vital questions she must 60, not to Pat, not to
her father, but to . stranger, a man Of whom
she had never heard until that night, a man
who presently entered with DR.. Mcguire fol-
lowed BY younger man carrying a handbag
and BY white capped, linen clothed nurse.
She was presently aware Of these people ex.
pecting her to trust her husbands life to them.
That they thought 1t quite in the nature Of
things that they should lay hands upon Pats
face and hair and fair, dear body, and they
expected her, to whom he belonged, to whom
his face and hair and body were the sacred
manifestations Of the divine power. that she
should 60 away and leave them to do as they
wished with him.
A wonderful thing IL a good professional
manner. DR.. Mckinney had 1t. He brought 1t
to bear upon Dorothy, and while she was still
fercely determining to stay with Pat at all
costs and against all persuasions she found
herself out in the hall, heard the door locked
behind her and, crouching against the wall, she
smelled the sickeningly sweet smell of ether.
1t carried her irresstibly back to the night
when Pity Pat was born, and then it merci-
fully carried her quite away to unconscious
ness. And It was Jarvis who found her face
downward on the ground outside her hus.
bands door. He picked her up and carried her
down to the others at the Are, and there the
Countess of Glamoran lay in her fathers arms
and cried like the little girl he had so often
comforted at Edgecombe, while science did
its work in the quiet room up stairs.

PRESTO WELDER FOR GREEN
WOOD.

The Henderson & Baird Hardware
Company, always progressive, have in
stalled at a great EXPENSE Prestolite
Welder. We have been told that there
are only two or three of these machines
in the South, this being the only one in
the State. With this machine bronze,
brass, steel, aluminium, in fact any and
all kinds Of castings can be welded and
made stronger than before breakage.
These people will make speciality Of
welding broken automobile parts, such
as crank cases, transmission cases, CYL
inders, springs, drop forgings, bicycle
frames, etc. This will be great con.
venience for parties owning machinery
and automobiles adjacent to Green
wood. Expensive castings that would
ordinarily be thrown aside al useless
can be welded in few minutes, as
good as new, thus saving a great delay
in ordering, and the expense Of purch-
asing new parts, also, carrying charg-
es. Mr.. Sharpe, the head mechanic in
the Henderson & Baird Hardware Com
pany automobile department, took a
seven day course at the prestolite fac
tory in indianapolis, getting expert in
structions on the manipulation of the
Presto Welder.

BOY BURGLAR CAPTURED.

A negro boy, Willie Lanigan,
aged about l6 years, was captured
last Saturday night by Sam Cole
man, Jr., who obscrvedthe boy on
Mrs. Quain's gallery while on his
way home. Mr.. Coleman took the
negro, who couldn't explain what
he was doing there, to the City
Hall and turned him over to the
police for investigation.
The boy finally confessed that
he and another negro boy (who
is out OF town and has not yet
been arrested) had been going
into different residences for the
past year and stealing watches,
jewelry, etc. He said their plan
was to watch people leaving their
houses, then go to the door and
knock loudly, and If no one res
ponded they went in and took
what they wanted.
The little thief told the officers
that he and his partner took the
watches and jewelry stolen to L.
M. Hedener's repair shop on Car
rollton Avenue and sold them to
him for money. The officers went
forthwith to Hedener's shop and
demanded the stolen goods in
his possession. AT first the old
man stoutly denied having bought
anything from the negro boys; but
when the officers said they would
have to search his place, he got
busy and produced some rs or 80
gold and silver-plated watches and
a lot of nice jewelry which he had
packed in an old rubbish box in
the rear Of his shop, several of
the articles being readily recoo-
nized as stolen property from
different citizens. The watches
and iewelry were carried to the
City Marshal's office, where some
IL or Is people have already in.
spected, identified and secured
their property, and others who
have had anything stolen are re.
quested to come forward and in
spect the stock on hand at police
headquarters.
Hedener, who is 81 years old,
was arrested and placed in Jail,
where he and the negro boy will
be held (unless they make bond)
until the next grand jury meets
and circuit court disposes of the
serious charges againstfhem. The
value of the stolen articles makes
penitentiary offences for each Of
the guilty parties.

NOTES BY THE WAY.

Editor The Commonwealth:
II is often said that fruit will
not do well in this Delta country,
but had you gone this summer
into the orchard of Mr.. Edward
Jones, near Schlater, you would
have changed your mind. Mr..
Jones has about 40 five-year-old
peach trees that were simply
loaded with as fine fruit as ! ever
saw grow anywhere. The trees
had been sprayed four times dur
ing the spring, thus insuring per-
feet fruit; in fact it was a hard
thing to find a faulty or wormy
peach in the whole orchard. Had
the crop been gathered and sold
| expect il would have brought at
least four hundred dollars, and
thisfrom less than two acres OF
ground.
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1912-08-30

1t makes one feel good to ride
around the country and see the
splendid prospect for a corn crop.
Hundreds and hundreds of acres
over the county that is now
practically made and will yield any
where from 40 to rs bushels to
the acre, while there are yet more
hundreds of acres of younger
corn that has a fine prospect of
making a fine yield. Mr.. Johnson,
the Illinois party who purchased
the Lee place on the Webb branch,
says he never saw finer crops,
even in the great corn belt of his
native State. We heard a promi-
nent planter predict that the GER
cal would be selling at 40cts. be-
fore Christmas.

thousands OF dollars per month,
shDuld the bank change him at the
time he was needed most to continue
the savings?
IF-A manager of mercantile
establishment, through systemaized
and economic effort, increases the
profits materially, would you dis
charge him in the middle of the
pspft-making?
4i-A superintendent Of q mine,
through sheer force of business
ability. showed an increase of over
$1,000 per month in revenue, would
you '.fire" him becauee of this
ability, just at the time his work
needed him worst?
James Il. Pearce, secretary of state,
has saved to the stase in the forty
two months of his incumbency, a
total of $l38. 8.9lO.05. or an average OF
$3, 259.78 per month. Why should he,
because he happens to be state
official, be dismissed from service
when you would not apply the same
rule to a man in private employ?
Don't you think that Pearce's
record as mOney-saver to, and u
money-getter for the state, deserves
endorsement?
