CHAPTER XVIII

Charles Baumgarten sat in his cham
bers enjoying an animated discussion with
his friend, Jephson, the great chancery
lawyer. About a week had gone by since
Charles had come home from the circuit
and held that momentous interview with
Mary Dynevor which had been broken in
upon by the subdean. Mary had now
gone, with some friends, to Brighton for
change of air, and Charles was, so to
say, bachelor at large again. The
change from despair to hope had so elated
him that he had somewhat rashly likened
it TO Elysium. But now a certain ugly
looking bill for eighty-one pounds, bear
ing Charles acceptance, had been pre-
scented to him for payment.
Charles declined to pay it, on the
ground that he had not accepted it, He
rcpudiated the bill altogether. 1t was
held by that eminent legal firm, Godfrey
& Herbert Jephson; the latter of whom
had now come to Pump Court in person,
bringing the bill with him.
Il never saw it in my life until to-
day." protested Charles Baumgarten.

"One plant at least has been patent
ed" said an inventor. 1T is the Abrus
precatorius, alias paternoster pea, alias
weather plant. John Nowack took out
the patent. The weather plant is still
believed by many persons to foretell
the weather. John Nowack was sure it
did so, and he put it on the market
along with an indicating apparatus,
guaranteeing it to foretell for forty
eight hours in advance and for fifty
miles around fog, rain, snow, hail,
earthquake and depressions likely to
cause explosions of fire damp. Alas
for poor Nowackl The experts of the
bureau of agriculture took up his pat
ented plant. They proved that the
movements Of the leaves-to the right
foretelllng rain, to the left foreteliing
drought-were not caused by the
weather, but by the light. And they
proved that the plants famous down.
ward movement, which was supposed
to foretell earthquake, was caused by
an insect that punctured the stem, caus-
ing the leaf, naturally, to droop. That
is the only patented plant 1 know of,
and Nowack lost money on It."

to be no further dependence upon the
chances of the seasons for the enrich

ans mammoth reservoirs, the fertiliz-
ing flood could be released whenever
needed. The Nile crops would be per-
feet and the people happy each year,
instead of at such intervals as the
within of the river willed.
All the nations applauded England
when the work that was to make
Egypt land of plenty was completed.
But nature had not been consulted
with sufficient care. And to-day the

New Use For A Steer.
Moore County Eews.)


Our friend, Dick Fry, owns steer
that he often uses as substitute
for buggy horse, and he makes a
good one, too, for he has the style,
the gait and the staying qualities of
thoroughbred.
Not long since Dick and his son and
Kinnie Mckenzie hitched Buck (the
steer) to the buggy and went to
Pierce McKenzie's pond fishing.
Uncle Ben Clegg, who knows as much
as Ben McIver about everything, and
probably little more about fishing.
told Dick that as the steer worked so
we'll to the buggy that it would be a
great saving of time and labor to
hitch him to the boat and let him
pull them around the pond.
Dick at once saw that Uncle Ben's
idea was bright one, and accord
ingly adopted it, and hitched Buck
in.
The steer took to the water like
duck, and worked like charm.
Buck pulled the boat here and
there, about the pond, and finally,
when up about the head of the pond
settled down to give Dick and Kinnie
a chance to do some scientific fish
ing,
And the way the fish bit was a
caution. Dick and Kinnie and the
boy pulled them out as fast as they
could drop in their hooks, until final
ly the boat got so full of fish that
there was great danger of sinking,
so they all struck out for the shore,
Buck pulling for all he was worth,
and Kinnie and Dick a pushing for
more than they were worth, while
the boy remained in the boat stand
ing-by" the fish.
At last they reached the shore
with boat load of fish, and when
old Buck walked up the bank it was
found that 20 large turtles were
hanging on to him.

Gold on Farms.

(Southern Farm Magazine
There is much actual gold still to
be discovered in the South, but the
cotton grown annually by that section
is worth far more than all the gold
and silver produced in the world in
the same time. Between 1901 and
1906, for instance, tn total value OF
the worlds gold and silver output
was $2,6O6. 686, 400, and the total
value of the cotton including seed,
in the same period, was 1859, OOO,-
600. difference in favor of cotton
in the six years of 81, O62, 313, 500.
The total value of corn wheat and
oats, raised in the South, in the ten
years from 1897 to 1906 was more
than $3.50, 100000. These figurse
indicate that the men who are rails
ing the cotton to clothe and the corn
to feed the glod and silver miners
have the advantage over the latter.
Flowing for gold is much more pro-
fitable than digging for gold.

High Point An Example.
charlotte News.j

High Point furniture and wood
working plants ship on an average
of 60 cars of furniture per day, year
in and year out, or $3.50 a month
of 26 working days, or 18, 72O a year
of 312 working days. Such are the
figures just given out. 1t is also
stated that two factories alone ship
ped 1913 carloads Of manufactured
goods last month. One hundred
wagons are kept busy every day
handling the manufactured products.
These figures will probably be a
great surprise to all persons who are
not familiar with what is going on
in High Point, one of the most pro-
gressive towrs of he State. There
are now about so furniture and wood
working plants in High Point and
each year these plants bring thous-
ands and millions of dollars into that
town, to be distributed among its
citizens. The value of these manu-
factories is almost inestimable.
Ten or fifteen years ago High Point
was little more than a crossroads
postoffice. Then it was that ener-
getic, hustling men saw the oppor-
tunity, being at the door of the vast
timber supply of that section, to
build up a furniture manufacturing
town surprising any other in the
United States. If this has not been
accomplished it will be in the near
future, for High Point is never salts
fled to rest on it's oars. AS furni-
ture manufacturing center it is only
surpassed by Grand Rapids, Mich,
and soon it will have no rival in its
line.
This is only partial glimpse of one
of the best towns in the state. There
are others, but none more deserving
Editor ]. J. Farriss, who has done
much to further the interests of his
home city, will soon issue a 6O-page
illustrated edition, showing up the
many features of this progressive
live and active little city.
The example of High Point should
be lesson to Charlotte and other
towns of the State. High Point has
no natural advantages that are denied
the Queen City. She is denied many
advantages that we are PERMITTED tt
enjoy.
What we need is more small indus
tries, of different kinds. We can gel
them if we do our part. High Point
is shining example of what they
mean to any city.

being cantaloupes, watermelons and
cotton, not counting hay, corn, peas,
etc., the net amount being 500, 900, or
$4,000 to each horse Mr.. Cobb asks:
Can any of the Marlboro farmers

Can anybody beat that?
