The Hasty Departure.

Ethel had been warned time and
again that she must not keep com.
pany with Tom Jones, a young man
with a questionable character. But
it so happened on this particular
night that Ethel's father was the one
who greeted the young man as he
entered the vestibule of his sweet
hearts home. He no sooner had
passed the time of the day than he
found himself seated in the middle
of the street, assisted by the foot of
Ethel's angry father.
Ethel, just having completed her
toilet, came downstairs and asked of
her father what had become of Tom.
"He just went out" replied the
father, gruffiy.
"Gone out? How soon will he be
back?' asked his daughter.
"Well," replied he, with sarcasm,
"if he Games back as quickly as he
went out he's due here now"

Darkness had fallen by the time he
reached the narrow trail at the val
ley's end, and he had many narrow
escapes among the boulderS with which
the way was strewn. On each side
Of him the cliff rose vertically, and the
pass itself, hardly wide enough to per-
nit a horse to ascend, seemed like a
fissure in the mountain side made by
some natural cleavage of the rocks.
He had assembled to within a few
feet of the summit when some instinct
halted him abruptly. Then a sudden
drift of smoke toward him showed
him that the campfire was just atNthe
crest. The sound of voices reached
his ears.
Crawling slowly forward upon his
stomach, and pulling himself to the
level top of the mountain, Winton
peered out from behind the cover of
a mimosa tree, and saw a party of
yellow Hottentots seated about the
blaze.
Their were six or eight Of them,
and behind the fire was a tent, which
Winton knew concealed De Witt.
The fear that Sheila was there. in
the mans power, tempted Winton to
rush forward. He had to use all his
Judgment to give no sign of his pres
ence as he crouched flat behind the
little tree at the edge of the precipice.
Some movement must have alarmed
one of the Hottentots, for he leaped
to his feet with a cultural exclamation
and hurled his k%nobkerrie toward the
spot where Winton lay. 1t was fortu-
nate that the party had no dogs with
them. The missile, whirring past Win
toms head, crashed against a boulder
and dropped to the valley below,
striking from rock to rock in the
course Of its descent.
The native, who had advanced to
recover his weapon, stopped as the
sound of the fall showed that it was
recoverable, and went back to the
fire.
Winton's fingers relaxed on his re-
volver butt. Another instant and he
would have fred-and lost Sheila ire
trievably.
He lay fiat in the grass, watching
the light of the fire play upon the
fierce faces about it. Already the
moon was rising. He could neither
advance nor retire without immediate
discovery. Desperate plans chased
each other through his head in swift
succession.
Each turned upon the feasibility of
a rush, the snatching up of a spear
after he had fired his remaining bull
let's, and a hopeless fight with the
object of at least killing De Witt.

WAITING

There had been others like Ruth
There are many others like her now,
But it is of Ruth that this story is
about.
Ruth was one of those who was al
ways waiting for something better and
more exciting to turn up.
If she went flower-gathering in the
woods and along the country roads she
seldom came home with many flowers.
She always kept moving from one
place to another thinking that the next
flowers would be better than the last.
Sometimes she would be out a
whole afternoon and by the end of the
afternoon she would discover, when it
was time to come home, that she had
really passed by the best Of the
flowers.
When she went to parties she walt
ed for more interesting games and SO
never had a very good time.
She sat in a corner and didn't want
to play anything that was being
played.
And when they asked her what she
would like to play she would say:
Il don't care
Yet she wouldn't play any of the
games suggested and wouldn't make
any suggestions herself.
She I'VE particularly enjoyed any
presents she received because as soon
as she received them she was wonder
ing what she would get next-and so
didn't get any pleasure out of what
had been given to her.
Ruth was not very well liked by her
playmates.
One night Peter Gnome had asked
the Dreamland King if he could call
on Ruth and the Dreamland King had
sat back on Sleepy Time Cloud and
had said:
Indeed, you may, Peter Gnome.
I'D be delighted to have you do So"
SO Peter Gnome went a-calling.

The Passing of De Witt.

"Yes, I am in your power, but do you
you would do ma?" she asked.
"Sheila, listen to reason! We've
both fought for you, and I've won.
You'll never see him again. He can't
find the way here, and even if he knew
where you are he couldn't cross the
desert. You're in my power-and I'm
offering to marry you. Can | De

"To your own wife?" asked Sheila
sc%ornfully.
THAT happened years ago. Maybe
she's dead. l haven't heard of her
in five years, and nobody will know
about it where I'll take you. You shall
have your fling in johannesburg and
live with the best people. Sheiia, |
love you"
IF you loved me, Mr.. De Witt, you
would scorn to threaten me-"
I'm talking plain sense. You're
in my overwhelmingly. If you'll say
the one word you shall be set free,
and we'll strike across country to-
gether. If you won't-well, you

death places of the wild beasts of the

of prey, which, feeling the approach of
death, drank their last drink at the
spring and turned aside among the
cliffs to die unmolested. 1t had been

gaped in skulls, and in n lonely
place, in a cluster of grass, an aged
hyena, whose last hunting was done,
crouched, belly fiat against the ground,
with open chops, and snarled in its
decrepitude.
Winton hurried on, trying to make
the end of the valley, where he
thought some pass might exist, before
darkness held him a prisoner. He
had nearly crossed this desoiate region
when he caught sight of a tiny twinkle
of red light on the cliff above him.
He stopped, hardly able to believe
it true. Another light appeared. Then
came a series. Winton realized that
these were sparks blown from a camp
fire upon the summit.
His heart began to thump wildly.
He stumbled forward over the bones.

Willis Palmer Bailey, for the past
40 years q resident of Riverside and
well known and respected by large
circle of friends. died about $50
O'Clock Wednesday morning at his
home. Death was due to heart trou-
bic. He is survived by his wife,
Mrs. Addie Bailey, two sons, W.
Chester Bailey of Boston, and II.

sisters, Mrs. S. G. Decker of Gar

Funeral services will be held from

Quoted by Rev. A. Francis Walch of
Augusta.
Mr.. Bailey was born in Whitefield,
August 3. 1913, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Francis Bailey. He married
Addie NJ. Carleton of Whitefield and
when a young man moved to Boston,
where for a number of years he
worked as wood moulder. About
40 years ago he moved to Riverside
and purchased fine farm, where
he has since resided.
PA" Bailey, as he was known by
many friends and acquaintance, al
ways had CHEEKY word for all. No
matter how dark the outlook, he
could always find bright spot
somewhere and he never failed to
turn misfortune into joke, SO
that those with whom he came in
contact invariably found themselves
laughing when he was around. He
was hard worker and always ready
to extend a helping hand to anyone
in misfortune. His loss will be
mourned by every member of the
community in which he lived. and
his death leaves II place that will not
easily be filled.
