AS he recovered himself he was
sure he heard door open and close
and threw himself prone on the
ground, where the black shadow cast
by the tavern hid him. At the same
moment two dark figures came from
about corner OF the building He
could just distinguish that they car
ried some heavy burden between them
and that they staggered as they
moved
They passed out OF sight. and
breathless and palsied, Hannibal crept
about corner OF the tavern. lie
must be sure!
Presently he heard distant sound
"a splash-surely 1t was a splash
A little later the men came up the
lane, to disappear in the direction or
the tavern. Hannibal peered after
them His very terrors, while they
wrenched and tortured him, gave him
desperate kind OF courage. AS the
gloom hid the two men, he started
forward again. He reached the end
of the cornfield, climbed q fence, and
entered a deadening OF timber. In
the long wet grass he found where
the men had dragged their burden
He reached down and swept his hand
10 and o-once-twice-the third
time his little palm came away red
and discolored
There was the first pale Fremont
tion OF dawn In the sky, and as he
hurried on the light grew, and tho
black trunks OF trees detached them
selves from the white mist that filled
the woods and which the dawn made
visible. There was light enough for
him to see that he was following the
trail left by the men. He emerged
like the woods with It's ghcstly night
sweat.
The dull beat of the child's heart
quickened as he gazed out on the
swift current that was hurrying on
with it's dreadful secret. Then the
full comprehension of his loss seemed
to overwhelm him and he was utterly
desolate. Sobs shook him, and he
dropped on his knees, holding fast to
the stock of his rife.
Uncle Bob-Uncle Bob, come
back. Can't you come back!" he
walled miserably. Presently he stag
gered to his feet. AS he glanced
about, he saw almost at his feet a
dug-out, made from a single poplar
log. 1t was secured TO an overhang-
ing branch by length OF a wild
grapevine. With one last fearful look
off across the deadening In the direc-
tion OF the tavern, he crept down to
the waters edge and entered the
canoe. In a moment, he had 1t free
from its lashing and the rude craft
was humping along the bank in spite
Of his best efforts with the paddle.
Then favoring current caught it and
swept 1t out toward the center OF the
stream.

ington and Georgetown, she had
found the long board platform beside
the canal crowded with her fellow
| passengers Suddenly she became
aware OF tall. familiar figure NOV
ing through the crowd. II was Bruce
Darlington. At the same moment he
saw her, and with a casual air that
quite deceived her, approached.
You're leaving tonight?" he asked
"Yes-isn't Il miserable the way II
rains? And why are they so slow
why don't they hurry with that boatY
IT'S in the last lock now," ex
planned Darlington, and gathering up
Betty's hand luggage, he helped heI
aboard.
BY the time they had reached
Wheeling, Betty had quite parted with
whatever superficial prejudice she
might have had concerning river-men
This particular one was evidently a
very nice river-man, an exception TO
his kind. He made choice OF the
steamer on which she should continue
her journey, and thoughtfully chose
The Naiad-a slow boat.
II haven't a thing to offer her-this
Is plain madness OF mine!" he kept
telling himself, and then the express
sion OF his face would become grim
and determined No more OF the river
for him-hed get hold Of some land
and go to raising cotton; that was the
way money was made.
Slow as The Naiad was, the days
passed much too swiftly for him.
When Memphis was reached their
friendly intercourse would come to an
end. There would be her brother, or
whom she had occasionally spoken
he would be pretty certain to have
the ideas of his class.
The days, like any other days, dwin-
died. The end OF IL all was close at
hand. Another twenty-four hours
and Darlington reflected there would
only be good-by to say.
I'VE will reach New Madrid to-
night" he told her. They were
watching the river, under a flood OF
yellow moonlight.
Darlington, with his back against a
stanchion, watched her discontented-
ly.
You'll be mighty glad to have this
over with. Miss Malroy-" he said at
length, with a comprehensive sweep
toward the river.
"Yes-shan't your" and she opened
her eyes questioningly.
NO" said Darlington with short
laugh, drawing a chair near hers and
sitting down.
Betty in surprise, gave him a quick
look, and then as quickly glanced
away from what she encountered in
his eyes. AS she looked, suddenly
pale points of light appeared on a dis
tant headland.

Carrington?" she cried eagerly.

his position.

Yes, / amin looking at you. /

FOR FALSE IMPRISONMENT.

An interesting legislative measure is proposed
in New Jersey 1t provides for damages for false
imprisonment. If it becomes law, all persons
in the state, who are convicted of felones and
are committed to the state prison, and are after
ward proved to have been innocent and thus
falsely convicted shall be entitled to indemnites
from the counties in which they were convicted
well to judicial DEGREES releasing them
from custody on account of the established
innocence bill to that end, it is said, has
been drafted and will be introduced into the
legislature.
The proposed bill ii is further stated eman-
ates from the chief warden of the state penal
institution, and not from some impractical senti-
mentalist. He has served the state for forty
years. and during that time, it is claimed, he
has seen so many innocent persons confined in
prison that he is convinced of the desrabiity
of making in such at least some pecuni-
airy indemnity for the great wrong though done
unintentonally. His plan is that to each person
bonus of $4,000 shall be given, together with
81 for each day of Imprisonment which he has
suffered. these sums to be paid by the county
or by it and the state Jointly
And why notl If man is lbeled in public
prints he has redress in the courts Why not.
If he is innocently deprived of his liberty as well
as his good namel
II is an anomaly in our jurisprudence that a
man falsely convicted and imprisoned cannot
obtain his liberty except when "pardoned" BY

EXCEEDS THE UNITED STATES.

New York City has passed the billion mark
in pling up its funded debt to $l,057 ,S11 900,
which exceeds that of the United States by about
twenty million dollars In the last five years it
has grown from about six hundred million dol
lars to its present eminence, and it is now the
greatest municipal debt in the world
Comparing this burden with that of other
cities, it appears that New York today has
about 49S5,000 inhabitants, Their per capita debt
burden is 1918 This completely outclasses the
borrowing pretensions of other American cities.
Boston is poor second with about $l75, as the
Boston News Bureau points out Cincinnati can
show $l45, Cambridge $40, Columbus $99 Provi-
dence $92, Baltimore $S7 and New Orleans 500.
The average gross debt for all American cities
of over 100000 population is only about $l05
of the cities between 100000 and 100000, about
500; OF those between 30 and 100000, about $50;
and for the fourth-rate places, little over $40
More than one-fourth of the total budget of
the city is required to meet interest and sinking
fund charges A hundred years of such pay
ments would eat up the total assessed value of
all the property in the city.

SOCIALISM GAINS IN GERMAN ELECTIONS

Socialism made striking gains in the recent
German elections and is now the leading party
in point of numbers of the five or six groups
into which the membership of the reichstag is
divided The socialists will not control the house
but they will force fresh alignment of forces
amongst those opposed to them
The high cost of living and the fear of added
taxes for a larger navy gave them several seats
that they are unlikely to hold if the govern
ment practices economy A desire to lessen the
burden of war taxes does not necessarily imply
conversion to the principles of Karl Marx any
more than would the defeat next November of
the members of the house of representatives who
voted for the Sherwood dollar-a-day pension bill

THE TEXTBOOK INVESTIGATION.

1t is gratifying to note that the senate text
book committee intends to carry its investigation
to conclusion Senator Thompson statement
that its report will be thorough and contain rec
concentrations based on the evidence taken seems
to mean that the situation will be somewhat
clarified
In the fall the people of the state will vote
the Shanahan free textbook amendment and,
we have no doubt, ratify it. BY meantime it is
important that they be informed just what the
publication of textbooks in the state printing
Office has cost, what are the arrangements rela-
tive to royalties that have made possible the
organization of ring to mulct the public treasury
and all the details of the mismanagement by which
Shannon made the parents of school children pay
tribute to few favored supply houses
We trust the committee will reassemble with
the least possible delay and conclude its work.
Even though confident that the free textbook
amendment will be approved by a large majority,

ward economy in the production of the books

EMPEROR WILLIAM VS.. KING GEORGE

Emperor William of Germany has always
taken more active part in politics than is
thought to become his cousin the king of Eng
land The emperor is almost active a partisan
as president of the United States at election
times, but he does not possess the power to nfu
ence votes that chief executive yield
Still he must be disguised with the success of
the socialists. for he entered the arena to fight
them and staked much of his prestige the
outcome. Even the constituency of Potsdam
which contains his favorite palace, elected one
of them. and the socialist candidate in the palace
ward in Berlin beaten by only seven votes.

they cannot compete in foreign markets because
the federal government will not rebate the excise

odd thing about the situation is that these mann.

WILSON'S CANDIDATE
 DEFEATED FUR SPEAKER
THE sMITH-NUGENT WING OF PARTY VICTORIOUS IN THE
 NEW JERSEY FIGHT.

Trenton, Dec. 17.-Goy. Wilson let 1t be known today that although he had been elected to the presidency of the United States he would con tinue to fight at every turn the Smith Nugent forces in New Jersey ssnd any other elements in the national demo- cracy which he considers reactional or non progressive. He proclaimed it as his duty to stand back of the progressive forces in the democratic party everywhere and at every june ture' and added that the democratic patty now had arrived at a point
 where it must choose whether i. will be progressive or not"
 Just to what extent Mr. Wilson's ac- tiyity, either in New Jersey or else where, might extend, was not dis closed, but at the governors office it was made plain that even as presi- dent Mir. Wilson would come back from Washington and go on the stu1ip before the people of the state against elements which ne considered Teac- tiona-y whenever the people of the state encouraged him to think they Wisbe6 ais aid and counsel
 His announcement cf intentions was coincident with his return to his office after a months vacation in Bermuda, when he learned that in tt e recent party caucus for the speakership of the New Jersey legis- lature Leon Taylor was elected by a majority of four votes and was supported by the 12 assemblymen from Essex county, who are alleged Ii be controlled by the Smith-Nugent wing of the party. Mr Wilson's choice for speaker, Cnas. Hennessy, was de- feated but the governor declared to- day he had found Mir. Taylor always ready to do the right thing" and per sonally had no objection to him. What he is concerned about is the forces which supported Mir. Taylor's election as opposed to MT. Hennessy. In the contests taat are forthcoming over important state offices and ma ters of legislation, the governor be- lieyes that he must concentrate every effort to reduce the strength of the opposition wing.

Frank Woolsgy The above eleven convicted felons who had been convicted in Garland county were included in the roster of 360 pardons issued Monday by Governor Donaghey in what he termed a "rebuken to the convict lease syS-' tenn in this state. | The convictions of the above have cost this county large sum of'mon- ey, and in some instances there have lbeen many previous convictions. The case of liberating George Clark, the police believe the governor has released the most dangerous man this community has ever known. Clark has been a gun man, burglar, house
 breaker, and general thief, and Is re- | garded by the police as a man who would shoot and kill any time in order
 to protect himself
 He had been held under suspicion for murder in the case of the shoot ling of woman in local boarding house where a burglar was engaged at robbery and when she made an out cry, she was silenced with a bullet. | Most of tae other convicts were ordinary thieves, and while they were lregarded as dangerous to society, yet
 they were not regarded as vicious to the extent of committing an in jury to person to protect them selves.
 Captain George Howell said yester-
 day, after reviewing the list: Clark is undoubtedly the worst one of the lot that has been turned iooee lie
