tones, and knowing no distinction be
tween that method Of expression and the
conventional form in use in the army.
"Who-why-I can't understand.
You don't mean he's suspected Of the

he-gone?'
"He hasn't gone. He's here in his
room." said Miss Maynard with break

"Oh," said Mrs. Turner, disappoint-

placed under arrest, you mean. Oh,
that's SO different, but what for-why?'
And the eagerness in the fair lady face
and tone was unmistakable
"He will not tell" answered Miss
Maynard, land that is why I'm certain
it is-on that girls account. She has
led him from one trouble into another.

But Mrs. Turner's ministrations
were all too brief and uncomforting.
They consisted in a sharp and rapid fire
Of cross questions which evoked none of

or even as to the allegations, and Mrs
Turner lost her accustomed equipoise in
finding she was losing time. Nothing
more sensational had occurred at Rus

Of being the first to break the news to
half dozen households might be lost to
her entirely if she did not act at once.
She longed for Mrs. STANDARDS reap

obstinately closed.
When it became apparent that Miss
Maynard really knew nothing about the
matter and that it was useless to ques-

Thoroughly aroused lady decided that
she must 60, and go at once. So, despite
her cherished friends Inconsistencies
she babe her adieu, declaring she had
faithfully promised to be at Mrs. Rays
20 minutes ago, and so fastened to the
door, only to be there confronted by
sight that gave her pause. Mr.. Warner,
the acting adjutant, accompanied by a
stout party in gray business suit, had
just entered the gate and met her face
to face.
Warner politely raised his cap and
smilingly asked if they could see Mrs.

know, but would inquire. So she re-

Miss Maynard went into the dining
room and tapped at Mrs. Stannard s

resulted in the information that Mrs
Stannard had stepped out through the
kitchen and gone around to Mrs. Bar

questionings, and flush that extended
beyond the customary limits was on
that injured lady's face as she commu-

that they would probably find Mrs.
Stannard at Mrs. Barry's, next door.
Should she go and call her? Warner
said no, thanks, they had also to see
Mr.. Maynard, and they would go
right up to his room. And go they did,
leaving her and Miss Maynard gazing
after them up the narrow stairway and
listening for the colloquy that would
follow the knock at the young officers
door. They heard him say almost
heartily: "Oh, come right in, Warner!
I'm SO glad you're here," aud then,
with certain GOODNESS and hesitation:
"Why, certainly, if you say sol Come

TIE WRESTLING BOY.

IL there a sound In the world so sweet. on Q
dark and dreary morn,
When the gloom without meets the gloom
within, TIL We wish we'd not been
born,
As the sound Of little barefoot boy gayly
whIstlIug In the rain,
While he drives the cows to pastures
green. down the path iE the muddy
lane?
The Joy OF boy Is a funny thing, not damp
ened by autumn rain:
His clothes and his hands and his sturdy
feet are not spoiled by CRIME or stain
The world to him Is a wonderful place that
he means some day to explore;
IL there's time to play and plenty 10 eat
who cares IL the heavens pour?
Oh. that CHEEKY trill OF a heart as fresh as
the drops that clear the air
Brings a smile to our lips, and clears the
soul OF the gloom that brooded there;
And we bless the boy as he spats along
through rivers of rain and mud,
For the hope and cheer In that whistled
note would rainbow the sky In fiood.

During the past week the tempers-
turc was above the normal and the rain
fall was unequally distributed over the
State. Cotton has grown too rapidly
and the plant is not fruiting well, owing
to the excess of moisture IN many sec
tions, which has also prevented its
proper cultivation and development.
Too much grass, we'd and shedding

donment of the crop In some cases
There are many favorable reports, how

SOME of the European papers are wor-
rying over the Cuban debt, inasmuch
as the bonds are largely held outside of
Spain. II should be borne in mind
that Spain is the party of the first part
TO those bonds, the Cubans being in no
sense responsible for the acts of the
mother country, as they had no voice
in the matter. 1t is to Spain that the
bondholders will have to look for their
money, and having lost the collateral
by the arbitrament of war she will
either have to repudiate the debt or
hunt up new collateral. In any event
