GEORGIA TO LEAD ALL
ATCHICKAMAUGACAMP
Statements being sent out from
Chattanooga to the effect that South
Carolina will lead In the number of
troops at ChlcKamauga Is refuted by
the adjutant general’s ofAco of Geor
gla.
The statement Is mads that South
Carolina will have three regiments and
Qeorgla only two. As a matter of fact,
arrangements have been perfected for
three regiments from this state—First,
Second nnd Fifth—and this haa been
,ng to the Agures South Caro
lina will have 1,260 men nt Chlckamau-
gn, while Georgia will send In men and
otdeers some 1,550, which ought to he
sufficient evidence that this atntc will
lead In the number of national guard
at the big encampment.
The stats needs a rearrangement of
Its Judicial circuits, said Judge Joel
A. Sweat, of Waycroas, Thursday af-
I ternoon before the special Judiciary
committee of the house, of which Hon.
Bob Blackburn Is chairman. Further
more, he contended that there should
! bo an Increase of Judges.
Judge Sweat, Attorney Miller, of
Waycroas, and Judge T. A. Parker, of
the Brunswick circuit, were before the
committee to urge the passage of the
bill to divide the tsn counties of that
circuit Into two, Avs or which were to
remain and constitute the Brunswick
circuit, the other Ave to be designated
the Waycroas circuit.
This bill was prepared by a commit
tee of lawyers of the circuit, wrfo held
a convention In Brunswick to devise
some plan whereby the congested dock
ets In that circuit might be relieved
and the burden of Ita overworked Judge
lightened.
Judge Parker at the earnest solicita
tion of this committee of lawyers ad-'
dressed the houso committee and urged
n division of the circuit, ns under the
growing pressure of litigation he could
Ml give that Bawdy m3 consideration
to the questions brought before hint
that their importance deserved.
It was NUlM MM the committee
that dne case alone from that circuit.
Involving 170 land lots, valued at over
*150,000, the rei .i.i ,.r which could
scarcely be carted In a wheelbarrow,
waa now before ths supreme court,
and that Judge Parker hail only a few
hours In which to consider tho oa«e,
whereas It would take him at least two
weeks to read the record alone.
Said ona attorney: "We Juat pushed
It up to him, to be knocked back to us,
to.be shoved on to the supreme court.'
Tha striking feature of the dlacus.
lion, however, waa Judge Sweat's dec
laration that a rearrangement of all
th> circuits and more Judges ware sad
ly needed In Georgia.

And then, gripping Jurgis tight with

•nggeeted. "How's that, hey?"
And he pulled out from somewhere

than Jurgis had ever seen In his life
I*™*- and he stared at It with startled
tyee.

wired him, by Harry, a’n mean it—I’ll
run away from school, b'God, If he
don't sen' me some."
After this fashion the young gentle'
man continued to prattle on—nnd
meantime Jurgis was trembling with
excitement. He might grab that wad
of bills and be out of sight In the dark
ness before the other could collect his
wits. Should he do It? What better
hsd he to hope for, If he waited longer?
But Jurgis had never committed a
crime In his life, and now he hesitated
half a second too long. “Freddie" got
one bill loose and then stuffed the .rest
back Into his trousers pocket.
'Here, ole man," he said, "you take
It." He held It out Buttering. They
were in front of a saloon; and by the
light of the window Jurgis saw that
It was a hundred dollar bill!
You take It,” the other repeated.
"Pay the cabbie and keep the change—

And the cabbie eubelded, and Jurgla
climbed In. Then Freddie gave a num

carriage started away. The youngster
leaned back and snuggled up to Jurgie,
murmuring contentedly; In half a min-

he was sound asleep. Jurgie sat
shivering, speculating as to whether he
might not stilt be able to get hold of
the roll of bills. He was afraid to try
to go through his companion's pock
ets, however; and, besides, the cabbie
might be on the watch. He had the
hundred safe, and He would have to do
with that. . -
At the end of half on hour or eo the
ceb stopped. They were out on the
water front, and from the east a freez
ing gale was blowing off the Ice-bound
lake. "Here we are," called the cab
bie, and Jurgie awakened hie com

Before them there loomed an enorm

street, and occupying a whole block.

could see that It had towers and
uga gables, like a medieval castle. He
thought that the young fellow must
have made a mistake—It was Incon
ceivable to him that any person could
have a home like a hotel or the city
hell. But he followed In silence, end
then went up the long flight of etepa,
arm In arm.
There’s a button here, ole sport,”
■aid Master Freddie. "Hole my arm
while I And her! Steady, now—oh, yes,
here she le. Saved I"
A bell rang end In a few seconds the
door was opened. A man In blue liv
ery stood holding It end goring before
him, silent os a statue.
They stood for a moment blinking In
the light. Then Jurgis felt his com
panion pulling, and he stepped In, end
he blue automaton dosed the door.
Jurgie' heart wee beating wildly; It was
a bold thing for him to do—Into what
strange unearthly place he was ventur
ing he had no Idea. Aladdin entering
his cave could not have been mo:i ex
cited.
The place where he stood waa dimly
lighted; but he could see a vast hall
with pillar* fading Into the end. of
darkness above, end a great staircase
opening at the far end of It. The floor midst,
was tessellated marble, smooth as
glass, and from the wells strange
shapes loomed out, woven Into huge
portieres In rich, harmonious colors, or
gleaming from paintings, wonderful and
mysterious looking In the half-light,
purple and red and golden, like sunset
glimmers In a shadowy forest,
Tha man In livery had moved silent-
ly toward them; Master Freddie took
off his htt and handed It to him, and
then, letting go of Jurgie' arm, tried to
get out of hie overcoat. After two or
three attempts he accomplished this,
with a lackey’s help; and meantime a
second man had approached, a tail and
portly personage, solemn as an execu
tioner. He bore straight down upon
Jurgis, who shrank away nervously; ha
seised him by (he arm without a word,
and started toward the door with him.
Then suddenly came Master Freddie's
voles, "Hamilton! My fren' will re
main wla ms."
The men paused and half rslsnsed
Jurgis. "Come Tong, ole chsplpe," said
the other, and Jurgie started toward
him.
Master Freddie,” exclaimed the men,
See that the cabbie—hlc—la paid,"
was the other's response; end ha linked
his arm in Jdrgls'. Jurgis woe about
to say. "I have the money for him,"
but he restrained himself. The etout
man In uniform signaled to the other,
who went out to the cab, while he fol
lowed Jurgis end his young.master.
They went down the great hall, and
then turned. Before them were two
huge doors.
“Hamilton,” said Master Freddie.
"Well, sir?” said the other.
“Whuxxamatter wlzxe dinin’ room

"Nothing Is the matter, air.”
‘Then why dontcha openumT”
Tbs man rolled them beck; another
vista lost Itself In the darkness.
"Lights,” commanded Muter Freddie,
end the butler pressed a button and a
flood of brilliant Incandescence stream
ed from above, half blinding Jurgis. He
stared, and little by little nt mode out

celling from which the light poured,

"Rummy ols place to feel In ell Tone,

he went on, without waiting: "Maybe

And Jurgla managed to stammer out;
"t have worked for him In the yards."

And Master Frederick drew himself
up to a stalely height. "My father's
orders were left to me—hlc—an’ not to

tightly by the neck, he staggered out
of tha room; on the way another Idea
occurred to him, end he asked: "Any—

"No, elr,” said the butler. /
They went up the great staircase on*
step it e time; at the top of It there
gleamed et them out of the shadows
the figure of a nytnph crouching by a
fountain, a figure ravleblngty beautiful
the flesh warm and glowing with the
hut* of life. Above was a huge court,
with domed roof, the various apart
ments opening Into It. Ths butler had
paused below but a few minutes to
give orders, and then followed them;
now he pressed a button, and the hall
biased with light. II* opened a door
before them, and then pressed another
button, as they staggered Into the
apartment.
It waa fitted up oa a study. In the
center wee a mahogany table, covered
with books and smokers’ Implements;
the wells were decorated with college
trophies end colors, flsgs, posters, pho
tographs and‘knlckknacks, tennis rac
quets, canoe poddies, golf clubs and
polo sticks. An enormous moose head,
with horns six test across, faced a buf
falo head on the opposite well, while
beer end tiger skins covered the pol
ished floor. There were lounging
chairs and sofa#, window seats covered
with soft cushions of fantastic designs;
'ashlon, with a hugs canopy end a
jewelled lamp beneath. Beyond a door
opened upon a bedroom and beyond
that waa a swimming pool of the pur
est marble, that had cost about fbrty
thousand dollars.

the next room a dog emerged, a nmn-

upon. He yawned, opening u mouth
like a 'dragon's, and he canto tow ard

' The speaker sank Into one ot tho
big arm chairs, and Admiral Deuev
crouched beneath It;' he did not snarl
again, but he never took his eyes off
Jurgis. He was perfectly sober, was
the Admiral.
Ths butler had closed the door, nnd
he stood by It, watching Jurgis every
second. Now there came footsteps out
side, and, as he opened the door n man
In livery entered, carrying a folding
table, and behind him two men with
covered trays. They stood like statues
while the flrst spread the table and set
out the contents of the trays upon It.
There were cold pates, and thin slices
of meat, tiny bread and butter sand
wiches with the crust cut off, a butyl
ot sliced peaches and cream (In Janu
ary), little fancy cakes, plnl* and green
and yellow and white, and half a doxen
Ice-cold bottles of wine.
"Thaos the stuff for you!” cried Mas
ter Freddie, exultantly, as he spied
them. "Come Tong, ole chappie, move
up."
And he seated himself at the table;
the writer.pulled a rork. and be took
the bottle and poured three glasses of
Its contents In succession down bis
throat. Then he gave a long-drawn
sigh, and cried again to Jurgis to scat
himself.
The butler held Ihe chair at the op-
poslte side of the table, and Jurgie
thought It was to keep him out of it;
hot finally he understood that It was
the other's' Intention to put It under
him, and so he sat down, cautiously
and mlstrustlngly. Master Freddie
