shepherd dog and began 70 knit She
was sitting with her face turned to-
ward the home OF Thorne. but the mist
began to rise so that she could not
even distinguish the tree tops. She
moved over to the other side. and
there she sat dreaming for long time
with her eyes riveted on the vast sea.
The view filled her soul with unspeak-
able peace.
Suddenly she felt a desire to give
vent to her feelings IN loud melody
She sang the songs Of childhood, the
ditties OF the village. the Morse nation
al song. and her music sounded weird
in the silent night Then she thought
that some one was answering her.
What in the world can this be2"
she asked herself. 1T cannot be the
echo. for am facing the sea"
She advanced TO the edge Of the rock
and swinging her arms around a slen-
der tree she searched the wall Of the
steep mountain. But it was quiet and
peaceful on the ford; not bird few
over It.
Aslaug returned to her grassy couch
and again began to sing. This time
she could not be mistaken, for 1t was
indeed a human voice that responded
to her yodeL
Again she rushed to the tree and
took long look down the Aim. At
last she beheld a boat m0ored to a
small branch that jotted out from the
rock. Only some fifty feet below her
she saw a red cap, with a man under

side when not even a mountain goat
would dare to tread.
She hurried back to her place. and
dared not utter a note OF word for fear
that the intrepid wooer would be hurl-

the ford. She knew very well who
It was, though she did not see his
face. She threw herself on the ground
and held the long. heavy blades Of
grass with both hands. as II it were
her task not to lose her grip on what
was once seized. But the grass roots
began to loosen and IN her despair she
cried 20 God 70 aid Thore with His
Omnipotence. Then again she began
to think that such an act OF Thore and
such a prayer on her part were a gross
temptation Of God. Nevertheless she
continued her supplications only

An English horticulturlst. speaking
on what to do with inferior apples and
how to dispose OF them without injur-
ing the market. says that the best way
is not to grow them. The answer is
one Of those sayings that attempts to
answer a question without answering
it. We do not intend to grow inferior
apples, but we do grow them IN spite
Of ourselves, and the problem arises
Of how to dispose Of them without
loss. Feeding TO cattle is one way sug-
gested, as apples have the same feed
ing value as turnips. This is a good
way 70 get rid OF them II getting rid
Of them is the principal object.

A Nolle Prosequi Entered in the Wythe
County Court II Mr.. Wad1ey Re-
leased,

A nolle prosequi has been entered in
the case pending for some time in the
Wythe county (Va.) court against H.
G. Wadley, the particulars of which
are familiar to Messenger readers, and
Mr.. Wadley has been released. The
following special telegram sent out
from Wytheville, under date of April
9th, gives the circumstances under
which the nolle pros. was entered to-
wit:
when the Wadley case was called
in h county court today, the COM
m~onwealths' attorney entered a nolle
prosequi, and Mr.. Wadley was re-
leased. Mr.. H. NJ. Heuser, the COM
m~onwealth's attorney, stated that,
according to his understanding of the
opinion of the court of appeals, the
value of the Cannonchee bonds substi-
tuted by the accused for the assets Of
the company was the most material
point in the case and must be proved
by witnesses speaking of their own
knowledge; that to do this witnesses
had to be procured from Georgia, the
domicile of the C~annonchee company.
Though they a at one time promis-
ed to come, at the last momen they
had refused to do so. Being beyond
the process of the court, he could not
compel their attendance and saw no
other course than to nolle pros the in
dietment.
Mr.. Wadley received the announce
ment, which terminates the prosecu-
ton so long pending against him, with
the utmost calmneSS."

ward the school House County
School Directors "Wfl Do the Rest,

The matter of erecting a building
and opening a school at Delgado mills
was discussed at a meeting of .he
county board of school directors yes
terday.
Mr.. E. G. Holt has very literally
donated $500 towards erecting a build
ing and %equipping the school and the
gift was highly appreciated by the
board.
Chairman Johnson and Captain Ed.
Wilson Manning, county superintend-
emf of schools, went out to the Delga-
do village yesterday morning and with
Mr.. Holt, selected a site for the build
ing. They say Mr.. Holt is very
enthusiastic about the school and is
very DESTROYS for It.
The board talked the matter over
fully and determined to erect a build
ing about 22x3S feet and the total cost
for building and equipments will be
about $3.50.
Work on the building will begin as
soon as the board of directors can
make the necessary arrangements.
Mr.. Holt expresses himself as being
anxious for the building to be erected
at nee in order that he may supply
a teacher at his own expense to teach
a night school. OF course, the county
school will not begin until next fall,
when all the other schools open.
The committee referred the matter
to Colonel johnson and authorized him
to make such arrangements as he may
deem advisable.
