CHAPTER XIV.

Pearson had indeed gone to Green's.
Never for o moment during all those
days that Dr.. Bascom kept him in bed
had thoughts Of Louise escaped him.
Besides. he was haunted with & terrible
fear. He had the uncasiness natural
10 Z Suiltv conscience, and every hour
he wa,s in dread lest his purpose and
actions ?cak o:t and become public.
Not only was he in fear Of losing
Lo0is", bat . greater calamity over
hang him. He had discounted to an
eastern speculator all of the farm
mortgages hcid by the Buckeye Loan
and Trust Company, and had the pro-
cee2s tlacn in his pocket. In going
away With Louise he had arranged to
take thousands Of dollars of Batch
iord's money. &:
Daring hiST" confinement he was
weighed down With the fear that this
cmbezzlement should be discovered and
himself apprchended. Every day this
fear grew stronger upon him, until at
last he felt certain that the secret must
come out, and he resolved to lie still no
ongcr. So sending his attendant away
le arose from his bed and was surprised
20 find MS limb intact. With q curse
on the doctor whom he put down as an
and was soon on his way to John
Green's house.
Thank my stars" he muttered. as
he cantered across the prairie, Il am
not too late yet. I have only to give
Louise notice to be ready, and tonight
drive out for her, and inside OF Blk
hours we shall be rolling to the west
ward as fast as steamscan take us."
Louise had, of course, been Informed
of Pcarson's misfortune. Pearson,
through his friend Mills, had taken
pains to keep her informed on his con-
dition, and she was aware that he
would come again soon to claim her an
swer to his question. So she waited
day after day with calm resignation for
the time to come for the completion OF
her misery and shame.
When Pearson reached Green's, Louise
received him quietly, and whatever her
feelings were she had mastered them so
well that she betrayed no emotion,
either of sorrow or pleasure.
Louise, have at last come to learn
your decision," Pearson said, when they
were alone. II have given you more
time than promised, and I suppose you
have Your answer ready"
Il have" she replied, quietly. -
and it is"
''As you wish
Then tonight be ready for going
away. l shall come at a couple OF
hours after dark with closed carriage,

we will be far from here. You under
stand that there must be no delay?" :,
Yes"
''And you will see that there is nones'

c''Thcn suppose that IS all" and as
Pearson spoke he arose as if to go, but
suddenly stopping came over to the sirl's
side ana said:

sNOW | LAY NE DOWN TO SLEEP"

This poem, written by a tramp, and left
BY him at the Office of the Wichita kansas
Eagle, for publication, has met with g
hearty approval at the hands of the critics.
Near the camp p.fre's Pickering light,
In m blanket bed l lie,
Gazing through the shades Of night
At the twinkling stars on high;
Ger me spirits in the air
Silent vigilS seems to keep,
As I breathe my childhood'S PRAYER,
'sNow lay me down 10 Sleep"
Sadly cries the whip-poor-wilI
In the boughs of yonder tree;
Laughingly the dancing rill
Swells the midnight melody:
Foemen may be lurking near,
In the canon dark and deep,
Low breathe in Jesus ear,
'Ipray thee, Lord, my soul to keep.
Mid those stars face see,
One the Saviour called away
Mother who in infancy
Taught my baby lips to pray;
Her sweet spirit hoyers near,
In this lonely mountain brake.
Take me to her, Saviour dear,
'sf should die before wake.
Fainter glows the Pickering light,
A. each ember slowly dies;
Plaintively the birds Of night
Fill the air with sudden cries;
Over me they seem to cry,
ssYou must Revermore awake.
Low I lisp, eff l should die
7 pray thee, Lord, my soul to take.

see that he does. The soreness is leaving
his limb and he IS getting on splendid
~, and we cant afford to take any
chances on having relapse"
During the next two days the doctor
managed to spend q great part OF his
tine with his patient, resolved to keep
Inn IN bed if he had to do it by force.
Bu; the next day he was called out OF
town. and it was nearly night when he
returned.
He repaired Immediately to Pearson's
room, and found Pearson gone, and the
attendant staring about in wonder.
where's my patient?" the doctor de-
mandcd.
Il don't know" said the attendant.
'EHe sent me out few minutes since
on an errand, and when returned just
now he was gone"
THE devilr' exclaimed the doctor,
tearing out OF the room and off to
Scraggs' Office, and astonishing that
gentleman by bursting in on him with:
''Scraggs, the devils out"
what devil?" asked Scraggs:
''Why, Pearson, man."
'What" cried Scraggs. ''Is>he out
of bcd?"
Yes, and gone"
The devil. And Blatchford has not
come yet. I'm afraid he'll beat us
after all"
"1kept him there as long as I could,
held him down for week.
"Ycs, and Blatchford ought to have
been here yesterday. I think he'll
surely come to-day. He telsgraphed
me that he was on the way"
Hell probably get here tonight
then, and all we can do is to wait"
Yes, wait and watch. We must
find Pearson and keep an eye On him.
You have no idea where he has gomez"
Not the least, but he is no doubt
somewhere about town"
Then we had better look him up"
The two men went ont ard began
quiet, unostentatious search for Pear
son, and they kept it up until they had
assured themselves perfectly that he
was nowhere about. There had been
no train out of town that afternoon, SO
they knew he had not gone away by
rail.
After considering the matter for q
few minutes they decided to inquire at
the stables, and from the first one they
visited they learned that Pearson had
got horse &nd rode ont in the country.
Hes gone to Green's" said ScraGgs.
I'D bet a sheepsliin on that"
Yes, he's gone to Green's" replied
the doctor, despairingly. Hes got the
best Of us after all. F"
Maybe he has," said Scraggs, "but

AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec. THE past is
not forgotten, nor are our ills forgotten.
The trut fu!ness CT this saying was
eiyen By most remarkable incident
which really occurred here. During the
war Confederate soldier, who was
wounded n battle and was unable 10
contend further against the enemy, vas
arrested II Augusta By Confederate
officer because he did not have proper
urlough Dapers. This private Con!ed-
elate soldier, who is now resilient OF
Augusta, while walking n the streets,
Slightly Intoxicated, this afternoon, ac-
cidentally noticed and at once recognized
the officer who had caused his detention
in Augusta while he was on his way to
Columbia 20 oin his sick wife. The otd
sol der had never forgotten the occur
rence nor forgiven the officer, and when
hs net hin to-dav he piled ii on him and
abused and reproached him for having
caused his arrest.
The officer, wilo IS now New York
drummer. had forgotten tie affair, but
recalled it when the offended and re-
vengeful veteran mada mention OF It,.
The old officer avoided a1y difficulty
with the ;nturate! 50. der who bore NAL
ice toward iiim and who wanted TO sat
isfg his grievance by carving him. How
ever. the vindic;ivc survivor was again
searching for the officer tonight, armed
with a knife with the avowed intention
Of dong him bodily harm, but the meet
ING was prevented. The wonderful
memory of this Old private IS something
remarkable, and his Identification Of the
man whom he considered had done him
an injustice upon first sight, after thirty
years interval, is still more wonderful.

Gen. Anderson issued the following call:
| Ny OLD COMRADES: It is proposed to have
| a reunion of my old brigade at Marietta, Ga
July q. 1891, at which time hope 70 meet you
all once more. Come, it may be the last time
| we shall meet before we cross over the river.
| Come, and let US enjoy ourselves in recounting
| the glories and the hardships OF the past In
| the past at the word attention. you were
| always ready. now. perhaps foI the last time
| give the order, attention" VIII you heed the
| command?
THE REUNION.
Each one of these old comrades that
could respond did 30. The reunion was
held to-day in the Glover grove. The
crowd was estimated at 5000. The city
and county turned out en- masse Gen.
Anderson was the honored hero of the day
His tall, manly form shows the stoop Of
age, but still the full vigor of perfected
manhood is his. He could again head such
brigade, and go through another four
years campaign.
THE ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
The address OF welcome was made by
Capt. ". j. Hudson Of the Seventh Georgia.
Capt. Hudson met the expectations of his
friends and the demands of the hour. In the
absence of Judge George Hillyer, who was
TO make the response, Capt. w. J. Jones of
the Ninth Georgia, made the address in re-
ply. The speech Of the occasion was made
by Col. Jones of the First Kentucky regi-
ment. who followed Capt. w. ]. Jones of
Georgia. His wit and humor. and his
pathos and tenderness are inimitable. He
captured the crowd. not only by his words,
facts, ETC., but by the manner of his
utterance
EX-Gov. M'DANIEL'S SPEECH.
ExGov. Mcdaniel was the next speaker.
His remarks were timely pointed and we'll
received.
Capt. Milledge of the First Georgia regu-
lars made a telling speech. He referred in
a tender way to the ebsenteeS, not to those
who had died or been prevented from COM
ing through health and strength, but to
the wounded and penniless veterans In the
home in Atlanta. He enthused the vast
crowd by calling upon the legislature to
adopt that home and provide for its mainte-
nance.
CHEERS FOR GEN. ANDERSON.
Other speeches were made, and then in
answer to a loud call Gen. Anderson came
to the front amidst the shouts of thousands.
He made only a short speech, but il salts
fled his friends. The very sight of the old
veteran seemed TO enthuse the people. He
was the hero OF the hour.
Long rows of tables were standing on the
beautiful grove burdened with good things.
In soldier-form and regular step the vet
Grams were led by the general to the charge
and sad havoc was made, leaving but a
meager sight of the enemy.
Part OF the afternoon was given TO bust
ness meetings, and then the session was
over. 1t was pleasant and profitable oc-
casion. But little was said or thought of
politics. Sad memories and pleasant ones
were stirred up. Strong men, not given to
melting words, were moved to tears. 1t
was an hour that brought good and not

People Afraid to Pass Through the
Woods Around Pineopolis.
CHARLESTON, 8. c., July 2l.-Last fall
the country around Pineopolis, a suburb of
this city, was demoralized by reports of the
ravages of mad foxes. The startling news
was received to-day that the disease among
foxes has spread through the country, and
that it has become dangerous to travel
through the woods A paner from Ten
Mile Hill reports that the woods in that Sec
ton are full of mad foxes, and that seri-
Gus state of affairs exists there. The negro
population, which is very dense around the
phosphate mines, is in an utter state Of
panic. Many persons have been attacked
by rabid foxes within the past few days,
and thus far thirteen persons have been
severely bitten.
A NEGRO ATTACKED.
To-day negro named William Frazer
had a desperate encounter with one Of the
animals. The fox rushed at him and a
lively fight ensued, the man being
unarmed. His clothes were torn into
shreads, but he finally succeeded in beating
the beast off without suffering any serious
injury. Two of these mad foxes have been
thus far killed, but the entire
population is now up In arms,
and an effort will be made
to clear the animals out. None
of the persons bitten by the foxes have as
yet shown symptoms of hydrophobia. The

was formerly swampy but it is said that
since the earthquake of 1886 the water

LONDON, July GA special from Buenos
Ayres says: Intense distress prevails here
among the poor. Prices are advancing
rapidly. A barrel of flour has within a
month risen from SIS in paper
to $2S so. Men are frequently seen
picking food from offal heaps
Business people blame English bankers for
their policy Of propping up the Earrings

is bitter against the English, and British
flags displayed in honor of national fetes
are torn down.
