Aiding the Runaways
By GEORGE S. CRAFT

4 was Il pleasant spring afternoon.
Lena was to drive with me in my
side bar wagon, and as l didn't
care to leave my blooded mare
tied to a hitching post while walting
for her l sat holding the reins. My
proposition for Lena's hand had not
found favor with her father, and was
meditating another proposition to Lena
exclusively, which was nothing more
or less than an elopement.
Suddenly around the corner came a
couple that seemed to be in terrific
haste. The man was a gentlemanlike
young fellow, and the girl was as pref
ty as a peach. She hung on to his
arm to enable her to keep pace with
him, while he hung on to a suit case.
He cast coyetous glance at my rig,
hesitated, started on, stopped and said:
"See here my friend! Would YOU
mind helping pair of runaways to the
station?''
'Elopement?"
That's it,

feeling, sense or reason?"

Money Value Of Bees.

Ii the farmer beekeeper got nothing
but honey from the bees it would still
pay largely to keep them on the place,

1 regret extremely that it should be
necessary for me, or anyone else. TO

In the defense Of measure that aims
to put the children of South Carolina

the fact that the governor has deem

THE WALL STREET GAME.
Advice to Those Who Would Buy and
Sell on Margin.


a broker once told me that there
was one rule which he would give II
he dared to his customers to guide
them in selecting stocks for trading
purposes. Take a piece Of chewing
gum; reduce it to an adhesive condi-
tion, mold It into a form convenient
for throwing: throw 1t at the board.
Buy or sell the stock indicated by the
spot on the board to which 1t adheres.
Go to Europe for three months BY
following this advice. he said, the GUS
toner would have a chance-not much
of a chance, it is true, but some chance.
If however he reads the financial page
of the newspaper and listens to the
gossip in the brokers' office, he has
not even the gamblers chance, since
he will be doing exactly what the
powers back of the market want him
to do in order that they may as quick
" as possible get his principal before
1t is exhausted by the constant nibbling
of the broker.

genue bride a check for $1,000. Do

o'clock on the 18th. and the time was
getting short, with nothing accomplish
ed, when Harrison Gray Otis Of Mas
sachusetts, afterward a leader In the
Hartford convention, arose, hat In

ton. He spoke languidly for a minute
or two. and then, warming up, drop
ped his hat on the floor and poured
forth an eloquent appeal that fairly
took the convention Off its feet. a per-
formance to be repeated by orators In

result was that Clinton was unani-

luctance, and the Pennsylvanians and

Of Miss Irene Montgomery. who Is es-

Washington was a boy and when slav-

will be dressed in full colonial costume
and it promises to be quite creditable.

TO WOO SLEEP.
Better a Rug on the Floor Than Too
Yielding Mattress.


"I sleep fairly WELL" man said re-
Gently. but seldom soundly, and ire
ouently wake In the morning with
aches in my legs. joints and vertebrae'
7 never feel suppl until have had my
cold bath and brisk rub with rough
towel"
Sleep should be invigorating, not en-
eryating, and the following theory was
advanced by a man who in his earlier
days had slept for many months un-
der the stars on veldt and jungle:
.It is the mattress and the pillow
that are responsible for half the trou-
BILE of the insomniac. The ideal resting
place is the ground, with its natural
covering of soft grass. The next most
comfortable bed Is wood floor over
laid with a soft carpet or rug. The
yielding mattress does not rest The
muscles, which remain all night In a
condition Of alternating relaxation and
tension. When the sleeping place Is
fixed and hard they adapt themselves
to It and remain quiescent
Furthermore, the spine and nerve
centers of the bed sleeper are exposed
all night to the heat Of the mattress.
which is the cause Of the sense Of eh-
ervation so commonly felt when one
awakens.
1.-The pillow is even more enervaung
than the mattress. A well-stuffed sad
die whose cleft center permits the
circulation of air, soft. yet unyieldins,
Is the ideal head rest. Next to 1t, per-
haps, should be placed the japanese
neck block.
when the discomfort of the exper-
iment has been overcome by a few
nights of perseverance a wonderful
improvement will be discerned In the
quality of sleep."-Harper's Weefiy.

CHAPTER xxx.
Colonel Fentress.

i
ghost, the ghost he had seen In Mr..
Saurs office that day he went to the
court house on business for Charley
Norton. Working or idling-princi-
pally the letter-drunk or sober-prin-
cipally the former-the ghost, other
wise Colonel Fentress, had preserved
a place in his thoughts, and now as
he moved stolidly up the drive toward
Fentress' big white house on the hill
with Mahaffy, Cavendish and Yancy
trailing in his wake, memories of what
had once been living and vital crowded
in upon him. Some sense Of the wreck
that Uttered the long years, and the
shame Of the open shame that had
swept away pride and self-respect,
came back to him out Of the past.
He only paused when he stood on the
portico before Fentress' open door.
He glanced about him at the wide
fields, bounded by the distant timber
lands that hid gloomy bottoms, at the
great log barns in the hollow to his
right; at the huddle Of whitewashed
cabins beyond; then with his big fist
he reached in and pounded on the door.
The blows echoed loudly through the
silent house, and an instant later Fen
tress' tall, spare figure was seen ad-
yancing from the far end Of the hall.
Who Is it," he asked.
Judge Price-Colonel Fentress," said
the judge.
Judge Price," uncertainty. and still
advancing.
"I had fiattered myself that you must
have heard of me-" said the Judge.

ing now.
He thinks he has!" muttered the
Judge under his breath.
will you come in?" 1t was more
question than an invitation.
IF you are at liberty" The colonel
bowed. ALLOW me-" the judge contin-
ued. Colonel Fentress-Mr. Mahaffy,
Mr.. Yancy and Mr.. Cavendish." Again
the colonel bowed.
will you step into the library"
Very good" and the judge followed
the colonel briskly down the hall.
When they entered the library Fen
tress turned and took stock OF his
guests. Mahaffy he had seen before;
Yancy and Cavendish were Of course
strangers to him, but their appearance
explained them last of all his glance
shifted to the judge. He had heard
something Of those activities by means
of which Slocum Price had striven to
distinguish himself, and he had GER
tain curiosity respecting the man. 1t
was Immediately satisfied. The judge
had reached a degree OF shabblness
seldom equalled. and but for his mel
low, effulgent personality might well
have passed for common vagabond:
and If his dress advertised the state
of his finances, his face explained his
habits. No misconception was possible
about either.
May / offer you a glass Of liquor?"
asked Fentress, breaking the silence.
He stepped to the walnut center table
where there was a decanter and glass
es. BY a gesture the judge declined
the invitation. Whereat the colonel
looked surprised. but not so surprised
as Mahaffy. There was another ST.
lence
II don't think we ever met before?
observed Fentress. There was some
thing in the fixed stare his visitor was
bending upon him that he found dis
