 The doctor was whispering in doc tors way to Ariel at the end of the room opposite the bed when the three old fellows came in. None of them spoke immediately, and, though all three cleared their throats with what they meant for casual cheerfulness to indicate that the situation was not at all extraordinary or depressing, 1t was to be seen that the colonels chin trem- bled under hls mustache, and his com rades showed similar small and unwill- ing signs of emotion.
 Eskew spoke first. "Well, boys? he said and smiled.
 That seemed to make it more difficult | for the others. The three white heads bent silently over the fourth upon the pillow, and Ariel saw waveringly, for her eyes suddenly filled, that the colo mel laid his unsteady hand upon Eskew's, which was outside the cover | let.
 "It's-its not,' said the old soldier gentl:-'it's not on-on both sides, is it, Eskew"
 Mir. Arp moved his hand slightly in answer. Tt ain't paralysis" he said. "They call 1t shock and exhaustion, but it's more than that. It's just my time. I've heard the call. We've all been slidin' on thin ice this long time and it's broke under me- 1 ''Eskew, Eskew.' remonstrated Pe- ter Bradbury. You'd oughtn't to talk that-a-way!

 'No, Eskew." | "well. you're not doin' it nowv'
 Two tears suddenly loosed them selves from Squire Buckalews eyelids i despite his hard endeavor to wink them away, and he turned from the bed too late to conceal what had happened. "There ain't any call to feel bad" said Eskew. Tt might have happened any time-ln the night, maybc-at my house-and all alone-but here's Airie Tabor brought me to her own home and takin' care Of me.

 A moment later he called the doctor faintly and asked for restorative. "There," he said in a stronger voice and with gleam of satisfaction in the vindication of his belief that he was dying. q was almost gone then. l knoww He lay panting for moment, then spoke the name of Joe Louden.

 "Do it again." said Eskew. T want to see you"
 And Joe, making shift to smile, was suddenly blinded, so that he could not see the wrinkled hands extended to him and was fain to grope for them. ! (To be Continued.)

that 1t was a friend whose life was sought, discovered similarity to his own case and prayed to his dim gods that the quarry might get away.
 Mad dog!' they yelled. Mad dog" And there were some who cried, "Joe Louden's dogw that being equally as exciting and explanatory.
 Three times round. and still the lit tie fugitive maintained lead. A gray helmeted policeman, big fellow, had joined the pursuit He had children at home who might be playing in the street, and the thought of what might happen to them if the mad dog should head that way resolved him to be cool and steady. He was falling behind. so he stopped on the corner, trusting that Responsibility would come round again. He was right, and the flying brownish thing strcaked along Main street, pass ing the beloved stairway for the fourth time. The policeman lifted his re- volver, fired twice, missed once, but caught him with second shot in a forepaw, clipping off fifth toe, one of the small claws that grow above the foot and are always in trouble. This did not stop him, but the police man, afraid to risk another shot be- cause of the crowd, waited for him to come again, and many others, seeing the hopeless circuit the mongrel fol- lowed, did likewise, armed with bricks and clubs. Among them was the piIl- ply clerk, who had been inspired to commander a pitchfcrk from hard ware store.
 When the fifth round came Respecta- tility's race was run. He turned into Main street at broken speed, limping. parched, voiceless, flecked with blood and foam. snapping feebly at the showering rocks. but still indomitably little ahead of the hunt. There was no yelp left in him-he was too thor oughly winded for that - but in his brilliant and despairing eyes shone the agony of a cry louder than the tongue of a dog could utter-"O master, O all the god know, where are you in my mortal need"
 Now indeed he had a gantlet to run. for the street was lined with those who awaited him, while the pur- suit grew closer behind. A number of the hardest stood squarely in his path, and he hesitated for second, which gave the opportunity for surer aim. and many missiles struck him.

 But before the revolver could be dis charged Responsibility had begun to run again, hobbling on three legs and lodging feebly. A heavy stone struck him on the shoulder, and he turned across the street, making for the Ma tional House corner, where the joyful clerk brandished his pitchfork. Going slowly, he almost touched the pimply one as he passed. and the clerk. al- 1 ready rehearsing in his mind the hon. ors which should follow the brave stroke, raised the tines above the little dogs head for the coup de grace. They did not descend. and the daring youth failed of fame as the laurel almost en- stick was thrust between his legs, and

MEETING IS CALLED
SOUTHERN LEAGUE OFFICIALS TO
 MEET IN ATLANTA.
Change in Present Circuit of Eight Clubs Will Be Acted On--MO- bile Will Receive Unan-
 imOus Support.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 24.-(Special. ) The annual meeting of the Southern League has been called for Atlanta December 14. President Kavanaugh has made this announcement in a let ter to managers and directors.
 The meeting will be the most inn portant held in years. A change in the present circuit of eight will be one of the questions acted upon. Mo bile has already asked for concessions to be msde by the Southern League according to President Kavanaughs official bulletin, which is taken to in- dicate that the practical demand of s2500 made by the Cotton States League for Mobiles release from mem- bership as stipulete in an~srtticle in the national agreement, will engage attention from the Southern League fathers when they convene In At lanta.
 President Kavanaugh will leave Lit tie Rock for New York several days prior to the Atlanta meeting. to at- tend meeting of the National Board of which he Is a member. He will return via Atlanta. It Is anticipated here that Mobile will have unanimous Support of the so-called eastern clubs
 in the Southern circuit in the contem- plated shift from Shreveport to Mo- bile. and that Chattanooga will re- ceive support if any representatives appear to purchase Little Rocks fran- Chise.

At Rally Day Services Members DiS- cussed Work Done and PIans0 For the Future-WiIl In-
 crease Missionery Fund.

Many matters of importance to the con- gregation of the First Presbyterian Church were taken up at the Rally Day Services at that church yesterday morning, The day was a great success in every way, and tn promise of sur prises for the members was more than fulfilled.
 The proposition of acquiring, as the site for a new house of worship for the congregation, the Beauvoir Club lot, or the lot on which stands the Y w. c. A. building was suggested to the congregation, but no definite action was taken. Plans for some such step will be taken up in detail at some full session of the church later in the year
 The matter of sending missionaries to the foreign mission field was discuss ed at some length. Figures read to the congregation showed exactly the amount of work which the First Church Is now doing in this cause, and the matter of raising the donation of each member was earnestly urged.
 Two members of the church. it was announced. had agreed to give $1,2O0 to be used for the support O missionaries the other members of the congregation, to be devoted to home mission work in Alabama.
 No definite action was taken en this question at the Rally Day services. but if is expected the session of the church will take the matter in hand and en- .deavor to comply with the conditions. and thus secure the donation.

 SMALL CROP Director Seymour Gives Out Figures. BASED ON BALES GINNED Estimates Not Over Eleven Millions
 fer Entire Yield. statistics are Based on Per Centage of Product Reported Ginned to
 November 14, Compared
 to Previous Years \ | Average.

Hon. ". H. Seymour, Director of the Alabama Bureau of Statistics. has gtv- en out some figures on the cotton crop of the South. which he has gleaned from various official reports of the Government, by which he arrives at the year 1907 will be somewhere between p,042.S60 and s11,094.3SS bales. This estimate is under those which have been heretofore submitted.
 Mir. Seymour has gathered together the figures on theN total crop. exclud- ing liiIters, for each of the past four years--1903. 1904. 1905 and 1906. He has then taken the Government figures on the reports of cotton ginned up to November If of each year, and found that those figures indicated that dur ing each of the four years in question from 65.s to 72S per cent. of the en- tire crop had been ginned before Mo- vember
 Accepting as basis the recent Gov ernment report that 7,311,202 bales had been ginned up to November 14 of this year and figuring the extreme per- centages of the entire crop during the past four years. as the extreme per centages of the total crop for this year that has already been ginned, Mir. Sey- inour arrives at the figures given as the total crop.
 tHe nSu tfOm the GOVetument re- ports upon which MT. Seymour bases his reasoning. for each ofAthe past four years, are as follows:
 1903--nntire crop. excfuding Iinters, s9S19.969 bales; ginned to November 14, 6,S15,162 bales; per centage of en- tire crop ginned to November14, 694.
 fso4-Entire crop. 13.45i.337 bales; ginned to November fl, 9.7s6,64s bales; per centage, 72.s.
 1so5-Entire crop. lo,4s5,1os bales; ginned to November IA, 7.501,f80 bales; per centage, 71.5.
 1s06-Entire crop 12,sss,201 bales; ginned to November 14, s.562,242 bales; per centage, 65.9.
 Iso7-Ginned to November +, 7.a11-, POP bales.
 From these figures. n appears that during the four years preceding the present crop, the reports show that during 1904 the largest per centage of the crop had been ginned up to Mo- vember 14. being 72.S per cent. The smallest per centage, 65.9, ginned up to November IA, was in 1908.
 Applying these two per centages as extremes to the figures given by the Government as the total number of bales ginned up to November IA, 1t Is found that if only 65.9 per cent. of the crop had been ginned up to No- vember if of this year, the total crop would be f1,o94.SsS baless, if 72.s per cent had been ginned up to November IA, the crop would amount to only 1O,- 042, S60 bales.
 Applying 699 per cent. as the propor- tion ginned up to that date, that fig- ure being the average of the percent ages for the four years, the crop will amount to 10,459.513 bales.
