There was not a cloud in the sky. Roger Delane had arrived and the Bings were giving a dinner that evening. The best people of Hazelmead were coming over In motorcars. Phyllis and Roger had a long ride .together that day on the new Kentucky saddle horses. Mrs. Bing had Btfent the morning In Hazelmead and had stayed to lunch with Mayor and Mrs. Stacy. She had returned at ,.four and cut some flowers for the table and, gone to her room for an .hour's rest when the yoitbg people returned. She was not yet asleep - when Phyllis came into the big bedroom. Mrs. Bing lay among the cushions on her couch. She partly rose, tumbled the cushions into a pile and leaned against them. '"Heavens! I'm tired!" she exclaimed. "These women In Hazelmead hang onto one like a lot of uungry cats, Aiiey an nuui muuejr for one thing or another?Red Cross or Liberty bonds or fatherless childrem or tobacco for the Midlers or books ,for the library. My word K I'm broke and it seems as If each of my 1 legs hang by a thread." -Phyllis smiled as she stood looking down at her mother. "How beautiful you look!" the fond mother exclaimed. "If he didn't pro, pose to-day, he's n chump." "Eut he did," said Phyllis. "I tried to keep him from it, but he just would propose in spite of . me." The girl's face was red and serious. She sat down in n chair and began to-remove her hat. Mrs. Blng rose Wddenlyi and stood facing Phyllis. thought you loved him," she said ;tfllh a look of surprise. !'

Do you think you can'afford to play with a man like that? He won't stand for itn"( "Let him sit for It then and, mother, you might as well know, first as last, that I am not playing with him." ' There was a calm note of firmness In the voice of the girl. She was prepared for this scene. She had known It was coming. Her mother was hot with irritating astonishment. The calmness of the girl In suddenly beginning to dig a grave for this dear ambition?rich with promise?in the very day when it had come submis- I eively to their feet, stung like the j t tOOlll or a serpenr. ane siuvu very | erect and said with an Icy look In her face: "You young upstart! What do you menu?" There was a moment of frigid silence in which both of fhe women began to turn cold.'' Then Phyllis answered very calmly as she sat looking down at the bunch of violets in her hand: "It means that I am married, mother." * Mrs. Ring's face turned red. There was a little convulsive movement of the muscles around her mouth. She folded her arms on her breast, lifted her chin a bit higher and asked in a polite toue, although her words fell like fragments of cracked ice: "Married! To whom are you married?" I "To Gordon King." f Phyllis spoke casually as if be were a piece of ribbon thut she had bought at a store. ? Mrs. King sank Into a chair and ;covered her face with her hands for :hal? a moment. Suddenly she picked up a slipper that lay at her feet and flung It ut the girl. o j "My God!" she exclnlmed. "What fc nasty liar you are!" f It was not ladylike but, at that moment the lady was temporarily absent. "Mother, I'm glad you say that," the girl answered still very calmly, although her lingers trembled a little as she felt the violets, and her voice was not quite steady. "It shows that I aiq not so stupid at home as I am uf School." . The girl rose and threw down the . violets and her mild and listless manner. A look of defiance filled her face and her figure. Mrs. Uiug arose, her eyes aglow with anger. /"I'd like to know what you mcau," she said under her breath. "I mean that If I am a ltnr, you taught me how to be it. Ever since I was knee-high, you have been teaching me to deceive my father. 1 am not going to do It any longer. I am going to find my father and tell him the truth. I shall not wait another minute. >He will give me better ad?vice than you have given, I hope."r The words hud fallen rnpldly from her lips aud, as the last one was spoken, she hurried out of the room.

She sent In word that site must see him alone and as soon as possible. He dismissed the men with whom he had been talking and Invited her Into his private office. "Well, girl, I guess I know what Isi on your mind," he said. "Go ahead." Phyllis began to cry. "All right! You do the crying and I'll do the talking," he went on. '1 feel like doing the crying myself, but if you want the Job, I'll resign, it to you. Terliaps you can do enough of that for both of us. I began to smell a rat the other day. So I sent for Gordon King. He came this morning. I had a long talk with him. He told me the truth. Why didn't you tell nie ? What's the good of having a father utiless you use him. at times when his counsel is likely to be worth having? I would have made a good iather, if I had had half a chance. I ti/iould like to fcave been your friend and confidant in this important enterprise. I should have been a help fo you. But, somehow, I couldn t get on the board of directors. You and your mother have been running the ylant all by yourselves and I guess It's pretty near bankrupt. Now, my girl, there's no use crying over split . tears. Gordon King is not the man of my choice, but we'must all take hold and try to buld him up. Perhaps we can make him pay."/ "I do not love him," Phyllis robbed. "You married hlm# because you wanted 'to. You were not coerced?" "No, sir." "I'm sorry, but you'll have to take your share of the crow with the rest of us," he went on, with a note of sternness in his tone. "My girl, when I make a contract I live up to It and I Intend that you shall do the same. You'll have to learn to love and cherish this fellow, If he makes It possible. You and your mother believe in woman's rights. I don't object ro tnnt, nut you mustn't tninK that you have the right to break your agreements unless there's a good reason for it. My girl, the marriage contract is the most binding and sacred of all contracts. I want you to do your bo3t to make this one a snccess." There was the tinkle of the telephone bell.

GKA?SA\ BONNER. .1 cofrtiCMi r wutun htmvtn.i union THE THREE CAMELS. ~~ / "Hello," said Camel One, "liere we are la tlie big city. It Is quite a contrast from our desert home." "It is indeed," said Camel Two. "But I am glad the weather -is a little ttiilder. The other night when we were walking down to our stable home it was snowy and rainy and very chilly." ^ "It seems strange," said Camel Three, "that they cannot get enough people to act. It seems strange that they need us"too. "That shows how important camels are. And they've always said we weren't very bright. If we weren't very bright we could never have gone on the stage." . "We didn't go on the stage with our brains," said Camel One. "We walked' there with our long legs." Now the three camels belonged to a theater which was giving a play about the desert. Every day the Camels were walked up to the theater and every-evening after the theater was out they were walked down to their stable. "Ah," said Camel Three, "we must have some brains or we couldn't have gone on the stage. I don't mean that we couldn't have walked on it hut we couldn't have really acted on it." "We have some brains," said Camel One, "hut not many. They are what you call few and fur between." ".Brains aren't few and far between. What brains a creature has are near together, in the head," said Camel Three. " OH, very wen," saia uamei uue. "I think," said Camel Three,* "It takes a great actor to be able to walk across the stage properly. Poor actors and actresses look like sticks." "I have never seen one look like a stick," said Camel j One. "All the Look Like Sticks. actors and actresses I've seen have had arms and legs and faces and hair too. Sticks dou't have all that." "You're absurd," said Camel Three. "I mean that actors and actresses who are poor at their work are Just about as awkward as sticks. Of course they aren't really sticks." "Then I wish," said Camel One, "you wouldn't talk in that way. I got quite excited thinking about actors and actresses who looked like sticks, quite excited. And I don't wish to get excited." "You don't have to," said Camel Three. "But if you say things like that 1 must," said Camel One. "You don't have to at all," said Camel Three. "Just sny to yourself, Vr,.... Imt-n f'omnt nA mnffpr what > Kl ? lUk/n iiv.1 Y? VUiiivi, ?.vr . - - Camel Three says, you mustn't get excited.'" "I'll try that," said Camel One. And he began saying over and over to himself, 'Now look here, Camel, no matter what Camel Three says, you mustn't get excited.'" "Ah," said Camel Three, "they couldn't have had this play without us. We have gone into circuses it Is true, but now we have also gone od the stage. We've been a part of a play and a most Important part." "A most Important part," said Camel Two, "sometimes like the scenery. Most Important." "We aren't scenery," said Camel Three. "We're camels." "Well, I know that," said Camel Two. "So one knows better than I do that I am a camel. Hut still I heard some one say we were a part of the scenery. So we must he. We are part of the scenery as well as being camels. We're more than we thought we were. "For some one said, 'Those camels are such a beautiful part of the seen erv.' Now what do you matte ui that?" * "I make of that," said Camel Three, "that we made the scene much more real. Just as if they were giving a play with a scene in a children's nursery. It would be suitable, wouldn't it, to have a few children around now, wouldn't it? In the same way it is suitable to have us in this play." "What does suitable mean?" the other camels asked. "The thing!" said Camel Three. "Fine." the other camels agreed, as they trudged into their stable for a good night's rest. ? A preliminary hearing was hold in magistrate's court in (taffncy Thursday. in the case of the. State vs. Clyde MeCrnw, a young white man, who is accused of cutting another young white man named Jtije Evans, at New Pleasant church in Cherokee county, where a singing school was in progress on March 13. The magistrate deemed the evidence sufficient to hold the defendant to court, but he was released after entering into a bond in the sum of $30(1 for his appearance at tiie next term of,court of sessions. BIGHAM SENTENCED TO CHAIR Florence Murderer Was the, Killer of Five People. The jury1- in the case of Edmund Eigham, charged with the murder of five members of his family at Pampllco, in Florence county in January, on yestefday afternoon returned a verdict of guilty, and Judge Memminger promptly overruling a motion for a new trial, sentenced the condemned man to die in the electric chair between the hours of 10 and 2 o'clock on Friday, April 8. Bigham turned pale when the verdict was read and his face lost the smile that it had worn during the trial, but when asked what he had to say before being sentenced, he leaned forward from the dock and, iri' a clear and unshaken voice replied: "Nothing except'that I am innocent. I know nothing df how that crime was committed. That is the truth, so help me, God!" "That's all I have to say," continued Bigham, who was charged with shooting his brother, mother, sister and the latter's two adopted children. "I wish my mother could come down and tell how that thing happened. I wish that little boy had lived when 1 asked Dr. W. H. Boston to save his life. He would, have told the ^same things my wife and I told. "Judge, T hope you will give me time so some of the people who testified here against me may have a chiitnce to come forward and tell the truth and not come too late, like Judas making his offering of the thirty pieces of silver. "I do hope to say something more, and I hope you will take no exception to it. As far as you are concerned, I have had a fair trial, but if people had had time to think things over, consider and take it up with their God, they would have testified differently." Edmund !\ Bigham, defendant In one of. the .most sensational cases ever tried in this state, in which he is charged with mur.der in connection with the deaths of.jiis brother Smiley and four other members of his family in Florence county went on the stand in his own defense last Saturday. Preceding him on the stand at the afternoon session were his wife and his 14-year-old daughter, Eouise. The t^itimony of the members of the Big ham family, -which had been expected | drew an even larger crowd of spectator^ than had marked previous sessions of the-trial. ? v Mrs. Bigham told in .much detail the story of the happenings at the Bighorn home on January 1G,. the day of the tragedy, in which Mrs. AT. AT. Bigham, the defendant's mother: Mrs. ATargie Black, his sister; L. Smiley Bigham. a brother and Leo and John AlcCracken, adopted children of Mrs. Black, were the victims. She gave her testimony as if reading from a notebook ,nnd even <under cross-examination by Solicitor Gasque showed no signs of-nervousness. Louise Bigham, the young daughter also told a story that duplicated that of her mother's .except in minor details. Her memory failed in some details vitally affecting her father's defense. When called-upon to recognize Detective Eichelberger-and say whether she had made^. certain statements to him. she disowned ever having seen the detective. . , Edmund Bigham gave a detailed story of his actions from January S to the time of thp death of his relntii-oc "Ro Qnnkrv In n rIn.np voice and appeared to havei an excellent memory for details. The continuity of his story was broken, however, when he reached the cros^-examination stage and when a Question came up that was not easily answered, he would lean toward Solicitor .Gasque, asking him to "hold on a minute," or "just wait." Breaks ,lnto Sobs., "When he described the finding of. his brother's body, Blgham showed the first sign of feeling, breaking into sobs, and it was several minutes before he could continue. Bigham made a statement concerning the financial affairs' of the family telling of loans he had made and declaring he never had received any share in his father's estate. The family owed him, he said, something like. $26,000 and he had given them a mortgage covering the difference between that amount and $47,000, the amount named in the face of the deed made to him by the rest of the family. ,It was tliisi deed, he said, his wire sougnt 10 record the day he was.placed in jail. On cross examination Bigham was asked why he had kept this deed in his possession after it had been refused record. He declared that Monroe Spears, of Darlington, had told him to keep the deed, but admitted Mr. Spears never had seen the paper. "Didn't he tell you to destroy that deed 01* it would break your neck?" shouted the solicitor. "No, he didn't." replied the witness, "if he had 1 would have don? it." The reply caused a roaf of laughter in the courtroom and resulted in Judge Memminger declaring a recess until 8 o'clock p. m. 1 With sobbing voice, the defendant told of how he had seen his mother staggering in the yard, her face covered with blood. He had just returned from a short trip to Robert Foxworth to see him ahotjt hauling some wood. When he had left the house with his family, lie said he had seen Smiley, his brother, standing near some bee hives. i "The last time I saw Smiley was right there," he said, "as I came ^t the top of the red hill. I saw Smiley, his hand in front of him, going across the road. About sixty yards from the house. T saw mother." Describing incidents about the house the morning after the tragedy. Bigham said that shortly after daylight ho opened the blinds and then went out to the lot with Mr. Flowers. "He says T gave him a pistol; I take his word for it, for 1 don't know. Between me and my God T never went out of | that yard from that time till Sunday night. I don't remember telling the searchers the direction to truke to find Snuley's body. I did tell the direction 1 had seen him going." Sam Haynes, a witness for the defense testified to finding tracks which he believed to have been made by Smiley Bigham tending in the dime tion towards the woods where sinn- | [ oy's body was rnitnd. He had followed those tracks which he said, matched the shoes on the dead man's body. Haynes testified he had found a wash stand in Edmund's room forced I open and expressed the belief Smiley [ had taken a pearl handled pistol from it. Alex McWhite and E. A. Hinds also testified to seeing1 the tracks described | by Haynes. 1ml the latter admitted the footprints would not have shown if Smiley had gone to the woods by the route described by Edmund. Joseph Ifyman, another witness J testified be heard a shot in the di| motion in which Smiley Highnm's body was found, at 7 or S o'clock (lie | niglu before the body was discovered| Edmund Highain was with him wh6n lie heard the;shot, he said, and he had advised the seareiiers to go in the, direction from w.hich lie heard the shot. Ft. F-F. Williams also testified to having heard this shot. It. Jj. llnssen swore that Smiley Hicham luid told him he "was broke atul would rather be dead than like he war." 'Mrs. May Bigham, wife of the defendant, took the stand this after- , noon and told the story of the day of the tragedy. She said her husband and his brother Smiley had gone into the wood and did not come back for dinner. When Edmund came home, she said, he ate and dressed and the family started to Pamplico in an automobile. On the way back ho'me, the witness said, they saw Smiley crossing the road towards the woods and the elder Mrs. Bigham coming from the house. She said Edmund threw his arms around about his mother and took her back of the house, and that Mr. Garrison assisted him in carrying her body and that of the little boy into the house. Mrs. Bigham swore her husband did not leave the house the night after the killing. She identified the pearl handled revolver as belonging to her Vmahnnri nnrt testified that, so far as she knew, it was in a drawer on the day of the; killing. Testifying about, the deeds to the Bigham property, the witness said when she took the deed from the clerk of the court she hid it in an outhouse near Pamplico and it was her intention to try to keep the deed. She found the will, of Mrs. Black, one of ' those killed, she said, after the tragedy and had given it to Attorney King. She also admitted she had slipped a bottle of chloroform to her husband while he was in jail, but said she had no idea he wanted to co/nmit suicide. On cross-examinaton Mrs. Bighorn said her hushand did not leave the premises while she was preparing breakfast the morning after the tragedy. She denied that her husbandj abused his mother and sister on January S, as testified to by state's witnesses. Mrs. Bla.ck*had left the house and gone to Mrs. Kirton's, she said, but she did not know' when Mrs. Bigham and the children left the Jiou^e.
