The days passed and he did not APP
pear at the Frazier home. One day
at the dinner table her father re-
marked:
"Shcrburne is really going to Eu-
rope at last. lie wishes to get rid of
his plantation before he goes and has
offered it to me at half it's value.
He will leave in two days"
Ada's heart beat unanimously
within her breast, but she gave no
sign of her feeling. She could not
sleep that night and when the next
day passed without bringing him for
a last farewell Ada feared that it
was almost more than she could bear.
The day before his departure Sher-
burne was looking over some posses
sions that he wished to keep from
the contents of the house He came
upon "A pair of duellng pistols and was
admring their exquisite finish, when
Harry Bertrand, n young student at
home for vacation, and nephew of
Mr. Frazier. burst into the room.
ooh, Sherburne" he exclaimed.
"Those are just what l want. Old
Mr.. Lee is just in sight, coming here,
and you know how he hates dueling.
Let us give him scare. When Mr..
Lee passes that magnolia | will fire
and you must fan as If you were
shot. Yau are pale enough to act the
part without painting"
Walter Sherburne obeyed his order
and when Mr. Lee reached the gates
OF Magnolia Lodge he saw his favor
lite borne apparently lifeless into the
house, and scapegrace Harry riding
away as If fleeing for life, while cries
OF Hes killed! He's killed." were
uttered by the group assembled on
the piazza.
'Idiots" exclaimed tho old man.
'Why don't some of you go for "a
doctor? Is he dead?"
mot quite" was the reply. And
away went Mr.. Lee as fast as his
horse could carry him. On his way
for physician he stopped for few
moments at Mr.. Fraziers, thinking
Harry might have taken refuge there.

when he saw the two children shot
down by men armed with shotguns.

In the early days of Mississippi it
was, as most of the states have been
I'm their turn, built up by those from
the older settlements who were

pioneers was Allan Frazier of Nir-

The children took up the quarrel.
When they met there was an ex-
change of taunts and abuse. Often
they fought. A love match between
the oldest children of the two fam
lilies was terminated A few months
ago the Rawlings boys stripped little
Bob Carter, soused him in a creek
until he was half drowned and with
held his clothing while mosquitoes
stung the boy. That brought matters
to fighting pitch.
A minister sought to restore har-
mony. Carter was willing. Rawlings
rejected the overtures and, so the
preacher said. avowed that he would
crawl on his belly for miles to kill
Carter and his brood"
A few evenings later cattle in the
Carter barn made a great rumpus.

QUEER WAY TO
HELP HOME TOWN

BATTLE CREEK. Mich, Aug. "a.
For the first time in the history of
this town the annual picnic of the
Grocers' and Butchers association Is
held right here instead of at some re-
sort out of town. This is the first
tangible result of the inauguration of
a policy of protecting homo indus
tries. which was agreed upon by the
merchants and citizens of Battle
Creek at a recent meeting. The citi-
zens are determined to buy all they
need from the local merchants instead
of sending mail orders to Chicago and
other cities. 1t is expected that the
example of the citizens of Battle
Creek will find imitators in many
other smaller towns in this state.

sufferer The boy suffered terribly
from pain and was later tortured by
thirst.
Carter and his wife knew that sure
death awaited them if they ventured
out. They were helpless, and so re-
manned in the house while for six
long hours the cries of the dying boy
assailed their ears.
All night long the murderers be-
sieged the house. They fired many
shots. with the blind hope of strik-
ing the occupants. Late at night they
grew desperate and attempted to fire
the building Carter drove them away
with charges from a shotgun. just
before daylight the men disappeared
Mrs. Carter's hair turned white In
the night. The surviving children
were for days nervous wrecks.

A CERTAIN
CURE FOR
CANCER

New York. April ls.--Experiments now
under way at the Flower hospital in this
city are reported to indicate the discovery
of an almost certain cure for cancer. II
consists OF n new method for the spplica-
ton OF radium. A chemist of this city
claims to have succeeded in dissolving
radium. and that the resulting solution
exerted all the activity of the pure
radium.
Surgeons and physicians OF the Flower
hospital stan decided TO give the solution
trial and selected a woman 80 years Of
age, who was dying from a cancer on the
instep OF her left foot. Two weeks ago
she received her first treatment Six
days later tho doctors say the cancer
dropped off and showed healthy flesh be-
reau. Nothing remained but TO heal
the tissue. which was finally accom-
phshed. although the treatment is still
being continued. Tomorrow another ex-
pertinent will be undertaken.
