A HASTY CONCH SION.
"Very proud family, the*o Ueltoni?"
said Frederick lUyues, interrogatively,
■ .is he stretched himself oil the jrass near
j tbc stream where he and hit ftieod,
I George Mj le, liad been fishing.
| "Oil, yes, very proud-cau't touoh 'em
; with a forty-foot polo," laughed (Jcarge
I I.N IC.
••Oh, you needn't laugh. You know
what's roported about tbeui in town is
true. Mother aud daughter are proud
as Lucifer."
♦'That's itexaotly, l'red. People from
a distance can always tell you more about
>our neighbors than you ku»w yourself.
Hut wh.it if the lSeltons are proud?
That doesn't take any from the attrae
tion of Laura Bolton. I tell you she's >
bcau'.y, Fied, aud yuc, must not go back
to town without au introduction."
"Now, George, 1 came down here to
fish, shoot and have a good tiina with
you, notto make love to jour pretty
girls, and least of all to Princes Helton.
No introduotian for mo, thank you. Not
that 1 objeot particularly to being intro
duced to a pretty girl, but you see I
haven't read up toy pedigree ol late,
neither have Imy credentials with me.
The fact is, 1 never could fiudtany use
for your grandees—jour high-toned
families, who will not proffer the tips of
their lingers until they know who your
groat-great-graudfather was."
"l''red, you're predjudiced."
"AU right: we'll I tit it go at tlut,"
baid frcd, laughing.
The morning after this conversation
Frcd llayues, who wan fond of tho sad
dle, probably because he was handsome
aud dashing, and hoked well in it,
started for a cantei hefoic breakfast.
"Nut very paitiul to riding out before
breakfast iu of the country."
said Fnd to biuiself, as he rode about
two miles without uicet.ng anybody.
Hut presently the sound of horsee'
hoofs coming tearing along a by-path he
was approaching fell upon his ear. He
reined baok bis horse and the next mo
ment a young girl, apleudidly mounted,
dashed out on the road, ani on before
him.
As she appeared, l'red caught sight of
a bright, haudsoiuo face- her figure was
perfect, and she sat in her saddle like a
boru equestrienne
Fred was quite charmed by the young
girl's appoarau:# and gave a free rein to
his horse ouec more.
How lie mauaged to lose control over
bis homo, or bow the borso managed to
laud huu clear across the road -ill an in
sensible couditioa, was something l f red
never could make out, uuless it was that
he was puyirg tuo much attention to the
girl On before him and too little to (be
spirited creature be was riding.
W hat lia 1 happened was painfully im
pressed ou Fred's uiiud the minute he
opeued his eyes. He tried to move, but
he groaued aloud with pain llii shoul
der sudjtaklc were both dislocated, and
what uudei lietven was he to do here
mi this lonely road, where he might lay
all day, perhaps, without seeing the faoe
of a human being.
Suddenly he thought of the young
girl who was before him on the road
wlicu he fell. Did ah* tee him fall, and
not torn back to render bio> any assist
aace? No, she did not look like a girl
that wood play the part of tbo Lerite of
old.
••Oh, yes base recovered. I am so
glad," Mid • frank, girlhh voice.
And looking up the girl
of his though ta.
The train of her baUt was thrown
over her arm, in b«r delicate white
hands ahe carried a iI«M jog of water.
She knell down on th« fronnd beside
him, bendtng her bri|k|, kaudtome face
over him, aa she aaid;
"Oh, I'm »o glad !"
• Thaiik you," iuurw«|red l'rcd, and
he forgot that he bad a pboalder or an
aukla, "but L oannot mnirtraUud kow it
is that I find mymlf kl Uiia eoaditlon."
"You were thrown IW»>i your borae,"
ahe said, dipping her harw-lu the water
and bathing hia brow. "I think you arc
severely injured."
Yea, Frod tbnaght ao, too, for be
moved again, and the paia of hia shoul
der and aukle made hiiu wiuce.
"I believe toy aukle ia apt ailed." aaid
Fred.
"I'lieo it must be attended to without
delay. Helton Villa ia not a great way
from here. 1 will go and report your
accident and Mrs llclton will aend the
carriage "
"No, than If you, 1 would rather not
trouble Mrs. Helton. Ia there no other
house near by on this road? Are we far
from Mr. George gyle's' My name is
Fred Maynes. I'm a guest of Mr. Lyle."
"Ah, indeed!*' and the young lady
opeued wide ber beautiful brov.ii eyes.
'Mr. Lfle'a is a considerable distance
from here; but if you are satisfied to go
to any house on the road, why not go to
Helton's? I never heard of any of the
family refusing assistance yet to any oue
in need of it."
"I suppose they wouldn't turn away a
suppliant at their door, but do you
think the proud Misa Helton would do
for me what you have don*'" saiJ Fred,
earnestly, M be looked straight iuto the
brown eye* bent so curiously upoa bim.
"Yc«, »he would, if she took a notion,''
and the girl laughed, as she took her
handkerchief md wiped the dripping
water Irotu bis brow.
"I ehatl 'jeter forpet your kindness
and the trouble you have given yourself
on lav account."
"Now please don't meuiion the trouble.
You are in need of more assistance than
1 can give you, and that, too, as I oaiJ
before, without delay. Do I understand
you to say that you refuse to go to the
Helton Y ilia ou principle'' - said tbe girl,
laughing as if her own word.* amused
her.
Fred nodded bis head.
"Then 1 will go toGraoay Myres' cot
tage, where 1 got this water; it is just
round the path, and tho boys will come
and help you. Once at the cottage, you
arc all right," aid before Fred could
make any reply tbe girl was off.
"1 wonder who she is? I thoaght she
would tall me her name wben 1 told her
mine. I'll ask her, when she comes
back," was Fred's mental oomment.
Hut tbe young girl did not come back
Two stalwart boys came imtead, and
helped bim up to the cottage.
She was waiting for bin, though, had
the sofa ready lor him to lie dowu, aud
when he was settled comfortably, she
dispatched ene of the boys for a doctor.
"Now you uiuH keep quiet, and if
you have uo objections I'll sit dowu
here until tb" doctor comes," said tho
young gial; drawing a chair over to the
sofa.
Kred uiuruiered something under his
breath about an angel, and he said
aloud:
"It ia a pleasure toliaveyou near me,
I forget all about my pain."
"Now, don't be too complimentary,"
and the brown ejea were fixed smilingly
on bi« face.
"May I ask the uauio of the kind ben
efactress !"
The young girl colored to the roots of
her wavy brown hair and shook her
bead.
"You must MIC DO questions to-day,"
(he laid, tad Fred saw at once that the
wished to keep her name from him.
The doctor oarne, attended to Fred
and coolly told him that be couldu't
leave the cottage for a week.
"You beard what the doctor said ;
will you cumc and see ma again through
the wee* !" said Fredas be held the
young girl's hand in his as shu was
about to depart.
"1 will come erery day," she answer
ed frankly.
"Don't tell bits who 1 am, granny,"
was the warning the girl gave the old
wotuau who owned the cottage « she
mounted her horse and flew away.
"What ii the young lady's name *"
asked Fred of the old woman the mo
ment she appeared at hi* bedside.
"If tbefyoung lady want* you to know
she'll Ull you htreolf," answered the
old woman :u a tone that stopped all fur
*

Fred waa myatifled. All he could do
waa wonder wbo tbe girl eould be

hour after tbe aecident.
"George, I ooneider myaelf the luck

"lleeaaaa you were'nl killed, I aup

"Because 1 wasn't killed. No. lie

oaa of tba prettlevt—oaa ot the pices',
girls in creation "
"Yaa, 1 know- aba called at the bouse
aad told me all about it."
"Who ia aba'" asked Fred breath
lessly.
"Miss Helton." And George Lyle
walked away, whistling.
"Mias Beltoo"' cried Frad, and he
started up ia a manner tbat threatened
dialccation of the shoulder the second
time.
HutGetrge was merciful hi atayed
away and allowed f red U ask himself
a few questions.
"Miss Hellou, before you lit down,nay
that yo'i forgive my foolish talk of yes

bcnef.ictrcu called to see him, blight aud
early next morning.
"Don't aay anything about it. 1
hava forgotten It," and she placed her
her cool han4 on hia fevcriah brow as
she continued, smiiiug : "You know I
can't help being no vary proud."

AN ITEM FOR GOVERNOR
SCALES.
A merchant of New Heme received
from Halem, N- C., a few days ago two
barrels of eomiuon elay pipes, the freight
en wbieh was $1.35 per bsrrel. The
freight on the ssme from Baltimore,
nearly three times tbe distance, would
have keen only twtnty crnls per bar
rel.
We call tbe Governor's attention to
this little matter to further satisfy him
if possible that the great railroad cor
porations doing business in this State
have -'divided the empue," and in the
terms of division it hat been decreed
that there shall be no ttafßo between the
people east of Goldsbero and those west
of that point. All commuuity of inte
rest is destroyed and we are forced to
go North for eve* elav pipes when they
are made in our own Slate.
New Berne with her cheap water
routes ought to supply a portion
of eastern and middle N. 0., with their
heavy groceries, and would do it but
tor the Railroad corporations who are
interested in building up other
points.
We sought to free ourselves from such
influences by a eonnection with the C
Y.k Y V. R. R., but the Governor
prefers to foster the interest of those
who oppress us.
Let us appeal to the next General
Assembly to acoept the proposition
of tho C. F. AY. V. to buy the A.
k N. C.—New Heme Journal.
AN INDIAN FUNERAL.
Tbe ludian funeral—it is a solemn,
impressive, intereeung ceremony. The

They chant ou their knees, later stand,

The skull is then washed and cleaned.
It is placed in a eirele with other skulls,

A TUKKLKBB FOKKST.
Away down in Dotronsbire, in the
southwestern part of England, there is
a rery interesting tract of land. It is
known as Dartmoor forest, and is so na
med in all old deeds and grants of land;
yet, with the exception of a small grove
of dwarf oaks, it is almost entirely with
out trace' This Strang* contradiction is
said to be due U the fcet of die greater
part of Dartmoor having actnlty h«cn a
forest years age, b#t it was so infested
with fierce wild animals that the people
were forced, in sei" !' f"nsc, to aet fite
