Jackson Miss, March 1S.-(Special)- Governor Noel has been requested to ap- roint mo delegates to the National Good Roads congress to be held in the city of Birmingham May 23-2s, and has the matter under consideration. The dele gation being a large one. and according to the governors idea, an important one, he will call on citizens of the several counties to suggest the names Of such men as are particularly interested in the matter of good roads, and who would be likely to attend.
 This congress is indorsed by many of the organizations of the United States that are interested in agricultural, industrial and transportation development. for which reasons the governor of Missis- sppi would like to see every county or the state represented by live and pro gressive men. He understands there are t to he addresses and discussions by sev- eral of the road-building experts of the country, and that every phase of the improvement of the public highways Of the country will be threshed over by men who are specially qualified.
 Governor Noel suggests it would be a good idea for members of every board of supervisors to attend this gathering of road-building experts, and will no doubt take great pleasure in appointing all such as may be suggested to him.
 The war department has advised GOV ernor Noel that there are vacancies at West Point Military academy in cadet ships credited to the state at large, and to the First, Fourth and Eighth congress sonal districts, as well as alternates from the Third, Fifth and Sixth districts. Ex- aminations physical and mental, are to be held at Washington Barracks, D. C.; ; Fort McPherson Ga: Jefferson Barracks, q Mo. Fort Logan H. Roots, Ark, and {. Fort Sam Houston, Texas, on May 2.
 While this is a matter left entirely to the senators and congressman from the respective states, and Governor Noel has no connection whatever with the propo- stion, he thinks wide notoriety should be given, cso that young men aspiring to . military life may take advantage of the opportunity

CHAPTER X.
SIOcum Price,

All tina; day Hannibal was haunted by
the memory of what he had heard anC
seen at Slossons tavern. More thar
this, there was his terrible sense of loss
and the grief he could not master
Marking the course of the road west
ward, he clung to the woods, where his
movements were as stealthy as the very
shadows themselves.
Presently, as he stumbled forward, he
came to a small clearing, IN the center
of which stood a log dwelling. The
place seemed deserted.
Tilted back in a chair by the door OF
this house a man was sleeping. The
hoOt of an owl from a nearby oak
reused him. He yawned and stretched
himself, thrusting out his fat legs and
extending his great arms. Then, becom-
ing aware of that small figure which
had stolen up the path as he slept and
now stood before him in the uncertain
light, he fell to rubbing his eyes with
the knuckles of his plump hands.
who are you?" he demanded.
I'm Hannibal Wayne Hazard" said
the boy The man quilted his chair.
''WelI-I am glad to know you, Han
nfbal Wayne Hazard. l am Slocum
Price-Judge Slocum Price, sometime
major general of militia and ex-member
of Congress, to mention few of those
honors my fellow-countrymen have
thrust upon me-" He made a sweeping
gesture with his two hands outspread
and bowed ponderously.
The boy saw a man Of sixty, whose
gross and battered visage told its own
story. There was a sparse white frost
about his ears; and his eyes, pale blue
and prominent, looked out from under
beetling brows. He wore a shabby plum
colored coal and tight, drab breeches.
About his fat neck was a black stock,
with just a suggestion of soiled linen
showing above it His figure was corpu-
lent and unwieldy.
You don't belong in these parts, do
you?' asked the judge, when he had
completed his scrutiny.
NO, sir" answered the boy. He
glanced of down the road where lights
were visible among the trees What
town is that?'

neither sufficiently drunk nor sufficiently
sober to cope with the possibilities your
question offers. Have you so much as 50
cents about your" and the judges eyes
narrowed to a slit above their folds of
puffy flesh. Hannibal keeping his glance
fixed on the mans face, fell back STEP

sudden vehemence. You shall be my
guest for the night They are a pack of

voice. II know 'em. for they've plucked

made light and presently a candle was
sputtering in his bands. He fitted it into

MISPLACED CHARITY.

A sad-eyed stranger, wearing a thin
overcoat, shiny at the elbows, came
into a Pennsylvania avenue restau-
rant during the noon hour a day or
two ago. He stood about nervously
until the head waiter came up to him.
Got any stale bread?" he inquired.
Two prominent clubmen were din
ing at a table within earshot. Before
the head waiter had time to reply
to the strangers inquiry, one of these
diners had leaped to his feet.
"Set that man down at a table-at
our table, by George!" he said, "and
give him a good meal. Wen see
that he gets all he wants to eat. Why,
it's awful to think of a man like that
going about begging for stale bread
and here we sit with steak and mush-
rooms in front of us. Looks like a
man who has seen better days, too"
Then to the stranger:
"How about it, my MANI. You
weren't always going about asking
for the crumbs off the tables, I'll
wager"
The stranger smiled quietly.
There appears to be some slight
misunderstanding, he ventured. 81

waiter fellow to sell me little stale
