Mr. Dalrymple and his companion had.
been on the ground in the morning, 11nd
had returned in the aft ernoon, as the
former was feverishly interested in the
play of young Morton -the son of his
friend, the captain of the club. A see-
ond time they walked round the course
and watched each drive, each Afield
stroke in the more difffieult task of
putting. At length, amid loud .e.heerieg,
young Kenneth Morton was declared
the winner, having made the round in
eighty-three, an unusually low score.
Every one crowded to congratulate
the winner, who was a great favorite,
and RA soon as Mr. Dalrymple had con-
gratulated him on his succors. and clap-
ped him on the shoulder, he introduced
his friend,

der such favorable eircum-
stanees. 'He has never had a chance of
seeing the game before" be said.
"I hope you will join our ranks," re-
plied the young man. courteously.
"There's more play in the game than
you would think."
"I see that," returned Carrington.
"Where's your father, Kenneth?" cried
Dalrymple.
"Ile has just gone into the club -house.'
"Come along, then, I want to intro-
duce Carrington to him; he is quite a
stranger here, and I am obliged to leave
by the next train."
"I'm sure my father will be delighted,"
young Morton was beginning, when oth-
er and more noisy sympathizers claimed
his attention.
"Comeon" said Dalrymple, "I haven't
much time jto spare, If I can catch old
Leslie Morton he'll do all you want and
set you in the right Way."
"I am infinitely obliged to you," Car-
rington began. when he suddenly inter-
rupted himself, "Look Dalrymple, do
you see those ladies coming .down the
steps, from the club? They were my
travelling companions yesterday,"
"By George! Anti that man in the
dark kniekerboeker suit, walking beside
the lady in gray, is Sir Frederic Morton
-no end of a scamp, unless he is terribly
belied; as to the lady, you don't see such
style every day. She moves like a thor-
oughbred."
Carrington made no reply. His eyes
vere riveted on Mrs. Pane, -with the
ame searching, questioning glance he
had first fixed upon her. She was talk -

"I beg your pardon," and, he tried to
open the door with the in-
tention of retreating; hut the lock was
stiff, and white he attempted, to turn
the handle, a shrill whistle sounded and
they were off.
"I am exceedingly sorry for my intru-

his eyes, which abundant beard and
moustache prevented from showing on
hi a lips, and he teed:. a seat next the oh-
durate door, as far as possible front
the lady who had addressed him, His
voice, though deep ael harsh, was never-
theless refilled. It mennel to attract the
attention of anteater lady, who was com-
fortably enseeneed in the opposite cor-
ner, and nearly hidden behind a, news-
paper.
"Pray do not tremble yourself about
it, "she said, smiling. "Twenty- minutes
will end our journey." She lay down her
paper as she spoke, and looked with calm
scrutiny at the offender.
As their eyes met, the smile died out
of his, and was replaced by an expression
of intense, displeased observittion. Yet
the face and form which attracted his
notice were pleasant to the eye, and sug-
gestive to the imagination. A pair of
velvety brown eyes gazed at him frank-
ly, wide opened and clear of their long
lashes, a delicate, but firm, red -lipped
mouth was still slightly parted, and a
stray lock or two of ripe chestnut -col-
ored hair curled, tendril -like, over the
edge of a dark velvet toque, which
matched an admirably fitting tweed tra-
velling dress, artistic in its simplicity.
Nevettheless, the lady was no regular
beauty; decidedly tip -tilted nose, and a
colorless, though clear, soft complehime
were drawbacks -which some dear friends
considered insuperable; while others, less
sound in judgment, pronounced these de-
fects infinitely more charming than
faultlessness of feature. She was not
very young either; that is, she had left
her teens behind her, and might have
been five or six -and -twenty; there was
the composure of some experience and
an assured position In her quiet pose
and steady eyes.
"Tie trains are so crowded•at this
season, and there is so little time al-
lowed for changing, that one Is glad to
jump in anywhere," said the stranger,
who did not seem in the least embar-
rassed by a sense of being unwelcome.
And the -white-haired lady with some
dignity, and much animation, exclaimed:
"These Scotch lines are exceedingly ill -
managed. The guards are most negligent
and the inastifficiency of porters most an-
noying. I have never found travelling
more unpleasant than in Scotland."
"I suppose the staff is seldom quite
equal to the demands of the busy time,'
:said the intruder, mechanically, as he
watched the newspaper behind which the
young lady had again sheltered herself,
as if on the qui vivo for another glance
at her face.
"There is mismanagement somewhere,"
asserted the first speaker, with a, "can
you deny it?" air, and then the two
were silent' for some time.
The younger lady presently lay down
her paper, and at in though with
downcast eyes. Seen thus, there
was a pathetic look in her face,
for which her spelling, intelligent ex-
pression, when speaking or smiling, did
not prepare you. Their unwelcome com-
panion gazed at her as if lost in con-
templation; but there was nothing ad-
miring or presumptuous in his eyes, and
when she suddesily raised hers, he look-
ed away immediately. His notice did
not appear to disturb her.
"/ fancy we are almost at our jour -
• end, I see a few houses and a
spire or two," she exclaimed, presently.
"Well, so far, I don't see much beau-
ty!" cried the other lady. "I suppose
that long, melancholy stretch of green,
with the hillocks between it and the
sea, are the links Sir Frederic told us
of! There are some men in red coats
standing about," and she began to fold
up the papers and collect the books.
A few minutes later the train slack-
ened speed, and came to a standstill,
tickets were collected, and they were
slowly propelled into the little shed -like
station, which was the unworthy halt-
ing place for the ancient, learned and
picturesque city of St. Cuthberts-the
home of golf -the seat of a university,
the favorite bathing place of the neigh-
boring county families, of Edinburgh
lawyers, and even of successful Caledon-
fans, weary with the battle of life in
distant London town,
"Aht there are Sir Frederic and Miss
Onslow," eried the white-haired lady,
standing up and waving her hand. The
next moment they had stopped, and a
gentleman, a fashionable, good-looking
at
man, picturesquely got up in knicker-
boers and a, deerstalker's hat, was
opening the door, and greeting the new
artivals with great warmth, an unmis-
takable look of pleasure it, his sleepy
blue eyes.
"You are quite half an hour behind
time; it is past six! But that is noth-
ing new on this line. How do, Mrs. Bay-
ley? You are looking better than ever!
It is quite reviving to see you both."
While he spoke he assisted the ladies
to alight. Their companion was at the
further tide of the carriage front the
platform, and when he got out he dis-
covered his fellow -travellers the centre
of an animated group, while a smart
lady's maid and a broad -faced German
courier proceeded to collect and remove
the various properties which littered the
carriage.
Time man who had been so nearly
ejected from it, stood still with a puz-
zled look for a, minute, then he followed
the two servants to the luggage van,
and, while securing his own portmanteau,
read the name on the boxes they were
elitiminge-"Mrs. 0. Pane, St. Cuthberts,

walked briskly towards the new Royal

Meanwhile,the ladies so warmly wen

"Dearest Mrs. Pane, how very good
of you to come round all this way to
see me!" cried Miss Onslow, a bright.
gager -looking girl, not pretty, but lady-
like and pleasing. "I scarcely hoped
you would grant my request."
"I was very glad to come" said Mrs.
Fane, kissing her kindly, but glancing
round to see what had become of their
fellow -traveller. "I fancy this is a nice
old place to spend a week in."
"It is, indeed, Let me introduce my
dear uncle. Dr. Methvin, to you."
She motioned to a thin, gray-haired
obi gentleman, with a massive head and
a kindly face, who bowed and raised his
hat, greeting his niece's but
with old-
fashioned but well-bred cordiality.
"We have been fortunate in securing a
pleasant suite of rooms for you, and as
soon as we have inducted you we hsali
leave you to the repose you no doubt
need," he said.
"I was greatly surprised to hear you
had, appeared in these remote regions,"
said Mrs. Pane to Sir Frederick, when
she had courteously thanked the old
peofessor for his attention.
"Were you?" elevating his eyebrows.
"Well, I am rather surprised to find my-
self here. It some seven or eight
years since I visited this scene. You
know I am a Drumshire man; but, alas!
parted with all my interest in the county
long ago -threw the cargo overboard to
keep the ship afloat in stress of weather,
eh?" he laughed pleasantly,
"Well, I am glad you are here. You
must be out guide, philosopher and friend
in this strange country."
"Oh! here Is your pnilosopher," ex-
claimed Sir Frederic, waving his hand
towards Dr. Metlivin. "In him you will
find unfathomed depths of knowledge
and wisdom, I only ask to be the humble
but devoted friends."
"Then I am right royally peovided,"
said Mrs. Fane, as she moved on be-
tween Miss Onslow and her uncle, fol-
lowed by Mrs. Bayley and Sir Frederic
Morton.
"Well, and how have you been carrying
on the war since we parted?" asked the
former, turning her keen black eyes on
her companion.
"I have been keeping within my en-
trenchments, though not retrenehing, and
I can tell you time is nearly up with me.
Your notion of a rendezvous at this
quaint corner is first rate. It will go
hard, but between us we will contrive
some telling coup before we part. How
deucedly well she'll looking!" with a nod ,
in the direction of Mrs. Pane. "I don't ;
know what it is in her, but I never lost
my head in the same way about anyone 4
else, and yet there are times when I '
hate her!"
"Oh, if you go into heroics, I'll have
nothing to do with you. Common sense
and fixed purpose are the only levers to N
lift you out of youi difficulties." A
"And your help, most thorough -going

The Ponta Trade.
Peanuts have become an important
article of American foreign commerce
in the last six years, especially on the
import aide, in spite of the fact that we
produce about 12,000,600 bushels a year
Peanut imports have grown in value
front $6,000 in 1900 to $500,000 this year,
while our exports thereof will approxi-
mate $300,000. When this fiscal year
closes we shall have to list peanuts for
nearly $1,000,000 of our total foreign
commerce for the year, according to the
. Bureau of Statistics of the Department
of Commerce and Labor.
The peanut acreage in this country in-
.
creased 150 per cent., and production 23$
per cent., between 1800 and 1900. There
are under cultivation now 617,000 acres,
' producing 11,905,000 bushels. The crop
is concentrated in a few southern States,
'Virginia supplying one-third of it, North
Carolina another third. -

When the Spaniards built the city of
Panama to be the greet port of their

walls which they expected to save them
from raiders ot all sorts. Although these
walls were built by natives forced to

"I am looking," :said the King, "for
those costly walls of Panama. They
ought to be visible even at this dis-

Threw Away Millions. :
"I well remember when I was a boy
that our farmers eonsidered the seed 'of
cotton positive nuisance and of no earth-
ly account," said T, B. Bison, of Texas.
"Year after year these despised seeds
were thrown away by people who were
ignorant that at some .future day they
would add millions of dollars to the value
of the cotton crop of the South. I shud-
der to think of the vast sum that was
lost to our section ere tide was ascer-
tained. Nowadays the planter regards
his seeds as a big asset, for they bring
him at present prices not less than $12
a ton. All over the South cottonseed oil
mills have been put up, all of which are
snaking good money for their owners.
They not only get a valuable oil, worth
55 cents a gallon, but after its extraction
produce a Mai from the kernel that it
made into cakes and exported to all the
markets of the world. This meal is one

Not a Christian Science Goat.
Harold's mother was a devout follower
of natural science. The two were crossing
a field while in the country and. when
the lad saw a goat in the distance he
shielded himself instietively behind his
parent's skirt.
"Herold, I'm ashamed. of you," she
told him. "Don't you know there is no
such thing as pain and that the goat
can't hurt you?"
"Y -yes," he admitted -timidly. "I know
it and you know it, but the goat don't
know it." -Chicago Tribune.
