Despite the success of taffetai
which had such a run during the
spring, it was inevitable that the soft
clinging materials should sway for
summer, and consequently modes are
becoming somewhat simpler. What
constitutes a pannier in the crisper
silks becomes merely folded drapery
in silk linen and chiffon.
The favorite fashion of the moment
is the tunic frock, for the tunic is such
a versatile garment that 1t may be
said to merge into the pannier in some
OF It's simpler forms. Mousseline de
sole and lace take alternative parts In
the latest Paris frocks to the tunics.

I I'VE got here just today, Miss Bet
ty." said Hannibal
Mr.. Ware, careless as to dress
scowled down on the child. He had
| favored Boggs' with his presence, not
because he felt the least interest In
horse-racing. but because he had no
faith in girls, and especially had ne
profound mistrust Of Betty. She was
so much easily portable wealth,
pdnk-faced chit ready to fall into the
arms of the first man who proposed
to her. But Charley Norton had not
seemed disturbed by the planters
forbidding air.
What ragamufin's this, Betty
growled Ware disgustedly.
But Betty did not seem to hear.
did you come alone, Hannibal!
she asked.
mo, ma'am; the Judge and Mr.. Ma
haffy, they fetched me-"
The Judge had drawn nearer as
Betty and Hannibal spoke together,
but Mahaffy hung back. There were
CULTS not to be crossed by him. 1t
was different with the Judge; the
native magnificence of his mind fitted
him for any occasion.
Allow me the honor to present my
self, ma'am-Price Is my name
Judge Slocum Price. May | be per-
mitted to assume that this Is the Miss
Betty of whom my young protege SO
often speaks?"
Tom Ware gave him a glance OF
undisguised establishment. while Nor
ton regarded him with an expression
of stunned and resolute gravity.
Betty looked at the Judge rather In
quiringly.
II am glad he has found friends
she said slowly. She wanted to be-
lieve that Judge Slocum Price was
somehow better than he looked, which
should have been easy, since 1t was
incredible that he could have been
worse.
He has indeed found friends" said
the Judge with mellow JUNCTION. and
swelling visibly.
Now Betty caught sight or CARING
ton and bowed. Occupied with Han
nibal and the judge, she had been un-
aware of his presence. Darlington
stepped forward.
Have you met Mr.. Norton, and my
brother, Mr.. Carrington?" she asked.
The two young men shook hands,
and Ware improved the opportunity
to inspect the newcomer But as
his glance wandered over him, 1t took
in more than Darlington, for 1t In
cluded the fine figure and swarthy
face of Captain Murrell, who, with
his eyes fixed on Betty, was thrusting
his eager way through the crowd.
Murrell had presented himself at
Belle Plain the day before. For up
ward of a year, Ware had enjoyed
great peace OF mind as a direct re-
suit Of his absence from west Ten
nessee, and when he thought OF him
at all he had invariably put a period
to his meditations with, Il hope to
hell he catches 1t wherever he Isl"
More than this, Betty had spoken

/ OF the captain in no uncertain tones
He was not to repeat that visit.
AS Murrell approached, the hot col
or surged into Betty's face. AS for
Hannibal, he had gone white to the
lips, and his small hand clutched hers
desperately
Murrell, with all his hardwood,
realized that a too great confidence
had placed him in an awkward posi-
ton, for Betty turned her back on
him and began an animated CONVEX
sation with Darlington and Charley
Norton.
Hicks, the Belle Plain overseer,
pushed his way to Murrell's side
Here, John Murrell, amt you go
ing to show us trick or two?" he
inquired.
Murrell turned quickly with a sense
of relief.
IF you can spare me your rifle" he
said but his face wore bleak look.
Don't you think you've seen about
enough, Bet?" demanded Tom. You
That's the very thing | do care
for; | think I'd rather see that than
the horse-racing," said Betty perverse-
ly.
Betty now seated herself in the car
riage, with Hannibal beside her,
quietly determined to miss nothing.
The judge, feeling that he had come
into his own, leaned elegantly against
the wheel, and explained the merits
of each shot as 1t was made.
II hope you gentlemen are not go
ing to let me walk off with the prizeY'
said Murrell, approaching the group
about the carriage. Mr. Norton, |
am told you are clever with the rifle"
Il am not shooting today" respond
ed Norton haughtily.
Murrell stalked back to the line.
AT forty PAGES I'd risk 1t myself,
ma'am," said the Judge. But at a
hundred, ofrhand like this. should
most certainly fall"
1T would be hard to beat that"
they heard Murrell say.
AT least 1t would be quite possible
to equal it, said Darlington, ad-
vancing with Hannibaps rifle in his
hands.
1t was tossed to his shoulder, and
poured out its contents in a bright
stream of flame. There was a mo-
ment of silence.
Center shot, ma'am!" cried the
judge.
I'll add twenty dollars to the
purse!" Norton addressed himself to
Darlington. And | shall hope, sir,
to see it go into your pocket"
Our sentiments exactly, ma'am,
are they not?" said the Judge.
perhaps you'd like to bet a little
of your money!" remarked Murrel.
Pm ready to do that too, SIR" re-
sponded Norton quietly.
Five hundred dollars, then, that
this gentleman in whose success you
take so great an interest, can neither
equal nor better my next shot!" Muir
rell had produced a roll of bills as he
spoke.

CHAPTER XII.
The Portal Of Hope.

This" the speaker was Judge
Price; this Is the place for me. They
are warm-hearted people, sir; a
prosperous people, and patriotic
people with an unstinted love OF coun-
try. I'd like to hang out my shingle
here and practice law"
The Judge and Mr.. Mahafy were
camped in the woods between Boggs
and Raleigh. Betty had carried Han
nibal off to spend the night at Belle
Plain.
Il crave opportunity, Solomon-the
Endorsement OF my own class. | feel
that | shall have 1t here" resumed
the Judge pensively. VIII you stroll
into town with me. Solomon" he
asked. Mahaffy shook his head
Then let your prayers follow me,
for I'm Off" said the judge.
Ten minutes walk brought him to
the door of the city tavern, where he
found Mr.. Pegloe directing the activi-
ties of small colored boy who was
hopping out his bar. To him the
judge made known his needs.
Coin to locate, are your" said Mr..
Pegloe.
MY friends urge 1t, sir, and l have
tion." answered the Judge.
We'll, the only empty house in
town is right over yonder; 1t belongs
to young Charley Norton out at
Thicket Point Plantation"
The house Mr.. Pegloe pointed out
was small frame building; 1t stood
directly on the street. with a narrow
porch across the front, and a shed
addition at the back. The judge scut-
tied over to it. The judges pulse
quickened. What a location, and
what fortunate chance that Mr.. Nor
ton was the owner of this most desir-
able tenement He must see him at
once. AS he turned away to recross
the street and learn from Mr.. Pegloe
by what road Thicket Point might be
the village. Catching sight of the
Judge, he refined in his horse and
swung himself from the saddle.
81 was hoping, sir. might find
you." he said.
"A wish l should have echoed had
| been aware of it," responded the
judge. II was about to do myself

plantation"

judge rather obviously, but listened
with kindness as he explained the
business that would have taken him
to Thicket Point.
1.-The house is quite at your serv
ice, sir" he said, at length.
The rent" began the Judge.
But Mr.. Norton, with a delicacy
equal to his own, entreated him not
to mention the rent. The house had
come to him as boot In a trade. Il
had been occupied by a doctor and o
lawyer; these gentlemen had each de-
camped between two days, heavily Il
| debt at the stores and taverns, espe-
cially the taverns. And thus hand
somely did Charley Norton acquit
himself Of the mission he had under
taken at Betty Malroys request
That same morning Tom Ware and
Captain Murrell were seated in the
small detached building at Belle Plain.
known as the Office, where the former
spent most of his time when not in
the saddle.

D!SLOYALTY.

Tn" l. w. WS., the labor union brancii of the socialist party and some other anarchiSlic OrganiZa- lions in this country openly de- clare they do not recognize the American flag, acknowledge nu obligations iO il and propose iG overthrow the government of the United states and io cslahIiSI an industrial republic wherein all present day political rrIncrirns will become extinct.
 This is treason, pure and .;lIn- nlc, and should hr treated as such. The flag that will no; pro- feet it's protectors and C?fcnd iIS defenders is a dI;y rag that c0n.aninatcs inc ar up- on which it floats. The Amcri- can flag protects the American citizen wherever he may be. The man who will not protect and de- fend the American flag is not eng titled tO the privileges of Amcri- can citizenship. The American flag represents the lawful gov crnmcnt of the nation. There should be no room under it for fauntcrs of the red rag of an- aPchy.

THAT ALASKA ROAD.

The pcriinacity with which a large lobby is being kept in Washington tn log roll the pur- chase of the Alaska Northern railroad by the government in c0nsanancc with the expressed wishes of Secretary of the In- tcrior Fisher, attorney for the original owners of the road leads one to believe there is some thing in it" for the Third House memberS if the deal goes through. Late reports from the capital indicate that there has been made a change in the per Sonelle of those pushing for the requirement of the peninsu- la road by Uncle Sam. Falcon .Joslin, the Guggcnhcim lobbyist, MT. Calbraith, secretary of the American Mining Congress and Col. Swanitz, Mir. Stewart, of Toronto with few others have made their appearance on the ground with "harmOny pro- gram which provides that the entire question he left to PreSi- dent Taft, which of course means Fisher and the purchase of the Alaska Northern. But the House Committee on Territories are not to be blinded by the smooth game of the bond holders They have no intention of per hitting Secretary Fisher tn close the deal with the men who pur- chased the Shed bonds through him OF by his efforts. The house will insist on naming a board of army engineers to examine the several possible railroad routes. Upon this report, without rccOm- mendatiOnS, the house commit tee will decide upon the proper route thus taking the whole mat ter out of the hands of those more interested in cOnSummat- ing the deal for the road to the westward than in the good tO be done Alaska by giving il a prac- tical trunk line 10 inc interior of Alaska.
 The action of the house con- mittcc may hurt some; the bonI holders of the Alaska Northern may suffer; our sister city iO the westward may feel keen disap- pOIntmrnt: the Guggcnhrim plan l..
 fail i0 earn it's hOnorillm. but the people of Alaska will be the gain CTS in the long run. By follow ing the present policy of the house Alaska will br assured the most practical route and the one over which the most favorable freight rates can br assured.
