an excited chorus. "Sho'-tiid you for. get that?" They themselves had for gotten the unique enterprise to which Mir. Yancy was committed. but the allusion to Slosson had revived their memory of it.
 Well, he begged so piteous to be allowed fo' to keep his hide, hadn the heart to strip 1t oti." explained MT. Yancy pleasantly. And the winters comin' on-at this moment I can feel a chill in the air-dont you-all reckon he's going to need 1t fo' to keep the cold out? Sho', you mustn't be bloody mindedi"
 What was 1t about MT. Blossoms hide, Uncle Bob?" demanded Hanni- bal. What was you a-goin' to do to that?"
 Why, Nevyy. after he beat me up and throwed me in the river, I was some peeyish fo' spell in my feel ings fo' him." said Yaney in a tone of gentle regret. He glanced at his bruised hand. But I'm right pleased to be able to say that I've got over all them oncharitable thoughts Of mine"
 And you seen the judge, Uncle Bob?" questioned Hannibal
 Yes, I've seen the judge. We was together fo' part of a day. Me and him gets on fne?"
 Where is he now, Uncle Bob?"
 T reckon he's back at Belle Plain by this time. You see We left him in Raleigh along after noon to tend to some business he had on hand. l never seen a gentleman of his weight so truly spry on his legs-and all about you, Neyvy; while as to mind! Sho-why, words flowed out of him as naturally as water out of branch. .'
 Of HannibaPs relationship to the judge he said nothing. He felt that was secret to be revealed by the judge himself when he should see fit
 Uncle Bob, whom I going to live with now?" questioned Hannibal anx- iously.
 That p'int's already come up, Nevvy-him and mes decided that there won't be no friction. You-aii will just so on living with him."
 But wha about you. Uncle Boby' cried Hannibal, lifting wistful little face to Yancy's.
 "Oh, me?-well, you-all will 70 right on living with me"
 And what will come of Mir. Ma hafy?'
 T reckon you-all will go right on living with him, too"
 Uncle Bob, you mean you reckon we all are going to live in one house?"
 'I low 1t will have to be fixed that a-ways." agreed Yancy.

What -ss t that Mshady had said ne was to do at sun-up! The very hour accented his suspicious. Prob ably 1t was no more than some cheer less obligation to be met. or Mahafry would not have been so concerned about 1t. Eventually he decided 10 refer everything to Mahafy. He spoke his friends name weakly and in a shaking voice, but received no answer.
 "Solomonl" he repeated. and shift ing his position. looked in what should have been the direction of the shake down bed his friend occupied Neith- CT the bed nor Mahaffy were there. The judge gasped-he wondered if this were not a premonition Of certain Authorizations to which he was not a stranger. Then all in a flash he re- membered Fentress and the meeting at Boggs. something of how the eve ming had been spent. and spasm of regret shook him.
 "I had other things to think of This must Bsver happen again." he told himself remorsefully.
 He was wide-awake now Doubt less Pegloe had put him to bed. Well, that had been thoughtful Of Pegloe- he would not forget him-the City Tavern should continue to enjoy his patronage It would be something for Pegloe to boast of that Judge Slocum Price Turberville always made his place headquarters when in Raleigh. Feeling that he had already conferred wealth and distinction on the fortu- nate Pegloe the judge thrust his fat legs over the side of his bed and stood erect Stopping he reached for his clothes. He confidently expected to md them on the floor, but his hand merely swept an uncarpeted waste. The judge was profoundly astontshed.
 Maybe I've got 'em on. I don't re- call taking them off!" be thought hopefully. He moved uncertainty in the direction of the window, where the light showed him his own bare ex- trsmities. He reverted to his orig inal idea that his clothes were scat tered about the floor.
 He was beginning to experience . great sense of haste; 1t was two miles to Boggs' and Fentress would be there at sun-up. Finally he abandoned his quest of the missing garments and

CHAPTER xxx.
Tn. Judoe Receives Letter.

After he had parted with Solomon Mahaffy the judge applied himself diligently to shaping that miracle working document which he was pre- pairing as an offset to whatever risk he ran In meeting Fentress. AS san guine as he was sanguinary he confi- dently expected to survive the en- counter. yet it was well to provide for a possible emergency-hadh he not his grandson's future to consider? While thus occupied he saw the afternoon stage arrive and depart from before the City Tavern.
 Half an hour later MT Wesley, the postmaster, came sauntering up the street. In his hand he carried let ter.
 "Howdy," he drawled, from just be- yond the judges open door.
 The judge glanced up, his quill pen poised aloft.
 Good evening, sir; won't you step inside and be seated?" he asked gra- ciously. His dealings with the United States mail service were of the most insignificant description, and In per sonally delivering letter, if this was what had brought him there, he felt MT. Wesley had reached the limit of official courtesy and despatch.
 Well, sir; 1t looks like you'd never told us more than two-thirds Of the truth" said the postmaster. He sur veyed the judge curiously.
 T am complimented by your opin- ion of my veracity," responded that gentleman promptly. "I consider two thirds an enormously high per cent. to have achieved"
 There Is something in that, too" agreed Mir Wesley. Who is Colonel Slocum Price Turberville?"
 The judge started up from bis chair.
 q have that honor," said he, bow ing.
 Well, here's a letter come in ad- dressed like that, and as you've been using part of the name l am willing to assume you're legally entitled to the rest of 1t. It clears up point that of and on has troubled me con siderable. l can only wonder l want smarter"
 What point, may I askY'
 Why. about the time you hung out your shingle here, some one wrote letter to General Jackson. It was mailed after night, and when seen it in the morning l was clean beat. couldn't locate the handwriting, and yet kept that letter back couple Of days and give it all my spare time. It ain't that I'm one of your spying sort-there's nothing of the Yankee about mel
 Certainly not,9 agreed the judge.
 "Candid, judge. l reckon you wrote that letter, seeing this one comes un- der a frank from Washington. No, sir -I couldn't make out who was cor responding with the president, and IL worried me, not knowing, more than anything I've had to contend against since I came into office. l calculate there ain't a postmaster in the United States takes a more personal interest in the service than me.

Bride Left a Prisoner.

Edward Redding and his bride
came here from Philadelphia two
weeks ago on their honeymoon and
registered at the hotel Clearview. He
failed to pay his board bill at the end
of the week, but told Mrs. Rose Me-
gaw that he would pay the following
week when he received a remittance.
When the remittance did not come
Mrs. Megaw locked Mr.. and Mrs. Red
ding in their room. In the night
Redding tied sheets and quilts to-
gether, hung them out the window,
dropped mattresses and pillows on
the ground thirty feet below his win
dow, slid down and made his escape.
The young wife had to stay and
work out the amount of the bill. Mrs.
Megaw has also caused a warrant to
be issued for the arrest of Redding.

A Kansas Blue Law.

We are accustomed to look with
amused tolerance on the blue laws
of American colonial days and COM
placently congratulate ourselves on
living in a more advanced and en-
lightened time. But human nature
is the same now that it was then.
Too many of us would regulate the
private lives and affairs of others, II
we could. A case in point is afford
ed by the town of lola in Kansas.
There the "lid' has recently been
placed On the use OF tobacco. Every
body detected in the act Of smoking
or chewing the weed is promptly ar
rested and fined. The sufferilgs of
those whose systems have become
habituated to the narcotic may be
imagined. And their appeals to the
doctors for prescriptions restoring to
them their smokes and "chaWs' are
in vain. There was some merit IN
certain legislative enactments in Kan
SIS recurring that the length of shirts
and bed sheets should be increased.
A short shirt tail and a short bed
sheet are mighty uncomfortable. But
the prohibition of tobacco is another
matter. Of course, too much indul-
gence in the cigar or pipe is harmful.
But so is too much indulgence in Gu
cumbers and ice cream. If lola keeps
on in the path it has taken, it will
soon be prohibiting striped bands on
straw hats and trousers that turn up
at the bottom. From that point it
is not far to the enthusiasm for the
right which, in the dark ages of
America, caused Massachusetts to
Danish Roger Williams because he
was Baptist and hanged old women
on the assumption that they were
witches. But lola won't go that far.
The tobacco edict will not stick. AS
soon as the former tobacco users of
lola get second wind they will go
back to the weed, even if, as hap
pened in Zion City, they have to de-
fend that right with their fists

Forty Lives Lost.

Westbound Lackawanna passenger
train No. from New York due to
arrive at Corning at All a. m, COM
posed of two engines, baggage car,
three Pullmans and two day coaches,
in the order named, was demolished
at Gibson, three miles east of Corn
ing, at 5:25 o'clock Thursday morn
ing by express train No. IL, due at
Corning at $40 a. m. Forty-one
persons were killed and. between so
and 60 were injured. Many of the
victims were holiday excursionists
bound to Niagara Falls, who had
boarded the train at points along the
line.
The wreck was the worst in tie
history of the road. Its canse, ac-
cording to Engineer Schroeder of the
express, was the failure to see sig
mails set against his train. The morn
ing was foggy and he said he could
not make them out.

BOY STARTED FIRE.
Year.oId Wanted to See the En-
gines Come.

Boston, July 6.-Because small
boy wanted "to see the engines
come the police allege, damage es-
timated at $4,000 was done in the
Charlestown district to-day. The
Boston and Main railroad wharf No.
25, filled with hay, was destroyed
and the wagon and carriage stock
factory of E. A. Gillett & Sons was
badly damaged.
James Welch, 10 years old, was ar
rested and the police say that upon
being questioned, he confessed that
he started the fire by throwing a
lighted fire cracker into the hay IN
the warehouse. He was placed in
charge of probation officer and will
be taken in the juvenile court later.

His Motto.

The young hopeful had secreted
some bright buttons in his pocket
which came from the automobile
show. When Sunday-school was well
under way he took one out and pin
ned it on his coat, feeling it an orna-
ment. Unfortunately when the min
lister came around to speak to the
children his nearsighted eyes were
caught by the color.
"Well, Richard, I see you are
wearing some motto, my lad. What
does it say?"
"You read it, SIR" replied Rich,
ard, hanging his head.
but I cannot see. l haven't my
glasses, son. Read it so we can all
hear you

Amt it hell to be poor!

CLAIMS HE'S 1O6 YEARS OLD.
Remarkable Case of Longevity Dis
covered in Calhoun County.

st. Matthews, July 6.-Alex Hib-
ler, colored, from the western section
of the county, and never seen here
before, came to town to-day to con-
suit a physician-a not unusual thing
to do. But there were several very
interesting features about his case.
In the first place, he says. he is los
years old-born in 1S06-and gives
the best of evidence to substautiate
his contention. His hair is white, his
mind is clear and he walks and talks
with facility. Struggled off from a
Virginia Hibler estate to South Caro-
lima because of a doubtful validity
to his title as a slave, he was bought
by the grandfather of the present
Calhoun county clerk of court, Mr..
J. Archie Wolfe.
When the father of the clerk, ia
cob Wolfe, went off to the War Be-
tween the States, Hibler was made
foreman and put in almost exclusive
control of the plantation and the
trust was never betrayed in the
slightest. Hibler says that he voted
for Hampton in 1876 and that the
white folks have always treated him
we'll. He has sixty-odd grandchildren
and forty great-grandchildren. One
of his sons, according to his count
and his Bible, is in his S5th year.
His wife died seventeen years ago in
extreme old age"
When asked whether he was still
anxious to live, he promptly replied
that he knew no world but this, knew
it kindly, and that he proposed to
stay here--barring accidents-.for
number of years to come. There is
every prospect of his wish being graf
flied. In spite of a minor allment
there was a merry twinkle in his eye
and goodly store of innate humor and
mother-wit so characteristic of his
race.

people there vote for Jones. Charles
ton voted for him two years ago and
is now getting what's coming to
them. But we believe they have
profted by their experience, and that
county will give Jones an overwhelm-
ing majority this year.

Dor if he does not agree with you.
We all have to live here together, no

differ, but that is to be expected.
Some favor Jones and some favor

that every man has right to his
opinion, and so long as he gives the
other fellow right to his, it is all
right.

Some Advice to the Farmer.

/ would like to make few sug-
gestions to the farmer as to how he
can help in big and little ways to
make his wife, as she ought to be, the
happiest and best contented woman
on earth.
If there is a telephone line in
reach of you, have a phone put IN
your house. If there is none, get to-
gether with your neighbors and build
one. 1t will pay you as well as give
pleasure to your family.
Get to work on good roads in your
community, if you haven't them al
ready. Then get a gentle horse your
wife can drive and see that it is at
her disposal at least once a week.
Get a buggy for her to ride in instead
of having to use the old heavy farm
wagon.
Subscribe for one or two good mag
azines for her.
Make her your business partner
and consult with her about every
thing. The chances are she has just
as much sense and business judg-
ment as you have and she may have
more.
And remember that anything you
can do to increase your wife's health
and happiness will increase your own
and that of the whole family.-Mrs.
Lillian Brooks Gatlin, in Progressive
Farmer.
