Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-30

Mamma says she's worth her weight in
gold, said Miriam, rather satirically, not
willing to be surprised at what she had never
heard before.
"The whole family is vastly rich. How
did you manage to get in with themw
II didn't manage as you call it: Ma.
talle sought me quite as much as l did her.'
Simple at heart as Miriam naturally was,
the sensation her friendship for Natalie. ex-
cited among her acquaintance, and Miss
Treceda's wondering envy, had more of an
influence ON her than she was herself aware
Of
Her first feeling over Natalie's coming had
been one of Joy only, but now pride began
to enter it largely and with it sense of per-
sonal superiority.
If by degrees she carried herself little
more haughtily, it was because she really felt
herself considerably better than her home as
sociates, who had not been fortunate enough
to make such fine social alliance.
When Natalie arrived, she at once recap
tured all hearts in the Fordham family by
her sunny temper and artless ways.
And the Fordham house soon became the
rendezvous of all the young people in Miri-
ANS set.
Natalie's beauty was loudly praised, and
her riches recounted until the original half
million had swelled into two millions or
more.
'What a belle Natalie isl" said Miriam to
her mother. Everybody Is talking of her
and admiringg her, and yet she doesn't seem
to know it."
'I think people like her, not because she
is rich, but because she is lovable," her moth
err answered.
One morning, the girls were on their way
down town for some shopping.
'There is one thing haven't done yet" :"
said Natalie, in a compunctious tone. 81
haven't been to see Aunt Theodosa's friend.
We've had such good times, I'd almost for
gotten it, and don't know just how to find
her"
Couldn't we go this afternoon?' asked
Miriam eve can look up her name in the
directory and go right after luncheon"
'Very WELL" answered Natalie. "Auntie
was so anxious about it! 1t seems there is
sad history in it all. She and Aunt Theo
were girls together. Then troubles came
upon her, her property was swept away, and
auntie lost sight of her. 1t was only just
before 1 came away that auntie learned she
was living in Chicago, and she wanted me to
seek her out"
They had reached Vizier's store. They
wanted trimmings, and were soon before a
counter with display of beautifully-wrough
fabrics in front of them.
They made their selection, and were just
moving on, when little, thin lady, in deep
black, approached Miriam with extended
hands and frightening smile on her face.
Miriam loked at her in astonishment for
a minute, paid no attention to the proffered
hands, but bowed with studied coldness and
moved on.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-30

A flush came into the woman's cheeks at
Miriam's rebuff, the red surging painfully over
her forehead and making the veins stand out
like cords.
'''Who is she?" asked Natalie, who had
noticed all this.
Miriam's color had heightened, too, greatly
against her will
81 don't know why she should be SO glad
acquaintance-tha iis not now. Yet you'd
think by her manner we were bosom friends. .
What could be her motive in presuming!
Who is she?"
."Why, years age. she, was a teacher in
Madame Hartwicke's school, and l haven't
seen her since. I had utterly forgotten her.
How could 1 expect such gushing greet
"Were you in her classes?"
"I think-I may have been. At any rate,
"She looks very sad. I'm afraid she felt
"Really Natalie, didn't mean to treat
her rudely. But what right had she to make
you believe she was such an intimate friend?
You must think I associate with queer peo-
pie"
"Oh, no!' said Natalie, softly. 81 didn't
see anything queer about her. / only saw
she looked careworn and sorrowful."
Unkind impulses were new to Miriam.
"I've been spoiled" she thought in her
heart, because Natalie is so rich and the
girls have envied me So"
Aloud she said:
"Ill go back, now, Natalie, and make
amends. S1'll shake both her hands and ask
her to tea," laughing nervously.
They retraced their way through the
throngs along the counters, but the little
woman in black had disappeared.
Natalie had been much touched by the whole
occurrence.
"What is her name?" she pursued after
silence of some length.
"Miss Connable, believe"
"Connable Why, that is the name of
Aunt Theodosia's friend Alice Connable."
'Let's don't talk of her." said Miriam,
irritably 'I remember now that / never
particularly liked her, She was very poky
and old-maidish, and she did so upset me
lust now by acting 80 glad to see me-"
This incident had marred the brightness of
the morning for both Natalie was silent
and subdued, and Miriam dreadfully ashamed.
After they got home and had luncheon Ma
aIf you're not too tired, Miriam, suppose
we follow out our plan of this morning
I've had feeling, ever since / saw that
shadowy little woman with her hands like
birds claws, that she is the Alice Connable
Aunt Theo wants Inc to find"
Miriam felt that she never wanted to hear
Miss Connable's name again. But she was
not willing to say so, and they set out to-
gether.
They found the name in the directory with
out difficulty.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-30

The street was ar obscure one on the west
side. On their way thither they scarcely
spoke.
When they arrived at the number, they
were told Miss Connable had back room
up two flights They ascended and knocked
at her door.
Miss Connable opened it.. She flushed even
mere painfully than she had done at Mi
ram s rudeness in tho morning.
Come in, Miss Fordham," she said. Then,
hesitatingly, "You did not know me this
morning; oI l presume I am changed"
Il did know YOU" said Miriam, frankly,
to oeg your pardon. l don't know why 1
should have SO forgotten myself Mamma
did" ~ '"
Never mind it now. Will you sit down
here? Mother has just fallen asleep, and l
am, am careful not to disturb her; she gets SO
little rest"
She indicated that her mother was behind
curtain that was drawn entirely across
one end of the ROOM
They spoke in half whispers.
"Is your mother i'll ?"
"Yes; she has been feeble for great while.
She hardly gets any sleep at ALL"
Natalie was full of her own errand

know Theodosia Brainerd" she asked.
'Theodosia Brainerd? Oh, yes, very well,

She had lost track of you these many years,
and only heard indirectly that you were in
Chicago. She, charged me to be sure and

Questions and answers followed in quick
succession.
Presently voice behind the screen called

"No, mother drawing aside the curtain.

frightening smile, chat l shall soon be

Miss Connable was standing at the head of
the bed. Miriam noticed the muscles of her
chin quiver and her throat contract, as If a
sob had been choked back into her breast.
They stayed by the bedside until they were
afraid she would be overtaxed, and then rose
to 60.
Miriam was full of remorse. When they
reached the door she drew Miss Connable
aside and whispered:
"Oh forgive me! You have so much trou.

turn your head. Natalie is a lovely girl for
her own sake. | suspect the tale of the

her place on the Hudson is like castle, and
that the family is tremendous"
..In what way is it 'tremendous?
"Oh, in being so rich! Natalie herself
never told me anything about it, except about
took when she had garden party"
''Well, simply be yourself, Miriam. If
Natalie lives in castle, she will like change
to simpler ways. Princesses always do, you
know"
Miriam could not help being foolishly agi-
tated over the discovery that her friend and
guest that was to be, was a person Of 80
much distinction.
"Have everything very nice, won't you,
mamsie?" she said, coaxingly, as she tripped
away.
Miriam and Natilie had met the summer
before at little town on the coast, where
the old Brainerd homestead had been, and
which the two elderly invalid ladies of the
family liked for its quiet and for early asso-
citation.
The Fordhams had sought the same place
because, with large family of children, it
was economical as well as quiet. The two
families were the only strangers summering
there.
Natalie and Miriam were of the same age,
and had formed an immediate and ardent
friendship.
1t had never occurred to Miriam to be
awed by the Brainerds, who were entirely
simple and unostentatious Natalie's beauty
and sweetness had been great delight to
her.
When they came to separate, Miriam had
begged and obtained from the aunts a prom
Use that Natalie should make her visit some
time during the winter.
After reaching home, she had been one
day detailing her summer "fun" to a group
of friends.

toned.

Miss Treceda, an ambitious and supercilious
girl.

KILLED AT HIS DESK.
FORMER RESIDENT OF SCOTLAND NECK
MYsTERIOUsLY SHOT.

The following special from Rocky
Mount to the News and Observer Sept.
l, will interest the readers of THE CON-
MoNwEALTH. 1t tells OF the myster-
lous shooting of Mr.. Hyman, former
resident of Scotland Neck:
"Rocky Mount, N. c., Sept. This
morning at 2 :15 Mr.. A. P. Hyman,
book.keeper for Matthews, Weeks 4
Co., while sitting on high stool in
the Office at work was shot from the
outside of the building by unknown
parties. The ball came through an
open window and struck Mr.. Hyman
In the right side, evidently ranging
downward in the region of the heart.
He only lived short while after be-
ing shot. Two night policemen,
fifty yards away, heard the report OF
the pistol. They hurried to the
spot, went into the Office and found
Mr.. Hyman in dying condition.
"rhere Is division of opinion as to
how Mr.. Hyman was shot, some think
that be was shot by some party stand
ing on the ground out side the win
dow, but the theory adopted by the
police, "a that he was shot from the
top OF moving freight train going
North at that hour. AS many as
four or five men were seen by the
police on the top of the train. Tele-
grams were sent to all stations up the
| line to Weldon to look out for
suspicious parties, but nothing has
been heard.
"Mr. Lyman recently came here from
Tarboro to tale position with the
Rocky Mount ice factory, but was en-.
ployed for q few days by Matthews,
| Weeks & Co. 1t is not known why
he was working on the books at such a
late hour, except that he expected
his two boys from Tarboro to visit
him tonight, and wanted to get his
books up to be with his boys; and
again it being the first of the month
he had a good deal of work to balance
the books.
"Mr. Hyman was a we'll known mar
of high character and integrity. Hi
home for several years was in Tar
boro. He left Tarboro some year
ago, went to Scotland Neck and en-
gagged in the hardware business. HI
came back to Tarboro four year
ago, where he lived until he came t,
Rocky Mount few weeks ago. HI
was about so years OF age, and wa
Mason of high standing. Their
WAS no inquest. The body was pre-
pared for interment early this mornin
and taken to Tarboro on the shoofy."

TO HALIFAX FARMERS.
DOUBLE-OAK5 FARM.

CHARLOTTE, n. c., Aug. 30, 1906.
Editor COMMONWEALTH 1t is bard
ly worth while to call the attention
OF your readers to the great good the
Southern Cot ton Association has been
to Halifax county.
The fifteen year old boy or girl can
see the good work of the association,
the farmer feels the good 1t has done
Tor him, the business man OF your
county will tell you he has never be-
fore enjoyed such business prosperity,
he will tell you that the Association
has added to the spending money the
past eighteen months fully 100000.
This amount OF money has found its
way to the pocket of the banker, mer-
chant, mechanic, doctor, preacher,
lawyer and day lsborer. Each has had
his proportion and each one is indebted
to the Cotton Association for the pros
porous times we have had.
There is now on very great fight
which means destruction to our pres
ent prosperous condition. The spec u
lators are drying down the price CT cot
ton day after day, they seem bent on
taking the next crop from us at cents
or less.
What will Halifax county do to
drive the spectators off of our prosper,
Gus and happy South?
We want full attendance at every
township club, want every man in the
township to Join In the fight against
the spectators. This is not farmers
meeting or fight, it Is a matter that
appeals to every citizen who lives In
Halifax county; therefore, let every
one take part and denounce the rob
Der speculator who would drive you tt
poverty and want.
We want to price our cotton, we d.
not want the Spectator to name the
price.
Everybody should think of the dis
tress low priced cotton will bring
ga word to the wise should be suffici
ent."

county will soon be dotted with bros
porous towns and vlllaEes.
WY hlNE SPRINGS.

wv FINE SIHlNGS.
We spent short while at Chaly-
beate Springs around which we played
as a school-boy, but the chil1ren did
not think is water good. Now IT Is
regarded as among Trio host mineral
waters at a'7, aud it is becoming pop
ular resort.
We spent night at Fud nay Springs
in Wake county :: tne Junction OF the
Durham. and Northern and the Raj
c!gh and Southport railroads. These
springs have long been regarded as
fine. Even before the war people re-
sorted there for the water, and we were
told that the little stone curling
around the spring is the same that
was placed there before the war. This
place ie SO popular the boarding houses
are barely able to accommodate all
who CO. Fare Is good at the boarding
houses, but one is disappointed at the
little improvement about the spring.
There seems to be little pride taken in
the appearance OF the grounds. By ma
ture it is a prettyplace, but there has
not been much done to help natures
own work. 1t is said that this state Of
affairs Is due to the fact that the true
ownership OF the property is
in question, and that soon 1t is to be
settled and then the grounds will be
beautified and be made more attractive.
Without doubt the water is fine.
POOR TRAIN SCHEDULES.
Almost every train on the railroads
is late,and this is especially true OF the
Seaboard Air Line. 1t is quite COM
mon thing for the trains on this road
to be two or three hours late and one
often can't come from Raleigh to Scot
land Neck the same day. 1t looks like a
great railroad system could remedy
these matters which cause the public
so much inconvenience.
By reason OF belated train On our
return Monday we had to spend the
night at Weldon, but at Mrs. Wilkins
boarding house We were comfortably
quartered and we'll provided for.
We tailed to say above that the little
town of Apex, about fifteen miles from
Raleigh, is making rapid strides in de-
velopment. The tobacco industry has
just been greatly encouraged by the
opening OF a good tobacco market
there, and the town now has the best
throb in business it has ever had.
1t gives us pleasure to say that we
met fine young lawyer from -four
lshing town in Piedmont Carolina who
said that If he had to select small
town in North Carolina for his home,
his first choice would be Scotland Neck
