..Lrown checked Bingham, as clean as
oossib.e; you could see the folds where it
had ben ironed. She wore a shade hat
with strings, which were tied in a prim
bow under a rather square chin.
She looked up and caught Marcia's
s.a.sncs.

", "and l have hat in my trunk. | hope
you won't insist on my putting strings on
it,"
"Ohr' replied the other, "you can wear
what you have a mind to; | don't care"
''You need not be surprised" she went
on, ''if folks look pretty sharp at you.

a hammock for you. All the summer
boarders | ever heard of loved to set in
them"
And Marcia assured her she loved ham
mOcks, and did not care for room, as she
intended to live out of doors most of the
time.
People did stare when they met them,
and presently the horse was brought to a
standstill by Martha before the gate of a
low red house on the side of hill, and she
told her companion she had got home.
"Youlgo in the front door," said she, land
l will get somebody to help me out with
your trunk, and carry the horse home. Go
in and turn to the left. won't be but a
minute"
Marcia followed directions, and found
herself in a large front room. The floor
was painted yellow, and was so clean it
shone; various worn places were trying To
hide under braided mats, and everything
was spOtlessly clean. Between the two
front windows a table was set for two.
"Her dining-room," she said to herself,
cor her kitchen, as she caught sight of a
small cook-stove. A door opened between
the side windows, and Marcia saw piazza
with hammock in a shady corner. There
was homemade lounge in one part OF
the room. and she sat down on it, think
ing she would not remove her bonnet I'M
til she went to her room.
And then Martha came in; she united
her hat-strings with nervous hands.
81 don't know how to tell YOU" she
said, "but this is all the house I've got. |
know it's ridiculous for me to think OF
taking bOarder, but I've got to earn some
money somehow, and there didn't seem to
be any other way"
She held out her hands, and Marcia saw
that they trembled. 81 will do well by

what it will be to me"
There was something in the wOman''
face that touched Marcia. "She is il

Disappearing behind the station for

For Marcia had insisted on the COW be-

named her at Martha's request. Sultana
was the rather high-tlown name she had be-

it just the right name, as, indeed she
would have if Marcia had called her Peter

COUNTERFEITER BAGGED.
Clever Capture Made by Sheriff Erick-
son of Harris County.


Houston. Tex, Jan. 1S.-(Special.)-
Sheriff Albert Erickson, who did such
fine detective work in arresting the gang
of bank burglars who have been terroriz-
ing Texas and Louisiana, tonight made
another clever capture of u counterfeiter
he has been shadowing for a month. In
December James Watkins approached a
young man named Patton, asking him to
become his partner. The youth informed
his brother and they told Sheriff Erich
son. He told young Patton to form the
partnership and keep him advised, which
he did. A house was rented on Washing
ton street and work begun. Tonight
everything was ready and Sheriff Erich
son swooped down on the house, where
he found Watkins at work. He pulled
down on him with his pistol and ordered
his immediate surrender. Sheriff Erich
son seized seven moulds 5000 in spurious
silver coin and a large quantity of metal.
The molds were very fine ones. There is
standing reward by the United States
government of $500 for each mold cap
tured. so Erickson will be well repaid for
his work, as he will get $4,000. Watkins
is painter by trade, but where he came
from to Houston is not known.

THE WEATHER,

Galveston, Jan. 22.-(Special)- 1.-The

We're made. In fact, it was a golden Op-
portunity that few of the aspiring orators
let slip. Every young fellow in the house
saw an opportunity of making capital
out of the deal and he went at it with
Il vengeance. Oratory quivered round the
walls and galleries of the house until it
seemed as though the air was charged
with it. The dearly beloved Populsts
only had 21 men at their beck and call
to the support of Nugent and while they
knew that they We're waging hopeless
battle this matter did not in the least affect
their eloquence or their power of endur-
ance.
AS one after another of the Democrats
Ill the house made speeches favoring Hor-
ace Chiffon the dear Populists offset the
speech by one showed in by one of their
| own MEMBERS Owing to this fact, when
halt was called to speech making the
dear Populists shared honors with the
Democrats on the number of speeches.
thus illustrating the fact that while the
Populists could not stand on the same foot
ing with the Democrats as to number,
they took no back seat when it come to
oratorical persuasion.
When the vote was taken it resulted
in ChiltOn's securing 101 Nugent 81 and
Speaker Smith 1 vote. In this connec-
ton an explanation is due as to how
| Speaker Smith secured one vote and it
is as follows: When the name of Smith
of Colorado was called that gentleman
who is of Republican persuasion and ebony
hue, arose and explained his vote He
stated that he believed in keeping as
many good things as possible in your own
family and in view of this fact he cast
his vote for r. S. Smith, the speaker
These remarks brought down the house
and Smith of Colorado was voted the
palm as having made the best speech of
the day.

zen, who is devoting his time and money
to continuing an experiment begun here
in 1877 by General Ledue, COMMISSIONS
of Agriculture under President Hayes.
When the latter went out of Office the en-
terprise was practically abandoned, and
n 1855. when DR.. Shepard Went to sum
merville, he found everything in a dis
couraging condition with the exception
of thousands of lusty young tea niarts
winds had blown from tbs ola plan.s
in every direction.
He bought the place, cleared off the
ubbish and the weeds and commenced
an analytical study of the character and
habits Of the plant. He imported also
various kinds of Oriental seeds from
Japan, China, Ceylon, Formosa and
other places until he had twenty acres
of various varieties of the tea plant, with
which he is experimenting to ascertain
those most suitable for the climate, and
the method of their cultivation. During
1894 he produced 500 pounds of excellent
black tea, which sold for Sl.20 a pound in
Summerville and Charleston and about
$3.50 a pound. During 1895. if conditions
are favorable, he expects to reach con-
clusions as to climate, cultivation, fert;l-
izing, etc, which he believes will be of
practical value to the farmers of the
United States.
