But Fate, the master playwright,
had ordained that influences | had
not foreseen should fill the stage for
many an hour ere / reached the
CASTILLO Rondo in far-off Italy. In
TACT, none of US had taken into
account Karl's mother.
Mrs. Grier was not enamoured of
high society as it IS understood in Lon
don. She was a German, and she had
never lost her Teutons tastes. First
and necessarily a good housekeeper,
she gave her spare time to reading
She hardly ever glanced at a news
paper, nor did she dawdle through
more than one novel a year. She kept
her household accounts, contrived
economies IN an annual expenditure
Of many thousands, looked after the
practical management OF certain eS-
tates, and for the rest saw as little as
possible of fashionable folk, but
isolated herself with some portentous
PROFESSIONAL treatise on the more seri-
Gus matters of life or sought relaxa-
ton in the pages of her beloved
Schiller
This was excellent while Grier senior
was accumulating riches and Karl
followed the beaten track leading to
d suitable marriage and a peerage.
But she had lost none OF her maternal
love for her wonderful son, and her
shrewd ewes soon OWNED the anxiety
of her husband, the silent endurance of
Karl. AT first her questions en-
countered certain gentle evasiveness.
She persisted, and the elder Grier
admitted that all was not well between
Karl and Nora.
Then the mother entered the arena,
and YOU need never ask in whose
behalf she drew the sword. IF Karl
does not want to marry Nora Cazenove,
why are you trying to force him
into a distasteful match?" she de-
manded of her distressed partner.

He knew that his mothers heart
rebelled against the suggestion of
stranger taking part in affairs so vital
to himself of which she had been
kept in ignorance.
With a well-assumed care1essness,
he told her how Hooper and | were
planning to expedite his wooing, and
he SO insisted on the humor of our
dark conspiracy, when he was fully
aware of each act and word, that he
won smile to her kindly face. Yet
her alarmed perplexity did not abate.
There was a subtle change in Karl
which IN no way escaped her. He
was thinner, altogether unstrung and
devitahzed. She was conscious, too,
of physical tension in his attitude
which was strangely at variance with
the wonted suppleness of an athletic
youngster of his fine proportions.

she asked musingly.

That is a part of the plot"
Very well. Be ready to take me
to the hotel in half an hour. There is
flower show at Richmond which l wish
to visit We shall call for Mr.. Hooper,
drive to Richmond, pass sometime
at the show, and return here for tea"
In a word, Karl was to be tied to
his mothers apron-strings for awhile.
And Hooper was to be drawn judi
oiously. 1t was simple expedient;
Mrs. Grier had failed utterly to recog-
nize the real nature of the problem
which faced her, and not her alone,
but all of us. Her sons sixth sense
had always remained a thing apart
and wholly incomprehensible She
had heard little of it during recent
years. The pranks he used to play
occasionally served only to amuse her.
Thus, he could summon any servant

Experts will Gather Ants.

Washington, April 15.-The severe
weather of laet winter killed most OF
the Guatemalan ants that were recent
ly brought to Texas frem Central
America to wage war on the boil
weevil, the destructive cotton pest in
that State. In consequence the De.
partment Of Agriculture 10 chortly to
send to Central America by way Of
this port party Of four or Eve experts
Oh the subject Of collecting new and
large quantities Of these ants and ship
them TO Texas as quickly as the work
san be done.
Last winter was unusually cold in
Texas and the entomolog;sts of the
Department Of Agriculture are con-
vinoed that under ordinary conditions
the ant, or kelep as it is called, can
thrive and successfully attack and
overcome in q large measure the weevil.
The Government authorities are said
to be fully convinced from expert
ments already made with these ants
that they display no tendency to de-
stroy cotton or other crops, confning
themselves solely to the weevil. In
all the nests of the ants SO far found
in Texas the remnants Of many weevil
were found, which indicates to the
authorities that the kelep fed on the
Weevil as long as he survived The rig
ors Of the winter. ..5

Decency And Cash.

The Chicago and Alton Railroad
company has issued rules for its en-
ployes forbidding then to visit saloons,
race tracks, dance halls or other re-
sorts where liquor is sold or gambling
permitted.
A cranky idea of some official? Not
at all. General Passenger Agent
Charlton says: "All the things which
are prohibited either tend or might
tend perma ,ently or porarily to
impair mans physical and mental
powers"
Plain enough. 1t is business mat
ter. The railroad requires the best
service the man can give. The SER
vice depends upon the habits Of the
man. Therefore the prohibition.
The railroad company is not trying
to reform men. It is not heading a
crusade against vice or immortality.
1t is engaged in the railroad business.
If that business is injured or affected
by .he bad habits of aa employe,
either the employe must quit his bad
habits or quit the employment of the
company.
And thus does the strenuous re-
quirment of this commercial age min
lister to morals.
A man may pooh pooh sentiments
about temperance and morality. He
may say the company is interfering
with his personal liberty. It ma tiers
not. Everywhere he goes the neoes-
sity for sobriety and steadiness of
habits confronts him.
The employe is free to do as he
pleases 30 long as he pleases to be
decent. Which is after all the true
measure of personal liberty.

into the Red River. Several whiskey
peddlers were encamped in a grove

sprang to their arms and poured a

The peddlers thought that she was
insane.
She told them that the "blood of

Grizzly Bears And PantIsrs.

In the mountains of Wyoming
where have hunted for years, Won
can find most any kind of savage
animal that you get in America ex.
cept alligators. Grizzlies, black bears
and mountain lions are commonly
killed there" says Hugh Shiverly. Of
Sheridan, Wyo. "some Of the men
that come out there to hunt think
that II they stir one hundred yards
away from camp they must be armed
to the teeth for fear Of being attack
ed by bear or panther and killed.
There's heap more danger Of getting
killed on account of leaving your gun
at home when you go down Marked
street, Some one might shoot you on
the street in big city, but it is dead
sure that bear or mountain lion
will never attack you unless you drive
him to it.
I've hunted through the best dis
tricts for big game in the country, and
I've seen good many grizzlies, but
We never seen one Of them go after
man unless he was cornered or
! wounded. If you run into a grizzly
bear in lonely place you'll hear a
grunt, something like that of nam.
moth hog, and then there will be o.
mighty crashing Of underbrush as he
makes off in the opposite direction as
fast as be can go. All you can gen.
orally see of the mountain lion is O.
tawny streak as he makes off at in
credible speed. If he has any inten.
tion of being after you it must be
his intention to go around the world
and catch you in the rear, for if you
are standing to the east of him he is
sure to go due west.
Mountain lions i'm the winter time
will follow sleighs at distance, wall.
ing as they go, but there is not hing
in that to inspire. terror, for I d ont
think they have ever been known to
close in on anybody. Their terror of
human beings is the thing which
makes them hard to shoot. In all the
time that have been in the. noSn-
rains 1 have never heard of any one
being attacked by wild animal that
had been leftstrictly alone. ButI've
known men to be killed even by deer
when the brute was driven to desper-
alton.
"Grizzlies are the best game in the
world. When you once get their dan
der up they are savage fighters, and
the hunters life is in danger every
minute unless he is good shot and
he's steady nerve. II yo.. ever &c.
within reach of the grizzly's paw you
are dead one. These stories Of
men killing them with knives in
hand-to-h hand fights are about as
responsible as it would be to talk Of
stopping q locomotive by getting ia
the way of the train. If the big fell
low gets the chance to deliver one
blow it ia all over. There was q griz.
zly up our way that the cowboys call
ed Big Ben, who killed shout one
hundred and fifty steers before he was
finally shot. Il
He would break steer neck at one
blow, and then he would pick him up
and uarry him off to secluded place.
Grizzlies look awkward, but they are
mighty light on their feet, and they
can beat any man in q footrace.

5000, 900 spindles. In short, South
Carolina is already second to Massa-
chusetts as cotton manufacturing
State. What all this is doing for New
Eorland can speedily be guessed.
| have asked many people what it
is makes cotton land 80 chcar. when
cotton prospects are 50 great. Why
can cotton land be bought for so or
less l'er acre, when common farmer
can net SD an acre or this land III
cotton: This Is grca, puzzle. The
answer az" never aIIhe. Some at
tntnt" it 10 the Has' plantations oi
ante heIium days briuf cut up into

hall cnlti"afc. by ignorant negroes,
and sometimes Ey a ignorant whites.
Others CLAIM that slave system IS
necessary to Keep land up in hot
climate, where the white man is
physically not iittcd to work. OH
crs say the land has been absolutely
worn cl' BY an everlasting repetition
OF cotton planting and these men
are looking to the phosphate beds
within the earth to revivify the fields
upon the earth. Fertilizing with
phosphatcs almost doubles the pro-
duction, though the cost varies from
*l2 to SD per acre.
OF course no one comes to Charles
ton without going out to the bay, to
look upon, if only from the outside,
the water fortress that made the city
famous in both the Revolutionary and
the civil wars. Bloodier fighting
never occurred in America than in
some of the fearful encounters on Nor
ris Island Some Of these forts, no
