IT'S 10 O'clock" said Bob suddenly break
ing off a chapter of oliver Twist that she had
been reading aloud
Tonic turned rather yellow. Il suppose it's
time to gargle.' he said hopelessly.
Your time" corrected Bob with relish.
Tonic got up with the air of Sydney Carton.
and advanced toward the washstand, where
the murky gobets were standing side by side
Soda first?' he asked. in hollow voice.
No, borax." said Bob advancing hrisky
Are you ready?"
Tonic took down ample bath towel and
solemnly stuffed an end around his neck. 1t
covered his small, slim frame from head to
foot. He gave slight hitch to his sleeves
and grasped the goblet.
Ready" said Bob, and extended one arm
with her hand crooked in the shape of an
Egyptian pillow. Tonic nodded his head gulped
at the goblet, and. stifenng to rightly, fell
back like a post Bob supported the back of
his neck by her crooked hand. while from his
throat blood-curdling sounds assured her that
he was not Sinking his duty as a gargler
This complicated action was repeated with the
soda, after which Tonic. with many reminiscent
shudders took off the towel and put the clock
a position SO prominent that he could not
:ail to mark the time when Bobs turn came
around.
The meaning of this is that while Bob a
tawny haired, lanky tomboy, had been visiting
al the home of her friends. Belle and Tonic
all three Of them had developed sore throats
and as dphtheria had been in the neighborhood
there was much alarm in the house of Gordon.
The prospective invalids were guaranteed in
their rooms on the top floor. where the younger
members Of the family might receive no harm
from them. and were commanded to gaTgle regu-
II-ly every hour.
Tonic was very grateful for Bob's compan-
louship during this idle indoor life. He. the

Bob as she was thus free to impose on him
whatever books she chose to read aloud. She
had long burned to dOuse him with oliver
Twist" and this she now proceeded to do at
the rate of ten chapters day.
Belle, the third prisoner, listened intermittent
ly to "Oliver Twist" but often stole away to
write love letters. for at the age of twelve she
put out shoots Of sentiment every week
This state of mind in Belle had alienated her
from her brother. whose aversion TO the tender
passion was great that Bob was always
obliged before telling him any story she had
read. to expunge from it any heart interest
it might retain. But even Bob, though not
bigoted like Tonic had sympathy with Bellies
love affair.
Bob and Tonic therefore drew together and
wore away the hours in varied fashions that
suited both equally. For instance. they un-
tanked their pet turtles and placed them on
racecourse made OF two parallel walls Of
books. When the turtles were started with a
finger tip. bets of five kopecks. two centimes
sixpence. were made with Uncle Gordon's col
lection Of old coins. They shot with arguns at
armies of paper Indians set out on the floor.
Now il may have been owing to this unnatural
indoor life, or to the influence of oliver Twist"
but all their amusements ran to some perverted
end. The friends bickered over the turtle race
because Tonic took to nudging his turtle when
1t stopped for meditation on the racecourse
From shooting paper Indians they took to fir
ing at n good boy I'm the window of the house
across the way. And for bad end, finally
did they use the harmless postage stamp.
During their quarantine Tonic had a revival Of
passion for stamp collecting. He unearthed his
album and his catalogue. and put the collection
in good order. But there were many gaps still
to be filed. especially in the species known as
watermarked The long and mournfuI contern-
plation of these gaps inspired our hero to par
feet strange invention. He placed bit of
coarse cotton cloth on the floor. laid a stamp
on that. and put one leg of chair on top OF all
He then sat on the chair and wriggled with all
his weight. When the stamp drawn out Il
had on its back an impress that looked fairly
like watermark. TOME was most enthusi-
astic. He treated all sorts of stamps In this

asked. suspiciousy
Ionle wants it." answered Bob, and by this
evasion she made the first step toward unhaP-
plness Not that she was conscious of doing any
wrong. 1t was as natural to shield TONES ac-
lions from his unsympathetic sister as It was
to conceal from Tonic Bellies secret reading Of
love stories.
The manufacture Of watermarks soon took all
TONES attention SO busy was he with his ma
chine that he refused to listen to the delicious
wit of the Artful Dodger. Bob wished the

The Spartanburg Horror.

The wreck and ruin wrought by
the waste of waters in Spartanburg
county last Saturday almost stag
gers belief. At Pacolet and Clifton
FIVE mammoth cotton mills were
swept away almost in the twinkling
of an eye, involving a fearful loss Of
life and destruction of property.
The list of the dead is placed at
sixty-fve and the destruction of
property is conservstively estimated
to be between four and five millions
of dollars. This is the most appal-
ling disaster that has ever fallen
NOON our fair State and the loss of
life and property approximates that
OF the Johnst0wn horror.
Not the least pitiful phase of the
calamity is the fact that nearly ff'
teen thousand mill hands are thrown
cut of employment and are practi-
cally destitute of food and clothing,
their homes and belongings having
been swept away by the flood.
The warm hearts Of Carolinians
have ever been responsive to the ap-
peals of the distressed and it is
gratifying to see the promptitude
with which the people of the State
have given practical form to their
sympathy. 1t is a privilege to con-
tribute to a cause like this and
twice blessed is he who gives
promptly and c~heerfully.

II never can stop itself, passing

Her own and the suns mutual
attraction only curve her path
and just ''let her roll" Every
time she rolls over once another
day is gone, and every time she
completes the great circuit one
more year is counted.
The fact is, perpetual motion
seems TO belong peculiarly TO
Gods universe. Without it. no
stellar order among the heavens
could exist, no Individuality

Conceive unlimited space and
