Its sole occupant, a very broad shouldered young man, leaned back on the cush ions and smoked a contemplative ciga rette, abstractedly watching through half closed eyes the stream of traffic whirling past. He was a good natured. Indolent looking young man, one of the kind who very evidently enjoyed being at ease. Yet in the dark eyes was a cer tain light of determination, a certain hint of Intent power that made one quite Inclined to forgive his apparent laziness. Suddenly the young man sat erect. He leaned far forward, peering intent ly at a figure on the crowded side walk. He watched It steadfastly for a moment, while his Indolence fell from him like a useless cloak, and bls eyes opened wider and wider. Impatiently he flicked the cigarette to the pavement nnd stood up to open the trap above bis head. ‘'Hl!” he called to the cabby. ‘‘l say, there, pull up to the curb and set me down, will you? And be quick about It.” The hansom swerved sharply and drew up at the curb. The young man scrambled out, quite forgetful of his usual slow dignity in ids haste. Ila thrust up a 1.111 to the cabby, and with out waiting for his change he went briskly up the avenue In pursuit of the figure he had Just seen. He elbowed his way along, now side stepping some group which blocked his headlong progress, now all lint breaking Into a run in his eagerness. Ahead of him he caught fleeting glimpses of a large hat with a blue feather that seemed to serve as a nec essary Incentive to his hurrying steps. When tie had almost reached it the blue feather turned a corner Into a quiet side street, and the young man In hot pursuit followed after. Here the sidewalks, being less crowd ed, gave him better opportunity for speed. In n moment he had overtaken the blue feather and touched its wear er lightly on the arm. She turned, nnd her eyes rested on him with a sudden eager light in them. “Ted!" cried the girl happily. “Ted, of all the people in the world!” “You have led me • frightful chase, •■gntty,” he panted, with mock severity. she laughed. “How?” •'I tyas In a hansom on the avenue, nnd I Aaw you passing,” he explained. “1 pullefd up and gave abase afoot.” "Wha» are you doing here?" she de- although her eyes told plainly that she knew very answer to her question. “And anyway? Surely you are here with horses this time of year. I diiTs t suppose there was any (tower on eartll that could drag a Northeroft from Vir ginia at this sea-on.” “A little clipping from a morning pa per early in the week ts responsible for my appearance,” said he. "It stated that you and your mother had Just returned from abroad.” “Oh, really!” she mocked. “I suppose I should feel vastly flattered to be able to bring yon up here. Think of it! The wild turkey shooting must be something wonderful now, to say noth ing of the Redfields hunt. They're rid ing Just now, of course.” “Yes. they're riding.” said he. “But somehow it's pretty tame sport when you're not along. Patty.” She looked nt him suddenly, and a fatnt red crept Into her cheeks. “Oh. pshaw!” she laughed. “You Virginians certainly know how to pny compli ments, don't you?” She said it lightly enough, but her voice was not altogether steady. The young man's sudden and unlooked for appearance seemed to have discon certed her somewhat. "WeVirginlaiis," he repeated thought fully. ' Teen you don't count yourself one of us any longer, Patty?" “Well. 1 fear I'm a bit weaned from the old place.” she confessed. "You see. since father died and we came back here to live with my mother’s people Pve been made to feel that I, or a part of me at least, belongs up here. Father was the Virginian, you know.” The young man stiffened. "You've changed. Patty." ho said flatly and with something like disappointment tn hts voice. "You used to say that you were Virginian to the backbone—that there was no place on earth like It.” “That was before I had seen the other places.” said she. "I see," said he, with a cartain odd constraint, “of course.” Bit by bit he drew out of her an ac count of her travels and experiences during the past three years. He lis tened thoughtfully, but with clouding lie observed at leng'h. THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1909. pain came Into the girl’s eyes. She held out her band to stop him. 1 “Don't!” she said. "Don't! I can’t ' bear It.” i Northcroft caught bis breath sharp ly. “Eh? What’s this?” be cried, rather dazed by this unexpected turn 1 of things. > He looked at her more closely. He saw that her eyes were moist. She turned her bead sharply from him 1 and angrily brushed something from i her cheek. “I—l- suppose Pm ungrateful and unappreciative and all that sort of thing," she confessed lamely, “but, - Ted, honestly, those very things you've I just been saying I didn't care for are : the very things I care for the most. | Pm—l'm homesick, Ted; that’s the, trouble—Just plain, honest, old sash- j toned homesick. I’m tired of all this, j I was never fitted for it. “This life up here—the life they say is eminently proper and fit for me—l simply can’t stand. If you only knew bow I longed to be bar k there—not for a day, as we go now and then occa sionally—but forever, you’d never chide me again. You'd pity me Instead. I try not to show it for mother’s rake, but sometimes I can’t help it. I sup pose it is my father's blood In my veins. To him Virginia and paradise were synonyms.” Northcroft straightened himself. When he was thoroughly aroused he was n decidedly handsome man. Ills brows were drawn together In a little frown; there were lines about the corners of his mouth. He was enjoying the unaccustomed luxury of thinking deeply. Presently be turned to her. There was a great light In his eyes. “Patty,” he asked, “do you know why I came up here?” She shook her head. "I came,” said he, “because ever since you left I have not had a mo ment's pence. You have dominated every thought, every action, every mo ment of my life. 1 couldn’t stand It any longer. When I learned you were back from abroad 1 came up here to see you, to find you a changed and dif ferent Patty, and by so doing to quiet forever all the old uneasiness nnd un rest. I thought you'd laugh at the old lift' and make light of ft—that probably you would have outgrown it and for gotten it. Do you mean what you have Just said?” he ended suddenly. “Every word of It,” she said, with emphasis. “Dearie." he said gently, “why don’t you come back to ft? Why don't you marry me? We'll live on the old place where the Northcrofts have lived ever since Jamestown was built. We'll ride with the Redfield crowd, nnd we'll have a stableful of timber toppers that can't be equaled In seven counties. We’ll”— A light touch on his arm interrupted blin. She was looking at him with ra diant eyes. “Ted, I will,” she said firmly. “When can we go?” “Tomorrow, the day after—any time,” said he. “Tomorrow? Ob, that’s ages In the future. Today, Ted, today. We'll be married this afternoon and start back tonight. Call a cab. We must drive up to the bouse and tell mother.” The Workman and His Tools. It Is related In “Voice and Violin” that “a well known orchestral conduct or was once much annoyed by the con- TXant tuning of a violin, which contin ual long after the musicians were at their -desks, whereupon he remarked rather sharply to a novice: ‘My dear fellow, <Jb"picitse stop all that tuning! You ought to be able to play in tune when the strings'are not exactly cor rect.’ ” This calls to mind two occurrences In Washington. On one occasion a cer tain foreman ot binding in the govern ment printing office was compelled to call a bookbinder's attention to a poor piece of workmanship. The binder made some reference to his poor tools, whereupon the foreman made the epi grammatic remark that “a good work man can do good work with any kind of tools." Not long ago the newspapers had a story of a certain old darky whose education was sadly neglected. He was employed in a cigar store on Penn sylvania avenue. One day after finishing his chores the proprietor and several others saw him sitting on a box with a newspaper, ap parently reading. The proprietor, knowing that he could not read, said to him: “Why. Abe, where did you learn to read? 1 didn't know you could read, and, by the way, Abe. you’ve got the paper upside down.” "Dat’s all right, boss, dat’s all right. A good reader can read mos’ any ways.” MEN PAST FIFTY IN DANGER. Men past middle life have found comfort and relief in Foley's Kidney Remedy, especially for enlarged pros tate gland, which is very common among elderly men. L. E. Morris. Dexter.

On account of his ago we ware afraid he could not stand it ami 1 recommended Foley's Kid ney Remedy, and the first bottle re lieved him. and after taking the sec loud bottle he was no longer troubled with this complaint.” Sold by all druggists. lothLis Al ay you trod Hollis Makes them Right Here in The Seventh Congressional Distrait - i Is Located the Largest, Strongest and Most Progressive Insurance Company in the Entire South and One that Ranks High up in the Standing of All Life Companies in the country.

D. : Oliver, the “millionaire bank president,” of Climax, that would' be romatie were it not a tragedy. | 111, footsore and worn, he sought admittance for lodging a'i the Climax Hotel, Mrs. English, proprietress, one day the first of the year. It was a cold, dreary, winter (lay, and the rain was fall ing in fitful gusts. This kind hearted woman could not refuse although he stated he was penni liim lodging and something to ea less. About the cozy fire in the hotel office were several commer cial men when Oliver entered. They protested, along with regular guests of the house, at this individual, whose appearance was that of a tramp, being ad mitted. Mrs. English’s benevo lence won out, however,, and the man was eared for thlat day, the next and the next. He rapidly regained his health. He brushed up his clothes a bit, but he had no baggage. He told the kind hearted lady one day, after he had been her guests for several days, that he was enroute to Sa vannah, where he expected to go into business; that he was not as ”broke”as he appeared. and he would certainly reward her moth erly attention. This kind lady induced him to go into business in Climax. Then the Climax operations begun! Oliver induced a well known man to go into the busi ness with him. He went further and began, manipulations that were astonish ing. E-. erybody had confidence in him. it appealed, ai.il he soon handled money as it it grew or trees. He began to dress better. lli> was still a guest at the Eng lish House. He bought lands, automobiles, horses, turpentine plants, saw mills, in fact, every thing anybody had to sell. How he managed to get the little cash he paid down on transactions wa; a mystery until his arrest a few davs ago when it was found his bank depositors hail furnished his capital. Soon after he began to buy lands he commenced to pay court to Miss Rosebud English, the beautiful six teeny ear-old daugh ter of the woman who took him in when he was siek and without money and friends. He lavished ; dimonds and other costly presents 'upon her. He took her driving liehnxi the finest horses money could buy. ' J They were married a few j weeks ago. He gave tier $5,000 iin cash and many costly gems as wedding presents. He built the 'finest home in Climax and there | could not be procured enough finery tc furnish 1 it To this ' home he led the noble daughter of a good woman. The tragic part of the story comes next. His wife stood by her husband through' all „ his j operations and believed him mas-| ter of millions. Not until Oliver saw he was trapped, and with an automobile laden with gold and silver and currency made his flight with his young wife to the railroad station did the young wife learn th'e bitter deception. Oliver was caught. His young, broken-hearted wife was sent to her mother Ask for Allen’s Foot-Ease, A powder for swollen, tired hot, smarting feet. Sample sent FREE.

WESTON, Ocean-to-Ocean Walker, Said recently: ‘‘When you feel down and out, feel there is no use living, just take your bad thoughts with you and walk them off. Be fore you have walked a mile things will look rosier. Just try it.’’ Have you noticed the increase in walking of late in every community?
