had missed the words pronounced to
them and had sat down, Cyrus was still
standing. Miss Ware, the teacher, now
began pronouncing the most difficult
words in the book, and ten minutes
later every contestant had been spelled
down but, Cyrus and his cousin, Louis
Drake, boy about the age of Cyrus.
This was rather a singular coinci-
dence, and one with sorrowful side
to it, for, although Cyrus and Louis
were own cousins, they were at bitter
enmity and did not speak to each
other. Their fathers, who were broth
ers, had quarreled over the division of
their fathers property several years
before the time this story opens, and
the quarrel had extended to the men,
bers of both families. They held no
communication with each other, al
though each brother, in the calmer
reflection that had come after the quar-
rel, had seen wherein he had been in
the wrong. But they nursed their bit
terness and gave no token of regret
or of desire for reconciliation.
Cyrus and Louis looked defiantly into
each others faces. They held their
heads erect, with their arms folded on
their breasts. The enmity existing be-
tween the two families was known to
everyone in the room; and the perfect
silence gave way to excited whispers
and a general stir as the two boys
| faced each other.
In the midst of the excitement Miss
| Ware pronounced the word t.tesse1late'
for Cyrus to SPELL. He spelled it while
the whispering and general murmur OF
excitement were still unabated. and
Misst Ware, holding, up her hand; as a
signal for silence, said:
"Silence, pleased"
When perfect silence reigned she
said to Cyrus: y%.
Il am not quite sure that under

Cyrus was silent for moment. H&
bit his lip and then replied:
= II spelled it with two Is"
THAT was right said Miss Ware
Louis you may spell 'propylon.'"

What a PeninsuIs Editor Says

The Monitor, published at
Hampton, a few miles east of
here and one Of the "Old'' Pc
ninsula towns, which, by the
efforts OF such men as Editor
Elan, is forEing to the front
with rapid strides, has this TO
say about the apple industry:
The Monitor last week pub
lished a small item 10 the effect
that Il was said that 8 man in
Aloemarle county got $4,000
for his crop Of apples. News
nOw comes that a farmer in
Rappahannock county received
fer this years crop of apples
8, 900 cash as they hung on the
trees, and there are hundreds Of
other farmers in the State who
have equally "a good orchards,
the prices for whose crops are
unknown. a farmer in Amelia
county realized $50 for an acre
orchard Of York Imperial apples
Virgiriz apples sent 10 Lon
don last season sold for $50
more per barrel than any other
apples-and yet some people
claim that a living can barely be
made az farming in Virginia
and q cents can't be raised &c
pay taxes.
Editor Fam knows why the
majority Of Virginia farmers
like the majority IF farmer:
everywhere for that cry con
tinuslIy Hard times, no money
no demand" Editor Elan
stated ia his paper some time
ago that a farmer ia the coont,
brought three barrels Of earl,
cabbage to Hampton for which
the owner received Sl5, or 8
per barrel. This was one o
the early bird-gets-the worm

is the glorious part OF the Pc

Ii is not intrequent, here for
him to buy corn to fatten bis
hogs, oats and hay Tor his stock.
Or he may have no stock, buy
his butter and milk and meat
and sell his corn, etc. Now why
shouldn't this class of farmers
declare that "27 cents can't be

We have on the Peninsula
