Ralph Interrupted her with laugh.
"Oh. well, Miss Lenox, it counts for

But you will have a chance to form

Indeed" The blue eyes of Miss
Lenox opened wide with surprise.
And when will your paragon appear
at the manor?"
Very soon; In fact, l expect him

Although she had told her cousin
his warning was unnecessary, lie
nore's curiosity was strong to see his
peerless friend. Visitors at the
manor house were very few and she
looked forward to the arrival of their
guest as an event in the monotonous
round of her life. Ralph had 50 eX-
patiated upon his friends personal
appearance that, If she found not a
god surely her disappointment would
be Woeful.
Seated upon ledge or rock which
had been torn from the mountain
side above her In some great, cataclys-
mic upheavel of the past ages. she
held novel listlessly and marveled
if, seeing him in all his peerless
glory, she should succumb to his
charms-what then? She laughed.
Such an idea was absurd.
Hearing a step behind her, she
sprang up in alarm.

SO this was peerless Pierre! He
had magnificent form, a clear, sweet
voice and as he raised his cap, a
mass OF yellow curls were visible; but
his face. although regular in form,
with large. fine eyes, IA sensitive nose,
and refined mouth, his right cheek
was disfigured by u terrible scar,
Miss Lenox caught these little details
of his appearance In the brief mo

she answered, pointing In It's direc.

Thank you; you are very kind, So
this is Miss Lenox? Many time

cousin" He stopped, picked up the
novel which she had dropped in her
alarm, and handed 1t to her with a
pretty gesture. In fact, ! think all of
Ralph's college friends were more or
less acquainted with Miss Lenox."
From this point The conversation
lapsed into VARIOUS subjects. Lcnore.
becoming deeply interested in their
talk, found themselves approaching the
manor house all too soon. Ralph saw
them coming and fastened down the
walk to meet them. At the first
glimpse OF his friend, Pierre Merrivale
became strangely silent and a panied
expression settled about his brows.
Why, old fellow. this Is quite a sur.
prise" said Ralph as he drew near
and caught his friends hand, then,
looking into his face, he started and
sharp cry OF astonishment escaped

Mr. Merrivale turned his head away
sadly and his friend recollected him
self.
I Forgive me, forgive me, old chap;
but you know you"
Yes, | know. Ralph. | have not
always been this way, but" with a
sigh, "misfortunes come to us ALL"
1t was in this manner that Pierre
Merrivale came to visit them. He
was bright in conversation and agree
able in manner, but was neither gay
nor careless. If handsome looks i'm
pei men to become coXcombs and
Lotharios, Lenore thought it very
easy to understand how peerless
Pierre had fallen from foppery. That
dreadful scar would impress upon him
with terrible power the fact that he
was made of common clay with
other men. AS she came to converse
with him more and more and to know
him better, she was perfectly ready
to believe that Pierre had never set
himself above common men because
Of his peerless person. And as their
companionship heightened with the
long summer months, her pity grew
into an attachment which she could
hardly persuade herself to believe. In
truth her heart, which she had steeled
to resist the charms of the perfect
Pierre, had surrendered first to pity
and then to love at the sight of that
noble, but disfigured face.
More than once Pierre was at the
point of telling how madly he loved
her, but in trice he thought of the
scar that distigured his face. What
woman could love man with that
hideous mark? No, he would not tell
her She should never know that his
heart had been wheedled away by a
miserable feeling of pity.

DAY AND NIGHT LILIES.
Continued from page ID

OOuJlIluCu llOIlI PdSN 14./
The blue and white day lilies, or
preferably Plantain lilies, are better
known than most of the Hemerocallis
or yellow day lilies, mentioned last
week. They are included in the genus
Funkia, and are natives of Japan.
There are six or more species and a
few garden varieties, but no inten-
tional hybrids appear to be known.
They have thick, broad, plantain-like
leaves, very different from the grassy
foliage of Hemerocalis, and tall
racemes of white, blue and purple
flowers that open in the day and close
at night. The best-known kind, COM
mon in dooryards throughout the
long settled parts of the country is
probably the Orange-scented plantain
lily, Funkia subcordata. 1t forms a
handsome, symmetrical clump Of
foliage 18 to 20 inches high, with
many racemes of large, sweet-scented,
waxy, white flowers in midsummer.
1t is a stately plant, hardy and long
lived, making fine specimens for grow
ing along walks, drives and in angles
of buildings. F. ovata also forms
handsome foliage clump The leaves
are large and we'll formed, disposed
with much symmetry and of pleas
ing, gl1terlng green color. The
blooms are numerous, deep blue in
color and carried on rather tall stems.
1t is very common in cultivation, and
is highly regarded. F. Siebo1diana
and F. Fortunei are very much alike.
Both are fine plants, of vigorous
growth, and have pale lilac or blush
flowers, that in F. Siebo1diana do not
rise much above the foliage, which
has sllvery tinge. Fortunei is much
more commonly crown by nursery
men, and is often catalogued under
the name of Sieboldiana F. lancifolia
is a narrow-leaved species of con-
siderable merit, with lilac flowers
The type is seldom seen except in
botanic gardens, but pretty dwarf
foliage is sold under the name of F
undulata picta, and occasionally a
white-margined form of F. ovata is
offered under the trade designation
of Thomas Hogg A much larger and
later-blooming variety of the latter
species, with white-marked foliage, is
announced as a fine novelty and
named Robusta elegans variegata.
The Funkias were formerly included d
in the genus Hemerocallis, but are
quite distinct botanically as we'll as
horticulturany, though both genera
are included in the great family OF
Liliaceae. 1t is we'll to keep the dis
tinction in mind, when speaking OF
Day lilies, that the yellow ones all
have narrow, grassy foliage and be-
long to the genus Hemerocallis, while
the white and blue ones have broader
plaintain-shaped leaves and are known
as Funkias.

MACON DIRECTED TO BUY
CHURCH PROPERTY IN HAVANA
TO BE ACQUIRED.
Option Obtained on the Real Estate
for Much Less Than Has Been
Offered for It.

In accordance with directions from Presi-
! dent Roosevelt Secretary Taft yesterday
| instructed Gov. Magoon to purchase all the
church property in Cuba in the diocese Of
Havana, according to the original recon-
mendations. AS to the church property In
| the diocese Of Santiago. for which an option
contemplated the payment of about $500 900,
the Secretary says he has not been able
thus far to secure information as to its
value He is not In a position, therefore
he says. to recommend that the option be
exercised. The Secretary says that the
property Is not Of such q character that
the yielding possession OF 1t to the church
will cause any great public Inconvenience.
The stipulated value Of the property in
Havana Is 81 .499.550 Under the terms Of
the contract entered into between the mill
tary government and the church authori-
ties the United States was given the op-
ton to buy this property at that price less
% per cent Of the rent paid to June /. 1907.
which, being $1O,90, leaves a balance Of
81. S8S. 646. which 1t is proposed to pay.
A Higher Offer.
Before acting Secretary Taft submitted a
long memorandum to President Roosevelt
which gave in detail the history OF the en-
tire matter In this the Secretary speaks OF
an offer OF Sir William Redding to pur-
chase the property IN f1dSana diocese
a: the full price Of 81. 400 $50. and says Gov.
Magoon cabled him that he had good reason
to believe the offer was made in the inter-
ests not only Of fruit company. but also
in the interest OF line Of steamships.
This amount is over $4,000 more than the
government will have to pay.
The Secretary says it is true that the
great bone of contention Is whether the
custom-house property, whose great value
Is its proximity to the wharf, Is worth
81 $50 900 alone; but when II Is considered
from the standpoint Of a government that
must have the property and which IL 1t
does not get 1t by contract must obtain 1t
by appropriation there is not the slightest
doubt in his mind of the wisdom of exer-
cising the option to purchase 1t.
Another Proposition.
The proposition to continue the leasehold
ARRANGEMENT. in order that the republic.
when restored to control, may determine
for itself whether this option shall be ex
ercised, Is not tenable. for the reason that
the church authorities. with an offer for
purchase in their hands a. a greater price |
than which this government will have to |
nav. declare that they will close at once |
with that offer should the United States |
allow the option to lapse. There are but
two dioceses in Cuba-that of Havana and
that of Santiago.
