Merchants advertise in various ways, such as “Selling Out at Cost,” “Damaged Goods,” etc., try ing to gull the public that they possess peculiar advantages by which they are enabled to sell cheaper than their competitors, at the same time selling at a good profit. They perpetuate a fraud on a generous public by offering a lower grade of goods, which are palmed off as good and sold as first-class. Each season it has been my earnest endeavor to improve the quality and make of goods and to sell them at a reasonable profit, giving each customer his money’s worth in each purchase. In fol lowing out this course I have been successful, and am proud to say my business has increased each year, and is now San Antonio Daily Light COTHLING, EATS, CAPS, BOOTS, SHOES.

Isabel, "and I invariably take advantage of it." "It would be a nice morning for a row, would it not i” remarked St. Albans. "That is just what I was going to speak about,” exclaimed Isaliel. "I want to call on an old woman—my old nurse—who lives in a cottage the other side the river, just beyond that ]x>int. Would you mind rowing me over? It will save me such a long walk.” “Would I mind?” cried the captain. “There are not many things 1 would mind doing for you. Miss Carlton.” In a couple of minutes the sculls were obtained, the ski# unfastened, and they started on their little voyage. “I was just thinking about rowing my self over,” observed Isabel, "when I heard your footstejw.” "I am glad I arrived at such nu oppor tune moment,” replied St. Allans. “I am sure But look! what is that boy pointing at Isaliel turned her head and ol&erved a cow-boy on the river bank. He was in a terrible state of excitement, and Was pointing just ahead of them, as he screamed out something, almost inar ticulately “Luk oot! Luk not for tree! Luk oot! Thee’ll be on’t—oh!" As he uttered the last ejaculation, a ■light crashing sound was beard. The boat received a shock, and for a moment was motionless. St. Albans turned round, and immedi ately perceived what had happened. The boat bail gone over the branches of a submerged tree, one of which had forced its way through the bottom. The skiff was then filling with water, and evidently would not float another lialf minute. “Don't be afraid, Miss Carlton,” he cried, as he pulled off bis shoes. “Trust your self to me, and all will be well.” “I am not afraid." replied Isabel softly, "and I will trust myself implicitly to you.” The next moment, as the boat sank un der them, bis strong arm was around her, and he struck out for the shore. Her lieauteous head was pressed close to bis breast, while her eyes were fixed up on his. "Isabel!" he suddenly exclaimed, as they approached the bank. "Isabel, you said just now you would trust implicitly to me. Would you trust to me for ever! Would you trust yourself to me! Would yon trust your future happiness to me!” A moment—an an xious nu mient—passed and then as St. Albans' feet struck the •bore, Isabel, in a low voice, replied: “Ye*, Harry, I will trust you in every thing, as I have trusted you this morn ing.” At first St. Allans could scarcely real ize it. It seemed too much. “Do you really mean it. Isaliel!” he cried, trembling with excitement and nervousness, strong man though he was. “Oh, ami dreaming! Will you really be my own dear wife!” “I will,”softly answered the young girl. In a transport of happiness he seized her in his arms, and raising her from the ground, pressed kiss after kiss upou her soft red lips. “For shame, Harry,” exclaimed Isaliel, nearly smothered, as soon as she could ■peak. “Think of that boy looking on.— Besides, I am wet through.” "Pardon me. darling," cried Harry pen itently; “I was so happy, I forgot all about the ducking we have had. Shall I carry you home!" “No, indeed sir,” replied Isaliel with a saucy look from her big black eyes; “I have had enough of that for the present —besides, the exercise will prevent my catching cold." They immediately started off at a sharp walk towards the Hall, though Isabel found her wet things terribly in the way. They had scarcely reached the lawn in front of the house, when they perceived the front door open, and the general rush frantically out, bareheaded, followed by visitors and servants. The cowboy had not waited to see the denouement, but had dashed away up to the Hall with the news that Mies Carlton and a gentleman had been upset in the middle of the river and drowned. Nearly maddened with grief, the old gentleman ran across the lawn to the river, expecting every moment to see his daughter's dead body being carried to wards him. But he had not proceeded many yards when she was in his arms alive and well. “Oh, my darling child!" he exclaimed; “I feared I had lost you; how were you ■aved!" “AaK Captain 81. Allans. ;a;a," an swered Isaliel just a trifle shyly. “What, another obligation, St. Allan*!” cried the general, seizing the captain's band as bis daughter made her "scape and ran off to change her things; “not satisfied with sat ing the father's life, but you must save the daughter's also.” The captain smiled. “What can 1 say! I cannot speak. Words will not express my feelings. You have done me the greatest service one man can do another, and 1 will never for get it." “Pray do not mention it," said St. Al bans. “I only hope to heaven I shall be able some day to serve yon in some way, and show what my gratitude really is." And as he turned round to re-enter the house the old man dashed the tears away from his eyes. CHAFTBR IV. LOVB-MAKIXa. —CROSS-pvarosss. It had been arranged that the party should ride to Ravenshill that morning, a distance of about ten miles, and view the old ruined monastry and wander about the grounds. They started away almut eleven, leav ing Isabel, who required rest after her excitement, and St. Allians, who was far too happy and exalted to be fit society for anybody but himself, behind to re cruit their strength after the morning's performance. St. Albans wandered aimlessly about for a short time, lighted three cigars one after the other, and allowed them to go out again, tried to amuse himself by knocking the tails about on the billiard table, and at last threw down his cue, muttering half aloud: “I wonder if I shall find her in the morning-room.” He speedily found his way thither and knocked at the door. It is wonderful bow timid love makes some men! Fellows with as much assurance as a London street-boy no sooner liecome vic tims to the tender passion than they grow as liasliful as a schoolgirl. "Come in.” He entered the room, and, as he had exjiected, discovered Isabel reclining up on a couch. A liook was in her hand, but as she was holding it upside down, we may take it for granted that she had not profited much by its contents. "I thought I should find you here,” ob served St. Albans as be seated himself by her side. “I have something to say to you.” “I thought I had lietter lie down for a little while." answered Jsaliel. “How was it that you did not go with the others to Ravensbill!” “To tell yon the truth, Isaliel,” replied St. Albans, “1 thought that if I remained at home 1 might enjoy a few moments of your society, and I eould not resist the temptation.” '•You foolish fellow." said Isaliel, play fully tapping his cheek, “and what was it you wanted to see me almut!" “To see you about," repeated St. Albans. “I forget, oh. yes, 1 remember—to tell you how much I loved you, my darling." “But you told me that this morning. Hairy,” responded the young lady. “I cannot tell it you too often,” ex claimed Harry, placing his arm around her waist as he spike, “for every moment I feel my love growing stronger and stronger! Oh. Isaliel, if you were ever to change and tell me you no longer loved me, I think I should go mad!” “Hush, Harry,” replied Isabel softly; “do not speak like that. You need never fear my affection changing; the founda tion is too deeply laid in my heart." “Tell me that again, my sweet one!” cried St. Albans rapturously. “You can not imagine the delight it gives me to hear you say that you love me." “I do love you, Harry," exclaimed Isa bel, a delicate pink color flushing her cheeks as she met his impassioned glance; ‘■and I always shall. There is only one thing that would alter my affection for you, and that I am persuaded is an im possibility “What is that, darling!” inquired St. Albans a little anxiously. “Your ever being guilty of —what is it you military meh term it!—oh, yes, I re member now,” snd she smiled as she con tinued—'conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.’" St. Albans raised his head proudly as he answered: “If that is the only rock I have to look out for, my sweet one, I fear nothing!” “I am well assured of it; replied lea bel, “or I should not have mentioned it. But I think I could forgive anything else in the man I loved but that. If once he caused me to feel ashamed of him, my love would vanish like snow in July.” “When did you first begin to care for nie, dearest?" enquired Harry tenderly, and drawing her beautifully-moulded form nearer to him as he sjxike. “I hardly know," answered Isabel, “but I think 1 began to notice how different you were to other men the day that you saved papa's life, and But she was unable to continue, for our hero, raising her head a little, pressed his lips to hers, anil indulged in a long and loving kiss. “Oh. Harry!" cried Isaliel reproachfully as soon as she was able to speak. “I cannot help it, darling,” answered Harry. "Remember this is the first time 1 have ever really loved, and I feel al most beside myself with joy and happi ness.” “Am I really your first love!" enquired Isabel, with her large eyes melting with passion looking upward into bis own. “I swear you are," replied Hairy; “I have never loved a woman before, and I shall never love another." For a few moments they gazed at one another in silence, and then once more St. Albans caught the lovely girl up in his arms, and sipp'd the nectar from her rich, ripe lips. Harry had not lieen sitting by her side as he imagined more than a quarter of an hour, when Isabel chanced to catch sight of the ormolu clock on the mantle-piece. “Oh, Harry!” she exclaimed, “it is lunch-time!” They had lieen conversing for two hours. “Oh, I knew there was something I wanted to ask you, dearest,” observed St. Allans as Isabel rose. “May I speak to the general t” “Certainly," answered the young lady without the slightest hesitation. “I am not ashamed of my choice, and I am cer tain papa will be proud of his intended son-in-law." She paused for a moment before open ing the door. Her eyes were filled with love, happi ness and elation. She placed her hands upon his shoul ders. and stretching up touched him lightly with her lipa, saying: "God bless you, my own dear love!” The next moment, before St. Albans had recovered from Ins emotion, she had van ished. After lunch, St. Allans sought an interview with the general. The old gentleman was in an a;artment dedicated entirely tn his own use, and termed "The Dem" Female servants were never allowed to enter it, and any attempt at "tidying,” “cleaning up," or "putting things to rights a bit," always resulted in such do mestic hurricanes, that he was now al lowed to enjoy his seclusion undisturbed. “I have come to ask you a favor, gen eral." observed St. Allans as he entered the room. “Certainly, my dear I my," answered the general, opening the drawer of a table standing near, and pulling out a cheque book. “I've lieen young myself, anil I know what it is to outrun the constable. How much do you want I Don’t lie afraid, speak out!" “My dear sir. you have mistaken my meaning," answered Harry, deeply af fected. "Thank Heaven! I am not in want of money.” “What can I do for you, then!" “Why, sir, you were kind enough this morning to express a desire that you might have an opportunity of doing me a favor. You have now the opportunity; In fact, the happiness or misery of my fu ture life lies in your hands!" -What i* it, my boy I I'll be hanged if I can understand you." “To speak plainly, sir, I love your daughter, and she returns my affection. Have I your pei mission to make her my wife!" For half a minute the old gentleman sat silent and motionless. Then, speak ing slowly, be replied: “That was the very last thing in my thoughts, and the shock upset for a moment. She is the only thing left now that I have to live for; but of course it must come sooner or later." The old general, deeply agitated, bent his head down for a moment, then, as if recovering himself, he said huskily “Take her, my boy. I am sorry, more than sorry, to part with her; but I would sooner you had her than anybody else in the world." The tears stood in the old gentleman’s eyes as Harry seized his hand and ex claimed “General. I will never lie the cause of se]arating yon from your child.” The general shook his head doubtingly. “In my old home down in Warwick shire there is room for half-a-dozen fami lies, and if you will consent to take up your abode with us, nolmdy will lie more pleased than myself,” A hearty shake of the hands was the only reply, and St. Allians quitted the Den so full of happiness that the house seemed too small and contracted, and be was obliged to go out into the ;ark and to walk off some of Id.- excitement. Meanwhile, after lunch, Isaliel had re turned to the morning-room. She had not lieen seated very long when the door opened, and Horace Austen walked in. "Mr. Austen!” cried Isabel in surprise. “Yes, Miss Carlton," answered Ansten, who looked |ale and worried, “and I trust you will pardon my intrusion.” Isabel bowed assent. “Your butler told me you were here, and alone, and as I particularly wished to see you, I thought I would take ad vantage of the circumstance.” “What can I do for you. Mr. Austen!" “Everything, Miss Carlton," replied the young man. turning very ;ale. "The fact is, I have come down here on pur pose to—to—to settle my future fate. Do you understand me?" Isabel immediately thought of her cousin Lucy, and replied encouragingly: “I think I do, Mr. Austen, and I may say that I do not fancy you have any ne cessity to lie so nervous over the matter." “Indeed! Is that really so!" cried the poor fellow, seizing her hand as he spoke. “Does the object of my adoration return my affection, then!” “Perhaps it is not quite right of me to say as much," answered Isabel with a smile; “but I think 1 can assure you that she does." “Oh, Isaliel!" exclaimed Austen, cover ing her hand with kisses. “The devotion of a lifetime cannot repay you for the happiness, the ecstasy you have caused me! Oh, my dearest, sweetest “What do you mean. Mr. Austen!” en quired Isabel, pulling her hand away, and drawing herself up somewhat haugh tily. “I think we have been making a mistake." “Oh no, do not say that!” cried Austen. “I have come down on purpose, Isabel, to lay my heart and hand at your feet, and “I thought you were sjieaking of my cousin, Miss Meredith," interrupted Isabel. “Not for a moment!" replied Austen. “It is you that I love, Isabel; will you consent to become my wife!” “I am really very sorry, Mr. Austen, that we should have bail this misunder standing," answered Isaliel, “for although I am deeply grateful to you for the honor you have done me, I must decline it." “Don’t say that! for Heaven's sake, don’t say that!" exclaimed Austen, his eyes grow ing dim. “Be my wife, Isabel, and I will devote my life to ensure your happiness!” “It cannot be, Mr. Austen," replied Isa bel. “I regret having to cause you pain; but it is no use my allowing you to in dulge in false hopes, so it will be kinder of me to tell you at once. I love another.” Austen sank into a chair standing near him, and covered his face with Ids hands. There is always something painful in witnessing a man's grief, and especially so for a woman when she knows she is the cause. Isabel watched him in silence for a few minutes, and then approaching, placed her band upon his shoulder and observed: “Do not give way like that, Mr. Austen. Bear up against your grief like a man. I will promise to forget what has passed during the last half hour, so that nobody shall be any the wiser, and in the course of time you will no doubt find somebody who will make you happier than I could possibly have done.” “Never, never!" murmured Austen; “my future life is a blank. I shall never care for another woman.” “Don't say that,” exclaimed Isabel soothingly. “Compose yourself, and look at it from a sensible point of view; if you give way in this manner you will only make yourself the cynosure of all eyes, ■nd possibly the laughing-stock of your friend*. Be a man, conquer the weak ness, and show me that I can still reckon on Horae* Austen as a friend." “You can, you can!" answered Horace, mastering hi* agitation. “If ever you want a friend, come to me. I will serve you to the death." “I waa sure of it," oloerved Isaliel; “and now I will leave you to recover youroelf." And she quietly left the room. Some people, when they have a grief. pet it and nourish it, ami seem to take delight in enlarging ami increasing it in every possible way. Horace Austen was one of these, and after Isals-I had quitted the ajmitment, be sat with Ills head in bis hands. as thoroughly wretched as he could possiljy make himself. He was so occupied with his affliction that lie did not heat the door open behind him, and his first knowledge of anyone having entered the room was a low sweet voice exclaiming: "Oli. Mr. Austen, what is the matter!" And Lucy Meredith, looking charming in her riding habit. but evidently much discompwed at fhe sight ladore her. ad vanced toward* him. Horace did not reply; in fact, be could not. “What is the matter! Do tell me," cried Lucy, sitting down by hie side, and look ing as miserable himself. “You are not ill, Horace, are you?" “1 am not ill," answered Austen with a sigh. “Then what in it! Dote)) me. Confide in me. It will relieve you to gjwak about your grief, whatever it is." And Lucy took hia hand with a true woman’s aym|>athy. Unhappy as Horace was. hr sould not help noticing, in a little sidelong glance that he indulged in, how wonderfully pretty Lucy looked, witli her soft eyes full of com man ion, as she timidly caressed his hand “I cannot s]iCßk of P,” replied Horace. “It must descend with ine to my frave* “Ob, do not way exclaimed Lucy. “Trust in me. Your trouble may not La so great as you think it “Oh, ye»*, it is—far greater.” answered Horace, “In fact, it couldn't I* greater." “But surely something can lie done," said Lucy- Thou she continued ooaxing* ly “Come now. tell me all m!n»ul It." Horace iuui another look at her. She was certainly a charming little girl, and was evidently prrp»et*eNMed Hi his favor. Besides Isaliel had given him to under stand as much. It was very pleaeaut to i* sympathised with by a pretty girl, and Horace had al ways had a certain regard for Lucy. When the first bel) rang liefore dinner, Lucy Meredith had promised, With a good deal of blushing, and a few happy tears, to become Mrs. Horace Austen. CHAPTER V. DISHONORED- A WKLL MERITED CHASTISE- MENT. The next day Harry St. Albans had rid den over to Witherton, ostensibly to look after a favorite horse that he expected down, but In reality to cool his excitement by means of a gixul gallop. Harry bad not quitted the Hall half an hour, when a foot man announced a visitor. “A gentleman wishes to see you, miss." “To see me.

The concert in aid of the First Baplist church, given in Turner hall last even ing. was an artistic and financial suc cess. The artists were for the most part amatcura, but tbelr eflorts in the cause of religion was moat creditable not only to their hearts, but to their ability in their respective lines. The Misses Lannle and Illa Alexander opened to the programme with a piano forte duet, “The Witches,” and capturrd the audience. Millard’s beautiful ballad, “When the flowing tide comes in.” was pat het ically sang by Miss Fannie Rhodes and much applauded. Miss Zulema Garcia, the pretty and graceful female Paganini, made an Im mense hit by her artistic violin solos, consisting of selections from Verdi’s Trovalore and Bellini. Mrs. Rose Hartwick Thorpe, the tal ented authoress of “Curfewd Must No: King To Night.” read an original and Interesting poem upon the Alamo, but bad hardly sufficient elocutionary power to give the poem due effect. Mirs Mary Hernandez, wholnthere cent revival of the "Mikado” scored such a big success as “Katlsha.” sang Simon's effective ballad, “The Water fall,” and her magnitlolent contralto was heard to advantage. Miss Lula Moore elicited enthusiastic applause tor her admirable rendition of Gottschalk's pianoforte recital, “Last Hope,” and was encored. Mies Edna Truax, who also made a Mikado hit as a piquant amateur “Yum- Yum,” sang Reichardt's old but popular ballad, “Thou art so near and yet so far.” in a way that pleased the appre ciative audience. Mise Jessie Bell’s recitation of "The Settler’s Story” was delivered with all favorable elocutionary force and effect, of which she is the acknowledged mis tress, and made a decided hit. Master Edgar Gordon, by his cornet solo, proved that he was an infant Levy. He was cool, effective, nnd gave a tii e exhibition of what is technically called good "tonguing." Master Frankie Lewis’ tenor solo, "Mother’s Prayer,” was delightful, and in every way an excellent rendition. The San Antonio quartette, consisting of Ed. Oakley. J. M. Carr. Riley Gordon and Willie Herff. gave some pleasing quartettes, which were excellently sung and well received. It is pleasing to add that the concert gave general satisfaction, and that it is estimated that about $l5O was netted for the church in whose interest it was given. Working up a New Town.

The people of San Antonio are prepar ing to settle the question as to who shall constitute the municipal official list for the next two years. There is an abun dance of material In the way of patriotic citizens who are willing to serve the city to the best of their ability. But the people are determined to be choice in their selection—their want from the mayor down. Men of high character and good standing, thorough, in whom the people can have the fullest confidence. There are many necessities that San Antonio should and is very desirous to possess, among which are the not very little important necessities, namely—the waterworks and sewerage, but how to possess them is the unsolvable problem. The present owner of the waterworks will not sell them, therefore the city cannot purchase; the contract with the waterworks company prevents the es tablishment of city waterworks for the present. The sewerage question has twice been placed before the people,and has as many times met with defeat at the bands of the taxpayers. One of the principal objections raised was the using of the San Antonio river as the recipient of the city refuse; this objection was ou account of the number of people who resided lower down the river and who were compelled to use the water from the river. A very just objection everyone will admit; but has the object been ac complished? No; and right here we pre sent a scheme whereby, if properly car ried out, will at some future day likely give us the much needed sewerage. In choosing the city's administration let the people select such men as will turn their at.ention to the many private citi zens who are using the river and every ditch that runs through the city for the purpose of receiving the filth accumulat ing on their premises. A careful investi gation in this direction will develop the fact that the San Antonio river today ia nothing more or leas than a large sized private sewer, and the poor people be low the city are dally using the water from the same. We believe that there la a punishment Inflicted on those detected in using the river for this purpose. If so, if there is a law let it be enforced at once and the guilty ones brought tojustice. Some one may ask, "What are these people, then, to do with the filth which will necessarily ac cumulate?” We might reply and say, “Store in your back yard, or throw it into the streets but If we d'd make this reply the objectionable taxpayer would say, “Ab, yes; but how about the sanitary inspector?” Right here the all Important question arises: What are we to do with our filth Throw it into the river, the streets, or store it away In our back yards? Either act would be a violation of the law. What Is the result? Cancel these laws, or build sewers. Elect men who will devote their at tention to this matter, and push it for ward until some good result is arrived at. Cherry Bob. Removal.
