But ho Justified this action on the ground that he could do ber no good by "hangln 1 round" and that his room was bettor than J bis company. Now, however, be must usaffju ioco in a siern uujuuuuBu. and "do for her" until bo should be re llovod by Mania. After washing tho break fast dishes ho concluded that the dreaded entry Into tho sickroom could be no longer deferred, balancing owkwardly on bis tiptoes, bo opened tbo sitting room door and then paused to listen. Tbe moans and deep drawn sighs which oamo from the east bedroom struok him with a sense of terror. Tho cloud of Mrs. Totman's funeral had not wholly lifted Its black pall from his heart and groansof bis mother brought bask the Samel picture with redoubled distinctness. Ho was almost afraid to pro ceed and tak tbo first look at tho sufferer, ills heart thumped with well nigh audlhlo throbs as a deep silence followed tbe ex prcBslons of pain. Then he know that he must go forward, and ho picked his steps across tho rng carpet more softly than ever before. WDM be reached the big rooking chair, he settled down Into Its chintz cov i red tl. ptlis. limp as tho dishcloth which ho had Just hung over the ovon door. Ills mother luy upon her baok, a wblto olotb Coload across her eyes and her brown hatr, ulwuys so smooth and glossy, straggling over the pillow In confusion. Tho air of tho room was heavy with tbo smell of herbs and pungent with the odor of cam phor. About tlm tlixjr and lied wore scat tered shis'S ami garments, while In a chair, close by her pillow, were heuped tho cloths with which her head hod boon bound dur ing tho night. Tho strange disorder of tho place sent dismay to bis soul, but tbe par tially covered face and tbe awful stillness if his mother caused him to start from his chair and watch tho comfortable above hor breast. It moved. With tho assurance that she was hruathlng ho ugaln settled iuto'tho chair. A feeling of fearful ami overmastering hi 1 h smm -s took po.ssesslon of him us he s it there ut the foot of tbe bed, his eyes wandering from tbe pallid features of his mother to tlm faded array of ancestral phoaogropbj WiUoh bung In oval frames ni ne the headlsiard. .Suddenly It canio to him that all thuso weie dead, Mrs. Tut mini was dead, all the people slnco Adam, with tbe exception of a few old folks and those who were getting old, were dead. ih oompered the living with the mighty multitude uf those who had passed Into tho block shadow of tho gravo, and tho number scciuetl Infinitesimal!' small. Perhaps his mother might g it well this time shu always had, and his father did nut seem to bo badly scared but some time she must die. And so wuuld Maine and his father and Chit Then ho wuuld bo left alone In tho world. And nothing nothing 'bat could bo done would help It any. Softly bo turncdabout In theehalr and slid down until his knees touched the Hour and hi fnco was burled in tho chintz cushion. Silently, but with an Inner frenzy' of earnestness, ho prayod that his mm her might got well this time. Ills fulth could not compass more than this limited petition. As he arose from his knees his eyes caught tho motto, worked In perforated rardboard with red, gr.cn and blue zophyrs, which hung above tho bureau. It proclaimed the Scriptural assuranuo that ''God Is K -. c. " A hopeless, lethargic con viction that theso words wero not truostolo Into the boy's consciousness. Ho had been taught that Uod uiado all that was made It had I ecu In tho golden text of tho Sun day school lesson. II had learned It by heart und Elder Jennings, his Sunday school (, a. her. and his mother had all ex pounded Its truthfulness without reserva tion. In his paroxysm of Ingenuous doubt tho country boy Wondered why Uod hud Hindu headaches for his mother to have, why there was so much mora of pain and siitTerlng and death In tho world than of joy. And If tiod didn't muko these aw ful things, who dldr Ho was very Bure that If his mothor had made the world sho would havo left out sick headache and that sho would not have hud any sin or death In It. There Would have I . en no need fur buys to bo afraid In any world that his mother would have made. In fancy ho tried to realize tbe Joys of living In n world whero all of then things were unknown and where utiu might bo truly happy and know that Il was going to "last right on," just as in beaven i only without having to dlo to got thenv lint this flight uf I mag I nut Ion only mnilu tho gloom and despair uf tho present seem more awful by contrast. Ho felt , that ho could novor bo happy again and I that there was no use trying to do any thing. Ills eye traced each curvo utid wrinkle of his mother's face, and ho re solved that, anyway, ho would always stay ut home with his niother, toku care of her Slid shield hor from everything hard that be could. Yes, ho wuuld give up gulug to IM KocMes to mint gruzllos with Chet everything! Be would sacrifice all just to stand by ber and holp to make Itetisier fur mother. In the midst of these resolves she star tled blm by lifting tho damp cloth from ber sytB and exclaiming In a strained voice 1 "Why, I've been asleep an tho pain's ' k Mamo to make me a little gn i In ro und i this old cloth away."

I suMnatltmM tho night wind, phi' w .til her golden balr, would blow It iv rose my lac.s and I always felt a thrill of pleasure run through mo when I fall their silken cares. Then at length I had looked deep down Into my heart and had read there tbut I loved her. Hut I was unablo to tell her that this was tho case. 1 was held buck by a strong, an Instinctive, sense of del icacy, by an Involuntary respect. Her big bluo eyes revealed such naivete and such Innocence that It scorned to me simply sacrilegious to speak to this child of such things, and I therefore kept sllont Hut soon afterward, with what seemed to mo a strange suddenness, tbo child grew Into a young girl, and tho Annie of old, with her long skirts, ber golden ourls tied up In a knot upon her head and a twinkle of mischief and coquetry In her big blue eyes, was now a young woman. Sho possessed all tho graces, all the charms and oil tho attractions of hor box, and when In her company I felt like a timid, awkward schoolboy. When wo were aluno In the evening up on the wldo termce. I held my peace aud was afraid to spook for fear of awokenlng In the still night air that rippling, little, scornful laugh of bers, and It was only to tbo shooting stars and meteorites that I dared to sigh my love. It was then decid ed tbut I was to go to Paris to pursue my law studies. It was my last evening at Ormes, and I was going away on tbe fol lowing day. As usual, wo wero together upon tho lawn. She hud never seemed so beautiful to mo before, so seductive and else so af fectionate, for, affected ut tho Idoa of our separation, sho hod said such nlco things to me that, although they were insignifi cant enough In tbemselvos, yet, coming from her, bod cngruved themselves forever In iny heart. Fighting against tho trembling of my volco, I told to her: "Annie, In a year, wben my holidays enmo round again, I shall be at your sld unco more looking at the stars. You will think of mo from time to tlmof" For answer she laughed her light, rip pling little laugh, wltb that toiidi of scorn In It, and lisjkod up at mo with saucy, shining eyes. Then a meteor shot suddenly across tho sky above our beads, and I tunk Annie's hand in mine nnd said In n serious vulcc: "It Is said, Annie, that when one has a i to moke II should bo mad.) while a meteor tlalm along the sky. I have Just wished something, nnd I la poth.it h. Ion long It muy be fulfilled!" Did sbo understand? Her little hand trembled e' er H little In mlno, hut thore wero no slns .f I mo- Bon In ber ryes or on her Hps. It sot mud to mo perhaps 1 was mistaken In tho un certain light that I saw a spliinxllke smile on her mouth, and I said nothing more to her that night on the subject su eh - to my heart. I went to 1'arls and dcrut.d myself to my studies with nil the energy of ray na ture. Sly leisure time l ipent dreaming In luy little w. rk" ; r, Had I wanted other infractions there were plenty of tl.em, but 1 had made up my mind to resist all the usual tempta tions of my age, and I should have despised myself had I wasted my thoughts on any thing or anybody i Isa than Annie. I never ceased thinking about my little golden haired girl end aw aited With feverish lui patience the approaching rammer, which was fixed fur my return to Ormes. I began to enjoy tho pleasure of return In advance. I saw myself walking with Annie again on the soft green terraces, holding her hand In mlno and saying to her In the tlurkiicsa which wuuld conccid my blushes: "Annie, a year ago I registered a wish beneath theso stars that you might one day lovo mo as I love you and have loved you nil my llfu. You will wait another year for me, Annie, wun't yuu? And then wo will never bo separated again." Closing my eyes, I Imagined I saw my swoot fiances drop her head upon my shoulder and allow me to Imprint a chaste kiss upon her white forehead. This was my only pleasure and the only dream that I Indulged In during tho long hours of my work In Paris. At length this much longed for summer had come, and I was going buck toUrmos. Annie was thore, more charming, more ravishing than ever, aud In her eyes I saw gleaming a gnyoty and happiness that seemed to mo a sure sign that shu wus pleased at my return and had given me her lovo. The night came, and in a calm, uncon cerned vulee I asked her to cumo out and look nt tho stars. "Will you come and seo If thero nro any falling stnrs tonight?" I nsked her. Sho followed mo out upon the terrace, and when unco again by her sldo I experi enced a sort of giddiness. My heart began to beat ns If It would break, und never be fore had I felt my lovo so strong, so vio lent, so Irresistible. She was every thing to mo my little friend of childhood, tho sweetheart of my early manhood. All my aspirations were toward her, und sho was my w hole being, my very life. I would have knelt nt her foot In tho night on tho terrace and have kissed with (uisslonato tears tho laco uf her long dress. 1 attempted to speak, but In vain. Tho words dletl away upon my lips. It was sho who first spoke, and In tho deep silence Of that beautiful summer night I heard ber sweet voice say to me: "I am so happy now that you hTo corao borne again. 1 have been waltinir for vnn to tell you myself a very important pleco Of news namely, that M.

It is Ilk Is- that only tbo evaporator will be iuu, operating mainly on pnn b, apples and pears. The cherry crop will not bo handled by the goat pauy, but It is uuderatood that outelde partite will eblp, as Inquirlee regard ing the possibility of getting several cur loude here have already been ie celved by fruit and commission men of tbe city. Tboe fcTegar la mak ing arrangements to secure a etrlctly cash market lor cherries, und will make an announcement to "growers iu a few days. The pruue crop will of course be the largest iu tbe county. Growers esti mate a - i per cent larger crop this year than In 1807. From figures compiled by shippers it Ib learned Ibat during tbe season of 1897, 480,000 pounds of green prunes were shipped from the county, and 2 SiO.OOO pounds of green prunes dried, reducing I i weight dur ing tbe process of evaporation to 080, 000 pounds. This would make the 1808 estimate of green fruit reach 3,600, 000 pounds. As these figures are ex clusive of home consumption, it might not he ton much to say that the 1898 crop will reach a total of 4,600,000 pound. All over tbe county tbe or chards are iu fine form, aud an extra quality of fruit will be produced. Ow itig to tiie heavy production the Fiench or Petite prunes may be smaller than usual, but tbe quality will not be im paired, and the rcceut rains will prob ably bring tbein up tn usual Bize. On other frultB, apples, pears, peach es, clu rric, nnd tbe smaller varieties, striuvlierries, blackberries, etc, it is not possible to make an estimate of produc tion 'bat would bear tbe stamp of accu racy, but the output is gradually in creasing and has already passed tbe bounds of home consumption.
