OodIu duiulllCeA llitiL l1G iteid no tlillc "
attend to the duties required, and did
not do so.

property in the State fully attested this.

Chairman Cameron then stated that as
several sections Of the report remained
to await action on other reports, he hoped
that further consideration of this section
would be passed by to await other .e-
ports.
This course was adopted and the vote
on the motion to reconsider was not
taken.

ter Of the Land Office with that one, and

ing the office of Public Printer with that
OF Secretary OF the Commonwealth.

practically nothing to do except to: give

section already adopted by the conven-s
ton, the clerk OF the House of Delegates
was made Keeper of the Rolls. and the
creation of distinct Library Board I:

one. When he's gone another rook
flies to his nest and steals the stick.
When he gets back he puts down
the second stick, for still another
rook to steal, and starts after the
first stick He doesn't find it, and
when he gets back to his nest he
finds the second stick gone, and he
starts after that, scolding and swear

dulged in his midday meal
Yes, mother" answered he, and
shortly went forth to carry out his
mothers wishes.

please" murmured John, sweetly, az
he rendered six cents in payment.
Bread has gone up, my boy, one

held out his hand for the needful bal
ance.
When?" queried John, thoughtfully
as the prospect of distasteful double
journey flashed across his mind.

spasmodically, for it was yesterday IS

The Return.
BY FRANK H. SWEET.

Copyright, 1902, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
All through the hot July forenoon
movers outfit had dragged slowly
along the red, sun-hardened road.
When it reached the top of a long hill
it swerved in under the shadow of
some trees and halted. A tall, broad
shouldered man clambered down from
the wagon, and was presently followed
by young woman in a sunbonnet and
an old man who peered eagerly from
side to side. The mules were unhar-
messed and fed, and two guant, travel
weary cows united from behind the
wagon and turned loose to Craze.
Then the man took fishing pole and
started leisurely toward a green line
of bushes, which could be seen wind
: ing along in the distance; the woman
went into the woods to gather fuel.
The old man watched them depart
with evident uneasiEess. He loitered
about undecidedly. and at last walked
slowly down the road. A big brindle
dog rose lazily and followed him.
The wagon was concealed from be-
low by an abrupt bend in the road.
Along this were dropping masses Of
chincapin bushes. The old man paused
near them and gazed wistfully into
the valley. Every building, field and
orchard passed successfully under his
gaze, and his dim old eyes grew misty
with loving recognition. Presently he
saw a horseman in the distance, and
he looked at him curiously. After
awhile his curiosity changed to in
terest, and then to apprehension. AS
the horseman came slowly up the hill
he trembled violently and at last
turned and hurried toward the wagon.
AS he did so the dog sprang forward
with loud barks of suspicion and de-
iance.
Suddenly there was a sharp report,
and a thin cloud of smoke rose haZi,y
into the air. AS it floated out over
the chincapin bushes the horseman
came into view. There was smile
of amusement on his face, which in
stantly disappeared as he glanced to-
ward the wagon. Underneath it. and
lying in the shade was the form of
man, apparently asleep
With a startled exclamation the
horseman threw himself from his sad
die and hurried toward the recumbent
figure At the same moment the
woman emerged from the woods.
What's the matter?" she demanded
fercely. "Have you shot him?"
N--no, reckon not" The man rose

ing them wonderingly. John Parker
son turned to her with moist esses.
"Your father was foreman en our
plantation" he said softly. He and !
were young men together, and were
like brothers. He shot me accident
ally while out hunting Poor Phil! !"
He raised the old man to his fest, and
added cheerfuIly. You must never
leave us again, Phil. The old Burke
place is for sale, very cheap. Thirty
acres and house under a fine group OF
live oaks. 1 advise you to buy II"
81 amt prospered enough to buy
land" he said deprecatingly.
John Parkerson laughed.
you remember we owed you quar-
ter's wages when you left. PHIL he
said. THAT two hundred dollars has
been accommodating interest for thirty
years. 1t will be enough to buy the
Burke place"
