At 10 that boaatifnl Juno mopping there was something more than pathetic about poor Locrotia’s Borrows. While Fenton, Mrs. Farrar, Helen, silent, brave faced Ellis, and a dozen sym pathetic) souls from all over the post were gathered on the north piazza over hanging the blnff and the roaring waters of the Platte, signaling to Will and watching eagerly his vigorous movements, the lady of the house re mained within doors, wept unceasingly and refused to be comforted. "It is dreadfol to think of the con^ dition that chicken salad will be in," ahe moaned. "It is preposterous to talk to bm of patience I I've said all along it was to be an unlucky d4|K'because you all know perfectly well—at least if you don’t you ought to—-that it is just 18 years ago this day that we were all gathered at Fort Crook for the funeral of Captain Crocus, which was to take place the moment the ambul.ince got ia from tbs front, sod the baud was all ready, and the cartel and the hearse and —awl after ail the whole thing had to be abandoned, for when the ambulance got la their were no remains at all —at least there Wrrv, bat they weren't ready didn’t impose silence on me, and I ■’pose I let out about your engagement”— "My what?” says poor Jack aghast. “ Your engagement. Yon said, even to attend Kitty’s wedding, yon couldn’t get-away until your* was fulfilled—on the 10th, wasn’t it?" "Certainly, our annual inspection. ,No man in the Seventh would miss that for lovi) or money, " - "But, Jack, don’t you know? I’m sure you told me a lady was in the case. You told mo her name, and—indeed, you did—that Effle and yon were to be ‘nfon transcendental idiot ! I told yon F and I—Company F and Company I— were tied for place and neither dared lose a point" And then, instead of smashing Wayne, ns was his first thought, Jack fled down stairs in search of Ellis and fonnd her and told her Wayne's story and then his own, breathlessly, eagerly, imploringly, and there were blashes and tears and soft laughter and soft, happy murmurs, and—and how horribly those big epaulets get in the way and service medals and soutache braid scratch at such times I And at last did Jack uplift his voice again to f%y< "Ellis, I’m ia heaven." and tbeJJHid the uplift a blushing, tearstainJT kiss rumpled face to archly inquire, "A Seventh.heaven. Jack?'band then did old Fenton oosne bloatcrgiK-i'i % take a veteran's share beat gave the lie to friendship. 1 loved you, I love you, and so have come to say a long goodby. I've made my fight to be yoor friend and failed. At leui-t I have been a soldier. I will not be a coward.!’ , —-— -—• x — She coaid control herself no longer. Though she had freed her hands, she seemed involuntarily stretching them forth. Then, leaning upon the table for in the over tbs started. Th.n lit It was known all | Ud< >r* the wedding party support, one hand fonnd the glove that ho hud removed and laid there. He had withdrawn a pace and lifted his bead as though the blighted eyes were striv ing to peer from under their shade for one look at the face they had gazed up on in such passionate farewell so many months before. The strains of the "Traumerei" were still thrilling soft ly through the open casements, and, overcome with emotion, tenderness and passion, Helen bent and laid her soft lips iu fervent pressure on the senseless glove. Then the room rang with startling, joyous cry. The shade^ent whizzing into space, and the next in stant Lealo bad sprung to her and seised her iu bis anna "Helen, darling — not thatl Don’t waste thoaa kissest" And she sank sob bing ia his arms just as—grand, joyous, triumphant—th* strains of the wedding march burst forth, n-»-«hoiug among I the walls of Fort Frayn*-. Koike was the first man to come taar- It a su<hl*'ii, shada^-cut a year before and that now fitted him like the skin of a sausage. A sudden move of one arm carried away the breast button. "It’s no use," be cried. "I'm worse ofl ihau Paggotty. Every jump's a but ton. ” And then Kitty caught sight of him, and then there came a scene. "What’s that?" she exclaimed. “That isn’t the man I married. I won't stir a are ns in Mad fog banal bwaao* they'd fenvrd and Anthony's play.

"Oh, for the lavof Ood, abtop him! Don't let himl Oh, mother of •Moms, it's drownin be is!" And then, all shrieks and terror, did most of the party tcutter for the balconies, while, all shrieks and terror and protestations that she'd never speak to him again if he dared to, Kitty collapsed upon a sofa. Was ever there a wedding day to match it? Soaked to the skin, dripping, bnt triumphant, Will Fatrar rode out of the floods and up the heights amid the * frenzied acclamations of the garrison, and throwing himself from the saddle at the colonel’s gate demanded to see, if not to squeeze, his bride. There were they gathered, the elite of Fort Frayne, some in wedding garb, some in travel ing dross, and what a cheer went up as he sprang to the porch and his mother wanted to clasp him, dripping though lie was, to her heart of hearts. Not so Kitty. "Don’t yon come near me, yon • dreadful thilg!” she cried, and, laugh ing and protesting, he was led away to be caparisoned for the ceremony. Lu- cretia’s spirits were’ once more in 'ebullition. Wayne was back, the re mains bad come; so why longer delay proceedings? | They were not. There was as blithe and bright and joyous a soldier wedding that perfect noonday, as etor was seen ■within the walls of olfi Fort Frayne, and Kitty made a bewitching bride, and there was a wonderful unloading of sorrow from heart after heart on to the •booMenrof one lurkless, sorely tkfofi- man.

The Chief Justice said that it waa a delicate matter to pass upon a law lookiog to the restriction of the traffic in Intoxicating liquors, hut that when the law itself recognized it as a subject of interstate truffle, it became the duty of tho court to regard it as any other article of commerce, and to handle the subject accordingly. The Chief Justice declared that the law did not conform to the require ments of the Wilson bill for regulation of Interstate commerce in liquors be tween the States? -- ™ Mr. Justice Brown recorded a vigo rous dissent, saving: "Tho effect of the enactutentof the Wilson law seems to me to withdraw Intoxicating liquors from the operation of the commerce eiattsa of the constitution and to per mit the traffic in them to be regulaUd n such a manner as the several States, Tillman ami lit) on the Disnensaiy Case.

And no sooner was the party fairly at the chapel than there drove to Ae colo nel’s door the old colonel, and two soldiers assisted to slight and led to tbe doorway the soldierly form of Captain Lrale, his eyes still covered by thn deep green shade. It was Helen Daunton’r hand that guided him into the lately crowded parlor, and he knew tho touch and thrilled"with the joy of it. ‘‘Helen 1” he cried. "They told me all were gone. What ublessed welcome! I've been so long lA exile!

The band had just ceased the joyous march with which it had "trooped" tho wed ding party into the chapel, and then, as thongh in accompaniment to the cere mony just beginning and to the sweet romance already throbbing here, the ex quisite strains of the "Traumerei” softly thrilled'tapon the fragraut air. "Helen I" he spoke, his deep voice trembliug, as, did the baud that still clung to hers. "You know that for me Ae lights went out before ever Aat powder flash crossed ipy eyes."

If a SAto cannot prohibit her own citizen* from importing liquors. a« well as buying them at borne, the ‘Wilson bill' is set at naught and tbe prohibitory laws of tbe several SAtes rendered inoperative in a vlAl parti cular. The fact that these liquors were imported for complainant's own use *ud egoeumptiob, instead of for sale, raises no question under the Federal constitution. Both are under the ban of the statute. I am unable to see how that section of tho dispensary act of South Caro lina, which authorized the seizure made in this case, conflicts in any par ticular with the Federal constltutiou.” Senator Tillman is highly pleas ed with the opinion. He as Governor of the State was responsible for the Dispensary law, and has been very mucb interested in the result of tbe litiga tion over the law.MIe says Jhe opin ion delivered does not affect the merits of the law as a whole, and that the part covered, applying as it does only to the interstate commerce fea ture of the law, really makes the law In its application A the State stronger than it was before.
