"Yes, I am," said Meta Graham, saucily. "Why shouldn't J?" "Its very unfemiiiine to spend all one's time running after the gentlemen," snapped Miss Georgiana. "But it's just the other vray in my case, Cousin Georgiana," said Meta, demurely. "The gentlemen run after we.'*: "Pshaw!" > "Mr. Elleslie asked me to walk i through the cemetery with him this afternoon," added Meta, commanding her temper with admirable equanimity. "I did not ask him." And away tripped the little lassie, humming a popular air, in the sauciest and most fascinating manner possible. Georgiana Tripton was seven-and* thirty, and Meta Graham was seventeen, consequently it can easily be comprehended that" there was no great sympathy between the two cousins. : Georgiana was bilious and yellow, exR' acting and irritable?Meta fresh and rosy as Aurora's self,' with/a temper aweet as a May morning, and a score of lovers at her feet? Love^was as yet only Meta's plaything, but matrimony in the eves of Georciana Tripton was the one serious business of life.' She had made up hej; mind to marry Frank Elleslie, albeit that young lawyer was ten good years younger than herself, and as both happened to be sojourning at the same hotel, fate for once seemed inclined to favor her. But when Meta Graham came down ffom the city in all the glittering armor of her golden-haired beauty, ? rosc-and-snow complexion and dimpled v 7 smiles, Miss Georgiana saw at once that her cause was lost. Frank Elleslie deserted basely to the enemy at the very first flutter of those irrestistible banners of youth and beauty; but Georgiana secretly resolved that if she could not marry the young lawyer, Meta Graham should not, 'either. "I'll keep my eye on 'em at all events," thought Miss Georgiana, viciously. "The cemetery is as free for f. me to walk in as It is for them." So Miss Tripton hurriedly invested herself in outdoor attire and took the sK crosscut over the fields toward the ? . beautiful rural cemetery, which was , the pride and ornament of all the neighborhood for miles around. "I shall get there first," thought Georgiana; "for, of course, they'll v dawdle along under the shade of the trees and be twice as long as they need ??/*/* mUk eontL IU. J.

I'll listen to all their nonsense, and I'll write such an account of it to my Uncle Graham that my young lady will find herself recalled home the very first she knows. Of course, they'll go to the Livingdale monument?there is a green bench there and an arbor of sweet honey* suckle, and I can hide just beyond-" Miss Tripton smiled grimly to herself as she mentally surveyed this program of battle against true love, and pretty little Meta Graham, whose only tangible offense was youth and beauty. But when was the dragon in the fairy talfs ever known to spare the brighteyed princess just because her eyes were bright and her face pure oval? The sprays of white and buff-blossomed honeysuckle were waving softly about in the delicious summer air as Miss Tripton stole into the green glade where the exquisitely carved statue that surmounted the Livingdale monument kept its still watch in the liquid gold and ^odorous sweetness of the on??h;nn Tf Tr-oe? i mnphlo trihuto tn OUJJdiilUC* JL t UO U iUUii/iv %-wthe memory of a girl -who had died young, and -whose features were supposed to be perpetuated in the graceful lines of the statue. But .iust now Miss Georgiana Tripton had neither time nor attention to waste on gleaming marble or exquisite outline. Just beyond, a grim old granite vault seemed to hide itself in the side slope of a hill, with its iron gate swinging idly to and fro at the will of the wind. Georgiana stole into this vault, shrinking beneath its damp, sepulchral shadows, as the sound of footsteps on the green turf beyond, and the ringing sound of Meta Graham's laughter, betokened the near approach of the young lovers. "A cankered old maid!" pronouneeii Mr. Frank Elleslie, not without em phasis. "So she thinks it very wrong <Bf you to walk with me, does she' ESERVE. OUTHOUT SMITH.

"But she isn't to blame for being so old and so yellow, and so disagreeable, Frank. She can't help it," pleaded Meta, with an innocent toleration, which made Georgiana Tripton's fingers quiver to box ber pretty little pink ears. "She cannot help being so ill-tem perea ana Tenomous, I suppose? JBut come, Meta dear, don't let us waste our precious time talking about such an old vinegar cruet as she is. Sit down here in the shade of those fragrant honeysuckles, and let us enjoy the sweet air and the bird-songs." "Oh!" cried Meta,*with a slight start, "what clanging noise was that?" "Only the gate of yonder gray old vault swinging in the wind." Meta *ooked earnestly toward it. "Oh, Frank, I am sure I sa-r something more back there in the shadows!" "Nonsense, Meta! what could possibly be there but the dead bones of some ancient Dutch burgomaster?" And Meta could not but join in the merry laugh at her own childish folly and forget it. They sat there some ten minutes, watching the sun go down into the river below, in a red panoply of brightness and to Miss Georgiana's intense disaDDOilltmPnt. Sflvinir nnf- ft -crnrrt nf lovesick sentiment, such as she had longed and expected to hear; then they rose up and strolled away down one of the broad graveled paths that led to the eastern gates of the cemetery. "Poh!" thought Miss TriptoD, discontentedly. "That wasn't worth listening to." But'as she essayed to unlatch and open the iron vault gate, she discovered, to her dismay, that it was fast. Some unsee or unsuspected catch in the iron mechanism of the gate had caged her safely in the recesses of the dismal old vault. In vain she shook the fastenings? the stone and iron were too firmly welded together to admit of any tampering with their rivets. "Dear, dear!" thought Miss Georgians, beginning to tremble all over with a sense of the very disagreeable position in which she had placed herself. "What shall I do? They can't have gone far. I'll scream." < She lifted up her voice, in a feminine scream?"Help! je-e-lp!" But only the rustling of the leaves and the piping of the summer insects replied. She screamed again, this time at the very top of her voice; still no answer. And then Mjss Georgians, forgetting all her strong-mindedness and selfpraise, sank down all in a heap in the corner of the vault and began to cry piteously. "It's growing darker every minuter' she whispered, "and I shall have to stay he?e all night, with the ghosts and the spiders, and the horrid, horrid dead men's bones. All night! and tomorrow is Sunday, and the cemetery gates will be locked, and who knows but I shall die wi+li fright and hunger' before I can get out of this hideous place. Oh, dear, dear! I'll never, never listed again! I'll let Meta marry whom she likes, and never interfere, if only I get alive out of this dismal vault. Why did I come here? Why couldn't I have minded my own business? Old Aunt Polly Parkes always said I should come to grief prying into other people's affairs, and her words have become gospel?true at last!" And once more, in a paroxysm of despair, Miss Georgiana raised her voice and wailed aloud for help. Meta Graham, who was pausing at a little wayside fountain-, where a crystal-clear stream of water bubbled into a marble basin, whose edge was nearly, hidden in blossiming water-flags and aquatic plants, stopped to listen with the tin cup <i't her lips. "Frank!" she said, gravely, "I certainly do hear something!" "So do I!" said Mr. Elleslie. "I hear the water dripping into the fountain, and the sound of the wind rushing through the treetops, and two blackbirds singing in the hedges!" "But I hear a human voice crying out for help!" "Nonsense!" Meta pursed up her lips and nodded her head. "Listen for yourself. Frank!" she urged. "Hark! there it is again!" l) "Well, it does sound like a voice," - admitted Mr. Elleslie. "Shall we go : back? Perhaps some one has lost his ! way in ilie winding paths, or," and his eyes twinkled ^J^^v3osly]^^some ghost is crying out for its freedom!" "Oh, Frank, don't talk so!" pleaded Meta, clinging nervously to his arm. ? "Let us go buck at once, and see what it means!" And a few monutes only had elapsed ' before Frank and Meta had retraced their steps to the green glade where the marble statue gleamed faintly through the darkening twilight, and tlie honeysuckles airrusea meir neavy fragrance on the air. "Why!'' ejaculated Meta, "it is Cousin Georgy peering out from behind the iron bars like a -wild beast in a cage." "How on earth came you here. Miss TriptOQ!" rather unceremoniously demanded Mr. Elleslie; and Georgiana, well frightened for her duplicity, confessed the truth. Frank burst out laughing?Meta drew herself up. flushed and indignant. "Under the circumstances." she said. "I can hardly pity your involuntary captivity as much as 1 might otherwise do!" Hut I'll never do such a thing again if you'll only let me out this time," pleaded Georgiana. And Mr. Elleslie went for the gatekeeper and the keys, and before another lialf hour had elapsed Georgiana Tripton was safe at home, in the companionship of red lavender, valerain and smelling salts, fhe was hysterical for a week afterward, hut she dogged the footsteps of the young lovers no longer! "It was as bad as being buried alive," she faltered, whenever?which was not often?she could bring herself to allude to the adventure in the cemetery. "And to think I never heard anything worth listening to, after all!"?New York Weekly. Increase the Cost of Living. The proposition favored by the alleged reformers who hare so viciously attacked the proprietary medicine business is that all family medicines shall be put under the ban of the law, and that no medicine shall be taken except on the prescription and that no one save a physician possessing certain qualifications as to diploma, etc., shall prescribe. It is easy to see where this would affect the manufacturer, but the effect there would be insignificant as compared with the increase it would make in the cost of living of a large number of people. Nearly fifty-three per cent, of the. families recorded in the last Federal census lived outside or incorporated towns. They rely on "home remedies". to an extent known only to those who, are. actually residing in rural districts or who have lived outside of the towns. To do away with "patent" medicines would be to the rural fifty-three per cent, not only a hardship, but would actually endanger health. : The rural fifty-three per cent, are not the only ones to be affected, however. Of. the 15,964.000 families recorded in the last census thirtythree per cent, had annual incomes of $400 or less. The average number of persons to a family was five, so that a third of the families had incomes of $80, or less, per individual, per year.- v a*.; > . To compel every one to throw-away their home remedies and employ a physician for each ailment of every member of the family would be adding expense unnecessarily and increasing fliat pnrpnnn/1 +lio nrnH lUC UllliLUlUCj IUUI ounvuuv* WV ?* lems of life. Only twenty per cent, of the 15,964,000 families in the United States had incomes of more than $1200 annually for an average of five persons, only five per cent, had incomes of over $3000 per family. At a conservative estimate ninety-five per cent, of the people have "patent" medicines handy, for instant use when needed. This ninety-five per cent, eeuld, if it desired, discard "patent" medicines without passage of laws and would do so but for one reason. That is that "patent" medicines are well known to them as reliable remedies, which no household cou'.d be without and which have cured the ailments of three generations of American people. A Football Dilemma. The village football eteven was about to begin in the great match of the season with a rival team. Just before the game was timed to begin, the captain of the liome team appeared with a worried look and' dejectedly counted the spectators. They consisted of two farmer boys, a militiaman, and the local chimney-sweep. He counted them over twice, but failed to make any more of them. As both teams took the field the home captain exclaimed: "There won't be no match to-day. We scratch." "Wot are you \alkin' about?" said the opposition captain. "You can't scratch now!" ? ?*- 1?- ? +V,linnio " \V 6 Y6 got itr, lcpucu ij-ic uuuiv captain, dolefully; "we ain't took enough gate money to get the ball out o' pawn."?Harper's Weekly. The Paul Bearer. Rear Admiral Sigsbee and General Horace " PoKAr, ex-ambassador - to i raiice, .who were the prominent figures in the recent removal of the body of John Paul Jones to Annapolis, met in. New York the other evening at a dinner given by the Loyal Legion. Admiral Sigsbee in concluding his speech discounted his part in the :emoval of the naval hero's body. "No credit belongs to me," he said. "I simply brought his body across the sea in my battleship. General Porter had the great task of finding the body." "He is right," said General Porter, jumping to his feet. "I was the Paul finder; Admiral Sigsbee was the pallbearer." They forgave him the pun. ? New York Tribune. I '* ' ?

Child Mangled by Train. I An accident occurred cn the Blue Ridge railroad near Anderson a few days ago as the passenger train was i nearine the city. Engineer Ramey i 1 Hughes saw a little boy on the track just in front of the engine. He reversed the engine, but it was too near the child and could not be stopped.

There are special conditions that must be observed in the contest, but ncne that cannot easily be met by the farmers who heretofore have evinced a great interest in these cash prizes offered, by several banks of Spartanburg. ., : . . * * i Death Claims Representative Moses.

The fatate supreme court is deterj mined to find out "what's doing" in those alleged private letters and othi er papers which Big Chief Beer Dis- * penser James S. Farnum of Charleston on advice of counsel, had removed from his dispensary No. 12. in Charleston, beyond the reach of the dispensary investigating commission to another state, and to this end has passed an order requiring him to produce them before the court. The order is without precedence as to any question of law or fact in the case, as Mr. Farnum's attorney has said that he would lie in jail for contempt and rot there before he would . produce the papers. The case went to the supreme | court on such refusal of the investij gating commission's order and the . ' court is called upon to pass upon the j legality of the resolution creating the j I commission.. 1.1 i .. i ? -I * <. . Successful Gridiron Season. , South Carolina ended upher foot- { ball season very creditably. The supporters of the garnet and black are ' all very well satisfied with the result ' of the season's work. It is true that ^ the eleven lost one or two games, but when one compares the weight and experience of those teams to the Carolina team it is marvelous that 1 Carolina held them down to the final : scores. V. P. I. only won by a score . of 34 to 0, and though this might ( seem a rather large score, still it will 1 compare favorably to the scores of 1 other teams that V. P. I. played. 3 The team had its usual slump near 1 the last of the season and came very near losing a game by poor playing, iZSifr ' * - ' - - ... yi. . .but in the Thanksgiving game the whole team showed a lot of spirit and - very man played a fine game. The score of 47 to 0 will show this, especially so when it is remembered hat the citadel held the strong Welch Neck team down to a score of 6 to o ?. week or two before. "JIM CROW" A BUGABOO. : Separate Coach Laws Menace Rail- J road Rate Measure. A Washington special says: The ob jectlons that were maae 10 me n.scuTownsend bill of last winter on the 1 ground that it would confer upon the ' interstate commerce commission pow- ] er to prescribe regulations-for the in- ' terstate transportation of passengers [1 that would nullify the separate coach i laws of the southern states In so far: ' as they are applied to passengers , holding tickets which entitle them ' to continuous transportation across \ state lines can be urged still more effectively against the bill that has been ' presented to the senate committee by the interstate commerce commission. The separate coach laws are, of course, only effective" within the bor- J ders of the several states, but as all ; of the southern states have them, and ' as the railways have cheefully co-op- 1 erated to assist in carrying out their spirit as well as their letter, up to t the present time it has been practi- ' cable under them. The supreme court of the United States has refused to r interfere with this control of inter- j state transportation on the express , ' ground that it is a matter for the ! regulation of congress and that con- ' gress has not acted. .

If the <5 stock of the Central were* sold by f :he reorganization committee! which ^ stiil holds it, he said, he as president t the Southern would demand the i proceeds of such sale, for while t :he laws of Georgia may forbid the < Southern's holding and controlling t Lhat stock, they do not forbid its hold- I ng cash.
