not to mention wandering nnd furtive
glances about the assembly. But even
they were wholly unready for that
which came to pass. Teddy Barton told
it to group of lounging customers
upon the store porch just az Jack Talbot
came there in hot haste The store kept
everything from tarlatan and candy to
plow points and pitchforks, with espo-
cial strength in plantation hardware.
Jack wanted keg Of nails; hence had
come in his buggy and had Timothy
and Glover his span of blood sorrels, IN
white lather as he reincd them in and
shouted at Teddy:
"Hurry That's Il good fellow! I'm
paying five darkies to do nothing until
| can get back and Set them haMmering
again.
"Oh, no! CANT You wait till you
hurry's over-lorg ernough ter hear
the news:" Teddy demanded, winking
at the rest. Jack laughed easily and
shook his head, saying:
'Impossible, Teddy! ! road all my
romances; take them Sunday afternoons
or rainy ones hate not to help excr-
else that imagination Of yours, but to-
day really I'm too busy. Do give me my
nails. "
"Mayby you don t know ole Tops got

other wink at his other auditors. Again
Jack laughed.

driving home in it and saw that lie had
on span new clothes as we'll So, you
see, your news is not news after all.
Give me what want or l shall drive

"I'm sorry, ra-ale sorry, Jack, but
you'll have ter-we amt got er kag in

Teddy said; then as Jack set his horses
heads again toward the rond: Hold

what all them new things meant Ole
Top, he's dead in love with Miss Rob
MoGregor; went up thar ter see her'yis-
tiddy evenin, but she was out some
whars bout the place. so he's goin er-
gin, an soon. "
Teddy did not intend that his speech
should reach the ears Of strange Gus
tomer-a tall, rawboned old woman,
who was just then getting down from
her horse at the steps. l'ut she heard
and said, with her foot still in the stit.

"Young man, I've heared tell as you

him he better come an find out what
old Sister Annis has got ter say ter 1t. y
"Yessum. Cert'nly, III tell him.
Teddy said, rushing to tie her horse, the
while looking significantly at the rest
with the eye away from the old woman.
Clearly she was crazy, as crazy as ole
Phemy, who lived on the fears Of the
other niggers, who, poor fools, took her
for conjure woman. This was IN
Teddy's mind. His speech was so civil
that without in the least intending it
Mrs. Annis had spent SO with him before
she rode away.
Jack Talbot drove home at slapping
pace. He would have been amazed but
that he was so furiously angry. There
must be something in Teddy tale. And
why should that old virago prick up her
eyes and scowl at the mention of Rob?
The Annises he recalled as distinctly
disreputable folk. He knew his father

Greece Recalls Soldiers From Arta.

London, May 24.-The Athens corre-
spondent Of The Times says:
Owing to the disquietude caused by
the presence in the city Of large bodies
of volunteers the government has has
tlly recalled the force of gendarmes
sent TO Arta and will take measures to
deport these dangerous allies to their
various countries at the earliest possi-
bic date.
Most of the volunteers making up
the Berthet column are anarchists, and
the government has done wisely in re-
fusing to allow them to come here, al
though they insisted on the privilege.
THE government sent them from Ar
ia to Zaverda and there disarmed them,
with orders to leave for Italy in Greek
vessels. Thereupon they began to in
dulge in all sorts of excesses and got
into conflict with the inhabitants, with
the result that one Italian was killed
and six were seriously wounded.
Finally. after a great deal of trouble,
they were sent to Brindisi under the
escort Of two Greek men-of-war."
