Chapter 11
INCE that tragical wed
ding day at the white
U house in the aspens
(IJessica had passed
U W through a confusion of
experiences. She had
always lived much in herself, and to
her natural reserve her blindness had
added. Asa result her knowledge
both of herself and of life had been
superficial. The first bitter shock of
her catastrophe seemed to burn up in
her the very capacity for further poig
nant suffering, and she went through
the motions of life apathetically.
Change of scene and the declining
health of David Stires occupied fortu
nately much of her waking thoughts.
After the first few months of travel
he failed steadily. His citric acid
moods were forgotten, his harsh tem
pers put aside. Hour after hour he
lay in his chair, gazing out from the
wide sun parlor of the sanitarium on
the crest of Smoky mountain, whither
their journeying had finally brought
them. He had never spoken of Hugh.
In time her fiercer pain had dulled,
and her Imagination, naturally so im
portunate, had begun to seize upon her
surroundings. In the summer season
the sanitarium had few guests, and
for this she was thankful. Dr. Brent,
its head, rallying her on her paleness,
drove her out of doors with good na
tured severity, and when she was not
with David Stires she walked or rode
for hours at a time over the mountain
trails. Breathing in the crisp air of
altitude, her spirits grew more buoy
ant. She fed the squirrels, listened to
the pert chirp of the whisky jack anu
the whirring drum of the partridge or
sat on a hidden elevation which she
named “The Knob,” facing across the
shallow valley to the south.
The knob overlooked a little grassy
shelf a few hundred feet below, where
stood a miner’s cabin, with weed
grown gravel heaps near by, in front of
which a tree bore the legend painted
roughly on a board, “The Little Pay
master Claim.”
Her interest had opened eagerly to
these scenes. The solitudes soothed,
and the life of the community below,
frankly primitive and uncomplicated,
attracted her. Between the town of
Smoky Mountain and the expensive
| sanitarium on the ridge a great social
I "ulf was fixed. The latter's patrons
j for the most part came and went by
j the narrow gauge road that linked with
northern junction. The settlement far
below was only a feature of the pano
rama for whigh they paid so well.
I Even Dr. Brent, who had perched this
! place of healing where his patients
I could breathe air fx-esh froiu the Pa
cific and cooled by the snow peaks,
knew It chiefly through two of its citi
zens—Mrs. Hallorau, the capable, bus
tling wife of the proprietor of the
Mountain Valley House, the towu’s
single hostelry,- who brewed old fash-
I ioned blackberry wine and cordials for
his patients, and Tom Felder, a young
lawyer whom he had known on the
coast before ill health had sent him to
hang out his shingle in a more genial
altitude.
The latter sometimes came for a chat
with the physician, and on one of these
calls Jessica and he had met. She had
liked his keen, good humored face and
waving, slightly graying hair. She
had met him once since on the moun
tain road, and he had walked with her
and told her quaint stories of the
townspeople. He had taken her to
Mrs. Halloran, whose heart she had
won by praise of her cherry cordial.
“It brings back my boyhood,” David
Stires said to her one afternoon, tap
ping the bottle by his wheel chair.
“Somehow this has the old taste.”
“It is nearly gone,” she said. “I'll
get another bottle. I am going for a
ride uow. I think It does you good.”
“Before you go,” he said, “fetch my
writing case, and I will dictate a let
ter.”
She brought and opened it with a
trouble at her heart, for the request
showed his increasing weakness. Un
til today the few letters he bad writ
ten bad been done with his own hand.
Thinking of this as she waited, her
fingers nervously plucked at the inside
of the leather cover. The morocco flap
fell and disclosed a slip of paper. It
was a canceled bank draft. It bore
Hugh’s name, and across Its face in Da
vid Stires’ crabbed hand, written large,
was the venomous word “Forgery.”
The room swam before her eyes.
Only by a fierce effort could she com
pel her pen to trace the dictated words.
Hugh’s misdeed, evil as it was, had
been to her but an abstract crime.
Now it suddenly lay bare before her, a
concrete expression of coarse thievery,
a living symbol of crafty simulation.
Scarce knowing why she did it, she
drew the draft covertly from its re
ceptacle and slipped it into her bosom.
The evidence of Hugh’s sin! That
paper must remain, as the sin that
made It remained, the sign manual of
her dishonor and loss. The man whose
hand had penned its lying signature
was the man she had thought she
loved. By that act he had thrust him
self from her forever. Yet he lived.
THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1909.
Somewhere in the world he walked in
shame and degradation beyond the
pale of honorable living, and she was
his wife! She was his wife! Though
she called herself Jessica Holme, yet in
the law his name and fame were hers.
“Look at that steady hand now, an*
her hair as red as glory!” said Mrs.
Halloran, gazing admiringly from the
doorstep where Bhe had been chatting
with Tom Felder. “Ye needn't stare
yer gray eyes out, though, or she’ll
stop at the joolry shop to buy ye a
ring—to shame ye fer jest hankerin’
and sayin’ nothin’!”
Felder laughed as he crossed the
street, raising his felt hat gallantly to
the approaching rider. Mrs. Halloran
was a privileged character. It was not
Michael Halloran who kept the Moun
tain Valley House popular! The old
woman hurried to the curb and tied
the horse as Jessica dismounted.
“How did ye guess I made some
more this day?” she exclaimed. “Sure,
if ye drink it yerself, my dearie, them
cheeks is all th’ trademark I need!”
She led the way into the little carpeted
side room, by courtesy denominated
“the parlor.” “I'll go an’ put it up In
two shakes,” she said. “Sit ye down
an’ I’ll not be ten minutes.” So say
ing, she bustled away.
Left alone, Jessica gazed abstract

ride. A door opened from the room
into the office. It was ajar. She step
ped close and looked in.
A group of miners lounged in the
space before the front windows—fa
miliarly referred to by its habitues
as “the amen corner”—chatting and
watching the passersby.
Suddenly she clapped her hand to her
mouth to stifle a cry. A name had
been spoken—the name that was in her
thought—the name of Hugh Stires.
She leaned forward, listening breath
lessly.
“I wonder where the young black
leg’s been,” said one, peering through
the windows. “He’d better have stayed
away for good, I’m thinking. What
does he want to come back for, to a
place where there aren't three men
who will take a drink with him?”
Jessica looked about her an instant
wildly, guiltily. She could not be mis
taken in the name. Was Hugh here,
whither by the veriest accident she
had come—here in this very town that
she had gazed dowu upon every day
for weeks? Was he? No. no; it could
not be! She had not heard aright.
But she had au overwhelming desire
to satisfy herself with her own eyes.
From where she stood she could flot
see the street. She bethought herself
of the upper balcony.
Swiftly she crossed to the hall door,
threw it open and ran hastily up the
stair.

Cough Caution
Never, positively never poison your lungs. If you
cough—even from a simple cola only—you should
always heal, soothe, and ease the Irritated bron
chial tubes. Don’t blindly suppress it with a
stupefying poison. It's strange how some things
finally come about. For twenty years lsr. Shoop
has constantly warned people not to take cough
mixtures or prescriptions containing Opium,
Chloroform, or slmilarpoisons. And now—a little
late though—Congress says "Put it on the label,
If poisons are in your Cough Mixture." Good!
Very good!! Hereafterforthisveryre&soninothers,
and others, should insist on having Dr. Shoop’s
Cough Cure. No poison marks on Dr. Shoop's
labels—and none In the medicine, else It must by
law be on the label. And it's not only safe, but it
is said to be by those that knowlt best, a truly re
markable cough remedy. Take no chance then,
particularly with your children. Insist on having
Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. Compare carefully the
Dr. Shoop package with others and note the
difference. No poison marks there! You can
always be on the safe side by demanding

THE TURTLE’S DEFENSE.
Coyet. Helpless Against Snapper,
Whose Eggs It Devoured.
In 1850 a war party of Cheyennes
had started out on foot to take
horses and had got as far &outh as
Black Butte creek—perhaps Big
creek of the whites—which runs
into the Smoky Hill river from the
north, near where Fort J-arned
afterward stood.
They had come to the banks of
this stream and were sitting there
resting, some of them drinking wa
ter, others lying down in the grass
and sleeping. As they sat there,
says Forest and Stream, one of the
men saw coming over the prairie a
coyote, slowly trotting toward the
stream. It acted as if it smelled
something.
Now, it is the law that when peo
ple are on the warpath they must
not kill or injure either wolf or
coyote. So no one thought of harm
ing the animal, and the men sat
there and looked at it, and one said
to the other: “Sit still, now. Do
not frighten it. Let us see what it
will do.”
The coyote trotted along slowly
until it had come to a sand bank at
the edge of the water, and there,
after smelling about a little, it be
gan to dig and presently had partly
uncovered the eggs of a snapping
turtle and was beginning to eat
them. But close by, lying on the
sand, was a big snapping turtle, the
mother that had laid these eggs.
She saw the coyote and commented
slowly to walk toward him. The
coyote had his head down in the
hole, busily devouring the eggs and
saw and heard nothing, and in a
moment or two the turtle was close
to it and, darting out its long
neck, seized him by the cheek and
the ear, closing her jaws on him
with a grip that nothing could loos
en. The coyote yelled dismally and
tried to pull away, but could not.
The turtle was big and strong, and
she began to back slowly toward the
stream. The coyote, howling with
pain, pulled hack as hard as lie could
and struggled desperately, trying to
shake himself free. But the turtle
held on and marched steadily back
ward until she got into the water
and dragged the miserable coyote
after her. Gradually the water got
deeper and deeper, until it had
reached the coyote’s body, and then
presently its head disappeared, and
the last the Indians saw of him was
his tail and his hind legs waving in
the air.
For some time the Indians sat
there looking at the water and talk
ing over what had happened, and at
length they saw the body of the
co} r ote rise to the surface and float
away down the stream.
So the old turtle protected her
young ones.
Beau Brummel and His Boots.
In the “Reminiscences and Recol
lections of Captain Gnownow*,” who
was himself a famous dandy, occurs
the following anecdote of Beau
Brummel, the time being 1815: The
dandy's dress consisted of a blue
coat, with brass buttons, leather
breeches and top boots, and it was
the fashion to wear a deep, stiff,
white cravat, which prevented you
from seeing your boots while stand
ing. All the world watched Brum
mel to imitate him and order their
clothes of the tradesman who
dressed that sublime dandy. One
day a youthful beau approached
Brummel and said:
“Permit me to ask you where you
get your blacking?”
“Ah,” replied Brummel, gazing
complacently at his boots, “my
blacking positively ruins me. I will
tell you in confidence. It is made
with the finest champagne!”
Explained.
“War,” cried the pale visaged
gentleman, “is a sin and a disgrace!
War is an abomination—a blot on
civilization! The very name of war
is enough to make a decent, respec
table man go and hang himself out
of pure disgust!”
Having thus delivered himself, he
left the clubroom, his face distorted
with emotion.
“Seems to feel rather deeply on
the subject,” said a member who
had been listening to the peroration.
“Perhaps he lost some near rela
tive through war.”
“He did,” chimed in another.
“May I ask who it was?”
“You may. It was his wifi’s first
husband.”

A Mighty Old Table.
A wealthy man was once exhibit
ing proudly to a younger acquaint
ance a table which he had bought.
He said it was 500 years old.
“That is nothing,” remarked his
young visitor. “I have in my pos
session a table which is more than
3,000 years old.”
“Three thousand-years old!” said
the host. “That is impossible.
Where was it made?”
“Probably in India.”
“In India! What kind of a table
is it?”
“The multiplication table!”
