Respectfully, W. H. MATTHEWS. J. L. TEMPLE TON. Yorkvllle, S. C. Not a Dull Line in It. Of "Cherub Devine," The Ga zette's serial story which will begin in an early issue, The Chicago Ev ening Post has this to say: "Cher ub is closely related to Shorty Mc- Cabe and the family likeness Is strong. He is up to the minute in slang, quick witted, wholesouled and of the kind which the sporting editor would say, 'will not be de nied.' He is a stock market million aire who buys the country seat of an aristocratic family broken in fort une. On taking possession he finds hidden away In a wing of the man sion part of this family and a girl. She undertakes to teach him to be a 'gentleman.' In describing the process Mr. Ford delivers himself of excellent satire on the Ideas some people have of the signification of that word and their views of un polished manliness." Women Growing Taller. Marcel Prevost, in the New York American. Strange news comes to os from England. Women are growing. This does not mean that the sex Is widening Its sphere of influence or that women are strengthening their hold upon society, nor that they are developing intellectually. but that they are ever growing tall er than they used to be. Not this or that particular woman, but the whole sex in general or at least wo men In civilized countries. The av erage woman is steadily growing taller. Young glrla of from fifteen to eighteen are even now three Inch es taller than their mother. In 1895 the average height of a young girl was only five feet three Inches. Now she is at least five feet Ave, and the growth continues. "So much the better," you may say- "This is making a more ro- bust, more majestic race, and to ward the middle of the twentieth century we shall see 'magnificent couples, such as those which aston ished the Roman conquerers In the barbarian provinces at the time of Caesar." But you are mistaken. It Is not the race which Is (row ing taller. It is woman woman alone. Her companion remains sta tionary, or Is even Inclined to grow smaller. Thus the 'difference in height, which was the pride of the masculine sex. Is little by little dis appearing. When the average wo man shall be fire feet eight or even Ave feet ten, the masculine sex shall have lost this advantage for good and ever, and the young man will have to look up to met his sweet heart's eye.

THE RETURN. , ROM the highlands below the Monastery Captain Uaas and his men were able to study the situation in the city. The Im practicability of an assault on any one of the stubborn, well guarded gates was at once recognised. A force of 700 men. no matter bow well trained or bow determined, could not be ex- nected to surmount walla that had often withstood the attack of as many thousands. The wisdom of delaying until a few thousand loyal though noorlv armed countrymen could be brought into play against tbe city ap pealed at once to Prince Oantan and John Tunis. ' Squads of men were sent without de lay into tbe bills aud valleys to call the panic 8 trie ken. wavering farrue.r into tbe fold. Jobu Tullis headed the company that struck off into tbe well populated Ganlook district Marlanx. as if realizing the nature of the movement in the bills, began a furious assault on tbe gates leading to the castle. Tbe watchers in the hills could see as well as bear the conflict that raged almost at tbelr feet, so to speak. The next morning Captain Iluas an nounced to his followers that Marlaux bad begun to shell tbe castle. Big guns In the fortress were burling great shells over the city, dropping tbetu In tbe park. On the other band. Colonel Quinnox during the night bad swung three Gatllng guns to tbe top of tbe wall; they were stationed at Intervals along the wall, commanding every point from which an assault might be expected. That night recruits from the farms and villages began to straggle into the camp. Tbey were armed with rifles, ordinary shotguns and unique blun derbusses, swords, staves and aged lances. All were willing to die in tbe service of the little prince. By tbe close of the second day nearly 3.(100 men were encamped above the city. Late that night John Tullis rode Into camp at the head of a great company from the Ganlook province. He bad retaken the town of Ganlook. seized the fortress and recruited the entire fighting strength of the neighborhood. More than that, be bad un limbered and conveyed to the provisional camp two of the big guns that stood above tbe gates at tbe fortress. Marlanx trained two of bis big guns on tbe camp In the hills. From the fortress he threw many futile shells toward their place of shelter. Tbey did no damage; Instead of death, they brought only laughter to the scornful camp. Under cover of night the two Ganlook cannons were planted in a po sition commanding the southeastern city gate. It was the plan of tbe new besiegers to bombard this gate, tear ing it to pieces with shot The knowledge that Marlanx bad no big guna except those stationed in the fortress was most consoling to Tullis and his friends. He could not destroy the castle gates with shells, except by purest chance. He could drop shells into the castle, but to bit a gate twenty feet wide? Never! Truxton King was growing haggard from worry and loss of sleep. He could not understand the abominable. criminal procrastination. He was of a race that did things with a dash and on tbe spur of the moment His soul sickened day by day. John Tullis. equally unhappy, but more philosoph ical, often found blm seated upon a rock at the top of the ravine, an un- lighted pipe in his fingers, bis eyes In tent upon tbe hazy castle. Theer un. Klnar. Our time will come." he was wout to say. Then came the night before tbe pro posed assault on tbe gates. Tbe guns were in position, and the cannonading was to begin at daybreak. Truxton was full of the bitterness of doubt and misgiving. Was she in love with Vos Engo? Was the count's suit progressing favorably under tbe fire of the enemy? Was his undoubted bravery having its effect upon tbe wavering susceptibilities of tbe dis tressed Loralne? The sound of a voice in sharp com mand attracted his attention. There was a bright moon, and Truxton could see other pickets hurrying to Join tbe first A few moments later several trespassers were escorted through the lines and taken directly to headquarters a man and two wo men. King observed. John Tullis was staring bard at tbe group approaching from tbe roadway. One woman walked ahead of her com panions. Suddenly be sprang forward with a cry of amazement It was the Countess Ingomede. Her arrival created a sensation. In a moment she was in tbe center of an amazed circle of men. Tullis, after his first low, eager greeting at tbe edge of the fire circle, drew her near to the warmth giving flames. Prince Dantan and Captain Haas threw rugs and blankets in a great heap for her to sit upon. Every oue was talking at once. The countess was smiling through her tears. "Make room for my maid and her father. They are colder and more fatigued than I," she said. lifting her tired, glorious eyes to John Tullis, who stood beside ber. "We have come from Balak. - Tbey suffered much that I might enjoy tbe slender comforts I was so ready to share with them." "Thank God. you are hereP be said In low. intense tones. She could not mistake the fervor In bis voice nor the glow in his eyes. I knew you were here, John. 1 am not going back to Count Marlanx. It to ended." I knew it would come. Ingomede. You will let me tell you bow glad , 1 am tome day." Some day, when I am truly, wholly tree from blm, John. I know what you will say, and I think 70a know what I ball say la reply.1 Both un- F derstood and were exalted. No other word passed between them touch In upon the thing that was uppermost la their tainds. r , . . v -Food" was provided for the way far ers, and Tullis' tent was made ready for the countess and her maid. Tbe countess story waa soon told, Bitting before the great fire, surround ed by eager listeners, she related ber experiences. She ,had been seised on the night of the ball as she started across ber father's garden, and . escape bad be come possible only through tbe aid of Josephs and the girl's father. . Farm ers' wives told them of the newly formed army and of its leaders. She determined to make her way to the camp of those who would destroy her husband, eager to give tbem any as sistance that her own knowledge of Marlanx's plans might provide. one Dit or information sue gave created no end of consternation among the would be deliverers of the city. It bad the effect of making them all tbe more resolute; the absolute necessity for Immediately regaining control In the city was forced upon them. She told tbem that Count Marlanx had lately received word that the Grand Duke Paulus was likely to intervene before many days, ( acting on bis own Initiative, in tbe belief that be could force the government of Grauatark to grant the railway privileges so mucb desired by his country. Marlanx re alized that he would have to forestall the. wily grand duke. If he were in absolute control of the Grauatark gov ernment when the Russian appeared ne, ana ne alone, would te in a posl tion to deal with the situation. "Tbe grand duke may send a large force of men across tbe border at any time." said the countess In conclusion. "Count Marlanx Is sure to make a de cisive assault as soon as he bears that the movement has begun. He had hopes of starving them out, thus sav ing the castle from destruction, but as that seems unlikely his shells win soon begin to rain In earnest upon the dear old pile. Truxton King was listening with wide open ears. As she finished this dreary prediction he silently arose to bis feet and. without a word to any one, stalked off In the darkness. Tul lis looked after him and shook bis head sadly. I'll be happy on that fellow's ac count when daybreak comes and we are really at It" he said to Prince Dantan, who knew something of King's affliction. But Truxton King was not there at daybreak. When be strode out of the camp that night he left it behind for ever. The unfortunate lack of means to communicate with the occupants of the castle bad been the source of great distress to Captain Haas. If the de fenders could be Informed as to the exact hour of the assault from the out side they could do mucb toward its speedy success by making a fierce sor tie from behind their own walla A quick dash from the castle grounds would serve to draw Marlanx's atten tion In that direction, diminishing the force that he would send to check the onslaught at the gates. Truxton King had all this in mind as be swung off down the mountain road, having stolen past the sentries with comparative ease. The danger from Marlanx's scouts outside tbe city was not great: they had been scattered and beaten by Haas' recruiting par ties. He stood in more danger from the men he would help, they who were the watchful defenders of tbe castle. It must have been 2 o'clock when he crossed the king's highway, a mile or more above the northern gates, and struck down into the same thick un dergrowth that bad protected bim and Hobbs on a memorable night not long before. At 3 o'clock a dripping figure threw up bis bands obligingly and laughed with exultation when confronted by a startled guardsman inside the castle walls and not more than fifty yards from the water gate. He shouted a friendly cry as he advanced toward the man, calling out his own name. Ten minutes later he was standing in the presence of tbe haggard, nerve racked Quinnox. pouring into his as tonished ears the news of the coming attack. Tbe colonel lost no time In routing out the sleeping guardsmen and reserves and in sending com mands to those already on duty at the gates. When the sun peeped over the lofty bills he saw inside the gates a rest less, waiting company of dragoons ready for the command to tide forth. Meantime King had crossed the grounds with Colonel Quinnox on the way to the castle. He was amazed, al most stupefied, by the devastation that already had been wrought A dozen or more balls had crashed into the facade. Yawning fissures, gigantic boles, mark ed the path of the ugly messengers from Marlanx. Nearly all of tbe win dows had been wrecked by riflemen who shot from the roofs of palaces in and about the avenue. Two of the smaller minarets were in ruins. A buge pillar in tbe lower balcony was gone. The terrace bad been plowed up by single ricoc netting shell. "Great God!" gasped King. It to frlghtfuir - ' They began bombarding yesterday afternoon. We were asked to surren der at 3 o'clock. Our reply brought tbe shells, Mr. King. It was terrible. After the first two or three shells we found place of shelter' for the prince and bis friends.- - They are In the atone tower beyond the castle. Tbe most glorious courage to shown. Count Vos Engo guards tbe prince and the ladles of tbe household. Ala, it was I hunger that we feared the most To day we should nave resorted to horse's flesh. There was ao other way.-we knew that relief would come someday. John Tullis was there. And now It to today! Tbla shall be our day; thank Oodr. : . ,- ' ; -. ,' Attendants sped to tbe tower, shout ing the battle tiding. ' -7 The prince came tumbling down the narrow Iron stairs from bis room above, shouting Joyously to Truxton King. No man was ever so welcome. He was besieged with questions, hand shakings and praises. Even the Duke of Perse, hobbling on crutches, bad a kindly greeting for him. Tears stream ed down the old man's cheeks when -King told him of his daughter's safe arrival in the friendly camp. , ,. ,. , But Just now Truxton was staring? -at the narrow staircase. Vos Engo 'and Loralne were descending slowly. The former was white and evidently ; very weak. He leaned on the girl for support. Count Halfont offered tbe explana tion. "Vos JCngo was shot last week through the shoulder. He to too brave to give up, as you may see. It hap pened on the terrace. There was an unexpected fusillade from the house tops. Eric placed himself between the marksmen and Miss Tullis. A bullet , that might have killed ber instantly struck bim in the shoulder. King never forgot tbe look In Lo- ralne's eyes as she came down the steps. Joy and anguish seemed to combine themselves in that long, in tense look. She gave bim her hands. Tbe look in her tired eyes went straight to ble heart Vos Engo, drew back, his face-' set in a frown of displeasure. "My brother?" she asked, without taking her gnze from his eyes. "He Is well. He will see you today. "And you, Truxton?" was her next question, low and quavering. Unharmed and unchanged, Lo ralne," he said softly. "Tell me. did Vos Engo stand between you and the fire from the"- "Yes, Truxton," she said, dropping" her eyes as if in deep pain. "And you have not broken your promise to htm?" "No; nor have I broken my prom ises to you." "He is a brave man. I can't help saying it" said t he American, deep lines suddenly ap p e a ri n g in his face. Swiftly he turned to Vos En go, extending hi hand. "My band, sir, to a brave man!" Vos Engo stared "iron have i bbot KEN MT PROMISE TO TOD." at bim for a moment and then turned away, Ignoring the friendly hand. A hot flush mounted to Loralne' s brow. Vos Engo's response was a short, bit ter laugh. (To he continued.) Bloodine Itching and Bleeding Ointment Piles, Psoriasis, Salt Cures Rheum, Pimples, Ras- Eczem lies, Dandruff and Fall ing Hair.

How welcome is lovely spring, After winter with all its gloom; How sweet the breeze From the budding trees, And the flowers' sweet perfume. The birds are with us again; And their melody makes us glad, As their clear sweet notes On the still air float, The heart forgets to be sad. All nature is busy and gay, As if beginning life anew. From the oak on the hill, To the grass by the rill, All are striving their work to do. Dame Nature a lesson hath taught, On waking from her winter's sleep; That the work of our youth Is Indeed and In truth, To sow, for others to reap. The ox will feast on the tender grass, And rest in the oak's broad shade. Birds nestled 'mong the boughs. May list to love's vows, When the day is beginning to fade.
