At the Parting Of the Ways
By Francis A. Corey
Copyright, 1910. by Associated Literary Press

Lying back in her big easy chair
with the red freight playing over
her jewels and laces, Mrs. Taylor Pey-
ton was a picture of luxurious ease.
Young, beautiful, fabulously rich, the
prizes of life had been showered Law
isly upon her. Lois, Barton could not
understand why her proud face wore
that look of weary discomfort.
This six weeks visit with her city
cousin had given to Lois, herself, her
one taste of real luxury. 1t was all
very wonderful. She felt, sometimes.
like a person transported to land of
enchantment. She had enjoyed every
moment. But her visit was drawing
to a close. Soon, she must return to
the drudgery of the school room.
A flush sprang to Ger cheeks,
kindled by a sudden thought. She,
too, could live in a beautiful house
with servants at her beck and call
buy her gowns at the big shops pat
onized by her cousin Virginia! Fate
had thrown a golden apple in her
way. She need not go back to the
old treadmill round, the uncongenial
tasks, unless she chose to.
But-Ward Winthrop! Well, what
Of him? 1t was two years since he
had left Surry without bidding her
goodby. In all probability she
would never see him again. The
surest cure for her aching heart was
to set up the image of another in the
shrine so long kept sacred to him.
Meanwhile Virginia Peyton, on the
other side of the dancing fire. was
looking her over approvingly.
"My dear" she said, that simple
white gown Is in excellent taste. A
country girl shouldn't make herself
too smart at city functions. l want
ed you to look your best tonight. Cor
don Vance will be at the reception.
He is very fastidious. With men of
his temperament, trifies turn the scale.
shall let him know that you return
home the last of the week. I think he
will come to the point before the
evening Is over"
"Oh. l hope noti" Lois exclaimed
with sudden revulsion of feeling.

Human Hair in Surgery.

Two surgeons, F. B., and c. C..
Guthries, propose the use of human
hair for sewing up wounds, particular
ly in blood vessels. Experiments made
highly successful Both the carotid
artery and jugular vein were repaired

uneventful. Light brown hairs of the

They are said to have a greater ten,

used In such operations.

The account in The Gate City last
evening of the fire which threatened
the Enlow home at 1I9 Blondeal
street. caused quite a bit of comment
among the older residents because OF
the antiquity of the place. j. F.
Daugherty, perhaps the oldest resi-.
dent in the city in point of time. in
speaking of the matter today. said
that the old Rapids Hotel, which
was torn down to construct the two
story frame dwelling on Blondeau
street. was built in the late thirties.
When Mr.. Daugherty came here in
1874, the hotel was then in its prime.
The old road house faced the river
and was possibly hundred feet In
frontage. On the first floor were a
grocery store. saloon and other
places for trading. The hotel rooms
for dodgers were 'on the second floor
Originally. the place was built OF logs
and frame portions were added to 1t
A man by the name of James Wise
owned the building and probably bull

Coleman owned the place.
