right and drove on apparently unseelng
A hundred wards ahead of her the man came
down into the road and stood there with his
gun across his arm. 1t was Jared Senter, her
Jared of other times, and her hands trenbed
as she frightened her grasp on the reins. She
was ashamed and afraid, forgetting what sat
beside her. and she wanted to drive by him;
but she could not, and she drew in the team
as he stepped aside to let a woman pass
He did not recognize her on the instant, and
evidently thought the man with her was
asleep a not uncommon occurrence on long
and tiresome drives through the mountains.
When she stopped before him and he saw
who she was, his face lighted with a genuine
smile of pleasure at seeing her again. 1t was
as though he were welcoming friend who
had come back after many years, and II there
were any bitterness in his heart it was not
betrayed either by his face or by the tones
of his voice
"Why!" he exclaimed, almost leaping to
the wagonside. "'Tain't you, is it, Mary?

on the seat with her.
The reaction had come, and she burst into
tears. ooh, Jed" she cried piteously, "help
me, help mel" and rising rom her place she
almost fell into his arms as he reached up to
take her outstretched hands.

angry look at the figure in the wagon.

Don't, Jed, DON'T" she sobbed as she
leaned upon him. "He's dead. They killed
him as we came through the rhododendrons.

1t was a strange funeral procession that
Mary's mother saw approach her house
along the narrow road half an hour later
the dead husband on the drivers seat, Jared
Senter on foot at the fore wheel driving, and
the widow following the wagon.

AMERICAN LEAP COLORS

TT has been observed that the leaves of
American trees, such as naples, scarlet
oaks, and so forth, which at home exhibit
splendid colors in the autumn, fall below
their reputation in this regard when trans
planted in England or on the continent of
Europe.
An English observer, who has been study
ing the causes of the autumn tints of trees,
thinks the superiority of our woodlands
arises from the soft and mild, yet glowing,
climatic conditions prevailing here in the
fall England, it is added is rarely blessed
with an Indian summer. When the climatic
conditions permit the leaves to retain con-
siderable vitality in the autumn, the colored
pigment is normally developed. Hence the
glorious forests of the United States.

to go to West Point and become an army Of

during the Spanish War, and was fascinated
with army life; but his father dissuaded
him. "You go to college said Murray,
senior, "and you will be appointing boys to
West Point"
"And it was true prophecy" said the
Congressman; "for here | am in Congress

RIGHT AND LEFT

THE old English words fright" and cleft !"
L have come into more and more general
use, and that too with the help of other than
English people. For some years the words
of command have been changed on the ships
of German transatlantic line. Instead of
ordering a change of course by the old terms,
"starboard" or port, as the case might re-
quire, the same orders are now given by the
shorter words "right' or cleft" The change
was made in the German navy at an earlier
day.
1t was not long ago that the English word
"larboard was used where we nowuse port. !"
There is no difficulty in seeing that two such
words as "starboard" and "larboard' were
unfit for their use, as they sounded too nearly
alike. They were also too long. There is
need of short, sharp words, which are easily
distinguished. Often there is no time to cor
rect an error, and mistake is fatal. Right
and left" are short and sharp enough If
they differed more in sound, they would serve
all the better.

OLD YEARS BUSINESS
Meeting For That Purpose
Next Tuesday

On next Tuesday the members of
the Americas and Sumter County Hos
pital Association will meet to close up
all the business of the association for
the year which has just ended.
1t is expected by the members of
the organization that all bills that are
held against the association will be
presented prior to that time in order
that they may have due consideration
and adjustment in closing up the old
years accounts. A special request is
made by the ladies of the association
that all bills be presented, if possible,
before the close of the present week.
This will be very important meet
ing of the organization, as it will not
only deal with the work of the old
year. but naturally with the prospects
that are offered by the new. With the
larger support that has been pledged
by the county for the new year, the
ladies entertain strong hopes of car
rying forward more rapidly the work
of raising the money for the new
building until the entire fund shah
have been raised.

REJOICE, SMOKERS, and
Be YE EXCEEDING GLAD
Cigarette License Has Been
Reduced

Festive smokers of the cigarette
need not fear that their favorite
brands will no longer be available at
the stores here, as city council has
relented in its attack on the cigarette
and reduced the license to $50, which
for a time threatened to be raised to
the prohibitive tax of $780,
When it was discovered that sew
eral Confederate veterans, who are not
compelled to pay city licenses, would
go into the cigarette business and
thereby rob the city Of its revenue,
the members of the board of aldermen
beat hot retreat from their former
position on the cigarette license and
.geeAced the license to $50.
This reduction in the license means
that the stores that formerly handled
cigarettes will continue to do so, so
that the city win receive its accustom-
ed revenue from this source, while
the hearts of the cigarette fiends will
be made exceedingly glad over the
failure of this blue law" to stick
among those that make up the city's
code.

Strunnle of the Rivers.

The discovery that there is a kind of
struggle for existence and survival of
the fittest among rivers is one of the
most interesting results of the modern
study of photography. a notable ex-
ample of this contest is exhibited by
England's two biggest rivers, the
Thames and the Severn. Between their
valleys lie the Cotswold hills. and ex-
ploration shows that the Severn by
eating backward among these hills
where softer strata underie them has
diverted to itself some of the headwa-
tiers which formerly flowed into the
Thames.
