BARNWELL SOUTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY MAY jo, %.
“SAREY”
BY CHARLES SLOAN REID.
[From The I’urititn, by ipecial permis
sion^ of |he publishers, Munsey <fc Co.,
N. .] ^
It was a dark nifcht that settled down
over the mountains of upper South
Carolina. The sky was Heavy -with
black clouds, and the low muttering*
of thunder which seemed to itsuo from
the ravines and gorges, and the zigzag
dashes of lightning which darted away
from the hilktopa^ ait foreUtid ihe com'
ing storm. —. -
Down over the rocks and among the
shrubs a young-mountaineer was mak
ing his way. Be seemed to know his
ground, and moved onward with un
hesitating step until he reached a
point overlooking a deep, wild'gorge,
where far down through the da-kneee,
shone the faint glow of alight The
young woodsman stopped a moment
then mattered:
** Bn’s lbar already. 'Fears to me
that Are makes too much light though.

preferred Tom Drake, and both bad
secretly resolved not to come between
them, each one Ignorant of the fact
that the other was making the tame
sacrifice. New hope had sprung up in
Alf's bosom since Sarey had told him
of Tom’s treachery. Now he bad dis
covered that Bob loved her. He re
solved to keep the secret of his own
love, for Bob’s sake; and again the
hope passed from his heart
Z When the ram ceased, the two men
arose ; and, while one of them dragged
thw-fire from under the furnace, the
other removed the cap from the still,
and then placed a corncob in the bung-
bole of the keg that held the product
—“ Bob, 1 guess we’d better move the
still to a safer place this very night”
suggested A if.
“ Nary a move, Aif ! This still has
been here nigh on to seven years, and
here she’s a gwiae to stay.”
“ Ail right if you say so ; I'm not the
man to step off and leave you.”
“ Aif, you caa tote the keg down to
the burnt poplar aa you go home, aad
I’ll stay her* till she cools off, and
the disgraceful doin’s o’ Tom ; and —
and, Aif, 1 axed bur if tbar warn’t airy
’nuther feller she liked jeat as well aa
she did Tom: and she 'lowed she
alters liked you j*8t as well, but you
never seemed to like her. Now I've
told you, Aif, and I want to know if
you love her.”
“I allers have, Bob; but I stood
back for Tom ; and arter what you said
t’ other night, I was a gwine to stand
back for you."
Again that sensation as of the heart
rULpg into the throat came to Bob,
ana the two men rode on in silence.
The sun was swiftly dropping to
wards the crests of the western hills
when Bob and Aif stopped in front of
old Jerry Mauldin's long,lftJHWHcabin.
Sarey was sitting In the open hallway,
shelling beans; but she arose and camp
out to the road when the two men had
dismounted.
" Tom’s been seed a foolin’ around
Long Creek to-day,” said Sarey, “and
l meant to tend you uo« word afore
now. but pap's been ailin' all day, and
1 oonldn’t leave him." —
” We aia't much afeared of him,'*

that the flocks were for food. Only a

“ I’ll walk home with you,” he said.
Bob threw some water un the dying
embers of the tird, then led toe way
through the dark, wet woods, followed
closely by Sarey, neither of them
speaking a word until they came to the
highway, about a mile distant. They
did not have far to go after they had
reached the road.
When Bob bade Sarey good night,
he gulped down another choking sen
sation which arose in his throat, 1 and
turned about to retrace his way tome
distance along the road before turning
off toward his own home.

and when they reached the sandy level
near the brook they found two lifeless

Bob Rankin and Tom' Drake had

T^c-Tbe origin of South Carolina's so
briquet “ the Palmetto State.” is thus
explained “ On June 28, 1778, a force
of less than 100 Carotimans, under
command of Moultrie, protected by the
rude fortification on Sullivan's island
in Charleston harbor, made of the
trunks of'the r palmetto repulsed the
attack of a British fleet, under com
mand of Sir Peter Parker and when
the Slate Of South Carolina wan or
ganised, the State **‘al, which was
first used ia May, 1777, was made to

have been made to them whereby cer

propOaition* have been under con
sideration for some time, and’ were not
acted on, but in view of the fact that a
change of base may be necessary they
become quite interesting.
For instance, it is said that Mr.
Caldwell Robertson has offered the
dispensary authorities tbe use of the
warehouse on Gervais street, below tie
Union depot, which is now partially
occupied as a batting factory. It is
understood that the proposition made
was that tbe State could have the
building at the same price it now pays

Another idea is to rent the ol

But all of the-above is spoculait’ve.

me and tike in the sights of Spartan

ed fellows in the State. He is con

of beauty, but wbat Bob lacks in looks

son-in law -of C*pt. White, of the
