The enormlty OF the blunder she hat
made flushed Margarets cheeks Grim
son. For the next two days she wen
about the office in a daze. Should she
or should she not confess? Her de
termination Of the question was az
far from being settled as ever, when
late In the afternoon of the second
day, Mr.. Mason called her into hi!
Office
He sat at his desk on which lay
once more, those fatal scraps of paper
and held in his hand a letter, ovel
which he was evidently perplexed. He
looked up at Margaret, however, witt
a smile.
Here's the strangest mixup, Miss
Van Amburgh. wonder If you can
help me make head or tail Of 1t. Looks
to me as If that incorrlgibe Tommy
had been playing one Of his practical
jokes again. See here"
But Margaret would not look.
"I'm to blame, not Tommy" she con-
fessed, and then somehow she got
through her explanation. 1t was 6
humiiating experience.
When she had finished and with pa.
thetic humility begged Mason's for
giveness he looked at her with a ten
derness she knew she did not deserve,
but which perversely she felt was
worth the having blundered to win.
There's only one thing I'm sorry
about" he said kindly. you should
have directed these little scraps Of
sentiment to yourself, Margaret. They
were written with the thought Of you
in my heart. They are my first love
letters"
At this Margaret unexpectedly burst
into tears. The strain Of confession
had unnerved her. Mason blessed her
for It. 1t gave him the opportunity
he longed for-of holding her in his
arms and of comforting and loving
her.
But what VIII you tell Miss
Greene?" asked Margaret, dismay and
amusement taking turns in possession
OF her big brown eyes and adorable
mouth.
"Oh, I'll make It all right with Cous-
in Elizabeth" Mason assured her,
laughing. "She's a dandy girl, but has
just had a falling out with her flance,
and I've been trying to help her patch
It up"
"Ohw said Margaret comprehend
ingly.
do you know, dearest" asked Ma
son, lingering the scraps Of paper on
his desk, "I'p insu1erably proud to
think my first love letter IS accepted"
"It-it rings true" commented Mar
garet archly. Il knew you could do
It."
Just here Tommy burst in upon the
lovers. He explained that he had
knocked several times, but got no an
swer. Then he continued to stand in
the doorway, grinning.

ders Plead "Not Guilty"

Union City, Tenn, Dec. 1.-THE
plea in obatement which was filed
Thursday in the night rider cases,
charging that the grand jury which
returned Indictments against the
eight men was illegal and the indict-
ments void, came up for hearing to-
day before Judge Jones. who ruled
that the jury was legally selected.
The accused were then arraigned
and allowed to make plea to the in
dictments, which were ready to be
read to them by Attorney General
Caldwell, and all answered in one
voice "not guilty" The defense
asked for a delay of several days be-
fore going into the trials, and the
state agreed to wait until Monday
at o'c ock, when the cases will be
called for trial. Both sides have an
nounced their intentions of being
ready then.

Local Graders.

The GAINESVILLE Leaf Chronicle
says: lone cause of the sales at
Springfield having been more rapid
than at GAINESVILLE was because of
the residence of one of the graders,
Mr.. Glover, at that place. Whenev-
err a sample did not accord fully with
the types, thus preventing it being
sold at the price placed on it. Mr..
Glover could be called in and regrade
it and thus enable the sale to be
made, while in GAINESVILLE it would
have to wait until the grader could
get here"
Hopkinsville has been similarly
situated. Some arrangement should
be made by which the graders could
be located at the important markets.

Dwelling, Its Contents, and
Meat House Burned.

Ed Wooldridge's dwelling. situat-
ed about four miles west of Crofton,
was destroyed by fire. together with
its entire contentss Mr.. Woodbridge
had just killed hogs and all of his
meat, which was in smoke house,
also burned. The loss is about $500,
with no insurance. The family was
away from home and the supposition
is that the dwelling caught from fire
which rolled from the Fireplace to
the floor. The house was one OF the
oldest in NORTH Christian, having
been erected probably 100 years age.

house the fireplace. 1t is the one
thing that helps most to make home
homely. Build it big and broad. Let
there be no gimcracks of fancy wood
work anywhere near it. Let Ii be only
brick or stone. Then let the hearth be
broad and wide Make 1t so large ev-
cry way that you need never fear for n
swapping coal. Away with mats, for
they are combustible, But a stool
that is another thing. Here you can
forget the stocks and the Office and
the store Here you can dream of rest
and peace. Here it is possible that
some of you have Tom and Harry and
Bessie about yonr knees There is no
better way to reconstltute the family.
1t is the chief want of these modern
days.
