BY a singular chain of circumstances
Miss Betty Carewe has come to confuse
Tom Vanrevel and Crailey Gray, be-
lieving each to be the other. Miss Betty
is the reiSnins belle of Rouen, Ind,
in the days just preceding the Mexican
War. Tom Nanrevel is a young lawyer
of Rouen, and her fathers mortal foe.
The two men have quarreled over poll
tics and also on a personal matter and
cid Carewe has threatened to shoot Tom
should he ever find him on Carewe's
property. Tom has fallen desperately
in love with Miss Betty at first sight.
Crailey Gray, lazy, generous, popular,
talented, ood-for-nOthing, and poet, is
Toms law partner, and is engaged to
Miss Fanchon Bareaud, but he, too, as
well as Tom, has fallen under the
spell of Miss Bettys beauty
Crailey is the first to discover Miss
Bettys mistake Instead of undeceiv-
ing her, he takes adroit advantage of
the situation to make love to her in
the person of his friend. Old Carewe's
bitter denunciations of Vanrevel nat
urally serve only further to raise in
Miss Betty's estimation. the gentleman
whom she supposes to be the subject of
them. Carewe leaves Rouen on bust
ness, and Mrs. Tanberry an old friend
of the family, comes 10, stay with Miss
Betty. one evening Miss Betty is sere-
naded by Vanrevel She recognizes his
voice and very properly despises him
for what she considers his infidelity to
his fiancee, Miss Bareaud. At a ball
shortly after VanreYel asks for a dance
and Miss Betty reluctantly and coldly
consents.

only one in the room not too dusty for
occupation; for here, at this hour, Tom
had taken his place every morning since
Elizabeth Carewe had come from the
convent. The window was a coign of
vantage. commanding the corner of
Carewe and Main streets. Some dis
lance west of the corner, the Catholic
Church cast its long shadow across
Main street. and. in order to enter the
church. a person who lived upon Care
we street must pass the corner. or else
make a half-mile detour and approach
from the other direction-which the
person never did. Tom had thought it
out the first night that the image Of
Miss Betty had kept him awake-and
that was the first night. Miss Carewe
spent in Rouen-the st. Mary's girl
would be sure to go to mass every day,
which was why the the window ledge
was busted the next morning.
The glass doors of the little corner
drug store caught the early sun of the
hot May morning and became like
sheets of polished brass; a farmers
wagon ratified down the dusty street; a
group of Irish mattresses from the hotel
made the board walk rattle under their
hurried steps as they went toward the
church, talking busily to one another;
and a blinking youth in his shirt
.
but not gladly, risen, began to struggle
mournfully with the shutters of Mad
rillon's bank. A moment later, Tom
heard Cralley come down the stairs,
sure of foot and humming lightly to
himself. The door of the office was clos
ed; Crailey did not look in, but pres
emily appeared smiling, trim, immacu-
late, all in white linen, on the opposite
side of the street, and offered badinage
to the boy who toiled at the shutters.
The bell had almost ceased to ring
when lady dressed plainly in black,
but graceful and TALL came rapidly out
of Carewe street, turned at the corner
by the little drug store, and went to-
ward the church. They boy was left
staring, for Crailey's banter broke off
in the middle of a word.
He overlook her on the church steps.
and they went in together
That afternoon Fanchon Bareaud told
Tom how beautiful her betrothed had
been to her; he had brought her great
bouquet of violets and lilies-of- the-val-
ley, and had taken her to the cemetery
to place them on the grave of her baby
brother, whose birthday it was. Tears
came to Fanchons eyes as she spoke Of
her lovers goodness, and of how Won
derfully he had talked as they stood
beside the little grave.
He was the only one who remennber-
ed that this was poor tiny Jeans birth
day." she said, and sobbed. He came
just after breakfast and asked me to
GO out there with him.

4 CHEESE FACTORY
FOR UNION.

About year ago, Mr.. NJ. V. Rich
ards, industrial agent of the Southern
Railway, induced stock raiser and
dairyman OF Illinois to come 10 this state
He settled at Easley and established p
cheese factory, having previously in
duced farmers in the vicinity to keen
milk COWS, and he himself went into the
business also. AS a res ult, the factory
had IN abundant supply of the necessary
raw prOduct,n and it proceeded to
manufacture cheese in large quantities
The operation cf it was under the direc-
ton OF Mr.. Noight, who has been in the
same business in Illinois. The factory
was a success from The start, and all of
Its product is disposed of at a good prof
1t as fast as it Cal. be turned out.
Mr.. Noigt is expected to visit our
county shortly after Christmas for
the purpose of negotiating with stock
raisers and others in forming a com
pany to build cheese factory in this
section, and will take a part of the
stok himself to prove his faith in the
enterprise.
The cost of such fac tory is not
great, but the company would have
TO establish dairy herd of it's own
as nucleus for the supply Of milk.
While it would be necessary to start
On small scale for lack of milk COWS
here, it is believed that milk from 200
or 300 COWS could be obtained in a
year or two, making this business
one OF the most profitable ever estab-
lished in the State.

FARMERS OUGHT
TO POST LANDS

"The indiscriminate hunting that
follows the opening of the season is
convincing proof that the farmers
are standing in their own light by
neglecting to post their lands, Every
community has number Of individ-
uals, white or colored, who are in
position to hunt almost every day,
and as a general rule they are going
in every direction for this purpose,
while the owner of the land does not
have the time or inclination to hunt,
but his neighbors are slaughteripg
the game constantly and reducing
the number in large quantities every
year. This is to be deplored on every
remedy against this evil the owners
of land should cooperate with each
other in protecting their lands.
"Why is it that farmers are usually
so careless or indifferent in regard to
posting their lands? Usually the
| persistent and indiscriminate hunters
belong to class that is non-observant
of the laws generally, and they do
not have an abiding interest in the
welfare Of the neighborhood, so that
| the posting Of lands is desirable in
order to rebnke these trespassers
upon the rights of others. Every
worthy citizen who desires to hunt
can obtain permission from some OF
his friends, and it Is not unneighborly
or selfish to protect the game from
| determination, as is sometimes the
case. Only few days ago n gentle
man told US that u regular camping
party had been on his farm for days
and that rabbits were killed by them
and left ia the fields.
1.-The law against general and pro
miscuous hunting is right and proper
but it can never be enforced unles:
there is sentiment in it's favoI
among the farmers who are most in
tercsted in the matter. The mere
fact that lands are posted against un
lawful trespassers will help to en-
force the other provision of the Law
that prohibits hunting during certain
seasons, and this was enacted with
the intention of protecting game
but if the posting is disregarded b.
the land owner, this fact goes lon,
way to convince others that he doe
not care whether or not the law j
obeyed, and hence the man VIII
wishes to violate the law takes ad
vantage of his carelessness and indii
ference"
The above, taken from the Green
vile Mountaineer, Col. Hoyt's paper
is good advice to land owners, an
should be needed by them.
The indiscriminate trespassing b
hunters and others, is really one forr
of that spirit Of lawlessness so preva
lent in these times, and which is S

Biological Survey, U. S. Department.
OF Agriculture, of the food of the
dove, prove this bird to be of incal-
culable value. The examination of
the contents of 237 stomachs of the
dove shows over 99"6 of it's food con-
sists wholly Of vegetable matter in
the shape Of seeds; less than 70 be-
ing animal food. Some instances of
the enormous numbers. Of seeds that
individual birds consumed will be of
interest. In one stomach were found
800 seeds, in another 6,40O seeds,
ard third had eaten 5000 seeds.
The three doves in question bene-
fitted the farmers, on whose land
they fed, by destroying %, 100 pros
pective weeds. Is there farmer in
this land who would not welcome as
81 friend the man who would offer to
uproot and kill 23,100 weeds? Yet
because the doves go about silently
and upobstrusively, and make no
loud boasts about the good they are
doing, they are thought of little or no
value. In many sections of the coun-
try this valuable, harmless, and gem
tie creature is considered as a semi
game bird, and is shot during large
part OF the year. 1t is question
for the farmers to settle whether
they will permit anyone to kill on
their land birds that annually de-
stroy tons of the seeds of noxious
plants and are thus worth so much
aS helpers on farms. The matter re-
solves itself into question of dollars
and cents to the farmers. If three
doves at one meal destroy %, 100
weed seeds, how much good will all
the doves on Il farm or in q State, or
il the country at large accomplish
Or, to present the case in another
way, how much will it cost in time,
labor, and actual cash, to destroy
what the doves will eat if they are
protected and encouraged to remain
on the farms. The farmers in. the
United States spend enormous sums
, for labor; how much of this is paid
for killing weeds, and how much of il
could be saved If no doves had been
killed but all had been protected and
permitted to perform the work that
the Creator designed them to do!
The dove is far too valuable an auxil
; iary to the agriculturists to have il
: classed as a game bird. It's value
S consists in it's weed-destroying activ
5 ities, and not in the few ounces O

: hand when the farmers of the coun
try will protect the dove as CAREFUL
