CAN'T BE BULLIED Majority of Irish Won't Submit To Punishment For Offenses Not Noticed In Ulster London, July 27.?The first effect of the DuiblirV home rule tragedy has been to smash Premier Asqulth's plans for taking up the amending bill tomorrow. The premier announced today that the question had been in definitely postponed. The Irish mem bers are so exasperated over the kill ing of four person and the wounding of many others in the clash yesterday with nationalist volunteers that they are in no frame of mind to grant any concessions to Ulster. The laborites and many liberals support them. The government announced in the House of commons toaay mai uepmij Police Commissioner Harrell, who or dered out the troops, had been sus pended and that his superior commis sioner, Sir John Ross, who expressed a desire to share the responsibility, has resigned. A special inquiry will be held. In; the meantime the demand for the removal of the Scottish bor derers from Dublin has not been granted, largely because an attempt to remove them would be the signal for attacks by the mobs. The nationalist members of parlia ment at a meeting today showed more animus agaaiinst tlie castle than the government.: They consider Viceroy Aberdeen's official family prejudiced against the nationalists. A heated discussion was started in the house of commons by John Red mond, the nationalist leader* who de manded an impartial inquiry into the conduct of the troops and their pun ishment, if the shooting was not jus tified. He demanded also that the reg iment be removed from Ireland, that the proclamation against the importa tion of arms into Ireland be with drawn and that the law be adminis tered impartially. Mr. Redmond compared "this mon strous business-" with the parades of armed volunteers in Belfast. "To such a state of impotence has the British government been reduced in Ireland," he said, "that a subordinate afflcial is able to call in soldiers with out consulting the executive of the country." He expressed the hope that the Irish people would not blame the troops too much and concluded amid cheers: "Fouiyfifths of the Irish people will aot submit any longer to be bullied ind punished for conduct that is al lowed to go scot free in Ulster by an other section of their fellow country men." Augustus Birrell, chief secretary ofj Ireland, blamed Deputy Commissioner, Harrell, who had assumed the whole responsibility, but thechief secretary p>ut the question up to Commissioner Ross as to whether he associated him self with what had been done and de :lared that if he did he would be sus pended also. Mr. Birrell said the major in com mand of the detachment of Scottish Viorf Honied that he gave or JU1UC1C1Q uim _ lers to fire on the people. William Redmond: "He ought to be langed." Lord Robert Cecil. "The ministers >ught to be hanged." Mr. Harrell said the soldiers be came exasperated after several of hem had received severe injuries. Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the >pposition, declared the government's policy was responsible for the tragedy. The prime minister defended the jovernment's impartiality in attempt gn to prevent the importation of irms. He concluded: "The difficulties in Ireland are due o the attempts in this house to gov ;rn a people they cannot understand, * AAiiinnort >y a parliament lmpeneviuj or the task." Arthur J. Balfour and others criti :ised the government for making icapegoats of officials. Condensed PASSENGER SCHEDULE Piedmont & Northern Ry. Co. Effective May 24th, 1914. GEEENWOOD, 8. C. Arrival*.

BEAUTIFUL MAID MARY j : 1 O ST. 11 ??^3 I J By HARMONY WELLER. . J 1 Mary Perkins did not answer the ad vertisement for a maid oat of a spirit of adventure. On the contrary, she was In absolute need of employment | in order to make both ends of her financial life meet The embroidery I she did was not remunerative enough to pay expenses and Mary had no fur ther business training. The young author who had adver I tised bad pondered long and deeply before putting forth bis need In tbe I newspapers, yet there was no alterna tive. He must have some one to look after his home and he was old-fash ioned enough to feel that a woman and not a man should do it. When he answered Mary Perkins' ring at the door bell Everly hoped It would be ai? applicant waiting there. The girl standing outside was slight. Her hair was neatly brushed back and her eyes looked curiously large through the thlck-lensed glasses she wore. Her skin was of a dull, almost Indian hue. "I have come In answer to your ad vertisement for a maid," she said, and Everly opened the door. His writing den was nearest to the entrance, and thither he led Mary Per kins. "All that Is essential for me is," he said to her, "that you can keep houso intelligently?and quietly." He looked at the girl In bo helpless a way that Mary was tempted to laugh. "If you could manage In half a day I would much prefer your being here only from ten o'clock until after my dinner in the middle of the day." "That will suit me," Mary replied. And from the very beginning Mary took complete possession of Everly's establishment' So excellent was Mary's cooking that Everly ventured to suggest one of the dreams of his author's mind. Always, since the beginning of his literary career he had wanted to have editors and publishers dining at his own table. "That is," thought Everly, "It is easy If Mary will stay and serve dinner." He went forthwith to the door and called her. When she stood beside him, Everly found his eyes opening a trifle wider than was usual with them. Mary seemed bo different, so altogether dif ferent from the girl she had been. It took him a moment or bo to realize that the thick-lensed glasses had been discarded; that the skin was curiously fair and the hair wonderfully riotous. "You called me, sir?" Mary sug gested. "I called the old Mary. What have you done to yourself?" "I grew tired of looking so-plain," she admitted., "When I applied for the position I was very much in need and I felt certain you would not engage me as a maid if?" she broke off with downcast eyes. n "I most certainly would not!" said Everly with conviction. He sighed a second later and Mary asserted her rights as a successful domestic. "My fingers have not lost their cun ning with the dffllnary art just because I am less homely than you thought me. I can serve as good a meal and keep your house as clean as I ever did." "I am perfectly well aware of all these facts," Everly admitted, "but that does not alter the fact that you are far too lovely, too altogether beau tiful to?" he broke off and smiled at the humor of the situation. "Too beautiful to what?" asked Mary. ".Well?the fact Is," admitted Ever ly, "that it has been the dream of my life to have a home to which I can In vite my friends. I wanted, next Sat urday night, to give a small dinner party to six men, that is?providing you would have been willing to ar range everything for me." "And why may I not? I can stay all day Saturday and I will plan and serve, a dinner that will make the editors ac 1. -x ..... M cept every a lux*/ j/Lm bouu uicu. "And have them all vying .with each other for your attention when they see you?no, thanks." Because Everly was completely mystified as to his own sudden emotions and quite un able to cope with the situation he turned to his typewriter. That move ment had always been Mary's cue to exit. It was scarcely five minutes before he heard her soft knock on his study door. When she came In he laughed aloud, partly from relief and partly because of his new emotion. Mary's skin was dark; her heavy glasses were in place, and her hair was severely drawn back. "How many covers shall I arrange for?for the dinner party, sir?" she questioned. Everly jumped to his feet, took the glasses from her eyes, dragged tho pinioned tendrils of soft gold hair from their captivity and laughed whimsical ly down into Mary's flushed face. "I have thought of the only possible way to keep you," he said breathless ly, for things had happened rather sud denly, "you understand?do you not, dear?" A moment later Mary looked up. But the dinner?1 want to serve hat" "I have told you the one condition under which you can preside," Everly Bald firmly; "either you are here as my wife or not at all. I would have to get a strange girl If you?" "If I let you?which I will not," Mary whispered softly. (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspa per Syndicate.)

"I have always hoped that he would marry Hallie Lane," sighed Tom's mother. "I do wish she hadn't gone away to Europe." "Well," Tom's father spoke up fierce ly, "he shan't marry that Goodrich girl as long as I can prevent it." "You know, dear, interfering with a love affair Lb dangerous," cautioned Tom's mother. "Any objections of ours are liable to increase his ardor. Wo miiot Via noroflll "How can be have any ardor for tfcat ancient charmer? I don't see. I'll bet she's nearly twice his age." "What can We do?" Tom's mother looked helpless as she asked the ques tion. < "We can pack him off to California to visit his Aunt Laura. She knows that he's out of college this winter on account of the trouble with his eyes and shell be glad of a visit from him." When the trip to California was broached to Tom he said he would rather have the money it would cost. "I want to get ahead a bit, dad," he explained. "You won't get ahead very fast ta king old maids to the grand opera every few nights." "If you mean Miss Goodrich?" "That was Just father's little Joke, Tom," hastily interrupted Tom's moth er. "You know, son, that we think two or three months on your Aunt Laura's ranch would be Just the thing for you. We want you to stay out doors all the time and give your eyes a complete rest Don't you think you'd enjoy the life out there?" "Why, I suppose I'd eajoy it, all right, but it will cost a lot of money, going out there." "Well, I think I can scrape enough logetner 10 get you out auu uau, said his father. "That economical streak of Tom's was a little too sudden to be really credible," Tom's father said to Tom's mother a little later. "It's Just an ex cuse not to leave that Goodrich girl, but It won't go with me. He's starting for the coast tomorrow night. That's decided." Tom had been gone just a month, when a letter from his Aunt Laura brought consternation to Tom's pa rents. After a little preamble, In which she declared her fondness for Tom and as serted that she greatly enjoyed having him with her, she begged them V), re call him at once. "He appears to be simply Infatuated with' a gay widow who Is staying pt the hotel near my ranch," she wrote. "I feel certain that she is a designing woman and that she has made up her mind to marry Tom. He won't listen to anything I say against her and when I mentioned that I was certain she was old enough to be his mother, he remarked bitterly that age seemed to be considered a crime in our family. I don't know what he meant But I do know that it would be'most unfortunate for him to become entangled with this dash ing Mrs. Gaynor. I advise you to send for him Immediately. You needn't have urged me to keep Tom from reading or studying. He hasn't opened a book since he's been here. He and Mrs. Gaynor ride horseback near ly all day long. The flowers in my garden aren't good enough for her, and he orders hothouse roses from the city twice a week and the quantity of candy that he buys for her is pro digious." "Well, what do yon know about that?" asked Tom's father, aghast It looks very much as if we had snatched Tom out of the frying pan and dropped him into the flre, doesn't it? Now we must bring him back to the frying pan, ehr "Probably this designing widow has quite banished the thought of Miss Goodrich," said Tom's mother. "So 41 ?: ? ? ?? ?*. In fKo mere may ue buwd wuuuiv >u >... atlon." "It's amazing what an unmitigated fool a boy can be," growled Tom's father, as he began to write a tele gram. "I don't see whV you sent me such a hurry call," Tom remarked to his father on the day of his arrival home. "But I'm glad you dld: send for me. My eyes are better now and I'm tired of loafing. Can't you take me Into your office, dad? I don't want to go back to college. I want to get to work and begin to earn money." "Why?" asked Tom's father, with laconic severity. "Well, I think I ought to tell you, though It's a secret Still, Lucie Good rich and Mrs. Gaynor both guessed it, and I think you and mother really ought to know. I want to go to work for Hallle Lane. The fact Is, we be came engaged before she went to Eu ro De." "You did; did you?" exploded Tom's father. "I hope you won't be angry. We kept It a secret because we thought you and all her people would say we were too young. But we are engaged, all right." "Well, I'm glad of it," said Tom's father, "but you've had a funny way of showing it!" Those Colored Things.
