CHAPTER XVI.

We found road, which Liz directed
as to, and which She assured US iran
plum est foh bout ten mile" Along
this we fairly ran, holding each others
hands to keep from stumbling. Where
the road turned we left it, and, trusting
TO luck, took To the woods and fenceless
aelds.
Now and then we saw camp-fires to
the right ,snd left, but we avoided them,
tor we dared not run the risk Of An in
vestigation.
1t was near daylight, and we must
have Travelled fully forty miles from
our last stopping-place. when from the
,rcst OF what was a considerable eleva-
tion for that region we saw q campfire
beneath us. II was NO near that we
,ould see men in long overcoats grouped
about the fire, with their rifles stacked
within reach.
This seemed to be . reserve picket
post. The men had built Il Q fire among
the branches Of lar~e tree that had
been uprooted by the wind. Keeping in
the shadow Of the great mass Of earth
still clinring to the roots, We made our
way to the tree.
''Stay here and I'll see if can learn
who they arc" said Howard. and before
coul ato9 i'm he had left r7e.
lie ccspt along the trunk. but he had
not gone far before stick broke undcr
him. l saw the men Sing their rides,
and heard the command: "iialt. Who
goes th1re?'
Don't Gre; am a Yanlyee.- called
put Howard, as he rose to his feet and
advanced towards the IRE.
I'VE belong to the Twentv-rirst Vir-
yinia, and are cut scarchinr for you

Howard's question. Ay first impulse
was to run. but with a fesh at the

and roar q LAUGHTER.
Il am Sorry you didn't make it. -cn-

GER in command OF tn post.
He made rs sit by the fire and one OF
his men brought us some bread and
bacon, but our appotitos were conc.
During the hour preceding da-li~ht
Howard Scott's pale face took a the
age of many years. but the li~ht in the
fine. brave eyes did not flicker for an in
St ut.
With the first light Of dav our guards
formed about us: We were facca towards
the west. and the return m h - Libby
began. Now we realized. for the first
time how cold and oak wa were. and
how swollen and bli, tered were our feet
We climbed the slope from which we
had first seen the campfire. and OF the
instant with cries of surprise and alarm.
our guards broke away from US and iled
through the wood.

THE VAIUE OF TT

The strike of the coal miners has been in progress for three quarters of a year, and within that same period Birmingham has been singularly prosperous-not, of course, on account of the strike, but in spite of it. The volume of trade has ex- banded, and Birmingham merchants today are carrying larger stocks and serving larger number of patrons than ever be- fore In the history of the city. Indus trial development has proceeded steadily and intensively. The city has grown in population, and values of property have increased. Progress and growth have marked every interest, including those di- rectly affected by the strike. The Sloss- Sheffield company has declared a divi- dend on its common stock, and the Ten nessee company has resumed the payment oI dividends on it's common, in addition to developing its steel t1isin&ss and mak- ing permanent Improvements. In fact, but for paragraph in the papers now and then the public would scarcely re- member that the strike is still on.
 It is not the intention to Iaud the strike in itself as beneficent agent-it is truly deplorable-but the manner in which the Birmingham district and the city partieu- larly have discounted the effects of this nine months cessation of work in one of the most important of the industries IS nothing else than amazing. five years ago the strike would have paralyzed in- drstry, trade and all forms of develop ment. Within that comparatively brief

WHERE rHE oPPoRrI1NIrY Is

WHERE THE OPPORTUNITY IS
 The investment of money in Birming- ham real estate is something of a prob lem-that Is, as far as location 5s con cerned Real estate in any portion of the city Is certain to yield returns to the in- vestor--it never fails to do that in any growing city
 But there are always investors who want to put their money where 1t will reap the largest prVZ in a reasonable time. Centrally located business property does not appeal to them, for they think that the price of that property is already too high On this point REALTY disa-. grees with hem, for 1t believes that the prices of all kinds of Birmingham real estate are lower than they will ever be again. At the same time 1t comedies that central business property does not offer all the opportunities which an investor might expect. The question which natu- rally suggests itself. where, then, are these opportunities to be fad? The an- swer Is in property which Is outside of the present trade area. That area has ex- banded wonderfully in the past few years, and the advance in the price of real es- tate included within the expansion has been extraordinary. One instance may be cited. A certain grocery house paid $450O for the building in which 1t was doing business and (of course) the lot upon which 1t stood. T9e members of the firm at that time thought they were paying too much for the property, but certain considerations urged them to 1t. Within

THE WATER QUESTION.


 Enthusiastic movements invariably have a certain reactionary tendency. REALTY would not speak in disparagement of the plan to provide the Birmingham district with larger supply of water, but it would point out that some of the state ments made in connection with this plan may create an erroneous impression abroad as to the present supply of water.
 It Is fact that the Birmingham Water Works Company can supply the city, sub urbs and industries with all the water and filtered water-that they need at pres ent and will need for some time to come Last summer, which was remarkable .vv its prolonged drought, the water company had in it's reservoirs a greater supply than was needed, notwithstanding the indus tries at Ensley, on account of the failure of Village creek, were drawing heavily upon that supply.
 It, has been urged that the price which the water companies charge industries is excessive. In reply the company states that this price is practically the same as that charged tte industries of Chatta- nooga, where the source of supply is the Tennessee river, which flows by the city And this is followed by the more remark able statement thas nearly an of the in dustries of Chattanooga, including those located on the river. find II cheaper to buy water from the company than to pump It themselves.
 By all means let us get as much water into the Birmingham district as possible but while this is bslng done-and 1t will take time-let us not frighten away indus tries by creating the impression that they cannot get chance to use the supply of water already put here by nature or that the water company will take all their profits in case they buy water from 1t.

INSPIRING.

INSPIRING.
 A gentleman identified with one of the leading industries of this district ex- presses the opinion that If the merger of the great coal and irsS corporations of the Birmingham district is effected, one of the results will be an increase of the population of this city by at least one hundred thousand This influx will be composed of the highest class of labor, men whose skill and thrift have mNie Pittsburg one of the richest cities in tfss world They will come to work in the steel mills and steel-using industries which will spring up when the great con solidation Is effected.
 Indications are now that the merger will be effected on a much sounder and more satisfactory basis than intended by tn original projectors. But if it should fa.- through altogether, the development of Birmingham will not be retarded. Steel mills will be built by the corporations all the same The success of the manufac- ture of steel bN the basic open hearth process in this district has been triumph, antly demonstrated, and high authorities al predicting that Birmingham is to be- come the worlds center for the manufac- ture of this kind of steel, which is so rap idly displacing the Bess emer product. Natural conditions warrant this prophecy. The basic ores are fJhre in great abun- dance. Materials to be us>d in thyir working are side by side with them. The process of manufacture on a paying basis has been thoroughly worked out, and every feature of the problem has been practically solved.
 Meanwhile the wholesale and retail trade of the city Is expanding over Ala bama and other states. Bank deposits are showing a phenomenal increase, and Bir- mingham is rapidly coming to be regarded as the financial center between Louisville and New Orleans. In every line of busi- ness and industry. improvement and devel- opment are 10 be noted These conditions are truly inspiring; and the best feature of them all Is the civic pride which they

few years that property has enhanced to the value of S100,000, and the rentals of the building will enable the owners to live in comfort, not to say affluence, for the remainder of their lives.
 Other instances might be cited at length, perhaps not so dazzling, but just as con vincing.
 The trade area is expanding in several directions and hence the opportunities are multiplied for the investor. With him it is not a question of luck but of Judgment and insight; and he should seek the advice of reputable real estate men, those who are thoroughly familiar with the city and the possibilities of it's growth.

IN 1OR last announcement in these col umns we stated that our proposition was exceptional in that we did not care to have large investors, but preferred purchasers of small amounts. Tn some instances we have been obliged to re- fuse offers which exceeded the amount we desire to sell to any one individual
 We still insist on confining our trans actions to the small investor, and if you wish to make 30 per cent on your money. let us hear from you. Remember that every profit-sharing certificate is- t. sued by us is protected by a 20-year per cent gold bond deposited with a large trust company of New York. In any case your. principal with F per cent interest is protected and besides that you share in the net profits which will an ount to 30 per cent or more. If you have a few dollars idle or in the bank you cannot afford to overlook this op- portunity. It is only once in a life time that one gets a chance to profit by an investment like this.
