the Birmingham district was best for every man in it. Earnestly, prayerfully we co-operated with one another in the one didnite object we had in view, name- ly, to develop the wonderful resources deposited in this district by bountiful and gracious Providence. In the develop ment of these resources we saw opportun- ities not merely for personal enrichment, but also for doing lasting benefit to our neighbors and our neighbors' children, to the third and fourth generation"

heroic figure Of Confederate soldier

stands on neat pedestal in the court

main entrance gate and the new court

Frye asked Albert quickly.
Il sent 'em six months ago, was the
reply, "an' I've jest bout made up my
mind I was a fool to Il done it, an q
bigger one to keep sendin' money
"Ir would have been all right an
swered Albert after a pause, IF you
bad put them into an honest mans
hands. AS it is you are lame-in fact,
utterly at the mercy of Frye, who is
robbing you" Then, after thinking a
moment, he added: Il will gladly do
what I can to help you, Mr.. Terry,
and at no cost to you for my own serr-
ices. The first step must be to get
possession Of these material proofs, the
next to find what firm has employed
Frye. We are helpless until We get
possession Of those proofs. -
''GAin't my word an Lissy's as to
savin' the baby no count" asked
Uncle Terry.
Very good, so far as it goes, but
really no proof that the child you
saved is the one wanted for this in
heritance. In the matter Of legacy
the law is very exacting and demands
absolute proof. No, the only way is
to use duplicity and trick Frye or ask
him to name his price ard pay it, and
as the estate may be large his price
will naturally be extortionate.'
Albert thought moment and then
added. HAS Frye ever written you
admitting he has received or has those
proofs in his possession?
''Not q word," answered Uncle Ter
ry. All he writes is: Your case is
progressing fayoraDly. I need so much
more money an I send it an lag
wake nights worryin'."
"How long since he has sent for
money!" asked Albert.
"'Bout month, I reckon replied
Uncle Terry.
.'I confess, Mr.. Terry, I am stump
ed.''
After a pause Albert asked Uncle
Terry:
.How does your-I mean, how does
Telly feel about this matter, Mr.. Ter
ry, for I suppose she knows the story"
That's suthin' I hate to talk bout,
but as we're likely to see more o us

''Dru1o yourself as holding the oars
Telly insisted on decorating the boat.
When it was done she wanted him to
make a sketch Of it for her. Draw
yourself as holding the oars" she said.
''and will try to paint picture from
the sketch to remember you by" she
added with smile.
Then, as the sun was getting low,
they started for home. The breeze had
vanished and the sea was like glass.
Only the long ground swells barely
lifted their boat and made the shad-
ows Of the trees along the shore wave
in fantastic undulations. When they
reached the Cape Telly said: "Iou had
better 80 around to the cove where IA
ther keeps his boats. It's nearer to
the house, and there is float there
where you can pull your boat out
She waited until he had done so, and
then stopped and selected a few Of the
flowers with which they had decked
the boat. 81 am going to paint them" :"
she said quietly as she turned and fol-
lowed Albert up to the house.
