AT SUNRISE.

Miss Stella remained delirious all
through the night.
When she became conscious of her
surroundings the sun was shining
upon her. She slowly recalled her
wanderings and her terrors and then
comprehended her position.
With extreme and laborious difficult
ty, in excruciating pain. she drew her.
self, crawling, to the top of huge
rock near which she had fallen, and
thence looked about, hoping to see
some one to whom she could appeal
for assistance; or some habitation
whence help might be expected to is
sue. Her survey was uprewarded by
any helpful discovery, and leaving the
rock she attempted to get up and walk;
but the effort was useless; she could
not even stand without grasping a
sturdy bush for support.
Forced to abandon her efforts to
walk, she sat upon the ground and
carefully examined her Injured limb
which was greatly swollen. With diff
fculty she removed the shoe and stock
ing and found that the ankle was dis
located; and she feared that she had
also sustained fracture of the knee,
though the Inflammation was so extern
sive and the pain so acute, so diffused
and so equal at all points that she
could not determine with certainty.
Having considerably relieved her
pain by releasing the foot and limb
from the pressure of the shoe and hos
iery; she ate the fruit she had brought
from Lessons, hoping that it would
.impart a little strength. Remember
ing that persons suffering from sprains
and Commissions are relieved somewhat
of pain by bathing the wounds in cold
water, she again crawled upon the rock
to look about her, hoping to discover
a spring or streamlet within her reach.
This time, from her observatory she
saw what had before escaped her OBJ
servation; stone hut with an odd
looking door, covered with scraps OF
iron. So distinct, SO plainly visible,
so conspicuous was the structure that
she could not comprehend how it was
possible for her to have failed to see
it before. Indeed, so impossible did
it seem to overlook the hut that she
felt a superstitious doubt about its
reality and feared that she was again
becoming delirious. Inspection cum
WINGED her of it's substantial character
and she said aloud:
No one lives there now; but some
one has lived there or stopped there
at work and if l can each the door
will be able to discover a path to their
source of water supply. Then l can
find a path to the road after | have
bathed my limb and reduced the SWELL
ing and l can soon reach some place
where help can be found. Surely there
is water near that queer old hut! Ho-
mer, dear, | wish that you were here
with your gallant steed; you should
bear me away TOTO the altar"
Descending from the rock she picked
up a stick and tried to use it as q
crutch.
Almost at her first step she fell and
tainted.

On the day that the adjutant had
that startling interview with Mrs. Ze-
NTH and Miss Stella, detachment was
among the hills. About five miles
from town they came upon an odd
structure which at once interested
them. 1t was long, low hut; its
thick walls and arched roof all built
of heavy stones. There was no win
dow. The door was clad in promis-
cuous patchwork o. iron that had the
appearance of having been gathered
from different scrap heaps at different
periods.

The nomination of MT. s. c. Martin to fill the vacancy in the State Senate caused by the death of the late Senator w. P. Grace, was q fitting and deser Sed compli- ment to Mir. Martin and one that should be appreciated by himself and friends. h the selection of Mir.

His experience as lawyer and his long experience as prosecuting attorney have familiar ized him especially with the State criminal laws, which are sorely in need of revision. He is a speaker and parlamentarian Of splendid abilities, and will prove a credit to this district in the higher branch of the State Legislature. Indeed, the people of Jefferson county are fortunate in securing him for their Senator.

Corn is begin ing to need rain, and unless 1t occurs within few days upland corn will suffer.
 Wheat and oats thrashlng con tinues, both crops turning out a large yield of good quality of grain except in the northwest section, where these crops are disappoint- ment.
