search. Though abundantly able,
through the generosity of his father,
to enter into all of the pleasures Of
the gilded class, he performed the
rare feat of remaining studious re-
cllse and retaining his popularity,
During the years spent In college
he was an intellectual and physical
machine, seemingly incapable of men
tai or bodily fatigue. The few
friends who enjoyed the privilege of
his apartments found him the best
of hosts, with well-appointed side
board and the choicest of cigars. ES-
cept on rare occasions Hammond did
not permit these social relaxatons to
intrude on his time, and his friends
grew to know just how long Sidney
would tolerate their company in
preference to his books. .
Hestor slipped glass Of wine;
knocked the ashes from his cigar,
to Hammond.
Elbow long does our famous cor
respondent intend to remain in New
York;" asked Sidney Hammond. ut

"It seems good to be here" replied
Hestor. 81 am going to quit roaming
around and stay in this country for
awhile. I believe there is more big
news on the tapis here than anywhere
in the world. believe there is some
sensational news about the trusts if
it could be obtained and properly
handled"
''They are getting big enough and
bold enough TO attract attention. y
said Hammond. "There win be plen-

CHAPTER I.
KIDNAPPED.

KIDNAPPED.
"All about the Kidnapped Million.
nires!! Record Extra! All about
the Great Mystery!! Record Extra!"
hundreds of newsboys poured from
an alley and dashed into the human
currents which surge at the conflu.
ence Of Nassau street and Park Row.
In moment the air was aflame with
the red headlines OF the "Record Ex-
ira" 1t was not necessary to buy
paper The type was SO large that
it told the news to the passerby.
For week the Wall street boom
had been the sensation of New York
and of the country. The perpetual
excitement which reigns within the
shadow of Trinity church had per.
meated office and counting room. It
was the whispered topic Of conversa-
ton among clerks, and the noisy sub.
ject of debate in hotel lobby and
corridor. The jargon of the Stock
Exchange was Incorporated into met
ropolitan English. The tales of for.
tunes made to the clicking music of
the ticker, aroused the cupidity of
thousands, who saw in the whirl Of
speculative frenzy the prospect of
wealth without work. Newspapers
fed the flame and We'd in displaying
and narrating the golden exploits Of
magnate and operator.
On this Tuesday morning headlines
and text covered the front page of
the New York Record and proclaimed
the following story:
KIDNAPPED!!!

sousa, the popular bandmaster, was

Sousa, the popular bandmaster, was
summoned to play before King Ed
ward VII. After his men had rem
dered various selections he spoke a
quiet word of command, and THE
Star-Spangled Banner" rang out. At
the first note of it the king rose, and
the whole brilliant audience followed
his example. Our American folk may
learn lesson even from king. 1t is
no true democracy that tries to dem
onstrate its worth by display of bad
manners. Wherever our national all
is played or wherever our flag waves
there hats should come off and salute
be given. Girls ought TO devise a
graceful gestu, Of respect. Boys have
theirs prescribed for them. On such
marks of reverence patriotism thrives,
and there will never come day when
republic can live without vital pa
triotis1n.

Hymen Has Spoken.

According to the divine man. dates and the prOmptings of the human heart, Cupid bends the bow and the dart of love executes it's work of rapture. We hear the faint and distant sounds of approaching wedding bells that tell the story of unspeakable love. The bride groom in this drama is MT. R. F. Cox a most worthy young man of Texarkana, Ark. He is an artistic painter and pa per-hanger by profession and worthy the love and confidence of any lady. The bride is the charming daughter of our much beloved pastor, Rev. F. B. Taylor. The nuptials will be solemnized at the home of the brides father on the 7th. of May.
 We congratulate the happy twain and trust their lives may be as sweet and charming as a rose -bedecked canoe floating through paradise.

 J. w. Wilder was in our midst the first of last week.
 Most of our farmers are plant ing cotton this week. Miss Lillie May Harris, of De View, is visiting at MT. Hatch CTS this week.
 Many of our people have been turkey hunting. but have met with poor success.
 Mrs. Dee Clancy left Monday for the Reunion at Dallas, and to visit her parents near there.
 c. w. Bowen was in our good country again last week, but we learn he returned to White coun- ty Saturday.
 Ben Bratcher and Ness Jones were hunting and found four ve- " large turkey-gobblers. and of course, they couldn't kill them. Ask Ben.
 Booker says he is nearly through clearing his ewground. We hope MT. Wilder will not have him move to another place that has grown up in bushes.
 Dee Clancy has secured em- ployment in the building of a dwelling in Clarendon. MT. Chaney is a no. 1 workman and we wish him much success in his work. He says he will have em- pIoyment all the summer.
 A great deal of interest is be- ing shown in Sunday school by the young people, which indi- cates that we will have a great Sunday school this year. But the older people should attend more, to encourage the young.
 A very prominent young man severed his connection with a we'll farming concern in our neighborhood last week, rather than work on Saturday evening. We think man should not require hand to work too hard for the wages they get, but a hand should not refuse to work an hour or two Saturday even- ing.
 Our editor, in speaking of Ali Taylor's speech last week,s said that adjectives were to speech what paint is to house. But if you were to use your best adject- ives on small things such as he mentioned-how could you show any importance in thing that is important. We think the effect would be the same as it would to paint your cow-shed with the brightest paint you have, and then try to find a paint suitable for your dwelling.
