Lonesome.

! When John Moreland and Ben Lit
tleford had finished their breakfast
there in the dining room Of the Blais-
dell, they drank the water from their
tngerbowls, threatened with sudden
death the waiter who snickered, and
found the way to the lobby.
To Littleford the minutes dragged
soddenly. Finally he told Moreland,
In sentence filled with double mega
tives, that he. could bear the suspense
no longer, and proposed that they set
Uui at on,e fOr DvIt0T BTaemer's hos
pital. The hotel manager overheard
some OF the oDe-sided conversation :;
he 'phoned the surgeon and learned
that the young woman was resting
easily, which information he passed
on to the mountain men.
Ben Littleford was quiet for five
minutes, more or less. Then he again
proposed to John Moreland that they
go TO the hospital to see Babe. More
land refused fatty, and accompanied
his refusal with an unmistakable lock-
of contempt.

f1ea town." he told his old enemy and
with that he walked away
few minutes later Ben LittIeforU
stole out unnoticed by his neighbor
from the Big Pine, and went at brisk
gait up the street. Moreland found IL

he mOtioned to McLaurin, who had

order that he might not ovcrhear, ana

Bill Dale stopped suddenly and
faced back to his father

Yes" replied John X. Dale, Bobby

He went sadly toward the mansion
that seemed to him now a good deal
like tomb. Young Dale touched his
friend on the arm.
"Tell me, what did mother say2 1
know it's going to hurt, but-tell it."
"She was sitting beside an open win
dow in the library" said McLaurin

coldly, Il want you never to forget this !:

ISOLATION, at which were gathered 20
fathers and sons. About 80 fathers and
sons could not get in because the "a
cilities of the hall were completely
taken up by those who had reserved
their plates in advance. Struck by the
eagerness of the fathers and sons to
take advantage of participating in the
observance of the Father and Son
Week, the city boys work secretary
planned to launch out upon city

marvellous results were obtained.
request was sent out to all the pastors
throughout the city to preach he Father
and Son sermon at the close OF the
weeks observance. An exceedingly
gratifying response came from the re-
quest, and 81 pastors preached the SER
mon. The newspapers of the city en-
tered splendidly into the weeks OBJ
servance by publishing the whole pro-
gramme in advance, and then calling
special attention each day to the part
that the fathers and sons should take
in that days observance. Ten banquets
were held in different districts OF the
city, some as church banquets and some
as community banquets, and large
groups met to talk over the relation
ships of fathers and sons. A total Of
1900 fathers and sons were estimated
as having participated in the rather
and Son Week, not counting the large
congregations that attended the
churches on Sunday.
This year, from the present ar
rangements it appears that our success
will be even double that OF last year.
The pastors of the city in their regu-
lar meeting. February Z, agreed to
preach the special father and son SER
