CONFED. VETERANS
In CAMP

Many veterans went out to Indian
Camp Springs this morning, where
the annual encampment will be held
for the next two days. The old sol
diers went out in uniform, and regular
army rules will prevail in camp, though
it is safe to say that the rules will not
be so strict that the entire camp will
not enjoy the occasion. One OF the
most pleasant features will be the
good things to eat furnished largely
by the good people of the neighbor'
hood.

nearly approaching anazement:

"I-er-here's something wanted to. ask you

Carroll glanced over the extended letter. His

The two men stood thus face to face, eyes chal-

turned away. Swayne'S countenance showed not
only anger but bewderrnent; whatever Carroll felt
was not evident Perhaps there was more color in
his face than usually there; but it had been
that way when he came out of the private Office,
therefore not due any feeling aroused by the
scene with Swayne.
That afternoon Carroll caused neat placard to
be placed on the door of his private Office. 1t said
briefly:
Do not enter this without knocking. If Mr.. Car

Swayne read it and wondered, feeling somehow
that it was direct rebuke to him; the dozen
clerks read it and wondered and commented
upon it varyingy two office boys read it and added
their opinions. On the following day the incident
was repeated with slight variations. Swayne
Carroll enter the front door, pass through the main
Office and go into the private Office, closing the door
behind him. Half hour later Swayne spoke to
the bookkeeper Black, to whom he had spoken the
day before:
PLEASE hand that to Mr.. Carroll in his private
Office he directed.
The bookkeeper took the slip of paper which the
secretary offered crossed the Office, and raped
CAROLS door. After a minute he returned to
Swayne, who was apparently adding column of
figures.

bookkeeper

Swayne blandy.

"Oh, that's of consequence, exclaimed
