GRASS NOW AHEAD OF CROPS.
Little Work Can Be Done Where
Much Is Needed.

The incessant rains of the past week,
together with the continued unpro.
pitious weather, is putting the farmers
here in hole and the outlook is de-
CT ledly unfavorable, It is rain, rain,
rain all the time, and little work can
be done while this continues. Cotton
is small, and in some fields has not yet
been chopped out to stand. The
grass is growing, and If there is a
premium on hay this year it would
seem the part of wisdom to let the cot
ton crop go and harvest the grass. The
cotton prospect is certainly poor on
more than one plantation here.

CHAPTER XVI.

Major Goddard's most intimate
friend in New York was Father Sur
tees, priest, who lived in comfort
able home in Madison avenue. God
dard liked him for his liberal views on
all religious subjects, and for his ex-
emplary life. They had been chums
at Harvard, belonged to the same regi-
ment, in which Father Surtees was
chaplain, and frequently met in their
club. They had made tour of Eu-
rope together, had slept in the same
bed; in short, were ideal friends.
The afternoon following the Incl
dent recorded in the foregoing chap
ter Goddard went to visit this priest.
The afternoon was as cloudy as the
preceding day had been, and Father
Surtees' study was lighted by a green
shaded lamp on his big writing table,
which was strewn with manuscripts
and notes for book he was writing.

take to recross the ocean went by his
fears increased until his waking and
sleeping thoughts contained but one
mental picture, and that was, the sud
den meeting between the two women
and the awful consequences to Blanche.
In the deadly still hours of night he
would wake with start. magining he
heard sound in Blanche's room. and
thither he would creep, holding his re-
volver ready for use, only TO be greeted
by the sight of his beautiful treasure
peacefully asleep in the light of the low
burning night lamp.
After one of these frights he went
back to his chamber, and for the first
time for years he knelt AID tried to
pray. His prayer was short, but he
repeated it over and over with sup
pressed groans.
''Oh, God, in Thy vast goodness heap
the punishment of the vilest of the
damned upon me. but spare henry
child wife. Spare her, oh, God! Let
not the consequence of my weakness
fall on her. This is all ask, pleading
for just punishment for myself. but

steps, cloaked and gloved for her mys-

had turned the corner below the
gates and then went out OF the house
and followed her, taking care 10 keep
out of her view. He saw her get on
the trolley car, and seeing that he
had ample time to catch the train he
waited for the next car and board
ed it.
When he reached the station the
train was almost due. He saw moth
ing of Blanche and supposed she was
in the ladies' waitingroom. He went
into the mems waitirg-rooin, aud
when the train came he stood az a
window and watched her pass out and
get into one of the coaches. Watch
ing his opportunity he glided through
the crowd of bystanders and took a
seat in the smoking-car in the front
part of the train.

CHAPTER XIV.

The major happened to be alone
when that telegram reached him. See
ing that it was foreign, he let 1t lie
unopened on his desk till the servant
had gone, then with many misgivings
as to its import he opened it. That
single word conveyed more to his dis
turbed consciousness of impending dis
aster than a dozen bold threats could
have done. He told himself that
Jeanne had had just sufficient time to
have received his letter, and that she
was on her way home.
But what could she be coming back
for-running such great risks of detec-
ton? Perhaps it was that she might
confront Blanche suddenly and cause
the girls death from the shock of the
true situations Perhaps-Goddard put
hhe telegram into the fire and watched
1t burn. A big lump of despair was in
his throat. At that moment, if, by
death of long lingering torture, he
could have purchased Blanche's happi-
mess he would have submitted without
murmur. The better side of his ma
ture was now uppermost and he had
become actually strong man. Sud
denly he wondered if he might not
with a round sum of money buy Jeanne
off from her evident murderous plans,
but Blanche's means were not to be
thought of. Hearing the clicking of
Talley's typewriting machine, and fired
with certain resolve, he crossed the
hall and entered the study.
