 A man and a woman walked slowly up and down in quiet corner of a city park A little to one side another man, bloated and blear-eyed. crouched in the shadow of clump of bushes. Presently the man and woman stopped and stood facing each other.
 No. John, we must not think oi that. the woman was saying. Tt can never be-"
 ''why can't it be, Ann?' the man ask ed. Why do you say it can never be?' Because 1t is true,' she replied wearily.
 w. why should it be true. Ann' You know love you.'
 She made no reply, and after mo- ment he added. more softly:
 And I know you love me"
 Still she was silent. but her head dropped and a flame of color swept up to her face. if there had been any doubt In his mind there was no reason for 1t to remain there longer.
 My dariingsg he said, gently, you are all. the world to me, and I will not rest until you let me try to make you happy You love me. Why won't you be my wifer''
 She looked up at him appealingly. but there was light of joy in her eyes. q long time she said, in tones low and soft
 You forget. John. You should not say such things. It is wong"
 Wrong to tell you that I love you?'' he cried. Wrong to want you for my own?~
 Yes. You know you have no right"
 But have. When man and wo- man love each other as we love, there Is Ts~ reason why they should not mar " and make each other happy"
 Tn our case there is a reason John" The man shrugged his shoulders lm- patiently.
 You think there is,'' he said, but there Is not. That other--the only one who could come between us--is dead. You knew what we heard. He was killed in a railroad accident"
 The man behind the bushes whistled 50 that Is the report, is it?" he said to himself. Well, it's news to me" Ann was silent for a little while. then she said, slowly:
 T know; but that report may not be true. No one can tell"
 But everybody believes it is true" John urged. There Is no reason to doubt it.r
 T know. she repeated. q believe sti too. But suppose 1t should turn out that ft is not true? Suppose l should 4isten to you. and then that other should come back? Don't you seer"
 Yes; but he will never come, Ann. If he was living you would have heard from him before this"
 T might; but I don't know"
 He walked backward and forward for a minute ar two, then he stopped in front of her

APPEAL TO SONS.
Commander Owen Urges Organization of New Camps.

Commander Owen Urges Organization
 of New Camps.
 The following circular has been is- sued by Commander Thomas M. Owen of the Alabama Division United Con- federate Veterans:
 Montgomery, November 1, 1904. ITO the Sons of Confederate Veterans:
 The United Sons of Confederate Vet erans was organized at Richmond, Va, June 30, 1896, and in its essential fea ture is modelled after the parent or ganization of the Veterans. The ob- jeots of the organization are strictly historical and benevolent. It's endeav- or Is to keep sacred as a splendid herit- age the proud spirit of courage, patri- otism and heroic manhood, which anil mated our fathers in the sixties. It now numbers between four and five hundred camps, which are grouped in Divisions.
 '"The Alabama Division was consti- tuted August 10. 1897, with one camp. and 1t now numbers thirty eight camps. It's fourth annual reunion con- vention will be held in the city of Mobile. November 15 and 16, 1904, at the same time as the reunion of the Alabama Division, United Confederate Veterans. The good people of Mobile have done everything possible to pro- vide a season of great enjoyment, and the indications are favorable for the most successful reunion ever held.
 Although the camps in the Division are generally distributed there are still many localities where no organi- zation exists. There are no camps in the counties of Autauga, Barbour, Blount Chambers, Cherokee Chiffon, Clarke, Clay. Cleburne. Coffee. Coosa, Covington, Dale, DeKalb, Elmore, Fay cite Franklin, Geneva, Hale, Henry. Lee. Limestone, Lowndes, Macon, Ma rengo, Monroe. Perry, St. Clair, Shel- by, Sumter. Talladega, Tallapoosa. Washington, Wilcox and Winston. Surely the Sons of Veterans in these counties are not less patriotic than in others and I most earnestly appeal to them to proceed at once to the forma- tion of camps. Many will doubtless visit Mobile during the reunion, and if so they ought to go as delegates in order that they may participate in the proceedings, the parade, and the many social features of the occasion
 Blanks. forms and necessary in structions will be promptly supplied. Correspondence Is solicited. Mere or ganization will not suffice. charter must be secured. There Is ample time for this prior to the reunion, If prompt action be taken.
 The cooperation of Veterans. Daughters of the Confectionery. and the press Is desired in bringing about the formation of new camps"

THIEF ENTERED A RESIDENCE AND

by its charter to Issue stock to the
amount OF s2oo, 900, having = par value

To interest - many people ~ possi-
BILE, however. the company has decided
TO place large block of stock on the
market 1T one and half cents . share,
which it is believed will enlist the
sympathy and cooperation OF the pub
lie In the enterprise which the COM
pany is endeAvoring to inaugurate
The object in incorporating under the

of being able to sell the stock at less
than one dollar share; the statutes
Of Colorado forbidding the issuance Of
stock having par value of less than
one hundred cents.
The Atlas Company has received
propositions from number OF practi-
cal oil men to take charge Of the bor-

contract will be let in the course Of the
next two or three weeks. The object
Of the company Ia primarily, Of course,
to benefit its s,ockholder, although
there is back Of It strong desire to
promote the material welfare and pro-

A Close Can.

While automobiling on Main street,
near the inte rsection of Cottonwood
avenue, about 9 O'Clock Thursday night
OF last week, Judge Eldred of the coun-
ty court and G. E. Diegel, had a re-
markable escape from serious injury, if
not death, in consequence of = trio OF
horsemen, who were making a race
course Of the street. 1t was beyond the
city limits, and, as there were no cleo
trio lights, neither were able to see the
other, although the automobilists were
able to hear the claster of horses hoofs
on the roadway.
Mr.. Diegel, who was in charge of the
auto, pulled his machine to one side of
the street and stopped. but was not
quick enough to get entirely out of the
way OF the oncsming horsemen, one Of
whom seemed to be unable to control
his mount and 1t attempted to leap over
the automobile. In doing so it caught
one OF it hind feet in the fender and
was thrown with terrific force, break
ing one Of its legs and wounding its
rider by the fall.
The fact that Judge Eldred was in
the rear seat is the only thing that
saved him otherwise he mustl newt
ably have bren killed. Mr.. Diegel was
uninjured, save slight scratch on one
OF his hands.

Alderman Houle Hurt.

While driving along West Main street
about 80 last Monday evening, Alder
man Richard Houle was thrown from
his buggy by runaway horse and re-
ceived painful injuries, although they
are not believed to be Of q permanent
character.
When in the vicinity of Pennington q
restaurant, Mr.. Houle, who was lead
ing horse behind the buggy by hal
ter, was overtaken by an automobile
driven by Col. J. Q. Mcdonald OF Flor
ence, which frightened the animal he
was leading, causing it to leap upon
one OF the wheels Of the buggy, over
turning the vehicle, which resulted in
both horses running away.
In some manner the muscles of Mr..
Houle's back were severely sprained,
rendering him helpless. Bystanders
went to his assistance and conveyance
was called to take him home, q number
Of his frierds accompanying him for
she purpose of carrying him into the
house.
With the exception of . slight wound
upon the head there were no bruises or
contusions on his body, and the attend.
ing physician was unable to locate the
seat of injury. Although his wounds
are Internal, they are not thought 10
be sufficiently serious to occasion any

tinguished attentions from a number
of his friends last Thursday night in
honor Of his birthday anniversary Mr..

half a score or more other people, were
invited to spend the evening at the
residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. A.
Baker and family. When the company
had assembled, Frank P. Smith arose
and in brief, but facetious address,
stated that as it was Mr.. Riggs BIRTH
day it had occurred to him to bring
along little token to present to him
in commemoration of the occasion,
intimating that perhaps, others of the
guests had done likewise. At this
juncture Mr.. Smith handed Mr.. Biggs
. jack knife which he asserted would
be useful thing to have about him.
Other guests now came forward and
presented Mr. Biggs with all sorts of
absurd things w. E. Galley ofer;ng him
. fiat-crowned Derby hat Of the vint-
age of ls49 or whereabouts, which, when
placed upon the head, gave the wearer
the appearance Of one Of It. Barnum's
high priced clowns. The guests had
been apprised that Mr.. Biggs was con-
templating . visit to the Worlds Fair
and that useful presents for such q
trip would be appreciated, and, as a
result, they came loaded with all sorts
of grotesque things which they pre-
sented to him as birthday offering.
Fun was rampant and none seemed to
enjoy it more than Mr.. Biggs. Deli
cious refreshments were served.
