TWIN STARS

Jim Smith had to go south to
prolong his life. A strenuous ca
reer on morning paper, accom-
panied by the appropriateness of the
Bohemian, had worked inroads into
his constitution.
So he concluded, when the physi-
clans told him he needed a change
of air and surroundings, to visit
some distant relatives in Kentucky.
Smith was bright in an intermit-
tent sort of way, and sometimes
turned out stuff that got him rep
utation of being a good reporter.
Accordingly, when he declared his
intention of leaving, the office force
expressed its customary regrets,
bid him farewell and then dug more
deeply into the daily trials of a
newspaper Office.
Twelve hours later Smith alight-
ed at little station in the foothills
of the Kentucky mountains. A
Cumberland sunrise cheered the
loneliness that came to him as he
stepped forth into exhilerating air.
At a neighboring farm house, ex-
plantations and 5000 got him horse

rode away, feeling that ahead of
him might still be long life and
happiness.
The roadway twined around the
hills, and shadows of night had not
all taken fight when he passed a
camp fire and two men suddenly
stepped in his path.

roadway.

From out of thicket came the
shadowy figure of a young girl
With a sob of sympathy she stoop
ed over the still form of Smith, and
struggled down the road with it.
Days later Smith awoke with a
