"He sure is a dandy" said |.
And with what subtle care he has
chosen his background in that cadaver

He surely has an eye for dramatic
contrast. No actor could have ar
ranged the thing more cleverly. He
looks like an angel OF light alongside OF
that villainous looking man of his"
l glanced across the sands to where
Barlow's valet was standing. and rea-
lized the truth of Rawson's words. Ca
daver was the very word that fitted.
Tall, very slender, of pasty white COM
plexion, and utterly subservient when
spoken to, Barlow's man servant re-
minded one very forcibly of Dickens
famous character, Uriah Heep.
'He must know some terrible secret
connected with Barlow's past" l
laughed, "or he'd be fired overnight"
Maybe" said Rawson laconically.
AT this point the bathers came run
ming up from the sea, and Barlow threw
himself down alongside OF US, dripping
with salt water.

that was holy that never in my life

"Oh, it might have to be rewritten, I"
said Barlow. Frankly, it's so long
since I've seen copy that l couldn't
say now whether its revival would be
a good thing or not. Revivals are dan
gerous things at best, and-but, by Jove,
there goes the Robert E. Lee" he ad-
ded, iuterrupting himself, as the hotel

Rawson the next morning, as we sat on

He rose up and left US, and a few
moments later was demonstrating to the
satisfaction of an admiring ballroom
that the gods had endowed his feet al
most as lavishly as his head. There
was quite as much tang in his tango
as there was in his novels.

Rawson, as we paced the broad veranda
of the hotel, in the moonlight, and
watched the versatile Barlow pirou-
citing within.

most interesting of his kind that l have

You'll have long search, Jinksy,"
said Rawson, with a laugh.

"Yes," said Rawson. And what's
more, my boy, it never was in print!'
"What7" I cried.
"Sure thing" said Rawson. There

Magic Cup Jenkins, was invented on
the spur of the moment by your humble
and obedient servant. There's some
thing doing here Jinks, and don't you
forget itl"
Rawson, as usual was right. There
was indeed something doing, but as it
turned out it was far and away beyond
anything had personally dreamed of.
1t puzzled me more than ! can say that
Barlow should have fallen into the trap
Rawson had evidently set for him in
THE Magic Cup" Obviously there was
something queer afoot, but as one look
ed into the frank and open face of Bar
low it seemed absolutely impossible that
he could be anything but the wholly de-
lghtful and engaging personality he
appeared to be. If he were a faker,
there certainly was no evidence of the
fact in his general department, and per-
sonally should have set him down as
one of the most genuinely unaffected

other possibility occurred to me which |

MARRIAGE LICENSE FEES.

Within the last few years, the Leg
isla ture of South Carolina has passed
a marriage license law, requiring the
Probate Judges to issue marriage IL
censes and keep a permanent record
of the same.
The fee charged for this work is
n dollar, of which the Probate
Judge gets twenty-five cents while
severty-fve cents of the fee goes to
the school fund. In this county the
fees amount to about three hundred
dollars annually.
There are many reasons why this
entire fee should 60 to the Probate
Judge. 1t is a mere pittance and
amounts to less than five cents per
pupil of the pupils enrolled in the
county.
The Probate Judges Office is not
only a necessary Office in the county,
it requires a man of more than av-
eraged ability to properly fill it, and
the fees of the Office, in this county
at least, are not sufficient to furnish a
living income. Even if there was
not a great deal of extra work en-
tailed on the Office by reason of the
marriage license law, there would be
no improperly in thus supplement-
ing the Probate Judges income.
But the fact is, the one dollar fee
does not more than compensate the
Probate Judge for the extra work en-
~tailen, and he should get it all.

that MI. J. T. Bradley, of Union,
was in the city and he was playing
Santa Claus to each of his five mar
ried brothers and sisters in and out OF
town.
On last Saturday, the day after
Christmas, we found another barrel
of -four in Jul back piazza. While
Mr.. ]. t. Bradley was in the city
then, and there is a strong presump'
ton that he sent the flour again, we
are risking no weak points making
inquiry about it. If the good Saint

more than one small reindeer around
to carry what will be left of it to its
