1t had evidently been whispered in New York

1t was no breach of business confidence for him to

all about Bevie and Ruby: she had encouraged the

would not willingly have married him for his wealth

to have few words with her that morning. She told

made Lady Bellmore very
thirsty, and she and her COM
panion and secretary, Miss
Moystin. who was with her,
were quite charmed with
the looks of one rural re-
treat. SO they concluded to
alight and to have a cup of
tea.
There was a motor al the
entrance, which Lady Bell
more thought she had seen
before. Before the proprietor
could stop them the two wo-
men had walked into a small
side room, and there at a
table, extremely interested in
each other, sat Bcvie and a
very pretty girl, whom Miss
Moystin recognized as Ruby
Shark.
Lady BellmOre hated scenes
in public; so she hastily with
drew and drove home. But
she began to keep the tele-
phone wires busy communi-
eating with her most intimate
friends. She soon learned that
it was general rumor that
Bevie was desperately in love
with Miss Shark. They had
been seen many times to-
gethcr in New York and more
recently at Narragansett,
across thebay. Mrs. Mowcher
sent posthaste to Lady Bell
more copy OF a Society pub
lication in which it was posi-
lively stated that Ruby and
Bevie were engaged and were
determined on a secret mar
riage.
This was too much Shark

evening there was what nov

las figured oet that the twelve states
east u the Mississippi and south oi
the Ohio river possess latent rescur-
ces which can be utilized to add lnil-
lions OF dollars to their annual Output
because of the European war. On
this he said:
"The United States imports raw and
manufactured goods annually amount
ing to hundreds of millions Of dollars
from England, Germany, France. Rus
sia, Belgium and Austria Hungary, ali
of whom are now at war, and from
Switzerland, Holland, Norway, Swed'
en-, Spain and Portugal. One of the
results of the war will be cut off these
sources of our supplies, at least SO
far as concerns the nations actually
engaged in war. Business relations
with the other neutral European coun-
tries will naturally be disturbed by
reason of the lack of shipping facili-
ties and extra insurance risks.
"A study of the lists of these i'm
ports reveals the fact that quite a
large proportion of them could be
made in the south out of raw material
now lying idle, or il the south does
not contain some of the necessary raw
materials it can import them from
Central and South America, and other
countries, just as easily as European
nations have imported them.
THE south consumes its share of
these imports probably to an amount
of over a hundred million dollars an
nually. In some cases suitable sub
stitutes can beNfound and the south
erner is not behind in constructive in
genuity. Some one may say the south
cannot compete with the cheap labor
of Europe. 1t must be remembered
that probably seyenty-five per cent of
Europes cheap labor has been re-
moved from the field of competition
and placed on the field of battle and
therefore is no longer factor in COM

case goods made in the south will not
have to bear the cost of Trans-Atlan-
tic transportation and import duties.

INTO THE BATTLE.

Into the battle the trooper speeds
As the bugles call and the drums
respond;
Into the fight as the captain leads
Where the low line waits on the
hills beyond
Waits for the signal-then the crack
Of blue steel trimmed with crest OF
flame,
And few ride back on the homeward
track
Where many rode when the order
came.
Into the battle the trooper speeds,
Into the line where the rifle rings,
But little the trooper hears or heeds
The song of hate which the shrap-
mel sings
The roar of battle-the curse-the
shout
The crash and clamor of friend and
The riderless horse that wheels about
And gallops past to the plains below
Far out from the smoke wreath, far
away,
He hears the patter. of little feet;
The dim, far call of child at play
With babyhood laughter, now and
sweet;
The murmur of voices, dream-swept
far
From the little path to the cottage
gate,
Where eagerly under the evening star
Mother and child in the twilight
wait
Into the battle the trooper speeds
But somewhere out from the far-off
lands
An echo drifts where a soft voice
pleads
And the tender pressure of little
hands;
A mothers lullaby from the night
And call to the Great White God
in prayer
That one will come from the far-off
fight
To those who wait in the darkness
there.

respondent who made the charges

RESULT OF DOG.

RESULT OF DOG.
Bristol, Sept 15.-The dead and
mutilated bodies of Capt. James G.
Haun and Capt. William Walker, su-
pervisor of bridges and buildings and
pump inspector, respectively, of the
Virginia & Southwestern railroad,
were found this morning near the
track of the main line five miles east
of Bluff City, at the end of McClellan's s
trestle.
Capts. Haun and Walker left here
on motor car at o'clock last night
for an inspection tour of a division
Of the road. The body of a dog near
by indicated that the accident was the
result of a collision with the animal
The bodies were found this morning
by w. j. Mehaffey and his report was
the first intimation that such a fatal
ity had occurred.
Both men were old and efficient en-
ployes of the road and their death is
lamented by many friends and ac-
quaintances.
Capt. Haun was As years old. His
home was in Persia, Hawkins county.
He leaves a wife and several children.
Capt. Walker was 35 years of age and
lived with his mother.
All indications pointed to the fact
that death was instantaneous.
