When Ann went upstairs to make
the bed that Tuesday morning, the
sight that met her eyes struck terror
to her heart. The bedclothes were
scattered in wild confusion half over
the room. The washbowl, with two
long singing books across it, she dis
covered to her horror, was serving as
a prison for small green snake. The
Bible and the remaining hymn books,
topped by Bakers Saints Rest"
lay in q suspicious-looking pile on the
floor. Under these Miss Wetherby did
not look. After her experience with
the snake and the wash bowl, her
nerves were not strong enough. She
recoiled in dismay, also, from the
sight Of two yellow, paper.covered
books on the table, Haunting shame

Red Island" and Haunted by q

She went about with both ears stuffed
with cotton, and eyes that were ever
on the alert for all manner Of creep
ing, crawling things in which Bobby's
soul delighted.
The boy, reinforced by the children
Of the entire neighborhood, held a cir
Gus In Miss Wetherby's woodshed, and
instituted Wild Indian camp in her
attic. The poor woman was quite
powerless, and demonstrated all in
vain. The boy was so cheerfully good
tempered under her sharpest words
that the victory was easily his.

"Oh, come of, Miss wetherby, 'tain't

An hour later. Miss Wetherby had a

gerly on one Of the slippery haircloth
chairs, and proceeded at once to state
his business

Miss wetherby choked, and STAN.

The woman was still more visibly
embarrassed.

then in stronger tones, "The one that

"Are there two?" he asked In stupid
amazement.
Miss Wetherby laughed uneasily,
then she sighed.

Robert down ter the rehearsal tonight,

him." And with this Mr.. Wiggins was
forced to be content.
Bobby sang on Sunday. The little
church was full to the doors. Bobby
Wis already famous In the village.
The witchery Of the glorious voice
entered again into the woman's soul,
and indeed, sent the entire congrega-
tion home in an awed silence that
was the height Of admiring homage.
At breakfast time Monday morning.
Bobby came downstairs with his
brown paper parcel under his arm.
Ann glanced at his woeful face, then
went out into the kitchen and slammed
the oven door sharply.

a bearlike hug.

An important real estate transaction
was closed IN this city day or two ago
when r. z. l.. McCaski1l of McCaskilI

sold to II. II. Bolton, general agricultural

the NJ. s. B. & P. railroad
Before Mr.. Bolton accepted his present
position with the NJ s. B. & P. he was
the most extensive grower of Irish pO-
tatoes in Mobile county, Ala, and it IS
his plan to clear, stump and otherwise
place 200 acres Of the land which he ac-
quired last week, for cultivation next
spring to Irish potatoes and watermelons
Operations are already under way
clearing the land and these operations
will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
It is also contemplated in Mr.. Bottoms
plans for the future, to devote large
acreage to the culture of satsumas. How
ever this cannot be undertaken during
the coming year on account Of the scare
ity OF satsuma nursery stock. But In
1924, the nursery stock situation is ex-
pected to be very much better, and Mr.
Bottoms dream of a satsuma grove Of
extensive acreage Will doubtless be rea-
lized.

LAUSANNE, Nov. 27.-America's In

follows her traditional demands for equal
commercial privileges in the Far East
was cited today by the Russian delega-
ton as supporting an official communi-
cation forwarded by the Russian dele
right Of speech on all matters before
that body.
Russia objects vigorously to any at
tempt to limit her activities in the dis
cussion Of the future status of the Dar-
danelles; she claims that all topics on
the Lausanne agenda are closely related
to the supreme object Of freedom of the
straits and that stable peace in the
Near East can be attained only by al
lowing the Russian delegates free par
ticipation on the same basis as tho
other great powers.

the statements of NJ. Clemenceau in ref
