neck began to tell and to bring their faces
closer together.
Then with a snap as vicious as dogs the
mates teeth closed ON Partons hair, and
as Parton jerked his head upward a great
sheaf of it was literally pulled from his
head.
The spirit of the animal infuriated broke
Loose in Parton, and once, twice, three times
he struck full, hard fist blows on the corner
of the mates jaw. Gradually the man S
hold relaxed, his eyes turned upward and
he went limp there on the floor.
Parton knew exactly what had happened
to him, and was neither frightened by the
CHASTITY look wAich the mates face assumed
nor sorry for the knockout blows which had
put it there. He was filled with the exulta
ton of an animal which has won a fight,
and for a moment looked down at his foe
with real and aboriginal satisfaction in his
rapidly beating heart.
Then he looSened his hold. rolled the man
about bit to be sure that his unconscious
ness was real and not assumed, and rose.
On the table in the cabin always stood a

those great silver-plated affairs which

started for it, but it was not in its usual

at this. when a calm voice said:

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
PINEHURST, N c., January 2S, 1904
From the standpoint of arrivals the mast
week has been the most notable of the sea-
son, for visitors have crowded in by every
train. and at this early date the Harvard
and Berkshire are finding it difficult to pro-
vide for all who come. The Holly Inn is
filling very rapidly, and the Carolina is al
ready entertaining nearly one hundred and
fifty guests, the largest opening record in
the history of the house.
The winters social pleasures at the Caro-
lima We're pleasantly begun Saturday even
ing with the usual house warming hop,
which was well attended by many guests Of
the village. The event inaugurates the
usual series of germans and entertainments
which are always a leading factor of LIE
here.
A merry feature of the week was Dis
guise Party at the Berkshire, at which the
participants played hearts in masquerade
costume. Prizes were given for the best
DISCUSSES and also for the best score al
cards. Many unique and ludicrous cos
tunes were seen. The weekly card parties
at the various hotels were well attended.
Weekly golf, tennis and trap shooting
events are attracting those who have sport
ing tendencies, and horse back riding is
being much enjoyed. The sportsmen are
now finding the best quail shooting of the
year on the Pinehurst preserves.
Among the guests at the Carolina are
Rev. and Mrs. T. M. Prescott and Miss
Margaret Prescott of Washington who
come for the winter and their fourth sea-
son. The Rev. Mr.. Prescott is an all-around
sportsman and devotee of golf and shoot
ing.
Another clerical sportsman from. WASH
ington is Rev. G. b. Harrington, who Is
spending his second season at the Harvard.
Father Harrington, he is known here,
is a general favorite.
Mrs. S. V. Hayden of Washington Is at
the Cedars with her mother, Mrs. NJ. E.
Fiffeld, for the winter.

The mate shrunk away from those eyes

The mate shrunk away from those eyes
and that firm, hard clean cut face as II u
had been something terrible TO look upon.
He was pale to ghastliness, his breath came
to him In long, shuddering gasps, which Mt
orally whistled between his teeth ana Die"
bubbles of bloody foam upon his lips:
With the first glimpse of Partons lace MS
pallor became like that of dead man, ana,
in sheer physical fright, he let his head fall
back on the arm of the very man he was
afraid of, and for a second went Whoiiy
limp again. After he revived ne Kept ms
eyes shut. His fear of Partons race
amounted to abject and unreason1ng terror.
the mate shuddered and shrank from him
as if that grip which had been upon ms
throat were likely to tighten there again,
and as if those blows of the hard, mercl-
less hammer-like fist were again ABOUT 10
rain upon his quivering face.
DON'T Oh, don'tn' he said weakly
Don't hit me again, Mr.. Carter. F'or'God
sake, don't hit me again. You'll Kill me
All the threat had gone out OF IT. out
if YOU hit me again. Don't! Don t.!
Parton was really shocked at this eX-
hibition of the fear, which no person but
the vanquished strong man can snow Inc
timdity of the physically weak or cow
ardly is much less impressive than the
pulsatng, shrinking terror of defeated
strength.
- Il shall not strike you again, said Far
ton. II shall not strike you again Let
me help you up. You must not lie there
Tie mate struggled 10 MS Ieet uuStSetuliS !,
and, hanging to the side of the table. pulled
himself along until he reached chair, into
which he sank with the limp, crushed lassi-
tude of the utterly exhausted He lald
his arms out on the table before him and
his head dropped to them as if the weight
of it were much greater than his shoulders
could support. For ten minutes he did
not move, except when he occasionally
raised a terror-s tricken face to gaze fear
fully at Parton.
Parton, seeing how complete his victory
had been, and feeling half ashamed of 1t, as
any man of mind must feel of purely
physical triumph. moved away from him
and stood near the door leading to the
conpanionway, ready at once to help the
mate and to prevent any one from de-
scenCiing to the cabin, where they might
see him while he was in this pitiable state.
He saw with deep worry as to what its
effect might be upon the men, that the
mates face was swelling rapidly, and was
already miSshapen as to- be scarcely
recogniza BILE. His own was bruised and
smarting. and there was little trichle of
blood from above his forehead where the
mates teeth had taken the hair out; but
he knew that he showed no such punish
ment the mate showed.

1t is not pretty sight to see man slowly
wake up after having had a knockout blow.
Parton kneeled at the mates side and bath
ed his head with a towel wet in the pitcher
as he first began to move and, when intelli-
gence filtered slowly into his eyes, the first
thing that they saw was Parton's face.
There was no anger in their gaze, but
there was fright.

The dispatches received from the obserya-

a complicated affair to the uninitiated al

THE SUPREME COURT PASSES
ON RIGHT TO KEEP ALLOW
ANCEs FOR WORK.
OUT OF REGULAR DUTIES
Judge Hadley Renders an Opinion in
Case From Dearborn
County.

Huntington, Ind, Jan. 9.-The su-
preme court today held that when
county clerk is required to do ex-
traordinary work outside Of his Off
cial duties, for which the board of
commissioners makes him an allow
ance, this allowance need not be paid
into the county treasury, but belongs
to the clerk. A judgment holding
that the clerk of Dearborn county
was not liable on his bond for $16O
paid him by the county for copying
"complete record' that had fallen
to pieces, was affirmed. Judge Had
ley said:
cit is clear that the legislature in
fixing the just and reasonable salary
of the several county officers had in
mind and based the amount on salary
allowed upon the current ordinary
duties required Of the officers. In the
very nature of things the assembly
could not and we viii not assume
that it attempted to pass a fair and
Just salary law to cover all extraor-
dinary and unexpected happenings
that shall require the expenditure of
much money and labor to save the
county from serious loss an which
could not have been within the reas-
enable contemplation of the legisla-
ture nor of the officer when he ac-
cepted the office"
The validity Of MANY allowances to
officers of Marion and other counties
for special services in restoring rec
ords and doing other extraordinary
work has been attacked by suits that
are now pending.

WAYsIDE TALES.

The January number of Wayside
Tales contains more pages of reading
matter than any current magazine,
and the list of famous names in its
table of contents is calculated to con-
vince the most skeptical of the place
the magazine has won for itself in
the magazine world. Although it is
primarily short story monthly, a
large number of timely and interest
ing articles are contributed by the
leading thinkers Of the day, and
there is that much-alive-ness and up
to-date-ness about the periodical
which savors Of the breezy and orig
inal west.

is estimated at 2,244, ,25O,0OO bushels,
worth nearly 1858, 100000. Last
years crop was 7O,OOO,OOO bushels in
excess of 1908. and the value of the
product was $1,O17. 100000. Cotton
probably comes next. IF this year s
yield aggregates 1O,5O0,OOO bales, the
value of the crop ought to be at least
$3.50 900, 900 to $6OO,O00,000. The
hay crop, not usually considered when
our principal agricultural commodit
les are mentioned, is valued at 1885,
$4,000, and spring and winter wheat
are valued approximately at $443,-
100000. The real products Of Ameri-
can farms are probably worth $4,-
100000.
While this years production shows
no startling increase in value, aside
from the extraordinary jump in the
price of cotton, the fact may be sci
down that the American farmer is q
prosperous individual, says the Fl
nancier.
What is more important, in the
present instance, is the fact that
industries must thrive when crops are
bounteous and command good prices

A HARRISON
MONUMENT
SENATOR FAIRBANKS TO IN
TRoDUCE A JOINT RESo-
LUTON
FOR HARRISON STATUE
To be Placed on Federal Building
Site in Indianapolis - The
Reason For Resolution.

Washington, JAN 9.-Senator Fafr-
banks has prepared and will intro
duee in the senate early next week a
joint resolution permitting the con-
struction Of the proposed statute of
Benjamin Harrison on the federal
building site in Indianapolis. While
at home during the holidays, Senate
Fairbanks had a conference with the
directors of the Memorial association,
at which the question of a location
was thoroughly canvassed. 1t was
agreed that the federal site was the
proper one for the Harrison statute.
1t is understood that objection was
made to accept permission from the
government in the form of a revoc-
able license as was proposed by tt
secretary of the treasury. A decis-
ion was reached that it would be bet
ter to have congress authorize the
placing of the statue on the govern
ment land, and accordingly Senator
Fairbanks will introduce a joint reso-
luton for the purpose. This measure
will be approved by the treasury de
| partment.

BROS. COMPANY LAST
NIGHT.
NOT A THING MISSING
The Back Door Key Gone-The Mat
ter Surrounded by Mystery.
NOT A THING MISSING

Last evening, as usual, the gas was
left burning in the office Of Mather
Bros. company, on north G street,
and, when the policeman who patrols
that beat came along, the light was
out and the room dark. The police
man carries a key to the Office for
convenience, so that in case of emer-
gency he may have ready access to
the telephone. When he saw the
light was ont, he went into the Office,
where he found window light had
been broken near the lock. It is
supposed the window was raised and
some one entered, although nothing
seems to have been disturbed. The
only evidence that some one entered
the room IS that the back door was
unlocked and again locked from the
outside and the key taken.
Mr.. d. L. Mather said he supposed
some person got in for the purpose of
robbery, and, in some manner, was
frightened away.
