He explored the new city, and found
it hideous, especially in the early
spring, before the leaves of the shade
trees were out.
One of his Sunday walks, that
spring, he made into sour pilgrimage.
1t was a misty morning of belated
snow slush, and suited him to per-
lection of miserableness, as he stood
before the great dripping department
store which now occupied the big plot
of ground where once had stood both
the ANDERSON hotel and the ANDERSON
opera house. From there he drifted to
the old Anderson block" but this was
only a shadow. The old structure had
not been replaced, but cavernous en-
tryway for trucks had been torn in It's
front, and upon the cornice, where the
ola separate metal letters had spelt
ANDERSON block" there was a long
bill board sign: 'Doogan Storage"
To spare himself, he went out Ma
tional avenue and saw the piles of
slush-covered wreckage where the
Mansion and his mothers house
had been, and where the Majors ill.,
fated five new" houses had stood; for
these were down, too, to make room
for the great tenement already shaped
in amending lines of foundation.
He turned away from the devastated
site thinking bitterly that the only
ANDERSON mark still left upon the
town was the name of the boulevard
ANDERSON boulevard. But he had reck-
oned without the city council of the
new order, and by an unpleasant COIN
cidence, while the thought was still
IN his mind, his eyes fell upon metal
oblong sign upon the lamp-post at the
corner. There were two of these little
signs upon the lamp-post, at an obtuse
angle to each other, one to give pass
ersby the name of National avenue,
the other to acquaint them with Am
berson boulevard But the one upon
which should have been stenciled
ANDERSON boulevard" exhibited the
words "Tenth street."
George stared at it hard. Then he
walked quickly along the boulevard to
the next corner and looked at the little
sign there. '"Tenth street."
1t had begun to rain, but George
stood unheeding, staring at the little

what it committed him.
He began to realize it now, as he
wandered about the dismantled house ;
he was far from sure that he was
willing to live in ''three-room apart

self in the "kitchenette') and dinner

the first time, now that the change
was imminent, George began to devel-

What he was in for; and they appalled,

vcrged upon the sheerly unbearab1e,
and that after all there were some
things left that he just couldn't stand.

tonight was still Isabels room would
be cut into new shapes by new walls
and floors and ceilings; yet the room
would always live, for it could not die
out Of Georges memory. 1t would live
as long as he did, and ii would always
be murmurous with a tragic, wistful
whispering.
And if space itself can be haunted,
as memory is haunted, then some time,
when the space that was Isabels room
came to be made into the small bed
rooms and mathematics already de-
signed as its destiny, that space might
well be haunted and the new occupants
come to feel that some seemingly
causeless depression hung about it--a
wrath of the passion that filled it
throughout the last night that George
Minafer spent there.
Whatever remnants of the old high
handed arrogance were still within
him, he did penance for his deepest
sin that highland it may be that to

sign. I'D theml' he said finally, and,
turning up his coat collar, plodded
back through the sOggy streets toward
"home"
The utilitarian impudence of the city
authorities put a thought into his mind.
A week earlier he had happened to
stroll into the large parlor of the
apartment house, finding it empty, and
on the comfortable he noticed large,
red-bound, gilt-edged book, newly
printed, bearing the title: "a Civic
History" and beneath the title, the
rubric, Biographies Of the 500 Most
Prominent Citizens and Families in
the History of the City," He had
glanced at it absently, merely noticing
the title and subtitle, and wandered
out of the room, thinking of other
things and feeling no curiosity about
the book. But he had thought of 1t
several times since with faint, vague
uneasiness; and now when he entered
the lobby he walked directly into the
pa.lor where he had seen the book.
The room was empty, as 1t always was
on Sunday mornings, and the flamboy-
ant volume was still upon the table
evidently fixture as sort of local
Almanach de Gotha, or Burke, for the
enlightenment of tenants and bOarders.
He turned to the index where the
names of the five hundred Most Promi-
nent Citizens and Families in the lis
tory of the City were arranged in al
phabeticaI order, and ran his finger
down the column of AS: Albeit, Abb
bott, Abrams, Adams, Adams, Adler,
Akers, Albertsmeyer. Alexander, Allen,
Ambrose. Ambuhl, Anderson, Andrews,
Appenbasch, Archer, Arszman, Ash
craft, Austin, Alvey.
Georges eyes remained for some
time fixed on the thin space between
the names "Allen" and Ambrose"
Then he closed the book quietly, and
went up to his own room, agreeing
with the elevator boy, on the way,
that it was getting to be a mighty
nasty wet and windy day outside.

After "dinner" he went upstairs,
moving his hand slowly along the
smooth walnut railing of the balus-
trade. Half way to the landing he
stopped, turned, and stood looking
down at the heavy doors masking the
black emptiness that had been the
library. Here he had stood on what
he now knew was the worst day of his
life: here he had stood when his moth
or passed through that doorway, hand
INLAND with her brother, to learn what
her son had done.
He went on more heavily, more SLOW
ly; and, more heavily and slowly still,
entered Isabel's room and shut the
door. He did not come forth again,
and babe Fanny goodnight through
the closed door when she stopped out
side it later.
"Pye put all the lights out, George,
she said. "Everything's all right"
every WELL" he called. "Good night,
Aunt Fanny"
His voice had strangled sound in
spite of him; but she seemed not to
notice it, and he heard her go to her
own room and lock herself in with
bolt and key against burglars. She
had said tie one thing she should not
have said just then: "Tm sure your
mothers watching over you, Georgia.
She had meant to be kind, but it de-
stroyed his last chance for sleep that
night. He would have slept little if
she had not said it, but since she had
said it he did not sleep at all. For he
knew that it was true-if it could be
true-that his mother, if she still lived
in spirit, would be weeping on the
other side of the wall of silence, weep

her through so that she could come

dressing table, and in a drawer of her
desk was an old picture of Eugene and
Lucy, taken together, which George
had found but had slowly closed away
again from sight, not touching it. To-
morrow everything would be gone;
and he had heard there was not long
to wait before the house itself would
be demolished. The very space which

apprenticeship of only six weeks, dur
ing which period George was to re-
ceive fifteen dollars week; after
that he would get twenty-eight. This
settled the apartment question, and
Fanny was presently established in a
greater contentment than she had
known for a long TINE.

Emptiness was there, too, and the

bare rooms; for downstairs there was

Fanny had kept "for dinner" she said,
though as she was to cook and serve
that meal herself George had his
doubts about her name for it. Upstairs,
she had retained her own furniture,
and George had been living in his
mothers room, having sent everything
from his own to the auction. IsabePs

furniture would be moved with

several old friends of hers had estab-

OTHER SPRINGS.

Just this side of the tan mile post a road turns off from the pike which though it is not the Mabelyale pike 1t generally goes by that name, it also goes to Mabelyale. Opposite where it leaves the road are several springs known as the Gamble Springs. It was once an old mill site and some of the old buildings are still standing in sight of the pike, if you will only stop and look. There are three nice small springs, which unite and flow into one large one. Being right on the road they would make an excellent place for travellers over the pike to camp. They belong to Auht Callie Gamble. an old colored woman, who is not very anxious for people to learn of their location and would not agree for them to be fixed up for campers, but I sup pose if she was approached judieious- ly by the right person arrangements could be made for their use.

AN ABANDONED OIL WELL.

I had heard of an oil well which had been put down a number of years ago on the MabelvaIe pike. As was passing the home of Jno Martin I saw a boy drawing water and noticed a large ten or twelve inch pipe or eas ing projecting above the ground be side the well so I knew I had located it. The casing is plugged with sec tion of tree and the we'll itself was eased with eight inch casing. This well was sunk twelve hundred or two thousand feet eight or ten years ago Some believe oil was found in it and others believe not.
 It was late and I fortunately caught a caS' which took me to MT. Jones' just in time for an excellent supper. Al ter supper Mrs -BeadIe, Gene Mcclure and some others came over. Little Mildred Beadle had made up her mind to ramble with me after short interview Her mother told her if she went she could not take her clohes "Well,'' said she, The will buy me some and he has got two garnet rings and I believe he will give me one, and he has got lots of wild strawberries yum, yum, yum!"

A FINE cHALYBEATE SPRING.


 At Zion Hill school house. on the new Hot Springs pike now being built, q neighborhood road turns off to the right, angling along in the same gen eral direction until it passes one of the finest springs in the county about half mile from where it leaves the pike. Then if one was so inclined an other similar road could be made through the open woods on toward Hot Springs back to the pike about anotaer half mile further on so that thirsty autoists could switch off the main road going in either direction and camp or eat their noon luncheon beside fine cha1ybeate spring. I had heard of this spring and turning off the road just beyond Jno. Turner's I asked at G. A. Smiths about it. was informed that it was about quar- ter of a mile away, but as it was filled up I could not find it without a guide. Miss Cora Smith consented to guide me to 1t provided her sister-in-laU, Mrs. Derrick, of Pine Bluff, would fchaperone her, which the latter con- sented to do. On the way out and back We passed many nice. rounded and gently sloping hills, which would make lovely building sites. The soil is not much though, being very rocky. I could not have found the spring without a guide. It comes out of a nice round hill on which there was formerly House and flowed through small channel for only a short dis tance to where it united with a good sized branch The channel was full of the ugly. Glthy Joking moss which is formed by chalybeate water, but on it's banks and around the spring were growing lovely ferns and the young lady gathered a bunch of them. There were growing near numbers of ma pie, gum. white oaks and other kinds of trees. At the spring is not only room for campers, but there is an abundance of room for large picnics. Being an old house place the grounds are as nice as city lawn. Where the spring comes out is ledge of iron ore. Returning we passed other old house sites at one of which was grow ing a tree with beautiful and sweet scented flowers on it though there were no leaves. but none of us had z ever seen the tree before, therefore T gathered some of the flowers 10 take with me to learn the trees name, not seglecting to give Miss Smith bunch 10 go with her ferns. Then I thought I ought to have some ferns to go with mine and looking to the ground say some which I gathered.
