ARREST NEGRO THIEVES.

Arthur Burgess and his wife, Leath-
er Burgess. were arrested Monday af-
ternoon by Policemen Owens and
Ward on suspicion Of being undesir-
able characters and a search o. their
premises revealed big stock of goods
which had evidently been stolen by
the two negroes. There were over
coats. suits of clothing. shoes. Dress
es and numerous other articles, some
OF which have been identified. while
others are still In possession of the
police awaiting Identification. Much
OF the goods had been stolen in Bish-
opville. while other articles were iden.
tiled by Mr.. E. T. McCollum of Nc
Collum Bros. store. Articles from
shaw's. stafford's. slessenger's and
the Heath-Morrow Company of Bish-
opville were identified by men from
those stores who came here today to
look at the stun.
The negroes were arrested in M.
Gren's store and their house on Gr;er
street was visited this morning and
the articles recovered. A third party
said to belong to the gang managed to
make his escape this morning.
The negroes were tried this morn
Ing by Recorder Hardy on four sep
arate charges Of petty larceny, the
charges being made by McCollum
Bros. on the Identification of various
articles from their store. and a SEN
tence Of $25 or 80 days on each
charge was given each defendant in
each case.
Other cases disposed Of In court
were:
Reynolds Johnson. public cursing,
$40 bond forfeited.
Charlie Curtis, violation Of speed
ordinance on motorcycle. $40 bond
forfeited.
Arthur Burgess. the negro who
was tried yesterday and sentenced on
four charges Of petty larceny. was up
again In the police court today on
more charges, one for petty larceny
and the other for receiving stolen
goods. The charges were made on
property which was identified. He
was given sentence Of $25 or 80 days
on each charge. In addition to these
cases suspended sentence had been
loft over the negro on the charge of
disorderly conduct and carrying
razor which was also put into execu-
ton. This gives Burgess 21O days
to serve on the gang, while his wife,
Leathea Burgess. stays in the county
Jail for 12O days. Will Hayes, the
other negro alleged to have been con-
nected with the stealing made his es-
cape and the police are on the look
out for him. Chief Sumter totals up
around $3.50 worth Of goods which
were recovered, while, of course,
there are great many things which
nave not and probably will never be
recovered. At present there are still
number Of articles of clothing in
possession of the police which have
not been identified.
Johnnie Wilson. petty larceny. was
given sentence of SIS or 80 days.

He began to count his money by the
light cast into his room from the
lamp on the opposite side Of the road.
Fifteen pounds and few shillings!
Feverishly he gathered together his
things, few cheap shirts and collars
and his brush. He wanted a piece Of
brown paper. There was little bit
behind the washstand. He stopped
down to get It. When he got up he
found himself face to face with Cecil.
Her eyes were fixed on the little
heap OF clothes on the bed.

Until her confession to him he had
never thought of love In connection

He was sincerely fond Of her: he
was grateful to her, but that was all.
His little room, with its untidy,
crumpled bed, its cheap cracked little
glass. and dusty, discolored curtains
offended him. He walked, after hav-

wake up Cecil, up and down the small
space. Through the little window,
open to its fullest extent. the hot
night air came in.
A woman was singing some horri-
BILE music-hall song in a hoarse voice
down the street, and a man wheeling
barrow was crying his wares.
It was all sordid, soiled, endlessly
antagonistic to his every sense.
A sudden strong repulsion shook

away until he reached the cool fields

Robert, in his bedroom that night
gave himself furiously to thought. He
had become engaged to girl who
loved him. and who had for no re.

who was. moreover, the one being In
all the world whom he really knew.
1t was obviously impossible-he had

For one thing his little stock OF money
was diminishing. Yet he had asked
a girl to marry him-he, man with

position, without even a memory.

tesque.
