FAR IN THE SOUTH.
J"ar in the south the redwings hear, and speed
To answer Nature's far heard northern cry.
Swift from the Acids, they gather, and take on
The burden of a Journey. Young and old
Bwing upward to the sun, as if the need
Of earth and of her comfort were gone by,
And guided by the star of memory run
Upon the trembling air. If, losing hold
With weary wing, one settle to the land.
If sideways glancing from the flight, one see
A fairer light than hope; or faltering.
Another answer to the white command
Hurled upward from the gun—yet joyfully
The happy flight speeds ouward with the
spring.
—Harper's Weekly.
HOUSE TO LET.
"We have got to move I" sighed Selina
Spencer. The wind rustled in the leafless
poplar trees, the muslin curtains flapped
in the draft. Old Dorcas, the colored
servant, went on sprinkling the pillow
cases on the pine table in the corner.
"I've seen it coming this long time,"
■aid Selina. "The landlord has been as
good and considerate as possible"
"De lan'lord's an old harpy!" said Dor
cas. "Lan'lords allays isl"
"No, he's not," persisted Selina. "We
owe him eight months' rent already, and
I do not know how he is ever to get his
money. I would offer him the piano
and the carved rosewood parlor set, if I
thought they would possess any value in
his eyes—in part payment I mean."
Dorcas rolled up the coffee colored
whites of her eyes.
"Dat piano as was Miss Adelaide's
•when fire' she come from Baltimo' board
ing school!" said she. "Dat lubly fun
chure as was made to order in Annap'lisl
No, Miss Lina—not wiv dis chile's con-
Bent!"
And she rolled a thin old damask ta
ble cloth very tight and packed it into
the basket with emphasis.
"Mamma must know nothing of this,
Dorcas," said Selina sadly.
"Dunno how you'se gwine to keep it
from her, Miss Lina."
"It can be done, Dorcas. I've thought
it all out," said the girl. "She must be
made to suppose that she's goingto spend
a few days with my employers at New
port"
"Has dey done asked her, Miss Lina?'"
"No, you goosel I don't suppose that
they even know that I've got a mother.
I am only a typewriter and stenographer
in their eyes, and render my services at
bo much a day. Mrs. Plinlimmon is
known all through New York as a fe
male philanthropist, but while she's
helping poor immigrants out of the
Blums and rectifying the slopshop ques
tion, she don't appreciate that a well
dressed southern lady may be in sore
straits. But she'll make as good a fig
urehead as any other."
"Miss Lina," said Dorcas, after a brief
silence, during which she rolled and
sprinkled, patted and folded with un
ceasing vigilance.
"Well?"
"I knows whar I could git four dol
lars a week for laundress, or five for
cook. T'ink o' dat, Miss Lina."
"Do you want to leave us, Dorcas?"
The old woman uttered a subdued
groan. "Lord knows it ain't dat, Miss
Lina! Lord knows it's honor enough to
work for de ole Spencersl But it's
money we uns wants —an ebery cent o*
de ole woman's wages, dey'll come back
to ole missus and Miss Lina."
The long lashes dropped over Selina
Spencer's lovely hazel eyes. "It's of no
rise. Dorcas," said she. "We've got to
bend before the storm. Hush! Do you
hear that tapping?"
"Somebody knocking at de do'l" cried
Dorcas. "Why on arf don't dey ring do
bell?"
"No," Selina, detaining her as she
was about to answer the supposed sum
mons. "It's the agent putting np the
•To Let.' But whatever happens, Dor
cas, don't let mamma knowl"
She rose, and getting up her hat and
gloves, went tip the wide, gloomy old
staircase. Dorcas looked after her and
shook her turbaned head.
"Meks b'lieve she's pow'ful brave!"
muttered she. "T'inks ole Dorcas dunno
she's cryin dis berryminute! Why didn't
she marry Mars George Berkeley when
he axed her an sabe herse'f all this trou
ble?"
Up in the dimly lighted sitting room
Mrs. Spencer sat, a faded belle of the
olden days. The piano was open, the
window was full of carefully tended
plants; a pink shaded lamp burned on
the table, and Mrs. Spencer herself was
engaged in crewel work with slow, lan
guid fingers.
"Yon are later than usual tonight, Se
lina," said she fretfully. "Perhaps your
idea of a dutiful daughter is different
from mine, but 1 think any amount of
Shakespeare and Browning classes
oughtn't to take so much of your time
away from your mother."
"I stopped to give Dorcas orders in the
kitchen, mamma," Selina cheerfully
answered. "But Tm all ready now.
What shall I read to you until the tea
comes up?"
"Well," said the poor lady feebly, *Td
like a few chapters of the 'Scottish
Chiefs.' It was the first novel my dear
papa ever allowed me to read—and In
my opinion your 'Onidas" and 'Braddons*
don't come near it."
And while Selina read ont the trials of
Helen Mar and Brace the brave, she
wondered how on earth she should man
age about showing tho house to the eager
sightseers who would be sure to be at
tracted by the legend "To Let" on the
morrow.
"Can't go in dat ar rooml" said Dor
cas, interposing her stout figure between
a hard featured house hunter and the
door of Mrs.-Spencer's boudoir. "Cat's
private, dat ar is!"
"Anything wrong in the room?" sharp
ly questioned th* woman.
''No'm," stolidly responded Dorcas.
"Ceilings cracked? Water pipes i
burst?"
"No'm."
"Then why can't I see It?" with a
•.udflen push in that direction.
She might as well have attempted to
charge a battery of artillery. Old Dorcas |
stood immovable.
"Lady ain't well, mum," said she.
"Can't nobody go in au t iuu ui; you
bo afore!"
"Anything contagions?"
"No'm."
-Sure?"
"Yes'm, sartin shnahl"
"Very well," said the- house hunter,
with a forward jerk of her «hin; "1 shall
lax* no bouse that 1 can't s«je evory incu
•rTV«Bd she fiauaeod #«t.
THE HERALD. TUESDAY MORNING 1 . JANUARY 5, 1892-
All day long Dorcas fought the army
of investigators valiantly, and at night,
as she herself observed, "she was jes' as
tired as rf she'd done a double day's
wash." Stout ladies peered into the sub
cellar and denounced the drainage; lean
ladies poked their parasols into the
kitchen sink and tore off strips of the
hall paper. Deep voiced men parleyed
as to the monthly rental; fat old gentle
men asked questions in hnsky accents.
"I shall go crazy," said Dorcas.
The next morning", however, dove
winged Peace once more settled down on
the field of action. The agent came np
and removed the bill.
"The house is taken," said he.
"Who's took itf" demanded Dorcas,
who chanced just then to be scouring
the brasses. But the agent either did
not know or would not tell. Dorcas
heaved a deep sigh. "Den," says she,
"we've got to cl'ar ont."
The landlord sent Selina a polite note
in a day or two. He had concluded, he
wrote, to accept her offer of the furni
ture and belongings as an equivalent for
a certain portion of the unpaid rent.
"Now," said Dorcas, "what ls we to
do?"
Poor Mrs. Spencer was all in a flutter.
The Newport scheme delighted her, and
she was very busy looking over her
wardrobe with reference to the coming
visit. Selina had written to the aunt of
an old schoolmate of hers, who kept a
boarding house in the fair seaside city
asking her lowest price for a comfort
able room. Dorcas was to go with Mrs.
Spencer as attendant and maid, and
Selina had resolved to hire a room in
New York and board herself as well as
she could.
"But this has been a dear old home,"
she murmured. "I wonder who will
sleep in my room; I wondef whose hands
will strike the yellow keys of mamma's
old piano and dust my flowing blue
china and arrange the old fiddle backed
chairs."
The purple sunlight shone softly in;
the scent of a stalk of hyacinths in a
glass on the mantel brought back remi
niscences of the old southern flower gar
dens, and all of a sudden a voice which
she had last heard in those very gardens
struck on her ear.
"Selina—have I startled you?"
"Mr. Berkeley!"
He extended a cordial hand.
"Perhaps you fancied that I could not
trace you out?" said he. "But lam bet
ter at hide and seek than yon thought.''
She courtesied haughtily. His hand
some countenance fell. Evidently he
was deeply disappointed.
"Are you not glad to see me, Selina?"
he exclaimed. "Ah, Selinal I had count
ed so much on this interview! I bad
planned to renew my suit —to ask you
once more to be my wife."
She drew her slight figure up.
"You are presuming too much on my
very evident poverty, Mr. Berkeley,"
said she. "I refused you when I was
Miss Spencer, of Spencer Vale. What
sort of a woman should 1 be if I were
now to accept you—simply an a protec
tion against adversity?'
"But, Selina"
"Pray excuse me from any further dis
cussion of the question," said Selina.
"May 1 not hope to see your mother?"
he persisted.
"I should prefer not."
"Do you know, Selina," he said, after
a brief silence, "that this is a very bit
ter mortification to me?"
"Is it? Then what must it be to me?"
she retorted, almost fiercely, looking np
at him
He stood a second or two gazing sadly
at her. Stung by the scrutiny, she
swept from the room like an angered
princess.
Half a minute later she came hurrying
back, full of sweet, strange misgivings.
But he was gone.
"1 have let another opportunity slip
by!" she murmured. "Oh, heavens!
where is my life drifting to?"
At that moment Aunt Dorcas ushered
in the landlord, a fussy, bald headed old
gentleman with a fur collar to his coat.
"Good evening, Miss Spencer," said
he. "I expected to meet the new party
here."
"The—l beg your pardon," said Sel
ina.
"The gentleman who has purchased
this house and furniture," explained Mr.
Beasley, "and settled it on yourself and
your mother. A friend of yours, I sup
pose—Mr. Berkeley."
Standing sadly in the shadow of the
rustling poplar boughs outside George
Berkeley felt the magnetic influence of
another presence. A soft voice stirred
the twilight air, like the fair off music of
forgotten days.
"Mr. Berkeley," it said—"Georgel—
please will you forgive me?"
A dead silence ensued.
"Won't you, George?" with a little sob
in the voice. "I—l didn't mean to speak
so harshly to you. I didn't know then
what I know now of your noble gener
osity."
Silence —only silence still.
"If I accept it for dear mamma's sake,
you surely will not misinterpret me,
00, George! how can you be so cruel?
Why don't you answer me? What are
you waiting for me to say?"
And still no word broke that haunting
silence!
"George," in a low voice, "Tve
changed my mind. I will be your wife?"
He took her in his arms.
"Dear sweetheart!" he murmured.
"Dear little melting snt>w wreath. 1
knew that love would conquer you at
last!"
When Mrs. Spencer heard of the en
gagement she said quietly:
"I always thought they cared for each
other, but since your master died, Dor
cas, my poor head has scarcely been
itself; but make haste and finish the
packing. We are going to Newport, are
we not?"
And so the wedding trip was to Ne-w
--port.—Toronto Mail.
She Oommltted Sutclde.
Mrs. F. C. Boe, at Watkins, left this letter:
"My husband—Forgive me if I cause you trou
ble, but I suffer so. You do not know what
hese long, wakeful, wretched nights are to
me, and lam so tired, darling—the pain will
never be better It is noteasy to lake my owu

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LOCATION.
THE FINEST CLIMATE IN THE WORLD.
THE BEST SOIL,
THE BEST WATER RIGHT
Of any Irrigation District In Southern Califor
nia, and one ot the strongest companies back
of it in ihe state, composed of men of unlimit
ed means and business capacity that have
made success of everything they have under
taken. Alcssandio also owes its success, not
only to above, but largely to the character oi
the men who have come there to make it their
future homes. A class of thrifty, intelligent,
Industrious men, who have already made their
presence felt, and are living there today in
moderate luxury, comfort and good health.
With such a class of settlers already on the
land and constantly arriving, we predict in
FOUR YEARS' TIME

He who invests his money today in Alessandro
lards takes no chances and makes no mistakes
Every new comer, every new length of pipe,
every dollar laid out in improvement, increases
the value of every acre on the tract. While
you sleep your land grows in value. People,
''plenty of them" are rich today who bought
land in Redlands four years ago, simply by ad

now will reap tne same reward, and more,
for the advance will be more rapid and sure.
