laughed with a sudden bitterness.
Ho was standing in fiont of a

“ A'liy do it ?” repeated
Holt; and he lifted his weapon
and swung ii furiously against the

“Pshaw!’’

stmifce, could not help a look of
relief comir g to his face. He
felt that his countenance express
ed too much, and he stooped
down and picked up a /wig from
the ground; breaking it in h\s fin
gers. and not raising his eyes,
“You see I have gtown up nea
her since she was a child,” went
on Holt, “and 1 don’t think she
would ever tbiok of me, save as a
kind of brother, I'm not going lo
give her the trouble of saying ‘No’
to me. Girls don’t care for people

“Do you know so much about
girls!” rising suddenly to his fee,
away hi cigar.
“Who is it knows so muc“
about girls?” asked a voice behind
them among the trees, and a girl
stepped out into the opening and
looked from one to the other, not
a smile sti ring her dark and vivid
face. But there was a flash of
fun in her which was rot
allowed to over run.
Naomi Barto must have known
verv well wbat was the effect of
that crimson, fluffy tl ing which
was twisted over her biuck hair :
was she unconcious that none
could wear the drapery of a shawl
with more grace than she could
bring to bear upon the apparently
passive ac/t /’here was .itde red
mittens on her hands, and one of
those little held a three p nl tin

“I suppose you think it a manly
thing, Ralph //oh,” turning to
tnal person, whose face, despi'e
himse't was g'owing with
pleasure at sight of hei, to Have
your poor old mother to suffer
from fears that you will starve to
death. You forgot your dinner
to day.”
Barron had quickly removed his
hat as he had bowed profoundly
to Miss Barto and now he stood
looking at hei with that undis
guised but perfectly respectful ad
miration, which is so great a com
pliment to women.
Did she see that admiration ?
Holt saw it anti was like a sudden
and terrible revelation to him.
Of course, Barron was attracted
to her; of course that attraction
must be mutual ; for Holt was r»o‘
so prtserverly blind but he could
see that this stranger, rich, hand
some of good address, ai-d he ad
ded to himself 'A good fellow,
too,” was one :o ensnare a woman s
fancy.
He had just announced to Bar

Before Holt could speak Barron
said, g. i ly ;
“Y< u put a premium on forget

Holt said nothing, the gnl won

“Well, Barron had a right to

Ho t still breathing heavily
He scarcely dared look at am com
panion, There was some dread

' and dash his ux against that hand-
I some face. For the moment he
j was afraid of himself. Ho saw
I again, as through a course of
j blood, the sweet, involantarv smile
| Naomi had given Barron,
| He turned toward Barron, who
j sprang back tnvolun/arily a step
I crying out :
“Good heavens, Holt what ha s

The exclamation recalled Holt
to himself, //e tried to laugh.
Then he said, awkwardly :
“1 am glad you agree with me
about women and their way of
loving, You see I am right in
deciding to/ to slay here and en
dure the torture of seeing the girl
love some one else. lustead of
wai/ing until next week before 1
go, I can be ready the uay after
to-morrow.’'
Holt was looking full in his
companion's face as he said these
words, and he saw something
there that made him say, sharply,
and yet with a kind of guttural,
sound in his voice :
“Barron, you love her ! ’
Barron turned away, lur Hoit
saw his face grow red and then
pale. Then he fronted his ques
tioner and said almost in a whis
per
“If I do, you cannot wonder,
can yon ?”
Holt was silent a long time. So
long ibat Btrron at las/ came to
ward him, and put his ban d on
bis arm, repeating hi i question:
“You cannot wonder can
you ?”
Instead of replying Holt
said
“I was thinking of that old say
ing about looking at happiness
tbrougn auoiher man’s eyes."
“But I am not happy yet.”
“You will be. I saw her smile a
you to-day.”
“You must not put too much
confidence in a woman’s smile. ’
Though Barron said this his face
showed (hat hope was high.
“I shall not cut any more w 00...
to day,” abruptly said Holt. ‘ -Vill
you go down the uill with me ?”
He hurriedly put on his jacket,
then swung bis ax over his shoul

film two men began the descent
of tne hill and went on half wav
down in silence ; tlier Barron sud
denly stopped.
“That was a curious sound," lie
said.
Holt roused hiuiself.
“I heard nothing,” he said.
“Wlmt was it like ?”
Hu ipoke indifferently, as if he
cared very litde.
“I eau scarcely tell. It might
be a cry for help.”
“Not likely,” listlessly
“But if it were,” returned Bar
rut, still detaining his compan
ion by a hand on his arm—-* if it
were, you would wish so heed ; t
would yon not !’’
Holt was plainly impatient; but
ho said. “Of course,” and tried to
listen.
Then they bo/lt heard what
have been a cry, hut i/ had such
a stia'ige aud stiff’-rated sound in
it that it was impossible to tell if
a human voice ha t uttered it:
“You heard that?" said Barron,
ivho felt irritated that the other
should feel so little interest in
this sigff of distress.
s; but I don't know what to
| make of it. Borne dog perhaps. ’
“Whatever it is, l shall follow it
up.”
At dhe turned off to the left
and began pushing through the
thick growing wood, while //olt
kept by his side sullenly but per
sis ently, as one having no inter
est in the affair in hand.
lu a moment the two had emerg
ed iuto a space where the trees
ha* 1 been cut that winter. It was
a soipewhat steep slope down the
hill, and here and there weie still
small patches of snow, fast melt
ing beneath this sun.
On one of these patches of
while, close to where a small
group as walnut trees had beeh
left standing, both men paw at
the same instant the same object.
That object was a spot bright
red on the snGw, something re
sembling what women call a
‘‘cloud.”
1> was like what Naomi Barto
had worn a half an hour ago
Holt dashed forward a step by
the side of Barron; then, recalling
the smile he bad seen given to
that man, by an effort which look
all his will, which was weak)
be drew backhand followed the
impetuous rush that Barron made
down the hill.
“J will be icady to help, but
I will uot be first,” was what he
thought.
As they came nearer they saw
that a tree seemed to have fallen,
aud the next moment revealed to
their eves that a woman was pin
ned down beneath one of the bran
ches.
I hey saw the dark hair loosen
ed and lying on th snow. The
face was turned from them, but
neither seemed to see it to know
that ii was the woman hey boih
■oved who was in such need of
help.
Holt’s eyes mechanically took in
the iv hole scene, aside from that
helpless figure. He saw that ihe
ire*, which had fallen had been
sawid nearly through the butt,
and that it stood ready for the
firs- blow of wind from the right
direction
He knew, too, or thought ho
knew, whose carders werk it was.
Strange how many swift
.houghts raced through his mind
in the brief time while he was
flying down the hill.
Barron reachtd the spot an in
stant before Holt. The two men
saw at a glance the position of a
heavy branch across the girl’s
chest, and saw also from what
p'act- it must be moved.
But Holt had the better jud *e
meut, and in this terrible moment
the cooler eye. Hv felt as though
every nerve and muscle were
strung to t e utmost tension.
His swift glance at the suffering
face i n the snow told him with
almost unerring precision how
many minutes longer Naomi could
endure the burden that was press
ing her yourg life out.
I Barron leaped at once to the
place, close to waere the tree limb
joined the trunk. Before Holt
could cry out to him to wait, 'hut
/ hey might uuite their effort a. lie
lmd seized the limb, and with vio
lent and sudden strain, like the
lifting of one miraculously made a
giant, hs raised the wood that lay
over the woman pinned there.
His face was purple, hiu iye
ha Is injected wi h blood, as he
did so; but no on - saw that effort
save the girl for whom he was
working; and whose face was to
ward him.
Holt, as soon as he knew that
Barron would make his first effort
without waiting for aid, direeied
his whole attention to watching
if the load was lifted enough for
him to draw Naomi from under
the tree.
//is own plan,formed instamane
ously, Lad been that they should
qoth endeavor to raise ilio load
and push the log underneath,thus
relievuig the weigh/.
To his unspeakable surprise, he
saw the lhi:k branch rise slightly
beneath Barron’s power. He had
uot known how thoroughly that
gentleman’s muscles lmd been
trained.
As quickly as light, as strongly
as love, Ho't now acted.
In that fl ish of time while the
weight was lifted he drew ihegirl
from beneath it.
Having done so, befell down on
liis knees beside her, uot looking
now toward Barron, who did not
come forward.
Naomi whose senses had been
painfully kept alive, had now be
come unconscious; out being nat
urally strong and well she revived
in a few moments, as Holt rubbed
snow upon her hands and tem
ple*, keeping himself outwardly
calm only by a great effort.
W hen she opened her eyes and
locked at him, though his heart
thrilled beneath that glance, he
felt that lie must not yield lo the
temptation it Drought to him.
Now lie remembered Barron.
He rose quickly aud glanced
over the tree trunk, some s iflej
cry escaping him as he did so.
He saw Barron lying on his
side, htß face almost as whitens
the snow near it, and a thin stream
of blood slowly trickling fro u his
lips.
Something resembling a smile
came into Barron’a eyes as //olt
came round and bent over him.
‘ls sh>- safe?” wh’spered Bar
ron.
Holt nodded. He did not think
lie could speaks Young, unused
to death as he was, he knew that
death was near the man before
him—so near that he never thought
of going for aid
‘‘They said I was fickle,” arid
Barron, slowly; “but how could I
have been tickle to her?”
He looked up wistfully at the
strong, moved face befor him.
“I suppose it is all right," he
said after a pause. Then more
loudly and strongly: “Where
did I read, the other daj, that it
was not difficult to die?”
As he finished speaking his
glance met the eyes of TVaomi.
who had risen, and had come to
H olt’s side. A gush of blood
came faster. His eyelids fell soft
ly, peacefully.
The man and women standing
there remained silent and motion
less for several moments.
Then //olt turned and looked
at ihe pallid, tear wet face of the
girl beside him.
He took off his hat, as he n ver
ently said;
“I do not wonder, Naomi, that,
as I love you, so you loved him,
Even I could not help having an
affection for him.”
Ihe blood came painfully up
over Naomi's face. The pulse ui
her tliroat be a heavily.
“You mistake,’’ she arid, in a
voice mat, sad as it was, started
Holt ill to what seemed to him
then to be a guilty happiness.

A very large number of dele

overtook*us about fifty miles this
wide of Brunswick, and the citi
zens accused us of bringing the
old weather in our overcoat,
pockets. It was cold, the ther
mometer stan fingabout 28 during
our stay, and our overcoats were
in constant demand.
Brunswick is ari interesting ciiy

I he question of emigration wus
before the convention in Rome in
August last and was carried over
to this time. Col. I). C. Barrow
was ettitled to the floor and
opened tho discussion by reading
a very long aud interesting argu
men: in favor of emigration. The
subject was discussed \ei’y oxten
sively aud filially disposed of by
a resolution memorializing the
Legislature to pass such act us to
meet the demands of the country.
Prof. While made the experi
mental report,addressing the con
vention and advocating the estab
lishing o other experimental sta
tions in Georgia. The result of
his experiments bus developed
some very curious facts so farmers

Col. Duncan, President <ff the

Society, addressed the convention,
giving ijjjj observations as a cot
tontol for the jiust twen y years.
He is u voting man and an iuter
esiing and forcible speaker.
Dr. P. H. .Mell Jr., addressed
the convention on the science of
meteorology, and I think he suc
ceeded in convincing a majority of
us the benefits derived from that
course to agriculturists.
Then the practical use of im
proved tools, machinery, etc., was
discussed fully by Col. Murphy,
of BarnesviDe.
But the subject “ludustry the
highway to success" was the
clincher, delivered by Dr, Quigg.
of Conyers, He is a lull blooded
Irishman and a Presbyterian di
vine. His speech was excellent
both intensely interesting and
laughable. The pic'ures he drew
of the average Georgia farmer on
duty was ludicrous. The Doctor

About two hundred of the dele

quite a number of ladies, of the
