Hearing the sound of wheels, she sup
posed the carriage had come to take her
to the station. As she went toward the
door leading into the hall, it was sud
denly opened from the outside, and Lord
Melton entered, looking pale and bag
/, gard. Before she had time to speak; he
took her hands in his, and began hur-
riedly:
"Parker-my Darlington do not,

off completely altered the meaning. !

and heaven knows | love you, my dar-

not let q jealous, ~unprincipled woman
ruin our lives! Can you not trust me,
Parker2 VIII you not believe me?"
'No!" said Miss Grey coldIy. wrenr'
ing her hands free, although you act
your part most excellently."
At first, when Lord Melton entered SO
unexpectedly, she was taken off her
guard, but as he went on speaking, she
regained her self-possession.
tI had hoped, . she continued, "that I
should have been spared your explata-
tons of what is unexplainable: l con
denim you from your own words, written
not a month ago. OF course | know you
would explain them away; for although
it is a custom here for English noblemen
to marry American girls for their money;
surely it is a transaction which does not
reflect credit upon you, and of which
neither of the contracting parties a
well be proud. You have fallen into
the error of thinking I cared to buy your
title; allow me to inform you that | do
not! l believe now we have both said
all we have to say and all that is neces-
sary."
II, at least, have not said ALL" broke
forth Lord Melton, hotIy. "Do you sup
pose / intend to calmly lose the only
woman [ have ever loved, through a hor-
rible mistaken Never! And if you had
loved me, Parker, as well as Hove you,
you hssuld not have been SO ready to
doubt me; for there is nothing, no mat
ter how conclusive, which could make
me attribute a base motive to an action
of yours" ,
She felt herself weakening, and in
desperation took advantage of the cue
he had unconsciously given her. So, in
a voice that trembled slightly as she |
uttered the falsehood, said d~eiantly:
"Perhaps you are right, and the reason
| doubted you SO quickly was because I
did not love you"
Great God, do you mean that q" !
~ mean il. repeated Miss Grey, stead (
lily, but not looking at him. Had she
done so, she might have been convinced
Jack Melton was no nypocrite, for
never were grief and despair more
genuine than those expressed in every
line of his face.
There was a pause before he replied:
Then, of course, I release you. I
will ask you one again to believe l love
you, and that l always shall. Good
bye"
Before she was aware of his intention
The was in his arms, and felt his hot, de-
kisses on her lips, her cheeks,
Ter eyes. Then, suddenly releasing her,
lie strobe into the library and closed the
loor behind him.
Five minutes later Miss Grey was being
driven to the station. Thatn night
he joined her American friends, and
with them a year through
before returning to America.

cular:
"The attention of town and city Off

two of the laws of 1890, entitled An
act providing for the assessment of a
State tax which assesses tax of eigh-
teen cents on the dollar of the grand

fore the 10th day of June, 1892.
sit will be noticed that, unless towns
may so elect, it will not be necessary,
in their estimates of expenses for the
coming fiscal year, to include more than
a sum equal to nine cents on the dollar
of the list for the present year, for this
purpose, leaving the same amount pre-
cisely to be provided for and carried
into the expenses of the next year, to
be payable into the treasury as above
indicated.
the dollar, authorized by number six of
the laws of 1890, and necessary to be
provided for, will be assessed for the
current year upon the grand list for the
year 1890, that being the only list that
will be prepared and returned to
the treasurer on May next, when the
notices are required to be issued to the
several towns, to constitute a basis
for the apportionment of this tax, as
provided in section four of the act re-
ferred to.
"The treasurer desires to add that he
expects to be able to divide the income
of the Huntington fund in season for the
distribution of the public money in

MCDOUGALLS' SHEEP DIP,

McDougalls non-poisonous sheep dip and
cattle dressing, scab specific and insect ex-
terminator on sheep, cattle, horses, dogs,
in this county for several years. 1t instantly
exterminates all ticks lice and maggots; is
the only true specific for scab and finely
stimulates the growth of the fleece, making
its use very profitable. When used at a
special strength it also waterproofs the fieeces,
thus affOrding the animals great protection
from cold and wet. In the United States,
Great Britain and many places abroad 1t is
now generally adopted-having to a large
extent displaced the use of tobacco, arsenic,
lime and sulphur, and poisonous mixtures.
1t has important advantages over such dress
ings, and is more certain in its action. For

them is a personal letter from

The man who taks< a paper for
the purpose Of sustaining and in
creasing his stock Of intelligence
should be careful not to neglect the
advertisements; not that he should
religiousIy read all in every issue
nor believe all they say either, but
he should give some attention TO
them. Newspaper advertising is
the main vehicle used by business
men to convey business informa-
ton and the public do and should
take advantage of it just as a trav-
eller reads the sign boards where
the roads fork. Suppose q Chinese
farmer, accustomed to dig with a
sharp stick, should see advertised
In a Hong Kong paper, a spade
made In Chicago, would it not pay
him to write and inquire about it ?
In the same way there is useful in
formation In the advertising col
umns of every paper. It may be
taken as a tolerably safe rule that
II q man can afford to- advertise
an article, it is well worth the
trouble of al examination. A mer.
chant who advertises can generally
offer inducements to>buy and it is
not bad Judgment in customers to
notice and consider what he says
in the public prints.

Before the war were colored men

Deafness can't be cured By local
applications, rs they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the eur.
There is only II way tocure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an
inhamedt condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness caused by
catarrh that we cannot cure by
taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

Three neighborhoods in Laurens
county and two just over the bor-
der in Spartanburg and Greenville
have held or will hold fairs during
the present fall. This is an excel
lent sign of the Zines. 1t argues
that farmers not only have some
thing to show, but that they are
taking pride in their profession and
enjoy the zest of striving for supe-
rlority in their products. The AID
vERTIsER hopes that the epidemic
of fairs will seize every commun-
5ty in the county and believes that
meetings of producers to study and
compare the results of their own
toll will have q most wholesome
influence in helping forward the
interests of the people. Some day
the success of the neighborhood
fairs may put new life into the
county fair and awaken q lively
interest to make it the greatest
and pleasantest event Of the year
in the county.
