when the screw began to revolve, and
viewed the yacht swing slowly around
and, with increasing speed, move toward
the open sea.
The sunset was magnificent and the sky,
toward the west, one mass of flashing red
and gold-gorgeous beyond description It
lighted the tops of old Green and Newport
mountains, whose vast masses of stone cut
of the rays of the ruby light from the shores
iof Cromwell's Harbor
The yacht suddenly came into the full
glory Of she dying sun. Fairfax had I'M
consciously emerged from ! shelter, and
now stood upon the rocks in open view, his
hands clasped behind him and his chin
isunk down upon his breast, gazing mourn
fully after the fast-recedng vessel, upon
whose stern he could distinguish three fig
lures looking silently toward the vanishing
coast one that of child The others were
lplainly Natalie and Lydia.
One of them moved toward the cabin, but,
ere entering, turned, as by a sudden uncon-
itrollable impulse, and waved her handker-
chief toward Fairfax, disappearing quickly
down the passage way
Who was it, He could not distinguish.
HE could only conjecture.
Twilight rapidly descended and darkness
began to cover the land. The air grew
damp and chill, and the rising wind whistled
dsmally through the pines. One by one the
lamps in the lighthouses were lit The yacht
was speedily becoming a black shapeless
figure against the horizon, and her lights
twinkled feebly over the rolling waters.
With lightning rapidly, the past was re-

future still covered with the mists of I'M
certainty that hung over it more heavily

enormous sum- This sum he felt it his
sacred duty to repay And he must again
return to his lowly and despised duties

Miss Belle Oorley, maiden lady
of this neighborhood met with a
terrible deathllast Friday. Miss
Belle has been for two or three
years both bodily and mentally,
very much afflicted and
although perfectly quiet and
harmless, yet had to be watched
carefully. She happened to be left
alone for few moments when
some one OF the family hearing her
scream ran into the room and
found her enveloped in flames.
She was burned so badly that she
died the evening of the same day
at 7p. IN. She was burned at IL

had a great many friends

just above the brest bone, very
vicious, depraved ulcer, of what
character / know not, but pro-
nounced lupus. 1t had extended
inwardly near to the vital organs
and there was danger of mediate
consequence. My family physi-
clan, man Of age and experience,
had treated it without any Inn
provement. / appealed to Drs.
Reynolds, of Nashville. Their
remedies at once arrested the fur
ther progress of the disease; soon
the sore began to heal and in six
weeks it was entirely healed and
all effected without pain. l most
cheerfully bear witness TO their skill
and successful treatment of myself
and others by Drs. Reynolds and
give to the public my belief that
they are reliable and skillful in
their profession.
