Life at the ONCE went on much the
way 1t had always gone.
IN spite Of their high resolve, there
was a very measurable degree Of the
furtive In their meetings. In ssence,
these meetings were stolen. They did
not ride out brazenly together In the
face OF the world. On the contrary,
they met always unobserved, she rid
ing across the many-gated backroad
from Berkeley to meet him halfway.
Nor did they ride on any save unfre-
quented roads, preferring to cross the
second range Of hills and travel among
= church-going farmer folk who would
scarcely have recognised even Day
light from his newspaper photographs.
He found Deds a good horsewoman-
good not merely In riding, but In en-
durance. There were days when they
covered sixty, seventy, and even
eighty miles; nor did Dede ever claim
any day too long. nor-another strong
recommendation to Daylight-did the
hardest day ever see the slightest
chafe of the chestnut sorrel's back.
"A sure enough hummer" was Day
lights stereotyped but ever enthusiast
tic verdict to himself.
His lifelong fear OF woman had orig
mated out OF Misunderstanding and
had also prevented him from reaching
any understanding. Dede on horse
back, Dede gathering peoples on a
summer hillside, Dede taking down
dictatton in her swift shorthand
strokes--all this was comprehensive
to him. But he did not know the
Dsde who so quickly changed from
mood to mood, the Dede who refused
s~teadfastly to ride with him and then
suddenly consented, the Dede In
whose eyes the golden glow forever
waxed and waned and whispered
hints and messages that were not for
his ears. In all such things he saw
the glimmering profundities of ex,
acknowledged their lure, and accept
% them as incomprehensible.
But through 1t all ran the golden
thread OF love. AT FIRST he had been
content Just to ride with Dede and to
be on comradely terms with heri but

STORIES OF SUCCESS WINNERS

Eleven years ago country boy. aged IS, and named Thomas w. How ard came to Birmingham and went to work in the rod mill at Ensley as a laborer. Today he is treasurer of the E. E. Forbes Piano company, and Is regarded as one of the most promis- eng young business men in a city where young men are more to the fore than n any other in the south.
 The reader will say that MT. How ards rise has been rapid. True in one sense, but that doesn't touch the heart sf this story of success winning. MT. Howard has climbed. not scared, sky rocket fashion-elimbed with cool mead and with the nerve to pause on a sung and pull himself together for the next step upward
 As lad in his fathers country store at Henagar, some miles off the railroad. in Dekalb county, this state, he gained a knowledge of the clements of bookkeeping, and taste for business life that red him to the front of big business, Birmingham. Arrived here, he wasted no tine in waiting for something to turn up, but went out and seized a job with his hands. He saved his money for the next step. which was on the plat farm of an electric car as conductor. Sse larger wage enabled him to save faster for the purpose which he kept ever before him-the requirement of a business training which would put him fairly In the swim. At last, with the sum in his hands, he turned loose the bell cord forever and entered the Wheeler Business college of this city, enrolling as a student in the steno- graphic department From the col 'lege he went into the office of T. F.. Johnson Machinery company as stem ographer, and later took charge of the books of Paul Sharpe Then he got a call clear across the continent to San Francisco into the Wells-Fargo Nevada National bank as bookkeeper. There he remained until the big earthquake awoke him to a full re- alization of the solid, permanent ac- tivities of Birmingham. Returning to this city. he secured a position with the E. E.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Our American Kings

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Many of the newspapers of the country
 are having a great deal to say about the
 marriage of Miss Gould to Lord Decies.
 All of this fummery sounds un-American
 to me. No doubt this gentleman has won the hand and heart of an amiable, bright and handsome young woman, and trust that her husband Is not simply an elegant man, formed to adorn society, but man of real worth I confess to being little selfish about these fellows crossing the sea to find a wife. The marriage of an American beauty to lord may be en-
 tirely charming, but why not some high
 bred American gentleman win such a prize. and keep the girl and the millions at home.
 No doubt Lady Decies will shine re- splendent among Lord Decies' associates, and I hope their marriage will prove happy one. The late Mon. J. l.. M. Curry. native of Talladega, told me while he was in Paris that a lady living in the same house said to him one day, You need only one thing in America to make it the greatest of all countries" And
 please, madam. what is that? "A few lords and dukes" The same day John C. Breckenridge called to see Mir. Curry, and upon leaving the house this lady ex-
 citedly approached MT. Curry and asked
 who the gentleman was. "He is nobody
 Mir. Curry, please tell me who the gen.
 tleman is; he is the handsomest man
 ever looked at in my life.' That. madam,
 is John C. Breckenridge of Kentucky, one of our American kings"
 I desire now to put these foreigners on notice that If Miss Helen Gould should ever decide to get married that we would be very glad for her to marry one of our American kings.

PLOT FOR INJURING
 FARMERS EXPOSED

Atlanta, Ga, February 11.-What pur- ports to be a plot to distribute boil weevils throughout the cotton raising districts of Georgia and South Carolina was exposed today when Governor-eect Hoke Smith gave out for publication a letter received by him telling of the pro posed movement.
 According to the letter, which was un- signed, two men, one from Texas and the other believed to be from Chicago, have in their possession about 100000 live insects which, it is their intention to distribute. The writer declared he knew nothing of the men personally and had promised to conceal their names but felt 1t his duty to do all in his power to frustrate their scheme and therefore sent the facts as he knew them to MT Smith.
 The matter is being investigated by Commissioner of Agriculture Hudson and State Entomologist Lee Worsham.

Possibly no man in the Bessemer dis etrict is more widely known than IS Alex Little. It might be further said that he is one of the best known men in Jefferson county. He is one of those pioneers who in the early days of Bes- semer saw its possibilities and who pinned their faith in its future. Like all true Bessemerites he Is loyal to local institutions. for no matter how much the aforesaid may scrap" among themselves, they are always united when it comes to fighting the common enemy.
 Alex is also some politician and then some more; if you have any doubts on that score just cross swords with him at the next political battle and inc chances are that you will be fully convinced. In the days when candi- dates for office were selected in con yention assembled he was generally member of the Bessemer delegation and that same Bessemer delegation was always a thorn in the flesh or the body polite until they were rec ognized and their "requests' concurreo in.
 Having been mixed up in every po- Iitical battle for the past 20 years, he has. of course, made some political enemies, and by the same token many political friends but like unto the great Grover Cleveland, he is loved for the enemies he made"
 True as steel to his friends. he nelth- CT shirks or dreads tilt with those who differ from him politically. Ills strongest characteristic, however, IS his love of family, and having accum- ulated a fair competency they are the opiects of his tender care and anec- tion.
 Alex dearly loves a joke, especially if 1t is on the other fellow, and rare ly loses a chance to string lrieho or foe when opportunity ofrers
