FORTUNE BEckoNs

Edith's brother, Edgar Flowerton,
was one Of those happy-go-lucky crea-
lures who. having no grudge against
life. radiate friendiiness and cheer as
a comfortable pussycat gives OF purs.
Edgar had supreme confidence in him
self. He took failures with the non
chalance of a juggler who drops
ball or two just to show you the diff
Guilty of his feat and the ultimate
triumph Of his skill.
He seemed to think everybody was
or ought to be interested in his work,
Just as they would be In a new In
vention Of Edison's. Had any stranger
on the street walked up to Flowerton
and said, II know you; you're the
young chap who has thought out that
instantaneous waterheater! want
the honor of helping YOU 10 S Success.
Take this million dollars and do with
It as you pleased" Edgar would have
accepted the aid without surprise or
any particular sense of obligation. He
would have smiled his appreciation
and entertained the benefactor with
his own money, but with such charm
that the man would have failed after
ward to recall whether his debtor had
promised to repay or not
Ned had not been at the Ferrol
home a week before all Arcadia was
more or less under the spell of his
handsome person, his gay manner and
the air Of success he managed to
throw about him.
Only John Ferrol regarded his deb
OMAR brother.in-law with unimpassion-
ed friendliness. Ferrol had painstak-
ingly examined Ned's invention and
was a good deal surprised at the boys
ingenious work He believed there
was something practical there, and
something profitable II certain details
could be worked out, the model COM
pleted. the patents acquired. He must
keep Ned steadily at work, that was
the main thing.
The continuance was for small houses
and claimed vast improvement over
any heater yet devised. Soon the
Blakes and the Fenns and other neigh
bors Of the Ferrols were interested In
IT, And all the women Of all ages
were interested in Ned himself. There
was no mistaking that.
Edith, womanlike was proud of her
goodlooking brother. She forgave Lii
Blake for past offenses great and
small as soon as Lii began to rave
over Edgar, and promptly invited her
and her debutante niece for luncheon.
When Martha Fem told Edith that
Ned Flowerton had the most charming
manners and delightful personality she
had ever seen, Edith's heart warmed
more to her than ever. She told every
body that she had brought him up"
though as a matter of fact she was
but six years his senior and had not

WHITE FOLKS FRIENDLY.

We have been much pleased to
notice the attitude of the white peo-
pie as shown by the expressions Of
the daily press and that of the Police
Department in this city with refer
ence TO tho brutal murder of the
late James G. Bowman, who was
murdered at tho branch store Of the
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company
on the corner of Harrison and Leigh
streets.
Colored people have theoretically
co-operated with the authorities III
attempting to bring the murderer to
justice. We hope that every man,
woman and child will exert them
selves to bring due punishment to
the burglar. Such a man is q men
ace to society. 1t is white man
today. 1t may be a colored man
tomorrow.
Hunt him down with the same de-
termination as that exercised in
exterminating q reptile. When this
spirit prevails, then better condi-
ton Of affairs will be brought about
for both races.
Enquiries in the neighborhood,
where the murder occurred, which
neighborhood is distinctively colored,
brings to light the fact that the MUIR
dered man was natures gentleman"
kindly in disposition and lovable in
all those qualities which go to make
up the model man. Why this man
should have sought out a person Of
his type can only be accounted for
from the fact that he was innately
coward and sought only the harm
less for the purpose Of destruction.
Punish the guilty man, but be sure
the man punished Is guilty. We
sympathize with tho family of the
deceased and hope that in some way
and somehow, some atonement may
be made for this crushing wrong
inflicted upon innocent ones.
AS for the deceased, he Is in q
better land, where sickness, sorrow,
pain and death are felt and feared
no more" Peace to his ashes; rest
to his soul.
