So, first, Wallace Briefly went to
Springfield. He had secured an au-
tomobile and made a regular business
of his difficult task For three weeks
he traversed all the main thorough
fares leading out like spokes in a wheel
from his starting point. Alas! the
fashion in houses had not changed.
There were any number of one and a
half story structures, and many of them
painted yellow But the fashion in
wraps had changed. Only some an
cient dame retained possession Of that
olden badge of dignity and substan-
tiality--a Paisley shawl. Few wore
them, however They were heirlooms
relegated to obscurity, and this, the
chief clue, utterly failed to mater
ialization. =.
One day-ah, he would never for
get it'll He had arrived late Saturday
evening at a little town called Fair
view He was wearied and undecided,
almost discouraged as he awoke the
next morning. He loitered around the
hotel till about noon and then strolled
along the pretty main street of the
peaceful town, more for the sake of
exercise than with any investigatory
spirit just then.
A church ended it's services and
the attendants were dispensing as he
neared it. Farmers from distance
were driving off in wagons and anti
quated Surveys. Two ladies had just
been helped into an old-fashioned
phaeton. The weather was quite crisp
and chilly. AS the elder of the two
ladies took her place she drew out from
under the seat cushion a shawl.
A Paisley shawl And having
white center and "curlicues," and
fringel Wallace Briefly sprang into
action as if shot from gun, but the
phaeton had started up. Before he
could overtake it the rig had turned
corner and was lost to view, COM
mingled with other vehicles.
"That phaetonl" he painted, rush
ing up to the man who had helped the
ladies into the vehicle" the lady with

The man whose arm he had seized
in his fervor of urgent excitement
stared at his wild-eyed, breathless in
terlocutor in profound surprise,
"Why, yes" he spoke slowly, "Mrs.
Esmond and her daughter"
"Do-do they live in story and
half house-painted Yellow" bolted
out Wallace unanimously
"They do, one mile down the road,
where you saw them turn" was the
rejoinder, and then the informant
found himself alone, staring marvel
ingly after the erratie Wallace, who
had dashed away forthwith.

daughter, Leila, pretty as picture,

later to be overtaken, just as they were

BATTERY c. TO
WAR STRENGTH
About Fifty Men Necessary to Fill
Ranks of Local Company-Or-
ders from Headquarters.

Captain A. C. Metts, of Battery q,
Field Artillery, the local military or
ganization, received orders this morn
ing from Adjutant General Scales at
Jackson to recruit the Battery to war
strength before Registration Day,
June fifth. War strength is one hum
dred and ninety. About fifty men will
be necessary to fill the ranks to that
number.
The fact that the ranks Of Battery
c., are not quite filled up gives local
young men subject to military duty
an opportunity to enlist with home
organization instead Of awaiting con-
scription. From the reading OF the
order it appears that enlistments in
the Battery will be stopped after Reg
istration Day.
The Adjutant in closing the order
saws the Secretary Of War intimates
in instructions that the Battery viii
not be called into the Service before
August fifth.

ing out men whose handwriting is
clear and who are capable of handling
the work.
The work of registering the male
citizens of the county Of military age
is to be done in one day and must be
done right. Hence the search by the
Board for the best men to do the work.
The time will be given gratis to the
government though an appropriation
has been made to pay those serving
as registrars should any feel inclined
to present their bill.
In this county it is estimated that
about four thousand will present them.

Washington officials have estimated
that the draft will take one tenth o.
the population, which in this count,
would total approximately the abov'
number.
The attention Of those who are liv
ing away from their voting precincts
or are likely to be hindered from reg
istering by illness is called to sec
tions 81 to 81 Of the Draft Act which
tells how they must register. Regis
tration cards can be secured from tn
