said, half to herself and half to the

scrutinized John Burt. She noted
that he was well dressed; that he
was not barefooted, like most farmer

self-possessed.

that the approaching governess
should not hear her.

Burt in puzzled smile. What

he :cyed her children. his expression
OF affection took a peculiar form. He
made no secret of his favoritism Tor
Robert Burns Burt, the only child of
his first wife.
Robert was a boy of whom any
father would be proud. At twelve he
was sent to school in bingham. At
nineteen he entered Harvard, gradu-
ating in four years with honors. AT
ter two more years devoted to law
course. he began practice in Boston,
and his success was instantaneous.
For ten years after the death of his
wife, Peter Burt conducted the farm
of his forefathers. One after another

never to return. One night after sup

ing children that he was going to sea-
He had bought an interest in a whal-
ing vessel, and would sail from New
Bedford in week. To Sarah-the
eldest of the children-he gave three
hundred dollars, together with in
structions concerning the manage
ment of the farm. He did not know
how long he would be gone--it might
be year or it might be five. With
some tenderness he kissed the weep
ing orphans, and tramped down the
road in the direction of bingham.
Five years later the Segregansett

paid off his men, disposed of his in

had lived alone in the old house. A
week later the boy was sent to school

in Boston, and Peter Burt began his
solitary occupancy of the ancestral
| home.
Shortly before Peter Burt's return
Robert had married, and the old man
was delighted when the young couple
made visit to the old farm. The
following year John Burt was born,
and Peter Burt journeyed to Boston
to witness the christening.

In the opinion of his neighbors,
Peter Burt was crazy from the hour

road saw lights burning through all

CHAPTER FOUR.
James Blake.

John Burt was fourteen years ole
when he first met James Blake. The
elder Blake had purchased the ole
Leonard farm, and SO had become the
nearest neighbor of Peter Burt. There
were several children in the Blake
| family, but this narrative has concern
only with James, the eldest, boy of
John Burt's age.
The two farms were separated by a
creek, which, at a place called the
Willows, widened to a pool, famed as
fishing and swimming place. One
June morning John was seated on a
log spanning the narrow neck of this
reach of water. He had landed a
bass, when the cracking of twigs and
the swaying of the underbrush on the
farther side of the creek attracted his
attention.
A moment later boy emerged
from the thicket. He surveyed John
with an expression more of contempt
than Of surprise. The new conner was
a tall, well-formed lad, straight as an
arrow, quick and graceful in his
movements. He also carried a rod,
which he rested against the log; and
for few seconds he calmly gazed at
John Burt.
"Hello!"
"Hellol" answered John Burt.
"Fishin'?"
No; swimming" replied John.
Think you're smart, don't ye?" re-
sponded the strange boy as he baited
his hook. "Crazy Burt's boy, amt
We? No objection to my fishin', have
your"
There was a haunting sarcasm In
his voice, and defiance in his air.
Without waiting for reply he cast
his line into the water.
"You can fish as long as you please
on your own side of the creek" said
John sullenly. For hall an hour no
word was spoken. John caught four
bass during that time, while Jim
hooked only eel grass. Then he cast |
MS line across the pool, dropping 1t a
few feet from Johns line.
John Burt's face flushed angrily.

With defiant grin. IF it is, what

AS he spoke John brought his hook

About Rheumatism,

There are few diseases that inhict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for which
such a varied and useless lot of rem
edies have been suggested. To say
that it can be cured is, therefore, a
bold statement to make, but Chamber
lain's Pain Balm, which enjoys an ex-
tensive sale, has met with great sue
cess in the treatment of this disease.
One application of Pain Balm will re-
lieve the pain, and hundreds of suf-
ferers have testified to permanent cures
by it's use. Why suffer when Pain
Balm affords such quick relief and
costs but a trile? For sale by Smith

JILL IN COLUMBIA.
He Is Satisfied That His Cotton
Warehouse Scheme Is a
Success.

Od44ie4 ;. SuliJ, oo "Ao IN
bonaire as a body could we'll be, was
in Columbia on Monday. says the Co.
lumbia correspondent of the News
and Courier. He seemed in the best
humor. was elegantly dressed and
brim full Of his ware house scheme.
He talked most cheerfully, and is sat-
isfied that his project is a certain
success. He has now been out OF
New York. his headquarters. for two
weeks, and during that time has Wis
tied many points and finds much en-
couragement throughout the south.
Mr.. Sully says that the south's saliva
ton is in a complete ware house sys-
TEN by which it can regulate the SELL
ing of its crop. He says that he has
had the most cordial support and en-
couragenent OF his plans, which call
for a series OF ware houses throughout
the entire south. He says that his
plans are to provide ware houses cap
able OF accommodating as many as
100000 bales of cotton. Mr.. Sully
has made arrangements with II OF
the largest Trust companies in the
country to guarantee the ware house
receipts. so that the borrower on
stored cotton can obtain the mini
mum rate of insurance.
Mr.. Sully thinks that in time the
ware houses can guarantee grades
and approximate weights, and IN
this way be of great help to the ex-
port trade and of incalculable service
to the southern farmer.
It is the firm opinion Of Mr.. Sully,
that the farmers of the south have
much more to expect from a first
class and strong ware house system
than from almost anything they
have in view.
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Sully and
his associates to acquire by purchase
standard ware houses wherever they
are found and where they can be
bought to advantage.
Purchases are to be made rather
than new buildings erected, but only
standard ware houses are to be &C
quired.
It is the expectation of Mr.. Sully
to close the transactions he has IN
hand between now and the 18th OF
Nav. and to have everything in read
mess for the approaching cotton sea-
son.
From Columbia to St. Louis is the
programme of MI. Sul1y, and he goes
there to talk ware houses to those
who are much interested in the sue
cess of the undertaking.
Mr.. Sully, before leaving the city
gave out this interview regarding his
trip south:
The Southern Cotton Association
has been the means of untold benefit
to the cotton producers and the cot
