CHAPTER II.

Already we have reached the afternoon.
In these warm June days, when all the
earth Is languorous and glad with its own
beauty, time slips from Us unannounced,
and the minutes from morn to eventide, and
from the gloamins to nightfall, melt into
one another until all seem but one sweet,
heightened hour.
Certain stray little sunbcams, half wild
with glee, gushing hther and thther through
the roses, discover Miss Penelope Blake sit
ting in the drawingroom at MOyne. She is
dressed In he: very best lavender silk, that
would stand alone, and be glad to do ii If it
was let, but unabashed by her splendor
Apollo's saucy babies dance down upon her,
aud, selzing on her knittingncedles, play
hide-and-seek among them, until the poor
lady's eyes are fairly dazzled.
Fortunately, at this instant Miss Priscilla,
entering the room, drNws fo"'N the blind
ana restores order: ori~- u.N,'nS -, .,,..u,
herself almost directly opposite her sister.
The Misses Blake are not pretty old ladies
at all. don't want to deceive you In this
matter. They are, in fact, quite ugly old
ladies. Their noses are all wrong, their
CHECKS are as wrnkled as Timothys fore
head, and their mouths are out Of all draw
ing.
Miss Priscilla's eyes are brown,-a deep
startling Brown, that seem to look you
through and through and compel the truth.
Her hair is brown, too, and soft, and silky,
and pretty, though thicl,ly sprinkled with
gray. She has great deal of this hair, and
Is secretly very proud Of it.
Miss Penelope's eyes are pale blue,-with
very little blue,-and but for her long lashes
(sole remnants of goodler days. would be
oppressive. Her hair Is pale, too, and sandy,
and Is braided back from her forehead in
severe lines
"All is ready now,' says Miss Priscilla, -
who is the Martha at MOyne, while we may
regard Miss Penelope as the Mary. "The
rooms are prepared, nothing is wanting, and
the flowers smell so sweet. l have sent the
carriage to meet them, though / know the
train cannot be here for quite an hour yet;
but think 1t wise always to be in time"
There is nothing like it" says Miss Pene-
lope, placidly.
while," goes on the elder maiden, conrplac-
emily, 'and think of all that is likely to hap

Really" says Miss Penelope, lowering
her work and glancing restlessly at her sis
ter, II feel more nervous than | can say,
when think of their coming. What on
earth should we do, my dear Priscilla, if
they took dislike TO us?'
II have thought of that myself" says
Miss Priscilla, in an awestruck tone. 1--WE
are not attractive, Penelope; beyond few
"a Oery few-insignifcant touches" with
an inward glance at her fine hair, 1--WE are
absolutely outside the pale of beauty. l

Here something happens that puts final
stop to all conversation. The door is opened,
quickly, inpetuously; there is sound as Of
many footstepsun the threshold without.
The old ladies start In their seats, and sit
upright, trembling excessively. What can
have happened2 Has the sedate Ryan come
to loggerheads with Mrs. Reilly the cook?

New Orleans Times Democrat: At a
meeting of the employment bureau OF the

secretary of the state OF Mississippi, in
dorsing the movement to purchase Beau
voir from Mre, Jefferson Davis for the
purpose of establishing an Industrial
farm for confederate soldiers who are
able to do light work.
Chairman Harral introduced the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted:
body that there are veterans who from
age, poor health, old wounds and In
luries, are incapacitated TO perform the
duties expected in regular lines of en-
ployment In competition with younger
and more able bodied men, and who, be-
cause not mcapactated for work. are not
eligible Tor the louisiana soldiers home,
to provide farm for such veterans
where they would be encouraged to per-
FORM such light duties as raising fruit
vegetables. chickens, cattle, hogs, sheep
and dairy products, and putting up for
market fresh shrimp, oysters, crabs. etc,
and burning Of charcoal: and having
learned that Bcauvoir Miss, the late
home of Mrs. afferson Davis, contain
Ing LOCO to ], 200 acres of land, and a large,
substantially built residence and out

ready for cultivatioan, can be had for the
sum of $4,000 suitable for the foregoing
purposes elevation thirteen feet above
sea level; and, further, that Mrs. Davis
would adopt New Orleans for her home.
IN case the sale of Beauboir at the price
named; and desiring to preserve Beauvoir
memorial to our chief magistrate, the
late President Jefferson Davis, we
recommend TO each OF our respective
camps that they give expression at their
next meeting encouraging this move:
and that we further invite the co-opera-
ton or all veterans and others friendly
TO this plan to aid us in forming and or
Ranizing company to be Incorporated as

Parrot Called Her Majesty UrIy.

New York Herald-London: A tale that
Is current just now is that the parrot in
the chaplain's room at Windsor castle
screeched at the queen, who failed to
near what the bird said. She asked the
chaplain for a translation, but he de-
INJURED. Her majesty insisted, and finally
he was compelled to admit that the par
rot had said, go along, you ugly old
woman!" She laughed heartily, remark
Ing: We'll, l am glad to know there is
at least one voice in the kingdom not
afraid to tell me what II thinks OF me-"
The announcement that the queen has
ordered Angel, her favorite painter, to
paint portraits of General Lord Kitch-
ener, governor general of the Soudan,
and Ar. Cecil Rhodes, is taken as some
Indication OF her present predictions
III has also caused a suggestion that her
majesty would do well to select each
year for a portrait her most representa-
tive British subject, thus forming a ma
tional portrait gallery.

dry, and the temperature too high, causing rust and considerable shedding. This will undoubtedly curtail the yield, and pros poets that once looked bright for full crop are now reduced to a point where 1t is question of grave doubt as to the ultimate yield. The crop has already been seriously Injured. and a further continuation of dry hot weather will prove disaster.
 "We have encountered the same condi- tions that overlook the crop in 1896, and the situation at present can be no more cor rectly described than to reproduce from our letter under date of August b, 1896, the fol- lowing; "We think that in most of tho up land districts there is no chance for top crop. In the heavy lowlands the shedding has not been so extreme, but, on the whole, there has been serious damage done to the crop. In the language of the southern dar- key this "dry drouth" that we have re- gently undergone has changed a brilliant crop prospect into doubtful one.'
 ''It is farl too early to forecast with any certainty the probable yield. Suffice it to say that there is not the slightest chance ever to produce ten and one-half millions this season. On the contrary, it is more than reasonable to expect a much less yield"
