CHAPTER V.

The Wright place was one of the
oldest homesteads in. the country, but
neither time nor war had dismantled
it of its old-time grandeur. The
sharper tints of the. dwelling had
been toned down, and there was left
the soft reposefulness and aristocrat-
ic old age. Good care had been taken
of it by the Wrights, who had kept
it in thorough repair and enhanced
it's interior decoration. The long
avenue, sentinelled by trees, leading
to the house, was scrupulously grav-
elled, the trees were trimmed with
care, and the lawn in summer was
as smooth and soft to the eye as
green silk.
The house itself was an example
of the magnificent in structure. It
had long piazza, spacious halls and
big rooms. Seen in summer, envi-

Don't go probing round for troubles-just
ignore them, day by day.

at present, but-ah me!
There's the sorrow OF to-morrow-where
will all our sunshine be-"
II the worst is in the future apd bps been
there all the while.
We can keep II there by laughing till we
make the others smile.
II the worst is in the future let It stay
there, for We know
That to-morrow's always threatening to
bring US so-and-so;
But tomorrow with its sorrow never
comes within our gaze.
For all time Is just q pageant of these
busy old to-days.
Let the WORST stay in the future where 1t
has been. all the while!
We can keep II there by laughing till the
others start to smile.
When we look toward the sunset in the
gorgeous afterglow,
Let us thank the blessed Father for the
things we do not know;
Let us thank Him with all fervency that
He has never sent
Any burden quite unbearable; that, while
our backs have bent
Underneath the load. we've had His arms
about us all the while.
Let us laugh away our troubles till the
whole world wears smile!
Let US laugh away the trouble. though
our eyes are dimmed with tears;
Let us laugh away the heartaches and
the worries and the fears;
Just ''be good and you'll be happy"-if
you're happy. you'll be good;
For the rules so double-acting that it's
seldom understood.
oh, there is no future coming with a lot

Mystery Of the
Bayou Woods
BY WALKER KENNEDY.
Copyright, 1908. by A. N. kellogg Newspaper Co.
CHAPTER ".

Col. Franklin was a man of strong
traits and prejudces, and it was evil
dent to Irving Warde that if he in
terested himself in the Wright case
he would come nearer perhaps than
any one else in solving the mystery
involved in it. He was not an eX-
tensive practitioner of his profession,
but he had accomplished number
of wonderful feats in cases which
had become historic. 1t WAS Franklin
who had unravelled an election con-
spiracy and made the demonstration
so clear to the courts that the emf
nently respectable gentleman who
appeared to have been elected
chancellor on the face of the returns
was deprived of the Office to which he
had been elevated by one of the
clevcrest frauds recorded in the his
tory of electoral rascality. Beside
this, there was the great diamond
swindle which had fame in its day
throughout the entire lower Mississ-
ippi valley; case ramifying into
Nilus, New Orleans and Vicksburg.
1t was Franklin who exposed it, and
by the exposure landed number OF
audacious swindlers in the penitenti-
ary. He was known to be wealthy,
though he did not practice his profess
sion with that assiduity which be-
tokens the born lawyer. Indeed it
was hardly of sufficient scope for the
mans many-sided activity, and though
he took very sharp interest in that
class of litigation which demands the
readiness of q resourceful intellect
and makes unusual demands upon the
ingenuity, he very cordially despised
that other sort which infiicts dull
drudgery. 1t was popularity supposed
that the colonel was interested in a
number of enterprises outside cf the
law, which paid him more handsomely
than his profession. III Arkansas he
owned a plantation which yielded him
q fine cotton crop every year, and it
was said that he had some interests
in common with his friend John L.
Wright. He came to Nilus about 90
years before the opening of this mar
rative, and by his affable manners,
his dash, his decidedly handsome face,
and the mesmerism, as it were, OF
his personality, he was soon success
fully launched. He happened to win
ut the start several cases that occu-
pied notable places in the popular
fancy, and this at once made him
famous. But his financial success
dated from the time when he defend
ed John T. Wright from the charge OF
murder. In a fit of passion the lat
ter had killed the overseer OF his
plantation, and when his anger sub
