Mr. Carleen was a I'VcDchinan, betray ing his nationality in the pronunciation ol' the score or uioro Knlish words he had picked up on the road from Xew Oilcans to the prairies of the L ine Star Slate. When he appeared for the lirsl lime iu i ha street ol the little frontier village where be id'ierwards became mi well known, he was dressed as a common laborer, sin.ikiiij; a short pipe and carried a sioul stick. The cowboys lounged about the Hrindle Steer Saloon sized him up and rendered a verdict that a j.'ood average j di of sheepdicrilinj.' would just alinut lit the degree of teiiderl'eoledni'ss that was tiiauilcsted iu his language, uimutraad carriage. Altera few uio uienis' conversation the winks that were exchauoed between the loungers indica ted the superior satisfaction that they expeiienced over the correctness of iheir jiidi!iii"rit, but their orpins of vi. ion were suddenly expandulheyond all capacity, h r the newcoiui r, wirh liille ceremony and words, invited the whole crowd to refresh themselves at the bar of the Hrindle Steer. He did not want a j ib ol lien'- ing sheep, and he heati to nsk questions as to wages and about the price of lamhs and ews and t im, while the bar keeper was giving biniehani;e fir the yellow douhliniti that he had selected from a handful of loose coins to pay for the drinks. Setnelhin;; like respectfulness on the part of the crowd toward the stranger, which had succeeded the curios ity be bad aroused grew into admiration when Mr. Carleen accidentally dropped a silver-mounted revolver from bis coil pocket and carelessly picked it up with the indifference of au uld plaintnan. All were apparently eager to answer his ques tions and grant him information upon every subject with such prompt ness and pleasure as to please the Frenchman iiu uimscly.

While everything about him appeared to he shrouted iu mystery, he acted as if he had nothing to conceal' llcapiiearcd to live lor the purpose of astounding and mystifying those who were Watchiii'.' him. Iu the course of eight ur teu days the news came to town that the mysterious Frenchman, after a few days' herding, had cxpre.sed himself us being tired of following the II n k Cor wages. He had purchased 1 0,11110 head of she. p and paid lor I hem in uood San Antonio paper, so the story ran. Next lie bought the famous I, is Floretas grant, and soon nflerward Mr. Carleen came to town, confirming all these stories and making nirangcmciiis to put a barbed wire fence around one of I he largest pas tures in western Texas. Could it he possible that the man was g"ing to actu ally feucelj 1,00(1 acres of land? This happened hack in the early "D's, before the cattle kings ami big syndicates began to string barbed wire ar"Und whole coun ties Tl.c Frenchman spent the night iu lienaidiiile, and long below sunrise on the next morning he was un his road to San Antonio, accompanied hy hall a loz.-n cowboys, driving a herd of ponies in front of them. Teu days afterward a traveler reported on the San Saba that no army was mov- aeross the prairies of western Texas. It was an army, but au nruiy of laborers, toueinasons, carpenters, painters, tna- hinists mid teamsters. The Frenchman was returning with 00 teams and more thau 500 people. Menatdulle went on a boom, uudthc L is Floretas ranch, uuly ouly ten miles away, presented a scene of hustle and activity which made the ua livcs stare iu wonder and amazement. Mr. Carleen had leased hundreds uud thousands of square miles of grazing lands, and around all this vast scope of country ho began to erect a wire fenc. Hn in stantly broke ground for the purpose of slahlishing a home place on the hanks ftheSan Saba. Hundreds of laborers were set to work quarrying rock, while ither huinlieds were enquired in diusiinu or the foundation of his house. It took lim two years to complete this immense truelure. It covers at least a half an acre uf ground, am is five stories high. nd altogether one of the most beautiful and asiiiundiiiir pieces of architecture in America to-day The walls are ol pure while marble, while reat columns of bluish granite support a magnificent porch xtending around two sides of the entire structure. Artists came trom l ans to Xert their skill on the ceiling and walls. During the time that he was building the place away out Ipto on the frontier of Texas, Caileen never said a Wold of his family, or, for that matter, a word ol bis owu history. His tongue ran like a bell-clapper on ail subjects but one, and that one was Carleen. His agents had purchased cattle all over eastern Texas, and as a consequence at the end of a year or more his immense estate was well stocked. At that lime he wus regarded as one of the greatest cattleiucti on the thinner. The strange man did n it limit his n- traordiuary improveuicnis to the palace that he erected. He kept a large force his qiianiis, and a li tie army of uia- -ous w.ie employed I. r several years iu buildiug long lines of stone fences. Tin se struct ures were not erected all. t the man- r nC such old tumble-down affairs as one otiiu sees iu some ol the older s'ntes. The walls were id solid dressed stone. lid there were great stone pillars around the entablature, ou which were traiiiug vines, clustt is of grapes and festoons ol flowers, exhibiting iu the highest style ol ill and skill of the sculptor, lletwei u ihese pillars swung massive iron gates. I'liese arc not yit ruins, hut here on tile wild hills ol Sail Saba, where wolves bowl at night and deer sleep beneath the shade of oaks, miles aud miles of these maouifi cent walls may be seen winding over the uudulaliug prairies and through the green valleys, while up there ou the mountain slamls white against the wis. ter sky that gi.antlc pile of stout) and mortar, of which un man can say whellur it is a uionumeut tothe genius or folly of the I'retichni'in t r n. II.. was certainly a great advantage to this par ticulai part of Texas. He biougbt au abundance of money into the country and he gave thousands of people employ ment. As l.dig as he prosecuted lib gigantic schemes this was the most pros perous portion ol Hie Slate At one mi l moro than 1 HIMI people were employed upon the ranch. He kept the road open to San Antonio, a dislauee of nearly 1100 miles, and relays of homes were estah lished every ten or fifteen miles. II had a daily mail, and the rad was fi led with teams hiuliog supplies and nia-hiu cry to the lamous ranch, ( anion wis very fond of the society of educated men and accomplished women, and for a long time the big ranch house, which he called the palace of St. Cloud, was crowded with people who appeared to be there in search til D'easure tu the exclusion ol everything else. lie had been pursuing his strange ca reer about seven years, living like a Monte Christu and cxciiing the wonder of all Western Texas, as if he were a Caglioslr i iu league willi the devil, when one rainy evening, just before Christmas, a lady descended from the overland rtage in Menardville, This woman carried u crucifix in one hand and u liible in the other. She inquired for Carleen, and then asked for a room iu which she might appeal to (iod undisturbed On the next day she went to tho palace of St. Cloud, and as she entered one gate Carleen went out of the oilier, lie never stopped until he was safely en sconced inside of the White Klepliant in San Antonio, He never denied that the little woman was his wife, but that there was was some terrible secret be tween thetn which nearly congealed the man's blood every time he thought ol it, aud made the woman's face repulsive to hitu, was beyond question. Ho at once plunged into the wildest kind of dissipa tion, aud his best riders aud fastest ponies were kept busy for two weeks bearing j messages between San Antonio and the ranch. At length such mysterious affairs as existed between the two people wore arranged iu some way, and the little wo man returned to Galveston and sailed for KtiropB. still muttering prayer and carry ing her crucifix in ouo band and her Bible in tho other. From this time on to the end of his career in Texas Carleen was never the same man. He evidently labored day and night to drive something from his mind. The groat house was crowded with people wlu were bent upon pleasure alone aud strange rumors circu lated as to games of cards where not only millions, but beautiful women were lost and won. Carleen began to givo away money. He made one of his neighbors a pres ent of a large pasture and a fine herd of cows. To another he gave a large baud of graded polled Angus steers. To a favorite cowboy he gave a whole drove of fine horses, and at the feet of a beautiful singer from San Antonio be threw a check for $100,000 in gold. The ilaugh terof a gamekeeper who handed him a cup of water from one of hisovvu springs he rewarded willi a baud ol sheep. He attended a school exhibition, and at the close of the exercises he presented each and every one of the little boy s aud girls with a check for 8,.,000. During the flondtide of his prosperity he had slocked a line park of several hundred acres with the rarest specimens of wild animals from every known not k and corner of the globe Ouo day, just before the final crash, when the French man was in a particular hilarious uiooil, he mounted his horse and invited every one about his house and in the country to help him slay these zmlogioal speci up'iis. His guests, heated with wine, and his cowboys, always eager lor a frolic were of course, ready fur such fine sport The slaughter la-ted three whole days. Klephanis, lions, tigers and leopards were huuied down and shot with Winchesters to the music of hounds and the blast of horns. Deer, antelope aud rale birds were spared, and after the royal spoit was ended the gates of the park were thrown open an I iheso animals allowed to ruo wild. There were plenty of peo pb who believed that the mysterious sp-Midihrifi had found Bowie's famous lost silver mines of the San Saba. Others th night lb a' ho was s.me Kuropeati prince who bad inherited a limitless for tune and there were uthers who insisted that the man was cipable ol convcrtine. the baser metals iuto gold, or else In bad been a great pirale or an old world bauk robber. Toward the end the people did not care to be intimate with the strange mau, though hundreds were indebted to his liheiality for their fortunes. Carleen realized the situation, and one day walked oil of the great p ilaee of St. Cloud and turned his back upon the country with so liille ceremony that those who knew bin best were most astouished.

'The quickest in.iniage tic up I ever heard of," remarked the charming uud accomplished Xew York drummer In a crowd of ordinary drummers, "look place on a li.illiiii ire and Ohio train iu the state of West Virginia about three years ago, and I was a witness to it. I was coming through from the west, and some, where in the neighborhood of Deer l'ark a very comely and whulcsomo looking mountain woman got aboard. She was, I should judge, ubout 40 years old an I bad every appearance of thrift and widowhood in a long established con dition. She had with her a boy of ub oil 11, who was her son. Shu was garrulous and friendly, as some wumen soinetiims are, and it wasu't long until she was asking me all manner of questions. She was talking along at 10 miles an hour, and at one of the stations about 20 tniii s west of Cumberland a man, who would have been considered an excellent match for the women, came in and sat down across the aisle from the lady and myself. I thought at first he was going to mingle in the conversation, but he did not, (hough he listened to the women as if she were an angel speaking out of I lie clouds. "Naturally the woman doesu't live who could stand that sort of silent adoration business, aud it was not long un til she was really talking across the aisle to the newcomer, though she was apparently still talking to me. Just as tho whistle sounded for Cumberland I he man arose and came nver to ih, stopping, with his bands resting on the back i I'lhe seat the women occupied and on the biu-k of mine. ' 'Excuse me, ma'am,' be said, loud enough to bo board above the noise ul the train, so there might be no mistake. 'hut what might your name be?' " 'Well,' she responded p rtly and with a blush of siuie inner consciousness of what was in the mind 'it the man, 'i' might bethe stme as your'u, I roi-kon, but I s'puso it aiii't.' ' 'Why ain't il? 'he inquired nerv ously. "It was the oddest perl' orunine i I had ever witness 'd, and tho dead earnestness in the voices and manner of both the strangers impressed me so that I turned fully around to hear what the women would reply to this apparently, not to say silly, question. " 'Indeed I'm sure I don't know,' she said, looking him square in the eyes, 'but I reckon it ain't 'cause you never asked me to. ' Thereupon he usked her to, plu i p and without any circumlocutiou, aud she accepted him, even before she knew what her name was to he and before he knew what name she was giving up fur his Before llio preliminaries were concluded the train had stopped at the station, aud with a short goodhy to tue they hurried away up town to find a preacher to ti ; the knot thus strangely and quickly tangled en tho train " Washington Star. l oll l) l.lt I II-I V 1 U.IKS Mrs. Winslow's Soothinir Syrup has been used lor over tit r v years by millions ol mothers lnr children, while teething, with perfect success.

Wo are continually coming up to doors which stand open for a little while and then are shut. An artist has died to ti aeh this in a picture: Father Time is there with inverted hour-glass. A young man is lying at his ease on a luxurious couch, while beside him is a table spread with rich fruits aud viands. I'a-sing by hitu toward an open door are certain ligims which represent opportunities; they come tn invito the young man to nobleness, tu manliness, to usefulness, to worth. Fiit is a rugged, sun browned fiirin carrying a flail. This is labor, lie invites the y .iith to t, p. Ho has al ready passed far by unheeded. Next i the philosopher, with open book, invi- ing the yniing man to thought and ludy, that he may master the s. orets in the mystic volume. But this opportuni ty, tun, is disregarded. The youth has no desire for learning, Close behind the philosopher comes a woman with bowed form, carrying il child. 1 1 . r dress be tokens widowhood; arid poverty, ller hand is strcichcd out uppealingly. She ciavi s charily. Looking closely at the picture, we see that the young man hold.' money in his hand. But he is clasping il tightly, uud the poor widow's ploadiug is iu vain. Still another figure passes, endeavoring to lure and woo from his idle ease. It is the form of a beautiful woman, who seeks by love to awaken in him iiuble purposes Worthy of his powers, aud to inspire for ambitious efforts. One hy one these opportunities have passed, with their calls and invitations only to he unheeded. At last be is arousing lo seize them, but it is too late; they are vanishing from sight and the door is ch'sing. This is a true picture of what is going on all the time in this world. Opportunities come to every person, of fering beautiful things, rich blessings, brilliant hopes. Too ol'len, however, these i fficcrs and so.ieitatiotis are rejected and one by one pass by, tu return no more. Dour after dour is shut, and at last men .stand at the end of their days, with beggared lives, having missed ail that they might have gotten of enrich ment and good froni tho passing days. WOMAN AMI TUP: HOMIv. Woman iu her weakness is yet the strongest fetce upon the earth. She is the helm of all things humau;she comes in many shapes and knocks at many doors; she is quick and patient, and her passion is not ungovernable, like that of a man, but as a gentle steed that she can guide e'en where she will, and as occasion oilers can now hit up aud give leiu. She has a captain's eyo and stout must be that fortress of the heart in which she finds no place of vantage. D ies thy blood beat fast iu youth? She will out run it. Are thou set tovvald ambition? She will unlock thy inner heart and show tin e mads that lead to glory. Art thou worn and weary? She has comfort in her breast. Art thou fallen? She can lift thee up, and to the ulii-iou of thy sense gild defeat willi triumph. Aye, she can do these things, for nature even fights up in her side And thus woman rules the world. For her men spend their siiength in gathering gains; for ln r they do well ai d ill and seek for great ness to find oblivion. But she still mis like youder sphiux and smiles; and no man has ever read all the riddle ol lnr smile or known all tho mystery of lit r heart. He must be great, indeed, who call defy the power ol woman, whieh, pressing round him like the invisible air, is often strongest when the senses least discover it .Christian Work. vx ori s irr.
