(Continued from Yesterday.)

ate their luncheon In a shady place un *
der the trees behind the meetinj.
house, for there was un afternoon serv
Ice to come, a service with auothei
long sermon. They separated after tin
modest meal to walk about the com
mon or stray along the road to tin
academy, where there was a hue view
Two or three times during the sum
mer the sisters always went quietly
and alone to the Baxter burying lot
where three grass grown graves lay
beside one another, unmarked save by
narrow wooden slabs, so short that thi
Initials painted on them were almost
hidden by the tufts of clover. Tin
girls had brought roots of pansies am
sweet alyssum and with a knife madi
holes in the earth and planted then
here and there to make the spot a trifl,
less forbidding. They did not spent
to each other during this sacred litth
ceremony. Their hearts were too ful
when they remembered afresh the all
sence of headstones, the lack of care
in the place where the three womei
lay who had ministered to their fathei
borne him children and patiently en
dured his arbitrary and loveless rule
Even Cleve Flanders - grave—the Edge
wood shoemaker, who lay next—evei
his resting place was marked and, wltl
a touch of some one’s imagination
marked by the old man's own lap
stone, twenty-live pounds in weight, a
monument of his workaday life.
Waitstill rose from her feet, brush
tng the earth from her bands, and Pat
ty did the same. The churchyard was
quiet, and they were alone with tb<
dead, mourned and unmourned, loved
and unloved.
‘‘l planted one or two pansies on
the first one’s grave,” said Waitstil
soberly. “I don’t know why we’v<
never done it before. There are no
children to take notice of and remem
ber her; it’s the least we can do, and
after all, she belongs to the family.”
“There is no family and there nevei
was,” suddenly cried Patty. “Oh
Waity, Waity, we are so alone, you
and II We've only each other in all
the world, and I’m not the least bit of
help to you as you are to me! I’m a
silly, vain, conceited, ill behaved thing
but I will be better, I will! You won’t
ever give me up, will you, Waity, even
if I’m not like you? I haven’t been
good lately!”
"Hush, Patty, bush!” And Waitstil
came nearer to her sister with a moth
erly touch of her hand. “I’ll not hav<
you say such things: you are the help
fullest and the lovlngest girl that evei
was, and the cleverest, too. and tb<
liveliest and the best company keeper
“No one thinks so but you,” Patti
responded dolefully, although sin
wiped her eyes as If a bit consoled.
It la safe to say that Patty would

end thought bad he not taken her to
drive on that afternoon In early May
The drive, too. would have quickly fle

IKMIDOUGL4S WIGGIN
Indeed a deceive factor In the situa
tion and had shed a rosy, if somewhat
fictitious light of romunce over the
past three weeks. Perhaps even the
kiss, hud it never been repeated, might
have lapsed into its true perspective
in due course of time had it not been
for the sudden appearance of the stran
ger in the Wilson pew. The moment
that Patty’s gaze fell upon that sash
ionably dressed, instantaneously dls
liked girl. Marquis Wilson’s stock rose
twenty points in the market She
ceased in a jiffy to weigh and consider
and criticise the young roan, hut re
garded him with wholly new eyes.
His figure was better thnu she had
realized, his smile more interesting,
his manners more attractive, his eye
lashes longer; in a word, he had sud
denly grown desirable. A month ago
she could have observed with idle and
alien curiosity the spectacle of his
thumb drawing nearer to another (fem
inine) thumb on the page of the “Watts
and Select Hymn Book.” Now, at the
morning service, she had wished noth
ing so much as to put Mark’s thumb
back into his pocket where it belonged
and slap the girl’s thumb smartly and
soundly as it deserved.
The Ignorant cause of Patty’s dis
tress was a certain Annabel Franklin,
the daughter of a cousin of Mrs. Wil
son’s. Mark had stayed at the Frank
lin house during his three weeks’ visit
in Boston, where he had gone on busl
ness for his father. The young people
had naturally seen much of each other
and Murk’s Inflammable fancy had
been so kindled by Annabel’s doll-like
charms that he had persuaded her to
accompany him to his home and get a
taste of country life iu Maine. Such
is man, such is human uature and such
is life, that Mark had no sooner got the
whilom object of his affections under
his own roof than she began to pall.
Annabel was twenty-three, and, to
tell the truth, she had palled before
more than once. She was so amiable
so well finished—with her smooth flax
en hair, her neat nose, tier buttonhole
of a mouth and her trig shape—that
she appealed to the opposite sex quite
generally and irresistibly as a wortbi
helpmate. The only trouble was that
she began to bore her suitors somewhat
too early In the game, and they nev
er got far enough to propose marriage
Flaws in her apparent perfection np
peared from day to day and chilled
the growth of the various young lovc
that had budded so auspiciously. Sin
always agreed with everybody and ev
erythlng in sight, even to the point ol
changing her mind on the instant it
circumstances seemed to make it ad
visable. Her instinctive point of view
when she went so far as to hold one
was somewhat cut and dried—in a
word, priggish. Her father had an
ample fortune, and some one would in
evitably turn up who would regard
Annabel as an altogether worthy and
desirable spouse. That was what she
bad seemed to Mark Wilson for a full
week before he left the Franklin
house In Boston, but there were mo
ments now when he regretted, fugl
tively, that he had ever removed her
from her proper sphere. She did not
seem to fit Into the conditions of life
in Edgewood. and It may even be that
her most glaring fault had been to de
scribe Patty Baxter's hair at this vefly
Sunday dinner as “carroty,” her dress
altogether “dreadful" and her style of
beauty “unladylike.” Ellen Wilson’s
feelings were somewhat Injured by
these criticisms of her Intimate friend,
and, In discussing the matter privately
with her brother, he was inclined to
agree with her.
And thus, so little do we know of the
prankishness of the blind god, thus
was Annabel Franklin working for her
rival's best Interests, and. Instead of
reviling her In secret and treating her
with disdain In public, Patty should
have welcomed her cordially to ail the
delights of Itlverboro society.
CHAPTER XI.
Haying Time.
EVERYBODY In Rlverboro, Edge
wood, Milliken's Mills, Spruce
Swamp, Duck Pond and Mod
eratlon was “haying.” There
was a perfect frenzy of baying, for It
was the Mouduy after the Fourth, the
precise date In July when the Maine
farmer said good by to repose and
“hayed" desperately and unceaslngl.i
until every spear of green In his see
tlon was mowed down and safely un
der cover.
If a man hud grass of bis own h<
cut It, and If he had none he assisted
In cutting that of some other man. foi
“to hay.” although sn unconventlouu
verb, was, and still Is, a very active
one and in common circulation, at
though not used by the grammarians.
Whatever your trade and whatever
your profession, it counted as naught
in good weather. The fish man stop
ped selling flsli, the meat man ceased
to bring meat, the cobbler as well as
the judge forsook the bench, and even
the doctor made fewer visits than
usual. The wage for work in the hay
fields was a high one. and every man.
boy and horse in a village was pressed
into service.
When Ivory Boynton bad finished
with his own small crop he commonly
went at once to Lawyer Wilson, who
had the largest acreage of hay land in
the township. Ivory was always in
great demand, for he was a mighty
worker in the field and a very giant at
“pitching." being able to pick up a
fair sized haycock at one stroke of
the fork and fling it on to the cart as
if it were n feather.
Lawyer Wllspn always took a hand
himself If*signs of rain appeared, anil
Mark occasionally visited the scene ol
action when a crowd in the field made
a general jollification or when there
was an impending thunderstorm.
In such cases even women and girl
joined the workers and all hands bent
together to the task of getting a load
Into the barn and covering the rest.
Deacon Baxter was wont to call
Mark Wilson a “worthless, whey faced,
lily handed whelp.” but the descrip
tion, though picturesque, was decided
ly exaggerated. Mark disliked manual
labor; but, having imbibed enough
knowledge of law In his father’s office
to be an excellent clerk, he much pro
ferred traveling about, settling the de
tails of smHll cases, collecting rents
and bad bills, to auy form of work on
a farm. This sort of life, on stage
coaches and railway trains or on long
driving trips with his own fast “trot
ter,” suited his adventurous disposi
tion and gave him a seqfce of impor
tance that was very necessary to his
peace of mind. He was not especially
Intimate with Ivory Boynton, who
studied law with his father during all
vacations and in every available hour
of leisure duriug term time, as did
many another young New England
schoolmaster.
Mark's father’s praise of Irory’s
legal ability was a little too warm to
please bis son, as was the commenda
tion of one of the county court judges
on Ivory’s preparation of a brief in a
certain case in the Wilson office
Ivory had drawn it up at Mr. Wilson's
request merely to show how far he un
derstood the books and cases be was
studying, and he had no Idea that it
differed in any way from the work of
any other strident. All the same.
Mark’s own efforts in a like direction
had never received any special men
tion.
When be was in the hayfleld he also
kept as far as possible from Ivory, be
cause there, too, he felt a superiority
that made him for the moment a trifle
disconcerted. It was no particular
pleasure for him to see Ivory plunge
his fork deep into the heart of a hay
cock, take a firm grasp of the handle,
thrust forward his foot to steady him
self and then raise the great fragrant
heap slowly and swing it up to the
waiting hay cart amid the applause of
the crowd.
Rodman would be there, too. helping
the man on top of the load and getting
nearly buried each time as the mass
descended upon him, but doing his
slender best to distribute and tread it
down properly, while his young heart
glowed with pride at Cousin Ivory’s
prowess.
Independence day had passed, with
Its usual gayetles for the young peo
ple, in none of which the Baxter fam
ily bad joined, and now, at 11 o’clock
on this burning July morning, Wait
stlll was driving the old mare past the
Wilson farm on her way to the river
field.
Her father was working there, to
gether with the two hired men whom
he took on for a fortnight during the
height of the season. If mowing, rak
ing, pitching and carting of the pre
cious crop could only have been done
at odd times during the year or at
night he would not have embittered
the month of July by paying out mon
ey for labor. But nature was inexora
ble In the ripening of bay, and Old
Foxy was obliged to auccumb to the
Inevitable.
Waitstill had a basket packed with
luncheon for three and a great demi
john of cool ginger tea under the wag
on seat. Other farmers sometimes
served hard older or rum, but her fa
ther’s principles were dead against
this riotous extravagance. Temperance,
In any and all directions, was cheap,
and the deacon was a very temperate
man, save In language.
The fields on both sides of the road
were full of haymakers, and every
where there was bustle and stir.
There would be three or four men—one
leading, the others following—slowly
■winging tbelr way through a noble
piece of grass, and the smell of the
mown fields In tbe sunshine whs
sweeter than honey in tbe comb.
There were patches of black eyed
Susans In tbe meadows here and there,
while pink and white hardback grew
by the road, with day Ullea and blos
soming milkweed. The bobolinks were
fluting from every tree. There were
thrushes In the Rider bushes and ori
oles In the tops of the elms, and Wait
stlll'a heart overflowed with Joy at be
ing tn such a world of midsummer
beauty, though life during the great
heat and Incessant work of haying
time waa a little more rigorous than

Name Committee to Get New
Commercial Hotel For Augusta
Mr. J. P. Wood is Chairman—Stirring Speech By Mr. Rufus
Brown on Need of New Hotel—However, Will Be No New
Hotel Unless Bond Issue Passes.
Augusta's great need of another
commercial hotel was emphasised at
the meeting of the ways and moans
committee of the Merchants and Man
ufacturers Association last night by
Mr. Rufus H. Brown, cashier of the
Georgia Railroad Bank, who said
that a movement should he placed on
foot at onco to get a hotel for Au
gusta which would enable this city
to care for the people who came here.
Mr. Brown said that the Georgia
Bankers Association, with between
600 and 700 members at each conven
tion, would be glad to come to Au
gusta but there aro no hotel accom
modations. Another convention which
Augusta lost last year because of her

will be given.
To every man woman and child In
terested in The Augusta Herald’s Show
er of Gold contest, the contest manager
would like to say with all the emphasis
he ran put Into written words, these
few: “There is nothing so effective as
unison of action.”
Start an endless chain todky, you
workers who have your heart set on
victory. There Is « way of securing such
a vast number of workers that, your
own efforts will pale Into insignifance
beside the combined forces.
Here’s the way to do it:
See ten of your friendH and have each
one of the ten pledge his or her assist
ance to you. Then have each of tho
ten promise to see five of their friends
and get them to work for you. Have
each of the five see two apiece, and
each of the two one apiece.
Now let’s see what we have. We start
ed with ten. Very well. Ten each sees
five, that makeH fifty. Add that to the
original ten and we now have sixty
workers. The fifty each see two, that
makes one hundred. And to the sixty
and wo have one hundred and sixty. The
hundred each promise to get one more,
and that will make another hundred,
which added to tho previous total makes
tlio stupendous sum of two hundred and
sixty people working for you.
Now, of course, it isn’t possible to dr
these things Just exactly in that way.
But the above shows a good example of
how to work the thing. Organization
is the secret of success. Get organized.
Get everyone that knows you, interest
ed In your campaign. Bridle every
available force and use it to your own
ends. Don’t attempt to do everything
alone. It Is not the way to accomp
lish the big things. Get your Mends In
terested In your case. Provide them
with receipt hooks. Give them Instruc
tions. Tell them everything you know
about the contest, and the manner in
which yotl work. Make a worker for
yourself out of everv friend you have.
This is the one big time to call upon the
resources which He dormant and un
used within your friends. Those re
sources are yours hy reason of your
friendship and you are at liberty to call
upon them to he exercised in behalf of
your cause at the present time. And
when you have them, organize them arid
direct them in the way which will ac
complish the best results. Ingenuity In
leading the powers that arc at your
command constitute the greatest part
of your equipment. Plan sagaciously.
Book for openings against which you
can throw a strong force and by a lit
tle generalship capture votes. Think all
the time. Keep your head clear and
have your eyes open for possible sub
scribers. Be alive and wideawake all
the time.
If you do all these things you need
have no fear as to the outcome on the
day when the contest will close.
Remember that subscriptions secured
during “Booster Period” will have a
greater vote getting value than at anv
other time during the contest. Make
your very best efforts during this offer.
