ll(B iyjl x x Copyright. 1901. by Charles W. Hoolce (Continued.) While I hesitated, a little brecsie fpraiig up troin me south. The bow or my boat was high, and she swung upon her stern as on a pivot, pointing toward the shore and making way in that direction. I put strength upon my oar, but too late. There was a reef in the Witherspoon lake, and I struck it. The iron shoe of the boat grated upon the rocks with a singularly long and harsh sound. It seemed to me that a man-of-war might have gone aground and made less noise. I was 50 yards from the shore, but perhaps the girl did not know it. My boat may have been quite invisible to her. Indeed, if she were directly behind the fire it must have been. If the sound of the keel upon the rock were exaggerated to her, as it was to me, she may well have believed that I was much closer to the land. Whatever she saw or believed, the result was the worst possible. The fire 4 Mil" SP1 l I... .'I l" IWW She swung upon her stem as on a pivot. suddenly disappeai-ed, though by what means.it was thus extinguished in an instant I could not guess. A thousand sparks shot up into the air, and then all was dark. I seemed to see a gray figure moving along the face of the granite wall, but it may have been a creature of my imagination. The question was of little importance. The incident had closed with the extinction of the beacon. Never did mariner curse the Inchcape rock not even Sir Ralph the Rover, who cut off the bell and then foundered there for the lack of it as I cursed the ledge in Water Witch lake. My boat had suffered no damage, but a summer night's romance had met disastrous wreck. CHAPTER IX. ROSES AND LILIES. 1 riuu a genneman nas serejw I naded a lady in the evening, it is polite to send her flowers next day. Reflecting upon this matter while eating my morning meal, it came into my mind that there might be a florist's garden somewhere in that region. Indeed I seemed to remember the shining roof of a greenhouse beside the road from the city. After breakfast I sought information of Jimmy, who was sitting in a corner of the principal Witherspoon porch and staring at nothing with the air of one who understood it perfectly, who knew why it was nothing and could create it out of something whenever the universe should run short. "A place where you can buy flowers?" said Jimmy. .'M-m-m." He had caught this sound from Mrs. Witherspoon and had modified it in accord with his own nature. As uttered by him and accompanied by slow nodding of the head it meant: "So this man wants to buy flowers? Well, well! This is just what I expected." "There's two or three of them around here," said he. "I'll think which is the best. I've got to go into the house now, but I'll be right back. Will you be here?" In an earlier stage of my acquaintance with Jimmy I should have accepted this statement at its face value; but, having gained a knowledge of his methods, I perceived the truth, which was that he had no idea where there was a florist, and was going into the house to find some one who could enlighten him. It was Immaterial to me, so I sat down in the porch to wait for him. Half a dozen of the boarders came out while I was there, more indeed than I had ever encountered before In so short a space of time. Among them was the blue eyed girl who sat In my part of the dining room, though rarely when I was there, for the Witherspoon boarders differed remarkably In their gastronomic habits. She had a shawl, a sun umbrella and a portly volume, which was the "Life and Let- i ters" of somebody whose name my eye did not make out. probably because I had never heard of him. In spite of her somber taste In literature, it seemed to me that the girl might yet be saved, for she gave me a ! very human glance out of the corners of her pretty eyes as she went past. I j was vaguely wondering what that , glance would have done to me if I had not been so deeply interested in two other girls, or possibly three, as Sibyl

Hy . . . Hobvard ridding tnignt not be the orchard nymph four, indeed, counting Miss Jones, who was almost certainly the prettiest of all when there was a sound of footsteps in the hall and Mrs. Witherspoon appeared with her niece. The lady of the house did not pause, but pursued her way to the garden, carrying the enormous tin pan in wbfeb she gathered for our delectation the finest vegetables ever grown on earth. Lucy Ami, however, was not upon the same errand, and I succeeded in detaining her. "My goodness!" she exclaimed when I had asked her about the florist. "What do you want to buy flowers for? The prettiest roses that ever you saw grow right around here." "But you can't get American Realities and that sort of thing," I obj-ected. "They're American enough to suit me," said Lucy Ann with decision, "and I'm what they call a jingo. American? Well, I should like to know who imported them, and as for their beauty you ought to see them. Of course I know that you mean a particular kind of rose, but the idea of your wanting bought flowers!" "I think women as a rule prefer that kind," said I, "unless the posies come out of a private garden where, of course, they actually cost more." "Oh," she said, "you're going to give them to somebody." "I don't care much for flowers," I replied with palpable evasion. "At the academy where I fitted for college the head master was a crank on botany, and he kept us pulling flowers to pieces until we lost all respect for them; grew to hate them, in fact and him. I'll never forgive the rascal. By forcing my inclinations he spoiled a part of my appreciation of nature. Ciosar s ghost!" The exclamation was sudden and seemingly uncalled for, and Lucy Ann opened her gray eyes in surprise.' "I beg your pardon," said I. "Speaking of botany reminded me of. something." "It's a gentle subject, I should say," responded Lucy Ann. "I don't see anything in it to make a person swear." "You're a Puritan," said I, "or a Quakeress. I didn't swear, though the idea was really startling. Where did you say your aunt's garden was?" "It's way off over there," she replied, waving her hand in an indefinite fashion toward the upper end of the lake.i "About how far?" I inquired. She gave me a quick, keen glance. "Why do you want to know?" she queried. "The day that I arrived," said I, "your aunt came in from the garden with a pan of peas. As a botanist, you understand, not as a boarder, I would like to see the warm corner of Michigan where peas attain that size in the middle of June." Lucy Ann bent forward so that her face was hidden by the edge of the gray sunbonnet. I observed that her hands, which were clothed in the remarkable gloves that she had worn the first time I saw her, were somewhat tightly clinched. I began to laugh. "You won't say anything about this," she said, looking up. "Promise me you won't." "I cross my heart," said I. "Well, then," she whispered, leaning forward, "my aunt hasn't any garden. What's the use? It doesn't make any difference how nice stuff one can raise In a garden, there's always somebody who can raise better somebody who makes a profession of it. My aunt says that this is the age of specialists. Her boarders are very select; they wouldn't stand amateur vegetables. That's the way she puts it." "But they stand amateur cake," said I, "and T will fight any three men in Michigan who dare to assert that it isn't the best in the world." "Bless your heart!" exclaimed Lucy Ann. "I'm not an amateur. I've studied at the best cooking schools in Chicago. I can show you my diplomas." "Nothing could add weight to your word," said I, "not even the cake itself, for that's too light. But about this garden" "You'd have guessed anyway," she said. "I had to tell you. My aunt goes across to the other road and meets a market wagon. It comes out from the best market in St. Jo. and the man who keeps it buys an extra fine quality of everything for her. He knows just where to send for things. Our boarders don't understand botany; they're city people. Why, my. aunt went out the other day into that strip of woods and came back with some cantaloupes from North Carolina, and Miss What's-her-name I've forgotten; the blue eyed girl who went out a few minutes agoput one of them up to her face and said: 'How lovely! It is still cool with the dew.' I suppose the marketman had had it on ice. But it was a good cantaloupe just the same." "Your aunt is a genius." said I, with deep feeling; "I knew it as soon as I saw the most approved modern springs on the antique bedstead in my room." "I doubt if the bedstead's any older than the springs." said Lucy Ann. "We try to be up to date in everything." "Your aunt's business principles are up to date; I'll make oath to that," said I. "And now for the flowers. Have you any wjld rose bushes with Jacque

minots spliced on t the branches" "I thought you were going to give them to a lady," said Lucy Ann after a thoughtful pause. VSueh was my Intpntion." (To be continued.) '

Inflammatory Rheumatism Cured. William Shaffere, a brakeman of Dennison, Ohio, was confined to his bed for several weeks with inflammatory rheumatism. "I used many remedies' he says. "Finally I sent to McCaw's drug store for a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, at which time I was unable to use hand or foot, and in one week's time was able to go to work as happy as a clam."

POLITICAL GOSSIP

The Situation In the Eleventh Dl trlct Attracts Attention. Indianapolis, March 30. Will MaJ. Steele who was defeated for the Republican congressional nomination In the Eleventh district be a candidate for United States senator in case a successor is to be chosen to Charles W. Fairbanks? This question Just now is receiving a great deal of attention from politicians. In the minds of most local followers of the political game there is little doubt that Senator Fairbanks will be the nominee for vice-president. This being the case they are anxious to size up the candidates for his seat in the senate. Already many names have been mentioned and while Maj. Steele has never been pushed prominently to the front as a possibility. In the past consideration of candidates it is felt In many quarters that he will be a power to be reckoned with if a new senator is to be chosen. The fact that he has just met with defeat In his own district would seem perhaps to put him out of the running, but it is believed that the case is otherwise. Some shrewd politicians here believe the long conference between Steele, and Fred Landis at Logansport Monday night was in regard to this very subject. That an agreement whereby the Eleventh district is to be lined up solidly for Steele was the result of the meeting is generally believed. If this plan is carried out it will , also mean the burying of the hatchet by other politicians and that Landis and Steele will work to capture the gubernatorial nomination for Warren Sayre of Wabash. This would bring all former factions into a combine to secure Landis' continuance in congress, Steele for the senate and Sayre for governor. The cause of civic improvement in this city has just been given a bis boost by the declaration of Vice-President Davis of the water company that in the repairing of the canal bed which was drained through the breaking of the aqueduct a few days ago the company proposes to take into consideration the question of making the canal region a thing of beauty as well as of service. The company will dredges the bed deeper and wider and the dykes will be widened. These dykes will then be beautified by turning them into glass plots ornamented with flower beds and dotted with trees. In tha past the canal region has for the most part been anything but beautiful. It ran through a poor part of the city where small cabins of negroes were located to a great extent and where filth and squalor prevailed. Since the company will be compelled to make a considerable outlay on repairs it will go further and spend several thousand dollars to make it beautiful' at the same time. With the incentive given by the action of the water company the civic improvement association is hopeful of securing the, co-operation of many other citizens. As many peppje will be forced to make extensive repairs to efface the marks of the flood they will be asked to take additional steps at the time such work is being done to add to the beauty of their homes. A situation that promises to bring on a warm legal struggle has developed in this city as a result of the recent flood and as there are issues involved that are of interest to every city in the state where there has been any street paving done a good many people will eagerly watch the outcome. The pavements here have all been laid with a guarantee by the companies to keep them in repair for specified terms which Usually range from five to ten years. In the flood of the Washington street district last Friday blocks and blocks of wooden pavements were washed out by .the waters. The city has notified the contractors who put down the streets that they will be required to repair the damage as the guarantees have not expired. The companies will resist making the repairs and a legal fight is likely to be the outcome. The companies will contend that their guarantee is not meant to cover anything like a general washout of the pavements owing to a flood and will fight the effort to make them do the work. In some cases the repairs to a single street would probably cost $25,000 so that enough is Involved to make the fight mean something. In the report on the conditions of state banks which has just been completed by Deputy State Auditor D. J. Mendenhall are to be found some interesting statistics. In the last year twenty-seven new stat'e banks have been started bringing the total up to 148. There has been a notable increase as well in the capitalization and in the amount of deposits carried. The capitalization is now nearly a million dollars greater than in March a year ago. At that time the figures showed $5,034,700 while this year it is $6,009,750. The increase in deposits which go to show the condition of the people to a great extent has been even greater. The deposits now amount to $23,444,983.73 as against $21,240,591.95 in 1903. Week's Fight in Prospect. Springfield, III., March 30. The Joint scale committee of the operators and miners settled the Franklin county scale (a county in which the mines have been developed since last June) by fixing the rate at forty-five cents per ton. The miners wanted forty-, eight cents, but finally gave in. Franklin county having been disposed of, this left only the scale for the first, or northern district, In controversy, and this was referred to a sub-committee. The prospects still favor a , week's fight .
