A TOURING
EPISODE
liy I'AULINE l>. EDWARDS
My dear liolle, I have hud un adven
ture. uiid l uiuyt tell you ?tII ubout it
Ah h< < u us the spring opened 1 became
wilil to go on tin unto tour with our
now machine, tlial is admirably tit tod
tor I.?ng trips, liit vlng u ruck in the
roui lar?o cnough^U) curry u Saratoga
trunk Of course 1 couldn't tour alone
6r it li u Kirl friend. Muniuia would
not hoar of tlmt, and tl?cre >v?\s noth
ing lot it but slio must go with me her
self.
We started when tlie leaves on the
trees were well grown, with excellent
road maps, and by supplementing the
information they gave us ut every fork
iu the road we got on very well. Oue
evening we wore ueaiing a plueo called
Huntiugdule, which seetued to l?e rath
er a collection of summer cottages tliun
any thing else, and we did not have
the name of any hotel at which to stftp.
Passing un autolst who had alighted
to examine his engine, 1 asked him if
he could direct ua to a public houyu
where we could spend the night. He
looked up at mo, and our eyes met.
Dhl you ever look into the eyes of a
man for the (list time and recognize
through them a soul that was in liar
mony with yours? This 1 did when 1
met I ho gaze or this man. ISot only
that; l knew he saw In me what 1 had
found In him.
"I urn sorry to say," lie replied to my
question, "that there is no hotel in
Ifumlngdale. You'll not tlnd one that
you would care to stop at till you reach
ArborvHle. twelve tulles beyond."
i'looked disappointed. Mamma was
getting tired.' and before we could
luuke the twelve miles It would be
dark, and we made it a rule to travel
only by duyllght.
"1 can direct you," continued the
young man, "to a private family hotel,
but they are not taking boarders there
this year except myself. However, if
you care to try 1 think you can get iu
for one night."
We said we would certainly care to
try, and the young man, pulling down
the hood of his uuto and cranking It,
got into his machine and led tho way
to an attractive looking house on an
eminence. When wo reached it ho
asked us to remain in our cur till he
stated our case for us. Wo thanked
him, and lie went Inside. In a few
minutes he returned and said that he
had Uxed the matter for us satisfac
torily. The landlady was eon lined to
her room, but he was very much at
home there himself and would see that
we were made comfortable. lie hand
ed us out of our car, and after our
trunk had been removed and our ma
chine started for the garage we went
up thTo the house.
1 wondered that so luxurious au:
abode should be used for boarders. Ho
tels and boarding houses be they ever
so well furnished are bound to show
some wearr v.
Mamma thought she was too tired
to dress for dinner, but 1 told her in
such a place it would not be safe to
dine In traveling costume, so we both
put og evening dress. On entering the
dining room we saw that, places had
been set for three, and the only person
iu the room besides ourselves was the
yotmg mun who had been our con
ductor. Seeing that he was in evening
dress I was very thankful that mam
ma and 1 had decided to change our
costumes.
"Our landlady," he snld, "has com\
missioned me to take her place at ta
ble and do the honors in her. stead. I
presume I shall have to Introduce my
self, having no one to Introduce me. 1
am Edgar Sterling, ut your service."
Mamma Introduced herself and then
introduced me, after which a waiter
who seemed rather a butler than a
waiter served us, and we had a deli
cious dinner. Wine whs opened with
out our |iaviug ordered it. Both maui
ma and I declined it when the waiter
was about to pour it into our glasses,
whereupon Mr. Sterling said:
"The terms in this house .include
wine, so you are not under any obliga
tion to me."
We permitted the waiter to fill our
glasses, but since the wine served was
champagne we concluded that the bill
for our one night's stay would be some
thing frightful. But I had lallen un
der a spell Induced by the devotion of
Mr. Sterling, expressed in his eyes, a
pleasing smile he had and his coustant
attention to my every wish.
After dinner mamma remained be
low but half an hour, when she went
upstairs to bed. I passed the most
delightful evening of my life, and
mamma was obliged to call me several
times before I could tear myself away
from my entertainer.
The next morning wo breakfasted
alone, the waiter having Informed us
that Mr. Sterling had gone out early
In his car. We asked for our bill, but
were told that the landlady was not
in a condition to make it uif and we
would leave our address a statement
would be sent us when she recovered.
Upon our return home we expected
to And our hotel bill. We were stlM
expecting to find it whetf one evening
Mr. Sterling called and put a new
face on the matter. lie confessed
that he had taken us to his own resi
dence, that the landlady was a myth
and that tho waiter was his butler. I
He apologized- for his deception by,
saying that it had occurred to him to
take this course rather than attempt
to force before us the hospitality of a
sfnnger.
Now, wasn't that Just too delightful
an episode to keep?
From Mr. Sterling's attention to me
1 expect soon to tell jov of another
episode.

SOUTH CAROLINA IS ALLOTTED
{8,900,000 OF LIBERTY BONDS
EVERY FARMER, MERCHANT, CLERK, BUSINESS
MAN, APPEALED TO BY STATE COMMITTEE
TO BUY A BOND ON JUNE 5.
Columbia, S. C., (Special.)?"Do
your bit. Buy a bond for liberty and
the ultimate peace of the world!" Is
tho mossage which 1b being Bent broad
cast over the stato by the Liberty
Loan Committee for Houth Carolina, of
which Edwin W. Robertson, is chair
man.
Already there has been a wide re
sponse from many directions. Thou
sands of people have mado applica
tion through state ana national banks
for bonds In denominations ranging
from $60 to $1,000. But since tbe al
lotment for South Carolina is $8,500,
000, there are a great many more to
be disposed of before the state will
have done Its duty.
Central committees to promote the
sale of the bonds have been appoint
ed in each county of the state. Men
everywhere are giving their time and
efforts toward helping the govern
ment float this loan; knowing well
that the fate ^f the country, and per
haps of the war, Is resting upon this
bond issue. The banks have also put
their shoulders to the wheel. Practi
cally every bank is in a position to
accept applications for bonds, and
every man who wishes to, subscribe
has only to apply to his banker.
The appeal which the Liberty Loan
Is making to the farmers, merchants
and business men Ih not only patri
otic; though the committee feels that
every man should want to support-his
government to the extent of buying V
bond. It is also a business proposll
tion; and a Liberty bond is right nov?
ono of the best and surest Investments
that a man can make.
The government has got to buy corn
and cotton in quArttities never before
heard of. These supplies have got to
come from the Holds and farms of
South Carolina along with the rest of
the country. Therefore, the money
that a farmer puts in the loan, comes
back to him as actual cash in immense
purchases of the things which ho
raises. In this way he not only gets
a 3 1-2 per cent return on his bonds,
but he also gets the actual money
back for the products of his farm.
Just as the banks make their money
by financing the farmer, just so tho
farmer is now in a position to make
money by financing the government.
No matter how this situation Is
faced, whether from sentiment or from
bard common sense, the move is a
good OS<J.
One of the most prominent financial
men In South Carolina when asked
as to IiIh opinion of the bonds as a
business proportion refused to dis
cuss it from that tnui^KAt all.
"What does It matter whet.hel* thla
is a money making proposition or not.
Of course it is; but the thlug that
any map or woman wants to think
about in connection with the loan is:
For what use is the money to be ap
plied. If a man Is Ailed with a real
EJatlop of what the war means, it will
not take him long to decide.
"Just one little glimpse of the last
three years Is sufficient. The viola
tion of Belgium, the sinking of the
Lusltania, the abUBei and slaughter of
millions of women and children la
Belgium, France and Poland, and the
other savageries of the Oermans
should make a man go out of his way
to subscribe for as many bonds as he
could possibly stand.
"If It were a matter of war on our
own soil, with our own women and
children the subject of these cruelties,.
we would not hesitate a moment. And
from all I hear from Washington, it
will very probably be our women and
children unless the people of America
rally to this loan with every available
dollar."
The 5th day of June has been set
apart by the Liberty Loan Committee
for South Carolina on which to re
ceive subscriptions all over the state.
On kthat day, it has been decreed by
tft* $6V4hnment that alt men between
the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, shall
register; and It Is desired that on the
Hame day, all other people, and all of
those that register as well, shall as
faithfully go to the banks and All out
an application blank for every cent of
bondH that they can possibly stand.
"South Carolina has never been
backward in the cause of Liberty ar,
far back as my history goes." said
J.- Pope Matthews, of the state com
mittee yesterday; "and I don't be
lieve for a moment that the people of
the commonwealth will allow her to
take a back seat now. We have been
told by the Federal Reserve officials
that we are expected to subscribe to
qight and a half millions of the bonds.
This is certainly no impossible task:
or at least will not be if the small
farmers of the country districts will
