The young man got up from his stool
and stuck his brushes through his
palette just as Bald Top faded in shad-
ow. and only Old Surly lifted its frown-
ing head into the whole glory of the
west. He had put the last touch on
his picture, and he walked away and
looked at it with a contented sigh.
Georgia sprang to her feet and went
around to see. She was a little numb
from sitting still so long. Happy
kingdom! but hits just like looking in

she cried, nervously. I'm right much
better favored than the fureigner," she
added, glancing down where he had
been dropped and forgotten at the side
of the tree. It seemed unreal to come
back into her little homemade world
after all that she had seen. Even her
mountain people as they stared up at
her with their innocent faces made her
heart begin to ache. The sun was out of
sight, and the stranger was packing up
his box. us you-uns goin', too?" she
asked.
"Oh, yes" he said, 'T'm going up

seem possible that, after one such
golden day. there should be to-mor-

her silent mountains and her tiny,
silent dolls.
The stranger looked at the dolls as
they lay patiently waiting for their
portraits in row along the root. "And
| haven't finished the Jail, either" he
laughed. II shall have to leave all that
to you. Good-by." He held out his
hand.
Georgia took it mutely. The twilight
hush had risen so that it filled the clear
ing round the playhouse tree. 1t
seemed SO pitiful to leave her standing
all alone in it that sudden regret
came into the strangers face. Pm aw-
fully sorry to CO." he said.
A little sob choked Georgia. "Sor-

The stranger put his other hand over
the hand of hers he held. You dear
little child he said, don't you know

dolls to your"
"Oh." breathed Georgia. The stran-
ger was tramping off into the woods,
but the twilight was no longer lone
~ now. She stood with clasped hands
watching until the trees and the dim
ness shut him out of sight. The sun
set colors fingered, but the moon rose
over Bald Top, and, knowing that even
the happiest little girl in all the noun
tains must not stay out after the light
has left the west, it silvered the shad-
owy path in front of her and led her

TITTTF
"A LII LII
MOUNTAIN MAID. X
.....BY MARY TRACY EARLE.

THE great mountains peered over
one another's shoulders and
watched Georgia Blount at her play.
Bald Top, Crabs Claw and Old Surly
stood nearest; sometimes they seemed
SO near that Georgia could talk to
them; and when a low-hanging cloud
shut them out of sight, or the blue au-
tumn haze yelled them softly and held
them aloof from her, she. felt as other
children feel when thee friends turn
away or refuse to tell hat the thoughts
are in their eyes.
A gnarled tree grew at the foot of
the bluff which lifted the big dome of
Copper Head above the mountain side,
and between the roots of this tree
Georgia had her play house. Day in
and day out no one ever came in sight
of it except the mountains, but Georgia
was never lonely. In the mornings she
had to take all her dolls out of their
beds of moss and dress them in fresh
gowns of summer or autumn leaves, or
in stiff, fringy costumes of pine needles.
She was very much in earnest about her
coils and yet she sometimes clapped her
hands and laughed when they were
dressed and leaning in long row
against one of the roots, they made such
an elfin company. Some of them had
nuts for heads and some of them had
acOrns. Some of them had been made
out of dry, rounded receptacles of a
composite flower from which the florets
had fallen and the winged seeds flown
away, leaving only the circle of bracts
for collar, and brittle stem with two
branches, from which the flower ends
had been nipped off, for arms. These
were the most fragile of Georgia's chill
dren, and it took a most skillful hand
to keep their toilets without swapping
their necks, or their bodies or their
limbs. Georgia could do it, for she
loved them, and she had been dressing
them ever since she was big enough to
wander off by herself up the mountain
side, and through the forest which sep
arated the home clearing from the rug
ged, bowlder-strewn slope below the
playhouse tree and the rock walls of
the dome.
Georgia was much bigger now than
when she had begun to fashion dolls
for herself with chubby, awkward fin
gers; she was so much bigger, indeed,
that she was IA years old; she might
have thought that she was growing up
if there had been anyone to suggest it
to her; but she had seen no other chill
dren growing up, and the mountains
did not tell her, for they themselves
had taken so long TO grow that it never
occurred to them that she would not
continue to be little girl for centuries
and centuries to come. She had work
to do at home now, and that was an in
terruption; yet every day, before or
after work, she managed to slip off to-
ward the forest path.
Among her dolls there was one made
of corncob, and far larger than the
others, and this one Georgia dressed as
a man. He was a very wicked-looking
doll, having deep black eyes and nose
and mouth which she had burned into
his head with hot iron nail; and it was
because he was so different from the
rest that she had named him "the fur

ALARM AT MOBILE.

Discovery Of Three New Cases Causes
General Exodus.
MOBILE, Ala, Sept. l6.-Three new
cases Of yellow fever were officially an
nounced during the day by the board of
health. The announcement caused
much more alarm than did the discov.
cry of the first case, which was re-
garded as sporadic. The people who
can are leaving for points of safety.
Some s7OO worth Of tickets to Atlanta
were sold during the day by the Louis
vile ana Nashville railroad and the
trains are leaving crowded. The same
is true of the trains on the other roads.
DR.. Guiteras has left for Edwards,
Miss. He was ordered there to investi-
gate the disease prevailing at that place
He declined to tell what has been his
observations, saying he had first to re-
port to the surgeon general at Wash
ington. It is learned, however, that he
finds suspicious cases here, all in the
south central districts. When asked
upon what he based his telegram to the
surgeon general that there would be a
spread Of the disease, he said that the
city has had long immunity from the
disease and there is much material for
it to feed upon.

PUSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Postmaster General Gary Thoroughly Con

Postmaster General Gary Thoroughly Con-
vinced Of Their Usefulness.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l6.-Postmaster
General Gary is devoting considerable
attention these days to an investigation
of the wisdom of establishing postal
saving banks. When in the last con-
gress bill was sent to him providing
for such institutions, he declined to en-
dorse it because, as he said, he had not
had an opportunity to investigate the
subject. He has since taken up the
matter, reading all the literature bear
ing upon it he could procure and seek
ing opportunity to discuss its merits.
The result is that he has become con.
vinced of both the wisdom and utility
of postal saving institutions, and has
decided to have bill prepared provid.
ing for their establishment, and to rec.
ommend its passage by congress. In
all probability he will treat the subject
in his annual report at some length.
He has not yet decided upon the details
Of any plan. but will soon give his at
tention to them.

Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Other
States Suffering From
DrOuth.
In Southern Illinois the Temper.
ature Has Averaged 80 for
Fourteen Days.
Schools Closed in Iowa and Ohio,
Prayers for Rain in
Indiana.

CHICAGO, Sept. l6.-Illinois, Indiana
and Iowa are parched. Kansas has
been in the same condition, but rain
came Tuesday. Weather bureau men
say grateful showers are due in the
other states in a few days.
In Southern Illinois, the temperature
has averaged 80 degrees for IA days.
Northern Illinois and Chicago are hav-
ing an unusually hot period for SO late
in the season. Corn is being destroyed
in all the Egyptian country, and no
such record has been made in heat and
drought since the September of 1879.
The Sangamon, Mackinaw and Ver-
million rivers are nearly dry, and the
cattle on thousand hills are dying for
want OF water.
In Indiana no drop Of moisture has
fallen for two months, the corn is being
burned to death, the pastures are as in
flammable as powder, prairie fires are
raging. All over Northern and Eastern
Indiana, prayers for rain are being Of
fered in all the churches.
Schools Have Been Closed.
Iowa has had an average of nearly
10 for over 10 days, and never before in
the states hisibrs has there been so
much suffering. Public schools are
closed in many towns: workmen are
forced to quit toll, and prayers for rain
went up Oh every hand.
In Ohio, also, public schools were
forced to close on account of the ex.
tremely hot weather. Children tainted
at Bellaire during the morning, aud
there was no school in the afternoon.
Michigan, too, is scanning the skies
and watching every newspaper and
weather bulletin for the promise of q
downpour. Farmers are anxious, fruit
raisers are downcast and the people Of
the cities are discouraged.
