ally coosidered it was not exactly a Pil
grim’s Progress- -sLe might go and tell;
for she had j Mt renrhed that disagreea
ble age when one begins to develop a
conscience. 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. ' J
Edward understood at once. “All
right,” he said; ’""then we won't ask

Ho'd only lie annoyed,^and that would
be a pity. Now, let’s set off.’’

Hiere was silence again in the old gar

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

The advent of strangers, of whatever
sort, into our circle, hsd always been a
matter of crave dubiety and suspicion;
ind(M»d, it was generally a signal for re-
ireat ii<io caves and fastnesses of the
earth, into unthreaded copits's or remote
outlying con sheds, whence we were only
to be extrii liis! by Wily nursemaids, ren
dered faujjlinr by experience with our
secret rutrs and refuges. 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. ' "f’nnfidence." says
Wffoiehody, “Is n plant.of slow growth;"
and these stately, dark-haiml dnnii-gftds,

spread the bushiest of tails to convey us
to the enchanted- y;as1te. the frog in the
well, the raven who croaked advice from
the tree; and to Harold especially j j

. ougb-LngUsb- of d-'to-rr —liad hern of
baleful effisd on Harold, producing a cer
tain self-conceit and perkiness that called'
for physical coma-thin. 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-

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

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.

DUN’S REVI MW.
New York. June 22.—R. G. 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 *-

Another bill that nestles in the good

Columbia, S. C., June 24.—(Special.)-
Senator Butler spent today quietly reat-

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. At least one-third of the crowd at
understand, mainly aa a compliment to
the Tillmanite returning board for giving
the negro Murray his seat in Congress
and turning down Molse. This at least
was the explanation given to me.”
“Do you expect to attend all the meet

“Yes, and I find I am in better condt
tion than when we began,Moving ‘trained

“A very imperfect Idea can be formed
of these campaign meetings from the
newspaper account*. The headline* and
body of the dhfeatche* contain the sen
national features and appear, in some
iusance* at least, to be oolored to my
disadvantage but ! presume the corres
pondent* have ptor opportunities for ob
servation, a* their attention 1* centered
on their pencils and paper most of the
time.”
“Is the dehate likely to increase In bit

“No, I think not. 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

of the other speakers.
"The first goal to be reached is the
