CHAPTER xxxlll.
Scorned.


The door of Barbara's boudoir stood
open. She motioned Lennox in, and
he obeyed, simply because his strength
had failed him. A door of communica-
ton also led to the room they had just
left, but he did not notice 1t, as he
sank down upon couch. He now
knew of the hope which had upheld him
In all this dreary search-kney it by
the hopelessness Of his despal1 while
Barbara watched his anguish with the
exultation of triumph.
At last-at last she was nearing her
goal. She was doing out to Milton
Lennox's heart the suffering he had
meted out to her. And yet-and yet
she loved him-loved him, with des-
ecration of the word, it is true, with
a passion morbid in its intensity, out
scorching, whitening in its heat. His
very pain was pleasure to her. It
seemed to bring him nearer to her-to
level the barriers that had separated
them; she exulted while the mad,
sweet hope she had thought buried for.
ever rose from It's ashes-that he
might yet turn to her.
For many minutes neither spoke;
she gently crossed the room and laid
her hand softly on his bowed head.
Milton, would have spared you II
/ could" she whispered.
Her tone thrilled with pity.
"You would have spared mel" he an
swered hoarsely-"you have fulfilled
your vow. Let me leave this accursed
housed" he cried, starting to his feet
She threw herself upon her knees,
her beautiful arms appraised, clinging
| to him.
Not until you have heard me. she
| said "You shall do me justice. Did
not want to spare you? did not en-
treat you to go away? Oh, Milton, ior-
| get the one rash vow l made long
years ago. and believe that 1t is not
through me that you have suffered
The perfect head dropped low, her
voice quivered with unshed tears; her
attitude was perfection, in its dejec-
tion and despair.
| Full well Milton Lennox knew her
art, yet instinctlvely the strong mans
nature pitied the seeming weakness
Of the woman. He spoke more gently.
II am going awey," he said, Pack to
my native land to try and find forget
fulness. Will you say to Avice that
she might have trusted me-that l
would have given her to this man,
whom, perhaps. have taken from her
forever and that she might have been
spared the knowledge that she had
married a traitor to his friend and to
his trust. Tell her that refused to
believe until-until | saw! But what
am doing-sending a message to her
through yon2 No! will see her-tell
her for myself" starting toward the
door.
you shall not! What was your vow
worth TO me? tell you 1t wouli kill
her. AS yet her reason has not re-
gained its strength. She kneels As YOU
have seen her, praying for his life, per-
haps cursing his murderer"
The words were well chosen. They
stung like so many poisoned darts. II
was true: he had given his word; he
was powerless.

SERIOUS CHARGES.

The Leader publishes today a
communication calling upon Mr..
R. G. Applewhitc, candidate for
sheriff, to explain or deny GER
tain grave charges which are in
circulation about him in connec-
ton with his former incumbency
of the sheritf's Office. So far as
The Leader is advised, Mr.. N. r.
Douglass, who has asked the pub
LEGATION of this article, is not a
partisan of either of the other
candidates for sheriff. His COM
munication is conservative and
fair in spirit, and the matters he
inquiries about are such as every
good citizen of the county might
we'll be concerned to know the
truth or falsity of, before casting
his vote in the coming primary;
and for this reason the publica-
ton is made. The Leader freely
offers it's columns to Mr.. Apple
white to make such explanation
or denial as he may think proper.
In the meantime let our readers
suspend final judgment until he
has had an opportunity to be
heard.

Educational Movement Of the Y.M.c. 4.

The Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION is planning some good
educational work in the way of
night classes.
They will have book keeping,
stenography, electricity, mechani-
cal drawing, grammar, church his
tory and association work.
Teachers will be secured for each
class.
Mr.. NJ. Mccullough, an expe-
rienced teacher, will take charge
of the grammar class; Eugene
Mccormick will teach the me-
chanical drawing class; j. H.
Redding, head book keeper at Nc
Grath's, will probably teach the
bookkeeping class; and the Gen
eral Secretary will teach the
church history and association
work.
Teachers of stenography and
electricity have not been secured;
but will be by next week. This
will be a good opportunity for
the young men of our city to help
themselves in practical knowl-
edge, with very little expense.
These classes will begin Sept.
18th, and close in the spring,
making 6 months term.

THE SHEpIFPS OFFICE.
Continued from fist page.

Applewhite, who had got wind in
some way of what was about to
happen, as the friend of Mccoy,
went to one of the lawyers in the
case and proposed that if Mccoy
was not arrested and all criminal
proceedings against him stopped,
the struggled goods would all be
brought back and duly turned ov-
err to his creditors.
This proposition was rejected
and next morning early, two law
yers, John Sasser, who had
'blowed" on the conspirators,
and the deputy marshal set out
through the country to arrest Nc
Coy and recover the concealed
merchandise.
Under the direction of John
Sasser they visited John Albrit-
toms and a cousin of Sasser's,
where two or three thousand dol
lars worth of the goods were
found in an clubhouse, and then
proceeded to Bogue Chitto, where
it was intended the marshal should
arrest Mccoy. When they got
there they found Sheriff Apple
white on the ground and Mccoy
gone. The inference was that af-
ter he failed to effect a compro-
mise of the criminal proceedings
with the lawyers in Brookhaven,
Mr.. Applewhite took the early
morning train for Bogue Chitto,
warned Mccoy of what was com.
ing and he skipped.
A year ago last Christmas, sc
the story continues, this same
man Mccoy sent to Mr.. Apple.
white from his hiding place some
where, one of the finest and most
costly pistols eyer seen in Lincoln
county. This pistol has beer
exhibited to several persons by
Mr.. Applewhite, whom he told II
was aapresent from Mccoy. The
inference again is that such a
present was sent in acknowledge
ment of the service Mr.. Apple
white rendered in keeping him Out
of the clutches of the deputy mar
shall at Bogue Chitto that morn
ing, and the penitentiary, whose
gates were open before him.
Five years bay agEae passed passed sin since Ct
McGt0y fed. He is still a fugi.
tive from justice; John Sassef has
gone to his long account at the
end of rope for murder; John
A1britton, who figured with him
IN the Mccoy affair, is serving a
five years term in the State peni-
tertiary for another crime, and
Nj. Applewhite, McCoy's inter
mediary, and then intimate friend
of all these men, is candidate
for sheriff to stand between the
good law abiding citizens of Lin
coin county and the criminal
classes.
As these reports relate to Mr..
Applewhite while he was serving
as sheriff before, and ale repeat
ed on the authority of some of the
NEST reputable citizens of the
county, and he is a candidate for
the Office again, l think the peo-
pie have right to know from him
whether there is or is not just
ground for such charges, before
they ale called upon to cast their
votes.
Please publish this in the next
issue of The Leader, so he will
have all needed time to clear the
matter up before the election and
set himself right if there is no
foundation for these reports, for
it would not be fair to spring
them on him when too late to an
swer. I ask him to answer
through The Leader.
