CHAPTER MI.
"1HAvE SAVED YOUR HONOR" "

So carried away with his argument
was the Cheyalier de Eaudrey. that
the words came from his lips in an ir-
resistible tide carrying with them Sor-
rowland pity to the woman whose past
life was thus brought before her, and
shame and anger to the man who thus
uncGnSciously had learned Of the one
dark time in the history OF woman he
owed.
Then do you. who have suffered so
much. who suffer still, counsel me to
obey:" asked The chevalicr, eagerly:
Would YOU have me chain my life to
one woman. while my heart is filled
with the image of another? will you
advise me to do tEis:*
Hard words were these for a huS-
band to hear, especially when it was
the tirst iDtimatiOn he had OF such suf-
fering. and he showed, in the deeply
furrOwed brow. the clenched hand, ,and
the white trembling lips, how deeply
the blow had struck.
The picture De Eaudrey had pre-
senled to his aunt, the thought that
her words might be the means of con-
signing the young man to the same sad
fate which had been hers, swept away
all the barriers Of opposition, and she
resolved that. If it lay in her power,
the sacrifice should not be made.
MONO. never she exclaimed,
passionately. You shall not marry
other than the woman you love.'
The count. who had recovered from
the first stupor of surprise, now came
towards his wife. and had she not been
in such extreme agitation, she would
have seen that Ter husband had aged
many years in tie few moments he
had been absent from the room.
When the countess saw him, she
thought not of what he might have
heard. she did not notice his appear
ance: but. so deeply was her woman,s
heart moved, that she thought only OF
her nephew.
"Oh, monsieur, have pity on him."
she almost begged, as clasping her
hands before her, she went toward her
husbands: do not ask him to stitie the
cry Of his conscience. His heart re-
volts against the sacrifice you ask. DO
not initiate those parents whose pride
condemns their children to lives OF
falSehOOd and despair.
Monsieur. YOU must not read
cried De Naudrcv, as he laid his hand
upon the open page TO prevent his I'M
Gle from seeking for what was written.
The count looked at the cheralier in
surprise. Never had he known the

Students Sorry They siSned.

Columbia university students are
rebelling against the resolutions IN
regard to hazing they were made to
sign by the faculty last spring, says
the New York World. During the
week, the various classes have met and
decided to place stringent rules over
the freshman body because of the cur
tai.men, of the upper classmen's priv.
ileges.

forestall a repetition of last seasons

which he calls attention to the spirit
of the resolution ley signed and asks
their continued cocperation.

Fearful Ravages Of Choio-a

Fearful ravages Of the plague and
cholera in the old world are set forth
in mail adriceS received by the mar
inc hospital service at Washington.
From Manila Chief Quarantine Officer
Perry makes a conservative estimate
that the cases OF cholera in the Phil
iupine Islands since March goth last
aggregate $1,000 with a mortality list
of IS per cent. He says the disease
has practically disappeared from those
provinces first infected. but those
most recently affected are suffering
severely. III the province OF llollo ann
adjacent PROVINCES negroes are badly
infected and the situation is alarm
ing. Some towns in these provinces
lost ten per cent Of the population.
and the epidemic continues severe. In
Japan the latest advices show thai
there are 4,349 cases and 1850 deaths
from cholera. Cholera is also raging
furiously in Alexandria and other
Egyptian cities. Many Europeans in
Alexandria have died.

The Divorce Mill.

The Augusta Chronicle Of last
Saturday said the Superior Court
would take up the divorce docket that
morning. The Chronicle went on say
that the docket was "a large enc and
Judge Brinson hardly hopes to clear
it at this grind. There are between
sixty and seventy cases on the docket,
asking for either first or second ver-
dict. While the most Of the eases are
disposed OF within few minutes,
there being no contest and the grounds
Of separation being lawful. Most OF
the cases on the docket are made on
the ground of destrtion and non-sup-
port. \ few allege cruel treatment,
adultry and other legal reasons Tor
seperation. Only occaSionly is suit
duplicated by petition for aIlmony
Forty or fifty yerdicts are probably
cleared out today" This is an awful
object lesson to young people. Think
Of it. Only a few minutes required
to sever the sacred marriage relation
of a couple that have tired OF each
other. Augusta must be trying tc
catch up with Chicago. The whole
divorce business is demoralizing and
degrading, and the more we read OF 1t
in other places the more pleased we
become that South Carolina has nc

A Huge Business.

Few people have any idea of the
magnitude Of the business done by the
railroads of the United States. Some
interesting statistics concerning these
great arteries OF trade taken from the
advance sheets of Poar's Manual fol
1902 will no doubt prove interesting.
This publication shows that at the
close of that year there were in this
country an aggregate Of 1885, miles
Of railway, an increase during the
year of some 2,901 miles. This showed
slower rate Of increase than the
year before, for in that year the gain
footed up 4,453 miles. At present
the total mileage is probably in eZ'
cess Of 100000 miles.
1t is interesting to note in this con.
nection, says the Columbia State.
that, according to statistics recently
compiled by The Bankers Magazine.
the rate of increase Of railroad mile
age has in recent years been much
greater in the south than in any Other
part cf the country. The growth of
the railways of this section from 1886
to 1900 was from 1912 miles to 81
594 miles, or lib per cent, against
an increase tor all the other States
and territories CT the union Of from
1850 miles to 14i, ,12I miles. or but
9S per cent.
During 1901 the total traffic rcVe-
hue of all the railroads Of the United
States aggregated the enormous t,tal
of Sl.6l2. .44S. .S26 and the net earnings
were S520.294,727. The total availa-
bic revenue after deducting the net
earnings and the expenses Of operat-
ing amounted to S5SS, 1868, ,541, out Of
which was disbursed s222,5lS.5lO in
bond aud other interest, 1892, 1872. 953
in dividends and S122, ,673,9 9c2 in mis-
ccilane0us payments. leaving surplus
over fixed charges and miscellaneous
payments of Sl11.3OS, 1911. The Mtai
capital aggregated S12, 2,000,0 900, 900.
the stock values being S5.9l5, So. .S39
and the funded debt s6.002, 797. .673.
The increase in capital stock curing
1901 was s45l 100000. comprising an
expansion in stock Of but STA, AS. .0OO
and an increase in bonded debt OF no
less than S3I6.S17.000.
The total liabilities in 1901 amount
ed to sl2.926, $50, 52l as against SILL
455. 222O. .0O6 in 1900, and the assets
were sl3, ,30S. .O2e, ,o32 as compared
with sl1, ,S0S, 425,973 for the year be-
fore. An increase Of more than 3d.
100000 was recorded in the number Of
passengers handled, the figures for
1900 and 1901 being respectively 500,
6SO,2l6 and 900, ass 100. In freights
a gain of nearly half billion tons was
registered. 647,714, III tons having

An Autumn Rose.

The grasses arc dead and brown, -.
The leaves are golden and red,
The wind has an autumn sound.

There's nothing left but i rose.

Nothing left but a rose,
And-the love in M heart.

For why should 4 love cutlaSt
The fading OF summer flowers.
To Shivcr III autumn blast
And tremblc in freezing showers:
Y red rose blooming alone.
When It's tender mates have died:
\ sad heat loving on
IN spite OF its bitter pride,
And over the dark blue sea.
White sails receding fast.
AS wild winds bear from NE
The dream OF vanished past
Tonight in the dusk and gloom
The lingering rose Will dle,
Slain in its beautr'S bloom
By frOStS from The autumn Sky.
And we'll if the morrow 5 dawn
Should find me dead in despair.
For love in ny heart lives on
The same as when skies were fair.

Possibilities of the Feet.

If instead Of the cramping imprison-
ment Of boots and shoes tie foot from
infancy were allowed a free and nat

whether under such conditions it might
not be rendered capable of performing
other functions besides those Of loco
motion and sustaining the weight Of
the body. Certain at least it is that

Now that the Republican party in

contingency may arise the Democrat

be greater vastly greater. if every one
who should, will vote. Vote, vote,

THE Spartanburg Journal says: 1t
is creditable to the South Carolina
Club that the intention to serve quail
at the supper following the state ball
has been abandoned. Such a whole
sale slaughter OF game birds in the
closed season would be an outrage on
the laws Of the state" We fail to see
where the South Carolina Club 6e-
serves any credit whatever fer obeying
the law.

THE Augusta Chronicle. in spea

The Augusta Chronicle, in speak
ing Of a policeman of that city who
murdered his young wife in cold blood
because she refused to live with him
on account of his cruelty to her, says
he was one Of the braveSt men on the
force. We fail to see it that way.
No truly brave man would shoot down
a defenceless woman. According to
our standard he was coward of the
worst type. The fact that he killed
himself after brutally numbering his
young wife does not mitigate his cow
ardice one iota in our estimation.
The patrons of the Spartanburg city
schools, whose children are in the pri-
mary gardes, are agitating the Ques-
tion Of shortening the session Of the
school day, The reason given for
making the change is that shorter
session would be better for the chilo,
both mentally and physically. Lead
ing educators throughout the country
agree that child Of seven or eight
loses rather than gains, if confined for
a longer period than four hours.

Not in a single instance have they been

They are simply on religious Pilgrim

induce them to change, their quarters to
a position north of town and succeeded
in inducing them to come to the cente.
of the town, but they positively refused
to move northward, although offering no
other opposition. Finding that it was i'm
possible to induce them to go even In
the direction of their villages, they de-
termined to let them have their way,
as they are perfectly harmless. Last
night they wee c)mped four miles down
the track toward Saltcoats.
AS soon as they were given their way
