Mobile. Nov. 13.-(Special.) .)-The steam CT Mary reached the city this afternoon after one of the most eventful trips ever made on the Alabama River, between this city and Selma. She has been six teen days making the round trip. and dur ing that time her experiences have been continual and varied. On the up trip she found and stuck on nearly ever bar in the river and at one of these bars one of her barges laden with cotton seed sprang leak and sank, though the river was so low the water did not get to the deck of the barge, the cargo being undamaged, Notwithstanding her delay, the Mary landed at Selma for the Buckeye cotton seed oil mills 7,533 sacks of cotton seed. one of the largest cargoes of seed ever delivered at any point along the Alabama River. This big cargo of seed was due to a fight between the combination and inde- pendent mills, the agent of the latter offering $16 per ton for seed the combine had been only paying SIP for, with the result that the farmers sold all the seed they had to the agent of the independent mill
 On her down trip the Marys trials and tribulations continued, for she smashed her wheel against rock bank and also burned out her dynamo. She finally reached Mobile with a good cargo con- sisting of 74s bales of cotton: 1000 sacks of seed; 5,5os slaves and big list of sun dries.

~ Thousand Dollars Reward.
BY EDGAR WELTON COOLEY.

Copyright, 1902, Daily Story Pub. Co.
With the joy of living that comes to
one who wanders amid the peaceful fields
and sees the first glad rays of sunlight
fall athwart the timothy and clover, a
woman stepped from her kitchen
door and walked down the path toward
the spring. Her eyes sparkled and her
cheeks were flushed
With a song upon her lips she pressed
aside the elder brushes whose branches
1nterlaced above the tranquil pool, and,
STOPPING, dipped her bucket in the spark
ling liquid. Then, lifting the dripping
pail, she turned to retrace her steps.
Suddenly heavy hand was laid upon
her arm, and she started and gazed
speeches. and affrighted into the face Of
striped clothes spoke Of crime and prison
walls.
She attempted to cry out, but her
tongue refused to do her bidding. Her
face turned pale, and trembling like the
grasses at her feet, she stared with
wide-open eyes and heaving bosom at the
one before her.
do not be alarmed" he whispered ct
will not harm you, num-"
Something in his voice, coarse and
brutal though it was, treasured her, and
she felt the blood surge to her temples
and her pulses quicken. For a moment
the man glanced furtively through the
bushes Then he resumed:
Il am sorry I frightened you, num-
he said. Il should not have done so
only ami want you to help me-
He paused, and the woman saw
CLEAN of cold despair in his cold gray
eyes.
Num- he said finally, glancing down
at his garments, "as you can see 1 have
escaped from the prison over there L
did not intend to break the rules; | in
tended to serve out my time like man.
and after that to live an honorable life,
But-but-they would not let me go home,
just to see my baby boy-my dyin' baby"
His voice choked, and he brushed his
rough hand across his eyes
IT asked the warden to let me go. L
gave him my word of honor L would
return; told him he might send a guard
with me if he couldn't trust me- But he
wouldn't allow it, not even when my
baby was dyin', mum, dyin' and calm
for his dad with every breath"
Tears trickled down his dark cheeks,
dropping onto his hideous gray and black
striped shirt.
Its like bein' out of the world to
be locked up in prison, mum. It's like
bein' in the hot place the preachers tell
US about, but I didn't kick. suppose
1 deserve it. for 1 have been a bad
one-about as bad as they make 'em,
mum, reckon. But when-when nv
woman wrote that little Benny hadn't
long to live and that he was calm for
his dad, couldn't stand it, mum. God!
1 couldn't stand it.
''You never saw little Benny, num- He

brutal like his dad. He's as pure as the
sunshine what loves to kiss his little yell
Ter curls, and as sweet and as inherent
as the smiles what play hide and seek

And to know that he was calm for

went to closet and took from a nail
an old suit of clothes Then she walked
| across the room and from a bureau
drawer took her pocketbook. Then she
| paused.
She fondled the money in her hands.
1t was all she had in the world, and
her husband was sick-had been HELPLESS
for several weeks.
She turned and glanced through the
door at her husband lying on his bed.
The baby had climbed to his side and
was nestled in his arms, its cheek press
ed against his cheek. Both were fast
asleep
With the light Of affection shining in
ner eyes, the woman took several of
the bills and, placing the remainder back
IN the drawer, hurried out of the room.
mat afternoon man tackled a large
bill upon a fence across the road.
Ihrough curiosity the woman walked to
the gate and read the f1aring poster
1t was an announcement that the war
den OF the prison would pay $1,000 re-
ward for the return, dead or alive. Of
the body of Jack Barnes, escaped con-
vict.
Then she returned to the house and
went about her work with a far-away
look in her eyes, a smile upon her face
and, In her ears, the sound of a baby
voice crying, Daddy"
Again it was early morning and again
| the woman walked down the path to the
| spring. But her face was marked with
| lines of care and there was sorrow in
| her heart.
AS she parted the elder bushes man,
| sitting beside the pool, arose and re-
moved his hat awkwardly. When she
| saw him she started and drew back
Il wanted to tell you, num- he said,
| ''as how I saw little Benny afore he
died. I saw him, did, and I held him
in my arms and he died-there In my
arms
He smiled sadly and gazed down into
the mirroring waters of the spring.
I'm goin' back to prison, num-" he
continued. I'm goin' back to serve my
sentence like a man, and I mean to live
a better life when I get out, for 1 can
feel little Benny's arms around my neck,
mum-always around my neck"
He paused and the woman held out her
hand to him.
81 am so glad-Mr. Barnes" she said.
Before the tenderness in her eyes and
the kindness in her voice the man grew
embarrassed. But finally he resumed:
Il want you to send word to the war
den that I'm hidin' here, mum, for then
you'll get the reward, and that's the
only way I have of payin' what 1 owe
We. num-"
Quick tears sprang to the woman's
eyes, and after moments thought she
said:
I'll do as you bid, for it's best that
you should go back there and-and-God
knows I am in great need. My husband
is sick and helpless, our money is gone
and
The convict interrupted her.
I'm glad-God! I'm glad I come back,
num- he cried, the ring Of gratitude
in his voice. You go now, hum, and let
the warden know and I'll stay right
here until the guard comes, and-and-
God bless you, mum, God bless you.'
