"IIc-he doesn't desplSc me?"
"Despise you? Why should hc?" and
the toro of the old Doctor, like the light
In his eyes, grew almost tender "Hls
heart is so full of love for you that there
is no room in it for any other sentiment.
A glorious doctor and splendid young
follow is that Wycyille! He'll yet reach
the top of the ladder, especially II you
will be his assistant in the race OF lie,
my dear Miss Jessie. Let me hope,
therefore, that you will allow me to call
this young man to my aid, and that my
third condition is fully and heartily ac-
cepted."
"What do you say, mammal" asked
Jessie, as red as a peony, turning ex-
citcdly to Mrs. Moreland.
81 leave the Whole matter to you, my
dear child"
"Well, it seems to me that our sensi-
tiveness has been little overdonc, ii our
case has been figuring in medical
works for years past! Let's have the
game as well as the name, and get cured
as soon as possible!"
"All right, JESSIE" said the mother,
with a profound sigh of relief. 1--WE will
accept the Doctors third condition. And
now for the fourth and last"
"The fourth and last," announced DR..
Robinett, with smile of contentment,
"will not worry you in the least. 1t is
simply that you will allow us to put you
to sleep under our operations when it is
wise to do So Some of these operations
ere painful and prolonged, and it is bet
ter for you to know nothing about them
until they are Over."
"Of course we will accept your views
in this respect, as in all the others" re-
piled Jessie, after receiving a little nod
of assent from her mother. "From this
moment, therefore, DR.. Robinett, you
will please consider that we are your pa
tients!"
"And DR.. Wyeville's also, remem-
ber; that being an essential feature of
our agreement?" queried the Doctor.
swell, ycs-Dr. Wyevillc's also," re-
piled Jessie, tender glow appearing in
her eyes and on her features.
"Thcn permit me-"
The Doctor arose briskly and placed a
light in one Of the windows, after rails
ing the curtain and opening the blinds.
"What's that for?" asked Mrs. More
land
"That's a hint to my young assistant
to come" was the answer.
"What! he is near us?" cried Jessie.
"He has been near us for hours" re-
piled the Doctor, "busying himself with
very important matters, of which / will
speak to you later. l think he's absent
just now on trip to Port Norris, but III

A sound of footsteps was heard at this
moment, rapidly approaching,
"Ah, there he comes, you sec," added
the Doctor, fastening toward the en-
trance. 81 will give him admittance."

HORRORS OF THE CHINASEA.
Sailors Who Escaped Burning Ship

Spanish steamer San Juan left Hong Kong
for Manila with full crew and all the
Chinese that could be slowed away. Fire
wa, discovered between decks 1t soon
spread to 10 0 cases Of petroleum, and then
all hope OF saving the ship was Abandoned
Two lifeboats were destroyed by the flames
and the others were capslzed by Chinese.
Sharks made short work OF these, and In
this manner the second engineer, quarter
master, steward AID second officer lost their
lives On the fire being discovered almost
all the Chinese ran up the rigging. AS the
fre increased In intensity the poor wretches
dropped on the deck and into the fire.
Others jumped overheard and were devoured
by sharks. Those who reached one OF the
boats filed it to excess and the sharks, a
hundred of which could be seen, leaped into
the air to snatch their prey. The panic was
fearful.
A seaman succeeded in reaching one Of the
overturned boats and righting her. He then
went to the others and managed to get two
more OF them on an even keel. They were
all kept at distance and everybody who
wanted to get into them had to run the
gauntlet of sharks. In this way ninety
eight persons escaped and reached shore,
after sixteen hours OF hard rowing. One
hundred and eighty-two persons lost their

His cry was succeeded by still wilder
exclamation from the lips of Agnus Hill
lington, who had recoiled to the wall, as
before a deadly apparition, and stood
covering in the widest bewilderment
and CONSERVATION.
"The Colonell" he gasped. Colonel
Ridgleyl Alive, and herel"
His teeth literally chattered.
"My brother! Oh, my brother!" came
from Mrs. Moreland, in a voice of mex
pressiblc joy and thanksgiving! SAFELY
with us at last Thank heavenl"
And then her gaze, like that Of her
daughter, passed to the stern faces OF
two men who, revolvers in hand, had
come into the room at the heels of the
man who had been so excitedly and vari-
ously greeted.
"Mr Wyeville," cried the mother.
"Oh, Vancel" breathed Jessie.
AS if by one impulse the three new
corners hurled themselves upon the three
conspirators, who went down like mush
rooms before cannon-balls, and in less
than a minute were placed beyond the
power of further mischief.
"Oh, my darling!" cried Vance, as he
hastened to the release of Jessie.
"What a horrible situation to find you
in, my dear friendl" exclaimed Mr.. Wye
vile, as he gave his best attention to
Mrs. Moreland.
"The fendish brutesl What have they
done to my dear Doctor?" was the ex-
cited query of Colonel Barton Ridley
for the leader of the newcomers was,
indeed, the famous millionaire merchant
from India-as he bestowed his earnest
care upon DR.. Robinett.
Need we dwell upon the joyous and
excited scene which succeeded?
1t is only too easy to realize how Jes-
sic was gathered to the heart of Vance
Wyeville when he had released her from
the bonds which held her captive.
Only too easy to comprehend with
what tender respect Mr.. Wyeville raised
Mrs. Moreland from the foo, and led

you look it, Did you not receive my re-
cent letters, in which announced that
would soon do myself the honor of calling
npon you? But see by your welcoming
smiles that such is indeed the case. How
10 you do?"
He approached each of the ladies in
turn, extending his hand, but they
shrank from him as from an embodied
pestilence.
"What. You decline to shake hands
with me or extend to me the welcome
lue long absent and esteemed uncle
and brother-in-law?" he cried, as flush
of anger overspread his face. you're
200 good to speak to ME? What in the
world are we coming to when human
affection and brotherly love are at such
discount? Such conduct is calculated
to bring the 'briny' to my eyes, although
am by no means addicted to weeping.
Once more, how do you do?"
He again moved abruptly toward the
mother and daughter, extending his
hand, but again they avoided him, Jessie
taking refuge in an adjacent pantry
while her mother retreated behind the
stove.
"Come, come, Mr.. Moreland," ex.
claimed DR.. Robinett, sternly, in re-
sponse to an appealing glance he had re-
ceived from his new patients. "This
sort of conduct cannot be tolerated an
other moment. You must comprehend
at a glance that you are an intruder and
that the ladies do not wish to say word
to YOU"
swell, what have you to do with that,
sir?" demanded Radd, furiously, as he
turned and confronted the Doctor. "Do
You wish to come between me and my
dear relatives? Is it any part of youL
trade to promote family broils? Attend
to your own business, sir, and leave me
in peace, or you will regret it,"
"Enough of all this, Radd," spoke up
Mrs. Moreland, in very firm voice, al
though she was deathly pale. "You do
not need to be told that we are done with
you forever, and that you must refrain
from intruding upon US, or we shall in
woke the law against you. Leave US on
the Instant"
81 sha'n't do anything of the kind,
thank yOu," retorted Radd. 81 am here
to stay"
At this moment DR.. Robinett took the
intruder by the arm with NO gentle
tervOr,
"You have heard all Mrs. Morland has
to say to you," he observed, with a ges-
ture toward the door. "You must CO."
"I'll go when | get ready" returned
Radd, more furious than ever, "and I'll
fix date as soon as / have taken little
refreshments.
He produced flask of whisky and in
verted the same between his lips, allow
ing nearly half of its contents to gurgle
down his throat.
"Now, then," he exclaimed, with
sullen gleam in his eyes, as he returned
his flask to his pocket, "take notice that
am Oh the warpath, and that am 60
ing for choice collection of scalps!"
BY quick, unexpected movement, as
he ceased speaking, he swung chair
violently, bringing it down upon the

POOR COTTON CROPS.

Worst August Statement Ever Sent
Out by the Agricultural Department.
The crop report of the Department of Ag-
riculture for the month of August makes
conditions of cotton 8O.4, decline OF little
over two points since last month. This is
the lowest average for August ever given out
by the department. The averages by States
are For Virginia, SO; North Carolina, 81 4,
South Carolina, rs Georgia, S3; Florida, 81 {;
Alabama. 80 Mississippi 81 Louisiana, SO /;
Texas, 70 Arkansas, 80 Tennessee, S3. The
general averages in August for several years
are as follows: 1892, S2.S; 1891, $50; 1890.
ss.5; 1889, 1913; 1888, s7.S, and in 1887 it was
1913. The present low condition is the con-
sequence OF an excess OF rain in the early
part of the season followed by hot, dry
weather during the month OF July.
