secretary Of the treasury, his object, as
he told me, being to try to borrow nlon-

get on farm as a means of support to
his family. l inquired CT him if he TN
derstood farming. He said he had 20
experience in farming; that nc had nc
profession but that of engineer, and
that there was no opening fer him III
that line, and he saw no othe, way Of
supporting his family except on farm.
He was then III a destitute condition
financially. I said to hil:l that under

wealthy and asked him if they knew
of his condition. His answer was, in
character with his past actions, that

from him

had been subjected. I saw him no more,

Charlottesville was recommended by
General Rhodes for promotion. Had
he lived a few weeks longer he would
have been made a brigadier-gen eral.
In May, 1894, the cornerstone Of a
monument in memory of the Confeder-
ate dead was laid in Raleigh, n. c.
On that occasion, and upon invitation
of the committee in charge, Mrs. Chris
tie was an honored guest, and occupied
a seat on the stage with those who de-
live1ed the addresses. She was spe-
cial guest at that time of Mr.. Claudius
B. benson and DR.. Vines E. Turner,
quartermaster of Colonel Christie's
regiment. She was shown many cour-
tesies, and received special attentions,
of which she loves to speak with the
kindest remembrances and highest ap-
precia ton.
Two of Colonel Christie's children
still survive. One of them, Harvey L.
Christie, is lawyer of distinction, re-
siding in St, Louis. The other is the
wife of William Eley, a merchant in
Suffolk.

Ronald was quite mistaken in think
ing that 1vey was quietly sleeping. In
reality she was nearly wild with ankle
ty. She was too we'll bred to display
emotion before her friends, but long
after they were sweetly sleeping, she was
picturing Ronald dead, with his hand
some face upturned to the pitiless
stars, his curly hair wet with dew and
the tender eyes, which had never
looked other than lovingly into hers,
closed forever.
She could not sleep and next morn
ing found her too i'll to rise. Her bed
was near window and as she looked
out at the sunshine, as it danced among
the flowers, she saw Lara and his mas
ter coming slowly up the lane. She
gazed at the welcome sight long
enough to assure herself that it was in

the bed clothes, almost fainting for
joy. Nina came in radiant as the

Then she noticed Ivey's pale face and
started back in alarm, "Why, Ivey, you

"No, no, do not do that" Ivey
pleaded, "it is nothing but slight
headache. Tell Mr.. Thurston that

ExcelIencies of Salt.

If the feet are tired or painful after
long standing great relief can be had
by bathing them in salt water. A
handful of salt in gallon of water i:
the right proportion. Have the water
as hot as can comfortably be borne
Immerse the feet and throw the water
over the legs as far as the knees with
the hands. When the water becomes
too cool rub briskly with flesh towel
The method if used night and day will
cure neuralgia of the feet.
Carpets may be greatly Frightened
by first sweeping thoroughly and then
going over them with clean cloth and
clear salt water.
Salt asa tooth powder is better than
almost anything that can be bought.
1t keeps the teeth brilliantly white and
the gums hard and rosy.
If after having a tooth pulled the
mouth is filled with salt and water ii
will allay the danger of having hem
orrage.
10 clean willow furniture use salt
and water. Apply it with nail
brush, shrub we'll and dry thoroughly.
When broiling steak throw a little
salt on the Goals, and the blaze from,
the dripping fat will not annoy.
Damp salt will remove the discolor-
alton of cups and saucers caused by
tea and careless washing.
Brass work can be kept beautifully
bright by occasionally rubbing with
salt and vinegar.

The Voice of Experience.
TAtianta JOurnal.l

We are not willing to believe that
the farmers of the South will be so
blind to the plain suggestions of their
experience this year. They are in a
distinctly better condition than they
were year ago. The explanation of
this fact may be given in one sentence.
1t is because they planted less cotton
and raised more provisions. They can
improve their condition still further
next year by simply keeping in the
middle Of the road on which they have
been moving SO smoothly this year.
Such crop Of cotton as the South
raised last year means five cent cotton
or less; such cotton crop as the South
produced this year means eight cent
cotton or better. The one represents
nothing as the result of the farmers
toll, and possibly a loss; the other
means good profit.

CHAPTER XIII.

When the soft cleaning stole over
the beautiful landscape we are now so
familiar with, it found Ronald again
at Wild Rose Cottage. He sat on the
porch with Ivey, Mrs. Vivienne and
Nina having very considerably left
them alone. Ivey had recovered from
her recent indisposition and looked
very sweet with the wild rose bloom Of
hope tinging her soft checks, the pure
light of happiness shining in her splen-
did eyes. They were conversing as
lovers will when they are, in few
short weeks to be made one.
"You are quite llltle heiress now,
Ivey,' Ronald remarked at length. 81
read your fathers will this morning
and he lief, quite large sum Of money
to you at y'ut mother's death"
"Dld he?' Ivey said calmly. She
was far more interested III her love for
Ronald than III her fathers money.
Her promise to h-r dead mother being
fulfilled she IL, longer gave it a
thought.
Every morLl". now, Lara, hitched
to light buggy, could be seen stand
ing at Wild Rose Cottage gate and
presently Ronald and Ivey dashed
down the beautiful country roads, their
cheeks glowing with health and exer-
else in the pure, fragrant air. Nina
was in her eleme mt and fairly reveled
in the love and happiness going on
about her, and taking all young
girls interest in experimenting lvey's

The twentieth Of June was fixed for
the wedding day and on the eighteenth
Ronald came over and took them all
to see Aunt ahe for they were to leave
J on an extensive bridal tour directly
after the ceremony and Aunt Jane
begged to see Ivey and Ivey in turn
longed to see Aunt Jane. They fell
mutually in love with each other and
Aunt Jane begged "Ronnie" after
they left not to stay long in the North
but to hurry back to cheer her up with
the beautiful face OF his fair young
| BRIDE.
The twentieth of June dawned fair
and beautiful. Nature donned her
fairest robes and wore her sweetest
smiles in honor of Ivey's wedding day.
The fresh, morning air was musical
with the sweet, rolling carols of many
fea1hered songsters. Millions OF
bright, beautiful flowers seemed to
nave sprung up to decorate the road
along which she had TO pass. Huge
oaks which grew on either side,
stretched their gnarled arms protect
ingly above her, jealous Of the sun, who
was shining his brightest in her honor
The bridal party, consisting Of Ivey,
Aunt Jane, Mrs. Vivienne, Nina and
several of Ronald's friends, had reached
the picturesque little church. The
white haired pastor, who had known
Ronald since boyhood, had made then
one, his voice trembling with emotion
as he realized the solemni,y Of the Of
fee he was performing. He turned
and congratulated them, smiling int
Ivey's blushing face.
Then they entered their carriage
again and as they reached Campto'
the noon express steamed in. Their
