There was not a single one of hia enemies who dared bring his shot gun to his shoulder for fear that win would draw his revolver" from his back pocket and shoot the offender first.
 The cause of wnrs trouble was a wo- man who was dazzied by the lights and music of Washington Park. This woman, Corrine Reed. came to the city from e plantation four miles from the city limits. on "wednesday night with win Sheperd, and as they passed Wash ington Park. the woman entered. pay ing her own way.

 Alter a little while he disappeared and at 1 o'clock Corrine's house in the country was ablaze without seem ing cause. As soon as a crowd had collected about the fire. VIII came up and joined the crowd In expressing

On the command to throw up his nanos the negro obeyeds and on oeins sea rched the revolver proved to pc nothing more than a hair-brush.

Will states that he found the house of his lady love in flames when he returned from the park, anud could express no opinion as to how the nre originated.

THUNDER CHAPS WERE FALSE

Happiness happed too soon yesterday morning, for the evident glee upon the faces of Montgomery citizens at the prophecy of the weather bureau and the aspect of the heavy black clouds drift ing from the west over the city scared inc inc thunder shower away from the city, and all the weather hureau could record yesterday at noon was two little claps of thunder which could hardly be heard above the rattle of business on Dexter Avenue. and a little sputter of rain.
 Now the weather department says that the same conditions win exist to- day. Nevertheless everybody leave their umbrellas at home and the rain will descend in torrents.But if there are umbrellas displayed in broad day. light on the streets. another spit of rain will be all that will be recorded.
 The weather generally yesterday was cloudy to partly cloudy all over the south. and eastern half of the country. under a distribution of air pressure that has changed very little within the past twenty -four hours. The heat was slightly moderated by the prevailing clouds during most of the day, and the little splutter of rain about noon served to wet the pavements for q little while at least.
 There were good rains recorded in Rome. Ga, where the official records show a fall of about an inch. At some place in South Carolina there was a precipitation of two inches. and fre- quent showers were reported all about Montgomery, The actual amount of precititation was. however. slight.
 Don't forget about leaving the ura- brelias a home today that 1t may rain upon the heated streets of the city and make things more pleasant for d few days.

(Continued.l
 Before Harold had passed on. Mollie said to him in q whisper. with the franlness of real girls

 When they had all gone anu sn cabin was dark, save for the sLesIn from the nightlight which lne aa.s mother had placed out of signt m t1s basin at the foot of the bunk, Harold lay for a long time motioniess. me events of the day were wnirling through his brain, in their own se- querce and at their own pace. hignt under his eye. so close to him that the breath famed his hair. lay the sweet child whose life he had saved. The rosabud of a mouth was partly opened ax she breathed. If anything could have made for peaceful. holy feeling. one would have thought 1t would have been thisl and yet 1t seemed to call back to him all the memory of that other face which as baby or equal age he had seen the first time he came to Normanstand. And with the mem ory came a sense of unutterable mis- cry: of an unspeakable loss; of so bit- ter a sense of injustice that he almost writhed under it.
 Here he became conscious of q movement of the child in his arms; . shuddering movement. and a sort of was living over again in sleep the per ills and fears of the day. The action of her mind was. however, complete: for instinctiyely she put up her hands and felt the arms around her. Then with a sigh she clasped her arms around his neck, and with peaceful look laid her head upon his breast. Even through the gates of sleep her instinct had recognized and realized protection.
 And then this trust of little child brought back the man to his nobler self. Once again came back to him that love which he had had, and which he knew now that he had never lost, for the little child that he had seen grow into full womanhood; and whose image must dwell in his heart of hearts for evermore.
 Surely. surely Isaiah's proph ecy is entirely spiritual and illustrative. When he said "a little child shall lead them." the woft and the leopard and the lion were but types of the pas sions that turk. and bounce. and sniite. But the hand of the little child is eter- nal. It belongs not only to proph ecy and idealization and illustration, but to those realities where nature reigns; to those gardens where the flowers are virtues and hopes. and where passtons ana selfish desires are weeds that choke.
 As Harold thought. and realized. and knew. the tears welled from his eyes: the bitterness of his deaolate heart melted in the living trust of the little Most High.
 As he lay quiet in the dimnsss of the
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-06-12

cabin he became conscious of another presence; like speaks to like in other ways than in words. Turning his head slowly. lest by any quick movement he should wake the child, he saw in the space of the doorway kept open by the hook a face which he presently made out 70 pc thaf of Mrs stonehouse. He whispered to her softly.
 "she Is sleeping soundly. She is not even dreaming now. Come in and see herr The mother crept in as softly as shadow. and kueeiing down beside the bunk looked closely at the child "Thank Godi" she whispered as though unconseiousiy Harold's hand lay out side the coveriet; she took 1t in hers, and. lifting 1t up. kissed it.
 The man was disconeerted. He dared not make movement to draw 1t away lest he should wake the child, and he knew rather than feared that to wake her would be to wake her to new and multiplied fear. So he said in whis- pered protest:
 ''oh. please, please don't I would really rather you didnt."
 The mother made plea which sound ed pitiful in his ears:
 Do let me hold 1t. for a flaw mo- ments It saved my child's life. If you knew how much 1t is to me to touch 1t I am sure you would not mind" He feared she would get hys- terical or weep; and se acQuiesced in what he thought would arrest such q calamity. He answered as sweetly as he could; after all. she was mother. He had saved her child. and much ex- pect her gratitude:
 My dear lady, if 1t comforts you in any way. please do as you wish" For a few seconds she held his hand tight a NA ar oofA akf fw.n~
 If you have any sorrow, and oh my dear boy, can see that you have can SC it in your eyes--rnay God so comfort you as you have comforted us May He in His power and His wisdom turn your sorrow into joy and give you your hearts desirel" Harold was alarmed and spoke quickly:
 Please! I must ask you not to speak to me; not to think of me I am very definite about this. and I am sure you will observe the only request I make" The lady recognized his earnestness and respected his desire that she should keep the secret which she had. surprised. She bowed her head: he knew that it was a delicate promise of silence.
 The long nights sleep quite restored Peari. She woke fairly early and without any recurrence of fear. At first she lay still. fearing she would make The Man. but finding that he was awake--he had not slept a wink all night--she kissed him and then scram- bled out of bed. He guided her with out-stFetcned arm as she crossed the aioping floor. she climbed on the sofa. from which she could lock out through the port on the tossing sea. He feared. naturally, that the sight of 1t might upset her. But his fears were ground less; she looked out undiamayed and reported to him in her own way the state of the weather:

 Haroid.s favorite spot for lonely thought was the cabletank on the top of the aft wheelhouse. In this peace fui corner. with the wind whistling above and around him. and the sea in the foamy track of the vessels wake seeming to rise level and then 10 fall away behind him as the waves passed under the ship his thoughts ran freely and in dreadful sympathy with the turmoil of wind and wave.
 How unfair 1t all wasl Why had he been singled out for such misery? What gleam of hope or comfort was left to his miserable life since he had heard the words of Stephen: th oss dreadful words which had shattered in an instant all the cherished hopes of his life. Too we'll he remembered the tone and look of scorn with which the horrible truths had been conveyed to him. In his inmost soul he accepted them as truths; Stephens soul had framed them and Stephens lips had sent them forth.
