air of one who had a secret OF great
moment to impart. Ever hear tell

the look of disappointment on the
faces of his new friends.
Are you ever heard OF royalty?'

wandering glance.
You mean kings?"

CHAPTER XIII.
Bob Yancy Finds Himself.

Bob Yancy Finds Himself.
Mr.. Yancy awoke from a long
dreamless sleep; heavy-lidded, his
eyes slid open. For moment he
struggled with the odds and ends OF
memory, then he recalled the fight at
the tavern, the sudden murderous at
tack, the fierce blows Slosson had
dealt him, the knife thrust which had
ended the struggle. Therefore, the
bandages that now swathed his head
and shoulders; therefore, the need
that he should be up and doing-for
where was Hannibal?
Suddenly a shadow fell obliquely
across the foot OF his narrow bed,
and Cavendish, bending his long body
somewhat, thrust his head in at the
opening. He found himself looking
into pair of eyes that for the first
time in many long day held the
light of consciousness.
How are you. stranger" he de-
manded, In a soft drawl
where am II" The words were
a whisper on Yancy's bearded lips.
We'll. sir, you are in the Tennes-
see river TO certain. Polly you jest

But Polly had heard Cavendish
speak. and the murmur Of Yancy's

voice in reply. Now her head ap-
peared beside her husbands.
La, you are some better, amt
you, sirH" she cried, smiling down on
him. IT'S been right smart OF a
spell, too; yes, sir, you've laid like
you was dead, and not TO- a matter OF
hours either-but days"
How long?"
We'll, nigh on to three weeks"
They saw Yancy's eyes widen with
a look of dumb horror.
And you don't know nothing about
my nevvy?-you amt seen or heard
of him, ma'amT" faltered Yancy.
Polly shook her head regretfully.
Ten or thereabouts, ma'am. He
were a heap OF comfort to me" and
the whisper on Yancy's lips was won
derfully tender and wistful. He closed
his eyes and presently, lulled BY the
soft ripple that bore them company,
fell into a restful sleep.

my grandfather said he never
knowed a man with the same aver
sion agin labor as his father had.
Folks put it down to laziness, but they
misjudged him, as come out later. yet
he never let on.
Then one day he got his hands ON
paper that had come acrost in a
ship from England. All at once, he
lit on something in the paper, and he
started up and let out yell like he'd
been shot. By gum, I'm the Earl OF
LAMBETH he says, and took out to
the nearest tavern and got b1lin' full.
Afterward he showed EN- the paper
and they seen with their own eyes
where Richard Keppel Cavendish.
Earl of Lam beth, had died In London.
My great grandfather told EN- that
was his uncle; that when he left
home there was several cousins-but
they'd up and died, so the title come
to him. He never done lick of work
after that.
I'm an orphan man of title now
and it's been my dream to take Polly
and the children and go back to Eng
land and seesthe king about my title.
Don't you reckon he's got the notion
the Cavendishes has petered out?"
Mr.. Yancy considered this likely.
The furious shrieking OF steam
packets whistle broke in upon them.
Its another OF them hawgs, want
in all the river!" said Mr. Cayendish,
and fed to the steering oar.

Dick had ought to know, TO he's

ly.
"Sho,' Richard Keppel Cavendish,
Earl of LAMBETH Sho', that was what
he was! Shot," and some transient
feeling of awe stamped itself upon
their small faces as they viewed the
long and timber figure of their par
emit.

all about It.

paradise sprigs, and now has dawn
ed the morning when hat crowns are
partially lost sight Of, enveloped in
an airy cloud of floating, graceful, In
comparably fine plumage.
Miss Gaby Deslys showed how many
feathers could be worn on one head
dress. But one should not forget that
the stage requires exaggeration In
styles and it's standards are to be fol-
lowed at some distance, as rule.
The price of paradise plumage is
soaring. She who owns it should use
it while the furore is on. 1t Is very
likely to be even in greater demand
this fall and is one of the safe invest
ments in millinery, for it will never
be wholly out of style. Many women
accumulate a paradise spray by bpy-
ing few feathers each season, finally
making up large cluster. 1t is best
to buy the natural color where this
course is pursued. They are very
beautiful and they can be successfully
cleaned.

White permo fabric-a silky mohair
and wool weave-is used here in
polonaise style over skirt of cerise

terial appears again in the collar sec

draped and fastens at the side with a
white silk button and loop matching
the fastening of the front of the
bodice. Neck frill and sleeve rutties
are of sheer white plated net. White
buckskin colonial pumps accompany
this summer costume. The soft belt
is of cerise.

PARASOL MATCHES THE HAT
That Is, in the Latest Designs 1t
Agrees With the Millinery Ac-
companyins 1t.

If the very decorative possibilities
of the parasol have been overlooked
of late, the warm weather has made
the fact clear that parasol adds the
last note of distinction to dress. Ev-
cry one interested in dress comments
upon the varied designs Of this sum-
mer's parasols and upon the amusing
way in which each one agrees with
the shape of the hat that is worn.
When feathers tower above the
crown of the chapeau the parasol
carried has an obliging cupola crown,
and If the millinery is of spreading
character then when the parasol Is
opened it Is seen that 1t is Japanese
like in its fiat aspect
Lace posed upon chiffon or yelled
with tulle is combination of mate
rails of acknowledged elegance for the
sunshade, and it not infrequently hap
pens that trail of mousseline flow
ers is posed inside the parasol, per-
chance to coincide with the trimming
of the hat or with the flowers that
decorate the gown.
OF freak handles there are always
certain number, and one of the quaint
est is the cuckoo clock. Press a
spring and the doors of the cuckoo
clock fly open and the cuckoo appears
on the threshold. He is a silent bird.

the little performance already de-

Girls Men Hate,

Men may laugh and joke with tae
girl who tries to be manly" but they
never want to marry her.
Men heartily dislike girls who nag
and scold; they want to run a mile
from them. Men may be sorry for
painfully shy girls, but these do not
appeal to them. They make them feel
awkward and bashful themselves. Men
avoid girls who are always saying
spiteful things about other girls.
Men hate untidy, slovenly girls, with
badly brushed hair and a crooked
waist line.
Men fight shy of dull, disconnected
girls; the bright, sunny ones get all
their attention.

Sewinu On Braid.

Braid should be sewed on by taking
a long stitch on the back and a very
tiny stitch on the right side directly
through the braid and down again.
Be careful to hold the material
smoothly over the finger. Keep the
braid straight and firm and turn all
corners sharply. You will find when
using soutache that you can work
more rapidly and keep the braid
straight more easily If you use an
embroidery frame.

placing Holes for Buttons.

When buttoning or unbuttoning a
garment. forcing the buttons across
the width of the hole will soon tear
out the latter. For this reason but
tons with only two holes are better
than those with four and should be
placed so that their holes will be on
a line with the length of the button
hole. Some women place buttons with
four holes so that only two holes need
be sewed through. thus making them
last longer than If all four were used.

"Eh-you don't say?" cried Ware.
tom, what do you know about the
Quintard lands; what do you know
about Quintard himself?' continued
Murrell.
HE was a rich planter; lived in
North Carolina. My father met him
when he was in congress and got him
to invest in land here. They had
some colonization scheme on foot
this was upward of twenty years ago
but nothing came of it. Quintard
lost interest"
"And the land?"
"Oh, he held on to that"
"Quintard has been dead two years,
Tom, and back yonder in North Caro-
lima they told me he left nothing but
the home plantation. The boy lived
there up to the time Of Quintard' g
death, but what relation he was to
the old man no one knew. Ofhand,
Tom, I'd say that by getting hold OF
the boy Fentress expects to get hold
of the Quintard land"
That's likely" said Ware; then
struck by a sudden idea, he added,
Are you going to take all the risks
and let him pocket the cash? II it's
the land he's after, the stakes big
enough to divide"
He can have the whole thing and
welcome. I'm playing for a bigger
stake" His friend stared at him In
astonishment. I'm licking specula-
ton into shape that will cause me to
be- remembered while there's a white
man alive in the Mississippi Valley!
Have you heard what the niggers did
at Hayti?"
"You let the niggers alone; don't
you tamper with them" said Ware
He possessed a profound belief in
Murrell's capacity.
Look here, what do you think
have been working for-to steal
few niggers? That furnishes US with
money, but you can push the trade
too hard and too far. The planters
are uneasy. The Clans got to deal
