Greenyille News: Anticipating tn

Greenville News: Anticipating the
going into effect on July Of the mar
riage license law in South Carolina.
Probate Judge John T. Bramlett has
laid in a bOuntiful supply of blanks.
But, sad to relate, il is highly proba-
BILE that the supply of blanks will have
to be consigned to the wastebasKet
and new ones imported between now
and the date on which the new law
goes into effect. 1t Is agreed that the
new blanks are not made up according
to the statute made and PROVIDED by
the last legislature. The blanks are
issued by the state authorities and
were printed in Charleston. 1t was
stated that the law recently enacted
does not specify that the girl shall
appear before the county officer in
making application for license to mar
ry, but only the groom be shall ap-
pear. The new blanks make provision
for the girls appearance, and, there-
fore it is supposed that they are IN
correct The documents received by
the judge of probate are formidable
looking articles, over foot long and
with blanks enough to be filled out and
oaths to subscribe to frighten a man
in ordinary circumstances. much less
near groom" Since the law was
passed county officers have been be-
sieged by agents representing engrav-
ing concerns with samples of fancy IL
censes on parchment, white vellum
and other high grade specimens OF the
paper makers art. But the state, Tor
the 81 fee, will only furnish the ordi-
nary blank, though 1t Is agreed tnat
those desiring to do so may turnlsn
their own blanks, having them as
elaborate as desired.

sickening foreboding of failure. But
after all. can a man fail who Is right ?"
Il don't believe it," was the ringing
answer which leaped to Stuarts lips.
I've had to face a crisis like this re-
Gently. I was beginning to hesitate
and think of a compromise. You've
helped me-"
Good luck, my boy" was the CHEEKY
answer. II was a poor soldier tonight
myself until the little weasel told me
an obvious lie and I took courage"
Funny If Bivens should do any
thing obvious"
Wasn't it? He pretended to have
come in mood Of generosity-his Of
fer of settlement inspired by love-"
THE devil must have laughed"
so did I-especially when he told
me that he; was engaged to be mar
ried."
"Engaged-to-be-m Stuart
made supreme effort to appear indif-
ferent-"to whom"
ITO Miss Nan Primrose, a young
lady l haven't the honor of knowing,
and he had the lying audacity to say
that he came at her suggestion"
Stuart tried to speak and his tongue
refused to move.
Il was frank enough to inform him
that he was a liar. For which, of
course, I had to apologize. Well,
you've helped me tonight, boy, more
than I can tell you. 1t helps an old
man to look into the eyes of youth and
renew his faith. Good night"
The doctor began to lower the lights,
and Stuart said mechanically.
Good night"
In a stupor of blind despair he slow
ly fumbled his way up to his room,
entered, and threw himself across the
bed without undressing. 1t was one
thing to preach, another to face the
thing itself alone in the darkness.
Through the shadows Of the long
night he lay with wide staring eyes,
gazing at the vision which would not
vanish-the face Of the woman he
loved-cold, white, pulseless, terrible
in its beauty, dead.

But If l don't see them?" the little
black eyes mildly asked.
Certainly! You can't see them.
| To you the city is merely a big flock
of sheep to be sheared, while to me
its myriad sounds are the music Of a
divine oratorio, throbbing with tears
and winged with laughter! To you,
the crowd are so many fools who may
be buncoed out of their goods, VIII
to me, some Of their eyes, seen but for
moment, look into mine with infinite
hunger and yearning, asking for
friendship, comradeship, and love.
And so, / call them my neighbors--
! these hurrying throngs who pass me
daily. Because they are my neighbors,
they are my friends. Their rights are
sacred. 1 will not rob, main, or kill
them. and l will defend them against
those who would"
With the last sentence the stalwart
figure lowered above the little finan-
cier in a moment Of instructive hos
tility.
Bivens merely shrugged his shoul
ders and answered in measured, care
full tones:
Then l suppose I'll have to fight
you whether l wish 1t or not?"
Yes, and you knew that before you
came here tonight. Your generous
impulse for a settlement on my own
terms is a shallow trick and it comes
too late. I'm not fighting my own bat
tie merely. I'm fighting for the peo-
pie. You have heard that l am begin
ming a suit for damages against your
Company
Bivens laughed in spite of himself,
bit his lips, and looked at the doctor.
Il assure you 1 had heard nothing
of such a suit, and now that l have
it does not even interest me-"
Then may ask the real reason for
this urgent call and request for a COM
promise OF our differences?"
You may" was the cheerful res
ponse. And l will answer frankly. I
am engaged to be married to Miss
Nan Primrose. The wedding is to oc-
cur in a few weeks. In some way she
learned of a possible conflict between
your interests and mine, and asked me
to settle them"
And, may 1 ask, why? l don't even
know Miss Primrose!"
"A woman's whim, perhaps. Posi-
bly, because our mutual friend, Mr..
Stuart, lives in your home, and she
feared to lose his friendship in the con-
fiict which might ensue."
The doctor was silent a moment and
glared angrily at his visitor.
"Bivens, you're a liar" he cried in a
sudden burst of rage.
The dark face flushed and the slim
little hand began to tremble.
II am your guest, DOCTOR"
Il beg your pardon, forgot myself"
Il assure you," the little financier
continued smoothly, that my inten-
tions were friendly and generous. Ny
only desire was to help you and make
you rich"
Again the doctors eyes blazed with
wrath and he completely lost his self
control.
Damn you, have asked for your
help or patronage? Its offer Is an in
suit! l want you to remember, sir.
that picked you up out of the streets
of New York, i'll, hungry, out of work,
friendless. and gave you your first
job
Bivens. breathing heavily, turned in
silence and hurried to the door. The
doctor followed.
With his hand on the knob, the A.
nancier turned, his face black with
hate and slowly said:
III make you live to regret this in
terview, Woodman!"
With a contemptuous grunt, the doc
tor closed the door.

Meteoric Showers.-How ma

Meteoric Showers--How many
know that the earth is getting larger
each year from TIE fall of meteoric
matter on it's surface and that such
matter is of no small weight? One
hundred tons a day is the estimate
made by Young. This, he says, would
make a layer one inch thick over the
entire earth in 1,OOO,O0O,OOO years II
we assume this meteoric matter to be
three times as heavy as water. But
another effect has to take place at the
same time. AS the earth is getting
larger the force of gravity gets larger,
and we are being attracted with more
force toward the sun. But the CEN
trifugal force keeping us away from
the sun gets much greater, too, ana, IN
fact, more so than the suns gravity,
the result being that we are gradually
increasing our distance from the glow
ing orb.-New York Tribune.
