CHAPTER w.

Slade wanted Katherine Strickland
for his wife much the same as he
would have desired a wealthy, clever,
influential man for a partner. 1t was
to be a union of ambition. There was
no tenderness in his thoughts of her,
He was actuated purely and simply by
the lust for power and the greed of
glory. All the softer, better things in
the mans nature were swamped by
this torrent of craving for worldly sue
cess that was sweeping him on to com
nit the most dastardly act in his long
career of trampling over the heads
and hearts of adversaries and oppo-
nents.
Even when he was boy Dan Slade
had always set his teeth at you can't
do it," or 1T can't be done" The very
difficulty of a thing strengthened his
determination to do. All his life long
his success had been punctuated by
the ruin of other men. He had not
advanced so far without pushing other
men back. Now that woman instead
of man stood in the way, the result
was the same. His methods might be
quieter, more merciful, but the answer
would be the same. Mary's sterling
worth, her long years of devotion and
sweet tenderness counted for nothing
once he became convinced that Marys
dowdiness, her standpat policy and her
arrested development were stop-gaps
in his own opportunity for progress
sion. He ignored the fact that the lit
tie brown-eyed, patient woman was as
much a part of him as were his eyes
or his arms or any other very essen
tial part of his being.
1t was at just this point in SHADES
pitiless reasoning that Mary, peering
over the baluster and seeing him
alone, hurried down the stairs.
THANK goodness, they've gone" she
declared as she came into the room.
Then seeing the numerous side lights
burning she fastened to turn one
after the other down to a glimmer.
I'm so glad you're not going out" she
went on, coming over to him and rub
bling her cheek against his sleeve The
little movement was a pathetically
mute appeal for some caress. "What'd
they say?" she asked, suddenly, as
she realized that her tender yearning
met with no response.
But her husband was in no com
municative frame of mind.
You're not mad with me, are yer?" |
she questioned, wistfully, very much |

like an eager child who has been re-
pressed.
NO" Slade replied, briefly and with
out much interest.
Mary breathed quick sigh of relief.
'Ah, then, well have a nice, quiet,
pleasant evening"" she declared, add
ing coaxingly: Let's go upstairs and
have a game of euchre. We haven't
played for ever so long"
Slade looked at her, his eyes drawn
into a deep frown. 1t was true he
wasn't angry with her, but he was
angry at the thwarting circumstances
that were hemming him in. Her very

dropped the discussion of going away
nettled him. Prompted by sudden
impulse, he snatched her workbasket
from her lap and flung it the full
| length of the room. "D-n that bas
ket!' he exclaimed. Cant l ever see
| you without it,"
DAM" Marys gasp of amazement
was the only sound in the room. It
was the first time he had ever been
harsh with her. She shrank back hurt
and frightened. why, good Lord,
Dan, you never did that before"
Then, with quiet dignity, she began
to pick up the basket, the hated darn
ing cotton, the needles and scissors,
and the little worn thimble. Slade,
watching her slight, STOPPING figure,
ought to have been ashamed, but his
anger was flaming hot and he didn't
as much as offer to help.
Mary's mood changed, too.
Il believe you're doing it to get your
own way" she sputtered, but you
amt going to get it. I've got as much
right to my life as you've got to yours"
AS she came up to him, he stood
grim and silent, suddenly determined
that if she wouldn't go he would. If
she refused his offer of home in the
country, then she could have this great
house to herself and he would live at
the club.
There amt anything you could ask
of me | wouldn't do-eXcept-" Marys
troubled face was looking into his.
Except what ask" he finished, sar
castically, and hurried from the room
curtly ordered his dressing bag packed
and then, hat in hand, his oyercoat or
his arm, came back into the room.
Did it ever occur to you, Mary, that
you're a mule?" he asked. You're
sweet and good tempered and amiable
but you'd have given the mule tha'
came out of Noahs ark points on how
to be stubborn
How often have l failed you il
these years, DAM"
You're failing me now. You won

"Well, that's the trouble, we oughl

ting at. We ought to be of one mind"
Whose? Yours?" and Marys sweet
mouth packered into a very little
smile.
I'm DONE" Slade decided, hope
lessly.

would have thought that was cum
Ming" she reproached him.
I'm going to my club, Mary" he
announced, disregarding her playful
attempt to smooth things over.
Mary gazed at him, bewildered by
his swift changes of mood, hurt by
his attitude, almost angry because he
was so unreasonable.
Then leve came rushing up into her
heart. After all he was her Dan. What
did this crossness or his nervousness

of Coming Year.

| call on the cotton congress in ev-

at the court house at IL O'Clock Sat

subjects. First: The planting of small
grains, and second; adjusting the rent

with the farmers and will devise WAYS

seed time, and while our merchants
and bankers feel discouraged over
poor collections, it will be short sight
ed policy for them to fail to provide
ample seed to plant one-third of the
cultivated land in South Carolina i'm

seem to fear there will be no demand
nor sale for small grain next sum

and that any surplus oats, wheat and
rye will find ready sale at high prices.

yesterday in Chicago at 53 cents per

South Carolina should bring that
price plus freight to the seaboard

THE SOUTH NO BEGGAR
Vast Resources Only Need to Be Di-
rected on Conservative Lines.

The South is not begger, declares
the Manufacturers Record. 1t does
not need to beg and it can take care
of itself, or if it cannot do so, then
the sooner its people learn that fact
and bring in others who can take care
of themselves in such heaven-fav-
ored land the better it will be.
No other country on the face of the
earth has so many advantages as the
South. No other country upon which
the sun shines is so rich in resources.
No other country is so well equipped
by nature to produce the foodstuffs of
grain and provisions and vegetables
and fruits for mans sustenance. and
no other country is so rich in mineral
and timber and water power resources
so susceptible of development.
If in such land as this, where the
farmers for the five years preceding
the present crop received an average
OF largely over II cents pound for
their cotton. yielding very large
profits, one years complete failure of
the cotton crop, or one years inability.
as at present, to sell the cotton cron
brings about such a condition as to
flood the land with plasters beggin
for charity to "help the South" then
1T is time for the people of this sec
tion who have backbone and stamina
to take the lead and try to stem the
current.
The South of olden days did not do
so. The South blasted by four years
war never asked for charity, and new
er in those days was the country plas
tered with appeals to "help tho
South" In the ten-year period be-
tween 1892 and 1901, when cotton sold
at from to 5 and 6 to cents a
pound in different years the South
suffered much, but it endured the sit
uation and fought it's fight without
any, such appeals as are now being
made by politicians and others who
are trying to make the South believe
that it ought to be beggar and the
world believe that it is a beggar.

The sFat Man.

(hlcnntOnd llmeS-DlSpatch)
Everybody loves a fat man. That
has been proverbial ever since fat
men first began to attract attention.
For the first time in history some one
of authority has undertaken to criti-
clze them. A navy surgeon complains
that fat men won't do. and that Amer
leans of the short-haired variety are
afflicted with (a) fiat chests, (b) pro-
truding abdomens and (c) distur-
bance of orientation.
Well, what of it? The average
American who can do so eats three
square meals and a lunch or two
daily, drinking as he finds opportunity
and company, goes fishing when the
hsh are biting, and, in spite of popu-
lar fear to the contrary, lives a rela-
lively easy existence. He encourages
f1abbiness above the waist line in the
indulgence of ease, but he still has a
good pair of legs without knobs on
them. All the material of man is
there In plentiful measure. If the
navy doesn't like fat above the waist,
and II the navy doesn't know how to
work it off, let the navy appeal to
Billy Muldoon.
Everybody loves fat man, and,

tonous proceeding, gentlemen, and

BRITANNIA MUST
RULE THE WAVES,
ALL ENGLAND CRIES
Loss of Hawke Starts Criti-
cism of Admiralty's In
ability to Check Daring
Raids Of German Sub
marines.
By ED L. KEEN

LONDON, Oct. IL
All England demands revenge. The Of
fetal announcement that another British
cruiser had fallen victim to torpedo,
hurled by a German submarine, stirred
the nation to its depths. The loss of the
Hawke. with virtually all her crew, is
in itself no serious disaster to Britains
sea strength. There are plenty of war
craft ready to commission to take her
place But the almost uninterrupted
series of successes of the German SUBJ
marines which seem to be able to go
where they please, unchecked by the
British destroyers or torpedo craft has
started a chorus OF criticism of the Ad-
miralty that only stern blow, with re-
sultant success, can check.
While details of the loss of the Hawke
are withheld the very fact that her sur
vivors were landed at Aberdeen would
indicate that it took place far from the
German coast and very close to a British
naval base. Because of this fact the
bewilderment grows. where is the Brit
ish heet?" now is the question on every
ones lips this evening. But it Is a ques-
ton that for strategical reasons must go
unanswered.
At the Admiralty no comment was OBJ
tainable on the latest German move But
the chiefs there made 1t very plain by
in its own way, and 1t will not be greatly
surprising II news was soon forthcoming
of British naval move that will balance
the now greatly one-sded scale.
The general situation is described as ex-
cellent. The uprising in South Africa
rapidly Is being stamped out Reports
received by cable from Premier Botha
state that the army is absolutely loyal,
that all persons suspected of anti-Brit-
sh sentiments are being arrested as rap
idly as they can be located, and that
it will be possible to rescind the martial
law order in the near future. Brigadier
General Lukens, who is in charge OF the
operations against the Germans in Ger
man Southwest Africa, reports that the
Germans have withdrawn so miles inside
of their frontier, leaving n wide space
of desert. in which all water holes have
been polluted. The Germans are acting
entirely on the defensive. and their ulti-
mate defeat Is considered a certainty.
In France the Germans slowly are being
driven back and arrangements have been
made to prevent their taking Dunkirk,
Calais and Boulogne.
In Belgium the situation is hidden un-
der a cloud OF censorship, and there is
no confirmation of the unofficial reports
that Ostend now is held by the Germans,
although 1t is generally accepted as true.
