CATARR THE DAILY The Daily Bulletin. A TRAGEDY; on THE STORY OF THE CHAIN PIER. "A boatman found ft, and the bundle contained a little- drowned child a fair waxen babe, beautiful even though it bad lain in the salt, bitter waters of the green sea all night. Now cornea the horror, Mrs. Fleming. When the man who saw the scene went, after some yeara, to visit the friend whom he loved so dearly, he recognized in that friend's wife the woman who threw the child into the seal" Again came the sound that was like nothing human. "What was that man to do?" I asked. "He could not be silent; the friend who loved and trusted him must have been most basely deceived he could not hide a murder ; yet the woman was so lovely, so lovable ; she was seem ingly so good, so charitable, so devoted tolier husband, that he was puzzled, tortured; at last he resolved upon tell ing her. 1 have told ?" v Then silence, deep and awful, fell over us; it lasted until I saw that I must break it. She lay motionless on tho ground, her face buried in the grass. "What should you have done in that man's place, Mrs. Fleming?'1 1 asked. Then she raised her face; it was whiter, more despairing, more ghastly than I liad seen it on the pier. "I knew it must come," she wailed. "Oh! Heaven, how often have I dreaded this I knew from the first.'' "Then it irrw you?" I said. "It was me;" she replied. "I need not try to hide it any longer, why should I? Every leaf on every tree, every raindrop that has fallen, every wind that has whispered has told it aloud ever since. If I hide it from you someone else will start up and tell. If I deny it, then the. very stones in tho street will cry it out. Ves, it was me wretched, miserable me, the most mis erable, the most guilty woman alive it was me." My heart went out to her in fulness of pity poor unhappy woman! sobbing lier heart out; weeping, as surely no one ever wept before. I wished that Ileaven had made anyone else her judge than me. Then she sat up lacing me, and I wondered what the judge must think when the sentence of death pass es his lips.. I knew that this was the sentence of death for this woman. "Von never knew what passed after, did you?" I asked. "No not at all," was the half sullen replv "not at all." ".Did you never purchase a llrighton paper, or look into a Jxjndon paper to see?" ".No," she replied. "Then I will tell you," I said. and . I told her all that had passed. How the people had Ktnnd round the little baby, and the men cursed the cruel hands that bad drowned'the little babe. "Did they curse my hands?" she asked, and I saw her looking at them in wonder. "Yes; the men said hard words, but the women were pitiful and kind; one kissed the. little face, dried it. and kissed it with tears in her eyes. Was it your own child?" There was a long pause, a long si lence, a terrible few minutes, and then she answered: "l'es, it was my child." Her voice was full of despair; sho folded her hands and laid them on her lap. "I knew it must come," she said. "Now let me t'-y to think what I must do. I meet now that which I have dreaded so long. Oh, Lance! my love Lance! my love Lance! You will not tell him? ' she cried, turning to me with impassioned appeal. "You will not! you could not break his heart and mine! you could not kill me! Oh, for Heavens snke, say you will not tell him?" Then I found her on her knees at my feet, sobbing with passionate cries I must not till him, it would kill him. She would go away, if I said she must; she would go from the heart and the home where she had nestled in safety so long; she would die; she would do any thing if only I would not tell him. lie had loved and trusted her so she loved him so dearly. I must not tell. If I liked, she would , go to the river and throw herself in. She would give her life freely, gladly if only I would not tell him. ' So I sat holding, as it were, the pas sionate, aching heart in my hand. "You must calm yourself," I Haid. "It t talk reasonably. Wo cannot talk while you are like this." She beat her white hands together, and I could not still hercrios; they were all for "Lance!" "her love Lance!" oiaitkh xr. "You must listen to me," I said; "I Want Villi tn Kin lmu Imlu fliia lu tlw, work of I'rovidenee, and not of mere chance." I told her how I had been attracted to the pier; I told her all that was said by the crowd around; of the man who carried the little dead child to the work house; of the tiny little body that lay in its white dress in tho bare, largo, desolate room, and of the flowers that the kindly matron hud covered it with. I told her how I had taken compas sion on the forlorn, little creature, had purchased its grave, und of tho white stone with "Marah" upon it. "Marah, found drowned." And then, jtoor soul poor hapless soul, she clung to my hands and covered them with kisses and tears. "Did you did you do that?" sho moaned. "How good you aro, but you will not tell him. I was mad when 1 did. that, mad as women often are with sorrow, shame, and despair. I will Buf fer anything if you will only promise not to tell Lance." . "Do you think it is fair," I asked, "that he should bo so cruelly deceived? that he should lavish the whole love of bis heart on a murderess?" I shall never forget her. She sprang from the ground where she had been kneeling and stood erect before me. i No.tllI".lk Heaven! 1 am not that " she said: "I am everything else that 8 base and vile, but not that?' riV'fn?" "'I1' ."otJ,M I replied. ii1ih0cl,ild3iwu.u,,.,"K iuto-.tUe sea was living, not dead. V i"Jt was not living" she cried-"it was dead an hour Wore I readied there." "The doctors i sald-for there was an inquest on the .tiny bodv-they said the dilld had teen drugged More it was drowned, but that it had died from drowning. " OAIIIO BULLETIN: SUNDAY MORNING, JULY "Oh, no, a thousand times!" Bhe cried. "Oh, believe me I did not wilfully mur der my own child I did not indeed! Let nie tell you. You ore a just and merciful man, John Ford; let me tell you you shall hear my story, you shall give me my sentence I will leave it in your hands. I will tell you all." " You had bettor tell Lance, not me," I cried. "What can I do?" "No; you listen, you judge. It may be that when you have heard all, you will take pity on me; you may spare me you may say to yourself that! have been more sinned against than sinning you may think that I have suffered enough, and that I may live out the rest of my life with Lance. Let me tell you, and you shall judge me." She fell over on her knees again, rock ing backwards and forwards. "Ah, why," she cried "why is the world so unfair? why, when there is sin and sorrow, why does the punish ment fall all on tbe woman, and the man go free? I am hero in diHgrace and humiliation, in shame and sorrow in fear of losing my home, my husband, it may be even my life while lie, who was a thousand times more guilty than 1 was, is welcomed, flattered, courted! It is cruel and unjust. "I have told you." she said, "how hard my childhood was, how lonely and desolate and miserable I was with my girl's heart full of love, and no one to love. "When I was eighteen I went to live with a very wealthy family in London, the name I will not hide one detail from you the name was Cleveland; they had one littW girl, and I was Iter governess. I went with them to their place in the country, and there avisitor came to them? a handsome young no bleman, Lord Daeius by name. "It was a beautiful sunlit coiihty. I bad little to do, plenty of leisure, and he could do as he would with his time. We had met and had fallen in love with each .ilier. I did not love him, I idol ized him; remember in your judgment that no one had ever loved me. N o one had ever kissed my face and said kind words to me; and I, oh! wretched, mis erable me, I was in heaven. To be loved for the first time, and by one so handsome, so charming, so fascinating! A few weeks passed like a dream. I met him in the earlv morning, I met him in the gloaming. He swore a huii dred times a day that he would marry me when he came of age. We must wait until then. I never dreamed of harm or wrong, I believed in him im plicitly as I loved him. I believed every word that camo from his lips. May Heaven spare me! I need tell you no more. A girl of eighteen madly, passionately in love; a girl as ignorant as any girl oould be, and a handsome, experienced man of the world. "There was no hope, no chance. ' I fell; yet almost without knowing how I had fallen. You will spare me the rest I know. "When, in my sore anguish and dis tress, I went to him. I thought lie would marry me at once; I thought he would be longing only to make mo hap py again; to comfort me; to solace me; to make amends for all I had suffered. I went to him in London with my heart full of longing and love. I had left my situation, and my stern, cruel grand mother believed that I had found an other. If I lived to be a thousand years old I should never forget my horror und surprise. He had worshipped me; he had sworn a thousand times over that he would many me; he had loved mo with the ttndercst hive. "Now, when after waiting some hours, I saw him at last, he frowned at me; there was no kiss, no caress, no welcome. " 'This is a nice piece of news,' he said, 'llus comes from country vis iting.' " 'Hut you love me? you love me?' I cried. " 'I did. mv dear.' he said, 'but of course that died with Summer. Ono tloes not speak of what is dead.' "'Do you not mean to marry me?' 1 asked. 'No, certainly not; and you know that I never did. It was a Summer's amusement'1 And what is it to nw.r I asked. Oh, you must make the best of it. Of course, I will not see you want, but you must not annoy me. Ana mat old grandmother of yours, she must not be let loose upon nie. You must do the best you can. 1 will give you a hun dred pounds if you will promise not to come near mo again.' l spoke no word to him; l aid not reproach him; I did not utter his name; I did not say good-bye to him; 1 walked away. 1 leave his punishment to Heaven. Then I crushed the anguish within me and tried to look my life in tho face. I would have killed myself rather than have gone home. My grandmother had forced me to be sav ing, and in the post-olhVe Imuk 1 had nearly thirty pounds. I had a watch and cliain worth ten. I sold them, and I sold with them a small diamond ring that had been my mother's, nnd some other jewelry; altogether I realized llfty pounds. I went to tho outskirts of London and took two Bmall rooms. "I remember that I made no effort to hide my disgrace: 1 did not pretend to 1)0 married or to be a widow, and tho mistress of the house was not unkind to me. Shu liked trie all the better for telling tlio truth. I say no word to you of my mental anguish no words can describe it. but 1 loved the little one. She whs only three weeks old when a hater was forwarded to me at the ud- drcss 1 had given in Loudon, saying inai my grandmother was ill ami wished mo to go home at once, What was I to do with tho baby? I can re member how the greatdrops of anguish stood on my face, bow my hands trem bled, how my very heart went cold with dread. "Tho newspaper which I took dally, to read tho advertisements for govern esses, lay upon the table, and my eyes were caught by an advertisement from some woman living ut llrighton, who undertook the bringing up of children. 1 resolved to go down that very day. I said nothing to my landlady of my in tention. 1 merely told her that 1 was going to place the little one in very good hands, and that 1 would return for my luggage. "1 lneant.-so truly as Heaven hears riM1HI",1nllr1.l",',l,,l.l do right by my ittlo child. 1 meant to work hard to keep her in a nice home. Oh, I meant well!

I must say this much for myself, that I knew nothing whatever ot children, that is. of such little children. I had never been where there was a baby so little as my own. "I bought tho cordial, and just before I started gave the baby some. I thought that I was very careful; I meant to be so. I . would not for the whole world have given my baby one half drop too much. ' "It soon slept a calm, placid sleep, and I noticed that the little face grew paler. 'Your baby is dying,' said a woman, who was traveling in the third class carriage with nie. 'It is dying, I am sure.' 1 laughed and cried; 'it was so utterly impossible 1 thought; it was well and smiling only one hour ago. I never remembered the cordial. After wards, when I came to make inquiries. I found I had given her too much. I need not linger on details. "You see that if my little one died by my fault, it was most unconscious on my part: it was most innocently, most igniiiantly done. I make no excuse. I tell you the plain truth as it stands. I caused my baby's death, but it was most innocently done; I would have given mv own life to have brought hers back. You, my judge, can you imag ine any fate more terrible than standing quite alone on the llrighton platform with a de;td child in my arms? "1 had very little money. I knew no soul in the place. I had no more idea what to do with a dead child than a baby would have had. I call it dead,' she continued, 'for I believe it to have been dead,' no matter what anv doctor says. It was cold, oh. my Heaven, how cold! lifeless; no breath passed the little lips! the eves were c'osed, the pretty hands still'. hilin-nTit ilarf, 1 wandered down to the beach, and sat down on tin stones. "What was I to do with this sweet, cold body? I cried until I was almost blind: in the whole wide world there was no one so utterly desolate and wretched. I cried aloud to Heaven to help me where should I bury my little child? I cannot tell how the idea first occurred to me, the waves came in with a soft murmuring melody, a sweet sil very bush, and I thought the deep, green sea would make a grave for my little one. It was mad and wicked I know now; I can see how horrible it was; it did not seem to be so then. I only thought of the sea then as my best friend, the place where I was to hide the. beloved little body, the clear, green grave win re she was to sleep until the .liidgrncut Day. I waited until it is a htunbie thing to tell you! but I fell asleep fust asleep, and of all tho hor rors in my story, the worst part is that, sitting by the sea, fast asleep myself, w ith tny little dead babe on my knee. "When I woke the tide was coining in full and soft, with swift-running waves, the sun had set, and a thick, soft gloom had fallen over everything, and then I knew the time had come fur what I wanted to do." ( IIA1T1.U XII. AND LAST. "I went on the Chain l'ier. I had kissed the little face for tho last time; I had wrapped the pretty white body in the blaik-and-grey shawl. I said all the prayers I could remember as I walked along the pier; it was the most solemn of burial .services to me. "I went to the side of tiie pier lean not understand how it was that I did not sec you I stood there some few miiiutes.'aiid then I took the little bun dle; 1 raised it gently, ami let it fall in to the sea. lint my baby was dead I swear to that. Oh. Heaven! if 1 dared if I dared Iling myself in the same green, briny waves: "1 was mail with anguish. 1 went back to mv lodging; the landlady asked me if I had left the baljy in Hrighton, ami I answered ' Yes.' I do not know how the days went on I could not tell you; I was never myself, nor do I re member much until some weeks after wards, I went home to my grandmoth er, who died soon after I reached her. I need not tell von that afterwards I met Lance, ami learned to love him with all my heart. "Do not tell him; promise me, I be seech you, for mercy s s;ike do not tell him:'' "What you have told me," I said, "certainly gives a different aspect to the whole affair. I will make no prom-ise-1 w ill think it over. I must have time to decide what is best." "You will spare nie," she went on. "You see I do no ono any harm, wrong, or injury. If I hurt another, then you might deprive me of my husband and my home; as it is, Lance loves mo and 1 love him. You will not tell him?" "I will think about it," I replied. "liut I cannot live in such suspense," sho cried. "Jf you will tell him, tell him this day, this hour." "Ho might forgive you," I said. "No, he would not be angry, he would not reproach me, but ho would nover look upon my face again." "Would it not be bolter for you to tell him yourself?'' I suggested. "Oh, no," she cried, with u shudder. "No, I shall never tell him." "I do not say that I shall," I said. "Ijiive me a few days only a few days and I will decide in my mind all about it." Then we saw Lance in the distance. "There is my husband," sho said. ("Do I look very ill, Mr. Ford?" "You do, indeed; you look ghastly," I replied. "I will go and meet him," she said. The exercise ami the fresh air brought some color to her face before they met. Still he cried out that I had not taken cure of her; that she was over-tired. "That is it," she replied. "I have been over-tired all day; I think my head aches; I have had a strange sensa tion or dizziness in it. I am tired, oh. Lance, I am so tired!" "I shall not leave you again," said Lance to her, and I fancied he was not unite pleased with me. and thought I had neglected her. We all threo went homo together. Mrs. 1'lcming did not say much, but she kept up better than I thought she could have done. I heard her that sanm evening express a wish to bo t riven to Valo Hoyal on the dav following; a young girl whom she had been instrumental in saving from ruin, bad been taken suddenly ill und wanted to see her. "My darling," Lunco said, "you do not seem to mo strong enough. Let me persuade you to rest lo-inoriow." "I should like to see iloso Winter again before before I" then she stopped abruptly, nnd her face grew crimson. "lloforo you what, Frances?" asked her husband, with a smile, "I menu," sho said, ."that 1 should like to seo Hose before sho grows worse." "I think you ought to rest, but you shall do as you like, ,1'rances; you al ways tlo. 1 will drive you over myself.'' I saw them start on the following morning, and thou 1 tiled to think over in solitude what it would be best to do. Her story certainly altered facts very considerably. Shu was not a murder ess, as 1 had believed her to bo, If the 8, 138ft death of the little h!,.nless child was at tributable loan over lu1 e of tho cordial, she had certainly not mvcu it purpose ly. I'ould I judge her? Yet, an honest, loyal man like Lance ought not to be so cruelly deceived. I felt sure myself that if sho spoke to him if she told hiiu bur story Villi the same pathos with which she had told it to me, he would. Arlvo' her he- must forgive her. I could not reconcile it w ith my conscience to keep- iluuce, I could not. and I believed that the truth might be told with Kiifety. So, after long thinking and deliberation, 1 cam to tho conclusion that Lance must know, and that she must tell him her self. It was in the middle of a bright sun shiny afternoon when they returned. When Lance brought his w ife into the draw 'big-room lie seemed very anxious over her. "Frances does not seem well," he said to me. "King the bell, John, and order some hot tea; sho Is as cold as death." Her eyes nu t mine, and in them I read the question " What aro you going to do?" 1 was struck by her dreadful pallor. "Is your head bad again to-day," I asked. "l'es, it aches very much," she re plied. The hot tea came, and it seemed to revive her: but after a few minuteH the dreadful shivering came over her again. She stood up. "Lance.' she said, "I will go to my room, and you must lead me, my head aches so that I am blind." She left her prcltv drawing-room never to re-enter it. The next day at noon Lance came to me with a sad face. "John, my wife is verv ill, and I have just heard bad news." "What is it, Lance?" I asked "Why, that the trirl she went yester day to see, Hose Winter, is ill with the most malignant type ot small pox. 1 looked at him in horror. "Do you think," I gasped, "that the that Mrs. Fleming has caught it?" "1 am quite sure," he replied. "I have just sent for the doctor, and have telegraphed to the hospital for two nurses. And my old friend," he added. "I am afraid it is going to be a bad case." It was a bad case. I never left him while the suspense lasted; but it was soon over. She su tiered intensely, for the disease was of the most virulent type. It was soon over. Janee came to me one afternoon and I read the ver dict in his face. ' "Sho will die," he said, hoarsely. "They cannot save her." and the day after that he came to mo again with wistful eyes. "John, ho said, slowly, "my wife Frances is dying, and she wants to see you. Will you see her?" "Most certainly," I replied. She smiled when she saw me, and beckoned me to her. Ah, poor soul! her judgment bad indeed been taken from me. She whispered to me: "l'romise me that you will never te',1 him. I am dying! he need never know now. Will you promise me?" I promised, and she died!

Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the oldest city in the United States, It has rescued the end ofilstlrst third of a thousand yours its tertio-uiillemal period. Iholcrtio-Alil-lennial Celebration snd Mining and Indus trial Exposition, which will be inaugurated there on the 2d of July and close on the Ud of August, will bean event of groat histo rical as well as prncticM importance to the country at ltrgo. It is intended to com memorate the three hundred and thirty third anniversary of the Spanish settlement of the place. TIIK KXI'OSITION, Which will constitute the practical part of the. celebration, will bo an epitome of the mineral, ngricultural, horticultural, stock and general industrial resources and ciips bilities of the Territory. Those, therefore, who nro interested in cither mining, ngrl culture orstock-raiHliig will have a good op portunity to visit New Mexico this hciihoii, ns the low lure will lie a great inducement to iniike the trip. Tho development of the mines of this vast region has but begun, yet in the past year the proportionate in crease in the output of ore was greater than in any other State oi Territory. New.Mox ico's showing at tho mining exposition held at Denver last season showed, more clearly than anything else, the vastnosa of its min eral wealth. It has been tho general belief heretofore that agriculturo in New Mexico would not pay. This is an unfortunate error. At tho exposition will bo teen samples of all sorts of fruits and field products which vie with those of prolific Kansas.
