilliant with light* that streamed cheerfully from . Ithe-plate-glass windows, the street for-a whole block was lined with carriages. "We are a trifle late," whispered Mrs. Bradly to Florence. "Yes," nodded the girl. " When they were fairly shown into the drawing rooms, which were crowded, a murmur of admiration ran around. Never had Florence looked so brilliant. Itere-^as'a'^fC'tspwoiited. pink in her cheeks, ancf her large eyes-. sparkled' l?ke /jewels^ Immediately tie ladies werersurroucded^bj^acquaintances and . friends, and' a'dozen ^enttemen at!

She would rather sit down and talk to her friends. So the admirers were compelled to give it .np with reluctance and disappointment. * She made her way over to where the vrmncrest daughter of her hostess sat. Margaret Druminond was a silent girl, j without beauty, and was consequently J overlooked and snubbed ,by her elder ! sisters. And f?r this very reason Florence always was friendly with the lonely girl, and an intiruucy had sprung up "between the two so widely unlikfe in.; appearances. * They sat together discussing the different'guests. rAt,last Margaret said: * ?? ??? ?? mamvm'vwa Ttof U Conn i """AXiertJ UUUICS uiauwia mvuiiu.'uiuiu- I ders! Look, Flora, don't you think j him as handsome as an Apollo? I! think he is the very handsomest man I' i ever saw," she concluded enthusiasts ! caily, in a low tone. Florence look up and saw in truth, a handsome man, tall and straight* with 1 a handsome Saxon face, and eyes as j blue as her own. And wonder of won- I ders! Could it be? In his coat he j wore a small bouquet of iaponicas and hell trope. She had not time to answer Margaret before Mrs. Drurnmond and the gentleman came up. She dropped hee eyes in trembling qonfusion, and did hot raise them again until she heard her hostess'" .voice saying, as in a dream: . ' ...f; : "Miss Bradly, let me introduce you to Mr. Saunders. . He is one of my friends. I want you two' to like each other," and without further ado the lady sailed 'away a^ain, taking her youngest daughter with her, ind left the two people alone. Florence glanced up them The two pairs of blue eyes met J Mr. Saunders' were smiling; then, as they both rea lized the unceremonious introduction fiven bj Mrs. Drammond, they.both erst, out'.'.lauffhikg;*'which toot^away Florence?s- enwairassmerit. 39&y^were soon"upon friendly terms.' And directly the gentiemsn,saiot in a Casual way, "How well your 'flowers "become, yon, Miss Bradly! .They match your' dress to perfection."" Florence looked up. saw a smile lurking in his eyes, and dropped hers in confusion. Thero.was no doubt ^ AT/I V?TVirt X1SJY19 OULVs tviu UUOUU, UVUUV4 V* the-bouquet, the writer of the verses, was. before her.

Mv girls admire "Sim immensely. _ But then, yon knew, they are all engaged?except Margaret, who is. too young." When Florence laid down upon her conch that night it was to dream of blonde hair and blue eyes. After that evening they met repeat edly, and tne gentleman canea irequently at her brother's house. One day when he came Florence was alone, her sister having gone oat shopping with a friend. Florence, feeling a* little indisposed, remained at home. She was playing Beethoven when he was shown in, but turned quickly, with a welcoming smile, at the sound of his voice. They talked-of that evening at Mrs. Drummond's party, and somehow?Florence could not tell exactly how?the gentleman brought forward I the subject of the flowers. She looked up suddenly right into his eyes with her clear, direct gaze. "You sent them," was all she said. "Yes, I sent them," he returned. "I 1 own it. I was the writer of the verses." Then, suddenly, "Florence, I had seen you at the opera. I fell in love with r you at first sight. I lore you now." She did not blush and drop her eyes after the manner of ordinary young women, but looked directly at him. "And T fell in love with von the first time I saw you," she announced calmly. What if her friends?her envious lady friends?had heard her! Would not they have voted her more strong-minded than ever? I fear so. When Mrs. Bradly returned from shopping, Mr. Saunders was still there. The wedding 1 was celebrated with great magnificence a month later, and the bride was lovely if she wa3 eccentric. k . MEXICO'S GRAND PALACE. j Where Thousands of Human Victim# Were Slaughtered. ' The "Palacio Del Gobemo" of republican Mexico was built by its kingly oppressors.

It is situated in the east side I of the square, which is south of the cathedral. This square is the most beautiful in the city, being laid out after the European fashion, ornamented with flowering shrubs and eticlyptus trees, and adorned witfv statues by the unfortunate Caiiotta. Til is is* also the place where the famous Teocali, or sacred place of the Aztecs, was situated, and where at least twenty thousand of human victims were anntiaiiy slaugh' tered. . Passing in at tie" central entrance of this building, where dusky soldiers were walking'their beats, and many others "off duty" were lounging around, giving it more the appearance of a monarchial palace, than a republican capitol, we saw before us the ccpfe ^tral patio or court.

He is. as yet only committed for trial, and it will not do to assume bis guilt till he has been proven guilty. Perhaps it will not be safe to infer that the official detectives may be dispensed with, and the ferreting out of crime be left to newspaper reporters.

You see, that cowboy bad Opened a big bag of salt lie had brought out from tne ranch to give the cattle, galloped across the herd's course and emptied the' bag.
