CHAPTER ii.

When Mrs. Wright and Laurance
Lowe left the smaller drawing room,
they turned their steps toward di,
minutive apartment, where some late
arrivals were yet partaking of tea and
coffee. For some minutes neither
spoke. I.aurance Lowe was singu
larly silent man, and Mrs. Wright
was by no means an excessive talker
They understood each other thorough,
ly, and both enjoyed these long spells
of silence. Lowe found 4 seat for
Mrs. Wright in the dimly l;g;!ted cor
ridor, just outside the SHALL coffee
room. end let her there while lie went

Through the curtained doors the
cadence of slow, soft waltz reached
their ears, rising and falling on the
heavy atmosphere Mrs. Wright was
anxious this evening. and a little rest
less. She had that morning received a
telegram from her husband, announc-
ing his arrival at Brlndisi OH the home
ward voyage from India. and she had
not seen him for two anxious, weary
years. She slipped her coffee, and
glanced oyer her cup toward Laurance
Lowe. His great eyebrows were dra wn
forward, so that his eyes were in i'm.
penetrable shadow. He looked very
old and somewhat worn. but he had
looked so for many years.
"Ies, Laurance," said she. softly, Il
am little proud of my daughter
He made no reply. but continued to
stir lis coffee, aDsently. Presently hp
moved slightly and looked up, drawing

Yes, he will find her grown. She is

grave; but there was about the lines Oh

Rig Crane Killed by Telephone Wires

A large crane is hanging by hls
neck on the telephone wires at the
southwest end of Hog Island, oppo'
site buoy No. 2, and how the crane
came to die by hanging has been a
mystery and a topic of much specu-
lation among the ferryboat passen-
gers.
1t is thought the crane suddenly
swooped down to nab its prey, and
not taking heed of the telephone
wires, looped it's long neck about one
of them and was jerked down to
death. The accident is a queer one.

FINGER NAILS.

FINGER NAILS.
Be careful not to break them,
And bite them you must not
For if you do it's no excuse
To say that you forgot.
Go straight away to mother,
If nails are long or rough,
Then she will take the scissors out
And cut them just enough.
1t doesn't hurt to cut them,
Yet children often cry
When mother fixes finger nails
I wish they'd tell me why.

RESIDENCE BURNED.
Mr.. w. L. Taylor Loses Home
and Personal Effects.

On Tuesday, 10th, fire destroyed
the residence and one or two out
houses of Mr.. w. L. Taylor, super
visor from the second district, to-
gether with all of the household ef-
fects, provisions, etc.
While the male members of the
family were away from home, the
roof of the kitchen caught from a
defective fue. BY the time help
arrived the building was too far
gone to be saved. Everything in
the house, including all of the
meat and a large supply of grocer
les, were burned. The loss amounts
to about $500, with $3.50 insur-
ance on the house and $3.50 on the
furniture.
A few years ago Mr.. Taylor lost
his barn and contents and several
bales of cotton by fire, with no in
surance. On that occasion the fire
was of incendiary origin.
