WEDNESDAY. MAY 20. “7he Story of Waitsfill Baxter” Copyright, 1913, by Kmte Douglas Wiggin « Author of “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm” PROLOGUE. Strength and interest of quit lives in the New England o three-quarters of a century ag provide the framework of “Tb Story of Waitstill Baxter. " Tha is the skeleton. The flesh am blood of human beings, livin and loving and moving in a work of their own that is a miniature picture of the greater world out side, are also there. The story is a cross section of life as seer and described by a woman wh has been well called “America’; greatest living woman novelist.’ Amid the hills of New Englanc are many men and women liki 'Waitstill and Patience Baxte? and their father, Ivory Boyntor, and his afflicted mother am. funny Cephas Cole, who woo; hopefully, but with small chanc. of success. They find their way into books but seldom, for i takes a master hand to describe faithfully the doings of rea people. And that is the reasor. why “The Story of Waitstill Baxter" has won highest praisi from critics who know a gooa book when they see one. (Continued from Yesterday.) Pntty ami Waitstill. with some ol the girls who had come long distances 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 Bever have given Mark Wilson a se< end thought bad he not taken her to drive on that afternoon In early May The drive, too. would have quickly fle from ber somewhat fickle memory had it not been for the kbu. The kiss was 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 Wo Be Continued Tomorrow.)

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 not having hotel accommodations was the Southern Burgeons Congress with START AN ENDLESS GRAIN FOR YOUR BABY’S CAMPAIGN Get Ten of Your Friends To gether and Have Each Pledge Their Assistance in Your Campaign DO THIS DURING “BOOSTER’S PERIOD” Fifty Thousand Extra Votes Allowed on Each Yearly Sub scription Turned in Before 9 on Saturday Night. “BOOSTER PERIOD.” “Boßter Period” ends 9:00 p. m. May 30th. During “Booster Period” 100,'000 extra votes will be given for each yearly subscription, either old or new, turned in by candidates und their friends, and for every club of 3 Mi yearly subscriptions turned In an extra ballot of 500,000 votes extra 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. SLIGHT CHANGE IN NORTH AUGUSTA CAR SCHEDULE A slight change In the schedule of the last car leaving tor North Au gusta will he made Friday night. The car has been departing from ♦he city at 11:15 o’clock. Beginning Friday night It will leave at. 11 o'clock. The reason for this change In the schedule Is the outcome of a request from the folks on the “other side.” Splendid for Rheumatism. “I think Chamberlain's I.lnlment Is Just splendid for rheumatism,” writes Mrs Dunburgh, Eldrldge, N.

However, it will be no use to talk about another hotel unless the bond Issues passes on June Ist. This and a number of oilier enterprises are abso lutely dependent upon the bond Issue passing. There were reports from various committees of the M. & M. last night and splendid work Is being done. DERAILMENT ON TODAY About 20 Cars Left the Track at 91 Mile Post. Day Pas senger Trains Transferring Passengers. Freight train No. 6, East-bound, on the Georgia railroad, was derailed at the 81-mile post at 8 o’clock this morning, about 20 cars left tho track. The cause of the derailment has not been definite ly arrived at but it is believed that a broken truck was the cause. A wrecking train left Augusta today for the scene of the accident and It is believed that the track will be clear by about 8 o’clock tonight. All of tho day trains are transferring passengers.

"Did you know the Boston Republic published advertisements and then sent the hills to the New llavon?" “Yes. X read Mr. Byrnes’ testimony along that line."
