SACKYI 'The-sun shone on the surface of the road. 'A shcWer had laid the dust and washed the hedges, and the air was. sweet. vrith the .scent of May. Down the little .village, street a jrnanj passdd sloWlV, walking as though ab^ sorbed in. thought; a man of no more than twenty-nine years of age, whose hair was yet i silver, white and whose lace was stamped with the lines of some bygone sorrow.' The thrushes sang their merriest songs In the I? rac ch es, and from the woods beyond jeanie the elegir call of a cuckoo. But neither , tho beauty of the morning nor the song.! of the birds sufficed to rouse John Lyall ir om his sad absorp tion. "He passed slowly. down the lilli, looking neither to the right nor the left A '. . From a corner of the vicarage gar den, where ix gap in the thicket of laurel and rhododendron gave a glimpse of the road, a girl stood and watched him as he passed; a girl with masses of dusky hair and dark eyes that wore , an expression habitually thoughtful even when they lit up .with mirth. She raised her hand to call the-attention of her father, an elderly, and tenlga-looking man, -who stood no: far off in the garden, ad miring the blossoms of a laburnum. Attracted hy her gesture he came to the wall.. ., . -"See, father," she cried, pointing ?own tho road, "there15s the clergy man I told you. of yesterday. You wouldn't believe me. ' Confess now that you were wrong." "Ab, yes, ray dear," said the Rev. Mr.' Hawes seriously, "I confess at once. Last night I heard all about Wm. He is staying with the Lam berts. He is a missionary and has j .been in Chin^.'* "He k oks young, and yet his hair 3s white,":she said thoughtfully. ""His ia a sad story -a terrible rstory," ^ns'sered, her father gently. '"Mr. lambert told it tome last night. "He went out there fonr years ' ago, taking wiitin him his young wife. They seem to have, bs?n very much at tached to each other They were giv .en charge of a small station in the In terior-somewhere upon the Yang "tse River.-,.I believe. He was doing rgood work there. He had a school and a hospital. Then disturbances .came. Printed lies were circulated :among the natives, their passions "were excited, and the nearest manda Tin was too far off to render any lielp. Tiley burned his school. For a time he defended himself in his. boase until that, too, was burned. He was sttu>:k on the head, rendered un conscious and cast into the river.

She stood . silent,* a, shadow of pain upon her forehead.' "Poor mani" she said with a sigh, "itfinust be terrible for him to think of." "Men?fully, be does not think of lt." replied her father. "The blow he received seems to h?ve affected his mind. He has no memory of lt. He does not even know that he has been In China. At times he even talks of going there." Edit?i Hawes passed into the house, filled with pity for the man whose ?tory she had heard. His face, with Its lines of suffering, haunted her. She was by nature and by training deeply religious, and in her eyes the man. who had suffered so mu ci xor bis tal th's sake became ' investee, .with the halo of the martyr. She pit ied him from the bottom of her heart, and it needed only time and opportunity that that pity should ri pen into love. li Two days later she met him' at a .garden party at the Lamberts. ' Mrs. Lambert introduced them casualty and hustled - off to attend to other guests. "So the threads of their fate were interwoven. She stood looking at him with pitying interest; he al lier with an. arrested attention thal had in its intensity something thal -?ras almost painful. ? "You go to China shortly, T be lieve?" she stammered, in the effort to make conversation. "Very soon," he answered^ quietly .Ttfy work will lie there. It is, ] .heard, a most interesting country." She was startled as she realizec "his lack of recollection. True, he: father had told her of it, but to ,jath er it from the man's own lips gav< her a shock. ' It seemed to her tha he mast have spoken in much th< same way four years ago, when h< first went out. "You 3re. interested In the work?' she asked; alter a pause. "Very much," he answered. "I has been my life's aim." That was all that passed betweei them. There seemed no more to say and she moved away. He stood look lng after her. "She Ss very beautiful," he mused .strangely beautiful. She is lik some one. I wonder-" He brok off and passed his hand across hi forehead with a gesture of pain. Edith, too, was thoughtful. __"Tbls ls'the man who'isi to be m iaunth?? thingsrta met loonlieht on the mere . , and the brooding fear Everywhere I see /' i oedar tree y ^window, in thte clear ira, in the austere mystery. s, my secret bcurs iver" the gray dawn / I of you oh its cool breath. ny coffin howers. d borders I am drawn esircs of Death? -Elsa Barker, in The Craftsman.

When at' length the marriage was' arranged. it was not without consid erable opposition on the part of the Vicar. Greatly as he admired the missionary's character, he looked upon his loss of memory as a mental weakness, and could not consider him a desirable husband for his daughter. Moreover, Mr. Lyall was fully deter mined to go to China, and Edith not only accepted his determination, but even sustained him in it. In the end her quiet persistence won its way, and her father gave in at last and re signed himself to the loss of her. On che day of the wedding he himself performed the ceremony, saw the newly married pair drive away, and then shut himself in his study to pore over books he could hardly see for the tear: that gathered in his eyes. * Edith was quietly happy. She had learned from her husband something of his missionary zeal, and looked be yond the happiness of the early months of marriage to the work they were to accom plish together. Not until they had started on their voy? age to the East did she begin to real ize the mere pleasures of living. Then the world in its mystery and beauty took hold, of her. She saw lt unroll before her as a map. The hot -sands pf Port Said,,the long blue levels of the Indian Ocean, the vivid green of | Singapore, became all constituent parts of one glorious whole. The evenings spent under awnings . in calm seas, listening to the throbbing of the screw, were so many hours of placid happiness, hours to be stored in the mind as precious memories. It was with a half sigh of regret that she reached Shanghai at last, and, putting aside those memories, faced the future that lay before her. Her? she learned to give up her I European dress and to wear the straight, ungraceful garb of the Chi-1 ness woman. She workt * hard at ! the language, and spoke lone with men and women who knew the in-1 ierlor. A month was soent in prep aration; then her husband received his orders. He accepted them with out comment. They left together on one of the big, shallow draft river | steamers with white sides and high decks, and a stand of muskets in the wheelhouse. At Hankow, six hundred miles up the muddy river, they changed to a smaller steamer, which took them another three hundred miles to I?hang. From this onward they traveled in junks, passing up-| wai-d through the gorges of the Yang tse, where the river, pent within mountain walls, rushes swiftly down in a series of mighty rapids: where their boat was dragged by main strength of coolie labor against the current, through reaches each more savage and desolate than the last. It was here that Edith began to notice something of a change In her husband-a suppressed excitement, a curious mental exaltation that showed Itself at times in words and gestures that almost frightened her. One evening, as they sat in the stern of their junk, anchored for the night, he swept his arm toward the moun tains. "These are the gates of a strange | land," he said, solemnly-"a land peopled by devils. AU the false gods of the , world who have fled before our faith have come here to dwell together. And power is here given unto them over the souls of men. To them the.whole land ls utterly given over. And we, top," he added, with sombre deliberation, "we too are de livered into their hands." . "John!" she cried, startled and distressed. He started, and when she ques tioned further, did not seem to know that he had spoken. 1 At length they passed the gorges, and two days later came to the vil lage that was to be th?dr home. They parted from their European compan ions, who, were going higher, 1 to Chungking, and took up their quar ters in the house provided for them. It stood in a compound on the ex fl TljE Young ?ja?ij ?-?? rHE young lady across father say he was wc tion of his books, an set of James Whitcoi Tlie young lady J the paper th?t social conditio] the crimes in this country, a: ought to bs more careful abo The young lady across the that a gentleman had just pail York Stock Exchange, and wa people were ia New York; I meant a box for the season.

Ryder. .r> \ treme edge of the village, a;; cluster of red-roofed housea;' separated by. narrow, Insanitary streets','''crowded upon the black mud' pf the' shore. Here, they began their work. The missionary who had preceded them had left, some weeks before,:-his. health having broken down, and there was much to be done; , The dispensary was thrown open, and Lyall busied himself in reaching the souls of his charges through. their bodies. Edith did what she could with the women and children. Eut the work was slow. The sense of isolation weighed her down. She felt that she could not have supported it save for a new hope that she began to whisper to herself ?-a hope delicious, but as yet too uncertain to be spoken aloud even to her husband. About him she B9.J?.began to be greatly trembled. While at work he vas'"quTet?y happy. -But at other times he would stare about the rooms with a -pained ex pression, as ..though the Jost memory were struggling against the bars of its prison, striving to return and to take up its proper abode. One evening she found him tapping at the wall. When questioned, he muttered some thing about setting the barometer. But there was no barometer there; and from that moment she formed the incredible suspicion that he was not living with her, but in a past wherein she had no part-in which she but served to remind him of one who had been his wife, but who was now with the dead. The thought pierced her keenly, but she fought against lt, hoping for better times with the birth of her child. Surely that would reknit the bond of affection that had bound them together. Yet every day his fits of abstraction became longer, his manner more strange. He spent hours cleaning and polishing his revolver. He merely shook his head when she asked him the reason. Day by day she became more and more filled with the conviction that the story of her life was to end in tragedy. But she was no fatalist, and she fought hard against the feeling. She told herself that she had so much to. live for. She determined to live. She resolved that when the next junk called she would send a message to Chungking, asking for relief and a leave of absence for her husband. One night she awoke from the sleeping mattress that served heritor-! a bed to find him absent from her' side. She sat up and looked about her. Beyond the window the night was calm and the moonlight streamed upon the floor, lighting the further room through the open door. In that room, their living room, she could see the figure of her husband going to and fro with stealthy foot steps, peering through the chinks of the shuttered windows and drawing back again with nervous haste. In quick a?arm she rose and went to him. At her touch he turned and gripped her wrist fast, his eyes alight with Insanity. "They are coming! . They are com ing!" he wlspered. "I hear them whispering all abOut. They will be upon us soon." "Dearest," she cried, anxiously,, "there is nothing--no one. The night Is calm. There isn't a sound/ "Listen!" he said sharply, releas-1 lng her wrist and lifting up his hand In the silence that followed she-1 strained her ears to? hear what he f spoke of, but In vain. Not even the gentlest murmur of the wind broke the p?ace of the night. But his face' was distorted with terror. He cast) nfs eyes upward and shrieked aloud.. "The smoke! The smoke!" he cried. "Look at it curling up there. They have fired the hcrase. They are | devils-cruel devils with yellow faces! Lucy, we must part. You must not fall into their hands alive. She felt a pang at his-words. - She* had never heard the name of his first wife before. But she had little time to think. A revolver gleamed in his hand, and he forced her upon her j knees. "John! John dear!" she cried In utter terror. "There is nothing! AU Is quiet!" The sharp sound of the shot shat tered the silence. She pitched for ward without a groan. She lay very still, a little trickle of blood gather ing In a pool upon the floor. Out side in the night the un happy man raced madly along, firing at Imagin ary foes, shouting and clutching at the air! The wheel had come full circle. He had passed back through years of forgetfulness to the point where memory had been lost.-Thf Sketch. No Book Hunters Now.

During the last twenty years, since the introduction of deep wells in Burma, the petroleum output has grown to about 138,000,000 gallons per year.

'Columbia, Special.-A meeting of the Semin?lo Securities company re ceivers and directors was held \ere last week, and it was decided to pay out a. dividend of 20 per cent. The checks will be mailed according to the announcement of the receivers'. The amount to be paid out will be on a basis of about $110,000 and $120, 000 that are stock claims already ap proved, although the i exact amount cannot be determined because all tho claims for stock are not valid. Onlv valid- claims are considered by the receivers. It is also stated that the $24,000 claim entered by Jno. Y. Garlington will have no effect on the settlement. The total amount of stock sold amounted to about $275,000 and of this it is believed that about $200, 000 claims will be proved.

Dr. McLeod is recognized as one of the leading surgeons of the South in addition to his scholarly attainments. Dispensary Investigation. Columbia, Special.-Attorney Gen eral Lyon; Col. T. B.
