While Allan snt in the little cabin he
gradually became oppressed with a
Sense OF great loneliness. From time

and confidence between them seemed
so tight 1t brought the moisture to his
eyes. He thought Of the past years !;

their comradeshlp and mutual ambi-

His memory carried him still fur

before his f,lce, to drive home the
truth thar they We're rot gods at all
but mere idols Of his own creation.
In Harris later life two idols had
grown up to the exclusion of all 9TH
ers: they were the wealth which he
had huiIded with his hands and the
boy, Allan. about whom he wrapped all
the affection Of his nature: and they
had crumbIed to dust even while he
w0rshiped
He found a flask thrown from some
campers pack. and filed it with water
at the mountain stream that rushed by
a few rods below the cabin. He placed
the liquid TO the boys lips and fancied
that some drops found entrance. He
had stanched the wound as best he
could with fragments torn from the
lining of his coat. and he sat down
again to watch. Until morning he
could do nothing more. Then some
camper. lunIherinan. or surveyor might
happen along the road. If not, he
would have to move Allan at all risks.
1t took time for him to realize the
bitterness with which his plans had
collapsed. AS the night wore on he
was able to weigh his disaster in a.
more balanced mind. but its magnitude
grew in the weighing. From prosper
ous ambition he had been swept in an
hour to pennless ruin. His destruc-
tion was almost complete The old
farm, the scene of his labors-his and
Mary s-was gone. If Allan should
die there remained nothing more.
Suddenly he fancied he heard the
sound of horses hoofs in the clay road
along the hin side, now seftened with
the light rain. The sound ceased as
suddenly as it began, and 1t occurred
TO him that it might be one of the rob-
bers returning. The lantern was burn
ing low. but as precaution he now
turned it quite out There were some
cartridges in Allan's pocket; he felt
for them and decided to bring the gun
out of the cabin. But before he could
put his decision into effect he. observed
the form of q man moving silently but
briskly toward the cabin. He held his
breath and remained obscured in the

SPECIAL MUSICAL
PROGRAM ENJOYED
LOCAL TALENT UNDER DIREC-
TON OF MRS. SHERMAN DE-
LIGHTS LARGE AUDIENCE.

An overlooking audience at the
Methodist church Sunday night de-
spite the rain and slush, was unmis-
taxable proof that the people of the
community have high appreciation of
good music
The special program under the di-
rection OF the organist, Mrs. w. F.
Sherman, was a varied one, both in
chorus selections and solo numbers,
and all reached the standard of the
classical in breadth and purity, making
stimulating atmosphere for the
aesthetic sense OF both singers and
audience. Ones only regret was that
the bursts of melody could not go on
indefinitely. Seldom has Dawson au-
dience been so highly pleased and en-
tertained as they were by this sacred
concert.
The cast was made up almost entire
ly of local talent brought together
from different parts of the county and
trained TO fine harmonies with only a
few rehearsals under Mrs. Sherman's
skilled direction. The News is pleased
to give the full program, which speaks
more eloquently than any words OF

DAWSON CONFRONTED
BY A COAL FAMINE
STREET LIGHTS ARE CUT OUT,
AND DAY CURRENT MAY
BE DISCONTINUED.

Dawson is on the verge of a coal
famine, and unless there is early re-
lief the consequences may be serious.
The city has only enough coal to
operate the water and light plant two
or three days longer, this situation
having been caused, according to Al
derman w. H. Locke, chairman of the
water and light committee of the city
council, by conhscation by the South
ern railroad of carload of coal that
was shipped to the city of Dawson
have arrived here The latter part of
last week.
The failure to get this coal has made
it necessary to conserve the small
amount on hand, using only as much
as is necessary to supply water and
lights in the homes. Since Saturday
night the plant has been run only I'M
til midnight for this purpose, and
street lights have been cut out entire
ly.
Unless coal can be had in the imme-
date future it will be necessary to dis
continue the day current, which would
greatly inconvenience fifteen or TWEEN
ty industrial plants and firms that use
the city's electricity for power. All Of
the machinery in The News Office, in
GLIDING linotypes, presses and other
machines, is run by electricity, and
should the day current be cut off work
in both the newspaper and the job
printing departments would be prac-
tically suspended.
Alderman Locke and Superintend-
ent Petty, of the water and light sys-
tenn, are exerting every effort to OBJ
tain coal They have appealed to the
state fuel administrator at Atlanta and
are endeavoring to obtain coal through
other sources, and they are hopeful
of replenishing their rapidly diminish
ing supply in the next few days. 1t
requires about a carload of coal a
week to operate the city's plant.
Prospects for a settlement OF the
strike are said to be some brighter,
and there is belief in some quarters
that the miners will return to work
this week. President Harding is hold
ing conferences with the mine opera
tors and officials of the miners union,
and reports are to the effect that they
are nearer an agreement than at any
time heretofore.
