I HOW SHE j
SURRENDERED I
By Wilson Evans, I
Gordon's face clouded over. "But
this Is such a splendid chance," he
pleaded. "It's the opportunity of a
life time. It would be criminal to let
It pass."
"You don't have to," said Amy
loftily. "If you care more about the
old position than you do about your
Intended wife, you are at liberty to
go out to-morrow if you want to. I
won't go."
"But you can come home and see
your people every year," he pleaded.
"You can come home for three
months every year. That's fair
enough."
"If you loved mo," she scorned,
"you wouldn't ask me to leave
mother."
"If you loved me," he retorted,
"you'd be willing to come with mo,
even though I should go to Alaska."
"I renlly think you'd ask me to,"
he declared . "I'm glad I have discovered
your selfishness before it is
too late."
"Then you won't come with me?"
he asked. She shook her head.
"Look here, Amy," he pleaded
gently. "This 1r the chance that
comes to a young fellow only once.
Mr. Gordon writes that he wants to
surround himself with young men
whom hr knows. If I go now, by the
time I am thirty-five I shall have a
position that would not come to me
before I am gray-haired. I know
how you feel about leaving tho folks
and going clear across the continent,
but if you loved me you would be
willing to go."
"Tnen 1 don't love you," she said,
decidedly, "for I am not going." She
held out to him the circlet of which
she had been so proud, and he placed
It in his pocketbook and turned
away.
Ben had been conscious of this
tendency to rule, and ho knew that
If he was henpecked before marriage
there would bo no relief after. He
was sore at heart as he went toward
his boarding place, but he knew that
thlngB would come all right in time.
Ho hail been offered an opportunity
to take a place in tho office of an
old friend of his father's. If things
went rignt he could forge ahead
with far greater rapidity than in the
Eastern bank, where five years of
faithful work had merely advanced
bim from collection clerk to a place
as under bookkekper.
Twenty years later he might be
made paying teller, but he could not
hope for greater advancement. In
the West he would be able to get
ahead as rapidly us he could familiarize
himself with the vust mining
Interests.
He went quietly ahead with his
preparations, and though his face
fell each morning and evening as he
looked In the mail rack in the hall
for some word from Amy, he did not
seek her out.
The last few days seemed to pass
with incredible rupidity. More than
once he was tempted to go over to
tlf?r ImilHO iinrl '? loo*
. >kui\v? u iuol a^pcaii
even though his renson told him that
to do so would be to spoil It ull. At
any sign of surrender she would seek
to press her advantage, and that he
knew would only lead to worse trouble.
Even at the last moment he wavered,
but he climbed into the 'bus
that had come to carry him to the
train, and though he was possessed
by an almost irresistible impulse to
direct the driver to go over to the
Mellens' he kept straight on toward
the station.
"Train's twenty minutes late," announced
the baggage master as he
checked his trunk. "You've got about
half an hour to wait."
He stepped, out of the baggage
room, intending to find a seat on the
platform, and came face to face with
Amy.
"I saw you go in," she said. "I
didn't think that you would go away
without seeing me."
"I did not want to," ho answered,
"but I thought it would be better.
If 1 had it would only have opened
the argument, and I did not want to
muke matters any worse than they
are."
"Why didn't you come and tell me
you were sorry?" she demanded.
"Did I have to?" he asked, "Couldn't
you realize what it meant to me
to go away and leave you here?"
"YOU'rO not CnlnC tn " a Via ow
0 o ?"' ?" I
nounced calmly. "That is, you don't |
have to."
"But I must go on this train," he
persisted, puzzled.
"May I go too?" she asked, softly.
"I'm sorry I was so mean the other
night. You were right, and If you'll
atlll have me I'll go with you now."
"But you can't," he cried. "There
Is no ehance to get married before
the train comes."
"Yes, there Is," she declared,
"Mother and Father and Dr. Cartwright
are In the station, and Dr.
Cartwrlght will marry us in ten
minutes."
The platform was beginning to fill
up, but Gordon caught her in his
arms and kissed her, to the scandalleation
of two maiden ladles sitting
on a trunk."
"Vou are a darling!" he cried.
Hand in band they entered the
station, where In a quiet corner the
old ralnislter read the brief service,
and hand in hand they started for
the train that was to take them westward
to success.
Poetry Worth Reading.
HMMB.
I *1111 can him, lean and languid
eyed;
Beneath his fes hla clear cut features
dun
With the swart touch of the Egyptian
sun;
trifle stooped, yet with a hint of
pride.
I still can hear his soft voice like the
tide
Of Nile At nightfall when the stare
have won
Their immemorial places, and begun
Their march across the desert, waste
and wide.
I still can feel about him the strange
spell
That dominates his land, a kindred
ship
With all inscrutable and ancient
things,
And fancy, if he would, that he might
tell
The secrets of tho Sphinx's sealed
lip
And of the pyramid and mummied
kings.
Clinton Scollard.
Tho Cowboy.
The bawl of a steer to the cowboy's
ear
Is music of Bweetest strain,
And the yelping notes of the gray
coyotes
To hltn are a glad refrain;
Tho rapid boat of his bronco's feet
On the sod as ho speeds along
Keep livening time to the ringing
rhyme
Of his rollicking cowboy song.
| Hit eyes are bright and his heart in
light
As the smoke of Ills cigarette,
| There's never a care for his soul to
bear,
No troubles to make him fret;
For a kingly crown in the noisy town

No life so free as the life we see
'Way out on the cattle range.
Hi-lo! hi-la! for the range away
On the deck of a bronc' of steel,
With a careless llirt of the rawhide
quirt
And a dig of the rowel led heel,
And the winds may howl and tho
thunders growl,
Or the breezes may softly moan,
A rider's life is a royal life,
The saddle a kingly throne.
Hi-lo! hi-la! for tho work is piny
When love's In the cowboy's eyes,
When his heart is light as tho clouds
of white
That swim in tho summer skies,
And his jolly song speeds the bourn
along
As he thinks of the little gal
With the golden hair who Is waiting
there
At the bars of the home corral.
James Barton Adams.
Song of the l'lougli.
I'll sing you a song of tho plough;
deep with my tempered shart
I furrow the earth, the rich brown
earth, paving the way for
spoil,
With Joy I bend to my task, guided
with sturdy care?
From dawn till dusk I follow tho
way through loam and fragrant
soil.
And i sing as 1 go my way,
From dawn till the sunset's
gold,
And I sleep when the world la
gray?
Deep in the morn's enfold.
I come with the lark and thrush, and
my good steel shimmers
bright,
Steady I turn my furrows deep
that fields mav crow nnd
wave;
The bread of the world la mine, reared
by my strength and might,
And I scatter It wide, from land
to land, that all may aay I
gave,
And I sing as I go my way,
From dawn till the sunset's
gold,
And 1 sleep when the world is
gray?
Deep in the morn's enfold.
My share came from tho earth, ar 1
so to tho earth I cleave.
And 1 shall cling to its breast
fore'er, to serve my master,
man;
And never shall 1 forsake, and never
my master leave
Till the world and Time are old
and gray in this, God's earthly
plan.
But I sing as I go my way.
From dawn till the sunset's
gold,
And I sleep when the world is
gray?
Deep in tho morn's enfold.

MISTAKES IN MEMORIALS.
The Black Prince le Called the
"Prince of Whales."
Some remarkable mistakes in memorials
have totally escaped notice 1
until it was too late to rectify them.
The spurs on the boots of Cromwell's
statue at Westminster Abbey, lx>ndon,
are the most interesting feature
of the monument, although they generally
get no attention at all from
sightseers. They aro worn upside
down. In a painted window on the
staircase which leads from the floor
of Westminster palace to the com- '
mlttee rooms an inscription on a
sword wielded by the "Black Prince"
has the words "Prince of Whales."
Again, in the fresco depicting the embarkation
of the Pilgrim Fathers in

w J

250 years after the days of the May- t

$1,000 For a Newspaper. I
During the siege of Kimberley the t
editor of the only daily paper there
was often hard put to llnd enough
news. One day in a club room he
found Cecil Rhodes reading a fairly ?
new paper from Cape Town. He borrowed
it and rushed to his own oftlce,
where it soon appeared as a special
edition, selling like hot calces. That J
sa.ue evening he met Mr. Rhodes, who j
inquired: "Where's my Cape Town t
paper?" Oh, I cut it up for the print- \
ers," was the reply. "Please don't do \
that again," said Rhodes mildly. *
"That paper came through by native j
runners and cost me $1,000." ^

Thunder Superstitions. n
Thunder, just because it is a noise
for vrhich there is no visible caiim
baa always excited the Imagination of
the unscientific. One old writer ex- c
plains the belief of his day that "ft
Btorm is said to follow presently when
a company of hogges runne crying
home," on tho ground that "a hogge 11
Is most dull and of a melancholy na- ?
ture and so by reason doth foresee the
rain that cometh." Leonard Dlgges, n
In his 'Prognostication Everlasting" n
(1556) mentions that "thunder In the P
morning signifies wind, about noon ^
rain and in the evening a great tem- a
pest."

KILLED ABOl'T BOARD BILL
And Old Farmer Shot By His Sonin-Law.
B. F. Fortner, an aged farmer residing
two miles from Pelzer, was
shot and instantly killed Friday at
noon by Neil Hanks, Fortner's sonin-law.
The shooting occurred in
the front yard of the murdered man.
Four shoots took efTect and death
resulted instantly.
The shooting resulted from the refusal
of Banks to pay a board bill.
He had been boarding with Fortner
up to a short time ago. When Banks
returned Friday to get his trunk
Fortner refused to deliver it to him
until a board bill of $18 was settled.
Without further provocation, it is
said, Banks drew his pistol and began
firing.
Banks departed immediately after
the shooting and up to a late hour
Saturday night he was still at large.
The sheriff of Anderson County was
notified of the murder and he immediately
sent deputies in search of the
murderer. The murdered man had
been a resident of Pelzer for several
years and was highly esteemed.

Rest is the greet restorer. We tire
our muscles by exercise and then rest
to restore them; yet a groat many of
us do not stop to think how little
rest we give to our stomachs. As a
usual thing no part of our bodies is
so generally overworked as our digestive
organs. A tired and overworked
stomach will give signs of
distress to which we pay no heed until
at last dyspepsia takes hold. Indigestion
Is just a warning, and If we
heed the warning we can easily
avoid further consequences. Kodol
Is a most through stohach relief. It
digests what you eat and gives the
stoiuach the needed rest and greatly
usslsts in restoring It to its normal
activity and usefullness. Kodol is
sold on a guarantee relief plan. It Is
sold here by Conway Drug Co.
