unhoped-for. All for Little Son-the
little, dainty things that mothers
coyet and dream over.
The Square was a nice-oh, a nice
mani It was good, good, good Of him
to do it, To leave it for the baby,
in his darling little fist He had ad-
mired Little Son so much; Of course
that was why. What other reason
could he have? she got no further
than that, for suddenly, like a thun-
derbolt, came enlightenment. 1t blind
ed her. She felt dizzy in the grip Of
it.
That was why. Now she under
stood. 1t was plain enough-plain
enough now. And she had thought it
was Little Son! She had maundered
on about what a nice man-oh, nice
man, the Square was! He had ad-
mired the baby so much-that was

Sabra Card was a woman of hot i'm

dropped back into her rocker and sat
very still. The baby went to sleep.
"Ollie'l take you're advice; he'd do
anything to please you, anyway. Elk
cept-well, hasn't he done that for
most a year? Doesn't that show how
much he'd do for you? There's no
body on Windy Hill loves his wife
more than Ollie loves you, Think of
the way he nurses you through your
bad spells"
sabra was thinking. As plainly as
she had seen Little Son riding in red
plush state she saw Ollie now sitting
beside her bed helping her through
her days of pain. She saw his ten.

VAST WEALTH OF THE SOUTH.
In Natural Resources That Section is
Supreme.

To its coal supply, more than twice
as great as the combined coal area
of Great Britain, Germany and Pens-
sylvinia; to it's vast stores of oil anil
natural gas as supplementary sources
of water powers for utilizatiC /
of mower and heat and light the South
adds at least 3,000,0 900 available horse
of water powers for utilization
for electrical transmission, also for
mower. heat and light. The develop
ment of this vast water power poten-
tiality will eventually employ $780,
600. 900 to $500, 900, 900 and be equal in
working capacity to 100000 men. 1t
will make possible construction of
thousands of miles of interurban elec-
trio roads. it will furnish cheap power
and light for mines and factories, and
create. as in Switzerland, the highest
forms of skilled mechanical work in
the mountains of the South, where
climatic conditions are unsurpassed
nv anv other section of the world. In
counting I'D the riches of the South al
WAYS hear in mind it's wealth of ever
running streams, where nature fur
inishes the power without price except
for the cost of development.-Manu7

FACTS ABOUT FIGURE NINE.
of the Occult Has Added a
New Wrinkle.

Mathematlcians have juggled with
the mystic figures 8, Z and 9 for ages,
and now m a foreign professor"
OF the occult science to tell fortune
by the force in a simple numeral'-
the 8. He reminds his victims that il
they multiply any number, short OF a
decimal, by 8 the two figures of the
product added together will make 8,
Thus: Nine times 2 are IS, and s and
l are 8; 8 times 8 are 27, and z and 2
are 8; 8 times 5 are As, and 5 and 4
are 8; 8 times 6 are 54, and 4 and 5
are 8; 8 times Z are GO, and 8 and 6
are s.; 9 times 8 are 72, and 2 and z
are 8; 8 time 9 are 81, and l and 8 are
g.. He might have added that any
number in the hundreds of thousands
multiplied by 9 will give a product
the sum of whose digits is a multiple
of 8. Take at random-9 times $40
are 1905, the sum of which is IS, and
9 into IS goes 2 times. Take 1852
multiplied by 9 equals &C, 1861; the sum
of the digits is 81; 9 into q goes
8 times. Oh, there is an immense
amount of fun in 8.

MADE THEM ALL LAUGH.
Book Must Have Been Funny, but No
One Knew What Is Was.

1t must have been a very funny
story! The type looked funny from
across the aisle of the car, the pic
lures looked funny, and the young
lady who was reading it doubled up
in fits of stifed laughter every few
minutes. The young man in the seat
with her could not help stealing a
glance at the pages of the book which
was evidently so funny, but whose
cover was carefully doubled back out
of sight, and soon he began to laugh
as he unblushingly followed the story
page after page, shaking with sup
pressed merriment.
The m in the seat at right an
giles became interested and looked
over the girls shoulder. Presently
her face b~roadened into a grin and
soon she was convulsively shaking.
The mar in the seat across smiled at
the scene. A boy a few seats down
the aisle grinned alphabetically. A
darby still further down showed all
his white teeth. The contagion spread
until the car was nearly on the verge
of Mysteries, when the fair reader got
up to leave the train, yet no one but
the girl herself had any idea as to
what the book was.
