over you suddenly came into my head !;
and there was another trouble that Mad
anne Grierson had bequeathed to me. She
had placed in her lawyers hands written
instructions that, unless the whole of the
principal was paid up by the thirtieth Of
November, the mortgage upon Penrhyd-
dyn should be foreclosed and to insure
there being no delay or uncertainty, she
willed ten thousand pounds to her cousin
Wylie--a man with no more mercy than
bailiff-which was to be paid out of
that money, or out of the proceeds Of the
sale of the estate. If she had had her
will, Penrhyddyn would have been sold
up years ago. But, fortunately, Sir
Launce had got Tom, before his marriage,
to sign bond that he should not be trou-
bled for the principal until the end of
twenty years; which time is up in No
vember. She always had an awful spite
against your father, and that bond made
a good many words between her and
Tom"
"a spite against my father!" cried Ar
thur. For what reason?"
well, certainly did once hear some
cock-and-bull story. But | heard so many
of them from her that they all got mixed
up together in my head. 60, il / was to
pretend to tell you, it might be another
story altogether. But it doesn't much
matter, depend ont, for Madame Grier-
sons hates, like herself, had no reason
in 'em. Well, as was telling you, while
| was weighing over in my mind the ques-
ton of Constance's marriage, suddenly
thought to myself, there's Sir Launce
Penrhyddyn, he's got son and If | could
arrange a match there, | should get rid
Of both my difficulties at the same time,
and turn the tables nicely upon Madame
Grierson's revenge, by making her own
tyrannical will the means of defeating 1t.
l arranged that Constance and you should
be introduced to each other at this ball,
for I'm a great believer in first impress
sions, and girls always make the most
of themselves and look their best at such
times. But you should have seen the rage
that Mr.. Wylie fell into when he heard
what I'd done. | don't know what he
didn't threaten but as far as the girls
concerned he's no power But"
He stopped suddenly, nudged his COM
panion, and pointed to the open window
which led into the refreshment room

ing. he used to frequent the crumbling
State capitol after his regular daily
stunt was over, hoping to get an occa-
sional job of typewriting for some one
of the newspaper correspondents. One
day in 1890, directly after Roosevelt's
Inauguration as Governor, when such
work seemed uncommonly scarce, the
Governor himself stepped out Of the
little private office into the "big room" )"
where Is received everybody, politi-
clans and ordinary worms OF the dust,
impartlally, and asked that good
stenographer and typewriter be sent in.
"You 20 in, Loeb" some one said.
Loeb "went in" and made pothooks to
the tune of Roosevelt's dictation for an
hour or two. Some time later he de
lvered the typewriter copy. 1t must
have been up to the Roosevelt stand
ard, for, next day, when the Governor
repeated his request for stenographer
he said, "Send in the man l had yes
terday he's all right"
From that day on the young court

made him his private secretary. Later

And so it was agreed between them /;
and the volunteer ball at Keldon, by Mr..
Griersons desire, was to be the scene of
the first meeting between Arthur and Con-
stance.
With a sad, sinking heart the young
man left his fathers presence, and repair
ed to his own chambers. The story of
struggles and disappointments had pro-
duced profound impression upon him
an impression rendered deeper by the
dark sense of fatalism that to him was
apparent through all. "Our race is
doomed !" he murmured to himself.

The volunteer ball at Keldon was a
great event. 1t was crowded with the
elite Of the neighborhood, as the local
newspaper afterwards informed the world
playing at officers being then the favor
ite amusement of the idle young gentle
men of the county.
1t was in anything rather than an ex-
hilarated mood that Arthur, accompanied
by his servant, arrived early in the even
ing at Keldon. He at once proceeded to
the principal hotel, dined, dressed, and
then departed in cab for the Town
Hall.

ADVERTISING | CITY.

Advertisement ia as necessary 10 the growth of cities as 1t is to the growth Of business of any kind. If city possesses any advantages that might induce people to come and live or do busineess there, these ad- Vantages ought to be made known. and progressive towns are diligent and persevering in this direction. Nashville, Tenn, has awakened to a recognition of this necessity. and has determined to appropriate five thousand dollars 8 month for twelve months to advertising Of different kinds. Noting this de- parture, the Birmingham Ledger observes:
 The best advertising that city gets is the advertising it's papers give it. Nashville has good papers and they have kept t alive. Old Nashville has allowed Birninghar and Atlanta to grow up and pass her. She Is solid and substantial. but Birmingham gets three new people to Nashville,s one. Atlann does the same It is ID to Nash vile to get move on.
 This resolve to push her for tunes is an indication that Nash vile sees what Memphis and even Chattanooea is doing. So Nashville is going to tell the world why it Is q good place 10 do business. Nash vile is a good place 10 live is good place to do business. Her greatest trouble is that she has been too quiet about f. while cities were growing ID all around her. She win eet now blood now. ''
 The abova suggestion has q local application Pine BleF has aerar had adequate advertfsfne. the citv and county have never spent moneE enough In this direction our ad- vantages and attractions ara 4erH imperfectlv known abroad. as is evidenced hT the expressions If 0ao- ple who come here for the ae5t time and who always 1aava en- thpsiastie for Pine Biaf II Is truo thaf eur citg has developed durfng tbe last few 5sars bat f6fs has Heea most by local capital ae4 as 2 natural consequence Of t6eat prosperity IL has not bean ta con sequence u2 any pahlfe enterprise- but in spite of l. Moreover. mHst ha admitted taat the city has not developed in a aegree commsa= aurate with its opportunities. re- sources and advantages What we need Is foreign capital. addifior> factories and manufactories, im- proved truck farms and more pom nlation and these we can have by q progressive advertising campaign and cooperation on The part Of all our citizens
 The local newspapers have al- ways done their best in this behalf; they have neglected no opportunity to advertise the city's attractions of every kind social. commercial and industrial, and they have one and all done this work cheerfully gra- tuitouslv and abundantly. But the newspapers cannot do # all. especi- ally alone and unaided. Last year this office issned an Illustrated Industrial Souvenir. which was elaborate and expensive and would be a credit to any city, but the en- terprise did not meet with the suc- cess it deserved. Notwithstsasnd- ing, however, the newspapers of the city are constantly advertising it's advantages. but more than this is needed if Pine Bluff is to realize It's best opportunities for growth and development.
