44J never knew before. " she said to
T1C On morning , "what alovely month
.sScptomber is. The red and. gold , the
. russet brown and deep crimson of the
trees , are even more beautiful than
their green leaves ; and I like Septern-
ber flowers better than these which
come in spring ; there is nothing so
lovely as.the white chrysanthemum. "
Poor child ! 1 knew afterwards why
ihe found September the fairest of
: months. Again , we had driven one
noon to Ashton Firs , taking with us
lunchcon for the sporLsmen. We
stood for some minutes watching the
. sunlight on the valley , and the blue
. haze on the distant hills. She turned
to me suddenly , her eyes filled with
- tears.
"Oh , Audrey , " she said , "what a
- ICautjful world it is ! I never knew
until now. I seem to have slept
through my life , and to be just awak-
ening. Do you sec the green of the
grass and the lovely blue of the sky ?
t Why , Audrey , I never knew how much
' ) music there was in a bird's song. I
. never knew what the brook sung
about , or the wind told to the trees ,
? until now. "
Au , my dear , my dear ! neither you
nor I was wise enough to know what
- was teaching you.
: One evening-it was the month of
Scptemb3r and the moon was shining
. bright as day in the midst of a dark-
blue sky-the gentlemen sat longer
than usual over their wine. The night
was warm and pleasant.
"Audrey , " said Lady Latimer , "let
us go as far as the whit9 gate just to
look at the river. "
I wrapped a black lace shawl round
her golden head and white shoulders ,
, ' and we went out together , leaving the
shining lights that streamed from the
great windows , and the dim. soft
shadow of the old house behind us ,
down past the lime trees , to the white
gate that was canopied with trees.
'Open it , Audrey , and let us go
down to the water's edge , " said Lady
1 Latimer.
We went , and I remember as though
1 it were yesterday , our shadows on the
. ) .d , long grass , and the wooin sigh of the
I " wind in the fast-dying lime leaves.
' The moon shone full over the river ,
every wavelet seemed to catch a ray
I of silvery light ; the sight was beauti-
I Lful as fairy-land. Lady Latimor stood.
( . silent for some minutes ; then in a low ,
soft voice she began the lines :
) . .
.I without the
passed city gate ,
I : linered by the way.
The palm was bendIn. to her mate ,
. And thus I heard her say :
1 ' "The arrow to the quIver
And the wild bird to the tree :
I , The stream to meet the river ,
And the river to theses
The waves are wedded on the beach ,
, The shadows on the lea
And like to like-and each to each ,
'S ' \ S And I-to thee
t . ' The cedar on the mountain ,
it And the bramble in the br.the
I The willow by the fountain ,
L And the lily by the lake :
.
The serpent ceiling in its lair ,
Tne ealo soarln free.
i : Draw kin to kin. and pair to pair ,
And I-too thee. '
"The palm was bending to her mate ,
I marked her meaning well :
g And passed within the c1tr gate ,
The old fond tale to tell"
- "I can remember , Audrey , " she
: Laid , "when I iead those lines , and
they were so much Greek to me. Now
( I understand them perfectly. They

"And what has given light and sight
. to your eyes now ? " I asked.
lcould not resist the question , al-
' 1 thoucrli I knew it would huve been so
! much better left alone ; but he looked
I .at me'with calm , sweet eyes.

But the words were never finished.
, I . Quito suddenly the whit gate opened ,
, and we heard .a voice that made. my
heart beat , say :
' "You are here , L1y Latimer.

and Miss Level have gone to loofr at
the moonlight. "
"I , ofcourse , " interrupted LionRi ,
"said at once , 'Lot us find them. ' And
we have found you. "
'rilore was one moment of delicious
sileico , when it seemed. to me that the
very moonlight throbbed and thrilled
on the air.
"We need not hurry in , " said
Colonel North. "Several of them are
coining. A stroll by the river on this
moonlight night will be much bette ?
than sitting in a drawing-room by the
light of lamps ! "
Then came half an hour that was
like time stolen from Paradise. It
seemed quite natural that Captain
Fleming should walk by my side , even
more natural that Colonel North
should walk with Lady Latimer.
Othert joine'J us , but no one broke up
these little groups ; no ofle came to
me , no one joined Lady Latimer.
We talked about everything bright
and beautiful ; of the river that rolled
on to the sea , of the moon that shone
in the sky , of the wind whose
whispers were those of a lover among
the leaves Then I perceived that
Colonel North and Lady Lati-
iner were standing by the rustic
bridge which spanned. the river. The
black lace shawl had fallen , leaving
her golden head bare , and her lovely
face all washed. by the moonlight.
She looked wondrously faii Captain
Fleming was looking at them.
4Th.tt a beautiful pair they would
make , " he said , suddenly. "Colonel
Noi'th is my ideal of a soldier , and
Lady Latimer is one of the fairest of
women. "
Indeed , the dark , soldierly face and.
figure showed to great advantage by
the side of the fair and radiant woman.
We remained out-of-doors nearly an
hour. I went with Captain Fleming
to the square-of fountains. They were
I indescribably beautiful under the light
I of the harvest moon , and I am afraid
t we forgot every one else. I did. It
was the night of nights to inc. But
when we caine back to the drawing-
room Lady Latimer was there. The
beautiful tenor voice of Colonel North
was ringing through the room , and.
she stood by the window listening ,
with a dreamy smile on her fair face ,
and these were the words that he
sung :
'SNot much I sou 'hi. I had my dream-
Dear love. your very words I quote-
A rose. the ripple ot a str.am ,
A bluesky and a boat
l3ut roses fade a rocs blow.
And summer skie can lower and frown
The stream runs deep and dark , and so
This teat of ours wont do.vn
She smiled. as she listened. to the
words , then , lightly touching a yellow
rose that she vore on her breast , she
said :
"Roses fade as roses blow , but this
one will never die. "
"Who gave it to you ? " I asked.
"Colonel North , " she answered ; and
I saw all heaven in her face as she uttered -
tered the words. Then-then I knew
all.
CHAPTER VIII.
I then knew all. I knew that she
had found the something missing in
her life , that she had learned what
the birds sung about and the wind
whispered to blossom and leaf , what
the waves said when they broke on
the shore. She had. learned. the great
secret of life , which was love ; but she
did not know it-ah ! thank God. for
that.
She would tiot have looked so happy ,
so bright , so innocent , if he had.
known what had. happened to herself.
She did not know ; that was my chief
cause for gratitude. The knowledge
might come to her , but it had not
done so yet , and I vowed to myself
that if I could I would guard her from
it. She had entered fairyhmd , but
she was ill unconscious that she had
passed. the golden gate. She had his-
tened to the songs of Paradise , but
shedid not krow they had sounded. in
her ears. She had drunk of the chalice -
ice which is all foam , but she had not
recognized its flavor. She saw suddenly -
denly , and as she had never seen it
before , all the beauty and brightness
of the world , but she did not know
what had opened her eyes. I prayed
heaven she never might.
She was so innocently happy , the
expression on her face was one of glad
content ; even Lord Latimer noticed it
at last.
"It seems to me , Grace , " he said to
I her one morning , "that yu have
grown better looking. "
I thought to myself , "Oh , blind of
eyes , blind of heart , not to utider-
stand. " Surely , any one who loved.
her might have seen the danger she
was in ; so young , so fair , with such a
passionate , loving heart , and left entirely -
tirely to her own resources-for Lord
Latimer spent very little time with.
his guests. lb had grown older and.
more feeble lately , and as life slipped. I
I away and he lost his grasp of its I
pleasures , ho grew morose and more
stern. lie liked Lionel Fleming , and
he spent a great deal of time in talking -
ing to him ; but he never went out
with the sportsmen , he never joimied.
the luncheon parties. He dined every
evening with his guests , but lie never
appeared in the drawing room after
dinner. She was loft , then , to her-
self. to the influence of the sweet , sad
music and the harvest moqn. There
was no one to say , "Do not let Colonel
North sing your heart away ; " no one
to say , "Do not go out every evening
while the harvest moon is shining ; "
no one seemed to notice anything but
me. Lady Latimer was mistress of
the house , Colonel North the most important -
portant guest in it. It was natural
that he should walk and ride by her
side , that he should be her escort ,
that he should make her the especial
objectof his attentions ; but it was not
natural that ho , sbould 1ook at her ,
when he was singing , with his whole
heart In his eyes , and that every
night , while the harvest moon was
shining , be should ask her to go down
:
S .
- -
- - - - -
sj.ndlook at the riverwith him ; nor
was it quite natural that ho should
gather all the flowers she wore , and
talk so much poetry to her. I thought
often of her simple words to me ,
"How nice it must be to have some
one to say loving words to you and
bring you nica flowers ! " She had
both now-flowers and words.
I tried my bosh to take care of her.
I often sacrificed the time I might
have spent with Captain Fleming in
sitting beside her , trying to take some
little of her attention from Colonel
North. ' 1 might as well have tried to
Ily over. the moon ; but , thank heaven !
no one saw it except me.
The boys loved Colonel North. He
was their beau-ideal of a soldier , a
gentleman , and a "man who had no
nonsense about him , " which was Bob's
favorite description of him. Give
them half an hour with the colonel ,
and they were quite happy. ' 'Ho
knows how to treat a boy ; there is no
make-believe about him , " they said.
To my wonder , astonishment. indignation -
tion and dismay , they preferred. him.
to the heir of Lorton's Cray. They
all wanted to be "tall as the colonel ,
handsome as the colonel , and just as
upright. " In fact , the colonel was
the hero of the hour. Captain Fleming -
ing came next , but , as Bob irreverently -
ently expressed it , lie was not "real
jam. "
During this happy month of September -
tember , Lord Latimor did not forgot
my father and. mother. Every day
there was a dispatch of game from the
hull to the vicarage , and every week ,
at least , they joined us at dinner.
They saw nothing of what troubled. me
so gi'eatly ; my sweet mother would
not have understood such a thing.
'rhey considered. Colonel North a king
among men-so brave , so gallant , so
courteous ; they quoted him and admired -
mired him. He was a Chevalier Bay-
ard in their eyes , but they preferred
Captain Fleming.
One night , when they dined at Lor-
ton's Cray , I sat next to Captain Fleming -
ing at dinner.0 talked , a usual ,
laughed and amused ourselves ; a rose
that I had been wearing was transplanted -
planted to the buttonhole of his coat.
After dinner he talked to me again.
Ve had dancing that evening and he
danced with me. I am not quite sure
whether I remembered the existence
of any other person. When the evening -
ning ended I saw an expjession of
anxiety on my mother's face. She
called me to her side in the great entrance -
trance hall , and , raising her face to
mine , she looked straight into my eyes.
"Audrey , " she said , "for the first time
in my life I am anxious over you. I
am not quite sure if I have done a
wise thing in letting y tm come to live
here. My dear , the heir of Lortons
Cray is a very handsome young man. "
"He is as good. and brave as ho is
handsome , mother , " I replied.
Her face cleared a little ; this open
praise disarmed her.
"FTc seems to like talking to you ,
Audrey , " she continued ; "but , of
course , my dear child , you always
bear in mind the difference in your
positions. You have too much sense ,
Audrey , to let your mind get filled
with absurd ideas. I-I should netlike
like you to be made unhappy because
I am not here to look after you ; it
would imbitter my whole life. "
I smiled. I had never hoped , I had
never thought of hope , so that I could
safely look in my mother's face and
smile.
I took her to the great hail wijidow ,
; vhence we could see the stars shining
in the sky. I pointed. to the brightest
and the largest.
r "Do you see that star , mother ? " I
asked.
"Yes , " she answered.
"I should sooner think of asking it
to come down from heaven to me than
of filling my mind with foolish ideas
about Captain Fleming. "

luTIST IIAVE ABILITY.
THE SUCCESSFUL WOMAN
STENOGRAPHER.
A Business That Brings Large ItetUTflS
and ReqWres More Than Mechanical
Skill-A Compliment Cost fler a Sitna-
tion.
The commonly accepted Idea that the
women who fill positions of stenographers -
phers are usually women of low-grade
business ability , and that their work Is
wholly and simply mechanical , may be
very easily dispelled by looking Into the
daily affairs and experiences of some
of those who are employed in hotels
and other large and public buildings of
this city.
The hotel stenographers of St. Louis
are said to be above the average representative -
sentative women of the craft , and this
belief has very good grounds upon which
to rest , for they are , for the most part ,
women who have had umcIent business
experience to make them fully capable
to handle correspondence of all sorts ;
and , indeed , this is an absolutely necessary -
sary qualification for the woman who
wishes to be successful in this particular -
lar line of stenographic work.
Tue dictation that comes to the hotel
stenographer is as varied as could p05-
sibly be imagined , says the St. Louis
Republic. One day perhaps she may
take down what the patent medicine
man says about his "sugar-coated'
pills , amid the next day , or the next hour
even , from the lips of the orator , who is ,
or the orator who would like to be ,
distinguished for elegant and polished
speech , a harangue that it keeps her
wits as well as her pencil busy trying
to follow.
The commercial traveler who sells a1
grades of wine , the iron merchant who
has a thousand and one names for as
many different ores , and , n fact , men
who represent every kind of business
under the sun , hurriedly dictate their
letters. and expect , too , that they shall
be properly transcribed on the type-
writer. To do this the typewriter must
be more or less familiar with the typical
terms of each line of business , as well
as knowing how to spell and punctuate
correctly. More than an ordinary
amount of common sense and good
judgment must also be possessed and
exercised.
If in the haste of taking notes a word
Is omitted , the stenographer must be
intelligent enough to know how to supply -
ply it , for it Is not always possible to
refer such matters back to the dictator
until it Is too late to complete the letter
for the particular outgoing mail it may
have been intended to catch.
There is yet another thing that the
stenograher in public office needs almost -
most as much as she does a thorough
knowledge of business , and that Is tact.
It would never do for her to hand back
a letter to the man who had dictated It
and tell him any little error he may
discover is his own. The only way for
her to get out of such a thing as this is
to graciously admit that more than likely -
ly she misunderstood him. If it is his
own error and he knows it , he may not
admit to her that It was , but he all the
more admires her generosity in shouldering -
dering the blame , and remembers her ,
most profitably to herself , when he
needs further stenographic work done.
Then there is a strange social phase
of life that comes more before the notice
of women in this particular line of work ,
perhaps , than in any other , and this ,
too , she must school herself to meet.
"Has it ever occurred to you , " said
one of these bright typists who has a
desk in one of the largest hotels of the
city , "how very many men there are so
unfortunate as to be unhappily mar-
ned ? That is , according to the stories
the poor fellows seem so willing to in-
filet we poor hotel stenographers with. "
If the last man who had told this
sensible little woman his "tale of woe"
had been near to see the mirth it had
provoked , he would , no doubt , have
been ashamed to think he had proved
such a poor judge of human nature for
one and woven such a weak bit of sentimentality -
mentality for her to only laugh over.
In the office of a wealthy business
corporation , not long ago , the chief
clerk found it necessary to dictate a letter -
ter to the lady stenographer that was
afterward to be passed into the hands
of the manager for signature. He good-
naturedly accepted the task he had
found so agreeable , and promptly pro-
ceecled with it. Standing behind her
chair he began his dictation. All went
well until the letter was about half way
completed , then the gentleman , who had
his eyes fixed on the young lady's soft ,
wavy coil of hair , thought he would pay
her a nice little compliment.
"What very pretty hair you have ,
Miss Blank. "
Miss Blank smiled , but said nothing.
The letter was finished and handed to
time manager. He , glancing over it , din-
covered a sentence entirely foreign to
the subject matter of the epistle , in the
very middle of the page. When Miss
Blank was called in to explain she
opened her big blue eyes in a sort of
wondering fashion and said :
"Why , I only put down just what Mr.
Brown said. "
Miss Blank was excused from further
explanation , but the quality and quantity -
tity of laughter that was thrust upon
Mr. Brown was more than that gentleman -
man could stand , and it soon became a
question as to who should give up a
position and leave the office-he or Miss
Blank ; and the matter finally term- !
nated when Miss Blank quietly handed
in her resignation.
The women who have their desks In
hotels or office buildings pay a certain
percentage or bonus for the privilege ,
and spend as many hours a day or night
there as they may see fit. As a rule
they find it necessary to remain until
quite late , for a great deal of their dictation -
tion is given after business hours , seas
as to have it ready by the morning of
the next day.
It is quite the exception now to go to
any city and fail to fiud a stenographer
in all the large hotels and public build-
ings. Women have found that if they
have the ability they can make these
positions pay them better than the ortli- I
nary salary received by Stenographers
In individual offices.

Tobacco In South Carolina.
Ten years ago not a pound of tobacCo -
Co was grown .in South Carolina for
market. There were stray patches
here and there. and forehanded people
in some of the upper counties of the
state possibly produced enough c a not
superior quality to supply a strictly
home demand , but tobacco growing as
a money making industry was tin-
known in the state. Last year 1,000-
000 pounds of tobacco of the best van-
eties and some of the finest quality
were grown and sold in the county of
Darlington alone. The acreage devoted - '
ted to the cultivation of the plant was
not 5 per cent of the acreage devoted
to the cultivation of cotton , yet the
value of the tobacco product was 16
per cent of the value of all the cotton
raised in the county. The money value
of the tobacco crop of the county was
$120,000.-Charleston News and Cour-

ed a rotation suited especially in the
north part of that state : 1. 'rhat grass
is the best crop on the farm. 2. To
maintain the fertility of the soil without -
out grass is practically impossible. 1.
That no more than one-third the farm
should be under the plow at one time.
4 , That a rotation of crops for six
years is the best for our county. .
'l'he rotation should be as follows : ' .l'wo
years in corn , one year in oats , two
years in meadow , one year in pasture.
6. That a permanent pasture made on
the native sod is best. 7. A pasture
that will not pasture one grown animal
on 134 acres is incomplete. 8. The
level country in corn is preferable. 9.
That shallow cultivation is recoin-
mended when time land is first in good
order.
