Rosalie looked back as the (fay new
carriage from the railroad town rolled
away from the old mill. Bright tears
were in lie.- eyes and a worried look In
bee face. The parting hail been a hard
one. Uer mother had gone into the mill
to cry alone, Colonel Chenier and Ade
laide stood near the broken stone wall
striving to look cheerful. There was
the moK.»y big wheel, dripping and cool
The mulberry tree was dusky with its
mature June foliage. A genuine sooth- ,
em drowsiness was in the air. On the
line of mountains In the west some
slanting clond lines rested, half con- .
coaled in a fine gray blue haze. As the j
mill receded with the going of the car-!
riage Rosalie felt as if the world itself
were quietly withdrawing She felt
also a dizziness, as if she were soaring J
away into distance Her father and!
sister seemed to waver and fade out
from her vision The little Valley drew
its lines together, shriveled and dry. .
After a few crooked miles along the!
stream their road suddenly turned j
Uildly into the foothills, and soon began
zigzagging its way up the mountain to
ward which they had lieen going
At a stony hlnff where a spring gushed
out. the driver stopped to water ins
horses in an old mossy bucket, or rather
a ono-bandied piggin. All around the
wood was dense and silent. It was a
lonely spot where one might imagine
robbers lying in wait. But the gray
lizards were the only lurking things dis-
'•overed? A crested vireo now and then
sent its shrill note through the silence.
“I shall lss glad when we are once in
the car and well started," said Aunt Mar
guerite. looking doubtfully about and
sighing as one who is bored.
Rosalie did not respond. She watched
the horses drink, with long hissing sips,
the [sire cold water, her eyes full of
quivering tears.
A sharp clacking on the stony road
above them announced the coming of
one who soon appeared around the first
short turn It was young Ellis on his
superb gray steed He rode directly to
tiie carriage, where lie drew rein, and
lifting his broad bat, bowed to bis sad
die pommel.
"(IihmI morning," lie said, then glanced
inquiringly from Aunt Marguerite to
Rosalie and back again, an unpleasant
look of suspicion beginning to cloud bis
face. “Yon look like travelers. 1 hope
yon dou't mean to desert the mill. Miss
Chenier?"
“I am going home with Aunt Margue
rite," she replied, her voice shaking a
little.
Ellis compressed his lips and stroked
his horse's mane. There was a knot of
wrinkles between his eyebrows
“You don't mean to stay long. I hope? 1
he rejoined, fixing bis eyes searching!}'
niKin her and measuring her graceful
figure, so perfectly shown by the gray
traveling dress.
The driver had remounted to his seat,
but sat respectfully waiting for the con
versation to end.
“I don't know how long I may stay,"
she half sobbed: “annt wants me to stay
always.’’
"Always!" he echoed.
“She is to be my daughter from this
time on," said Marguerite Chenier Roose
velt, coldly and decidedly, as if to end
the matter at once. “ Drive on." she add
ed to the colored boy.
Ellis lifted his hat again, bnt there was
a terrible look in his eyes as they scowled
at the old lady.
The carriage proceeded.
“(ioodby—-remember me,*' he said to
Rosalie. His voice reached her ear softly,
sweetly, and his words caught in her
memory and lingered like some bit of a
sweet, sad tune.
“(Ioodby—remember me," she quav
ered back to him, and then a great hum
ming filled her ears and her heartseemed
to stand still.
When they drove into the village
where Mr. Roosevelt was to meet them
with his isrivate car, it was faron toward
noon. The etrtets were almost deserted,
and the naw white buildings, erected
amid the debris of the old town Slier
man had destroyed, glared fiercely in the
sunlight.
Mr. Roosevelt's ear had Jnat arrived,
and Mr Roosevelt himself promptly
came to greet them—a tall, gray man
with the hawklike face of a Jew, and
the bearing of an old time southern
gentleman. He took Rosalie's hand and
held it caressingly as he offered some
warm, informal salutary phrases, his
voice winningly cordial in its gravity
and depth. He harried them into the
car, one of those sumptuous structures
which our railroad magnates affect
where he held a quiet interview aside
with Mrs. Roosevelt
“To Chicago!” exclaimed Annt Mar
guerite in response to his first sentence.
“Yes," he added, “yes, to meet a rep
resentative of the Dntch bondholders
and my coodjntors in Chicago. It will
be a pleasant trip for yon and Mies
Chenier.''
Aunt Marguerite lifted her vinaigrette
ana renqctea Here was a swin turn in
her affairs.
“How long Shall yon be there?’ she
preeently inquired.
“1 cannot gay, possibly a month, or
even two months." replied Mr K.-we
velt "bnt in any event it will be pleas
ant Ye* ’hav* never seen the great
west Chicago is a wonderful city, and
tiie way from here to there lies through
a channing country—the great prairies
and all that."
“Oh. there's no argument," replied
Aunt Margnerite, hslf ruefnlly, “if yon
must go we must go too. and there's the
end of it" '
It thrilled Rosalie when the train
began to move. It was tier first ex
perience in railroad travel Through
the window she saw the houses of the.
little town slipping away to the rear. A
current of cool air came in and momenta
rily strengthened.
Mr Roosevelt sat down by her and
gradually drew her into conversation as
they went clattering along between the
sweet dnsky summer hills
An exhilaration took possession of her.
All traces of her recent tears disappeared.
Her cheeks glowed and tier eyes took on
ttieir wonted depth and clearness with an
added intensity which was not lost on
this strong, healthy old man.
“Tin t's a charming girl. Marguerite.”
he said to his wife,when the opportunity
offered; "it does cue goo<l to la; near her.
Site's like some i-nre blossom or—or--
or something See what a profile and
what hair, and then that half wild grace
and that incomparable air of innocencel"
"How yon ravo!" exclaimed Aunt Mar
guerite; but she was greatly pleased that
her husband should like Rosalie.
The young girl was a few feet away,
still utterly absorbed in watching the
changing landscape as it fled past
It was long after nightfall when they
reached Chicago. Mr. Roosevelt had tele
graphed for rooms at one of the great
hotels, whither they were driven through
the broad streets, amid bewildering
lights and in a hoarse conflict of sounds.
The air from the lake had a most decided
chill in it It was as if they had sud
denly reached the true north. Over
head. the thin, high clouds seemed to
scud across the great black blue abysms
of sky into which no starlight could
penetrate. Rosalie hail grown “sed to
kudden changes, and this last only served
to impress tier with the vast distance
which now lay between her and the
drowsy little mountain valley, where,
in the dear old mill, father, mother and
sister were at this moment talking of
her She could hardly wait until she
got into a room with Aunt Marguerite
to cover her face and cry.
Next morning she and Mr. Roosevelt
took breakfast together in the great
crowded dining room, but they had a
small table quite to tbemfclves. Rosalie
found it very amusing to watch all those
people from behind the morning newspa
per that Mr Roosevelt had given her.
Only a few women could be seen, and
most them were ready with hats and
wraps to continue their journeys, being
mere transient stoppers The men were,
as a rule, well dressed, well fed looking
persons, apparently in a great hurry,
and each on good terms with bis neigh
bor. They all ate rapidly, some of them
dividing their attention between their
beefsteak and their newspapers, taking
a monthful and a paragrapli alternately
Rosalie quickly noticed that Mr. Rouse
velt was the object of much attention
from many persons in the room, and in
glancing through Hie newspaper she
found the following;
“Mr Auguste Roosevelt, the great
southern railroad king, is in the city,
stopping at the Grand Pacific. He lias
with him his wife and daughter."
She smiled delightedly, thinking how
this would please Aunt Marguerite, who
had not come down, but had ordered her
coffee served in her room. She did not
for a moment suspect that she herself
was an object of much more attraction
for the masculine eyes in that room
than Mr. Roosevelt, though it was plain
enough to every one else that she was.
Her freshness and beauty of face, her un
consciousness of self, the lithe grace of
her figure, which Colonel Chenier nsed
to say was svelte despite its plumpness,
her rare gray eyes and pale gold hair,
the perfect poise of her rather large head,
all were emphasized in their effect by the
combination of gray and blue in her ele
gant morning dress, and by the inde
scribable something which was not
timidity nor yet baslifnlness, but a sort
of birdlike shyness, as if on the slightest
provocation she might fly away.
A rumor of her beauty spread at once
with that mysterious rapidity which we
all have wondered at. That evening at
the opera all the glasses were leveled
upon the Roosevelt box, and many lips
murmured praise of the “beautiful young
heiress from Georgia.”
Rosalie was so absorbed in following
the story on the stage and in listening to
the ravishing contralto voice of Cary,
that she was wholly unconscious of all
rise around her. She had never tiefore
been In a theater. All this color and
light and music, this passion, the row
above row of elegantly dr eased people, the
scenic splendors, the atmosphere, the
perspective, gave her that exhilaration
which one might feel who is suddenly
transported into a paradise.
At length, In the distance, she saw
some one who looked like Prank Ellis,
and for a time all the garish show of the
theater disappeared. She was in the
dark grove by the wayside spring. The
wind was soughing in the pine tops, and
tiie crows were cawking as they flew
across the valley. She saw the jagged
worm fences inclosing the patches of
wheat and corn. She even imagined a
waft of the pungent fragrance of sas
safras and liquid amber. The young,
daring cavalier of the "pocket" sat on
his charger, his dark eyes looking almost
fiercely into hers, his swarthy face show
ing an nuderglow of passion. She saw
his broad sombrero, his belt and pistols,
his heavy boots ami cruel spurs. A
thrill ran over her, half a pain nud half
a delight. A blush, like the color of a
pink peach bloom, gathered in her cheeks
and lips.
“(ioodby—remember me,' < she heard
him tenderly say as lie bent low in his
saddle. His voice, as she Imagined it,
was sweeter than Cary’s. She breathed
a breath of the mountain air; tiie tender
pastoral influenoe of tiie little valley
crept over her Suddenly the banjo!
The thought was like a chord of runic
■minds, loyal to tiie pure simplicity of
tiie old mill life
‘Ah la mantlore, la mandore!” she
murmured in the tongue her father so
loved.
•Did you speak, dear?" said Annt
Marguerite. laying her hand lightly on
her arm
Rosalie came back to herself so
promptly and thoroughly tliat her wan
dering was not detected.
“It was a mere meaningless exclama
tion." she replied. “There's so much to
see here. It confuses mo, and the sing
ing hat charm.*! me too—it is grind."
" What a healt liy, vigorous set of people
these western folk seem to be!" raid Mr.
Roosevelt. “You can scarcely wo a
fragile form or a pinched face in all this
company."
•The women are stout and rosy, nearly
ail of them, »(id tiie men are so heavy
tiwbed and broad shouldered.*' added
Aunt Marguerite, "it gives an idea of
avoirdupois to look the audtei.ee over.

“It doesn't lunch ressmhle a southern
sudience," said Mr. RooseYrit: ’‘more
gravity and less dignity."
"Bnt these are happy, slnft — looking
fares," replied Aunt Marguerite, “and
the ladies dress In charming taste."
'So it seems to me.” said Rosalie, gnd
she qniokly added, “everything is really
delightful. I think 1 should like to live
here, only”—with a quick little sigh—
“the 'pocket' and thedearold mill Would
be all the time calling me back tothem."

"My Wtft will bo gtsd to meet you. f
know she will,’ he had said after Mr
R.Kjeevelt hail Introdnoed him to Mrs
Roosevelt snd Rosalie, and lie had talked
with them for an hour in his peculiar,
offhand, hearty way; "and I shall have
her fetch round the carriage and take
you out driving. You most see Chicago.
Mrs Largely will be delighted.’
There was a homeliness and sincerity
in all this which struck Marguerite
Chenier Rooeevelt as something al-

Bnt when a strong, sympathetic voice,
in res]«inse to a recall, sang the “Old
Folks at Home,’ Rosalie felt some hot
tears running down her cheeks, and in
her heart the longing for her mother's
kiss snd her father's tender good night
overcame every other desire.

‘Krs, / won one of Sherman's boys. ”
As the days of their stay in Chicago
slipped by. Annt Marguerite and Rosa
lie grew more interested in studying the
phases of life exhibited in that wonder
ful metropolis of the west. Nothing
could lie loss like what either of them
had l>cen accustomed to
As for Rosalie, so long as she could
forget the old mill and its household
and environment, everything she saw or
heard or rend charmed her She drank
this new, practical, aggressive stream of
knowledge with a thirsty eagerness
Even the details of Mr Roosevelt's rail
mail schemes, as she heard them dis-
cessed lietwcen him and a certain short,
stout, ruddy man known as Mr Largely
interested her deeply
Tins Mr Largely, who was somewhat
past fifty, had n I rig squarish head and
stubby, grizzled beard. He dressed well
talked fluently bnt ungrammatically,
and wan worth ten million dollars. He
knew nothing but railway facts and for
mulas, bonds, stocks, receiverships, float
ing debts, earnings, franchises, landed
donations and voted aids, first mortgages,
consolidations, pools and all the rest.
He seemed to be quite fascinated with
certain comprehensive propositions Mr
Roosevelt had submitted. These prop
ositions seemed promising, they certainly
appeared quite safe, but Mr. Largely
Rosalie noticed, always ended by say
ing, “When Edgar Jnhan comes ID
submit it to him. i always consult him
Never saw a man of his age who had
such a clear bead. He's always right 1
expect him back from New York at any
moment now Had a letter from him
tliis morning, stating that he had about
closed things up there. We'll wait till
he cornea”
Mr. Roosevelt, who very much desired
an early consummation of his schemes,
diil not especially relish this waiting for
the coming of Edgar Julian, railroad at
torney. whose dallying in New York
was prolonging his absence from the
south, but there was no way except to
wait Mr. Largely would agree to noth
ing else.
“1 can’t trust myself.” he would say,
‘in a matter of snch intricate legal
complications, without having Julian's
opinion. This railroad litigation lias so
many dangers. It may be necessary to
send him to Enreqie before the question
wo are investigating can be altogether
settled. He'll know when he comes.”
Every conference had this kind of end
ing All the points would be carefully
discussed, the bearing of each detail
noted, and the inevitable conclusion
reached that the plan was feasible, bnt
Edgar Julian must decide the matter
before any of Mr. Largely’smoney could
be counted on or his influence secured
“This Mr. Edgar Julian mnst be a
wonderful man." Mr. Roosevelt said one
day to Mrs. Roosevelt and Rosalie, after
Mr. Largely had gone away “I shall
be glad when be condescends to return
from New York." His voice had a touch
of vexation in it. As for himself, be had
never been in the habit of waiting for
another man to decide upon what he pro
posed. "1 suppose that if he should
chance to lake it into his legal head to
doubt the strength of any link in my
chain of plans, my negotiations here
would luive to cease, and those foreign
capitalists would at once scoop up those
lines of road.’’ He added this half aside,
and more ns if thinking aloud, than with
any intention of making himself heard.
"And who is Edgar Julian?" Inquired
Rosalie, f-* **»»» » wata xaajai
“He is a young lawyerwho has tamed
his attention specially to railroad litiga
tion, and has been so successful that he
is looked upon tvs a phenomenon here in
Chicago,” replied Mr. Roosevelt “No
doubt," ho continued, half apologetically,
“he is a shrewd fellow, or, as they say
here, a long headed fellow, with a genius
for enormous fees."
“Getting money," aaid Rosalie, her
pretty head tnrned reflectively to one
side, “seems to lie the whole of life to
the people up here."
“Yon forget how eagerly they spend
it, dear," said Aunt Marguerite. “Their
extravagance Is folly equal to their love
of gain."
“Oh, I like It, 1 like It," exclaimed
Rosalie. “There is something powerfully
fascinating in all this rush end dealt I
feel as if 1 had just emerged from the
chrysalis slate. My eyes see the world
for the first time.*
“Yon are going to he ea enormous
butterfly soon,” said Mr. Roosevelt,
laughing quietly as he ran his eyes over
the girl's graceful form, now attired in
pure white, with striking dashes of bine
here and there.
“Bnt 1 shall be a very tame sort of
butterfly amid all these gar ones here,’"
she aaid with a radiant smile. “It would
be truer to call me a bee I am going to
work, search for the honey of knowledge.
I am so—so crude and fanlty, so incom
plete."
Mrs. Roosevelt looked riiarply at her
niece, os if surprised at something in her
tone bnt said nothing
About this time Mrs. Largely, wife of
tliat a southern man would have chosen
to inlrodnce his wife to strangers; but it
seemed not a had way after all—the very
best way in fact.
It was a delightful drive; the hour
passed like a moment to Rosalie. Mrs
Largely's talk was just of the kind the
girl's mind hungered for, full of bright
pictures of society and spiced with
fashion gossip, running off now and then
to dip into the last new novel or maga
zine sensation; dropping wise little say
ings here and there: in fart, filling every
moment with something or other which
afforded Rosalie the very clearest and
truest glimpses of a life which always
fascinates the young girl who has been
reared in seclusion.
When their drive was ended Mr. Large
ly met them at the ladies' entrance of the
hotel. He was holding the arm of a tall,
heavy limbed, square shouldered young j
man, who lifted his hat and bowed to
Mrs. Largely, at the same time flashing
upon Rosalie his gray blueeyee from un
der their heavy brows.
"That's Edgar Julian, the famous!
young railroad lawyer," whispered Mrs. j
Largely in Rosalie’s ear as the latter was
leaving the carriage.
Edgar Julian was what is called out
west a ‘‘fine looking" man, which phrase 1
is usually meant to iw descriptive of a
large figure and a liberal, magnetic face.
His light red-auburn hair was brushed
back from a forehead which, on account
of great fullness at the eyebrows, ap
peared quite retreating. His jaws were
broad ami firmly set; his chin, square
and accentuated by a central dimple or
depression, was almost encircled by the
long crescent ends of his tan colored mus
tache. His mouth was rather wide, with
thin lips, and his noae was slightly aqui
line. He bore himself as one well aware
of his strength and well content with hia
environment.
A day or two later Mr. Edgar Jnhan
was introduced to her.
“You are from Georgia. I believe. Miss
Chenier." he said, giving the perfect
French pronunciation of her name, and
fixing his fine deepset eyes steadily upon
her.
“Yes, sir," she replied.
•Georgia is a grand old state, full of
lovely scenes." he said in a generalizing
tone, “especially in its northern counties.
Such lovely little towns it has too—Dal
ton Calhoun. Kingston, Marietta and
Rome. I remember them well."
Rosalie started a little when he named
Calhoun.
“Yon have been in Georgia?" she hail
inquired, a little flush warming her
cheeks
“Yes, I was one of Sherman's boys,’
he replied.
She recoiled from him with a move
ment that he quickly interpreted. He
smiled, his handsome face, unmasked
for the moment, gleaming with a boy's
delight in teasing the girl
"1 stole chickens all through that
country," he added.
“Most of you did," she quickly re
torted
He langhed.
“Yes," lie said, “we were a sad lot
and I was as bad as any. But it's all
over now and the hatchet's buried."
"May I change the subject?" he con
tinued, ns if shaking something off hia
mind "1 should like to know what yon
think of the north."
“I think it is delightful," she frankly
said, and then went on lightly discuss
ing many things which lately had
grown to be of great Interest to her.
Annt Marguerite had sat by during
this conversation, ostensibly busy with
something else, and when he was gone
she said:
“That man will achieve a great deal if
he lives and can keep from becoming
unscrupulous.”
(To be continued.)
An Ancicint Hot Hath.
Remains of ancient hot air baths or
sweat houses still exist on tiie island of
Rathliu, on the northeast coast of County
Antrim. Ireland The Rev. D. B. Mul-
cahy describes one be visited on tlio farm
of Widow McCurdy, in the townland of
Rnockans. Mrs. McCurdy said she had
used it fifty years ago. mid tliat it had
been used by the islanders from time im
memorial. A heap of ashes lay outside
the doorway showing it had formerly
been heated by a fire.
Mrs. McCurdy said further that pre
vious to a bath a fire was kindled inside,
and when it was sufficiently heated the
ashes were swept out. The people came
to be cured of rheumatism. There was a
bole at the top to let out the smoke and
admit light. A stool or a scraw on the
floor was nsed to sit on or stand upon in a
stooping posture.—Philadelphia Ledger.

HeAlth of *he Survivor* of the War.
While the health of some men have
been improved by their military service
during the war, even to the preservation
of lives that would have been lost had
the owners remained exclusively in civil
life, the health of the average veteran
has been deteriorated by his service, and
that he suffers more from illness and has
a aomeivhat less expectation of life than
other men of his age. This conclusion,
George Eliot says: “The man
who trusts a friend educates
him.” But the truster often
gets the most experimental
knowledge.—Columbus Post.
Malaria and Broken-Down Constitution
Waycross, Ga.
Dr. W. H. Whitehead:
Dear Sir—At your request I
will state my case. Some years
ago I contracted malaria in its
most violent form while living
at Newark, N. J. I consulted
various physicians and took
numberless preparations recom
mended as “sure cures,” but it
stuck to me like a brother—or
more like a mother-in-law. I
finally came South, and while
here tried new remedies, said to
always cure malaria, and it still
stuck to me, and you know the
broken-down condition I was in
when I came to your P. P. P.
(Prickly Ash, Poke Boot and
Potassium), and I improved rap
idly, and am to-day in as good
health as I ever was—in fact
better. As a remedy fora brok-
endown constitution it has no
equal. Yours, etc.,
