Seed. HUDSON sDRUa STORE.
Buy today whatever you may need
for Thanksgiving dinner, as all the
stores will be closed in observance of
the holiday.
Every man and boy who can get hold
of an old shotgun will be afield early
tomorrow, It will be a sad Thanks
giving for the birds.
And still the aIdermanic aspirant
hideth himself from public gaze and
continueth in the bushes. Verify, he
shyeth at shadow.
Americus merchants especially will
regret to see the ''shoofy" train taken
off Sunday. It has long proved one
of our trade winners.
Residents south of the Seaboard
Railway anxiousiy await the repairs to
Barlow street bridge, as they are now
cut off from the city.
More wagon loads of hay than of
cotton are to be seen upon the streets
of Amerlcus. Not few of our farmers
know the value of hay.
It is expected that action will be
taken either today or Friday upon the
Americas charter bill, now pending
before the Legislature.
Americas gunners are having great
sport shooting wild ducks, hundreds of
the birds coming to roost nightly in
the ponds near the city.
The grand jury is still turning the
inquisitorial wheel which fayeth the
guilty with each revolution. And the
wicked are trembling still.
Comparatively little cotton IS coming
to Americas now. The daily ware.
house receipts continue to stay down
below the hundred mark.
If you need an extra hundred for
pocket change check it out today, as
the bankers will be discussing turkey
and not finance tomorrow.
The TImes-Recorder publishes this
morning Circular No 286, of the Rail-
road Commission of Georgia, which
will be os interest to shippers here.
The children especially will be de-
lighted with the big lion to be seen
upon the stage at the matinee tomor-
row. It will be great show indeed.

BURGLARS IN GROCERY STORE
Robbed Cash Drawer Without Break
ing Lock.

A rather peculiar burglary was dis
covered at Mr.. G. A. Nix grocery store
when opened yesterday morning.
Upon investigation it was found that
the thief had entered through the Gel
lar by working loose small iron bar
across a window. He then came up
into the store and opened the cash
drawer without injUring the combina-
ton, taking five dollars from the till.
A small plank across the back door
was broken in two parts, the thief
probably doing this to conceal the
cellar entrance, evidently intending to
come again. The police think they
can soon spot the gay burglaire.

CHAPTER IT

Richard Somers reentered the office of Dr. Brodnar as the clock was strik- ing ten. He was in full evening dress and wore a white rose, a Lamarque, upon his lapel. As he stood drawing on his gloves Brodnar regarded him with silent admiration. The straight military figure of good height looked taller than it had. There was no sug- gestion of heaviness at any point, but behind the perfect lines lay, as he knew, an amount of strength and nervous force that would with retrain- ing rank their owner among the ath- letes. But fine as was the framework of the man and his physical development, there was in the face, shadowed at the moment by broad, down-drooping lashes and mustache, patrician ele- gance, native refinement and innate nobility that commanded undivided attention. The slightly aquiline fea- lures were softened by arched and evenly matched brows and an expres- sion indescribable by any other term than that invented by d Paris friend 1 -"the Somers smile.'' One never ap- preciated the value of that smile un- til an some moment of emotion the face which wore it grew white and straight, and the level gaze of the man was encountered. Above white, inclined forehead hair almost black lay in waves, but so closely as to leave visible the outlines of the splendid head. Such was Richard Somers at 2s, a man r.ved over by women, en- vied by men, known to but few.
 Tt is better this way" he was say ing of himself; "a man owes methin g to his family and his bride in the mat ter of dress, even though he is not to see or be seen., And he owes a great deal to himself. By the way, I as- sumed that am not to be seen-how- ever, is that one of the questions III s t not ask?"
 "Your face is not to be seen, Dick, except in the dark-dimly. But I am glad, nevertheless, that you selected your dress suit; it does seem more in taste. By the way-speaking of Ray mond Holbin-Dick, have you forgot ten that he dated from this state in the army? God knows where he was born. see him occasionally in Rich mond, and" Brodnar paused and looked curiousiy on his companion "have you ever been told that there is something not unlike in your personal appearance? Don't be offended, old fellow, but, between you and me, there isn't more unprincipled rascal un hung" Somer's face flushed once ant the smile left it. He replied with som. constraint:
 q did not know that he ever favored Richmond with his presence. I dit know, however, that he once lived i1 this state. His was a presidential ap pointmsnt. His mother years agt wielded considerable influence arount Washington, especially among sena tors. As to the likeness, it has bee, commented on before, and ono, fought boy at school for discoverini 5 the fact. Does he make Richmond hi hame ?''
 f-Of late, yes. But see that you ar annoyed. My dear fellow, very ugl. people may resemble very, landsom! ones- ghall we start 9M l, III n neaS1x. T rA

All others have their limitations-even love of man and woman burns itself out. l believe that somewhere between men such a friendship as this exists: to love where another loves instantly and forever; to hate where he hates blindly and inn

now or hereafter touching this mat ter; have you regard this woman to- night as holy charge and treat her with the reverence and respect you sh ould yield to your dead sister; and never from this moment until the day comes when 1 may release you-and that may be near or far-would have you seek to discover her name or place 1 of living. By your marriage contract 1 you obtain no rights whatever over the woman or her property-1 assure you she will claim nothing of you-and when the time comes for her to ask an honorable divorce at your hands-a mere matter of a few years, think l you are to grant it openly and freely. More than this may not tell you" Somers had leaned forwaru upon the table and was looking with deep interest into the speakers face.

There has been my chief difficulty, Dick. In these days it is hard to find q man into whose hands you may place young woman and say to her: Trust him implicitly!'" Somers smiled l slightly.
 My dear fellow, don't you see that it is you whom the woman will trust in this instance, not me? l an only to vindicate you"
 Then you consent?'
