paroxysm Of passion; don't you even
speak her name! II you do, I'll kill
you'll"
So fierce was her leap that he fell
back a step in sheer surprise. Then
he laughed loudly. "Why, ye little
spittin' wile-cat!" he grinned.
He leaned suddenly, gripped her
wrist and covering her mouth tightly
with his palm, dragged her behind a
clump Of dogwood bushes. A heavy
step was coming along the wood-path.
He held her motionless and breathless
in this cruel grip till the pedestrian
had passed. It was Major Bristow, his
spruce white hat on the back of his
head, his unsullied waistcoat dappled
with the leaf-shadows. He stepped
out briskly toward Damory court,
swinging his stick, all unconscious of
the fierce scrutiny bent on him from
behind the dogwoods.
Greet King did not withdraw his
hand till the steps had died in the dis
lance. When he did, he clenched his
fist and shook it in the air. There
he goes!" he said with bitter hatred.
EYER noble friend that sent me up
for six years t. break my heart on
tn rock-pile! oh, he's a top.notcher,
he is! But he's got Greet King to
reckon with yit!" He looked at her
balefully and shook her.
"Look-a-yere," he said in a kissing
voice. "Ye remember me. I'm a bad
one ter fool with. Yer nav foun' that
out. I reckon. Now yen promise me
yell tell nobody who we've seen. I'm
only tramp; dye hear?" He shook
her roughly.
Rickeys fingers and teeth were
clenched hard and she said no word.
He shook her again viciously, the
blood pouring into his SCARED face.
Eye snivelin' brat, vel" he snarled.
It'll show yer!" He began to drag
her after him through the bushes. A
few yards and they were on the brink
of the headlong ugly chasm of Lovers
Leap. She cast one desperate look
about her and shut her eyes. Catching
her about the waist he leaned over
and held her out in mid-air, as If che
had been kitten. Eye amt seen me,
hev yer? Promise. Grover ye go. Ye
won't look so pretty when ye're
layin' down there on them rocks!"
The child's face was paper-white
and she had begun to tremble like a
leaf, but her eyes remained closed.
"One-two-" he counted deliber-
ately.
Her eyes opened. She turned one
shuddering glance below, then her
resolution broke. She clutched his
arm and broke into wild supplications.
Il promise, promised" she cried. ooh.
don't let go! I promise!"
He set her on the solid ground and
released her, looking at her with a
sneer1ng laugh. "Now we'll see eff va
belong here or up ter Hell's-Half.
Acre." he said. Zine folks keeps their
promises, I've heerd tell"
Hickey looked at him a moment
shaking; then she burst into a passion
of eobs and with her face averted ran
from him like a deer through the
bushes.

Commission Proclaims April IA a Holiday
COMMISSION PROCLAIMS HOLIDAY ON APRIL IA, WHEN BASEBALL SEASON OPENS

The board of commissioners has pro- claimed Tuesday April II. holiday and calls upon all good citizens to turn out to Redwood Field at o'clock in the after noon of said day to "cheer the Barons to victory over the presumptuous Gulls from Mobile" The Chamber ot Commerce. the Rotary club. the Board of Trade. the Business Mems league and other civic or ganizations will unite in concerted ef- forts to break all southern attendance records on the opening day of the base ball season of 1914 and the commission is helping along the good work by making April 14 holiday throughout the city.
 In the proclamation it Is set forth that 1t Is the duty and obligation of every loyal citizen of the Magic City 10 attend the opening game and 1t says that those who work for unappreciative employers are authorized to attend the obseauies of grandmothers or any other fictitious rel atiye they see fit. The proclamation fol- lows:
 "Whereas. in the immortal document, the Declaration of Independence it Is set forth that the pursuit of happiness is an inalienable right of man. and.
 .Whereas, in any representative Amer ican city during the heated term the greatest degree of happiness is linked in the minds of most people with our great national game; and,
 Whereas, for several years the city of Birmingham has been kept we'll to the front on the baseball map by Manager Molesworth and his Coal Barons; and,
 Whereas, the various commercial or ganizations in the city have decided to boost the attendance on opening day and bring back to Birmingham the trophy for the largest crowd in the league, and have set at not less than 15,000 of our citizens.
 Therefore. we, the city commissioners, by the powers in us vested and in ac- cordance with resolution duly adopted, 1o hereby proclaim Tuesday, April Il. to be a holiday, and 1t Is the solemn duty and obligation of 'every loyal citizen of Br- mingham, including the fair sex, to hie themselves to Rickwood park at the hour of in the afternoon of Tuesday. April h.. and by their presence, not only aid in winning the trophy, but cheer the Barons on to victory over the presumptuous Gulls from Mobile; and,
