his wife told him that they were being

When the old man delivered his

her husband and together they went
into the kitchen and measured the 20

The girl caught her breath, and
leaned back from his reaching, eager

her close to him. When he raised
his head from hers his voice sounded

Very dignifisd Ted looked as he

hungry, pleading gaze haunted her
day after day?--and the touch of his
hand was different from all other
hands, when they happened to dance
together, They did not talk while
they danced, and Irma smiled when
she thought of those dances. Even
Aunt Frances could not guess the
possibilities of a dance for getting
better acquainted, even when one did
not talk.

Before he knew or thought of what

and taken her hands She dropped
her head and Ted bent quickly and
kissed her-not OH the lips. She gave
him no chance, but on the cheek, her

The next instant Ted found himself

1ILLINOIS STATESMAN"
BECOMES A MONTHLY

1.-THE Illinois Statesman" publish
ed at Springfield, has been changed
from a weekly to monthly maya
zine. The subscription price has
ben reduced from 81 to 81 year.
The reasons for the change are thus
stated by the publishers, the Illinois
Company:
when The Statesman was es-
tablished as a weekly IL was in way
experimental. Nothing precisely like
1t, with a field covering a single
state, had been previously attempted
and whether the purpose could be
best served by weekly or a monthly
magazine could be determined by a
fair try out
After an experience of six
months. we were convinced that it Is
desirable to change to a monthly. II
will be conceded, we think, that in
quality The Statesman is equal to
any of the great national weeklies
Yet, with one exception, all of the
national weeklies of a high standard
have subscription price at least
double that of The Statesman 'Har-
per's Weekly and 'Leslie's Weekly,
for example, are each "a year,
while Golfers is $3.50 year. 1t
has been the desire from the outset,
while maintaining high standard,
to make The Statesman a popular
publication, and this can be done
only by maintaining a popular sub
scrlption price-a price within the
reach of the masses.
Thus 1t has become choice be-
tween advancing the subscription
price or changing from a weekly to
monthly In choosing to make The
Statesman monthly, we believe
that several advantages are assured
1t will be possible to enlarge the
magazine and to add several new
features; and. the reduction of the
subscription price will vastly in
crease circulation possibilities.
"All paid-in-adgance subscriptions
will be proportionafely extended; or,
II any subscriber so desires and will
SO request. proportionate share OF
the amount paid will be refunded )"
1t is announced that the first
monthly number will appear about
November 25.

Miss Gertrude Henaricks, dep uty sheriff. is the way she signs her name on the sheriff's big paper.

BOND IS MADE BY
 APPEAL TO FATHER

Anniston. June 24-(Special )-Tom Fow- Ter. the young white man who has been held f the Calhoun county jail for the plice n the murder of Shelt and Sarge Kennedy in the pitched battle which eliminated the Pearce- Kennedy feud on January IA, has returned to the home of his father at Lauren, s. C., following the visit here of District Attorney R. A. Cooper, who secured the young man s release from prison on a bond of 5000.
 It has been learned that Fowler is a member of good South Carolina fam fly, and that his present predicament is a repetition of the oft-repeated story of the "Prodigal Son. His father is said to be a prominent merchant of Lauren, and the son could have secured his re- lease some time ago had he not held his fathers good name in such high regard. The aged Fowler is afflicted, and the son, although steeped in sin, as he is said to be, still cherished memories of the happy home circle, and would not burden the waning years of his aged sire with his own sins. His attorneys finally suc- eeeded in getting him to reveal his pre- dicament to his father, however, and as soon as this was done, his bond was furnished.
 None of the alleged feudists are now in Jail here, Bill Kennedy and John Eaton having been baied out few days be- fore Fowler. Ada Kennedy has been out some time, while Dr. 'Pearce and his son, Cross Pearce, are in the peniten- tiary, pending action on their appeal to the supreme court.

More than 50 of the towns progressive business and professional men met at the court house and proceeded to organize them selves into a club for the purpose of push ing the claims of Clanton for the respect and admiration of the world.

It was the consensus of opinion that Clanton had too long already depended upon her nat ural resources to develop themselves without the aid or assistance of her citi- zens; that spirit of paddle your canoe and I'll paddle mine'' was prevalent, and until this was overcome Clanton could not hope to occupy the position in the commercial world to which her geograph- ical position and her natural resources en- titled her.
