Rfl *"v Heir ondetl Itn come to the recular orcaoization I vou know that it is mostly among the toned, or travels too fast or too slow, THE HOUSE By Sir D'Artagan Isstens, Cadet of a Order of Wa'ssmark and On? Court of Charles MADE INTO A ROMANCE I Copyright, 1899, by American Press Asso CHA.FT.fciK ill. THE ROBBER CAPTAIN'S DAUGHTER. In a few days things had taken on very much their old faces. Five prisoners, being robbers and murderers, were bung, bat oat of sight of the boase. My prisoner, whom we called "the captain," was kept for ransom. So I told the men, bat I doa-bt if I woald have let him hang under any circumstances, for he fascinnted me strangely. He was prisoned in my chamber and fed from oar own table. We took him all manner of books, which he read with pleasure. Harry, who was a wcnderfnl scholar, far beyond anything I conld hope for. used to argue with him over Homer and Caesar, and sometimes they wrote songs together. Then they would have me in to hear the songs, which, I must say, were very learned and not a little uncommon. The crops were put in and life went on in the cottages and fields, as well as in the house, very much as it bad before the great robber raid. One morning I was seated on a stone horvh Half wav dnwn the avenue of beeches, dreaming of things which the captain's songs bad started in my brain, when on raising my bead I saw a lass tripping toward me np the road. She was robed in all manner of fine silks, like my mother on occasions, and had white gloves on her whiter arms Merry golden curls fell down from under the great feathered hat. "By the long sword, here comes that court lady after Harry," I muttered to myself, and straightway rose and bowed, hand on heart in the latest mode. She answered with a fine courtesy. "Are you the lord cadet of Isstens. sir?" she asked, gazing sweetly. I could eee now that her face was wan and her eyes red from weeping. "I am the cadet of the house, madame, but without a title. Perhaps it is my brother, the viscount, you would see?" I bowed low after each word. "Nay, sir, it is the brave cadet. I bear he captured my father with his single sword, and took him into the house kindly, as became a gentleman," she said very softly, looking at me with wonderful eyes all the while. "What!" I cried. "Are you the robber captain's daughter, madame?" And I fell to staring at her like a great frog. She flushed haughtily at that. "I am Captain Castletree's daughter ?yes. Does it offend your ears, my lord ?" I was confused woefully. "Do you want to take him away, madame? He is very quiet and is helping my brother write verses." I gasped. The lady laughed merrily at my speech and face. "I would like to have him, Sir Cadet, but I do not want to spoil your broth er's rnymes." I recovered from my confusion. "Let us talk it over. You know be is a prisoner of war." I said, bowing , She answered with a fine courtesy. her to the seat. I thought to impress her with the greatness of the favor she asked, so continued. "The four other captives were hung." She flashed her eyes at me. "Becauee they were common scum," she cried, "do yon think they had no souls?" "I don't think they had. madame, for they were the foulest rogues and murderers under heaven. The captain is a man of breeding and may not be a rascal, after all. At any rate I have kept him safe, and we are fond of him now." Her eyes filled with tears. "Oh, forgive me 1" she cried. "I have einned in speaking so to yon. May God bless yon for your sparing hand." The tears sprang to my own eyes at the words of her forgiveness. "It was very little to do. It was a pleasure," I stammered. Then, "May I take you to your father. Mistress Castletree?" She accepted my proffered hand, and together we went up the avenue and through the great gate of the house of Isstens. CHAPTER IV. "DO YOU LOVE HER, VISCOUNT?" Can you imagine the stir all through the bouse when I ushered in the captain's daughter, splendid in her silks OF ISSTENS.

Out came my mother and swept the door with a grand courtesy. Mistress Lyons cried, "Bless her dear English facet" and kissed her. Ah, thought I. Castletree is an English name, is it, and I gracefully presented Harry, who could not have come faster to meet the court lady whose hand he bad kissed. I ran and released my prisoner, who came down and received that little form?silks and curls, great hat and all ?into his. arms with a cry of joy. He told her bow kind we bad all been to him?a foreign outlaw, a leader of robbers?and we blushed and wished we had been 20 times kinder. Then the maiden was taken off under my mother's wing, and we men held counsel in the little dining parlor. "I am clear of the robbers," said the big captain, "and I swear"?he did in English?"that I would plow like a peasant sooner than return to them." "You are a worthy gentleman, sir,' said the baron, "and bow you came to mix and fight with such dogs I cannot see." "That?my reason for it is a closed page of my life," answered the Englishman. "Enongb, my lord, that I was once happy in my own castle in Devon, with a sweet wife, honor and wealth, and now"? And he bnrst into tears. The sight of a strong man in the agony of weeping is ever a pain to me. When he recovered himself, my father offered him a position in the bonsebold, to make him and Mistress Caetletree of the family. My heart rose at that. The captain looked np prondly. "Can I earn our bread, my lord ? Is there work for me to do?" The baron, who was slightly the elder of the two, took bis band. "There is work, my friend, for a trne gentleman with a trne sword in the house of Isstens. Will you swear to be loyal to this family nntil this family or some member of it is disloyal to you ?" "I swear it on my honor," said the captaiD. I slipped out and getting his surrendered sword from my room returned and placed it in his bands. "Not this 6word," he said. "I will purchase a new one from the house of Isstens." And he broke the lithe blade across his knee and banded me back the two pieces. "It was not the sword I used in the service of my old king. Neither will I use it in the service of my new lord, the Baron Isstens." he said, smiling sadly. And thus the bouse of Isstens was increased, and life seemed to be mer rier and more worth the trouble inside the gray old walls. The captain knew n great deal about fanning and even more about weapons and the drilling of men. Soon all the people on the estate, including old Red Harding, looked up to him with love and respect, and some of them whispered that he had been a prince in his own country. Blithely, like red petals blowing from a bush, went the days through May and June. The brigands lay cloee in their mountain fastnesses, evidently crushed by our brave defense, the slaughter at the gates and the hanging of the captives. The peasants returned to their work, the foresters and keepers to the woods, the plowmen and sowers to the fields, and the young grain was green over the uplands. Captain Castletree was everywhere. For three days be tramped about in the forests with a squad of axmen marking the lumber to be cut for building and where the underbrush wus to be cleared out for firewood. I wondered if he ever though^ of the Iestens fagot he had tried so heartily to use over my head. There was a second ditch to be run through the swamp, and the captain marked the best course for it, and even helped at the blasting out of rocks with his own hands. And yet a finer and prouder gentleman could not be found in Wassmark, where it is said the nobility cannot bend to pick up their gloves should they happen to fall. It did net take me many weeks to discover that I was deeply in love with Mistress Castletree. Her other name was Marion, which both Harry and I thought very pretty. My brother made verses about it and read them to us on the south terrace. Sometimes my heart ached that I, too, could not write dancing rhymes to bring smiles to her lipa I looked at Harry through a green light and said all manner of unpleasant things to him, and for answer he would only eye me and smile. One day I caught him by the shoulder?we were alone?and cried, "Do you love her, viscount?" At first 1 thought he was about to say "No!" but his face changed and UD CI <CU *. IV| Mvt '-?J And what if I do?" "Yes. poor cadet." I hissed. "Ob, but the cadet has a sword, and by all the devils it is not an easy one to get beyond 1" With horror at my words I turned away. Quick as a flash be was at my shoulder. "Don't worry, old fire eater," he said, laughing; "there is someone in Blatenbnrg.^you know. " And then he broke off and began to sing. I rushed after him and craved pardon humbly for mv hasty words. We went out to gether and fonnd Marion on the aonth terrace looking ont across the valley with dreamful eyes. Harry had a slip of paper in his haDd. "Listen to Dart's first poem," he said, the while X, stared at him speechless. He read. "Sweet of the golden hair. Here to your feet I bring Sword and heart and hand, Truer than heart of king. "Know that the sword is leal E'en till this life Is doneKnow that my heart Is thine. Sweetest Maid Marlon." Here the viscount turned and fled, leaving me gazing at Mistress Castletree and she at the sky. Her face was crimson, and I think mine was too. "By all the little blue dev"? I remembered myself and fled away also. TO BE CONTINUED. Pisfcllautous grading. WAIFS FROM WARREN. Farmers Are Hustling?Planting More Sor ghura Than Usual?Condition of Small Grain?Ditches Where They Used to Be Considered Impracticable?Corn Going the Wrong Way?Quarterly Conference at Antloch. Correspondence of the Torkville Enquirer. Warren, April 16.-Since the weather cleared up, the farmers have, to use a common expression, been hustling. Mo9t of the land has been made ready for planting. Some corn and a little cotton has already been planted ; but if the weather is favorable this week, a considerable part of both crops will be planted. i More cane, or sorghum, has been and will be planted this spring for feeding purposes than there ever has been in this section. A great many are planting to make molasses also. i Gardens and truck patches will be somewhat late this spring. Vegetation ! generally, is quite backward. Only a i few of the earliest trees and shrubs j have shown their colors yet. The fruit crop in this section was 1 not seriously damaged by the recent i frosts. Small grain looks somewhat prom- i ising, but hardly as much so as was | expected under the favorable weather siuce the hard freezes. ! Some years back, before this blackjack section was cleared out and culti- j vated to much extent, most of the people thought the land was so flat that it could not be drained by ditches; i but it is not only drained well by ditches ; but terroces are taking the place of ditches in some places, and are found to be a great saving to the land. Up to last year it was common to i see wagons loaded with corn on their < way to market?most of which was sold for 40, 45 and 50 cents. Now, the j wagons are coming the other way, i ' - '?' ? ' I- --- m.U'rtk /?/\r>to f?>Am loaned wuu cum?wmuu wow mu 60 to 80 cents per bushel. We truly hope to see a good grain crop made this year. The second quarterly conference of North Rock Hill ciicuit was held at Antioch, last Saturday after services, i conducted by Rev. Dr. Bays. The business of tbe conference was light, i Mr. W. B. Sealy was recommended to i the district conference for license to i preach. No delegates were elected to 1 the district conference, as we will have another meeting before the conference < meets. The conference agreed to pay 1 their part of an indebtedness on the district parsonage. Tbe financial report of the conference was very good, i s. K. J. JONES TALKS OF DEWEY. Democratic Chairman Is Certain of the Nomination of Bryan. In au interview given out in Wash- 1 ingtou last Tuesday, Senator Jones, 1 chairman of the Democratic national i committee, said be had no idea what Admiral Dewey's intentions were or what line of action he will pursue to 1 obtain a presidential nomination. So 1 far as the national committee as a I body is concerned, no letter or commu- 1 nication has been addressed to the 1 admiral on the subject of his candidacy. Speaking for himself, Senator Jones said he had not written to the admiral inquiring whether he would enter the Kansas City convention, but adds : "It is quite probable, however, that others are more curious. "It is quite possible," he continued, s "that Admiral Dewey may be suggested in connection with the vice presi- i dency ; but I have not the slightest i (idea that he will be proposed for the presidential candidate, runuc sentiment has already decreed that Mr. : Bryan shall be the nominee of the I regular Democratic party, and iu my i judgment the men who will represent : the Democratic party at Kansas City ] will carry out the will of the Demo- 1 cratic masses and name Mr. Bryan. i "So far as Admiral Dewey is con- < cerned, I have no means of knowing whether he proposes, as a Democrat, | and abide the consequences, or whether be and his friends propose to hold an independent convention the same as the Palmer ticket four years ago." The senator adds that it was not usual for a candidate to announce that he proposes to be a candidate of any particular party, and dictate a policy which is supposed to be antagonistic to all the nrinciDles of the Dartv from which he seeks support. "If," said Senator Jones, "Admiral Dewey declares himself to be a candidate he will receive a cordial welcome into the fold, for the American people are proud of him for his gallant and meritorious service in their behalf. There are other good Democrats who rendered valuable services to their country in the Spanish war, and the admiral will not be looely in the Democratic ranks. He will probably receive such consideration as he deserves; but he will have to abide by the result of the convention, whatever it may be." REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY. Important Recommendation With Regard to Couuty Home. Following is the report of the grand jury submitted before the discbarge of that body last Wednesday morning: To the Honorable James Aldrich, Presiding Judge: We, the grand jury of York county, beg leave to submit this, our final presentment: 1st. The grand jury have passed upon all bills of indictment handed to us by the solicitor, and returned the same to court with our findings thereon. 2nd. Committees of the grand jury, during the present term of court, have visited the county jail and county poor house, and submitted the following reports, to-wit: We found the jail in good condition and well kept; prisoners securely kept and well cared for, and everything in satisfactory condition. At the poor house we found 29 inmates?15 white, 14 colored?and several cared for outside. We found premises clean and in as good condition as could be expected. Inmates all. seem to be satisfied and well cared for. There are three sick and one insane. We find one new house with two rooms about completed. Also new room to main dwelling completed. We find that no steps have been taken toward erecting hospital for the sick, recommended by former grand jury. The home is very poorly sup plied with milk. There have been 17* bushels wheat and 10* bushels oats sown on farm. We respectfully recommend that sufficient milk cows be kept at the farm to supply the inmates with milk. Also that there be more small grain 30wn in the future. 3rd. It is the judgment of this grand jury that a system of more advanced farming on the poor house lauds than has ever obtained before, should be inaugurated, with a view to making that farm entirely self-sustaining. By adopting new methods which have been successfully tried in other places, we believe that the present number of paupers can be amply supported and supplied with greater comforts by so doing. We submit that it would be better to devote the attention of the authorities to making provisions in abundance and supplies for man and beast, rather than make cotton with hired labor. 4th. The county commissioners have presented to us their annual report for 1899 properly made out in detail, which received our attention. The recommendations made by the supervisor of the county in regard to railroad crossings are approved, and we recommend that proper legal steps be taken to enforce compliance with the law. 5th. We recommend that the neces -L?:fti? errand inrv sury LUUH3 Ilil ocuuug be placed in grand jury room. Also a few large spittoons. 6th. We present to your honorable court, A. G. Grant, alias Jim Grant, living 9 miles north of Yorkville on the King's Mountain road, for living in adultery with Liz Hodge and Venil Rector, and keeping a disorderly house, which is considered in that neighborhood as a nuisance, and so charged and established by credible witnesses, of which the following are the most important, viz: R. S. Adams, Marcus, Marcus Whitener aud W. C. Faris. 7th. We take pleasure in returning thanks to your honor, the circuit solicitor and other officers of the court, for courtesies aud considerations extended to us. All of which is respectfully submitted.

Rockwell Clancey, a missionary to Allahabad, India, now on a visit to his brother in Medford, Mass., tells the following distressing story of things he has witnessed in India : "The condition of the famine-stricken India today is something perfectly awful to contemplate. I cannot tell any thing about the nuraner wuu are uyiug ; but when I left Bombay, last February, there were some 60,000,000 people suffering from famine, aud over 30,000,000 were in dire distress, and of these but 5,000,000 were receiving government aid. "It is not the cities but the country places which are stricken, and when agricultural classes and that 80 per < cent, of the population of India is made i up of tillers of the soil, you may be < able to grasp in some slight manner 1 the extent of the suffering at the pres- i eut time. < "When the famine set in the people ] began to sell everything they had that they might get a little grain for food. I They took the doors from their bouses t and sold them ; sold their furniture < and farming utensils, and then, when I th * had no longer anything to sell, tuey sold their children. The boys i don't sell well, and the traffic is largely j ~:-lo , IU giuo. . "I saw girls in one town just before < I came away, beiDg sold for 30 cents apiece. They were bought up by Mohammedans; but they won't buy the boys, so, when the parents can no j longer support their children they abandon them, and henceforth they must get on as best they can. These ' cast-offs congregate about the doors of ] the grain merchant shops, and the j only way the proprietors can get rid of ' them is to throw out handfuls of grain, 1 scattering it wide. The children pick { and pick all day, and at night perhaps, ] are rewarded by having collected a < single handful." i BLUE AND THE GRAY. < ? Proposed Ke-Unlon of Palmetto Sharp- ( shooters and Sixteenth Michigan. \ Greenville Mountaineer. ( The Louisville correspondent of the 1 News and Courier, in writing of matters pertaining to the reunion of the ? Confederate Veterans next month, t gives the following relative to a special 1 meeting between Federals and Con- ' federates: < "While the Confederate reunion < committees are arranging for the big 1 reunion of all Confederates who will < come to Louisville in May, various in- ? dividuals are arranging for special par- ' ties. Several blue and gray reunions t will be held, among which is one that 1 is of esnecial interest to South Caro- c lioians. It is the meeting of the Palmetto Sharpshooters and the Sixteenth ( Michigan. These two regiments fought > each other at Gaines's Mill, on June t 27, 1862. s "The following letter from Colonel James A. Hoyt, addressed to Major 1 Thomas D.

D. T., messenger boy v No. 1,534, James Francis Smith, with C a message of sympathy from the d schoolboys of Philadelphia to Oom ti Paul, at Pretoria, will cost nearly i' $1,500. S "The American District Telegraph 3 company receives 30 cenis an hour for 7 delivering messages," said Superintendent N. W. Rayues, yesterday. T "No. 1,534 went out at 9.30 o'clock last Monday morning. He went first J to Philadelphia, and sailed on the St. I< Louis Wednesday morning.

It is in round numbers 19,580 miles :o Pretoria and return by way of Soutbimpton, and besides Smith's board and extras, bis fare both ways will amount ;o $658. The total expenses of sending the xiessage to President Kruger, exclulive of the boy's meals, will therefore, imount to $1,478.80. His meals and ixtras will add largely to this amount.
