The echo of it still, rang in his ears.
And while he could not have described
1t, he knew instinctively that It had
been born Of bitter thought.
They chatted for a quarter OF an
hour or more, and managed famously.
It seemed to him that Fortune Ched-
soye was the first young woman he
had ever met who could pull away
sudden barriers and open up pathways
for speech, who, when he was about
to founder into some cul-de-sac, guided
him adroitly into an alley round it.
Not once was 1t necessary to drag
in the weather, that perennial II
threadbare topic. He was truly aston
ished at the ease with which he sus-

perhaps half the fault had been his.
This was not a sign Of weakness. but

with some benign purpose in 'perspec-
tive. Now, it might be that this charm

known to go astray. In any case be
could not say that he had written.
That would have cast a doubt upon
her word, an objectionable rudeness.
So, for her very beauty alone, he gave
her the full, benefit Of the doubt.
"You mustn't let the matter trouble
you in the least" he said. his helmet
now nicely adjusted under his arm.

Doa Policeman Travels Beat.

An Irish terrier named Jerry, which
has developed a wonderful capacity
for police work. is now stationed at
Surbiton, England. The terrier. own

district, and always accompanies his
master when making patrol by cycle.
Jerry's speciality" is in the captur-

Evolution Idea,

Wolff put forth his theory Of "epi-
genesis" in 1859. Lamarck, in 1905,
propourded the theory that all anil
mails had been developed from mo
mad" In 1927 Baer Of Konigsberg
undertook to prove that all mammals
are developed from a minute egg not
q hundredth of an inch in diameter"

Bottles.

Great skill is required in manufac-
turing champagne bottles. which must
be almost automatically even in the
thickness of the glass. The glass must
be perfectly smooth and the necks ex-
act in every particular to insure per-
feet corkinS.

These were what may be called the
beginnings of the theory Of evolution.
In 1859 Mr.. Darwin came along with
his Origin of Species" which he sup
plemented Tin 1871 with his Descent
of Man." In 1873 Haeckel published his
History of Creation" since which
time the theory has worked its way
throughout the reading world. 1t is
generally conceded that evolution Is
necessarily atheistic.

MONEY IS
FILED
PROPERTY CONSISTS LARGELT
OF GULF COAST REAL ESTATE
DOES NOT EXCEED $4,000.

Jackson, Oct 4.-The last will and
testament of the late fernando De
Soto Money has been filed for pro.
bate in the chancery court of Har-
rison county.
Senator Moneys estate consisted
chiefly of property on the Mississippi
coast, in which he had invested his
modest savings during the past ten
years. It's value is not stated or esti.
mated in the will, but 1t is not likely
to exceed $150,000.
The property is divided in a very
equitable manner between Senator
Moneys children and grandchildren
His two sons, George S. Money and
Hermando D. Money, are made the
executors without bond.
To his daughter, Mrs. Mabel Claire
Money Kitchen, Senator Money be.
queathed a one-half interest in Rose
Farm" his Jackson county estate,
one of the most beautiful places on
the Mississippi coast. Mrs. Kitchens
husband is surgeon in the United
States navy. To the eldest daughter,
Lillian Money Read, is given a half
interest in "Fairhaven" the family
home near Mississippi City, and also
real estate in Biloxi. The will is
rather a lengthy document, and was
made on Novefber 9Th, 1910, at which
time Money was II years Of age.
