 Once more he realized to the full the horror of Crawshay's death, once more he remembered the words of the oath which he had sworn, once more he recollected the judgment he had called down on his own head if he failed to keep his word.
 And then again there came the mefn- ory of that morning when he had stood before the looking glass with a razor at his throat. and had felt an irresist- ible desire to cut a thin red line from ear to ear. and. as he recalled it. he also remembered that there was loaded revolver in one of the drawers of his writing table.
 Moved by some power over which he had no control, he rose to his feet and groped his way to the table. He thought that the grip of his fingers on the revolver would inspire him with courage. He was certain some unau- thorized person was either in the room or moving about the house. He could hear nothing. but he seemed to feel their presence. It would be wise to arm himself in case of accidents.
 He fumbled with his keys. and, after several attempts, opened the drawer. and took the revolver Tn his hand. For a moment the feel of the weapon seem cd to fascinate him. Then he slipped it into his pocket, and once more his eyes fell on the box in the corner. He walked over to it and moved 1t out of the ray of moonlight into the darkness.

The Genetts Ditch has always been an ob {. stacle to street improvement in that part of the city. and the hills have also interferred to some extent. Inc city ts now meeting these problems and not only preparing for what is al- ready out there. but for the inevitable future growth of that section of Mont- gonery. On ali the streets from Court and Hull concrete bridges have been built and the ditch has been straight ened. Extensive Improvements have been made or are being made on Perry. McDonough. Hull and Lawrence Streets and big Improvements are planned for Court Street.
 All of this is done to meet. new con- dittons, for 1t is acknowledged that South Montgomery is growing more rapidly than any other residential por- ton of the city.

So his thoughts. wild and uncertain. tried to grappie with a problem that was almost beyond the powers of q ciear-headed philosopher. They wan dered, now feebly, now with swift tumustous rush. down many paths. but they siways returned to one dark certain place, and that was the House of Fear.
 Sir Richard Gaunt was afraid, and therein lay the terror of the whole thing. He did not know what he fear- ed--nothlng human, nothing definite. not even the God Whom he had defed and blasphemed from his youth.
 One morning four months after his mothers death, he was shaving himself with a hand that was remarkably steady for man that had been drunk the night before. When he had half completed his task. he paused with the razor iaid flat against the side of his throat and a look of fear in his eyes.
 He was seized with sudden and al- most irresistible desire to cut his own throat He had no wish to take his life, but ne fonged to take the razor on its edge and draw 1t fiercely across the flesh. He even pictured what he would see in the glass after he had done il. The wish seemed to come from without, and not within. It was almost as though some one had laid 0 tanQ on HIS WIlSL anu nHQ HypnO- tized isis will Men have been known to experience something of the same feeling when they have stood on the edge of platform, and have felt longing to throw himself in front of an advancing train. They have no desire for self destruction, but mere- ly desire to do the act which means seif-destruction. Sir Richard Gaunt was for a moment oblivious of every thng except the reflector of his own throat. half covered with father. and an intense desire to slash the razor across 1t with all his strength.
 Then suddenly the razor dropped from his nerveless fingers and clat- tered on the dressing table. The noise and leant against the bed, white- faced. and trembling In every limb. The desire had passed, but the horror of it remained. He looked round the room as though expecting to see some one. Then he rang the bell.
 Finish shaving me, Hinton" he said as the valet entered. My hand is shaky."
 The welLtrained servant betrayed no surprise but completed the task with swift dexterlty.
 You can shave me every morning, Hinton," he said. when the man had sponged his face and removed the tow ei from his neck; land take the razors away with you now. Then bring me up brandy and soda"
 The man obeyed the orders without askins any questions. and Sir Rich ard Gaunt sat down in an armchair and swallowed half his drink in a single gulp.
 He resolved never to shave himself again. Perhaps the dead had already risen to destroy hinn--by his own hand.
 T must get out of this" he nut tered to himself; Tt won't do. 1t cant so on. must get out of it. I shall so mad"
 But he stiil fingered on. trying to solve the two problems which had pre- scented themselves to his mind and sinking still lower into the depths.

PAVING IN SELMA
CITY COUNCIL MAY TAKE ACTION

 Selma. July IA.
 Probably the initiative steps in the actual work of paving the streets of Selma will be taken at the meeting of the city council tomorrow night when the contract for the paving of Broad and Water streets will be let.
 The committee of the city council which has the paving question fin charge has a number of bids on hand and these will be opened Monday and the best bid will be decided upon and the committee will recommend to the council that the contract for the pav- ing will be let.
 The paving of the streets of Selma has been discussed considerably dur ing the past two years but as yet noth- ing more than passing ordinances and asking for bids for the paving has been done Many of the property owners along the two streets upon which the paving will be done first have tried to defer the matter of paving as much as possible and 1t is believed that when the actual work fs ready to begin that they will get out some kind of an in- junction and temporarily stop work.
 The city officials are confident that if the property owners do get out injunc- tions that such injunctions will not be held effective and that the paving will continue after delay of only few days. Such actions they say have been taken by property owners in other cities and fin each instance the injunc- tions were not upheld.
 The members of the city council are with one exception. heartily in favor of the paving of the streets The ma jority of the citizens of Selma are also in favor of paving and there is little doubt that by the first of the coming year several blocks In the business section will have been paved.
 Stole . Hack and Horses.
 An unknown negro stole a hack to which was hitched q pair of horses early this morning. The police have been looking for both the negro and the hack but have not located him
 The hack stolen was No. 90 and be- driven by Needham Grayson, another negro. Grayson drove the hack to the Ice factory on Franklin street this morning about 1:30 o'clock and left 1t standing in front of the ice plant while he went inside.
 The strange negro came along, mounted the box and drove the vehi- since.

 Before Justice of the Peace B. J. Gayle next Friday, the several negroes who have been arrested in Dallas coun- ty as being implicated in the state examination frand, will have q prelirn- mary hearing, or at least the cases against them have been set to be heard on that day.

Complaints come TO the Record

tion Of tho sidewalks IN upper Main.
Since the floods they have been In a
frighttul condition aud have been
really dangerous TO pedestrians.
Along In front of the Record office
gully has been washed out that
makes II nearly impossible for ladies
with baby carriages to pass aud they
are compelled 20 take to the street,
which Is but little better. Citizens
are wondering what 10 the reason that
tho street supervisor aud his deputy
do not repair the sidewalks that
have been damaged. They make
assertion that az the entire time OF
these officials belong to the city, the
city dads should see to 1t that they
do work on tho streets.

Our article OF last week In relation
Go n larger paper has set some few 20
thinking. Tho editor has been
accosted by aeversl citizens asking
what Il would take 10 have paper
double the size of the present one
and we have invariably answered that
Il would require about 100 extra
subscribers and tho business men ~
tho town TO be regular advertisers
aud To contract for yearly space 80
that certain revenue might 30 dep
ended upon TO pay the increased ex-
pense. Those who seem 10 bo In.
tcreated expressed themselves M will
Ing to help aud 30 do what they pos.
slbly could and assured the manage.
ment Of the paper that they would at
ieast take an extra subscription and
send 10 some friend.
This is highly encouraging and II
II eau possibly be that our merchants
will agree 10 take liberal space for
year larger paper Will certainly
DO given. A thorough canvass OF the
merchants will be made aud II they
will respond Cedar will soon have
paper that will compare fevornbly la
size Nth an country paper In the
state. However, we will DO pardoned
when we shy that tho paper as II
stands has been power for good In
the county, and by its attitude has
made other portions Of the state sit
up and take notice. The paper has
always endeavored. under the present
management, to boost for Iron

WINTER ADJUSTMENTS.

Now that the vacation period 10 at

that very necessity implies that they

have an enlightenlng effect as we'll

away from the hard bread and
butter problems which engage our
attention so much. Al best dancing

do, and IL lie just that kind Of recrea-

people TO indulge IN more than they
have done In the past. We have in

In both wards splendid talent, and

people something TO think about,

social and intellectual standard of
the community.
