Char- .tte, on a four-horse stage to Wades-V ,010. as the C. C. railroad had not then been completed to Charlotte. He drove to her aunt's where she met her mother, he told her good bye, engag ing -i carriage to take him and his? trunk down to the ferry where VUncle Inn. so giau to see mm, put mm I acioss the river. - ; . i ;;: Two weeks later "Major Glenn re tLiiueil from Washington, and one aiternoon while the Major, Mrs Glenn and Leon were sitting in the summer iiouse at the river, the conversation tinned as to the future plans of Leon. :.iaior Glenn told him that he had a law landed estate, which at that time was paying handsomely, all of which tume day would tte his, and that he i!id not see the necessity of profes sions, as he there could render himself useful to his country and spend a happy life. Leon had long sought such an op loitunity when he could find' his lather in so happy a frame of mind. hum said, " lather, you have been txtit niely kind, have gratified every wish of mine, now it is within your power to render me forever happy Will you do it? Will you give your consent, dear father?" Certainly son, if it is in my power to do so I would not withhold any thing that would contribute to the happiness of my only, my idolized son. What on earth can it be? Well, father I love one woman the only woman on earth I ever loved, or ever will love. We are engaged to be married. Will you consent lather?" Who on earth can it be?" I love her devotedly father, it was she who disguised as a "trained nurse" and waited on me while sick at college. You remember It is Lucile Snell, father" Major Glenn would not have been more confused if a cannon had been hied ti viin ambush. He replied that he should have his answer tomorrow, and suggested that the approaching night air, might be too cool for Mrs. Glenn, who had recently been. Quite feeble. They returned to the residence, Leon hissed bis mother and passed up to his room, seated at his window overlook ing the historic Pee Dee river, "he couid see the light in the window of Lucile's room across the river on the Anson side. Major and Mrs Glenn seated on the poarch, where they continued to dis cuss the recent revelations of the after noon. Major Glenn remarked, "Well! the very thing that I have labored to pre vent, about to happen! Who would have thought it?" "True love never runs smooth" remarked Mrs. Glenn, "You remember your own romantic experience." A bright thought seemed to strike the Major's brain, when he said, wonder if Leon, would not like to take a European trip and visit our relatives in Scotland?" "I have a few surplus thousand dol lars in the hands of my cotton factors, in New York and could 'well afford to grant him this pleasure. "I don't know" replied Mrs. Glenn, ' I have frequently heard Leon ex press a desire to visit the old world." "I will speak to him concerning this trip tomorrow," said Major Glenn. Major Glenn spent a sleepless night. He walked the gravel lawn until after the midnight hour, ever 'and anow coming into the library, when Mrs. Glenn, who all the while knew of the love affair, and did naught to inter rupt it, for she was one of those old line Presbyterians who believed "what is to be will be," (and she wanted this to be) attempted to reconcile her hus band by telling him that these innocent young people were not parties to his Lad Col. Snell's troubles, and that their Laziness should not be intercepted in order to appease his wrath. She told him cf the sweet disposition of Lucile, how cultured and accomplished, ana that she really believed that Leon and Lucile were intended for each, other, and what "God had decreed could not be prevented by man." While Major Glenn was pacing the walk between his mansion and the summer house near the river, he passed near several of the negro cabins that formed a "quarter" down towards the river. Old Aunt Gincy, who was quietly fitting in front of her cabin door, in the moonshine burning ra?3 .- n order to drive away the swarms of mosquitoes that had bred in the river swamp and tail cotton and corn surrounding, her rude little home. She said to old Uncle Tom, "Marster's mind trouble him to night, spec Mars Snell's spirit a'rter him." Uncle Tom with his characteristic, "humph" 'spec some dem dead yankees, iir Viginny 'stunfin hes mind," while old Uncle Reubin, who was the niiller and often had occasion to be at the mill at night, remarked, "Nuthing of the sout, Marster' getting ready to saddle one dem big Klu Klux white horses, and some politic nigger : or meddlesome white trash, will be mold ing in de dust 'for day." Leon walked down stairs about ,10 o'clock found his mother alone in her fitting room.and asked if his father had retired.. His mother informed him of his confusion, and told Leon of the pro position his father had in store for him the next morning.. So when the proposition came Leon was not unpre pared for it.Hft returned upstairs to his room, after again kissing his mother i ?ood night. But Leon did not go iu fileep.he had interpreted correctly his father purpose, and had by this time decided to aceptf the t proposition, though at first he was inclined trt re-R-nt th; attempt to interfere with his happiness. in fact the cook waited breakfast for ; me entire family, as Major uieuu um . . .. ,c. hofrvrf ' not close nis eyes uum j" " , lav When thev had finished break-1 L - !v?en tney n .

Your foiother tells me that your wardrobe is ready, and there is no reason for delay. Can you be ready to leave this afternoon?" Leon had anticipated this hurried arrangement and had written at length, the previous night, to Lucile explain ing the situation fully., therefore Leon answered promptly, that he would be ready. His father told him that he wum suppiememnt his wardrobe in ew York, and that he would give him a draft on his commission house in New York for all the necessary money to defray his expenses. Everything was in confusion at the Glenn mansion on tiat beautiful sum mer day. Leon had written Lucile that his father had planned the trip for the specific purpose of breaking off the engagement, that, that afternoon, he had discussed the subject of their mar riage with his father, and had told him that she was the one, and only one, he ever loved, and begged him to re lent and give his consent to their mar riage. He had promised an answer the next day, but his mother having in formed him of his fathers intentions, he was, before hand, prepared to notify her and arrange for the future. He told ler how, widly and passionately he loved her, and how much he dis liked Xo leave her, but he thought it best under the circumstances, and ad vised her to visit a cousin in Tampa ioriaa, so nis letters to her would not be discovered by the home people, as the two families received their mail at the same office of Li . Lucile fully understood the situation, not for one moment doubtins Leon's fidility, but at once commenced, the preparation for her Florida visit, first unfolding the entire scheme to her mother, who had a nephew living with her, and had made that his home for the past several years. The horses and carriage ready, with Caleb the carriage driver snapping his whip, while the rested animals pranced at the gate. The good bye's had been said, Major Glenn standing on the front porch waved a happy farewell as the carriage turned the bend in the road before reaching the ffery when '.'Uncle 1 Jim" put theHroyer 'as -Leon tossed him a silver dollar, when the faithful old servant said "God bless you, Mars Leon, may you return safe and sound." Mrs. Glenn was having a good cry over the departure of her son and only child. They had to pass by the Snell home stead in order to reach the station of L and Leon told Caleb to stop at the gate, when Leon alighted hur ridly entered the mansion for the first time since his childhood. Lucile met him with tearful eyes, and con ducted him into the parlor, but lie could spend but a few short moments, as the train for Wilmington'was nearly due, besides he did not know but his father would be on the lookout to see if he had stopped at the Snell home. Lucile had already received his letter sent by one of the servants early in the morning. She vept and he wept like children, but he told her that he would soon return never to leave her again. Lucile clung to him, as if she would detain him, they embraced each other, and more genuine or heaven born kisses were never imported. He also kissed Mrs. Snell and called her mother as he said good bye. As they crossed the railroad near the depot the train blew the station signal a ticket purchased, trunk checked to Wilmington and soon he was left to his own reflections. At Wilmington he spent the night, writing from the hotel a short letter to his father, and a long one to Lucile. Next morning he boarded the train for New York, where he arrived without accident. In New York he had to wait three days before the steamer he wished to take passage on left. Leon spent the time in sight seeing, after replenishing his already full wardrobe. Messrs. Fenner, Bennett & Co., his father's commission merchants gave him $500 in cash and arranged for Europ ean exchange to the amount of one thousand dollars. . The steamer left New' York well loaded with passengers, among whom were several parties of young people seeking pleasure, which rendered the ocean passage of unusua) interest and a most joyous occasion. On the 6th day the steamer landed at Liverpool, where Leon disembarked, passed the custom agents and was soon at his English hotel. Leon proceeded to write several letters to the United States, the long est of them all being to his mother and Lucile, who by that time i wa s in Tampa, Florida. After spending a few days in London, xeuii Glasgow where he visited his aunt, at the old homestead. She was nearly gO'years of age, quite feeble, but made a re-ular ' demonstration over her Western nephew.

She promised unreservedly to made him heir to her entire estate, provided he would remain with her the remainder of her life. He would not promise, but received her consent to visit Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain and Portugal. CHAPTER V. : Joined at Last. Leon's first installment of mail from the United States contained several leters from home, three or four from class-mates, one from : Dr. Craven, president o Trinity College, congratu lating him on his good fortune to visit Europe, mentioning several places he jiivutu noii rv line 1.11. tiit; iaai. j.ixjxi.& a who had arrived at Tampa at her cousins, who was a prominent whole sale fish merchant, worth many thou sand dollars, although having been married fifteen years had no children, and was delighted to have Lucile as a companion for his wife. Many enter tainments were provided for her, but her thoughts and affection were be yond the broad Atlantic Ocean. At the expiration of six months Leon began to plan for his return home ward trip, notwyithstanding his aunts tempting offer, and his father's pri vate letter to her urging her to en deavor to retain him, at least until he would form new attachments, or until Lucile wyould get tired of wyoiting for him, and would accept some one of the many suitors who were crazy to win her hand and affections. But Major Glenn had miscalculated, and was disappointed in the material he was dealing with, for Leon would have returned to his Lucile if he had been forced to swim the ocean. So instead of taking a New York steamer, he embarked on a Southern bound Clyde Line steamer for Charles ton, ; Savannah and Jacksonville where he took railroad for Tampa. Lucile had been looking for his arrival several days, as the steamer was delayed. No mortal can describe their meeting in Tampa, for they were the happiest,, beings on earth. Leon spent one week in Tampa, his father ex pecting him to return via. New York, the same way he went. Leon said to Lucile that there was no sense or reason for postponing their marriage any longer, that they were of age, and had determined to marry, that nothing on earth could now pre vent it, and why not consummate the romantic courtship while in Florida and return to Carolina, man and wife? Lucile consented, friends has tily decorated the Episcopal Chapel, and just one week from the time he arrived, the rector pronounced them "man and wife," as they stood beneath a huge snow white wedding bell. Leon at once telegraphed his father from Tampa, Fla., that he and Lucile had just been married and on a certain day to send the carriage to L ; to meet them. They had, however, agreed if Major Glenn continued, t to object that Leon, as painful jSj if? would be, would live with Mrs.;i SneaP , . . , . . J.4-. 1 -1 v. no owneu a, must, vaiuuuie estatej j When the train pulled up at L- not only old Caleb, with his white teeth i grinning.. but Major, Glenn,,, and Mrs. Glenn were there in their private phaeton, greeted the young couple, with affection. Major Glenn called her "daughter Lucile," kissed her, so did Mrs. Glenn, gave them a- mot affectionate welcome, and fromzitbat day to the. Major's death, did he irl i. . I 1 . ! 11 1" . - 1 . .1 ll ..' 1 mention tne oiu lamny ieuu, auu ne loved her as his own precious daughter. Lucile was so overcome with joy she took a big cry, for Major Glenn in his own carriage, with his wife drove to the Snell home cad brought Mrs. Snell, Lucile's mother, to his own home, where they all gave them one grand royal fraternal welcome. . Thus the old family feud was for ever buried and the two families once again became as one. Leon Glenn and his beautiful wife became owners of the two valuable landed estates reared an attractive and intelligent familyand are todayp recognized as the leading family on the great Pee Deo river. Major Glenn, his wife and Mrs. Snell, several years since passed away at ripe and useful ages, beloved by all their neighbors. This family feud and duel at the ferry is remembered byp the old persons of th ecommunityp. While the names of the leading char acters in this simple story have been changed, yet the facts are true, this romantic courtship with its happy termination actualy occurred as here in related. ""Six months after their marriage, Leon and Lucile together went to Eu rope, and after visiting the old home stead near Glasgow, Scotland, where they remained several weeks, they traveled extensively through Europe, but finally came back to the old Glenn castle and at the earnest solitation of Leon's wealthy aunt, consented to re main with her during her natural-life, with the promise that the old castle should not pass from the. Glenn family. . Leon was placed in full and complete control of her entire estate, he having taken a legal course while in college, had acquired a remarkable knowledge of law and business. His. attorneys him upon his splendid ideas of busi ness, and his fortunate selection of business investments. The Caetle of Glenn" and im mediate propertyp was worth three hundred thousand dollars, while the estate owned much real and personal propertyp in different portions of Scot land, but the main bulk of the Glenn fortune consisted in stocki and bonds, which at that time were paying hand somely. . , - ' During the two years residence -in Scotland little Marie Glenn was born, and named for her wealthy aunt, who at once settled one hundred thousand dollars on her - little namesake.- ,; The aged aunt became devoted to: Lucile, for her care and attention was tender and constant, she became her daily and hourly attention, delighting in her aunt s broken Scotch dialect.

There were two other members of the Glenn family, cousins of his, who lived in Virginia, who were the same kin, by blood, to the aunt, as was Leon. He immedia tely upon the death of his aunt, divided her enormous estate into three shares, giving the youngest Virginia cousin the old Glenn Castle while he divided the remainder of the estate equally, of course the gift to little Marie was first set apart and invested in New York Cityp, in United States bonds, for the child, (which she re cently fell heir to, having married in 1900 a brilliant Alabama lawyer.) Soon after this amicable and gen erous division and adjustment of the estate, the younger Glenn removed to Scotland, occupied the old castle where he recently died without having mar ried, the property, byp his deed.revert ed back to his cousin, the previous owner, and to his brother. Leon returned to the old home on Pee Dee river, where he and Lucile have since resided, refusing to hold any political office, being satisfied, as he is, surrounded by his immense stretches of fertile lands, with hun dreds of tenants. Caleb still lives, and is yet the faith ful carriage driver, almost daily driving Leon to R or to Li where he gets his mail, meets friends and discusses the issues of the day. Leon invested heavily in different cotton mills, having several hundred thousand dollars in the mills, near him, in North Carolina. The writer is an intimate friend of Leon and his lovely wife, and from their own lips he heard this, their own readable and romantic "love story" repeated. Major Glenn, his wife and Mrs. Snell all were buried in the same holy plot of ground, where Col. Snell's remains were placed, near the ferry in the family cemetery. Benjamin T.

After two months remarkable sales R. H. Jordan & Co., the enterprising druggists, say that their plan of sell ing at half price the regular 50 cent size of Dr. Howard's specific for the cure of constipation and dyspepsia, and guaranteeing to refund the money if it does not cure, has been the greatest success they have ever known. They have- sold hundreds of bottles of the specific; and yet have not had one returned, although they stand rea dy at any time to refund the money should any customer be dissatisfied. This is the strongest testimony that can be .furnished tat the great , merit of this medicine. Anyone suffering . with dyspepsia, constipation, liver troubles, headaches, dizziness, coated tongue, or the general tired feeling, fcaused by inactive liver and bowels or,, disordered . digestion, should take advantage of R.

Cosmo FOR (Trade Mark) The Best Paid Press Agent in the World. In the American Magazine for Sep tember Sherman Morse publishes an interesting paragraph about J I. C. Clarke, press agent for the Standard Oil Company. Mr. Morse tells about Mr. Clarke in connection with his ac count of other great press agents em ployed by trusts. "J. I. C. Clarke, for forty years one of the most prominent news paper men in New York, is the man retained by the Standard," says Mr. Morse. "He is supposed to be re ceiving a salary of $20,000 a year. "Mr. Clarke's usefulness to the Standard Oil Company remains to be proved. It is through him that the company has issued denials of the truth of charges brought against it this summer. But so far his appoint ment is significant as evidence of the company's belated willingness to discuss its affairs. Mr. Clarke is 60 years old. He was employed in vari ous capacities on the Herald for a dozen years, and for the same length l time he was managing editor and Part owner of the Journal while that newspaper was conducted by Albert Pulitzer. He returned to the Herald as editor of its Sunday edition four years ago and remained in that posi tion until about a year ago. Mean while he had written several success ful plays, "Robert Emmet, aTragedy,' 'The First Violin 'Her Majesty: Lady Godiva. Lately he dramatized 'The Prince of India, which has had a remarkably successful run in Chi cago, and is to be presented in New York next winter."
