CHAPTER XII.
In the Shadow of the MIL

The next day but one was overcast.
On cloudy, bleak days Hetty Castle
ton always felt depressed.
Leslie was to return from the wilds
on the following day. Early in the
morning Booth had telephoned to in
quire if she did not want to go for a
long walk with him before luncheon
The portrait was finished, but he
could not afford to miss the morning
hour with her. He said as much to
her in pressing his invitation.
Tomorrow Leslie will be here and
l sha'n't see as much of you as I'd
like" he explained, rather wistfully.
Three is crowd, you know. I've
got SO used to having you all to my
self, it's hard to break off suddenly"
Il will be ready at eleven" she said,
and was instantly surprised to find
that her voice rang with new life, new
interest. The grayness seemed to lift
from the view that stretched beyond
the window; she even looked for the
sun in her eagerness.
1t was then that she knew why the
world had been bleaker than usual.
even in its cloak of gray.
A little before eleven she set out
briskly to intercept him at the gates.
Unknown to her, Sara sat in her
window, and viewed her departure
with gloomy eyes. The world also
was gray for her.
They came upon each other unex-
pectedly at sharp turn in the ave-
nue.. Hetty colored with a sudden
rush of confusion, and had all she
could do to meet his eager, happy
eyes as he stood over her and pro-
claimed his pleasure in jerky, awk-
ward sentences. Then they walked
on together. a strange shyness at
tending them. She experienced the
faintness of breath that comes when
the heart is filled with pleasant
alarms. AS for Booth, his blood sang.
He thrilled with the joy of being near
her, Of the feel Of her all about him,
Of the delicious feminine appeal that
made her so wonderful to him. He
wanted to crush her in his arms, to
keep her there forever, to exert all
Of his brute physical strength so that
she might never again be herself but
a part of him.
They uttered commonplaces. The
spell was on them. 1t would lift, but
for the moment they were powerless
to struggle against it. At length he
saw the color fade from her cheeks;
her eyes were able to meet his with
out the look in them that all men love.
Then he seemed to get his feet on the
ground again. and strange, ineffably
sweet sense of calm took possession
Of him.
81 must paint you all over again."
he said, suddenly breaking in on one
of her remarks. "Just as you are
today-an outdoor girl. glorious out
door girl in"
"In muddy boots," she laughed,
drawing her skirt away to reveal a
shapely foot In an American walking
shoe.
He smiled and gave voice to a new
thought. "By Jove, how much better
looking. our American shoes are than
the kind they wear in London!"
Sara insists on American shoes,
so long as l am with her. / don't
think our boots are so villainous, do
your"
Just the same, I'm going to paint
you again, boots and all. You"
"Oh, how tired you win become OF
mel"
TRY mel"
Besides. you are to do Sara at
once. She has consented to sit to
you. She win be wonderful. Mr..
Booth, oh. how wonderfuli"

CHAPTER x.-Continued.

He looked as though he expected
nothing. He could only sit back and
wonder why the deuce Sara meant by
behaving like this.
They returned at seven. Dinner
was unusually merry. Sara appeared
to have recovered from her indispo-
sition; there was color in her cheeks
and life in her smile. He took 1t to
be an omen of good fortune, and was
fmmeasurably confident. The soft,
cool breezes of the starlit night blew
visions of impending happiness across
his lively imagination; famed his i'm
patience with gentle ardor; filled him
with suppressed sighs of contentment,
and made him willing to forego the
delight Of conquest that he might live
the longer in serene anticipation of
its thrills.
Ten o'clock came. He arose and
stretched himself in sort OF ecstasy.

All merchants in this territory

and it is estimated that the pur-
chase of cotton bags will amount
in cotton to % bales per day.
The combined capacity of these

about 10000 barrels per day.
Cotton bags are used for the

Campaign Pledges.
BY George Fitch.

A campaign pledge is a promissory
note given without security in ex-
change for an office.
When in the heat of the campaign
the candidate discovers that the calm
and Indifferent voter is not swinging
his hat as wildly as he should he
begins making promises. He pledges
himself to carry out extensive re-
forms and improvements in the gov
eminent. He promises to enforce
sweeping economies and to reduce
taxes until they cannot be viewed
with the naked eye. He declares that
if elected he will work from 6 a. m.
until midnight daily for a law in
creasing incomes so per cent. And
then the voter still being reluctant
he swears that in the event of his
election he will abolish the national
debt, build government buildings in
every town in his district, make a
ship canal out of Dry Run, divide the
treasury reserve among the people,
double the wheat yield, institute free
railroad fares and postpone winter
until February /.
When a candidate is in good form
and excited by his campaign he will
promise to abolish rheumatism with
out hesitation. Nothing grows so
rapidly as the promising habit nor
has such Tegretable results. When
candidate has been elected and the
first seventeen men who shake hands
with him remind him that he has
promised them the pOstOftice he be-
gins to realize for the first time that
promising is not an art, but dis
ease.
Later on, when he runs for re-elec-
ton and 375 stern, quiet men go out
of their way to tell him in words that
bite like a serpent that they will sit
up all night in order to vote against
him early, and often, he becomes pen
sive and thinks bitterly of the care
less Providence which equipped the
voter with a memory.
The trouble with campaign prom
Uses is that there is no collection
agency for realizing upon the same.
If the candidate who borrowed the
vote of the citizen by promising him
| legislation and other staples were re-
uuired to make good or go to jail for
obtaining votes under false pretenses
| the halls of legislation would be I'LL
ed with extremely worried men try
ing to make good.

SHALL THE FARMER
BE MADE A JAIL BIRD?

From the Atlanta Georgian.
The farmer of the South, who pro-
duces the cotton of the world and
who lives in the only section of the
earth where cotton can be grown in
sufficient quantity to supply the an
nual demand for clothing the world,
probably is tired of being advised by
the politician as though he were de-
ficient in common sense and discre-
ton.
Because he has been industrious
and has produced an abundance OF
cotton, utilizing the limit of the
great opportunities vouchsafed him,
and because he has become Temporal
rily a victim of his own over-indus-
triousness, two profoundly weighty
remedies have been proposed for his
relief next year.
If he undertakes to produce next
year more than one-half of this year S
cotton crop he must either be taxed
beyond all reason on his over-produc-
ton or he must be arrested and put
in Jail!
There is no appeal to his reason or
common sense in either of these pro-
posals-they amount to fiat declar-
alton that the cotton farmer is a
fool, and must be dubbed into doing
whatever is good for him, if from no
fault of his own he gets into trouble.
1t has been proposed to congress
that the cotton grower next year be
required to hold himself down to
one-half of this years crop, or stand
a $20-a-bale tax on the excess, and it
has been proposed in the South Caro-
lima legislature by some high brow
that the police power of the state be
invoked and that production next
year of over so per cent of this year
shall be made a misdemeanor and
that the guilty party shall be arrest
ed and put in jail!
The farmer may enjoy This sort OF
remedial suggestion, but this news
paper doubts it.
The farmer isn't foOl-and he
isn't a criminal. He doesn't propose
to be listed as the one or the other.
The suggestion that he be jailed for
being industrious is cOWardly-and
we venture the opinion that South
ern Legislators would think a long
time before voting either for a taxa
ton measure of a put-the-farmer-in-
jail measure!
The farmers of the South should
diversity their crops-and they have
been doing it, for that matter, to a
far greater degree than ten years or
so ago. There is room for further
rsitication-along sensible lines,
Of course-but the thing to do now
is to talk sense to the farmer, and
not to threaten him with prohibitive
taxation, or the Jail!
Because he, for once, through mis-
fortune, is caught in a trap why jail
him or tax him out of existence?
We don't think he will stand for
either.
