 "In a minute" the other answered; and turning to Alan Proter, took him by the arm. T suppose you lost over The Dutchman," he said.
 "Yes, I'm broke" answered the boy.
 well, I've won"
 'You betting!" exclaimed Alan, in astonishment.
 "Yes-strange, isn't 1t? But I'm go- ing to put that money of your fathers back"
 The boy said nothing, and Mortimer faRcied that his face flushed guiltily.
 "Yes, can put it back now that Lau- zanne's won," continued Mortimer; "but don't say word to soul about 1t, don't want anybody to know I was bet ting"
 "But what money?" began Alan.
 EI've won thousand dollars on L.au- zanne-"
 Come on, pard," said Old Bill, i'm patiently interrupting them. Lets get our rake off, an den you kin bucL to yer chum after"
 Mortimer yielded to the tattered ones command, for without his guidance he never would be able to find the man that held the money.
 "Ill be back in little while" he said to young Porter; don't go away"
 There was delay over the cashing in; when Mortimer returned to the lawn with eleven hundred dollars in his pocket Alan Porter had gone. He had dreaded that perhaps the boy might do some- thing desperate, fearing discovery of the theft; he had thought even of taking Alan back to Brookfield with him: how ever, he had told him that the moaey would be replaced, the boy would un- derstand that nothing could happen him and would go back, Mortimer felt sure. He spent a short time searching for Alan, but his former fruitless quest had shown him the hopelessness of trying to f1ss& person in that immense throng.
 All Eg once it occurred to him that some reward was due the instigator of his success. The thousand he must keep intact. He had few looG@ dollars in his pocket beyond his originG hundred, quite sufficient to take him back to Brookfeld. Taking the hundred from his pocket and turning to Old Bill, who was still with him, he said: 'T'm going home: I've had enough horse racing for one day; you've dona me great kind-

 "Dere ain't no buts in dis game-it's straight deal, an we've split even. If you'd been a crook, we'll, God knows how we'd a-panned out But you ain't no geezer of dat sort-yer square, an Old Bill wishes you good luck till de robins nest again. Yer goin', eh?

 With light heart Mortimer hastened from Gravesend, not waiting for the other races, and took his way to Brook field. A genuine admiration of buffeted Old Bill filled his mind

 That night Allis wired the joyful tidings to her father. and that she would be home in the morning
 Dr. Rathbone's prophecy as to the proper medication for John Porter stood chance of being fulfilled in one day. Allis' telegram proved that the doctor had understood the pathology of Porter's treatment, for he became as cripple who had touched the gar ment of a magic healer
 1t was thus that Allis found him when she reached Ringwood. Oh, but she was glad; and small wonder. The girl found tears of thankfulness glis- tening in her eyes as ske listened to the praise that was wholly hers, though given in part to the jockey. They had not even heard his name it had not mattered before; and now when her father asked for 1t, she an swered that Mike called him Al some thing. Her father, generous in his salvation, was most solicitous as to a fitting present; 8 thousand dollars. or perhaps two, or even more, if Dixon advised so. What had he promised the lad? But there were so many things to talk over and settle, and laugh about and congratulate each other upon. Good fortune was gen. erous dame. They were all like chill dren in their happiness.
 In the midst of 1t all Dr. Rathbone e4&ne in, and of course, man-like and doctcSsaike, with pretended pompOsi- ty, said: II told you so. What did say? Now Mrs Porter. no more

 After his first burst of aboriginal glee Old Bills joy over the victory of Lau- game took on mtlder form of express sion. A claimed to Mortimer, making a break down the steps to the lawn. On the ground he stopped, his mind working nt fever heat.
 Lets wait till de kids passed de scales: dere's no hurry. Dere won't be many drawin' money over Larcen; he's an outsider"
 They were still waiting when the ! rumor of an objection hoated like an impalpable shadow of evil through the gnclosure. '
 What does it mean?' asked Morti- mer; whats wrong?" ~.
 De push's tryin' to steal de race; de favorite's beat, an it's win, tie or wrangle wit 'em. If they take de race away, from Larcen we don't get de goods, see? Our t'ou's up de spout. Dere he goes, dere he goes; look at de knocker," {" as Langdon came down from the stew ards. ..~s -..~-
 Mortimer's heart sank. It wasn't the money alone that teetered in the bal ance, but the honor of AHis Porter's brother
 He gave sharp cry of astonishment, for going up the steps in front of them was the boy himself, Alan. Presently he came down again, his face looking drawn and perplexed. In his ignorance of everything pertaining to racing Morti- mer feared for an instant the theft of ! the thousand dollars had been discov- cred, and the present inquiry had some thing to do with that. 7. s-,.
 AS the boy came through the little gate Mortimer accosted him. Hello, Alan" he exclaimed, very gently, s whats the trouble?"
 Just a silly mistake" answered Por- ter, weak laugh following his words; sLangdon has claimed that rode .Lau- zanne"
 "Is dat it?" interposed Old Bill; "an' did you tell dem dey was wrong-de stiffs! Dere's Cutt'roat Langdon up again; here he comes back, looking as tough he'd been fired fer splint-de crook!

love at once. we may yet save many thousands more.
 Perhaps the best and the quickest way to alleviate the suffering is through the children of the schools. Most of these children have an intelli- gent love for the birds. and will glad-' ly give up an afternoon, or 8 day, for that matter, to assist in distributing food for their feathered friends. As my own first experience may be of assist. ance to those who desire to try sim- liar experiment, will relate it As soon as knew how serious the condi- uons were, wrote a letter to the To- cal superintendent of schools, asking him to kindly cooperate with me in an effort to feed the birds in, and around his town, by urging the boys in the public and high school to help in distributing food the next afternoon. I requested that all who could bring bird seed, grain, suet, bread or table scraps, or anything else which birds could eat, would do so, and that the others would come provided with bags or baskets to distribute such food as my friends and would have ready for them. The letter was sent by mes sengerl and in two hours received word from the superintendent that 34 students from the high school would be at the school building and ready to ] assist me at half-past two on the fol-l lowing day. On my arrival found the students awaiting me, provided with baskets of broken nuts, barn floor sweepings, and all manner of bird food. The boys were divided into squads of four or five, under the lead ership of one who knew we'll some particular bit of woodland or stretch of open country. There were eight squads, and they marched away ins orderly fashion, each in a different direction, with instructions to coveE about one-eighth of the country imme9 diately surrounding the town. Hachl squad had at least one shovel. and in open places, such as fields and mead ows. good generous spaces were cleared of snow and covered with seed and grain, scraps of meat and the like. Had the food been simply thrown on the surface of the snow it would soon have been buried and inaccessible, but on bare ground in the middle of an otherwise snow-covered field, 1t at. tracted the attention of every passing bird.
 In every squad there was at least one boy who could climb, and the suet, in generous lumps, was tied to the branches of trees, where it was likely to attract the birds, but where it was to attract the birds. 4

ABUSE lll OF TOM WATSON.

We didn't think Tom Watson
was cutting much of a figure in
politics, until we commenced
reading the terrible and personal
abuse of him in the Georgia
daily papers. = Mi1ledgeville
News.
Tut tut, Bro. Vaughan! This
is mere twaddle. Put your finger
on single line of abuse" of
Tom Watson in a Georgia daily
paper and the Advertiser will
set 'em up" There is a vast
difference between telling the
truth land abuse" It is a
noticeable fact that nearly every
paper in Georgia which espous-
ed the cause of William R.
Hearst prior to the democratic
nomination for president is now
rather lukewarm towards Judge
Parker, and is "toadying" Tom
Watson to beat the band, and the
News seems to be galloping
with the Watson worshippers.
Bro. Vaughan's political aspira-
tons, short lived though they
we're, seemed to have left him a
trif1e sore. He will probably
grow older some day, and with
age will come increasing wisdom.
The safety of our homes, and
the supremacy of the Caucasian
race in the south, are incentives
sufficient to cause us to advocate
the election of that able jurist
and statesman, Alton B. Parker,
and to repudicte those republi-
can allies, Tommie Watson and
Tommie Tibbles. Get in line,
Bro. Vaughan, and come out
boldly for Parker. Don't be a
sore head" - Madison Adver-
tiser.
Eth, Vaughan, now don't get
wroth, but take your medicine
like little man. Get right, and
get right, right quick.

educational interests of Georgia
in the past few years. His idea
has been to improve our educa-

And the work he is doing is far
better for Georgia than the mani
pulation of political wires.-Val-

Newport daily independent., 1904-01-25

mended to the opera house next Monday night. This play is now in it's third season and last year played the largest cities only, scoring an immediate success on account of the intensely interest," ing story and the exceptionally high class manner in which it was staged, as regards costumes and scenery and the exception ally strong company of players that gave the performance. The story is on new and novel lines, intensely interesting from start to finish, and while thrilling enough to be melo-dramatic, it still has double comedy vein running through it and hence it really should be called a 'melo- comedy-drama. " The entire production will be offered here in a most elaborate manner and is sure of success.

 STANFORD KILLED.
Run Over By Engine of White River Branch Passenger Friday Near Mt.
 Olive.

As the south bound passenger train neared Mt. Olive Friday evening, says the Batesville Bee, the section gang was discovered on the track only a short distance ahead and before the train could be brought to stop it struck the hand car. All the hands es- capped except Stanford, who fell on the track and was run over by the engine. The deceased was between 30 and 50 years of age. He had a family and lived at Mt. Olive.
