warm personal friendship with him,

stories. Mrs. Spofford feared that he
might be taking them because of his

Of her work. She resolved to put the
matter to test. Her handwriting
was peculiar. One of the most char
acteristic letters was her d, to the
end Of which she gave queer little
crook toward the left. In order to
Disguise her work she had her sister

Southern Social Gains.

Socially the south Is making exceed
ingly creditable gains. Since 1866 the
southern states have expended over
$4O0. 100000 for the public school edu-
cation OF her children, blacks and
whites alike. although the white
population pay four-fifths of the taxes.
.llltteracy among whites and blacks
is declining In the south. The attrac.
tons Of that section to settlers from
the northern states and from Eur5ps
are steadily increasing. That section
will undoubtedly make greater
growth In population, industries and
In general social advancement IN the
next ten years than It has scored IL

And vim beyond compare.

And sends the crisp leaves rafting
Across the frozen lawn.

Assails the atmosphere.
Then, nearer home, watchdog,
Awakened from his sleep,
Gives voice to his resentment
In tones prolonged and deep.

Goes cracking down the road:
hear the a4les groaping
Beneath the heavy load.

And on the pane. see.

Slow feet pass down the hall;

To draw the bedclothes closer,
And go to sleep again.
