CHAPTER, XxxV.

THE next day, Sunday, was
again perfect, and in the
- glorious Spring sunshine II
did not seem possible that there
could be such evil so close at hand
on the very doorstep, so to speak.
II all went to prove our daily prox.
unity to the door OF the apparently
unreal, which is, perhaps, often
very real, II beyond our immediate
understanding and intelligence.
We all spent It In a delightful
desultory fashion, talking Of every
thing except the subject uppermost
in our minds, and making up to
Ann for the neglect OF the previous
two evenings. That Is, all except
Blenkinsopp, who thought It high
time to take Doodle into his FULL
confidence and explain everything
to him in detail, and they we're
closeted together most Of the morn.

Sir Thomas Brayton and putting
eferything down in black and white.
At noon Wellingham was again
allowed ~ see Tony Burlington for
short time, and reported him
much better and more cheerful. He
seemed easier in his mind and wor.
rying less, and he did not once re-
fer to Miss Yvette st. Clair. His
only reference to the accident was
obviously dictated by the physical
and mental lethargy OF extreme
weakness.
"Can't remember anything about
any accident, Bill, old boy" he said
almost pathetically. zone day
when I'm better--you must tell me
all about it-and"-
And then he faltered and stopped,
his mental energy petering out.

And so we sat round the table,

sending him some miles down the
road to divert the traffic, giving
him specious enough reasons Of my

on similar Job somewhere up the
road.
THAT will not only get them out
of harms way, but will make them
feel highly important. while 1t will
prevent them spotting the nre and
coming to the rescue prematurely

for trouble or the premature good

lice, and we can't afford one In this
instance.
And SO, satisfied that things were
as far ahead as. possible. and shap-
ing themselves as well as could be
for the climax of the hideous drama,
we all went to bed with the sense
of a good days work accomplished.
That night, as had become my
habit during the last fortnight, ]
pulled up my blind and watched the
cold face OF the moon all but come
to maturity, and thought, with
heavy heart full Of sympathy, OF the
poor lonely girl lying full in its bale
full light in her bed in that horrible
house, once so dear to me and now
so loathsome, and / knew that Bur.

A few days ago nice looking,
well dressed man was found lying
on the railroad tracks just north OF
Bridge Ninty, below Memo, with a
fractured skull, seemingly uncon.
scious. He was picked up by a
north bound passenger train and
carried to hospital in Somerset,
KY, where few days later he died,
never regaining consciousness. At
the time he was picked up he had
a Southern Railway hat check in
his hat. No one was able to learn
who he was, or whence he came. 1t
was thought by some that he had
fallen from a passenger train.

POST OFFICE ROBBED

A few nights ago a thief broke in
to the Post Office here and robbed
it of a small amount add made his
get,a way without being discovered.
He removed the glass from the door
panel and went through it. The
rogue got small revolver belong
ing to the Post Master, an overcoat
belonging to S. n. Oakley, few
pennies. and perhaps some other
small articles of little value.
The same night, and probably
the same thief, broke into John Eb-
ble's meat market and stole some
change that was left in his cash
draw.

Hon. D. W. Bryce, Representa-

with homefolks.
The people in this end of the
county are very much interested in
the new bond issue for roads.
Since the supreme court has up
held the constitutionaiity of the dog
law we are wondering if the same
will be enforced in this. county.
Sheer growing has been encouraged
and worthless dogs have been threat
ened with determination by this
act. Several car loads of fine sheep
have been shipped this season from
the third district alone. A man can
raise four hundred pound porker,
on what the average worthless cur
will consume in twelve months.
Senator Monroe has introduced
an act to repeal this dog law in all
his counties but Morgan. He says
Morgan County favors the dog law.
We dlways thought Morgan County
was ahead of most counties in many
respects, and now we know it is in
one respect. 1t has passed the stage
where 1T thinks more as a 'houn
dorg' than it does the welfare of
great profitable and necessary indus
try. namely, sheep-growing.
