CHAPTER VI.
CONTINUBD.
Was bo thinking too mush of Ruth
Daly, then I—a young wouian who cauld
never think anything of hitn—who
thought *o little of bin, in fact, that on
ly that morning abe had Mked if it was
his wedding day, strong evideuoe that
abe could not have bad him on ber mind.
Of course that was not likely, he beiug
ou hi? way to fifty and growing iron
gray. Ho hail never paid her any at
tontiou, fi>r that matter; and as for
-■making eyes," thet process iwas far
lunatics uuder twenty,ol fools who went
on their way unblushingly and in a
chronic state of leer. Ab, yea, be waa
a failure; bis scheming had been a fail
are, too, and she had loved young Todd,
after all. Or, if it were impossible to
love that youth—and, npon hi* soul, b«
thought it was impossible—then she was
worldly and selfish, and was regretting
now the chance which situ bad let slip
bv her reserve. Slie bad been quietly
waiting for young Todd, making sure of
his coming presently, and ber disap
pointment at last bad beeu mare than
she could disguise.
Well, be was sorry, he was vexed,
and he brooded until a late hour upon
the whole position, and went to bed
shrugging his shoulders at the weakness
of wouniu—which he had done all his
life, for that matter, before he had met
Miss Duly. Nevertheless, M ij. Craw
utiaw did not give up the luternattonal;
he should do so by and by, but he did
not care to part with Miss Daly on bad
terms, and he thought he should prefer
the final meeting to be pleasant and
friendly, so that thero might be a fair
reminihcence of her forever afterward in
his memory. Confouud it! he was getting
to be an old fool—his sister was right in
ber fears He was softening with un
common rapidity. Sliss Daly continu
ed grave and distaut ill bor manner—
almost as if she owed him a grudgo.
Sl e was alwayß terribly busy with those
abominable account books, and would
not look at him exoept when be eutered
the counting house, and then it was
with so much oalm surprise at his ap
pe*ranoc---nt his impudence in intrud
ing opon the private apartments of tho
international, perhaps—tbat tho poor
major was fairly bowildered and discom
fited.
Ho had it out at last, though The
reader is avraro he planted himself on
being straight-forward. "Miss Daly,"
he Mid, ona morning, "in what way
have 1 offended yon 1"
"I have not said yon have given me
offense," was the alow reply. "I have
no right, poestbly, to take uffouso."
"Bat (till you are offended, and yon
are too truthful a girl to deny it."
"And yon too olenr-aigbted a man
not to know what is the eaoae.f said
Ruth Daly, facing him suddenly.
Tbo tkkjor turnod red and tben pale. |
In all Ins life he bad never felt is a
moie awkward position, but he acted as
a gentleman should to a pretty woman.
He gave in, and acknowledged his trma
gresaioos without attempting an exeuae.
"I beg jsw pardoo, Mils Only,' and
I am very soqqr."
There fu to BKmraful an expression
in the warrior's face that Miss Daly was
sottoned at onoe. This was £ue con
trition.
"Very sorry V she repeated.
•Very."
" J'hen I forgive yon, major, if a poor
girl's forgiveaess isof any value to you."
She held her hand toward him, and was
surprised to find that his was trembling.
"You will not let this happen again,
will yon 1" she said.
"Happen again! What do you say V
••i'ou know—you understand."
"Of course 1 had no idea that you
were fuud of htm. You did n J'. let me
intj that secret, Miss Daly] 1 ' +j.u 1 ga
rnered forth, ' or y(su would havi?touud
me still your friend. But as to this
happening again "
The hand was timidly withdiawo, the
eyes became larger and more luminous.
"What are you talking about?" sho
asked, in fresh amaioment.
"About young Todd," he answered,
"of co'irso."
"I'm not thinking about young
Todd," cried liutb Daly, with a pretty
little petuiaut oatbuist that real,) be
came her. "1 uever have thought
about turn. What has he ever been to
me but a nuisance ?"
"You don't say so!—I am glad—l
Well, then—what is the matter? What
have I douc I"
"You don't kuow I Oh, Maj. Craw
shaw, what is the use of playing tho
hypocrite, and playing it so badly?"
"1 play the hypocrite!" he exclaim
ed, for heaven's sake, girl tell wuat
is my offense."
Ruth Daly looked at hiin again
Bharply and steadfastly, but the bright
gray eyes of the the soldier did not
flinch. He bad had only one idea as to
the cause ot Miss Daly's reserve, and
this being dismissed, be was ntterly
lost. There was no time to eonsider a
a fresh oause of grievanse at this juno
ture.
"You have a very bad memory'" she
said. "Try and think why 1 am here,
and who put me aero."
"Ob:"' said the major,
on the instant.
"It was you who persuaded Mr.
Fresh water to appoint me book-keeper,
it was you who persuaded him—who
offered to pay my (alary, even, and I
I fancied all the time it was my own
wonderful talents whioh bad set me in
ibis place. Yoa bay* rubbed me of my
independence by this; you have lowered
mo in my self-esteem."
"I wished to get you away from Bat
tlcton.
"At any ooit—yes," and the tears
were swimming in her eyes as she spoke;
••but it was for your nephew's sake."
"I'irdon me, Mi* Daly, but it was
for your owu," said tho major. "I
wished to resouo you from a fat?o posi
tion—to place you in a different sphere,
where, at let-st, you should not be ex
posed to the vulgar attentions of a inob.
I wanted you 10 be something better
than a waitress, audi—l certainly told
Mr. Freshwater you deserved to be."
"And bo took your hint, as you were
likely to be a good oustomer," she said,
satirically, "as you had influence and
litany friends, But what eould he have
thought of mo V
"Thought! It be has even had a
thought of you in any way disparaging
I'll knock bis ugly head off' —ay, gad,
I w:ll!" exclaimed tho major warm!v
--••Ob, he has boon very kind in his
way, and I do not tbiuk 1 have served
! him very badly; but 1 must eave tho
International.'"
"My dear —young lady," ho adjed,
with a jerk; "you will nover be so pro
oipitate—you— "
••I havo already given Mr. Freshwa
ter notioe of withdrawal," said Miss
Daly, interrupting him.
"Because I asked bin to place you
bore 1"
"Yes."
The major looked atill more mourn
fully at bar.
'•I suppose it's a proper pride—l
don't know," he mid, helplessly. "I
cannot blame you; and yet I oanuoc but
think yon are aoting very raably. And
upon my honor," be blurted forth, "you
are making me very miserable."
«Yon' Why t"
"Because all this ia my fault— be
cause—Mias Daly." he said, suddenly,
"there ia another roaaon why I plaoed
you beru, whioh no 000 knows but my
self. You mar as well have the whole
truth while I am about it, and then you
can laugh at uie thoroughly aoino day,"
Mis* Daly did not laugh. On the
contrary, aba turned »ery white, guess
ing the whole tratb at once.
"Pray duu't say any more," she
urged.
"Ouly that I love you, Miss D ily,"
said the impetuous major, "and have
loved you iu my quiet, old-fashioned
way ever siuoe 1 spoke to you on that
Sunday morning down in Kattleiou.
Very lidiculoas of me, you will think,
at my age, but I could not help it.
Miss Daly, my life seemed very dull
and lonely after 1 had kuown you, and
there was a faiut hope onco that you
might learu to cure for me a lit 'le.
There, that's the whole truth. Now 1
wish you good day, and take tho liborty
of saying, God you!"
 fT '-iili uu'. I>is hands toward her,
but she did not see them for the
mist belore her eyes. He stooped and
looked more closely into her face, and
saw (hat she was crying.
'•Miss Daly, forgive me if "
"Go now. You are very kind—there
is nothing more to forgive. I—l
Pleasj go now, major, for my sake, will
you not 1"
Still he made no haste to leave her,
being too much of a gentleman to leave
her in tears. There was a softening in
her voice, too, that told him he had not
offended her anew; thero cauic a new
hope to him.
"Kuth," he exclaimed, "if 1 might
only thiuk you would learn to like me
in time, that I was too old for you, or
t-io much of a bear, or- or "
''You will go r.ow, major," she en
treated. putting her hand in his. "You
will give mo time to think of this, a
little time to consider all you b*vc said.
It is like a dream to me at present."
"Not a bad dteam not quite a
nightmare, Miss Daly ? say that."
"No." she murmeied, with ber bead
averted from him.
"And when will you give me an an
swer?" he asked. "To-morrow?"
•'ID a fortnight's time."
"Good Heavens ! What an age of
suspense!"
' 1 am bewildered—l did not think—
I could not believe, I—Major, will you
go!" she said, almost angrily, in her
excitement.
"Certainly. Good;day— good-by,
Miss Ruth ; I am going immediately;"
and he marebed away hurriedly. He
was seen no more for a fortnight at the
International He" was a brave man,
but be bad aot the courage to appear
on til his tiase of suspense was over.
And it had been a great suspense, cow
ering in the shadows of his rooms in the
Albany, a nervous and dispirited man,
and no ono save himself knew what a
dreary, dreadful time of probation it
was. He had set his heart on Bulb
Daly, and it was a heart with only one
idea to distraet it m its sober middle
ate. Had he been a yonnger maa, or
a more frivolous, be might have laughed
himself out of this in a fortnight ; but
life bad never been a laughing iratter
with him, and this love was more than
a jest.
Miss I>aly received him with a fad [
smile that dropped him to zero, hut he j
was mistaken in his fears. She was
very happy now, she Uad made up her
mind to say yes. She knew with whom
she might trust the happiness of her
her life, and whom it would not be diffi
cult to love, even it she did not love
him already. She aocepUd him, und
never repented uiarryiug a man old en
ough to bo her father. Very extraordi
nary, but people don't occasionally.
Tho good folk of Battleton who relied
on the major's dying like a bachelor and
a gentleman, and leaving his worldly
goods among them all, were very much
shocked at tirst: but they all reoovercd
by degrees, all but young Todd who
never forgave his uncle, married and
settled though he was for himself.
It was • deuced shabby tnok," he
once said, "to get me away from the
girl, and then marry her bang off, when
my back was turned. And little Daly
might have known better—ah! and don?
better, too," he added, complacently.
•She bad one good obanoo for berselt at
the Janotion, but she lot it go by.
Just like • woman, that was!"

LATEST DECISION.
The latest posta! decision is to the ef
fect that publishers of newspapers can,
under the law, arrest any man for fraud
who takes a paper and refuges to pay
for it. Uuder this law it is a dangerous
triok for a man to allow his subscrip
tion to ran on for six months to a year
and a half, or even three yeavs, and then
tell the poatmaster to mark it "refused"
or seed the editor a postal oard to dis
continue the paper—Wilmington

CONVICT LABOR—PUBLIC
ROADS.
The unbjeot of working tho State
convicts on the public roads seems to
be meeting' with fayor from the State
Press. The H'urrenton (iazette favors
each county keeping its convicts at home
and building up its own highways, and
when some counties have not a sufficient
number for several to combiao and work
under ono management.—N C. Far
mer.
The id-ja is on > certainly deserving
of consideration. There are reasons of
State p-' ; cy and of Immunity why con
victs should not be employed noon pri
vate enterprises. .uicstiines there are
adminisiiative dihieultics in the way
wbich would make it difficult to put the
prrposal mto execution with economy
and with fairness to all sections of the |
State. If these objections be removed, j
we know of no better use to which the !
convicts could be put. The same rca- i
:,o.iing which would make this proper
employment for the penitentiary con
victs woull suggest a similar use of
those sentenced to the county jails.
These people now not only produce
nothing but are a eerious charge upon
the tax payers. A small additional ex
penditure would more than repay us in
tho improvement that be made
in the public roads by tho jail conviots,
while there would be less difficulty in
distributing their labor than in tbo case
of those from tho penitertiary. Possi
bly it would be well to abolish the State
penitentiary, make all imprisonment for
bard labol and work the convicts within
the counties wore they were sentenced.
The whole subject is so important that
Its solution requires considerable
thought.—Shelby Era.
We rro itrong!) ill fayor of each
county baring charge of its convicts to
wcrk on tbe country roads- Let it
be one of the issues this fall, to change
| tbe law so as to allow the pdges to
give judgment upon the jury's verdict
of guilty, for, to mon;. tnoaths haH la
bor on the public roadt in tbe count;
where the offense was committed, und.
er tbe control of tbe count; commission
ers. For tbe higher giade of crimes
let the conviut go to the penitentiary.
But it would bo better still to sa; in
all oaaei where tbe punishment it less
than three years, that the oonrt shall
sentence to bard labor upon the oounty
roads, unless the county commissioners
shall notify the judge at each court that
they don't want the conviots In that
case let them go up higher. But this
way jndges hare of continiug convict*
iu the count; jail 4, 6, or 12 months to
i be fed by the oouat; is all wrong and
i ought to be changed at onoc.—-Scotland

WHEN A MAN BECOMES 01' LE
GAL AGE.
The qusstioii sometimes arises wheth
er a man is entitled to vota at an elec
tion held on the day proceeding the twen
ty-first anniversar; of his birth. We
answer he oan. Blackstono in bis Com
mciiiaries, book i, 4G3, siys "full age
l iu male or female is tweuty-ono years,
which ago is completed on the day pro
ceeding the anniversary of » person's
birth, who till that tiiue is au infant and
so styled in law." The late Chief Jus
tice S liars wood in his edition »f Black
! stonn's Commenlarut quotes Christian's
j note on the above as follows:
j "If iii! is boru on tne 16th of Feb.
I 1608 ho is of .'go to do any legal act on
: the morning of the 15th of Kob. 1629,
though be may not have lived twonty
onc years by nearly forty eight hoars.
The rcusou assigned is that in law there
is no fraction of a day, and if the birth
were on the last second of one day, and
the set of the first seoimd of the preceed
ing day twenty one years after, then
• twenty one years would be complete;
. and in tho law it is the same whether a
, thing is done upon one moment of the
. day oi another." The same high
authority (Sharswood) adds in a note of
hi* own, "A person is of full ago the
day before tho twenty-first anniversary
of his birth day."
