stupidity into the sun-bronzed face
above her. 1t was broad day, and the
yellow sunlight, falling on her tangled
hair, discovered a whole nest of opals

How did you know?" she asked,
wonderingly, brushing her hand
across her eyes as though to clear
away a mist.
Rochester laughed heartily, but
more as an outlet to the pent-up strain
of the past few hours than from any
special feeling of amusement.
"Did-did anyone send you?" She
looked at him with a dawning chal-
lenge in her eyes.
Rochester dropped down on the
sand beside her before he answered.

have said II am watching every

dence forbade.
For some time after he had spoken,
Kitty sat silent staring with wide,
somewhat angry eyes at the tiny white
caps in the distance.

marked shortly, after a bit.
Rochester frowned, digging his
tanned fingers clumsily in the sand.

Kitty came back TO herself with a
little shiver The sky that an hour
ago had glowed crimson. with all the
dazzling gold lights of an Indian
summer afternoon in Florida, reflect
ed only the palest violet shadows,
deepening gradually 10 a dull drab.
As she looked, the gray merged swift
ly into black and one by one the stars
blinked out, shedding a ghastly light
over the rippleless surface of the bay.
How long she had been drifting,
Kitty could never have told, but when
she reached for her oars one was
missing. and strain her eyes as she
would. only the shining, speckless wa
ter laughed back in the starlight.
A sudden panic seized her. What
should she do? Three full miles at
least from the place she had started,
with only the barren shore of Santa
Rosa behind her-even supposing she
could be lucky enough to reach that!
There was no landing anywhere In
sight. and IS feet from the beach she
ran aground in the soft white sand.
Moorng her skin to the solitary post
that stood relic of half a decade ago.
she removed her shoes. and lifting her
skirts from contact with the water,
plunged in.
The moon broke suddenly round and
clear and full, hanging suspended from
the sky like a globe of liquid gold.
Kitty sat down weakly on a heaped-up
bank of sand and looked out to sea,
Her lips we're trembling helplessly
now and the color was quite gone from
her face.
Would they come or send for her?
1t was very likely not. She had left
word at home not to expect her before
morning, as she had intended staying
the night at a friends house. Some
how, the thought of spending alone
this of all nights-the one that was
to have been her wedding eye-was
intolerable.
And nowl She should not only
spend It alone. but in utter terror anC
desolation. For hours she lay there
with wide-open eyes, her heart throb
bing almost to suffocation. a thousand
emotions making tumult in her weary
/ brain.
But by-and-by the salient breath o.

nostrils; the moon sank gracefully be

There is some complaint coming
from the mail carriers that the
houses in the city are not numbered
sufficiently to enable them to deliver
the mail properly. One of the requi-
sites in securing free delivery was
that the houses of the city should be
numbered. A great many new houses
have been built in the past year or
two that are without numbers and
the work of the mail carriers could
be greatly facilitated if the numbers
were put On. Patrons on the carrier
routes should notify their CORES
pondents to always place the street
and number on letters or papers.

REALM OF THE IMAGINATION.

 I believe that the noblest forms of imaginative power arei n some sort un- of the character of dreams. so that the vision, of whatever kind, comes uncallei, and will not submit itself to the seer. imaginative power are in some sort un- speak as a prophet, having no power over his words of thoughts. Only, if the mind calm, consistent and powerful the vision which comes to him is seen as in a perfect mirror. serenely and in con sistence with the rational powers; but if the mind be imperfect. and ill-trained the vision is seen as in a broken mirror. cies. all the passions of the heart braath- ing upon it in cross nipples, till hardly a trace of 1t remains unbroken. So that, strictly speaking, the imagination is never governed it Is always the ruling anG Divine power; and the rest of the man is to it only as an instrument which 1t sounds, or tablet. on which it writes; clearly and sublimely if the wax be smooth and the strings true, grotesque- ly and wildly if they are strained and broken. And thus the "1liad' the In ferno." the "Pilgrims Progress" the "Faerie Queen' are all of them true dreams;e only the sleep of the men to whom they came was the deep, living sleep which God sends. with a sacredness fin 1t. as of death, the revealer of ss- crets.

Greater Birmingham

Chairman Jere c. King has the se- quence of coming events set down about right. First, Greater Birming- ham, then sub-treasury and then water rates and an Open Warrior. All these basic things for the central city of the cotton belt can be accom- plished in just about six or seven years, or just before the Panama canai is opened to the world.
 If Birmingham is to become the city that nature plainly intended it should become, then the people living in it in these six coming years must rise to the opportunity. They must seize Opportunity, with a big o, by the neck, thus laying basia upon which a population can be attracted that will fih Jones valley from hill to hill with mills and plants and contented busy people.
 We can build here a second Pitts burg, less it's frolicksome multi-mil- lionaires in much quicker time than the original was built at the head of the Ohio. Already Pittsburg is be- ginning to see the handwriting on the wall, and it will see a great deal more of it if we but do our part in the up- building task.
 As Chairman King says, the first chapter of our duties consists in get ting out big vote on January in favor of Greater Birmingham. Every citizen should vote, and he should on that day devote his entire time to see ing that his neighbors vote.

Southern Democrats and Bryan

The New York Worlds Washington correspondents are endeavoring to demonstrate that southern democrats are not progressive democrats-that they are mossbacks who do not keep step with times progress. Nothing could well be further from the truth. The issues that the founders of the democratic party had to meet were met and they passed away with their day. The people today are face-to-face with economic and political questions that were little dreampt of by Thomas Jefferson or Andrew Jackson, and they will be met as questions were met by Jefferson and Jackson, namely, from the viewpoint of the masses. not of the classes. If the Worlds correspon- ents think otherwise they do not know the southern people.
 The World is afflicted with Bryan phobia, and it intimates that he is sup porting free silver, the initiative and referendum and government owner ship of railroads. This is simply mis- leading. The gold output, about s4oO,-
