formidable armament, the eyer-handy
revolver. The preliminary arrange

ers with the dogs were sent out on their
important duty, which they performed
with vast deal OF shouting and horn
blowing. These sounds became fainter
and fainter as the men increased their
distance from the line of waiting sports
men.
It was tedious work waiting. and I
began to think, as the time passed, that
there was but little game in this yaunt-
ed preserve. But, even as this thought

they stopped, as though carved in stone,
listening with ears erect and wide-

time shifting the tainted air. Then. as
though actuated by common impulse,
the beautiful creatures bounded for
ward and were lost In the recesses Of
the forest. Il took all my self-com-
mand to refrain from shooting, but to
do so would have spoiled all chance Of
shot at boar, not to speak of the abb
jurgations and maledictions Of the
whole party.
Presently heard shot, then reg
ular fusilade, accompanied by loud
shouts and the baying of hounds, and I
surnised that boar must have bit the
dust. Again, all was silence. Still moth

hounds. 1t was critical moment while
the boar stood at bay. To reach my
rife before the boar would be upon me
was clearly impossible, and there was
nothing for me to do but to stand my
ground and await the onslaught of the
enraged and ferocious brute, rendered
doubly savage by the wound In his
chest. AS he stood eyeing me with his

!, She was gleeful as child when Basil
praised her dress at tea time, having, al
my suggestion, worn a soft, white null
with scarlet flashing in her jetty braids
at her throat and belt. She pouted q
little, because I would not allow but
one bright color, but was obedient.
But after that, watching them both
I knew there could be no happiness IN
the hasty marriage. The glamour was
gone from Basil's eyes, and he was
ashamed of his wife. His love cooled
and his perfect gentleness and tender
care never deceived her for one mo-
ment.
! think If he had beaten her and then
caressed her she would have borne II
| better than she bore his uavarying
kindness. after his love was gone.
.sHe does not love me. He has wearied
OF my beauty, and had nothing else to
Lowell"
That was ever the refrain Of her pite.
ous plants, and Basil vainly tried to
revive the dead love in his heart.
''She has but mel" he said to me once.
IF made mistake it was no fault OF
hers, poor darling. She shall never
know have enc regretl" .s
And he might as well have tried to
hide q bonfire under napkin. By the
intuition of love, Nell knew the change.
She had been year married, wearing
herself out with her own vehemence,
when her baby came to her. ] hoped
motherhood would soften her, would
tame her, for she was wild and beauti-
full as a leopard.
With the same fierce, unreasoning
passion that gave her life every i'm
pulse, she loved her boy, sickly, feeble
child, that she would almost smother
with kisses and caress so violently
that he would whimper, as if being
hurt.
Every day she talked about the boys
future, the grand things to be done for
him, the education he was to have, that
Basil might never be ashamed Of him
as he is of me-" Her whole hope lay In
the, child's life, and we knew the feeble
spark would never live to be bright
light.
AS the child drooped the mother
faded. She would be well soon, soon,
she told me every day, and every day
the little fellow lay more lightly upon
my arms; the little face grew more
pinched and wan.
One morning she drew me down upon
the pillow her head he'd never left since
her boy was born. and whispered:
Basil kissed me with his heart this
morning. He loved me in that kiss. All,
II I could die now before he ceases to
love tmei''
She sobbed, not with the old passion,
she was too weak for that, but feebly.
as if from @ breaking heart.
"You do not wish to die and leave
your boy2'' said. ~
IT would not leave him! Hewould go
with mel" she said, with quiet convic-
ton.
And we knew it would be- SO. There
was nothing to build health upon, the
doctor told us, and Ellen faded away,
not quickly, but surely.
But, lying upon her deathbed, day
after day, she was intensely happy, not
with the ftful flame Of old. but with a
calm, deep JOY infinitely pathetic to
witness.
stBasil loves mel"
That was the keynote to her happi-
ness. He had never failed in gentleness,
but, realizing that he must soon lose
her, his love came back to comfort her.
He could not have deceived her, weak
as she was. Only the true love she had
lost, the love. that was her life, could
have answered the hunger Of her heart.

Raising the Race Question.
Greenville News: Tom Miller, ar
ex-congressman from this state and &
colored person, also president of q
state college, sent his daughter te
Eastman Business college at Pough
keepsie, N. Y, and it is reported thai
the authorities of the college declined
to admit her. The truth is that in
the north the aversion to any degree
of social contact with the Negro by
the white people is not less strong than
| it is in the south, and the "civil rights
statutes that exist in those enlighUen
ed regions are not worth the paper
that they are written upon. Miller, il
is stated, will enter suit against the
Eastman college, and we shall not be
surprised if he obtains verdict. But
the upshot of it will be that his daugh
ter will find life in northern schoo
scarcely endurable. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that intelligent Negroes lack
the discretion that should prevent
them from forever pressing the race
question to the front.
