CHAPTER XII.

Refuse To Give You My Daughter.
Sybil Jocelyn walked quickly to the
house. The squire was still sleeping
in his easy-chair; Irene and Violet had
not returned. She went into the
steps, from window to door.
Anything but this. She would have
pordoned Rupert if he had been angry
with her, if he had reproached her, if
he had called her light or false; but
he had revenged himself by SANDER
ing her love, and she would not for
give him; no, not if he were dying, and
, sent for her.
Her face burned, her eyes flashed,
her girlish figure was drawn up to it's
full height She was no longer the
fair, loving child; she was transform
ed into an angry, outraged woman.
Opposition affected her as it does,
unhappily, so many girls-it made her
resolve upon blindly following her own
will. She never for one moment
thought or believed there was the
least truth in what Sir Rupert or any
one else said of Captain Ayrton.
It only angered and incensed her
She never dreamed there was truth
in it.
Her anger subsidized as night came
on. She was too generous to overlook
entirely the pain she had inflicted
upon the noble man who loved her.
She remembered the keenness of his
disappointing the sorrow in his
voice, the patience and might of his
love.
She was quite resolved upon never
speaking to him again; the lips that
had spoken falsely of her love should
never speak kindly to her. If he en-
tered a room where she was, she
would leave it, unless he chose to apol-
ogize, and aver what he had said was
false.
Ihen her reverie was broken, for
the squire was calling her; he wanted
his songs, his darling's merry laugh,
and pretty girlish talk. And when she
had sung to him until the tears stood
warm and bright in her own eyes. she
took her accustomed place at his feet,
and the squire talked to her as he
would never talk again.
She listened to him, she answered
gayly; but her thoughts were back in
Glynn Woods; it was Lyster Ayrton's
fair face she saw, and not her fathers
kindly glance; it was LISTERS voice
that threw it's glamour over her. and
not the squire's.
Never more would the old man bend
over his darling, play with her golden
hair, or give her back jest for Jest.
He had loved her all his life, he had
lived for her; he had lavished wealth
and luxury upon her; he would have
| laid his gray head upon the block for
her; and she had left him for one who
could never lavish real love upon her.
You are tired, he said at last, bend
ing tenderly over her. Kiss me and
say goodnight.
| She raised her face and kissed him:
| laid her warm fresh lips upon his
brow; then, with a cry, buried her face
in his breast
You are overtired, said the squire.
| Goodnight, my darling Gods bless
ing be all about you!

To the Voters of the Third Rail-
road Commission District

In announcing myself candidate for
reelection as Railroad Commissioner,
do so, subject to nomination by the
Democratic party.
In presenting my claims for re-elec-
ton, permit me to say that am planter,
raising cotton and hay for shipmint to
market, consequently, am by nature,
by training and by financial interest,
thorough in sympathy with the producer
and consumer-the one who, in the end,
pays all the freight and other expenses
and who needs protection more than any,
one else, and to whom the Railroad Com
mission can be made the most important
Office in the State.
During the year and half that have
held the office, it has been my aim (and
it shall be my aim as long as hold it)
to guard closely the interest: CD OF the
farmers and producers; "a of the towns
in my district; (3) to deal out even
handed justice to the carriers that come
within our jurisdiction.
This, feel that have done faithful
ly and efficiently.
Again, as the Commission is hardly
more than we'll organized and under way
with its wrok, feel that the experience
gained up to this time will be valuable to
me in the fuller and more efficient dis
charge of its duties in the future.
Having drawn the short term Of two
years, believe that you will agree with
me that 1t would be nothing more than
common justice that be returned and
given an opportunity to utilize the ex-
perience gained, and help carry into eff
feet the reforms which I have studied
and helped to map out.
With this brief explanation, respect
fully solicit the vote and support of each
and every voter in the district.
Very respectfully,
w. L. FOSTER,
Rail Road Commissioner, Sd District.
