Your fond fancies as you dig?
Does it harrow to the marrow
AS you pace rOur quarters narrow
Dreaming of the Storied glory
or the pig?
For time was. ere man got at you
Using squalid means to fat you,
That you were to be congratu-
Lated on a figure tcig.
And most daintily you ate your
Food, less mingled in its nature,
Fine of face, full fair and graceful

Oh. the S. p. c. A. be gracious:

For although some genius f1ighty
Has described the pen as mighty
You'll admit a sword were filter

Alfretti knew by these last words
that her mind was a blank since the
ime of her disappearance. She had
been the victim of some mental aber-
ration and had been wandering-God
knew where. Quickly he fabricated
some story explaining everything. and
set her mind at rest. Then he secret

pearance in her presence.

The conception was perfect, but
where throughout all Europe was to
be found the model? In his thoughts.
Margolins carefully went over the list
OF models that he knew. One or two
11me nearly to the standard he had
set for this piece, but not quite. He
Travelled, visiting the principal cities
of France Italy and Germany; then
returned to London. Still the model
OF his conception had not been found.
Once more he sought throughout Lon
don, hut without success. From those
who might have been hired for money,
Margolius turned to those in the
higher walks of life. There was a
subtle power he had always held in
reserve for some situation in which
every other eXpedient had failed
Should that power now be resorted

Nargolius sat one night in box
at Her sMajesty's Theater and sur
veyed the audience with his eyes,
from pit to roof and back again. Sew
elal times his gaze had fingered on
some especially beautiful woman to
study minutely the nature of Her
charm, only to be withdrawn at last
unsatisfied The boxes had been left
irviolated-for there sat the nobility.
But when the vast audience from the
pit to the roof had been passed in
review and found to yield not the
thing sought for, the vision Of the
artist began boldly to sweep the
boxes. One after another these glid
ed under his gaze, until an occupant
OF one of them arrested the attention
of Margolius with an electric-like sud-
denness. The Countess Alfretti who
with her husband was residing in Lon
don for the season, sat in box op-
posite that which was occupied by
kle artist; and hers were the face
and form that had made such sud
den appeal to his sense of perfection.
The model he had sought was before
him-but she was the Countess AL
fretti. However, smile of triumph
stole over the features of Margolius
and he determined that the Countess
should serve him.
The fame of Margolius gave him
entree to the best society of London,
and it was not long before he met the
Countess Alfretti and made tfal
of his subtle power She yielded
quickly-none had ever withstood it.
He found that he swayed her as the
breeze might sway some tender flow
er. In his presence she moved as in a
dream. but there was an ecstacy in
1t that was like the stimulus of old
wine to her.
One day, as the Countess was driv-

window. The artist was sitting there
and their eyes met. Instantly the
lady yielded to the hypnotic influence

expressed in his parting words. He
followed her moment with his eyes
then turned back into the house, with
an expression of deep satisfaction ex
pressed in his face.
Malgolius waited patiently few
days. But at last, one afternoon, late,
he passed the house which was occu-
pied by Alfretti and his wife. The
Countess was standing over some pot
flowers near the street. Margolius
spoke her name, and she turned quick
ly toward him. The strange power
Of his eyes at once compelled her, and
she became the automaton of his will.
But he had hardly stayed his footsteps

Margolius had invited her to visit his

POTATO PRICES.

The editor OF The Green Cove

Northern markets from a up; that H.,

leave q profit OF from 70 cents up to
81 70 on every barrel over all expenses.
Say you make clear OF all expenses
only $40 an acre, on the potato crop ;
that IL 90 much clear gain; then you
have your land ready fertilized for q
crop OF corn and hay, or a crop OF rice,
or sweet potatoes az you may decide
TO plant, and this second crop will be
clear gain or very nearly so, except
expense OF planting and gathering.
And we are unable TO see where the
Florida farmer has any kick coming.
Look 1T the farmers up in Maine, New

makes on that field OF potatoes 10 all
he gets from that field that year. He
cannot follow IL up with any other
