FORGERY CHARGED
 AGAINST WILLIAMS
RAISED THE AMOUNT OF SICK BENEFIT DUE HIM FROM AN IN sURANcE coMPANY-DR. sNEp-. EcoR VAcATEs HOME.

Tuscaloosa, September 18-(speeial,)- Dill Williams, a negro fireman, has been arrested and placed in the county Jail here charged with forgery. It seems that Williams has been on the sick list for quite a while and that he belonged to a fraternity paying sick claims, He was recently examined by the eompany's nhy- sician, Dr. Sydney Leach When Dr. Leach gave him his paper to send to the company it appears that Williams did not like the amount and proceeded to have a bogus paper fixed up in Mont gomery raising the amount to such an extent that the company grew suspicious when they submitted the papers to Dr. Leach who immediately had warrant sworn out for Williams arrest, charging him with forgery in the second degree. Dr. J. G. Snedeeor, who recently sold his place to the city of Tuscaloosa to be used by the city for a southside pub lie school, vacated his homo yesterday and the handsome stone structure will be overhauled at once and will be occupied as a school just as soon as the work Is completed which will probably be Oc- tober l.

CHAPTER XII.

THAT evening Guilford Duncan
was summoned to Hallam's
house for supper. With only Mrs.
Hallam for auditor, Hallam
wished to tell the young man all that
! had occurred. for Duncan had not been
! permitted to know aught OF it, since
Hallam had turned him out of his room
in order that the conference with Dick
| Temple might be strictly private one.
Nor had Duncan seemed very great
ly concerned TO inquire. He had
not expected Hallam and Temple to
succeed in accomplishing anything,
and at this time his fate was at a crisis
in another and, to him, dearer way
| His interview with Barbara had been
held as we know, at the precise time
when Hallam and Temple were in con-
sultatlon with regard to the matter of
Tandy's accusation. In some degree
at least the painful character Of that in
terview with Barbara and its unsat
isfactory result had dulled his mind to
the Other trouble. In view of Bar
bara's seemingly final rejection Of his
wOOing he was not sure that he greatly
cared what might become of his repu-
tation or his career. He was too strong
man in his moral character, however,
to remain long in state of such indif-
ference. but for the time being he found
it impossible to regard his future as a
matter of much consequence now that
Barbara refused to share that future
with him.
"There is still one more chance" he
reflected, zone more interview with
Barbara, one more hope that l may
win her. If that fails, the other thing
won't matter much. I'll horsewhip
Tandy and then go away No; | won't
go away. l won't desert in the pres
ence of the enemy | won't-oh, don't
know what | will or won't dol All that
must wait till l know my fate with
Barbara"
This was on the morning after his
evening with Barbara-the morning on
which Temple first made acquaintance
with Tandy Duncan was sitting idly
in his Office. mechanically toying with
a paper cutter Presently he over
turned the inkstand, splitting its con-
tents over some legal papers that he
had drawn up the day before
THAT'S fortunater' he calculated as
with blottlng pads he sought to save
what he could of the documents. 1T
gives me something better to do than
sit here idly incoming. Those papers
must go of by the afternoon mail, and
must rewrite them first"

plication to the task for several hours

Paw, Mich.

heJJer TO MI. w. a. IemduX, raw
Paw, Mich.
Dear Sir: Some think we take good
deal of risk in inviting complaints OF
Devoe lead-and-zinc-we authorize our
agent to sell it under this guarantee:
"If you have any fault to find with
this paint either now in putting it on,
or hereafter IN the wear, tell your dealer
about it.
1--WE authorize him to do what is right
at our expense"
The following story tells how little
the risk is:
j. II. Asher & Co, hardware dealers,
Rhinebeck, Y. Y, have sold Devoe from
20 to now; have sold thousands of gal
Ions and nave had just one complaint in
all this time.
Three sides of house were perfect;
the fourth was as bad as the three were
good.
Explanation rained the night be-
fore the fourth side was painted; and
the painters didn't wait for the wood to
dry.
What Is done in such case? What
ever the dealer, who sold the paint, con-
siders it fair to do. We leave 1t to him.
He may not do exactly what we should
do if we were there; but we are not
there. The best we can do is to leave it
to him. Yours truly,
+ w DEvoE * Co

gers. but-well. I'll tell you what I'll
do. If you care to subscribe for a few
shares of the barrel company-say one
or two thousand dollars worth-Ill let
you have the bank stock at 103.
Ielhpie was eager 10 close the bar
gain, but he resolutely repressed his
eagerness. He asked a score of ques-
tions, as If in doubt, and at last he
hesitatingly agreed to make the pur-
chase. The details were to be ar
ranged on the next day, and so Tandy
took his leave, and Temple lay awake
all night, as he had done on the night
before.
At o'clock the next afternoon Tenn
pie strolled into the Hallam office to
report results. He threw the papers
upon desk and sank into chair like
one exhausted He was in fact al
most in a state of collapse
When he entered the Hallam offices
and laid. the papers before the head Of
the house he said only:
1--WE secured the stock" When he
sank into the chair Hallam was quick
TO see his condition.
Go up to Duncan's roons and go
to bed" be urged you've not been
sleeping"
Recovering himself quickly, Temple
answered.
mo, think I'd rather not If you've
no further use for me, ! think I'll go
home by the train that starts an hour
hence There'll be time enough be-
tween now and then for me to render
you an account of money spent and
give you my check for the balance in
Tandy's bank | don't want to see
Duncan just now"
Hallam understood. every wei" he
answered as Temple turned to a desk.
you've saved Duncan, and there's
nothing more for you TO do here. But
you must come back for the final grand
tableau just a week hence. I'll leave
this stock in your name till then, and
YOU shall walk with me into the stock
holders meeting and help me salivate
old Napier Tandy. Wen teach him
not to play tricks"
Captain Hallam spoke no word Of
commentator for the way in which
Temple had done his work Words
were unnecessary.
Il hope | made no mistake in sub
scrlbing for that barrel company
stock" said Temple as he passed the
completed papers over to Hallam. AT
any rate, I'd like to keep that my
self, If | may, whether it ever proves
to be worth anything or not. I've ac-
cumulated enough money TO pay for it,.
oh as to that" answered Hallam
lightly, the stock will be good enough.
I'll make it so by taking a majority in
terest in the company and consOldat-
ing it with my own. You see, we
simply must do something for old Nap
per Tandy."
