By Frank Putnam

My folks have set off for the country
And left me to go it alone;
With a score of last words and of kisses
From several car windows thrown;
And a hundred and one last instructions
Concerning the house and the yard;
With a final grand family chorus:
Be careful, and don't work too hard
I'm to look after Jimmy's pet rabbit;
And to trim Helen's roses with care:
And to tend Wills tomatoes; and daily
To flood every room with fresh air;
And to take in the milk every morning;
And to keep the ice covered; and not
To forget to make sure to be certain
To-to-humphl I've already forgot
Well, well, they are now in Ohio,
And speeding on into the West;
While strange and unusual quiet
Is lulling my senses to rest.
An east wind blows in from Atlantic
With a breath that is foggy and chill,
And only the tops of the pine trees
Loom out of the mist on the hill;
But in Morris chair here by the fire
That CraCkles and glows on the CRATE
I'm taking my ease with a book on my knees
AS | haven't done often, of late.

THE clock in the Van Twiller study was striking
nine when Wooster came in the room and
found himself facing the stony glare OF the
Majors eyes
Since four o'clock the older had waited
During all that time, by hundred clever subter-
fuges Aileen had contrived to escape, first her
mother then her dinner and finally a theater en-
gagernent to remain behind the curtain. from the

Van IW1er accusations and suspicious with COM
parative ease; but what consolation could be left
him if Aileen guilty of some indisCretion, some
dreadful mistake? She had called it question of
life and death. Did she mean her own life? Had
she meant to intimate that, her secret re-
veaed she would take her life?
He thrust this latter thought away as shameful
not only to her. but as well to himself In lovers
reactionary mode of thought he flouted his own
worthiness and loyalty he scorned his own recre-
ant heart Nevertheless that iendsh little sug
gestion persisted, and the wrung cor
respondingy.
He made an attempt to eat his breakfast, but
failed What he should do, he could not determine
The aspect of the entire affair from Major Van
Twiller's point of view he appreciated thoroughly
and painfully. 1t was now concerning the things
that must follow that he thought, and must keep
on thinking.
What would happen this afternoon and to-
morrow? To all intents and purposes he was al
ready prisoner out on parole. What could prevent
his arrest and disgrace when he next came face to
face with the Major? Vaguely the memory of
what Aeen had said-that she could not let any
thing happen to hm-returned to his mind, but
not reassurngly. Some powerful motive had sealed
her lips, at the moment most vital to his honor.
What reason could he have for supposng that the
motive would presently to affect her kindest
intentions?
What could he say to his host? Nothing, abso-
1utely nothingl And what could he expect there
fore? He laughed aloud, harshly. Sternness, i'm
placabity fanatic of justice, to cruelty,
had been the dominant motives of Major Van
Twillers life. With lack of capacity for love
and fondness in his nature, the irOn-minded old
soldier nevertheless would have spared neither
friend nor child nor self, where point of honor
stood demanding judgment No there was nothing
to look for there, except extremity OF sentence.
Wooster burned at this, for the thought of being
actually arrested say nothing of being arraigned
as thief brought sense of loathng and shrinking
upon him that made him positively i'll. 1t could
not go so far as this! But what could prevent such
a climax? He could not speak, and the Major
would never reent, by much jot. There
was only Aileen remaining would she avert the
shame? That was the one slender hope he had
left. And if she should speak, would what
she had to say involve herself? If So the situation
would be worse. And to some extent, no matter
how the case was viewed, Aileen was responsible
for what had occurred. How terribly vivid was
his memory of the voice in which she had called 1t
a case of life and death!
The man was confounded the more he thought
To and fro he paced, up and down his room, till

nearly ten o'clock He wondered at last about his
business engagements. 1t was not until then that
he suddenly remembered Teddy Wrinkle, the little
chap he had promised to be with at the hospital
later in the morning.
He left the house at once, and was driven TO
the Agnes Mason Refuge where to his surprise he
learned that the surgeon engaged to perform the
operation his little friend had altered his plans
and taken Teddy to another institution. Wooster
was soon hand in the ward where the child
had been placed Half an hour later the operation
was begun, Wooster remaining IN the larger room
away from the scene, with Teddy's mother.
1t not until nearly noon that the surgeon
summoned him to Teddys side. and then ne was
quietly informed that coma threatened the frail
spark of life remaining in the small patients body
With the doctors and nurses Wooster wrought in
desperation to coax back the little life
All afternoon he remained with the others his
anguish of mind increasing the work seemed to
become futile and hope so slender. 1t was after
a shadOwy consciousness had returned to the still
child that Wooster's services became invaluable, for
he alone of all the company present could persuade
the little to try to live he alone could awaken
the chids desire reassu1ne the burden of exist

had expended his final effort. He had more
resources at command Wooster was told that on

warm him back to life.

some sort of comfort that the weary childish brain
could grasp, when nurse came softly to his side
and informed him that man had come, who wished
see him alone in the office below. 1t was fully an
hour after that before he left his post and then to
his intense relief the surgeon after looking at the
face OF little Ted, turned abruptly to shake him
by the hand.
81 think you'd better leave him now, he said
''You needn't worry any lOnger-you've won!'
Weak from sheer loss of vitality, Wooster said
goodnight to them all and went downstairs to the
where his visitor waiting. He found a
man with small sharp eyes and clean-shaved face
blue with the thickness of beard that could not be
wholly efaced.
''Wel1?" said Nelson. MY name is Wooster.
I'm on replied the man but it took me
something of a spell to find out where you was
Mr.. Van Twiller asked me to look you up and tell
you he's waitin to see you on important biz
iii go at once" said Wooster. Thank you.
He left the place followed at a distance by the
man. As soon as he could he procured cab and
was driven rapidly to the Van Twiller mansion.
The man did likewise and entered the place, as if
by arrangement at the door in the OF the
house.

WoosTER awoke the following morning with
w a bitter taste in all his being. Between
dreams and reality he almost had fancied that all
well, that fuller consciousness would swiftly
disspate his troubles and restore his happiness of
mind. But his habitual clearness of thought re-
turned to him presently, revealing hundred ugly
features of the nights complications that he had
not realized before.
What manner of business it was in which Aileen
had been engaged was his principal mystifcaton.
At times he nearly betrayed into doubts of
her motives, her connection with the wretched
affair. This the elimination of his own I'm

CAUSE OF FAILURE
 TO HOLD ELECTION
IT IS SAID THAT THE ELECTION OF TWO LIEUTENANT IN SEC oND REGIMENT WAS NOT LE- oAL-BRANDoN WAS HERE.

The cause of the failure to hold the election for colonelcy in the Second regi- ment Monday night came to light yes terday when the official order postponing the election was held.
 The order states that there is some doubt about the legality of the election of two lieutenant in Company l., Second regiment On the vote of these two lieu tenants hinges the election of the colonel of the regiment.
 It is understood that they would both have voted for Lieut. Col. Bricken for colonel and that their votes would have elected him. The matter of the election of the two leutenants will be thoroughly investigated by Adjutant General Bran don before the postponed election for colonel will be held.
 General Brandon was in the city yes terday morning for a few minutes and stated that the governor desired to pre- vent any future trouble in the Second regiment and for that reason ordered the election for colonel postponed until the legality of the election of the two lieutenants could be determined

MINERS CHILDREN WILL ALL ATTEND
 THE SAME SCHOOLS
County Superintendent of Education Believes That Union and Non-Unon Miners Children Will Go to Same School in the
 Mining Dstrcts-0ne School House at Each Place

their children 20 to school They stated that the school was open to them and that the teacher had invited them to come there, but that nevertheless they did not care for their children to mix.
 At Sayreton, the county officials were confronted with a similar problem, except that in this instance the non-union miners children were getting the benefit of the school and the union people de- clined to send their children to the school, although they stated that 1t was open to them, and that they had been request- ed to send them there.
 County Superintendent of Education McAdory. in discussing the situation yes- terday, said:
 "The antagonism between the union and non-union forces is less this year. I believe. than it was during the last school term, and every effort is being made to settle the trouble. The policy which the county board of education has adopted is very similar to the one en- ployed by Professor Monroe when he went to the school at Johns last year. As soon as the school term opened Pro- lessor Monroe expressed himself to the effect that he did not care to know eith- CT union or non-union men, but that he wanted to know all men as citizens of the place. The school, he said, was open to all children living in the district, and he wanted every child to attend it. Discus sion of the union or non- union princi- ples was positively prohibited among the children. The result was that while the trouble was not remedied and the solu- tion did not prove positively effective, many children of both union and nom union miners attended the school and successful session was held.
 At Adger last year there were three separate buildings under the name of one school. In this way all children attended the school. This year. however, only one building will be used. The schools at Republic. sayreton and other places where the trouble was encountered last year will begin the session about Octo- Der l. and 1t Is hoped that no trouble will be experienced"
 The next meeting of the county board of education will be held on Septem- Der g.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-08-30

Despite the fact that much trouble was experienced last year. County Superin- ] tendent of Education I. ". McAdory be- lieves that the difficulty of getting the
 children of union and non-union miners to attend the same school will not arise this year.
 Last year at Cardiff, Pinkney City,
 Graysville. 'Adamsville. Johns. Adger,
 Sayreton and Republic trouble was ex-
 perienced in persuading all the children
 to go to the same school on account of
 the antagonism between the union and
 non-union forces at those places. l At the last meeting of the county board of education, held on August 12, a peti-
 ton was read from the citizens of Repub- | lic asking that a school house be estab- llshed on the grounds of the company,
 or in other words in order that the non- union children could go to a separate
 school from the children of the union
 miners.
 | The request has been denied and 1t will l be the policy of the board to establish only one school in each mining town. The
 matter has been placed in the hands of
 the district trustees and they will have power to act. It remains for them to
 decide whether or not the school house
 shall be established on the company prop
 erty or off of it.
 l In the former case the non-union fam l lilies will probably have the advantage, l and in the latter case the children of | the union miners will probably consti- l ute almost the entire enrolment of the | school.
 1 One drawback to the situation, accord
 ing to Professor McAdory, Is the fact that
 the county owns very few of the district school houses. No school Is recognized | by the county board of education, and
 consequently receives no portion of state
 or county appropriations for school pur-
 poses, that does not allow all children to
 attend it regardless of the position of | their parents on the labor question. | At Republic last year an effort was made to get the children of the non- union miners to attend the school which
 was situated on the property occupied by striking union miners. Professor Mo Adory visited the camp and endeavored to persuade the non-union miners to let

RAILROAD WANTS TO
 RUN UP SECOND ALLEY

Mayor Ward and members of the City Council are deeply interested in the ap- plication made by the Alabama Great Southern for franchise that will per init the road to run its tracks across First avenue at Twelfth street, enter Second alley and come up the alley as far as Eighteenth street.
 In as much as this Is the first applica- ton of railway to use the street and all ley mentioned for trackage purposes, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen are some what perplexed to know what action should be taken in the premises. The proposition is distinctly new departure, they think, and should be carefully con- sidered by the people as well as the coun- ell before definite action Is taken.
