.“Do you suppose site will come
to-.lay V” askeri Beatrix Browne.
“Of course she will cotne,” said
Mr. Ilerschcl Hubert Browne.
“Why shouhln’t she?”
“Oh, how can I tell?” cried im
patient Beatrix. “The train must
have been in lung ago. And oh
me! here is the baroueh eomin
hack without her.”
Mr. ilersfhul Hilbert Browne
was a handcome, f.ishiotialily dress
ed young man, witii a big diamond
on Ills liltte finger antl-a cotivon
tioaai smirk on his handsome eoun
tenance. Miss Beatrix, his sister,
was a artificial damsel, costumed
alter tlie latest Baris plate, and
their mother, Mrs. Bethune Browne,
was a stylish widow, who kept up a
great deal of appearance on very
littl • sol* I f itiod-i'ion.
“.I lic.scmi and Trix can only
Contrive to n iko good matclies we
shall ride triumphantly over all
these difficulties,” sai l she, com
placently f inning herself wiih a
jeweled S| apish fun. Ho she had
rente 1 “U.j louruie,” a nrettysum-
ita-r residence, engaged a first-
class French cook, given a most
liberal order to tlie mlliner and
dross maker, and issued invitations
to a number of friends to pass the
summer with her.
“The only mistake we made,”
said Mrs. Browne, ‘was in couiii g
to a place where my girlhood was
spent. It isn’t pleasant to have
Stout old farmers stopping one to
ask if I succeeded in that sciiool-
te.ichiog venture, nr that specula
tion in taking hoarders, or to he
told by red-faced old women that
1 hold my years wonderfully
well.’ ”
Bui Mr.-. Bethune Browne and
her s m and daughter were doomed
to loneliness that afternoon. Mi;*
Harper, the New York heiress,
had not come, as she was expected,
by thy alternoon train; and as Ihe
Bethune Brownes were not
people who ever took any es
pecial pains to entertain cadi oth
er Ihe evening(iid not pass away in
unmitigated bliss.
Miss Harper, however, had come.
The only mistake she h»d commit-
tod was in leaving the train at
Pino Biufl' station instead of Pine
Hill station. But how was she, a
born New Yorker, whose anteced
ents were only of Fifth avenue and
Twenty third street, to diecimi-
nate between these puzzling simi-
• lari ties?
She looked around at the pine
thickets; she listened with a vague
misgiving to the rush of tlie pebbly
brook in the copse; she glanced ap
pealingly at the ticket agent, who
was rolling some barrels of lime
along the platform toward the
freight room.
“Is there no one here to meet
me?” she asked. “Iam Miss Har
per, from New York.”
The ticket agent looked up at the
sky,down at tiie daisies, and then at
the forlorn stranger.
“I don’t see no one,” said he.
“I am to go to tho Brownes,” said
the.
“The Brownes, eh ?” said the
agent.
“Yes,” she said, eagerly, “the
Brown s.”
“They don’t live such a piece up
the road,” said the agent, still con
sidering an especial daisy bud,
whose soft, white fringe - as just
opening to the sunshine. “I guefs
likely you might walk. Anyhow,
there ain’t no oiher way to go.”
Miss Harper’s heart beat exult
antly.
“Up which road ?” said she.
“That thar,” and the agent nod-
ed toward the distant mountain
side.
“Ab,” said Miss Harper, “i* it
very lonely?”
“Blass you. no,” said the agent.
“There’s as many as three houses
within the mile,not conntin’the saw
mill.”
“Ana I can leave my trunk here
to be sent for?”
—-<Oh, yes.” said the agent.
So Melicent Harper walked
French boots, Laris hat, tiny mash-
room parasol and all.
It was a little cottage; the very
poetic, picturesque cottage of her
•irlhood’s dreams, with caves
reaching nearly to the ground, wil
dernesses of woodbine, morning
me?”
The gentleman looked puzzled.
“No,” he said.
“Then you never got my letter!’’
“Never,” said the enchanted
prince;
“I wrote to Miss Browne.”
“Did you?” with some surprise.
“How provoking?” said Melicent,
reddening and biting her ripe red
cherry of a lip. “But I hope you
are glad to see me ?”
"Yes, indeed, we are,” said Har
ry Browne, instinctively polite, as
lie opened the door wide to ad
roit the fairstranger. “Do come in.”
“Marian,” to some one beyond,
“here’s Miss Harper, from New
York, come to see you. She wrote
us from New York, but, of course,
the letter never reached us!”
Marian, a slim, darke-yed Diana,
looked quite as bewildered as her
brother ligd previously done.
“You are welcome,” she said,
‘‘i’lease come up to my room and
take <>!f your things.”
It was the tiniest of little rooms.
In fact, the rot:age itself looked to
.viol.cent’- metropolitan eyes as it
you wtr« viewing it through the
little end of an opera glass. But it
was "O neat, -o dainty, so flower-
scented and pure. Melicent was a
little bewildered still. Glenburnie,
as described by Beatrix Browne,
was a modern castle. And why
did this handsome Harry persist in
calling his sister “Marain ?”
Marian herself was also puzzled
until it occurred to her mind, “all of
a sudden,” that this Miss Harper
mu t have been sent to her assis-
an. e by old Mrs. Telliff, who knew
all sorts of nice girls in need, and
woo wa ( also acquainted with the
fact of their mother’s illness.
“Mrs. Telliff is always thoughtful,’!
she pondered; “but *o dreadfully
brusque and abrupt sometimes.”
Do you know how to take care
of sick people, Miss Harper?” she
asked, as she was shaking out the
snowy muslin folds of the curtains
in I lie “best room.”
Not particularly,”confessed Mel
icent, “Why?”
“Oh, because mamma is just re
covering from rheumatic fever,”
said Marian, “and it would be so
nice if y-iu could help us nurse her.”
•‘M en I will help you,” said Meli-
cenl, with a kiss.
“Harry is ever so useful,” said
Marian. “He is the dearest feilow
in the world. But he can’t do every
thing. He is do>vu stairs now broil
ing the chickens for dinner. He
learned to cook when lie was camp
ing out. And mamma can’t drink
any ceffee but that which he makes.”
Melicent’s eyes sparkled. “He
must lie the best of brothers,” said
she.
“He is,” cried enthusiastic Marian.
Mrs. Brown, the sweetest of pale
individuals, received the visitor
with something of that puzzled air
which Melicent found so hard to
understand. And there was a cot-
tage piano, a banjo, some new mu
sic and a wilderness of wild flowers;
and the young peoplo promised to
show Melicent a cascade up tie
glen, and a haunted dell still t'urtlu r
on.
“They are so nice,” thought Meli-
eent that night when she went to
bed in the little niu-iin-curtaim d
room. “Not at all what I expects d
to see, from Aunt Joseph’- descrip
tion. And Harry is-o unselfish and
tender with his mother—and Mari
an is so s\vee f and affectionate I am
sure I could l>e happy Lore lor a
year.”
Consequently, he next day, when
the grand earring
rattled down the road, and Mi-s
Beatrix Browne came to claim the
waif and stray, Melicent Harper
was more surprise 1 than pleased.
“Have I come to the wrong
place?”said -he. “Oh, they have
been so good to me; The wrong
Browns? No; that can not possi
bly be. They are rigid, right in
everything. But J shall not go
away until Mrs. Brown is well
enough to he about the house.”
And Melicent adhered resolutely
to tiffs determination, in spite of
'Mix's frowns and Herschel Hu.
bert’sblandishments. ShAemained
nearly all summer at the cottage,
and spent only on® little week at
Glenburnie.
“But one can accomplish a good
deal in a week,” said Mrs. Bethune
Browne, Hppefuliy. “And, of
•ourse.V —Jbrnie must be like
paradise to her, after those horrid
lit lc cramped-tip rooms and ever
lasting pine forests.”
i gratulation and withdrew from the
<*ccne as hastily as pos-ible.
! “Its all a comedy, it seems,” he
sajii, almost savagely, to his mother.
“Here is -our ’season wasted, our
purse empty, our tradesmen clam
orous; and Hurry Brown, down at
the cottagp, has gained the prize!”
And all that Mrs. Bethune
Browne could say was this:
“It’s very strange! Very strange,
indeed!”
The Secretary of the Navy, in
reply to the resolution of Mr. Bou-
telle, adopted January, transmit
ted to the House a letter from
Commodore Truxton, commandant
of the Norfolk navy yard, in which
he says: “In reply to yoar letter
transmitting to me the resolution
passed by the House -of Represen
tatives, asking if certain allegations
were true in reference to the admin
istration at the navy yard, of which
I am commandant, has been re
ceived. In answer to the first
statement, I respectfully say there
never were any honorable inscrip
tions upon any cannon captured by
he States, and placed in this yard,
obliterated by tny order. In fact,
up such obliteration at any time
has taken*place. Exposure from
wi-Hther and time had somewhat
obliterated the inscriptions placed
there, but these were renewed by
uiy orders last June and are now
plain. Then follows a list ef the
guns and the inscriptions on them.
Second. The dry dock was never
destroyed. It was partially dam
aged by tho United Bint.*- forces
when they evacuated the yard in
1861, and also by the Confederates
when they evacuated the yard in
1862, hue in neither case did the
damage exceed the destruction of
the caisson and adjacent build
ings.”
Commodore Truxton then men
tions that n hoard of officers was
selected by Secretary Whitney to
supervise and conduct an examina
tion ef candidates for the position
made vacant by the removal oi
Lyons—that full notice of examina
tion was given, and six mechanics
attended and were examined. The
buard reported Thomas B. Carr, of
Boston, as the best man for the
place, and he wa* appointed to the
position of master machinist by the
Secretary of the Navy. The Com
modore continues: “The efficiency
and superior work now turned out
of that shop justifies the change.”
Georgia Farm Mortgages.
The Atlanta "Capito{ mtym Loan
agents have been for a number of
years scattering mortgages upon
onr Georgia farms.
There are probably a miiiion and
a half dollars of such mortgages in
sums of from $500 to $3,000. Num
bers of the borrowers have failed to
meet their indebtedness and toe
lands are being sold. Some of our|
best lawyers ere making a hand !

claims
The farmer first paid front 30 to
50 percent, for supplies and guano
advances. He thought it a move
forward to borrow money for three
to five years’ time, mortgages $3 of
and for ft of Joan, paying 10 per
cent of commission in Jump to the
agent and S per cent interest a
year.
For instance on a $3,000 loan he
gave a mortgage on a $9,0011 farm.
His commission, 16 per cent, was
$48'.', which left him only $2,520
caah. His iiflerest of 8 per cent on
$3,000 is $240 a year or $J,200 for the
5 years. His account stands at the

a healthier position of cotton man

ed by authorities that, owing lo
stoppages and sitikes, th® actual
consumption has been no greater
than last year, in which ease the in
creased shipments to the mills de
note a large stock on hand at the
factories. The home consumption
of the northern mills last year was
estimated at 1,437,000 bales, and al
ready this amount has reached
within 200,000 bales, which leaves a
small margin for much of a busi
ness during the remaining six
mouths of the year.

we believe it will become the gen-

productive thau the Wilson and of
very much better flavor. While
the Jewell will grow well and pre-
due® lair crops ot berries on the
lightest and poorest lands, it will
stand any amount of manuring,
and grow and produce fruit in pro
portion to the richness of the
round. We, last Summer, picked
from a single plant of Jewell, which
had been planted in the August
previous, a full quart box of line
berries, and left on the vine 48,

sized, marketable berries when
ripe. The Jewell produces berries
of a uniform size and larger than
any berries of our acquaintance will
average. The color is bright and
