words Of well-wishers like one in a dream.
She remembered being changed into q 60
ing-away frock-the curious street crowd
gathering around her as she left the re-
ception at the Park Lane house. Then
as she entered the brougham she was con-
scious Of Henrys face drawn close to hers,
and the old frightened instincts that her
father only a week ago had soothed and
quelled again took possession of her. A
great wall of fear closed in about her.
At last the carriage reached the station.
Diana leaned back in their compartment
in the train northbound for Scotland. The
hustle Of the outgoing crowds was holding
Henrys attention as she glanced over the
afternoon paper, which gave a prominent
position to the brilliant wedding that had
taken place at St. Georges only few
hours ago.
Suddenly she espied a name that made
her heart leap. brief paragraph told of
the reward to be conferred on Capt. James
Wynnegate, but longer account followed
giving details of his gallant work in the
northwestern hills.
great longing to see the friend Of her
childhood came over her. She was ashamed
that she had forgotten him so long.
Henry entered the compartment, the
guard closed the door, and ..e train start
ed on its journey. Her husband spoke to
her and she answered him in an absent
manner. The sudden remembrance of her
old playmate grew vividly and seemed to
blot out all else. as, following on her self
reproach for forgetting him, came the
Thought. growing more poignant: did
Jim remember her?'

toreador when the mad Don Jose's dagger
drew the purple stain on the gold-embroid-
cred gown. Over the house q spellbound
silence reigned. AS from an animal wound
ed to death, low sounds Of agonized pain
came from the great actress-she forgot
to sing, and the house forgot that she was
singer in an opera comique. For the
moment 1t faced the realistic truth of
grim tragedy.
Excited and intoxicated by the sensuous
music, Diana was hardly conscious that the
opera was over. She was like q child with
the world for a great, colored BACON. AS
she came down the winding staircase she
was almost happy, and turned to smile at
Henry, who was by her side. As she did
so she saw him frown. They reached the
foot of the staircase, and found their way
half-barred by dark, foreign-looking
woman robed in a spun-gold gown. Diana
noticed the insolent, amused expression on
her handsome face, but at that moment
her attention was diverted by some one
who spoke to her, and she only vaguely
noticed Henry's constrained bow, and the
sudden brutal flames in his eyes,
Only later, as she sleepily looked over
at the park in the dim light. did she remem-
Der that the woman in cloth of gold at
the bottom of the staircase was strangely
like the vivid, foreign-looking woman who
had flashed past her in the park as the
storm broke.
The wedding took place at St. Georges,
Hanover square. 1t was the first brilliant
wedding of the season and royalty honored
1t. not by sending a deputy, but its per-
sonal presence. Diana passed through the
gay pageant and heard the conventional

the weight Of the fowl above brought the
end of the limb within reach, when he care

IN THE BLUE RIDGE, July, 1907.
- WING to the unusual weather
which prevailed during the past
spring crops are backward in
these parts at this writing.
Corn Is remarkably diff1dent and
garden truck on the whole reluctant Cab
bages show decided tendency to lie abed,
and the timorous pea is loath to pod. The
valiant onion, however, that Samson Of
the garden, stands forth In strong contrast,
and with silvery lances flashing in the sun
sends forth his odoriferous challenge to the
world. The extremely moist weather has
also been disastrous to the chicken crop.
and in consequence the edible hen is con-
spicuously not here to a greater extent than
usual. AS the pale young man who oc-
cupies the gable boudoir said not later
than this morning at breakfast. She has
gone hence" The place Of honor which
she was wont to grace at either end of the
table is usurped by the juicy but plebeian
ham and the sinewy steak Of the itinerant
butcher. Although the hen has never
achieved eminence as a songster, we miss
the music of her contented cluck as she
grub-stakes her young. But, oh! how
much more do we feel the lack of her pres
ence in a deceased state. properly sepa-
rated into drumstick, upper Joint and wing,
to say nothing of breast and steaming glib
lets, the whole smothered in brown and
unctuous gravy. 1 doubt If there is
person within the sound of my pencil as 1

ton, (Which will you have, light or dark?'
would not exclaim rapturously, Anything,
lust so it's chicken!" The few fowls that
find their way to the tables hereabouts are
mostly imported from the city.
The thrifty ones are also complaining
of the summer boarder CROP the pickings
from which promise to fall considerably
below the average yield. On the other
hand, vegetation of no direct economic
value was never more luxuriant. The wild
carrot and the ragweed flourish exceed
ingly, and in the cool shadows Of the wood
the poison ivy moveth itself Alright and lieth
in wait to sting the unsuspecting paleface
who knoweth not the difference between 1t
and the harmless Virginia creeper.

A MINIATURE FLOOD.
The Rise in Salt River Was Smaller
Than Antici pated.

The expected rise in Salt River at
this point did not come up to the anti
Cipations of many. 1t probably did
not raise more than a foot at any
time. and that was during the night Of
Thursday, when the gauge on the NJ. &
p. bridge pier showed that point a
little above three feet had been reach
ed. Before morning the water fell
somewhat, and fording was accom-
plished yesterday without danger.
There has been little shifting of sand
ar the river, however, due to the small
additional amount of water that did
come down and the north side of the
crossing is a little quick" 1t will
probably be sound though in a day or
two. as soon as there has been some
travel over IL
The reason THAI there was such a
small rise here Is accounted for by the
fact that all the south side canals were
prepared to handle a full head. The
Tempe canal and its branches were
bank full all day yesterday and the
farmers were using the water to good
advantage.
With no rain for twenty-four hours,
things are beginning to dry up little
here. The roads are in fairly good
shape and the hauling of grain has
been resumed. If there is no more
rain between now and the first of the
week, normal conditions will again be
about restored, though there was suf-
ficient rain TO do a lot of damage to
a great deal of hay and grain. Canta-
loupe picking in this district was re-
sumed with some activity in a few
patches yesterday and more will take
up the work again today. About the
only melons injured were the nearly
ripe ones. the later crop being but lit
tie damaged II is claimed by some,
that benefit instead of injury has been
accomplished by the rain in those
patches affected by aphis, and that

BOUGHT A HOME.
The n. 3. Eaton Place Sold to John
Chilson of Payson.

A real estate deal was made here
yesterday between John Chilson of
Payson and II. b. Eaton. whereby the
former acquired title To the latter
home on the Creamery road. The place
is better known as the Bolton home;
il consists of twelve and a half acres.
and the reported consideration in the
sale was $4,000. This makes evident
the fact that Tempe real estate has a
high market value. Mr.. Chilson has a
large family of children and his aim
in buying a place near Tempe is to
give them better educational advan-
tages. For this reason he took a place
near town. He will take possession
between now and the first of Septem-
Der, and il is understood that Mr..
Eaton and family will move to Cali
fornia in the near future.

purchase of one. 1t cost her SOC for

A Mexican was arrested last even
ing charged with maliciously destroy
ing the property of a compatriot. II
seems that one Mexican loaned anoth-
er coat during the rain. The Dor
rover left the coat in the grain ware
house The third Mexican saw the
coat and recognized il as belonging to
an enemy. He threw the inOffensive
article in the mud. tramped upon it
and then tore it until it was useless
for further service. The owner Of the
coat swore out the warrant for the ar
rest of the offender. The trial comes
up this morning.
