SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING
CHAPTERS.

Stanley Hargreaye, millionaire,
after a miraculous escape from the
den Of the gang Of brilliant thieves
known as the Black Hundred, lives
the life Of a recluse for eighteen
years. Hargreave one night enters
a Broadway restaurant and there
comes face to face with the gangs
lcader. Braine.
After the meeting, during which
neither man apparently recognizes
the other, Hargreaye hurries to his
magnificent Riverdale home and lays
plans for making his escape from the
country. He writes a letter TO the
girls school In New Jersey where
eighteen years before he had
mysteriously left on the doorstep his
baby daughter, Florence Gray. He
also pays a visit to the hangar of a
daredevil aviator.
Braine and members Of his band
surround Hargreave's home at night,
but as they enter the house the
watchers outsiee see n balloon leave

In some manner or other Florence
became separated from Susan. She
hunted through aisle after aisle, but
could not find her; for the simple
reason that Susan was hunting for
her. II occurred to the girl that
Susan might have wisely concluded
the best place to wait would be in
the taxicab. And so Florence hur-
ried out into the street, into the
arms of the Wendt family, who were
patiently awaiting her.
The trusted chauffeur had been
sent around to the side entrance By
the major domo. The young lady
had 81 requested, so he said.
Florence struggled and called for

LEE COUNTY ENDORSES
MANNING FOB GOVERNOR

Bishopville, S. c., Aug. 13, 1914.
To the Democratic Voters Of South
Carolina:
It is a poor policy to split up our
votes among a great many candi-
dates; by doing so some man that
the majority does not want. is apt
to get a plurality in the first race
and so be the candidate In the
second race, when as a matter OF
fact a big majority of people are
opposed to. him. We, farmers and
business men of Lee County, wish
to commend to all our fellow South
C~arolinians our neighbor and a man
we know we'll, Hon. Richard I.
Manning, as their choice for COVER
nor. Mr.. Manning is first of all a
successful farmer, and next, Is a sue
cessful business man. He is a man
whose private life is above ~reproach,
whose public life is always open, who
takes a stand to what he thinks is
right and does not put his honest con-
victions aside for a stand that he does
not believe in but. which will bring
him votes. If elected he will make
South Carolina an able governor, con-
Quoting the affairs of the State along
sound but progressive lines.
United we stand; divided we fall
We urge every good South Carolinian
who wants to see u State well gov
erned for the next two years to vote
for Richard I. Manning.

DID THE ~SPARTANBUEG IN
CIDENT INJURE RICH
ARDS, CHANCES?

What Mr.. Richards, candidate for
Governor, may have thought to have
been his undoing al Spartauburg
may be to him a blessing in disguise.
Undoubtedly, Richards has had a
long lead ON the other candidates Of
his faction, and had the campaign
continued undisturbed, ne and some
one of the an%ti-factiOn would have
made the second race. AS matters
now stand there is a fair chance of
Richards and Irby splitting the
Blease vote while five or six strong
anti BIease candidates will divide
the anti lease vote. The question
is: will any anti-Biease candidate so
far outstrip his running mates as to
get in the second race? If Richards
should be thrown into the second
race with ain anti-Blease candidate,
there is strong probability Of his de-
feat, for the candidates within his
own faction have scored him severely
as an eleventh hour convert, and
many of his own faction would prob
ably not vote for him. If, on the
other hand, his second race is with
Irby, he would receive many anti
Blease votes as being the more con-
sentative of the two candidates.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN
" PARTY.

Undoubtedly the State campaign
party that attended the Abbeville
meeting on last Saturday furnished
the most entertaining setof speeches
that an Abbeville audience.h has ever
'beeh treated to. Almost without ex-
iception the candidates weresgood ma
tured and their parliamentary spar
ring with each other was thoroughly
enjoyed by the audience.
The speeches of John u. Duncan
and J. B.. A. Mutually were master
pieces of keen sarcasm and amusing
banter. Mr.. Mutually notified his
hearers thaf>he would take a recess
after his regular IA minute speech
and would resume his remarks on
the Court House stsps, in the eve
ming after supper. "a godd audience
awaited him and he entertained
them to the fullest for more than an
hour. -
Both of these gentssmen kinder see
epooks, but there issho rubbing it out
that they talk entertasningfy. A
joint debate betw9en them would be
a gooG stage featuae. n. =
In he main, Ill. the other candi-
dates for Governor made good i'm.
preeSions, and all gaveAhe audience
soneshing to think about, even in
the short space ID IA minutes. Per,

err n is still an unravelled question.
-r,ndidates for minor offices made

mighty good reason why he alone
eould best servethe people.
1t can but bSssaid for the political
ca mpaigns this year that they r on
a higher plane. Aside from the
rather severe charges and counter
charges in evidence in the Senatorial
campaign speakers, #sho appeared in
Abbeville cou1ssy haye been entirely
courteous to each offer, and the be-
havior of the geoplesverywhere can
not be too highly cofimended.

principles that most nearly represent
the right Who will best perform
his duty honestly, faithfully and fear
lessly as an officer? Who will serve
the people and not his own selfish
ends? The debt is entirely on the
part of the candidate and not the
people. What the people want is
service and they pay their money for
it. The offices belong to the people
and not to the candidate, hence in
bestowing them, they should be Civ
en- where the best service will be had.
One thing all factions and individ-
ual candidates should agree upon,
and that is that we will accept the
result of the primary without muir
muir or dissent. At one time we en-
tertained the fear that the enroll
ment might not be full, and a large
pei. cent. of our white people might
not participate in the primary. This
fear has vanished, and with it the
now evidently absurd charge that
there was wholesale fraud in the
State last year. Even Charleston
that was held up to the scorn of the
nation has shown an enrolment I'M
der the new law in excess of her last
vote.
1t is about time for our people to
cease distrusting each other, and to
vote with one mind for the good of
the State. It is every mans sacred
right to vote for the candidate of his
choice, and in this no man should be
INSTRUCTED. For this reason we have
advocated the least possible interfer-
ence with the primary, consistent
with a fair election. For this same
reason we have opposed any boiling
out process by q convention OF any
faction. Every candidate should
stand on his merits, to win or lose,
by the voice of the people. .
We are one people, even if torn by
factions, and the great majority OF
the people have the good of South
CAROLINA at heart. Let US then come
together in the primary, settle our
difference, accept the verdict and
work together for the good of the

WHERE is THE DOVE OF
PEACE?

1t is said that the line Of battle on
the French and German frontier will
be over $50 miles long, a distance
that would stretch entirely across
the State of South Carolina. For sew
eral days the opposing armies have
been bringing their millions Of SOL
diers into battle array, and the work
OF carnage is hourly expected to be-
gin.
When one contemplates this scene
in which an entire continent is in
volved he must wonder if the world
is really growing better. Think of
the millions Of young lives that will
be sacrificed to the war demon &;
III. of the mourning that will be
naed into hundreds Of thousands of
homes; then search for the cause.
AS far as the people were concerned
there was no cause. The quarrel was
a quarrel of crown-heads, purely the
outgrowth of jealousy, and yet, with
savage instinct, MILLIONS Of soldiers
and millions of civilians take up the
war cry with all the blood lust of the
-ancielts.
When Mr.. Carnegie was building
peace temples in South America and
giving millions for peace conferences
among these same crown heads, peo-
pie thought that perhaps after all Mr.
Carnegie had been blessed with
wealth for a noble purpose. But the
pride and passions of men have set
at naught MI. Carnegie,s dream, and
he perhaps. looks on his lifework as q
ALLURE if not a joke. =
1t is interesting to think of the
probable outcome of this continental
war. VIII the nations of Europe
continue to enlarge and equip their
armies and nsvies, or will: they dis
arm? 1t should be plain now, that
unless the size of each nations army
can be fixed by international agree
ment. in some kind of peace confer
euee, jealousy will continue to make
the armies more and more burden
some until the people will REBEL.
If after this war if the standing ar
mics Of Europe are not reduced. condi-
tons will grow worse and worse un-
til present monarchie: will be swept
away and simplifed republican gov
ernments will take tAeiF places. Per-
haps existing governments will see
the folly of the present system and
will turn from it to ways Of peace.
Perhaps Mr.. Carnegie may yet live
to realize his dream, when the fury
of this wa- will have been spent and
its futility demonstrated.
