The Laurens Advertiser. $1.00 per Year in Advance. A tall man in light rain coat and a neutral-tinted girl climbed t?o steps of a red*sloue mansiou. The house look ed to be untenautod. The halls echoed with unfurnished nudity as tho two en tered. They walked familiarly into an oblong room, which was as barren aB the hall, with the oxception that it contained a small imitation mahogany table and two uncortain chatrs. The girl laughed half hysterically as she removed her hat and sat down, rosting both elbows on tho table. *? Our don of thieves seems remark ably lit this ovening, dear. It chimos in with my mood. Perhaps it's bo cauBe this is the last titno." The man stared moodily at tho white wall. " So you mean what you say; you aro going to quit?" Tho girl wout rather white and nod ded her head. " It's tho only thing we can do; you must eco that. I can't live this way, with turbulent quarrels and teinpestuouH reconciliations. I can't do it. It's hotter to end it?bet ter for both of us. You couldn't mako things right, and somohow 1 scorn to have developed a conscience of lato." The man tapped a call boll on tho table and a duninutivo Chinaman am bled through tho opon door. The man and the woman ordored chop sooy and tea. " See hero, Halbe, I can't stand this." Tho man's face was smooth and boyish, but it was liued with emotion as ho spoke. m I can't live without you. Think of all we havo boon to each othor for two * years. Why did I loavo all tho Bet I knew and take the flat with our little red parlor, if it wasn't to seo more of you? Do you remombor our Sunday luncheons when you would corao out early and mako thoso wonderful dishes on our little gas stove? You couldn't reach up to faston tho tubos on the gas jet, and 1 always had to l^ft you-" " Yes," she interrupted, eagorly, " and how clumsy you were and how you used to crumple my clean shirt waist. And do you remombor when old Eben, the jauitor, would come in with tho beer, ho would stop and talk when wo woro dying for him to go? How mauy pirates did he say he had killed with one shot?forty?" They both laughed. " Yos, and that night you thought you were going to be ilred from the paper and wanted a 'scoop'; how we had burglars m the building and wont out and treated the policoman on tho beat so he would swear to it? Have you got tho oflicial belt buckle that he gave you? Ah, but those were good old days! Hallic, how can you forget them?" All enthusiasm died from her face as his words brought hor back to the present. She sat up very straight. ?* At flrst," she said slowly, *? I just loved you and never thought of any thing else. I went ou and on, and gradually I couldu't seo my future. Always before I thought I would be something of a writer. But after you came I always seemed to seo you in stead of success. Perhaps if I had bo longed to some one, you would not have filled evory crevice as you did; but I didn't, you know. There wasn't a soul who cared, unless it was the people to whom I paid my board. And thon after a while-God, can't you see? You went on telling rae that, you loved mo and couldu't live without mo, but still you did not say a word about ?about making things right. And all the time I know that no one could love you as I loved you. And yet that awful dread began to come over mo of the ultimate woman?the woman you must meet some day." " Hallie, child, he broke out impot uously, " it isn't my fault. I swoar it isn't. You don't understand." " Oh, yes," she sighed wearily, " I do understand and that is what gives mo tho strength to break with you." The little, one-sided Chinaman brought in the chop scoy and lighted a single gas jet, which spluttered from the wind blowing through a broken pane in the window. The interruption in some occult way seemed to place them out of sympathy. The girl's voice took ou a serious tone. The man grew impatient. "I have an engagement at H o'clock," she said suddenly. ?? We must be going. Besides we gain nothing by talking things over." They walked to the car. !? This is the first time you have ever left me this way," he said, as they stood on the corner awaiting the approaching tram. " Who is the man?" " One of my ciaft, tho new dramatic editor from New York." " Oh, I see, and he is the cause of your new departure?" " Perhaps." "I wishyou prosperity, Miss Doyle. This is jour car, I believe. Shall 1 ride down town with you?" He was always most punctilious when about to lose his temper. *? No, Carl, it is better to part now. Good-bye, good?bye, Carl." She reached out her hand half pleadingly; her resolution was wavoriug. If ho had spoken hor name then she would have turned back; but man like, he remembered only her reforence to the other man. Ernest Bheicard, the now dramatic editor, was an iron gray man well in his forties. His hair was sprinkled as if to match his eyes, which were steady and uncommunicative, like two Tittle pools of water. He was very sure of himself. He had met Hallie Doyle but twice when he determined that she wan the woman he had long pictured, the woman for him I He told her this that night between the flrst and second acls of " L'Alglon." ? " I want you to bo my wife, my com rade," he said in his low, even voice. " I had never expected to marry unloss I fonnd a woman whom I thought could bo both to me and until I met you that seemed donbtful. I believe I appreciate you. You have been cast ing yonr pearls before swine; have been associated with thoso unworthy of yon. I shall make it my ono study, next to my profession, to bring out what is great In you. I know that you care for me and I only want yonr as surance." She tnrned the leaves of her program and her mouth twitched convulsively. So he knew she cared for him. Such is roan. " You understand there was some one eise??" she began, " I care nothing for what has boen. Whatever process has made you what {ou are must have boen a good ono. always know ?vhat I want, and I want you. Will you bo my wifo, Hallie?" ' ' * "Yes," she said, looking him straight in the eyes. In hot heart the namu of Carl rang insistently. This mau beside her, mentally ac? complishcd, good to look upon, and with the dignity of high thought, was asking her to bo his wife; and yet with the perversouoBS of fate, sho knew that alt the joy of living had gone with bur farewell to the other man. Sho com pared tho two as Bhe sal l he re iu ibe theatre. Cnrl Sauuders, tho idler, uu disciplined and spoiled. Extravagant of time and goods, and carried away by bis over ready sympathy, he ewuug through lite easily, heedless of deeper problems of living. When didiculiies confronted him he was f raukly and helplessly puzzled. It was this boyish incompuleucy which ap pealed to the maturuul instinct of wo mou. Ilallio Doylo realized bis limita tions and loved him for tbom, at the same time grioving over them. Tho curtain bad Bwung back on the hattlclield scene. A soft hazo huug over tho stage. 44 Yes, it is smoke, I was right," her companion was sayiug. 44 lly jovo, that is peculiar I" Thoro was an uneasy stir through the house. Mademoiselle Socard paus ed aud looked about tier uuccrlainly. 44 What is the muttor," asked ilallio, alarmed. 44 Is there a lire?" As she spoke tbe curtain was sudden ly rung dowu, aud an unmaculato mau iu ovoning dress was addressing tho audiouco assuringiy. There was a slight contlagration back of the stago. The speaker was scarcely heard. Wo men screamed aud somo fainted. Thoro was a rush for tho oxits. Tho smoko begau pouring from the heavy drop curtaiu. Ilallio and Ithoicard woro standing on their cbnirs. 44 It is nothiug serious," ho said, raisiug his voico to bo hesrd above the din. 14 Don't bo alarmed. We will wait until these cattle regain their souses." Ilallio was coughiug with tho smoke, but she was unperturbed by it. 44 llnlhe, I must go behind tho scones. Au interview with Secard at such a time would bo invaluablo. Yon will not be afraid? Just stand quietly whore you are." All this ho was com pelled to shout, for tho confusion bad increased. For a moment the girl looked after hor escort bewildored. Sbo could scarcely realize that he mcaut to leave her alone at such a tune. The aloof ness of the man's muntality appalled bor. 'I hen soiuo oue from behind her jostled aguiii8t her chair, aud sho fell forward, catching the back of the scat in front. Sho crouched there, between the chairs to kcop from being trampled on, and lay very quietly while the place became black with smoke. Presently the noise subsided some what. Her head felt dizzy. Sho -strnightc ned up with ditliculty and peered through the smoke. The placo was quite deserted. Pres ently she saw two men talking excited ly midway up the aisle. Ilallio. slag gored toward them. Simultaneously they saw her, aud both uttered her namo and sprang toward hor. Oue of thorn was Catl. She t-nw him only aud reached out her band to him, calling his name as she hud done that day at tho car. For a moment they clung to each other like children; and igroning the other man, the danger of their sit uation?everything, their lips met, which sealed the sudden reconciliation. The li reman was calling to tbom rough ly. The other mau had disappeared. As they Stepped into a carriage some distance from the lino of engines sur rouuding tho theatre, Ilallio broke the silence for tbe 11 rat time. 44 He was ltbeicard; you wore talk wilh Ernest ltbeicard." 441 found him searching for you as I was doing," said Carl. 44 In heaven's namo how came htm to leave you?" 44 How cumo you to know 1 was in the theatre?" 441 had been watching you from the back of our box all the evening. Hallie, you wore going to marry thai man. I saw it in his faeo and in yours. Tell me, woro you?could you be guilty of that?" She did uot answer. Carl put his head out of the window and gave some directions to the driver. 44 Whore aro we goiug?" sho askod helplessly. Ho drew hor toward him tenderly. 44 To a priest, Hallie. 1 al ways meant it so, only I didn't quite know it. You see I was so satisllcd just to have, you with mo in tho old diys that I did not think it possible that I could lose you. Are you satis fied to go, dear?" Ho reached out and luriied hor face to the light, dropping his hands limply as he did so, with an exclamation half of awe, half adoration; for in that moment the woman camo to a full re alization of the greatness of her love; her face had caught somolhing ol the supernal, and Hie man fell back nhished at it. Mothor?-I supposo yoor fatbe doesn't moan to do it, but be tries my patience very hard at times. Daughter?Oh, I thiuk papa is a pretty good man. Mother?He is, my dear; but it is hard to think that aftor wo have been marriod twenty years ho still oc casionally talks back. GIRL WOMEN. The general standard of measurement for womanhood is "grown-up-ncss." When a girl is emancipated from school and arrives at the dignity of trailing skirts and elaborate hair dressing she is looked upon as a young woman. But nature knows nothing of such statui ards. When the womanly func tion is establish ed womanhood is attained ac cording to her Standard?, a n d there is need of womanly care and caution. It is girlish ignor ance or neglect at this critical timewhich often results in long years of after misery. Mothers who perceive the evi dences of func tional derange ment in young girls should promptly have them begin the use of Dr. Plerce's Favorite Prescription. It establishes reg ularity, tranquili7.es the nerves aud tones up the whole system. "My trouble* Matted during my girlhood," writes MKs Flora I. Oreer, of i?7 Howe Street, Akron, O..

FULL, MEASURE OF THE MAN He Saw Trouble Ahead of Mb People and Preferred to Ke uinin With Thein. At a Confederate reunion held last week iu Rich land County there were several good speeches, including ono from Col. U. H. Brooks, of Columbia, who took occasion to read an unpub lished letter from Gen. Wade Hamp ton, which was written to Gen. ft. E. Lee thirty-six years ago, accompanied by a report of the cavalry operations in Virginia during tho last campaign of Lee's army. Thoso documonts aro of historic valuo and importance, and tho letter shows tho unselfish spirit of tho groat cavalijy leader, Gen. Wade Hampton, and his dovotion to tho people of South Carolina. His let ter is as follows: Columbia, S. C, July 21, 1800. My Dear General: I have just re turned from Mississippi, where 1 have been sinco last Decembor trying to collect tho fragments of my property. During my stay there, I have endeav ured to procure all tho data possible, iu order to propare for you the papor you desired. Most of my old olllcors havo sent mo memorandums or roports, and when Gonls. Fit/, and William Loo give me their roports, which havo been promised, I shall bo prepared to make out a report for you. How long a paper do you desire ? A mere mem orandum giving only actions and dateB , can ho compressed into a very few pages, but to enter into details would pcrhups Oil iifty or sixty manuscript pages. 1 wish to make what I pre pare for you conform entirely to your i purposes and wishes, so I hope that you will not hesitate to let mo know precisely what you would profer. 1 have nothing to do this summer, and it would give me great pleasure to con tribute all in my power to the success of your undertaking. And it will be a pleasure, though a melancholy one, to pay tho last tribute in my power to thoso brave men who stuck to their colors to the last. You must hear iu mind though, my dear general, that 1 am not reconstructed yet, and iu what 1 shall write every word will be dic tated by Southern feelings and come from a Southern heart. " I'll not dis own a singlo pulse-throb, nor a single breath." It has been ono of my pleas antest anticipations that I should have the pleasure of seeing you this summer, and if I can possibly accomplish this purpose you may be sure t?at I shall do so. I trust that you aro getting on well ami that you llnd in tho ad miration expressed for you by all, whose good opinion is worth anything, some compensation for your losses and your sacrifices. Thank God, the Yankees, though they writo history, cannot make the world believe it, and time will provo that you have not fought in vain. I hopo your noble old common wealth is recovering from the deep wounds she received. Could I leave my own poor, desolate, stricken State, I should assuredly make my homo in Virginia, but I cannot forsake a peo ple who have given me so many proofs of their love as these have done. Are your family well? I know how much troubled you must be by letters, and how little time you have to answer them, but if you And lorauro to writo, 1 ahull be most happy to hear from you. This will be my address until October. Gen. Beauregard, who has been offered two positions in the Eu ropean war, one a command of 100, 000 men, has written to offer me the command [of all his cavalry, with the rauk of major general, if ho concludes to accept. But whilst nppreciatiug his confidence, I bavo declined. I shall never draw my sword again except for my own country. I saw Long street in New Orleans and ho spoke much of you. Alexander you know is hero. Pray remember mo to your family. With best wishes lor your happiness and prosperity, I am, my dear goneral, very respectfully and siucerely your friend, Wadk Hampton. General It. E. Leo. Shouxd Water Bk Fkkk.-?The city of Santa Hosa, Cal., has been supplying its. 7,000 inhabitants with water free for the last live yoars and charging tho cost in the tax budget. J. Vt. Keegan, one of its councilmen, is anxious that other cities should fol low Santa llosa's example aud ho gives these reasons for declaring it to bo tho only equitable system of supply: It is moro economical becauso tho cost of accounting and collecting is abolished; it saves the consumor the annoyance of the rate collectors' call ing; it is a strong incentive to beauti flcations of the city, for householders no longer grudge water for lawns and gardens; it is not wasteful because tho consumer never believes that blS pay ment is fixed by his consumption, and it benefits tho very poor and by en couraging them to bo clnanly keops tho community free from disoaso. "The only man who may be i i jured," says the councilman, " is o ie who pays taxes on personal pro, er.y, and-ho is no more injured than by a frto sewor system. If he be a house holder, ho has free water, and if his personal proporly is merchandise which he sells, he can shift the burdon of taxation upon the purchasers and the purchasers of the goods pay the mer chant's taxos, Just as they pay the merchant's clerk hire."

It is learned from an authoritative source, says the New York Journal of Commerce, that tentative arrange ments have been made for placing the $40,000,000 in bonds which the Amer ican Chiua Development Company has been authorised to issuo by impe rial decree of tho Chinese govern ment. These bonds are for the purpose of completing the xailroad between Han kow aud Canton. It will be a mattor of several montliB before tho bonds can he engraved and ready for deliv ery, and it is hardly considered proba ble tbat the transaction involving their sale will bo completed within a year. There is, theroforo, httlo indication of any vory active physical work in tho completion of tho new road uuder tho direct stimulus of the boud issue. It cannot be learned whether the en* tiro issue of bonds will bo taken in this country or whothor Europoau subscription will bo mvited. It is considered probable, however, that tho Issue will havo au international charac ter, as tho board of diroctors of tho Ameiican China Development Com pany has foreign mombors. Tho nec essary funds with which to begiu tho practical work of building tho first soe tion of road wore subscribed by tho .stockholders somo months'ago and wore deposited with .7. P. Morgau ?fc Co. Tho now bonds are a gold issue boar ing interest at tho rate of ? por ceut. aud running for fifty yoars. A highly important feature of the ontorpriso is tho largo amouut of supplies which will bo required. It has boon author itatively Btalod that tho bulk of con tracts for such supplios will be placed In this country, this being tho cheap est market. The railroad is to bo virtually a con tinuation of tbo Du Han line, tho ob jective point of which is Hankow, which has been'' aptly do&crlbed as " tho Chicago of Chiua." Although divided from tho adjoining town of Hanyang by the Han river and from Wu Chaug, which is iho capital of tho province, by the waters of tho Yang I Tso, Hankow constitutes, with its neighboring cities, ono groat center of population, numbering considerably over 2,000,000 souls. Hut whou a rail road has reached Hankow at a distauco of 050 miles from Fekin, it has barely traversed half the breadth of Ctuuu from north to south. It is at this point that tbo American China Dovolopmont Company will take up the work of construction, con tinuing tho road from Hankow, or, properly speaking, from Wu Chang, on the southorn bank of tho Yang Tao southward to Clinton. Connecting with tho Lu Han lino, under construc tion by a Belgian syndicate ami, ap parently, having a friendly under-, standing with tho projectors of that enterprise, the American line will fur nish tho Boufhcra section with a great trunk road extending from the capital to Canton, the groat port on tho China Boa. At Fekin conncctiou will be made with tho Chinese Imperial railway, the northorn arm of which joins with the Manchurian branch of the trans-Sibe rian road from I bo neighborhood of New Chwaug. Direct rail communi cation will thus bo provided between Canton and tho great capitals of Eu rope. The provinces to bo traversed by tbo American lino have a popula tion twice as great as tbat of the United States and are as rich, both in agricultural and in mineral wcullh. Tho products ot an important coal mining region in tho province of I In Nan and other demands of local trallic will require tho construction of branch es which will bring iho total length of line between Hankow and Canton up to about 000 milos. From Canton it is intended to ex tend the lino to n point on the main land opposite Hong Kong, a piece of construction cxlouding ? vur 1,80 miles, which an English synd'cato is under stood to bo ready to undertake. Womkn as PouivritY Raisers.? Women and hens have some traits in common, and from a close observa tion of the feathered fowl an aphoris tic lore has sprung up which tbe un kind mnn uses with au open band when talking to his women folks. How often a short-tempered spouse tells bis wife that sho looks liko n wot ben; that she cackles like a hen; tbat she jumps about liko n hou without hor brood. Those are but a fow of the charges flung at the hoad of tho long suffering wife. Whistling girls and crowing hens have been classed to gether, and where is the irreverent man who docs not call a gathering of women a "ben party?" Perhaps because mcy havo somo slrango sympathetic bonds, or maybe for some occult reason, too deep for man to fathom, women aro and always have been oxtreinely successful in the poultry business! In many households in the suburbs of most Inrgo American cities the woman of tbo house supplies her own table with the fruits of her poultry yard. In not a few cases a good prolit is made by soiling the surplus product to neighbors. It is one of the hoaltbiest fads or oc cupations that a woman can take up.
