of a girl, too!
Il will find TO tame her. when

heaven, but it will be rare sport TO
break that fiery spirit, 1t will make
me young again"
Something white and shadowy bound
his path. A spectral hand vas laid on
his arm. chilling like ice, even through
his clothing. The CHASTITY face of a
woman-a face framed in jet black hair
and lit up by great black eyes bright
as stars, glanced through the mirk OF
the night.
The man ga2ed into the weird face,
and shook like a leaf in the blast. His
arm sank nerveless to his side, palsied
by that frozen touch, his voice was so
unnatural that he started at the sound.
MY God! Arabel We're! Do the
dead come back"
The great unnaturally brilliant eyes
seemed to burn into his brain. The
cold hand frightened on his arm. A
breath like wind freighted with snow
crossed his face.
Speak, for heavens sake" he cried.
Am l dreaming"
Remember the banks OF the Seine!"
said a singularly sweet voice, which
sounded to Mr.. Paul Linmere as If it
came from leagues and leagues away.
When you sit by the side of the living
love, remember the dead! Think Of
the dark rolling river, and of what its
waters covered"
He started from the strange pres
ence. and caught at a post for support.
His self-possession was gone; he trem-
bed like the most abject coward. Only
for a moment-and then, when he
looked again. the spparition had van
ished.

THE TAMPA BR ANCH
OF A. B. & A. WILL BE
PUSHED TO THOMAS
VILE.

That the A., B. & A. proposes
to have two great outlets is now
assured. This from the Balm
bridge Tribune will just now be
of interest, since it shows that
the new system will have a
short cut' to Cuba by way of
Tampa.
The reported resignation Of
Capt. w. B. Denham as pu blish-
ed exclusively ia the Tribune
yesterday was the general topic
of conversation On the streets
and there was much regret ex-
pressed that be should contem-
plate leaving Baipbridge where
he has endearef himself to so
many. There is a confirmation
of the report.
TT is said that he will go from
here to Tampa, where he will be
manager of the new road that IS
being built from there in a north
.ern direction. It is said that
this road is to be operated in
conjunction with the A B. & A.
This road will mplete the link
from Atlanta to the sea that has
been agitated so much in the last
year. Whether the line will be
built from Thomasvllle south or
from Waycross is a mooted
question.
IF the road is extended from
Thomasville it will run through
section of country that is rich
in forest products and there is
also much fertile lands on the
proposed route. This would be
thickly settled in time and make
the extension valuable after the
timber has been cut. The ex-
tension from Waycross would
extend through a country from
which the timber has been cut
and where the lands are not so
productive.

and consider your work in relation

yourself whether your work is fur

True, the missionary helped to create
a market for the American packers

tives, and sundry ether forms of mer-

money, profited not at all by this.
Apparently, the. missionaries them
