CHAPTER vi.

On pleasant August evening, at
that particular portion of the day In
which twilight shades into night,
Fred Macdonald left his fathers house
and walked toward the opposite por-
tion of tho village. From his leisure
ly, elastic gait, the artistic effect of his
neck-tie, the pose Of his hat, the rose
bud In his button-hole, and the grace
full carriage of his cane, it was very
evident that Frederick's steps did not
tend toward the fulfillment Of any
prosaic business engagement. 1t was
not so dark that he could not recog-
nize in occasional unlighted windows
certain faces well known, some Of
them handsome, all Of them pleasing,
nor was 1t too dark, just after Fred
had bestowed bow and smile upon
the occupant Of each Of these windows
and passed on, for one to discern by
the expressions upon most of the faces
that slowly turned and looked after
the young man that Fred need not
have gone farther In search of cor
dial welcome. But he walked on un-
til he reached the residence Of the
Rev. Jonas Wedgewell. To any one
not resident Of Barton the house
might have seemed strange enc to
be visited by young man fond of
liquor and the company frequently
found on Western steamboats,, and the
strangers surprise might have in
creased ut finding that Fred had been
SO frequent visitor that even the
house itself seemed glad to see him,
and that the heavy old door seeming
ly opened of its own accord before
Fred's fingers had time to touch its
antique knocker. But had the sup
posititious observer possessed good
eyes whose actual powers were tenn
porarily increased by the stimulus of
curiosity. his bswilderment would
have ended second later, for as Fred
stepped inside the hall there came
from behind the door q small hand,
and then dainty ruffie. and then
muslin sleeve. and these all took their
direction toward the shoulder Of Fred's
coat, while there followed . profile
which the behOlder would have will
ingly gazed upon longer had it not al
most instantaneously disappeared be-
hind that side Of Fred's face which
was farthest from the door.
Could the observers gaze have pen
etrated the window shades Of Parson
Wedgewell's little parlor he would
have seen face, not girlish or Of reg
ular features, and yet 80 full Of hAppi-
hess that its effect was that Of absolute
beauty and the innocence Of youth.
There were estinable maidens In Bar
ton who, scsrning the thought that
they could be either jealous or snvious.
had frequently remarked to their in
Inmates that they could not see what
men found In Esther Wedgewell to
rave about, and 1t was well known

Bunley looked at both men quickly
from under the extreme inner edge o
his upper eyelid.

Then Old Virginia came to the sur

And they ought to go among the

"You came of good family -"
'And their mother was a lady, too

"Of course she was" said Crupp.-

But you mustn't talk about paying

up to the Squire's store when you
want anything. Good-by.
Bunley drew himself up with great
and old time courtesy ~ he
shook hands with both men. When
his visitors reached the friendly angle
of an old abandoned barn both turned
hastily, gazed through cracks between
boards, and saw the old man sitting
in a neditative attitude, with his low
er jaw in beth hands.
"Doat that look good?" whispered
CrupP, his face all animation.
1T does that" replied the Squire
there's no lodging the question--it
does look good"

Price of Wheat.


From the Richmond state.
The wheat market opened to-day,
some three thousand and odd bushels
being taken. The offerings were about
four thousand, and we may look for
them to reach eight or ten thousand
bushels before the end of the current
week. Several of the large buyers for
milling account are still out Of the
market, their establishments not being
ready for grinding. The demand,
however, will, in a few days, be fully
represented in Change, and one Of
our chief industries he In full work.
The opening price justified the esti-
mate which the State ventured to
make some weeks ago-putting it at
"about 81 Gj'-for to-day the highest
figure for strictly prime was $40,
grading down according to quality,
1t is altogether impossible for any
one to say what the course of the mar
ket will be, but, unless a foolish rush
of Virginia wheat takes place, it is
reasonable to believe that the price
will not reCede below 81 90, and in
general view we may look forward to
II steady demand at or aboutthat. figure
for Il prime article.
At anything above 81 so the farmer
is paid for his labor, and, on the other
hand, the miller has, in the first place
II certainty of a crop, excellent in
quality and large ia supply, while the
future demand for his manufactured
product Is, to say the least, very good.

Mr.. w. 5. McGaughey was engaged
last week in laying off n road from the

now regularly employed on the
grounds. The road will probably be a
winding one, the entire length, in

the course Of gently rising ridge and
passing entirely around the hill near
the apex. The monument, we learn,
IS almost ready for delivery. The
base, alone, will weigh five tons, and
will have to lie taken from the rail-
road to the spot by means of pulleys
and derricks.
