I'm lost called Barbara.
This is awful" answered the man.

on earth did your brother let You out
on such a day? II shall call him to
account for this And | am Of no use.
This Is my first experience with an
American blizzard l, too, am lost"
Barbara's heart sank Her months
acquaintance with the young English
man, who was their nearest neighbor
and who during her visit had ridden
the fifteen miles regularly three times
a week, had inspired her with a pro
found faith in his capabilities. As he
owned himself lost, she unconsclously

and In spite Of her protestatlons wrap

The Englshman pOndered for a mo-

too bad You are the one that prob

ponies always head for home, they say,
as soon as blizzard strikes them. My
horse didn't know enough. But wait.
Give Tonka her head aud see what she
does. I'm afraid we'll have to walk
or freeze"
With the horses on either side Of
them they started out, Tonka. without
a moments hesitation. taking the lead.
1t was a terrible Journey. In spite Of
Ingraham's assistance Barbara con
stantly stumbled and fell. Without
the protection of his fur coat he could
only fight hopelesly against the numb
ing cold that assailed him, his heart
aching over the misery of the girl who
depended on him so pathetically, but
Tonka, with dropping head, plodded
slowly on.
As Barbara assisted to her feet for
the hundredth time, dimly concluded
that it would be better to lie still than
to struggle against the fearful cold,
Tonka give Il glad whinny and stood

Barbara looked up.

THE TURKISH KAIK.


II More Closely Resembles the Com
doIa Than Any other Craft.
Crawford, the author, to whose skill
full pen Gonstantinople is Indebted for
one of the most charming volumes ever
issued in its praise, has a word to say
about the Turkish boatmen aud their
vehicle, the kaik.
"Constantnople owes much" writes
he, Ito the matchless beauty of the
three waters which run together be-
meath its walls, and much of their
reputation again has become world
wide by the kaik. 1t is disputed and
disputable whether the Turks copied
the Venetian gondOla or whether the
Yenetians initiated the Turkish kalk,
but the resemblance between them is
SO strong as to make II certain that
they have common origin. Take
from the gondola the 'felse, or hood
and the rostrated stem and the re
malnder Is practically the kaik. 1t is
of all craft of its size the swiftest, the
most easy TO handle and the most COM
Portable, and the Turks generally are
admitted to be the best oarsmen In
Europe
Indeed they have need to be, for
both the Bosporus and the Golden
Horn are crowded with craft of every
kind and made dangerous by the swift
est of currents The distances, too. are
very great and such as no ordinary
oarsman would undertake for pleasure
or for the sake Of exercise. 1t is no
joke to pull fifteen or sixteen miles
against "A stream which in some places
runs four or five knots an hour"

THE ROADS.

The condition of the public roads
since the continued rains began calls
attention forclbly to the need of rock
crushing machines and roller for
packing the highways as additions to
the present equipment. BY crushing
and putting rock on newly worked
roadways and then packing them firm
they would be made travelable in all
kinds of weather.
Road building is difficult science
even under perfect conditions, and
all the helps in the way of mod
ern machinery are required to make
The roads passable where clay soil IS
encountered. We believe the purchase
of these machines would be approved
generally by the people of the county,
who are sincerely DESTROYS of having
.1jrst-class highways.

A FAMILY ROW.

Our sprightly authenticated con-
temporary, The Atlanta News, is at
present experiencing the unpleasant
ness of a row within the family. Col
Onel John Temple Graves, the bril-
liant editor-in-chief, has filed an in
junction against Mr.. Charles Daniel,
the general manager, charging all
nanner of things generally, and par
ticularly that Mr.. Daniel has sold out
the stock to some bad and designing
mercenaries. This Mr.. Daniel denies,
and charges that Editor Graves is
trying to use the paper in furtherance
of his own political ends.
Our friend Graves, with a lawsuit
with members of his own household
and a race for the United States SEN
ate on hand at the same time, has eX-
cellent prospects just ahead of him
Cor a very strenuous existence. Either
Is as much as most any man would
care to tackle. The outcome of the
row will be awaited with interest.

REDUCTION IN RATES.

The Georgia railroad commission
has ordered a reduction of ten per
cent. in the rates now charged for local
freight by the Central, the Southern
and the Atlantic Coast Line railways.
The commission will also require 9th
.er railroads in the state, including the
Seaboard Air Line, to show cause
why their rates should not be reduced.
This most important matter was under
consideration for some time, the sew
eral lines affected making a strenuous
sight against any reduction in their
existing rates.
The action Of the commission in
making a reduction of ten per cent in
Jhe freight rates of the largest railway
systems IN the south is of great inter-
est and Importance, and shows that
the commission is careful of and will
protect the interests of the people. 1t
is stated on the best of authority, and
has never been denied, that within the
past year the commission has saved
the people of Georgia nearly million
dollars.

A COLD STORAGE SQUAD.

Every town-dweller knows that cold
storage food does not taste like fresh
food, but little is known, even by ply
sicians, as to the effect ofcold storage
food on the human system. The chem
lists Of the department of agriculture
have recently begun to experiment up
on group of government clerks to
discover It's effect. Nothing that has
not been in cold storage at least q
year is fed to the experiment squad.
The food is prepared by a cook who
has passed the civil service eXamina-
ton, and he makes it as attractive as
possible The men have been eating
the food for six or seven weeks, and
thus far have shown no serious i'll eff
fects. Cooks and butchers and a few
others already know, or claim to
know, that certain kinds of meat are
improved by cold storage.
This government of ours is a very
active and inquisitive institution, and
there is no telling in what direction it
will turn its Investigations and re-
searches.

LEPROSY CURED.

For the second time in its history
she Louisiana institution for the cure
of leprosy announces that a patient
has been discharged as cured. The
announcement gives added authority
to the first of the kind, made about a
wear ago. The name of the patient
and the details of the cure are of
course kept secret by the Louisiana
officials, in accordance with a general
policy in such cases, but it is said by
them that the patient came to the home
six years ago we'll advanced in lepro-
.sy, and has been treated steadily and
successfully. The patient discharged
EAST year had been three years at the
home. DR.. Isadore Dyer, the consult
ing leprologist. recently read at d
Texan conference a list of ten such
cures in his practice, a record that nc
doctor of medicine, it is believed, has
ever before equaled.
