The conditions which are most fa vorable for the profitable cultivation Ot vegetables and fruits for market, are a suitable xoil, early maturity, cheap labor, and rapid transportation All these conditions exist in Eastern North Caroliua to a greater extent than at any other point on the At lantic coast. Only eighteen hcurs from New York, wo can put our veg etables and fruits in any of the Northern markets in a condition as fresh as the localities near by. In this particular, as well as in the cost of transportation we have largely the advantage of the States South of usj and the consequence is, that al though Florida vegetables get in market ahead of us, they do not bring any better price than those shipped from North Carolina, from the lact that they arc not t-o fresh. It is also true that when the distance is so great, a large quantity i3 lost trom decay before reaching market. As our vegetables get in market ahead of those shipped from any point Ncrth of us, and yetget there in a lresh and nice Condition, we get much better prices. Thus it will be seen that Eastern Nor.h Caroliua as to location, occupies the most desira ble position of any State on the At lantic Coast. The soil of this section is special iy suiieu lor trucking, it is warm and friable, and easily cultivated, and susceptible of a very high state of improvement. The experiments which have been made, fully de monstrate that no better, or mere suitable soil for the purpose can any where be found. She facilities- for transportation for much of thistei ritory is good. The Atlantic Coast Line, duringthe season, put a special train on for the accommodation of the trade. The territory north of the Albemarle sound finds shipping Iacilitie3 by the S. & K. N.& C. and inexs. & o. raiiroaus. Tnere is a large territory, embracing thecoun ties of Jones aad Onslow, and parts of adjoining counties which has some of the finest trucking lands in the world, which have at present no rail road lacuities, but roads are project ed and will be built, when this ter ritory will become the truc ker's par adise. ii nas ucen oniy a tew years since any attempt was made to raise veg etables and fruits lor the northern markets, and such has been the suc cess which has attended the experi ment, and the enormous profits of the business, that already it lias de veloped into large proportions, and is destined to become one ot the most important industries, if not the most important in Eastern North Carolina. The number of crops which can be made on the same land constitutes a great advantage. The trucking season begins in January and ends in June. The truck lands are then planted in cotton, corn and millet, or allowed to grow in native grass for hay. To illustrate tho ca pability of our lands in tnis partlcu ar, Mr. Ceo. Allen, of New Berne, on September loth, 18So, planted one acre in Oarmaii kale, which wassold during February 1880. In March the ground was planted in bunch or snap beans. The crop ot iys halt barrel boxes was gathered during the first half of June. The land was then sown with German millet which was cut September 1st and weighed, after being well cured, 9,000 pou .ds, giving three profitable crops within twelve months. Ave give this in stance to illustrate the capacity of our soil, and to show what may be lone. With a climate and soil po - sessing such splendid capacity, it is impossible that tho future should fail to develope the most magnifi cent results. The trucking Interest having grown up since the last cen sus, we cannot give the figures of what has beed done in detail, but some instances will serve to indicate the proportions the business has as sumed. In the vicinity of New Berne aboot 2,500 acres are occupied for trucking and produced last year 2000,000 packages valued at over 300,000, or $120 per acre. This land after the trucl' crop was taken off. was in the very best condition for a crop ot cotton, corn or anything else desired to be planted. At Elizabeth City, Washington, Kinfton, Mount Olive, W umington and many other points the business is largely follow ed, while to a smaller extent truck ing is carried on at every station on all the railroads running through the Eastern part of the State. isownere m :ne world can a man live easier, make more money and surround himself with more com forts, with the sams labor, than in Eastern North Carolina, and the fu ture of this section is destined to be more prosperous than any other on the South Atlantic 'coast. Already the value of real estate has greatly increased, and it will quadruple in the next few years. How is This?

Mr. Editor: Please give rue space in the column of your valuatde pa per to say something about one ot Duplin's boys that I think deserves notice. It is almost impossible to speak of all the boys of old Duplin that are deserving praise, for many of th;-. have left their foot prints ujkjii the sands of time, and others are fast mal ing their way up to the highest seat in the temple of fame. But the particular one that I de sire to speak of In this notice, is Dr. Claude Joyner, now a citizen of Jacksonville, Ha., where he went to engage m the practice of medicine after graduating at the College of Physicians and Suigeons in Balti more. Shortly after reaching that city In tho Land ot Flowers, he re ceived an appointment in St. Luke's xlospital where he exhibited rare abilities as a young physician, and as a proof of the high esteem in H hich he is held in his new home, 1 copy the following from the Times-Union, a paper that is published in Jackson ville. The reporter, in adescripiion of St. Luke's Hospital says : "In the rear of this main building and not connected with it U a one-story wooden structure for the treatment of confinement cases. The resident Physician, who has sole charge of all the patients, their diet, their care and their treatment, is Dr. Claude Joyner, and to him all the nurses and employees look for orders. That work is thorough and all that can bo desired is but necessary to visit the hospital to Srte. The well kept wards and tho neatness and dispMch with which all the work goes on speaks volumes for his ability." But a brighter field has opened lor him, and he is now doing a success ful practice in the city of Jackson ville, where he is, no doubt, laying a foundation for a bright future. The following quotation from The Me tropolis, a daily evening journal pub lished in that city siys: 4 The many friends of Mrs. Cooper, will be plea ed to learn that uuder the skillful treatment of Dr. C. Joyner, during the past t vo months, she is now able to go North for the summer, after battling all medical treatment." This young maa is from the hum ble walks of life, being the son of a small planter in this county, and when young Joyner conceived the ide.i of becoming a doctor, many difficulties stood in his path diffi culties that seemed almost insur mountable but like Dr. Young, the philosopher, whose maxim was, "any man can do what another man has done," he started out in search of the knowledge necessary to qual ity mm lor his chosen profession, and by economy, industry and per severance, he surmounted all diffi culties, and is now fast rising into notice, and is, no doubt, destined to be a bright star ia the medical fra ternity.

CHAPTER XII L O rWITETST A NDI N Q the fact that there was an at mosphere of suppressed excitement over the gar rison this May day morn ing, Mrs. Belknap'8 hunt came off according to plan, and the three heroines of the previous run rode forth with but slight change of escort. Capt. Stryker felt constrained to remain in garrison; he had a quiet investigation to make, and was observed to be, In close conversation with Dr. Quin as ihe gaj party assembled in front of CoL Brat nard's quarters. Mr. Perry appeared in his captain's stead, and very politely re quested the honor of being escort to Mrs. Law fence, who accepted, vet looked a trifle embarrassed as she did so. In 3eed, not until she had stolen an appealing glance at her husband and heard his cordial "By all means, dear; Perry can guide you far better than I, and perhaps you'll win another mask," did she thank fully say "Yes." Dana rode with lira. Belknap, as before, and it was the colo nel himself who suggested to Stryker that Mr. Perry should accompany Mrs. Lawrence this day, and that he, the colonel, should ride with Mrs. Sprague, Perry had eagerly lent himself to the proposition: he figured that now he could have an uninterrupted chat with Mrs. Lawrence and hear what she had to tell about Dunraven. Just before starting he sought Capt Lawrence, laughingly told him the terms of their agreement. marital Injunction and permit her to give him such .details as she happen (kf to be in possession of. "Indeed, Capt. Law rence." he said, "I ask from no idle cari osity. I have been to the ranch, as you now know, and have good reason for asking." To his surprise, the captain replied substantially that, while he had regretted Mrs. Lawrence's impulsive rev elations, he had thought it all over and decided that the best way out was that Perry should be told the whole story and bo able to see how very little there was to it. Fie had decided, therefore, to tell him himself; "and this evening, Perry, if you will dine with us informally, we"Il talk it over afterwards. Meantime, I preferMre. Lawrence's name should not be mentioned in connection with any story there may be afloat: so oblige me by saying nothing to heron tho subject." This was one matter for reflection and something of a surprise; but there was still another and even greater one. That very morning, just before guard mount, and while he was dressing. Perry shout ed, "Coma in," responsive to a knock at his sitting room door, and in came Capt Stryker. The object of his early call was explained in very few words. "Perry," safd he, "I have been over t-j see Sergt. Gwynne this morning, and the doctor walked back from the hospital with me and told me of your threatened disagreement of last night. If it had not been for that sudden call to the stables I fancy there might have been a quarrel. Now, I think you know I'm one of the last men to let an officer of my regiment especially my troop bo placed in a false position, and you can afford to leave this matter in my hands, can you not?" "Certainly, Capt. Stryker." "Then I want you to say nothing to Quin on the subject, and to treat him, aa far as possible, as though nothing had happened. His relations with the lady's father and family were, and are, such that she ought to treat him with respect and deference, and to accept his advice even though it be given in a style that Carlyle, his favorite author, is mainly responsible for." "There was absolutely nothing in in that . Well, captain," stammered poor Ned, "I don't know how to say what I want to say." He wanted to say there was nothing in that interview which could possibly be criticised, but it sud denly occurred to him that on the con trary there vas a good deaL Then he desired to assure the captain that, so far as he was concerned, there wasn't a sus picion of wrong doing; bat heavens and earth! that was equivalent to say ing the lady was doing all that was open to remark, and nothing would ever in duce him to "give away a woman," aa he would have expressed it. Perry stam mered and reddened all the more, and at last gave it up in despair, Stryker sitting there the while with a quiet grin on his bronzed face and mechanically slashing his boot leg3 with a riding switch. "I think I understand the situation. Perry, and there's no great harm done. Only, let the matter drop so far as the doctor is concerned. I mean; I do not presume to obtrude advice upon you as to anything else." And, though he had meditated a dif ferent course, and had fully intended hunting up Dana and sending htm with a note to call upon the doctor for an "explanation,'' he was glad to have a man of Stryker'a standing cry halt. All the same he was sore incensed against Dr. Quin mainly because of the" jeal ous pain he suffered at the knowledge of his being so welcomed by Gladys Malt land when he saw fit to visit the ranch; and this pain gnawed all the more an grily now at thought of the embar rassing even suspicious situation in which that very man had found him on the previous evening. Pressing duties and hurried preparations kept him from brood inji too" much non these SSSQ 1 "XI I.l f ' ; points, but tho youngsters all rallied him upon his preoccupation while ct their merry breakfast table. He had re solved that there wa3 one thing he coold and would bring to an issue with Dr. i Quin, end wa3 all impatience for the coming of evening, that he might hear from tho lips of Capt. Lawrenco the act rial stories that had been in circulation concerning Dunraven Ranch. He never went ont to a hunt so utterly indifferent to the fortunes of the day. so eager to have it all over and done with. And yet and yet never had there opened to him a day so radiant with glorious possibility; never before la all his young life had nightfall proved so unwelcome when it finally came. The first rabbit was started before they were a mile from Iiossiter.and the hounds tumbled over him nearly a league away down tho valley of th Monee. It was while they were watering their horses in the 6tream that Mrs. Belknap rode up be side them and laughingly addressed Mrs. Lawrence: "That was too much of a straight awaj for either of us, Mrs. Lawrence; but w ha; wager shall wo have on the first mask after this?" "Why, Mrs. Belknap! I can never hope So rival you. it was mere accident and good guiding on the part of some of the officers who were kind enough to stay by me, that enabled me to be 'in at the death' the other day." "You have Mr. Perry to lead you today. Surely with such a guide you ought to be inspired. Am I to see anything of you today?" she almost whispered to him, as her stirrup brushed his riding boot. "Certainly," he answered, quietly, and looking her over with frank blue eyes that were rather too clear and calm for her mood. "If Mrs. Lawrence will ex cuse me a few moments by and by, it will be a pleasure to come and ride with you. I'll ask her." "Indeed you pliall not," was tho low toned reply, while the dark eyes fairly snapped with indignation. "I do not borrow other women's escort. If you kaow no other way that ends it." And then Mrs. Sprague's cheery voice hid hailed them as her eager horse came splashing into the stream; no opportunity occurred for further impressive remarks, but as the "field" rode out upon the prairie again and the dogs spread their yelping skirmish line along tho front, Mrs. Belknap felt confident that before they returned to Rossiter she would have her big, simple hearted admirer in some shape for discipline. Two capital runs added to her self satisfaction, for in one of them she was side by side wkh the foremost rider at the finish, and in both she had left the other women far in rear. Then came a third, and with it a revela tion to one and alL It was almost noon, and from a point well out on the prairie to the northeast of Dunraven the "field" was hunting slowly homeward, horses and hounds pretty wed tired out, and the riders quite content with their morning's sport. Up to this time Perry had been in con stant attendance upon Mrs. Lawrence, and had made no effort to join Mrs. Bel knap. Now, however, he could not but see that every little wmie her eyes sought Ids with significant glance and that she was riding well out to the left of the party, Dana faitlifully hovering abeut her. The colonel with Mrs. Sprague ranged alongside just then, and a general conversation ensued, in the course of which Perry found himself, a trifle in the way. If there was one thing fastidious Nolan did not like, it was to be crowded by horses for whom he had no particular respect; and, as a number of riders were grouped about Mrs. Law rence at the moment, it resulted that Nolan's teeth and heels berm to make play, and Perry laughingly resigned his position at her side, in order, as he ex- pressea it, "to give you other ieuows a chance" Even then, as ho fell to the rear, it was with no thought or inten tiou of joining Mr3. Belknap. But, once clear of the merry group, his eyes sought the distant outlines of Dunraven Ranch, glaring in tho noonday sun beyond the Monee, and between him and that mys terious inclosure whither his thoughts were so constantly wandering there rode the dainty lady, the Queen of the Chase, so far as that day wa3 concerned at least, and she was signaling to him with her riding whip. Oddly enough, when Perry rode up to obey her summons. Mr. Dana presently found means to ex- cuso liimself and join the mam body, "Mr. Perry," sho said, as soon as Dana was out of hearing, "Mrs. Page will be with us to-night, cr to-morrow morning at latest. " Will she?" answered he, unconscious, forgetful, and with an air of pleased an ticipation. "How pleasant for you 1 Til come and pay ray respects the very first thing." " xou tlo not understand, was the re proachful response, "You do not care, I presume; but this means that yon and I will have no more long talks and hap py times together. "I'm awfully sorry, Mrs. Belknap, but 1 m blessed ir l can sea why we shouldn't-" "No," deerxnringly, "it is plain enough that you seo nothing. Ah, well!" and the sigh was pathc-tic-prof oun d, and the look from the dark eyes was unuttera ble in its sadness, "I suppose it is better so better so." She was silent a mo ment, and Perry's puzzled faculties took refuge in a long look over toward Dun raven again: he fancied he saw figures moving down the slope on the southern side. Uno thing l want you to promise me. she presently said, sad and soft and low. Thero was no reply. Looking up, she saw his head wa3 averted. Was he feeling the sting, then, after all? Was he actually suffering a little pang after this affectation of nonchalance? "One thing you must promise, for my sake, she repeated. And still no answer came. How odd! Ha was bending over in the saddle as though turning from her, perhaps to hide his face from her and from them &IL He had shifted the reins into his right hand. and was apparently fumbling at the breast of his riding coat with the left. Was it the handkerchief he needed? Were there starting tears in those bine eyes that he dared not let her see? She could not lose that luxury! Out went the little hand and touched his arm. Her tone was sweet, thrilling, appealing, yet commanding; she would see his face. "Mr. Perry Ned! Look at me," "Eh! ohl What! I beg your pardon, Mrs. Belknap, but I was trying to make oat who that was in the timber yonder. looks looks almost use a woman oa horseback, doesnt it?" But when he appealed to herforcoo- ' firmatipn of his timid, half credulous vision he was aghast at tho look In her face, "You were not listening! You were not even thinking of what I was saying!" she began, her white teeth set, her soft lips livid with wrath; but she stildenly controlled herself none toe soon, for Dana came trotting up. "Say, Perry, what do you make that out to bo down there in the vallej? CoL Brainard and I feel sun it 'a a luly on horseback." And, looking at Perry. Mrs. Bclknan saw that he had flushed to the very tem ples that an eager, joyous light had sprung to his eyes; but before sho could say a word there came a shout from the huntsman, a yell from the leading line, a simultaneous yelp from the curs and mongrels among the "irregulars," and her hoc&e leaped at tho bit and went tear ing off toward the Monee, foreiiMwt in mad pursuit of a wild careering "jack." "Comer she called, as the glanced over her shoulder; but the sight was one that only added to her wrath. Nolan, plunging and snorting, was held to the spot, while his rider, sitting like a cen taur, was still eagerly gazing over into the distant cottonwoods. The next in stant she realized that all tho field were thundering at her heels, and the instinct of the sportsman came to her aid. She could not be beaten in the chase. For half a mile Bunny shot like a streak of liirht straight away eouthwestward. tlie hounds bunched in a slaty, swooping cloud not thirty yards behind the bobbing tuft of his tail. Then he began a long circle towards the stream, as though to head for a "break" tliat extended some rods back from the line of bluffs. Another minute and he had readied its partial shelter and darted in. For the next min ute he was lost to sight of his human pursuers, but presently flashed into view again down in the creek bottom and "streaking it" up along tho northern bank, with the whole pack at his heels. The bluffs were steep just here, some of tho riders a triilo timid, and all the "field" reined in a little as they made tho descent; Dana, Mrs. Belknap, Parke, Mrs. Lawrence, Graham, the colonel and Mrs. Sprague straightened out for their pursuit in the order named, the instant they reached the level of the valley. The hounds were far ahead by this time, and the two light troopers in charge of them close at their heels; but who what was the figure that flashed into view between those huntsmen and the field, darting like arrow from the fringe of willows and dashing straight in wake of the quarry? Thirty yards ahead of the foremost riders of the Rossiter party a superb English hunter, the bit in his teeth, his eyes afire and his head high in air, fresh, vigorous, raging with long imprisoned passion for tho sport of the old inland home, gaining on the hounds at every stride, and defy ing tho utmost efforts of his rider, leaped from the covert of the timber into sight of one and all, bearing a lovely but most reluctant victim on his back. In vain with might and main she leaned back and tugged at the reins though checked in his speed, tho horse still tore ahead, keeping straight for the hounds, leaping in his easy stride everv little gully or "branch" that crossed his path. Bunny took a sudden dive into the timber, fairly flew across a narrow, gravelly rapid, and darted up on tho op posite bank; the hounds veered in pur suit, the huntsmen wavered and sought along the bank fur a better place to crosn, but the mettlesomo English bay lunged through in the very wake of the hounds, crumbling the sandy banks and crashing througlTthe pebbly stream bed. Out on the southern slopes went Bunny, close followed by the hounds; out on then- trail went the big hunter, but his rider'a hat has been brushed away in the wild dash through the timber, and now a flame of beautiful golden hah a great wave of light flies on the wind over his glossy back, and, though 6he still leans over the can tie tugging hard at the reins, she is plainly losing strength. Some of the Rossiter party burst through the timber in pursuit; some still ride hopefully up tho north bank, and these are rewarded, for once again poor, badgered, bewil dered Benny makes a sudden swerve. and, throwing half the hounsU far be hind, darts a second time to the shelter of tho banks, with the other half closer at his heels than before. Those who were watching &ee the big hunter making a long, circular sweep, then once again bring up in the wake of the leaders, once more go leaping, plung ing, crashing through the stream, and. in another minute, rabbit, hounds. huntsmen, the "field," and the fan in cognita are all strung out in chase along the northern shore, and all eyes can sec that she is an English girl and well nigh exhausted. Still, no man can catch that hunter and lay hands on the rem. She is riding with the foremost now, leading the troopers, even, and still Bunny spins along in front, tho hounds gnashing not Six feet behind him. A little point of bluff juts out juzt ahead; the stream winds round its base and takes a turn northward for a dozen rods. Bunny shoots the turn like the pilot of the lisrhtning express, the Itounda strain to make it without loss of vantago gained. the bis hunter sways outward to the very vergo of the steep and crumbling bank, and a groan goes up from the breathless pursuers: but he rallies and straightens once more in the track, and the golden liair, streaming in advance, is the oriflamsie of the cliase. Then as they round the point Dana gives a shout of joy. Straight down the slopes. straight and. swift as rode the daring huzzar from whom he got his name. when he bore the fatal message like arrow flight from the Sapoune crest at Balaklara, down the bluffs to the right front comes Nolan, with Ned Perry on his back Perry, with set, resolute, yet almost frenzied face Perry with eyes that flash blue fire In the intensity of their gaze, and Nolan's vigorous strides have brought him in circling sweep, in just ten seconds more, close to the hun ter's quarter, close behind the fluttering kkirt. Just ahead there is another sudden turn to the left; the stream goes one way, the bluffs another, and between Lhem Kes a five-acre patch of level prairie thickly studded, here, there, everywhere. with tiny earthen mounds and tiny, gap ing, treacherous holes a prairie dog village, by all that's awful! and that runaway hunter, mad In the chase of the sweeping Itounda, is in the midst of ."t before mortal hand can check or swerve him. Another second, and they ?ho pursua have veered to right or left or reined up on the verge all save ona. Never faltering, Ned Perry is at her hunter's quarter, almost at her side. They see him purring, they see him bending eagerly towards, her, they see that he is shoaling something to her i leaven knows what! Then there is a oToan of misery an J dread f rota a dozen breasts, a groan that as suddenly bursts '.alo tho gladdest of cheer; th hunter's fort-fool tut cangbt ki uue of the thou sand little death trapa; down he goes, plunging, heaving, quivering, rolling over and over; but Nolan leaps gallantly ahead, and Ned Perry's strong arm has lifted tho ftirl from tho saddle as her steed goes crashing to eartli, and lars her, drooping, faint, frightened, well nigh senseless, but safe and clojxxl tight to his thankful an ! exultant heart. Another inMaut, and Nolan is reined in in the very widt of tho tuniUing hounds, and Gladys Maiitand i the only woman "In at tho Uath." imtit.iud next w-. k. j 111-: WASN'T ;OINJ 'i t) T II- an y Mori-: with The llcvv.
