down and saw the draggled flower
thrust through the twist of grass. "Oh,
pup of wonders." he exclaimed.
Where did you get that rose?"
Chum sat up and wagged his tail, for
his masters tone, instead of ridicule,
held a dawning delight. Perhaps the
thing had not been intended as a dis
grace, after all!
With the first sight of the decora-
of a splotch of vivid red against the
belted gray-blue of a gown. He
grinned appreciatively. And l warned
her." he chuckled. Told her not to be
afraid!" He busted the blossom pains
takingly with his handkerchief and
held it to his fSce-a live brilliant
thing, breathing mdsk-odors of the
mid-moon of paradise.
A long time he sat, while the dog
dozed and yawned on the shiny cush-
ion beside him. OF sudden Chum sat
up and barked in earnest.
Turning his head, his master saw ap-
preaching a dilapidated hack with
side lanterns like great goggles and
decrepit and palsied curtains. 1t was
drawn by lean mustard-tinted mule,
and on it's front sat colored man of
uncertain age, whose hunched Verte-
brae and outward-crooked arms gave
him a curious expression of replete
and Dubious inquiry. Abreast OF the
car he removed a moth-eaten cap.
Evenin, suh," he said,-"evenin',
eyenin'"
'Howdy do" returned the other
amiably.

CHAPTER VII.
Uncle JEFFERSON.

A red rose, while ever a thing Of
beauty, is not invariably joy for
ever The white bulldog, as he
plodded along the sunny highway, was
sunk in depression. Being trammeled
by the limitations of canine horizon,
he could not understand the whims OF
Adorable Ones met by the way, who
seemed so glad to see him that they
threw both arms about him, and then
tied to his neck irksome colored weeds
that prickled and scratched and would
not be dislodged. So it was chas-
tened and shamed Chum who at length
wriggled stealthiiy into the seat OF the
stranded automobile beside his master
and thrust dirty pink nose into his
palm.
John Valiant lifted his hand to
stroke the shapely head, then drew it
back with an exclamation. A thorn
had pricked his thumb. He looked

gone mad and smothered In 81 So
emulation of matted roots and debris
of rotting foliage, and presently, the
bulldog at his heels, found himself
in the rear of the house.
"Minc!" he said aloud with rueful
pride. And for general rundown
ness, it's up to the advertisement"
He looked musingly at the piteous
wreck and ruin, his gaze sweeping
down across the barred fields and I'M
kempt forest. "Minei" he repeated.
All that, 1 suppose, for it has the
same earmarks Of neglect Between
those cultivated stretches it looks like
wedge of Sahara gone astray." His
gaze returned to the house. Yet what
a place it must have been in its time!"
He went slowly back to where his con-
ductor sat on the lichened horse
block.
Yves heah," called Uncle Jefferson
cheerfully 'Whut we gwinter do
mex, sub? Reck'n All better go ovah
ter Miss Dandridge's place fer er
crowbah. Lawd!" he added, "ef he
ain got de key! Whut yo think oh
dat now?"
John Valiant was looking closely at
the big key; for there were words,
which he had not noted before en-
graved in the massive flange. Friends
all hours" He smiled. The sentiment
sent a warm current of pleasure to
his finger-tips. Here was the very
text of hospitality!
A Lilliputian spider-web was
stretched over the preempted keyhole,
and ne fetched a grass-stem and poked
out it's tiny gray-striped denizen be-
fore he inserted the key in the rusted
lock. He turned it with a curious
sense of timidity All the strength Of
his fingers was necessary before the
massive door swung open and the lev
cling sun sent it's late red rays into
the gloomy interior.
He stood in a spacious hail. his nos
trils filed with curious but not I'M
pleasant aromatic odor with which the
place was strongly impregnated. The
hall ran the full length of the build
ing, and in its center a wide, balus-
traded double staircase led to upper
darkness. The floor, where his foot
prints had disturbed the even gray
film of dust, was Of fine close par
quetry and had been generously
strewn everywhere with mica-like
powder. He stopped and took up
pinch in his fingers, noting that it
gave forth the curious spicy scent.
Dim paintings in furnished frames
hung on the walls. From a niche on
the break of the stairway looked down
the face Of tall Dutch clock, and on
one side protruded a huge bullying
something draped with a yellowed
linen sheet. From its shape he
guessed this to be an elk's head. Dust,
undisturbed, lay thickly on everything,
ghostly floating cobwebs crawled
across his face, and bat fitted out
of a fireplace and vanished squeak
ing over his head With Uncle JEFF
ferson's help he opened the rear doors
and windows, knocked up the rusted
belts of the shutters and flung them
wide.
But for the dust and cobwebs and
the strange odor, mingled with the
faint musty smell that pervades sum

less interior, the former owner of the
house might have deserted it a week
ago. On wall-rack lay two walking
sticks and a gold-mounted hunting
crop, and on a great carved chest
below it had been flung an opened
book bound in fooled leather. John
Valiant picked this up curiously 1t

and there passages were marked with
penciled lines-some light and femi-

though two had been reading it to-
gether, noting their individual prefer
ences
He laid it back musingly, and open
ing a door, entered the large room it
disclosed This had been the dining
room. At one end stood a crystal
knObbed mahogany sideboard, holding
glass candlesticks in the shape OF
Ionic columns-above it a quaint por-
trait of a lady in hoops and love-
curls-and at the other end was

B. F. CASSEL HAPPENS
TO BAD ACCIDENT

Mr.. D. +. Cassels. of Chokee Dis.
trict, happened to a very peculiar
accident last week, badly burning
his left hand.
Mr.. Cassels knuckles had become
sore and he tied a cloth around
them and saturated with turpen-
tine. Forgetting for the moment,
he struck a match to light his pipe
and in a minute his hand was in a
blaze, and was burned almost to a
crisp. However, at the present
writing, his hand is improving rap
idly.
While talking to the Journal re-
preventative, Mr.. Cassels said he
desired to commend the article
published two weeks ago from the
pen of S. R. Blanton, our Wash
ington correspondent, and hoped
that the articles would continue.
Among other things Mr.. Cassels
said; Il hope that the new Board
of County Commissioners viii re-
commend the keeping of the new
hog cholera serum on hand. The
delay in getting in from the gov
eminent, on account of the dis
lance, causes the loss Of a large
number Of hogs that could be saved
if the Board would make arrange
ments to keep it in Leesburg.

CORN CLUB PRIZES
OFFERED FOR 1915
Scholarships and Cash Given by II. 6.
Hastings in Georgia and
Other States

Atlanta, Ga-( Especial. Corn club
prizes for Southern boys In Georgia
and nine other corn growing states OF
this section, have been renewed for
1915 by H, G. Hastings, general chair
man OF the Georgia corn show com
mittee and chairman of the Agricul-
Gural Committee Of the Atlanta Cham
Der of Commerce. The prizes amount
IN all to $780, In cash and scholar
ships, and will be awarded under the
direction of the government corn club
agents In each state.
In Georgia there are three prizes:
A one-year course with all expenses
paid, amounting to $3.50, in the State
College Of Agriculture at Athens;
second cash prize of $50, and a third
cash prize of $40 Last year the Geor-
gia scholarship prize was won by Cor
don Lee Hasty, of Walker county, with
14S bushels and As pounds to an acre,
His success was a noteworthy exam
pie OF perseverance, as 1t was the
third year he had tried for the prize.
In Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, North Carolina and
South Carolina, Mr.. Hastings offers
800 In each state, either In cash or
scholarships according to local ar.
rangement.
The great educational value and
constructive force of the corn club
contests, In addition to the marvels
they are accomplishing in increased
corn production, are emphasized in an
interview given out by Mr.. Hastings
IN connection with his announcement
Of prizes.
"The interest now being taken in
corn production, by the federal gov
ernment, by state officials, by leading
organizations and individuals" says
Mr.. Hastings, is, in my opinion, the
greatest constructive force now oper
ative in agricultural affairs In Amer
lea. For too long the tendency of edu'
cation In the rural schools was to
draw boys away from the farm. but
the corn clubs are now combining
with true agricultural education to in
naence the boys to form new ideas
and new ideals of farm life. The corn
club work Is growing In value and i'm
poTtance with each successive year. "

THIS BILL WOULD GIVE
DICKINSON NEW JUDGE

If the judicial apportionment as
arranged in the senate bill which
has been passed by that body ana
reduces the number of districts from
thirty-six to twenty-four, should be
passed by the house, Dickinson
county would have new district
court Judge, Dallas Grover of Sa-
lima, now presiding over the district
courts of Ottawa, Saline, Ellsworth
and Lincoln counties. Since Judge
King is a resident of Marion coun-
ty. and that county under the new
apportionment would be In the
eleventh district, along with Lyons
Coffey and Chase counties, the
question of the judgeship would be
between Judge w. G. Harris of EN-
poria and Judge King.
The senate bill provides that when
a conflict between the judges is
found, the Judge having the longest
time yet to serve would take pre-
cedence; should their terms be
equal, the older man would have the
place.
However, as a determined oppo-
sition to the bill has developed IN
the house, the bill may get no fur
Their than its present status, a ia
vorable vote in the senate.
