A BIoodIess Battle.

The occasion was the regimental
ball. The band was there, and the
palms and the refreshment bsffet and
everything was lovely.
But in one corner, behind beau
tiful green rampant of palms, the
young lieutenant and the coloners
daughter we're trying to occupy the
same chair. and we're giving other evil
dence OF the fact that their hearts
had been pierced by some OF Cupid's
darts.
Suddenly an intruder appeared-a
fierce intruder in the uniformed per.
sonage of the young lady's father. In
stantly the chair was abandoned, and
the youthful swain stood at attention.
Sir" he said. in sharp, staccato
tones, II have the honor to report an
engagement, in which ] have been en-
tirely victorious. Now, sir, II mere
ly remains for you TO give your official
sanction to the terms of surrender"

order" said Mr.. Arnold Rayner; you
can attend to that?"
Rather" returned John Griggs,
with a smile. I've just the party in
view," and he smiled again. Every
thing will be done as you order, MIR.
Rayner. We're too glad to have a
good neighbor back with us again TO
neglect making the house just as
homelike as possible"
Thank you," bowed Mr.. Rayner, in
his grave, sedate way. II am glad
TO be back among friends. You think
you understand everything?"
PERFECTLY" assured Griggs. "The
house TO be cleaned up from ground
to attic, the things moved in when
they come, some energetic girl or
woman on hand to take charge Of the
children In case you send them on
ahead. Very good, sir. / will hire a
most trusty lieutenant to assist me
in carrying out all your orders to the
last detail. Good-day, sir, and well
come when you come back for good"
John Griggs stood looking specula-
lively after his acquaintance and cli-
ent, Mr.. Rayner. He had not seen
him for eight years, and he specu-
lated on the change in the brisk, am
bilious young man who had left the
village to marry a city girl, and con-
cerning whom he had heard little un-
till he appeared that day. 1t was to
announce that he had decided to set
tie down in Blairsville again. He had
taken a lease of a house for some
time vacant.

by rock phosphate, limestone, ETC.,
telling what the mission of each was.

crops and also in cultivating more
acreage. He was listened to with
marked attention and the hope was
expressed that he, would favor us
with many such visits, Regret was
expressed that the audience was not
