The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-05-24

You see Stella still thought the long
suffering editors were to blaine, and
that her sweet Nelly's fortune would
be made if an unprejudiced one, with
Judgment and right principle, could
just be found!
The story was beautifully copied,
but Nell was aghast at the price that
Stella coolly told her she paid for it.
Nellys faith had now waXed faint,
and, after the first week, cold chill
ran through her every time she heard
the thump of the falling mail. One
morning, while reading to her mother,
she heard the dull thud on the porch,
and going out found that a. sample of
"complexion wash" had almost given
her a nervous chill! Another time,
while serving luncheon to her mother
and friend, her appetite forsook her
completely, and she felt faint as she
heard the constantly expected sound.
She found only roll of circus papers,
but still had the sick feeling that
dread gives one. On a Saturday, hav-
ing sung the mother to sleep, they
were humming a new chant when
Nells strained nerves heard the
thump! Color and voice forsook her
and Stella looked up inquiringly.
'"Stella,' she whispered hoarsely,
there it is again!"
''What?"- You look as if you had seen
a ghost!''
But Nell was on the porch and back
in an instant, bringing two MS. book
Add DOVES from modern ark.
ing envelopes. She exclaimed rue
fully,
'"They have sent back two!"
At this Stella covered her face and
giggled convulsively, then gasped,
Glow could they, when you only
sent one?"
Nelly joined in the suppressed merri-
ment, which increased when they
found that one contained a cloak cir
cular and the other directions about
becoming beautiful. Quieting down,
Nelly said,
81 am too anxious for success to re-
lieve us from this strain, and think 1
dwell on it. too much. I must try
something else TO divide the interest.
I saw in the Tennis Killer that prizes
have been offered for the longest lists
of words made from the word fasci-
mates; the amounts range from one
hundred dollars down; so, while moth
err sleeps, [ shall work at that; it will
not take long and will put another
iron in the fire.
This was how the spelling "dove"
went forth; then spare moments were
put in a new story, and the thumps
had less time for disas trous effects.
Again, after weary days, the first
dove, still failing to find a resting
place, for the sole of it's foot, flew back
third time, and, instead of the hoped
for Solve leaf," came a. few kindly
lines from the editor, saying that
though there was some merit in her
story, she must do good reading, learn
to think, practice much, condense, ct
cetera, before she could hope to sue

Russia possesses the largest stand
ing army ON earth. Every year some
100000 conscrpts join the Russian
forces, which in time of peace number
100000 men. On war footing this
rises to 2,5OO,0O0, and calling out the
present reserves would increase it to
6,947, 900 we'll trained soldiers. Should
necessity arise the militia would be
called out, bringing the czar's forces
UP to 100000 men.

looked very thoughtful for some time,

the plot and the style over time and
again during the night and in the day,
and / know that both are excellent!
But here comes Charlotte; she is older
and knows great deal about such
Things. Read it to her and perhaps
she cam help u.s."
A dashing, self-conlfdent young
woman entered; and the whole thing
was explained and the story read to
her. She was bright talking, super
fetal girl, but thoroughly true and
good hearted.
'Now, Charlotte" said Nelly, earn
estly, "tell us exactly what you think,
just as if we had nothing to do with
it,"
Nelly" exclaimed Charlotte, impul-
sively, you have taken my breath
from me! / never dreamed that you
could write such "a story! In some
places it like Thaddeus of Warsaw
and The Children of the Abbey it is
so thrilling and pathetic! don't be-
ieve that man ever read it, unless"
she added, ''his stories are adj written
by his sisters and his cousins and his
aunts which makes him independent
of outside help; otherwise, he certain
ly would have taken this!" After a
careful inspection of the MS. she add
ed, II read the other day that MSS.
should be copied on small paper, only
ON one side, and that margins an inch
wide should be left. Copy it over, Nell,
and send it back to this very same edi-
tor, for, on second Thought, believe
this is why he did not read it. When
he does read it, l know that he will
take it! Change the name from Rip
piles on the Sea of Life to 'Tempests
in Teapot Your name is pretty,
but little sentimental. Then, too, if
the editor remembers it, he might not
give it an appropriated reading"
elbow clever Charlotte is, and how
her sense and Judgment helped us!''
was the grateful thought of the girls,
as they remembered how that capable
young woman had, as they firmly be-
leved, removed the distractions to
success.
CharIotte's advice was taken; then
came more weary weeks of waiting
when, 10! one bright mornig the dove
again returned to the ark, after HAY
ing, apparently, battled with the ele-
ments, for it's plumage was, :iguara-
lively speaking, draggled and torn.
AS poor Nelly turned it tenderly in
her hands she wondered how it had
become so abused, and thought, sor-
rowfully, of another weary copying;
but as she would seek a new editor,
she need not hunt for another name.
The consulting committee met, and,
as if summoned by the need, friend
Charlotte appeared just in time to
make quorum, as she said,
81 came this afternoon because
