The People's Journal PICKENS S. C. F"ift y-Ninie... Theodore and I hadI been tralpiiig about lalifax all day. We had pulled our feet fromi the asphalt pavements for the sun was hot; we had toiled to the wiud.slapped citadel, and gazed at Dartmouth, gleam1in1g white across the water, and watched the seething foam in the far haze at the harbor entrance. We had sneered at the gowns of the women, and had been stared at by the nonkey-clad privates. We had praye(l in the dusk of St. Mary's, and driven through the gardens, and oven out the Bedford Basin road for a few miles. I had dragged 'T'heodore to moth-eaten shops and boul-ht vile candy and acted generally in what Theodore calls my i Amerilan girl" m1anne'. There was a touch of the spring-time weariness Upon mIe when wce got back to the Halifax liouse, with spare time in which to dre-, lor dinner. It was early in May, mnCh too soon for the tourists, and every person, not a Troy to their linger tips, was spotted in the hotel. That is the reason that Ted and 1, when we Wtent into the dining room were imme.iiatt-iy taken over to a table where ahreatly two people sat waiting for their dinner. The girl was an American. That. nucl --and 110 more--I knew. ''he man- Now, Theodore had 'o)me to Canaula on busi ness, and I hua at oilpalied himln in the hope of meeting the very man, who sat talking in his u it uticing style, to an titter stranger, not live feet away. I had meant to be so :,rentle with Tom Merrill when I met hi, for the last time 1 hal seen him, I had refused, with great haughtiness, to ac'onpaniy him, as a loving wife antI helpmate, to this end of the world. After six months of abject misery, though I was quite willing-- -to have himli ask me agaim. It gave mhe an unreasonable pang to see how well be looked and I put on my most di'nitied air as he pre sented the girl, whose highly interest ing conversation had been broken uponl by our entrance. I loathed that gill before 1 met her. I knew, before she opened her lips, 1 that she would talk through her nose -and she did. 'he was a native of I some mountain village in 1'ensyivauia I and her reason for leinlg so far from home was- -business. In a few min- I utes wo had her history, and knew i that she was a bookkeeper in the Inost I up-to-date hardware shop in IIalifax. She had met Tom on one of his trips to Halifax, antd seemed to know him very well ie l'ed. At least, she called him "Tom," and looked at him as though he belonged to her, aiit acted altogether disgracefully. "Tom and I were just tdiscussing the suicide,'' said Miss Reynolds as we began our soup. " You have heard of it, of course"' "Ni)," 1 rephed untr'uthfully, I knew all about it. but I wan teditolhear her talk sime more. There was a wild faiscination foi'rme iln listening to her ra.seng A' and awful i's. T1om Merrt'., Now Y ciker to the core, niever wince. H Ea had indeed comforted himise.'.

It' a uLpposedl to be haunted now.' " It must have iinnei'ved you. Were you here when she dlied?" asked Thieo dore, with the first glow of interest ho had displayed. .Dear old chicken. Hie never bothers with-some girls. "1 0, dear niol" said Miss Reynolds. "1I was at the ollico, and indeed, I had my room changed at once. I couldn't bear to be near the place. In fact, I couldnr't sleep at all in my room." It was nothing except a spiteful de sire to beat the girl, to dlo sometinig she was afraid to do that made me re ply like a boastful child: " I abouldn't' be afraid to sleep in number 59. 1 think L'll have my things moved to night.' Tom Merrill raised his eyebrows, and looked at me steadily for a mo ment. I saw by3 Teddie's expression that he was plainly aware of my in tention, and also aware of his incom patibIlity to cope with his adored and very much spoiled sister. " Well," at last, I enqjuired, as Tom still staredl at me, " do you think I'm afraid, Mr. Merrgl?" " No,'' said that youiig man slowly, and with emphasis. " I don't think you are." Miss Re~ynolds looked her supreme acorn and unbelief. "111(deed, it's all very well to talk that way," she saidi " but when it comes down to the thing, I'm quite sure you would baek down. There Isn't any woman I know who has nerve enough to sleep in No. 69." " Oh," I rippled out quite Sweetly, " but you see you don't know me,. or any of any friends. Wouldn't Bletty Parker or T'ill Bliss just give theor 'very souls for this chance, Theodore?" " Margaret," ' replied Ted, and knew he wanted to be strict. He al ways tries to be when he forgets t< to call nme Peg, " I don't like you t< talk this way. You haven't any idea I hope, of carrying out this absurd scheme?" Now, I might have given up the idea, but just at that moment Miss Iteynol(s, who had apparently forgot ten that we were there looked down at Tom's hand, idly crumbling bread crumbs on the white cloth, and archly said : " I must have my ring, Tom. All my luck has flown to the winds since 1 gave it to you. I botched half a dozen things today." I must be heathen at. heart, for I felt, at that moment, exactly like tak ing my lish knife, and slowly sawing that wretched girl's throat with it. But, instead, 1 dimpled amid replied, with my best grade of coax, " 'Tiddle wink, please have my things sent over to No. 5I. That's where I'm going to sleep tonight." And then I looked at Tom Merrill, sitting across the table, with a girl's ring on his linger. labI but he had grown cotmmon in his tastes since 1 had denied hin, a wife. I won der if he knew what miy eyes said? Miss Reynolds laughed outright when she heard ily order. "(11iou can't make mile believe that you will go into that suicide's room, with its hor rible associations and sleep tonight. You'll get out of it some way or other. You brave, high-spirited girls always do in the end. I'<d much rather tell the truth and be safe." ''om and Teddie saw some humor in her remark, and Ton added insult to injury by quietly suggesting that there was probably a secret passage built for adventurous American beauties. And then Toni and 'fed talked of the steel industry, and Tom asked m1e about the girls at tiome, and I utterly refused to be enticed into giving him my of the thousand and one delight ful messages that had been sent, to lomn. Miss Iteynol(s and I finished Air dinner ill polite Cuommonplaces, while she took in every detail of my ostutme. She had been im Jlalifax 'our months, and her neck fixings amid .he way she wore her hair showed it. As we passed out of the (ining-room t'heodore asked me if I really meant vhat I said. Alise Rleynolds laughed loubtingly, and , heard ''om say to ler: ''1 can't believe that she his erve enough to do it. (ee whiz- - 'tnd the li he stopped, for I was watch dim straight and level, with blazing yes. I icked a piece of lint. fromt miy gray kirt, before I replied to Theodore: I am going to sleep in No. . L'eddie Coulson, and you know it, vithout asking me.'' So my things were sent to No. 5,U nd we all tollowed the ~boy, through lie old- fashioned parlor, and the queer i ittle conservatory, and out the long sall, overlooking the harbor. The boy lamimed open the door and threw my >ags down in No. 5i, while 1 stood dly at the low window watching the liekering white eye in the mouth of he ocean. A soft-voiced maid brought is chairs, and we sat at the broad win low in the hall until eleven o'clock. l:very time that I forgave Tot, and wished that he would come near, and 'all ime Peg, the light wouild glhnt oin lint hateful little ring, and somnethiing m my) soul1 wouldl shut with a click. 1 was drowsily weary~ wh'Ien I at last. ihut, the doo of' the hi.aunted roonm t11)0n three faces* one crful,n Lenderly solicitions, and one full of luimb pleading. But the hland( which ield open1 the dloor for a last glance vas muarredl by a good band. How I iated that girl I Number 50) was a match for he heavy, 01(d silver in the dining-rooml he qjuaint, carvedh furniture in the >arlor, and those weirdl works of art udorning the mantels. A ponderous valnut bed stoodin one11 coi ner of the 'oomn. At the side was a smiall ire lace, now clean and brushed of the oll-tale a4hes. Over b)y tile window, vbere the gray light from the sea utruggledl through in the early dawni tood a huge bureau. I went and1( ooked at myself in tihe glass. And ,hen a horrid fear crept upon01 me. tin ler my feet stretched a great rug, miuchi too large for the room, ando pushed0( imder the legs of the bed t.o get rid of the extra corners. I did not dlare look Linder t,he rug! Instead of my own race, young and heavy-eyed wit,h sleep I seemed to see the wretched ::ountenance of another woman, alone, md sinking t.o an agonized death by her own hand. I mnovedl from the spot. If the mirror hadl helped ini the doing of the evil deed(, th e rug was guilty of' hidimg tihe dark stains. I remiember thinking of everything in a hazy way. I was very unhappy, but fell asleep at my prayers, and finally chimbed into the great bed, to slide through three thousand miles of heavy, stohdo slumber. It was early in the morning when 1 awoke. Too early for the dawn t,o show. It Was raining, too, and the windl howled about tIhe corners of the roof, like an enormous man who was ill. It was a small soundo that brought me cloar-minded, and keen-earedt to my senises. A gurgling slop, 8101), some1 thing thick like blood. Weirdl and bumbhng, the noise grew nearer. Then sU(ldlen, uncanny, horrible, I heard my heart boats in twos and threes-wit,h startling jumps. My hair si,ood on endl, my hbody laid lhelpl1ess in the great. lbed. For t,here, moving in that tiny room with me-was something! Some thing white andl long andl lean, commng nearer and nearer wit,h a beast,ly 8101), slop, gurgle and bubble of b)l00d. 1 remember of wondering why there was so much blood in a bullet wound. God in heaven! the thing was coming to ward me. It fumbled with the covers, striving to. turn them uip from the bottom. Livid fear held me, tongue tied andl trembling, to the bed. And then something in me broke at the sound of the figure's voice. (Clear and golden, English all over, .came the beautiful modulated tones: " Dear me, but I have had the trouble this night. My feet like ice, and never a bit of hot water. This water :will never get them back to their prqe tte, I have a mind to rne, the y'prietor." I sat bolt upright with a serbamn of laughter. The old lady, for such she was, turned a ghastly face, upon me. sheer. horror tied-he1r t,ongue thiat had but a moment gone been so ilmber. " Do you know where you are?" said I, "You are in 190. 59.' I shall never forget her face. The principles of a lifetime were forgotten.

W'itl a terrible screech she was gone (owl the hall, spreading her fright like dis ease through the hotel. I moved it the bed and the gurgle again fell upon my ears. I picked up a lukewarm gun water bottle and I was still howlin,< and hugging that awful instrument of torture when Theodore and Ton Merrill burst into my room. I havt always tokti Tomw 811nce that he actuall~ patted mne on the back that night and called me "darling," while he was at t,ired in a bat,h robe and1( pajamias, anit I in a most fetching nightdress, cover. e(1, ala-, with a blanket. I couldn't make them understand. They wanted to soothe me, and quiet my nerves, tu anid thiose two idliots of men aotnally ap)illeI a half pint of good Overholt before I could get anything into their heads. They might have known that it was i huge joke instead of hysterics, through I never, never told how that mistaken old Englishwoman hid really scare me into a lit. At last, aided by my faith ful water bottle, I got the story out and was left alone. But not before 'T'om had whispered: " You'll have to marry me the first thing in the morning, m1y Peggy, love, to save my reputation." And that's why I went to sleep the second time that n1iht the happiest Lirl in the world, amd the sunishiny Iawn of my wedding (lay streamed Lhrough the broad window of No. 59.

You see me here today, my brethring, dressed up in good clothes; you mout think I was proud, but, I am not proud, my brethring, and although I have been a preacher of the gospel for twenty years, an' although I'm capt'in of the flat boat that lies at your landing, I'm not proud, my brethring, ah. I am not gwine to tell edzactly whar mly text may be found; sullice it, t.o say it is in the leds of the Bible, and you'll Iiul it somlewhere between the first chaptet of the book of Generations, and the last chapter of the book of Itevolutions, and of you will go and search the Scriptures; you'll not only find my tex thar, but a great many other texes as will do you good t1 read, and my tex, when you shall limd it, you shall find it to read thus, al: " And he played on a harp of a thou sand strings---sperits of jest muen made perfeck." My tex, my brethei ing, leads me to speak of sperits. Now, thar's a great many kinds of sperits in the world-in the fuss place, thar's the sperits some folks call ghosts, and thar's the Sperits of terpentine, and thmr's the sperits as some folks call liquor, and I've got as good an artikel of them kind of sperits on my flat boat as ever was foch down the Mississippi river; but. thar's a great many other kin(is of sperits, for the Lex says: " lie played on a harp of a t-h-o xi-s-and strings, sperits of jest men made perfeck." And thar's a great many kinds of fire in the world. .In the fuss place thar's the common sort of fire, and then there's foxlire, and camphire, fire before you are ready and fire and fall back and many other kinds uv lire, for the tex says, " lie played on the harp of a thou sand strings, sperits of jest men made perfeck." But I'll tell you the kind of fire as is spoken of in the Bible, my brethring, is loiel l"ire! and that's the kind of lire as i great many of you'll come to of you don't do loot.tter ner what you have been doin'-- -for " lie pla ed on a harp of a thousand strings, sperits uv jest men made p?rfeck." And that's the kind of fire you can't dodge, my brethring, al, for it's the fire that won't he quenched. You may fly to the mountains of IIepsidam, where the woodbine twineth and the lion roareth and the whangadoodle mourneth for its first born, but, you can't hide from the unsquenchable fire, for it is the lire of hell andl damnation, all I "1 And he played on a iiuerp of a thousand strings.---sp(rits of jeMt, ml mi madle per feck."

Far in the interior of the latter country, where European plants have not penetrated, he foun id the scales and also the ladybugs, which keep the scales in subjection and permit the native plants to flourish. Mr. Marlatt started home with a good supply of these ladybugs, but only sixteen sur vived on arrival in this country, and lourteen of them subsequently died. 1'he two remaining, however, were nursetd carefully by the government, with.a view to lighting the ccale ;n the mine manner as in China.
