your childhood exclaimed Lily. why,

Lily was all eager anticipation and won
dered what grandmamma had planned for
her. There was no sign Of prepration' for
company, yet the old lady had said they
would receive their visitors at once. But
not one person had come to call; not a
single ring at the door bell had resounded
through the quiet house. The bustling
about in the kitchen downstairs and the
songs Of the birds in the trees were the
only sounds to break the peaceful country
quiet.
Now, lay off your hat and sack dear"

Lily went into another room and put her
hat and jacket on a bed, She brushed

On returning to the living-room Lily drew
her chair close beside her grandmother and

quaint old-fashioned form.

BY Bertha McEvoy, Aged IS Years, Mis-
souri, Valley, Ia, Route No. 3. Blue Side.
Vera and Dora were sisters, Vera was
u years old and Dora was II. They had
been thinking very hard Of some way
they could earn money. Their mother had
two parsnip beds. She said II they would
dig the parsnips and sell them they could
have the money. One patch was larger
than the other. Vera who was greedy
took the largest patch, They set to work
with a will, but before Vera finished hers,
she found that the moles had taken half
Of them and when finished she had three
bushels. She now wished she had taken

stuffy school house, porting over old books;
that was Just what they both said men

Their aged grandfather, sitting on the
porch In the sum-, understood something Of
what went through their minds, and as Il
wanted a quarter OF an hour till time for
them to start to school-It was the first
chool day OF the fall term-he called them
to him.
Il know you feel reluctant about going
to school," he said, Blu 1 don't believe
you realize how much you have to be
thankful for in these fine days OF the

about IT,"
"Oh, yes; tell us about II. grandpa" said
JUNE, eager TO have anything occur which
might take from her mind the thought of
school for the time being. And Jack added
his voice to hers: yep, grampap, let's
hear about IT,"

in the hills Of Kentucky and the hills were
covered with heavy timber. The neighbor-

things.
AS they were eating their lunch a group
Of children came to play in the park and
the birds flew up into the maple tree and
chartered angrily about being disturbed by
the children until the time drew near for
them to return home.
They told Dicky Sparrow that they had
spent a most delightful afternoon and he
thanked them for having planned such q
pleasant anniversary of his birthday.

THE NEGRO IS ADVANCING.
The Race In Georgia Owns Millions In
Property Holdings.

Whatever progress may or may no,
have been made by the Negro along
intellectual lines. It is apparent from
figures found In the latest volume of
the studies OF Atlanta university on
the Negro problem that the colored
race In Georgia at least has been ad-
vaDcing steadily by way OF property
holdings. According to these figures,
Georgia Negroes In 1875 owned prop
erty TO the assessed value Of s. 393. SIS.
In 1850 their holdings had increased
TO S5.764, ,293 and In 1885 to Ss.153. $50.
In 1890 the Negroes OF the state held
property assessed at Sl2,322 ,oo3, and
In 1895 this had increased TO Si29il,-
$50 In 1900 the property owned by
Negroes was valued at sli.llST2o, and
In 1905 their holdings represented S20.-
6l646s. Negro property owners in
Georgia In 1907 were assessed s25 ,9o4..

His frank avowal of gratitude was re-
Warded by a volley of choice blasphemy
rom the man in charge of the lamp,
which was interrupted by Murray's
voice.
STAND back from those horses, you
fellows" ordered the detective
And who the devil are you, to give
US folks Orders?'' roared the man who
resembled the prisoner. Think we're
such blasted fools as to let you come
kidnapin' our pal and a-carryin' of him
off without maxim move to help him?
That kind of game don't go here, and
don't you forget it."

sponded Murray. coolly

the leader of the gang.

Oner from where he sat, with Dutch
Peters muscular arm around him.

lows, that's all they are. Shoot 'em
down, boys; don't let 'em take me away

At this juncture a man of more i'm

crowd emerged from the back room of
the saloon and walked toward the
wagon cautiously. He was promptly
halted by Murray when he had an

Then you refuse to show your au-
thority for this high-handed proceed
ing?" queried the self-styled magis-
trate.
You can just bet that I do" was
Murray's emphatic rejoinder.
The Officious inquirer stepped back
a few PAGES and called three of the
gang into consultation. This action
left but three men standing by the
horses, and Murray called to them
sharply:
Let loose those horses" he cried.
A derisive laugh was the sole re-
Spouse, and bending forward swiftly
the detective took careful aim with
his revolver and pressed the trigger
A loud report and squirt of flame into

From the darkness behind came 4
medley of oat1s and yels of fury, re-
volvers cracked sharply and several
bullets whizzed harmleSsly over the
heads of the fUgitives. But the horses
had swung smoothly into their stride
and were racing rapidly away. Murray
headed them for st. AIMS. giving
them full rein, and they sped through
the night like swallows bound for
home. In the bottom of the wagon

In the dead OF night the wagon
pulled up in front OF the hotel at St.

raging refused obstinately to walk,
and was carried kicking and swearing
by the detective and his comrade into

the Chicago train. So far luck had
favored Murray wonderfully, but he
had passed through too many adverse
