tons from her employer. She was glad
of the work May Stuart offered her, be-
cause 1t was bread and butter for herself
and help for her crippled sister and little
Pink, but it was money hardly earned.
She was not first-class dressmaker, in
fact May Stuart, who found her very
convenient for making over old dresses,
was her only rich customer, and this win
ter everything had gone as she and Pink
often said to each other as if a ''blizzard
was in it. -
Such times come to many a worker,
and poor little Mrs. Trumbull had been
brave fighting them through. It was
hard to accept all OF May Stuart's i'm
perious selfishness, but there was the
one result she desired at the end of it.

Sally, the housekeeper, looked dis

"He broke the churn, too,'' finished
Ally, placidly, ''I forgot to tell you

Henri led them long chase this time.
AS they tramped along in the moonlight
Cecil looked curiously at the 'possum
swinging under Cobbs' hand.
He observed that it looked ''like an

short chuckle, added: ''Wa al, looks

We went an how come We didn Il git back

Dawsey WINGED, but he repeated dog
gedly that he hadn t been away from
home that week. Who had seen him?-
that is, correcting himself, who had
dared TO pretend to have seen him?
"Aud you didn It go off down the Sum-
men road to the turn, hay?' said Cobbs;
''you re plumb sure of that, and you
didn t maybe meet up with two or three
friends?"

growled, 81 dom know nothin' of no

fdgeting. He jumped on the beast s
back threw a look Of sullen anger round
the dark circle and galloped away into
the swamp.
"He can't catch Larry now said
Sally, with a sigh of relief.
"But isn't Larry his SOM" asked
Cecil.
Larry, however, was not so fortunate,
although he was, in the eye of the law,
Dawsey's son; because he had been le-
gally adopted by the old man ,on the death
Of bis sister, Larry's mother. why, he
adopted the boy had long puzzled the
SeytoHs. Mrs, Seyton, who had been to
see the widow Hardness during her
last sickness. and had carried her stealth
lily many a little luxury, said that his
demeRnor at that time was more human.
BE had cared for and protected his sis
ter, after fashion, although there was
a horrible rumor that he had killed her
husband. There was no doubt that he
had hated Rufe Hardness, nor that
there had been furious quarreis between
the two. And Rnfe Hardness was shot
on the roadside by an unknown assassin.
Still she was not unkind to his sister.
He relaxed his miserliness enough to give
her rude plenty. She was well clothed =.
In her day meal sacks and sailed pork
were seen in the gallery. The boy Larry
went neatly clothed to school. A present
or two was sent for him TO the Christmas
tree. His lot did not seem so much
harder than other lads, IL his uncle did
scowl on him and sometimes give him a
sly cuff as well as curse.
But with his mothers death all was
changed. Dawsey went ont from the

turning to Ally-''an' that 'ar hand
ketcher, tew. Sayed them tricks pomp-
cred boys an made 'em sassy
There was no note of complaint in Lar
RVS voice, telling his tale, it was quite
matter of fact.
''Did he treat you bad, Larry?' Ally
asked. Ally was getting very furious,
but Sally said never a word.
"He didn t ulster treat me much bad,
but lately he BIN ickin' me heap, -
said Larry, ''an' recken he lows t. kill
me, now, he are so mad at me-
Even now there was no animation in
his manner. But all at once he gave q
dog-lilze glance at Ally, and added, "I
reckoned if 1 cud git t Ally he wudn t
let him. -
FI'u shoot him, fust!n cried Ally.
Still Sally was silent. They left Larry
in Cobbs' care. Cobbs promised to give
him something 'warmin' - before he
went to bed.
After they were home the reason for
Sally 8 silence appeared.
She shut the door of the room and
drew closer to the two boys, who were
warming their backs before the blazing
fire.
In her hand was the handkerchief
mask.
She held it up. "Don't you know it =,
Ally?' said she.
''Know it," Ally repeated. But Cecil
pointed to tiny inscription in the cor
ner, Allan G. Seyton.
'It's the handkerchief you gave
Larry" said Sally impressively, "the
time he cut his head. Don't you see?
Larry said he took his handkerchief. He
took 1t to make a mask of. -
"Shucks, " said Ally.
'tI don't reckon they had another
handkerchief in the house, said Sally
$50 he took this. -
She folded the handkerchief carefully
and put it back in her pocket. ''That's
what l call evidence, - said she.
"Maybe, if we can prove he took it
and Larry didn t lose it, - was the cau-
tious Ally g conclusion. He would have
taken it, then, late as it was, over TO
Cobb's for advice, but Sally suggested
that Larry's presence would interfere,
and it was resolved TO wait until
morning.

ing. Not so easy, Cecil thought, to see
the 'possum hiding under the rusty
foliage.
He was relieved to hear Ally announce
the need of fire.
They pushed dry leaves and twigs
("trash'' Cobbs called them) into a
heap, and very soon rudy flame leap
ed up, thin and high like huge candle
By that Pickering glare they could see
not only the trees but circle of wood
land.
"Will you shoot?" said Ally to Cecil {.
Cecil lifted his gun. High up into the
tree he caught glimpse of a line of gray
fur. Bang went the gun.
There was a rustic among the dead
leaves. So true was the aim that the
gray lump fell almost at their feet, and
instantly Ally was beating off the dog.
"Good shot, Bub, - said Cobbs.
Cecil regarded Cobbs coldly. What
right had he, a mere servant, to be using
such familiar terms; nevertheless, he
was not insensible to the sweetness of
praise.
Honest Cobbs went on unconsoiusly
"Reckon we kin take you aout on a will

"Oh, no, - said Cecil, softened in
spite of himself.
He received Ally s congratulations af-
fabIy. Then he looked around for Sally
After all, Sally was one from whom he
expected to receive the help and interest
of companionship. But Sally had run a
few PAGES ahead.
When she came back her first words
were not for him.
"'See what L found!'' she cried, dis
playing what looked like @ torn hand
kerchief.
"Well, it ain't worth finding,' said
Ally bluntly.
''What be ye totin' it raoun fur,
missy?' said Cobbs IN different tone.
She held it up. ''Don' It you see?'
AS they were silent, she fitted it on to
her face. At once they exclaimed:
otis q mask, by gum!' said Ally.
"That's one of them tricks the fellers

faces - was Cobb's conclusion, very
solemnly uttered, ''whar ye foun' hit

Afterward-but again only Cecil no
tfced it-she it was who put the handker-
chief in her pocket.
ITS a clew,' said Sally, with dig
nitv, "and we have to preserve it.
All the word suggested to Ally was a
thought of preserves and SO by an easy
transition a dIsagreeable reminder of
butter.
"Oh, saw he exclaimed, awe got
to send for some butter!'
Ally never troubled himself with the
inconsequences of his remarks.
'Why, we have got plenty of butter;

into the camp fire, whereupon Ally made
of, one way, as fast as Larry was going
another.
Old Dawsey, raging, vowing horrors
for Larry, of which murder was the
kindest, picked himself out of the Goals
and would have given chase.
''StOpa? stopa, man!' shouted the
Gypsy. ''You ALA ffre!"
Cobbs scooped painful of soft mud and
flung on the burning clothing, an ex-
ample energeticaIly followed by the Gyp-
sizes until the last sign of fire was smOth-
cred and Dawsey was an amazing sight.
"Quit We d fools!'' he yelled. Again
he set off after DOrny, but this time

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Tte Herald makes
the following apology to Russell Harrison
in its editorial columns today: Several
weeks ago the Herald received from a
source that it had reason to think was en-
TREY trustworthy a letter devoted to COS
sipy consideration of ladies of the white
house and Mrs. Russell Harrison. After
publication Of this article it was discov-
cred that it contained an intimation that
Russell Harrison had not treated his wife
as he should have done, and there, was
good reason for unplessantness between
the couple and unhappiness on her part.
The Herald Is informed aud believes the
statements of this article are without
foundation and untrue, and it regrets that
they gained publicity through these col
umns. 1t has never been the policy of
this journal to involve a woman in politi-
cal ~sutsGonisms, and an appearance OF
things to the contrary in this case was the
result of an accident rather than OF de-

F. Williams of this county. has lust re-
ceived notice from Washington that a
treasury draft payable to his order for
$50, 500, will be forwarded to him in a
few days. the same being in accordance
with a bill recently passed by congress in
his behalf. Williams was a second lieu
tenant in a Kansas cavalry regiment and
was wounded at the battle of Wilson's
creek. Being no longer fit for duly he
was in 1868 discharged from the service,
but by some oversight he was not mus
tered out and that formality did not take
place until a year ago. He applied for
back paw for the time between the date
OF his last pay and the date he was mus
tered out, neatly thirty years, and there
being no law to cover his case, a special
act was passed In his behalf. The story
seems incredible, but Williams is a repu-
table man. and good citizens who know
him vouch for his integrity. Williams is
already on the pension roll at 1927 a month
on account of his wound.

~sionists en- ronte to Boston and New York

rates, consequent on the Grand Army en-
campment in the former place. This
morning the Chicago. Milwaukee & st.

more contigents. The Rock Island will
bring in four special trains from Kansas

gan Central office today were obliged to
turn people away, and large numbers are
unable to get accommodations. This road
arranged for a new line of Chicago and

that not nifty per cent of this extra travel
is made up OF Grand Army men. Ordi-
