ard Keppel Cavendish. variously
known as LoDg-Legged Dick, and
Chllls-and-Fever Cavendish. of Lin
coin county, in the state OF Tennes-
see, some months previously and
after unprecedented mental effort on
his part, decided that Lincoln county
was no place for him.
Mr.. Cavendish's paternal grandpar-
ent had drifted down the Holston and
Tennessee; and Mr.. Cavendish's
father, in his sons youth, had poled
up the Elk. Mr.. Cavendish now de-
termined to float down the Elk to its
1uncture with the Tennessee, down
the Tennessee to the Ohio, and II
need be, down the Ohio to the Mis-
slssippi, until he found some spot ex-
actly suited to his taste.
With this end in view he had toiled
through the late winter and early
spring, building himself a raft on
which to transport his few belongings
and his numerous family.
Thus II happened that as Murrell
and Slosson were dragging Yancy
down the lane, Cavendish was just
rounding a bend in the Elk. a quar-
ter of a mile distant Leaning loose
ly against the long handle OF his
sweep. he was watching the lane OF

black shadows cast by the trees on

He heard q dull splash, and caught

A tall fellow shook a long finger

Mr.. Mahaffy seemed to hesitate.
Some one gave him shove and he
staggered forward a step. Before he
could recover himself the shove was
repeated.
"Lope on out OF here!" yelled the
tall fellow. Mahaffy was hurried to-
ward the road. Twenty men were in
chase behind him. Then the woods
closed about him. His long legs,
working tirelessly, carried him over
fallen logs and through tangled thick
cts, the voices behind him growing
more and more distant as he ran.

A breeze came lazily along
And to the toiler sang its song;
THE little brook still leaps and filings
It's foam upon the swallows wings;
The willows shade, still deep and cool
Spreads as of old across the pool
"And down the hill the meadow blooms
Still loose their wonderful perfumes,
And every nodding clover head
Is lush with honey, and as red
AS 1t was when you used to tease
The demonstrating humble bees.
THE winding road is gray with dust
The old well chain is brown with rust
The orchard knows the drowsy tune
OF insects in the afternoon;
They have not changed-field, bird and
tree
Are all back where you used to be.
1.-The old place still remains unchanged,
From none of its old ways estranged;
The lazy fence still loafs behind
The vines with which 1t is entwined,
And o, the little path still goes
Down through the thicket of wild rose.
"And all of them send word to you
The shade, the brook, the orchard, too
To you who felt that you must roam;
Turn from it all, and journey home"
It may have been such words as these
Were whispered by the vagrant breeze,
Or did the toiler. all day long,
Sing to himself this Turing song?

BIG CROP IN JOHNSON COUNTY
Prospects Around OIathe Reported
Best in Years-Frst Wheat
Brings 90 Cents.

Olathe, Kansas.-The first new
wheat marketed this season here was
purchased by the Hadley Milling
company of which Herbert S. Had
ley, governor of Missouri, is presi-
dent and principal stakeholder. The
price paid was 92 cents bushel. The
wheat was from a field of 80 acres
that averaged nearly 40 bushels to
the acre and one field which had been
heavily fortified last fall and plowed
to a depth of ten inches yielded As
bushels to the acre. The wheat was
turkey red and exceptionally fine
quality. There are few fields of hard
wheat in this county. The prospects
for crops in Johnson county are the
best in years.

COURT CLERK ALSO IN TROUBLE
Judge Hanford's Assistant Sentenced
to Two Years in Prison for
Embezzlement.

Seattle, Wash.-Robert M. Hop
kins, who was clerk of Judge Ham
fords division of the United States
district court from the time it was
established in 1889 until he was re-
moved in 1911 pleaded guilty to en-
bezzlement of $19,2S6 He was sem

ness and abuse of authority.

promptly detached himself from the
handle Of the sweep and ran to the
edge Of the raft.
II was a face, livid and blood
streaked. Dropping on his knees he
reached out a pair of long arms and
made a dexterous grab, and his nm
gers closed on the collar OF Yancy's
shirt. He drew Yancy close along
side, and pulled him clear OF the wa
ter. Mr.. Cavendish began a hurried
examination of the still figure.
There's a little life here-not much.
Polly!" he called.
This brought Mrs. Cavendish from
one OF the two cabins that occupied
the center OF the raft When she
caught sight of Yancy she uttered a
shrek.
Her cry had aroused the other deni-
zens of the raft. Six little Caven-
dishes, each draped In single gar
ment, tumbled forth from their shell
ter
II reckon we'd better lift him on to
one of the beds-get his wet clothes
off and wrap him up warm" said
Polly.
"Oh, put him in our bed!" cried all
the little Cavendishes.
And Yancy was borne into the
smaller of the two shanties, where
presently his bandaged head rested
on the long pillow. Then his wet
clothes were hung up to dry along
with the family wash.
The sheriff had brought the judges
supper. He reported that the crowd
was dispensing, and that on the whole
public sentiment was not particularly
hostile; indeed, he went SO far as to
say there existed a strong undercur-
rent of satisfaction that the Jail
should have so speedily justified it.
self.
Presently the sheriff went his way
into the dusk OF the evening, and
night came swiftly to fellowship the
judges fears. A single moonbeam
found its way into the place, making
thin rift in the darkness. The
Judge sat down on the three-legged
stool, which, with a shake-down bed,
furnished the jail.
Where was Solomon Mahafry, and
where Hannibal? He felt that Ma
haffy could fend for himself, but he
experienced a moment OF genuine
concern when he thought Of the child.
Then-there was a scarcely audi

a dry branch snapped loudly. Next a
stealthy step sounded in the clear
ing. The judge had an agonized
vision of regulators and lynchers.
The cautious steps continued to ap-
proach. A whisper stole into the
Jail
Are you awake, Price?" 1t was Ma
hairy who spoke.
God bless you, Solomon Mahafyl"
cried the Judge unsteadily.
i've got the boy-he's with me"
said Mahaffy.

Judge brokenly. Take care OF him.
