for Winnie, she seemed to be literally
in great draughts of happiness.
As looked I made up my mind.

''be good enough to retire for few
moments to the other end of the
room or outside of the door, which
ever you prefer. Winnie, come here =
She came close up to me and ]
said, Give me your hand"
She put her slender little hand In
mine.
II know your story, my child, said
I. "but you do not even know my

for me. Would you like to make
your home with me, Winnie? It may

that the day is not far off when you
will want to fly away to o little nest

n WARD IN
CHANGER Y.

BIZ JOHN Z. LEYs.

Sal IN my Dath chair at the cor
ner of the square alone, for had
sent my man to dispatch telegram
and it was pleasanter for me to wait
in that quiet spot than in the busy
thoroughfare. 1t was warm day
and the sun shone with soft, mellow
radiance on the yellow leaves that
were clinging to the trees in the gar.
den of the square or fluttering
. quietly to rest on their parent earth.
No passengers were to be seen; but
for. the dull sound from the far of
streets the silence was profound.
The melancholy of autumn-that
season of spent endeavor, of slow de-
cay, of rest-was in the air.
Most of the houses in the square
were shut, their owners not yet re-
turned from the country; but one
very large house was evidently in
habited. 1t filed the center Of the
block facing the square on my right.
] was wondering what it could be,
for the building seemed too large for
aiprivate dwelling house, when my
attention was attracted by,a. young
mana youth, ought rather to say,
for he did not seem to be more than
10 or 20-who was slowly pacing
along the pavement close to the rail
ings that Enclosed the square gar
den, looking all the time at the large
house I have just mentioned. 1t
seemed almost as if he were expect
ing or hoping to see the face of
some one he knew appear at one Of
I the tall windows. And what particu-
larry struck me was that as he
walked he touched with his fingers
every fourth one Of the iron uprights
that formed the railing.
He came nearer and nearer to me,
still touching as he went, and then
when he. had reached the corner,
without noticing me in the least, he
turned round and retraced his steps,
still touching the ratings. But il
seemed to me that he did not lay his
hand ON the same nprights that he
had touched before.
This circumstance stimulated nv
idle curiosity. Those who have
known as have what it is to lie fol-
many hours too weak to read OF
talk, prey to wandering fancies
will understand me when I say that
became intensely anxious to know
why he was touching those ratings
There did not seem to be any way Of
satisfying myself on this point, and
I strove- this will explain my state
of mind as well as anything I can
say strove to make sure that he
was really putting his fingers or
different uprights from those he had
touched when he was walking toward
me. There was q ready way of set.
Ting this point. Every twelfth u1,
right terminated in a spike some
6nches higher than the others, and
observed that he had touched tn,
high ones us he came toward me
If he touched one Of them now,
\ was wrong; If he touched the mex
to one Of the high ones, then i wa,
right.
sz a few seconds told me that I wa,
right. The youth laid his fingers q,
the upright beyond the tall on,
every time. And So he went on til
4 he reached the further corner Of tn,
square.

first brought to my attention I was
suffering from q complication Of kid

which usually results from kidney COM
plants, / had . great deal Of trouble
with the secretions, which were ex-
ceedingly variable, metimes excessive

lice headquarters this morning and made

Florida Oranges by the Millions.

There will be big orange crop in Flor
ida next fall, and it will exceed by far the
expectations of the average man who takes
an interest in the industry said T. A.
Graves of Tallahassee to Star man at the
Shoreham II have heard estimates of the
coming crop from a good many of the
growers as we'll from some of those who
have been dealing in Florida oranges, and
all of them appear to be inclined to under
estimate the crop. believe there will be
nearly two and half million boxes of or
anges raised in Florida the coming year.
This is pretty far ahead to make an esti-
mate, but in view of the fact that there is
practically no danger now, so far as this
winter is concerned, estimate can be
made, allowing, of course, for a change in
the event that the weather conditions dur
ing the summer will not be such as to ma
terially affect the CROP
