1T was much to me. 1t was enouch

You with my whole heart and soul"
Sim was too happy to speak, so he
stood silently stroking her hair, ab-
sorbing the Joy with which the very
air seemed smpregnated. After a little
while she said:
And now, Sim, can you ever fo~-

She nestled her head on his shoulder
and drew long sigh OF happy relief.

as this
Some there were who watched this
reunion Of husband and wife wit,
curiosity, some who watched it with
JOY and two who watched it with
malice and envy. These last were
Mary Mann and Jim Thorn. They
did not forget that Sim was under
arrest and that probably the gallows
or the state prison awaited him, but
in spite OF that they would have de-
privea him OF the happiness of this
brief moment.
Sam Morgan was rejoiced, yet trou-
bled. He was happy to see Sim and
Louisa joined in love, but he, too, re-
membered the future and what 1t like
ly held for Sim. Turning to Pap Samp-
son, he whispered:
"Pd give the world II. Sim was only
free. 1t seems so hard to take him
from his wife now"
"Sim's Innocent" Pap replied, IAN
don't b'lieve he'll have to suffer"

In the open door. Everybody looked
Up and saw II was Louisa. Then a ST.
leace as still as death fell over the
scene.
She paused for an instant and gianc-
ed around. Her eyes wandered until
they rested on Sim. Then with q cry
full of JOY and pathos she tottered to-
ward him. His arms opened to receive
her, and the next moment she was
folded TO his breast. and In silence they
were weeping together.
Nobody spoke. 1t was a scene too
impressive, too sacred, to be disturbed.
Many stood with their heads bent.
their hearts full and their eyes moist
with tears. Sam Morgan drew his
handkerchief from his pocket and has
tily turned his face away, while Ebe-
Meier Sparks stood smiling idiotically,
making heroic efforts to appear unaf-
fectsd.
No one moved but Pap Sampson. He
stood humping the floor with his cane
as though he had a contract to thump
hole through 1t and was determined
to accomplish his undertaking. All the
while there was a smile on his wrin-
kled. tanned old face such as had rot
been seen there for many days. Ee
was happy, and no wonder! He had
worked and hoped and longed for this
ali those four long years.
1t was Sim who broke the silence.
Taking Louisa's head between his
hands, he raised it gently until their
eyes met. Then he saw that she, too,
had suffered.
Poor little giTlr' he said tenderly.
1T has been hard, cruelty hard, for
you"
YES" she sighed, "hard and dark,
but it has been harder for you. Poor
Simw
And you pity me too?"
She drew closer to him and met his
eyes with hers in look full OF tender
ness.
TT is not that, SIM" she whispered.
lit is not pity"
He began to tremble. All, could 1t be
that heaven was about to open right
before him, with all it's light and glory.
after this long, weary night Of bitter
dissolution? lie dared not hope. 1t
was too nrch TO expect. In husky, ca
ger tones he said:
Louisa, tell me, what is it?"
''It is love-"
Then to Sim Banks all the glory and
joys of earth and heaven were unfold
ed, and IN one moment all the dark sor-
rows and pains of the past, all the
threatened dangers Of the future, pass
ed away as dream. That was the
one moment OF supreme bliss In his
life.

don't it,?
Does so. That Teller must "a had a
heap Of business with 'em. I'd give a
punty 10 know what 1t is"
"Mebby well know right soon now,
for see 'em a-comin."
Presently the squire entered the
room, followed closely by Jason Rob
erts and Hicks. The squire looked
very solemn, and his face was almost
sad. Hicks was. quiet and impassive,
but Jason was smiling all over. The
squire walked to- his seat, and Hicks
followed and sat near him. Neither OF
them spoke to anybody. Jason, how
ever, stopped long enough to whisper
word to Sim. What that word was
no one knew, but they all saw that it
caused Sim to start and look wonder
ingly around.
The squire put ON his spectacles, took
a paper from his pocket and uafolded
II. Then he looked around over all
those assembled and said impressively:
II have here, a paper that am going
to read. but first want to say. in the
presence OF You all, that Sim Banks is
an innocent man
A fiutter OF excitement succeeded
these words and two or three edged up
to Sim and extended him their hands
to show that they were glad. Sam
Morgan gaze a yell and threw his hat
clear mp 10 the ceiling, while Pap Samp-
son began vigorous pounding on the
floor With his cane.
Squire Beeson raped on his table to
bring Pap and Sam to order Then he
proceeded to read the paper he held in
his hand.
That paper was the confession OF Jo-
seph Thompson, formerly known 10
Ell Jenkins and Jonathan Turner as
Waite. but whose real name was Rob
eFt Marchand. He confessed in the
presence Of witnesses and under oath
that he fired the shot that killed Frank
shelton, alias James Melvin. He did
1t, he said, to avenge the honor of his
sister and the life OF his brother, and
he had no regrets for the act He had
tracked shelton to that place, and he
had come there under the name OF
waite Aor the purpose OF kllllnS nlm,
After that he had gone to the army
under the name Of Thompson, and fate
had guided him to Sim Banks, the
man who was suspected OF his crime
When Sim came horne. he had come
with him, knowing Sim would be ar
rested and 1t would devolve on him to
clear him.

"Sim Banks is discharged and stands

joice with him and Louisa. 1t was
great scene and one that was never
forgotten, and If Squire Reasons office
floor was not punched full OF holes it
was not Pap Simpsons fault
Pap is my true and tried old friend"
Sim said, with tears in his eyes, for
he stood by me from the first to the
last"
Lord, Sim, nobody couldn't ever
make me blleve you done it," Pap re-
Piled. IAN when these fellers lowed 1t
was you knowed they was lest bark
in at knot"
And this is al, except that two days
later Robert AIarchand died in Sim
Banks ar-:s and that Sim and Louisa
have settled down to a new life, with
the old dark past cut adrift. with all
its scr-o-s. sufTerings end misunder-

Pap Sampson had been fidgeting In
and out of the room ever since he
came. He'd so out and look of down
the street, then come in and sit down.
In few minutes he'd so through the
same motions again. This he kept UP
till finally sam Morgan said:
What's the matter of you. Pap.
that you've got so restless all at onceT'
''Nothin, Sam, nothin at ALL" Pap re-
piled.
But Sam Morgan knew better.

The Alabama State Bar Association held it's second days session iIA the Senate chamber yesterday morning and completed its labors about 12 o'clock.

 . 1. k.1 . h., thanks of the association.
 Hon. T. NJ. Owen, State Historian, read an able and valuable paper on Ephain Kirby. the first Territorial Judge of the State of Alabama, and like all of Mir owens productions showed careful preparation and great | research. Hon. F. G. Bromberg of Mobile pre- | scented the report of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence The report of the Committee on Leg islation was not made in view of the fact that the Constitutional Convention was in session and that body would probably make many changes in the present laws.
 The following resolution was pre- sented by the Committee on Griev- ances:
 Resolved, That any lawyer who at tempts to create the impression that he or any other can unduly influence the Judge of any court in the decision of any case is unworthy to belong to the profession. and the members of the profession are requested to dis courage such injustice"
 The resolution was adopted without dissenting vote.

Fireproo6ng Wood by Electricity.

By the Modem and, Bretonneau process, as used at Paris. wood Is made proof against fire by placing 1t in a bath of magnesium sulpnate.9 Lead eteOtrodes are used, tho one being separated from the other by sali-cloth diaphragm. A direct current of no volts Is then sent through the wood. with the result that the sap Is extracted and is replaced by 2 Ten-in- flammabIe salt According to The Elec- tro-Chemist and MetalluEgist the phenon1- enon Is thus explained: 1. Part of the sulphate fills up the cells by eleckro-ca- between the sulphate and the salts of the sap. g. Aseptie action. The process has been applied with suceess to paving blocks. The treatment lasts for 48 hours, hours. The rate of energy is about half an electric Iorse- power at % 10 30 volts per cubic metre. -.E.tL .....-.

SETTLEMENT OF TAXES.
Collector Halls of Montgomery Coun ty Makes Good Showing.

Yesterday Mir. George w. Halls made formal settlement with the Auditor of his accounts for the tax year 1900, as Tax Collector for Montgomery County. He was charged with $2SO,o0O State and County taxes. He had an insolvent list of only $66.7O.
 It is doubtful if his record can be equnled by any County in Alabama. r. is per centage of loss so small as to be. beyond calculation. Montgomery County, as a County is to be congrat- ulated on such a showing.
 Tax Collector Halls also added to the tax books s57e of escaped property Much of this was due to the County map. made by Engineer Garrett. In his work MT. Halls was greatly sssisted by MT. Charles B. Teasley, who is thor oughly conversant with tax laws and values.
 It is a remarkable fact that at the land sale for delinquent taxes not a piece was bought by the State. It was all bought by individuals at a consid- erable advance over the amount due for taxes and cost.
