card, with the information that the lady
was not at home, he was not surprised
or disconnected.
"If that MEANS" he said to the SER
want, that Miss Ashgrove is denying
herself to visitors this afternoon, please
say to the lady that Mr.. Holbrook calls
upon business Of the utmost Importance
and of unusual interest to her."
The servant went away a second time
leaving him seated in the reception room,
and returned to say that the lady would
see him in few moments.
He did not wait long, for Flora, still
in morning toilet, followed the servant
closely. She was cold and naughty in
the extreme, but none the less wearied
and anxious.
She saluted Mr.. Holbrook, and with
out waiting for return. she said to the
servant:
~ am not at home to any other callers,
no matter who they may be-"
She closed the door after her, and sat
down in such a position that the light
was upon Holbrook's face, while her
own was in the shadow. She waited for
Holbrook to speak, turning upon him
with polite look of inquiry.
Her manner conveyed that the call was
to be regarded as one purely of business.
Holbrook felt it, and was stung by her
manner. Upon her part she felt that the
blow she dreaded SO much was about to
fall
Holbrook accepted the situation, feel
ing that in the end he must win.

he began, "but necessity knows no law
g etiquette or custom. The last time
had the honor Of calling upon you, the
conversation was wholly, if my memory
serves me. upon the then recent muir
der Of Mr.. Templeton. desire to renew
it."
Flora visibly paled under this exor-
dunn. She replied:
1.-The subject is not an agreeable one
but l suppose you have purpose in re-
newing il.
II have, and also . confession to
make"
"a confessionl" she repeated in sur
prise"
Eyes, confession. From your man.
ner and from your words at that time,
and subsequently from your manner at
the Casino, where met you some days
afterwards, arrived at the conclusion
that you suspected Mr.. Fountain of hav-
ing committed the murder"
1.-The dreaded blow has fallen" she
thought, as she gasped out, her face
ghastly white. "but you did not know
him; he told me so.
~ learned who he was that night at
the Casino, he replied calmly.
II feared so," she said, with low
moan. "And yet he went to you the
next morning. Fool. fool, fool, that he
was!"
"That conclusion" continued Hol-
brook, conscious he was torturing her as
a cat does mouse, twas strengthened
by the report Of an interview between
yourself and Mr.. Fountain on the veran-
da of your uncle's house at Newport"
She sprang to her feet, nerved by the
strong tide of anger and contempt that
swept over her.
"And were you low enough, base
enough. to spy upon us, or to place a
spy upon us?'
Holbrook was struck with her great
beauty as she stood before him, burning
with scorn. and he admired her.
mo, Miss Ashgrove," he replied, quiet
ly, "you wrong me. You are mistaken
in both conjectures. ! neither spied on
you nor placed one on you. The report
came to me in my professional capacity.

johnson Grass.

Mckinney, lex June 24.--By request
of many Collin county farmers and some
large landed proprietors, I am urged to
write few lines warning everyone Of the
gaeat danger that awaits US unless some
thing is done to prevent the further intro
euction and careless scattering Of the seed
of johnson grass in and over our country.
Many valuable plantations in South Caro-
lima, Arkansas and Louisiana haye become
ruined and worthless by it. 1t is known
in South Carolina as the "means grass"
from having been brought over from Egypt
and introduced there by Mr.. Means some
years anterior to our civil war. 1t was
afterwards carried from South Carolina by
q Mr.. johnson, whose name it IL best
known by.
1t hos become such terrible pest that
no one has Oh yet claimed o practical remedy
for it's eradication, because its roots pene.
trate 80 deep into the earth, not less than
five or six feet, and its growth is so rapid
that the cost Of preventive would OK
coed the value Of the land A Leading mer-
chant of Mckinney. who recently pufchos.
ed fine Collin county farm, said to me
yesterday, that no dreaded the johnson
grass SO greatly that he would as soon
person would burn down and destroy
houses, barns and fences as to scatter the
johnson grass seed over his farm. Some
advocate tho necessary legislation to pre-.
vent its introduction.

Judgment in starting this fearful pest
within the limits Of our town, while resid-

ruined all that rich tract Of land lying in
