Perhaps the greatest weights borne

Chilli. Darwin visited a copper mine

AFTERMATH ROMANCE. :;
~~~~~A~>-~

77 I length Blakely was called,
IN and the old woman arose and
hurried out to the platform Of a
small country station.
Her heart sank. There was a long,
unpainted wooden building, which she
afterward learned was a cotton fac
tory. She could hear the harsh clack
of the looms. Around the mill were
several dozen small houses, all alike,
and all without shade trees or yards.
She looked eagerly for a mansion,
with piazzas and lawn, but there were
only the unpainted factory temenents,
with two or three buildings in the
midst Of them which might be stores
or offices.
1t seemed unutterably dreary and
lonesome, and Mary Hutchinson turn

carried her left arm in a strip of white
silk which pended from her neck. The
soldiers focked about her and were
profuse with congratulations.
excuse me, there is sankala, our
brave little heroine!' said Captain
Budlong and left Hazel and rushed to
grasp the hand of the orphan.
The men broke away at the ap-
proach of the commander. Captain
Budlong was full of praise for the girl,
inquired about her wounded ann and
was very attentive.
"May have the next waltz after
this one-pardon me Mr.. Lapham!"
said the captain turning to Sankala g
escort after making the request of her. !.
"Dan doesn't waltz" replied San
kala.
"Then may have this one-I will
be careful with the arm?' said the
captain for the music was just sarting
up and the dancers were beginning.
Certainly" replied Sankala as Dan
nodded his approval.
When the waltz was over Captain
Budlong escorted Sankala to q seat
near Hazel seadog. sankala spoke to
Hazel but the latter took no notice of
her. Captain Budlong saw it but
thought Hazel did not hear Sankala
speak.
~ have just had nice dance with

tain. "Don you think she is pretty
and good?"
\ "She is only one of our employees
and do not recognize her as social
equal" replied Hazel with all the Sea-
dog venom expressed in her voice and
eyes.
Captain Budlong looked sharply at
his companion. His first lieutenant
relieved Sankala's embarrassment by
leading her to another portion OF the
room. Dan Lapham was engaging q
number of fishermen at another por.
tion of the house by telling them of
the result of the peace commission g
labors.
The dance continued until nearly
midnight without farther incident when
a messenger rushed in, almost out Of
breath, and announced that Old Sea-
dog was dying.
"Ringwold, too, has collapsed and
is at the house of Seadog," said the
bearer of bad news.
Captain Budlong hurried away with
Hazel and Dan and Sankala followed.

Mary Hutchinson's lips trembled a lit

Was mingled with the muttered sum,
And from their covert in the vale
In plalntive pleading piped the quail.
With basket and with pail equipped,
Clear-eyed, tan-cheeked and berry-lipped,
Athwart the pastures, down the road,
They trudged to learning's poor abode;

The bare brown feet that knew no law
