aghast and suggested that Susan would
be glad to do so.
ION no account" replied Gray, de-
cisively. Il would not impose on Miss
Susan, and, besides, 1 particularly de-
sire to talk to Miss Frances regard
ing some matters we were discussing
the other day. 1 will pay you for her
time, if you DESIRE
OF course. there was nothing else to
do, and away rode Frances with the
guest.
This was the first of many similar
excursions by foot and horse, and
Gray's first surprise at the girls men
tai alertness grew as he learned her
better. He taught her many things,
and it was a genuine pleasure to him
to watch her mind leap at the first
impulse given it and drive true as a
die to the inevitable logic of the mat
ter.
He soon began to take an absorbing
interest in watching this unusual. mind
unfold and develop Under his guidance,
and he could not refrain from making
comparisons between this uncut dia-
mond and the fashionable and cultured
women he knew-always to the diSad-
vantage of the latter. She changed
rapidly under the influence of this new
life Her cheeks grew rosy and her
carriage free and joyous. The. added
insults of the Jordans did not touch
her She had never dreamed of such
happiness in all her life. The weeks
sped, and before he knew it Gray real
lied that his vacation was at an end.
He was a new man, too, with a clear
eye. "a sspriffging step and renewed
strength. But still he fingered, he
knew not why. One day he faced the
situation. He was we'll; ready to go
back to the work he had left so inn
patiently. He despised the Jordans
and was tired of the country. The
one thing that kept him was his inter-
est in Frances Holden. Then, quick
as a flash, his trained mind reflected
the question:: Why not take her with
him? Then he laughed, grew grave
and thought deeply. He could see the
surprise of his friends, the anger of his
sisters.
"And why not?" he thought. This
girl has the purest mind / ever saw in
a woman-and, besides, 1 love her.
The next day he walked with her out
in the orchard and told her the old,
old story. Frightened and thrilled with
strange emotions, she allowed him to
take her in his arms. He left the next
day for the great city. A week later
he sent his sister for her.
The marriage occurred Immediately
after his Inauguration. 1t was church
wedding-the most elaborate ever held
in the state.
After Mrs. Jordan had finished read
ing IS columns about 1t in the news
paper, she exclaimed, in a discouraged
tone of voice:
We'll, if some peoples luck don't
beat ALL Now. If we had packed that
beggar off when we ought to, it might
have been Susan"

COLONIAL RELIC UNEARTHED.
Negro Farmer Digs Up "A Flint Lock
Musket Dated 1774.

Beaufort, S. c., July 3.-A curious
and very interesting relic of Colonial
times in the shape of a flint lock rifle
was unearthed by Samuel Floyd, ne
gro farmer, at Gray's Hill plantation
Yesterday. He was hoeing in a corn
field, when his hoe suddenly struck
some hard substance. Investigation
brought the gun to light.
The weapon, though more than CEN
fury old, was intact, with the excep-
ton of the black walnut stock which
was partially decayed. The barrel
measured FIVE feet in length and about
three quarters of an inch inside diam
eter.
An inscription thereon near the
breech read thus: William Selkirk,
Gunsmith, London, Eng, 1774." This
engraving was very plain, but the let
tiers were irregular, showing that the
art of engraving was then in its in
fancy.
The chief interest about the old gun
was it's curious lock, which was quite
elaborate and very substantially con-
structed.
