but ON inquiry, while our train stop

dead and the rest were gone to parts
unknown, and we could not resist
sad train of thought of how eventful
our Improbable lives had been, OF
how transient and feeting poor
humanity is, the many sad reminis-
cences, including the four years war,
destruction and death since those
happy years Of my boy days life, and
we pause to querry ourselves, Have
we ever done good deed: Is the
world the better for us having lived
in it? All, echo seems to answer,
Have we? But, dear reader, while
we dash tear of regret from our
eyes, we remember there is no rain
bow without tears, and we resolve to
leave the world in a better condition
than we found it. So help us, God.
If the portions of Alabama and
Mississippi through which we ira
veled are fair representatives of the
cotton belt of these States, 1nnman's
calculation of a 6,000,000 bale crop is
reasonably calculated. The picture
of the ruined crops on the Black
Warrior and Tombigbee beggars
description; in fact, after crossing
Chattahoochee, we saw but little fine
corn or cotton. Bad culture seemed
to be the greatest trouble outside of
the inundation. The travel now is
not by Montgomery, but direct from
Birmingham to Meridian, Miss, and
then on the Northeastern to Lake
Ponchatrain and New Orleans.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The Treasury
Department. is advised that a model Of
the Santa Maria, the flagship of Column
bus on his first voyage across the Attain
tic, and perhaps models of the two ves-
sells which accompanied him, will be
sent to this country by Spain for exhibit
ton at the Worlds Fair. The ship will
be built in Spain, and will be of sufI1-
Gent size to take part in the naval pa
rade. After the parade they will be
sent to Chicago by way of the Erie and
Welland canals. After the exposition it
is the intention of Spain to present the
ship or ships to the United States and
have them moored in the lake in the
grounds back of the Executive Mansion.

On a still, beautiful May morning,
Warner was laid to rest in the Lanarth
graveyard beside poor Temple Mason.
1t was the boys own request, and his
mother felt constrained to comply with
it, although she would have preferred
interring the remains of her child beside
those of her own people at Greenwood.
The story of the young life beating itself
out against prison bars had taken strong
hold of the lads imagination, and the
fancy grew that he, too, would sleep
more sweetly under the shadow of the
old cedars in the land the young soldier
had loved so well.
Norma and Pocahontas stood near each
other beside the new made grave, and as
they quilted the Enclosure their hands
met for an instant coldly. Pocahontas
tried not to harbor resentment, but she
could not forget whose hand it had been
that had struck her the first bitter blow.
After Warmers death Mrs. Smith ap-
peared to collapse, mentally as well as
bodily. She remained day after day
shut in his chamber, brooding silently
and rejecting with dumb apathy ali
sympathy and consolation. Her strength
and appetite declined, and her interest
in life deserted her, leaving a hopeless
quiescence that was inexpressibly pitt
full. Her husband, in alarm for her life
and reason, hurriedly decided to break
up the establishment at Shirley and re-
move her for time from surroundings
that constantly reminded her of her loss.
In the beginning of June the move
was made, the house closed, the servants
dismissed and the care of the estate
turned over to Berkeley. With the
dawning of summer the birds of passage
winged their flight northward.

The aBAp MAN. 4.
He Was Brave when HIS Opponent wal
Unarmed.


He Was Brave When His Opponent Waa
Unarmed.
He was good man to keep away
from; practically everyone admitted
that. He was bad man to have any
trouble with; all seemed agreed on that
at least all except the quiet little
stranger.
The stranger had heard all the ac-
counts of the mans deeds; of his won
derful craftsmanship; and finally he
met the ''bad man" himself.
II was jest tellin' the stranger, Bill,
said one of the bystanders, "of the time
when you made that young eastern
Teller stand on a table, and then shot
some of his toes Off"
eyes" returned Bill, 1.-The kid was
too sassy, an I jest wanted to show
him that l was u bad man to fool with"
THAT was a pretty good shot, too"
commented another of Bills admirers,
when you stopped your pony in the
street, made Big-Foot Jake back up
agin wall, and then let him have it in
the shoulder, losin' his arm for him."
Fair" admitted Bill. Jake was
gettin' bit too fresh, an had to call
him down SOS he'd remember it."
He looked at the quiet, little stranger,
but the latter did not seem to be suf-
ticiently impressed. The "bad man"
glowered at him for moment, and the
bystanders thought he was beginning
to look wicked.
''But that amt my best shootin',
stranger" he said. "a fresh tender
foot gave me some cuff once. an told
him to throw up his hands. He did
and turned loose once with this here
Colts, an put bullet through the
palm of his right hand at twenty
yards"
THAT was pretty good off-hand re-
volver shot," said the stranger, appar-
entity waking up little.
"Well, it was some good" said the
bad man"
Gould you have done it if the other
man had been armed?"
Look hcreS young feller-'
The quiet little stranger had one
hand in the pocket of his coat as he
went on:
mo, sir; you couldn't have hit the
side of q house if you'd thought the
other man had gun, and you'd have
been afraid to try. I have one"
The dad man" backed off, keeping
tie man had his hand in. The "bud
man" said he would see him some other
time, and by rare good luck the quiet
little stranger got out of town without
! being shot at from an allcyway. The
bad man" was like most other "baI
| men."-Chicago Tribune.

A horse belonging to c. j. West, a
baker of IIacl1ettstown, N. j., got into
the hay NOW the other day and Mr..
West had an awful time hunting. Of
course, he looked everywhere in the
neighborhood except his own NOW, and
when he finally found him he didn't
know what to do about it. lie thought
FIRST of taking off the roof of the barn
and raising him out with derrick, and
then of building an elevator, but neither
of these plans seemed feasible, and he
went out and pressed Aaron Marlett
into his service. Aaron took view of
the surroundings and led the horse to
the head of the stairs. Placing his
back against the side of the barn and
his feet against the launches of the
horse, he gave a sudden shove. There
was great clattcr, and in very few
seconds the horse found himself down
stairs without knowing exactly how he
got there. Chicago Post.

no difference"
There comes a time in human affairs,
whether of nations or individuals, when
a dull, exhausted calm appears to fall
upon them-a period of repose, lul
after the excitement of hurried events,
pause in which to draw breath for the
renewal of the story. Grateful are these
interludes, and necessary for the pres
ervation of true equipoise, but they are
not interesting, and in novels all descrip-
ton of them is carelessly skipped over.
In stories we want events, not linger-
ings.
The summer passed quietly for the
family at Lanarth, broken only by the
usual social happenings, visits from the
BYRD girls" as they were still called,
with their husbands and little ones; a
marriage, christening, letters from
Jim and Susie, and measles among the
little Garnetts. In August Pocahontas
and her mother went for a month to
Piedmont, Virginia, to try the medicinal
waters for the latter's rheumatism, and
after their return home Berkeley took a
holiday and ran up to the Adirondacks
| to see Blanche.
Poor Mrs. Smith did not rally as her
family had hoped, and the physicians
as is customary when a case battles their
,, skill - all recommended further and
more complete change. They must take
her abroad and try what the excitement
Of foreign travel would do toward pre-
venting her from sinking into confirmed
invalidism. General Smith, who had
abandoned every care and interest for
the purpose of devoting himself to his
wife, embraced the proposal with eager.
ness, and insisted on the experiment be-
ing tried as speedily rs possible.
Blanche could not help some muir
mers, both inwardly and to Berkeley, at
the long separation in store for them
and the lover, although himself q little
rueful, heartened her up with bright
prophecies for their future. An i'm
mediate marriage for them was out OF
the question, for since Warmers deatl
Mrs. Smith chung to her younger daugh
ter with absolute dependence. The las
of September was decided on for sailing
as that would allow General Smith tim,
to enter Percival at school, and to com
plete other necessary arrangements be
fore the family departure. The manage

To Nesbit Thorne the summer had ap
peared interminable, and every goldel
hour had been shod with lead. He ha'
passed the season partly in the Adiron
dacks with his relatives and partly il
New York; but he was always oppresse'
with the same miserable unrest, tn
same weary longing. 1t would appea
