It struck him now as exactly the (word. “Would you like to live here if you could?” Her face brightened. She put the teapot *£own and gazed fixedly at Jack. “Because you can. Look here! I spoke to Hannibal about it. You can have the two front rooms if you want to. One of ’em is big enough and light enough for a studio to do your work in.

Siu* slid her long brown hand across the table and grasped Jack’s. He returned (lie pres sure quick and fraternally, even to that hali fsliatned, half-hurried evasion of emotion peculiar to all brothers. 1 Ids was also a new sensation, but he liked it. M “You are too —too good, Mr. Hamlin, «ho said quietly. . “Yes." said Jack eheortully. ‘‘that s what > the matter with me. It isn't natural, and if I keep it up toot long it brings on my cough.” , . , Nevertheless, they were happy in a boj fi’i'd-girl-like fashion, eating heartily, and I fear not always decorously; scram.Hing Bomewhat. for the strawberries, and sumex iug their Ips over the Sally f.mms. Menn tme it was arranged that Mr. Hamlin should inform Miss Mix that Sophy would leave school at the end <d the term. only a t'en days hence, and then transfer herself to lodgings with some oil family servants, where she could more easily pursue her studies in her own profession. She need not make her place of abode a secret, neither need she court publicity. She would write to Jack regularly, informing him of her progress, anjl he would visit her when ever ho coni 1.

They were never to talk of what had hap pened before; she was to begin life anew. Os Sll-ai were I heir colitidenees, spoken often together at the same moment aiid with their ttiomi s lull.

I'imbie to tell her himself he had charged Hannibal to break it: to her casually after he was gone. "You can let me down easy if you like, but you'd better make a square den] of it while you're about it. And," Jack had mined cheerfully, "if she thinks after that she'd better drop me en tirely. you just say that if she wishes to stay you'll see that 1 don't ever come here again. And you keep your word about it, 1 >O, you black nigger, or I’ll be the first to thrash you." Nevertheless when Hannibal ami Aunt Chloe returned to clear away the repast they were a harmonious party, albeit Mr. Hamlin seemed more content to watch them silently from his chair by the window, a cigar between his lips, and the pleasant distraction of the homely scents ami sounds of the garden in his senses. Allusion having been made again to the morning perform ance of the organ, he was implored by Han nibal to diversify his talent by exercising it on an old guitar which had passed into that retainer's possession with certain clothes of his master’s when they separated. Mr. Hamlin accepted dubiously; it had twanged under his volatile fingers in more preten tious halls. But presently he raised his tcaoi voice and soft brown lashes io the humble ceiling and sang.

The jasmine vines trilled softly with the after noon breeze, a slender yellow-hammer, per haps emulous of Jack, 'swung himself from tin outer spray and peered curiously into the room, and a few neighbors gathering at their doors and windows remarked that “after ah when it came to real singing no one could beat those d- d niggers.” The sun was slowly sinking in the roll ing gold of the river when Jack and Sophy started slowly back through the broken 3r x 5 f I & L «?s'' the lightest, sweetest, f finestcake - t ■♦ &**• biscuit and bread, -£•?> I k “”‘ SS t xT in their | Acutely Pure preparation. | I ■ 1 I g ROYAL Baking Powder surpasses all -1 others in leavening power, in purity and g S wholesomeness, and is used generally in families, § W exclusively in the most celebrated hotels and res- & S’ taurants, by the United States Army and Navy, g g and wherever the best and finest food is required. g All teachers of cooking schools and lecturers upon y culinary matters use and recommend the Royal. y?

In the midst of a lazy silence they were presently conscious of a distant, monotonous throb, the booming of the "up boat” on the river. The sound came nearer, passed them, the boat itself hidden bv the trees, but a trailing cloud of smoke above cast a momentary shadow upon their path. The girl looked up at Jack with a troubled face. Mr. IlaiiMm smiled reassuringly; but in that instant he had made ui> his mind that it was his moral duty to kill Mr. Edward Stratton. PART IV- For the next two months Mr. Ilamlin was professionally engaged in San Francisco and Marvsville, ami the transfer of Sopny from the’ school to her new home was ef fected without his supervision. From letters received bv him during that interval it seemed that the young girl had entered en ergetically upon her new career and that her artistic efforts were crowned with suc cess There were a few jndia-ink sketches, studies made .at school and expanded in het own “studio,” which were eagerly bought as soon as exhibited in the photographers window, notably by a florid and inartistic bookkeeper, an old negro woman, a slangy stable boy. a gorgeously dressed and painted female, and the bearded sec ond otlicer of a river steamboat, without hesitation .and without comment. 1 his, as Mr. Hamlin intelligently l pointed out in a letter to Sophy, showed a general and di versified appreciation on the part of the public. Indeed, it emboldened her in the retouching of photographs to otter sittings to the subjects, ami to undertake even large crayon copies, which had resulted tn her gelling so many orders that she was no longer obliged to sell her drawings, but. | restricted hot-self solely io profitable por traiture. The studio became known; even its quaint surroundings added to the popu lar interest, and the originality and inde pendence of. the young painter helped hel lo a genuine success. All this she wrote to* Jack. Meantime Hannibal had assured him that he had carried out his instructions by informing "Missy” of his old masters real occupation and .repiitation, but that the | young lady hadn’t “took no notice.'.’ (lei- I tainly there was no allusion to it. in her ! letters nor any indication in her man ner. Mr. Hamlin, was greatly—and it seemed to him properly relieved. And he looked forward with considerable salisfae- I lion to an early visit to old llamuoal s laundry. It must be confessed also that, all ot her matter —a simple all air of gal lantry—was giving him an equally unusual, unexpected and absurd annoy ance—which he Lad never before per mitted to isucii tr:v ail its. In a recent visit to a fashionable watering place lie had attracted the attention of what ap peared to be a respectable. mat ter-of-t act. woman, the wife ot a recently elected rural senator. She was. however, s.ngularly beau tiful. and as singularly cold. It was. per haps, fills qttal ty ami her evident annoy ance at some uiireasonitig prepossessing which Jack’s fas.iiiation exercised upon her that brightened that reckless desire for risk and excitement which really made up tin- greater part of his gallantry. Never theless, .as w.-ts his his habit, he had treated her always with a charming unconscious ness of iiis own attentions ami a frankness lb.nl seemed inconsistent w.th any insidious approach. In fact. Air. Hamlin seldom made love to anybody, but permitted it to be made to him with good-humored depre cation and cheerful skepticism. He 'had once, quite accidentally while riding, com-.- upon her when she had strayed from her own riding party ami had behaved with such unexpected circumspection and pro priety, not to mention a certain thoughtful abstraction—it was the day he had rcec.ved Sophy’s letter—that she was constrained to make the first advances. This led to a later innocent. rendezvous in Which Airs, (lamperlv was impelled to confide to Mr. Hamlin the fact that her husband had r. illy never understood her. Jack listened with understanding ami sympathy. And.so eventually »b.is yearning for sytn- ■ pathy <iragged Mrs. Camperly’s clean skit-b --and rustic purity after Jack’s heels inb. 1 .1 variou- places and various situations mn so clean, rural or innocent: made her miser ably unhappy in his absence and st.ll more miserably happy in bis presence; gave het two distinct lives, but so unreal and fever ish that with a recklessness equal to his own she was at. last ready to merge them into his. For the first time in his l.fe. Mr. ’Hamlin found himself bored at the beginning of tin- affair, actually hesitated, ami suddenly disappeared from San Ffau clseO. He turned up a few days later at Aunt Ghloe’s door with various packages of presents and quite the air of a returning father of a family, to the intense delight j of that lady and to Sophy's proud gratifica- 1 tiou. For he was lost in profuse, boyish admiration of her pretty studio and of wholesome reverence for her art and her astounding progress. '('hey wore also amused at his awe and evident, alarm at the portraits of two ladies, her latest sitters, that were still on the easels, and in con sideration of his half-assumed, half-real bashfulness they 'turned their faces to the wall. Thon his quick, observant eye de tected a photograph of himself on the mantel. “What’s that?” he asked suddenly. Sophy- and'Aunt Chloe exchanged mean ing glances. Sophy had, as a sug-priso to Jack, just completed a handsome crayon portrait of himself from an old photograph furnished by Hannibal, and the picture was at that, moment, in the window of her former patron —the photographer. “O, dat! Miss Soph.v jus’ put. it dar so de lady sitters to look at to git ’em a pleas ant ‘spresshion,’ ” said Aunt Chloe, chuck ling. Mr. Hamlin did not laugh, but quietly slipped tin- photograph in hi,s pocket. Yet, perhaps, it hail not been recognized. Then Sophy proposed to have luncheon in the studio; it was quite “Bohemian” and fashionable,- and many artists did it, but: to her great surprise Jack gravely objected, preferring the little parlor of Aunt Chloe, the vine-fringed windows and tin- heavy, re spectable furnit tire. He thought it was pro faning the studio, and then, anybody might come in. This unusual circumspection amused them-and was believed to be part of the boyish awe with which Jack regarded the models, tl>e draperies and the studies on tin- walls. Certain it was that he was much more at fits ease in the parlor, and when In- and Sophy were once more alone at. their meals, although he ate Inching. he had re gained all his old naivete. Presently he leaned forward ami placed his hand fratern ally on her arm. Sophy looked up with an equally frank smile. ’A on know I promised you Io lot bygones bo bygones oh? Well. 1 intended it and more I intended to make’em so. I 1 old you I’d never speak to you again of that, man who tried to run you oil and I intended that, no one else should. (Veil, as he was tin- only one who could talk that: meant him. But the cards are out of my hands— the game’s been played without me. For he's dead.” The girl started. Mr. Hamlin’s hands passed caressingly twice or thrice .-dong her sleeve with a peculiar gentleness that seem ed to magnetize her. "Dead!" he r'epeated, slowly. "Shot in San Diego by- another man—but not by me. Fd ha<l him tracked .-is far as that, and my eyes on him, but it wasn’t my deal. But— there." he added, giving her magnetized arm a gentle and filial tap as if to awaken it, “he’s dead, and so is the whole story. Ami now we’ll drop it forever.” The girl's downeast eyes were fixed on the table. “But there's my sister,” she mur mured . "Did she know you went with him?” ask ed Jack. “No: but she knows 1 ran away.” “Well, you ran away from home to study how to be an artist, don’t you see? Some day she'll find out you are one- that settles the whole thing.” They wore 'noth quite C-hoerftil again, when Aunt Chloe returned 1o clear the table, es pecially Jack, who was in the best spirits with preternaturally bright eyes and a somewhat rar..- c< lor on hi. cheeks. Aunt Chloe, who had no ticed that his breathing was hur ried at limos, watched him narrowly', and xvhen later he slipped from the room follow ed him into the passage. He was leaning against the wall. In an instant the negress xvas at his side. • "De Lawdy Gawd! —Masse Jack —not l ie too]; his handkerchief slightly streaked x-.itb blood from his lips and said faintly: "Yes it came on—on the ->t but 1 thought the d d thing was ovit, *" ’ of this, quick, to some hotel J knows it. You can tell her-> away. Say- that”—but his bl and when Aunt. Chloe ca child in her strong arms ' resistance. In another hour 1 t wo doctors at ii. .. ■that: had been oecup. sharp attack, but pron,,. skillful nursing availed; he 1 day, but it would be weeks, said, before he could be removed m Sophy was transferred to the parlor., spent most of her time at Jack's bedsic with Aunt Chloe, or in the studio with the* door open between it and the bedroom. In spite of his enforced idleness and weakness, it was again a singularly pleasant experi ence to Ja'ck; it amused him to sometimes see Sophy at her work through the open door, ami when sitters came—for he had insisted on her continuing her duties as before, keeping his invalid presence in the house it secret. He had all the satis faction of a mischievous boy in rehears ing to Sophy such of the conversation as could be overheard through the closed door, and speculating on the possible wonder and chagrin of the sitters had they dis covered him. Even when he was convales cent and strong enough to be helped into the parlor and garden, he preferred to re main propped up in Sophy’s little bedroont. It was evident, however that this predi lection was connected with no suggestion nor reminiscence of Sophy herself. It w a R true that he had once asked her if it didn't, make her “feel like home” —the. decided negative from Sophy seemed to mildly' sur prise hint. "That's odd.” he said: "now all these fixings, and things,” pointing to How ers in a vase, the little hanging shelf of books, the knick-knacks on the mantel shelf, and the few feminine ornaments that still remained, “look rather homelike to me.” So the days slipped by, and although Air. Hamlin was soon able to walk short dis tances leaning on Sophy's'arm in the even ing twilight along the river bank, lie was still missed from the haunts of dissipated men. Many people wondered, and others, chiefly of the more impressible sex, xvere singularly concerned. Apparently one of these one sultry afternoon stopped before the shadowed window of photographer’s; she was a handsome, well dressed xvoman, yet bearing a certain country-like simplic ity that was unlike the restless smartness of the more urban promemiders that passed her. Nevertheless she had halted before Air. Hamlin's picture which Sophy had not yet dared to bring home and present to him—ami was gazing at it with rapt and breathless attention. Suddenly she shook down her veil and entered the shop. Could the proprietor kindly tell her if that portrait was the work of a local artist? I’he proprietor was both proud and pleas ed to say that it was. It was the work of a. Aliss Brown a young girl student, in fact, a mere school girl, one might say. lie qould show her others of her pictures. Thanks. But could he tell her if this portrait was from life. No doubt . The young lady had a studio, and he himself had sent her sitters. And perhaps this was the portrait of one he had sent her? No. But she was very popular and be coming quite the fashion. Very probably this gentleman -whom he understood was quite a public character—had heard of her am! selected her on that account. The lady's face flushed slightly. The photographer continued: ‘The picture xvas not for sale; it was only- there on exhibi tion; in fact, it was to be returned tomor row . To the sitter? He couldn’t: say. It was to go back to the studio. I'erhaps the sitter yvould be there. And the studio? Could she have its ad dress? The man wrote a few linos on his card. I’erhaps the lady would be kind enough to say that he had sent her. The holy thanking him, partly lifted her veil to show a charming smile, and gracefully withdrew. The photographer was pleased. Aliss Brown had evidently got another sitter, and from that momentary glimpse of her face it would be a picture as beau tiful ami attractive as the man's. But what was the odd idea that struck him? She certainly reminded him of some one. There was the same heavy hair, only this lady’s xvas golden and she was older and more mature. And he remained for a moment with knitted brows musing over his coun ter. Meantime the fair stranger was making her xvay toward the river suburb. When she readied Aunt CHiloe’s .-»>tfl:i.ge she paused with the unfamiliar curiosity of a new comer over its quaint and incongruous exterior. She hesitated a moment also ■ jieii Aunt Chloe appeared in the doorway '” -a puzzled survey- of her features s announce a visitor. There 'lurried shutting of doors, ’■uitnre, quick footsteps ’’on a girlish laugh -mled the stairs roes summons, toe landing, and ■ch bona card miirlt , door opened, she enter yiAvo sudden outcries that come from one voice: .-mpnoitisba!” "Marianne!” • - "Hush!” J'he woman had seized Sophy by the waist aid dragged her to (he window. There was a haggard look of desperation in her face a;in to that which Hamlin had once seen it her sister’s eyes on the boat, as she said luskily: "I did not know you were here. I eime to see the woman who had painted Air. Hamlin’s portrait. I did not know it vas you. Listen! Quick! Answer me one Uiestion. Tell me. I implore you. for the sake of the mother who bore "us both, tel] no, is this the man for whom you left lome?” "No. No. A hundred times no.” Then there was a silence. Air. Hamlin rom the bedroom heard no more. An hour later, when the two ■women open -511 the studio door, pale but composed, they were met by' the anxious and tearful face of .Aunt Chloe. "La wdy Gawd, missy!--but: dey gone! bole 3f 'em!” “Who is gone?” demanded Sophy as the woman beside her trembled and grew paler still. "Alarse Jack and dat fool nigger, Hanni bal.” "Air. Hamlin gone?” repeated Sophy in credulously. "When? Where?” "Jess now—on de down boat. Sudden business. Didn't like to disturb yo’ and yo’ friend. Said he'd write.” "But fie was ill—almost helpless,” gasped Sophy. “Dat's why he took dat ole nigger! Baw dy-, missy, bress yo’ heart! Dey both knows iiich udder, shuah! It's all right! Dar, now, dar dey are —listen.” She held up her hand. A slow pulsation that might have been t«m- dull, laboring boating of their own hearts was making it self felt throughout the little cottage. It came nearer —a deep, regular inspiration that seemed slowly- to fill and possess the whole tranquil summer twilignt:. It xvas nearer still —xvas abreast of the house — passed—grew fainter, and at last died away like a deep drawn sigh. It was the down boat, that was now separating Air. Hamlin and his protege even as it had once brought them tgether. (TIIEEMI.) SOME GEORGIA STORIES. Mr. Isaac Lucas, of Talbot county, Is the oldest man in the comity. He was born in January, 1796, and is still in fairly good health. Be is a regular reader of the news papers and keeps well posted on eurrent top ics. He has not used spectacles in thirty years. He gets in and out of his buggy without difficulty- and is as active as the av erage man of seventy. The Coonskin Club, of Cartersville, is no myth. The Courant-American says that a party of Cartersville gentlemen have been considering the financial situation with seriousness and as a result of their delibera tions the Coonskin Club has been organized. Tradition has it that in the earlier days of oil'.’ country's history- coonskins passed for eurreney. it xvas therefore a happy con ception when some of the citizens suggested their readoptiou as a present financial re lief. Now when a load of sweet potatoes or try ing chickens come into market the question will be "what price?” The answer of "so much” will be iortheoniing and the common currency will he tendered when there will be a slight haggle, and the purchaser will say: Rather than be short, I will pay you so many- coonskins with the tail thrown in.” 'J'he Cartersville paper thinks that this business also, will have a two-fold tendency. Not only will it serve to relieve the finan cial pressure, but it will revive the lost art of coou hunting A gentleman who recently returned from a trip over north Georgia, tells a pathetic story. He stopped one night at a small cabin in the woods, and when the head of the house, who seemed to be in a drunken stupor, had retired for the night, his wife, a pale, care worn woman, approached the stranger and, with her tyes streaming with tears, said: “I kinder think that you are a revenue de tective, but for God’s sake, don’t give my husband away! He’s been running a little still for nearly three years, ami as lie won't do anything else, it is ail «ur living. And yet,” she continued, sobbing, “1 wish to God that John would go out of the business; lie is killing himself and breaking my heart. Don’t you see how he is now?” The stranger looked. On a pallet on the bare floor was stretched the husband, sleep ing away his debauch. “It's the still!” crid the poor woman—“the still! He says it’s all our living; but it’ll be all our death! But don’t give him away!” The strangest bit of land north of I'lorlda lies quite near ruined Fort Caswell, 'ibis Is Smith's island, or Bald Head island, which, by reference to a map, will lie found to pro ject nearer the gulf stream than any other land on the continent. The result is that it is subtropical, the palmetto reaching a height of thirty feet or more, growing in profusion, whilw the olive and the myrtle are abundant. A greater peculiarity is that, frost does not affect vegetation on the Island, which is about four miles long and three wide. On it is a lighthouse built lu 1817, and a life saving stniion. Extending across it is a heavy earth work, built by Hie eqnfederates in 1.861, now a vast line of sand banks. The place is a hunter’s paradise six months of the year. Tin- island was recently purchased for 000 by a who will build a hotel and utilize tic: great forest of live oak and palmetto as a game preserve. The island is a oit of Florida anchored off the North Caro lina coast. For two centuries wrecks havo occurred along this stretch of coast and looking sea ward there are more signs of partially sub merged blockade runners which came to grief. Money is frequently exposed by the wash ing away of tin- beach. One night in 1854 a party landed there and. digging a dole hid $175,000 in gold. Ever since, this has been searched for Bishop Atticus G. Haygood, writing from Oxford, tells a little story wliieh points a moral, lie writes: “Tom Edwards lives in three miles of Ox ford.

I saw fruit trees, well kept; a beautiful vineyard of an acre or more and full of grapes; along a ditch a row of fig trees, a long, low shelter for tunny colonies of bees, good barns in good shape, a pretty herd of grade Jerseys, fat and sleek, and grass in the meadows to keep them: stocked fish ponds, from wliieh they catch fish for the table.
