had strengthened 1t. and careful train ing under the best of teachers had de- veioped it and had taught Pableta to use her gift wisely. And tonight Pab- leta was to make her debut. Her mother was far more excited over the event than was Pableta, for the girl had grown up strong and healthy while the mother was old before her time.
 The papers had been full of the an- nouncement of the poung singers de- but. and far away in his Southern home Pableta's father had read of his little daughter and the future predicted for her. Dick Morley had married again and he had other children. He had seldom thought of his oldest child whom he had never seen, but as he read of the girl whom already the crit ics praised. there came to him the thought that he wold go to New York and would see her make her debut Then he would bring her home with him. The years had been years of plenty for him and he was wealthy. He could give her whatever her heart de- sired. Of the mother and her share in the childs life he did not stop to think
 He came to the little fiat to see Pab- leta and the mothers heart was sick with fear. Just before she went upon the stage to sing on the night of her first appearance, he came to the dress ing room. .Pableta." her mother was pleading. after you have sung for the audience. if they call you back, as know they will, will you sing a little song for me?

 But I would have to give up my mother" the girl hesitated.
 You can visit her often," her father said eagerly. "Of course you cannot live with her. It would not be pleas ant for any of us. I know how much she has done for you. but 1t Is my turn now"
 Pableta looked from one to the other. Tn the little mothers eyes the tears were swimming, but 1t was not for her to say the word that would influence her child's decision. Pableta must choose for herself It was years of de- votion set against the promise of a fu- ture and the choice lay with the child.
 Dick Morley and his divorced wife stood side by side in the wings when the girl went on the stage. Pableta had never sung more sweetly and the mother listened to the exquisite voice with every sense alert as though she

Escambia County Farmers are Pessim-
 istic as to Crops.
 Brewton, Aug. 20.--fSpeciaL )-Ex- cessive rains continue almost daily in Escambia County, and the cotton crop is being rapidly ruined. Farmers say it has now been damaged at least 50 per cent and if the rains continue much longer 1t will be almost q total failure in some places.

TURNED OVER
WRECK ON SOUTHERN ROAD NEAR
 DEMOPOLIs.
Conductor Land of Selma Was Pain- fully Injured and Several Pas- senRers Were Slightly Hurt.
 Rails Had Spread.

Selma, Aug. 20.-(special )-The Me ridian passenger train, which left here this morning at 10:45 o'clock. happened to quite a serious accident just the other side of Demopolis just before the Tombigbee River was reached.
 The accident was probably caused by the spreading of the rails and every car of the train was turned over, the bag gage car being turned on its back. The escape of the passengers was miracu- lous and although the train had a good list of them only few received bruises and scratches which did not amount to much. Conductor Frank Land of this city, who was the con- ductor on the train probably received the most serious injuries He received a number of bruises about the body and head and had his back wrenched.
 Quarantine onHcer Clinton Howard of this city also received a number of bruises around the head and body, but his injuries are in no way considered serious.
 A negro whose name could not be learned here and who lives in Demopo- lis Is said to have had a leg broken and to have been otherwise injured. The rest of the passengers escaped with a few bruises and scratches and were not hurt badly enough to receive surg ical attention. The wreck occurred about 1:30 o'clock and as soon thereaf- ter as a wrecker could be fitted out it was sent to the scene of the wreck with the road surgeon.
 The special came back to Selma about : o'clock and brought Conductor Land and Quarantine Onicer Howard home.
 While Conductor Lands injuries are considered serious, they are not thought to be of a fatal nature, as it is not believed that he received any internal injuries. The wrecker that was sent out began at once to put the track in shape and 1t is thought that the road will be in condition by morn ing and that trafic on the road will not be delayed over a few hours.
 Colonel and Mrs. Abbott and c. c. Thomas of Selma were among the pas sengers, but were uphurt.
 Freight Train Wrecked
 Freight train No T3 on the Northern end of the Southern Railway had an accident about noon today at Noting ham. just this side of Talladega.

PABLETA.
BY HAYS BLACKMAN.


 (copyright, 1905. by Daily Story Pub.
 Pableta sat on the stairs and sang. The songs that she sang were ditties of the streets. or songs that she hearo at the theaters where she ana ner mother went as often as they could a1- ford. Pableta was eight years old, but instead of the thin and piping treble In which most children of that age sing' she had a voice. Pableta's mother coming up the stairs with an elderly man. paused to tilt back the little pointed chin and kiss the chnd's sing ing lips to silence. Pableta went on up the stairs with her mother ana the man. In the sitting room of the Httle fiat she sang again, presently, and the man took her between his knees ana pushed the hair back from her brow and kissed her "She has the divine gift the little one," he said.
 You really think that she will De singer?" Pableta's mother asked trem- ulousIy. And the great master an swered: she has the divine gift. There is a song bird in the little throat" He laid his fingers softly on Pableta's throat as he spoke He gave her mother many directions nefore ne went away-how to care for Paoietas voice. when the training should begin, how she must take care of the childs health and keep her well and strong to stand the strain that falls upon a sing CT.
 Pableta and her mother lived alone in the little flat. Of her father Fable ia seldom heard. Her father and mother had first known each other at little lake resort in the north. Her mother. who was only a lonely girl, was lon the stage" a disgrace in the eyes of Pabletas fathers people, but an added cause for infatuation on the part of the boy himself. He was the son of a Southern planter and he mar rted the little actress before the sum- yner was over But the marriage was not a happy one and before Pableta was born the two separated. each going their different ways. Pableta's mother and Dick Morley were divorced and the child was left with the mother. The father was not anxious to gain posses sion of the baby. the mother was, for Pableta had become the one tie that held Mary Morley to life and the moth- CT loved the baby devotedly.
 So Pableta grew up hearing little of her father Mary Morley liked to think that the child belonged wholly to her. And every penny of wh'ch she stinted herself in order to give Pableta every sacrifice that she made for the child's sake made the little daughter dearer to her.
 The day that Pableta sat on the stairs and sang, when the great master had praised her voice was years in the past and Pableta was grown. The song bird in the slender throat sang more sweetly than ever, for the years
