The Mdod
OF a Maid.
By CECILY ALLEN.
The girl leaned forward after scan
ning the road In both directions and
touched the chauffeur’s arm. The
great ■ criuiBou car came to a panting,
deliberate standstill.
The girl did not wait for the chauf
feur to help her, but sprang lightly to
the road and vanished Into the wood
land on the right. The chauffeur turn
ed the oar as If his thoughts were con
centrated on the necessity of making
the smallest possible turn In time of
safety, In order to be prepared in time
of emergency. And then the great crim
son car shot back In the direction from
whence It had come.
Safely screened by tbe underbrush,
the girl found a clearing In the wood
land and sat down on « moss grown
log. Deftly she unwound the swath
lugs of chiffon from her hat. baring
a face delicate aud sensitive as tbe
anemones opening at her feet.
She drew off her gloves anil felt of
the velvety moss on the old log, then
stoo|>cd to gather flowers. Finally,
with tbe blossoms forgotten In her
lap. she leaned'forward, her elbow
her knees, her chin propped In the
palms of her hands, watching the
woodland life around her.
Chipmunks and squirrels scampered
along the edge of the clearing. Where
the sun shone upon a tangle of fern
and Jack In the pulpit two robins
perched pertly on dry twigs and dis
cussed the troubles of May moving
day. From the shadows of the wood
lieyoml came the (icrsistcnt hammering
of n woodpecker.
Beyond the screen of underbrush au
tomobiles anil smart turnouts spun on
toward the race track, where the world
of fashion was foregathering. An hour
passed, and then at the distunt wail of
a peculiar siren whistle the girl sprang
to her feet, dropped her Inpftil of flow
ers and ran to the roadside.
Hearing down upon her was a crltn
son car. twin of the one which bad
dropped her so unceremoniously
hour earlier.
But Uie resemblance stopped 1
the car. The chauffeur In the first car
had worn a spick span uniform in tan
color from the tips of his highly polish
oil boots to the crown of Ids heavy red
The man"In tills car wore u dis
reputable looking storm coat of Eng
lish cloth, n shabby visor cap and a
pair of goggles which had certainly
more prosperous days.

•. But the girl calmly stepped to
the edge of the road and waved a de
taining hand—a bare hand at that.
The machIn? slowed down, and the
man made preparations to descend, ns
liecnme one hailed by u maiden In dis
tress. But again the girl raised a de
taining hjind.
My car met with an accident. I
thought perhaps—I am very anxious to
•acli Dalton this afternoon, rerhajis
ou wore going that way. Would you
Ivo me a lift?”
She looked up eagerly Into his star
tled face. Then the mail coughed dls-
lly, swallowed a smile and sprang
from the machine.
••I was—or thought I was—going to
the races, but I am sure It will be
much more pleasant at—cr—was it Dal
ton you said?”
The mail’s accent was English. The
admiration in his eyes was the sort
that knows no nationality. The girl
(lushed beneath It and sprang into the
car before the astonished man could
assist Iter.
For a few minutes the car ran on in
silence. Then the girl spoke abruptly.
••Bet us take this crossroad. Then
a mile farther we will strike the old
Dalton turnpike. There we will not
meet”—
••1 understand.” lie Interrupted grave
ly. And the great car swerved luto
the crossroad, running through a
stretch of woodland.
Again the girl seemed plunged In
thought. But at last the man remark
ed a bit lamely:
"i’effect day. Isn’t il?”
The girl looked up at him shyly. Her
eyes were soft and luminous.
-Oh. I have liml the most beautiful
hour there In the woods. I’ve never
seen anything half so wonderful ns
those little creatures doing Just as they
pleased, .lust as soon as the Idrds
tired of o:* tree or hush or fern they
llew off to another. They did not mind
me nor each other. Just think of tielug
like that all your lifer
The man looked at her curiously, ns
If she were a new specimen of the
genus feminine and entirely worthy of
deep study.

liecii used to. I wake Uji knowing that
Marie will lie right tlicrc with my

dear, but ten years of doing tilings
right under Aunt Margaret’s eyes are
very tiresome. Don’t you think so?”
“1 am quite sure it must lie n terrible
bore.” replied the man gravely.
“And then seeing the same people
everywhere you go nnd being quite
sure that you will see no one that
Aunt Margaret has not seen first.”

She paused, and the man at her side
studied her with grave eyes.
“Now, there was' Bessie Stewart—
she married Jack Coghlan. They’d
gone to kindergarten and dancing
school together. And then she'd gone
to all his college ’proms* and the same
cotillons. Why, it was just like marry

‘‘And now they’re bored to death

The man shook his head.
“But Harriet, one of our parlor
tnahls, married a miner way out west.
She met him by answering an adver
tisement in o matrimonial paper. He
came east after her, and she wrote
Marie that they were awfully happy,

The man flung back his head and
laughed, nnd the girl laughed with
him. Then suddenly she clutched his
sleeve.
“You’ve pnssed the Dalton turnpike,
nnd I must be at Stoneywold for
lunch.”
“We are not going to Dalton,” said
the man calmly. “I’ve been out this
way before. Just two uriles beyond we
will cross the state line.”
“But why? Oh, I must go on to
Stoneywold.”
The man Ignored the remark.
“And across the state line. I under

“Oh!" said the girl very softly, and
the great our stopped beneath the nrcli
of freshly leaved trees.
He flung aside hlA heavy driving

face of the girl between his two hands.
“Will you. dearest?”
Her eyes stopped dancing and turned
wondrous tender.
“Oh. I hoped you’d understand, hut 1

“Will you. dearest?” persisted tbe
She lowered her long lashes over the

“But I am not,” protested the girl.
“I am twenty.”
"Not enslin’ no reflections, ma’am,

The girl and the man looked at each

traveled to the table, ami a smile
brightened tier face.
“Isn’t that proof enough that my

She held the paper toward the jus

straight from the printed page.
The justice looked from the picture

flushed nnd pnled. 1

Killing in Brooks County.
The following is from the Moul
trie Observer, of Friday last:
Leon Wood, W. W. McClain and
B. F. Floyd, three white men who
were arrested here yesterday morn
ing and placed in jail for their sup
posed connection with the killing of
Charlie Faircloth in Brooks county
near Pavo Sunday night, were turn
ed loose this morning, there bejng
no warrant on which they couldlbc
longer held. The officers here were
unable to get in communication with
the sheriff of Brooks county yester
day to learn if the men were wanted
The killing of Faircloth occurred
on Sunday night about 8 o’clock
He was traveling along the road
with his friend, Gene Hamilton, the
two men being enroute to the home
of the latter where Faircloth, who
lived some four miles away had been
a guest for the day. As they were
passing the home of B. F. Floyd,
only a short distance from the home
of Hamilton, Faircloth was drawn
into a tight and received a blow from
which he died four hours later. He
was never conscious after he was
struck on the head by what is be
lieved to have been a heavy piece of
iron and his side of the controversy
will never he known from his own
lips.
The man Floyd who has been irt
jail here claims that he was an eye
witness to the killing. His_version
is that J. C. McClain, a neighbor of
his came up in front of his house
about the time Faircloth and Hamil
ton were passing. The son of Mc
Clain asked Faircloth to hold for a
minute and he replied with an oath,
“Yes I’ll stop.’’ Some words fol
lowed after which the elder McClain
engaged in a fight that resulted in
the death of. Faircloth as above
stated. Floyd helped to carry the
injured man to Hamilton’s home and
said that his brains were exuding.
McClain and his son both left the
community at once. It was believed
that they had gone to Tifton where
a brother'of the man who did the
killing lived. Sheriff Collier of
Moultrie was asked to go over yes
terday and look for him. He went
went and with an officer from Tifton
went out to the home of McClain but
their man was not there. He spent
Monday night there but had not been
seen since, though his son was still
there. Sheriff Collier did not know at
the time that there was a warrant for
the son and did not arrest him, but
he has ’phoned to the Tifton officers
to place him under arrest.
The different accounts of the kill
ing vary**but one of them is to the
effect that the trouble was about a
woman and that Faircloth was way
laid and murdered.
