SYNOPSIS.
Tommy Ardmore Nc\v York : millionaire
and owner of a great estate in North
Carolina , reaches Atlanta in search of a
pretty girl who winked at him as their
trains stood opposite each other two days I
before. On the depot platform he meets
his old fri nd , Harry Griswold , professor
in the University of Virginia , on his way
north.
CHAPTER I.-Cont.inued.
"Not if I endow all the chairs in the
university ! You've not only got to i
come , but you're going to be there ,
the day they arrive. "
Thomas Ardmore of New York and
Ardsley struck his heavy stick-he
always carried a heavy stick - smartly
on the cement platform in the stress
of his feeling. He was much shorter
than Griswold , to whom he was deep-
ly attached-for whom he had , indeed ,
the frank admiration of a' small boy
for a big brother. He sometimes
wondered how fully Griswold entered
into the projects of adventure which
he , in his supreme idleness , planned
and proposed ; but he himself had
never been quite ready to mount
horse or shake out sail and what
Griswold had said 'about indecision
rankled in his heart. He was sorry
now that he had told of this new en-
terprise to which he had pledged him-
self , but he grew lenient toward Gris-
wold's lack of sympathy as he re-
flected that the quest of a winking
girl was rather beneath the dignity
of a gentleman wedded not merely to
the law , but to the austere teaching
profession as well. In his heart he
forgave Griswold , but he was all the
more resolved to address himself stub-
bornly to his pursuit of the deity of
the car Alexandra , for only by finding
her could he establish himself in Gris-
wold's eyes as a man of action
capable of carrying through a scheme
requiring cleverness and tact.
Ardmore was almost painfully rich ,
but the usual diversions of the wealthy
did not appeal to him , and , having ex-
hausted foreign travel , he spent much
time on his estate in the North Caro-
lina hills , where he could ride all
day on his own land , and where he
read prodigiously in a huge library
that he had assembled with special
reference to works on piracy , a sub-
ject that had attracted him from early
youth.
It was this hobby that had sealed
his friendship with Griswold , who had
relinquished the practice of law , after
a brilliant start in his native city of
Richmond , to accept the associate pro-
fessorship of admiralty in the law de-
partment of the University of Vir-
ginia. Marine law had a particular
fascination for Griswold from its es-
sentially romantic character. As a
law student he had read all the de-
cisions in admiralty that the libraries
afforded , and , though faithfully serv-
ing the university , he still occasional-
ly accepted retainers in admiralty
cases of unusual importance. His lec-
tures were constantly attended by
students in other departments of the
university for sheer pleasure in Gris-
wold's racy and entertaining exposi-
tion of the laws touching the libeling
of schooners and the recovery of
jettisoned cargoes. Henry Maine
Griswold was tall , slender and dark ,
and he hovered recklessly , as he
might have put it , on the brink of
thirty. He stroked his thin brown
mustache habitually , as though to hide
the smile that played about his hu-
morous mouth-a smile that lay even
more obscurely in his fine brown eyes.
He did violence to the academic tradi-
tions by dressing with metropolitan
care , gray being his prevailing note ,
though his scarfs ventured upon bold
color schemes that interested his stu-
dents almost as much as his lectures.
The darkest fact of his life-and one
shared with none-was his experi-
ments in verse. From his undergrad-
uate days he had written occasionally
a little song , quite for his own pleas-
ure in versifying , and to a little sheaf
of these things in manuscript he still
added a few verses now and then.
"Don't worry , Ardy ' he was saying
to his friend as "all aboard" was
called , "and don't be reckless. When .
you get through looking for the wink-
ing eye , come up to Charlottesville
and we'll plan "The True Life of
Capt. Kidd" that is some day going
to make us famous. "
"I'll , wire you later , " replied Ard-
more , clinging to his friend's hand a ; .
moment after the train began to move.
Griswold leaned out of the vestibule
to wave a last farewell to Ardmore ,
and something very kind and gentle
and good to see shone in the law-
yer's eyes. He went into the car
smiling for he called Ardmore his
best friend , and he was amused by his
last : : words , which were always Ard

' rnore's last in their partings , and
were followed usually by telegrams
about the most preposterous -things ,
or suggestions for romantic adven-
tures , or some new hypothesis touch-
ing Capt. Kidd and his buried treas
ure. Ardmore never wrote letters ;
he always telegraphed , and he en
joyed filing long , mysterious and ex
pensive messages with telegraph oper-
ators in obscure places where a
scrupulous ten words was the frugal
limit.
Griswold lighted a cigar and opened
the afternoon Atlanta papers in the
smoking compartment. His eye was
caught at once by imperative head-
lines. It is not too much to say that
the eye of the continent was arrested
that evening by the amazing disclos-
ure , now tardily reaching the public ,
that something unusual had occurred
at the annual meeting of the Cotton
Planters' association at New Orleans
on the previous day. Every copy-
reader and editor , every paragrapher
on every newspaper in the land had
smiled and reached for a fresh pencil
as a preliminary bulletin announced
the passing of harsh words between
the governor of North Carolina and
the governor of South Carolina. It
may as well be acknowledged here
that just what really happened at the
Cotton Planters' convention will
never be knoWn , for this particular
meeting was held behind closed doors ,
and as the two governors were
honored guests of the association , no
member has ever breathed a word
touching an incident that all most
sincerely deplored. Indeed , no hint
of it would ever have reached the pub-
lic had it not been that both gentle-
men hurriedly left the convention hall ,
refused to keep their appointments to
speak at the banquet that followed
the business meetings , and were re
ported to have taken the first trains
for their respective capitals. It was
whispered by a few persons that the
governor of South Carolina had
taken a fling at the authenticity of
the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde-
pendence ; it was rumored in other
quarters that the governor of North I
Carolina was the aggressor , he having
-it was said-declared that a people
( meaning the freemen of the common-
wealth of South Carolina ) who were
not intelligent enough to raise their
own hay , and who , moreover , bought ,
that article in Ohio , were not worth
the ground necessary for their decent
interment. It is not the purpose of
this chronicle either to seek the truth
of what passed between the two gov-
ernors at New Orleans , or to discuss
the points of history and agriculture
raised in the statements just indi-
cated. As every one knows , the 20th
of May ( or was it the 31st ! ) , 1775 , is
solemnly observed in North Carolina
as the day ; , on which the patriots of
Mecklenburg county severed the re
lations theretofore existing between
them and his majesty , King George
the Third. Equally well known is the
fact that in South Carolina it is an
article of religious faith that on that

twentieth day of May , 1775 , the citi-
zens of Mecklenburg county , North
Carolina , cheered the English flag and
adopted resolutions reaffirming their
ancient allegiance to the British
crown. This controversy and the in-
adequacy of the South Carolina hay
crop must be passed on to the pamph-
leteers , with such other vexed ques-
tions as Andrew Jackson's birth-
place-more debated than Homer's
and not to be carelessly conceded to
the strutting sons of Waxhaw.
Griswold read of the New Orleans
incident with a smile while several
fellow-passengers discussed it in a
tone of banter. One of them , a gen-
tleman from Mississippi , presently
produced a flask , which he offered to
the others , remarking : "As the gov-
ernor of North Carolina said to the
governor of South Carolina , " which
was , to be sure , pertinent to the hour
and the discussion , and bristling with
fresh significance.
"They were both in Atlanta this
morning , " said the man with the
flask , "and they would have been
traveling together on this train if
they hadn't met in the ticket office
and nearly exploded with rage. "
The speaker was suddenly overcome
with his own humor , and slapped his
knee and laughed ; then they all
laughed , including Griswold.
"One ought to have taken the lower
berth and one the upper to make it
perfect , " observed an Alabama man.
"I wonder when they'll , get home. "
"They'll probably both walk to be
sure they don't take the same train , "
suggested a commercial traveler from
I Cincinnati , who had just come from
New Orleans. "Their friends are do-
ing their best to keep them apart.
They both have a reputation for being
quick on the trigger. "
"Bosh ! " exclaimed Griswold. "I'
dare say it's all a newspaper story.
There's no knife-and-pistol nonsense
in the south any more. They'll both
go home and attend to their business ,

The discussion had begun to bor < <
Griswold , and he went back to his
own section , having it in mind to re-
vise a lecture he was preparing on
"The Right of Search on the High
Seas. " It had grown dark , and thd
car was brilliantly lighted. There
were not more than half a dozen
other persons in his sleeper , and these
were . widely scattered. Having taken
an inventory of his belongings to be
sure they were all at hand , he be-
came conscious of the presence of a
young lady in the opposite section.
In the seat behind her sat an .old
colored women in snowy cap and
apron , who was evidently the young
lady's servant. Griswold was aware
that this dusky duenna bristled and
frowned and pursed her lips in the
way of her picturesque kind as he
glanced at her , as though his pres.
ence were an intrusion upon her mis
tress , who sat withdrawn to the ex -
treme corner of her section , seeking
its fullest seclusion , with her head
against a pillow , and the tips of he 1
suede shoes showing under her gray
traveling skirt on the further half of
the section. She twirled idly in uer
fingers a half-opened white rosebud-
a fact unimportant in itself , but des
tined to linger long in Griswold's
memory. The pillow afforded the hap
piest possible background for her
brown head , her cheek bright with
color , and a profile clear-cut , and just
now-an impression due , perhaps , to
the slight quiver of her nostrils and
the compression of her lips-seemingly
disdainful of the world.
The black woman rose and minis
tered to her mistress , muttering in
kind monotone consolatory phrases
from which "chile" and "honey" occa-
sionally reached Griswod's ears. The
old mammy produced from a bag sev-
eral toilet bottles , a fresh handker-
chief , a hand mirror and a brush ,
which she arranged in the empty seat.
"Thank you , Aunt Phoebe , I'm feel
ing much better. Just let me alone
now , please. "
The girl put aside the white rose
for a moment and breathed deeply of
the vinaigrette , whose keen , pungent
odor stole across the aisle to Gris
wold. She bent forward , took : up the
hand mirror , and brushed the hair
. .
away from her forehead with half a
dozen light strokes. She touched her
handkerchief to the cologne flask ,
passed it across her eyes , and then
took up the rose again and settled
back with a little sigh of relief. In
her new upright position her gaze
rested upon Griswold's newspapers ,
which he had flung down . . on the empty
half of his section. One of them had
fallen open and lay with its outer
page staring with the bold grin of
display type.
TWO GOVERNORS AT WAR !
What Did the Governor of North
Carolina Say to the Governor
of South Carolina ?
The color deepened in the girl's
face ; a slight frown gathered in her
smooth forehead ; then she called the
colored woman and a brief colloquy
followed between them. In a moment
Griswold was addressed in a tone and
manner at once condescending . and
deferential.
"If yo' please , sun , would yo' all 'low
my mistus t' look at yo' newspapahs ? "
"Certainly. Take them along. "
Griswold noted with surprise the
girl's immediate absorption in the
telegrams from New Orleans relating
to the difficulty between the two
governors.
As she read she lost , he thought ,
something of her splendid color , and
at one point in her reading her face
went white for a moment , and Gris
wold saw the paper wrinkle : under the
tightening grasp of her hands. The
tidings from New Orleans had un
doubtedly aroused her indignation.
She seemed to lose account of her
surroundings , and several times Gris
wold was quite sure that he heard her
half exclaim : "Preposterous ! Infa
mous ! "
When she had finished the New Or-
leans telegrams she cast the offend
ing newspapers from her , then , recall
ing herself , summoned the black
woman , and returned them to Gris
wold , the dusky agent expressing the
elaborate thanks of her race for his
courtesy. The girl had utterly ignored
Griswold , anu she . . now pulled down
the curtain at her elbow with a snap
and turned her face away from him.

THE LATEST DIETARY SYSTEM
Enables One to Enjoy All Culinary
Luxuries Withcgp Taxing
Digestion.
Spreading the menu over the whole
day , commencing with fish for break-
fast , joint and vegetables for dinner
and desserts for supper , is the latest
dietary system.
The discoverer or adapter of this
new regime found that it had a most
beneficial effect on his own health ,
and many of his friends have since
become firm disciples of what they
call the "one-meal , one-course" sys-
tem.
"Modern meals are too much of a
jumble , " said a well-known specialist.
"Fish and pork , fruit and cutlets , all
taken at one sitting , must be bad
for one.
"The time necessary for , digestion
varies with every different kind of
good , and it is certain that the more
we mix our foods the further we are
straying away from the habits of
natural man.
"To take a hearty meal of one spe-
cial dish is the best possible method
of feeding , but we have so got into
our four and five course habits , and
have become so accustomed to what
I may call the pleasant sequence of
the menu , that it requires a very
strong effort to self-denial to confine
ourselves to one dish.
"But under the 'one-meal , one-
course' idea the pleasant sequence is
not forfeited. It is spread over the
whole day , instead of being rushed
through in half an hour. One can
enjoy all the culinary luxuries with.
out overtaxing the digestion. "
To Hem Table Linen.
A housewife who makes her own
table linen and towels has hit on a
trick to lessen the labor. ' She adjusts
a small hemmer and a fine needle on
her sewing machine , removes the
thread from the upright and runs the
napkin or whatever it is , previously
cut by the drawn threads , through
the hemmer. This simple method of
turning the hem and pricking the
stitch holes makes the hand work
very easy. Running the cloth through
the machine , too , takes out the stiff-
ness.
American Salad Dressing.
One level teaspoon of salt , one-half
of a teaspoon of white pepper , one-
half of a teaspoon of dry mustard , one
teaspoon of sugar , one teaspoon of
onion Juice , one tablespoon of lemon
juice , two tablespoons of white wine
vinegar and nine tablespoons of oil.
Mix the dry ingredients and add the
lemon juice , then add the vinegar and
onion juice ; lastly add the oil in the
same manner as for French dressing.
An Ironing Hint.
When ironing a flounced petticoat ,
iron all the part under the flounce on
the wrong side. The smooth polish
would go for nothing hidden by the
flounce , while on the wrong side of
the hem it resists the soil somewhat ,
thus requiring less frequent launder-
ing.
Fig Filling.
For the filling put two cupfuls cl
chopped figs into a double boiler , add
half a cupful of sugar , one-third cup-
ful of boiling water , pinch of salt a
tablesponful of butter and one table-
spoonful of lemon juice. Cook until
of consistent to spread. I

The Spots Disappeared. .
Mrs. : Dolan lived in a district which
was not as favorable for the outdoor
household experiments recommended
by the Ladies' Helper as it might have
been. This fact Mrs. Dolan was rapid- X
ly assimilating , and in a manner not
*
so uncommon as it might be she .
blamed the estimable periodical for
her difficulties.
"I wisht I had a holt o' that woman
that runs the 'Handy Hints' depart-
ment , " she remarked to her husband
one morning after an early excursion
into the back yard , whence she re ,
turned in high dudgeon.
"I t'ought you fought , she was a
I
grand wan , " said Mr. Dolan , cautious
'
ly testing his cup of tea. '
"Well , I've changed me mind , as
I've the rights to do , " replied his wife.
"She said to put sody on thim stains
in the tablecloth , and 1'ave it out over-
night on the line , an' they'd be gone
entirely whin morning come. Sure' 'tis
the tablecloth that's gone-the de-
saving woman that she Is ! " - Youth's ; /

Senator La Follette , apropos of cer
tain scandals , said at a dinner In Mad-
ison : "These things recall the legisla-
tor who remarked to his wife , with a
look of disgust : 'One of those land
lobbyists approached me today with
another insulting proposition. "
"The wife , a young and pretty wom-
an , clapped her hands. 'Oh , good ! '
she cried. 'Then I can have that sable
stole after all , can't I , dear ? ' "
It seems as though women's styles
change so often merely to keep men's
noses down to the grindstone.
When a man dresses like a sloucL
It's a pretty good sign that he either
ought to get married or get divorced.
A stitch today may save a patch to
morrow.
WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.
A physician , of Portland , Oregon ,
-E-
has views about food. He says : " . - - -
"I have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick , but that we
owe it to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health , especially by
hygienic : and dietetic laws.
"With such a feeling as to my duty
I take great pleasure in saying to the
public that In my own experience and
also from personal observation I have
found no food equal to Grape - ' uts.
and that I find there is almost no limit .
to the great benefits this food will .
bring when used in all cases of sick-
ness and convalescence.
"It is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use of Grape-
Nuts. To persons in health there is
nothing so nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach , especially at break-
fast , to start the machinery of the hu
man system on the day's work.
"In cases of indigestion I know that
a complete breakfast can be made of
Grape-Nuts and cream and I think it is
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. I also know the
great value of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach is too weak to digest other
food.
"This is written after an experience " -
of more than 20 years : , treating all '
manner of chronic .and acute ' " "
' diseases - . . .
and the letter is written vOluntarily
on my part without any request for it. " i
