The May afternoon was moro than
warm-it was hot. Summer had hur-
ried into the world, unexpected and
uniavited. Perhaps that was what
made Jasmyn Meredith lend little
pink ear to something she had re-
solved over and over that she would
not hear-the passionate, illogical, al-
together absurd love making of q
young fellow who would not have
taken his university degree till a
month later on. He was twenty-one,
to be sure, and she was only eighteen,
but at eighteen girl believes herself
already woman.
She listened, and then she said,
with a smile: "Why, you are a
boy!'
81 wise boy" he answered, "who
knows enough to love you, and who
will have all the longer time in which
to love you, because he begins early"
srm glad you are to be lawyer, +"
she answered somewhat irreleyantly,
as it seemed to Robert Marsh.
"Why?" he ventured.
"Recause I now see that you have,
after oil, a logical mind. Your powers
of argument might be thrown away in
any other profession. And then she
added: "It takes good while to
get admitted to the bar"
eft shan't take very long in my
case" he answered, elf you will
promise me my reward for making
haste"
s.oh, yes" she said, 'I will ceme
to court and hear your first plea"
"That!' hecried, little scornfuily,
'sNo, / want you TO listen in private
to my first argument, and be con-
yinced by il"
"Ab, but you are not lawyer Jet
you must wait"
"You can keep me waiting as long
as you please-it is for you to say
but have told you that I love you.
You can't get away from that I'll
trust you to remember, and when any
other man tells you the same story. I
Il will be his Judge. You shall
think of my love and my words, and
you shall ask yourself whether he
loves you as we'll"
Jasmyn smiled at this outburst, and
then she said, with an air of sweet
toleration: "Dream your dream,
gentle youth it may keep you from
some worse folly!"
tAnd you will not even be here for
class dsy?"
'eNo; We sail on Saturday. Ny

more than half at heart. She is sigh

He looked for moment into her
eyes. His lips were athirst for her
but he knew her too we'll to venture
anything she would have the right to
resent. He contented himself with
hand clasp; but there was tone in
his voice she would not soon forget
as he said: ssYou will remember"

Three years went by, and still Mrs.
Meredith and her daughter had not
returned to America. Robert Marsh
heard OF their movements only through
the kind newspapers, for Jasmyn had
decreed that there should be no cor.
respondence.
She was social success in London,
where there were so many fair COM
petitors; but she deftly managed to
avoid proposals for the most part, and
when she had to say no, to say it so
gently IS to make no enemies. Her
mother had not interferred hitherto.
Mrs. Meredith was too wise woman
not to hasten slowly, but nowthe time
seemed to her to have come when o
son-in-law would be desirable.
'You are twenty-one now," she said
to Jasmyn.

easily remember my birthday, since
you also are Mayfower.

hut I, who have lived twice as long as
you, can see clearly that Lord Gains
ford is only waiting his opportunity to
ask you to be Lady Gainsford.
"rrhat old fellow !" cried Jasmyn
nreverently.
~ "He is thirty-nine," said Mrs.
Meredith, smiling" "That does not
seem SO venerable to most of the world
as it seems to you. Do you see any
thing else in him to complain of?

comes close TO 1t. The oldest is the Polly,
built In 1905, but no one would suspect
It. She was a privateer during the war
of 1872, and has a great history: but she s
still as trim and handsome as any school,
ner of her class. The Mayhower hasn't
been looked after as well and don't
suppose there are many captains who
would take her as a gift on condition
of sailing her from southwest harbor 10
Roston and back. and yet Capt Nutter
will go and come all right.
THE Mayfiower is a pretty old craft,
but she may be kept afioat for years to

the exception of the Polly, there's an
other schooner of her age now on the
Maine coast, or, for that matter, IN Amer

NOT TO REMOVE.
Ludden 4 Bates Expect to Increase
Their Savannah Business.

A rdmor having been circulated to the
effect that Ludden & Bates were about to
remove from Savannah, it is a pleasure
to announce on the authority of the off,
GERS of the firm, that there is no present
intention of removing the headquarters
of the house from this city. When asked
concerning the report, Mr. Bates said:
Ever since we began to establish large
branch houses in other cities we have
heard and read that we were about to re-
move from Savannah. The current rumor
very likely arises from the fact that van
Gus trade papers, which keep in touch
with the movements of the piano and or
gan trade, have announced that Ludden
& Bates would open in Atlanta, and this
has been construed to mean the aban-
donment Of Savannah. We are not given
to announcing our plans in advance, buzz
this much may be said: Our business Is
becoming more extended and more inn
portant. We are likely to establish our
selves in any large city where we think
our interests demand il, but we have no
intention of reducing our business here.
Quite the contrary. The fact is that we
shall show in our local wareroom at holi-
day time the greatest stock Of fine pianos
ever seen here. and are expecting a sharp
revival of city trade.
For some years we have realized the
necessity Of becoming manufacturers. We
have not only established our own fac
tory in New York city. but realizing that
no one piano could meet the demands OF
our extended trade, have made still more
intimate arrangements with some of the
makers with whom our names have beer.
associated for twenty years. These ar
rangements are such that we shall have
an actual interest as makers and shall
be i'm a position TO give our customers the
benefit of the lowest prices every known
for high-grade pianos and organs Our
wholesale and manufacturing interests are
such as TO make IL necessary for us TO
keep a large force in New York where
our treasurer Is located, and our finances
managed. II Is also quite possible thai
we may establish important houses else
where, but we have not the slightest in
tenuon OF abandoning Savannah or re-
ducing our business ia the south. In fact,
unless all signs Of revival fan, we shall
place more pianos IN the south the COM
ing year than ever before in the history

ARRIVAL OF THE ooMANcHE.
She Makes the Run From New York
I'm Over II Knots Per Hour.

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. THE Co
manche, the handsome new steel boat Of
the Clyde line. arrived in port this morn
ing and tied up at her dock at 1920
o'clock, having completed her initial voy-
age from New York to Jacksonville in
sixty hours. or at the rate of a fraction
over fourteen knots an hour The ship
remained in Charleston nine hours.
The arrival of the Comanche was look
ed upon by the people of this city as an
event of even more than ordinary impOr-
lance, for the reason that II had share
in creating conditions that necessitated
greater tonnage to carry the business
that has been built up in Jacksonville by
their enterprise, not only in the creation
of commerce, but in voting an appropria-
tion out Of their own pockets for secur-
ing such depth In the river as would float
such ships AS a result, when the big
ship came proudly up the river, cutting
path of foam, the docks were black
with people, who waved their handker-
chiefs and cheered and received cheers
in return from their friends on the new
conner. Mills and steamers blew long
blasts of welcome, which were answered
by the Comanche's deep-toned whistle
manche on her first trip. II would have
adjust their parts to smooth working
but, while the ship made only a fraction
over fourteen knots, the Clyde officials
expect that in the course of a few weeks
she will reel off from sixteen to seventeen
knots an hour

New Orleans, Dec. There were 1000
people present to-day and they kept the
fourteen books busy. The chief feature
of the day was the American Brewing
Company handicap, which resulted in a
hot contest from start to finish. Judith
c. made the running to the far turn,
where Logan went to the front. a length
before Buckwa, as they swung into the
stretch. Here there was general clos
ing up and Gov. Sheehan came through
on the inside and won by half a length
before Logan, who was the same dis
lance before Booze. Gov Sheehan and
Buckwa were even favorites in the bet
ting, and no other favorite won, so the
bookies left the track in good humor.
Bowling Green should have won. but

G. Johnson bumped him into nearly every

Ing the Life of BOY, Whose Neck
Was Broken.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Cleveland. o., Nov. 2S-Two Cleveland
surgeons OF national repute, Charles b.
Humiston and Samuel Z. Kaestlin, have
succeeded in a triumph of surgery which
will astound the medical world. They have
brought to a complete recovery Erwin Kei-
del, a H-year-old boy, who sustained a
complete fracture Of the third cervical
vertebra.
There is no case on record throughout
tha world where this has ever been ac-
complished before. The greatest surgical
text books cite but two cases of even par
tial recovery. Both are English cases, and
in one the victim died after fourteen
months suffering. and in the other after
fifteen years of pain.
In contradistinction the medical profess
sion here are unanimous in asserting that
young Keidel is now as physically perfect
as he was before the fracture of the ver-
zebra was made. The fracture he sustain
cd is exactly the same as that which ia
announced in the accounts of executions
by hanging wherein 1t is stated: The
neck was broken and death was instan-
taneous"
Erwin KeideI received his injury on Au-
gust p, when he was run over by heavy
wagon. The wheel in passing over him
doubled his head under his body, and the
neck Vertebra snapped with SOUND ike

DR.. Kaestlin was Immediately on the
scene. lie located the injury at once from
the fact that respiration had ceased. the
seat Of the respirative powers being To-
Gated between the third and second GER
Vical Vertebra.
Holding the boys headsso that the res
piration returned, the doctor drove with
him 10 the hospital. There Humist0n was
called and the two surgeons determined
to throw precedent aside and enter into
a struggle to save the boys life.
Delicate operations were entered into
with the object of having the fractured
vertebrac Knit, and then the boys head
was placed In an immovable iron cage,
while his body was also strapped down
immOyably. A month after the time OF
the accident the cage was removed and
the surgeons were amazed as much as
delighted to find that their hopes had
been entirely realized.

James O'NeilPs name is almost house
hold word in the theatrical world. His
popularity is not undeserved, because it
may be said of him that he has always
been loyal to his trust as artist. From
:he day that he carried a spear in For
rests company to the time when, as the
Savior in the Passion Play, during its
only production in this country, in San
Francisco, he sprung into national repu-
tation. His long association with Monte
Cristo is one of the traditions of the
American stage. This season he has in
cluded tragedy in his repertoire during
his forthcoming appearance. He will be
seen as Nirginius Tuesday night, while
Monte Cristo will be played Wednesday
night. Mr.. O'NeilPs first performance
of Virginius was given last season in San
Francisco. One paper went so far as to
say that not since the day of Mccullough
had San Francisco had an opportunity of
seeing a more worthy presentation of
this character. He was praised for his
exhibition of parental tenderness and care
in the earlier scenes as much as he was
laudated for his display of power, rage
and emotion in the latter acts 1t is
hardly possible to say anything new about
ONeilPs Edmond Dantes in Monte Cristo.
