Philip went on emphatically. "Wasn't
it a queer thing that all the while
I was haunting the shore you were In
the house, my house almost? You
see. live just next door to you"
"Oh" Tony said again. Something
had hurt her dreadfully. Something he
had said. He might be married next
year and, Of course, it would be to
Katherine.
"And time and again / heard how
much some little girl was helping DR..
Paul." he went on. "But somehow l
never heard your name and hadn't
the last idea" He stopped. Then
he slipped his arm about her. Il
didn't know she was my little girl"
he finished.
Tony closed her eyes. All the un-
happiness Of the past weeks left her
that moment like a vanished burden.
He had said she was his little girl.
How very lovely the world was!
Lean against me, DEAR" murmured
Philip. "And this time-Oh, Tony,
don't leave me today without telling
me you love me lot"
Tony glimpsed him with one little
upward glance. Her eyes we're star
bright.
"T love you more'n the whole world"
she trembled. "More'n I know how
to tell"
It isn't any ones affair just how
many times Philip made Tony tell him
she'd marry him, nor is it any ones
affair how many times he kissed her,
but it is our business to listen to
Philips conclusion.
I'm going to tell Cousin John and
Cousin Paul tonight that we're going
to be married." he said, and Tonnibel
had no inclination to forbid him.
With dark thoughts, Katherine was
watching for them to come back again.
She saw the happy shining face OF

from the car and draw her up the
steps. Her teeth came together In
sharp misery as she turned from the
window and went upstairs.

thought Of it makes her sick"
"Your mothers not really sick, my
dear katherine" the doctor asserted.
"Ah, here she Is. Katherine was just
speaking Of you, my dear Sarah"
A merry twinkle came into his eyes
as he turned on his cousin.
"Now. was she?" smirked Mrs. Cur
tfs. -"What were you saying, Kathie?"
Katherine lifted her eyes, slumbering
with passionate anger.
"That you would dislike Cousin
Pauls-I mean that girl up there
taken out for a drive" replied Kath-
crime.
Mrs. Curtis caught her daughters ex-
preston and looked at DR.. John, then
at Philip.
"Well, I should say I wouldn't like
it," she calculated. There's a limit
to all things. What in the world would
the neighbors say to such an out
rage?'
DR.. Pendlehaven's face gathered a
dark look.
IF she'll 90 with Philip, Sarah," he
said, IT wouldn't give hang what the
neighbors said. Come along up, Phil,
and ask her."

"And, oh, Cousin Jonn,"' gasped
Katherine. But the doctor was too
angry to pay any heed to them.
'You really want to take the child,
my lad?" he asked, smiling at Mac
Cauley.
"Yes, do let me-" blurted the boy.
Lets 60 up now"
They had no more than closed the
door when Katherine burst into tears,
and Mrs. Curtis pumped down into a
chair in a spell of Mysteries.
''The little trollop," she cried. "Oh'
I'd like"
I'D like to kill her." burst forth
Katherine. Mother, If you don't DO
something for me, I'll die. Oh, to
think of it; he takes her out when he
could take me! Oh, God! Oh, dear

Her daughters terrible outburst
brought Mrs. Curtis directly out OF
herself.

the outside of the door.
The girl gave him a slight smile.

A Little Drop of Something.

IiIClS OTOP VI So'hS.'hS'
Reginald was sitting in his mothers
room that evening when his sister
opened the door and entered. The
girl looked about for Mrs. Curtis, then
picked up a cigarette and lit it. She
was so white and drawn looking that
her brother stared at her.
"What's the matter, sis?" he asked
with no particular interest in his voice.
"I hate everybody in the world"
snapped the girl.
"Whew! That's some hate" laugh
ed Reggie.
katherine threw herself down on
the divan.
"Worst Of any one I hate Paul Pen
dlehaven and next-well, next hate
Cousin John," she said between her
teeth. II wish, oh, how wish Paul
would die tonight. I'd almost like to
kill him myself. If it weren't for him,
we'd all have money, and if it weren't
for that girl with him, he'd die"
swell, I might cheer you up little
if I told you that perhaps before long
your illustrious Cousin Paul will be
under the sod"
The girl sat up and stared at him.
Don't be q fool, Reggie" she said
with a sneer. cousin John says Paul
will be able to go out Of the house very
soon, that by next week he can 60
anywhere he likes"
Reginald got up lazily. he said
something under his breath that made
his sister struggle to her feet. She
stood a moment and gazed with star
tied eyes at the door that had closed
Reggie on the other side Of 1t.
"Now, what'd he mean by thatT'
she wondered duly. "What did he
mean by saying that If he could help
it Cousin Paul would never drive again.
I wonder just what he meant by thatV
Reggie knew what he meant by his
words If Katherine didn't. He intend
ed to put DR.. Paul out Of the way,
thus helping his mother as well as
himself. He wanted to get away from

WALLACE APPEALS,
WONT DIE, DEC. 16

Columbia, Nov. 16.-J. G. Wallace
the Sumter man who was Monday
convicted of attempted criminal as
sault on a girl under Il, and who
was Tuesday sentenced to die in the
electric chair on December 16, will

appeal from the sentence of Judge
Mauldin. Notice of appeal was re-
cived by Superintendent A. X. San
ders of the state penitentiary this
morning from Solicitor Mcleod of
Florence. This automatically stays
the execution until the appeal is
heard by the supreme court, which
will be during the term starting next
April.

warrant for his arrest was sworn
out by his wife, who later attempt
ed to have it withdrawn, without
success.

REGARDING SCHOOLS

Contrary to, the impression which
has been abroad throughout the
community the past week that there
are a number of cases of diphtherla
among the school children, the facts
as shown by anti-toxin. records
kept by the McMurray Drug Co.,
are that there are now and only have
been recently two cases of this dis
ease among children within the Alb
beville school district, and one adult
case. Only two other cases have been
reported in the county.
THERE'S no visible evidence of any
other contagious or infectious dis
eases among the schools with the ex-
ception of few cases of mumps and
a very few cases of skin diseases.
;Supt. J. D. Fulp is authority for
the above statement of what be be-
lnves to fbe the facts, so far as he
has been able to ascertain after dill
gent inquiry among the pupils, ex-
aminations by the teachers, and
from DR.. McMurray, who, as is stat
ed above, keeps record of the anti
toxin for diphtheria dispensed in
Abbeville.
The superintendent appreciates
the thoughtfulness of the Parent
teacher association in appointing a
committee to Inform him of the
prevalence of contagious diseases,
but so far this committee has made
no report to him. He hopes that par
ents will not be >unduly alarmed, for
all the teachers and principals have
been instructed to Immediately re-
port any suspicious cases.

NAVAL VESSELS.
CAN'T Be SAVED !
MUST BE scRAPPED OR SUNK.
NO SATISFACTORY METHOD
OF UTILIZING FIGHTING
SHIPS I HAS EVER BEEN
FOUND.

Washington, Nov. 16.--Naval ves-
sells designated for discarding un-
der a limitation of armament agree
ment would have to be scrapped OR
sunk, naval experts declared today.
No satisfactory method Of utilizing
naval vessels for any purpose other
than that for which they were de-
signed and built, has ever been
evolved, they said. ..;- .r;.~ p
Hope of saving the discarded Ger
man fleet was voiced in Paris dur
ing the peace conference, these Off
GERS recalled only to be thrown out
as impracticable. The German war
ships could not be used by other
countries effectively on account of
characteristic design and beause Of
the unusual calibre of ammunition
required. {.
ATTEMPTS to remodel the German
feet into merchant and passenger
ships also failed, naval constructors
said, and familiar efforts today in
connection with ships owned by the
United States navy were declared to
~ aono 111y, ,colecc
With the exception of certain
light cruisers, which probably will
not be remodeled satisfactorily, in
the opinion of naval officers. In a
battleship, for example, they said
the heavy armor would have to be
removed and all the bolt. and rive1
holes plugged and sealed and the
ship would have to be literally
"gutted" down to the very hull be-
fore remodeling could be undertak'
en-. The engines, dsigned to drive the
warship at normal cruising speed
for short spaces of time, 1t was as
serted, would not be suited to pas
senger traffic requiring constant
high speed and would have to be re-
placed. The guns could be salvaged
thse officers said, but the whole ship
would have to be redesigned and re'
built to suit a new purpose and
would cost more than a new passen'
ger ship. Moreover, it was believed
the conference probably would re-
quire that converted warship be SO
built as to make reconversion i'm
possible.
