.Natives when asked In regard to the

in their statement to the effect that at
this time of the year the bottom of

have to leave the depths of tho stream
and flash back and forth on or near

Another theory that seemed to have
a great many adherents was to the ef

was a change in the character of tho
water. This change acting on tho fish
as a stimulant.
This theory was advanced by an old

Somebody discovered that fish are
fond of gasoline, and this led to the
idea of soaking worms in gasoline in
order to ruake them more alluring

Later In the day, Tom crossed the
pike to the oak-shingled office of the
Chlawassee Consolidated. Ills father
was deep In the new wage acale sub
mitted by the miners' union, but lie
sat up and pusho4 the papera away
whn his son entered.
"Havs you seen this morning- Trib
une?" asked Tom, taking the paper
frotn hla pocket
"No; I don't make out to find much
time for It before I get home o' nights,"
said Caleb. "Anything doln'?"
"Tea; they are having a hot time In
Chlcaro and Pullman. The strike Is
spreading all over the country on sym
pathy lines."
"Reckon It'll get down to us In any
way?" queried the Iron-master.
"You can't toll. I d be a little easy
with Ludlow and hla outfit on that
wage acale, if I were you. We don't
want a row on our hands Juat now.

Tom took an electric car for the foot
of Lebanon on the line connecting- with
the Inclined railway running up the
mountain to CrestrllfTe Inn. He bad
not seen Ardea slnre the midwinter
night of soul-awskenliiBs; and Aleeto's
finger wrb atlll pressing on the wound
Inflicted by the closed doors of Moun
tain View avenue and his father's dls
directed sympathy.
He found Major Dahney on the hotel
veranda, and his welcome was no
scanted nere, at least. The moment
being auspicious, Tom sounded tho
master of tho Deer Trace coal lands on
the reorganization scheme, and found
notnlng but complaisance. Whatever
rearranKement commended Itself to
Tom and his fiither, nnd to Colonel
Duxbury Farley, would be acceptubla
to ttie Major.
'I reckon I can trust you, Tom, and
my ve'y good friend, youh fatheh, to
watch out for Ardea'a little fo'tune,"
was the way he put it. "I had planned
to a-lvo hor a little suhnrlae on her
wedding-day: suppose you have the
lawyohs make out that Mock of new
stock to Mistress Vincent Farley In
stead of to me?"
"Of course, Major Pahney. If you say
so. Dut wouldn't It he more prudent
to make It over in trust for her and
hor chlldron before sho becomes Mrs.
Farley?"
"Toll me, Tom, have you had youh
suspicion In that qua'teh, too? I'm
Bvcnhlnx in confidence to a family
friend, suh."
'It la Just as well to be on the safe
side," said Tom, evasively. There was
enoujrh of the uplift left to make him
reluctant to strike his enemy in the
dark.
"No, suh, that Isn't what I mean.
You've had youh suspicions aroused.
Tell me, sr.h, what they ere."
"Suppose you tell me yours. Major,"
smiled tho younger man.
Major Dabney became reflectively
reminiscent, "I don't know, Tom, and
that's the plain fact Looking back
veh ouh acquaintance, thah's nothing
In that young man for me to put a fln-
geh on; but. Torn, I tell you In confi
dence, suh, I'd give five yeahs of my
old life. If the good Lord has that many
mo' in His book for mo, if the blood
of the Dabneys didn't have to be uh
mingled with that of these heah Yan-
ees. I would, for a fact, suh."
"Then you'll let me place your third
of the new stock In trust for her and
er children?" he said. "That will be
best, on all accounts. By the way.
where shall I find Miss Ardea?"
"lobe's about the place, somewhahs,"
was the reply; and Tom passed on to
the electric-lighted lobby to send his
card in search of her.
Chance saved him the trouble. Some
one was playing In tho muslo-room and
he recognized her touch and turned
aside to stand under the looped por
tieres. She was alone, and again, as
many times before. It came on him with
the sense of discovery that she was
radiantly beautiful that for him aha
had no peer among women. There
was no greeting, no welcoming light in
the slate-blue eyes; and she did not
seem to see when he came nearer and
offered to shake hands.
Tve been talking to your grandfath
er for an hour or more," he began, "and
I was JUBt going to send my card after
you. Haven't you a word of welcome
for me. Ardea?
"Do you think you deserve a welcom.i
from any self-respecting woman?" bIi
asked. In low tones.
-Why shouldn't I?" he demanded
"What havs I dune to make everv

Tou know very well what you have
done," she said evenly. "If you had a

would know what a dastardly thing you
are ooing now in coming here to see

"Well, I don't," be returned, doczed
ly. "And another thing: I'm not to bo

been lying about me this time?"

"Has no one told you what h.ut,en

"No."
"1 used to think I knew you," she
said, faltering, "but I don't. Why don't
you desplso hypocrisy and doublo-dcal-Ing
as you used to?"
"I do; more heartily than ever."
"Tom, it Is a terrible thin to say
and your punishment will be terrible.
Put you must marry Nancy!"
He was standing on the brink of the
cliff, looking down on Paradise Valle.,
spread like a silver-etched may far
below In the moonlight The flare and
sough of the furnace at the iron-works
came and went with regular Intermit
tency; and Just beyond the group of

"It Is a shame for you to speak of
such things to me, Tom. Consider
what I have endured what you have
made me endure. People said I was
standing by you, condoning a sin that
no right-minded young woman should
condone. I bore It because I thought,
X believed, you were sorry. And st
that very time you were deceiving me
decelvtag every one. You have drag
ged me In the very dust of Bhame!"
"There Is no shame save what wo
make for ourselves," he retorted. "One
day, according to your creed, we shall
stand naked before your God, and be
fore each other. In that day you wilt
know what you have done to me to
night No, dont speak, please; let me
finish. The last time we were together
you gave me a strong word, and and
you kissed me. For the sake of that
word and that kiss t went out Into the
world a different man. For the little
fragment of your love that you gave
ir.e then, I have lived a different man

heartbreaking, soul-destroying. She

had fled. She was cold with a horrible
fear lest he should find out and she
should be forever lost in the bottomless'
pit of humiliation.
It wus the sight of the little orange

CHAPTER XXIII.
If Thomas Gordon, opening his eyes
to consciousness on the mid-week
morning, felt the surprise which might
naturally grow out of the sight of Ar
dea sitting In a low rocker at his bed
side, he did not evince It, possibly be
cause there were other and more per
plexing things for the tired brain to
grapple with first.
For the moment he did not stir nr
try to speak. There was a long dream
somewhere in the past tn which he had
been lost in me darkness, stumbling
and groping and calling her to
come and lead him out to life and
lliiht. It must have been a dream, he
argued, and perhaps this was only a
continuation of it. Yes, no; she was
there in vls'ble presence, bending over
tiny eiiiuromery frame; and thev
were alone together.
"Ardea!" he said, tremulously.
She looked up, and her eyes were
like cooling wellsprlngs to quench the
fever fires in his.
"You are better," she said, rising.
I';l go and call your mother."
"Walt a minute." he pleaded; then
his hand found the bandage on hla
forehead. "What happened to me?"
"Don't you remember? Two men
tried to rob you last Saturday evening
as you were coming home. One of
them struck you."
"Saturday? And this Is
"This is Wednesday."
The cool preclseness of her replies
cut him to the heart He did not need
to ask her why she had come. It was
mere nelghborltness, and not for him,
but for his mother. He remembered
the Saturday evening quite clearly
now: Japheth's shout; the two men
springing on him; the instant Just pre
ceding the crash of the blow when he
had recognized one of Ms assailants
and guessed the Identity of the other.
"It was no more than right that you
should come," he said, bitterly. "It
was the least you could do, since your

Ha ungrateful outburst had the effect
of stopping her. But she did not go
back to him.
"I owe your mother anything she
likes to ask," she affirmed, In the same
colorless tone.
"And you owe me nothing at all, you
would say. I might controvert that.
Put no matter; w have passed the
Saturday and have come to the Wed
nesday. Where is Norman? Hasn't
he been here?"
"He has been with you almost con
stantly from the first He was here
less than an hour ago."
"Where Is he now?"
She hesitated. "There la urgency of
some kind In your business affairs.
Your father spent the night in South
Tredegar; and a little while ago he
telephoned for Mr. Norman from the
iron-works, I think." She bad moved
away again, and her hand ias on the
di.or-knob.
"You are In a desperate hurry,
aren't you?" he gritted; though the
teeth-grinding was from tlve pain it
cost him to move. "Would you mind
bunding me that desk telephone before
you go?"
"If you wish to speak to some one,
perhaps I could do It for you," she sus
t'cHtcd, quite lu the trained nursa tone.
"If you could stretch your good-will

"Just ask what's going on; If It's

Tom, linking back on the pillows.
What the stenographer hud to say
took som little time, and Ardea'a col
r earns and went in hot flashes and
her eyes grew large and thoughtful as
she listened. When she put the e&r
! down and spoke to the sick man,
nee tana was kinder.
1 There Is an Important boalaaas
meeting going on over at the f;:mne
office, and Mr. Norman Is there with
your father," she said. "The sienog
rspher wants me to ask you about
ejine papers Mr. Norman thinks you
ruav have, and "
She stopped In defrence to the .
low pallor that was creeping like a cu
rious mask over the face of the man
in the bed. Through all the strain of
the last twenty hours she had held her
fcelf well In hand, doing for him only
what she might have done for a sick
and suffering stranger. Hut there wer;
limits beyond which love refused to be
driven.
"Tom!" she gasped, rising quickly to
go to him.
"Walt," he muttered; "let me pull
myself together. I I'm vaker than a
girl," he whispered. "Vlnce I mean
the thug, hit me a lot harder than ha
needed to. What was I saying? oh,
yes; the papers. Will you will you
go over there In the corner by the door'
and look behind the mopboard? You
will And a pleco of tt sawed so It will
come out. In the wall behind It there
ought to be a package."
She found It readily a thick packet
securely tied with heavy twine and a
little charred at the corners.
"That's It," he said, weakly. "Now
one more last favor; please send Aunt
'Phrony up as you go down. Tell her
I want my clothes."
"You are not going to get up?" she
said.
"Yes, I must; I'm due this minute at
that meeting down yonder."
"Indeed, you shall do no such Insane
thing!" she cried. "What are you
thinking of!"
"Listen!" he commanded. "My fath
er has worked hard all his life, and he's
right old now, Ardea. If I should fall
him but I'm not going to. Please send
Aunt 'Phrony."
She consented finally, and as she was
leaving him, she said:
"I hope your mother Is still nsleep.
She was here with you all nlsht, an 1

COST OF OCEAN GREYHOUNDS.

One of tho moat striking features In
connection with the North Atlantic
shipping trade during the last ten or
twelve years has been the great in
crease in the cost of fast steamship?,
says the London Times. In 1899 the
Augusta Victoria cost about 200,000.
The Deutschland of the Hamburg
American Company cost 550,000 and
the Kaiser In Augusta Victoria nearly
700,000. The Mauretania Hnd Lusl
tunta cannot ha.ve cost much less than
1,400,000 each, and the two new
giant vessels which are being built
for the Whlta Star Line service be
tween Southampton ' and New York
will probably cost nearly as much.
It Is somewhat curious in connection
with this point that the Hamburg
American company should he able to
obtain consistently better results than
the Norddoutschcr Lloyd, and perhaps
one explanation of this is to be found
in the fact that the fleet of the Hamburg-American
company consists main
ly of the Intermediate type, whereas
tho fleet of the North German Lloyd,
like that of the Cunard company, con
tains a high percentage of vessels of
the express type. The theory used
to be held that the larger the steamer
the greater the profit, but thera ap
pears to be a limitation to the appli
cation of this theory in the case of
tho large fast vessels which have been
recently introduced. It is not incon
ceivable that tho general tendency of
the trade will In future lie in the di
rection of Improving the accomoda
tion offered theteerage passengers,
who, after all, are the backbone of the
business.

that there is no better way of bleach

than by putting a few leaves of jlm

jection to this practice, as a very un
pleasant odor Is the result. This can
be removed, however, by placing thi

them, or by repeated rinsings, but all
this is troublesome, and therefore

Herbert Spencer offered a character

he suggested that all the advanatages

Many small pigs are stunted In

The condition of the ewes at breed

bright for a choice lot of strong

Tho cockerels which are to be
marketed should, of course, be fed

as breeders should be kept from the
pullets until about six weeks before
the eggs are wanted for batching.
A good hand separator takes most
of the valuable butter fat out of the
milk; indeed, a perfect machine should
take practically all of tho butter fat
from the milk; but it leaves most of
the protein, which is tho most valu

Poorly drained soils always suffer

Some gardeners pack cauliflower
by drawing a few of the outer leaves
over them and tying the ends at the
tops.
Teach tho calf to drink and feed
whole milk for at least three weeks,

If watering in the garden becomes
necessary it is better to thoroughly
soak the soil onco a week than to
sprinkle every day for a month.
Commence in good season to make
the heifer's first milking period a

The roughage for calves should first
be fed at two or three weeks of ago,
when the calf begins to eat grain. Good
clean hay, either timothy, blue grass,
clover or alfalfa may be used.
Shep should be provided with shade
during the hot days. If there are no
shade trees on tho place build a shed
open on all sides on an elevation
where the wind will havo full access
to it
Dead vines at digging time are not
a reliable index to tho vitality of a
hill of potatoes, so the only safe, sure
way of obtaining the choicest seed is
to mark the vigorous plants while they
are in their prime.
If the conditions are favorable it is
not too late yet to sow a crop of cow
peas in the orchard. Tbey will servo
as a mulch during hot, dry weather,
and can be plowed under' to a good
advantage as a green manuro.
If you get a lot of old hens on your
hands you are sure to ba discouraged
before you know it, and say: "There
is no money in poultry, it is all a

poor hens, and old hens are always
poor hens.

The fowl that has free range gets s
large part of its living in the shape of
bugs and insects and is healthy and a

bone meal.
Tho farmer or fruit grower cannot
possibly reach tho highost success in
his business without the aid of the
birds (except, perhaps, tho English
sparrow) and yet they are often very
annoying during the ripening season
of the early fruits.
The man with a silo will be in a
position to congratulate himself this
winter aud we urge every farmer to
consider tho erection of a silo this
fall. No other means will provide
so much palatable and nutritious
feed from an ucrc of land.
Cnbbago plants are gross feeders
and can make use of all kinds of
manures. Thoso rich In potash and
nitrogen are especially desirable.
Moisture in plenty is also needed for
anything with such a large surface
foliage. Weeds and grass prevent
large heads from forming.
Do i.ot plant flower plants too closa
together. Verbenas should be at least
is inches apart; petunias the same;
phlox a foot; balsams a foot; pansies,
10 inches; zinnias IS inches; marigold
two feet; pnples 10 indies. If (lowers
tiro too close in the bed they will not
make ns thrifty a growth nor will tho
flowers be as largo nnd plentiful.
The best way to destroy faults in
an animal is to begin with his grand
parents. So the bet't way to destroy
weeds in next year's crops is to del-troy
their ancestors this year. In
doing this remember two things. If
your own field'- are clean you do not
spread weet' lo vour neighbor's
fields, and the b r i '-.mo to kill w eeds
is just before they appear above
ground.

HOW A DOCTOR CURED SCALP
DISEASE
"When I was ten or twelve years
old I had a scalp disease, something
like scald head, though it wasn't that.
I suffered for several months, and
most of my hair came out Finally
they had a doctor to see mo and ha
recommended the Cutlcura Remedies.
They cured me In a few weeks. I
have used the Cutlcura Remedies, also,
for a breaking out on my bands and
was benefited a great deal. I haven't
had any more trouble with tho scalp
disease. Miss Jessie F. Buchanan,
R. F. D. 3, Hamilton, Ga., Jan. 7, 1909."

shows for the last three seasons, and I
can cheerfully certify that they were
very effective in every case which
called for their use."
