FLoRIDA's PHOSPHATE OUTPUT.

Bene, one of the large traders in phos-
pilates of Hamburg, who is extensively
interested in mines in Florida, reached
New Orleans Tuesday from Havana.
He made the trip over TO Havana to
see what the prospects were, and he
does not think much of them. There
is no German capital being invested in

ONLY FOR TWO WEEKS.


Herman Powers hurried along the
street, his thoughts travelling even
faster than he was going. He was en-
gagged to Margaret Leland and had
Deen Tor over a year. He was very
much in love with her, and he consid-
cred himself a very lucky man to have
won her consent to marry him. She
loved him, too, and, as is often the
case with a good, pure woman, this
love amounted almost to worship.
Herman had enjoyed this devotion
on her part exceedingly, as what man
would not in like circumstances? But
lately he had sometimes thought she
was too demonstrative in her affec-
lions, Iittle too sentimental, in fact,
and that in her great enjoyment of his
company, perhaps she was little sell
fish and took a good deal of his time
away from his profession. Before he
met her, this law business had been
his sole object of interest, and now
that the first glamor of his engagement
was over, he did not exactly return to
his first love, but was willing to divide
his attention, and strange it would lie,
indeed, if his fiancee did not suffer III
the dividing process.
Just now he was about to take a
short trip out of the state and he was
on his way to bid Margaret good-by.
He had decided it would be all nom
sense to have a scene over this first
parting, and as for love letters, they
would be entirely out OF the question.
ut would be Margaret's way to make
great fuss over our separation" he
said to himself as he ran up the steps
Of the Leldnd's home and rang the
bell, but shall be taking trips often,
and there is no need of being foolish.
We must begin as we can hold out"
He is relieved as he enters the draw
ing-room that there are guests present,
and he is not likely to see his sweet
heart alone and with it all is a vague
sense of disappointment, too. He talks
with her, with her mother and brother
and with the friends they are enter
tanning; he eXerts himself to be agree
able and to keep the conversation on
general topics, and when, at the end of
an hour, he rises to go and carelessly
announces his departure from the city
on the morrow, he is convinced that he
has avoided the very thing he dreaded,
and in a diplomatic kind of way, too.
Margaret has perhaps grown a little
white when he spoke of his trip, but
she said nothing. 1t was only when he
left the room that she followed him
and put her arm up around his neck
Il do not like to have you leave me
darling" she whispered, coaxingly
is it necessary"
The reply came rather shortly.
why of course. Do you suppose
would go fit wasn't? Come, Mar
garet. don't be silly"

He laughed rather forcedly.

That would be impossible she
quietly returned and then she gave

I her eyes, the hurt look in them was
more than he could bear but he took
the little trembling hand in his, and
stopped to kiss her. "Good-by dear,

down to the platform of the station
! He sends a telegram to Margaret an
nouncing his arrival, and then takes

make the necessary changes in his
toilet and get to his fiancee. He fairly
runs up the stairs to his room, and
) finds note under the door. rom her?

my Dear Fellow: We are so sorry
