Rcavcs spool and bobbn factory this
morning. Wilson wax standing on Il

whirled around tho shafting, and in.
stead OF dying on tho pulley and shaft
ing it got caught about Wilson and
bound him to tho shafting. Tho shaft
ing was only about twelve inches from
the ceiling OF the house, and Wilson was
whirled around with such rapdity, strk-
ing the ceiling at every turn of the
swiftly moving shafting, that both his
legs and arms were broken and torn in
various places, and the bones of his body
were crushed. The betting had to be
cut to pieces before his body could be
released.
Wilson came to Toccoa about two
weeks ago from Atlanta, where he is
said TO have bocn employed at the South.

Midsummer Day Festival.

Midsummer day, or st. John the
Baptists day, is a festival of much
importance among the Masur peasant
girls in East Prussia. On this day
they each make a wreath, and each
in turn tries to throw her wreath SO
as to lodge it on fruit tree. A girl
must keep on throwing until her
wreath stays in the branches and the
number of attempts is supposed 10 In.
dicate the number of years she will
have to wait to get married. When
the girls are thus engaged the young
men of the village stand around chat
fing them when they miss. The girl
who lands her wreath at the first at.
tempt is vehemently applauded. The
Masurs are Poles who live in that
part of Prussia which was once part
of Poland.

Wild Flowers.

Scarce known by name. they pie the
ground
With motley colors. starry forms.
In them the sunset skies are found
That follow after storms;
And blurs OF crimson. blue and gold,
Their graceful chalices unfold.
While mid the dead leaves pile and
pent
Humbly they live and die content.
Huge oaks above them lift their heads
And drop the acorn shed the leaf,
The harvest field far round them sheds
Plenty in many a sheaf.
And they, half fragrant. brighten earth.
Low in the shadows where there's dearth
OF pain or pleasure. love or life.
Far from the worlds mad. ceaseless
strife.
They speak no message, act no part.
They have no works to show;
Deep hidden here they touch no heart,
And do not ask to know;
Yet II one meet the eye of man
1t all unfolds the Master plan
The-Power that painted this fair
bloom,
For man can have no futile doom.

Birds Lived Long in Captivity.

After seventy-fve years of captiv-
ity, female eagle owl has Just died
in an aviary in England. Brought
from Norway in 1929. this bird within
the last thirty years has reared no
less than ninety young. Although the
eagle owl is reputed to live to a great
age, there appear to be but few re-
corded instances where the age could
be definitely ascertained. A golden
eagle which died at Vienna in 1719
was known to have been captured 104
years previously. and a falcon. of
what species is not recorded. is said
to have attained an age Of 162 years.
A white-headed vulture. taken in 1906
died in the geological gardens at
Vienna in 1924. thus living 11S years
in captivity.

CHAPTER VII.
A. the Norns Decree.

It was a long way to the Kings
fire, but at last it lay before her; be-
fore and below her, for it had been
built in depression Of the little open.
The last charred log had fallen apart,
spreading swarm of golden glow
worms over the black earth, but there
was still enough light to reveal a ring
Of muffied forms sprawling around
the sloping sides Of the hollow, with
their feet toward the fire and their
heads lost in darkness. Pausing in
the tree-shadow. the girl thrilled with
sudden hope. Since their faces were
all hidden, how was she to distinguish
her victim?
At that moment, the warrior d.
rectly in front of her stirred in his
sleep and flung a jeweled hand over
his face. Those broad gold rings
with the green stones that sparkled
like serpents' eyes as they caught the
light! They were fixed indelibly in
her memory. for she had seen them
on the rapacious hand that had seized
upon her while it was still red with
her fathers blood. Suddenly, in the
Id6S lAdI TOSS III ueT dI LIE TcCOlitC-
ton, she found determination for the
deed.
There was no time to lose, she told
herself feverishly, and moved forward
with snake-like stiffness. Between
the sheltering arm and the neck of
the steel shirt there was space of
naked throat. Setting her teeth, she
raised her knife and struck down at
it with strong hand.
The point never reached its mark.
For an instant she could not tell what
had happened. Fingers closed like
iron bands around her wrist, pulling
her backwards so that the pain of her
twisted wound wrung cry from her
lips. They were not Norman's fingers,
yet he also was stirring; while dart
ing flashes from the dusk about them
told that the other sleepers were draw
ing their weapons. Then some one
threw a branchful of dead leaves up
on the fire.
The fame that flared up showed her
arm to be in the grasp of the Lord
of Ivarsdale.
You mad young one!" he gasped.
as he wrenched the blade from her
hold.
(To be continued.)
Gilpin observer., 1904-08-04

tried to be brave, but I am really .
woman; it is not possible for me to
have mans heart"
The grinning shadows mouthed at
her. you have not dared to be a
woman" they mocked. you have
not dared to be a woman, so you must
dare to be a man."
A night wind shuddered through
the trees, and the lowering shades
seemed to hiss in her ear.
Coward! Traitor! Nithing! Do
you not get afraid that you will ex-
perience the wrath of the dead?
Listen! Is that the wind rustling
the leaves? Or is it"
A gasp burst from the white lips,
and the die was cast. While the cold
drops started on her pain-racked body,
she dragged herself to her knees and
fumbled with trembling hands about
her belt. For an instant, something
like a .moonbeam glimmered amid the
shadow; then her lips closed convul-
sively upon the steel. Tipping for
ward upon her hands, she tested eau
tiously the strength of her wounded
leg, smothering groans of pain that
seemed to tear her throat in the swal-
lowing. Inch by inch, she crawled
steadily toward the Pickering light.

but thames have resorted thither-
men whom the Redeless took from
ploughing his fields to gild with no.
bility. Is 1t likely that they will op-
pose the hand that can strip of their
gilding?"
It appeared that the young man
could find no answer to that, for he
made none.
"At least once, my lord, Ethelred's
wilfulness has shown in his son, when
he set aside the Kings command to
take possession Of Sigeferth's widow
and her estates. And I think 1t was
Ethelred's temper that moved him to
spend an energy, much better directed
against the Pagans. in laying waste
two of his own shires. Remember
what happened when your father
raised himself against Ethelred."
Restive under the restraining hand,
the young noble faced him desperate
ly. "Morcard, in Gods name, what
would you have me do? l will not
bend to it, nor would you wish me to.
Or sooner or later"
Let it be later, lord. After you
have had time to marshal your men

After while, the Etheling yielded
and turned aside. Let 1t be as you
have said-though l cannot believe
yet that it will happen" Coming back
