John Sharp Williams stepped out of
the senate chamber in response to the
card of Bob Gates, who is a Washing
ton correspondent of distinguished APP
pearance and much political sapience.
Bob asked him number of ques-
tons and then, in parting, he asked:
by the way, Senator, have you got
a good cigar about you?"-putting the
request under the head of unfinished
business.

Obstacle to Enjoyment.

Many of US are plenty old enough to
remember the big open fireplace, the
enormous amount of wood it required
to keep it going, how the cord sticks
had to be dug out of the ice and snow,
how it was struggle to get the big
back log in place, how every morning
the fire had to be started over again,
unless you were cunning enough In
woodcraft to hide some Goals deep
enough under the ashes to keep them
until morning. how In the early hours
of the bleak days the rooms Of the
house were so cold it required great
courage or the insistent commands
of the head Of the house to get up
to make that FIRE, But this is not
all. 1t viii be remembered also that
in real weather the fire from the open
side of the room baked you on one
side while the other side was frozen,
and all the day long the frost on the
windows maintained the beauty of the
formation into pictured mountains and
valleys undisturbed by the heat from
the burning logs.

Besides being on duty as an officer
of militia. Callomb was a Kentuckian
interested in the problems of his com.

he knew that his cousin, who occupied
the executive mansion at Frankfort,
would be interested in his suggestions.
The governor had asked him t. report
his impressions, and he meant to, af-

So, emarting under his impotency,

But before he reached the court

cupola bell would not clang out its
summons to veniremen and witnesses,
he found fresh fuel for his wrath.
He was not popular man with
these clansmen, though involuntarily

scowl in his eyes that they did not

UNHAPPY FATE OF DRoNES
Few Indeed Are Their Hours of En-
joyment and Sad the End That
Awaits Them All.

Drones are usually looked upon as
do any work, but are fed by the work
er bees on the best the hive can af-
ford, and this in a season of the year
when the workers are busiest for "a
hours a day with the gathering and
curing of honey. Why do the bees
treat them with such respect in the
busy harvest time? The reason is
that the bees are raising a number of
young queens at this time, for the fu-
ture generation. The queen is des-
tined to be the mother of all the bees
reared in the hive for the next year
or two. She is the only one in the
hive that can lay eggs, and she will
some day lay them at a rate of from
two to four thousand a day. The
drones are the male bees raised at the
same time with the queens. From
their midst the virgin queen will some
day select her mate. Without them
she could not attain maternity, held
by the bees in greatest honor. For
this reason they are treated royalty
until the wedding trip of the queen.
When she returns a widow. leaving
her drone-mate Casually the most per-
sistent of all suitors) dead in the
field, the bees make short work Of the
remaining drones. They seize them
by the neck and throw them out Of
the hive bodily to die of hunger in
the midst of plenty.-Francls Jaeger.

too, of the scene that had been enacted

Callomb spent the night at the house
of Spicer South. He met and talked
with a number of the kinsmen, and, if
he read in the eyes of some of them a
smoldering and unforgiving remem-
brance of his unkept pledge, at least
they depressed all expression of cen

With Spicer South and Samson the
captain talked long into the night. He

said, seriously. "It was more than ]

CHAPTER XIV.

The Honorable Abe Smithers was
not the regular Judge of the circuit
which numbered Hixon among its
county seats. The elected incumbent
was i'll, and Smithers had been named
as his protein. successor. Callomb
climbed to the second story of the
frame bank building and pounded loud
Iy on a door, which bore the boldly
typed shingle:
"Asa Smithero, Attorney-at-Law."
The temporary Judge admitted a
visitor in uniform, whose countenance
WIS stormy with indignant protest.
The Judge himself was placid and smil.
Ing. The lawyer, who was for the time
being exalted to the bench, hoped to
ascend it more permanently by the
votes of the Holman faction, since
only HOLMAN votes were counted. He
was young man Of powerful physique
with face ruggedly strong and hon
est.
Callomb stood for a moment inside
the door and when he spoke it was to
demand crisply:
Well what are you going to do
about it,"
About what, captain?" inquired the
other, mildly.

The judge shook his head, and his
visage was sternly thoughtful and

he had just come from conference
with the HOLMAN leaders. He did not
explain that the Venire he had drawn
from the jury drum had borne a singu
Iarly solid Holman complexion.
