corn one is growing. AS matter OF

It was precisely on the day for the

the postman, making his morning
round, delivered David Kent's asking

the migration, but she left Penelope
and the maid to cope with the problem
of COMPRISING two trunkfuls into one

reading it a second time, when Mr..
Brookes Ormsby's card came up.

"There is SO much to do. = .4s.s....4ss...s

the early morning caller. #ss H.

SAAZAA i AAAS ~
THE FLEsH-FoTs OF EGYPT.
The westward journey began at tho
appointed hour in the evening with the
resourceful Ormsby in command; and
when the outsetting, in which she hail
to sustain only the part of an obedient
automaton, was fact accomplished.
Elinor settled back into the pillowed
corner of her, sleeping car section tn

the one cared for instead of the care
taker. -. ..
Two sections away the inevitable
newly married pair posed unconscious
ly to point the moral for Miss Brent
wood She marked the eagerly antici-
pative solicitude of the boyish groom,
contrasting it now and then with
Ormsby's less obtrusive attentions. It.
was all very absurd and sentimental,
she thought; and yet she was not with
out curious heart-stirring of envy
provoked by the self-satisfied compla-
cency of the bride. =: g.. -. :. 49,
What had that chit Of a girl done to
earn her immunity from self defend
ings and the petty anxieties? Nothing,
Elinor decided; at least. nothing more
purposeful than the swimmer does
when he let's himself drift with the
current: None the less, the immunity
was hers, undeniably, palpably. For
the first time in her life Miss Brent
wood found herself looking, with q
little shudder of withdrawal and dis
may, down the possible vista posi- BILE

milestoned by the unbroken years Of
spinsterhood and self-helpings.
Was she strong enough to walk this
hedged-up path alone ?? single hearted
enough to 60 on holding out against
her mothers urgings, against Orms-
by's masterful ,wooing, against her
own uncomfortable longing for i sure
anchorage; all this that she might
continue to preserve her independence
and live the life which, despite tn
drawbacks, was yet her own?
She took up the magazine Ormsby
had left on the seat beside her and
sought to put away the disquieting
thoughts. But they refused to be dis
missed; and now among them rose
up another, dating back to that ideals

He looked at her with narrowing

GOOD FOR TEDDY.

AS the guest of honor at the Lin
coin dinner of the New York Repub-
lican Club President Roosevelt made
a speech on the race problem. He
appealed to the North to make its
friendship for the South all the
greater because of the "embarrass-
ment of conditions for which she is
not alone responsible" declared that
the heartiest acknowledgements are
due to the ministers, law officers,
grand juries, public men aud "great
daily newspapers in the South, who
have recently done such effective
work in leading the crusade against
lynching," and said that the problem
was to $50 adjust the relations
between two races of different ethic
type that the backward race be
trained so that it may enter into the
possession of due freedom, while the
forward race is enabled to preserve
unharmed the high civilizatio on
wrought out by its forefathers.

But they don't hit me like the songs US

An "Massa's in the Cold. Cold Ground
we'd sing that by the hour,
Then, feelin' sad, we'd finish with "a

Them were the songs that round our
hearts the spell O. music flung,
Them were the songs that people sang
when US old folks was young.
We knowed some operate songs as well
as these, b'gee
"The Heart Bowed Down." likewise its
mate,"Then You'll Remember Ne" "
An when we tired of opery the simpler

NO WILDERNESS ABOUT IT
Northampton Times,

1t is, we believe, generally ac-
cepted fact that there is bred in the
bone of very many. though of course
not all, Richmonders, something
which moves them to thank God that
they are not quite as other men
something which impels them to re-
gard themselves very seriously; some
thing, indeed, which enables them to
read in the face of the very firma-
ment evidences of approval and pride
such as are vouchsafed alone to that
stately and self-couscious borough.
And the wonder of it all is that
you have only to know them to
become persuaded that they are
nearly if not quite right; and if they
would just contain themselves and
not indulge the pastime of under
estimating the dignity of some of
their fellow Virginians we might
forgive their little chest-expanding
proclivities, especially when it is
considered that taken alone it does
nobody any harm, and must afford
them vast amount of comfort.

way in which they are sometimes
wont to regard those who reside with
out the sacred gates. the esteemed

MAXIMs FOR BUSY PEOPLE

Don't waste vital energy in "cus-
sing" people who unintentionally
get in your way and seem to block
your progress.
We all have wills and are apt to
get the mind fixed on some object
ahead without proper consideration
for others who also have minds and
wills. 1t is strange that there is not
more interference where so many
people are working on independent
lines and all the time reaching dia-
metricalfy opposed conclusions.
Save your fighting strength for
your real enemy. You will need il
all to defeat his interference" You
will need not only your energy but
your discernment, for the real enemy
is not always one who actually gets
In your way. More frequently the
injury comes to you through assumed
friendship.
Fortunately our enemies are few,
our friends and well-wishers many.
When you "buck" into a man OH the
street, remember that his intentions
are innocent, and that he is probably
