Jt was astounding to Ins young and untried spirit that so many people could be sO entirely lost to a sense of tlie pleasures to be gotten out Of this world, such as moonlight rides und walks, picnics, private theatricals md hops, lie suggested rides. The two bactU'tors' were vavatrymeu, -arrrt-Knri- they rotlo for a living and not fhr fun, two of the girls could ride, hut or.o lin^n't a habit, the other two were afraid to try it. ifarton got up some ridiug parties of two—himself and tlie one girl; but she was the least charm ing of tlie quartette, so ho found them dull He ventured upon suggesting some wall:*, but tlie idea w-tis scouted. Waite in that alkali dust, witii coyote howls the only sounds In tlie airi They mocked at his youthful ardor. The board walk around the parade ground was good enough for them, if they wanted to stroll; but as that was per fectly within the range of vision of some two hundred and fifty enlisted men, it was not agreeable to saunter along with a nice girl under tlieix eyes. Barton gave that up and tried picnics. All tlie world knows that a picnic is trying to the sweetest tem per, to tire most complacent souls. The outcome of this particular onewas that it put; one more family on tlie •’official terms" list. No'Vnc could be worked up to the private theatricals point, for in army, ns in civil, life every one wanted to have tho star foie. 1 . V Anyone else would have been dis heartened at these repealed failures and have Ecttlcd down into tire ordi nary round of duties of the ordinary lieutenant. But Barton bad the mak- ings of a general in him, coupled with a desire to ben leader of tnetr; he- * U ’ IU , could not reconcile himself to getting up at reveille; going to bed again and bleeping until breakiMt-vt tire mess at nine o’clock; twirling his mustache and incidentally his thumbs in the Kacr (.rowHi*. Mr. Henry-Garrett, a census expert, say* of the white and black races in the U nited .State*: From 1790 to isyo the white popula tion increased from about JvOOU.OOO to 55.000,000. In the *aine time the idack* Increased from 750,000 to 7,300,010. The c figures show that the number of tire whiten was eighteen times a* great at (he end of tlie 100 year* beginning with 1790 and t to number of black* was only ton times a* great. To put tire statement in another shape, tire black* in 1090 constituted twenty per cent. 4 oj the population and ill 1890 they consti tuted only twelvupcr cent, of it. And tire greater increase of the w hite population has not been wholly due to immigration, by can sc, between 1790 and 1840, when there w.-yi very little immi gration and wl)cu the health of tlie blacks W its much better eared foi tKan they ahenisehe.* fire for it now, the in crease Iti tlie white population was rel atively co siderably greater than tliaJ. ot the black*. The census figures fbow that the blacks are gradually moving from tire border States of the South to the South A tlantic and-Gulf States,—part idlin'ly Loufklaua, Mhudssippi and A rkanwwfq- though in all' Southern States, e?*,:ept- Aikansas, the relative increase of the whites i* greater than that by the blacks This condition of afl'air* would indicate qoiu>.,sc!enrly that there is no reason to apprehend a lace eOnfliei in any one otVuhe Southern Stales at any" future tiihe. _ It Is Well kpoVvii of course that the tcmlciicv of tire blacks as well as tire w lirtesis toward the cities and towns. In TmOonly 4.2 per cent of the black* lived in cities liaving 8,WK> ihliabitanls or more. In IS79 8.3 per cent, of them iCerc residents i.f cities and towns and in 1890 twelve per cent, of them 11 is well understood that the number of'eriimnnbi. In proportion to popula tion is far greater among the blacks Ilian among the white*, but the number of paupers i- no greater. Tire reason the number of paupers Is no greater i* that in the South, particularly in the towns and elites til? poorer clasv of blacks luve means of living not pos sessed by | lover tv stricken wliltes.

Of course he could have put in his time at reading and thinking, being intellectual, but a man in his position should not be iutellec- timl. No, Barton would make a last and supreme effort to awake these leth argic people from their stupqr. He would get up a hop. Visions of old West Boint dances arose before him und filled liis soul with dungings. He made it next the order of the day to find a room big'enough to hold an or dinary set of lancers. There was no ballroom, nor was there the usual available library-room which r,o often does service. Of course none of the quarters would answer the purpose; he bethought him of one of the hos pital wards, and got the doctor's per mission to use it. It was not big—not more than twenty by thirty feet—but it could be made to do; the Hours were rough, but sperm candles would make them slippery; the Wu.lls were bare and the plaster cracked; be would draw on private houses and tlie sutler's store to decorate tlfem. : Nothing should flaunt him. -i. —•* So he sent his own striker to sweep, and dust, and scrub; he gave the post children a jubilee by letting them fchave candles on the boards and slide^ about to smooth them down. It was lots of fun for the children, and Bar ton took pleasure in watching their pretty gambols until the C. O.'ayoun^- est son slipped and broke his wrist When that happened, even this inex- perienced youth knew* that it was littlfr short of a calamity for him; thqt it would bo many a long .day before the commandant's wife—therefore tire commandant Tiimsolf'— woul 1 smile upon him again. He carried tlie child lidme.-and submitted in sileqee to the stony glare from its mother's eyes. When he tried to explain, she walked away, ft was evident that he was head as guilty of the sweet little fel low’s mishap, und he loved the child accordingly. W hen the hall ‘Vas aT draped in flags, bunting, Chinese lanterns ami parasols, Barton began to believe that fate was at last propitious; it looked very pretty, and tha nicest girl told him so, with a shy glauce which mad* th\> lieutenant W*1 as he bad .uo^ felt since old iVest I’oint days. The hop was to be on Saturday night. Tho band contributed fifteen pieces to make music for the flying feet The nicest girl .blushed and consented to let Barton take her ami have the major part of the waltzes on tlie cards which tie hitnself bad gotten up. It 'was during tLis midday glare bL success that n cloud, small but black, drifted across the sun. One of Wycr _ Barton was not to what kind, but Hie doctor that ii was of a sort whichoioUe would make worse, that the man was in the hospital, in the ward just below the one all decked for {Tie bdp, aniTthlS, therefore, the hop would hi}ve to lie po.'ttp« >, red. Now Barton was not naturally un kind, but Ire was not tire first ambitious man in tho world’s history who had sacrificed others to bis ambition. This dance had to lie a success after so many failures, H ten n>cii bad the fever. Barton pleaded, reasoned, coaxed. Tlu^V doctor was obdurtito. ^lut the doctor had a weakness; it was toddies mid that sort of thing. A deep scheme entered the lieutenant's head; he would decoy the doctor to tire sut ler's, he would get him "full”—hs ho gracefully expressed it—and when tho old fellow should bo sweet-tempered, Bartfln would make him consen having tire hop that night. H worked just as the West Pointer half foreseen. Tlie doctor, after having given nn oft-feiterated frirmn tor told him , .. . . ... The Farmers Mot Mutual Fire.

Thit rmp, as Barton l»*d ex pected, lusteH-Vll night. They danced into the wee, sum hours, for, though there were only six men, the fourgirls and a chaperon, the thing was lots of fun. The fact that there were more musicians than dancers was no draw back. The nicest girl was radiant and gave Barton great hopes. Yes, at last, here was a success. And tlie fever patient was only a little worse for the noise. Barton was rather remorseful when lie heard that tire man had be come delirious, lie sent champagne op for-him T that being hia idea of an amende honorable. Having carried this lioprtlirough, Barton was too Wise to risk another; Izg^jftstcd on his laurels. ’But some things can never be fore- Been,, least of all what an enlisted man may 'do. The fever patient had a eiiafit,who thought it Lis duty to go about tire world fighting what he con sidered wrong; he was German, and the garrison correspondent of * Ger man newspaper hi T thc city near by. lie wrote up a most pathetic account of the heartless butterflies of fashion who danced and rollicked despite a dying man in tlie ity’xt ro6:n. It made a very nice little tale, calculated £b bring tears .to any eyes. d*o doe's"a • small thing travel.

One day Barton was enlied by the commandnat’s orderly from the peace ful perusal of a note from the nicest girl, with tho request to go to the ad jutant's office, nk tlie C. 07 wished to see him. Barton stuck the little note in his .pocket—the one nearest his heart—and sallied forth without thought of harm. He even felt so se cure that lie planned how he sli&uld say a certain thing to the ni«e*t girl, lie had just hit upon a splendid speech when lie reached the office, and was beamingly happy. Fifteen minutes later he came out from tho C. O.’s presence a sadder but a wiser man. lie had been reprimand ed—severely reprimanded; had had it pointed out to him that he was a heartless brute; that he had sacrificed a sick man to liis own whims. The colonel grew quite touching as he painted the poor private's miseries. Barton reflected that be wished the -commandant'» child liadii't broken its arm. lie felt that it was the .broken not the soldier's fever, which rankled in the colonel's breast Subdued and angered, Barton walked back to liis quarters. He would re-read the note tof realm his ruffled spirits, and would then go over to nsk Ttn: nicest girl the questmu-be—hadJ planned. It took him half an hour to work up the necessary courage, and tlien he sallied forth. The nicest girl sat upon the vinc- covefed porch, a novel in her hands, but her blue eyes filled with tears and looking at •space. {Somehow,' Barton’s spirits ' fell. They 'went still lower when her only greeting was a look of reproach. He hail made up his mind, however, and, with consummate want of tact, asked the carefully planned question. Then the blue eyes of the nicest girl let fall their tears. She re proached him sobbingly.' How could lie, a man who had almost committed a murder, dare to nsk her .‘.itch—such a thing? YYhy had he never told her of that poor man with tire fearful fever? She never would have danced, know ing of it. Oh, be was heartless, cruel! She could never marry a maq so bad, so unkind as that Never! never! never! In vain did Barton explain and plead, she would not listen and she knew he was U wicked man; slip won dered why she had not found it out be fore; she had—oh! she had liked him a little bit,, and now to find .out. Oh! dear! She put her handkerchief before her eyes and ran into the bouse, drop ping her book. —- . The lieutenant picked it up and looked absently at the title: "The End 6t a llomanee.” He wondered if this were the end, he wondered, if it had been a romance at nil, or only a com edy. Then lie iaid the novel on the chair and walked down the steps, still wondering—wondering if that hop had been a InVwling success!—Gwendolen Overton, in San Francisco - Argoneut.
