Eva fell dead at her ' feet, the warm rich blood flowing from ' her heart. Those who have made a study of the mental make up of the! genus homo, have never yet discover-' ed why man, and woman as well, will play so carelessly with that "Janus" j DOinted weapon, "jealousy. Many a1 thoughtless word or act, has been wormwood to the heart of those you j love the best. Up at the foothills of the mountains, j in a rich little vaUey lived two weathy j and highly distinguished families, neighbors and life long friends., In the home of each was a beautiful girl, just blooming into the highest; type of Southern womanhood. They j had been playmates, schoolmates and! friends from their very earliest re-' collection. The country round ibout | thought their love for each othej was the love of Damon and Pythias. Whon j they made their entrance into society, ] they were much admired ana connect, by the young gentry of the surrounding country. Eventually, thert came: into their young lives from an aJja-i cent county, a young man well born, f well educated, handsome as a Greek god, with all the attainments of a; well bred gentleman. He paid mark- j ed attention to Eva, the daugiuer 01 Mr. Benson, at the same time oiid court equally marked to Evelim, the daughter of Mr. Wade.

They were married in great pomp and ceremony, the rice and old shoes had been thrown. Many well wishes and good luck had been given. Then , the young couple rolled away to :i.e home of the groorn. A year had passed, a year of bliss and great expectations to the devoted couple, who, hand in hand, had made '* ** *- ?"1 ~ /-> ? > + V>oir> ini:rnt?V ! ine nrsi nine swuc wu iuvu jwu.* . of married life. Not a speck or a I shadow had ever come over the horizon ! L of their lives. Their future looked j all fair sailing, till at Christmas tide.1 Then Mr. Wade longing to see again | w the young bird which had flown his ; I nest, invited the young couple 10 visit | him. Again the fatted calf was killed, a great feast spread, his frionds and neighbors summoned to join in the pleasures and revelry of his daughter's home-coming. Th-e old home- j stead was richly decorated with the 1 lilies of the valtey and mountain flowers, for which the "land of the! sky" is so justly famed. It was the first meeting since marriage of her friends that Eva had met her old admirer and his wife, her GETS $500 FROM DOCTOR. 3fa;on Physician Reset This Woman's Shoulder Carelessly. i 'Atlanta, March 20.?The apellate 9 court has just affirmed a verdict of $500 given Mrs. Anna Smith against Dr. A.

She was bouyant, vibrant, and as merry as a lark of the meadows. The young wife was in no less happy mood. Everything was going ol as sprightly and as merry as the famous marriage bells, to the "tipping of the light fantastic toes."

"On with the dan'ce let joy be unconfined," cried the old fiddler in the corner, as the last quadrill, before supper was announced, the young husband and Eva taking th-iir places at the head of the s^t. Eveline approached her husband and said in a low quiet tone, "Henry you promised to dance this set with me." "Not on your life," rejoined the laughing effervescent Eva. The husband made some embarrasing excuses, "his forgetfulness" and "another time" th-:-n away they whirled wi\h the dancer?. At thp end. snnner \va* cnnoinced, and Henry, through u ithoughtedness, or perhaps the ethics oi the occasion required it, took his partner in to supper. Perhaps he hid forgotten, or never knew, "hell hatu no fury, iike a woman scorned." Eveline approached her father and requested the Ioj.i of his knife Witn some hesitation, Mr. Wad* gave his knife, after being told she wished to sharpen a pencil. On the settee in the now empty dance apartment, she sharpened her father's knife, to u. razor like edge. While thus encased, the lighthearted and frivolous ?va came singing aijd danciig in the room. She little dreamed, perhaps, of the volcano that was then seething in th<* breast of her friend, nor of the awful tragedy that was awaiting hor.

"Eva, you have danced one time too often," and the knife descended into the fair breast of the unfortunate girl. Without a groan or quiver she fell to the floor dead, the hot red blood flowing from her heir". The guests rushed in, found Eveline, apparently dazed, the knife still dropping with blood, the lifeless Eva at her feet, i The people were too horrified to speak or to think rationally.
