Alabama Miners and Operators.

advance of two and one-hali cents a

at $I2 per ton as a minimum instead OF

the hurrying throng as 1t pushed itself
toward the gates of the city's only
breathing spot.
Long before all had entered who de-
sired to do so the park was crowded to
It's utmost, and thousands were breath
lessly watching the most gorgeous dis
play of fireworks they had ever seen.
When the attention of the great
throng was most keenly rlveted there
shot up into the heavens magnificent
United States flag, across which in
burning letters of red were written
the words: "Hurrah for the glorious
Fourth" For a moment deathlcss
silence swept the vast audience; then
there burst from the throats Of thou
sands of men, women and children,
three cheers for the glorious Fourth.
Leaning against one of the massive
oaks of the park stood John Elliott, Il
quiet but apparently well pleased spec
tator of the scene.
In his hand he held sheet of paper
upon which were written the words:
| "Privilegc granted John Elliott to give
a display of fireworks tonight at public
park. Signed, Lewis Thompson,
| Mayor"
! Elliott moved few steps away from
the tree and drew from his pocket an
other paper which he proceeded to
eagerly sean. A smile of triumph
rested on his face. Across this paper
were written the words. Wharfage H.
ccnsc."
The flag shot into the heavens. FL
liott returned the paper to his pocket
and was once more quiet observer Of
the nc--The Sunny South.

beyond recovery. Her usually stern
gray eyes were quite soft enough now,
indeed, from out their depths sprang
Il surprising tenderness and pity.
"llandsomc" rather than "swrct'
was the description usually given her
mouth; but now its firm lines were all
melted. and the pathetic quiver of hcr
lower lip. as she slowly raised ana
kissed her lovers letter. cast around
its graceful curves an expression Of
wondrouS sweetness.
As she sat there, allowing many a
tear to gain its freedom. she recalled
how often he lad urged an early mar
riagr, but she had clung to her freedom
and coolly and .,crsiStcntly insisted on
delay until their engagement time had
dragged itself out into years. And now
well, possible she chidch herself too
much. We usually do when the black
cloud of calamity hangs its shadow
around us.
But not long did she sit br0oding-
that was not her nature. When the
time for action came she was always
ready for it, Going over TO her desk
she sat down and for an hour poured
out her hearts sympathy, sorrow and
love. Told him shc Spurncd his prof
fered relcnsc--b begged for just this one
year of being truly all his own.
Had John Elliott seen her now rs she
| was, all ablazc with the trucst. ten
dercst and noblcst emotions. he would
hardly have recognized the girl he had
loved so long. No more was she cold,
Indifferent naughty. No: she was n
new creature, fired and irresistibly
moved by an overwhelming passion.
Her letter sealed, it was placed In the
hands Of messenger with an urgent
appeal for haste.
She went out under the trees and
let the hot air fan her cheeks and
waited.
! Standing at one of the club house
windows, John Elliott was looking
down at the surging crowd on the
street below. For n brief space Of time
| the motley throng would hold his nt-
! tcntion and then his mind would revert
back to the phrase, what Is the us" TO
live the year," But John Elliott was
no coward: he refused to admit that he
feared year OF suffering, 50 each time
he drove the thought away.
AS he stood thus, with his thoughts
shifting from one thing to another,
there came to him this: "Why not
leave this place at once? Go to new
scenes; mingle with different people;
live Il new life for this next twelve
months" He rolled the thought over
and over in his mind; it was Ike q
sweet mOrsel.
Fired with this idea, he became en-
thuslastic. He would forget the past
be thankful for the year with its mani
fold opportunities, become in reality Il
new creature with year as the spar
| of its life.
