Collec tions a specialty the crack of the sitting room door walking toward the fireplace cupboard with a huge roll of bills In her hand; that listening she heard her say: ‘Just fifteen hundred! Too much money by far to have in the house.’ After which she heard first one lock turned and then another, and, satisfied that the money had been put Into some recepta cle In the cupboard, she crept out as quietly os she had come In and ran away to tell the neighbors. Happily 1 was the first one she told, but 1 have no doubt that In apltc of all my Injunc tions she has related the news to every one who would listen.” “Was the young woman I see down yonder at the table with you when Judy told this story?” asked the coro ner, pointing toward the yard. Mr. Sutherland pondered. “1 not think she was.

It Is the only thing I sec In tbo whole yard,” she retorted, and with a slight bow which was not without Its element of mockery she turned toward the gate. “A most unaccountable girl,” com mented the doctor. “But she is right about these stains.

"Just slip out as I slip In, and you’ll find a place made for you.” Not recognizing the voice, she hesi tated for a momen\ but seeing the gate swaying, she pus ed against it Just as a young man stej iied through the gap. Necessarily they came face to face. “Ah, It is you. ’ he muttered, giving her a sharp glanje. “I do not knew you,” she haughtily declared, and lipping by him with such dexterity ie was out of the gate before he could respond. But he only snapped his finger and thumb mockingly at ber and smiled knowingly at Abel, who had lingered to watch the end of tills euc muter. “Supple as a willow twig, eh,” he laughed. “Well, I have made whistles out of willows before now and-halloo! where did you get that?” He was pointing to a rare flower that hung limp and faded from Abel’s but tonhole. ‘This? Oh, I found It In the bouse yonder. It was lying on the floor of the Inner room, almost under Batsy’s skirts. Curious sort of flower. I won der where she got It?” The Intruder betrayed at once an un accountable emotion. There was a strange glitter Wo. *ia\*ier uneasily on his feet “Was that before the pret ty minx you have Just let out came in h*re with Mr. Sutherland?” "Oh yes; l>efore any one had started for the hill at all. Why. what has this young lady got to do with a flower dropped by Batsy?” “She? Nothing. Only—and I have never given you bad advice, Abel don’t let that thing hang any longer from your buttonhole.

The stranger took his place at the gate to ward which the coroner and Mr. Suth erland were now advancing with an air which showed his groat auxlety to speak with them.

"I’Alerick!” he cried, “my Freder ick!” “Do \)t make me too much asham ed,” manured the youth, very pale and stran^ol; discomposed. “With no excuse fo» mj past, I suffer Intolera ble apprehension In regard to my fu ture, lest my good iutentious should fall or my self control not bold out But the knowleda» that you are ac quainted with tnyVesolve and regard It with an undcserVd sympathy may suffice to sustain mAand 1 should cer tainly be a base polVoon if I should disappoint you or hervwlce.” He paused, drew bimVlf from his fa ther’s arms and gluneedjfilmost solemn ly out of the window, h swear that I will henceforth act as lf$shc were still alive and watching me.” There was strange intensity In his manner.

It gave him quite i new idea of Frederick. “Yes,” the young man went on, rais ing his rtuht hand, but not removing his eyes from the distant prospect on which they were fixed; “i swear that I will henceforth do nothing to discredit her memory. Outwardly and Inwardly I will act ns though her eye was still upon me and she could again suffer grief at my failure or thrill at my suc cess.” A portrait of Mrs. Sutherland paint ed when Frederick was a lad of 1U hung within a few feet of him as he spoke. He did not glance at it, but Mr. Sutherland did and with a look as If he expected to behold u responsive light beam from those pathetic features. “She loved you very dearly,” was the slow r and earnest comment. "We have both loved you much more deeply than you have ever seemed to realize, Fred erick.” “I believe it,” responded the young man, turning with an expression of calm resolve to meet his father’s eye. “As proof that I am no longer insensi ble to your affection I have made up my mind to forego for your sake one of the dearest wishes of my heart.

Columbia, July K0.—During the weekending 8 a. rn., Monday, July 29th, the temperature was very equable and averaged slightly above the normal, with a maximum for the week 102 degrees at Allendale, and a minimum of l»7 degrees at Greenville. There was sufficient sunshine for the needs of growing vegetation. There were scattered showers early in the week, and quite general ones on the 2Gth, the latter occurring where most needed, but the rainfall was below the normal, and in por tions of Anderson, Pickens,Abbeville, Edgefield, Greenwood. Saluda, Lau rens, Lexington, Richland, Fairfield, Orangeburg, Berkeley aud Williams burg counties the showers were light and partial, but over limited locali ties only are crops suffering seriously for want o/ moisture. Hail occurred at u number of points, hut did no material damage. High winds blew down corn, and injured tobacco at a few points. Cotton improved steadily through out the State, and in most places is fruiting well, especially on stiff, clayey or red lands, while on white or sandy lands the improvement is less pronounced. Most cotton re mains small and late, but is green and growing. Some li-dds aro still grassy. Lice art* reported from a few localities, but have done no great damage. Caterpillars infest cotton in Orangeburg county. Open bolls are reported from Hampton county. Sea-island is in good condition, with the exception of blight in spots. Laying by cotton is nearing comple tion. Early corn is ripening rapidly, and Is without any material change from itr previously reported poor con dition. Late corn looks more promis ing. with marked improvement during the week. Stubble corn needs rain in corn - nras uben planted recently in Lexington county. Tobacco cutting and curing made rapid progress, and is nearing com pletion In some sections. The crop is extremely poor in places, but late tobacco is still growing. High w did some injury.
