CHAPTER III.


Surprise and perplexity seized upon
the very brutes in her kingdom when
Manager Martin S wife forgot to pull
the rope to the big plantation bell pre-
cisely as the harsh voiced clock on her
dining room mantelpiece struck the
hour of noon.
Duke, the overseer's favorite setter,
as spokesman for his less privileged
companions, got up from his recumbent
posture on the lowest step, stalked to-
ward her and looked into her face with
reproachful solemnity.
The occurrence was actually without
precedent. There was no room for error
ON his part, for he had been educated
by years Of practical experience into
knowledge Of the fact that when that
clock struck 10 it was Mrs Martins
imperious duty to seize the big rope fas-
tened to the big clapper of the big plan
tation bell, planted on a POST at the end
Of her front gallery, and set the bell
into ponderous activity.
In immediate consequence Of which
the silent and deserted quarter lot
would become the arena of an activity
thoroughly agreeable to Dukes degraded
social instincts.
Mules, burdened with loose jingling
trace chains and whistling plowboys,
would trot cheerfully through the lot,
requiring no spur, in the direction Of the
cribs, piled high with their monday al
lowance Of fodder or sweet smelling
pea hay. From the throats of 100 clum-
sy mud and earth chimneys the smoke
of culinary preparation would ascend
together floating lazily over the way
ing plumes Of the China trees that
formed long green avenue between the
two rows Of cabins Responsive to the
pungent odor Of frying bacon and boil
ing mustard green's" Dukes delicate
nostrils would culver approximately.
From his superior position on the gal
lery of the overseer's house he could
take in all this delightful midday stir
without detraction from his own digni-
ty. The browning delight, however,
the one in which he was himself most
Immediately concerned was the home
coming of Manager Martin and "the
boys"
No leisuroly dalliance before meal
time, no luxurious refreshment of per-
son before assembling at table, would
intervene between the home coming Of
the overseer and the boys and dinner.

low him. If the befowered arch had
been guillotine and the cedar ladder a
cleaning AK blade, Strong Martin could
not have experienced a more absolute
sense Of despair.
In a few incoherent sentences it had
been impressed upon him that suspicion
rested on him. That he, the plebeian
valediotorian, was accredited with the
morals Of q shoehlacA or chimney
sweep.
Mechanically he delivered himself of
the speech he had prepared with sopho-
moric pride Mechanically he listened
to the coldly formal words of common
dation spoken perfunctorily by the fac
ulty. Then he stepped down from the
painful consricuity of his position and
resumed his place on the front form
amid profound silence.
Not hand was extended to him i'll
congratulation. 1t was a barren tri-
umph. One message of sympathy reach
ed him. Only one. Over the heads of
the audience there came hurtling a sol
itary spray Of crimson pomceranate
flowers 1t came from the hand of
small boy, who grinned gleefully at his
own dexterity. 1t was sent by the heart
Of a girl who blushed furiously at her
own unsupported agency i'll the matter.
Strong Martin stopped and picked up
the red winged messenger of sympathy
with a hand that trembled visibly as he
fastened it in buttonhole Of his coat.
He would have liked to press his lips
to it in sheer gratitude, but feared to
make himself ridiculous
Commencement day of 1859 was over,
and the college robbery that had shaken
all Singleton to its nervous center
was still an unsolved mystery.

The spread of Kin,lersartens.

The little folks of this great and
glorious republic are well provided for
as far as kindergartens are concerned,
according to writer in the Woman 3
Journal. who says: There is no class,
sect. or race, now in the United States,
fer whom there are not kindergartens.
The movement has spread all over the
surface of the globe. They are to be
found, both public and private, in every
country in Europe. in India, and even
N Japan In Symna there is well-es-
tablished kindergarten under the
charge of Miss Bartlett of America. IL

successful that it created demand for
others all over Turkey. training

Miss Mary Kirk, translator of Portu-
guese in the bureau of American repub-
lies at Washington Her salary is ST.
800 a year The maximum salary paid
by the Government to women clerks is
81 800 per annum. But very few ever
receive it. The next is 5 500. and the
majority receive only 81 400 and $1,000.
In these positions there are many in
teresting personalities. Representa-
tives of famous families can be found
in every department, and some hold
positions of trust and responsibility.
Besides being the best paid, Miss
Kirk is among the youngest of the wo-
men who draw salaries from the Gov
ernment. Miss Kirk was born in Penn

a prominent member of the Friends So

Black spots on the Railways.

1t is a peculiar fact, but one well
within the knowledge of railway Off
cials. that no sooner is one person
found killed upon the line than other
similar fatalities may be expected at
the same spot. More especially does
this apply to places where are found
the bodies of persons mysteriously kill

A little over year ago an aged man
was discovered almost deeapitated upon
a Yorkshire railway. The discovery
was, in less than two months, follow
ed by the deaths of three others at the
same spot-an out-of-the-way one, to
which access was difIicult--under SINH
larly inexplicable circumstances.
At one place on a Midland line no
less than four people were found with
in twelve monthsall within ten yards
of the death-place of the first person
killed there, and all having ended their
lives with almost similar injuries. in

From these and similar instances
railway officials have arrived at the
conclusion that, however the first. per-
son is killed at any place, it immedi-
ately becomes point of attraction ia
morbid minded persons, in the locality
who seek it out for the purpose Of sui
eide. and now when any two persons
have been found in succession at ons

A Queer Custom.

A curious marriage custom obtains In
the island of Himla, just opposite the
island of Rhodes. The Greeks. by
whom it is peopled, earn their living
by the sponge fishery. No girl in this
island is allowed to marry until she
has brought up certain number OF
sponges, which must be taken from a
certain depth In some of the other
Greek islands this demonstration of
ability is required of the men, and If
there are several suitors for the hapd
of maiden her father bestows her ON
the man who can dive best and bring
up the largest number of sponges.
