Rcdttcing the Cotton Crop.
At a regular meeting of thejlunter’a
Chapel Alliance, No. 595. held on the
7th of Nov. 1891, the following resolu
tion wa* unanimously adopted
Resolved, That we, the member# of
this Alliance plant not exceeding 12

Everything wltl be ready for tlie
oi>enitig by March Ut, 1892, at latest.
Forty-nine Barnwell county boys have
applied for admission. The trustees
adopted last week the following impor
tant resolution:
“Keaolved, if upon the opening day
of the session, more afVfdicants report
than can be admitted in the dormito
ries, that the number admitted from
each county be in the proportion of five
fallible.
The last words had barely left Bimo-
var’e lipe ere a very dark liand rose over
the edge of the table, and tbe next seo-
beeu cufiotuiy pnorhed tureugh tbe < ood, to lira utt«*r cunstenuitioa of fonr
center. Cuaut YmIvitch valued them J men. simtber kopeck, punched exactly
Mai'>n. and it , like tlte first, lay on the cloth. Colonel
Simovar fell bark nod stared first at the
aroond kopeck end then at the guest
who had placed it where it was.
“Paritz. gentlemen, has chased the
kopeck around the world," an id the
guest without the eemblance of a mile
on Ida awarthy face. “He takea great
pleaanre in vitrliratingthe Russian police
by matching Colonel Htmovar’s kopeck.
1 am Paritx."
Colonel Simovar broke into a derisive
laugh.
“Yon are my friend and gnest, Cap
tain Baailntch," said he to tke so called
Pariix “1 recollect that we met in
ConataoUnople and again in Milan and
Atheux Come, come, gentlemen, Cap
tain Basil vitch is a man of honor. We
will dnnk to hia little joke."
The face of Pants did not relax.
Rising to his feet he drew forth a
small diary, tbe .leaves of which he
turned with provoking coolnesx
At length ho beg:in to road of Colonel
Simovar*# minutest doings in France and
among the Pyrenees. From this he
jumped to the tourist in America, and
waa following him step by step back to
the con's dominions, when Simovar
threw up his hand.
“It is enoughr he said with qnivertng
lip. “There is but one dovil, and his
name is Paritz!" ——
The police spy bowed. “1 take the
punched kopeks, gentlemen, and the
murderer of Count Yasilvitch as well,”
and gathering up the two coin* with
one hand, ho touched Simovar on the
shoulder with the other. ~7 r '
There was not the least resistance on
the colonel’s part, and he went with
Paritz and kirn punched kopecks to the
station. , ; -
The little wine supper thus startlingly
broken up by the indefatigable spy of
the czar was never resumed, and the
two Frenchmen left 8t. Petersburg the
next day fully convinced of the power
and the ctficiency of the Russian era-,
pro. \ . '
ColoneJ Simovar paid the severest pen
alty of the law for bis secret crime, and
from the day of the finding" of. tho
panelled kopeck the name of Paritz has
been invested with a new Aread and

consider him a inyth, and to believe
that the name had become a general
term for the Third section. .* I went
abroad a few months after tho Yasil
vitch mystery was sprung on society
and traveled almost incessantly for ten
years. I ^vi si ted nearly every part of the
globe, finding wherever 1 went secret
representatives of our police, With whom,
being a native Russian myself, I liecaxne
as intimate a* possible. I tried by these
means to keep tfack of the mythical
Paritz and his trail. *fhe secret agents
had heard about the missing kopeck, bnt f
they did not know how far Paritz had
progressed, nor where he was then.
“There was something ludicrous in
tho story of Paritz and the punched ko
peck. Tho c6in had continually baffled
the czar’s spj^, and he had heard noth
ing of it from the time it left Count
Yasilvitch’* possession. Your French
detectives might have done better, but
poor Paritz, he could find nothing!
“About a year ago interest in the
count's death was suddenly revived by
the arrest of a man who had a lot of rare
coins on his person. There was said to
be some of these missing from the mur
dered man’s collection, and they were
subjected to the closest scrutiny. Tho
fellow arrested was ad honest and illit
erate mndjik, who averred that he had
found the coins in the weed grown gar-
deb attached to the late count's resi
dence. He waa not released till the gar
den had been spaded over for more coin
by the authorities, whose labors were re
warded by the, finding of several rare

took him aroaud the neck and kissed

Thereupon the Rev. John was so of- ;

been unable to leave her father*# side at
that time. She feared she would bo too
late; still she could bat try.
On reaching tb# stage door her heart
tltnuel failed her; bnt their home again
rose np before her, and she ventured to
accost the doorkeeper.
“Want to see tbe stage manager, ehF*
“Yes, sir, if yon please."
“Better wait till tomorrow."
“I tried to eocae today, air, bnt conld
not "
“Indeed! OIn here he comes; you con
apply to him now."
That functionary happened to be paus
ing, and bearix& the words understood
their import at once. He turned a
rearching look upon the poor girl, and
wa* about to p-uw on. But he caught
sight of her face iu the gaslight, and said:
“Not bad looking if she ia in ragx bo
you want an engagement, eh?”
“Yes, sir, if yon please,” replied Marie.
“To play Ltvdy Macbeth, I soppoee/"
“No, sir; for the bcllet."
“Ohl Ever been ou tho stage before?”
“Only os a child, sir."
“Oh, only os a child! Do yon sing?”
“Yes, rir-—very well."
“Very well, so yon think) 1 might not.
Do you danced
“Yes, sir. Father was an actor, and
he say* I dance very well.”
' f Oh, then you can come tomorrow
and try it."
“I will be here, sir."
“Bring your props with you.*' -*
Poor Marie hesitated; and tbemana
gcr, observing this, sail; “Qh» perhaps
you don’t know what I mean by props.
Well, they are yonr feathers, jewels,
ribbons, laces, tights, slippers, gloves,
and bo on. Wo only furnish the body of
yonr dross.” -
The poor girl still hesitated, when the
manager asked again, “Can’t you fur
nish your own prope?”
“I fear not at first, sir,” was the timid
reply.
“Then we don't want yon.”
L The manager turned away, and Marie
staggered toward the door, half blinded
with grief and disappointment. But ero
die had passed it a gentle hand was laid
upon her shoulder, and a sweet voice
>xclai;iitd, “My dear child, come and
eee me tomorrow as early a* possible.
Herein my a idresw.”
Marie vie wed tho extended card and
tamed her eyes toward the speaker. Sue
was a brilliant creature, and the poor
girl tried to Stummer forth a reply, but
could not. She left the theater and took
her way homeward. She could not help
tbinkiug of the beautiful lady and her
magnificent dress, sparkling with jewels.
What could she wxnt with her?
Even bright picture* of the future ro^e
before her visiou, and these dulled the
sharpness of her grief at the disappoiut-
she had met with. She did not
tell her father what she had done, or
that she had an engagement to meet one
of the great ladies of the theater. »
On the next day Marie culled at the
place designated upon the card. Her
visit waa a lengthened one, but When
she emerged from tbe lady's presence
