The period during which The En-.
uuirer may be had at club rates, SITE
per annum, is rapidly drawing to
close.
Some fertilizer has been hauled GU,
of Yorkville this week; but the move.
ment does not appear to have reached
very extensive proportions yet AS 6
matter Of fact, there Is no a tt
look for very large sales.
The name signed to the advertise
ment In the last issue Of The Enqui.

of Parrot. Mr.. Parish advises, how.
ever, that he found the owner Of the
pig regardless Of the error. 1t was
Mr.. Parish also who gave us the In.
formation about the robins.

Here is the first bid for a joint de-
bate between MI. McLaurin and Mr.
Lee of Darlington, or Mr.. Carlisle of
Spartanburg, or little Mr.. Evans OF
Marlboro, to be held at Filbert next
summer. The subject to be political
or personal as outlined by the gentle
men last named in their attacks on
the floor Of the senate, with a free
hand for McDuff. We suggest that
the members Of the attacking party
have one hour each at the opening,
and that Mr.. McLaurin have two
hours in reply, if so much be neces-
sary. But anyhow, Filbert has put
in the first bid.

1t is a downright pity that this Mr.
Lee of Darlington, who would work
the Pollock-Jennings racket on Mr.
McLaurin, was not in the senate las
fall when the warehouse bill was
passed. What MI. McLaurin would
have done for the gentleman would
have been worth the price of admis'
sion and then some.

Laurin in all its hideousness, and even
admitted that he was not after the
warehouse quite so much as he was
after the commissioner. After Mr.
Lee and others had fired off their tor
pedoes and dropped their aerial bombs
the senate voted on the proposed
amendment. The commissioner and
the warehouse were upheld q to 10, a
matter of two to one and then some.
Among those who voted with the ma
jority are several who are known to
oppose Senator McLaurin and the
warehouse; but who at this critical
ju~ncture evidently thought it best to
show due consideration of their con-
StituentS.

Love IN A FOG
BY FRANK M. eICkNELL.

Judson Maxwell always gave some
thing to the blind match seller at the
corner-for luck, he said. And Barney
OKeefe, that husky, CHEEKY beggar.
always wished his honor good and
plenty, and then a power more of 1t
atoI of that Maxwell was lucky in
being we'll born. in having his share
of good looks, and in being able to
spare from his prosperous business
enough leisure to follow Prudence
Hale across the Atlantic. But he had
| not yet been lucky enough to per-
suade her to be his wife.
In the person of Albert Pierce, Max
well had formidable rival. AS a
fair-minded man Maxwell would have
freely admitted that Pierce was quite
| as desirable a match for Prudence as
he himself was; but as the young
| lady had steadily refrained from
showing a preference for either sutton
/ the two were now in London for the
purpose of further urging their re-
spective suits. All efforts at a viva
voce declaration having been adroitly
baffled by the still noncommittal fair
one, they had finally come to the fol-
lowing gentlemans agreement:
Each was to lay his heart. hand and
fortune at Prudence's feet by letter
and the two sealed proposals were to
be mailed in the same box at the same
time, namely, nine o'clock p. m. Mon.
day, November rs.
Now as a matter of fact Miss Pru
dence was honestly in doubt as to
whether she cared more for Maxwell
than she did for Pierce. She rather
thought indeed, she felt reasonably
sure-she would eventually find heI
lifes happiness in becoming the wife
of one of them, but which? Twice
thrice, she re-read each letter and
strove heroically with her indecison-
quite in vain. BY and by, however
as the fog without thickened, there
came to her-curiously enough-tht
glimmering Of an idea.
The Hales had taken apartments IL
Sackvlle street. Maxwell was stay
ing at big new hostelry in Northum
berland avenue and Pierce at ia
nous old one in Brook street. 1t thu:
happened that the routes the two
young men would have to traverse il
reaching her from their hotels were
about equally long and also abou
equally devious. In pursuance of he
idea-an idea which might or nigh
not lead to satisfactory results-sh
called up Maxwell on the telephone.
81 have your letter, Jud, she toll
him, yours and Bert's. Listen care
fully. You will please leave you

precisely, and start for this house OF
foot. Walk the entire distance.

Bert. You are to find your way TO me
through the fog. and the one who ar
rives first-well, l won't promise any
thing now, but leave that for this
afternoon-if you don't both get lost
in the fog"
The fog had thickened to pea
soup" consistency, and vehicular traf-
fic was practically at standstill when
at 1927 p. M, the Hale's parlor maid
brought Prudence a card, and an
nounced:
"A gentleman to see you, miss"
Prudence drew a long breath and
her heart began to beat with rather
more than normal rapidity as she took
the card and glanced at its inscrip-
ton. Was she glad or sorry to read
the name of Judson Maxwell? Strange
though it may seem, she was not yet
sure Of herself. She was conscious,
however, of wondering that he had
been able to get to her so soon,
through a fog of almost midnight
darkness, and also Of dimly fancying
that his greater love had served him
as guide.
"Prudence!" He appeared at the
door evidently in a fever of suspense.
then. seeing her alone, he came for
ward eagerly and took her hands in
his. Prudence" he repeated, Il am
first?"
| "Yes," she replied, you are first; "
and now. her unruly heart certainly
was humping at scandalous rate
; Out Of the dark fog light seemed sud
denly to have broken.
"Are you-aren't you-glad?" he
asked breathlessly.
T-I-tbink-perhaps-I-am," she
answered rather haltingly.
Aren't you sure?" he demanded re
proachfully.
Gently she withdrew her hands from
his clasp, and raising them, put them
about his neck, then shyly drew his
face down toward her own, now Grim
soning with a color that appeared tC
him of divine loveliness. She didn't
say she was sure, but-she didn't need
to.
Pierce came about two hours later
he had gone badly astray in the fog
but he arrived in time to offer his
congratulations, and to add, handsome
ly, that as the best man had won the
bride he hoped to be best man al
the wedding.

MARJoRIE'S VACATION
BY LOUISE OLIVER.

Marjorie looked up at the blue sky
between the housetors and sighed
ecstatically, oh, for the country"
Il must start right away to save
for my vacation. Two months with
out lunch and walking home in the
evening will help. Besides, think
I'm safe now in asking old Mr.. Dodge
for raise of S. month"
She got up and went to the door Of
the office marked Private"
A masculine voice called Come in"
to her knock
place at the desk was young man
in outing clothes Marjorie decided
he must be son of her employer.
There was a resemblance-yet diff
ference. In the gray eyes was an ex-
preston that made Marjorie smile in
voluntarily.
81 thought Mr. Dodge, ST., was here"
said Marjorie simply, turning to go.
well, if you knew me better, l am
sure you wouldn't waste time talking
to the old man." The twinkle in his
eyes deepened.
Marjorie flushed, yet she couldn't
help another smile.
"If l thought you had the family
pocketbook, l might have a prefer
ence," she returned. I'm after
money!"
What! You, too! Poor pops! So
am T."
"I-perhaps had better not wait.
l think I'll come again"
q say, Miss Brown" he pleaded,
don't go. I'll slip out myself and leave
you a clear track. Good afternoon. l
wish you luck And before Marjorie
could stop him he was gone.
But Dodge, Sr., had eaten lobster
for his lunch and it was troubling
him. Marjorie met an emphatic re-
fusal. However, the following morn
ing folded typewriter letter on her
desk brought an excited flush to her
cheeks. Silas Dodge repented Of his
hastiness and would give her not five
but ten dollars a month in addition to
her regular salary.
Two months passed. 1t was late Sep.
TENDER. Marjorie. by marshaling
every cent she could spare. counted
enough for her trip. Everything was
ready but a few unfinished letters at
the office. 1t was Saturday afternoon
half holiday. The outer office was
empty when she went in, but she heard
voices in the private Office beyond
What do you mean by giving Stew

in Miss Browns envelope?"
81 mean" spoke up the voice o.
Slas Dodge, Jr., that you underpay
your employees. The girl honestly

But why should you undertake to

more to others"

more money. dad. have been work
ing. l earned that money myself.
Moreover, 1 have splendid chance in
the country to demonstrate my knowl-
edge Of scientific farming. / leave to-
day"
Marjorie rose. She took 500 out of
her purse and knocked at the office
door. 1t was only the matter Of an in
slant or two for her to lay the money
on the desk before the two astonished
men and go out.
She went home and unpacked her
trunk, counted the little money she
had left and did some hard thinking.
The two weeks ahead were hers. Why
should she stay in a baking hot city
when the whole green world stretched
wide around her? She was a good
walker and she could pay for simple
meals at farmhouses on her way.
Therefore, dressed in a plain linen
suit and carrying a very light grip,
Marjorie started forth on her travels.
One afternoon, as it was warm, she
halted under big oak tree near a cool
little stream. For while she read
and munched at a stick of candy she
had bought at a country store. But
she got very drowsy, and, making a
pillow of moss, she was soon asleep.
When she opened her eyes she
smelled tobacco smoke. 1t came from
the other side of her tree. Moreover,
smart little fire was burning near
her and she smelled bacon frying. She
shifted enviously.
Il hope you feel better" said voice
around the tree. 1t was oddly familiar
! Then she knew.
At first she frowned; then she
smiled.
Il do, thank you"
That's good" came the voice. will
you have some supper?"
IF you'll only come around and lei
i me see my host"
Silas Dodge. Jr., came around.
Then you don't bear any grudge?
For being kind to me? Mo-"
You're a good sport Miss Brown
| knew you'd understand"
Thank you. But isn't the bacol
:, burning?" anXiously.
He jumped for the pan. mo, jus
right Do you like bacon?"
Love it.
Silas junior sighed. 81 wish 1 wer'

from now If I'm very good and wor
hard, do you think you could eve
