The world was an unsatisfactory
place at best, and if it was to be
hedged in by high walls, what pleas
ure would the little cells be?
A band of music was approaching,
and his gaze went to it with the
crowds.
Behind the music cane a great
block of marching men, and behind
them another and another, and still
another. Then Pennington under
stood. It was Labor day, and this
was the trades parade.
Under other circumstances Pen
nington's gaze would have turned
away indifferently; but there was
only the sidewalk or the street, and
of the two the street was the less
tedious. 1t was at least a moving
bore.
The first impression that came
clearly to his understanding was one
of the strong, stalwart units of the
blocks; the next, their cCntented and
even happy looks.
How happy and strong they are"
said a voice at his side, and Penning-
ton looked down, quick glow COM
ing into his face, and fading yet more
quickly. 1t was the girl who had
tinged his dreams, who had since
grown distant and somewhat scorn-
full.
'Yes, they seem strong and happy,
Esther" he answered, "in spite of be-
ing in the trades
Because of being in the trades"
she corrected swiftly, vibrant ring
In her voice that brought his eyes
again to her face. She was looking
out at the marching blocks, her gaze
steady, but with tremulousness Of
the delicate lips that somehow remind
ed him of the odd note in her voice.
Tho next day there was a runor
Of Pennington's going abroad; his
hOusekee2er had received a note to
close the house, the agent to look
after the affairs until further instruc-
tiCEs.
Down on one of the back streets, q
street unknown to Penningtcn's old
life, were many d1ngy ofnces, Meager
in appointments, but representing a
vast accretion Of labor. At one Of
them a line of raen were seeking en-
Dloyr9ent, passing in front Of keen
eyed foreman, who accepted or re-
Jected them almost without glance.
But the reflections were few. Men
were wanted for new blocks of build
ings going UP, men Of skill, Of
strength, of merely carrying capacity
ANY man who could add his strength
to the labor force and hasten the
work. s
So when a white-handed man of
confessed incapacity stepped in front
OF the foreman's desk he was looked
at askance, but finally accepted and
set to carrying brick from the side
walk to the men who were laying the

end concluded to let him remain.
Such determination promised good
work, If the man survived the break
ing in. Besides, he must be in dire
need.
Pennington had little room over
the secondhand store where he pur-
chased a coarse suit of working
clothes, but he had not brought money
to pay the room rent. He possessed
cheap silver watch, however, and
this he left as security. With his
first pay envelope he redeemed the
watch.
In his room we're cot, a chair, and
a rusty little stove propped up with
wooden blocks. Put not until the
third week did he start fire in the
stove and make disastrous Intellectual
attempts to cook his breakfast
By this time the blisters had disap-
peared under rough Jumps and ridges.
How he had lived before this no
one knew but himself, for until he re-
ceived his second pay envelope he
did not commence crossing the street
to the restaurant for noon lunch.
When he sat down for few min
utes at the noon hour he did not double
over in tremulous heap as he had
done at first, and though his face
was thinner and whittier, it's flesh was
firmer than when he first came, and
his eyes were clearer.
AS Pennington's hands acquired a
working knowledge of the materials,
and his mind began to Elore thorough

A SURPRISE SPRUNG IN

Attorneys File Demurrer Attacking
Constitutionality of Insurance Act.
Yeomans and Wilkinson, attorneys
for G.. c. Hill, J. w. Hawkins and w.
]. Jones, charged with conspiracy to
defraud the North Carolina Mutual
Assurance Society, sprung a surprise
upon the prosecution when they filed
demurrer attacking the constitu-
tionality of the insurance act under
which they were indicted. The at
torneys contend that the act is null
and void, in that it is in violation of
paragraph eight, article three, sec
tion seven, of the constitution OF
Georgia, which prohibits the pas
sage of a law that refers to more
than one subject matter and con-
tains matter different from what is
expressed in the title thereof.
Judge Worrill withheld his decis-
ion on this point and continued the
cases against the defendants until
The could look into the question that
had been raised. The judge will
render his decision this afternoon.

STRESSES THAT DISTINGUISHED
PERSONS MEASURE ACRE.

You will soon harvest your acre
of oats, and | want to impress on
you the importance of having one or
more disinterested parties to meas
ure off your acre and see that the
oats are kept separate from the 9TH
er crop. Neither of these parties
must be related to you. We cannot
take yields where they are not so
measured, and sincerely hope you
will attend to this matter. | would
like to aid you in this connection, but
you know with the other work
have to do this is impossible. l will
only have tine to see the extra large
yields The pure bred Shorthorn bull
is on hand, and you should try to be
the winner. If your oats have not
done so well do not relax your efforts,
but try all the harder on your hay,
cotton and corn. The prize will be
won on the best record made in all
four crops. Please keep record of
all crops in the way mentioned, and
there will be no occasion for dissat-
isfaction in any way. For your corn
record use the little book sent you
some time ago Get your father or
teacher to show you how to keep
the record, or l will take pleasure
in doing so when l come round your
way. l will take your picture little
later on with one or more crops and

When the case Of General Laing,
who was bound over from the may
or's court under a bond Of $500
for violating the prohibition law, was
called for trial Monday morning he
failed to answer to his name, and
neither his attorneys or the sheriff
could locate him. His Honor, Judge
Worrill, becoming impatient at the
delay of the courts business, ordered
the bond of Laing estreated at once,
and instructed Sheriff Turner to use
his every effort to locate him and
Mace him in jail in default OF bond
of $4,000 in each of two cases. The
Judge further said that in case OF
Iaing's arrest after the adjournment
of court he would call a special term
for the purpose of trying the cases
against him.
If there is one thing Judge Wor-
rill will not stand for in his court
it is the failure of alleged violators
OF the law out under BOND TO

That the young people had an at

they had married, but this proved
to be unfounded. The bridegroom

laughs at locksmiths" again proved
