CONFEDERACY
CAMP FIRES TO
BURN FOR ViTS
ATLANTA, Sept. 6.—The camp
fires of the Confederacy, quenched
more than fifty years ago at Ap
pomattox, will burn again in Atlanta
for the first time since the surrender,
when the Confederate veterans hold
their twenty-ninth reunion here Octo
ber 7-10.
Al every one of these reunions
the veterans have had a camp, but
they have never had campfires, nor
have they ever had such an encamp
ment as will be provided them in
Atlanta.
Piedmont Park, the beautiful city
park that covers several acres in the
north side of the city, will be turn
ed over bodily to the veterans. Hun
dreds of government tents, with gov
ernment blankets, government cots
and other government material, will
dot the spacious sward. And, best
®f all, the reunion committee is plac
ing orders for scores of cartloads of
fat pine logs which wid be used to
make fires, in the fLrpes of which the i
old comrades will vision again the
acenes of their glory and their bat
ties.
X«t all of the veterans will stay
de encampment, although most
of them wish to do so in order to
foot nob with each other Nearly two'
including the more aged
and infirm, will be placed in the
homes of Atlanta people who will
have them as their guests and be
stow upon them every hospitality.
And evert these old men will jour
ney out to the encampment, only fif
teen minutes’ street car ride from
the center of the city, tot be with the;
other “boys” during the day.
Reservations are being made by
the hundreds in Atlanta by the thou
sands of visitors who will come to
the reunion on the cheap rate of one
cent > mile which the government is
giving on all roads to any relative
of a veteran, whether living veteran
or dead, and to all of those connect
■®d officially with the reunion.

MAN dies from bite of cat
Aged Pennsylvania Farmer Takes Pas
teur Treatment, but Hydro
phobia Comes.
Pittsburgh.—Although he had re
ceived the Pasteur treatment in Mercy
hospital here, Levi Kurtz, aged sev
enty-one, a farmer of Enon Valley,
died of hydrophobia in Providence
Hospital, Reaver Falls, from the bite
of a cat which clung to him so tena
ciously that it had to be hacked to
leath to release the farmer’s hand.
Hearing a commotion in his chicken
coop several weeks ago, Kurtz investi
gated and found a cat chasing the
chickens. As he tried to seize the ani-
T.al it turned on him and sank its teeth
deep in the flesh of his left hand. The
farmer struck the cat with his free
hand, but was unable to dislodge it.
Neighbors responded to a call for help,
but they failed to force the animal’s
Jaws apart until one man severed its
head with an axe.
Kurtz, fearing hydrophobia, came
here and remained two weeks, taking
the Pasteur treatment. He was dis
charged, supposedly immune, at the
end of that time.

TWO LETTERS
By ELIZABETH I. SAUNDERS.
“Now, Dot, for goodness’ sake pocket
your pride and plan to go to that dance
with us. Even if Wallie is there you
won’t be obliged to notice him, al
though I think you are just mean to
treat him that way. Now, please. Dot,
just this once,” pleaded Helen.
“Well, maybe, but still I won’t prom
ise yet. T will tell you positively in
the morning.
It was now just four months since
the two offensive letters had caused
so many sleepless nights for two
young people, and even four months
would not wear away the pain and
jealousy that was bound to get the best
of both concerned.
Wallie had gone to France, leaving
behind him a little girl who had prom
ised to be true to him only. It had
made the parting easier to know that
she was all his as soon as his duty had
been accomplished over there.
Some time later two letters crossed
on their way to each of the lovers, both
Intended to bring happiness and com
fort to the other, but instead brought
unhappiness and even tears.
“Dear Willie,” one had started.
“Helen has brought me the dearest
little j-ellow, I call him Duke as he is
gcTnolite and gentle. He Is a little mite
and so cunning. I know yfih will love
him when you see him.” ~,-rasgy 7~'
At tie safiie time a little, blond,
frowsled head tossed uneasily on the
pillow and two nervous eyelids seemed
{o J hard fight to keep
dosed, then all at once she sat straight
up in bed. The all-offensive paragraph
of the letter ran through his mind.
“I am so lonesome tonight, dearest,
for two people. You are one, of course,
and the other is the dearest little lady
in the world. She is another man’s
wife, so don’t be jealous. I love her
so much and I know you will, too,
when you know her as I do. I got a
lytter from her today and how I long
ft Ske her.”
‘“Another man’s wife,’ indeed,‘so don’t
be jealous.' I didn’t think Wallis
would love another man’s wife. He
never seemed like that kind. But she
can have him, that is, if her husband
doesn’t object,” and with an angry tug
at the sheets, she flung herself back on
the pillow for a restless sleep.
Saturday dawned bright and clear
for all with the exception of Duke,
who had discovered to his discom
fort and misery that too much sweets
were not good for little fellows like
himself. Dot left Duke and started
for the dance with Helen and her

brother. Dot was prettier than ever
and so radiant. Inwardly she was fight
ing two battles, trying to conceal her
jealousy for Wallie, but outwardly she
showed only the worry for Duke. Ap
parently she hadn’t noticed Wallie.
But indeed she had, she had also no
ticed that he was alone.
“Beg pardon, Dot, but would it be
asking too much if I asked for just
one dance?” attempted Wallie. “Not
at all, or even two would be but a
slight favor.” cool.y answered Dot,
with a bit of sarcasm in her voice that
Wallie did not notice, due to the fact
that the thought of two dances with
Dot overjoyed him. “Couldn’t make it
three, could you?” he almost pleaded.
“Possibly.”
At the end of the eight dances they
et joyed together, Wallie ventured:
“Dot, since Duke isn't here to protect
you through the streets tonight to
your home, would it be agreeable to
you for me to escort you to your door?”
What could be the matter with Wal
lie? What was he talking about?
“Why, Wallie, I don’t understand what
you are saying. Poor Duke couldn’t
protect me.”
At the end of their journey home
word, which came too soon for both
concerned, Dot in her excitement in
vited Wallie to call the next day. “I
would sure love to, Dot, but how about
Duke? Are you quite sure he won't
be jealous?” “Duke —jealous—why,
Wallie, I do believe you think Duke is
a young man I” The telltale expres
sion on Wallie’s face confirmed her
Statement, so as soon as the could con-

ceal the amusement the Tittie “misun
derstanding had afforded she ven,
tured: "Wallie, you are a jealous
goose. Duke is just a dear little four
legged fellow; in other words, a lU.He
Boston terrier.” “Good heavens, Dot,
I have been an idiot. Can you ever for
give me?”
Dot was about to say “Yes,” but the
offending paragraph of Wallie’s letter
ran through her mind as it had a mil
lion times since that letter had ar
rived. “But, Wallie, what about the
—the other man’s wife?” “Who?”
“You know the one you wrote about?”
After a moment’s contemplation Wallie
recalled her reference and his face
clouded. “Dot, dear, I never dreamed
that you could misinterpret my letter
that way. I still love that little lady
more than anything else on earth, with
the exception of your own dear little
self, and she is married to another
man, too. That man is my best pal—-
he’s my dad; so you see you were just
jealous of my mother. Now, what
have you
“Oh, Wallie, I’m so sorry. Can you
forgive me?”
We don’t know what he said, but
a few weeks later at the wedding of
this happy pair sat the other man’s
wife, fondly stroking the head of the
cute and cunning Duke.
“Here’s wishing Duke a long life,
even if he is my cute rival,” laughed
Wallie. “And here’s happiness and long
life to the other man’s wife—our
mother,” finished Dot.
