bravely enough and ending with a
qdavering whisper.
OF course there was no reply, and
we would have been frightened to
death II there had been, yet we felt
indignant at the stiffness, as well as at
the impenetrable darkness our eyes
could not pierce.
"Shall we go down." Her voice was
rather tremulous, and she looked re-
lieved when we shook our heads de-
cidedly.
IF we only had a dog" l hazarded,
1--WE could put 1t down ahead of us to
find out if any one was there: but
we haven't"
mo" agreed Elizabeth. thoughtful
ly; "but we have Mary Anne"
AS though in response to her name,
the outer kitchen door opened, and
Mary Anne herself, wet, draggled and
breathless, stood before US.
Her usually ruddy face was pale,
and her eyes rolled wildly as she
looked from one to the other, while
her shawl slipped unnoticed to the
floor, and we saw that her gown was
badly torn and her arm scratched and
bleeding.
You've been out?"
1t was Elizabeth who spoke, and her
voice brought Mary Anne's wandering
ey, to a focus and held it a moment.
yes, miss"
She picked up her shawl and folded
H. carefully smoothing the creases
with trembling hands.
Its a wild night, Miss Elizabeth"
she said, with shudder. "The storm
got into me blood, miss, and sleep /
couldn't fur thinking of them l knows
who are maybe out on the sea, so /
got me shawl and started fur me
brothers 'ouse to see If e 'ad got
'ome safe and sound; but i couldn't
git down the bluff, Miss Elise, the
wind being that vi'lent it clean druv
me back. And stumbled, Miss Gabri-
ellie, and 'urt meself aginst the side
of the 'ouse, miss, as you kin see fur
yerself. 'Ow, but it's a night! God
save them out on the wide water"
Mary Anne paused for breath and
looked curiously at us.
''But what are we all in the kitchen

fur r. she inquired in more natural
way. rs II afraid We are, too, and
COME out ere to look fur me to keep
ye comp'ny?"
We told her about our fright. and
she promptly treasured us. saying she
had locked everything securely early
in the evening. but would go down and
investigate.
"rll so with you and hold the light"
volunteered; but Mary Anne declined
my society more firmly than politely.
And what good would you be, Miss
Elise-jumpin at yer shadder and
drippin' candle grease over me clean
floor? No, thank We kindly, I'll go
alone; full well know there's nothin'
bigger than a rat down there"
II was very pleasant to hear her
moving about. and when she called up
to us with laugh that the hanging
shelf had fallen. coming down upon
the coal shovel and scuttle. we
laughed also, and felt a weight lifted
from our hearts.
Them ropes was rotten" announced
Mary Anne, laboriCusly ascending the
stairs, and it's mercy l didn't set
the cream there to raise as usual
which praise be given, didn't. Don't
you worry no more, but go to bed, and
III make some chocolate to warm you
like, for it's very comfortin' to the
inncrds on a night like this"
II was acceptable advice, and we
gladly followed II, but as we left the
kitchen ! CHANGED to glance back and
saw Mary Anne at the cellar door,
her head bent and her whole bearing
tense and alert-much the attitude of
a dog who waits an expected command
in its masters voice.
Yet when she appeared upstairs a
little later, carrying tray with three
cups of steaming chocolate, and filed
with motherly solicitude as to our COM
fort, she was merely a respectable,
middie-aged servant, whose opinions
one would receive with due respect.
She had rearranged her dress, and her
manner was quite natural and com.
posed as she drew aside the curtain
and looked into the night. with a com.
ment on its wildness.
We joined her at the window, and
as we stood looking out beam OF
light pierced the enveloping darkness.

to glance curiously at Mary Aanne.
She was leaning against the window

her face was livid and her breath came

exclaimed, reproachfully, and tho old

few more lively speeches she passed

solved itself into the question. Who
were the IL sons of Jacob? Even the
cleric with the reversed collar had

off the names without error, from
Reuben down to Benjamin.

honest and on top Of that he is fool.
There is no one thing worth as
much to any man as an established
reputation for honesty and integrity,
and no man can secure such reputa-
ton unless he is actually possessed of
the virtues mentioned.
In politics there are numerous ways
of buying votes, and that of paying
for votes with actual cash is by no
means the least familiar.
More often than otherwise, the cam
didate secures the support of a pros
pective voter by promising that in the
event of his election he will give to
the voter the private benefit of certain
privileges that are only to be secured
by betrayal of the trust to be reposed
in the prospective office holder.
Under circumstances like this, the
man who sells his vote and the man
WHO buys it occupy about the same
relation in crime as principal and ac-
cessory before and after the fact.
But nevertheless, vote buying and
vote selling is a common, very COM
mon. vice that has been grated on to
existing institutions.

ABUNDANCE OF CABBAGE.

Although there are no indications
that this part Of the country intends
to try to compete either with the low
country or the mountains in the mat
ter of producing cabbage for the mar
ket, conditions indicate that this sec
ton is not to be as good a customer
Of the other sections as heretofore.
There was more cabbage planted
throughout this immediate neighbor-
hood in the spring of last year than
ever before; but this last spring there
was five or six times as much as dur
ing the previous spring, and the re-
suits are everywhere apparent at this
writing.
Cabbage is to be seen in almost ev-
| cry town and country garden, and rid
| ing along the country roads one can
see patches and patches in the nearby
fields. The crop has been maturing
during the past three or four weeks
and large quantities have been sold
and offered for sale on the local mar
| ket.
TIE local market is well nigh glut-
ted. For a while grocers were willing
| To pay producers from Il to cents a
pound; but now they buy all they
want at from J a cent to a cent, and
there is very little demand even at
that figure But the raising Of cabbage
has not proved a failure by, any
means. The producers are able to
consume large quantities that they
would have been compelled to pay fol-
and in this way the crop is quite prof.
liable.
Two Yorkville dealers together sold
about 175,OOO cabbage plants last
spring and it is quite probable that
| the total sales from the town ran up
to 25O,OOO. In addition to the plants
handled in Yorkville, many were sold
| by other towns and from the country
stores throughout the county.
OF course, many cabbage will go TO
waste this year. Some people will put
them into kraut but others will make
no effort to save them and next year
will decline to plant again, because OF
their disappointment in being unable
to sell this year. That is the way such
matters usually go. If, however some
enterprising individual or individuals
would make Investigations as to possi-
BILE markets and. if practicable, buy up
the surplus cabbage crop and ship 1t,
the result would be Of very material
present and future benefit.
