here?"
A faint shade Of annoyance crossed
her brow.
'Oh, could ask the same Of you,
and then we'd talk about how sur
prised we are, world without end" said
she. 1.-THE important thing is that here
is sand to play in, and there is the lake.
and here are we, and the day is charm
ing, and It's good to be alive. Sit down
and dig a hole! We've all the common
days to explain things In"
Orde laughed and seated himself to
face her. Without further talk and
quite gravely they commenced to scoop
out an excavation between them, pill
ing the sand over themselves and on
either side as was most convenient.
AS the hole grew deeper they had to
lean over more and more. Their heads
sometimes brushed ever so lightly;
their hands perforce touched. She
looked up happily at Orde. thrusting

Orde followed her in silence. She
seemed to be quite without RESPONSE
bility In regard to him, and yet an oc-
,casional random remark thrown in his
direction proved that he was not for
gotten. Finally they emerged from
the beech woods.
She turned and waved her hat at the
beech woods falling somber against
the lowering sun.
"Goodby," she said gravely, "and

very saucy little birds won't keep you

They said little more until the Ben

clined to go In.
,'I want to thank you," she said.

didn't try, as all the rest of them
would, to act silly too. You couldn't

quaint and quizzlcal smiles. "But men

to leave that to us. You've been very
nice this afternoon, and it's helped a

Orde, however, walked back to the
hotel in black rage with himself over
what he termed his imbecility. AS he
remembered it he had made just one
consecutive speech that afternoon.
"Joe," said he to Newmark, whats
the plural form of Incubus? Isn't it
'bussesY"
"Incubi,' answered Newmark.
"Thanks," said Orde gloomily.

CUNDAY afternoon orde, leaving
Newmark to devices of his own,
walked slowly up the main
street. turned to the right
down one Of the shaded side residence
streets that ended finally in beauti-
full glistening sand hill. Orde seated
himself on the smooth, clean sand and
removed his hat. He saw these things
and In Imagination the far upper
stretches of che river, with the mills
and yards and booms extending for
miles. and still above them the marshes
and the fats where the river widened
below the Big Bend. That would be
the location for the booms of the new
company-a cheap property on which
the partners had already secured a
valuation. To right and left stretched
the long Michigan coast, with hills
topped with the green of twisted pines,
frs and beeches, with always its beach
Of sand, deep and dry to the very edge.
After he had cooled he arose and
made his way back to a pleasant hard
wood forest Of maple and beech. Orde
walked slowly farther and farther into
the forest.
A fresh breeze darkened the blue
velvet surface Of the water. tumbled
the white foam kissing up the beach,
blew forward over the dimes a fine
hurrying visit Of sand and bore to
Orde at last the refreshment of the
wide spaces. A woman, walking slow
~, bent her head against the force Of
this wind.
Orde watched her idly. He caught
himself admiring the grace of her deft
and sudden movements and the sway
Of her willowy figure.
As though directed by some unseen
guide. her course veered more and
more until It led directly to the SPOT

had been in a helpless condition.
There were no Identification
papers on the person of the de-
ceased, except a paper called
Young People, of date December
II, 1908, published by C. R.
Blackall- Philadelphia.
The body was prepared for
burial and inferred here today,
after it had been photographed.
The dead mans companion,
when he reached Conductor Hur-
bert Gravice, who was in charge
of train No. 25, was hatless and
coatless, and told the conductor
that a brakesman had murdered
his travelling companion and had
pitched him from the train, and
that the assassin had taken a
part of his clothes from him and
had only desisted from killing
him when he dropped to his
knees before the big black, and
with uplifted eyes piteously
pleaded and prayed with the ne
gro not to shoot. The excited
companion, to insure identified
ton, informed the conductor that
the negro had on his coat.
Sheriff Trapp stated that a
strong sentiment had developed
against the negro, who is said
to be a dangerous character, and
that he undoubtedly would have
had trouble had the prisoner re-
NAMED in Tupelo. When the AL
ALBANIA accommodation came in
from Tupelo this afternoon there
was a jam of humanity around
the depot and as the big black
dragged his iron chains down
the steps his deed seemed to in
flame the minds Of the surging
crowd and there were cries of
"Shoot him." but at this Deputy
Lidell reinforced the officers and
a rush was made for the Jail. A
hundred men dashed around the
depot, either to get closer or to
see what the outcome would be
and a march to jail began. The
prisoner was safely landed, and
it is believed that he will be safe
in the impregr a Die building.
A consultation was held at the
mayors office and here among
the crowd harsh condemnation
was heard on every side OF. the
negro who. it is said, has admit
ted that he and the white man
had an encounter on top of the
car, but he says that he shot ov-
er him and did not Try to kill him.

Letter from Prof, Hunt.
Shannon, Miss.
Dec. 20, 1903.

Editor Journal:
l have read the announcement of the
president of the State Teachers Associ-
alton that there is to be spelling con-
test in that body when it meets at
Natchez about the first of next May.
Also | have read Prof. Milam's sug-
gestion that he made recently through
your paper to the effect that the schools
of Lee County unite for a contest IN
spelling in order that our county may
select delegates to this contest to be
held at Natchez.
Prof. Milam's plan is to let each
school that enters the contest make
small contribution for the purpose of
defraying the expenses of those VINO
are sent to Natchez by the county.
Now write to indorse the plans I'd
offer my service in trying to make 1t a
success. In my opinion, an impetu in
the study of spelling should be stirred
up in Lee County, and nothing would
do this better than to get the scnoJls
agitated over a contest of this kind.
Furthermore, should like to add to
Prof. Milam's plan that there shall be
a contest in oratory and declamat on
held at the same time as that in spell
ling. Some prize might be offered to
the successful contestants. Also any
other kind of contest that any one might
desire to suggest could be placed in the
program.
Now, don't write this in oider to
join the ranks of those who are crying
down our present methods of teaching
spelling and are claiming that the
schools are not producing as good spell
lers as they used to, because | don't
believe this, but l write because |
think this plan offers means for the
schools of the county to come together
and have an enjoyable and profitable
time Let other teachers speak.
Respectfully,
w. r. HUNT.

the purchase of the necessary wagon

The question of putting on an all day

taken up and discussed. A number of
parties expressed desire to be placed
in connection with the plant by motor

the amount that could be relied on
monthly in the way of extra expense

The retiring officers, Mayor ST. Clair,
