she hesitated. she saw Trask stop and
tenderly relieve the weary Nell Of
her baby's weight. He fondled ane

Igrandfatherly foolishness. Gloria
turned away from the policeman.
She followed at little distance,
Wondering what to do. The best thing

The Trasks climbed the stairs Of the
elevated. Gloria went up after them.
She took the next car on the same
train. 1t seemed that they would ride
on forever. Far uptown they got out
Gloria got out. She trailed them at
a greater distance now because the
streets were sparsely populated. The
street sloped sharply down to the
river. Moored to the wharves where
a number Of huge, cumbrous barges.
To one of these the Trasks clambered.
They went down into 1t through o

down and clung to the weeping Stas.
Gloria could not understand. She
said, But 1 should think you would
be glad to have your wife sent back"
mo, no." Casimir sobbed. Poor
people who are going to die are sent
away from the hospital so they will
not die there"
Gloria was furious. She proposed
TO investigate the hospitals and turn
out The fiends in charge. Meanwhile
she insisted on going to Casimirs
home and taking Casimir with her.
She paused only to telephone Doctor
Royce to meet her there. He was diff
acult TO understand as a man, but as a
doctor he was ideal. SO Gloria dashed
away with Casimlr and Stas. while
Hortensia and Pierpont held up their
hands in despair of her
When Glorias chauffeur and foot
man heard the address she gave them
they thought they had misunderstood.
She repeated 1t in most positive tones.
They raised their eyebrows in q way
that insinuated, "What next?"
Condolences do happen now and
then In real life-not quite so often or
so gracefully as in fiction, and yet
once in a while. In fact, condolences
make life what it is. And so it CHANGED
that the murderer Of Dick Freneau
whom Gloria had followed from the
night court had found q hiding place
In the same block where Casimir
lived.
Gloria recognized the region as soon
as her limousine turned into 1t. She
recognized the saloon and dance hall
where she had found and lost her
man. But she did not recognize the
murderers daughter in the crowd that
gathered about the unusual limousine
when it drew up along the garbage
cans.
Nell Trask was looking for her faith
er, and she paused to see the fine lady
descending from the palace car. In
Nells arms was the child of Richard
Freneau, a beautiful creature like its
father Gloria, hurrying through the
crowd, could not help pauslng TO al
mire the baby and to tweak the little
finger it held up. There for q moment
the two women paused with Dick
Freneaus child between them; and
neither dreamed that the other had
ever heard of him. Gloria passed on
into the tenement and Nell went to
seek her father.
When Gloria was led up and up a
gloomy staircase to the one dismal,
barren room which Casimir and his
wife and their child had had to call
home she felt that she had no right to
complain Of any woes that had befal-
len her.
The sick mother was outstretched
on an old bed by a dark window. A
neighbours wife, who introduced her
self as Mrs. Slattery, thank you kind
ly," was sitting by her. Caslmir ran
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1916-09-14

to his wife, and gasping with terror
at her appearance, dropped on his
knees. She embraced him with long
white arms so gaunt that they fright
ened Gloria. Stas ran to the other
side Of the bed and clambered up.
His mother turned, stared at him, and
only realized after a long look that
he was hers. Then she gathered him
to her poor bosom with a sob of pitt
full rapture.
Mrs. Slattery rubbed off a chair with
her apron and invited Gloria to rest
herself, but Gloria went to Casimir's
wife. The wretched woman clutched
her hands and held them to her cheek,
while Stas and Casimir both explained
to her who Gloria was. They told her
what miracles Gloria had performed
and they plainly hoped for another,
but Gloria was filled with dread that
money would be useless here. She
promised glibly, but her heart felt
helpless.
Doctor Royce came at last and she
had some hope that he might redeem
the life Of the victim of life. He made
his examination and spoke cheerfully
enough, but Gloria was sure from his
tone that he was lying, too. She led
him out into the hall to question him.
He shook his head gloomily. Gloria
protested.
"But surely there must be some way
to help her"
mot in this cavern" Doctor Royce
Insisted. "Of course If she were in
the country somewhere-in the air I'M
der the sky-but what chance has she
Of that2"
That was so easy that Gloria
laughed aloud. "Oh, if that is all, I'll
furnish the air and the sky. I'll take
them all up to our country place at
once. You get them ready. I'll go
tell my father that we are expecting
guests"
But what will he say to-"
"What does it matter what he saysW
said Gloria as she ran back into the
dingy hall to scatter good news like
flowers. She ordered Royce to attend
to the details Of transportation and
hurried away to inform her father that
she had invited three strangers to his
country estate. Gloria's feet skipped
down the stairway and she was hum
ming as she stepped into the limousine
and told the footman, 1.-THE Office"
The car started and was checked al
most at once by a tangle of trucks.
Gloria, looking about impatiently,
caught sight Of Nell Trask and her
father just leaving the opposite tene-
ment. She recognized the old man.
She was dumfounded. AS she gazed,
they were lost in the crowd. She saw
that the car could not be turned
around. Every moment was precious.
Impulse told her not to lose this pre-
cious chance. She obeyed impulse.
Without pauslng to inform the chauf-
feur, Gloria opened the door, dropped
out, and ran after the Trasks. She
picked them up again after while.
She saw a policeman. She resolved to
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1916-09-14


TO the barge. There was no policeman
in sight anywhere. The men lettering
about the barges did not appeal to
Gloria as desirable Samaritans to ask
for help.
Another of Gloria's impulses stirred
her feet almost against her will. She
ran along the wharf, crossed q plank
to the Trask barge, and went to the
cabin hatchway. She heard voices Of
anger coming up. The girl was up
braiding her father for deserving her
and accusing him of further crime
She was crying Historically.
'You killed him. He is dead and
you killed him."
The cid man denied the charge with
frenzy. He laughed at 1t, swore that
he was innocent The girl was al
ready persuaded and this so enraged
Gloria that she darted down the steps
and cried out at Trask:
"You did kill him. / saw YOU"

Tho Black Mans Burden.

The late Booker T. Washington used
to tell this story: He said In one of
the black counties of southern Missis-
sippl meeting was held in the city
hall at the county seat for the purpose
of organizing q movement to encour-
age the emigration from the North Of
desirable skilled labor. As one of the
promoters of the plan was leaving the
building after the gathering had ad-
journed, he was halted by an aged
darby of his acquaintance.
"Kunnel," inquired the old man,
"whut you-all been dom in thar to-
night?"

AS 70 SCHOLARSHIP.

The age Of athletics in schools and
colleges may be the living present, but
he school and the college as an ath-
.etic training camp, without scholar
ship acquired through actual applica-
ion will be passing away soon if the
strokes that are being made by able
educators the country over are kept

DR.. Thomas S. Baker head master
IF Tome School in Maryland, writes
Of the spread of the athletic tendency
and calls attention to the dangers in
me following:

share of a boys time and interest than

part in the thoughts of boys.

WATSON vs.. WILSON.

Two of the weekly Johnnies who
,eally and in truth caused Hugh Dor
;ey's election and made over Georgia
generally in The primary have suggest
I'd in recent effusions that Tom Wat
son might give President Wilson a
run for his money if he were to an
aounce for president.
Listen at this coupia twins:
If Tom Watson runs for president
nc will give Wilson a run for his mon
~ in Georgia.
Watson could not do the state more
good in any other way than to run for
President. If he shouldn't carry the
state he would at least put it in the
doubtful column, and the doubtful
states are the only ones that get any
hing from the rnment.-Rochelle
New Era.
Watson is not going to run Tor Pres
dent this year; but we believe that
should he run it would put Georgia
N the doubtful column. The South
will never receive any consideration
1t the hand of either the Democrats
II the Republicans so long as we let
sentiment and prejudice control US in
the cast OF our ballots. If Georgia
we're a doubtful state, our farmers
who lose their crops from the floods
would have received something other
han few buckwheat seed.-La-
grange Graphic.
These two Johnnies ought to remem
Der how well Watson succeeded in his
fort to prevent the Dorsey state con
ention from endorsing President Will
son. Whether Hugh wanted it or
lidn't want it, the convention en-
lcrsed, plainly, in language that
ought to be easily understood. If the
convention stood for anything as the
representative of Georgia democracy,
Il makes no difference from what rank
came the delegates, hoodlum or high
brow, at least in one place there was
ample opportunity for Judging as to
whether Watson might give President
Wilson a run for his money.
These same two Johnnies have
some other thinks coming to them. If
'-the mill keeps on grinding they-@re
soing to find out the difference be-
ween law-abidng citizenship and rule
W mob law Time will shatter their
dol.
If Watson ever controls the inteili-
sent manhood suffrage in Georgia or
anywhere else it will be the most col
'ossal accident of the age. Let these
Iohnnies remember that even their
present hard blowing is little better
han an accident.

AMERICUS WORKING HARD
FOR BIG FAIR NEXT YEAR

Americas, Oct. 2O.-Despite the fact
that the Third District Agricultural
Fair, to be held in. Americas this
month, was postponed until 1917, the
officials and stockholders are hard at
work planning for the event for next
year.
Five buildings have been erected on
the fair grounds, which are the cam
pus OF the Third District A. an NJ. col

has been declared that at Rochelle,
Seville, Arab, Vienna and other
nearby points the farmers got more
for their cotton than in Cordele.
But an honest investigation has
proven the charge is false one and
in every case where the facts could be
had, Cordele has to its credit the pay
ing of a higher price for cotton than
my of the surrounding buying points.
One farmer relates an instance where
he started on the same day with his
ne;ghbor to market. Each had load
ef cotton. The neighbor turned in at
The smaller buying point with his and
the farmer who gave the facts came
N to Cordele. The neighbor who
topped got 1914 cents while the lot
5rought to Cordele sold the same Day
fav for 16 cents Both of them be
eyed they had an equal average in
annie. Both sold for the cash. They
wed nothing, but the man who dis
csed Of his for IS IA should nave
zen given the advantage of a home
Merchants offer, for the said home
lcrchant had sold the farmer almost
II his years supplies and could well
ford to make the price little bet
ar. The price prevailing, neyerthe-
oss in this case, was threefourths Of
cent less than the price obtained On
,e same cotton on the same day in
ordele.
The Investigation was carried fur
Ter. The fullest light on the subject
9yealed that many of the buyers get
ng cotton at the nearby towns Sc
lred it because they ran large ac-
cunts with the growers. In rare
ases the supply merchants have Civ
a small margin above the Cordele
,arket Every case investigated re-
called that the buyer was making
cod collection on account in the price
aid for the cotton and therefore could
ford the margin.
The Cordele cotton buyer makes it
cash transaction and stands the
arehouse charges. The supply mer-
liant in the small town near Cordele
kes out the warehouse charges aN
axes the farmer stand these. This
ference is in itself one-eighth of a
Mt pound In rare cases a farmer
OILS himself into believing he has
siten one-eighth more for his cotton,
nen in reality he has exactly what
, would get on the Cordele market.
But no Cordele cotton buyer ought

1t is. not our assumption that it is

to supply farmers of the commun-
and then take cotton in pay at a
light shade above the normal market.

'.e charge that Cordele does not give
