Cooper Showed Socks.

Walter G. Cooper, secretary OF the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, has
been so busy the past week making
arrangements for the feast that he did
not have time to lay in a stock of At
lanta made goods At the last minute
he rushed into a store and purchased
a pair of Atlanta made socks-and
then didn't have time to put them on
He carried them in his pocket through
out the evening. and whenever any
body asked whether he wore anything
made in Georgia, he'd flash his pocket
socks on them and take two minutes
to explain. Then he'd have to go to
work. Some of Mr.. Cooper's friends
say he made three different excursions
to the dark corners of the hall for the
purpose of exchanging his foreign
born socks for the Atlanta ones, but
each time was called back before he
could even inhibition his shoes.

Searching for Hidden WIN.

The romantic story Of hidden will
is arousing keen interest In the neigh
borhood of Bradley Fold. a little VII
lage three miles from Bolton. Lanca-
shire, England. Search for the mis-
sing document Is being made by q
woman from Gunnersbury. London.
She believes that II she succeeds In
her quest, she will become entitled to
a valuable estate. The search was
prompted originally by statements
made by a medium at a spiritualistic
seance. The will IL supposed to be
concealed in q wall sunk in a shed
which has been bricked up for many
years. 1t formed cellar to an old
house. The London searcher's ances.
tor, John Bradley. who married his
housekeeper. was known to possess
great wealth. No will could be found
after his death.

A negro was coming along the
crossroad.
"Haid her on! Haid her OIL" yelled
the driver.
The negro jumped about the road
and waved his arms. The cow pro-
ceeded calmly on her way.
"Haid her of! Had her on. mig

Made First Lightning Roo.

Nearly everybody believes that Ben
jamin Franklin was the inventor and
constructor Of the first lightning rod.
In this particular they are mistaken.
as the first lightning catcher was in
vented by a poor monk Of Bohemia.
who put up the first lightning rod on
the palace Of the curator Of Preditz.
Moravia, Juna Is. 1854. The apparatus
was composed Of pole surmounted
by an iron rod. supporting IL curved
branches and terminating in as many
metallic boxes filled with iron ore.
The entire system Of wires was uni
ted to the earth by large chain. The
enemies Of the inventor, Jealous OF his
success. excited the peasants of the 10
cality against him and under the pre-
text that his lightning rod was the
cause Of the excessive dry weather
had the rod taken down and the in
ventor imprisoned.

CHAPTER XIV.
Eehoea From the City.

Echoed From the City.
Saliie Kingsbury, unused to psyche
logical analysis, could not have ex-
planned why Mr. Hand was SO OBJ
jectionable to her. He was no relative
OF the family. she had discovered that;
and. accustomed as she was to the old
fashioned gentility OF a thrifty New
England town, instinct told her that
he could not possibly be one Of it's
varied products He might have come
from anywhere; he talked 80 little that
he was suspicious on that ground
alone; and when he did speak, there
was no accent at all that Sallie could
lay hold Of. Useful as he was Just
now In taking care of that poor young
man upstairs. he nevertheless In
spired In that breast a most unholy
irritation. Her attitude was that of q
housemaid pursuing the cat with the
broom.
Mr.. Hand was not greatly troubled
by Sallie's tendency to sweep him out
of the way. but whenever he took any
notice of her he was more than a
match for her. On the afternoon fol-
lowing Agatha's visit to Mrs. Stoddard,
he appeared to show some slight OBJ
lection to being treated like the cat.
He ate his luncheon In the kitchen
a large. delightful room-while Aleck
Van Camp stayed with James. Hand
was stirring broth over the stove. now
and then giving a sharp eye to Sallie's
preparation Of her new mistress

to you. though | never would, In any
other conceivable situation, reply to
such an implication. You have no
right to say or think such things"
"Wickedness must be rebuked OF the
Lord" intoned Mrs. Stoddard.
Are you his mouthpiece?" said Aga
tia scornfully. But she was rebuked
for her scorn by Mrs. Stoddards look.
Her eyes rested on Agatha's face with
pleading and patience, as II she were
a world mother, agonizing for the sal
walton Of her children. f
TT Is his command to pluck the
brand from the burning" said Susan
Stoddard. "Ungodly example Is a sin.
and earthly love often a snare for
youthful feet"
As Agatha listened to Mrs. Stod
dard's strange plea, the instinct with
In her which, from the first moment Of
the interview. had recoiled from this
fanatical but intensely spiritual wom-
an. found It's way. as It we're. into the
light. Such was the power OF her sin
certify, that, in spite of the extraor-
binary character OF the interview, Aga
tha's heart throbbed with new com.
prahonsion which was almost love. She
stspped closer to Susan Stoddard, her
tail figure overlapping the others
sturdy one. and took one of her strong
work-kardened hands.
Mrs. Stoddard. this man has never
spoken word OF love to me. But II
! ever marry, It will be a man like
him-a plain. high.hearted gentleman.
There! You have woman's secret.
And now come with me, and help US
to save life. You cannot, you must
not refuse me now
The subtle changes Of the mind are
hard to trace and are often obscure
even to the eye Of science; but every
day these changes make or mar our
Joy. Susan Stoddard looked for a long
minute up into the vivid face bending
over hers. while her spirit, even as
Agatha's had done. pierced the hedge
which separated them. and compre-
hended something Of the goodness in
the others soul. Finally she laid her
other hand over Agatha's, enclosing
II In strong clasp. Then. with a
certain pathetic pride In her submis-
sion. she said
Il have been wrong, Agatha; I will
come" Agatha's grateful eyes dwelt
on hers, but the strain Of the inter
view was beginning to count. She
sank down In the chair that Mrs. Stod-
dard lad offered at the beginning OF
their meeting. and covered her eyes
with one hand. The elder woman kept
the other.
We will not go 10 our task alone"
she said, I'VE will ask Gods help. The
prayer OF faith shall heal the sick"
Then falling to her knees by Agatha's
side. with rapt. lifted face and closed
eyes. she made her confession and her
petition to the Lord. Her ringing voice
intonsd the phrases of the Bible as II
they had been music and bore the bur-
den OF her deepest soul. She said she

righteousness to others. and that she
