 "How much did your mistress expoc, to get for tho picturo7"
 "Shc say times ain t lah dey uster bo She say az i'm mo-, of he fuzes den az fifty"
 The listener smiled, and the old man continued
 "Now you knows do histry ug dc picter, but you can't know how feel bout 1t bein ruint, less n you'd saw Miss Elba wroppin 1t up, an de tears drappin on dc paper, an hear her say, T hate ter do it, Unc' Simon, but we can t stawve An now ter hab ter 70 back home an tell her it's ruint Lawd Lawd, can't do it.''
 A big tear rolled down the shriveled check, and splashed on the canvas.
 With spotless handkerchief, Che young man removed tho stain Was it an importincnt ray from the descending sun playing tricks or did tho girl smile at himf
 His heart gave great bound, and the feeling in that region was strange and sweet.
 "Fool.n He turned and walked away shaking himself as though just wakened from troubled dream.
 "Saha" Tho old darky looked up quickly. He had caught the one word, and failed to understand its application
 "It's too bad'' Turning again to the negro. "The only thing to do is sell 1t to somo dealer In such rubbish and then not get enough to compensate for having the young lady's face stared at, and commented on. My advice is to take 1t back to her, and tell her the true state of affairs, and abide by her deci sion in the matter. v
 Why did the thought of curious strangers staring, and commenting jar upon him so unpleasantlyf The girl was nothing to him. If she wanted to sell her picture it was none of his business He had neither tho right nor the incli- nation to object
 His right was questionable Co be sure hut his inclination--well it wts queer, unpleasant feeling, aroused by the thought of tho innocent girlish face bo- inn stared at and commented on Ho was annoyed because be could not rid himself of It
 Irritation crept into tone and manner, AS he said. "It B useless to grieve- Take my advice and carry the picture back to tho young lady" Giving the lapels of his coat an impatient jerk, hc walked away.
 Tho old darkey dropped his head again in his hands. IIe was alone with his grief.
 "I'd sworc he wuz sorry for me. But it.s human mater ter git all yo' secruts wd UT mek blevo uv sorry, den ieao you ter shif fur 70 'scf. But he's CT rale cenel man. De secruts Is safe wid i'm.
 Leaning on the occK ra'i the young man tried to send unpleasant thoughts away in clouds of cigar smoke.
 Like Banquo's ghost they would no' aown. they haunted him. He could see two great dark eyes, half sad, half sauey' locking at him from behind long golden Iashes. Unconsciously hc began to wh's- tle. "Those dark eyes They hauus mo still" Hc glanced quickly around to sco if any one had noticed his weakness

New Telephone Directory.

The new telephone directory OF
the Southern Bell Telephone Com
pany for Bamberg has been deliver
ed to all the subscribers by Manager
F. F. Shores. 1t contains all the
changes and corrections in listing
and all the new names that have
been added since the last directory
was issued. 1t is attractive in ap-
pearance and the number of new
names indicates that there is con-
stant increase of subscribers IL Bam-
berg.
It is a we'll known fact that tele-
phone development is an indication
of growth and progress on the part
of a community and Bamberg is
keeping pace with other cities of a
similar size.
The Southern Bell Company is en-
couraging the connection of farmers
telephone lines with its exchanges
and toll stations throughout the
South and the plan which it has
evolved is one under which farmers
and other rural residents may secure
satisfactory telephone service on ar
economical basis.

Court Proceedings.

When The Herald went to press
last Wednesday the case of Mrs. L..
K. Mayfeld against the Southern
Railway Company was being tried.
This was a suit for damages for the
burning of a gin house from sparks
of an engine of the railroad. The
case was given to the jury late We'd
nesday afternoon, and they stayed
in the room all night, returning a
verdict early Thursday morning.
They found $1,000 for the plaintiff.
In the case of Carey Brabham
against the Southern Railway Com
pany, plaintiffs attorneys moved for
a non-suit, as some of their wit
nesses were absent, and the case
will come up again.
Wesley Banks against the South
ern Railway Company resulted in a
non-suit, and Wesley, loses the case.
1t is generally regretted that Banks
did not recover in this case. He
was shot by Preston Brown while
he was guarding the property OF the
company, and it does seem that the
railroad is liable for damages.
Banks was seriously wounded, for a
long time he was not expected to re-
cover, and he will never be well
man again.
No other cases were ready fol
trial, although there are still mum
ber of civil cases on the calendar
The balance of the day was taken uI
in hearing motions, granting orders
etc., and court adjourned sine die
Thursday afternoon.

Fire Last Thursday Night.

Last Thursday night about half
past nine o'clock the dwelling occu-
pied by Mr.. c. c. Rowell and family
was found to be on fire. The alarm
was quickly given and a crowd gath
cred at once anl saved a portion of
the furniture. tc. The fire origi-
mated in the St,ore room, but the
cause is not lown, as there had
been no fire IN that part of the house
since morning. The house was own
ed by Mr.. ]. A. Spann, and was in
sured for about $500. Mr.. Rowell
had insurance of $3.50 on his furni-
ture, which will possibly cover the
loss, as some articles were saved.
It took hard work to save the ad-
jacent dwellings, and some were
scorched badly. A tenant house be-
longing to Mr.. H. F. Spann did
catch and was burneu. 1t was occu-
pied by negro named Melvin
Brown, and most of his household
goods were saved.

WALDEN HERE NEXT TUESDAY.
This Noted Magician the Last Regu'
lar Lyceum Attraction.

There is evidentaly reat, in the
way of entertainment, in store for
the lyceum members and friends in
the performance Of Walden, the re-
nowned magician, wonder worker
and sleight of hand perform
er, who is booked to close the regu-
lar lyceum course on next Tuesday
evening.
On account of the young peoples
meetings the management has placed
the hour at S:45 so as to give all the
opportunity of attending.
This is an entertainment that will
appeal to all-from the six-year-old
child to the person of gray hairs.
Here are some of the many good
things said of him:
walden mystifies and amuses in
equal proportions.
walden, in performing the most
mysterious illusions, does not resort
as some performers do, to darkened
stage, etc., but performs them on
brilliantly lighted stage in full view
of the audience"
"See Walden and forget your
troubles. Blue handkerchiefs will
turn to white-white fade into air
now you see and now you don't"
"Walden's program contains no
feature that would not be proper in
the drawing room of the most rein-
ed
"Walden will keep everybody
guessing from the time the perform
oooo cfortc 'ti11 its finish with his
truly marvellous and apparently i'm
possible tricks"
Who is Walden? You'll find out.

 What pocket are you going to car " your watch in-the right or left:'
 'I told him the left.
 Then said he, I will regulate 1t for tie left
 T asked what difference it made, and he declared that watch runs faster on the left side than on the right, so to keep it from gaining time he regulates 1t accordingly. In fine watches the difference is hardly wort l, considering, but in watches of cheap make like mine 1t is very noticeable. asked for scientific reason for this variation. He could give none; said he only knew 1t was true. and then. whether he was faking or not, he pre- tended to regulate my watch for the left pocket" York Sun.

Tho Great Vidoco.

Fldocq. the great French detective, was born in Aras in 17TT55. He began life as a baker and early became the terror of his companions by his athletic frame and violent disposition At the same time he was notorious thief, and after many disgraceful adventures he enlisted in the army. In 179G he re
 turned to Paris with some money, which. however, he soon squandered. Next he was sentenced at Lille tn eight years hard labor for forgery, bat re- peatedly escaped. and in 1908 he be- came connected with the Paris police as detective. His previous career enabled h!,u '" render important serv- ices. and lie was appointed chief of tho safety brlga>.". chiefly composed of re- pr1eved convicts, which purged Paris of the many dangerous classes. In 1918 he received a full pardon, and his connection with this service lasted un- til about 1928, when he settled at St. Mande as a paper manufacturer. Soon after the revolution of 183O he became political detective, but with little success. In 1S4S he was again em- ployed under the republican govern p,ent. but he died penniless in 1857.

Moroccan Red Tape,

Official correspondence in Morocco is couched in very fowery and fam boyant style. It Is interspersed with a variety of meaningless adulatory phrases that tend to confound the rcal meaning of the epistle. For example an order to the minister of finance to contract loan begins thus:
 "In our present letter God increase his power and make the glorious sun and his moon glitter in the Armament of his felicity we have authorized our incorruptible servant (here fellows name) to contrat in the name and ca the behoof of the treasury (heaven fill It) loan of -" etc.
 Considering that the "incorrupti.yse servant" is filching as much as he pos sible can from the treasury 1t Is cer- tainly necessary to pray that "heavcn fill it"-London Graphic.
