Miss Grace never laughed now; some times a vur.c, patient mile would flit across her plain, worn old face, lending a. nathetie beauty which it would - . 1 .31 1 omerwise sjuiruiv uavc ' There is always something beautiful about an old face, no matter how homely it may be, and it was this pa tient smile alone which saved Miss Grace ' from beinir utterly condemned bv tle critical little world in which ,he lived as a remarkably ujrly old maid. j " Her elder sister. Miss Farnham, was a small, shriveled, perky, little body, who had never been pretty, or in the least degree admired, and who did not cherish the memory of even one. love story of her own. No; Stella had al ways been absolutely practical, and far above such : foolish sentiment as love, and on this she prided herself not a little. And Miss Grace snipped and tweaked at her rosebush pounced upon vnsus tectinir caterpillars and lent a rather inattentive ear to her sister's incessant chat, the while being dreamily occu pied by thoughts of her own. Miss Farnham was not idle while she talked; her nimble fingers were busily working at a huge length of coarse cal ico. She was always to be seen sewing calico, with what end in view not even the- wisest gossip in the village could disclose, but it was shrewdly supposed that the mysterious lengths of the stuif were converted into sheets and ont un to London to some charitable institution. ! "Stella." said Miss Grace, meditative ly, as she tenderly clipped off .a full blown rose and ' half-unconsciously In terruDted her sister in the midst of a crave haranjnle as to the best and swiftest method of ridding a garden of slues; "Stella, I have waited patiently for very many years. "Hush, uracer whisperea miss arn- ham, reprovingly; "suppose some one in the neighboring garden should hear you. I snouw reel greauy asnamea. "Tliere is no one in the next garden, j answered Miss Grace, mildly; "no one at all; but I will not mention the mat- ter again if yon would prefer me not to. although it is a great relief to me to speak out .allthatis in my heart to ( some 'one who can sympathize witA me." ; J "Grace, G racer and Miss Farnham ( laid her work down in her lap for one brief moment and regarded her sister nritli utorn rlisnleasiire: we are' both too old to trouble ourselves about such J matters. It is not as ii you were a silly, flighty, lovesick girl; out," wita cruel truth, "we are a couple of plain, elderly women, you and I, and as such ( should be thinking of higher things , than, the petty troubles and disap- ne took her hands In a firm, strong j touch) of the bright sunshine, which pointments of the world. I tell you clasp, and looked straight in io her face seemed to glint and sparkle every once more, for the 900th time, that with the faintest suspicion! of a puz- wheri, even in her dark, gloomy bed- Oliver Deane will never come now never! Yhy, you are let me see how old are you, Grace?" j "Never mind, Miss Grace snapped, in a manner entirely foreign to her gentle nature. Then she turned and faced Miss Farnham suddenly, with a flush on her , i - i . j ura.1 light In her eyes. "It Was on a day like this, Stella a warm glorious summer day and we were standing to gether under the lime trees, Oliver and I, and he waa bidding me farewell a long, long farewell and he (took j my hands In bis and held them fifxnly, and smiled down Into my face with his kind, true eyes, saying" : "Yes, Gracie, yes," interrupted Miss Farnham, more ! kindlj than was' her wont "Yes. dear, you hav told me what he said." j I I Oh, how well she knew thai; old story i the poor little story which Miss Grace had worn threadbare by almost con stant repetition,! and, worse than all else, how well practical Miss Farnham knew that all the romance founded on that story had been a sad mistake, so far as Oliver Deane was concerned! She knew too well that out off all Miss Grace's long ago admirers this hand some young ne'er-do-weel had never for a moment cherished one seriou i thought of love for the girl who had, allj un known to him, given her young heart Into his careless keeping. j She had loved and he had gone away as is too frequently the manner of the contrary individuals who people this oerolexinff j world of purs and there most assuredly the matter should have ended; but no. Miss Grac, through all the quiet, uneventful years which had worn away since that all-(mportant summer day had still obstinately cher ished a calm, unalterable bfchef ; that Oliver Deane would come back again to her, and this belief was founded mere- m d 1 a n ? i - iron a zew inougnuess worus wnicn he,. at -least, had: forgotten as soon as they were uttered. 'Wait until I have made my fortune. he had said, half laughingly, fand then I shall come back to this kleepy lit tie village and look for a wife, and, yon, Grace, must be waiting here for me. Poor Miss liracel For the sake o' these few words she had turned aside from the giddy ! paths of flirtation which possess such power of keen, fas cination for the young and flighty; for their sake she had suddenly sobered down from a gay and careless girl, into a grave, sedate woman; for their sake she bad chosen to lead a life of single blessedness, and now more piteous than all beside she, as an ol d, faded. worn-out woman, was still dinging with resolute foolishness to Jthe bteliei that, somewhere or other, her truant lover was toiling late and eariy for her sake, just as faithfully as shje watched late and early for his conking.! She would far, far rather have dqubted her religion than the fact that Oliver Deane was coming soon,1 very soon, to redeem his promise. I When she was younger she had fret ted with all the natural impatience of youth at the tardiness of her lover; her bright face had grown pale and sad aa she waited for the news of him which never came, and her merry bifown I eyes had of ttimes grown dim with tears and weariness of their useless, watching;,' but, then, as the years crept on, in 6tead of losing all hope and resigning herself to the inevitable, Miss Gracei strange to say, grew still firmer In heij faith; and .felt convinced that herjlove was close at band. All fhe world mhrht be false, but Oliver Deane would never break his word to her. I j j So as . every hour, every cay, weekj month and year passed ovei . herj head she rejoiced, for they seemed to bring him nearer. Shej possessed lone .keep sake of this supposed lover! of hers, a wee painted miniature, enshrined in a large and abominable gold and tur quoise locket, ' : which showed, that Oliver Deane had been quite (handsome enough to turn; many a girl's foolish head. It made i him out as having a frank, manly, Saxon face, with irre proachable features and fine blu e-gray eyes and bright golden ha: r and mus tache, which mi ght have al me almost explained Miss Grace's otherwise un accountable weakness and folly, j j ' This, then, and a few careless words had fed the fire of her love for years- poor Mis Gracei ,- . I : I ' j "I still am sure, observed Miss Grace, after a long pause, and with an j involuntary- sigh, "that Oliver Deane will soon be here now." I "Eabbisht" exclaimed Misa; Farnham, vigorously: then in an argumentative tone: "It is improbable impossible that such a thing should occur, and, be sides, even if he did come ito see us. just consider how changed we should all find each other! Thinki what his age must be and how altered he would be to when last we saw him!? j I "No matter what his age and appear ance may be, Stella," answered little Miss Grace, with gentle dignity, "Oli ver Deane will be the same to me al- ways." 7 f 1 J "EL'mP grunted Miss Farnham, con-1 temptuously ; "but perhaps I you have not considered j whether you may al ways be the same to Oliver Deane." 1 "Yes, dear; I have considered," calm ly, "and as I have trusted Oliver all my life since my girlhood, I cannot bring myself to doubt his faith! and the strength of his love nowj He will come again, and we will be tjhe same tc each other as we were on the day when we parted in the lime walk."! The lime walk was, needless to say, Miss Graces favorite haunt. Jt ran along beside the tall card1 en wall, from the which shut off the high road Miss Farnhams' grounds, and here' ihe two sisters were wont to stroll . to- gether under the shade of th$i trees,) or else sit sewing or reading on the little rustic bench down by the garden gate. And it was while they sat here one calm summer evening that the sound ol quick, .firm footsteps fell upon their ears footsteps ! which came) ion and on np the quiet high road toward them.' . Miss Farnham stitched oft serenelir- . rfw indifferent to either the footsteps: or i . i a. r ! 11 , , their owner, but Miss Oracle laid her work down beside her on Ithe bench and listened anxiously, b!er hands twining nervously together In her lap. On and on the steps came, aad some one paused before the garden gate, swung it open,; and then j A stalwart young fellow stood, in hand, and looked ddwn at jthe two litUe scared trembling old laidiea no to greet him.

I "It is your father whom We remem ber, I thinki" she said, with difficulty sparing him, a hand out of the midst of the white bjindle which she held. "My sister recognizes you from your ex- traordinaryj resemblance, to him. We cnew an Oliver Deane many, many years ago. (Are you his son? ; ; "Yes," jhej replied, "and he told me when I came to England to be sure to come to his native village and look up all his oll friends, but you are the only pnes I can find." 1 I He lookeld from one to the pther of the old ladies, wondering which could possibly be the one to whom his father had often I laughingly alluded as "a pretty little flirt who turned all the fellows' heads." j "Gracei" said Miss Farnham, going close to he sister and speakihg very decidedly, f this is Oliver Deane s son. Is not the likeness remarkable?" Miss Grace was smiling her own gen tie, patient' smile, and did not seem to notice anything, but the tall figure standing before her. fj 'You ihqive not altered much," she said, dreamily; "you are jnst the same as when you went away all those long : years ago.!' : i "Gracel'll This time Miss Farnham's voice-fell harshly on her senses and : made her Attentive. "Go to the house. Grace, and ask Jane to brine out some .wine and Cake for Mr. Deane.".! .And Miss Grace went willingly enough jupon the errand, trotting nim bly away j 'over the smooth, well-kept lawn to the side of the house, where she startled their young servant by ap pearing suddenly in the little kitchen and announcing briskly: "Quick, j Jane,' Mr. Oliver has come back and we wish;, for the port wine. and the; fresh seed icake, and three wine glasses-i-the best ones, mind--so bring them all On a tray to the lime , walk at once, like a good girt!" - Jane Stared curiously, wondering who on earth Mr. Oliver could be, and why Miss Grace looked so happy. Then back again, very swiftly, the old lady returned to the lime walk where liss Farnham was entertaining tnelr guest and teariuiiy explaining something to him pomethmg connect ed with Miss Grace and her forgetful ness, and how much she had aged of late, and what queer mistakes i -she was apt to make. I I, Af tet this young Oliver Deane did not allude : to is father again, but sat on the rustic bei Ch between his hostesses and stoically 1 Irank the sweet, sticky port wine With) which they hospitably plied him. jThien at last, when he arose to go, a pair of Nervous winkinpr brown eyes looked, up at him from behind a pair of spectai:lek and an old, quavering voice asked "When ijvill you come again,, Oliver? .not stay away for so long You will' again?" i . "iNoi" he replied, telling tne ;iie witn praiseivorthy promptitude, "I will come very sbon.' . 1 1 lie was1 sailing for his home in Aus tralia j the next day, but Miss Farnham had implbred him with vague, unde fined fear which she had all: at once been forced to entertain to humor her sister. j ! -'! On the very spot where years before Oliver" Deane had bidden farewell to pretty Grace Farnham, his son stood and held the old maid s quivering hand In hisi It seemed to her as if she were young once more, as if all the weary waiting of the past years had been sad, dark dream and as if theypresent alone was true and sweet and real. Sa 6he lived in the sunshine of her little romance once more, and when at last Oliver- Deane passed through the gate and iwiy ouT, of sight and hearing down' this highroad, Miss Grace turned back quietly to her sister. . "I jam puzzled, Stella," she said, thoughtfully. "lie does not seem changed in appearance at all, but some how hes different cold and strange and not like himself." 4GracieI"Miss Farnham's voice waa shrill and her face white and drawn. "GracieJ surely you cannot believe that this young man was the Oliver Deane whom w knew when we were girls? Then very Hrently: "Dear,, what has cornel tq you? Can you possibly think that beiwould be just the same after all these years?" ! "Hi puzzles me, dear Stella," Was Miss Grace's 'gentle answer. "It all seems so very I strange, and although; I have been! expecting his coming so long -and felt Certain that he would keep his word toj me, yet still the meeting seemed to come, upon me very Buddenly. I am thankful I had the strength and cour age to trust him so thankful P.' And as she spoke there was a new brightness In her dim brown eyes and the same vague, patient smile on her Hps. ; "It has been hard sometimes, Stella, to believe that he had not forgotten me, particularly when I saw how foolish you j considered me, and -then, oh, the years have been so long, dear-j-so longl But yelj something, always seemed to tell me jthat some day he would come, and,!

I CAPE FEAR & YADKIN VALLEY. A Largely-Attended Meeting of the Bondholders Discusses Plans ( 'for a Reorganization.

Nearly one hundred persons - attended the meeting, which" was held at the Maryland Life Insurance Building. A large number of out-of-town bondholders were present. Mr. Alfred P. Thorn, of Norfolk, Va.t presided.'.) ; Interest in the meeting was heightened by the appearance of representatives of the New York committee of holders of bonds of 'A" division of the road and the development of propositions rela tive to the future of the property from both the Southern Railway and the Seaboard Air Line system. : The result of the meeting was that a majority of the A" bonds voted against the plan of reorgani zation as announced by the bond holders' reorganization committee, and known as the Baltimore plan.
