Tillman's Ear Attuned.

urgent and continued solicitation of
vast multitude OF friends. How
can he fail to respond to popular
ciamor that he allow his name to he

scope Under such circumstances
1t is quite the natural thing that he
should sacrifice his personal inter-
ests and enter the lists, fully
equipped with noisome trumpet and
sharpened lance.
In the late eighties BENJAMIN
Ryan Tillman. of Trenton, S. c.,
heard such pleasing music in the
good old Palmetto State. Having
heard, it was not for him to oues-
ton the call to duty; like all other
astute politicians and public SER
wants, he acted; and he permitted
me people OF his State to elect him
governor. In those days he earned
the title. "Pitchfork Ben" indeed
ne earned this Characterization
many times over, for the redoubta-
Die Edgefield farmer fought bis ene-
mics with unabated fury. From the
governors chair to the senatorial
toga was but short step and in
that great legislative body he has
remained continuously for more
than two decades.
Meanwhile the passing OF the
years has left deep impress upon
the senior South Carolina senator
much OF the fiery ardor with which
he was wont to champion causes
that he favored has disappeared
Perhaps enfeebled health was a no.
tent influence in transforming him
INTO ''spaasionate thinker. Ar
any rate Senator Tillman is a much
bigger and broader man than who,
ne went to Washington twenty
years ago. Petty and acrimonious
IDEAS have been displaced by level
headed and constructive Views To
day Ben Tillman has strongor
hold upon the affections-and votes
or south Carolinians than at anv
previous time in his career. Manv
or his former enemies now sunnort
him vigorously.
IL Is now said upon high authority
that Senator Tillman will not retire
from political life soon, although q
had frequently been reported that
ne would. He will be a candidate IN
succeed himself during the present
year. IL appears certain. And manv
south Carolinians will assert with
equal certainty that he will succeed
himself. That seems to be an easv
ieat Tor Tillman now. albeit I'm tho
good old days he had to fight everv

| 1t was always dark enough in the
little back office in winter for the hard
ware dealer to have lamp burning. So
he did not notice the snow furry that
had taken Sunrise Cove in its arms
until he CHANGED to walk out to the
front OF the store for needed exercise.

He opened the store door. There was

was damp and packed quickly under

errand that had taken the boy away
from the store.

The reverberating crash that had
startled Chef Gormley had startled Jo-
seph Stagg as well.
MY goodness !" gasped the hard
ware dealer, and he started instantly
away from the store, bareheaded as he
was, without locking the door behind
him-something he had never done be-
fore, since he had established himself
in business on the main street of Sun
rise Cove.
Just why he ran he could scarcely
have explained. OF course, the chill

Yet, why had Chef not returned?
He quickened his pace. He was run
ning-slipping and sliding over the wet
snow-when he turned into the street
on which his store boy and his wild
owed mother lived.
Mrs. Gormley saw him coming from
the windows of the tiny front room.

house, head down, and belligerent.

If you want TO prove how pretty and

Something Carolyn May Wishes to

Carolyn Mays heart was filed with
! trouble.
This was the result of her first talk
with the old sailor. Not from him, nor
from anybody else, did Carolyn May
get any direct information that the
sailor had been aboard the Dunraven
on her fatal voyage. But his story
awoke in the child's breast doubts and
longings, uncertainties and desires that
mad lain dormant for many weeks.
Uncle Joe and Aunty Rose loved her
and were kind to her. But that feel
ing of emptiness" that had at first so
troubled Carolyn May was returning.
She began to droop. Keen-eyed
Aunty Rose discovered this physical
change very quickly.
"She's just like droopy chicken"
declared the good woman. land, good
ness knows, l have seen enough of

SO, as stimulant and preventive
of ''droopiness," Aunty Rose prescribed
DOneSel tea, pleHty Oh III.
Three times day Carolyn May was
dosed with boneset tea. How long the
child's stomach would have endured
under this treatment will never be
known. Carolyn May got no better,
that was sure; but one day something
happened.
Winter had moved on in it's usual
frosty and snowy way. Carolyn May
had kept up all her interests-after
fashion.
Benjamin Hardy had gone to Adams
camp to work. 1t seemed he could use
a peevy. or canthook, pretty well, hav-
Ing done something besides sailing In
his day. Tim, the hackman, worked at
logging in the winter months, too. He
usually went past the Stagg place with
a team four times each day.
There was something Carolyn May
wished to ask Benjamin Hardy, but
she did not want anybody else to know
what it was-not even Uncle Joe or
Aunty Rose. Once in the fall and be-
fore the snow came she had ridden as
far as Adams camp with Mr.. Parlow.
He had gone there for some hickory
wood.
But, now, to ride on the empty sled
going in and on top of the load of logs
coming out of the forest, Carolyn May
felt sure, would be much more exciting.
She mentioned her desire to Uncle Joe
on Friday evening.
'Well, now, if it's pleasant, l don't
see anything to forbid. Do you, Aunty
ROser' Mr. Stagg returned.
IL presume Tim will take the best of
care of her." the woman said. Maybe,
getting out more in the air will make
her look less peaked. Joseph Stagg."
The excitement of preparing to go
to the camp the next morning brought
the roses into Carolyn Mays cheeks
and made her eyes sparkle. When
Tim, the hackman, went into town
with his first load he was forewarned
by Aunty Rose that he would have
going back.
