After quite time spent over Mr. Nor
ley, the doctor stepped out on the
porch, and, drawing on his gloves, de
layed his departure to answer a few
questions which Florence, who had fol-
lowed, put to him. 1t was impossible
for the worthy physician to conceal
wholly his sense of Importance, al
though he tried to appear as though it
was by no means an unusual thing to be
found administering potions to mil
ionaires.
Florence anxiously listened to his
words of advice, and then withdrew. l

she only bestowed on me sad, sweet
smile, which told of her love for me

company him. He expressed his pleas

climbed into the carriage beside him.
l was anxious to tell Sonntag of the
murderous attack upon me. On the
way, finding the worthy doctor willing
to answer questions, l was soon pos
sessed of his opinion of my lawyer and
agent This opinion was very high
one.
Sonntag seemed to have the elements
If popularity in him. But there was
something about the old fellow I did
not understand; there seemed to be a

awyer and my agent. Nevertheless,

safe in his hands. My own opinion be-

But my trust and confidence in the
old lawyer soon received shock.

My old nurse insisted on my remain
ing at her house for dinner, and left
me seated on the porch while she went
inside to prepare the meal.
From my seat | could see the station
far down the hill, through the trees.
Two men were moving about on the
platform, but the distance was too
great to allow distinction of anything
but their forms.
Remembering then that my field
glass had been left here at Sarah's
house on the morning of my arrival, l
called in to have her bring it to me,
which she did.
Taking the glass from the case ad
justed it to my eye and then turned it
toward the station.
My sight had not deceived me even
in the momentary glimpse Of the face
at the window.
The face was Horace Jackson's, and
there the fellow was now, standing on
the edge of the platform, speaking most
earnestly, judging by the vehement
gestures, to the station agent.

My spirits answered to the influences
of nature. and in a happy reflective
mood | proceeded on my way. In my
mind one beautiful object predomi-
nated-Florence.
With the lovely phases of the peace
full evening appealing to the sense, it
seemed natural for my thoughts to
turn to the beloved one-to dwell on
her goodness, her faith, her love for
me.
Anticipation of future happiness,
when my darling should be always at
my side, should be in my life, rounding
it out in the fullness of content, en-
crossed my mind. There were no
cruel forbodings, no forecasting of
dire events. no warnings. Even the
sight of the station agent, Skinner,
cutting across the fields toward Sun
set Hill, caused only temporary re-
lapse from my happy mood.
If Skinner's errand was with the
Morleys, Florence would undoubtedly
refuse him admittance after what
had told her.
By the time arrived at my house the
sun had fallen behind the mountains,
and only the golden rays remained in
the western sky and fired the edges of
the single cloud.
Going up through the yard, / noticed
the door to the cook house was un-
latched. l had been unable. in my
explorations of cherished spots of in
terest in boyhood days, to gain en-
trance to the cook house. The door
had been locked. and I had not con-
sidered it of sufficient Importance to
ask Sonntag for the key.
Wondering why the place should now
be unlocked, pushed the door open and
entered.
The recollection of deep, dark apart
ment underneath, which had been used
as a root cellar during my grandfather's
time, was brought to mind by seeing
that the door leading to the stairway was
partly open. Obeying a sudden impulse,
l entered, and, standing on the landing,
gazed down into the impenetrable
gloom.

HOME LIFE IN DIXIE"
lecture OF Or. 8. A. steele at the fret
Ne-hod,st Church Tuesday
Night.

Dir, S. A. Steele, secretary of The
Epworth League at Nashville,
Tenn, and editor of The official or
gan of that branch of the church,
lectured at the First Methodist
Church Tuesday night under the
auspices of the local Leauge, to a
large congregation.
The subject of his discourse was
Home Life in Dixie During the
War-Unwritten History and to
say he handled his theme correctly
and truthfolly is to state a fact
watch hundreds Of large audiences
who sat spell-bound, as it were. for
two hours, are more than willing to
testify. DR. Steele said he was the
son of a Methodist minister, and
was living with his fathers family
on farm a short distance below
Memphis, in Mississippi, during the
war. The scene opened in the
autumn of 1860-whlle he was vet in
his teens, and the pages of real life
experienced by every family in
Dixie from that time to the close of
hostilities would make a larger and
much more interesting volume
thaa any ever put on sale in any
market in this country. The audi
ence was kept convulsed in laughter
a large portion of the time, and the
doctors eloquent fights Of fancy,
his finishing periods, his perora-
ton to the different sections Of the
country, were beautiful and touch
ing in the extreme, but when he
said to Dixie belonged the laurel
wreath of grandeur because it was
our own Southland, the demonstra-
tive applause could be restrained no
longer, and the audience applauded
the exclamation heartily. The lee
ture was good in all the word i'm
plies, the subject was one doubly
appreciated, aud Dr. Steele handled
it with the delicate touch of
finished scholar.
After the conclusion of his lecture
the doctor was surrounded by
large number of his hearers and
heartily congratulated.

Is Pine Bluff to have a base bal
team this season? is a question fire.
quently asked a GRAPHIC reporter.
He has been unable to answer the
question satisfactorily, but learns
that an effort is being made to or
ganize q team. Camden, Texarkana
and Little Rock will have first-clase
ball teams this season, and it will
not be creditable to the enterprise OF
our city if we do not keep in line
with our neighbors, in amusements
as well as business enterprises. Our
people are partial to base ball, and
a good team properly managed
will be self-sustaining. By all means,
let us have base ball.

Costly etiquette.

The latest pamphlet published by the
commission Of historical manuscripts in
London contains the following interest
ing and curious trayesty on etiquette:
''The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk,
having been summoned to appear before
the house of lords in 1902 in order to
plead their suit for divorce, it was de-
bated whether the lord chancellor, sit
ting as chairman, should lower his Dig
nifty by bowling TO the duchess and speak
ing to her only with his cap i'll his hand.
This question was argued for several
days in the house Of lords until debate
exhausted itself and several duels result
cd. At length it was decided that tho
lord chancellor should first receive the
bows Of the duke and duchess and re-
turn them with uncovered head and aft
or that he should replace his cap. This
rule was followed to the letter and Is
still adhered to today when similar con-
tingencies arise.
