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!"

i SOOTH CAROLINA. I
PENITENTIARY. PAYS.
Superintendent D. J. 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. Her population
is 4,459, according to the census
enumerator as against 3,766 in 1900,
an increase of a little more than IS
per cent. From 1890 to 1900 the town
increased from 1,696 to 3,766, or at
che rate of 122 per cent.
A Probable Split lr, Kershaw.
The territory desiring to annex it
self to Sumter county comprises
about thirteen very large plantations,'
composed of the most fertile soils of
Kershaw county of Eastern Caro
lina. The owners of the plantations
above mentioned are well known, up
to-date farmers, and very desirable
acquisitions to the citizenship of any
county. Proper steps are being
taken for an election.
Opposition to the project may be
encountered.

Barnwell Will Enforce Prohibition.
Steps are being taken by the Barn

dispensary law in the county. A call
has been issued by the* executive
committee to send delegates to a
convention to be held at Barnwell
for memoralizing the legisla
ture to enact a law that will furnish
the means by which the law with ref
erence to the illicit sale of whiskey

Lever on the Firing Line.
W. L. Glover, chairman of the
Orangeburg committee that has been
working very earnestly for the open
ing of the Edisto river to navigation,
received a telegram rrom Congress
man A. F. Lever to the effect that
the board of engineers of rivers and
harbors had reconsidered and made
a favorable report to Congress to
appropriate money enough to survey
the Edisto river, with a view to open

lt looks like the work will be done.
?Uate Teachers' Meeting.
indications point to a large at
tendance of teachers at the meetings
in Columbia March 23-25. A meeting
in the spring is an experiment and
the approaching sessions will be the
first to be held in South Carolina
at this season of the year. It is be
lieved, however, that the change
will be an advantageous one, the sys
tem of having the meetings held in

TAKE A LESSON FROM VENUS
Moral That Writer Has Drawn to
Not Without Some Points of ,
? Worthiness.
Miss Venus ls a lovely girl; not
one time has she muttered, against
her pale, illumined life not one word1
has she uttered. Just think, she's
been without her arms for many dusty
ages, and yet she never drops the
brine or rants in hopeless rages. Sha
has to stand a bunch of gufi from Art
,/ugG down to draymenv and yet sha
neveronce comes back and grills the
heathen layman. When some low?
brow of brutal mien starts merrily to
panning and says her face ls worse
than wood and that her hair ne eda
canning or that, he has a waitress
friend who jerks a coffee' Jigger could
give her many, many leagues and beat
her out on flgger,. she never even
looks at him, that rank untutored sin
ner, .but holds her tongue and pedes;
tal; O, Venus ls a winner. She's on
the job both day and night, she hears
man knock or flatter and women not
of classic mold get madder than a
hatter. She suffers long and quietly
with calm and placid manner, in cold
no mits to reach a quilt, in heat, no
hands fan her. She ls a lesson In
herself-a fruit for daily picking. Jual
apare the world your trouble tales and
scratch the useless kicking.-G. S^ la
Chicago Tribune.
- A Deadly Error.
Dr. W. B. Cannon of Harvard, dis
cus sic g anti-vivisection literature at a
dinner to New *York, said with' a
smile:
"This literature, a part at least, is
as flagrantly erroneous as the medical
department conducted by a young col
lege girl to a weekly paper. A sam
ple reply In this, department ran:
" 'Bereaved.-The reply given last
week was a mistake. It should have
been ten drops of laudanum, not tea
cups of laudanum. Yes, we advocate
cremation rather than the old-fash
ioned burial."
