THE FIRST ENTR' ACTE.

AS the curtain descended at the end OF
the first act he found himself behind th'
scenes.
Miss Eleanor Armitage hurried off tn,
stage Tan elegantly set drawing room

time, she had so admirably tainted in the
dance with Armand (Mr. Nickersham).
She was dressed in one of Worth's most
charming creations--a white costume du
bal---her diamonds, though chiefly paste,
gave none the less brilliancy to her APP
pearance. As she stepped into the wings,
her maid quickly adjusted about her
shoulders light cloak, which, of some
dark material, enveloped her TO her feet,
and changed her from laughing cour-
tesan to a nun.
At the same moment Burnett made his
bow, and call boy delivered a telegram
into her hand. 1t was marked "Rush. ~
She opened it quickly.
Burnett was rather fine-looking fellow,
tall, athletic, an ex-college oarsman. His
face was intelligent and kindly-at the
same time full of decision. He looked
especially well in evening dress. AS it
was rather warm, he hung his light over
coat over his arm. He watched Miss
Armitage's face light up with pleasure as
she read the dispatch, which she imme-
diately crumpled in the palm OF her
gloved hand. lie stood pulling at the

dering from whom the message had
come. She noticed his ill-concealed look
of inquiry, and smiled.
"From a man?' he asked cnrelessly.
"a man." she added laughing. "Why
not?"
He looked into her eyes, There was
girlish espieglerie and e q lis.te fiavor in
what she said and did wh.ch gave her, to
him, an irresistible charm. Her hostess

pause), ~ threw away nothing. I-rather

Harold Burnett, who had come down to
the city from New England, from one of
those white little hamlets which lie with
their spires Ike jewels set in the Green
Mountain valleys, turned aside thought
fully as he heard the remark. 1t was but

eft the room and took his departure
from the crowded function then at its
height
He had met Eleanor Armitage only a
few weeks before. In his capacity as
dramatic critic on great New York
daily, he had bestowed a few words of
discriminating praise on the young
English actress who had taken the town
by storm, in her fresh and beautiful i'm
depreciation OF Camille. She had sent for
him at her hotel and thanked him. He had
called once or twice since. He had
met her brother-a curious, fiabby, pale
Englishman. This afternoon he saw her
at fashionable reception, where her
English beauty shone amid the flower
garden of the pretty American girls.
He saw, and he realized that he saw
with the eyes OF lover. i. amused him
TO perceive thrill of delight when, i'm
the crush at the door, he overheard a
handsome, irnpulsive girl say to another,
Eleanor Armitage, the actress, is per-
fectly ideal-she is lovelier off the stage
than on. She 4 good!r And
the anger he felt as he took his hat and
STICK from servant, to overhear an
elderly gentleman say TO another, "Oh,
she's English and she's pretty and wears
good clothes and so New York has gone
crazy over her, of course. It's a way
New York hasl''
He strode OFF, down the avenue to his
club and dined alone, with mild pint OF
warm Burgundy SO that he should not
be disturbed in his silent contemplation
OF her-the girl who seemed,
"A perfect woman-nobly planned"
but eh, so high, so pure, so cold, SO
above the "depravity of Lowell" The one
woman who filled his dreams, night and
day; the magnet OF his thoughts---he
loved her! Ah, that he could show il
worthily, earn her gratitude still further
as ne had begun to do by praise in the
lace OF the critics. To praise her now

The words rang in his memory. They

the terrible buzz of n hundred high
pitched voices. They had been spoken
by glorious young woman, her chin up,

Then he remembered Cain and Abel,
and laughed, threw away his cigar, and
drew near the well-lighted theater where

turing.

The distressing cotton situation in
the South is forcibly described in the
statement that cotton is now selling
below the absolute cost of production,
and another crop Of the same as this
last one would bring the staple to a
price where it would not pay to hire
the labor necessary to pick it from
the fields In the distant future the
cotton States may indeed, be called
upon to produce not yearly crop Of
$500, 900 bales, but one of over 49,
900, 900 bales !; but the present over
production must be radically reform
ed until new market conditions arise.
Tie South may reap from her ap-
parent distress of to day an unex-
pected boon on the morrow The
South has neglected the diversified
agriculture Of the North, and yet
during the decade from 1880 to 1890
her total farm assets increased 81 per
cent. and her farm products gained
l6 per cent In other words the
Southern farmer reaped gross reve-
nue. of "a l per cent upon his capi-
tai, while the rest of the farmers Of
the country were only rewarded with
13.1 per cent. TO one dollar that the
Northern agriculturist has earned,
his Southern brother has received
almost two dollars.
Furthermore the South has not
reaped the real profits upon its cotton
crops. England sold to Japan IN
single year Sl4, 100000 worth of cot
ton goods. Almost every pound Of
this material came from the Southern
States, but England received as much
for each yard Of four-ounce goods as
she paid the cotton growers for each
pound. The erection of extensive
cotton mills in Georgia and other
Southern States during the past few
months by New England cotton spin
ners is most important feature.
Secretary lIoke Smith cif the interior
has already emphasized the fact that
the manufacture in the South Of It's
own cotton would change the value
of the crop annually from S3O0,09O,-
600 to about $l.000,0 900, ,000.-PAilo-
