The moment Mra. Maaou entered the

Mra. Maaoa very quietly remarked that
If Mary wlabed to go to Mount Holyoke

no eiplauatlon until Jenny had bidden
her gond-by and gone. Then aba learn

hundred dollar from a man Io Boaton,
who had year before owed It to her hue

"And tow," aald Mm. Maaoa, "there la

exclaimed Itoae Lincoln, aa from tbt win
Iowa of tha crowded vehicle lu which
they had come f.-om tha car ahe flrat ob
tained a view of the not very baadaome
rlllac of South Hadley.
Kuae waa la the woret of hiimore, for
by aomt mlwhanct Mary waa on tht
itime teat with ncreelf, and consequently
ahe waa very much diatreaaed and crowd-
ed, Hhe, however, felt A little Afraid of
Auat Martha, who ahe aaw waa Inclined
to favor the object of her wrath, ao aha
restrained her fault-finding aplrlt until
he arrived at South Hadley, where ev

The furniture of the parlor waa alio
vary offenlve to the young lady. And
when M1A Lyoa CAmt Io to meet them
ahe, too, waa Aecretly Atyled "A prim,
fuMy, allppery-tongued old maid." Jenny,
however, who alwaya aaw the bright Aid
of everything, waa completely chArmed
with the eweet Atulle and placid face.
After anm conversation between MlM
Lyon and Aunt Martha It waa decided
that Boae and Jenny ahould room toireth

"And who waa mm "' '
taking Mary' hot handa between her
own. .
In a few word Mary related her blf
tory, omitting her acquaintance with
Ueorge Moreiand, and commencing at the
night when her mother died. Ida waa
warm-hearted and affectionate, and cared
but little whether one were rich or poor
ir an liked them. From the tint h had
been intereattd la Mary, and now wind
Inn bar arm about her neck, and klaaing
away her tear, ahe proinlaed to love hi
and to be to her aa true and faithful
friend aa Jenny. Thla Dromlae, which
waa never broken, wa of great benefit to
Mary, drawing to her aid many of the
beat glrla In tchool, who noon learned
to love her for heraelf, and not because
the wealthy Mlaa golden teemed ao fond
of her.
Boon after Mary went to Mount Hol
yoke she bad received a letter from Billy,
In which he txpreued bl pleasure that
he wa at Acbool, but Added that the
fact of her being there interfered great
ly with hla plan of educating her hltn-
eir. "Mother a 111 health, aald be, "pre
vented me from doing anything until now,
and Juat aa I am io a fair way to accora

thlngton't law office aa clerk, hoping that
when tha proper time arrlvea I euall not
be defeated in another plan which wa
formed In boyhood, and which baa become
tbt great object of my life.
Mary felt perplexed and troubled.
Bllly'a letter of late had been more like
thoet of lover tbaa a brother, and aba
could not help tueeslng the nature of
"the plan formed in boyhood." She knew
ahe ahould never love him except with a
AlterA love, tod though she could not
tell bim so ber next letter lacked the tone
of affection with which ahe waa accus
tomed to write, tod waa on tht whole t
rather formal affair. Billy, who readily
perceived tht change, attributed it to the
right cause, and from that time bis let
tera became tar leaa cheerful than naual.
Mary uanally cried over tbem, wishing
more than once that Billy would trana-
fer hla affection from heraelf to Jenny,
and It waa for thla reason, perhapa, that
without ttopplng to couslder the propri
ety of the matter, ahe first aaked Jenny
to writ to him, and then encouraged her
in answering hla notea, which became
gradually longer and longer, until at lt
hla letter wert addressed to Jenny, while
the notea they contained wert directed to
Maryl
CIIAPTEIt XIII.
Rapidly the daya paaaed on at Mount
Holyoke. Autumn faded Into winter,
whoa Icy breath floated for a time over
tht mountain tope, and then melted away
at tht approach of apring, which, with
tta swelling buds aad early flowers, gave
way in Us torp to the long bright daya of
summer. And bow only a few week re
mained ere the Annual examination at
which Ida waa to be graduated.
Neither Boae nor Jenny were to return
tha next year, aad nothing but Mr. Lin
coln's firmneaa and good aense had pre
vented tbelr being aent for when their
mother flrat beard that they bad failed
to enter the middle class. Mra. Lincoln'
mortification waa undoubtedly greatly In
creased from the fact that the despised
Mary bad entered ia advance of her
daughter. "Things are coming to a pret
ty pas," ald ahe. "Yea, a pretty paMi
but I might have known better than to
aend my children to auch a eehool."
She Insisted tinea tending for Rose
and Jenny, but Mr. Lincoln promptly re
plied that they abould not come borne.
Still, aa Boae eeemed discontented, com
plaining that ao much exercise made her
aide and shoulder ache, and Aa Jenny
did not wish to remain another year tin
leaa Mary did, ht contented that they
abould leart eehool at th close of the
term, on condition that they went ome
where else.
"I shall never make anything of Hen
ry," aaid he, "but my daughtera ahall
receive every advantage, and perhapa one
or the other of them will comfort my old
age.
lie bad ipoken truly with regard to
Henry, who waa studying, or pretending
to atudy, law in the aame office with Billy
Bender. But hi father heard ao favor
able account of him, and from time to
time large billa were preaented. 80 It
ia no wondor the disappointed father
sighed, and tamed to hla daughtera for
the oomfort hia only eon refused to give.
For the examination at Mount Holyoke
great preparation were being made.
Hose, knowing she wa not to return,
teemed to think all further effort on her
part unnecessary: and numcroua were th
reprimands, to ay nothing of the black
mark which ahe received. Jenny, on the
contrary, aald ahe wished to retrieve her
reputation for tnslneas, and leave behind
a good linpreaslon. Bo, never before in
her whole life had she behaved ao well,
or atudled a hard a ahe did during the
lust few weeka of her atay at Mount Hol
yoke. Ida, who wa expecting her fath
er, aunt aud cousin to bt present at th
anniversary, wa o engrossed with her
atudle that ah did not observe now
aad and low-spirited Mary seemed, cue
had tasted of knowledge and now thirst
ed for more: but It could not t; tne
fund were txhaustcd, and ahe must leave
tht achool, never perhnpa to return again.
"How much I ahall mlaa my music, and
how much I ahall miss yon," aht aald one
day to Ida, who waa giving ber a lesson.
"It's too bad you haven't A piano," re
turned Ida, "you are au fond of it, aud
imnrove o fast I" Then after a moment,
ahe added, "I have a plan to propose, and
may aa well do It now aa at any time.
Next winter yon must apend with me In
Rnaton. Annt Martha and I arranged It
the last time I waa at home, and we even
selected your room, which la next to
mine, and opposite to Aunt Martha'a.
Now. what doea your ladyship tay to It?"
"She saya aha can t go, anawerea
Mary. ... .. ...
Can't go!" repeated Ida. - nny now
Jenny will be In the city, and you Are
alwny happy where tht it; besides, you j
will hart rart chance tor taking muala
teaeon of our beat teachers; and thea,
too, you will be in the aamt house with
George, and that alona I worth going t
Boston for, I think,"
Ida little auspected that her Inst argu
ment wa tbt strongest objection to
Mary't going, for, much aht wished
to meet ti forge again, ah felt that aht
would not on any account go to hla home,
leat be abould think ahe eamt on pur
pose to pet him. Tbert wert other rea
son, too, why ha did not wish to go,
Henry and Itose Lincoln would both be
io the city, and abe, knew that neither
of tbem would scruple to do or say any
thing which tbey thought would annoy
ber, Mra. Mason, too, missed her, and
longed to have ber at home; ao ahe resist
ed all Ida'a entreaties, and tbt next let
ter which went to Aunt Martha carried
her refuaal.
In a day or two Mary received two let
ten, one from Billy and one from Mrt.
Mason, tbt latter of which contained
money for the payment of ber bills; but,
on offering It to tbe principal, how waa
he atirprlsed to learn that her bill had
not ouly been regularly paid and receipt
ed, but that ample fund wert provided
for tbe defraying of her expenaea during
tht coming year. A faint alckness atole
over Mary, for the Instantly thought of
Billy Bender, aad tbe obligation ab
would now bt under to him forever. Then
it occurred to her bow impossible it waa
that he ahould have tamed ao much In
to short a time; and at toon aa abt could
trust her voice to Apeak, ahe aaked who
it waa that had thua befriended her.
Tbe preceptress waa not at liberty to
tell, and with a aecret suspicion of Aunt
Martha, Mary returned to her room to
read the other letter, which waa atill un
opened. Her bead grew dizzy, and her
spirit faint, as ahe read the passionate
outpouring of a heart which bad cherish
ed her image for year, and which,
though fearful of rejection, would atill
tell her how much he waa beloved. "It
I no udden fancy," aaid he. "Once,
Mary, I believed my affection for yon
returned, but now yon are changed. Your
letters are brief and cold, and when I
look around for the cause I am led to
fear that I waa deceived in thinking 70a
ever loved me. If I am mistaken, tell
me o; but If I am cot, if yon can never
be my wife, I will acbool myself to think
of you at a brother would think of aa
only and darling sinter."
For aeveral daya Mary bad not been
well, and the excitement produced by
Billy'a letter tended to Increase her 111
neaa. During the hours In which ahe waa
lone that day abe had ample time for
reflection, and before night abe wrott a
letter to Billy, la which ahe told him how
Impossible It waa for her to be the wife
of one whom she had alwaya lortd aa an
own and dear brother. Thla letter cauaed
Mary so much effort, and ao many bitter
tears, that for several daya ahe continued
worse, and at last gave up all hope of be
ing present at the examination.
"Oh, It'a too badr aaid Ida, "for I do
want you to tee Cousin George, and I
know he'll be disappointed, too, for I
never aaw anything like tht intereat bt
takes in you."
A few daya afterward, aa Mary waa
lying thinking of Billy, and wondering if
she bad done right In writing to mm aa
ahe did, Jenny came rushing in, wild
with delight.
Her father wa downstair, together
with Ida' father, Ueorge and Aunt Mar
tha. "Most the first thing I did," aaid
the, "waa to Inquire after Billy Benderl
I gueaa Aunt Martha -waa ahocked, for
she looked so queer. George laughed.
and Mr. Selden aaid he was doing well.
aud waa one of the finest young men la
Boaton." , '
During tha whole of George'a atay at
Mount Holyoke Boat managed to keep
him at her aide, entertaining htm occa
sionally with nnklnd remarks concerning
Mary, who, abe aald, wa undoubtedly
feigning her sickness ao aa not to appear
In ber classea where ahe knew ahe could
do heraelf no credit; "but," aaid Ahe, "aa
soon aa the examination la over she'll get
well faat enough and bother na with her
company at Chicopee."
In this Bose waa mistaken, for whea
the exercises cloaed Mary waa atill too ill
to ride, and It waa decided that aha
should remain a few day until Mra. Ma
son could come for her. With many teara
Ida and Jenny bade their young friend
good-hy, but Hose, when asked to go np
and aee her, turned away disdainfully,
amusing herself during their absence by
talking and laughing with George More
land. Tbe room In which Mary lay command
ed a view of tha yard and gateway; and
after Aunt Martha, Ida And Jenny had
left, ahe arose, and stealing to the win
dow, looked out upoo the company aa
they departed. She could readily divine
which waa Ueorge Moreiand, tor Koat
Lincoln's ahawl and satchel were thrown
over hla arm, while Boae hermit walked
close to his elbow, apparently engrossing
hia whole attention. Once ht- turned
around, but fearful of being observed.
Mary drew back behind the window cur
tain, and tbua lost a view of his face.
(To be continued.) ,
Zulu of the Hailroads.
'Do you know wbat a Zulu Is?" said
an old railroad man. Tbe traveling man
who waa waiting for his train smiled
In a way that waa meant to Indicate
he knew all tbe species of Zulus that
ever existed, and told the railroad man
about the Africans, called Zulus,, who
maintained that continent's reputation
for fighting before tha Boers stepped
In.
Little was doing In the railroad
man's line lust then, so he listened.
"Well, they may be Zulus all right
enough," he remarked, "but they art
not the sort of Zulus that travel on
railroads. There Is the kind that runs
Into these yards," and be pointed down
tbe track, where a box car stood.
A atone pipe protruded through a
hole In the door. The pipe was at an
angle of about 89 degrees. A cloud
of smoke waa coming from It. Four
blooded horses and a man were the oc
cupants of that. Tht man was the
Zulu. Taking care of valuable stock
en route from one market to another
was his business. He was a type of
class that railroad men 00 every lint
haev named the Zulus. They fit up the
center of tbe cars for sort of living
room, and there In the midst of their
animals live as happily aa the road's

SWEPT TO DEATH,
Twt Hundred Live Lett bt a West Virginia
Rala Storm and Flood.
Blueflelds, W, Va., June 24. This
section has just been visited by a
flood, the extent of which in all prob
ability will equal or exceed that of
Johnstown in 1889, so far. as the loss
of property is concerned. Early yes
terday morning, shortly after mid
night, heavy downpour of rain be
gan, accompanied by a severe electric
storm, which increased ia volume,
continuing for several hours. The
storm continued throughout the
entire night and day and at 10 A. M.,
though the storm had abated, the
lowering clouds threatened another
terrific downpour at any moment.
Many miles of the Norfolk & West
ern railroad track, bridges and tele
graph lines are entirely destroyed
and communication is entirely cut
off west of Elkhorn, so that it is im
possible to learn the full extent of the
loss of life and property, but officials
of the coal companies located in the
district have sent out messengers to
Elkhorn, the terminus of both tele
graphic and railroad communication,
and have received a report that a con
servative estimate as to the loss of
life will easily reach 200. Some of
the drowned are among the most
prominent citizens of the coal fields.
The little town of Keystone, with
a , population of 2,000, seems the
greatest sufferer, practically the entire
town being washed away. This town
is the principal one in the Pocahon
tas coal fields, and is located near its
center. It was to a great extent the
headquarters from which the mining
population purchased supplies.
A great . number of the coal and
coke plants throughout the Pc?abon
tas district are reported practically
destroyed and are in some instances
entirely washed away. Owing to the
high water which has flooded the dis
trict and prevents communication,
anything like a correct estimate of
the loss of property is impossible, but
from the best information obtainable
the loss to the property will easily
reach $2,000,000.
A rough estimate places the num
ber of bridges washed away between
Blueflelds and Vivian Yards, a dis
tance of 28 miles, at from 15 to 20,
and from present indications it will
be impossible to run trains through
to Vivian and points west of there
under a week or 10 days. This will
render it impossible to get relief into
the stricken districts, and with those
who escaped -with their lives, home
less and without food, indescribable
suffering is inevitable.

VICTIMS OF EXPLOSION.
Thrtt Man War Killed and Fivt Others
..... InfurtaV '
Kalama, Wash., June 21, Three
men were killed and five others in
jured by the premature explosion of
a blast on the Oregon dc Washington
Railroad. The scene of the accident
was in a deep cut about half a mile
south of this place. -
The cause of the explosion will per
haps never be known, as the men who
were working at the drill hole were
instantly killed. About 25 men were
working in the cut, and from the sur
vivors it was learned that two men
were loading a 12 foot drill hole with
No. 2 giant powder, and had put in
about 100 sticks. - It is supposed
that they had just been tamping the
powder with an iron bar, as they had
sometimes done before, when the ex
plosion occurred.
Americans Invade th Rand.
London, June 25. -The Johannes
burg correspondent of the Daily Mail
contributes a long letter to his paper,
in which he describes the American
trade inavsion of the Rand, aided, he
alleges, by British apathy. The cor
respondent asserts that Americans
are quietly buying up shares and
pushing their efforts in every direc
tion. He saya that practically all
the mining machinery is already
American and refers to a rumor to
the effect that there is an American
movement to capture all the poorer
Rand mines.
Invasion of Cap Colony.
London, June 25. Lord Kitchener
has sent no report of the Waterkloopf
mishap. Recent events in Cape
Colony seem to prove the Boer inva
sion of that country to be serious.
A letter to the Dmly Mail, dated
Cape Town. June 5, confirms the
pro-Boer report and says the invaders
number anything from 7,000 to 10,
000 ; that they are swarming all over
the eastern and midland districts and '
getting rocruits'and horses, J

PORTLAND WILL CELEBRATE.
President Did Not Com But -Tht Fourth"
1 Cemint; and There Will Bt a Big Tim.
The enthusiasm which Portland ex
pected to expend in the entertain
ment of the president and party has
been bottled up and will be let loose
in the celebration of the Fourth of
July. While the committee which
is engaged in arranging for the cele
bration is not doing much talking, it
is earnestly and energetically at work
on its plans, and will have several
very large surprises in store for Port
landers and visitors on Independence
Day. The fact that cheap railroad
fares will be provided on all lines
into the city will doubtless prove an
incentive to many residents of the
neighboring cities to come in and
help celebrate, and they are promised
a reception which they will long re
member. Bands from various outside towns
will help to furnish the music, and
all societies of whatever character are
invited to take part in the parade.
L. D. Cole, chairman of the adver
tising committee is working hard to
let the residents of sister cities know
that they will be welcome, and he t
gays that the city will probably enter
tain more guests during the celebra
tion than at any time in her history.
