their only child Kenneth, aged eigh-
teen months. No hand can pen, no
tongue can speak the sorrow that the
going out Of this little life has caused
but when Jesus reached down his arms
of love and lifted little Kenneth from
this dark world where for the past
few weeks he had suffered so much,
and carried him safely through the
open portals of glory we could only
say: Thy VIII be done" The little
body was laid to rest Monday after
noon in the Zion cemetery. May God
bless the heart broken parents and
help them to realize that death is only
dream and that their dear little
flower that was budded on earth only
to bloom in Heaven is now safe in
the arms of Jesus, awaiting the time
when loved ones shall meet him at
that sweet home where goedby is
never spoken and where death does
not come.

Randolph Manners, the young owner. whose family have lived in the uousc for years, is elected and takts tenn porary residence in the training quar- ters of the estate There the girl meets him and learns of her father s method. She is attracted by inc dignified attitude of the young Sout'.- erner and determines to help him out. By disguising herself in jockey attire and riding in the most spectacular race ever witnessed in the country side, she achieves her purpose. The picture is said to have many humo1- ous toucaes of Southern life, intro. ducting of company of pickaninnies and their mammies. The race track episode has been so staged that i, surpasses in thrilling suspense that of any similar action recently screen. ed.
