SidHlcu swiftly down. TO cllmD once
in a huge spiral to It's high tower
of sky.
Perhaps 1t wondered, as its tele-
scopic eye looked down. That had
been its choicest covert. that dishev-
eled tangle where the birds held per-
petual carnival, the weasel lurked in
the underbrush and the rabbit lined
his windfali. Now the wtldness was
gone. A pergola. glistening white, now
upheld the runaway vines, making q
sickle-like path from the upper ter
race to the lake. In the barn loft the
pigeons still quarrelled over their new
cotes OF fresh pine, and under a clump
OF locust trees at a little distance from
the house, a half-dozen dolls cabins
on stills stood waiting the honey -stor-
age OF the black and gold bees.
There were new delizens, also.
These had arrived In a dozen zinc
tanks and willow hampers, to the
amaze OF a sleepy express clerk at the
railroad station: two swans now sailed
majestically over the %lily-ponds of the
K along its gravel rim and a pair
OF bronze-colored ducks waddled and
preened, and its placid surface rippled
and broke to the sluggish backs Of
goldfish and the flirting fins Of red
Japanese carp.
The house itself wore another air.
Its look Of unkemptness had largely
vanished The soft gray tone Of 81
remained. but the bleakness and for
lornness were gone; there was about
all now . warmth and genial bearing
that limited at mellowed beauty. fire

In her Shirley undressed
thoughtfully. There was between her
and her mother a fine tenuous bond
! Of sympathy and feeling as rare, per-
haps. as it was lovely. She could not
remember when the other had not
been a s~emi-invalid. and her earliest
childhood recollections were punctu-
ated with the tap Of the little cane.
TOnjght's sudden indisposition had
shocked and disturbed her; to faint
at a rush of perfume seemed to sug-
gest a growing weakness that was
alarming. Tomorrow. she told herself.
| she would send Ranston with a wagon
load Of the roses to the hospital at
Charlottesville.
She slipped on a pink shell shaded
dressing-gown OF slinky silk with !
riot OF azaleas scattered in the weave,
and then. dragging her chair before
the open window. drew aside the light
curtain and began to brush her hair.
All at once her gaze fell upon thu
floor. and she shrank backward from a
twisting thread-like thing whose bright
saff~ron-yellow glowed sharply against
the dark carpet. She saw in an in
slant. however, that It was nothing
! more dangerous than a fragment of
love-vine from the garden. which had
chung to her skirt. She picked up
the tiny mass Of tendrils and with a
slow smile tossed it over her right
shoulder through the window. III II

s.eart loves me-" She leaned from the
sill to peer down into the misty gar.
den, but could not follow its fall.
Long ago her visitor would have
reached Damory Court. She had a
vision OF him wandering, candle in
hand. through the empty echoing
rooms. looking at the ~voiceless or-
traits on the walls. thinking perhaps
OF his father. Of the fatal duel OF which
he had never known. She liked the
way he had spoken Of his father!
As she leaned. out Of the stiffness
there came to her ear q mellow sound.
It was the bell OF the courthouse in
the village. She counted the strokes
falling clearly or family as the slug.

Spartanburg. Aug. 9.-Four per-
sons were probably fatally injured late
today when touring car left the
road several miles above Landrum in
this county and rolled down a So
foot embankment to the Southern
railway track. The injured were
rushed to Tryon by automobile and
were brought to Spartanburg this
evening by train. They were placed

child out and then jumped when she
saw that the automobile was about
to turn over. They suffered slight in
juries.
/ 1t was said at the hospital tonight
that all had suffered internal injuries
and that many bones were broken.
1t is supposed that the party was
returning to Campobello after q day
spent in the mountains. The automo-
bile. which turned over, was preceded
by the machine Of ]. d. Caldwell,
president of the Campobello Oil Mill
company. The party In the first
automobile seeing that the other car
had been delayed turned back. After
driving several yards they found the
wreck.
The wrecked car was found lying
across the railway track in the deep
cut. The occupants had been knock
ed unonscious by the fall and were
lying on the track. The Southern
passenger train was due in a few min
utes. The little daughter Of ]. d.
Caldwell ran down the track several
hundred yards and tagged the train.
All Of the injured were placed on
train No. 13 and carried to Tryon,
few miles away where medical at
tention was given. They were placed
on the night train for Spartanburg.
A heavy rain had fallen and the
road was slippery. The highway fol-
lows the Southern railway track prac-
hcally all the way from Landrum to
TryOn. According to details OF the
accident reaching here the car was
being driven at slow speed. The rear
wheels slipped and In an instant the
machine fell down the embankment
to the railway tracks 80 feet away.

times.
