The man addressed, next-door neigh
Dor, Robert Mason, nodded simply. He
was the owner of the house into which
Earle Pelham and his wife had just
moved. Pelham had paid q liberal rent
for the place. The unsocial manner Of
his landlord displeased him. The lat

over the low dividing fence, bowed and
turned away.
"Humph!" commented Pelham, al
most irritably. as he entered the
house.
"What is the matter. dear?" inquired
Mrs. Pelham, tracing displeasure In

"That landlord of ours. Asked him

"Oh, you misjudge him, Earle. in

which led to complete nervous break

that she wandered out among the

LUCK OF THE HORSESHOE
Popular Superstition Has Been Traced
to an English Demon Of ThIr-
teenth Century.

Why is the horseshoe considered q
sign of good luck? There is nothing
especially pretty about horses cast
OF iron shoe, and no doubt not one
horseshoe believer in million can
tell why he treasures It.
TlD origin Of the superstition can
be traced back to the thirteenth CEN
tury.
The monk Gervaise of Tilbury in-
forms US that at that time there was
kind of demon in England which
appeared as q horse rearing on its
hind legs and with sparkling eyes.
Whenever this apparition was seen It
was sign that connagration would
soon break out.
Hence, as giving q kindly warning.
this mysterious horse was regarded a.
friendly spirit, and the animal in
general was believed to be q benen-
cent mystic power.
A horse tooth carried in the pocket
prevented tooth ache; It was . sign
Of good luck to fnd . horseshoe. and
one was placed under the pillow Of Z
child to cure the collie, or nailed

this recital. IT will be more charitable
In my judgments after this"
The Pelhams had not dealt with Ma
son personally in renting the old home
OF Mrs. Mason's family. but through
an agent. After the death of the par
ents of his wife, Mr.. Mason had moved
into the old home. Now he was rent
ing it furnished and had taken up
more limited quarters in the adjoining
cottage, which he owned.
The Pelhams had Just moved in.
Mrs. Pelham was busy all day long get
ting the interior in order. Her hus-
band attended to outside matters. He
removed the screens, tidied up the gar
den and both retired that night pretty
well wearied with their unusual labor.
'The house is too large for us,
Earle" Mrs. Pelham remarked. II

observed her husband. Il heard he
was going to sell both places If he
could and leave the town. The associ-
ations of this old house, where his un-
fortunate wife was born, must be very
painful to him."
Robert Mason had given up his wife
as dead. In trying to locate her after
her escape from the sanitarium the
searchers had discovered several
clues that led them to believe that the
fugitive had wandered into the swamp
district. This was q dangerous and
interminable swamp spot, and three
days after the disappearance Of Mrs,
Mason fire had swept the greater
portion of II. There was every reason
to believe that Mrs. Mason had per
ished.
A distressing feature of her fate was
the fact that the physician in charge oi
the sanitarium had entertained great
hopes OF her eventual recovery. She
had been improving for some weeks
prior to her escape.
It was about midnight when Mr.. Pei
ham, soundly asleep, was aroused
from his slumbers by quick nudge
from his wife. Her voice was tremu
lous and agitated % she Whispered
breathlessly:

MONOPLANE'S WINGS BREAK
Aviator 6eaehey Is Killed at San Fran
cisco While Trying Sensa-
tionaI Drop.

San Francisco. ~ Lincoln Beachey,
aviator was killed while making an
exhibition flight at the Panama-Pacific
Exposition. At an altitude of about
1000 feet Beachey began sharp de-
scent, The wings of his aeroplane col
lapsed and the machine plunged into
San Francisco Bay.
Beachey was completing his second
flight of the day when the accident oc-
Cured in view of thousands of spec
tators. Having previously electrified
the crowd with a series Of aerial som
ersaults the airman sought to add an
additional thrill with one of his sen.
sational perpendicular drops
The fatal fall was attributed to the
fact that Beachey entrusted his life
for the first time in several years to a
monoplane.
On the first flight all went well ana
the aviator's familiar tricks we're in
dulged in with the exception of the
perpendicular drop. Beachey had
saved this for the climax. 1t proved
too much of a strain for the frame of
the monoplane.
The machine was at an altitude Of
about 1000 feet when Beachey shut off
the power For several thousand fees
it dropped head-on for the earth, and
then the aviator grasped his control
levers to adjust the planes for a grace
full descent.
The wings erumbled and the aero
plane, turning over and over in its
fall, plunged into San Francisco Bay,
narrowly missing vessel at the gov
eminent transport docks.
Thousands rushed to the nearby wa
ter front, but with the exception of a
few splintered fragments of the aero
plane floating on the surfaceof the
bay no signs of the wrecked machine
could be seen.

Out of State Penal
Institutions.


Many delegates were here from all
sections of the state at the opening
session of the first convention of the
Tennessee Conference of Charities ana
Corrections. Sheriffs, superintendent
of county farms, secretaries of organ
lied charities and many others inter
ested in welfare work were in attend
ance.
When the state board of control is
organized the lash now being used in
the penal institutions of Tennessee
will go out.
The honor system that was adopted
some years ago in federal prisons will
be put into use in Tennessee.
Gov. Rye Speaks.
Mr.. Riechman said charitable organ
izations are needed in every city of
any size, and that in the larger cities
they are an imperative necessity They
constitute a social service agency, he
said, and are responsible for much of
the improvement that has been brought
about among the poorer classes of the
country.
Gov. Tom C. Rye welcomed the state
delegates in a speech in which he
pledged the cooperation of state Off
Gals in doing what is within their pow
er to improve present conditions
among the classes subject to the juris-
diction of charitable and penal institu
tons.
