CHAPTER v.
The One Way.


Keith said nothing for some mo-
ments, staring up at the light stealing
IN through the window grating. his
mind once again active. The eyes Of
the black man had the patient look
OF a dog as they watched evidently
he had cast aside all responsibility,
now that this other had come. Final
ly Keith spoke slowly:
I'VE are In much the same position.
Neb, and the fate of one Is liable to
be the fate Of both. This Is my story"
and briefly as possible, he ran over
the circumstances which had brought
him there, putting the situation clear
enough for the negro's understand
Ing, without wasting any time upon
detail. Neb followed his recital with
bulging eyes, and an occasional excla-
nation At the end he bursG forth:
"Yo' say dar was two Oh dem white
men murdered-one an OIL man wild a
gray beard. an de odder bout thirty?
Am dat 1t, Massa Jack, an dey had TO-
span oh mules, an runnin' hoss?"
Yes"
AN how far out was it?"
About sixty miles"
"Oh, de good Lawd," and the negro
threw up his hands dramatically. Dat
sutt'nly am my outfit. Dat am Massa
Waite an John Sibley"
You mean the same men with
whom you came here from Indepen-
dence?"
Neb nodded, overcome by the dis
covery.
But what caused them to run such
a risk" Keith insisted. Didn't they
know the Indians were on the war
path?"
"Sho'; I heard 'em talkin' bout dat,
but Massa Waite was Jest boun' foh
to git movin'. He didn't pear to be
'fraid oh no Injuns; reckned dey'd
nebber stop him. dat he knowed eb-
berry chief on de plains. I reck'n dat
he did. too"
But what was he SO anxious to get
away for?"
IL dunno, Massa, | done heerd 'em
talk some bout dey plans, an bout
some gal dey wanted ter fin, but
didn't git no right sense to It. De
Gtn'ral, he was a might still man."
"The General? Whom do you mean?
Not Waite"
John Sibley done called him dat"
Then Keith remembered-ju Just a
dim. misty thread at first, changing
slowly into clear recollection. He
was riding with dispatches from Long
street TO Stonewall Jackson, and had
been shot through the side. The
first OF Jackson's troops he reached
was brigade OF North Carolinians,
commanded by General WaIte-Gen-
eral Willis Waite. He had fallen from
his horse at the outposts, was brought
helpless to the Generals tent. and an
other sent on with the papers. And
Mrs. Waite had dressed and bandaged
his wound. That was where he had
seen that woman's face before. with
It's haunting familiarity. He drew the
looket from beneath his shirt, and
gazed at the countenance revealed,
with new intelligence There could be
no doubt-it was the face of her who
had cared for him SO tenderly In that
tent at Manassas before the fever
came and he had lost consciousness.
And that, then, was Willis Waite ",

C1mmaron Crossing, and for whose
death he had been arrested. Twas q

PRETTY TABLE DECORATION
Nasturtium Affords More Charming
Effects Than Any other Of the
Summer Blossoms.

No other summer blossom affords
more charming effects for table deco
ratiOns than does the nasturtium. Its
brilliant blooms of scarlet, ruby,
pink, yellow, cream or maroon ac-
cord with almost any color scheme.
Its beautiful leaves are wonderful
ly decorative, while the long blossom
ing tendrils add very graceful touch
es to a centerpiece Nasturtiums
are at their loveliest in a bowl or
vase Of clear glass, through which
can be seen their beautiful stems. In
one table decoration in which they
were made, there was utilized a rib
bon decoration of grayish-bluish
green satin that harmonized excel
lently with the peculiar silvery hue
of nasturtium leaves. The ribbon
was run from corner to corner Of the
table and in its center was placed a
bowlful of flame tinted nasturtiums,
with wealth of leaves. In the half
diamond-shaped spaces left on the
snowy linen, cut glass dishes flied
with bonbons, salted nuts and Olives
were set. The effect was simple as it
was charming.

DYNAMITING CHURCH BELFRT
Method Adopted to Remove opPe'
Part of an Old Edifice at
CnSueux, France.

The removal of a belfry by the use
of dynamite seems a rather hazard
Gus method of getting rid OF IT,
Nevertheless it was the means re-
sorted to when the upper structure
of an old edifce at CinqueuX'
France, built in the eleventh cen
tury, began to show signs of ap-
proacing dissolution, and endangered
the rest Of the church.
The amputation of the belfry was
performed under the direction OF a
captain of regiment of army en-
gineers. Three charges of powder
were exploded before the old belfry
succumbed. Great care had to be
taken that the entire edifce would
not be irreparably destroyed, but as
it was intended to give the entire
structure a thorough overhaullng the
slight damage to the main part OF
the building caused by the explo'
sions was not serious consideration,
The charges of powder were SO
placed that the inner supports OF the
belfry were most affected, and con-
scquently, the greater part of the
heavy stone and debris toppled IN
ward. The operation was considered
very successful.

Nine. Alexandrine Corsini of Mos
COW. member OF the Russian nobil-
ity, who is deyoting her life and for
tune to the education OF the peasant
classes of Russia, has been criticising
American women in comparison with
the women of Russia.
American women do not realize
what they ask she says. THE hus-
bands are working themselves to
death and giving everything to their
wives, and the more they get the
more they think they ought to have.
THE men are to blame for this So
cial unrest in America They humor
their wives too much. They go shop
ping with them and carry their bun
dies, and some of them, have found,
will get up in the morning and cook
their own meals.
THE private schools of France and
Germany would not exist but for the
American children whose wealthy
mothers can't take time from their
clubs and receptions to rear them in
their own homes.
1T is very hard for a young man to
get started in America. How can he
marry and support family when his
wife wants to wear silk stockings?
"In Russia the women spend pure
money on their homes than un their
dresses. In America you can see
women on the streets dressed like the
Queen of Sheba, and if you follow
them to their homes you would proba-
bly, find that they live in what might
be called novels"
