Tipped, n'erved for death. Il ought

the chance. But-I'm white, you

At the insult flung into his face
over the muzzles of his own pis-
tolls, Quintana burst into laughter,
All! You should have shot me!
You are quite right, my frien'. l

He laughed again so hard that
Darragh felt his pistols shaking
against his body.

He laughed, patted Darragh on
the shoulder with one al his pistols.
You, now--you could be of use.
Why? Because you are a better
man than was Nick Salzar. He VINO
kills is better than the dead"
Then, swiftly his dark features
altered:

Yes, perhaps. But also | should

Without shifting his eyes he made
a motion with one pistol to his men.
AS they turned and entered the
thicket, Quintana's intent gaze be-
came Olrdpr0US
"If I mus kill you I shall do so.
Otherwise I have sufficient trouble
to keep me from ennui. Ny frien',

blue eyes met his with a little effort.
All courage is an effort.
Then thag young man dropped on
both knees at her feet and laid his
lips to her soft hands.
In trembling silence she stood for
a moment, then slowly sank on both
knees to face him across their
cIasped hands.
So, in the gilded cathedral of the
woods, pillared with silver, and
azure-domed, the betrothal Of these
two was sealed with cIask and lip.
Awed, d little fearful, she looked
into her lovers eyes with d gaze 50
chaste, SO oblivious to all things
earthly, that the still purity Of her
face semed as sacrament, and he
scarcely dared touch the childish
lips she offered.
But when the sacrament of the
kiss had. been accomplished, she
rested one hand on his shoulder and
rose, and drew him with her.
Then his moment came: he drew
the embIazoned case from his breast,
opened it, and, in silence, laid it in
her hands The blaze Of the jewels
in the sunshine almost blinded thcm
That was his moment
The next moment was Quintana's.
Darragh hadn't chance Out Of
the bushes two pistols were thrust
hard against his stomach. Quin-
tana's face was behind them. He
wore no mask, but the three men
with him watched him over the
edges Of handkerchiefs-0v the
sights Of Ieveled rifles, too.
The youthful Grand Duchess had
turned deadly white. One of GUM
tana's men took the morocco case
from her hands and showed her
aside without ceremony.

his leveled weapons:

BSGIN HERE TODAY

Through the Adirondack forests
RACES a savage battle for possession
of the Flaming Jewel, originally stol-
en- from the refugee, Countess Theo-
doriea of Esthonia, by the great in

by Mike Clinch, an American soldier,
who brought the gem back to the dis
reputable hunting camp where he llv-
ed life of crime ever since his legic-
innate business of guiding hunting
parties had been destroyed years ago
by the uncle of James Darragh. OAR

Trooper Stormont, escape from Quln-

the bosom of his flannel shirt.
That's the main thing anyway
he thought. Then turning to Wier
he asked whether Eve ana Stor-
mont had awakened.
1t appeared that Trocser Sto"-
mont had saddled up and cantercd
away shortly after sunrise, leaving
word that he must hunt up his
comrade, Trooper Lannis, at Ghost
Lake.
"Thcy're coming back this even
ing" added Wier. "He asked you
to look out for CIinch's step-daugh-
ter"
She's all right here Can't you
keep an eye on her, Ralph?'
"Very well, sir. But suppose she
takes it into her head to leave"
Darragh called back gaily: "She
can't; she hasn't any clothes" And
away he strobe in the gorgeous sun
shine of a magnificent autumn day,
all the clean and vigorous youth Of
him afire in anticipation Of a re
union which the letter from his
lady-love had transgfured into
tryst
For, in that amazing courtship Of
a single day, ne never dreamed that
he had won the heart Of that sad,
Whitehead, hungry child in rags
silken tatters still stained with the
blood of massacre-tle very soles
of her shoes still charred by the
embers of her own home.
About hale an hour later he came
to his senses with a distinct shock.
Straight ahead of him on the trail
and looming directly toward him,
moved a figure in Knockers and belt
ed tweed.
Flecked sunlight slantcd on the
strangers cheek and FURNISHED hair,
dappliny face and figure with NOV
ing, golden spots.
Instantly Darragh knew and
trembled.
But Theodorica of Esthonia had
known him only in his uniform.
AS she came toward him, lovely
in her 1.-THE and rounded grace, only
friendly curiosity gazed at him from
her blue eyes.
Suddenly she knew him, went
scarlet to her yellow hair, then
white; and tried to speak-but had
no control of the short, rosy upper
lip which only quivered as he took
her hands.
The forest was dead still around
them save for the whisper of painted
leaves sitting down from a sunlit
vault above.
Finally she said in a ghost of a

the thicket, venturing one swift and
evil glance at the girl who stood as
though dazed.
Listen attentively," he said to
Darragh. Zone of my men remains
hidden very near. he is dead
shot. His aim is at your-sweet-
heart's-body. You understand"
Yes"
Yer well. You shall not go away
for one hour time. After that"
he took off his SLOUGH hat with
sweeping bow-"you may go to
hellr'
Behind him the bushes parted,
closed.
Jose Quintana had made his
adieux.

Death of W. J. Hodges, Sr.

A host of relatives and friends
mourn the death of Grandfather
Hodges, Grandpa Bill' or Uncle
Bill as he was ofttimes called
Grandfather Hodges was i'll only
short time when the death angel
came and claimed him on the evening
of November 3rd, between the hours
of and 9 O'Clock, and bore his spir-
it to another world, to that home
where there is no sorrow, sickness
or death, and no sin can enter.
Grandpa" was an old Confederate
veteran, and lived to a ripe old age,
of SIS years, months and 28 days.
He was loved and respected by all
who knew him. Though he had new
er made any public profession of
faith in anv denomination, he always
read the old family Bible until his
e"e9 became too dim to read; he at
ended public worship until he be-
cane too feeble to do, and always
preached, and p7acticed the Golden
Rule. He always had a cheerful word
for eve"y one with whom he came in
contact and practiced the old saying
Smile and the world smiles with
you, weep and you weep alone"
Though Garndpa has left us, and
will be greatly missed in the home
and elsewhere, for he has 9 children,
all living, AZ grandchildren and rs
great grandchildren, all living except
5, to mourn his absence, it is to be
hoped our loss is his gain eternal.
The funeral services were held at
the old home, where he had lived the
past 81 years, Rev. w. R. Johnson
officiating, On March 5th, 1922, at
1000 o'clock a. M, after which the
Hartman Undertaking Co., took
charge of the remains and proceed
ed to RaWls Cemetery near Ruth,
Miss, where he was laid away to
rest.
His grave was beautifully decorated
with variety Of flowers, by friends
and relatives as tribute of respect
and remembrance.
Though our hearts are bowed in
sorrow
God will be our comfort and stay.
There'll be a brighter day tomorrow,
For He will wipe all tears away.
He is gone, but not forgotten,
Never will his memory fade.
3weetest thoughts will ever linger
Round the grave where he was laid.

LEGISLATURE CONTROLLED BY
CORPORATIONS.

The list of measures pending
which are favorable to BIG BUSI-
NESS, or the interests, is appalling.
An an indication, the house has al
ready passed a bill abating the suit
brought by District Attorney Brown
ing, and providing that in the future
no district attorney can prosecute a
trust without first obtaining permits
sion from the attorney general. Some
Of the members have asked why not
include murderers and other crimi-
nails.
The Senate has passed law re-
pealing the old statute limiting the
holding of land in the state to one
million dollars, and by manufactur-
ing concerns two million, and raising
the limit to fifteen million dollars.
This will be sufficient for a while
and perhaps then another obedient
legislature will again raise the lin
it.
In addition there are other bills.
if possible, more pernicious in eff
feet than these bills and admittedly
in favor of corporations and the
speeches in their favor are given wide
publicity.
There have been some exceptional
ly able speeches made in opposition
to these corporate measures, but
they have not been referred to, and
no extracts from them have been
quoted in the papers. One of the
ablest was delivered by Abe Cohn,
the senator from Lincoln county. He
showed that the greatest asset of
any country is men, and that where
the land is owned by few individ-
uals or corporations, the men become
necessarily the serfs of the few. But
his eloquence and logic availed not.
The bill was passed.-Gulf Coast

A. H. S. NEWS.

The Copiah-Lincoln A. II. S. was
represented at the Hi-Y Girls Con-
ference at D'Lo recently by Misses
Yawn, Thelma Ashley, Frank Will
liams, Ruth Alderman, Zelma White,
and the advisor, Miss Bernice McMul-
len. They brought back new inspir-
alton and helpful ideas which they
feel will be of great benefit to them
in their club work. The entire school
was highly elated over the election
of one of their number, Miss Lolita
Conerly, as president of the Confer
ence. A Copiah-Lincoln girl, Miss
Ruth Douglas, was elected to this po-
sition last year.
The Fine Arts Department gave a
very interesting program recently.
This department is constantly grow
ing stronger and aside from the ex-
cellent entertainments given from
time to time is making its influence
felt throughout the school and the
community.
The Dumond Quartette, the last
number on our Lyceum Course for
the season, presented high class en-
tel+ainment Thursday night. The
course given this year has been the
strongest we have ever had and has
been a source. of great pleasure and
benefit to the student body and the
community.
Our boys are still working to w
the debate to be held at Millsaps la
ter in the spring. Eight boys origi-
nally entered the contest. Four have
been eliminated. These four have
had one preliminary contest. The
subject for discussion was, Resolved
That the United States Should Enter
the League of Nations. The affirm
ative side was represented by How
ard Barlow and Edwin Shelton. The
negative by Bennajah Steele and Oh
iver Cathey. Three business men
from Wesson acted as judges and de-
cided that the negative side made the
most points and that Howard Barlow
and oliver Cathey had delivered the
best speeches in the best manner.
Another contest will be necessary to
decide who shall represent the school
in the final contest at Millsaps.
Last Friday evening the Juniors
entertained the Seniors in the dining
hall which was decorated with Sc
nior colors, yellow and white. Cake
and punch were served for refresh
ments.
The first baseball game of the sea-
son was played Friday at Brookha-
ven with the Pike County A. H. S.
team. 1t was a closely contested
game and resulted in defeat for our
boys with a score of 4 to 2.

AN ALL-woMEN's BANK

Whether the all-women's bank, lust
opened at Cleveland, Ohio, will be a
success or not remains to be seen, but
the idea will, no doubt, appeal to the
women who still feel a bit shy and
self-conscious in dealing with what
has hitherto been strictly man-made
institution. Banks are not nearly so
awe-lnspiring as they once were, and
are daily becoming more human, but
there are many women who have not
yet found It out. The stocking and the
old teapot are much more familiar,
and there are no cold and stiff for
malities connected with the business
Of banking in such repositories. II
the Women'S Savings Bank and Loan
company of Cleveland Is successful,
Its success will go far toward remov-
Ing women's distrust Of banks, says
the New York Tribune. 1t will also
demonstrate their ability to direct and
handle q financial institution from the
ground up, for although women have
gone beyond the experimental stage
In their participation In business, 1t
has been In subordinate capacity.
In the direction and management Of
large affairs they are just beginning
to feel their way.

KEEP AFTER EN-.

One of the largest manufacturers
of American-made automobiles, In
his weekly letter to his dealers, says
regarding the developing of prospects
through advertising, to Keep After
EN-" Let every merchant adopt this
slogan, and Keep After EN-" If
advertising will sell automobiles, it
will sell tooth picks, ice cream, shoes
and groceries or any other kind of
merchandise that people use in their
everyday lives. AS a matter of fact,
the only way to become successful in
business is to be up-to-date in your
advertising literature in other
words keep after EN-" People need
greater inducement today to buy
than ever before. You cannot create
sales by sitting behind your desk or
counter bemoaning conditions, COM
planning to every customer that en-
ters your door that times are hard,
and damning everything in general.
One sure way to prosperity Is to ap-
pear prosperous-keep that smile up
on your face, speak encouragingly
to your customers, inject salesman

THE PNEUMONIA MONTH.

March is a typical pneumonia
month and usually gives a high rate
of mortality for the disease. After
a long and hard winter, the system
loses much of it's resistance and
people grow careless. When every
cold, no matter how slight, is given
prompt and intelligent attention,
there is much less danger of pneu-
monia. 1t should be borne in mind
that pneumonia is a germ disease and
breeds in the throat. Chamberlain
Cough Remedy is an eXpectorant and
cleans out the germ ladened mucus
and not only cures a cold but pre-
vents it's resulting in pneumonia. 1t
is pleasant TO take. Children take 1t
willingly.
