"Whcn I hecrd that, Perkins, it was
natural fer me to wonder why YOU,

The sallow features OF the lawyer
seemed to stiffcn. He drew himself
up coldly and wicked expression
flashed in his eyes.
'Take my advice, old man," he
snarlcd as he threw down his pen and
stared doggcdly into Bishops face.
Stick to your farming and don't waste

questions which have no bearing on
your business whatever. Now, really,

That afternoon Bishop was driven to
barley by negro boy who was to
bring the buggy back home. He first
repaired to q barber shop, where he
was shaved, had his hair cut and his
shoes blackcd; then he went to the sta
tion half an hour before time and i'm
patiently walked up and down the
platform till the train arrived.
1t was o'clock when he reached At
lanta and made his way through the
jostlng crowd In the big passenger
depot out into the streets. He had his
choice of going at once to the residence
Of his brother, on Pcachtrcc street, the

about Il train to Darlcy 0nd was told
that one left at midnight. He decided
to take il and sat in one Of the iron

heard his train announced. Then he
went into the smoking car and sat
down in q corner.
He reached barley at half past in
the morning and went to the only hotel
in the place. The sleepy night clerk
rose from his lounge behind the coun-
ter in the Office and assigned him to q

Excitement Among the Boys.

Great interest and enthusiasm is be-
ing stirred up among the boys Of this
city al the result Of a unique and orig
inal offer made by Moore a Owens.
This store announces that the sales
man for Ederheimer, Stein & Co., makers
Of NTRAGO0D boys's clothing, Chicago,
will call upon them within ten days and
they offer to give, free, any $500 XTRA-
GOOD suit in their store TO the first
boy under sixteen who finds and identi-
iies this salesman.
A feature Of the plan is the one set
expression which must be used by the
young detectives, who are required to
say: You are from Ederheimer, Stein
& Co., Chicago, and sell XTRAG0OD
Clothes The salesman, it is said, will
not admit his identity unless addressed
in these precise words.
So active have the boys become in
their search that every stranger who
reaches town Is quickly besieged and
questioned by crowd Of young sleuths.
