LITTLE HINTS AS TO STYLES.

Black and white together is reg ular craze.
 White silk crepe and even crepons will be much worn for best frocks.
 openwork stockings are going to be worn more than ever the coming summer.
 An idea that is growing in favor is to line the ruffies on skirt with some contrasting color.
 One of the fancies of the day is fastening the belt at one side, instead of directly in front.
 For evening wear one of the most beautiful fabrics is the new silky make of popnn. It wears like iron.
 Pongee in the natural tint is now shown, embroidered with polka dots of pink, red, blue, mauvs and white.
 Pale yellow gloves are being worn in Paris with good many gowns though white is by no means super seded
 Summer suits of brilliantine or mo- hair trimmed with narrow bands ot taffeta will be much worn, and are very stylish.
 Stocks, ties and soft scarfs in Per sian and oriental colorings are espe- cially pretty to wear with white shirt waists.

sisted and concealed so long spoke with an intensity she never dreamed.
 "She is content" she whispered soft ly. "You did not understand her right "; that was all."
 "All! O God. how I have wronged youl My darling! My darling! What have I done to be worthy of such Iove?" he murmured, while the tears fell from his blinded eyes and his head dropped until bis lips met hers. At the first utterance of that word be- tween then, at the unconscious tender- ness of his kisses that had the anguish of farewell in them, the color sud- denly flushed all over her blanched face She trembled in his arms, and Q great shiyering sigh ran through her. It came too late, this warmth of love.
 "Hushp', she answered, with a look that pierced his soul. 'Keep those kisses for miladi. She will have the right to love you. She is of your aris- tocracy, she is not 'unsexed.' As for me, am only q little trooper, who has saved my conrade! My soldiers, come round me one instant. I shall not long find words"
 Her eyes closed as spoke. A deadly faintness and coldness passed over her, and she gasped for breath. A moment, and the resolute cour- age in her conquered. Her eyes open cd and rested on the war worn faces Of her s'children'-rested in a long lost look of unspeakable wistfulness and tenderness.
 'I cannot speak as would" she said at length, while her voice grew very faint "But have loved you. All is saidp'
 All was uttered in those four brief words. She had loved them.
 She stretched her arms out with & gesture of infinite longing, like lost child that vainly seeks its mother.
 If I could only see France once morei France
 It was the last word upon her utter ance. Her eyes met Cecirs in one fleet ing upward glance of unutterable ten derness; then with her hands still stretched out westward to where her country was and with the dauntless heroism of her smile upon her face like light she gave a tired sigh as of clnQ InaC SILKS lO Sleep, duu III lHS midst of her army of Africa the little one lay dead.
 
 Tn the shadow of his tent at midnight he whom she had rescued stood look ing down at a bowed, stricken form be- fore him with an exceeding yearning pity in his gaze.
 The words had at length been spoken that had lifted from him the burden of another's guilt; the hour at last had come in which his eyes had met the eyes of his friend without 8 hidden thought between them. The sacrifice was ended, the martyrdom was over. And in this hourl of release the stron- gest feeling in him was the sadness of an infinite compassion, and where his brother was stretched prostrate in shame before him Cecil stopped and raised him tenderly.
 "Say no more," he murmured. 'Tt has been well for me that I have suf- fered these things. For yourself, if you do indeed repent and feel that you owe me any debt, atone for it and pay it by letting your own life be, strong in truth and fair in honor.p .

CHAPTER xxIv,

EYY GNDER the green springtide \ O | leafage of English woodlands FeSSSssSSzz3 an old horse stood at pasture. tsaSEE1y Sleeping, with the sun on his gray silken skin and the flies driven off with a dreamy switch of his tail sleeping, yet not so surely but at one voice he started and raised his head with all the eager grace of his youth and gave a murmuring noise of well come and delight. He had known that voice in an instant, though for so many years his ear had never thrilled to it. Forest King had never forgotten. Now scarce day passed but what 1t spoke to him some word of greeting or of affection.
 With his arm over the horses neck the exile, who had returned to his birthright, stood silent awhile, gazing out over the land on which his eyes never wearied of resting. Then his glance came back and dwelt upon the face beside him, the proud and splen- did woman's face that had learned it's softness and it's passion from him alone.
 Tt was worth punishment to re- turn" he murmured to her. "It was worth the trials that bore to learn the love that have known"-
 She, looking upward at him with those deep. lustrous, imperial eyes that had first met his own in the glare of

Club of Lone-Legged Chaps

A Tall Mems club has been organ ized by the long-legged students in the GniNers1ty of Pennsylvania. Among the members are 12 who are each more than six feet two inches in height. Some of the ''shorties,' who are an inch less than the height just men toned, are admitted only as associate members. The officers are named the Moon-Hitter, the Ceiling-Duster and the Skyscraper.

 Her mouth trembled, and the phrase died unfinished. Strong as her own love had grown, it looked to her un- proved and without desert beside that which had chosen to perish for his sake. The memories of both went back to place in desert land where the folds of the tricolor dropped over one little grave turned westward to- ward the shores of France-al grave made where the beat of the drum and the sound of moving squadrons and the ring of the trumpet call and

GRANT AND THE TARIFF.

Gen. Fred Grant, who has just re-
turned from London, and whose bag
gage was searched by customs officers
has the following to say of the Repub-
ltcan tariff regulations:
During all the time I have been away
my baggage has never been examined.
Not that I objected to that so much as
the fact that after making me declare
everything which l had brought, and
swear to the truth of my statement,
they should Immediately search my
trunks and turn them upside down to
see whether I was a liar and smuggler,
which this government presupposes all
citizens 20 be. I am high tariff man
myself, but 60 not think the republi-
can party has done itself any good by
these new regulations.
Since Col. Grant helped TO make the
Republican policy of protection per
manent evil, the country will not sym,
pathize with him to considerable de-
gree. His perturbation over the Incl
dent is roally amusing .-Th chattanooga

EVANS NICKNAME.

Most persons have an idea that Rear
Admiral Robley D. Evans acquired his
nickname of'Fighting Bob'from some
gallant service in the navy. A naval Of
fcer who was a cadet at Annapolis
when Evans became cadet, tells this
story of how he was christened, relates
a New York Times contributor. Along
in 1859 and 1860 there was a saloon
keeper named Robert D. Evans, who
continually got drunk. Every time
this happened, and it was several times
a week, five or six policemen had to
be called to carry the drunken chap to
jail and he was dubbed Fighting
Bob" So the minute cadet appear
ed bearing the name of r. D. Evans,
the nickname was applied to him also.
Brother officers of the now Rear Ad-
miral say that he got the Iuckiest nick
name on record.

1t is said that Representative Miller
OF Museogee will introduce into the
Legislature this fall, at the request OF
Pension Commissioner Lindsey, bill
providing for the compilation of a
roster of those who served in the Con-
federats army from Georgia. If this
bill should become law it is not i'm
probable that the pension list will be
cut down very considerably. Appar-
emily Commissioner Lindsey is of the
opinion that there are many drawing
pensions from the state whose names
ought not to be on the pension roll. He
is working along the right lines. The
people want to pay pensions only to
those who are entitled TO them under
the law.-Sa7annah News.

Running a newspaper is just like
running hotel, only different. When
a man goes into hotel and finds some
thing on the table which does suit him,
he does not get up and raise hades
with the landlord and tell him to stop
his darned old hotel Well, hardly.
He sets. that dish on one side and
wades into some of the many dishes
that do suit him. It is different with
some newspaper readers. They find az
article occasionally that does not suit
them exactly, and without stopping to
think 1t may please hundreds of other
readers, make a grand stand play of
their supreme asininIty and hasten
over to stop their paper. - Sioux City

ORATORY.

A book written during the Middle
Ages tells one who would be a fOren-
sic orator that there are three things
necessary to his discourse: "First,
it must please secondly, itmust con-
vince; thirdly, it must persuade.
For the first effect the pleader must
speak gracefully for the second,
plainly for the third, with great
ardOr and fervency."
Several hundred years later Hon.
William Writ, Attorney-G General of
the United States, being asked by a
student of law for instruction which
might help him to become an elo-
quent speaker, answered
"CicerO has summed up the whole
art in a few words: 1t is 0pte, dis
tiacte, Orn0te-to speak to the pur-
pose, to speak clearly and distinctly,
to speak gracefully. To be able to
speak to the purpose, you must IN
derstand your subject and all that
belongs to it and then your thoughts
and methods must be clear in them
selves, and clearly and distinctly
enunciated and lastly, your voice,
style of delivery and gesture must
be graceful and delightfully."- inn
pressive.
81 would strenuously advise you
to two things: Compose much and
often and carefully with reference to
this same rule, 'apte, distincte,
ornate,' and let your conversation
have reference to the same subjects.
I do not mean that you should be
elaborate and formal in your ordi-
nary conversation. Let it be per
fectly simple and natural, but al
ways in good tune Ito speak as the
m~usicians) and we'll enunciated."

In the warmest coves, in their best

afew robins stay the winter through.
In the winter they are silent birds.
Only when startled are they heard.
Then their sharp, rapid note of alarm

not generally known that almost
every Pennsylvania creek runway

Hair-raising is the boot of the barr

curdling tones are calls to their
mates, and contain all of owl-love

is not all in their looks. Mice and
fying-squirrels, whose habits are
nocturnal, gather in the winter about
the habitations of man, so the owls
move close to catch them when they
prowl.

flying squirrels stands on the porch

Death of Mai. VIM. Blount.

Through kilograms to his sister, Mrs.
l.. O. b. Branch, the news OF the death
of Maj William Augustus Blount, at
Beaufort, was received here yesterday.
Mai. Blount was the son of William
Augustus and Nancy Haywood Blount.
He was born in Beaufort county on the
9Th day of October, 1928. AT an early
age he married to Mary Washington,
daughter of Col Jno. c. Washington.
who with four children survive him.
For. many years Maj. Blount was res
ident of Raleigh, and his home was ever
open to true Southern hospitality. He
had a large soul and tender heart,
everywhere and at all times, consider
alton, courtesy and a gifted flow of Ian
guage that marked him polished gen
tleman. Living the quiet life OF a
planter when the war came, he quickly
sided with his people and joined the
Confederate service as aid to General
Branch, remaining in it until its close
and manfully doing his duty on many
a hard foughth field. When peace came
he returned to his plantation in East
ern North Carolina. where on the Both
of June. 1901, burdened with three
score years and ten. he was called to
Ibis faithful rest, with work all done. :
