Footprints in tho Sand.
BY PI.OKA IIA INKS kOUUIIKAD.
K did not notice
thoin at first.
They were such
tiny footprints
and there were
placet whero the
wash of tho waves
lnul half educed
them. Andhowaa
n man distraught
with trouble, his
brnin a maelstrom of anguish and hot
anger against tho inim who would turn
him out of hit homo on tho morrow and
leave hit children without a roof to shel-
ter them.
Ah, that was whero it hurt. Ills
children. Ho was a strong man, equal
to meeting the bullets of fortuno and
able to mnko Ida way up again, if ho had
lo begin at the very lowost round of tlio
ladder. Ho could end tiro privutiou and
overwork. Ills wifo was young and
capable, cheerful nud willing. Rut—
tlie children I
IIo had boon watching their play for
tho last hour—thoir happy, careless
play, so unconscious wero they of com
ing ill—until he could onduro tho sight
no longer and had rushed out into tho
gathering night. How littlo thoy guoised
that soon they wero to louvo their coin*
fortablu home, tho homo ho had toilo 1
so hard to uinko and striven so hard to
save.
IIo had slipped into this strait so
easily. That was always tho way. Hap
piness and coinfort wero ouly to be
wrested from futo by herculean ollorf.
Poverty and misery waited on tho heck
of a Huger. In tho beginning he had
cecded a little money to provide tho nee-
OSMl? implements to cultivate his place.
To whom should ho so naturally apply
as to hia wealthy neighbor, Judge Van
Alstoyno, who made a business of loan
ing money, and who lived on the blufl
overlooking tho sea? IIo had given u
mortgage on his placo as security, aud
how was ho to know,what puuplo hinted
freely uow, that tho rieli man had long
tovetod his own little strip of land,
which ndjoiued the judge's extensive
grounds? Then had come tho dreadtul
■iego of scnrlet fever, which had attacked
his household, nud littlo Annie, narrowly
saved from death, had boon left a crip
ple. There was a costly surgical appli
ance that ho had heard would draw the
crippled limb hack iutoshape, nud it was
then thnt ho had asked for tho second
loan, secured by n second mortgago, that
he had taken the child down to the fa
mous city aurocon. There w*s a hope—
nothing .-lptiij ‘ u'hope—that some
timo tho poor, shrunkeu little limb
would he straight and strong again.
Ilia heart softened nt tho thought of
hia crippled child, and it was this re
membrance of her that stirred him to an
interest in tho tiny footprints that wont
oil hofore him. Almost unconsciously
and without purpose bo began to follow
them, wandering aimlessly about, as thoy
wandered, idly noting the places where
they had turned aside and loitered,
marked by shining heaps of shells aud
mounds of sand.
They were not like his Annie’s, these
oven prints of light and nimble feet. His
heart ached anew ns lie remembered tho
last time ho had borno her in his arms to
tiie beach and tho straugo trail tho poor
little luinc foot had mado dragging in tbo
sand. This child had a narrow, shapely
foot, nnd in somo of the prints there
was the distinct mark of a tiny French
heel. Why was it that there was
nowhero any sign of a larger footprint
to guido tho little, babyish feet? Why
did the littlo footsteps go on and on,
never iu any placo returning? Who was
there in all the town that would trust a
littlo child to wander alone on the sands,
witli tho tide at tho turn and night coin
ing on? Who was there in the neigh
borhood with a little child the size of
bis Annie, who might have slipped away
without the parents’ knowledge and
strayed to this lonely spot, drawn by tho
music of the waves, the strange magic
of the sea?
The answer brought a throb of awful
triumph. Who hut the people living in
the great house on the bluff? The judge's
little Annie—the petted darling of for
tune—upon whem he had so often looked
with jealous eyes, comparing her position
with thut of his unfortunate little one.
And yet it seemed impossible that a
child S3 carefully guarded could escape
the vigilance of those whose sole duty it
was to watch over her. What reason
hud ho to go on along tho narrow strip
of sand hemmed in by the bluffs, risking
his own life,‘it might he, in a fruitless
search for a child who had doubtless
played there in tho afternoon sunshine,
and who hud probably gone hack along
the border of the beach, which was now
laved by the water? If he should turn
back at this moment to the homo where
sat his sorrowing wife with his haploss
children, what blamo could attach to
him if on the marrow the tidings of
Judge Van Alstcyno's terrible loss should
he brought to him? How did it concern
him if fate was about to deal to this man
who had so persecuted him a blow more
deadly than that that had boen leveled
at binself ?
He looked back toward the great
house. There were lights in all tho
rooms. Even at that distance he seemed
to tea figure* nulling ts aud fro and tha
signs of unusual agitation and excite
ment. The next instant he rued tha loss
of even that moment of Waning daylight,
and, bending low to make sure of the
direction of the little footprint*, ran
swiftly on.
Ho did not stop to reason with him*
solf that thus would ho pray to bo dealt
with by another should tho livoi of hia
chi Id re u be imperiled. There are higher
principles of action tha* that laid down
by the golden rulo. Tho instinct of
humanity in him was more powerful than
self interest, and hs obeyed it blindly,
oblivious of every other thought but that
no innocent life was endangoiod, which
it might ho hi* privilege lo invu.
Once, twice, thrics ho knolt in tho
gloom nnd unrobed for the dim impres
sion* lie was following, and tho lait time
he felt cautiously with his lingers on tho
cold, wet sand to verify tho testimony of
hia eyes in tho falling light.
At length he accmud to hear a faint
cry in tho diatanco, around n rocky
point. Thu sound lent him now strength.
A fow rod* beyond tho poiut thoro was
a run of clear water, often mistaken for
an inlet of tho aca. Ho and others fa
miliar with tho coast knew that it was a
stream of fresh water, flowing down
from the mountains auu Poking in thu
marshes hack of tho bluffs in this locality,
only to piorco tho cliff* at au unknown
depth beluw tho water level and to huh-
bio forth afresh whero tho soa laved
their ba*o. At high water stream nud
ocean merged into our, hut nt low water
tho stream rippled forth to join tho son.
And nt tho place where it welled up
from Us underground passage there were
dangerous quicksands. One misstep and
the friglitcucd child, groping on in tho
night, would meet a horribio doom,
suallowcd up in a moment by tho greedy
suction of the sands.
There was a flutter of a white garment
on n narrow spit of sand, bordurod on
one side by tho advancing tide, ou the
other by tho stream, with its treacherous
beds aud crum'dlng hanks. Ho shouted
to warn tho child of her datigor and the
wavos drowned his cry. Confused, ex
hausted, tcrritlod nt the* grout breaker*
that rose with n thundering roar and foil
again to dash themselves over tho sand
in foaming sheets that lappod her feet,
sho stumbled in tho direction of tho
quicksAudt; aud it was on the edge of
tho crumbling hanks of sand thut Richard
Mansfield caught hor.
There were lights moving amid tho
ahruhhery on tho Van Alatcyno placo,
more lights on tho narrow strip of hoioh
below, doliniug timorous figures which
scarchod tho tido pools and crouched nnd
pccrod out upou tho framing waters,
fearful of n burden they might bear upon
their breast. Drenched through aud
through, chilled and stiffened, with his
strength nigh spont, he passoil them all,
labored up tho bluIT and laid til* hurdou
in tho futhor’s arms.
Tho judge, distructod by tho anguish
ho had undergone, idlontly received tho
child, and bar deliverer, unrecognized,
passed out into the darkness.
It was as ho would havo asked.
Strange complexity of human nature; lie
could moet tho humilation and defeat of
the morrow with now spirit, sustaino 1
by the secret knowludgo of this splondid
triumph over his cnoiuy.
But fato, or tho overruling power we
call Providence, iu those days does not
always give his own way to a man who
would suffer in silence at tho hands of
ono whom he has blessed. Late that
evoning Judge Van Alstoyno, watching
ids sleeping child in silent rojoicitig,
awoko to a sudden sense of obligation
uudischnrged. Ho went down to thu
servants' quarters, where ho found the
men drinking tho health of tho house
hold in his wine. They startod up sheep-
lihly at ids entrance, for tho jndgo was a
stern man and somebody was suro to lie
blamed for the mishap that had befallen
tho little lady. But this tiino it was thu
judge who was oiubarrassed, hesitating,
almost deprecating, in his inanuor and
speech.
“Which of you was it that brought
back tho child? I was so troubled — be
side myself—that I did not notice.
Which ono amoug you was it?”
Thero was a moment's awkward
silence. Then tho coachman roplied;
“It wasn't none of us, sir. 'Twain
man tbat'd been out walking on the
sands. lie lives close by. Dick Mans
field; him that has the crippled child.
The judge passed out without a word.
Richard Mansfield, tho inau whoso putty
debt, so long unpaid, had been a vex
ation to him, when his mind was en
grossed with larger matters. Quo mort
gage had been renewed. It had become
duo, with tho second one, tho middle of
December, but tho man had asked for
rooro time and ho h&d given him uctil
past New Year. He did not like to use
harsh measures in the holiday season,hut
he hud told him that business was busi
ness, and that thu money must he paid at
the beginning of the year or ho would ho
compelled to foreclose. Tho fellow had
seemed so thriftless nnd down at the
heel. The interest had never been
promptly paid. And so he had a crippled
child?
Tho judgo was walking down his
garden path, hastening toward the dim
light that shone in tho window of thu
cottage. The night was raw, and the
wind still blustered and shrieked, sure
indication of a brooding storm on the
Pacific shore, lie buttoned up ids coat
and shivered ‘ | *■**"*
men! and disturbed the gentlo *lw|>or,
who stirred and muttered brokenly, the*
•lumbered again.
The Judge looked down upon the
painted crib, the tiny crutch, whittled
out by hand, that stood beside it, tho
patchwork coverlet and thu wati cheek
and remombored the rounded cheek of
the little slcopcr he hnd loft pillowed ou
down beneath a canopy of laco,
Tho man who could without emotion
pronounco sentence upon a criminal,who
waa called tho most cloar-hcado l and
hard-hearted of usurers iu tho oonduct
of his privato businms, experienced a
queer rising iu his throat when ho ossayod
to speak
A tear full on tho fadoJ coverlet. Ho
reached out Ids hand to the man who
stood beside him, nnd Richard Mansfield
knew that Ids days of hopelcu poverty
and strifo wero past. — Wa*liin;ton Star.

It Fays to Dress Well.
Let a young man lay it down as a
golden rule that it pays to drets well. If
there is a graiu of truth in tho old say
ing that clothes cm make a man, it ap
plies with inci cosed forco if the man
who happens to bo meant is a man of
ability. A well-fitting suit of clothes is
a magic key to society—not clothes by
be thought that his little J themselves, of course, but considered as
daughter might even now huvo been at
the mercy of wind and wave. A queer
freak for a man to be walking on tho
sands on such a night. He must have
been distracted to choose such a place in
such weather. Distracted? This waa
the first day of tbo new year, and it was
to-morrow that ho had deciarod the
mortgage should bo foreclosed. And
there was the crippled child.
Richard Mansfield, sitting beside his
sleeping child, his head bowed in his
hands, not now in despair, but in a stout
effoit to master the situation before him,
heard something that sounded like a
muffled knock at tiie door. He raised
his head, alarmed at tho late call, and
the Judge entered without bidding, in a
gust ol wind that rocked the frail teno
adjuncts in tho make-up of the man.
If you were going to employ a clerk
and there were six applicants, ail
equally intelligent, capable .aud honest,
but one of them well dressed and tidy in
looks and the other five stuffed into ill-
fitting garments, tho chauces are ten to
one that you would select tho first. No
young man looking forward to something
higher ia life can make a better invest
ment than to buy good clothes. The
fact that Roscoe Conkling was an ex
quisite drosscr only loot an additional in
terest to his great individuality. No
man ever accused him of being an ani
mated fashion plate, but tbo publie re
spec ted him all the more because he ha I
tne outward signs of a man of taste.-~bt.

Georgia's rolling exposition will soon

things for the state. It is the idea of its
projectors to a have magnificent cur built
and fitted with a vnrlity of Georgia's
choicest products, and placo it on the
road, and csrrv it through every state in
tho union. The car is now bring built
by the Jack‘on-Sharp Company, of Wil-
limlngton, N. G\, and will be a splendid
one. It is an elegant palnce c*r s- verity
feet in length and will be built with con-
vencncics for the purpose which it is to
be used. As soon as thecsr is completed
it will be brought to Georgin. nnd loaded
with an exposition ot Geoigia’s product,

Colonel E. C. Machen says tlmt th
Middle Georgia and Atlautic railroad will
be completed in the near futuro. He has
been in Savannah in ronfo. encj with the
syndicate there. The first thing on the
programme is to iron the mad, which is
already graded from Macon to Coving
ton. Then the company will have a line
from Covington, on the Georgia ro id, to
Eatonton, In Putnainjmunty. That will
be e good start on the rood, which is to
be an air-liuo from Covington to Savan
nah. The original intention was to build
but that will not bo touched until the

Somo timo since the Macon Telegraph
mailed inquhha to all tlm cotton raising
counties in Georgia nuking for estimate*
on cotton acreage for the present year.
Replies wero rrc ivod from « large ma
jority of these corrcs indents, and tho re
sult was published in Sunday's paper.
The rsplloa indicate a general reduction
of nerwsgs devoted to cotton throughout
tho stats of about 90 per cent ns compar
ed with the crop of last year. Tho acre
age devoted to cotton heretofore will bo
tliia yoar planted In corn, whoat, peas
and other food crops Tobacco culture
will also claim attention from Ueorgin
farmers, and in some counties whrre ex-
pcrmlenta have proven auceessful, a large
crop will bo planted.

The 8thto Agricultural Society will
probably return to Macon, Its first love,
for which all the members seem to hava
a lingering fondness. This waa virtually
douidod at the last meeting of thu execu
tive committee. The n port of the sub
committee ncemmonding Columbus waa
C resented to tho executive committee,
ut tho Idea seemed to bo that Columbus
waa too far awav. Bo, after considerable
discussion, In which there was nothing of
bitterneas, it wai decided first of hll Gist
a fair should be held next fall.
Then tho ntieation of a location waa
taken up. The premium committee waa
appointed to begin negotiations with
Macon looking toward tho holding of tha
fair thero, and to decide on
Macon If tho ; ark could bo
secured under the terms of the old con-
trait and without uniting with the Macon
Georgia Fair and Exposition Companv.
Il such anangemonta could not bo maua
the committee was authorized to select
some other location. The gentlemen from
Mscon assured the committco that tha
city would no doubt l>o quite willing to
renew the contract, nnd tnontho minting
adjourned, tho members to meet again
very shortly to renew negotiations with
tiie city and get to bury that $10,000
suit. Griffin was selected os the next
place of meeting.
