There was no uncertainty about his action as he put his arm around her waist and, drawing her to him, kissed her fervently?kissed her with that acquired ease, that sureness of touch, that lack of embarrassment, that comes from a perfect understanding. And she did not even blush. "Dearest," he said, "I have just been thinking that we have known each other a whole week." "It seems, oh, so much longer than that!" she replied.

"Yes; the next evening, with that sort of confidence that came to me I fyiow not why, I went further. I held your hand in mine, I drew closer, and then I suddenly left you, not daring to frighten you with the sudden inteslty of my love." "And then the next night?"

Since then I have loved you more and more until now I feel I must show you some real substantial token of my He drew from his pocket a small package. He handed It to her triumphantly. She opened it rapidly.' It was a diamond pin. There was a silence. Then she handed it back to him slowly, reluctantly. "What!" he cried. "Are you not going to accept it?" ( She shook her head. "I cannot," she replied. "Don't you know that it wouldn't be proper for me to accept anything more than flowers or candy from a man I have known only a week?"?Tom Mason in Brandur Magazine. The Doctor's Narrow Escape. "I have always insisted," she said after a long, sweet silence, "that I would never marry a doctor or a preacher." He turned pale and a look of despair crept into his eyes. "Arthur," she exclaimed, "what is the matter?" With a heaving sigh, he answered: "Can't I induce you to overcome your prejudice? Ah, tell me, tell me, that your decision against doctors and preachers is not irrevocable." Six weeks before she had written a message on an egg and sent it out into the world. The frail messenger had fallen into Arthur Higgleson's hands and there they were sitting on the baggage truck at the railway station, waiting for the hack, which they had missed, to return from town and convey them to the hotel, where they had planned to be married. She looked up into his eyes with a wild yearning and cried: "Are you a preacher?" "No," he groaned, "not that?not that." "un, ten me, ten me, sne wanea, "that you are not a doctor!" He hung: his head. There was a guilty look in his eyes and she knew that the worst had come. At last, pulling himself together with a mighty effort, he turned to her and said: "Yes, Emeline. You have guessed the truth. I am a doctor. But why should that matter? Why do you discriminate against preachers and doctors?" "Because they have to be among ^women so much," she sadly replied.' "I should want my husband all to myself." "Love," he cried, "then we may still be happy. I am a horse doctor,"? Chicago Record-Herald. Farming Told on Him.?It was not an American farmer of whom an English paper tells a story, although the incident might possibly be matched in this country. The agriculturist in question had been to a rent dinner to enjoy himself among men of his own walk in life, while his hard-working wife stayed at home and saw to it that the farm suffered no loss in his absence. "I'm aboot tired out," was the man's greeting upon his return. "Is t' cows in t' barn?" "Yes, long since," replied the spouse, barely stopping a moment from her duties to glance at him as she spoke.

Lantern, January 2: The engine, which was purchased some time ago, has arrived at the Sprlngstein mill, and is being put up. The railroad track is being removed. It ran through the dye room, but was left standing as it ran by the boiler room, thus enabling the train hands to deliver the engine near the place where it would" be set up. It is thought that work will begin in the mill by the middle of March Mr. William Bennett, an old Confederate soldier, has been spending a few days in the city. He was an inmate of the Soldiers' Home at Raleigh, but was expelled on account of misconduct. He came to this city and soon had Colonel Reed at his elbow. He told the colonel that he was in hard luck; that he and money had quit speaking, and appealed i for aid. The colonel was a wee bit suspicious and asked the man what regiment he had belonged to. Bennett said he was a member of the Twelfth regiment, Company D, N. C. troops. The colonel got down one of his old musty volumes and looked the man up. He found that Bennett had told the truth in every particular. Colonel Reed soon collected some money and yesterday Bennett went to Columbia where he has relatives....On the 22d of September, 1862, Abrahatn Lincoln signed the proclamation of emancipation.

Boyce, came up on the narrow gauge yesterday and went to Charlotte on the morning train To investigate charges preferred against Mr. Claudius Holland, recently appointed and confirmed as postmaster at Gastonia, Mr. C. E. Entaman, postofflce inspector, spent Wednesday in Dallas and Gastonia investigating the merits of the appointment. He had interviews with a large number of representative business men and patrons of the Gastonia office. He returned to Charlotte Wednesday night and<Svent to Washington yesterday to make his report on the case. Mr. Holland was appointed and confirmed before the holiday adjournment of the senate. Before his commission was made out however, letters from prominent Gastonia Republicans went to the president and the postmaster general making complaint tnat Mr. ?ionana did not live within the delivery of the office and preferring other charges of a more serious nature....The holidays brought the saddest of home-goings to Prof. J. S. Wray. Tuesday morning of this week at 10 o'clock his beloved sister Annie, who had lingered so long and patiently, and to whom he was so tenderly devoted, passed away from the scenes of earth. Tuesday night his grandfather, Mr. Alex Wray died? the two deaths occurlng the same day. Prof Wray is expected to return to Gastonia Saturday to resume his duties as superintendent of the city schools. The great grief that has come to him will cause sorrow among his friends here, who hold him in highest esteem and sympathize with him deeply About sunset yesterday little Charlie, 12-year-old son of Mr. Blake Boyd was thrown headlong from his delivery tvagon and painfully hurt. He was driving Hutch Workman's black horse, and was standing: up to hold him, for the horse was going boldly. Near Captain Holland's the wheel dropped into a hole and the game little driver was hurled headforemost to fhe ground. The front wheel cut a long gash in the side of his head, and the hind wheel struck on the top. The gashes, cut to the bone, were sewed up by Dr. Bunting. The little fellow come out from the chloroform all right, and Is resting well .this morning. One of the gashes required eleven stitches. To Settle the South.

X?" The physical effects of violent emotion are shown by hysteria and various forms of insanity in animals, as well as in man. THE CATAWBA IN HARNESS. (Continued from First Page). mainly Negroes, live in a camp which has been built for them just south of the company quarters. The camp is laid off like a small town wjth one main street. The houses, being for temporary use, are rough, but comfortably fitted up and the laboring colony has the advantages of water works and well-appointed hygenic arrangements. A Great Traffic In Cement. The road from Rock Hill to the plant is a winding concern, nine miles in length, while the company's wire to that town will be only seven and one half miles. It is probably an elaboration of the original Indian pathway from Indian Hook shoals to the town, winding around the hills in the easiest way. Three miles out from the town, a Mecklenburg man would naturally begin to comment. He would catch a grip anywhere he could on the Jostling vehicle and between Jolts would try to say something in favor of the Mecklenburg good roads and in utter condemnation of the bad roads of York county, S. C., and the surroundings. As the Catawba Power company, however, is not going to run Its current over wheels, the matter of roads, good or bad, may be passed. What this paragraph on the roads was really meant to lead up to was the cement traflc that was encountered. Between Rock Hill and the power plant, eight empty wagons, each drawn by four mules, were met, and eight wagons, also drawn by four mules each were passed. The latter were hauling cement from Rock Hill to the works and the former were returning from the works to Rock Hill for additional loads. The cement is delivered by the railroad at Rock Hill in bags and so much of it has been hauled over the road that the trees and bushes alongside are coated with the dust that has seeped out. The Approach to the Plant. Winding around, up and down these hills, the visitor to the plant who takes note of the topography of the country, gauges his nearness to the plant by a mountainous range running from north to south that looms up in front of him. The Catawba flows east of that range and it appears distant, but at a turn in the road there J" an abrupt change in the scenery. On either side are two country stores, built of rough lumber; just beyond them is the camp and topping all is the headquarters of the company, with a big two-story house and the offices of the engineer, treasurer, commissary and superintendent ^.D TO THE ROCK QUARRY ON THE set about the grounds. One would know that he had arrived at the power plant by the great aggregation of turbines, section of driving wheels, wire rope, shafting, pulleys and other machinery of the kind that is stacked ahmit PTHl ready to he put in place on the completion of the dam. The camp and company quarters are cut off by a high fence. At the gateway is a sign announcing that horses must be hitched up outside. At different places about the grounds printed cards are posted giving the whistle code. The hands in the settlement get up by the whistle, breakfast by it, go to work and knock off by it, and march up to the cashier's window once a week by it to get their pay. Sliuttlnic Off the Water. The complete shutting off of the water at the dam next June is anticipated with great interest by all connected with Dr. Wylie's project. The Observer reporter found Mr. Hazard hospitable to questions of all kinds and was not backward in asking them. Looking up the great valley that is to be conformed into a lake, he asked the engineer how long it would take the dam to "fill up," after the How of water was cut off. Mr. Hazard confessed that he was not able to answer the question?it would take a lot of figuring to come any way near the neighborhood of it. The water, fie said, would be shut off gradually. As to the method of finally joining the dam, the explanation is easy. The coffer-dam, on the west side, shown In one of the views, will be moved to the east side. Then all the water of the river will run to the west side and escape through the outlets at the base of the power house. This will leave the east side clear of water. Under the protection of the coffer-dam, the connection of the masonry dam will be made. Then the coffer-dam will be removed, the openings closed one by one and the water will gradually rise and pour over the dam. The Market For the Power. The 8,000 horse-power of the plant will be distributed according to contracts as they are made. The cotton mills of Rock Hill will doubtless be served first and Fort Mill will also come In for a share of the power. These two towns may take probably one-half of the power of the plant, or 4,000 horse-power. This is stated as a probability, and is merely speculative. The cotton mills and oil mills of Charlotte could take 5,000 horse-power, so it is seen that the power plant would , have more than it could do to supply these three towns alone, were the three to make anything like full demands upon it. Notes. "The Negroes employed at the power plant are the happiest people alive," said a boss foreman to the reporter. "They don't work a bit harder than they are cbliged to, they have good homes, are well clothed and fed. and their only care seems to be to see how quickly they can spend their money after it is handed them out of the window." "It's a great big work," said the engineer of a "hlster," as he came up to inspect The Observer's camera at the noon hour. "It's a big work. But do you know vat I'm holten on for? It's dem flsh. Ven de tarn gloses up, I goes down pelow mit a net vere der vater run oud is and I gets me some flsh enouerh. you pet." The distance of Charlotte from the power plant naturally created the question as to the loss of power In transmission. This is a question that electricians are still figuring upon. Mr. Hazard says that the loss over the distance of eighteen miles from the power house to Charlotte will be appreciable. How much he cannot say, at present, but his company is making a study of this particular and important phase of the matter, and will reduce it to the lowest mark possible. Talking about the size of the d:\rn of the Catawba Power company, I was told that in all the world there are only twenty-five dams that exceed it In height. In this computation, the big Assouan dam in Egypt and the Croton dam in New York, are taken into calculation. They are the two greatest in the world, but among the lesser ones the' Catawba Power company's dam takes - a conspicuous place. Wade H. Harris. END OF THE "LIKIN." Cartons Chinese Graft Which Has at Last Been Abolished. The abolition of the "likin" In China, which was announced in a recent decree from Pekln, removed one more of the picturesque institution's of the Celestial empire. The "likin" was typically Chinese, and the manner in which it was levied and collected could have arroraea interestlng; material for comic operas. Indeed, the comedy writers missed an opportunity when they did not make pST^y il>' * '" * * : WEST SIDE use of it while it lasted. And now, alas! it is gone. The "likin" was a great thing for the mandarins. To begin with, it was a sort of internal tax levied to make up for the cost of the Tai-Ping rebellion. It was supposed to end when the rebellion did, but the mandarins saw the great possibilities It possessed and kept it up. Every mandarin who was sufficiently removed from the royal supervision at Pekin to take the risk, set up "likin" barriers along the roads through his section of the kingdom. The barriers were just as thick as the mandarins dared to set them?and the Chinese mandarin Is a daring Individual when it comes to collecting money for his personal exchequer. On the waterway between Shanghai and Soochoo?to take a single example ?there are ten barriers in a distance of eighty miles?a "likin" for every eight miles. There was no fixed rule as to the amount to be collected from the passing merchant, and the transaction accordingly resolved itself into a diplomatic negotiation between pigtailed collector and the equally appendaged tradesman. In any event, there was always a good many taels of money and many hours of time. However, time is cheap in China, and could oe leri out 01 me calculation. Whenever a new trade route was opened up it was at once pounced upon by the enterprising mandarin and a "Ukin" established. Sometimes the merchants who had previously been going that way would thereupon hire coolies to carry their packs of goods by circuitous back-country routes to theirdestination. This was all right for a time, but the "likin" barrier soon found them out in their new path. Occasionally the people have rebelled at the likin and risen up and leveled the barriers. It takes a good deal to arouse a uninaman, dui wnen ne uucs arouse he is like most mobs and just goes ahead and wrecks things generally. The mandarin of -Swatow was one to suffer from an uprising of this kind. The mandarin had been living rather high and found that he needed more money. Nothing seemed more simple than to increase the likin, which he did. The people under him, however,. while not denying the logic of the action, decided that they needed the money, too, and as two parties cannot have the same thing at the same time, even in China, they rose up, destroyed the liken house, and, having read New York history to advantage, asked the mandarin what he was going to do about It. The mandarin did nothing, but curtailed his living expenses.?New York Times.
