Where is the doctor?" she asked.
Evidently Doctor Paulus had been
listening. for at the murmured ques-
ton he stepped in and came across
the room TO Mrs. Tabor She faced
him shrinkingly, but nerved herself
for the question.
why have you taken her from me?a
she asked brokenly, at last.
Doctor Paulus' face was very kind
and very serious.
Il know that now Il seems So" he
answered, but all that for you will pas 8
away. 1t is not that we have taken
the daughter that is dead away. For
you see now, and you will understand
how all that came only out of your
self, like a picture that you made of
your own sorrow Ii was In a circle,
how you made by grieving this grief
like thing from outside coming TO
make you grieve the more. A circle
that seems as well to begin at one
point as at another, Is II not so? And

not any longer for you that other
world which never was, which was a
burden and a trouble always to you
because IL was made out OF trouble.
But this good world you have again.
and OF that only the good part, all
your dear ones here truly returned
because that evil nothing Is gone from
between. Is IL not so?"
She had been facing him like crea-
ture at bay, silent and resisting, the
horror in her strained little by little
into desperation as he spoke. do
not know what held US from interfer-
ence, for the man was blindly totter-
ing on toward a precipice, clumsily ig-
norant of the condition he must face;
and every fatuous word grated like
sand between the teeth. One had a
desire to lay physical hands upon him.

sake"
Doctor Paulus never turned his head.
BE still, young man." he said quietly,
and Reid's voice died into stammer
as he went steadily on.

Subscriptions Are Close to
the $500 Mark

That dollar fund of the Carnegie Lii

ly day passes that Mrs. Lucy c. Tay-
Tor, the gifted and energetic libra
rian, does not receive several volun-

1t was begun as an experiment, but
has proved of great benefit and adj
vantage to the library-that institu-
ton of slender means.
The subscriptions sent in yesterday
raises the total receipts from this

feels confident that the $500 figure will
easily be attained this week What

Still THE FARMS SELL
HERE in OLD SUMTER
Sixty Dollars Per Acre in
Several. Sales

Americas realty dealers are as busy
now as they were earlier in the year
in selling Sumter county farming land
to Carolinians and others who come
to this land of promise, and in every
sale thus effected largely increased
values are reflected.
/ The Southern Land Co, of Americas,
has thus been very busy recently, and
reports several sales.
Mr.. J. S. Lewis, of Tarboro, N. G.,
has just effected the purchase of the
former Kidd farm, three miles west Of
Americas, containing 465 acres. The
round price paid for this place by Mr..
Lewis was $11,625
This farm was owned by Mr.. J. g.
Britain, who bought it six months ago
as an investment, for $4,000, thus near
Iy doubling his money in that brief
time.
Another sale rejecting fine values
here was that of one hundred acres
of land north of Americas on the FL
laville road, at sixty dollars per acre,
or $500 for the little hundred acre
farm, which could have been bought
at $40 few years ago.
The purchaser was Mr.. w. C. Owens,
of Little Rock. S. c., who comes to
Sumter to reside.
In addition to this purchase, Mr..
Owens bought 100 acres in the Seven
.teenth district belonging to Mr.. George
oliver, of Americas, and 80 0acres ly-
ing near Myrtle Springs, belonging to
Mr.. R. l.. McMath, paying for the lat
ter farm the round price of $4,000.
Mr.. McMath bought the farm six
months ago for $4,000. thus clearing
$1100 in the transaction
Mr.. r. P. Stackhouse, who has
come to Americas from South Carolina
to reside, and has invested probably
100000 in real estate here, will be
associated with the Southern Land Co,
after April LIST, valued acquisition,

All of the sales above reported were
made through this company.

after Diaz, what is the question
that the Cientificos are now asking
themselves" concludes Professor Powell.
Can they-this little group of able but
rapacious men-maintain themselves :?
They have great holdings of lands and
stocks. They control the financial in
only by and through the power of Diaz
to hold the country and the people in
check No, there is one other source of
security for this band-their alliance
with foreign investors and foreign in
terests in Mexico They regard this
as their insurance and security And
quite rightly, the great debt of the
country, nearly half a billion, is held
chiefly in the United States and Ger
many. Besides this, citizens of Great
Britain, Germany and the United States
have investments in Mexico amounting
to over billion and a half, and 65
per cent of this is American.
How long, think you, would the gov
ernments of England France and Ger
many permit a disturbance in Mexico
which threatened their interests or the
lives of their subjects. German invest

Monroe doctrine as would be brought

But it is the United States after all,
which is most vitality concerned in the
solution Of the Mexican problem, and
it is American financiers who will bring
about, sooner or later, an American in
