look. He waited till through the rear
window he saw the negro's bent figure
disappear into the kitchens. Then he
~noiselessly lifted himself upright, and
resting the pistol on the screen-top,
took deliberate ai3l and pulled the
trigger.
The hammer clicked sharply on the

pulled the trigger.

major. 1t was all he said, for, as he
swung his chair up, the one-time bully
of Hell's-Half-Acre rushed in and
struck him a single sledge-hammel
blow with the dubbed pistol. 1t fell
full on the majors temple and the
heavy iron crashed through.

Uncle Jefferson's lips relaxed In a

He disappeared around the corner
of the porch and the major strobe into
the hall, threw his gray SLOUGH hat
on the table, and sat down.
1t was quiet and peaceful, that an
Gent hall. He fell to thinking Of the
many times, of old, when he had sat
there. The house was the same again,
now. 1t had walked from a thirty
years slumber to a renewed prime.
Only he had lived IN meanwhile and
now was old. He sighed.
How gay the place had been the
night of the ball, with the lights and
roses and music! He remembered
what the doctor had said about Val
fant and Shirley-it had lain ever
since in his mind, a painful specula-
ton. The recollection reused another
thought from which he shrank. He
stirred uneasily. What on earth kept
that old darby so long owe that iulep?
A slight noise made him turn his
Iead. But nothing moved. Only a
creak of the woodwork, he thought,
ana settled back again in his chair.
1t was, in fact, a stealthy football
he had heard. 1t came from the
library, where a shabby figure
rcrouched, listening, in the corner be-
hind the tapestried screen--a man
sevilly clad, with a SCARED cheek.
1t had been with no good purpose
that Greet King had logged the major
these last few days. He Rugged a hot
hatred grown to white heat in six
years of prison labor within bleak
walls at the clicking shoe-machine, or
with the chain-gang on blazing or
frosty turnpikes. He had skunk be-
hind him that afternoon, creeping up
the drive under cover Of the bushes,
and while the other talked with Uncle
Jefferson, had skirted the house and

AN open French window. Now as he
peered from behind the screen, a
poker, snatched from the fireplace,
was in his hand. His furtive gaze fell
.npon a morocco-covered case on a
commode by his side. He lifted its
lid and his eyes narrowed as he saw
that it held a pistol. He set down
the poker noiselessly and took the
weapon. He tilted tit was rusted
but there were loads in the chambers
He crouched lower, with a whispered
course: the major was coming into the
library, but not alone-the old niger
was with him!

II Saved the Natives.

A writer in Rome relates that some
ladies touring in Sicily rented an auto
mobile to take them to an interesting
neighborhood. away from the beaten
track Of travel. Everyone crossed
himself as the machine went by. A
man riding a horse saw 1t coming,
leaped into the adjoining field and fed
for his life; a horse drawing a cart
with a man in 1t did the same thing

Little Interest in the City Series

No stranger in our city would be-
Iieve that the city series, usual dis
rupter Of homes, is only one week
away. 20
Never before has there been so
little advance interest in the annual
clash between the two local clubs Of
organized baseball.
Many causes have been advanced
for this apathy on the part of Chi
cago fans. The European war and
the Feds come in for the major por-
ton Of the blame. But the teams
themselves are largely at fault.
Both, on paper, deserve a perch in
their respective leagues higher than
that now occupied. The Cubs are in
fourth place, with SIX more games to
play. Their only hope Of climbing
is to win five out Of the six from
the Cardinals.
