And as he paid no heed to her COM
mands, she thrust her forefinger be-
tween his almost toothless gums as if
he were child and pried out the
brown mass. "Well!" she said, re-
signedly. "well have to git i'm in the
house, Bud will want his cart. Come,
you boys" Ito Ronald and David)
''help lift i'm OUT
Dave sprang into the cart, and Ron
aid was about to do the same, when
Fanshaw's distended eyes fell on him.
The old man raised his hands as if to
ward off a blow and cried in words
now easily understood: "Take i'm
away; he wants to kill mel"
Ronald paused, but Fanshaw's ter
ror did not abate. He got to his feet
quickly and springing from the cart
he ran. his knees knocking together,
across the road towards the woods.
''Stop i'm, he's tryin' to kill me! He
wants me to tell i'm who he is, an
whar t'other is buried!"
A remarkable change came over Mrs.
Fanshaw; she turned quickly to Ron
aid, and with an uneasy smirk, said:
Don't you go nigh i'm, Ron; he's
clean out'n his senses, an thar amt
no tellin' what quar- notion might strike
i'm"
Ronald stood wondering, as Tarbell
and Dave ran after the old man. They
caught him by his arms and began to
half carry, half drag him towards the
house. But Fanshaw's distended eyes
were still fixed on Ronald in alright and
he struggled and fought his captors like
a wild man.
''I'm not agoin' to have i'm, put me in
JAIL" he snorted. "He's done reported it
to Reddin', an together they are agoin'
to have me swing for what I never
done!"
Again Mrs. Fanshaw faced Ronald;

GUN CARRIAGE CONTROVERSY.
Csaten tion Between Gems. Miles, Bui.
1aGtoa and Wilson Referred 70
Board Of Ordnance.

The controversy on disappearing
gun carriages which was waged so
fiercely between Gen. Miles and Gen.
Burlington, chief of ordnance, and
Gen. Wilson. army chief of engineers,
has been carried to the board or ord
nance and Notifications. Gen. Miles
in q communication to the secretary
Of war last. October called attention
to what he believed was fatal and
costly error Of this government in
building so many expensive disappear
ing gun carriages as mounts for the
big guns Of our coast defense. He
called attention to the practice OF
foreign governments who maintain
similar Notifications. The disappear
ing gun carriage system was prac-
tically abandoned abroad. and he be-
lieved that this government is build
ing too many such types of mounts.
His position in the matter was COM
bated by Gen. Burlington and Gen.
Wilson. and good dea4 of volumin-
Gus and somewhat spicy official cor
respondence was exchanged. The
fight came out in . hearing before .
senate subcommittee on appropria-
tiohs, which had charge OF the an
nual Notifications bill and there was
a threatened open rupture between
headquarters of the army and the
army ordnance Office of the chief of
engineers. The conflict was averted
by Secretary Root. who sent for the
officers and insisted that the contro-
versy should be conducted on strictly
technical lines.
The question raised by Gen. Miles
has now been referred to the board Of
ordnance and Notifications, of which
Gen. Miles is president and Gems. Will
son and Burlington are members. Tho
impression prevails that the two lat
ter will agree with the main points
named by Gen. Miles and that the
board will sustain his original po-
sition.

CHAPTER XVIII.

The next month was December.
Christmas day was made known to
the Fanshaws chiefly by the fireworks
which were discharged by the negroes
on the Hasbrooke estate. The dawn
came in with great footing OF horns,
beating of old pans, the discharge of
guns, the bursting of inflated hog
bidders. There was to be a cake
walk in the barn, dance, barbecued
OK, a glorious feast, Christmas tree.
The Fanshaws were not going to in
dulqe even in an extra dinner. Ronald
had remembered his hands by pres
ents CT money, but they were going
to spend it in town. Something, how
ever, did happen to mark the day as
en- eventful one. Old Jade Fanshaw
was brought home in Bud Tarbell's
dump cart, on pile of wheat straw,
covered by an old quilt. This oc-
Cured about IL o'clock in the day.
Ronald remembered that it took place
lust as the dinner bell rang at Carn-
leigh. Bud Tarbell told the little
group in the front yard that Jade
wasn't dead an they needn't be
skeerd." He explained that he was
driving along mountain road looking
for sticks of lightwood when he saw
Fanshaw walking ahead of him as
sound as q dollar as far as he was
able to see. He looked away for
minute and then he saw Fanshaw
down on his all-fours, crawling along
with head down like grazing COW.
"At fust l was afeerd of i'm, fur he
was actin mighty curis," observed
Tarbell, "but terrectly his knee j'ints
seemed to flicker an he come down
kerplunk in the mud on his stomach.
Then I drive up an put i'm in my
cart"
Mrs. Fanshaw was always a calm
woman; she went out at the gate
waddled up to the cart, and shook the
human heap on the straw.
"Looky heer, what's a-ailin' OF you'
Jade?'' she asked, seeing his eyes open.
Fanshaw sat up slowly but he
locked Ike Q man with only shadow
Of . soul in him; his eyes glared in
chastity sockets and their W lites had
turned red. As he looked found at
the group he seemed to recognize
them, but q. shifting look Of terror
vas in his glance. He began to work

eff 1 was you, Ron," she said, hurried
ly, I'D go upstairs; he's tuck quar-
notion somehow that you are agin i'm,
an 1 wouldn't aggravate i'm"
Glad of an excuse to get away from
the narrowing scene our hero went up
to his room. Presently he heard the
clatter of hob-nailed boots on the porch.
The old man, now pacified, was being led
like a dumb animal to his room. Then
all was quiet below. The silence lasted
till he heard Dawes voice outside
speaking through broken window
pane to his mother.
I'm a-goin' to ride fur doctor" he
was saying.
The floor complained of its burden
as Mrs. Fanshaw went out on the porch.
"Well," she replied, "you might as
we'll, I reckon; but 1 wouldn't git Sloan;
he'll charge two prices, an dun us to
death. 1t hain't. nothin' but stroke
nohow, an his drugs nor nobody else's
can reach it. It's jest question O.
time. DR.. Wade will do as we'll as any
body"
Later in the afternoon Ronald had
come down and was sitting before the
fire in the living room. The man had
fallen asleep, watched by Bud Tarbell,
who had sent his cart home and offered
his services according 10 the custom
among neighbors in that vicinity. Mrs.
Fanshaw came in and began to look for
a bottle of liniment on the mantel-
piece.
''Dr. Wade's jest gone off, she told
Ronald, 'he says it's the second stroke
he's had, an that the next one will
carry i'm off as sure as preachin'. If
1 was you I wouldn't go nigh i'm, Ron,
it's best to humor pussons like he is"
Our hero made no reply. Dave came
from the sick room and stood on the
stone hearth warming his toes at the
flames. Mrs. Fanshaw had found the
bottle for which she was searching, and
turned to go.
''He won't last long," she said to
Dave; "seems to me heerd yore pa say
he left off payin' on his life insurance"
'Two yeer ago he did," said David,
6espondently. II had put good money
of my own into that, thinkin' if he died
the insurance would help us buy farm
of our own out west, whar Uncle Joe
says they are so cheap, but in that
hard-time season when all the crops
was burnt pa let it lapse, an it's gone
to the DEVIL
Its jest our usual luck grumbled
the old woman; "some n would "a hap
pened to a-kept all that money from
reachin' US anyhow. We never was
born under good star"
Ronald looked up. "You needn't let
that bother you, mother" he said, soft
ly. "The insurance policy is all right;
I attended to it,
The sudden change in Mrs. Fanshaw
was not alone due to gratified surprise.
Ronald thought he had never seen her
look at him quite so strangely. She
started to say something, which seemed
to have rushed impulsively to her
tongue, and then she shook her Shout
Gers, closed her lips tightly and left the
room.
Dave laughed. 'She certainly acts
peculiar to-day" he said. Dang it, pa
does, too, as for that matter. 1wish you
could a heerd i'm rant about you jest
now. He thinks you've got old Reddin'
an twenty other lawyers on his track
about some'n."
To this observation our hero made
no response.

Statistics show that suicide is largely

some would draw is that progress has

that mankind has grown more restless
and that with multiplied desires and
heightened aspirations there have come
new sources of discomfort. But the gem

increased with civilization. 1t seems to
