THE BLACK RIBBON.

Inc gentlemen OF Cove mousse sat
upon the piazza, smoking and look
ing at the sea as it tumbled in, when
the evening coach, laden with
piled up baggage and passengers,
came rafting down the turnpike and
made the sweep which led up to the
hotel. This in itself was matter
enough for attention, but when, in
the wake of the yellow old coach,
just beyond its cloud of dust, a gilt
tering little poney carriage rolled
swiftly on, dozen pair of lazy eyes
grew interested and expectant.
The coach drew up with scienti-
&c flourish, and the sweating horses
stood painting with the tug through
the heavy sand, while the driver
leaped down, and with much tumb-
ling and crashing of trunks the old
stage was unladened. Meanwhile
the pony carriage, holding two girls,
rolled smoothly up to side door,
and three walters were instantly in
attendance upon them.
The ladies alighted, and the two
disappeared at the private door of
the Cove house.
"Who are they?" asked Paul
Hanover, Withdrawing his cigar from
his mouth and turning his handsome
blue eyes on the friend at his elbow.
Fame King, who was looking
thoughtfully out at sea, replied that
he did not know.
"It's Miss Payson, of New York, T"
said Will Mckenzie, who knew
everybody. "At any rate, that's her
turnout"
(which one 2"

met her, but abe was at Newport
with my sister last season. Nice,

"Who is the other one?
/ don't know. Poor cousin, l pre-
sumo"
Hanover and King relapsed to
their cigars; but everybody was
thinking more or less of Miss Pay
son.
The ladies appeared at supper.
There were only five Of their party
the old gentleman, the two young
ladies and an INVALID child Of Is and
her nurse. IL was soon remarked
that they appeared sufficient for
themselves, and neither sought nor
received acquaintance. The face of
the blonde girl was as jolie without
the jockey hat as with it, but the
profile of her companion only was
to be seen. A broad black ribbon
bound around the chin and nearly
concealing wealth ofrich brown
hair revealed only the side view of a
set of regular features and one
smooth, fresh cheek.
aWhat can be the matter ~ ques-
toned the ladies one of the other.
So, without the least possible In
formation on the subject, Alice Pay

/ cannot say that either appeared
much affected by the regard of those
around them. Certainly they spoke
to no one for at least three weeks.
People became discouraged about
MAKING their acquaintance, and few
more attempts we're tried.
But things inevitably changed.
One evening when all Cove house
was in the surf a scream arose. The
scream ives followed by frantic
cry:
"AliceI Oh, Alice She is drown

Long before it was answered Fame
King was seen striking out boldly
for the spot.

CROP REPORTS HIGHLY FAVORABLE.

The business failures in the last seven days are
reported By r. q. Dun d Co. to be 224 In the
United States and twenty -rine III Canada total OF
co3, compared with 244 week ago and and 100 for
the corresponding week of 1890. The weekly review
says OF tho general situation:
While crop reports continue remarkably favorable.
the volume OF business at present transacted not
as large as II has been in other years at this time
This Is In part because exceptionally hot weather
ut many points has induced something Ike mds
mer dulness but the important cause undoubtedly
is that trade in many branches has been waiting for
certainty of improvement and definite orders before
undertaking new risks. There IS also some heslta-
ton owing 70 recent failures, particularly in Phla-
delphia. Credits have been more cautiously gwen I'D
