TIIE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20, 1885.™TWELVE PAGES. FATE VERSUS LOVE. BY FLOBEXCB REVERE FESDAB. “It cannot be!" Ah tUene words fell from Helen Arm strong's lips she arose from her sear—an old overturned boat—and moved slowly tow.ud the water’s edge. For a moment her companion, a man of perhaps 2d, hesitated; then he ri joined her, repeating: “It cannot be, Helen? Surely you are not in earnest. You love me—have you not said it?—and vet vou refuse to become my wife!" “Edwin, I " “You did not mean it." quickly interrupt ed Heuiiet, adding: “Come, darliug, why should wo not be happy?" and he drew her hand within his arm. For mi instant she let jt rest there, then slowly bnttirmly she loosened his clasp, ns she said: “For two years you and I have been friends. In that time did you ever know me to change my mind after I had once de cided upon anything?" “No, but ” answered her companion quickly, while the, unheeding, goes on with: ••You know the one great desire of my life is to win fame as an artist. Could 1 do this as your wife?” “Why not, Helen? Would I not do any thing in the world to help you?” came the proud answer, ns Edwin Bennett bent his eyes fondly upon the fair face beside him. “No, Edwin; us a wife I could never hope to attain fame. Marriage brings to woman so many cares that there is very little time left for other work. I should not make you happy. I should be constantly longing’for my old. free life.” “if that is nil I am not afraid to risk my happiness, Helen.” answered her lover, ^a more hopeful look lighting up his handsome face. “Think how for live years," continued Heleu, “I have worked with the one end view. My home, you are aware, has not been particularly agreeable. Unole and aunt are kind in their way, and have always let me have my will about painting, provided it did not cost them anything. As for love or sympathy, you have seen how much they have yielded me." “Seen and felt for you, Helen, God knows. And now that I will make your life, if love can do it, one happy dream, you will not; and yet you do not deny your love for me." For a second Helen’s eyes rested longing ly upon the face of the man who loved her so clearly; then into their dusky depths crept an intense, passionate longing as they swept the horizon and noted the glori ous splendor of the setting sun, while she exclaimed: “Oh, Edwin! If I could only reproduce that sunset just as it is! If I only could!” With an impatient sigh he turned away. “Always her art; never me; perhaps she is right after nil. It would always stand be tween us.” She, not noticing, went on with: “If it would only stay long enough for me to catch those colors, but no, it is fading now.” Turning, Helen found her companion had left her side, and stood n few yards away, “Edwin,” she called. In an instant he was beside her, every thing forgotten except that she was the wo man he loved. “I wanted to tell you how good Mr. IIo- vey is. It seems he was acquainted with poor papa years ago, when I was a baby, and therefore feels quite interested in me. You have heard how he praises my work, and last night he proposal—'” “Proposed!" exclaimed Edwin Bennett, hotly. “Why, you don't nurru -to soy the old man actually had the audacity to ask you to many him?” “How ridiculous. How could you think of such a, thing?” answered Helen, a ripple of laughter escaping from between h»*r pretty teeth os she continued: “No; he proposed, if I w.-ro willing, to pend me to Italy for two ye irs, he, of course, defraying the greater part of the expense. He said when 1 became famous I could re fund him the little amount if I wished. Was it not generous of him? Just think, two year* at work among the old masters. What could I not do then? It would he such a help to me. One can live very sim ply there. My little income would do, with care. I think." “And you would go?" As ihlwin Ben nett asked this question ft look of pain crossed his face. “Why noif’ 1 Caine the reply, ns Heleu raised her eyes questiouiugly to her com panion. “Yon Ray you love me, and yet you would put the sea between us. Helen, wait, I will work hard and earn money enough to take Us both abroad. Do you think I could deny you anything? You should paint to your heart's content from the old masters or any thing else you .'lease 1. So long ns you were happy I should he. Perhaps I might turn painter, too, some day, with you to inspire me," he added, smiling slightly. “I do not doubt your love forme, Edwin, but I shall never marry. I intend to devote my life to art. As a wife it would he im- J >ossible for me to do so. I should he hin- lered and trammeled in a thousand ways. Believe me, I have thought very earnestly of all this, and I ’’ “Helen, when I came to spend my vaca tion here at Little Rock, so ns to be near yon, I sliid to myself: ‘Now you can ask the wo man you love to be your wife, and know that yon have a home to offer her.” For your sake I wish I were rich, but I aiu still young, and with the good prospects I have I do not see why I shall not he able before many years to give my wife all she can wish.” “It is not that, Edwin. I should not love you one bit the more if you were a million aire," interrupted Helen, glancing reproach fully at him. “Helen, my holiday is over to-morrow. I must have my answer to night.” The words c.tuie somewhat sternly fibm between Ed win Bennett's lips* Mechanically, with the end of her parasol, Helen Armstrong traced on the glittering, yellow sands, “Fame versus Love,” Then, when she became aware of what she liml done, she sought to efface them. Too late. Ed a in Bennett’s hand stayed hers, as, pointing to the letters that stood out, he said, hoarsely: “Choose!" For a second she hesitated; then, slowly, came the answer: “I accepted Mr. Hovey's offer this morn ing. I am to sail in a week.” Spurning her hand from him, Edwin Ben nett cried out passionately: “God forgive you! I cannot!” Then, without nuother word, he turned and left her. A faint cry of “Edwin" escaped her lips, as her arms were held out imploringly to ward him. Then they fell to her side, and she, too, turned and went slowly across the sands in the opposite direction. If he lmd looked hack and seen those outstretched arms how different their life might hnv been; but, no, he plodded angrily along the shore, glancing neither to the right nor the left. Little by little the waves crept ltj and Love was drowned, while Fame stil stood out bold and clear upon the yellow sand. Ten years have come and gone since tightly- >f which stood out rho, in the man's 1 of his Hummnd- Holen Armstrong and Edwin Bennett part ed on the shore, and during that time they hove never met. Helen had won that which site had striven for. She had become an artist of renown. Even royalty had been pleased to compliment her ‘upon her art. For the last month one of Helen Arm strong’s paintings had been on exhibition at the Academy of Design, and crowds had been drawn thither to see this last work of the celebrated Artist. The subject was sim ple, nothiug'uew, yet visitors returned again and again *to gaze at it. It was the last day of its exhibition, when a lady and gentleman, the gentleman lend ing a little girl of p rliaps three years by the hand, passed into the room where the paint ing hung. “t )h, isn’t it too had there is such a crowd; 1 wanted so to see it,” exclaimed the lady; to which the gentleman replied: “We will look at the other pictures first and come hack again; perhaps there will not he such a crowd then/’ An hour or so later the gentleman and j lady returned; then the room was almost de- j scried, except for u few stragglers here and {there. It was just about time to close the gallery. For a few moments they stood in silence before the painting; then a little voice said: “Baby want to see, too, papa." Stooping down the gentleman raised the pretty, daintily-dressed child in his arms. I After gravely regarding the picture for a [ second, the little one asked: “Is zou mad, papa?” I “1 am afraid one was, pet,” came the low answer, as Edwin Bennett softly kissed tin* fair cheek of his little girl. Then his gaze returned to the painting. A stretch of yellow sands, dotted here and there by huge boulders and piles of snowy pebbles, against which the overhang ing cliffs looked almost black. Gentle lit tle baby waves rippling in toward the shore, while majestic purple-lmed, silver- edged clouds seemed floating en masse to ward tlie golden, criiuson-barred sun . that flooded tlie sky and water with its warm light. In the centre of the picture, where the beach formed a curve resembling a horse shoe, was uu old boat, turned bottom up ward; some few feet off, the figure of a young man, apparently walking hurriedly away. Although the face was not visible, the gazer felt mat the man suffered; that the glorious sunset was this day us naught to him. Perhaps it clasped hand, the vein like great cords; or, n apparent total disreg; ings. To the right of the picture was the figure of n young girl, trailing a parasol in the opposite direction from her companion. Only a little bit of a delicately-shaped ear and a mas of glossy braids showed from beneath the shade lint, hut one could readi ly believe that the pretty girlish figure be longed to an equally attractive face. About half way between them, traced upon the sauds, were the words “Fame ver sus Love.” “Is it not lovely, Edwin?" and Mrs. B.-n- nett laid her hand upon her husband's arm as she added: “Yet how sad it somehow seems. I can’t help feeling sorry for them. I wish I could see their faces. I feel as if I wanted to turn them round.” Clasping the little hand that rested so con fidingly upon his arm Edwin Bennett in wardly thanked God for the gift of his fair young wife, as he said: “Cojue, dear, they are commencing to close up. Baby’s tired, too." “Ess, mo’s tired. Baby wants to tiss mamma,” lisped tho child, holding out her tiny urigs. Husband and wife failed to nolico a lady who stood near gazing at a painting. As the pretty young mother stooped down to receive her baby’s kisses, winch the little one lavished on cheeks, lips and brow, a deep, yearning look gathered in the strange lady’s eyes and she turned hastily away. fOh, Edwin?” exclaimed his wife as they passed tho silent figure in black. “Wouldn’t it bo nice if baby should grow tip to he a great artist like this Miss Arm strong?" “God forbid, Annie,” came the earliest reply, followed by “let her grow Up to be i. true, loving woman, that is all I ask.” The lady s lmnd tightened its hold upon tin- back of a settee as the words reached her ears, hut she did not move until they were out of sight. Then lifting her veil she went and stood before the painting that had won such fame. Tears gathered in her eyes as she gazed, and with the words, “I will never look at it again,” she, too, passed out of the building, and in her own handsome carriage was driven home. Scorn shone in her dark eyes as they fell upon the costly works of art scattered in lavish profusion about her luxuriously fur nished apartments. Hastily throwing aside her wraps, she crossed over to a mirror. A very handsome face is reflected. Not look ing* the thirty years it had known. Helen Armstrong—for it was she—had heard of Edwin Bennett's marriage; heard that he had succeeded in business beyond his most sanguine expectations; heard that Ins wife was one of the loveliest and gentlest of women, and that Edwin Beunett idolized both wife and child. This day she had seen them. . Then came the thought that she might have stood in that wife’s place, she, too, might have had those baby lips pressed as lovingly to hers. But she hml put it from her. She hud chosen Fame vesns Love. If she could only go hack to that day on the sands, how differently she would now act. Turning wearily away from the mirror she exclaimed bitterly: “Too late, Helen Armstrong. As you have sown, so you must reap. ’’ strung** Growth of Hair on n Corps * 1 . Two years ago William A. Walters was buried in Stone Chapel Cemetery, in Wood cock Valley, Huntington county. l*a. The other day the body was exhumed for rein terment. When the coffin was reached the diggers discovered that it had sprung at the joints, and out of the crevices hair pro truded. On opening the casket the hair on the head was found to measure eighteen inches, the whiskers eight inches, and the growth on tho breast six inches, notwith standing tin* body had been cleanly shaved when prepared for burial. A similar in stance occurred in 1882 at theCassville cem etery. Upon exhuming the remains of Jacob Cresswell, the skeleton, which had l»eeii lmried for ten years, had hair on it ten or twelve inches in length, aud as firm ns during life. He Paid.

You see,he drank oop dot beer und said: ‘Sharp i it to me!’ und der bartender he prings out his club und taps him on der headt. It vhns almost eatery day somebody drops deadt here!” He laid a hickory club on the bar and looked the man full in the eye, and the beer was hardly down before it wus (mid for. A TOWN IN TWO STATE3. Some Funny Episodes Arising from a Queer Geographical Situation. Tho State line between Tennessee and Virginia, writes n correspondent of the Phil adelphia Times, also separates the cities of Bristol, in the former State, and Goodson, in the latter. This line runs for more than a mile through Main street, which is the principal ^business thoroughfare of both cities. Within r. radius of forty miles these twin municipalities are the States of North Carolina. \\«st Virginia and Ken tucky. This same line marks the limits of tin seventy-fifth meridian, by which “East ern'' lime* is regulated, and the ninetieth meridian, which governs the “central” standard. Railroad trains in Virginia run by Easttrn time, while Tennessee holds allegiance to the central meridian. A pas senger train from some point in Virginia arrives daily at 1.30 p.m. The travel) takes half an hour for dinner, and ivsunn his journey in T *nnesHeo at 1 p.m, the same day. This "sounds funny, but it is nevcuhc- less true. Bristol and Goodson have a population of twenty-five hundred each, aud the muni cipal, county and State governments art entirely distinct. Elections for mayors, aldermen and recorders for the sister cities are held on different days. State elections in Virginia arc held in odd and in Tennt in even years, lienee none but Presidential elections ever occur at the same time both sides of Main street. The Stilt** line measurably aids the escape of criminals. A largj percentage of the are subsequently arrested by venturing ue or across the line, and somo curious and amiisiug incidents nr.* told of this phase of the relations between the two places, offender, having escaped from a Teiiue officer, ran across Mamrtreet, climbed upon a pile of boxes and began to taunt the offi cer, who was powerless to re-arrest him without a requisition from the governors of Virginia and Tennessee. While the refugee was indulging in a good deal of hilarity over the officer's predicament a friend of the hitter gave tho boxes a shove, which threw them down, landing their occupant in Tennessee, where the pursuer lost no time in securing*his man. An old man from the country come to Goodson, imbibed too freely of the cup that cheers and proceeded to give a curbsf matinee. On the approach of an officer the performance was hastily adjourned to the Bristol side of Main street, where it was continued until the arrival of a Bristol po liceman convinced the aiAutour minstrel that lie had escaped Beylin only to perish in Chirybdis. In this situation the disturber of the peace placed one foot in Virginia, tho other in Tennessee, and, standing like a clothes-pin across the State line, informed the officers of Bristol aud Goodson that he would sue either city that removed any part of his body from the other State without his permission. This threat availed him hotlung, however, und the emigrant was taken to tho Goodson lock-up, howling be cause he was not permitted to air himself like a family washing upon the State line. James W. Wiggins and Horatio Clow, two citizi us of the Tennessee side of the line, had a misunderstanding, from which Hora tio emerged with a disfigured countenance aud his clothing badly tom. Not wishing to go to jail, the belligerent Wiggins decided to emigrate, and within a few minutes was safe in Virginia. For some time after his arrival in the’Old Dominion lie pursued the even tenor of his way, undisturbed bv the cares and anxieties tliat beset the ordinary lawbreaker in constant fearof apprehension. Mr. Wiggins’ felicitous condition might have been prolonged indefinitely hut for tho closing of all barrooms in Goodson, owing to nn election which was being held. As the election progressed Wiggins became very dry. founding oil'the Goodson side he could look into open Bristol bairoomp and see a “land flowing with peach and honey’.” However, ho endured tho agonies of Tantalus until late in the afternoon, when a well-meaning hut misguided friend proposed that they go across the street and “take something.” The drink was a costly one for Wiggins, for scarcely had ho set his glass ou the bar than the strong grip of the law laid hold oil him and he was taken by the sheriff to another bur to answer for ma liciously assaulting tho inoffensive Clow with u wugonspoke. A owes B, but owing to the homestead exemptions has no property subject to levy. A drives into the city and in turning his horse or vehicle crosses the line. B in stantly attache" A’s property and makes good "his nth Twise valueless debt oil the ground that .i was removing his property from the State. Nor does the line assist in the collection of debts from individuals alone, for tlii novel spectacle was here wit nessed of a locomotive chained to tho track. The Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad, which William Malione bankrupted during his administration as president of the con cern, sent the engine across the line into Tennessee, when a wide-awake creditor took this opportunity to enforce the collection of a claim lie had against the road. Attachments of a gentler nature aro also aided by the line, for her young people can watch the old year out in Virginia by East ern time, have un hour to make the most of and watch the old year out in Tennessee by Central time. When storms darken the parental horizon the young couple can step across the line and find a second Gretna Grfen, where parental rage avails hut little, unless accompanied by Executive requi sitions. The utmost good feeling prevails between tlu* Democratic organizations of Bristol and Goodson. Each assists the other in bring ing out a full vote, and when either calls for a rally or scores a victory, red paint is applied without reference to the line. Dur ing the last Presidential campaign Samuel J. Randall and other distinguished Demo cratic statesmen addressed an audience of 2,500, after which n pole was erected on the line and a Cleveland and Hendricks lianner unfurled in sight of Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, West Virginia and Ken tucky, where it remained until the unan imous choice of these States was inaugu rated. King's Meadow, the site of the twin cities, was settled as early us 1770. On account of its soil, climate, water, timber and minerals, much of the surrounding country was settled by Shelby, King. Blount, Preston, Camp bell and other heroes of the Revolution. From this region in 17S0 marched the hand of sturdy patriots who met and defeated at King’s Mountain the victorious British un der Ferguson. At the close of the Revolu tion King and Blount erected the Barbara furnace, three miles west of where Bristol now stands, uiul made the first iron in what is now the State of Tennessee. As tho ores (magnetic, red and brown hematite) were rich and of unlimited quantity, King subse quently erected u nail factory, several forges and an additional furnace, all of which were profitably operated for many years.

Though Others of Her Sex May Kcrcam at Mice, Hhr Smilingly Faced a Hear. BouMer Valley (Mon.) Henttnel. Mrs. Sarah Ella Davidson, of Boulder Volley, is a little black eyed woman with a tender hcafcrt and the courage of a lioness. Last Friday, while Mr. Davidson was away from home, Mrs. Davidson and her little three year-ohl daughter were in the garden, about thirty yards from the house, gather ing potatoes, when tho child exclaimed to her mother: “There's n bear mother; go get the gnu." The mother looked up and discovered three hears coming. She took the little one by the arm and led h-r to the house, un i* taking down an old trusty Sharp's rifle, “started out for bear." The dogs in the meantime hud chased two of them away, but the third one ran into a thicket abont thirty yards from where she lmd stood from the time she had discovered them. • She walked within fifteen steps of the thicket, and, kneeling upon one knee, waited several minutes for bruin to make hjs appearance, in order that zlie might seal his death warrant. The dogs soon chased him out, not, however, until he had slapped them right and left several times. As soon as the War came to the edge of the thicket he stood erect, with outstretched arms. While lie was in that attitude she gently raised her rillo, and, without even a particle of fear, shot him through the heart. Sin* waited onily a moment for it to rise, and the bear showing no signs of lift*, she went directly up to it, took it by the hind leg, and, with the assistance of tin- dogs, soon had it at the house, and in less than thirty minutes tho hide was hanging upon a peg. KIDNAPPED BY TWO MEN. The Mysterious Adventure of n Young La<lv or Boston. A strange story lias been made public for which^apon investigation, there appears to be some foundation. Last Thursday night, about 5:30 o'clock, according to the story, a young lady, whose name is withheld, went to the Old Colony depot in Boston take a train for Fall River. Not knot the time of the train's departure, she t to the lower « nd of the station to consult a time table, and while so engaged was seized hv t vo men and hurried into a carriage which was dose at hand. Her outcries wen smothered by a hand placed over her mouth, and an attempt was made t<* chloroforn her. This she prevented by breukin; the bottle containing the liquid. After driving for nn hour or more the men appar ently became aware that they lmd kidnapped the wrong person, and the young lady wm unceremoniously left upon a side street ir Cambridge. Having relatives in Watertowi she proceeded thcuce on foot, arriving at her unde's house at t) o’clock, when she told her story, and tho police were notified. The lady had about $28 in money, a gold watch and other jewelry on her person when abducted, aud the watch and jewelry were found in Cambridge the following day near the spot where she had been left by her ab ductors, but they had appropriated the money. No personal violence was attempt ed while she was in the carriage. Tho whole affair is considered very mys terious. He'll Ho It. Wall street Now*.
