A Delightful Wedding.

From Concord and Charlotte,
N. c., papers of recent date the
following facts are gathered con-
corning most elegant and de-
lightful wedding, celebrated in
the Holy Trinity Ev. Lutheran
Church at Mt. Pleasant, a vii
lage in that section, on the even
ing of May 18th.
The high contracting parties
were Miss E. Virginia Clay
Shoup, third daughter of the
family of that name in this colo
ny, and Rev. J. L. Morgan, a re-
cent graduate of North Carolina
College and Mt. Pleasant Luth-
eran Theological Seminary at
Charleston, S. c., and pastor of
the Enochville Lutheran Church,
Rowan Co. n. C.
The wedding was arranged in
connection with the commence
ment exercise of Mt. Amoena
Ladies Seminary, where the
bride had been connected as pu-
pill and teacher for nine years.
1t was said to be the most largely
attended occasion of the kind
ever held in that community.
The ceremony was performed
by the brides father, Rev. ]. B.
Shoup, who made visit to North
Carolina for that purpose, while
the brides maids, Miss Ruth,
sister of the bride, and Miss M.
Barrier, a companion in the Sem
mary, and the best men we're
two young clergymen, class
mates of the groom. The eight
young ladies forming this years
graduating class served as ushers
and attendants, and class-mate
of the bride presided at the
organ.
The esteem in which these
young people are held is indicated
by the fact that more than one
hundred presents, many both ele-
giant and costly, were received
by the bride alone, prior to the
weddi9g. These young people
proceeded Immediately to the
parsonage at Enochville, N. c.,
some 16 or IS miles distant,
where a most cordial reception
was rendered them at the par
sonage next day. Many gifts
were delivered to them especially
such things as are needed by
young housekecrs. The next
morning they found even chick
ems of all sizes in the yard wait
ing to be fed, also corn and hav
in the barn and a nice garden
planted fAr their use and the
pantry Wi filled with good.
things to eA.
These kind people, am told,
have been making preparations
to give their pastor and his bride
a warm welcome and a hearty re-
ception.
Miss Ruth will remain. for a
time at least, with her sister and
her new brother, the Rev. and
Mrs. J. L. Morgan, after which
she may engage herself as
school marm. -

back of it, but she did not think it
wise to question her. There was Mr..
Wolffe's sudden departure too.
Could there be any connection be-
tween the abrupt leave-taking of the
two men? The enigma was quite
beyond her solving, and there APP
peared to be no inclination on Miss
Densmore's part to solve it for her.
The latter fingered for a moment,
and then passed leisurely from the
room. She assembled the stairs, en-
tered her chamber, and closed the
door. She did not strike a light at
once, but sat down upon the edge
of the bed and gazed wide-eyed at the
wall.
She recalled what she had said on
the night of the hop-dance, and also
her talk with Rossiter on the pre-
ceding evening. Her promise to
herself" he had called it, her asser-
ton in regard to her after-thought
of her hop-picking life. Tears start
ed into her eyes. Had he come to
say good-by to her, as she surely ex-
pected that he would, she had meant
to call upon her in Illica, and some
thing in her heart told her he would
have come. Now she felt that in
all likelihood she should never see
him again. He had not revealed to
her his home-or the place that he
had once called home; she had gath
cred that it was one of the large
eastern cities, and that he was re-
turning thither to begin life anew,
that was all. The chapter seemed to
her irrevocably closed.
At length she rose, lighted cam
die and unfolded the crumpled scrap
of paper. "Good-by. God bless
you" she read, and then his sigma
ture-"P Philip Rossiter." She extin-
guished the candle, and going to the
window looked long at the sky and
the fast-thickening stars. Then she
walked to the bureau, opened one
of the drawers and taking therefrom
q little box Of Venetian glass which
held some treasured trinkets,
snapped back the lid and laid the Pc
per caressingly among them.

CHAPTER XII.
AN ARRIVAL.

In the light wagon, propped up be-
tween Jack Parmelee and Dick Whit
tlesey, Rossiter rode back to the Mer-
ton farm. AT first everything was a
daze to him, but soon the air revived
him somewhat, and before the house
was reached, save for giddiness and
dull throbbing in his head, he fancied
he was quite himself. He was glad
of the aid of Parmelee's stout arm.

CHAPTER XI.-CoNr1NUEp.


"Parmeleei Parmelee!'' he shout
ed.
There was "a faint cry in answer.
"Whiskers" renewed his attack upon
Mr.. Merton, but Simpson stopped
short, and the man who was gripping
the horses head glanced about in ap-
prehension.
THE games up, 'Whiskers,'" said
Simpson, wed better make tracks,"
Not if hell splits!" cried the furi-
Gus tramp, and he caught from the
roadside a bludgeon which he had
evidently dropped in order the better
to use his hands, and menaced the
now defenceless Mr.. Merton.
THAT bag o money, or I'll brain
vel" he shouted.
RoSsiter made n rush at Simpson.
The man was powerful but awkward,
while Rossiter had never lost the
agility of his college days. There was
no graphing, though the Farmland
made clutch at his antagonist, a sec
ond afterwards to reel blindly back
ward under fierce blow that landed
upon his jaw. Then Rossiter was
past him. The bludgeon was poised
IN "Whiskers' hand, and Mr.. Merton
was fumbling in his pocket, when
Parmelee's shout from the crest of
the dip caused the tramp to turn. He
knew that their dastardly attempt
had failed. Even at that instant his
confederate released the struggling
horse, and the frightened animal
plunged forward. ''Whiskers'" ewes
were murderous. The young mans
impetuous leap past Simpson to Mr..
Merton's assistance had brought him
and the enraged vagabond face to
face. The long run and the violent
efforts he had since made seemed sud-
denly to tell upon his strength. He
felt his breath weaken. He was
aware of the swinging bludgeon and
of trying to dodge the blow, and then
1t was as though the earth had CAPPED
and swallowed him.
He returned to a consciousness of
existence through variety of painful
sensations, most of them in his head.
He opened his eyes.
Are they gomez" he asked weakly.
YES" someone said.
He knew the voice, and gained sud-
denly a clearer realization of his sur
roundings. Parmelee, Mr. Merton and
Dick Whittlesey were standing about
him, while over him Miss Densmore
was bending with a look which he
many, many times afterward ques-
toned himself, wondering if he had
seen it in a dream.

CHAPTER XIII.

GOOD-BY. TO THE HOP-FIELDs
When Miss Densmore stepped upon
the porch of the house she was alone.
Mr.. Wolfe had gone to the barn to
look after the Harvesting of his
horse His interview had had in it an
unmistakable element of finality, and
at last he realized the utter hone
iessness of further pleadings and pro-
testations. He could not understand
Miss Densmore's strange agitation
and fright at the noise in the bushes.
but why, he questioned, should he
now trouble his head about that?
His horse was shortly ready, he
sprang into the cart, gathered up
the reins, and started, in no very
amiable mood, on his 12-mile drive
to Illica.
AS Miss Densmore entered a mar
row side hallway she encountered
Jack Parmelee.
Your pole-puller left his good
byes, ne said. HE changed his
mind, I guess, about waitin' until
morning; thought mebbe he could
catch the train at Hintonville; want
ed me to give you this" and he held
out small slip of folded note-paper.
"Thank you,'' said Miss Densmore,
taking it and passing into the room
where Rossiter had been brought the
previous afternoon, and where her
cousin and aunt were now sitting.
1t was, then, even as she had feared:
Rossiter had heard a portion of Mr..
Wolffe's untimely declaration.
"Mr. Wolfe wished me to say
goodnight" she remarked to Miriam
and her aunt. cts so late that he
felt he must hasten back
MFR. Rossiter's gone. Did Jack tell
you?" exclaimed Miriam Wasn't it
queer he should start off so, and
never come in to say good-by? I
can't understand it. Really, I feel
quite hurt"
"Oh, / suppose he thought if he
waited to say good-by to everyone
he wouldn't catch the train" re-
turned Miss Densmore with assumed
indifference
This attitude on her cousins part
seemed so unnatural that Miss Mer-
ton fell to Wondering what could be

A Strange Little Pupil in Salem Female
Academy.

Academy.
Miss Zintka Lanuni, an Indian,
arrived in Salem Monday as a pupil
in Salem Female Academy. She is
twelve years old and will make the
Academy her home until she gradu-
ates. When seven months old little
Zintka was found by General Colby
after. the big battle on Wounded
Knee Greek, as a result of the Indian
uprising in South Dakota and Ari-
IONA. After the battle, in the sad
duty of burying the dead on both
sides of the bloody conflict, Zintka,
a dusky Indian babe, was found be-
side the lifeless body of her mother
alive but slightly frozen upon her
head and feet, and was taken to the
lodge of Yellow Bird, where she was
cared for several weeks and then re-
turned to the hostile camp at the
Pine Ridge Agency. General Colby,
who IS said to have Indian blood IN
his veins, was touched at the pathos
of the story of the little waif, and
after some difficulty succeeded in get
ting the child entrusted to his care
and keeping. At the close of hostili-
ties he brought her to his home in
Nebraska, where for twelve years she
has made her home. He gave her
the name of Zintka Lanuni, or "Lost
Bird" The child has a pleasant
face, regular features and is digni-
fed and queenly in her bearing. She
takes kindly to civilization and is an
apt pupil.-Winston Republican.

Farmer BOYS.

Most of the boys who read Farm
and Ranch, and those, too, who write
for the Cousins League, are boys
on the farm. To the farm the world
is largely indebted for her successful
men and her great men. Among
those who have risen to the highest
gift at the hands of their country
men, in own country, we give
the names of several of our Presi-
dents, who were born and grew up on
the farm:
John Adams, the second President,
was the son of a farmer of very
moderate means. The only start he
had was a good education. =
Andrew Jackson was born in a log
hut in North Carolina, and was
raised in the pine woods for which
that State is famous.
