WN bit of information was hardly

"In the direction of the stable. At that
Amos was resting in the living

the barn, she called the man softly
but distinctly.
“Talak!™ she sald. “Talak, where
are you?
No answer eame. He had probably
left at last.
Passing out through the rear door,
she climbed a little knoll at the side
of the barnyard. From this eleva
tion she could look across the fleldl!
lying between her and the plne woods
to the south.
Across the most distant of these
flelds she spled a figure walking
slowly. It carrled something long
over fts shoulder—it looked like a‘
stout stick-—and from this hung an
object which she thought she recog
nized as the bundle containing all
Talak's earthly possessions.
She breathed a little more freely
now that she knew that the Pole had
really started on his journey.
“Pa and he have had so many
words lately that it's made me awful
ly uncomfortable,” she muttered. “I
don't teel somehow as if pa had done
right by him, and yet he mavs the
poor fool hasn't done a decent day’s
work since the death of his dog.
Well, with a sigh of pity, “I supposel
Nig was his only friend. Anyway.}
#ince he's going, I'm glad he's gone,
1 hope pa will be less upset now. I
don't understand him these days. He's
worse than ever!” |
Which admisison would have
proved to an unprejudiced listener
that Martha Chapin’s matrimonial
walk was not a path of roses.
Returning to the house, she set
about preparing supper. As she was/
doing this her husband came into
the kitchen.
“It's getting late,” he remarked.
“Where's Butler gone with that girl?”
“For a walk, I guess,” his wife re
plied. \
“It's time they were back,” he
grumbled. - ‘
“What do you care? his wife rea
soned, gently. “Don't bother so much
about things, pa. It's not good for
you" |
“It's easy enough for you to say,
‘Don’t bother,”” he retored. "“You
don’t need to bother. You don’t have
to work the way [ do om another
man's place and get no credit. Well,
it's coming to an end now.”
His wife looked up eagerly. “You
mean,” she sald, “that you're going
to give up the farm, or”--as he shook
his head —"what do you mean?”
“l mean I'm going to buy the place
myself if it's possible,” he saild. “I've
told you all along that I meant to.
Now I've about got it settled.”
She could not answer Immediately.
When she did she gave no sign of the
disappointment that was tugging at
her heart-strings.
She was thinking of this now as
she got supper for Butler and Ellza
beth.
She had always hoped against hope
that Amos would change his mind
and move to town-—preferably Chi
cago, where she could be near Clif
ford as long as she lived. Now that
'wau out of the question. Her hus
band had, In some way that was mys
terious to her, secured the money
with which to buy the farm. He and
she would probably end their days
here,
Waell, she must try to bear her lot
cheerfully, and not to think about it
now. The duty of this minute was to
call the younge people to supper. If
pa would only-et that young man go
and “wash up!”
She started across the hall to sum
mon Klizabeth. As she did so her
husband's excited voice reached her
ears. At the same moment KEliza
beth's door opened, and the girl hur-
Med down the stairs.
“Oh, Mrs. Chapin;” she gasped.
“What is the matter in there? What
can they be saying?' Then, as the
matron caught her hand nervously
“Mr, Chapin must be vVery angry-—he
must-—*
She got no further, for the sound
of a shot rang through the house,
Pushing past the terrified woman
who tried to detain her, Elizabeth
rushed to the small room back of the
parlor. Opening the door, she stopped
short on the threshold,
In the center of the room stood
John Butler, as white as death, Al
his feet lay the hody of Amos Chapin,
blood oozing from a bullet wound In
his temple.

The Baby's Fortune—(Continued.)
S, Shacklett had often bhoasted
M that she was a Sandedge, and
she made no concealment of her
belief that the Sandedge were higher in
the social scale than the Shackletts. Mr.
Shacklett could remember this even if
he had forgotten where the money had
been hid. Indeed, his mind dwelt upon
it
“You ought to know where we put
the money, You were there; you helped
to do it. 1f the Sandedges is so mighty
much better than the Shackletts, why
n't you mind where we put the money?
Hcy? Tell me that. You're a Sandedge,
and I ain’t nothing but a plain Shack
lett. "T ain’t no trouble for me to forget,
but how can a Sandedge forget. Hey?
Tell me that, When it comes down to
hard sense I reckon the Shackletts is
just as good as the Sandedges.”
But all this did no good. The old peo
ple failed to find their precious store.
They sat and tried to trace their move
ments on the day they had carried the
money to its new place of concealment,
but they never could agree. ‘The death
of the negro was the only event they
could clearly remember Each exclaimed,
many times a day: “Oh, I know!” as if
a flash of memory had revealed to them
the place, but it always ended in nothing,
Cassy soon became accustomed to the
constant talking and hunting for hid
den money, and finally came to the con
clusion that the old people were the
victims of a strange delusion. She com
pared it in her mind to the game of
hide-the-switch which the children play.
At the las., she paid no attention to the
matter than if the old couple had been
a pair of tcddling infants fretting over
some Imaginary trouble.
Captain Estes Honored.
An interesting affair of Monday eve
ning was the dinner party given at the

Now it happened that while Prlvate‘
Chad vick -vas enjaying his soup underl
the gentle auspices of the ladies who!'
had invited him to be their guest, his |
comrades in the trenches and round‘
about had received some news that
scemed to them to be very bad lndeed_l
[t was in the shape of a rumor merely
the forerunner of facts. The news was |
to the effect that General Johnston was |
about to be removed and General Hood |
put in his place. The news had not yet
appeared in the newspapers, and it had |
reached the soldiers before it came to|
the ears of their officers. How, nobodyi
knows. The commander of a brigade in
Virginia made the rounds of his camp |
one night. He saw considerable buslla'
among the troops—fires burning and/|
and rations cooking. Inquiring the cause, |
he was told that the brigade would rc<!
ceive order to march before sunrise the
next morning, The brigadier laughed at
this, thinking it was a joke on the men,
but when he returned to his headquart
rs he found a courier awaiting him with
orders for his brigade to move at dawn
In the same way. General Johnston's
removal was well known to the private
soldiers before the newspapers had
printed the information. The news was
not very well received, for, in spite of
the fact that they had been retreating
from Dalton to Atlanta, the men were
weil enough acquainted with the tac
tics of war to know that these retreats
were masterly, and they felt that their
general was gathering all his resources
well in hand for a decisive battle at
the proper moment.

The Capital City Ciub has ten
dered the entire second floor of its
town club house building to the
Red Cross, Atlanta Chapter, for
whatever use that organization may
see fit to make of it
In accepting the proffer and
thanking the club for its fine gen
erosity and patriotism, Lee Ash
craft, chairman of the Atlanta
Chapter, states that this hospitality
makes possible the concentration of
the local Red Cross forces and a
more co-ordinated activity:
“It makes the Capital City Club
the very center of the Red Cross
settlement,” writes Mr. Ashcrafy,
“and it will bring to our organiza
ticn a new inspiration and a re
newed interest,”
