SECOND SIGHT.
"Aha!" thought the jealous wife.
"Now let Algernon look me in the ry»
and deny knowing Jennie if he dares!"
Of course If she had found him li<
would hare done so, for he wits it con-
sistent man, who having said a thine
would stick to it Furthermore, in thi*
particular instance he would have be* n
right. for the tattler was at fault in
naming him. But he wits not destined
to be put to the test that day. Instead
at him Mrs WaRstaff found another
woman and charitably said to herself:
"Poor Mrs. Thimberly! How she, too,
is deceived!" That this lady might be
she did not occur to her. In fact, her
mind was so full of Jennies that
there wss temporarily no room in it for
tamer lmaginingaor interest in less rep-
rehensible personalities. Since this ladr
AM not fit the description given of the
young person who dined abroad with
her husband, Mrs. Wagstaff had no con-
cern as to who she might be. So, after
a moment's embarrassed pause at the
► turned npon her heel, told the
ofBce boy she would "return late r" and
disappeared. She was gone before Al-
gernon's wife had sufficiently repressed
her indignation to determine whether
to address her as Cuddles and wreck
hsr then and there or wait until by fair
speech she should have entrapped "the
creature" into some self betruyal.
Just then Flossy's mind's eye caught
a glimpse of Algernon as he was at that
moment In a large room, where other
men were standing about as if they had
arisen from scats at a big table, he was
earnestly talking, a little apart front the
rest, with a tall, jolly lookinK man,
who laughed, and, receiving a packa^i
from Algernon, dropped it carelessly in
one of the pockets of the light overcoat
he carried on his arm. "Oh, the can-
ning of the wretch!" exclaimed Flossy.
"He is giving Cuddles' letters to n
friend to keep for him I"
In a short time thereafter Mr. Thim-
berly returned his office accompa
nied by the tall, jolly looking gentle-
whom he introduced as Mr. Wag-
They were eagerly discussing
business—something about a railroad
consolidation. Mr. Wagstaff threw his
overcoat upon a chair and sat by Mr.
Thimberly's desk, talking with him
and making penciled calculations. Both
men were very busy. Mrs. Thimberly,
sitting by the window, recognized that
She did more. In a yawning
of it she saw the end of that
package of letters. It fascinated her, and
her fingers twitched with longing to |
clutch it Presently the two gentlemeu
went out bareheaded to lay a proposi- |
tiqp before some other man in another
office on the same floor.
In a sscond after the door closed be-
hind them Flossy had the package.
With nervous haste, she tore it open to
•*k» atirn ahe ha/1 the nroofit she
sought. The first letter at which she
glanced began, "Big lump of sweet-
•ess," which meant Algernon, of
coarse, and was signed, "Your own lov-
ing Cuddles." That settled it. She put
the incriminating missives in her pock-
el and hastily .n ibbled upon the mem-
orandum pad on her husband's desk:
"| have gone to my mother's. You need
not follow me."
CHAPTER IV.
One oonld have known by the thump-
ing of her little heels in the marble cov-
rldor as she went away that she was
furious. "He cannot have Cuddles and
me too," ahe said to herself indignant
It SS she marched out of the elevator at
tne ground floor. In her excitement she
took the first public vehicle that pre-
sented itself to her sight, a Broadway
cable oar, which was not as she reflect-
ed when well under way, the quickest
way of reaching her mother's house,
which was very far np town. "But
then," the idea occurred to her, "I can
get off at Union square, match that
piece of silk and take the elevated at
Fourteenth street'' Doubt less there may
be in life situations of such intense, all
absorbing concern to a woman that in
them she will not think of dress, but
they must be few, and the present was
evidently not such a one to Flossy. It
is not indeed, impossible that she
fooad shopping a consolatory diversion
for the time being. That it was not
• paramount consideration in
bf
"h'/iat were mom wning to do with that
pluto/r
was against her shoulder tall and jolly
Mr. Wagstaff. Accompanying him iukI
in animated conversation was a showily
dressed young woman, whose eyebrows
were dark and hair golden. Fearing to
lie recognized by the gentleman and ac-
cused of abstracting the package of let-
ters from his pocket, Mrs. Thimberly
drew down her veil. This did not, how-
ever, prevent her hearing very clearly
the artificial blond, who spoke in a
sharp, high keyed voice, and her com-
panion, who talked loud, as became one
who had nothing to conceal. Yet they
were discussing the loss of those letters.
"Really," said the gentleman, "I lost
them. I give yon my word I did. I had
them in my overcoat i>ocket, intending
give them hack to you this evening,
as you requested, nnd they must have
dropped out in the Cafe Savarin or on
the street somewhere, its I carried the
coat on my arm.' *
"But you wrote me your friend Lim-
brrly had them."
"Not Limberly; Thimberly. So he
did, but gave them buck to me this aft-
ernoon. Called them 'incendiary,' and
said he didn't want them around."
"Oh, well, I suppose it don't matter!
Whoever finds them will be none the
wiser as to their writer or receiver."
"Not unless yon are better known as
Cuddles than I have imagined."
"I'd box your cats if we were not in
the car. Much more likely you will lie
identified as Lump of Sweetness or Pop-
sy Wopsy or Baby if some woman finds
' them."
I "Oh, no! Baby at least is of nnilti-
I tudinotis application. Kvery fellow has
! some one who calls him Baby."
They laughed, not because there was
anything to laugh at, but in sheer exu-
i beraneo of spirits, as the innocently
happy laugh, but Mrs. Thimberly flush-
ed and shuddered, n.t lit ally registering
a vow neve r to call Algernon pet names
j any more.
"That new code of yours worked to a
j charm," resumed Cuddles, "and it was
awfully fanny to see the triumph in old
* Morgan's sour face when he told me.
j He doesn't like me, even a little bit,
yon know, and it did him such good to
, tell mo you were in the country and
j wouldn't be back for a month"—
"Little suspecting it meant that I
1 would meet yon at the usual place and
time this evening."
Again they laught d merrily.
The train neared the station at which
Mrs. Thimbtily would hav* left it if
I she had been goin^ home instead of to
her mother's. And—she haul changed
her mind. Rising as the cars slackened
i speed, she leaned o- er the couple in the
j cross seat ami dropped the package of
I letters in the girl's lap, saying, "Per
j mit me to return Cuddles' letters." A1
j ready her back was turned when they
I looked up. In a few seconds she was
j out of the car and on her way home,
full of joy over her restored confidence
in Algernon's honesty and truth. It is
! true the memory of the "bahy eyed
woman who pawed him" and said sh«
! would "return later" did recur to her,
but in her improved and happier state
of mind only as a stimulant to curiosity
j which her husband would no doubt
i fully satisfy. Yet in the midst of her
] regained happiness a cloud of anxiety
! swept across her mental horizon.
"What," she usked herself, "must have
been the dear, good fellow's feelings
i when he read my cold and cruel fare-
| well stnd realized that I bud left him—
gone home to my mother? Would he do
anything rash?"
Spurred by the mental excitation of
, that anxious thought the imp who sup-
plied her "second sight" again got in
j his evil work, and Flossy hud a most
appalling glimpse. She saw Algernon at
j home, seated before a table, writing a
j letter—doubtless his farewell to her—
| with a revolver lying at hiselbow. That
| it was his horrible purpose to blow out
his brains as soon as he had finished the
letter she did not doubt. The ageiuy of
that thought lent wings to her feet.
She no longer walked. She ran, she
I flew, and, reaching home, dashed in
and up stairs, where she found her hus-
band exactly as the vision had shown
hint toiler. Breathlessly she sprang for-
ward and seized the pistol, which sho
hael never l« fore imagined she wonld
dare to toncli.
"Hello I" exclaimed Algernon,' look-
ing tip with a little surprise. "Got back
already?"
She gasped and panted. "What are
you writing? What were yon going to
do with that pisteil?"
"Brother Bill has written from Batts
asking me to send him a good revolver.
It seems to bo style out there to wear
'em. I have no use for mine, so I'm go-
ing to let him have it and was writing
to tell him "
"And you were not going to shoot
yourself?"
"Well, I rather gaess not Why
should I?"
"And that letter is not really an eter-
nal farewell to me?"
"A farewell to you—when I expected
you bark from your mother's in time
for dinner?"
"Oh, Algy," she cried, her eyes fill-
ing with tears of happiness, "I've been
such a fool." Then she went on and
told him all about it and was duly
penitent and full of promises that she
would never suspect him, never be jeal-
ous, and never trust her "second sight"
any more.

her people.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro population of the
state is small compared to other
southern states and the 4'race
problem" cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominating.
laws.
The laws of Texas are made for
her own people and are the most
liberal, equitable and just any-
where.
homestead laws
Arc the most liberal, and her col-
lection laws the most lenient to be
found in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
family a guarantee against waste-
ful extravagance and bad manage
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the state
throws around a family:
J <lArt. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
be its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of tho
personal property of all heads of
families, and also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
TAXATION
Is light, our state ad valorum tai
is now 20 cents on the §100, and
our state school tax is 18 cent^
on the §100. County taxes do no!
often reach 50 cents on the §100.
land.
Improved lands are worth from
§10 to §50 per acre.
Our lands produce a greater va-
riety of crops than can be found it
almost any other county. They
have the rare advantage of bring
ing both wheat and cotton crops—
something not found in manj
places.
roads.
Good roads reach into every sec-
tion of the county and substantial
bridges span all streams.
education.
We have ninety public schools
in the county outside the city of
Gainesville—eighty-six white and
four colored. These schools run
on an average of six month [each
year.
4'Sec. 50.—The homestead of a
family shall be and is hereby pro-
tected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for the
purchase of money, the taxes due
thereon, or for work and materia!
used in constructing improve'
ments thereon, and in this last
case only when the work and ma-
terial are contracted for in writ-
ting, with the consent of the wife
given in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; noi
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law.
44No mortgage trust, deed or
other lien on the homestead shall
ever be valid, except for the pur-
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon as hereinbe-
fore provided, whether such mort-
gage or trust deed or other lien
shall have been created by the hus-
band alone or together with his
wife; and all pretended sales of
the homestead involving any con-
dition of defeasance shall be void.
"Sec. 51. The homestead nat in a
town or city, shall consist of not
more than 200 acres of land, which
may be in one or more parcels,
with" the improvements thereon;
the homestead in a city, town or
village shall consist of a lot or
lots not to exceed in value $5000
at the time of their designation as
a homestead without reference to
the value of any improvements
thereon. ••••>»
the wages
of the laboring man, whether mar-
ried or not, are as sacred as the
household.
Section 28 of Art. 16 of the con-
stitution reads: <4No current
wages for personal service shall
ever be subject to garnishment."
The statutes exempt the follow-
ing personal property from forced
sale:
