potamia: The recent loan to Greece Is
especially. resented" Lord Northc ife
said that If the following program We're
instantly carried out 1t would heal the
wounded sentiments and restore peace
and tranquility in India: First. The
British should recognize the sultan as
the head of Islam and the warden or
the Holy Palace at Mecca, Medina and
Bagdad and grant a cross to them by
Moslems. Second. Adrianopole should
be returned to Turkey. Third. The
whole of Asia Minor should be handed
over to Turkey, not excepting Smyrna,
for the Turks regard Asia Minor as the
homeland, and while they have no le-
gitimate grievance regarding the loss
Of the fortunes of war Of their empires
of Irak and Arabia, they resent the
splitting up of the land Of their birth.

Rev. j. S. Moffatt, d. D., who died in
Columbia on Wednesday morning, was
one of the big men of the day in South
Carolina. He was big spiritually, NOR
ally and intellectually. He was broad
and charitable, with burning zeal,
not for the advancement OF self; but
for his fellowmen and posterity. His
faith in God was implicit and Intimate,
ard his loyalty to the principles OF
Christianity and the tenetsS of his
church unshakenable and beautiful. NO
man in the Associate Reformed denom-
ination probably had the confidence
love and esteem Of the church at large
to greater extent, and his position
among the generally finest and most
lovable characters Of the state was
equally we'll established.

To Erect Sunday School Building.

w. T. Beamguard, well known. con-
tractor of Clover has been awarded
the contract to build the new Sunday
school department of the First Bap
tist church of Chester. Mr.. Beam
guards bid was $4,000 and he was
awarded the contract despite the fact
that two contractors made lower bids
than he made. The Sunday school
building will include more than
twenty class rooms and other de-
partments. The First Baptist church
of Chester also has plans for a new
church building,

Coming up on the train from Chester
this morning, one of the passengers re-
marked to w, o. Guy, that this heavy
snow and freezing weather would fix

feel any encouragement on that ac-
count" declared Mr.. Guy; but am
rather more impressed with story
heard recently of the fellow who, after
telling to freeze q boil weevil between
blocks of ice put it in the fire and when
the blamed thing got red hot it flew
out Of the window into a haystack,
burning it up along with the barn and

Petition Appropriation for Road.
Requesting that the legislative dele
cation appropriate $4,000 for building
a road from Yorkville to the new
Boyd's Ferry Bridge which will con-
meet York and Necklenburg counties
at Boyd's Ferry O petition signed by
a large number of York county citi-
zens and tax payers has been for
warded to the York county legislative
delegation. The route which the pro-
posed road will take would he let in
the discretion Of the county board of
commissioners. 1t was learned yes
terday that there is little probability
of the delegation making the request
ed appropriation for the reason that
appropriations for road building pur-
poses for this year have already been
decided upon. -

CHAPTER XXI
The New Day.

~
The Shaping of the wind against
the tent awakened Beatrice. She
could hear II soughing gently through
the branches of the live oaks. An out
flung arm discovered Clay missing.
Her questing glance found him
busy over the mesquite fire upon
which he was cooking breakfast. She
watched him move about, supple and
light and strong. and her heart lifted
with sheer Joy of the mate she had
chosen. He was such a oar among
men, this clear-eyed, bronzed hus-
band Of a week. He was so clean and
simple and satisfying. AS she closed
the flaps she gave a deep sigh Of con-
tent.
Every minute till she Joined him
was begrudged. For Beatrice had
learned the message of her heart. She
knew that she was wholly and COM
pletely In love with what life had
brought her.
And she was amazingly. radiantly
happy. What did motor cars or wine
suppers or Paris gowns matter? They
were the trappings that stressed her
slavery. Here she moved beside her
mate without fear or doubt in a world
wonderful. Eye to eve, they spoke the
truth to each other after the fashion
of brave, simple souls.
Glowing from the ice-cold bath Of
water from a mountain stream. she
stepped down the slope into a slant OF
sunshine to Join Clay. He looked up
from the fire and waved Il spoon gayiy
at her. For he too was as jocund as
the day which stood tiptoe on the mis-
ty mountain tops. They had come into
the hills to spend their honeymoon
alone together, and life spoke to him
in accents wholly joyous.
The wind and sun caressed her. AS
she moved toward him, a breath of
the morning flung the gown about her
so that each step modelled anew the
slender limbs.
Her husband watched the girl
streaming down the slope. Love swift
as old wine flooded his veins. He rose,
caught her to him, and looked down
into the deep. still eyes that were
pools of happiness.
Are you glad-glad all through.

A little laugh welled from her throat.
She gave him a tender, mocKIng smile.

whispered.

"Ill give you a thousand dollars TO

"That'd be a thousand and fifty you
had given me, wouldn't it'll" returned
Lindsay gayly.
Tears OF vexation stood in Brom-

I'll be fair to Whitford and arrange
a deal with him"

IF | do, will you let me go?"
"If you don't we'll return to the

Bromfeld got busy with the tele-
phone.
When he had finished, Clay strolled
over to a bookcase, cast his eyes over
the shelves, and took out a book. 1t
was David Harum." He found an
e~asy-chair, threw a leg over one arm.
and presently began to chuckle.

apologetically. apropos Of the lack OF
