EFFECT OF DROUGHT UPON THE

EFFECT OF DROUGHT UPON THE
CROPS.
Scotland Neck, N. c.. Aug. 2s.-Your
correspondent has taken the pains
within the past three days to inquire
of intelligent farmers of the country
around concerning the effect of the
present long drought upon the crops
The general concensus of opinion Is
that the cotton crop is cut short one
half already. the corn crop also one
half. with the -peanut-eFef- doubt
The farmers say that they cannot now
tell what the peanut crop would do
with rain in the next few days, but
the corn and cotton crops are already
cut half. The drought is still really
unbroien. The light rain that fell a
week ago seemed to do the crops very
little good. The heat is still intense.

bling q Real Garden.

Even if a country garden is denied
us. it is possible to obtain much pleas
ure with what we possess, and it is
surprising that the back yards of city
houses are the forlorn, neglected
places that they generally are, at
best being only a square grass plot
utilized for drying Clothes and a
narrow border planted with few
struggling perennials. If there are
children in the family sometimes
abortive attempts are made at flow
er bed. As the majority of people
who own town houses seldom leave
the city before the middle of June,
returning by the middle of Septem-
Der, land as the head and bread-winner
of the family practically stays all
summer in town, it is wonder that
these back yards are not generally
made beautiful by little care and
attention, especially as the dining
room windows are apt to overlook
the Enclosure. Not infrequently there
is either small porch or balcony,
where it would be pleasant to sit if
the outlook were ATTRACTIVE.
Where two houses of the same cali
Der back up against each other in
adjacent streets, the space left open
is an elongated square 25 feet wide.
This might, if properly utilized, con-
tain much beauty and sweetness. If
the clothes posts are necessity they
could despite the laundress' prob
able objection) be arranged so as to
leave the center space free. If there
is an even brick wall the task of rem
dering it beautiful is an easy one,
Generally, however, ugly board walls
form the boundaries, but it is pos

There seems to be no way in which an hon.

But let him kiss his neighbours wife. and,

We all may do the proper thing for years

Ten thousand servant girls refrain from

To start the kitchen fire, even though the

But just because one tries it, and is scat

Her name gets in the papers far ahead of

hauled him to the deck, and from thence to
the rail, launching him over the side with
the feeling that with him went the last of
my Ill luck With the dead mans cutlass
about my waist and McCary's pistol in my
belt Ia poor place for dry printing, as
was still -reeking with wet), ! went again
into the cabin, and with an apology to the
doctor for leaving him in the dark, took the
lantern from its hook on the beam and hur-
ried to where the wreck of the top hamper
still covered the deck about the foremost.
Though the light was seen from the Sprite,
it would create no suspicion; SO. Selling the
lantern to a hoop In the mast, l attacked
the mass of broken spar, gear and canvas,
that 1 might verify or prove groundless the
more than half hope which had come to me
while l hung beneath the wreck of the din
gy. Then the hope was but himsy tissue;
now it was tinged with fear. If :he girl
had not been struck down by falling spar
and hidden by the folds of the square sail,
then she must have been translated, for of
her deliberate self-destruction / would not
now believe.
There was a desperate humping on the
forecastle hatch by the imprisoned trio, but
l paid no attention to it, and indeed l was
so engrossed in my present business that
nothing short of the splintering of the cover
or the arrival on belated errand of boat
from the Sprite, would have caused me to
desist
The first uncovered was what thought
to be pair of booted legs, but they proved
to be no more than my own foot gear which
l had slowed near the mast the night before,
for since boarding the Phantom in the fog
I had gone unshod. The wreck had been
thrown into fairly compact mass by the
side of the hatch, and it was perhaps five
minutes before / had gotten to the bottom of
it. But l was well rewarded. Ere l had
cast aside the last of the fallen hamper
heard slight groan, and, on pulling away
a mixture of torn sail and tangled line, saw
the object of my search.

cay, like as not if he has the pluck" he
snapped back, cycling and lodging the muz-
zle of the fircarm. Faith, I'll do my best
if We will honor my calling and play that
damn thing to some other point. Have We
murdered all but myself?"
''Nay, We skewer," answered, almost
amused by his fear and amazed at the way
it had overcome the fumes of the liquor in
him. Il but gave the crew rest from duty
it is their watch below, and if We dare call
me murderer for taking and defending my
own, I'll act the part in truth
BY me sowl, We are the devil himself''
he CALCULATED, but cut him short.
"Whate'er l am, We are my prisoner. Now
take your choice betwixt irons and parole;
the hold or this cabin. Speak fast! I have
business on hand"
ga prisoner only, is it," he exclaimed
quickly, sitting bolt upright and raising his
Irish gentleman, take oath not to sneak
from We or bear arms" he answered, as
though relieved by the terms I offered.
''And bide in the cabin until allowed the
deck?" 1 added
''That same" he answered
s'And care for the wounded lad?"

Then It's ten to one that before long We
will be back among your fellows by ex-
change" I interrupted, being in hurry.
"Bring the boy to his feet, and twill be
money in your pocket; but no more liquor"
So saying, picked up the bottle and took
long draught of what proved to be good
whisky. Twas well-earned and sorely
needed dram, but mighty uneivif way of
taking it, inasmuch as had just cut him off
his own grog. The act may have been the
means of tanning the spark of malice held in
his nature-a spark that glowed, smoldered,
and burst into flame when 1 least expected.
The cunning in his brain made up for the
lack of sinews in his body, for when turned
from locking up the bottle and sliding the
key into my pocket, noticed a malevolence
in his face; but he shifted his eye from me,
and, getting to his feet with an effort,
walked unsteadily across the cabin and bent
over Ames.
