On every rnlny ilay tlicro Is additional
work for tlio attendants of the InrKO bll-
llaril parlors. Those who play the popular
three-ball game , relates the New York Hall
and Express , have uitquestionaljly noticed
how tlio cushions of a table are affected by
tlio weather. 1'artlculnrly Is this so when
a drizzling rain prevails outside. It Is then
that tlio cushions are found to be Inactive
and slow. Ten years ago It was not thought
pcsslblo to make a billlaid table fast with
out an expensive overhaul , which meant
that the use of the table would have to be
temporarily dispensed with. Now , howovcr ,
It Is possible to put u table In first-class or
der In less than an hour. An Immense Hat
Iron , well heated , Is used , and In the hand
of a competent man a few turns around the
ureen surface will soon take all the moisture
out of the cloth. The hot Hut Iron is par
ticularly serviceable on a rainy day.
None of the old-time billiard experts
thought of thu-possibilities ot a hot Iron un
til John Hoberts , the crack Ilngllsh cue hanJ-
ler , came to this country to play a series
of Raines with Frank Ives. It was the In
troduction to this country of the flat Iron
and everybody present at the match latiKhed ,
but were astonished , nevertheless , when an
assistant brought out a blK flat iron and
handed It to the Ilriton. The Iron was ns
hot as the enthusiasm for Ives. and when
Hobcrts started In to navigate the heated
mass over the green table , the audience
broke Into a hearty roar. It was noticed
however , that Hoberts played at his best
Immediately after ho had manipulated the
Iron , lloberts won that nlRlifs strlns. and
won It handsomely. After the strife all the
veterans of the chalk string crowded around
the visitor and asked him what the dickens
ho muant by astonishing them In that way.
Ho proved to them that a hot Irou when
applied to cushions made them Ifvely. That
was the beginning of the novelty In this
country.
The attendants at the local billiard par
lors have made an addition to Hobert'H
knowledge , however. They have discovered
that not only docs the hot Iron Improve the
bed of the table when run over the cloth ,
but It uUo removes the chalk that clings to
where tlui ball strikes the rubber and which
liumptlmes steadily refuses to bo cluanod
away by the brufh. Chalk on the cushion *
does nut mean much to the average player ,
but the experts know that It frequently IIBH
an effect on the ball's true anglo , nnd Inter
ference , nu matter how small , is discour
aging to ttio accomplished player.

nt the ollleo ami sift tulegrams ami write

go to the Trenionl-Ii'ortVjs ball out on Fifty-

that ho wanted to KOto Tremont-Kord'p

of liellevhiK that the only peraon In the world
worth secitiK was Helen Trevor , the only
thing worth orliiR for was her love.
HuntliiKton had believed this for a much
lonfior tlnio than 1m knew , but ho had not
realUecl It with the full t-ttenRth of con
viction till two months ago , when ho hud
learned , from Helen herself , that the thing
ho most cared for was -the thing ho could
ne\cr .
He wao thinking of thlo as he had never
ceased to think of It ton ono moment ulnco
ho realized It , with and pain and longing ,
and wishing ho might have Fccn her that
night with ths frcah color on her checks and
the sweet light In her eyes ; wishing he might
have heard the yoft rustic of her silken gown
and caught a whlft of the rose she waa wear

tl'o knob a wrench with his strong , firm hand
p ' the holt sllpned home. There way an
other click beside the clicking of the boll.
mm wiien IIunlniKtcn drew his hand away
the knob came with It. 7 The fierce wrench
lud been too much for the rusty screws.
Confound people who'won't keep their
houses In repair , " he said , ei-osaly. as he
torsc-d the knob dexterously through the nar-
low , broken pane In the transom overhead.
lie listened to hear the bolt nlriko the cobble-
stoma In the street without , and. from a
iharp little Jingle that accompanied the thud
of the heavy knob , realized that ho had
thrown his latch key along with It.
"Confound me for an Idiot , " he said , laugh
ing at the ptcdlcamcnl lie had placed hlin-
sulf in.
It wca not exactly a laughing matter ,
though , to be caught at that hour of the
night between the Inner and the outer doors
it a quiet boarding house , and with no
ncans nf opcrlng cither. Having no latch
key , nf course It was Impossible for him to

on the outsldo door it was equally \m \ a-
alble for him to open that nml ring the bell ,

tiie nlRht. f * " <
With thought of a man' * one resourceIn
a case of emergency , Hmitjnijton felt in hla
trousers' iiorkot for Ills- knife , only to re
.nember that one of "tliw r.rw men at the
ifllce had borrowed It nnil forgotten to return
It. He got out his rlnirpt loys and Jingled

Tilnded him of hi enyrldpn opener and he
trlecl Its slim silver bladiui the keyhole , but
It went all the way through , meeting no
rr.ilatnnco. Clearly that , too. was a failure- .
Ho waited awhile , hoping something would
turn up. that some longer belated boarder
night coma In. or that ho should hear some
one stirring within. Neither was very likely
to occur , he reflected , and ho felt it would
have been next to Impossible to make him
self heard , even If ho had been willing to
arouse the Inmates by pounding with hie
'tnueltles on the door. The sleeping rooms
.rore all upstairs und nothing short of an
explosion cuuld arouse the servants in the
jaiement. The boy had been known to
sleep through the ringing of the dcor bell
n more than one occasion , though thu gong
lounded directly over his head. Clearly
Muntlngtou realized tha tnere was nothing
: or him to do hut remain a prisoner In the
vestibule until the servuuta opened the doors
In the morning.
The prtn.icct was * not a very cheerful one ,
'mt Huntlngton remembered things that had
been worse and resigned himself to his fate
with the btdt grace possible to a tired man
who had learned to appreciate the blessings
. ) f creature comfort. He did not know
whether to be sorry or glad of the broken
iano In the Irenaoin. It no doubt kept the
- ntry from being stuffy , but It was "an
\igcr and a nipping air" that made Its way
in through the opening.
As ho snuggled down Into p. corner on the
Moor , pulling his overcoat collar up about
his throat preparatory to making a try a ;
letst for a little sleep , Huntlngton was re
minded of the night he had spent en a bench
near the fountain In Madison Squuro. it
vs a long time ago now the first night he
had come to Now York. He had hud only 50
cents In his pocket when he got off the ferry
at the foot of Desbrosses street , not enough
to pay for a night'.s lodging and breakfast
In the morning , so ho had made Ma way
up Ilroadway and spent the night in the
pnrk. The next morning ho got a square
meal at a little rcstuunnt around on Fourth
avenue , and wrote the Ktory of his night
out , putting In a pretty good fahc about a
pair of sparrows that had spent the night
In hla coat pockets out of sympathy for his
lonillncfis. Hold the Btory to the Sun , and
well , his fortune was not made exactly.
but lie slept Indoors that night , and. had
continued to do ao thereafter. The fortune
a moderate one came gradually , and with
It a more than ordinary degree of fame.
Huntlngton was thinking of these things
as ho sat there In the chill of the entry ,
waiting for sleep to come to hla tired eye ,
hut the dull aching of his heart made him
ask himself what It was all worth , the
struggle and the tu.ssle , the fame and the
fortune , since they had. .not given him the
greatest thing in the WnrlH the love of the
ono woman whom he ; hqft loved. For the
hundredth for the thousandth time , per
haps. during the past' two months ho set
hliaaolf calmly to review the matter , hoping
to discover In what particular he had failed
wlureln he had fallen ort" mintlngton
hid passed beyond Ibe.yearn of youthful
Impetuosity ; he was a * man , with all of n
man's clcarnmi of Judgment , and his good
senee placed him beyoiiil lle reach of vanity :
hut. consider the matter ps ho would , hia
thoughts still brought him back to the
same starting point. f-Wleh Trevor did not
love him simply because s'sho did not love
him. , i -i
That Is what ho had told himself at first.
and ho had said at th itfno It was "only a
woman's reason ; " but'/tlio / .more he thought
about It the more convinced had he become
that It was a very convpr > hpn lve as well as
a very comprehensible tpa'b Ji. Helen did not
love him , and was honest .enough to say BO ,
not beating- about the hush for excuses
which meant the same thing , no matter how
they might sound.
Huntlngton had mot Helen Trevor three
years before at n country house party up In
the Ca ( skills. She was a debutante that
season , and Huntlngton always remembered
her as ho a\v her Unit , standing In a little
bit of rustic archway one early morning.
There ' were morning-glory vines tangled
above her head , and she held one of the
rojy trumpet flowers between her lips. He
had loved her even then ; loved her fresh
young beauty that showed In her nwaylng ,
lithe figure and her clear gray eyes , He
never aw morning glories after that with
out thinking of her , as ha nnver saw her
without thinking of them , graceful glork i
of the morning , with gentle , delicate beauty
iwrlllng In their throats.
Ho had seen a great deal nf her durlns
thu house party days , and afterwards , when
lu > came f > town for the season. She hnd
not lacked for admlrer . Most of them were
younger men than Ilimtlrston , and tiomo of
them wcro very coed fellows , Huntlnuton
had watched the suit of two or threeof them
with Interest , never quite deciding why they
hnd failed , with their money , birth , position
and character to back them. There are
some thliifts that a man never quite under
stands , a-id chief of these Is a woman's
renaon. The better the man , too , the less
hu umlerstpi d In this matter. Hut this Is
neither hero for there. Htintlnxton watched
Helen clccoly a , the. weeks went by , telling
hlnwlf lit was understanding her very
well , She was young and did not know
her own mind yet ; ho was going to give her
time. Ho felt as If It would not be quite
honorable1 to show his own hand ton soon :
It would bo Inking advantage of her youth
and Inexperience.
"Heller let her have her swing , " he had
said. "If she likes me I'll keep ; but It may
bo ono of those younger fellows , and I don't
want to stand In her way. "
So he had taken a bade seat , ns he called
It. but In spite of the admiration that was
showered U | on her Huntlngton felt that she
had been vrry good to him. She had found
time to read his books and learn bis songi
and hear the opeins that he liked. She did
not break et garments for him ho did not
want that she should hut now and then he
would find a blank on her card If he came
In late at n ball , and ho would tell him rlie-
thought ho would be coming. Once or twice
of a quiet Sunday morning she had risen
early to walk with him out to the calhr.lral
to hear the music , or maybe down town to
Trlnltv or nrace church , and she would seem
mi juyiiun mill so origin on inrsr * little outIngs -
Ings , filling his whole week with gladness.
Once llnutlfgton had fancied these little
acts of kindness might mean that Helen
loved him. He had thought so very strongly
the year fluV.MS abroad when now and then
at long Intervals ho would get a little note
from her. written on thin , glazed hotel
paper , telling In a few short sentences
where she was and what she was doing.
Usually the note would wind up with some-
thlni ; like this ;
"I went today to the little church you told
mo about. I wnd a leaf from the vine that
grows over the chancel window , just to re
mind you of your own vlrlt here. The pingIng -
Ing was doubtless very fine , and I dare nay
you wllf think me beyond the pale If I tell
you the inuMc nt Ornce church that early
morning last March was much sweeter. "
"The child loves me , " Huntlngton had said
to himself then , and after letteia like this
had come noveral times he wrote to her and
told her he loved her and asked her to be bin
wife. He remembered the letter , every word
of It. Just ns lie had written. He had re
called It n bundled times , wondering If there
could bo any doubt In her mind nt < to Its
full meaning. It was the llrrt real love let
ter he had ever written , and he told himself
It was a perfectly hlrnlghtforward one. It
had begun by telling hla love for her , very
simply , but very forcibly , ho thought. "I
don't mean to whine about It and make her
love me out of pity. " he said as he wrote.
Ho said that , while ho hnd loved her from
the first moment ho saw her. he hnd not told
l-.er before , not wishing to coerce her affec
tion or prejudice her choice. Ho raid he had
not meant to wiltc thlto her , had not meant
to tell her EO teen , wishing her to have full
liberty to fcloct with all the world before
her wherein to choope , but tnat lomethlng
in her little letters had made him very hippy
because they made him feel that she was not
altogether different to him. Ho told her ,
however , not to hurry about replying to his
"question. He was willing' to wait , leaving
her perfectly free , and Unit even after she
replied. If < he did not feel quite satisfied or
If she met any man whom she thought she
could love more. i ' .ic mui't not hesitate to
write that P'JO had been mistaken. There
was not very much more of the letter , ex
cept that It wound up by telling hlo age ,
mine little fart ? about hla family , and the
amount of Ills property.
On the whole , It was what Huntlngton
called a very sensible letter. He felt that he
bad dealt very fairly by Helen. defcrrlnR to
her Judgment and discretion rather than
overpowering her affections. He knew that
was not the ordinal y way of treating
women , but ho knew aim that Helen wno no
ordinary woman , and ho told himself that
ho admired her greal good sense ay much
nsi he loved her sweet womanliness * .
Though ho had told her she need not hurry
with a reply to his question the next
steamer brought him a letter from Helen. It
was rather a longer letter than he had ever
had from her , written upon some other thin ,
glazed hotel paper and In her same firm ,
black chlrography. She began by thanking
Ilmitlngton for his goodness to her always ,
but especially for liU love for her. She
spoke of his offer as a compliment far beyond
her expectation or her deserts. Other men
had asked her to marry them , she said , but
hla asking her was different. He was netlike
like other nu-a to her ; ho seemed In so many
WJM higher ami better than they.
On the whole It was on odd sort of letter ,
auch as he had never fancied her writing ,
and It puzzled him not a little. Hut her re
fusal of him was direct enough. He had no
trouble In um'erdtanding. "I am sorry , "
she had written , "If anything I have ever
said or done has led you to believe that I
loved you. If I have done this , pray forgive
mo. ( never Intended It , and , much as I
value your regard , your friendship , I could
never think of becoming your wife. "
Yes. Huntlnston had understood that part
of the letter clearly enough , and ho thought
lie understood the conclusion , which read :
"Perhaps I shall write you before long that
I have met a man whom I Intend to marry. "
"It must bo young March , " Huntlngt.cn
had thought. "I know ho has followed her
to Kurope. God grant he may be worthy of
her. "
It was this thought that had made him
Send Helen the answer that he did , trying to
be very bravo and magnanl.iious , resigning
hltf hope of her as an anchorite might have
done. And that had been the end of It , au
Tar as she was concerned , be told himself.
He fancied sue would be very happy with
Mirch and ho funded himself growing old
without her. Ho wrn going to be very good
to her always to her and her children
and ho told himself he must keep her from
finding out how ho loved her. He would
make a bravo fight and ho would bo very
manly and honorable. Tlmre arc some men
\\.io ' never know that It IH not always best to
bo what they call "manly and honorable. "
Hut this Is what Huntlngtou meant to do
There was to be no whining ; he would not
let the world know that It hud ceased to
move for him. He had liU life to llvo and
he must n > aki > up Ills mind to llvo It alone.
This Is what he told himself when Helen's
letter came and tlil.i in what ho had told
himself every day since , but every minute
of every hour since be had told himself Hut
he could not do It. Now that he knew IIP
must do It , It secined harder than ever , and
It seemed hardest of all that evening u
week ago now when ho walked Into the
little boarding house dining room and onw
Helen and her mother sitting at the round
tahlo by the window.
"You ? Hero , In New York , and In this
pension ? " he had said , going over to them
at once.
"Yes , at last , " the girl said , putting her
hand In his and looking up at him qulto
frankly. "We have Just landed , you know ,
and as we are going ao.ith for the winter
mother and 1 concluded we would not open
the house Just for a few days. "
"Only for a few days ? " ho asked. "Then
when are you leaving ? "
"In a week , " who said.Vo only wanted
to stop for . gllmrwo of friends. I am glad
to ace you among the first. Wo had hardly
hoped to. I did not know you lived here. "
"Yes , " ho said , absently. "Only for a
week , and you have engagements every day ,
perhaps. "
"Yog , " she had answered. "I am afraid
so. There wcro so many men on thu eicamer ,
you know. "
"March was one of them , perhaps ? "
"Ytw. "
So he had not been mistaken , Huntlngton
told hlmiiclf.
Yes. the struggle had been hardest after
lhat. How he had gotten through the wenk
ho never know. And now was rome the last
day of It. Ho had scarcely spoken to Helen
after that first evening. Thcro had been
only an occtalonal gllmpno of her going- and
coming , and that morning wlion ho had
written her a note nuking If Hlits would b
good enough to cave him a dance at the
Tremont-Ford's who had written back that
she was afraid she would not be able to dose
so because of the men on the atoamcr whom
-ho had promised. She gald , too , that In the
event of her not seeing hlrn who would Ju t
bid him goodby for herself and her mother.
She would Icavo Now York by an early train
the next morning.
It was tbo hope tnat after ull utie might
have remembered him and saved him n dance
Junt for old ( lino's sake that "purred Hunt-
ItiRton all day ; It was the knowledge that ho
had lost even the chnnce of seeing Helen
again before she left that hurt him now ,
Honv thinking of this as ho sal there
In the little entry ; thinking that ho could not
give her up ; thinking that he should like to
have a chance to make one- more effort at
winning her before it wn too late ; thinking
on and on till by and by he fell asleep.
When his eyes rioted he went on dreaming
about her , and , presently , when the sound
of a key In the outer door awakened him ho
started up , feeling In a vague , half-conscious
sort nf way that It was Helen coming.
"Oood night. " Ho heard the voice , her
voice , and the door opened slowly , letting her
Into the dim. half-light.
"Helen : " he erled , staggering forward ; his
fret and llmlu were numb \\llh cold and the
long confinement.
"You ! " she erled. shrinking away from
him , su.ldenl > slamming the door behind her.
The horrible wlRnlfleance of her tone Btrnck
Huntlngton's quick ear.
"I am not drunk , " he mid , with n laugh ,
"though I don't wonder that you thought t < o.
I simply wrenched the knob from the outer
door and In towing It over the trail ram pent
my key along with It. I should probably
have been hero all night If you hnd not come
to rescue me. I am glad of the Imprison
ment , 1'owever. since It has > ; lvcu me nu
opportunity to say goodby to you at least. "
He spoke qulto calmly , and the girl walled.
"If > on will let me , " he wild , holding out
his hand , " 1 shall open the door for you. "
"Oh. " Fhe wild , and there wan a strange
port of Intonation to her voice , "and 1 have
left my key In the latch outride ! "
Huntlngton'n heart gnvo a sudden bound
then the thought of the unplearnntiieas of the
situation for her made him ashamed of him
self.
"Then wo are both prisoners , ho said ,
gently ; "but day Is breaking , and the
servants will BOOM open the doors. Io your
think you can hold out until then if I fold
my coat Into a neat for you over there In
the corner ? "
"Iu there no pot-slblu way of getting In ? "
Helen nt-lced.
"No , " ho said , "I nm afraid not , until
morning. Hut It can be nrranso.l without
any trouble then. The boy will open the
door before the other servants are out. and
I can take bin } npstalm to carry my coat. "
"Thank you , " sh ? said. Ho had not told
her that she could get to her own room
before the boy came down , but she under
stood. Helen wondered hrrsolf at her own
rnlm acceptance of the situation , but some
how she felt as If harm or feat of barm
could never comu to her acaln.
"I am afraid you will bo onM without your
coat. " she said , as lluntluion ; folded It
for her.
"No , " said he , "I shall be right as n
trivet.
Ho folded his arms and stood leaning In
the corner opposite , looking Jmvn at her.
Somehow he felt strangely .it peace with
all the world. All the pMn and longing
of the past two mouths had rolled away ,
and ut last he was happy. He felt perhaps
as the dying Christian feels who kisses for
the last time the blessed crucifix. Tomor
row , In a few liouns , Helen would be gone
away from him forever , but now she was
there beside him , so close that ho might
stretch out and touch her hand.
For n long time the two were silent , a
silence that seemed somehow strangely
vocal. Hut by and by they fell to talking.
Ho asked her about Kurope , about her
travels , and almost before he knew it they
were ulk'ng ' about old tlmas , the first days
of their meeting , the walks they had taken
together , the books they had read , and sud
denly daylight was peeping In over the
transom.
.Something.else was happening , too. With
out on the steps was the sound of a heavy

"It Is old Mason coming home a little
later than usual , " said llnntington. "Get
up and put my coat about you. It la

"So ho will not disturb us , " nald Helen.
"Perhaps ho will ring the bell , " Huntington -
ton said.
"No ; here 'tis In keyhole , " and a clumsy
hand thrust In the key and stumbled within
the entry.
Huntlngton stood before Helen , fending
her , but old Mason was too far gone to sec.
Ho managed to slip the key In the next
bolt , however , and staggered through the
door.
"Now , " whispered Huntliigton , thrusting
his foot Into the opening , as the old man
swung the door back and stumbled up
stairs.
"Now you may " Huntington began again ,
standing aside to let Helen pass him. llul
In that sudden moment the strange sense
of peace seemed slipping from him , and
his love rose up and conquered him.
"No , I cannot let you go , " he cried , taking
her in bis arms and folding her close to
him. "Oh , love of my life , 1 cannot give you
up without telling you. I fling my manli
ness and my honor to the winds. Though
you are pledged to another , wcro you mar
ried ten times 'over , I should tell you just
the same. I love you , I love you. If you
had gone away In the morning I should
never have told you , but now I ask you to
remember , through good and evil , through
sunshine and through storm , there IK one
man who loved you and who will love you
forever. Promise me yon will remember , "
be said , unfolding his arms and holding her
away from him.
"I shall not bo apt to forget when It IH
the only thing In the world that I rare to
remember , " the girl said softly , turning her
face up to his.
"Helen ! " he erled. Joyously.
"Yea , " ehe said very softly , but he heard ,
for her head was on his breast.
"And you are not to marry March ? "
"No. "
"And yoii do love mo ? "
"I have Jovcd yon always. "
"Then why did you write mo that letter ? "
he cried.
The girl laughed softly. "Some time I
shall tell you , " HIO aald. "but just now 1
must say goodnight and go upstairs and
tell mother we need not go south after nil. "
"My love , " he a.ild reverently , and stood
aside with bowed head to let her pass.

"I told that big duffer who put rho rope
around my neck , and seemed fo anxious to
yank me up that I would llvo to iwo the
goeno pick the grass oft hlw grave , mid I'll
do It , too. "
The speaker was T. J. Sykc , the tramp
who came. > near being lynched by nn In
furiated mob of citizen * of Atlanta , ( la. ,
one day last summer , and only paved hliiinelt
by hla iciuarknblo coolness and nerve a
nerve which Is not displayed once In a. life
time.
Sykes Is no ordinary man. There 1 smuo-
tiling about 'iilst ' every movement and word
which naturally Interests and mystifies uno.
He Is clearly an enigma , and yet there Is no
apparent desire on his part to appear n-
wieh. This now famous tramp hero IH about
5 feet H Inches , weighs 140. has sandy
moustache , wavy , light hair , thin , tapering
nose nnd large , clear bine eyoft Ills caw Is
one of the most remarkable that over oc
curred In Georgia , lelateu the Atlanta Jour
nal. , .
On the day of his trouble n tramp called
at the house of Mr. George Crouch , a
farmer In the northwestern t'cctloti of the
city , and asked for bread. The Bluff of life
was given him. and then a trade was made
for 'him ' to pull some fodder. The tramp
went off toward the Held , and In n fhort Minn
Iconise , the little daughter went running
Into the houw nnd told her mother that the
man had ncared her. There came a storm
when the mother gave the alarm , nnd In a
very ti.iort I line the report that a child had
been assaulted flew rapidly over the city.
and It was not long before there was n de
termined crowd of men , armed with rlllef.
uliotguns and pistols , scouring the city nnil
county In Kearch of the fiend. Later In the
day the olllcera discovered a thin and Kaunt-
looklng man walking about the city. ThN
was Sykes. Ho WOP thought lo bo the man
that had been to the Crouch home , and was
told sc.
"I nm not the man you are limiting for , „
was the answer ho gave.
The man's nerve struck the officer , nnd ho
did not believe that he had the right man.
nnd when Sykes was asked If he would go
with him hi * reply was that ho would go any.
where , as ho had "been everywhere and a
little bit beyond. "
That queer citizen of the road was taken to
the homo of the little girl nnd there bo was
Identified. It looked rather ullloua for Sykos.
hut ho held a tight grip on his courage and
quietly remarked that he was ns Innocent as
a man who had never seen the city of Colum
bus. The crowd , or at least some of them.
were ready for the lynching , nnd a bli ;
butcher ran to a horse which was hltclii'd
near by and cut the halter from his neck.
and with a yell he made a dive for Sykes
nnd placed It around his neck , while cries
of "Hang him ! Hang him ! " went up from
the Infuriated mob. Sykes was as cool sui
n May morning , and he told them :
"I will die an Innocent man. hanged by
cowardly rulllnns. If you have any spark of
bravery you will give mo a chance to show
myself Innocent of n crime which I detest
and abhor as much as nny man "
Looking the butcher nqunrely In the eyes ,
ho told them the words which open thl-i
story. Standing thcro on the roadside with
the rope around his neck , with not n tremor
over his frame , he looked the picture of a
martyr. Certain death seemed to bo stnrlliK
him In the face , but he never lllnched. Hut
with wonderful coolness ho road the riot act
nnd defied them to do their worst , declaring
that they didn't have the "grit" to come at
htm one nt n time , and that If they did ho
would wipe up the whole "shooting match. "
Thcro were men there who then believed
In the man's Innocence , nnd these began to
wpcak up. After a lime it was decided to
postpone the lynching nnd let the law take
Its course.
Sykes was carried to Jail , quite a crowd
following the wagon , and when the Jail W.IH
reached It again appeared that the effort to
get him might bo renewed. Coolly Sykes
said to Jailer Phelts :
"Just give me a good gun and I'll take
care of myself , nnd don't you doubt it. "
Sylus' preliminary trial wan a remarkable
one. There were two sets of witnesses , ono
which swore that they had seen Sykes in tlio
vicinity of the Crouch residence early that
morning , and the other that they bad seen
the same man at the Union depot ut tin )
very time the crime was alleged to have
been committed. It was not shown conclu
sively that an actual attempt at assault had
been made. Sykes was bound over , but his
attorney. Mr. II. V. Hargett , went out
among the citizens and soon succeeded In
making n subscription bond. Men who had
seen the truly wonderful bravery displayed
by the friendless man did not bcllcva that
ho could bo guilty of the crime charged , and
they wcro willing to back their Judgment
with their signatures to the bond for his
appearance nt court.
When the bond was signed nnd Sykes was
released ho thanked the gentlemen who lu'I
befriended him and told them they need
glvo themselves no uneasiness , .he would bo
present when wanted , lie went right out
and began to hunt work , and succeeded In
finding a Job In the Southern Itullway slioiM.
nnd there ho has worked every day when
lliero was anything to do ever since , and It
Is to his credit when Mr. C. W. Chcara , well
known In Atlanta and throughout thu state ,
nays that he Is a faithful man.
I.Mt week the grand July failed to find a
truu bill against him and ho wai declared
free. Sykes was the picture of happiness nnd
said :
"I told Eomo of those duffers that I would
see them later , nnd I will. I expect to stay
hero Juat as long as I vant to , nnil I want
Eomo of those frHky fellows to try any
didoes with me t.nd wo will have a llttlo fun
sure enough. "
"How does It feel to be lynched ? "
"I have never feared death , " Syhcm nald ,
"and I suppose I was about as near ready
to go rs I evci was of ever will be. I have
never harmed n living creature , though a
good many have done me kin folks for In
stance. No , I wan not bothered about wbcrn
I was going to land If they did put mo out
nf the way. I was not thinkltif ; nliotit that.
I was thinking about what n disgrace It
would lin for an honest man to be yanked off
by such hand-sawed specimens of humanity.
Now , it Is all right to be blown up In a
mine , run over by nil expn-sa wagon , starved
foi want of a hit of charity , but I didn't
propose to bo sent across Iho river by a
mob of sutli men as charged upon me that
day. I have 'oo much respect for my good
name for anything like that. I had the
consciousness of Knowing that 1 had never
harmed a living creature , had never been
In a place where I waa afraid to go back ,
and the feeling of really being almo.it at
the nnd of my earthly career did not jjlvo
mo the leant concern. It was , nu I say , tha
