I'm not a rich man, David, though
you think l am. AS for taking your
farm if haunt taken it, somebody
else would; for you were a ruined man.
And now, even, if | leave it to you in my
will. it would be little use, because
Mary's money must come out of it. Oil
1t was a hard blow-a cruel, hard blow"
Yes" said David. "As a Judgment,
it was a-a-a-wunner. l never heard
of a nobler judgment. Three thousand
pounds!-and a fall off your pony.-and
a paralysis.-all for robbing me of my
land. Did you ever offer any reward?'
No. What was the good?'
Would you give any reward?"
Il would give-I would give-yes-I
would give ten pounds to get that box
back again."
Ten pounds for three thousand.
That's a generous offer, isn't it?'
I'D give fifty pounds-I'd give a hun.

vid." He multiplied his offer by two ev-

You'd have to come down more hand
some than four hundred to get back three
thousand pounds. WE'LL" he rose as if
to go, that's all I've got to say this
morning. That will do for to-day. Much
more handsome you would have to come

David" cried his uncle, eagerly,
what do you mean by being more hand
some? Tell me, David-do you know
anything?"
Why" said David, 81 may know, OF

Didn't | say that l might have something

morning. He moved toward the door.

THAT is my secret"-he stood with
his hand on the door handle-''if you tell
a secret, what is the good of it?'
David, stop-stop, Do you know

Look here, uncle; perhaps the box ex-
lists, and perhaps it doesn't. Perhaps
| have learned where it is and perhars
| haven't. Perhaps I've got a paper OUT
of the box in my pocket at this minute,
and perhaps-well, what would you give
me for a paper out of the box, taken
out this very morning, zone of the other
papers having been so much as touched?
What would yeu give for that, just to
show that the Others can be laid hold
OFF,
"Oh! give it to me, David" the old
man stretched out both hands with yearn-
ing eyes; "let me look at it. Can it be
that the box is found after all, and safe?''
If it is found, depend upon it that
it is safe, uncle. Take your oath of that.
The man who's got that box won't let it
go in a hurry, particularly when he
knows what's inside it. Three thousand
pounds! and, perhaps, if he knew it, his
own. for the trouble of presenting them
at the right place."

planned for the second time. "You don't
know what that means, perhaps; it means
that any one who presents those papers

Four score. aye near five score of them had the chaplets of knighthood on their foreheads and swore allegiance to the Dramatic Order of Knights of Khorassan.
 And at the ninth hour of the if. teenth day of the fifth month. half score of wise and parlous brave Knights of Khorassan. who worship oasis of Georgia, bestrode their camels and journeyed to the great hall, which is in the city of Montgomery and there they were greeted tcS by , cult t.,S or men men clothed in much green. so that they resembled the acting Emir of Mont gomery. the Great Cornelius Patricious, and these men did most undecorously bid them welcome by aggravating the hew gag, the tom tom. aye and the whangdoodle.
 And when the Georgia Knights had thus been made welcome, the Mont gomery tyros, and tyros from the smaller caravans of Evergreen, of Sel- ma, of Tuscaloosa, of Greenville, aye of Birmingham and a half score oth- CTS. came and a right merry night. the Knights made with them, they being unwise in the methods of the Knights of Khorassan and the Knights being of a disposition accommodating enough to let them learn of its deep and merry mysteries.

CUNARD INCONSISTENCY.
J. B. Ismay's Letter Written to Lord
 InVercIyde.


 InvercIyde.
 Liverpool May 15-A sensation has been created in shipping circles by the publication of a long letter of protest from J. B. Ismay to Lord Inverclyde against the attitude of the Cunard Company assumed in the recent dispute and there is much curiosity as to how the latter became public property, 1t be- ing known that MT. Ismay never in- tended that it should be divulged.
 The letter maintains that the Cunard Company's distrust of the steamship combine is inconsistent because in 1896 the Cunard Company sought to form a similar international combina- tion with the American and other lines, but excluding the White Star Line The chairman of the Cunard Company at that time expressed a strong opinion that such a combination would be fa- vorably regarded in the highest politi- cal circles of Great Britain. It is diff ficult, therefore, MT. Ismay's letter con- tinues, to understand why similar combination now should. in the Cunard Company's opinion. be detrimental and menacing merely because the Cunard instead of the White Star Line is not included.
 Mir. Ismay further reminds Lord In- verclydc of the negotiations the latter conducted in 1902 for the disposal of the controlling interest in the Cunard Company to the syndicate which waG then engaged in forming the Interna- tional Mercantile Marine Company. ne- gotiations which failed. not through Lord Inverclydes unwillingIess to sell, but through the reluctance of the syn dlcate to give a high enough price. Nothing Is yet known as to Lord In- verclyde's reply and the Cunard Com pany refuses any information.

PATHOS, TRAGEDY
 BLENDED IN DRAMA
Transpirng in Real Lifeline cone Touch of Nature Which Makes the Whole Kin, Resrans BystanderS When Strong Man Breaks into Tears, as His Terror
 and Fears Vanish.

Not always Is their one topic of con
 versation equally absorbing to the business man, the society favorite. the woman of fashion and the housewife. If a man fails tc come up to the stan dard, or a woman transgresses, the rules and laws of society his or her failure, while widely chronicled fails to interest every class. At present. however, many Montgomery people are taking a keen interest in one man. and are watching with i'll concealed inn patience the drama in which he is chief actor. In 1t are blended joy and glad ness, the pathos and tragedy so often found in real life. Each scene in the drama has the same setting. and in each this one man is the central figure, but the other actors are ever changing. each giving place to the next in rotation It need hardly be said that the man upon whom so many eyes are turned Is Dr. A. A. Odom, and the action in the drama centers around his patrons, who in never ending file pass to and from his parlors in Clan cey Hotel. What can be more pathetic than the man or woman who feels the beauties of nature slipping away from him or her; who waits in anxious dread for the time when the faces or their loved ones may be plotted out forever. to exist thereafter only in memory, ana in memory shrouded with eternal dark ness and then to what appeals more to happiness than the final banishment Of that same fear? One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. and who will laugh at the strong man who breaks down and weeps for pure joy that his eyes are again made strong.
