mantle around him, he shivered, drew
his knees closer to his body and con-
tinued to moan and murmur:
Il can't bear it, nohow. 1t amt 40
use
He paid no heed when, from the
| woods at the foot of the mountain,
yesper sparrow sent forth its tender
note of ca!ling-a note that had al
ways found its answer in the heart of
Uncle Ord But when the bird uttered
another cry-aprolonged, plaintive cry
| which seemed to mourn the desolation
Of the barren hillside ceased to moan
and raised mis- head to listen. AS she
cried out again, even sadder than be-
fore, he sobbed:
'Ye can't bear it, nuther, can We, lit.
tie bird?"
Until the sparrow had finished his
vesper call, Uncle Ord listened, his
eyes resting on the group OF pines at
the top of the mountain AS their out
lines gradually faded into the gather
ing darkness, he struggled TO his feet
and murmured:
1T amt no use trying to bear it,
cause l can't, nohow.'
With his eyes fixed on the spot on
the opposite hill where the King of
night he reeled across the field. He
tripped over a stone and in falling
tore his hands on the brambles, but
he staggered along again until he
reached the gate, where he found he
was too weak to let down the bars.
In his disappointment and despair,
he stood there, sobbing. Then he laid
down and crawled under. Twice he
tried to stand on his feet, but each
time his quivering legs collapsed. Fin
ally he crawled across the road and
began to climb the mountain. When
he came into the clearing where the
ungainly saw mill rose vast and dread
"a great black mass casting weird
shadows on the ground-he felt a
tremor pass through him, and cold
sweat saturated his clothes. He
hurried on the quicker, falling over
stumps and stones and bruising his
aching limbs.
When he reached the halfway boul-
der he sank to the ground exhausted
and could only continue the climb by
crawling over the stumps of trees on
his hands and knees. Once he stopped
to listen to the notes or whip-poor-
will, which seemed to him to be an
other expression of sorrow.
I'VE can't none of us bear it, ken
WEI" he cried.
When his own group of pines doomed
up in the distance, his strength return
ed and with arms outstretched he al
most ran the rest of the way. When
he reached the King of the Pines he
sank on his knees before 1t and car
essed its massive roots, with trembling
fingers he stroked and patted its huge
trunk and cried:
Eye be all mine. Ye be all mine.
BENT ye?"
Through the murmuring branches Of
the monarch tree, the soft night wind
whispered words of comfort to Uncle
Ord. His gasps grew less and less
frequent until he gradually ceased to
sob and finally sank to sleep on the
pine needles.
They laid him away where they
found him, under the King of the
Pines which still stands alone on the I
top of the mountain, faithfully and |
necessarily whispering to one who
loved it-and Observation-Disclosures |

A Woman In Morocco,

All the life of a woman in Morocco Is really passed behind the walls of it's prison-like houses. She sees nothing, knows nothing, is wholly sunk in igno- rance. She has no social life, no after noon "at home." A writer says: Most of the ladies' calls are roof to roof wis., itations, and very nimble they are at getting over the low partition walls. even dragging a ladder up and down with them if there are high ones to be crossed. The reason is that the roofs. or. rather, terraces, are especially re- served for women folk, and men are not even allowed to go up except to do repairs. when the neighboring houses are duly warned"

Strange Pledxes.

3 London pawnbrokers are frequently asked to take strange things in pawn. The other day a Holborn pawnbroker lent $1OO on fine horse, which one of his daughters rode until it was re- deemed. The same pawnbroker once took in pledge a medical chest of poi sons that were strong enough to kill 10000 men. It was, however, a valua- ble deposit, as some of the poisons were very rare. A Kensington' CEng- land pawnbroker about three weeks ago lent a sum of money on a number of autographs of dead celebrities.

THAT ENDURANCE RUN
(Hartford TimesD

There was at least one accident of a serious nature in Massachusetts. for which the racers are alleged to have been responsible. but the actual dam age to persons and property was not the most serious feature of the busi
 ness. The principal injury done was to the automobile business. and to those owners of automobiles who ha- bitually use them in a careful and ,- cent way. It is directly against the interests of the manufacturers and dealers as a whole to have the public angered as it was in these two states Thursday by a lot of strangers. some of them foreigners. who not only have no personal desire or intention to obey the law. but who are supplied by their employers with direct incentive to disregard 1t. --~

wound inflicted accidentally by his
three year-oId-son while they were out
hunting. The child picked up the
target rifle and before Haynie could
warn him against shooting, the rifle
was discharged, striking the father in
