An Extraordinary
Movement
in Lots.
The Situation Clearly Stated.

The season was opened with two or three
public sales on the east side, and very
nearly all of the eligible lots were taken
at fair figures. Most of these have been
built upon, and the others are held for
personal occupancy. The stock on that
side has been reduced to very few, which
the owens are holding at prices warranted
by the scarcity and their surrounding.
The home seekers and investors have
turned their attention to the west (of Bulb
side, and the movement has been more
pronounced because of the larger terri
tory. higher land and larger lots.
There are nine fine residences being con-
structed or part finished, as the beginning
of the movement westward.
In sixty days 1 have sold ninety-three
(93) lots west of Bull street.
The stock is being reduced every day,
and there is no source from which to re-
plenish it,
Scarcity and higher prices are the certain
consequences of this condition.
The eight lots advertised for sale at the
Court House Nov. z will be sold separately,
and are probably the last that will sell on
the west side at public outcry.

on the Sprite.
Barring the balcful eye Of Scammell, there
had been nothing 20 mar the proceedings in
making report in harmony with my story.
The Dragons silence and steady gaze were
"a tribe disconoerting and the knowledge Of
the captured black twho had been conveyed
TO the Sprite), coupled with the feeling that
Lounsbury might return 70 his senses and
spring mine beneath me- served to keep
my nerves az d tension which became we'll.

There had been a number in the elegant
cabin, but OF them wot not save that most
Of them got hot with liquor For sight Of il

| I had little heart in the mugh and lass
handshake TO the rest, and was about put
ting foot on the side steps to pass to the
Loaf that was swinging high and low on the
running seas, when my attention was caught
by the face of girl who rose through the
companion and stood startlingly clear
against the black background of the night.
The bright lamplght from the cabin flooded
and brought out every detail of her features.
IL was but the face and bust saw, the open
door cutting off the lower part OF her figure.
but twas the face of an angel, and for an in.
slant forgot TO move, looking at her as
would at beautiful picture.
And picture she made as she stood there

the delicate contour of chin and check, dark
eyes and clearly cut straight nose, but twas
the small mouth with its fine red lips half
open as though in inquiry that held me by
lts sweetness, while the mass Of auburn hair,
dressed high, as was the fashion Of the times.

them, Mrs. Badely, was the famous beauty

But that was before we took New York.
Why the ID can't | remember names"
Here again was mighty dangerous ground,
for Scammell was right, though KNEW moth
ing of it then nor until the war was over.
The spiling of the guns was an old story,
but it had been long agone, and was only
aware Of the bald fact However. l felt that
he had struck scent, which if followed up
(and | fancicd him the man for 10 might,
nay, would, be likely to drive me to bay.
IL was well, then, that at that moment
a recall gun sounded from the oii-lying
schooner. 1t seemed TO wake the lieutenant
to the fact that time had gone, and that the
sun was well toward ts setting. Without
more ado a guard was left on the vessel until
a report could be made to the captain OF the
Sprtc, and with the others / went along,
that l might again tell my tale and get my
knife-thrust into proper dressing.
