THE HIE Of KATE IVES,
Jly M. E. Graham.
(Oopyrtahted 1«« by 8. B. McClure.)
Tbe scorching July sun beat down relent.
Itmiy upon the thirsty country rood; ot every
foclMI of the wayfarer, the dry dost paired
Oat in 0 line implepehle powder, and nlnn-ls of
grasshoppers whirred owey Into the this.lo*
tbet bordered the wheel track.
The traveler wu hot end fogfed, bat seeing
•erne term build lege In thedletenee, be strode
nlonf with new energy. Iiemcblng the Derm

Uipplee thnt iklrted the highwiy, end ear-
yeyed the premieee.
They were not inviting. The front goto
gigged dejectedly on lie hingee. end unkempt
gra-s hid deetroyed ill trace, of o pith to the
nnhoepitohle front door. The home wu
linked on one eide by o weither-beiten tool
ghop; on the other by o weU kept kitchen gar
den.
The old ihop loomed to poeecM a peculiar in
terest for the etringer, bat hie Intention wu
presently diverted to i woman who appeared
fn the garden. Her till figure moved down the
rows ot vegrtiblee with a splendid (winging
stride. The fail corvee of her form were re
velled by the clinging folds of her limp calico
K wn, but her heat wu hidden in an ugly,
nkcr snnbonnet. Kntiraly unconscious of
observation, she knelt by a beat lied and began
to pnll weeds. Tho min strolled towards her,
but absorbed in her task she did not look up
Until he spoke.
“Do yon want to hire any help?" asked the
gtnnger.
Bbo lilted her head with a start that lent
the Bhiker bonnet tumbling to the ground and
disclosed a face framed in roaghly waving red
hair. Her dark eyes (tubed suspiciously at
tbe intruder from beneath heavy black brows,
phe rose, and before answering, examined him
frith aqnlck look, but without a trace of fear.
“We do need an extra band,’’ ahe said, “bat
sny fatherwill not be In from the Held for an
boar yet. Can yon wiltt"
Tbe man looked back at the duty road and
then at the figure before him.
‘Til wait,’’he answered.
Tho girl led the way to a narrow back porch,
and, giving him a flag bottomed chair, disap
peared indoors. The stranger settled his long
body into a comfortable position and gaaed
meditatively over the simmering landscape.
Jut before him wu the well, with Its old-
fashioned sweep. Near It, a chicken coop had
been Improvised from a barrel and a few stripe
of lath. The attractive shop wu Jut out of
range. The stronger began to wish that tbe
fcardrome girl wonld come oat and talk to
him. Approaching the open door, ho uked
for a drink of water.
“I’ll get yon some that’s fresh,” she Skid,
taking a pale and going to the well.
The man followed, and u eke wu about to
lower the backet over the carb, took It from
her, remarking; “that isn’t tho right sort of
irork for a woman.”
“Oh. I’m used to it ehe langhed, but tbe
color flamed bright In her cheeks. Perbsps it
was to hide the flush that she tamed and went
Swiftly within doom. She did not show her
self u he carried the pale into the kitchen, and
after drinking his fill he wss forced to resume
bis unsociable out.
Half an hoar passed slowly, then the girl
came to the doorway and stood looking at him
With a sort of calm curiosity.
“Yon’re not need to farm work,” she uld.
“What makes you think sol” uked the
man.
“Thou are not farmers’ hands," she an
ile looked at Ids long, slim fingers with a
sort of impersonal Interest, U though they
belonged to some one else.
“You're right; tho-e hands have been about
machinery for a coed many years.”
“Why—!” she betau. but broke offthe ones-

•Hsu I taken look
The girl assented, with a look of surprise,
•nd walked bcsldo him to the door of tho old
ghop.
It wu dirty and robwebbed, lighted enly by
a window in front and an old skylight; on a
bench were some rusty tools; broken farming
Implements were piled in the corners, ana
withered mis or seed corn hung from tho
gaiters.
The man made no comment, and they re-
tamed silently to the house.
Presently the farmer appeared with his
bind help. He wain line specimen of mas-
cular development; but his Awe, possessing a
Ssroe sort or aulintl booty, wu marred by an
CiprcOrion of Milled diatruot and low canning.
The hands hurried off to their bomu, leav
ing behind a lame min, who seated himself on
She steps to await his tarn at the wash-basin.
Termer Ives performed a rough ablation,
questioning the uea corner between the splosh-
at. A bargain wu made, and the three man
Went into sapper.
“Kate,” said lve*, “I’ve hired this Langdon;
put him oat a piste.”
Kate obeyed without response, and ait there
gllenl, quietly indifferent.
After sapper, Tim, tbe nno man, went ant
with the milk pails; Ives sat down to his
pipe. Kate swiftly cleared away the tca-
ihlnss, and going into the wood shed, picked
np the ax to split some kindlings. I-angden
went down and took the ax from her, with a
half la ash.
The girl reddened and stood watching him
In alienee. Suddenly her father called oat
m ughly: “Kate, enme here!” A defiant look
fir shea from hor cyos, yet she obeyed the
csll.
Ives eyed his daughter is vs rely and uld
•omethlngln a rapid undertone. Tho girl
turned away without a word, but her face, as
■he passed the open door, wore a look that
haunted langdon for days.
In a abort Hue the itmoger had became use
ful. Though unskilled in farm work, he wu
qnlck to learn, and In some ways proved in-
valnable. Evenings and rainy days he repaired
tools, he mended the disabled pomp, patched a
leaky re if and transformed the dirty old tool
boose into a tidy workshop. Ives noted all
this, bat without comment.
In many ways Langdon tried to lighten the
butdeusof Kata Ivor, hat he soon found that
bis kiud offices must be done quietly in order
not to arouse the spile of her father.
Kate’S hard lot wakened all the chivalry In
Iran (don’s quiet but earnest nature. Bite never
left the farm, had no associates and toiled like
nwrf. Langdon'. kindnose at first surprised
and almost onibern-etcd her. bnt in time she
begin to utter shy think t, with a softened look
In her great daik cyst and a droop of her
prood head.
As the days wnro on, Irangdou’i pity and
admiration were swallowed np fn a more ab-
notblug feeling. Its loved Kate with hia
Whole tool, yet dared not show his passion,
lest Ives, detecting it, should drive him awey.
Anxiously the lover kept watch, hoping that
that Kate might iuatiuctlvely feel the In-
toasity of hii pscl.ni; hot oho gave no sign.

downcast face.
A great surge of color flooded her feature!
and throat; ahe trembled greatly. Suddenly
she raised her splendid eyes with n look of
otter Joy and trust and then hid her face agalnit
hia ahoolder.
After s time Langdon told, hesitatingly;
“Koto, you’ve never heard my story. I ought
to havo told yon everything first; it may make
n difference.”
"Nothing can make a difference now,” aho
said, steadily; and he believed bar,
“But I should like to tell you,” ha Insisted
gently. “I haven’t kith or kin in this coun
try. I came over from England when I wav
eighteen and went into a machine shop—my
father’s trade. By the timo I wu of age I
wu earning good wag os, and besides, had in
vented a nambor of little thing* that sold
well. Finally I got np a machine mach need
ed by cotton manufacturers, and I knew that
if my idem could only bo worked oat, it would
make my fortnne. A regular Inventor's crate
seized me and 1 couldn’t rent. Tho foreman
liked me and let me work in the shop nights.
Bometimeal worked on until morning, of
coarae that kind of thiogwu killing, end I
fell into a terribly nervous state. I kept my
model locked np in a big chest daring the
day. I had never shown it to a single soul.
“One night I wao so deed tired that I lay
down in mir room rightafter sapper, and alopt
till midnight, then late as It was, I went down
to the shop. Tho night watchman then wu
asleep in the effice.and my cheat wu wide open
—my model was gone!’’ Langdon paused, mak
ing avloible effort to steady himself. Kite laid
her cheek softly against his. There wore
tctis in her beautiful eyes.
"Tho shock wu too much forme in my ner
vous state,’’ Langdon continued, “and 1 wav
sent to an Insane hospital. I wu there three
months and then discharged cured. Th* doc
tors advised me to take rest from machinery
for awhile and to get out-door work on a farm.
Bo I thought I’d work my way back to tho old
dace on foot and see what country air would
lo for me. I got u (hr u this place, the tool-
house canght my eye. far I thought it would
be o good place to tinker In. Than I uw yon
and wu bound to stay.”
Kate laughed lightly; then suddenly catch
ing hit face between her two hands. “Tall

that sums model again!”
“Yea,” uld Langdon, “I am. Whoever stole
the other one bu never eared to bring it out
and I mean to best him yet. Bnt bow did

Kate ooefcatcd shamefacedly: “I heard yon

Ha langhed at bar confusion. “Yon ohsll
come out with mo tonight and see it all!”
A sudden noise of rapid wheel! Interrupted
the lovara, and Ives drove fUrlonaly into tho
yard.
Kate sprang up with a face of alarm. “It’s

Langdon kissed her hurriedly and strode
oat to mo Ives, with nn assumed unconcern.
Ives bad been drinking heavily and was in
a worse than usual vicious temper. He glared
at Langdon with suspicion, bnt tho yoang
man’s manner disarmed him. He stood look
ing on sullenly, while the Jaded horse wu
J ut up, and then, with a bottlo and aomo bun-
lea, he went into tho homo,
Langdon dared not follow him for foar of
icltlug his distrust still farther, and it wu n
illef when, half an hour later, he and Tim
were aanimontd to supper.
Ivu bid been drinking still more and wu
in an ugly mood. He said nothing and ato
little, watching his companions with florae,
bloodshot eyes, Tho others wore relieved
when he finally rose and staggered to bte
room. They heard him stumble over the fur
niture, and throw himself upon hia creak-
Ins lied.
In about two horn* the drunkon man wu
roused by Tim’t heavy atop, limping up stain
to lied. The first atapor of Intoxication hod
passed off and hia senses wore made more
■cute by the atlmnlonta ho bad taken. Uo

waa still there, Presently there wu n sound
of footsteps, tho out door closed softly, end
nil wu still.
Ives sprung np with an nth. He mode hia
way to n bureau and took something from n
drawer, and went out into tbe kitchen. A
candle, bnrning dimly on tho table, lighted

and peered through tho darkness.
There wu a glrsu of light to the workshop,

FOUR MEN KILLED.
A Terrible Tragedy In Union County—Ceass
or tile Difficulty.
Blaiisvjllx, Go., July 3.—[Special.]—The
moat shocking end dreadful tragedy known la
the history of Union county wu enacted la
Ivy Log district, twelve miles west of Blairs-
viUe, on Friday night, in which one man,
Washington Whitmore wu shot through tho
heart, and hia twin brother, Boll Whitmore,
wu mortally wounded by a pistol hall through
the bowels, and who hag Unco died. Two
others, Ed and Htrve Hsrtness wore consider
sbly carved np with kiting. Ths facts gather
ed gre u follows:
THE CAUSE OF THE TSOUBLE.
Boil Whitmore is the father of an Ulef Itl-
mate child by Marlon Hartness’a daughter, a
girl of fifteen year*. Whitmore wu o few
month! ago married to a young lady bj "
name of Hnghes, and had induced too m<
of tbe child to give it to him to ratio. Bhi
(ho day before the night of the killing, a
to have the child wntto we her, which req
wu complied with. The child wu carried by
Boll Whitmore’* mother in tho morning, with
in,tractions to bring it homo in the afternoon.
Being refused the child by ita mother, Mr*.
Whitmore inforrood tho boys of tho situation.
THE CALL TO ABUS.
Boll, together with hia brother, Wuhington,
armed themselves with doublo-barrel-ahot-
guns, and starting to tho homo of Hertnaas,
■aid they woold kill the whole d—d sot or
havo the child. Their father, George Whit
more, appealed to them not to go; that hs
woold got tho child ud lave t baa fight. Tho
boys would not hood the old man, until, when
Id about one hundred yards of tho house of
Uirtncw, he persuaded them to stop until ho
could go and aee what could ho done. Ho wu
Informed by tho brothers of the girl, that It
wu her intention to keep tho baby, and that
they did not feel called upon to force hor to
give It np. Whitmore begged them to give it
np and lave trouble and murder. He wsot
bock to bis boys, and told them what wu uld.
They became enraged, and proceeded to the
house. When within tho yard, they wore
warned not to come In the house.
MET BY POWDES.
Pushing Mrs. Hartnesa, the mothor of ths
girl, off the steps, they attempted to go in,
when Harro Hartnou commoncod firing on
them from Inside the house, killing Wubing-
ton, it is supposed, on tho fint shot, u ho dis
appeared from the stage of action and wu
not seen again until tho fight wu over, when
hs wu found dead iu tho yard
with his gun by hi* side. After the first shot,
all parties being by that time in tho house, the
light become general, tho report of a pistol
being oocuioually hoard. Boll Whitmore wu
found, by Harve Hartnou, on top of Ed.
Hsrtness, stabbing him, when ho wu shot by
Harve, tho boll entering tho right aide near
the shortribo end ranging toward tho book,
from which bo died an hour later.
THE RESULT SUMMED UP.
At this juncture outside parties interfered,
and quieted tho row. After things had, in a
manner, quieted down, and upon examination,
Ed Uartnees wu found to bo badly out up and
will die, being stabbed mortally In throe
Discos, and literally cat all over. Harve
Hartnou received one severe cat in the back,
near ths hips, which will most likely put an
end to bis career,
Tho Jury of inquost ordered that Harve
Hartnou bo hold in a bond of threo hundred
dollars for hia appoarance at ths October term
of Union superior court. The bond wu glvon,
and tho party role*tod.
Washington Whitmore loaves a wife and
one child. Tho affair wu a more terrible shock
to tho community than pen or words can
picture.
