CHAPTER XVIII.

Having finished some errands down
town, the next afternoon, George Am
berson Minafer was walking up Nation
al avenue on his homeward way when
he saw in the distance, coming toward
him, upon the same side of the street,
the figure of a young lady-a figure
Just under the middle height, eOmely
indeed, and to be mistaken for none
other in the world-even at two hun
bred yards. To. his sharp discontinue
his heart Immediately forced upon him
the consciousness of its acceleratiOn; a
sudden warmth about his neck made
him aware that he had turned red,
end then, departing, left him pale. For
q panicky moment he thought Of fac
ing about in actual flight; he had little
doubt that Lucy would meet him with
no token of recognition, and all at
once this probability struck him as I'M
endurable. And If she did not speak,
was 1t the proper part Of chivalry to
lift his hat and take the cut bare
headed? Or should the finer gentle
man acquiesce in the lady's desire for
nc further acquaintance. and pass her
with stony Lien and eyes constrained
forward? George was a young man
badly flustered.
AS they drew nearer George tried to
prepare himself to meet her with some

CHEERFUL. WORDS

For Many an okolona Household.
To have the pains and aches Of a
bad back removed-to be entirely free
from annoying, dangerous urinary
disorders, is enough to make any kid
ney sufferer grateful. The following
advice of one who has suffered will
prove helpful to hundreds of Okolona
readers.
Mrs. S. E. Hubbard, So Gatlin St.,
Okolona, says: Il have used Doan's
Kidney Pills several times in the past
few years and they have surely been
Of great help to me. My kidneys have
been too free in action and my back

emphasized her friendly unconcern by
waving her small hand to him cheer

hint of preoccupation, as If she had
begun to think Of the errand that
brought her down town.
Lucy remained where she was until
he was out of sight. Then she went
slowly into the drug store which had
struck George as possible source of
stimulant for himself.
"Please let me have a few drops Of
aromatic spirits of ammonia in a glass

from looking full at her, and as he
saw her thus close at hand, and COM
ing nearer, a regret that was dunn
founding took possession of him. For
the first time he had the sense of hav-
ing lost something Of overwhelming i'm
portance.
Lucy did not keep to the right,
but came straight to meet him, smil-
ing, and with her hand offered to him.
"Why-you-" he stammered as he
took it. Haven't you" What he
meant to say was: Haven't you heard?"
Haven't I whatT she asked; and he
saw that Eugene had not told her.
"Nothing!" he gasped. "May +
may turn and walk with you little
way?"
Eyes, indeed" she said cordially.
He would not have altered what had
been done: he was satisfied with all
that-satisfied that it was right and
that his own course was right. But he
began to perceive a striking inaccu-
racy in some remarks he had made to
his mother. Now when he had put
matters in such shape that even by
the REIMBURSEMENT Of his "ideals of
life" he could not have Lucy, knew
that he never could have her, and
knew that when Eugene told her the
history of yesterday he could not have
glance or word even friendly from
her-now when he must in good truth
give up all idea of Lucy" he was
amazed that he could have used such
words as mo particular sacrifice" and
believed them when he said them! She
had looked never in her life so bewitch-
ingly pretty as she did to-day; and as
he walked beside her he was sure that
she was the most exquisite thing in the
world.
"Lucy," he said huskily, II want to
tell you something. Something that
matters"
II hope it's lively something, then"
she said, and laughed. "Papa's been
so glum today he's scarcely spoken to
me. Your Uncle George ANDERSON
came to see him an hour ago and they
shut themselves up in the library, and
your uncle looked as glum as papa.
I'll be glad If you'll tell me a funny
story, George"
"Well, it may seem one to you" he
said bitterly. "Just to begin with
when you went away you didn't let
me know; not even a word-not
line"
Her manner persisted in being in
consequent. "Why, no." she said. II

Cyclone Near Ellerbe.

A cyclone swooped down on
the old Gillis place, three miles
west of Ellerbe, Sunday after.
noon about 3 o'clock, and com.
pletely destroyed the house and
|outbuildings. Mr.. Bob Garris
and family occupied the place.
Fortunately, they were absent
from home at the time, and this
fact doubtless prevented a loss
of life. The cyclone made a
path through the woods, taking
off the tops of trees, but it seem.
ed to swoop down to the ground
at the Garris home. The house
was blown down as we'll as the
barn and other buildings. The
two mules in the barn were
scratched but not seriously hurt.
A cat and litter of kittens were
found safely tucked under a
protruding plank in the debris of
the house, unhurt. All the fur
niture was ruined as well as
most of the clothing. 1t made
a complete wreck of a worthy
mans home.
The same afternoon a cyclone
made a sweep across a part OF
Union county, entailirg much
property loss but no damage to
life.
