The Journal has been told by
farmers that the hog crop in Ter
relI county this year will not fur
nish pork enough to supply the
laborers next year, though it is
thought there will be enough to
supply the families of the farm
owners. The cholera has killed
large numbers of hogs this year,
which accounts for the shortness
of the meat crop.

No ono loved beauty more than She; no
one could depreciatc the body more when it
began TO lose its freshness. For strong
young men in their prime, for blooming girls
and mature womanhood, she had an admira-
tion as frank and almost as unqualified as
Greeks. But her very alteration of physical
loveliness made her peculiarly sensitive to
imperfcciion and the dismal Accomplishments
of sickness In her own case, when accident
brought infirmity upon her, it was received
at first with shudder Of disgust a kind of

only noble natures are capable. She spoke of
her illness as "a career of disgrace 1t was

sion for that Bradford And as for small
women, with short hair, dressed in
brown-well, his disgust for them was
not to be measured by any language.
Nevertheless, as Coniston willy argued
with himself, "a man must fill up his
time" SO, in An finland way he just in
timated to Bradford that he didn't care
If the opportunity ofered-if he did in
troduce him to Mrs. Waddle and her
niece. Miss Grey.
Bradford was apparently magnanim-
GUS; besides, he had never presented an
earl to Miss Grey beforehand he did the
deed with satisfaction to himself at
least.
Miss Grey bowed slowly to Coniston,
and hen she turned her attention to a
group OF lady friends sitting near, leav-
ing Coniston to the agreeable knowledge
that he was at liberty to salute her the
next time he met her on the piazza or
the corridor.
1t didn't satisfy him.
He went off and smoked a cigar, and
conjured up Cicely in the fragrance of
the Havana.
Even Cicely did not seem to be as com
plete a boon as he had fancied she ought
to be.
For five days he wandered up and
down, and round and round the hotel,

correct term TO describe these peregrina-
tons would b~e-politely chasing Polly
Grey.
Finally he beheld her alone. Neither
aunt nor Bradford nor friends-Heaven
be praised were anywhere about.
He drew near the big rocker where she
sat with a book in her lap; and suddenly
Coniston remembered that he should
have to say something beyond good
morning." and for the first time in
forty-one years he actually wondered
what it should be.
She spared him the attempt, however,
and glancing up, said;
All! good morning; you have beer up
in town, l suppose, eve since the day
since Mr.. Bradford presented youi"
up in town." This was too much,
when he had followed her like a detec-
tive the entire time.
Coniston looked feebly at her, and then
he laughed, and his fair face flushed az
he ventured to sit down on the piazza
step at her feet. Polly glanced down
inquiringly, with steady, demure eyes.
