A gen tl man passing:' by happened to look in her direction, "and Letty, catch- ',ing his eyes turned upon her; blushed to the roots of hdr goldetf hair. "Jake, Jake!" called; she, to a labor er who happened to bo; pear ; "do you know'who that stranger! is? He passes here every (lay."; i Jake jerked up bis shaggy head and stretched his neck in the direction tak en by the stranger. -i i: - .,-Hj4ftfrylM,prw?6 s-- f mg at the hotel up in ,. the town said Jake setting himself to his work again. "The who, Jake?" I "Why. the city sharper the blackleg, or gambler, if you likes that name bet ter, Miss Letty." j j "That handsome man with the bcau tiful eyes and Grecian profile, a gam bler. I don't believe a word of it;" was Letty's emphatic mental comment. : "Wouldn't it be nice to have him .fall in love with me ?'' mused .Le! ty. "It would j be so romantic. Now,; ""there's Charlie Herbert botharing me night, noon and morning, to be his wife ; but T won't say yes-'-I won't As if I want- ed to marry one I have known all my j lifetime. Uch ! not a .bit of romance about'it." j "Letty, I am coming for your final answer; to-morrow morning,'' said a man-r ly-vi3ie, and a hand stroked Letty's gol den hair. - . "Botheration ! I have pricked my finger,'? said Letty without lo iking up. ."And if your answer isn't ye, I am going way, lietty." "Ohi! what a relief that will be," said Letty. ! "Charlie, I think tlat staranger down at the hotel is mh love with me. Every time he passes . jhere. he looks at me so, with those great eyes of his." ;J "Letty, do talk as if you had Com mon sense," said Charlie, reddening. am talking common seii.se ; you are only jsalous, sir." 'Xdt u bit of it, Letty," ,and st'op iiig down Charlie took the pretty Fac. between his palpi's and kissed ir.

" . . ... . bue t.ild.ed her work and laid it on her lap, and leaning back against the trunk! of the tree behind lien, thoughts wandered off -ajcairf or her the haudisome stranger j . How did he come so quickly? Letty could, upon j scarcely, tell. Events crowded her, and all seemed confusion. She had a vague idea of going to the town one day, aiid being nearly run over, but for the bravery of a gentleman who sprang to her assistance. And, oh ! how her heart beat with I delight, when she recognized in her rescurer, the hand some stranger, the possessor of the eyes and the Grecian profile. Surely the romance she had longed for jis at hand. ! And now the stranger was a stranger no loitger. Letty was engaged, and so short a tim.; Letty could scarce' real iza it. How romantic it all was. IIow delightful it would: be only for that Charlie Herbert. lie wasn't a bit jeal ous and ; romantic. ; Letty felt grieved -because the green- eyed ; monster hadn't full possession of him.: He- seemed . perfectly indifferent to all that was gonig on. Her wedding day arrived, and Char lie even came to church to see her mar ried.; He was looking at her now, pity in his clear, brown eyes. Oh, how - heartlessly she had treated nim; nanie. wuo had loved her since she could remember How she looked - f -. j - to rush fro n the side of her intended husband, and ask Charlie's forgiveness, but too late, the minister was saying the words, and but what meant the comoio tion at the door? I In another instant, a woman, followed J. - -'i j ' - i T by three childre n, rushed widly in their inidstj veciferating in broken Euglidh and waving .a faded certificate in the minstars face. . f 1 "Zat man is my ' husband ze chil dren's papa" she cried. Letty, shrank back in terror.. Once she looked up. at the man who was i so soonito be ler husband, and oh, how ter ribly wicked were the beautiful eyes, as with an eath1 he sprang from her side and was off before - anybody could prevent dura. ; . I xnere was. an awtui contusion, a gen Alone ? No, not quite, for there stood Charlie" Charlie looking at; her with pitying brown eyes. T Oh, if she could only free herself frsm the terrible oppression that was weigh ing her dowo. :JIf she could : only call his name. She tried, but iti vain, her lhs refused to utter it. ITis eyes were upon her, bat he was moving fast away, and soon "she would lose him forever; ' ' f One more desperate . effort, pnd she cried in wild despair.' "Charlie B Charlie ! come' back j I , ; "Letty IXetty, what ails yoti?'' Char lie's, pleisant voice sounded in iher ears, and his hand shooBT her gently ty jHha arm. ' 0, Charlie is it you?" and Letty rubbed her eyes th it were wet. wit'.i tears. ; "Of course it is T. How came you to fall asleep out here under the" trees, Letty? Ycur jiuther insitell on my staying to .tea, and when ycu did not make your appearance, I; thought I wouhr-see what detained yoU. and I ' gat here just in tirtie to heir you call iny name.. You surely must hr.ve been dreaming Liitty?'' " ' ) ' "Oli, I am so very glad it was all a dream," and Lett drew a long breath. "Charlie, I told you you needn't com back for tint answer to-morrow morning didn't l?" f . 4 'Yes, Letty.'.' "Well, I meant it too ; you need ' not." ' ;' ;. . '. ! "Letty!" and Charlie looked down upon her with a grieved expression. ; "No, you needn't come to-morrow, -Charlie, for I'll say y.es to what you asked me now.'' "Letty ..you're an angel," and Charlie clasped her in his arms. ''So you have nade up your mind to take oq without the romance, Letty," said Charlie, with a laugh as they walked towards the house. " ' ' Le'ty thought of her horrible d ream an 1 at swered, "I hae romance." ; j But she didn't tell bin the reason why.' -: r - ' ' : 7 I It is iieered by the Tinie'.s '''that 'he Attornev-ficneral sent for IM'rtric'l At- - - - tomy 4'3'er ! to -coine to." W aslnnton. Col. Dver went While in Washington Mr, I'ienvpontjjan a plei that it wa v.'ry important,-' and even necessary; that le, as head of the Department of J us- tice, should know what the prosecution would be in the ' Habcock case;' obtained from him a detailed statement of all the oral testimony against Gen. B.ibcoek, the whole plan of the prosecution, what le intended to prove by each witness, the order in which he. intended to pre sent the ev'dence, &c. ; ! ,This ; information, it is alleged,- Mr. Piorrepont made over to the use of Gen. Habcock's counsel, and with the Presi dent's consent. Mr. Storrs, the senior counsel for Gen. Bubcock re'maiued in Washington, J and whatever Mr Pierre- pont obtait.ei from Col. Dyer, in regard to the case, he first repeated to the President, and after consul taiion' with him, Mr. t'torrs got the i benefit of nil lie had learned.; The, Attorney General's .private office was the I place where the plans, to defeat the Govern ment in its case were matured. It is also asserted that while Mr. Picrrepont was at the outset very' ear nest in prosecuting the whiskey dling, believing it woTd redound to his credit as chief law officer of the Government, he soon found tb. it he was ovcrshailow'ed by Secretary Kris' aw, the people and prosecuting ofiiccrs giving that gentle man cred t ; fir every blow struck against' the Ring. This filled Mr. Pier- repont with envy. He became jealous of Mr. Bristow's popularity, and joined hsiirt and soul with the Grant faction and anti-Bristow combinition. ; This gave him a firm hold on the ' rpgard of the President, and enabled him to aid in defeating; Mr. Bristow's plms. and ihtiSiWeaken him athrng the people; and with the Administration. The ;Times gives an explanation why Solicitor Wil son did not warn the St. Louis prosecu tion by saying, that he was anxious to convict the Chicago Ring, to the prepa ration of the, ca?es against which he had devoted several months time. He knew that great pressure was being brought to secure his removal, and wished to avoid it until (he Chicago Ring leaders were convicted.
