ANDY MILLER.
DESPERATE
By ESTHER VANDEVEER

b. A girl about sixteen years old was
walking along a road when she saw
a man coming toward her. The mo-
ment she caught sight of the figure
and a certain swing there was in the
walk she started. He was some dis.
lance from her, and she had time to
pull herself together before they met.
Can you tell me- she asked. chow

You're goin' the wrong way fol-
Roslin. It's a couple of miles back
of you"
"Oh" exclaimed the girl. 1--WE been
walking away from it all the time
I'm goin' in that direction. I'll show
you the way"
Thank you"
AS they walked along they chatted
upon ordinary topics. Presently the
man said:
Amt you afraid to be walkin' along
this road all alone by yOurselfY"
why should l be afraid?'
"Oh, there's lots O. rough characters
in these parts. Some of 'em might
harm you"
I've heard that Andy Miller has
been seen about here lately"

He's the nan that killed Cyrus

money. But he didn't get it after all.
MI. Borden kept his money In the
chimney, and Miller didn't look for It
there"
At this the man showed interest.
How do you know all about this?'
I'm a friend Of Maggie Borden, Mr..
Borden's daughter. She told me all
about It."

the girl didn't see his smile. Surely
she was the ~Quintessence Of innocence.
They walked ON together till they came
to a ~crossrosd a short distance from
ROslin. when the man turned OF, leav-
Ing the girl to pursue her way alone.
"Goodby," she said. Much obliged
to you for showing me the way"
The murder Of Cyrus Borden was
of the most cold blooded that had
ever been known In those parts. He
had drawn $1,000 from the bank with
which to pay OF a mortgage. The
same night some one broke into his
house and demanded at the point of a
pistol the money he had drawn from
the bank. Borden refused and at
tempted to defend himself. He was
killed by the robber, who then made
a search for the money. He failed t o
find it and departed empty handed.
Mrs. Borden was away at the time
with her two younger children, Mag
gle being at home with her father.

ened by the robber searching for the
money. Opening her door, she heard

lights. and he fed.
Maggie ran to her fathers room and
found him lying dead on the floor.
Maggie's description of the murderer

perado. Andy Miller. who had terror

been seen lear Roslin. Justice at the
time was administered In that region
by members of Il vigilance committee,
They searched for Miller, but he was
too smart for them. He would appear
when they were not looking for him,
but would be conspicuously absent
when they hoped to find him.
The night after the meeting of the
man and the girl on the road the man
about 10 O'Clock walked past the house
where the murder had been commit
ted. Not a light was to be seen in it.
Seeing something white ON the front
door, he drew near it and saw that it
was a bit of paper on which was writ

Going around to the real of the
house, he tried a window sash and
found it unlocked. He had only to
raise It to step into the window and

DEWEY MILLS.


July Z, 1917, surrounded by his be
loved father and brother, attentive
nurses and physicians, Dewey Mills
quietly breathed his last at ST
Joseph Hospital, Memphis, Tenn
His remains were brought home that
day and on Sunday were conveyed
to White Zion, where the funeral
services and burial took place al
II 80 o'clock, in the presence of ma
ny sorrowing relatives and friends
who had gathered with sympathy fol
the bereaved ones and beautiful
flowers to adorn his last resting
place.
dewey" as he was fondly called
by his relatives and friends, resided
five miles west of Tupelo, and it was
indeed with aching hearts that each
and every one, who knew him
heard the sad news of his untimely
death.
Though only 10 years of age he
had many friends wherever he went
and was always known as a generous
hearted noble boy, ever a friend to
those in sorrow o trouble and a col.
league of those in joy and gladness
On June 16, thinking it best fol-
him to seek a new field of industry,
Dewey left for Tennessee, but after
a two weeks stay he came home, Jul
ly /, saying there was no place like
home, Mama and Papa, and that he
had come home to stay. His family
and friends were exceedingly glad
to have him home again but on Tues
day evening he became i'll and on
Thursday, after bidding fond "good-
byes" to his family, relatives and
friends, accompanied by his brok-
en-hearted father and attending ply
sician, he was rushed to the hospital
where he died from the effects Of
this and a previous operation.
Oh! tits sad to think of him being
snatched away while Y young, but
let US remember thatseeGod doeth all
things WE'LL and He had q purpose
in taking Dewey from this sinful
world. It may be a warning to US
that "In the midst of life is death"
and now is the time for us to pre-
pare for a better world by laying up
our treasurers in Heaven and not
upon EARTH May you boys, who were
his companions and who are now at
the threshold of war take heed Of
this warning and be prepared to meet
your God, let the combat be what it
may and let all of US place these
lines deeply within our heart.
