On her right sat her husband, some
what self-conscious in the dignity Of
his position as chief mourner; on her

few words of prayer; at the foot Of the
bed crouched old Aunt Judy; and at
the head stood Sister Roxy Dristow
waving large turkey-feather fan to

"Sistah Juliana," said the pastor,
anxiously, how does yo' feel in yo'
sperrit, Sistah Juliana?"
Not even the culver Of an eyelid
betrayed that the recumbent figure
understood his remark. Her husband
leaned forward and took her hand in
his, but it fell limp and neryeless from
his grasp. Mrs. Bristow Immediately
restored it to its former position.
"Hit am mo- fttin', Brothah Jack
son." she said, severely, 80 a soul

Brother Jackson groaned heavily in
response.
Take me wild yo', Juliana," he en-
treated, earnestly, "take me wild yo'."
Old Aunt Judy raised her quavering
voice in indignant protest.
Don yo' do hit, Juliana," she cried,
quickly. Cit away tub glory 'thout

"Aun' Judy" demonstrated the pas
tor, sadly, "whut yo' done say am

Take me wild yo', Juliana," repeated
the sorrowing husband, 81 wants tub

"'Taint noways likely yo's gwine

muttered Aunt Judy, unkindly.
"Brothah Reese" interposed Mrs.
Bristow, hastily, KANT yo' light de

"I done set huh gropin' soul on de
straight an narrah way twict in de
las houah Sistah Roxy" responded
Brother Reese, huskily, "an' meh mouf

It appeared to be a matter of indif-
ference to Sister Juliana whether her
way was lighted by prayer or dark
ened by neglect.

Jackson, in properly subdued accents,
"dey's cookin' de funeral ham. Reck-
on yo' mought step out an see whut

And Brother Reese stepped out with
some celerity-
"Brothah Jackson" said Mrs. Bris-
tow, softly, 81 feels fo' yo', Brothah
Jackson"
81 knows yo does, Sistah Roxy" he
replied gratefully
An almost imperceptible movement
stirred the surface of the patchwork
quilt, and both watchers concentrated
their attention upon it for moment.
"De rusle O. de Daith Angil," whis-
pered Mrs. Bristow, with long sweep
of her fan; "he done huvvah ovah Sis

"He flap he wings an pass huh by

awe-struck tones, and again they
lapsed into silence, while Aunt Judy
raised her head and gazed intently at
the bed.

heavy sigh.

Uncle Sam Has Glut of Gold on Hand

subject to your call. He feels com.
placent over the outlook.
George Roberts says the govern
ment has thousand million gold
coins in its vaults, and George Rob-
erts knows because he saw 'em count
ed. He says its enough to last US
for a generation and he and Uncle
Sam are not going to make any more
gold coins until the twenty years are
up and the pretty new gold coins are
SO badly used up that 1t will be time
to call them in and send them to the
melting pot.
That's the reason. also. why the
mints Of the country were closed in
some instances and in others restrict
ed to the making of pennies and the
smaller coins. The new policy of the
government issuing certificates
against the bullion in the mint instead
of making the money out of the gold
has saved the government 100000.
according to Director of the Mint Rob-
erts, and one of the reasons for this
is that the people prefer the paper
money for actual use and for circu-
lation.

decades as "the boy murderer OF Bos-

spent 81 years in solitary confinement

will take such action; but to give the

The very next afternoon the same

Owing to a miscalculation the robber
was not successful in obtaining any
cash, but he succeeded in escaping as
did his companions in the auto.
This series Of crimes in such quick
succession has alarmed the police,
who see vast possibilities in the auto
mobile as an aid to the criminal ele-
ment and they feel utterly unable to
cope with the situation. The automo-
bile criminals, as proved in the jewell

girl, who would not have white man
as suitor, caused c. M. Love, who
has been passing as white man. to
admit that he was a negro. The ad-
mission resulted in his being SEN
fenced to pay fine Of 500 or serve
30 days in the chain gang.
Love had been IN Spartansburg only
a short time. He has the facial char
acteristics of a Caucasian. straight
black hair and mustache. His dark
complexion would readily pass Tor
sunburn. He applied for room and
board in the home Of white family
and was accepted without question
The white persons with whom he has
associated on terms Of equality are
highly indignant.
