CHAPTER, XXI.


A soft evening in June. The sky of a
deep, cloudless blue, save towards the
west, where the sun Is sinking into sea
of crimson light. Not breath of air is
stirring-the trees are motionless; not
the culver of leaf. There is buzz Of
| insect life in the air, mingled with the
music of the birds. Upon a lawn, over
which is scattered numerous flower beds,
gay with bright colored blossoms, stretch
ing before a picturesque cottage covered
with roses, sit three men. One is young,
not more than twenty; the second is a
stout. ford, benevolent looking man;
the third la thin-visaged, sad-looking,
with iron-gray hair. The three men
were l, Silas Morant, Mr.. Jonathan Rod
well. and my father My father was
speaking-"What his ultimate intentions
could have been, l am at loss to I'M
derstand. Probably to cast me, in my
insensible state, into the flames"
(which, 1t seems, after all. he did not
kindle," said Mr.. Jonathan, shuddering
at the remembrance.
THAT IL the most wonderful circum-
stance Of all. Chance, or destiny. or
| whatever you please to call it, had actu-
ally anticipated him, Porter must have
overthrown his lamp in a state of stupor.
Judith lived long enough to tell how she
had seen the fire first In her fathers
room, and he lying across the chair, dead
| or insensible."
II could not help plying the unfortu
nate creature" said Mr.. Jonathan, 'in
spite of the evil she had wrought. She
at least deserved a better fate than to
perish by the brutal violence Of the man
whom she loved so devotedly."
81 have often thought" said my faith
er, "what a divine mercy it was that
only one Of the kilograms fell into that
wretched mans hands. 1t appears that
the lad had put one in his pocket-the
one addressed to you, Mr.. Rodwell-and
was holding the other in his hand, when
he ran against his master, who snatched
it from him and forbade him to leave
the house. The lad said nothing about
the other, but watched his opportunity
to leave the premises, and deliver it at
the Office. The delay, however, was very
near proving fatal to more than one Of
u.s."
"That unhappy man." said Mr.. Jona-
than, had telegraphed to say that he
would be with me that night. But
felt half inclined to start for Essex with
out waiting for him, and chance the con-
dition of the house. But look! here are
two old friends Of yours coming this
way, Silas."
Such was the fact. Walking up the
pathway towards the house were Martha
Jennings and Josiah Cook.
FASTENED to meet the good, kind crea-
ture who had sheltered me, fed me and
clothed me when l was houseless and
destitute. She was dressed with I'M
usual smartness-a white bonnet, blue
silk dress, and a bright-coleFed, or rath-
er many-colored, shawl. Josiah was also
got up In an unusual style; bright green
satin necktie, buff waistcoat and white
hat.
After a little conversation. the secret
came out; the worthy pair had been mar

from the bowels Of the earth. He looks

A wild, piercing cry of agony rises

A frightful scream bursts from Silas'
lips; but his companion grasps his
hands, drags him under the window, and
stretching out both their arms, shouts
to her to jump. Just in time-the flames
cling to her dress as she falls.
At that moment a carriage tears up
the drive--two policemen spring from
the box, and an old gentleman jumps out,
and falls into the group.

An Interesting Relic.

Lieutenant Governor Frances d.
Winston has presented to the Hall of
History a very interesting relic of the
Civil War, this being the coat of his
uncle, Lieutenant Colonel Francis w.
Byrd, of the Eleventh North Carolina
troops, who was a lieutenant in Com
pany F. the color company Of the First
North Carolina volunteers known as
the Bethel regiment at the battle of
Bethel. His old company went in at
Gettysburg with eighty-seven men and
came out with one officer and two
men. His life was twice saved from
bullet wounds. once by silver watch
of the heaviest kind and at another
time by prayer book given him by
his mother. A bullet smashed the
watch and the other bullet penetrated
half way through the prayer book.
He was killed at the battle of Realms

six to twelve hours by routing by
Aberdeen & Rockfish' Railroad.
This road running from Hope Mills
to Aberdeen passes through parts of
Cumberland, Robson and Moore
counties, and on the line of this rail-
road is some of the finest farming
lands in the State. The cotton farms
around Raeford are fast becoming as
much talked about as those of MARI
boro, s. c., and the lands along the
western part of the road are unsur-
passed for melons and fruits.
The famous Bethune Hill is a point
of interest on the line of the road, as
being a place where fruits have never
been known to be killed by late frosts
in the spring.
The fine trucking lands from Hope
Mills to Raeford along this line, are
fast being taken up, and advancing

This is a glorious section of oul
country and is destined to be densely
