The people between Augusta and , Aiken—ths Horae Creek Valley folks are up In anna, at the proposed rulse In /treat car farca of 100 per cent. They have appeared before the South , Carolina Railroad Commission and protested—they are still protesting | and they declare they are going to continue to proteal. If the road is losing money, it would he much better they declare tempo rarily to reduce the number of cate In operation which could lie put hack when business is better. But thr rates nnoe rlaeed will doubtless remain raised Certainly Ihe raise in rates, this doubling of the fares between Augusta end Aiken, la going to make It twice as expensive to shop In Au gusta. The people effected ere surely going to have lust that much less money to spend lor anything they may desire to buy In Augusta. Augusta's trade bodies ought to enter a vigorous protest along with the protest of the people In the Horse Creek Valley against the proposed raise In fares between Augusta and Aiken. NOW FOR FULL STEAM AHEAD. Times are steadily gating better all over this country. Saturday wne a good trading day not only In Augusta but raporte from Athene. Atlanta, and other southern cities, note the picking up of trade, and the doiug of a larger volume of business. The worst Is long since over and It Is full steam ahead for the people of this country. Cnormoua orders have been placed in thle country horn abroad and America la going to he taxed to help feed and clothe the world while the nations remain at war. Cheer up and get busy. Business must he done and it la but a short time till Christmas. Augusta .wants all the steam she ran get to make up for lost time, and The Herald alnrerely trusts that the application of the Georgia Road to discontinue any passenger service will not be granted by the Railroad Commission. With a showing of near ly doubling the net earnings of this road laat year, the Georgia Is amply able to maintain all tta present sched ules and to contribute tte share to bear It* part In pushing the business ot this section. Certainly if any trains are L he discontinued, they ought to be the trains that are earn ing less and costing the road more to maintain. Thee# trains are the fast trains—the through trains, which ren der comparatively little service to the people along the Georgia Road and to the trade territory of Augueta. We trust the Georgia w-tll maintain all Its trains tor the tourist season al least, but If any are to be discon tinued, It will he better for the road to get rid of the most coatly trains and It will be better for a much lar ger number of people to retain the present splendid local service of t'.e goad. Be a sport Mr Wickersham and keep on all the trams. / yooK/oOW rwe vmiF€ 1/jAuJnT NT r=r - £ I Feeuwtj Wfct-L amO • -StfJU \ inSE: ' - - I Folt A F€W t>j 6 _ Et c d ■ \ - „ _ - - - ; THC *1 r TO O l ' " .r"...

Ho Billy kissed hi* mother good bye, and off he started on hts vaca tion. lie traveled all day, and when It was about sunset Hilly I’lg begat, to think of the nice box of dinner he had in his dress suitcase. But Just as he sst down under a tree where he thought he could rest for the night lie heard someone say: "Don't think of eating out here; come right home with mty Mrs. Bruin would never forgive me If l let you sit out here when we havs such a fine home very near.” - ■ »~Tn '■■■■" Jr*/'/** - Cv rx> 3£D Billy Pi;; did not feel happy \yhen he saw Mr. Bruin smiling down at him for he hud come up behind Billy Pig and stood looking at him as he sat on the ground. But Mr. Bruin wus so Pleasant and so urgent in his desire to have Billy Pig lor u guest that Billy Pig picked up his suitcase and fol lowed Mr. Bruin lo his home. "Mere is Billy Pig, Matilda," eal<l Mr. Bruin to Ills wife "1 found him sitting under a tree eating his supper. 1 Knew younvould never forgive me if 1 did not bring him home.' 1 "What have you in your suit case?” asked Mrs. Itruin. her eyes looking l longingly.at Billy liff's well-filled ease.! "Oh. that contains my clothes and some food for me." indeed. Well. Matilda." said Mr. Bruin, "you must take care of the food Billy 111 has in there. It will spoil before morning. I am sure." *‘l think 1 will go to bed If you do not mind," said Hilly Pig, after a while, 'i am taking a vacation and I want to see as much of the world as 1 can before I return home.” "To t'e sure, to be sure," said Mr. ‘ Bruin "Matilda, get Billy Pig a can- ' die and show him up the stairs to his j bedroom Billy Pig drank some porridge and j then took his candle and went up stairs to his room. He felt very un- j comfortable and when he saw that the, door did not have a lock he felt more 1 ao. His suit case Mrs. Bruin would not I permit him to take upstairs, saying It: would take up too much room, as the bedroom was small, but she gave him his pajamas and Billy Pig began to undress when he heard a sound that made him listen. The stain creaked and Billy Pig heard someone at the door. His heart seemrd toctop beating he w-as eo frightened Then Billy PtR very softly got down on the floor and listened. "He Isn't asleep yet," said Mrs Bruin "We will eat his eske and cook ies first and save him for dinner to morrow." Then Billy Pig trembled more than ever, for he knew that the Bruins had enticed lint into their house only to make a dinner of htm. He waited until the light went out in the room below and then he put on i the clothes he had taken off and Med INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad , . his pajamas in n little bundle. This ho put on tho window gill. Then very, very softly he took the sheet from the bed and went to the window and looked down. ”1 could almost jump down,” he thought; "but I guess I might make a mdse, and the Bruins would chase nit." Hu he tied the sheet to the bedpost and got out on the window sill taking his little bundle under his arm. ! Then he caught hold of the end of the sheet and slid down to the ground. And then Billy Pig ran as he never ran before; he ran on and on and on until the sun was peeping up In the east before he stopped to even take a long breath. He sat down on a big stone by the road to rest, and was wondering how he could get some breakfast, when he heard someone coming down the road. lie started to run, thinking it might he Mr. Bruin or oven Mrs. Bruin, hut when he saw It was n dog he waited for him to come up to him.

WOMEN WHO KILL -r- Occasionally there is an exception to the rule that any female who wholly disreputable and has not a pos itive squint ran kill anybody she chooses and go free.

The afternoon that Frank had told Helen of his love for her and «Uso promised her never to drink again. Paul Van Buren had been in the office late —after thd other employes had gone—and had overheard Helen and Frank talking. He had laughed at them and gone out. After he had gone Frank said to Helen, “Now what was that fellow doing in the office this time of day? Up to some more of hts crookedness I suppose, so I guess, girlie, we had better be on the lookout for trouble." A few days after this Frank was called into the office of Van Buren, the head of the firm. The "old man" acted very strangely when Frank came In. He told Frank to take a seat and seemed lost In thought for some min utes. Suddenly he reached In hts desk and turning to Frank he handed him a bank check. Looking narrowly at Prank he said, "What do you know of WAR MAPS AND PEACE MAPS H£W HELEN HELPED CHAPTER VIII —THE FORGED CHEQUE. “Giv* Me Tim* and I Will Find the Culprit.” Far more interesting than the war maps that mark the devastation of armies, are the peace maps that picture the great constructive work on this continent. North America is finding itself. It is developing its own resources; develop ing its strength. The advertising columns in this and other leading newspapers are the Ameri can peace maps. They tell of the march of industry, the great work of construction and up building. No man can be a daily reader of ad vertising without being a better patriot. this affair?" Frank looked at the check, it was for $1,500, and made out to Frank Dem ins, signed by Van Buren for the firm and indorsed In what appeared to be Frank's signature. "What have you done with that mon ey?" asked Van Buren. At first Frank could not grasp what he was talking about, but when he finally did. he could only say In a dazed way, "And you accuse me' of this forgery?” “It is pretty hard for me to believe.* Peming, but there is your name and the money is gone, so what am I to do?" "Mr. Van Buren,” said Frank, "I have worked for you ever since I was a boy and I am as innocent of this as you are yourself, and before you con demn me, give me a chance and I will find the culprit."
