A PENNSYLVANIA READER

Dear Sir: l have been a reader
after you for about three years; if
we both live and keep our health and
reason I expect to read your paper
and other writings much longer.
| had thought the Frank case was
settled, Gas it should be,) but I see
from our daily papers that the Cor
nellites expect to present 800 petit
tions, signed by Cornell graduates,
to the Governor of Georgia, asking
leniency for Frank.
intended writing you some time
ago telling you how we played Popery
in this State, with one exception.
We elected good, conscientious,
Christian Governor, M. G. Brum,
baugh, but Lieutenant Governor
his name is McClain. Now look out
for another Sulzer affair, as I am
personally acquainted with Brum-
baugh, and do not think he can be
handled by the machine that used
him to white wash the Republican
ticket of the State.
AS I have possibly taken up more
of your valuable time than 1 should,
I will close, hoping God will spare
you to see the noble work started
fully completed.
Yours to a finish

The heavy SHOWS and excellent sled

that with roads as smooth as a dance

wheeled vehicles the loads they do
now on hobs. But there is a certain
loss due to bad roads that is made

with which transportation is made
when the shedding is good. says South

You sometimes wonder about tho

A man was to meet his wife at her
Office at one o'clock to take luncheon
with her. He was 20 minutes late. She
had gone out.
He sat down and waited. At 1880
she arrived.
What are you doing here?" she
asked.

Didn't you know l wouldn't come
back after I'd given you up and gone
out?"
But you did come back, didn't you?

WAR TERMS NOT uNDERs rood
"ForIorn Hope" for instance, IN: Not
the Meaning With Which II
10 Credited.

In the course Of every wsr one
hears great deal about ":orlorn
hopes" The term Is one of the most
misused in the vocabulary of var. 1t
is commonly misunderstood to mean
lost troop"-that is detached
troop" The word hope" in the
phrase is not an English but Dutch
word. hoop" meaning literally
heap" and secondarily body Of
troops. The word "forlorn" represents
the Dutch 'verloren"-lost. A "ver-
loren hoop" was a detached body Of
troops thrown out in front of the main
line of battle to find the enemy
and engage them first. Thin was the
regular sixteenth and seventeenth
century practice, and though it was
one of the more dangerous kinds Of
service it was not desperate or. in
the English sense, forlorn. Nowadays
much the same work is dene by the
detached bodies of cavalry which are
thrown out before the main line to find
the enemy.
"Capitulation" is another term Of
war. which is very loosely used. 1t
does not mean surrender. but sur
render on terms; in fact, it means the
terms. not the surrender. 1t is from
the Latin "capitulum" or heading"
tfrom which is derived our word
"chapter"). and a capitulaNon is .
formal treaty Of surrender drawn up
under a series of headings or chap.
tiers. embodying the terms on each
point.

CHAPTER xl.l-continued.

Dear Samson: The war is on again.
Tamarack Spicer killed Jim Asberry.
End the Holimans have killed Tama-

may get we'll. There is nobody to lead

SALLY"
Slowly Samson South came to his
heet. His Voice was in the dead-level
pitch which Wnfred had once before
heard. His eyes we're as clear and
bard as transparent flint.
I'm sorry to be of trouble, George"
he said, quietly. But you must get
me to New York at once-by motor.
! must take train south tonight"
mo bad news, l hope" suggested
tescott
For an instant Samson forgot hts
four years OF veneer. The century of
prenatal barbarism broke out fiercely.
He was seeing things far away-and
soesetting things near by. His eyes
e@ased and his fingers twitched.
Hell, no!" he exclaimed, 1.-THE
vars on. and my hands are freed!"
For an instant, as no one spoke, he
stood breathing heavily, then, wheel.

streets Of Hixon as strange. And
after leaving Hixon. there was a mis-.
sion to be performed at Jesse Purvy's
store. As he thought Of that mission
a grim CLINT came to his pupils.
All Journeys end. and as Samson
passed through the tawdry cars of the
local train near Hixon he saw several
faces which he recognized. but they
either eyed him in inexpensive silence
or gave him the greeting of the "fur.
r;ner."
AS Samson crossed the toll bridge
to the town proper he passed two
brown.shirted militiamen, lounging on
the rail of the middle span. They
Erinned at him. and, recognising the
outsider from his clothes, one of them
commented:
Amt this the hell of a town."

systematically. as he went on.
Still unrecognized. he hired a. horse
at the livery stable, and for two hours
rode in silence. save for the easy
creaking Of his stirrup feathers and
the soft thud of hoofs.
The silence soothed him. The brood.
Ing hills lulled his spirit as a grooming
song lulls fretful child. Mile after
mile unrolled forgotten vistas. Some.
thing deep in himself murmured:
"Home!"
1t was late afternoon when he saw
ahead Of him the orchard of Purvy's
place, and read on the store wall. a
little more weather stained, but other
wise unchanged:
Jesse Purvy, General Merchandise. u
The porch of the store was empty
and as Samson flung himself from his
saddle there was no one to greet him
This was surprising, since, ordinarily
two or three of Purvy's personal
guardsmen loafed at the front to watch
the road. Just now the guard should
logically be doubled. Samson still
wore his eastern clothes-for he want
ed to go through that door unknown
As Samson South he could not cross
its threshold either way. But when
he stepped up on; to the rough, porch

age expense 70 American farmers ,o-
year is approximately $500, OOO. 0c
And every dollar of this sum comes
from the farmers pocket. for he is
the one great producer who cannot
add the haulage expense to his wares,
for the prices he gets are OH de-
livered basis.
Il believe that II every farmer would
take pencil and paper and figure the
amount in tons Of the produce and
stock he markets in year. multiply
1t by the number of miles he must haul
1t to market, multiply the total by 25.
which is about the average haul
ing cost ton mile, and then
consider that he could save nearly
half Of this amount every year IL
he had concrete or other hard
roads all the way to his market, he
would become an earnest good roads
worker.
"And this actual dollars and cents
saving doesn't take into consideration
the many advantages of good roads
in bringing neighbors closer together
in making 1t easier and pleasanter to
get to church, school, entertainments,
etc.
with wider interest in better roads

flooring no one challenged his advance
The yard and orchard were quiet from
their front fence to the grisly stock
ade at the rear, and, wondering al
these things. the young man stood TO,
a moment looking about at the after
noon peace before he announced him
self.
Yet Samson had not come to the
stronghold of his enemy for the pur
pose of assassination. There had been
another object in his mind-an utterly
mad idea. it is true, yet so bold Of
conception that it held a ghost Of
promise. He had meant to 20 into
Jesse Purvy's store and chat artlessly
like some inquisitive "furriner." He
would ask questions which by their
very impertinenoe might be forgiven
on the score of strangers folly. But,
most Of all, he wanted to drop the cas-.
ual information, which he should as.
sumo to have heard on the train, that
Samson South was returning, and to
mark. on the assassin leader. the effect
of. the news. In his new code it was
necessary to give at least the rattler's
warning before he struck. and he
meant to strike. II he were recog.
nized. well-he shrugged his shoulders.
But as he stood on the outside. wip.
ing the Precipitation from his forehead,
for the ride had been warm, he heard
voices within. They were loud and
angry voices. It occurred to him that
by remaining where he was he might
gain more information than by hur.
sying in.
"1've done been your executioner for
twenty years." complained a voice,
which Samson ut once recognized az

were martial.
The deepest sorrow and mortifica.
ton he had ever known was that which
came to him when Tamarack Spicer.
his prisoner Of war and a man who had
been surrendered on the strength of
his personal guaranty. had been as
sassinated before his eyes. In some
fashion. he must make amends. He
realized, too, and 1t ranked deeply,
that his men we're not being genuinely

ments of the Hollmans. and he had
seen enough to distrust the Hollmans.
