COI’YIUOIIT, 1900, IIV ANSA KATHARINE ORECN. CHAPTER vn. A CHOICE BETWEEN WEDLOCK AND THE GALLOWS. “Wait a moment. I must speak to you.” It was Amabel who was holding Frederick back. She had caught him by the arm as he was about leaving the room with Ids father, and he felt himself obliged to stop and listen. “I start for Spriuglield today,” she announced. “I have another relative there living at the house. When shall I have the pleasure of seeing you iu my new home?” “Never.” It was said regretfully and yet with a certain brusqueness occa sioned perhaps by overexcited feeling. “Hard as it is for me to sny it, Ama bel, It Is but just for me to tell you that after our parting here today we will meet only as strangers. Friendship between us would be mockery, and any closer relationship has become Impos sible.” It bad cost him an immense effort to say these words, and he expected, fond ly expected, I must admit, to sec her color change and her head droop. But Instead of this she looked at him stead ily for a moment, then slipped her hand down bis arm till she reached his palm, which she pressed with sudden warmth, drawing him into the room as she did so and shutting the door behind them. He was speechless, for she nev er had looked so handsome or so glow ing. Instead of showing depression or humiliation even she confronted him with a smile more dangerous than any display of grief could have been, for It contained what it bad hitherto lacked, positive and Irresistible admiration. Her words were equally dangerous. “1 kiss your hand, as the Spaniards say.” And she almost did so, with u bend of her head which Just allowed him to catch a glimpse of two startling dimples. He was astounded. He thought he knew this woman well, hut at this mo ment she was as incomprehensible to bim as if he had never made a study of her caprices and ever shifting expres sions. “I am sensible of the honor,” said he, “hut hardly understand how 1 have earned it.” Still that Incomprehensible look of admiration continued to Illumine her fare. “I did not know I could ever think so well of you,” she declared. “If you do not take care, 1 shall end by loving you some day.” “Ah,” he ejaculated, his face con tracting with sudden pain, “your love, then, is but a potentiality! Very well, Amabel, keep It so and you will be spared much misery. As for me, wbo have not been as wise as you”— “Frederick!” She had come so near he did uot have the strength to finish. Her face, with its indefinable charm, was raised to his, as she dropped these words one by one from her lips In lin gering cadence, “Frederick—do you love me, then, so very much?” lie was angry; possibly because he felt his resolution falling him. “You know!” he hotly began, stepping back. Then with a sudden burst of feeling that was almost like prayer he re sumed: “Do uot tempt me, Amabel. 1 have trouble enough without lament ing the failure of my first steadfast purpose.” “Ah,” she said, stopping where she was, but drawing him toward her by every witchery of which her mobile features were capable, “your generous Impulse has strengthened into a pur pose, has It? Well, I’m not worth It. Frederick.” More and more astounded, under standing her less than ever, but charm ed by looks that would have moved an anehorlte, be turned bis bead away In a vain attempt to escape an influence that was so rapidly undermining bis determination. She saw the movement, recognized the weakness It bespoke, and In the triumph of her heart allowed a low laugh to escape her. Her voice, as I have before said, was uumuslcal though effective, but her laugh was deliciously sweet, especially when It was restrained to a mere rip ple, ns uow. “You will come to Springfield soon,” she avowed, slipping from before him so ns to leave tbo way to the door open. “Amabel!” His voice was strangely husky, and the Involuntary opening and shutting of his hands revealed the emotion under which he was laboring. “Do you love me? You have acknowl edged It now and then, but always as If you did not mean It. Now you ac knowledge that you may some day and this time ns If you did mean It. What Is the truthf Tell me without coquet ry or dissembling, for I am In dead ear nest, and”— He paused, choked and turned toward the window, where but a few minutes before he had taken that solemn oath. The remembrance of It seemed to come back with the movement Flushing with a new agi tation, he wheeled upon her sharply. “No, no," he prayed; “say nothing. If you swore you did not love me, I should not believe It, and If you swore that you did I should only find It hard er to repeat what must again be said, that a union between us can never take place. 1 have given my solemn prom ise to”— “Well, well! Why do you stop? Am I so hard to talk to that the words will not leave your lips?” ”1 have promised my father I will never marry you. He feels that he has grounds of complaint against you, and ns I owe him everything”— He stopped, amazed. Hhe was look- 1 lug at him Intently, that same low laugh still on her lips. ’Tell the truth," she whispered. “I know to what extent you consider your father's wishes. You think you ought not to marry after what took place last night. Frederick, I like you for this evidence of consideration on your part, but (hi not struggle too relentlessly with your conscience. I can forgive much more In you than you think, and if you really love mo”— - “Ptpp! Unt u# uoder'tfrBd HCJ) j)Ui- tr." TTe luiT tin tu n moiTiuTy pnTe ami met her eyes with something akin to alarm. "What do you allude to In speaking of last night? 1 did not know there was anything said by us In our talk together”— “I do not allude to our talk.” "Or—or in the one dance we had”— “Frederick, a dance is innocent.” The word seemed to strike bhn with the force of a blow. “Innocent,” he repeated, “Innocent.” becoming paler still as the full weight of her meaning broke gradually upon him. “I followed you into town,” she whis pered, coming closer and breathing the words into Ids ear. “But what I saw you do there will not keep me from obeying you if you say: ‘Follow me wherever I go, Amabel. Henceforth our lives are one.’ ” “My God!” It was all he said, but it seemed to create a gulf between them, lu the si lence that followed the evil spirit la tent beneath her beauty began to make Itself evident even lu the smile which no longer called Into view the dimples which belong to guileless mirth, while upon Ids face after the first paralyzing effect of her words had passed there appeared an expression of manly re sistance that betrayed a virtue which as yet had never appeared In his selfish and altogether reckless life. That this was more than a passing Impulse he presently made evident by lifting his hand and pushing her slow ly back. “1 do not know what you saw me do,” said he, “hut whatever it was It can make no difference In our rela tions.” Her whisper, which had been but a breath before, became scarcely audi ble. “1 did not pause at the gate you en tered,” she said. “I went In after you.” A gasp of irresistible feeling escaped him. but he did uot take his eyes from her face. “It was a long time before you came out.” she went on, “but before that time the shade of a certain window was thrust aside and”— "Hush!” be commanded, in uncon trollable passion, pressing his hand with Impulsive energy against her mouth. “Not another word of that or I shall forget you are a woman or that I have ever loved you.” Her eyes, which were all she had re maining to plead with, took on a pecul iar look of quiet salisfuctlou and pow er. Seeing It, he lot Ills band fall and for the first time began to regard her with anything but a lover’s eyes. “I was the ouly person In sight at that time,” she continued. “You have nothing to fear from the world at large.” “Fear?" The word made Its own echo. She had no need to emphasize it even by a smile. But she watched him as It sunk Into his consciousness with an lutentness It took all his strength to sustain. Suddenly her bearing and ex pression changed. The few remains of sweetness lu her face vanished, and even the allurement which often lasts when the sweetness Is gone disappear ed In the energy which now took pos session of her whole threatening and inflexible personality. “Marry me,” she cried, “or I will proclaim you to be the murderer of Agatha Webb!” She had seen tliu death of love In his eyes. CHAPTER VTII. THE HOLLOW TREE. Frederick Sutherland was a man of finer mental balance than ho himself perhaps had ever realized. After the first few moments of stupefaction fol lowing the astounding alternative which had been given hbn be broke out with the last sentence she probably expected to hear. “What do you hope from a marriage with me that to attain your wishes you thus sacrifice every womanly Instinct?” She met him on his own ground. “What do I hope?” She actually glowed with the force of her secret de sire. “Can you ask a poor girl like me, born In a tenement house, but with tastes and ambitions such as are usual ly only given to those who can gratify them? I want to be the rich Mr. Suth erland’s daughter, acknowledged or un acknowledged the wife of one who can enter any house In Boston as an equal. With a position like that 1 can rise to anything. 1 feel that l have the natu ral power and aptitude. 1 have felt it> since 1 was n small child.” > “And for that”— he begaft. "And for that,” she broke In, “I am quite willing to overlook any dark spot on your record. Confident that you will never repeat the risk of lust night, L am ready to share the burden of your secret through life. If you treat me well, 1 am sure 1 can make It light for you.” With a quick flush an increase of self assertion she had probably not an ticipated, be faced her with a desper ate resolution that showed how hand some he could be If bis soul once got control of his body. “Woman,” he cried, “they were right. You are little less than a devil.” Did she regard It us a compliment? Her smile would seem to say so. “A devil that understands men,” she answered with that slow dip of her dimples that made her smile so danger ous. “You will not hesitate long over this matter; a week perhaps.” ”1 shall not hesitate at all. Seeing ’ou as you are makes my course easy. You will never share any burden with me as my wife.” Still she was not abashed. “It lu a pity.” she whispered. “It would have saved you such unnecessa ry struggle. But a week Is not long to wait. 1 am certain of you then. This day week at 12 o’clock, Frederick.” He seized her by the arm and, lost to everything but his rage, shook her with a desperate hand. “Do you mean It?” he cried, a sudden horror showing itself lu his face, not- (wlthutandlng his efforts to conceal It. “I mean It so much,” she assured him, “that before I came homo Just now I paid a visit to the copse over the way. A certain hollow tree where you and I have held more than one tryst conceals within Its depths a pack age containing over $1,000. Frederick, I hold your life lu my bands.” The grasp with which he held her re- A mortal despair settled upon l.is features, and recognizing the im possibility of further concealing the ef fect of her words upon him, he sank In to u chair and covered his face with h!u hands. Hhe viewed him with au air o' iflumph, whU't) brought back some ( of her beauty. “When she spoke, 11 wa's to sny: “If you wish to join me In Springfield before the time 1 have set, well and good. 1 am willing that the time of out separation should be shortened, but It must, uot he lengthened by so much as u day. Now, if you will excuse me, I will go and pack my trunks.” He shuddered. Her voice seemed to cut through him like a kuife. Drawing herself no, she looked down on him with a strange mixture of pas sion and elation. “You need fear no indiscretion on my part so long as our armistice lasts,” said she. “No one can drag the truth from in ■ while any hone remains of your doing your duty by uie in the way I have suggested.” And still he did not move. “Frederick.” Was It her voice that wns thus mur muring his name? Can the tiger snarl one moment and coo the next? "Frederick, I have u final word to say, a last farewell. Up to this hour I have endured your attentions, or, let us say, accepted them, for I always found you handsome and agreeable, if ^ Woman, they were right; you arc little less than a tievil,” not the master of my heart. T»ut now, uow It Is love that I feel, love. And love with me Is no fancy, but a pas sion. Do you bear? A passion which will make life a heaven or hell for the man who has Inspired It. You should have thought of this when you opposed me.” And with a look In which was blend ed something of the light and dark ness of the two alternatives she had promised him she bent am! imprinted a kiss upon bis forehead. The next moment she was gone. Or so lie thought. But when, after an Interval of nameless recoil, he rose and attempted to stagger from the place, he discovered that she had been detained lu the hall by two or three men who had just come In by the front door. “Is this Miss Page?” they were ask ing. “Yes, I am Mins Page—Amabel Page,” she replied, with suave polite ness. “If you have any business with me, state It quickly, for I am about to leave town.” “That is what we wish to prevent,” declared a tall, thin young man who seemed to take the lend. “Until the Inouest has boon held over the remains of Mrs. Webb, Coroner Talbot wishes you to regard yourself as *i possible witness.” "Me?” she cried, with an admirable gesture of surprise and a wide opening of her brown eyes, that made her look like an astonished child. “What have I got to do with it?” “You pointed out a certain snot of blood on the grass, and—well, the coro ner’s orders have to be obeyed, miss. You cannot leave the town without running the risk of arrest.” “Then I will stay in It,” she wmiled. “I have no liking for arrests,” and the glint of her eye rested for a moment ou Frederick. “Mr. Sutherland,” she con tinued as that gentleman appeared at the dining room door, “1 shall have to Impose upon your hospitality for a few days longer. These men here Inform me that my Innocent Interest In point ing out to you that spot of blood on Mrs. Webb’s lawn has awakened some curiosity and that 1 am wanted us a witness by flie coroner." Mr. Sutherland with a quick stride lessened the distance between himself and these unwelcome intruders. “The coroner’s wishes are paramount just now,” said he, but the look bo gave his son was not soon forgotten by the spec tators.

ColummA, August (J.—Tno average temperature during the week ending 8 a.m., Monday, August 5*h, was about normal, with a maximum of 102 at Tillers Ferry, and u minimum of 04 at Gheruw and Spartanburg. There was nearly the normal amount of sunshine. Beneficial and quite general rains occurred over portions of the central and lower Savannah valley and ad jacent counties, and there were widely scattered showers over the remainder of the State, some of which were heavy and were accompanied by damaging hail, in narrow paths, in Fairfield, Richland, Sumter Orange burg, Florence, Kershaw and Marion counties. There were also damaging high winds at a few points. A general rain is needed, especially for young corn that in places is suffering from lack of moi&ture. Cotton continues to improve and looks healthy, but generally remains small, is late; and has very few grown bolls. A few localities report the plants growing too much to weed and not fruiting well, although generally cotton is moderately well fruited. A little^ shedding is report ed, and some fields are infested with lice and rust. On light sandy soils growth has stopped and the plants are blooming to the top. Sea-island is doing well, but is dwarfed and late. Corn barely held its previous week’s condition, except that in places young corn made some improve ment, and in others lias deteriorated for want of moisture. A worm known ns the corn stalk-borer is doing much damagn over the south eastern and central counties. Fod der is being stripped from old corn. Tobacco cutting and curing still progressing favorably, and is near ing completion in localities. The early crop is poor, hut late tobacco is doing well, except that worms are numerous. Rice looks promising and is head ing. Sweet potatoes are the most promising of all the minor crops; the earliest are about ready to market. Home white potatoes are being plant ed. Some peus have been cut for forage; peas are poor in places and fine in others. Turnips being sown. Reaches are worthless in many places, and generally rotting exten sively. Apples continue to drop. Much hay being gathered along the coast and from river bottoms. Tea and coffee plants are very promising I’nrxoiittD. A New ItiiHlncHH. Mr. George G. Byers, formerly of !
