"And why?0 asked the joyous Norah. Because
it's the only song he ever knew, and-it's Tim"
The sun had set when the travellers reached Hill
top; and IN a wagon at the station, holding tn etat
Poor Farm horses, sat Curly himself the Irish wait,
who couldn't remember
"Ti1np said Norah, softly, and he looked at her
and smiled
"Timm she said again.
II don't know you" he replied after moments
pause; 'but you make me think of my mother"
Leaving brother and sister together, Aunt Abble
trudged on. Mrs. Currier standing at her gate.
"Been travelling" she asked
"a little" answered Aunt Abbie fastening to
change the subject. do you think there'll be a
frost?"
Mrs Currier was persistent. Il couldn't think

of her and it didn't seem if she could have her

eat one of the neighbors. She's got a spiteful

Suddenly light flashed on Aunt Abbie. 1t was
old Speckle that Fanny tired of having round
and wanted to get rid OF. She SAID goodnight and
hurried on. How fair the world had grown! How
bright the stars! The cat came to meet her and
rubbed against her feet. She opened the door of

burned it, folded away her Sabbath gown and Gov

Abbie; "for if you hadn't said what you did, and l
hadn't got mad and gone off, that nice girl might
not have found her brother. She was here this

THE GOLDEN SIDE

Ihere is many rest on the road of life.
II we would only stop to take it:
ana many tone from the better land
Ii the querulous heart would wake if.
10 the sunny soul that is full of hope.
And whose beautiful trust meier failetb.
Inc grass is green the the flowers are bright
Though the wintry storm prevalent
Bitter to weave in the web of life
A bright and golden filling.
And to do Gods will with a ready heart
And hands that are swift and smiling
1han to snap the delicate silver threads
Of our curious lives asunder.
And then blame Heaven for the tangled ends.
And sit to grieve and wonder.

YOUNG GIRLS AND BAD COMPANY.

Boys are not the only mortals that bad company
ruins No person can withstand resist the evil
influence of bad companionship Parental influence
cannot check it. No virtue is strong, no intel
Hgence or education so superior or enlightened as
not to fall victim to the baneful influence Of evil
companionship The proverb says Tell me with
whom you associate and will tell you who you are
Or, again, "Companionship is among likes, or
makes likes" This being so, therefore should the
greatest vigilance be exerted in this respect. St.
Augustine says Dad company is like nail driven
into post, which, after the first second blow,
may be drawn out with little difficulty, but being
once driven up to the head, the pinchers cannot
take hold to dra wit out, but which only be
done by the destruction of the wood"

WHERE NONE PURSUETH.

DOnAnick had killed Pasquale in
his little tailor shop in Brooklyn,
where the wax models stood neatly,
one on either side of the neat
counter, fitted with the latest
styles. He had struck home, swift
ly and secretly and Pasquale had
fallen prone on his face without
word or sigh. Now Dominick stood
in a near hallway, his nerves
numb, his body a-quiver, watching
the patrolman flash his lantern
through his shop windows. Well,
he had no atom of regret, that
much he knew, even though they
! had been lifelong friends in Ma
pies and in New York. For Dom
mick had been engaged to marry
Rosa Salvatore-and people had
said hard things of Pasquale.
He knew that he was safe for II
hours until the body Of the tailor
should be discovered on the fol-
lowing morning. Twelve hours.
Then how could they catch him
Dominick was cunning. He had
drawn his money out of the bank,
cut off the ends of the heavy
mustache and twisted it upward.
He would leave Brooklyn.
Pasquale had fallen behind the
counter and the patrolman saw
nothing as he flashed his light into
the little shop and slowly passed
on. Then Dominick crept from his
retreat, entered the subway at the
Borough hall and emerged, Is min
utes later, at the Grand Central
station.
But suddenly there came to him
the thought that perhaps some
friend of Pasquale's had come to
visit him and had found the body
If so the hue and cry would be out
after him. He must make sure. So
he re-entered the subway got out
at the Borough hall and crept
stealthily back to the little tailor
shop. But all was dark inside. The
murder had not been discovered
He was safe for 12-no, for 10R
hours longer.
This time he crossed the bridge
by a surface car, made his way to
Fourteenth street and took the tun-
mel to New Jersey. Paterson would
do for a temporary refuge-there
were many Italians in Paterson and
no doubt he could get work as a
mill hand. The next train was due
at 80. He tossed down a $40 bill
and received his ticket.
Hey" shouted the clerk, seeing
that the Italian was going off with

est conversation near by. turned
and started toward him. Dominick
ran; the others ran. Shouts went
up-Dominick slid through the
crowd with the agility of an eel,
His desperate looks terrified those
nearby and they opened path for
him. Five minutes later Dominica

A pleasant trip down the river
on the good ship Mercedes
brought the party to Brunson's
Mill, where, by the way, there
has been erected a brush shed
and an awning since our last
outing with our Lake City
friends. This is quite an i'm
provement.
But, to return to our muttonS,
or rather fish, the piece de resistance
was the famous pine bark stew,
prepared under the personal
supervision of Mr. D } Epps,
than whom even Brillat Savarin,
the great French exponent of
the culinary art, could not have
excelled in the cooking Of this
gastronomie dainty.
The day was fine, the party
congenlal, and every one en-
joyed to the utmost the pleasant
outing. The Mercedes behaved
admirably, and for the comfort
of his passengers Capt Constine
has put up an awning, though
on this occasion it was not
needed, the weather being ideal
for such a trip.

party: Capt G Constine, Messrs

The fish fry. given Tuesday in
Judge Wilson's honor was a very
enjoyable affair, but there was
some difficulty in securing a
sufficiency of fish by reason OF
the fact that the "close sea-
son" began on Tuesday,June 16.
The fish were caught before the
time limit had expired, but had
to be kept alive so long that
consequently a number of them
died and were unfit for use.
inadvertently last week we
omitted to mention the visit
here Of Mr.. Ralph D Epps, who
is now living in Sumter. With
out being fulsome We may say
that Mr. Epps is one OF the
brightest and brainiest young
men who ever went to college
from this county. He graduated
next to the head of his class at
the Citadel Academy and held
the Office of captain of Company
A, the highest honor that can
be conferred upon a cadet of
that institution. Mr. Epps is
now a member of the bar OF
Sumter.
