At q clearing of the forest stood
MacGregor's store. 1t was sometimes
called The Crossing" but as the
branch had long been impossible be-
cause of quicksands, these literal
mountain folk had come to call it
only 1.-The Store" Here the mail was
brought, from the railroad twice a
week by carrier. But 1t sometimes
CHANGED that somebody had an err
rand In town, and would fetch" the
letters with him.
This was just what happened the
eve before Christmas. MacGregor him
self, went for the maitland a goOdly
lot of it there was, too. Several post
al cards, at least a dozen letters. and
as many other parcels.
He alighted from the wagon,
hitched the mules outside. and hur.
ried to the door which his daughter
held open for him.
my, Pappy, what . lot Of letters!
Any for me-"
Her father put them On the grocery
counter, and. going back to the wa
gon. returned with a package Of pep
permint candy-sticks of red and white
like small barber poles. These he put
in q glass jar, then noticed the girl.
Hello, Mamie, what's in that there
writin?"
"Nothin'." was the terse response.
and Mamie slipped the letter in her
belt.
The man crossed to her with the
swagger . Of conscious weakness.

too. Thar's lots of US ready to take
Bud Johnson's part"
Her face flushed to the color OF her
Turkey red calico. I'll never marry
Bud Johnson SO long as I'm alive!
Shame on you. Pappy! It's all on ac-
count of that 20-acre lot. It's for sale;
you are crazy for it, and you want me
to marry Bud because he's promised
to buy the lot if you make me marry
him. Promise! he has promised every
thing-from that land to q collar for
Peppers neck!"
The tiny black dog snOOzing under
the counter heard his name and crept
to her feet; she stopped and patted
him.
Never mind, Pepper, you shall go
without the collar, and Pappy without
the land forever, before I'll let him
swap me like a pair of two-year-olds!"
Her father paused in the act of pill
ing the good apples on top OF the
barrel. II know; it's all on account
of that teacher a And what's he
done? Tried to get the mountain folks
to send our youngsters to him to be
larned how to work. Thunderation!
Cant we larn We that ourselves? II
he'd give We book-larnin', it wouldn't
be so bad, but"
that's f~oolishness, Pappy; there's
a lot OF good in this new kind Of study
ing that they call manual training.
It's Just because you haven't been
hearing it all your born lives that you
object. Why, you won't hear to any
thing that isn't as old as the noun
.tains themselves"
Pepper dropped from her arms as
she lowered over her father. "Hov
can we grow? How can we amount
to a row of beans if you keep us II
the same old rut? Only to-day / heard
you tell Bill Dawson that you were

QUEEN ALEXANDRA SHOWS ONLY

Special from United Press.o

London. March 4.-The failure of Queen Alexandra to show marked inn proven-ent from her serious indisposi- tion of the last few days is responsi- ble for King Edwards decision to-day to postpone his trip to Biarritz until tomorrow. The reason for the post ponement was officially given out as the severity of the weather, but it is stated that this was not the true cause. Unless the Queen suffers re- lapse, the Kings physicians will insist on his leaving tomorrow as they are anxious to have him escape the de- pressing effects of the English palace The Queen is but slightly improved over yesterday but it was announced that her recovery is showing favorab progress.

ing manufactured in the interest of in- diyidual political ambition.
 No Race Feeling In White House.
 Personally I have not the slightest race prejudice or feeling. and recogni- tion of its existence only awakens in my heart q deeper sympathy for those who have to bear it or suffer from it, and question the wisdom of policy which is likely to increase it. Mean time, if nothing is done to prevent, a better feeling between the negroes and the whites in the south will continue to grow, and more and more of the white people win come to realize that the1uture of the south is to be much benefited by the industrial and intel lectual progress of the negro. The ex- erclse of political franchises by those or nls race who are intelligent and well 10 do will be acquiesced in, and the rlgnt to vote will be withheld only rom the ignorant and irresponsible of both races.
 The Labor Question.
 Tnere IS one other matter to which shall refer. It was made the subject Fof great controversy during the cleo ton and calls for at least a passing reference now. My distinguished pred ecessor has given much attention to the cause or labor, with whose strug- gle for better things he has shown the sincerest sympathy. At his instance congress has passed the bill fixing the liability ot interstate carriers to their
