A semblance of a smile curved his lips

Then he arose and, stalking over to

trousers pockets.

the matter plainly, l fear that you are

you forget this little girl and think
Of something else for while"
The e9ted-looking object sat up
straight. A flush came to John Math-

from the table
Forget her. Bobbs" he replied. for

You know what she was to me be-

Bobbs
II know that retorted Mathews
quickly. as If he had been anticipating
the remark. II am not fool, / see
things as they are, not as l would have
them be. l shall probably never be
able to support her as l would wish.
That. is why / resigned her so willing

Mathews hesitated.

But you don't intend to marry her.

You're simply toying with her as a

her away from me. you've been lavish
ing favors upon her, you've won her
affection and now you've taken her
here as your stenographer, although
she knows no more of stenography

merely means of taking up more of

/ Mathews eyes now flashed with the
fire of indignation; Bobbs looked
amused
"Injustice!" he replied. Injustice.
What sore of bosh are you trying to

doing this little girl no injustice by

good time. Why shouldn't she have a

But, Bobbs." insisted Mathews, Sc

The severe hail storm which passed
over Coffee County week ago de-
vastated the crops and has left the
people of wide area in destitute cir
cumstances
An appeal for aid. sent out by the
Mayor of Enterprise and citizens re-
lief committee, has already met with
response from other sections of Ala
bama. Montgomery Is the closest city
to these orm-stricken people. and t.
the citizens of Montgomery they have
appealed directly.
]. W. Malone, Assistant Cashier OF
the First National Bank of Enterprise
and Secretary and Treasurer of the Re-
lief Committee. writing to The Adver-
tiser, says strangers who have passed
through the storm stricken district
have responded cheerfully to the APP
peal for help.
Mr.. Malone sent The Advertiser two
photographs Of fields of growing cot
ton and corn which were destroyed en-
tirely. 1t was the purpose OF The Al
vertiser to reproduce these photo
graphs. but the pictures are so crude
that 1t Is impossible to make an en-
craving from them. They give an ex-
cellent idea, however, of the ravages
of the storm
The people In this district" Mr.. Ma
lone writes, ARE in great need of help
and while we are doing all that we car
for them. we would he glad II you
would assist us We assure you that
the case is urgent. and all funds col
lected will go to a worthy cause.
Most of the persons whose crops
were ruined by the storm were renters
| and the least able to recover from the
disaster.
The Mayor Of Enterprise. after care
| full investigation of the situation. has
estimated that the loss to small farm
ers in Coffee County by the storm will
reach $4,000.

ports of the damage by the hail
storm between here and Enter

tiser and published by county papers,
were not exaggerated: indeed 1t would
have been hard to exaggerate them.
Yesterday, week after the hail fell.
there were large drifts of hail report
ed in several places which bid fair to
remain unmelted for a week longer.
There is little doubt of the damage on
many farms ranging from 95 to 100
per cent. on all crops.
Several hundred dollars was to-day
raised by a committee of Elbians for
the relief of the destitute. Enterprise.
in whose trade territory practically all
the damage was done. has raised con-
siderable sum for relief work Kind
hearted persons everywhere who are
so disposed may send contributions to
