'Auuio save a little laugh. How dare 1
she when her very soul \>-as shaken l<y
the violence of her lover's passion. ! '
when, in ihe darkness, she could see (
the sparkles shoot out of the gloom of j
his eyes. She knew that his knit brow I '
was heni close upon her. and his hands 1
were holding hers like a vice. I'.ut '
coquetry was a part of Annie as the j I
foam is part of the waves. .She gloried '
in her power. 1
"The;: there would i:e two dead turn ' 1

The y< ting man recoiled a littl-? r.u- I
der the taunt, as great oak might
move in a avinter stirui. II? laid his
hands on the girl's shoulders and lield ;
her off at arm's long li.
"To love you is to liato you. Annie ;
Bergen, and to hale you is to love you.
and I love you," he said, drawing tier
to him in a tierce embrace.
Suddenly the girl broke down, all her
coquetry was gone, as the foam goes
when the wave breaks and leaves mailing
but little flicks of mist, which
creep sobbing into Hi? earth. Annie ;
Avas av. < ping 011 her lover's breast, her j
wet check next to his.
"You bve me. Annie. I know it at
last, thank Hod. and you will marry j
me. Speak girl, and give me your
promise."
Then she spoke. They were only
tremulous, and broken Avonls wit A
tearful joy half sobbed, half spoken,
but they made her the betrothed of
flit-hard Cranshaw.
nil:* jt an Hum vi i?ni> a
utes ihf-y stood there together? Happy ^
lovers, they could not tell. Suddenly ?
a door wr.s opened and a long bar of i
light shot out into the darkness. With
the light came the sound of music and I
dancing, and the sight of dancers
whirling past the open door.
"They arc looking for us." said Annie.
"we must go in for the last dance."
"It is my last dance for a long time. ;
I sail to-morrow."
There were no traces of tears on j
Annie's face except tlie shining of her i
checks, which flashed as roses do in >
the last drops of a summer shewev. ;
her lips were tremulous with shy ten- i
denies?", and her eyes shot sparkles of j
triumph. Such a face, so quickened in ;
the strife of pride and love, one might i
never chance to see in a whole lifetime.
it caught the gaze of the dancers
as thry swept past. When the music
stopped .he young men edged about ;
tiie spot where she st< o.l. j
"I have hcen looking for you for ; '
the ln>. dance." said a dapper you lis J 1
man, who made a bow more elaborate . (
than th. , in praetiee by the young men : '
of Seaport. lie was clearly a travel- ; ?
injr man. The air of cities, of hotels. ' '
and of sleeping ears was upon him. j '
He had eome to the place (o sell goods . '
and to show samples: had made ac- i f
quaintaiu'cs of the young men: stayed i (
to the dance and been introduced to I j
sone of the girls.
"Oh. Mr. Marcjortt!" cried Annie. "1 j
really fear you aiv mistaken. I <'.r> no; j
remember giving you tin's dance!"
"It is a mistake somewhere." sa d
Fred I'arker. a young man who had
the village store. "It's the dauoc I en- ; '

"Ob. Fred." Annie answered lightly: J
"you know I bave not any memory
and you ought not to bave asked me
so long beforehand."
"It's my dance, end you know :t." :
muttered Richard in a suppressed '
tone, which only Annie heard. I-Ie | 1

situation was getting to be r'.di<-uious.
"Let me sec!" she cried, cheeking of
her partners with a motion of her pre'ty
forrlinger. "Fred, len days ago.

v.d's errs. ' Well. I will take the hap\v
menu and dance with Mr. Marpiett."
and away she whirled. Fred
['a: her wlih easy facility whirled after
her \vi i> another partner. If ItiohiI'd
('raii>haw had done the same h?

WEATHER AN!) CROPS.
General Review of Conditions at the
Close of the Week.
The average temperture during the
Reek ending S a. m.. Monday, August
5th. was about normal, with a maximum
of 102 degrees at Tillers Ferry,
and a minimum of G4 degrees at Cheraw
and Spartanburg. There was neatly
the normal amount of sunshine.
Beneficial, and quite general rains
occured over portions of the central
and lower Savannah valley, and adjacent
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, Orangeburg, 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 moisture.
Cotton continued to improve and
looks healthy, hot generally rema:na
small, late, and has very few grown
bolls. A few laealities report the plant?
growing too much to weed and not
fruiting well, although generally cotton
is moderately well fruited. A little
shedding i3 reported, and some fields
are infested with lice and rust. Cn
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 w-ek's
condition, except that in places yoving
corn made some improvement, and in
others has deteriorated for want of
moisture. A worm known a3 the corn
stalk-borer is doing much damage over
the southeastern and central counties,
fodder is being stripped from old corn.
Tobacco cutting and curing still progressing
favorably, and is ncarin.t
:? ? l nz-.o 1;f;r,j Tho o?rlv rrftn
iu lu.aiu.u. * ..v. .j .
is poor, but late tobacco is doing well,
cx'-ept that worms are numerous.
Rice looks promising, and Is heading.
Sweet potatoes arp the most promising
cf all the minor crops; th* earliest are
about ready to market. Some white potatoes
are being planted. Some peaj
have been cut for forage; peas are poor
in places and fine in others. Turnips
being sown. Peaches are worthless in
many places, and generally rotting extensively.
Apples continue to drop.
Much hay being gathered along the
co3st and from river bottoms. Tea and
coffee plants are very promising.
From Washington.
Washington. D. C., Special.?The
monthly report of the Statistician of
the Department of Agriculture shows
he averaere condition of cotton on
July 25 to have been 77.2. as compared
with 81.1 on the 25th of the preceding
month; 7G on August 1, 1900, 84 oil
August 1. 1S99. and a ten-year average
of 84. There was an 'inprovement of
conditions during July amounting to
G points in Georgia. 5 points in Soutn
Carolina. 2 in Alabama and Mississippi
.and 8 in Virginia. On the other
hand, there was a decline of 19 points
in Missouri, 15 in Arkansas and Tennessee.
13 in Oklahoma and Indian
Territory, 12 in Texas. 7 in Florida,
4 in North Carolina, and 2 in Louisiana.
The impairment in condition is
largely due to drought, tut in a portion
of the eastern section of the cotton
belt it is attributable to the prevalence
of excessive rain during a
large part of the month. While the
condition in Mississippi is 5 points
above the States' ten-year average, every
other State reports a condition
below such average. Virginia being 1,
Louisiana 2, Alabama 3. Texas 7,
Oeorgiar 8. South Carolina and Florida
9. North Carolina 12. Arkansas, Tennessee
and Missouri 16 points below
their respective ten-year averages.
The averages of condition in the different
States are reported as follows:
Virginia 86, North Carolina 73.
South Carolina 75 Georgia 78, Florida
79. Alabama 82. Mississippi 88. Louisiana
62. Texas 74, Arkansas 69. Tennessee
70. Missouri 71, Oklahoma 75,
Indian Territory 75.
