Texas mi ans "welcome ;" and that on
the lauding- of the first white men on
Ihe coast of Texas, the Indians prected
them with Ihe I'Xclaii; tli'.n of ''Texas!"
or "welcome."
This theory, accotdiiip to a correspond
ent in the Texas uriru, rtn is not cor
. i l. In Ihe am lent Spani-h archives,
stored away in the land office at Austin,
it appears thai certain lauds were situ
aletl "i u i I pais tie his Tejas," or ill the
country of the Texas, or Tejas Indians,
x ami j beinp pronounced alike.
It is well known that the Texas ot
Tejas Indians were a tribe or Indians liv
ing in the valley of the Km tiraiide, who
were exterminated or driven off by
more savapc tribe. The word Texas or
Tejas is the root of the names of all the
Indian tribes in Texas ami Mexico. The
prefix indicated the locality of the tribe.
The As-Tcjas, or Atecs, dwelt on high
lands of Auahiiac. The Tol-Tejas m
Toltet s, lived as far south as Yucatan.
The Unas Tejas livi d on the Gulf coast,
between Matanioras ami Vera Cruz, and !
the Tol Tejas were located in Ihe state
of Ciialiuela. Ttfii Sij'tiiiiju.

THE WRONG MAN.
"Ah," said Mrs, Frodpitt, "thinps
have clumped since my day. When 1
was a i;irl. folks u-ed to stay at home and
help their in- tin rs do the housework,
ind piece li. ihpiilts, and embroider lace
veil-, instead of riiiininp about in all the
dirty ntieit . and narrow lanes in crea
tion !"
Mrs. I'rotlpiti tlid not take kindly to
modem civilization.
Sin- luul conn-up from Owl Drunk to
visit her cousin Man- Ann, who had
married Kbeiie.cr Manly a tpuirter of a
century ai'o ami settled clown in New
York; and, as she cxprcssi-il herself,
"thinps seemed to be all turned topsy
turvy." Hut, Cousin I'rodpy," mid saucy,
Millie Hardy, who was eipiippinp her
self with basket, hag, parasol and water
proof cloak, "it is a work of mercy and
charity that we arc enpaped in."
"Nonsense!" irritably cried Mrs. I'rod
pitt. "I think you've all pone crazy to
pether! I'm surprised at you, Mary Ann,
to let the child po tramping- all over the
city by herself. In mv day it wasn't
considered respec table."
"You say truly that times have c hanged
siin e then," mildly uttered Mis. Hardy,
who xvas knitting fleecy wool by (he (ire.
"He sure, llattie, that you come early.
The new minister is to In here to-nipht
to tea, and fT-tsey can't be trusted with
the new set of moss rose china."
"I wonder what he is like!" said llat
tie, as she t ietl the deep blue strings of
her hut into a coipiettish how under her
round chin. "I do hope he's young ami
handsome."
"My dear!" remonstrated Mrs. Prod
pdtl. "Of course," added llattie, "we knew
that old Mr. Piizzhton was a perfect
saint; but one don't like saints with red
noses and spectacles ami three layers of
double chin !"
Mrs. Prodpilt looked as if she expect
ed that llattie xvould be struck by lipht
ninp on the spot for that heretical re
mark. "Harriet!" was all that she could utter.
While Mrs. Hardy, more accustomed
to the audacious speeches of her pretty
daughter, went on in her purring, sing
Mnp tones:
"Don't forpet that poor widow in Cob
lane, llattie. And if you go to Mi In
Heneau's, I think it would he well to
speak a word in season to that great lazy
son of his, who is always buying lottery
tickets, nnd does nothing to support the
old folks."
"Oh, yes! I'm glad you mentioned
that," said llattie, penciling an entry on
her little tablets. '"Mem to give Jonas
Reneau a piece of my mind.' Dear Mr.
Puvlcton always said that that young
man was a dreadful stumbling block !"
"And I think." went on Mrs. Hardy,
"that the Oray "sisters can find work for
Alice Jeiininps now, if she is still unem
ployed." "The which i" said Mr. Prodgitt.
"The Oray sisters," explained Mrs.
Hardy. "One of our church organiza
tions."
Mrs. Prodpitt glared.
"Is there any end of the fully and non
sense of the present pener itinn !" said she.
"I suppose," lailihetl llattie, "that in
your day, Cousin Prodpy, nobody went
slumming;"
"Went where!" said Mis, prodpitt.
"Slumming!" ilislinctlv repeated llat
tie. "She means vis'itinp the poor ami ei k
inp out cases of destitution," explained
Mrs. Hardy. "llattie my , ,i,l, I ,1,.
xvish you wouldn't talk -lanp. "
llattie ili-apHiired with a Utile breeze
of laughter, while Mrs. Prodpitt resettled
her spectacles and uttered a tleep groan.
"Mark my words, Mary Ann," said
she, "that girl will conn- to no pood."
"llattie does not incui any harm.
Cousin Prodpitt," mildly pleaded Mrs
Hardy, as she knitted mi.
While llattie, on her errand of mercy,
we nt from house to lions., in the darkling
lanes and crowded tenement di-trn 1-s,
leavinp an oiint " of pr. en tea lu re and a
lect ire there, a bo! tie of beef, wine and

snuff in a poor old woman's hand, a pit t
lire book on the pillow of some little
child, a wooden toy in the delighted
grasp of ji skeleton like infant, a pi ntle
admonition in the cm-of a xxillful facto
ry-pirl, and a word of comfort to eiicimr-H-.ce
a despairing widow.
She could be gay mid flippant eunuch
when "Couin Prodpy" teased her, but
here -he scoin'd to have assumed a per
-onality of digiiny and weelnlss.
Old Milo H ic'iiu's was the last house
on her list. Sin- glanced iinxiou-ly at
her wati h as she went in.
"Past five." she said to herself. (

The dusk of the October evening had
already darkened t he little room, where
lay the patient old sufferer from rheiiin-i
tisin. It was always neal ami i lean there,
but in llatlie's eyes it seemed more s.pia

nipht. As she came around thi- corner
of the door she perceived a young man
sitting at an uneoveri d pine table a tig
tire strongly silhouetted against the win
flow.
"Ah!" said she, the spirit of righteous
exasperation rising up in her heart. "I've
caught you at la-t in the very midst of
your evil prat lice!"
Tin- young man i - hurriedly to his
feet.
"I beg your pardon " he began ;
but tin-tide of llatiie -indignation xas
not thus easily stemmed.
"Don't beg my pardon." -aid -he;
"beg the pardon nl' society of public

a pair of clear, hom -t i M to I l it tie's

speak a word, pood, bad or indifferent.
"He's not bail looking. ' thought Hat
tie; "but I must not neglect Ihe chance
of making' an impression. I am surprised
at you!" she added aloud; "a great,

I never enter into argiuin lit w ith the pi o

She hurried to old Milo, w ho being
stone deaf, looked smilingly on during
this brief hut energetic nionolgue, as if
it had been a recitation f nun Shakespeare.
"Mere's some extract of beef for ymi,
Mr. Reneau," she shouted in his ear;
"anil a tiimhler of lemon jelly ! I hope
your lumbago is better. I'm sorry I can't
stay a little longer to day, but I'll come

And nodding and -milling pood by to

She arrived none too soon on the do

remain Prodgitt had lost her special h s
and Mrs. Hardy could not find hcrbi -t
lace frill.
Coiisecpienlly she was only half through
nrranging her hair when Mrs. Manly
called up Ihe stair-case :
"Harriet ! Harriet ! Mr. !ray has come!''
She hurriedly coiled up tin shining
bronze locks, and fastened them with a
shell-pin, tied the Swiss mii-lin bow at
her throat, and, c alching up her pocket
handkerchief, ran down-stairs.
Cousin Prodpitt was still adjust inp her
enpstrings jn her own room
Mrs. Hardy had pone down to see if
the tea was proorlv steeping; and so our
heroine walked directly into the presence
of Keverentl Cecil tiray.
"I am Miss Hardy," said she "I beg
your pardon ! but -"
Here she stopped, with the sy llables of
further speech fairly frozen on hi r tongue.
A eold chill crept through all her veins
as she recognized the curly brown hair,
the clear, honest eyes, the tUitk mustache.
Hut the Hevereml I 'ceil w as i .pi il to

test the fact for himself, for there is
nothing a goat likes so much as a mouth
