tSAKR. HARRINGTON to see you

SNHR. HARRINGTON to see you,
N SIR" announced the office boy.
"Show him in," directed the mer-
chant, land, Dexter, see that we are
not disturbed"
"Good-morning," said Harrington,
blandly, as he entered. "You wish to
see me, your note said" And the self
possessed, fashionable man of the
world regarded the merchant with a
slightly interested air.
"Yes, +" and going to the window
the merchant drummed absently on

to his caller, "I-the fact is, Harring-

night and-quite accidentally, you un-
derstand, heard your avowal tony
wife. Saw you kiss her as you held her
in your arms, and-well, the usual love
scene when affairs have reached eli
max"

DO the right thing" echoed Har-
rington. "May l ask what you"
"Some men," interrupted the mer-
chant, "would shoot you-as you de-
serve; some would endeavor to avert
matters; some would do nothing and
let things come to smash. I shall do
neither. I am"
"Then why the trouble of this inter-
view?" asked Harrington, coolly.
"If you love my wife as you vowed to
her last night, you must know, or
partly realize, at least, how I love her,
and" the merchant turned again to
the window.

to keep her love-" he continued, bitter

A Scheme for Having Fun Like
College Secret societies.

town of Pulaski, Tenn, Welcomed

though they we're veterans Of had
fought fields, were for the most part
no older than the mass Of colleges
students. In the general proverty,
the exhaust alton, the lack of heart,
naturally prevalent through the
beaten south, the young men had
more leisure than was good for them:
A southern county town, even in the
halcyon days brfore the war. was
not particularly lively place; and
Pulaski in 1866 was doubtless rather
tame to fellows who had seen Pickett
charge at Gettysburg or galloped
over the country with Morgan
and VIII, eler. A group of them,
assembled in law Office one evening
in My, 1886. were discussing ways
and m"ans of having livelier time.
Some one suggested club or society.
An organization with no very definite
aims WAS effected; and at a second
meeting week later names were
proposed and discussed. Some one
proposed the Greek word ''Ku-
kh<." meaning circle From "ku-
khs" t. Ku Klux" was an easy

to deserted and halfruined house
on the outskirts of the village.
In the beginning it was, il. fact
no movement at all 1t was a

would also have been meu of wealth.
