Charlotte, for her part, had a habit'of div-d’vrtititi. and ,waa as likely tia not to fall overboard in one of her rapt musing*. To be mire, she would dissolve in tears when she found herself left out; but even that was better than a watery tomb. In fine, the public voice -fctn! rightly, perhaps—was against the admission of the skirted animal, spite the precedent of Atalanta, who was one of the original crew. “And now,” said Edward, “'who’s r to ask Farmer Larkin? I cati’t; last time I saw him he said when he caught me again he'd smack my head. You’ll have to." I hesitated, for good reasons. . “You knoyv -those-precious calves of his?”’ I began.

I felt clumsily helpless and awk ward. Nothing remedial suggested it self beyond a vague idea of kicking Harold. ^ i- None of, u? bad:.,.noticed the approach of another sbe-ereature—ono of the an gular and rigid class—how diSerent from our dear comrade! The years Medea had claimed might well have belonged to her; she wore mittens, too—a trick J detested in woman. “Lucy!" she said sharply, in a tone with ahnt writ large ali over it; and Medea started up guilti ly. “You’ve been crying," said the new- coftner, grimly regarding her through spectacles. “And pray who are these exceedingly dirty little boys?" “Friends of mine, aunt,” said Medea promptly, with forced cheerfulness. “I —-I’ve known them a long time.

It was not surprising, therefore, that the heroes qf classic legend, when first we maid their acquaintance, failed to win our entire sympathy at once.

Rut even in otir admonishment we .w--re »>n bis side; and as we distrustfully eyed these new ar . rivals, old Saturn himself seemed some thing of a parvenu. Even strangers, however, i>» they he good fellows at heart, may develop into sworn comrades; and these gay swords men. after all. were of the right stuff. 1 ersens, with his cap of,darkness and his wonderful sandals, was not long in wing Ing his way to our hearts; Apollo knocked at Admeitua' gate in something of the right fairy fashion; Psyche brought with her an orthodox palace of magic, as well as helpful birds and friendly ants. I, ly SSI'S, with his captivating shifts and strategies, broke down the final barrier, r.nd henceforth the band was adopted and admitted into our freemason!*!-. I had been engaged in chiteing Farmer Larkin calves-diis special pride—round* the field,.just to show- the man we hadn't forgqtfen him. and was returning through^ the kitchen-garden with a conscience at peace, with all men, when T happemsl upon Edward, grubbing'-" for worms in the dung-heap. Edward pat his worm Into bis hnt, and we strolled along togeth er,'discussing high matters of state. As we reached th# tool-shed, strange noises arrested our steps; looking, in, -we per ceived Harold, alone, rapt, absorbed, im mersed in the special game of the mo ment. He was squatting in an old pig- trough that hed been brought in to be tinken«d; and as he rhapsodised, anon he waved'a-shovel over his head, anon dug it into the ground with the action of those who wtiuld urge Canadian canoes. Edward strode in upon him. “What rot are you playing at nW?" h» demanded stonily. Harold flushed up, hut stuck to his pig-trough like a man. ‘Tm Jason." he replied defiantly: “and this is the Argo. The other fellows arc here too, only you can t see them; 'and we’re just going through the Hellespont, so don’t you oome bothering.” And once more he plied the wine-dark seh. Edward kicked the pig-trough contemp tuously. “Pretty sort of ’Argo you’ve got!” said he. Harold ghenn to got annoyed. "1 can’t help it;r he replied. "It’s the best sort of ArgW T cqn mana-ge, and it’s all right, if you%ilj pretend enough; but you never •cdtrtd.pretend one bit.” Edward reflected. “Look here,”, be said presently. “Why shouldn’t we get hold of Faqiner Larkin’s boat, and bang away up th$ rivet in a real Argo, and look for Medea, and the Holden Fleece, and everything? And I’ll tell you what! I don’t jininri your being Jason, as you thought Of it first.” v Harold tumbled out of the trough in the excess of his emotion. “But we aren’t allowed to go on the water by onr- eelvea,” he cried. “No,” said Edward, with fine scorn: ‘we aren’t allowed; and .TaSon wasn’t allowed either, I dare say—but he went!” Harold's protest had been merely con ventional; he only wanted to he con vinced by sound argument. The next question was, How about the girls? Selina was distincly handy in a'boat; the difficulty about her was, that if-she disapproved of the expedition—and, mor- t : 1 . us In niiy atlas; indeed, our Argo could hardly turn in it without risk of ship wreck. But to us ‘twas Orinoco, ami /he cities of the world dotted its shores, We put the ArgoVafihead up-stream, siucai that led away frtra the I&rlftJi pfd\-W!C^'; Harold was faithfully permitted to lie Jason, and we shared the rest of the he roes among us. So we passed, ^rejoic- ne. over the deep-blue Symplegades, hrough the Clashing Rocks, and under 'he lee of the siren-haunted isles. It was after some hour or two's sea faring that the prow of the Argo cm- iedded itself in the mud of p landing- dai'-e, pi a shy with the tread-of cows and tivijng on to a lane that led towards the smoke, of human habitation* Edward lumped ashore, alert for exploration, and drode off without waiting to se-- if we followed; but I lingered behind, having •aught sight of a moss-grown water-gate 'latd by, leading into a garden that, from he brooding quiet lapping it round, ap peared to portend magical possibilities. Indeed, the very air w ithin seemed stiller, is we circumspectly passed through the gate- and Harold hung back shamefaced, us if we were crossing the threshold of ; ome private chamber, and ghosts of old lays were hustling past us. Flowers there were, everywhere; but they drooped •md 'sprawled in an overgrowth hinting it indifference; the went of heliotrope' possessed th*- place as if actually hung in 1 <olid festoons from tall uutrimmed hedge o luslgc. \o basket-chairs, shawls, or. anrels dotted the lawn with color: and • >n th<- garden-front of the h(»use behind. ,ihe blinds, were mostly drawn. A gray •Id sun-dial- ilMHiHtatisl the central sward, utd we hioveil towards it instinctively, :s the most human thing visible. Aft* ‘•dique motto ran round it. and with Acs and fingers we struggled, at the de- iphertnent. . -y- — / TIME: TRYETH; ’I’ROTHL’:'’ -•t't'lt out Harold at last. "I wonder what ihntmean*?” I .‘''.mid not euligUteu .him. W . meet his furtlier uih-ntio»ti* —as to- the Inner mechanism of .the thing, and where you wound it up. I had seen th“»e iustru- ments. before, of iH-ur>e: but hqd never fully understood tle-ir manner of work- Kj*:. We uvre still puzzling our heads over ■ he ..contrivance, when 1 became aware that Mali's herself was nfoving down the pnth from the house. Dark-haired, sup- t*lc, of a figure lightly posed-and swaye^l, Imt t ale and listless—I kie w her at once, 4mi having come out'to find her, natur- illy felt no surprise at alh—But Harold. ,who was to-lng to climb on to the top of ;hc sun-dial, having a cat-like fond ness for the summit of things, started md fell prone, liaiking- his chin and filling the pleasance with lamentation. Medea skimmed the ground swallow like. and in a moment was on her knees comforting Jura, wiping the grave! out of his chfin with, her own dqintv hand kerchief and vocal with soft murmurs of-consolation. "You needn’t take on so about, him.” I observed politely. “He’ll cry -for just one minute, and thgn he"!! be all right.” My estimate waf justified. At the end of bis regulation time Harold stoo ped crying sudden!/, like. a clock that had struck its hour; and with aerene and cheerful countenance, wriggled out of Medea's embrace, and ran for a *tone to throw at an intrurfve blackbird. “O you 1h>jw!” cried Medea, throw ing wide her arms with abandonment. "Where have you dropped from? How- dirty you arel I’ve been shut up here for n thousand years, and ill that time I’ve never seen any one under a hun dred and fifty! Let’s play at some thing, at once!" “Rounders is a good game,”, I sug gested. “Hirls can play at rounders. And we could serve up to the sun-dial here. But you want a-bat and a ball, and some more people.” w- — She struck her hands together tragical- 'y- "I haven’t a bat," she cried, “or a ball, or more people, or anything sensible whatever. Never mind; let’s play at hide-and-seek in the kitchen-garden. And we’ll race there, up to that walnut-tree; I haven’t run for a century!” She was so easy a victor, nevertheless, (hat I began to doubt, as I panted be- oind. whether she had not exaggerated her age by a year or two. She flung herself into fiide-and-seek with all- the gusto and abandonment of the true ar tist: and as ahe flitted away and re-ap- neared, flushed and laughing divinely, the pal# witch-maiden seemed to fall away from her, and she moved rather as that other girl I had read about, snatched from fields of daffodil to reign in shadow Moit-, yet permitted once again to visit earth and light and the frank, caressing air. Tired at last, we strolled back to the old sun-dial, and Haorid, who never re linquished a porblem unsolved, began afresh, rubbing his finger along the faint incisions. “Time trieth trothe. Please, I want to know what tha means?” Medea's face drooped low over the ■nb- dial, tjil it was almost hidden in her fin gers. “That’s what Tm here for,” she said presently In quite a changed, low voice. “They shut me up here—they think m forget—hnt I never will—never, never! And he, too—but I don’t know— ^ ^ beast’" I replied. "T/hucy the sun giv*lng any one a head- -lie down. The sun wilPgive you a head ache. And you little boys had better run awhy~-fcMne to ymur tea. Remem- Ist, you should not come to pay visits without your nursemaid.” Harold had been tpgging nervously at my jacket for some time, and I only waited till Medea turned and kissed a white band to us ss she was led away. Thea I ran. We gained the boat , In safety; and “What an old dragon!” said Harold aeWf'% But Medea was n real brick. Couldn’t we carry her off?” “We could If Edward was here." said Harold, confidently. The question was. what had become • J that defaulting hero? We were not left king in doubt. First, there came down the lane the .shrill and wrath ful clamor of a femile tongue; then Ed- werd, running his best: and then an ex cited woman hard on his beds. Edward tumbled Into the bottom of the boat, gasping “Shove her off!” And shove her off we did. mightily, while the dame abused us from the bank in the self-same accents with which Alfred hurled defi ance at the marauding Dane. "That was just like a bit out of West ward Ho!" I remarked approvingly, as we sculled dow;n the stream. “But what had you been doing to her?" “Hadn't been doing anything," panted' Edward, still bryathless. “I went up into the village and explored, and it vnis a very nice one. and the people were very polite. And there was a black smith’s forge there, and they were shoe ing horses, and tho hoofs fizzled and smoked, ahd smelt so jolly! I stayed there quite a long Ume. Then I got thirsty, so I asked that 0I4 woman for some water, and while she was getting it her cut came out of the cottage, and looked at me in a nasty tort of way, and •aid something I didn't like. So I went up to It just to—to teach it manners, ap l somehow or other, next minute It was up an applotree, spitting, and I was run ning down the lane with that old thing after me.’ Ed dward was so full of his personal in juries that there was jio intere«ting i .'hiin in Medea at all. Moreover, the eve ning was closing In. and it was evident that this cutting-out expedition must be kept for another day. As we neared home, it gradually occurred to us that perhaps the greatest danger was yet to come; for the farmer must have missed his boat ere now. and would probably 1h» fying in wait for us near the landing- place. There was no other spot admit ting of debarcation on the home Pide; If we got out on the other, and made for the bridge, we Should certainly be seen and cut off. Then it was that I blessed my stars that our elder brother Vas with us that day; he might be little good at protending, but 1 in grappling with the stern facts of life he had no equal. En joining silence, he waited till we were but a little way from the faied landing- place, and then brought us in to the oppo site bank.. We scrambled out noiselessly and—the gathering darkness favoring us —mmehed byhind a willow, while Ed wrffd pushed off the empty i»oat with his foot. The old Argo, borne down by the gentle current, sill and grazed along the rushy Itank; and when sjie eame opposite the suspefted^ ambush, a stream of im precation tofil us that our precaution had not bee t n wasted. We wondered, as we listened,' where P’armer Larkin, who was bucolically bred and reared, had acquired such range and wealth of vocabulary. Fully realizing at last that his boat was derelict, abandoned, at the mercy of wind and wave—as well aa ont of his reach— he strode away to the bridge, about n quarter of a ‘mile further dow:n; and as soon as we heard his boots clumping on the planks we nipped out, recovered tliie eraft. pulled across, and made the faith ful-vessel fast to her proper moorings.. Edward was anxious to wait and ex change courtesies and compliments with the disappointed farmer, when he should confront us on the opposite bank; but wiser counsels prevailed. It was possi ble that .the piracy was not yet laid* at out particular door. Ulyssts, I remind ed him. had reason to. regret a similar “act of bravado, and—were he here— wouldcertainly advise 4- timely retreat. Pjdward held- but a low opinion of me as a counsellor, but he had a very solid re spect for Ulysses. THi; PI LLMA* STHHCK. Tl-e Compnny Threnteneil With >1 Boycott. Chicago. June 22.

Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade will say tomorrow: Th-. week has been rich in promise hnt poor in performance. It was confidently promised that exports of gold would cease but they have not. It Vras promised that the end of tbs coal strike would bring Immediate re- .covery of industries but partial resump tion of work discloses compargtive scan- tine^ of demand for products, while the miners of Ohio in convention hare re pudiated the settlement and continue the strike and in many other localities it lingers and al»ove all, the coke workers strike blocks most of the iron manu facture in the central region, less than a quarter of the coke ovens being yet «!’ -nrrxvlr ^ •" a" work. l bat .. th r 'At* change. in thb Tariff bill would be more satis- factory to industries but the new schedules have not yet diminished hesi tation. The Treasury gold reserve is reduced lower than it was at any time in January and the Government proposes to ship le gal tenders to interior points against de- IHilfAts of gold in the Treasury at rates which virtually constitute a premium on gold. The conference of New Ydrk hankers proposing to provide gold for ex port resulted in little practical guarantee hut called attention more distinctly to the difficulties of the situation. Most lenders now require a stipulation for gold payments In all time loans. The custom* receipts-fSr the week have been $1,802,113 Against $6,568,119 last year and the interna! revenue also de creases $452,000. The market for Corh- mercial piper is singularly clear with ex treme scarcity of notes. It was confidently expected that tho settlement of tariff rates on tellies by the Senate would improve the condition of textile manufactures, but there is scarcely any evidence of such a result aa yet. the large sales of cottons being dis tinctly tracyible to more seasonable weather and large retail sades and to further concessions ^4.sellers. The stock of unsold print riotha" Providence, Fall River and Boston is over a million pieces but the accumulation, continues. The orders for fall are limited and staple, are irregular in price. There is much disappointment that the partial settlement of the coal strike does not promptly enlarge the demand for Iron products which is eviden'ly too narrow as yet to support much increase off production. Prices are weakening. Bessemer pig aelling at $10.00 Pit *- Umrg, beams at $1, and angles at* *\ 20 ftrder* are comparatively liberal though much smaller than In rfher rears hut no improvement is seep at Philsdelnhta, whi'e in the central region the' contin uing on'ic strike and grave sKnation about the aettleroent of coke workers ws-res cause much hesitation.

C., June 24.—(Special.)- Senator Butler spent today quietly reat- ing In Columbia after his week's cam paign labors. Wh«.n I called on him this afternoon he waa perfectly willing to be interviewed and spoke unreservedly. “Well, senator, are you satisfied with the first week?” I asked. Yes, I am very well satisfied with the week’s woTk,” he replied. “If Tillman's voters, the hand primary did not show n.ore than" one hundred and fifty; some think-not, that many, and at Ijancaater, with about eight hundred people present, there were cct two hundred bands in the «!r, at! bough some of the crowd held up both hands. At Chester he did not take a hand primary. At every place we have Kpoken I had aa many and at some places more than. Tillman, notably at Sumter. At Camden there were not more than tjhrce or four hundred voters, the rest of tho crowd of shout two hundred being hoys, negroes and people from other coun- tiee.

As a rule the people are anxious to hear and they listen re spectfully. You know a half dosen men fn a crowd can make a tremendous racket and according to my observation not more than that number attempt it, and this only in one or two places. Aa far as I can I shall continue to avoid any oc casion for excitement or trouble and trust in this I <nay have the co-operation of the other speakers.
