A man who has been running a race

finds himself suddenly stopped. It
seems as if a cold hand clutched his
heart. His brain whirls ; he can hardly
see. "What is it?" he asks himself as
the attack passes.
If his question
meets a right an

that his seizure is
a warning to pay
more attention to
his stomach, which

AUNT TID'S ROMANCE. 4
Their El rst Parting: Was For Fifty
J.. Years, but Happiness Came to t
V Both In Life's Twilight.
!
We always called her "Aunt Tid," but
her real name was Araminta. It was,
perhaps, because of the unworkaday
"fineness" of her baptismal appellation
that our dear old auntie preferred to
be known by the title, which, given her
in childhood by a baby brother, had
clung to her throughout her 70 years of
life.
Aunt Tid was the eldest of a large,
motherless family and had spent her
youth in looking after her junior broth
ers and sisters, transferring her good
offices in the latter years to her numer--ous
circles of nephews and nieces.
Whenever sickness or bereavement
visited the household of any of her rela
tives, Aunt Tid was usually summoned
as promptly as the doctor or the under
taker and was never too busy or too ill
herself to respond to these calls.
A life wholly given up to the service
of others had left Aunt Tid but little
time to devote , to herself, cveu as re
gards the care of her toilet, and, though
always scrupulously neat (no one ever
saw Aunt Tid with a missing button on
a glove or a disheveled hair in her gray
braids), onr good old auntie was wont to
affect a very dowdy style of attire, con
stantly wearing old fashioned raiment
until it was fairly used out, and consult
ing comfort and economy rather than
style in the- choice of her apparel, a pro
ceeding which "gave her all her years,"
as the French say.
Years went by, and Aunt Tid's labors
grew less. Children grew up, family
scapegraces died or went abroad, a dis
tant relative bequeathed to Aunt Tid &
comfortable little annuity, and, at the
time when my story commences, the
dear old lady was enjoying a kind of In
dian summer of life, dwelling in a pleas
ant little home of her own in the coun
try, with only myself, a girl of 20, to be
the representative of the many youth
ful relatives whom she had "mothered"
for a couple of generations.
And as I was going to be married in a
few months, so Aunt Tid's' cares on my
account would shortly be over.
I was paying a round of visits among
Charlie's relations. We were to start
for India immediately after our mar
riage, and I was making acquaintance
with my new connections before leaving.
My last visit was at the house of Char
lie s eldest brother, v ho resided about
ten miles from our little country town
and who had i lately brought home a
youthful bride about my own age.
My future sister-in-law and I soon be
came great friends, and I fairly lost my
heart to a dear old gentleman, an uncle
of Helen, who, like myself, was a vis
itor to the house.
Colonel Beville was an ideal specimen
of the old world gentleman, tall and
erect still for all his 75 years, and with
those charming and courteous manners,
especially to women, which are not com
mon In the present day at least so I of
ten think, but then I am an elderly wo1
man myself now and, as such, possibly
prejudiced in v favor of the "good old
times." ,
"I think Uncle James has taken quite
a liking to you, Mary," my hostess had
jokingly said one day. And certainly the
old colonel showed me a great deal of
marked kindness a fact, perhaps, ex
plained one day by the old gentleman
himself, who remarked:
My' dear, it is strange how much you
remind me of a lady whom I used to
know very well many, many years ago.
There is something in your voice and
your smile, and you have her hair and
eyes"
Here the old gentleman broke off ab
ruptly, but I suspected a romance and
was not a little interested. Colonel Be
ville was a bachelor I knew. Had fidel
ity to some early attachment kept him
so?
This question was set at rest some
days later. The eld gentleman possessed
some valuable Indian curios (most of his
life had been passed in the east), which
he was exhibiting one day to his niece
and myself in his own apartments. Hel
en was called away before the exhibition
Was concluded, but I lingered, helping
the colonel to put away his treasures.
Suddenly the old man drew a minia
ture from a drawer and held it out to
me. '
That is the likeness of the lady whom
I once hoped to have married," he said,
simply, "and It Is yes, it certainly is
very like you, my dear."
"It cannot be a likeness of my moth
er," I said, "for she was dark, like all
the Talbots, except Aunt Tid and my
self. We were the only fair haired mem
bers 'of the family in each generation, I
believe."
"Talbot was that your mother's
name?" asked the old colonel quickly.
Why, that miniature is the portrait of a
Miss Talbot a Miss Araminta Talbot
whom I knew"
That the old colonel's miniature was
indeed a likeness of my aunt was soon
proved, and the eager manner in which
the old gentleman questioned me regard
ing my relative showed that the BO years
which bad elapsed since their last meet
ing bad in nowise obliterated the remem
brances of his early love from his heart.
And yet to connect Aunt Tid in her cap
and spectacles with a love romance!
I returned home that afternoon, but
said nothing to auntie about my strange
meeting with her old lover. I thought it
better to wait awhile upon events, an
opinion justified when I received a note
from Helen by next morning's post. -
1 forgot to give you the parcel of war
den seeds which I promised," she wrote,
."but Uncle James has kindly volunteered
to ride over with them this afternoon.
My dear, you have certainly made a
tomplete conquest of the old gentleman.
I assure you he seemed absolutely ue
HgMed for an excuse to come and call on
you."
I smiled a little. Was it I whom Colo
nel Beville jvas so anxious to see again?
Then another idea occurred to me.
Would it not be a terrible disenchant
ment when the former lorers met? A
greater, perhaps, to the colonel than to
Aunt Tid, for the passing years often
deal more mercifully with men than with
women. - ' r
Yet since my aunt had come into com
parative ease and affluence she had con
siderably modified her former bizarre
style of dress and, as is often the case,
WM ,w comelier at 70 than she had been
at 50 or GO. It was a very sweet faced
though white haired old lady who was
D.iW ?ented opposite to me in her black
silk dress and scarlet Indian shawl, a
treasure which I had lately unearthed
from Aunt Tid's stores and had insisted
on substituting this afternoon for the
shabbier wrap which she was wont to
wear.
"Helen's uncle is coming to call with
'my parcel," I remarked, "and you would
not like a stranger to see you look ill
dressed." But do what I would I could
only make Aunt Tid look ft Terr fAawm.
Ing picture of an old lady, and I tAn
l a little to myself as I thought of that
uainiy miniature.
The expected rinc came at tho hail
door, and my heart beat rapidly, whlln
unsuspecting Aunt Tid looked up placid-
j wver aer spectacles to greet the stran
ger.
Molly, our little maid, mumbled the vis
itor s name- inaudlbly, and the colonel
had entered the room Wora Anr, tm
had realized her guest's Identity. Then
the spectacles fell on the floor and a
blush like a girl's oversnread tha nA i..

both her haml 1111 1 miI iiuu-tly:
"It is a lon liitw. Miioe we met, Ara
minta, but when I heard of you from
your niece I resolved to come and see
yon again."
The two old folks stooil silent for n few
seconds, looking 'lit each other 'with an
expression on their countenances which
I knew well, for 1 had seen it before
upon my own Charlie's face when ho
looked at me. And I slipped quietly
away, though I think th;v had both en
tirely forgotten my p; essence.
'
He went im-av at last, and when I re-.
turned from l:-!ti:! out our Sliest I
found jiiy ' aunt seated by the lire, with
her hands clasped, her lips moving nnd
the tears shining in her eyes.
"My last wish has been granted me.
she said half to herself. "I have often,
oh, so often, wished to' see James once
again and explain everything."
And now you will be married, I re
marked foolishly.
Aunt Tid laid one delicute. wrinkled
hand upon mine.
"My dear, she said, with gentle digni
ty, "you forget. e are dear friends
once again, but both of us are must be
standing upon the threshold of that world
where 'is neither marrying nor giving in
marriage.' "
'
And perhaps they were right. A bride
of 70 and a bridegroom of 73 would bo
apt to provoke more ill natured ridicule
than sympathy.
But the colonel, who now -rented a
small furnished 1 house in the village,
spent most of his time in Aunt Tid's
pretty little drawing room, dropping in
regularly twice or thrice a day, chatting
or reading aloud to Aupt Tid while she
knitted and consulting her regarding all
his domestic affairs.
Aunt Tid engaged the colonel's serv
ants for him and generally supervised
his household. The colonel was, in turn,
my aunt's referee in all her small busi
ness affairs. Any one coming in sudden
ly upon the pair seated on either side of
Aunt Tid s hearth would have taken
them, as they were in truth, for a model
old Darby and Joan.
And what, the reader will ask. was
the cause which had kept these lovers
asunder for half a century? I cannot
answer that question, for I myself never
knew a reply to it
Aunt Tid never explained, and there
are subjects which are sacred from ques
tions. I only know that the pair, affianced
in their youth, but separated daring the
best years of their life, had both re
mained up to their old age faithful to
this early attachment ana that several
peaceful years of happy intercourse were
granted to them before, as Aunt Tid
said, they passed to where "1b neither
marrying nor giving in marriage."
'ihe colonel was the first to go. He
took a chill one winter's day, and chills
are not to be braved by an octogenarian.
Aunt Tid was too feeble to attend the
funeral, but she hatched it as it passed
her window amid the fast falling enow.
"JJ irty years was the length of our last
parting," I heard her whisper to herself.
"Oh, James, we shall not be separated
so long this time."
And they were not. It was but a few
months later when gentle Aunt Tid. in
turn, "passed over to the majority."

Hermits and Fiddlers.
Of all the many oddities none seemed -
stranger to me than the fiddler and her
mit crabs, which are found almost every
where on the salt water shore. The fid
dler is a pert little creature which de
lights in parading about when the tide is
out and the sandy bottom is free for him
to travel over. It is sometimes three
inches long, generally considerably less,
and it gets its name from the fact that
it has two very disproportioned claws,
one of which is three times as large as
the other, so large, indeed, that you won
der how the little fellow manages to car
ry it about. Whether the crab Is at rest or
traveling, the claws, big and little, are
held aloft, and this position gives them
the decidedly comical appearance of fid
dling. '
All are fiddling, and all are, so to
speak, dancing, for they keep moving
about on the sand, although far from
rhythmically. They look as If 'they had
nothing to do, but if you observe careful
ly you will find that they are picking ud
particles of food. Sometimes two crabs
may be seen pulling and hauling at the
same scrap, and they act much like a
pair of boys engaged in a tussle over a
plaything. If you wish to put the whole
assemblage to flight, you will have to
rush in, and, presto, the whole collection
disappear in a manner to surprise the.
beholder. Then. .we discover that thero
are thousands of little burrows in which
these diminutive crustaceans live on the
shore sands. At low water on the sea
shore at Cedar key I have seen a thou
sand fiddlers at one time, but if you walk I

Miss Margaret Indies, of Paris. Ky.,

FRANCE IN FULL ACCORD.
Rag80-American Proposal Regarded As
Settling Negatively Any Question
of Partition of China.
Copyrighted 1900 by the Associated Press.
Paris, Sept. 1. The Chinese situa
tion, as viewed in Paris, has assumed
a brighter aspect. The practical una
nimity of the Uaited States, Russia,
France and Japan in the desire to
maintain the integrity of the Empire
is regarded as settling any question of
partition negatively. England's posi
tion is undoubtedly as strongly favor
able to the foregoing policy as is that
of any power mentioned, but it is
more pleasing to France that bonds of
accord should be shown between the
United States, France and Russia, and
that these nations should appear to be
the controlling influences towards
peace. America's proposition to ac
cept Li Hung Chang as go between in
the negotiations is well received here,
although it is still desired that he pro
duce tangible evidence that he is act
ing for the central power. In fact,
France is ready to treat with any plen
ipotentiary able to furnish proper cre
dentials. Russia's proposal to with
draw the troops from Pekin coincides
with the feeling entertained in Paris
in favor of a conciliatory policy.
The acceptance or these two proposi
tions by all the powers is considered
an important step" towards a satisfac
tory solution and one which will avoid
causing a convulsion within China
and will minimize the danger of con
flict ! among the powers. Germany
and Italy are the doubtful factors, but
it is thought the weight of the pacific
influence of the other nations will
overcome any bellicose indignation en
their part.

Balkiqh. N. C, August 31. The
second annual convention of the As
sociation of Agricultural Commis
sioners of the South canoe to a close to
night. r - v
To-morrow morning the delegates
-will visit the North Carolina College
of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts,
the State experiment farm and other
points of interest about the city, after
which they will leave for a trip
through the State as the guests of the
North Carolina Department of Agri
culture. They will return to Kaleigh
Tuesday afternoon.
The next session ot the association
will be held at Hot Springs, Ark., in
the early part of October, the selection
of the exact date being left to the ex
ecutive committee.
Most of to-day's session was devoted
to a discussion of the live stock indus
try, seed testing and the encourage
ment of immigration.
The most important action taken
during to-day's session was the passage
m a resolution in regard to tne mar
keting of the cotton crop, the adoption
of some recommendations looking to
the control of the sale of seed and the
incorporation of an amendment to the
by-laws providing for the payment of
tne incidental expenses of each annual
session by assessing pro-rata each
State represented in the association.
- The resolution adopted urges upon
cotton growers the importance of dis
tributiog the sale of cotton oyer the
entire year, so that the market may
not be depressed by dumping the en
tire crop upon it at once ; and to the
end that the farmer may keep inform
ed as to the statistical situation of the
crop, the departments of agriculture
arc requested to give out to the press
from time to time any information
that they may have touching the con
dition of the crop; the acreage planted,
and the stock on hand.
The recommendations in regard to
the sale of seed are as follows :
1. That this association endorse the
idea of State inspection of seeds in the
interest of the purchaser.
2. That the association at its present
meeting appoint a committee to draft
a uniform law intended to secure
effective control of the seed market of
the different States here represented ;
this committee to report at the next
meeting of the association.
The committee appointedln accord
ance with the above consists of Mc
Carthy of North Carolina, Due ger of
Alabama, Herrick of Mississippi, and
Scott of Georgia.
THE GRADY SCHOOL,
Turkey, N. C,
will begin its next session September 3rd.
