ton were s21475. The expenses, in
Gliding royalty on the play and ex-
penses of the director, Miss Margaret
Melick, We're $141 40. leaving a ba'-
ance Of $685. on hand.
The directors spent considerable
time in discussing plans for baseball

The signs look encouraging for a

FIRST GOVERNOR OF WEST Va
Proper Spelling Of Francis Pierpont's
Name Now Settled.

Name Now Settled.
Gus J. Garger, washington cores
pendent Of the Cincinnati Times-star.
writes the following concerning the
name Of the first governor of West
Virginia.
West Virginia has at last decided
upon The. proper spelling of the name
Of her favorite son whose statue has
been placed IN Statuary hall, in the
capitol here For more than year
visitors have looked upon this name
less gift OF the mountain state with
nothing but the words. West vir-
ginia" to identify IT. The statue in
question is that OF Francis Pier
pont, who was the first governor OF
what is now West Virginia During
the war he was the Union governor OF
all Virginia, and he did so much to
keep the West Virginia part of it in
the Union that it was his due to be
honored in The national hall of i'm
mortais But when the statue arriv.
ed in Washington the name was not
inscribed, and thus. nameless. it was
accepted by congress. The reason
!, for this entirely unprecedented pro-
ceeding was that the members of the
Pierpont family could not agree as to
the proper spelling of the name
Some OF the descendants contended
that the name should be Pierre
point Others adopted the spelling
! which has now been accepted, after
many family councils and much dis
cussion OF the question among emf
nent men of the state. The final de-
cision came from Gov. Pierpont's
daughter. who spells her name in the
manner in which it will now be CHS

CHAPTER XxVIlI,

Sad news arrived in Peaceful Valley
a week later, for Captain Bemis had
passed on, Aunt Abby was in lonely
sorrow, and wrote for Chip to come
at once.
Her fate was now linked with these
people. Aunt Abby had been kind and
helpful, and Chip, more than glad to
return little of the obligation, hur-
ried to Christmas Cove.
1t was a solemn and silent house
she now entered. Aunt Abby, despite
the fact that it was not love match,
mourned her departed companion. The
mills pertinent silence added gloom,
and Chips smiling face and affection
ate interest was more than welcome
to Aunt Abby.
And now that concealment was no
longer needed, Chip fastened to tell
her story in full.
How utterly Aunt Abby was aston.
fshed, how breathlessly she listened to
Chips recital, and how, when the cli-
max came and Chip assured her that
good Old Cy Walker was still alive,
Aunt Abby collapsed entirely, sobbing
and thanking God all at once, is but
a sidelight on this tale.
II couldn't tell you before" Chip as
sured her, while her own tears still
flowed. II was so ashamed and guilty
all In one couldn't bear to. | never
did so mean thing in all my life, and
never will again. But when Uncle
Jud told me what you didn't. and how
much he cared for me- and how you
once cared for Uncle Cy, went all to
pieces and told the whole story and
sent word to Uncle Cy that day. I
feel so guilty now, and so mean, l
don't see how you can forgive me"
But Aunt Abby's forgiveness was
not slow in coming. The past ten days
of sorrow had left her heart very ten.
der. In spite of being "booklarned,"
she was very humane. Chips sad life
and misfortunes appealed to her, as
they had to Uncle Jud, and true Chris.
dan woman that she was, her heart
opened to Chip.
Il hope we shall never be parted
while l live," size said, as the tears
came again. 81 have no children, and
no one to live for but my sister. am
50 wonted to Christmas Cove, l could
not feel at home anywhere else. IF
Uncle Jud will consent, l will adopt
you leglly and when I am laid away
all l have shall be yours"
And so Chip Mcclure. wafr of the
wilderness, child of an outlaw. once

her way upward and onward 10 a bet
