The resignation which had
Quieted the tempestuous heart OF
youth that beat in the grey-clad
bosom was like the crust that forms
over a wound. The very thought OF
escape, of returning to the world OF
those who really live, had broken
through to set the warm blood of
youth rioting in her veins.
Diana was a trifle excited her
self at the prospect of getting back
to white porcelain baths and per-
TUNED beauty shops and decollete
dinner gowns.
Premonitions.
Doctor Borden made little cere-
mony of closing the house for their
departure. His face was a trifle
grim as he went from window to
window. boiling the shutters.
Diana wondered If he were re-
Numbering all too wildly the gaunr
spectre of the past which had driven
him into exile; If perhaps he were
regretting the Impulse to protect
her which was driving him from his
retreat.
She noticed that there was no ali,
OF nnality about his preparations
Tor departure. Did some inner
prescience warn him that he was
facing only temporary reprieve, she
wondered?
When she remembered that the
duration of his stay rested exclu-
sively with her. she shivered even
In the breathless heat of the noon
tide.
What a leaf in the current, she
was! What sport life was having
with her! How mocking must be
the smile of romance,
They were OF at last. Jogging
along behind the fat little pony.
At turn in the road the doctor
looked back. Diana thought she
had never seen his face SO sad or
so stern.
Cynthia did not look back. Her
face, still wearing Its youthful
flush. was set straight ahead ana
her eyes were eager.

Chuck Perfects
An Alarm and
Traps Father

Someone tried to get into the
Allen place last night" Chuck
announced at dinner. George
was telling me about it this
morning. And only last week
Hardy's house was robbed"
1t makes me nervous" Alice
shivered. Every time 1 hear a
sound at night I think someone
Is trying to break in. | wish
we had some sort of burglar
alarm"
Lets fix one ourselves" Chuck
suggested. Il bet I could rig up
a dandy one"
I'd feel better II your father
didn't have to be away so much"
Mrs. Wright sighed.
The family went to bed a little
later than usual. They disliked
leaving the CHEEKY living-room.
Before they went upstairs they
made sure that all doors and
windows were locked. Mrs.
Wright took the best of her sill
verware up with her. Chuck
put his fathers revolver under
his pillow. He couldn't nnd any
shells for it. but that didn't
worry him any.
Toward midnight the family
was awakened by an uproar that
sounded in the still night like
a thousand clashing cymbals. 1t
seemed to come from somewhere
downstairs. Mrs. Wright and
Alice came running out into the
hall, their faces white. Chuck
came out, too. clutching the re-
volver.
"Oh, what is it," sasped Alice.
Let's telephone for the police"
It's burglars" replied Chuck,
trying to keep his teeth from
chattering. They've probably
cut the telephone wires"
Well. let's not stand here"
said Mrs Wright Let's slip to
the top OF the stairs"
SO, close together, they crept
to the stairway, A voice called
from below: Well, this is a fine
reception! What's the idea?P As
he spoke Mr.. Wright disentan-
gled himself from a mass Of
pans, coal buckets, and tin cans.
It's my burglar alarm" ex-
planned Chuck. II slipped down
and fixed IL. We didn't know
you'd be back tonight Well,
anyway. IL worked"

Talking about roads there are two
very dangerous places on this Chap
pells road. One is at Bush river
where you make detour to cross on
the old bridge until the new concrete
bridge is completed. The road has
been built right up to where the
bridge is to start on either side Of the
river, and at the end of the fill there
is sudden drop of several feet from
the top of the fill, and there is not
sufficient warning of this detour, so
if the driver of car happens to be
going at good rate of speed, and
not knowing of the detour, he is La
bic to drop down over the end OF the
fill. l have said so several times,
and on Friday morning | noticed that
one car had made the descent and
was in the ditch. The wheels or one
side were broken, but the car had
not turned over. l do not know whose
car it is, or whether the occupants
were seriously hurt or not. My boy
said it was a Dodge car. / do not
know, but l guess he was correct.
Some one else said there was blood on
the car, and if so some one was hurt.
did not stop to examine it and DO
not know who had the misfortune to
90 over the bank and drop down be-
low. And then at the Lark place near
Chappells there is a bad detour, or
bad bridge that is really dangerous.
| understand from Mr.. BoulWare that
work on the building Of this bridge
is to begin at once. If you approach
it without having your car under con-
troll you are likely to land in deep
ditch, and you better not be speed
ing. l understand that the section of
the highway from Chappells to the
Saluda /at the railroad crossing is not
likely to be commenced before the
first of the coming year. l am very
sorry. of this, because this is road
| would like to travel at least once a
month or oftener. l hope to see work
begin on it soon, because in anticipa-
ton of the building of the road moth
ing is done toward the upkeep of the
present road, and it is almost impas-
sable and vii get worse as the win
ter season begins. This IS very i'm

Tuesday, November 29, 1921.

A negro witness at the court over
in York the other day, in reply to a
question from Solicitor Henry as to
how he came to York, replied that he
came in on "Bob." The solicitor was
puzzled to know what he meant, and,
it seems, thought the negro was guy
ing him, because he kept repeating in
answer to the question that he came
in on ''Bob.. = Finally someone explain
ed to Mr.. Henry that Bob" was a
train that went up and down, on the
Chester and North Western railroad,
and so designated from the fact that
"a certain engineer by the name of
Bob Smyre ran up and down on the
road with tie passenger trains for a
4 quarter of century, and the people
came to call the train 'Uncle Bob"
and then simply "Bob." +
We refer to this here to say that
the same thing is true of a very use
full train that passes up and down by
Newberry every day from Laurens to
Columbia, and has been run by a
faithful and tried engineer now for
many years, we suspect for even
longer than quarter Of century,
and the people now refer to this train
as Graham" because the faithful
engineer who handles the throttle is
Engineer Graham, and we all hope
that he may be spared to run the
train for another quarter Of century
or more.

I travelled the highway to Chap
pells, of course, and it is fine road
where it is completed. And the road
from Chappells to Vaughnville is now
in good fix, and Mr.. L. H. Sem was
working the part of the road from
Vaughnville to Mill creek, and it will
be in good condition, except that it is
entirely too narrow and should not
only be widened, but Strengthened IN
many places. There is need for some
road work over here so that the peo-
pie who live here could get to the
highways. The road from Mudllc ov-
er by Dominick's on down to Long
shores is almost past travelling. Some
roads up here would open up a fine
section of the county. Mr.. P. n.

several other fine places up this side.

roads and better school facilities. Two
