AGNES TRACY'S
MISTAKE.
it was one of the loveliest of Sep
tember days. A soft, dreamy haze
was over the hills and sloping val
leys and the bright waters of the
Chesapeake gleamed and Hashed in
the afternoon sunlight like molten
silver.
Hut it was the lovely taee of Agnes
Tracy that I was watching, not the
beautiful panorama which glided
past us as the steamboat moved
majestically on her way, farther and
farther from the scene of my sum
mer's holiday.
I was in love with Agnes Tracy,
hopelessly, as I believed—for it was
saiil that she had been engaged to
Hugh Morton for months, and his
attention to her during the past sum
mer and the kindness with which
she smiled on him, seemed to war
rant the truth of t^ie report.
At this moment lie was bending
over her, speaking in an earnest im
passioned manner, that oaused my
heart to throb with jealous fury.
She averted her face from his gaze
and us she did so her eyes caught
mine.
A vivid Hush dyed her cheek, and
I turned, with something akin to
hate rankling in my breast, toward
the man who had won the heart of
the only woman I had ever loved.
"Did you ever see a lovlier view ?"
said the soft voice of Nora Tracy,
Agnes' younger sister, at my side.
She was fair and sweet as a spring
violet, and had I not been ho madl y
in love with Agnes her shy
beauty would have wakened in my
heart something more than friend
ship.
"It is, indeed, lovely," l respon
ded, "and one which would arouse
the soul of an artist to enthusiasm.
Hut such a cold, practical nature as
mine, Miss Nora, has outgrown all
such feelings long ago, and I find
myself wondering how profitable

and if it would not he a paying in
vestment to buy and stock some of
this line pasture land.
A low, incredulous laugh behind
startled me, and the next moment
the clear voice of Agnes spoke.
•'How refreshingly practical you
are, Mr. Hunter ! When wo were
down at Ocaan View I fancied you
quite enthusiastic, over the rocks
and the breakers that night of the
storm, but I suppose I wits mistak
en in your sentiments."
I colored and bit my lips, and
Hugh Morton, who hail followed
Agnes to where we stood, looked
Hushed and annoyed, as he always
did when an allusion was made to
that night when Agnes and I had
been out in the storm alone, and
death had stared us in the face to

"There are moments in life," I,
replied, " when everything combi
nes to stir in a man's soul a depth of
feeling which he had never suspec
ted lie possessed before. That night
of the storm was such an era to me
Miss Agnes."
Something of the passion which
filled my heart on that night when I
dared for a moment to hold Agnes
Tracy in my arms, came to me now,
and must of found expression in
my voice, for her dark eyes dropped
beneath my gaze and a warm Hush
mounted to her forehead.
She made no reply, and Hugh
Morton led lier to the other end of
the boat.
Again Nora's little bird-like voice
broke in on my disturbed thoughts.
"What a fearful night tlmt must
of been ! And yet Agnes told me,
when hIic got hack, all drenched
and shivering as she was, that she
had never been so happy in her life
as out in that awful storm. But
then Agnes is so brave and loves
things which frighten and appal
me."
My heart gave a great hound ol
joy. Did she, then, love me ? The
thought was joy unutterable, hut I
dare not harbor it.
I lingered with Nora for over an
hour, listening to her sweet, child
like prattlo, and striving in vain to
repress the feeling of triumph tlmt
swelled in my heart when her in
nocent confession of her sister's
words came across me.
The sun sank, like a great bull of
fire, below the western sky, and the
bright stars peeped out, one by one
and were reflected in the shining
water beneath in throbbing quiver
ing brightness.
The rest of the party were on the
other end of the boat, enjoying the
full beauty of the moonlight, and I
was standing over the railing, in the
shadow of the piolot house, when a
soft, hesitating step caused me to
turn.

The dark eyes of Agnes Tracy

me of coquetry. I never new till to

could I show or confess my love
until you had offered yours to me ?
Now—''and her sweet voice faltered
a little—"I am not ashamed to tell
you that I have always loved you,
and that Hugh Morton is nothing
but a friend."
Was I dreaming ? I took her in
my nrms and pressed a passionate
kiss upon her lips.
"Agnes, my darling, I can scare

you really love me and will be my
wife?"
The smiling "yes" had scarcely
left her lips when Hugh Morton
stood before us.
"Allow me to present to you my
aflianeed wife," I said, .as coolly as I
cuuld speak.
His face was gastly in the moon
light and a bitter smile curved his
lips.
"I wish you both much joy. This
is rather a different meeting from
the one I appointed, Miss Tracy ;
hut as you are satisfied, I must not
complain."
And he turned and walked rap
idly away.
"The meeting that he appointed I
I do not understand !" And then a
sudden Hush leaped to lier face and
her voice trembled as she asked :
Did you not write to me to meet
you here at this hour, Harold ? Did
you not tell me that you had always
loved 1110 since you first saw me
and accused me of coquetry and all
sorts of dreadful things because I
did not smile exclusively upon
you I"
Her clear eyes were reading my
face. I saw there had been a mistake
and I took her to my heart again
us I answered :
"No, dearest, I did not write all
this to you, but I have always loved
yon from the first moment I be
held you, and I am now the proud
ist and happiest man in the world,
assured, as I am, that my love is
returned. There has been some
strange mistake, but it has raised
me from the depths of despair to the
highest pinnacle of joy, and has, I
trust, crowned two lives with a ne
ver-ending happiness."
She drew a little crumpled note
from her bosom.
"Is not this from you ? And not
these your initials ?;'
Certainly the hastily written, half
illegible letters looked like H. II.
but a closer examination showed
they were intended for H. M.
Hugh Morton had written the
note which she had supposed was
from me, and a liappy chance had
done the rest.
This was two years ago. Agnes
has been my wife for eighteen mou
ths, and little Nora is now Hugh
Morton's promised bride. He Beems

Trip to Dorchester County.
HY 1IIKD, E. m'KINSKY.
Tuesday afternoon, June 5th, '88,
with satchel in hand, the writer
started enroute for Taylor's Island,
Dorchester county. A three miles
walk from our boarding place
brought us to Stephen Woodrow's,
Escp, where a weary and hungry
itinerant is sure to find a hearty
welcome and a good .supper. After
tea, Mr. Frank, the eldest son, drove
us to Port Deposit, a distance of five
miles. Arrived just in tijne to fill
an engagement tô talk "temperance"
before the Y. P. T. Association of
Tome Memorial M. li. Church. At
the close of the lecture, 2! hours was
pleasantly spent with W. C. C. Van
né man, President of the Association,
at his home. Bro. V. is one of Port's
most popular young men, being
both prominent in society and use
ful in temperance and church work.
A midnignt drive along the pictur
esque Susquehanna to I'erryvillc,
was one of the pleasant incidents of
the trip. On one side the rippling
waters, on the . other granite rocks
towered majestically many feet from
the water's edge. Ahead of us the
B. & O. R. R. bridge spanned the
river, and about a mile still farther
down the stream the P.j W. & B.
bridge could be seen by starlight
reaching as a thread from shore to
shore. At Perryville the 12:57 train
going south, was boarded, and the
36 miles to Baltimore was made on
schedule time, one hour and three
minutes. From 2 o'clock to 3
o'clock a. m. was spent at Union
Depot when a coach was taken and
a drive of a mile or so through Balti
more city proved exceedingly pleas
ant at so early an hour. Enroute to
Eight Street wharf one of the monu
mental city's monuments was pass
ed. It was the one erected to the
memory of the Father of our coun
try. It stands in Mount Vernon
Square, beautifully surrounded with
shrubbery and flowers. The tribute
of memory consists of a column of
white marble, 104 feet high, raised
on a base of 24 feet high and sur
mounted by a eollossal statue of
Washington, 10 feet high. Steamer
"Emma Giles" pushed out from the
wharf at 7 o'clock to the minute and
was soon making her way down the
Chesapeake. The day was an admi
rable one for a trip on tire water.
The white caps were mads resplend
ent in the sunshine, and far as the
eye could discern innumerable bays
and inlets indented the mainland on
either side and extended far into
the interior. Our geography tells us
the Chesapeake is the largest bay in
the U. S., being about 200 miles long
and varying from 4 to 40 miles in
width. At its mouth, between
Capes Charles and Henry it is but
12 miles wide. A better estimation
of the facilities afforded to naviga
tion can be made by stating that
this chief bay is liaviga 1 ^ le through
out and can boast of a shore line
including that of the numerous is
lands that stud it, of 509 miles. Tol
chester Beach was soon passed, as
well as many other towns located
on the border of both sides of Mary
land, all of which could be plainly
seen with the naked eye so clear
was the atmosphere. The writer
had neither map nor informant, and
regretted the fact that they could

had what was called "The Centen
nial flood." The waters rose out of
the rivers and bays and covered all
of the lowlands. When the waters
had subsided it was found much of
the land that had been inundated
was rendered worthless because of
the salt. Though nearly 12 years
have elapsed since the land was
salted, tracts can now be seen where
not a sign of vegetation is visible.
Tracts of hundreds of acres are thus
worthless. It can be reclaimed
however by heavy fertilizing, but
whether it would repay either renters
or owners is a matter of conjecture.
Corn thrives well on the clay and
sandy soil, and vegetables of all
kinds grow in abundance. Some
little wheat is raised by nearly all
farmers, but I noticed that it was by
no means the leading product, al
though on some farms of superior
wortli, it was raised in great quan
tities. On one farm of 200 acres,
the owner told mo he raised a year
or so ago, 1000 beshels for sale, and
told me the number of acres he had
in, which figures I have forgotten,
but I remember upon examination
at the time, his farm, valued at $200
per acre compared favorably with
land of the same price in New Cas
tle County for raising this cereal.
Principal among small fruits, straw
berries, currants, etc., are raised,
whilst plums, peaches and pears
take the lead among the larger fruit
products. Apple orchards are as
scarce in Dorchester county as peach
orchards in the upper part of Dela
ware or Maryland. The pine grows
in great nbundance, in fact of this
tree alone, the lower part of the
county is wooded. Cattle and hogs
run loose in great quantities, and few
farms are fenced in entirely, in the
general only the land in vegetables
or cereals is enclosed. You can ride
through acres and acres of pine for
ests, marshy tracts and grazing
lands and not see a vestige of a fence.
The people are of the southern type.
