Agatha the' Sixth - Strikes Archie as a handpainted beauty. Agatha First ls a breezy American girl. Only night days remain for Archie to se ' our? a bride. Lady Vincent tells her hus band that Agatha the Sixth already cares "JOT Ar-V . , CHAPTER li!^-Continued. . Shs looked at me with an infinite ' ?fartTWMt? m. ber eyes. -Dear: Freddy!" she replied, "cant Ton see that wouldn't do at all? Arch ibald must prove he loves her, really loves .her, before he can know that!" "But ? think he does," I expostulat ed; 1 really believe he cares for her! Bo's always ssaid he couldn't forget .boat har, ever since that time we were all bore together, when you pre tend od to be Miss Marsh." "I haven't a doubt of it," she re plied. "If I had; do you think I would have inri ted the poor girl iere to be made sperrt of? Morely for the sordid purpose of providing your friend with a chance to win a fortune? As if the thing were a kind of game of chance, and .abe the pries for the man lucky encash to guess right!" . * As abe said this my wile blushed charmingly, and there was a kind of indignation m ber tone. I gaped at ber. I didnt see what there was to sst io mad about. "So that's what yon did lt for? Be cause jon wanted to help Agat?? Sixth?" I said slowly, with a feeling that X did' not yet quite know my wife. Fm.always learning something new, it seems to me, about the un selflahrtess and sweetness of her char acter. "Mainly," she replied. Tve been Agatha Sixth's confidante a long time, and have known of her attachment for your friend ever since the first Castle Wyckkeff house party." . ... "And had long ago resolved to make hex cause your own should" a chance *of furthering it present itsel!!"I cried with new enthusiasm for htr loyalty arid devotion to her friends, "good fel low that you are!" "Don'C* said Dearest; "I've Just done my hair!" And I laughed , as 1 beard this new variation of an old theme.. . "But stay* I said, "I dont see why !f they both' love each other and you know that they both love each other I don't see why we cant tell Arch about it, just to hurry things along and put the poor old boy out of his suspense!" "Because he must prove that fie ' loves her, first!" said Agatha, in tones .of decision. "He must, indeed, Fred dy. It's imperative that he should. He's an old dear, of course, but at the same time he's too egotistical for any thing-too conceited for words! He thinks every girl he meets is In love with bim! And for that reason the , pursuit, the wooing, must be entirely on bis side and ? fostered by us with the greatest care. It wruld ruin Agatha Sixth's chances of happiness, suppose she should marry him, if he were to hear by any. means whatever that she cared for him, before he tells har he cares for her. And as likely as not, it would break off the match. Men are that way!" "I suppose you're right," I sighed, "but it seems hard." "Supposer' questioned my wife. "I know," I corrected myself hastily. "You should," she said. "Do you think you would have liked it," her eyes soddenly grew very large and swam in tears, "if any - one had told yju that I . cared, before you'd pro posed r "No," I said, taking out the fresh handkerchief I had just stowed away In the pocket ot my dinner coat, and I knelt down beside her. "Then don't you think it would be very unkind of us to rob her of the chance to teil him so herself when he asks ber, and him of the joy of hear ing it first from her lips? Don't you think it would be sacrilege?" "Murder," I whispered, and pressed the handkerchief to her eyes. "We were so happy-are so happy, our selves"-she murmured tn my ear. "I want them to be, too, so don't let's say a word to spoil it, to cake lt from them, "Freddy, dear!" Td die first," I told her, and we were silent a long time while the - rooks in the beeches outside our open windows, like an army of little old maids in black, scolded and gossiped about us. But . inexplicably enough, I never felt 'the discomfort of kneeling so. long, though there 'wasn't BO much as a rug. between my knees and the hardwood floor. CHAPTER IV, It was cn the morning following that oar match-making schemes took a more decisive torn, and the situation which I had resolved to let strictly alone began of itself to develop in a way that really seemed crucial or 1 had better say, final. Dearest and I were playing a fast game of tennis on the court down by the lodge, which was in better condi tion then the ones nearer the castle, and werne hard at i-V with the satisfy tavAfirwT armar ar cmr auM/r lug consciousness that things were go ing well with our loverers pervading every stroke. We had observed with pleasure on the evening previous that Archibald had done nothing but de vote himself to Agatha Sixth, and had brought his devotion in public to a well-managed termination by Inviting the girl out for a stroll on the terrace "to see the moon!" Happy excuse for seeing each other! Time-honored and time-worn, but as good as new to each frosh pair of lovers! And from this moonlight walk Agatha had augured, and I had boped, great things. Then again early that morning we had seen them depart for a drive to the village, where lt seemed young Miss Lawrence had an errand. I don't know that I have mentioned before that Lawrence was Agatha Sixth's last name, just as Endicott was Agatha First's. I have grown so used to re? ferring to them as Arch and I were accustomed to do in the days when there was a necessity for keeping their Identities a secret beyond the knowledge of their first names, that I'd almost forgotten they had any other. The best part of the thing was that although they had only two miles to go, the pair had not yet returned. And lt was now high ..con. Dearest couldn't get over it, and frisked and hooped so, I had to beg her to remem ber that she was playing tennis and not "cup and ball." . "Forty love!" I called across the net, serving my fast serve that I sel dom use against my wife, in my pre occupation as my thoughts would per sist in dwelling upon Arch and bis love affair rather than upon the game. "I say, do you think they can have eloped?" "That's too good to hope for!" re turned Agatha, though she was not so Fell to Playing 8ome successful with the ball. "Game!" I cried, as it smashed into the net But for once Dearest was not vexed with me for winning. With a smile so ab stracted and clairvoyant as to make me guess at once the tenor of her thoughts, she picked lin the ball and wandered back to the service line. "Ready!" she called, but Instead ol' serving, suddenly let her racquet fall clattering to the ground. "Wilfred!" she cried, as if a happy thought had struck her, "do you sup pose he will ask her toda>?" "More than likely !" I answered ex uberantly, and then, coming close up to the net, "but I say, sweetheart, arsn't you going to play any more?" "0, yes!" she cried, starring and stooping quickly to recover her racquet. "Of course I am! I waa only just thinking-" "So was I! But don't let's any more, or we can't play the game!" So we succeeded in putting all thought of the two out of our heads and fell to play ing some pretty fast tennis. Agatha First, 1 may explain, in the meantime was playing golf all by her self down on the course by the river. Dearest had offered her the escort of young Leslie Freer, the rector's son, who lived down in the village, but she would have none of him, to my dismay. In fact I had begun io feel conscience-stricken almost for fear we were neglecting the poor a?n in our absorption in our other two guests, but Dearest had reassured me by saying she thought Agatha First waa the _ind of girl who preferred out-of-door exercise and her own com pany to any number of young men. I had just succeeded in making the score of a hotly contested game "deuce" again, when the dog cart in which Ter h une and Miss Lawrence had driven off that morning appeared, approaching briskly from the direction of the castle where* Terhune had ap parently left bis companion ou his way to tbe stables. "Yantage in! Game!" called my wife triumphantly. "You're no good at all, Wilfred." "Game, set," I re piled. "Wonderful good tennis, Dear est," and dropping our racquets, we went to speak to Arch. - I wouldn't have told Dearest for the world, of course, but the truth waa that in spite of my praise of her play ing, I had let her beat "CJouldn't you rind a groom to take the cart down for you?" I inquired rather indignantly as Terhune came to a halt in the road. "Lazy beggars, those grooms!" , "The butler told me you peopl? were down here playing tennis," said Arch, "and I waa in such a hurry to Bee you I brought it down myself. Thought I'd walk back with you, y'know." Agatha held out her hands to him eagerly as he got down and stood be side UH. "Then you've got something to tell us!" Bhe cried, "you havel-I know you have!" "Tn a way-yes!" he answered, "but it's not what you think, at least not exactly. By Jove, Vincent!" turning to me, "I'm in an awful mesa! A beast ly unfortunate dilemma, don't you know!" "But I don't know! What's the trou ble, Arch? Tell us!" "Yes, tell us!" urged my wife. . "Well, you see," began the old boy, -and he mopped his brow with his handkerchief in an anxious way that made me feel quite sorry for him, "you see the way of lt was, I went and asked her all right, but-" he paused. "But what! What did she sayr cried Dearest and I together. "For heaven's sake!" I added, as he still stammered, "get it out!" "St j said," he replied grandly, "t\at she cared for me." ; "Then what on earth are you put ting on such a long face about?" I roared, and Dearest asked him anx iously what was wrong about that "Why, the trouble is," he told us, getting more and more serious, "that in spite of that admission she wont give me a definite answer until a month from now!" "But she can't'walt that long}" I expostulated, as if Terhune himself were to blame for this complication. "Don't you see that if you're not actu ally and for a fact engaged by the end of this week you might as well Pretty Fart TennU. not be engaged at all, at least as far aa your aunt's property is concerned?" "I know," he said. "Nobody sees that any plainer than I do. .Thara why. I'm so upset. What can have pos sessed the girl, do you suppose? I didn't think she was the trifling kind!" "Nonsense," declared my wife, a' . or itatively, "a little coquetry In the right place ls perfectly admissible! She didn't want to make it too easy for you, that's all. Very feminine, and quite delightful of her, I call it!" "That's all very well," replied Ter hune with some heat "and proper enough I dare say! But think what that same coquetry may cost me!" And* you could see as he said lt that he already beheld in his mind's eye that third cousin of his aunt's sitting on the veranda of the house on bis aunt's property in Australia, with his feet on the railing. - - . "Well, if that's all you care about! If you're only interested In getting1 that silly old fortune of your aunt'B.I hope, yes, I positively hope, that she will keep you walting until lt ls too late!" said Dearest unexpectedly. Terhune stared In surprise at this point of view and I own I couldn't help siding with him a little. "But my dear girl," he protested, "how can I help being Interested in lt? A fortune's a fortune, and besides, isn't it for her, too, that I want lt, as well as myself? And then, you know, how absurd it is if she's going to ac cept me anyway, as I'm rather sure she ls, that Bhe can't say so in time to get me a fortune as wei' "Ba wife?" "Come, now!" I put in, "that does seem reasonable, doesn't it Dearest?" ."I thought you understood better than that, Wilfred," she said, with a look almost of severity at me, and to Terhune. "I see you must be chastened still further, Archibald," she told him, "until you learn what true love ia! 'Disinterested, unselfish love!" (TO BE CONTINUED.) The man who hustles when he's young can take lt easy when hoV old. ?STEPTO Two Methodist Bodies Agree to Come Together.' ? ,. il CHAT?N00GA CHURCHES (JOIN.

Griffith Has Made a Grand Success. The State peintentiary in the fiscal ye^t turned into the State treasury $70,000 in cash, representing the profits: of the year. The State peni tentiary was established as a prison and for years was not eren self-su | faining. Today it is a producer of revenue. Under former superintend ents its scope developed gradually and today it stands clear of debt and hEU? $76,000 in bank with which to start the year on a cash basis. The total income of the institution lats year as shown in the report of the superintendent, Capt. D. J. Griffith, was $137,288.16. The operat ing expenses were $75,805.07, perma nent improvements $8,447.19, leaving a net balance of $61,433.09, to which is to be added the account due for convict hire from responsible persons $6,500. The grand total of profit for the year is therefore $67,983.09, or within a few dollars of $68,000. When he was elected superintend ent 12 years ago, Capt.. Griffith re ceived as the cash assets of the in stitution, $83, and along with this was a floating indebtedness of several thousand dollars, money due on notes to the Carolina National bank. Since that time-in addition to? many physical improvements made, in ad dition to paying into the State treas ury $160,000, in addition to paying off all floating debts-the institution ha sended this year with $76,000 cash on hand with which to begin the operations of this year on a -cash basis. Despite the destruction wrought by two freshets, each of which -was-al most without precedent, Capt. Grif fith's administration has earned . In cash $236,000 and has made $125,000 in permanent improvements, approxi mately $360,000, or $30,000 ner annum. REPORT ON RAILROADS. . Commission ? Makes Some Recom mendations-What is Needed. The annual report of the railroad commission contains 421 pages. ' It is asked that a rate expert be appointed. It is stated that such an officer would earn his salary many times. It is also asked that an in spector be appointed to be continu ously on the railroads of the State making inspections. There were 32.9 miles of railway constructed in the State during the year. . . . The commission does not recom mend that .the cinder deflector law be amended. It is stated in the re port that the law has been violated by several of the railway companies pf the State and'that cases are now in the hands of the attorney general for prosecution. Attorney -General Lyon has already given the opinion that th? law is detective and thatmo road can be prosecuted. It is 'stated that many complaints and. petitions, have been handled, by the commission" during the year. The commission says in the report that there is no doubt in their minds that the tele phone service in many places is de ficient and that an inspector ?hould be appointed to make investigations. Abbeville's Population "Stunt." Abbeville nearly reached the 5,000 mark in population.
