clever criminal ways in his prison cell,
how shrewdly might he use his little
capital in schemes to fleece the I'M
wary, to enrich himself. Then, too,
the pleasures of the great metropolis
dazzled him.
ITO live the life!" he breathed hot
ly- latter those ten years, chained up
like a wild beast!"
Just then an echoing hail attracted
his attention. From the doorway of
a neat little farmhouse a comely girl
ish matron was waving a welcome to
her husband, returning from work in
the fields. The observer noted the
aspect of comfort and plenty about
the place, the warm genuine love
greeting Of the twain.
His lip quivered, tear fell upon his
outstretched hand. He turned from
the sight.
Love, peace, happiness!" he NUT
tered in a broken tone, "but not for
me, the branded! the accursed Of hui
manityi"
A bitter scowl wreathed his face and
he walked away from the spot amongst
the deep shade of the river path. At
that moment, as he realized that his
hand was against every man and ev-
cry mans hand against him, the
wealth that had come to him was as
worthless dross. There was a strug-
gle between his better nature and the
promptings of his recent environment,
but the struggle was not decisive.
"Help!"
The word rang out involuntarily
from his lips. Engrossed in thought,
tramping on recklessly in his desper-
ate mood, he had not noted his course.
He had stumbled on a trailing vine.
The next mon ent he went headlong
down the steep decline and was en-
quilted by the rushing waters of the
turbid river.
There was a rapid swirl to the cur

stream. Burnham was not a swim
mer. Helpless, he sank once, twice.
Then his water-drenched gaze made
out a man on the path, % feet up the
sloping bank He was stranger, and
quickly dropping a satchel he carried;
he sprang into the water.
Sinking for the third time, almost
unconscious, Burnham felt himself be-
ing seized and dragged ashore. AS
he finally regained his senses it was to
find his rescuer lying by his side on

Deer COPIED Cabbage.

A herd Of deer celebrated the close
Of the cunning season by invading the
garden of Postmaster A. G. Stewart at
Weymouth, n. j., and eating his win
ter supply of cabbage. Several gum
ming parties have been encamped
within a hundred yards of the spot
during the week and dozen deer have
been shot in the immediate vicinity.
The deer came to within fifty feet OF
where two stag hounds were tethered
to their kennels and the barking OF
the dogs aroused the postmaster and
his son, who saw the herd scampering
away in the moonlight.
Sportsmen here say that the season
just closed has been the best In many
years. The heavy foliage remaining
on the trees gave the deer more shell
ter than usual. Over thirty bucks
have been reported bagged within a.
ten-mile radius of Weymouth. This
was proportion of about one to every
twenty gunners.

SAvINGANOUTCAST
By MARAH ALICE PETERS.

For good or bad, the world all be-
before me! Freedom, health-which
path shall take?''
The man who spoke was an ex-con-
Wet. He had just been released from
the penitentiary after serving ten
years sentence for embezzlement. He
was not thirty-five. yet his hair was
streaked with gray and there was a
certain hardness about the lips that
comes from solitude and resentment.
/, In word, Mark Burnham, with lit
tie or no bringing up, an orphan from
a tender age, had wasted five years of
his life, had secured good position.
Finally temptation had come, he had
appropriated funds of his employer
and had been convicted.
Z, During all those years of hard labor
he had preserved stolid, rather than
submissive attitude. He had count
ed the days on notched stick. The
last one had been reached He was
freed with new suit of clothes and
a few dollars in his pocket At the
door of the prison he was met by a
lawyer. A distant relative had left
him $4,000. a free man, he could
now claim it.
The snug little fortune or it's equiv
alent now reposed within a secret
pocket. That afternoon he had walked
to line of hills overlooking the coun.
try around, to analyze his unexpected
condition of afluence, to plan for the
future.
His mind was blank as an unwrit-
ten page. He had no friends. He had
paid the law it's penalty. He was
clear of the world, and it's fortune,
good or bad, all before him. Which
path, indeed, might he take!
AS he recalled how harshly fate had
dealt with him, as afar to the east
he caught the glittering spires of big
bustling city, his breath came quick
and hard. With all he had heard of

CASTLE UNDER THE SEA.

Among certain of the japanese
there is a belief that somewhere I'M
der the sea there is a wonderful
castle in which the beautiful queen
of the fishes resides. Sometimes
they think this castle rises to the
surface and is visible to mortal eyes
"a belief that probably had its or
igin in the phenomenon of the mi
rage. When the castle appears, the
superstitious believe, representatives
of all the fnny tribes hasten to it
to pay homage to their ruler. Some
time ago, in honor of the "fishy"
queen and her subjects, the fisher
men Of Futami made a number of
gigantic fish of canvas and bamboo,
painted in gorgeous colors, which
were towed in procession through the
water, enormous crowds watching

BEES RETAIN THEIR SECRET
Scientists BaffIed In Efforts TO Find
Explanation Of Homlna Power
Of Honey Producers.

Apropos of the instinct of bees,
Henry Fabre, the naturalist, tells in
the Fortnightly Review a character
istic story about Charles Darwin and
himself. Darwin wanted to explain
the 'homing" instinct of bees, and
induced Fabre to begin a series of
experiments with that purpose in
view. A regular plan of campaign
was drawn up. Marked bees were
placed in a dark box and carried
away from the hive in the opposite
direction from that in which they
were finally liberated. The box was
repeatedly turned about, so that the
inmates would lose all sense of direc-
ton.
Every possible means was taken to
render useless any known or con-
ceivable methods of obtaining ones
bearings. The bees were even placed
within an induction coil in the eff
fort to confuse them. The result of
a long and elaborate series of tests
was nil so far as any explanation of
the homing power was concerned.
In every case from thirty to forty
per cent of the bees found their way
home without apparent trouble, no
matter how confusing the trip away
from home had been.

DIRE WORK OF VOLCANOES.

The volcanic eruption, which oc-
CURED some weeks ago in the New
Hebrides, has altered the whole face
of Ambrym island, according to a re.
port of the steamer Makambo. The
site of the mission hospital is now
fathoms beneath the sea, while there
are two miles of billy country where
previously there was sea. During
the eruption the sea was boiling, and
turtles and fish rose to the surface
cooked. Doctor Bowie, principal
missionary on Ambrym island, gives
a graphic description of the erup-
tions. One by one, he says, the
mountains burst into flames, until
ten volcanoes were emitting molten
lava. There was no panic, however,
among the natives, who numbered
$500 in the threatened districts of
the island. Most of them were safely
conveyed to Malakala, ~ miles
away, but over a hundred people
persisted. Throughout the process of
embarkation the volcanoes continued
in eruption. Some of the natives
were drawn into the streams of burn
ing lava, and others were blown away
in the boats in which they had taken
refuge, and were drowned or boiled
in the sea.

The Shelby Record comes out
strong for Stanley for Senator. Ed
itor Shinnick says:
We believe that Stanley would be
the strongest man of the four in the
general election. He has fought the
trusts and been the friend Of the
farmers and tobacco growers in Con-
gress. He has made a splendid rep
resentative and the only thing that
is held against him is the fact that
he opposes Mr.. Beckham and that he
did not vote for the Webb-Kenyon
Bill. He gives as his reasons for
this that he believed it unconstitu-
tional. Two of the members of
President Wilson's Cabinet, w. c..
Redfeld, Secretary of Commerce,
and Hon. A. S. Burleson, Postmaster
General, were in Congress at the
same time and voted on that ques-
ton as Stanley did and for the same
reason. During his twelve years in
Congress he has supported every
measure demanded by the temper
ance people. He voted against the
army canteen and C. o. d. shipments
of whisky, and like our illustrious
President is for local option. Isn't
it unbelievable that the temperance
people would vote against him be-
cause he did not vote for the Webb
Kenyon Bill? In his speech at Ben
ton, KY, on April 6, Mr.. Stanley
said: 81 had always believed in

Dallas, Texas, Sept. 24-Buy-a-ba lie
clubs have been organized in almost
every town and city in Texas. Ware
houses have been constructed and
many others are under contract and
will soon be ready for the use OF
farmers. Commercial clubs. fraternal
orders, social clubs and labor unions
have joined in the buy-a-bale move
mcnt extensively throughout Texas.
Business firms Of this state have
also taken considerable interest III
the movement. Large wholesale
houses, jobbers and others OF the
north have also become interested and
have bought much cotton through
their Texas customers. Accurate
figures as to the amount of cotton
sold in Texas under this plan are not
available. but it can be safely esti-
mated that four-fifths Of the cotton
sold so far has been bought under this
plan, and it does not appear thai
more than one-third Of the COTTON
ginned to date has been sold.
About 100000 bales have been
ginned in Texas to date.
