BLOOD ON TIIK GRASS.

unlocked, and. secondly, that the con
stable had been among the first to
come In. so that he could vouch that
no disarrangement had been made In
the rooms with the exception of
Batsy’s removal to the bed.
Then, his attention being drawn to
the dead woman, he discovered the
key In her tightly closed hand.
“Where does this key belong?" he
asked.
They showed him the drawers in the
cupboard. •
“One is empty,” said Mr. Sutherland.
“If the other is found to be In the
same condition, then her money has
been taken. That key she bolds should
open both these drawers.”
“Then let It be made use of at once.
It is imitortant that we should know
whether theft has been eomi^t^b^j-"
ISr’Y/iH ft? handed If to Mr. Fenton.
The constable immediately unlocked
the drawer and brought It and Its con
tents to the table.
“No money here,” said he.
‘But papers as good as money,” au-
notuced the doctor. “See, here are

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

then another, and, satisfied that the
money had been put Into some recepta

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

(,lt {^liat do you find there?” cried Mr.
Sutherland, whose eyesight was not
good.
“Blood,” responded the coroner,
plucking up n blade of grass and sur
veying It closely.
“Blood.” echoed Miss Page, with so
suggestive a glance that Mr. Suther
land stared at her in amazement, not
understanding tils own emotion.
“How are you able to discern a stain
so nearly Imperceptible?” asked the
coroner.
“Imperceptible? 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. Abel,” he called to
the man at the gate, “bring a bo* or
barrel here and cover un B P° t - l
don’t want \t .Met...-***' by trampling
- —* lU * Jury I shall socm call shall
have had an opportunity to look at it”
Abel started to obey Just as the
young girl laid her hand on the gate to
open it.
“Won’t you help me?” she asked.
“The crowd is so great they won’t let
me through.”
“Won’t they?” The words came from
without. "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

The man called Abel smiled, took o
the flower and went to cover up the
grass as Dr. Talbot had requested. 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. Ho was that one of

He paused, drew bimVlf from his fa

will henceforth act as lf$shc were still

There was strange intensity In his
manner. Mr. SutherlandDegarded him
*lth amazement. He hu^ seen him In
every mood natural to a feckless man,
hut never in so serious a one, never
with a look of awe or purpose In his
face. 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. Fa

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

Edgefield, Greenwood. Saluda, Lau

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

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

Early corn is ripening rapidly, and
