The Song of the Swing.
BY MARGARET PULLING.

her under the elms. He knew that he was telling her, at the same time, of his love for her and Gertrude understood. "If-if-if I show that am a man" "If-well-yes"
 Gertrude spoke the last words slowly and seriously, for well she knew that Her bert was not in good favor with her fath- CTS family, and that his visits the last month had been received coldly and dis couraged on every possible pretense.
 "very well, then" said Herbert. T un- derstand Goodbye, I shall not see you again, am off. There is no time to spare when a man has mission"
 Gertrude stood looking after him.
 How shall I know if you are success ful" she called out, Twill you write?''
 "Yes, perhaps; but if I do not I will meet you by the swing on the lawn in April"
 "April!p Gertrude's face fell as she re- peated the word, for she knew that April was six dreary months away and Plain view without Herbert Fowler would De a lonely place indeed.
 No questions were asked in the Grey family about Herbert Fowler's departure. If they knew he was gone they learned 1t from the other boarders of the house where he had been stopping. Each eve | ming the whole contingency of the small | hotel wandered over to the Grey villa, and i there over their cool drinks and cakes, | the young people of Plainview discussed
 the happenings of the day and the chances l for a good time the next day. For a few | days Herbert Fowler's name was frequent | lv mentioned but he was soon forgotten in | the gay days of Plainview in autumn. l The wealthiest man in Plainview was | John Griggs, a bachelor with fine farm | and a beautiful house on the village end of the farm. He was more eligible than | anv other man in Plainview. Managing
 mammas had had their eyes on him for years: but John Griggs knew a comforta- l ble home, when he had one; and year after
 year he enjoyed the pleasure of Plain-
 views youngest and prettiest society with | a love affair. ,,.

commander to see that his men are mus tered out of service as speedily as possible to return to their homes The Press said yesterday that it was just as much the duty of the volunteer to come home now and return to his business and the protec- ton of his family as 1t was to go to the front when the war broke out. The of ficers should look at it this way. The place for the citizen in time of peace is at his home. The sooner all Georgia regiments are mustered out of service the better it will be for the state and the men. The large number of privates who are sacrifice ing so much and are bearing uncomplain- ingly the hardships of camp life should now be given their liberty. The officers of the government owe them this much. The Press was among the first to advise these men to go. The Press just as promptly ad- vises them to come back. The real soldier does not long to strut in soldier clothes "after the shotted guns are mute" The tin soldier sticks to his tent and begs to be put on detail to guard garrisons and po lice government stores.

clared to his housekeeper and only conf- dent, had he seen young woman with so many accomplishments. Such manners, elegance and beauty; so much grace, so much dignity and good humor! The old housekeeper grumbled at this, but John Griggs insisted on admiring Gertrude. Just how far his admiration had gone not even he had dared to say.
 The autumn wore away and the cool days deepened into frost. Soon the snow flakes were upon the ground and then all Plainview knew that the long, dreary win- ter had set in. Gertrude Grey seemed to feel the coming dark season more than anyone else, and often her mother remark ed that she had never known Gertrude so quiet before. For hours she would sit at the back window, looking out over the rear veranda at the lawn, now snow cov- cred, and her eyes would rest longingly upon the tattered threads of the swing which waved in the winter breeze. Mrs. Grey had ordered the swing taken down at the approach of winter. but Gertrude had begged so earnestly that the swing be left up that her wish was gratified, and the ropes hung as in summer with the old board between them. Strange freak of Gertrude's," her mother had said. And so winter came and went and April passed away.
 Summer that year in Plainview was dull affair though nobody could have told why. But Gertrude Grey, the life of Plain view, was quiet and, without her. sum- mer life in Plainview dragged.
 So once again autumn came and the cold dreary winter set in.
 One morning in March Gertrude aston ished her mother by bursting into the family sitting room with the announce ment, Mamma I am going to marry John Griggs''
 Mrs Grey's work dropped in her lap.
 "IIe proposed to me last evening after prayer meeting, when I was singing to him in the paror, and you and papa were in the sitting room. I told him that I would think 1t over, and mamma, I have thought it over. I intend to marry him.
 Great was the astonishment in Plain view over Gertrude's betrothal. The girl had been so depressed of late. so forlorn, that the news was received with more than the usual amount of merry-makng occas- toned by such an announcement. Gertrude had been love sick all winter they said.
 Gertrude had begged to have the an- nouncement put off a few weeks, but her mother, for reasons of her own had thought 1t best to let it become known at once Gertrude had been so changeable!
 One morning. just the first flowers were coming up through the cold, wet patches of ground, Gertrude looked out of

"How pleasant it would be to swing al- waysl"
 Gertrude Grey spoke involuntarily but the opportunity did not escape Herbert Fowler.
 '- Yes, if we could swing together, '' he added quickly, glancing at Gertrude s bright face.
 But that young lady turned her head away.
 Have you been playing with me all summer, Gertrude?" asked Herbert giv- ing the swing an extra push that sent 1t flying into the air, 'or was I right in thinking that there was something more than play in our afternoons together?' But still Miss Grey said nothing. She was having fun and she meant to enjoy 1t to its utmost.
 q am going away soon," said Mr. Tow Ter, after a few minutes of digniied sil- ence, unless"
 At this Gertrude frightened her hold upon the rope, bringing it almost to stand still and minute later she had slipped out of the swing and was picking roses by Herbert's side.
 '"The summer is over now" continued he, land I am going back to work"
 At this Gertrude lifted her face and smile spread over it.

 "We might swing together again."
 "Yes," said Herbert, without the smile that was on his companion's face. "Ther we might swing together-always! Tel me, Gertrude, is it worth while for m' to go back to town and work?

LIFE IN KANSAS

From the New Orleans Picayune.
 The Kansas young man took his best girl to picnic. There she accepted so many attentions from another young man that the first young man became enraged and went home, leaving the girl to get back to her own house as best she might. She hired hack, for which her father paid 75 cents, and then the old man sent the bill to the sulky young suitor. He refused to pay, and the old man sued him in a justice's court, alleging that, having taken the girl to the picnic, 1t became his duty to see her safely home at his own expense. Both sides have hired lawyers, and the case will be fought to a finish New Orleans men who may drum in Kansas will bear in mind that they cannot "shell road' the daughter of a populist and escape the ven- geance of the old man.

To all practical purposes, Birmingham iron has within the last few days made an-
 other advance of 25 cents ton, making the

 The Pioneer company at Woodward is
 selling all of its iron for $S and over, for

 The Woodward company is about the only company around Birmingham that has

Cowan and Oscar G. Murray, receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and by the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Rail way company on freights carried by them from Philadelphia, Baltimore and Gin cinnnti to East St. Louis and Chicago and destined to points in Texas and other states west of the Mississippi The investigation relates to shipments carried since the first of August.
 Besides the violations of the act to regu- late commerce generally charged upon statements so made to the commission, the order specifics cuts in the rates on canned goods from Baltimore to East St. Louis amounting in some cases to 20 cents per 100 pounds below the published tariff in rates on whisky in carloads from Philadelphia to East St. Louis and Chicago of as much as 23 cents below established charges and in rates on wire, woodenware and pickets from Cincinnati to East St. Louis of from 4 to cents less than schedule charge which the law requires shall be observed.
 The case is set down for hearing on the first day of November before the commis- sion in Washington.
