And the city dwener dreams of forests, moors and lonely

loafng in the deHs, where Natur does her smoothest work, and
man would come back wearing bells, to do his stunt as shipping
clerk. One month of camping in the wild the office chairs all left
behind, and would then be reconcled to his demnition, beastly
grind. One month Of trapping grizzly bears. of catching Goldfish in
the sea, of chasing bobcats to their lairs, and man would do the

HIGH TRIBUTE PAID
SENATOR W. ]. HARRIS
Magazine Says Georeia's Junior Sena-
tor Is Remarkable Type Of New
est Crop of National Statesmen.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept 4.-.United Stat
es Senator William j. Harris, Geor-
gia's junior Senator, is the subject of
d special article by John Temple
Graves, the we'll known Georgia
author, in Hearsts Magazine this
month, along with Senators Under
wood, Fletcher and Watson The arti-
Gle says:
zone of the very newest of the
new crop of statesmen who have
come to Washington with the 66th
Senate, William J. Harris, of Geor-
gia.
And Senator Harris is as new in
type and method as he is in the
modest and gentle face which looks
at the Vice-President from the outer
edge of the Democratic benches. He
is one of the remarkable type of new
public servants in great legislative
body whose service is steady and tir-
less but never blatant. 1t is probable
that lin twelve years and Senatorial
Service, William ]. Harris, will never
essay great Senatorial argument, or
appeal to the galleries and the Con
gressional Record with an eloquent
oration: But it is safe to wager that
whenever his Senatorial career is
done there will be found to his credit
more things recured for Georgia men
and Georgia towns and Georgia coun-
ties-for Georgia river and Georgia
harbors than most Senators win IN
twice that time.
The new Senator was started by
IrCsldent Wilson in the beginning of
hio administration as the Drectro
of the Census Here he attracted the
President to those qualities of judge
ment, fidelity and management which
Wilson loves and the Executive
called him higher to the Federal
Trade Commission of which he be-
came Chief.
Senator Harris is of a remarkable
family whose members win in public
life unfailingly behind the gentlest
and most unobletlusive manners. His
brother. General Peter Harris, who
succeeded as Adjutant General of
the United States, as one of the
softest manned soldiers who ever
signed an order, and yet you will
search long before you can find a
complaint against his administration
in the records. His elder brother.
j. c., who is perhaps the ablest man
of his race, has been content for two
decades to be an admirable super
intendent of Public Schools in Geor-
gia."

One Of the big features of the work

only the side wall, which contained
one open window, and was one-room
affair, low and fiat-roofed, built Of
logs. It's outward appearance was
peaceful enough, and the swift beat of
my pulse quieted as I took rapid sur
vey of the surroundings.
"Sam," I commanded, "you are to

protest, "that will be the better way

left them there together, Sans eyes

A dozen steps brought me within view

had been smashed in and hung dam

now with a pistol gripped in my hand,

Across the puncheon threshold. his

"Wait where you are, Rene!" I ex-
claimed, waving her back. There Is
a man lying here beyond the log.
Come, Sam; we will see what he looks
like" !
He was slow in following, hanging
back as I approached closer to the
motionless form, and / could hear the
muttering of his lips. Unquestionably
the man was dead; Of this 1 was as
sured before I even knelt beside him.
He lay on his face in litter of dead
leaves, and almost the first thing 1
noticed was the death wound back OF
his ear, where q large-caliber bullet
had pierced the brain. His exposed
hands proved him q negro, and it was
with q feeling Of unusual repugnance
that 1 touched his body, turning 1t
over sufficiently to see the face. All

repress q cry Of startled surprise as
stared down into the upturned
face-the dead man evidently MUIR

gazing about blindly into the dim
woods, my mind for the instant dGzed
by the Importance Of this discovery.
What could it mean? How could 1T
have happened? BY what means had
he reached this spot in advance of US,
and at whose hand had he fallen? He
could have been there only for one
