The q. S. S. Iroquois arrived in
Pago Page on Dec. End, and Apia
on the 9Th, and returned to Pago
Page on the 10th, intending to
await the mail steamer of the 18th,
and bring the Chief Justice to
Apia.
A meeting convened at the desire
of the general public for the pur-
pose of making arrangements for
welcome to the Chief Justice was
held at Apia on Monday, Dec. 10,
and was attended by fifty-three
German and eight British subjects,
and two naturalized American citl-
zens. The editor of the Times
comments severely on the back
wardness of the British and Amer
leans, and thinks that the Germans
displayed considerable generosity
in appointing only FIVE of their own
people on the reception committee,
and selecting two Americans and
three Englishmen to assist them.

miral Valois, was at Pago Pago,and

CHAPTER vi,

Times flies, and no man can reach his
hand to stay it. A very good thing too,
thinks Monica, as she stands before her look
ing glass putting the last pretty touches to
her white toilet.
Ii is Friday. Madam O'ConnOr'S garden
party lies before her, and, probably, other
things. Here she bushes at herself, as she
sees that pretty soul in the glass, though in
deed. she has no cause to do so; but posi-
bly, the vague thought Of those 'Other things"
has something TO do with it, and perhaps it
is for their sake too that she places with
such care the heavy, blood-colored rose be-
meath her chin.
This is the only suspicion of color about
her. Her gown is white; her hat is white ;
long white silk gloves nun up her rounded
arms as though bent on joining her sleeves
far above the elbow. A white Surar sash is
tied round her dainty waist. She is looking
''as fair as the moon, as lovely as a rose,
and altogether distinctly dangerous.
Perhaps she half recognizes this fact, be-
cause she smiles at her own reflection, and
vain little girl that she is-stoops forward
and kisses herself in the happy glass that
holds her even for so brief q minute; after
which she summons hex maid from her
dressing-rOom beyond.

AwHIrE MAN AssAULATEp
Shot at Three Times by a Negro
Desperate.
ROANOKE TIMES BUREAU,
PULASKI. VA. Nov. %


There was serious breach of the
peace at the depot last night. John
Hunter, colored, who was recently tried
at Wytheville for shooting Will Cook
last Fourth of July, fired three shots at
a white man on the depot platform.
Hunter came in on the Cripple Creek
train and was dancing in front of the
depot. The white man, stranger, was
dancing at the other end of the depot.
Some remark was made by the negro
that he could or would shoot. The
white man dared him, whereupon Hun
ter drew his pistol and fired three shots,
none Of them, however, striking the
man.
The stranger then went to look for an
officer, but finding none he produced
splendid pair of pistols and went in
search of the negro. Hunter, however.
had made good his escape, accompanied
by dusky damsel, who had been a
spectator during the whole fracas.
Night Policeman Martin later went
after Hunter. He is bad negro and
should be run in. He has been in other
shooting scrapes.

Two days passed, and ar1ner IaIDuU
sauntered into the little sitting-room,
where Amanda sat quietly sewing.
Il he locked down into her face, he
perceived that her nose and eyes were
very red, and marks Of tears were still
fresh on her plump check.
Why, Mandy" he cried, what on
earth is the matter?'
Matter enough, answered Amanda
I'm going to leave"
Going to leave? amanda, you must
be mad. Don't pay You wages
enough?"
Yes" said Amanda, ''it isn't for that
l am going. The fact of the matter is,
l am getting to be the town talk, and l
am not going to Stanj it; and the soon
er leave this place the better it will
be for me-
Overcome with surprise, Farmer
Talbut sank helplessly in a chair be,
side his housekeeper.
Town talk, Mandy" he said. Il
wish you would explain, for swear |
don't understand you"
well" said Amanda, Its Just this.
You remember the day we tried to
drive the pigs out of the clover-field?''
Remember it? lie guessed he did.
Why, it had not been out of his head
five minutes for the whole two days"
and q smile passed over his lips as he
nodded to Amanda, who, with her eyes
bent on her work, and cheeks as red as
a peony, continued:
well, that gossiping old creature,
Sophie Wilkins, who lives down in
Burnham's Meadow, was passing Just
the other side of the stone wall when
I fell, and she saw-saw-"
Here Amanda stopped short, over
come with maiden nodesty.
saw me kiss you,'' continued the
farmer, and went and cackled- it all
over the neighborhood Is that it,
Mandy?"
Yes" answered Amanda, that is
just it; and she said / had been set
ting my cap for you ever since came
here"
Its just like the meddlesome old
rat. But I say, Mandy, let's give her
little surprise
Amanda looked inquiringly into his
face.
You see, Mandy, he continued, for
some weeks have known that can't
get along without you, no way; and if
you viii marry me I'll ask the parson
up to our Sunday dinner, and we'll have
the splicing done right up at the same
time. What do you say, Mandy, are You
agreeable?"
Amanda was agreeable, and the
farmer sealed the agreement with
kiss which could be heard almost at
BGrnham's Aeadow-Josephine Love
