On such visits he usually ; stayed at the Johnston House, a great, old fashioned brick building that had survived the civil war and remained untouched by the shot and shell that hurtled over it during that dismal p - riod when most of the population had “refugeed farther south.” It had four stories and was too big for the town, which could boast of only 2,000 inhab itants, one-third of whom were black, llov.ever, the smallness of the town was in the hotel’s favor, for in a place where no one would have patronized a second class hotel opposition would have died a natural death. The genial proprietor and his family were of the best blood, and the Johnston House was a sort of social clubhouse where the church people held their affairs and the less serious element gave dances. To be admitted to the hotel without having to pay for one’s dinner was the hallmark of social approval. It was near the ancient looking brick car shed, under which the trains of two main lines ran, and a long freight warehouse of the same date and archi tecture. Around the hotel were clus tered the chief financial enterprises of the town—its stores, postoftice, banks and a hall for theatrical purposes. Har ley was the seat of its county, and an other relic of the days before the war was its courthouse. The principal side walks were paved with brick, which in places were dump and green and some- t times raised above their common level by the undergrowing roots of the syc amore trees that edged the streets. In the office of the hotel, just after registering his name, Alan met his friend Rayburn Miller, for whose busi ness ability, it may be remembered, Abner Daniel had such high regard. He was a fine looking man of thirty- three, tall and of athletic build. He had dark eyes and hair and a ruddy, outdoor complexion. "I lello!” he said cordially. “I thought you might get in today, so 1 came round .o see. Sorry you’ve taken a room. I wanted you to sleep with me tonight. Sister’s gone, and no one is there but the cook. Hello, 1 must be careful. I’m drumming for business fight under Sanford’s nose.” ‘■i ll make you stay with me to make up for it,” said Alan as the clerk be- ; hind the counter laughed good uatured- ly over the allusion to himself. ‘Tdamed if I don’t think about it,” said Miller. “Come round to tbi3 of fice. I want to talk to you. I reckon you’ve got every plow going such weather as this.” "’i ook my horse out of the field to drive over,” said Alan as they went out and turned down to a side street where there was a row of law offices, all two roomed buildings, single sto ried. built of brick and bearing bat tered tin signs. One of these buildings was Miller’s, which, like all its fellows, had its door wide open, thus inviting all the lawyers in the “row” and all students of law to enter and borrow books or use the ever open desk. Key burn Miller was a man among ten thousand in his class. Just after being graduated at the state university he was admitted to the bar and took up the practice of law. He could un- doubtedl.v have made hm way at this i aloT’*, Tiad not other "and more absorb ing alents developed within him. Hav ing had a few thousand dollars left him at his father’s death, he began to utilize this capital in “note shaving” and other methods of turning over money for a handsome profit furnished by the unsettled condit'ons, the time , and locality. He soon became an adept ! in many lines of speculation, and as he was remarkably shrewd and cautious it is not to be wondered at that he soon accumulated quite a fortune. “Take a seat,” he said to Alan as they went into the office, and he threw himself into the revolving chair at his littered desk. “I want to talk to you. I suppose you are in for some fun. The boys are getting up a dance at the hotel, and they want your dollar to help pay the band. It’s a good one tliis time. They’ve ordered it from Chattanooga. It will be down on the Got a match?” Alan had not, and Miller turned his head to the open door. An old negro happened to be passing, with an ax on his shoulder. “Heigh, there, Uncle Ned!” Miller ealhd out I lie negro had passed, but he heard his name called, and he came back and looked in at the door. “Want me, Marse Rayburn?” “Yes, you old scamp. Get me a match or I’ll shoot the top of your head off.” “All right, sub; all right, Marse Ray burn!” “You ought to know him,” said Mil ler, with a smile us the negro hurried into the adjoining office. “His wife cooks for Colonel Barclay. He might tell you if Miss Dolly’s going tonight, but I know she is. Frank Hillhouse cheeked her name off the list, ami I heard him say she’d accepted. By the way, that fellow will do to watch. I think he and the colonel are pretty thick.” “Will you never let up on that?” Alan asked, with a final). “I don't know that I shall,” laughed | Rayburn. "It seems so funny to see J you in love. or. rather, to see you think I you are.” "I have never said I was,” said Alan sharply. “But you show it so blamed plain,” j said Miller. "Here ’tis, Marse Rayburn. Marse Tiabue said you could have a whole box of you'd put up wid sulphur ones.” Miller took the matches from the out stretched hand and tossed a cigar to Alan. “Say, Uncle Ned,” he asked, “do you know that gentleman?” indi cating Alan with a nod of his head. A quizzical look dawned in the old negro's eyes, and then lie gave a re sounding guffaw and shook all over. “I reckon I know his boss, Marse Rayburn,” he tittered. "That’s -a good one on you, Alan,” laughed Miller. “He knows your ‘boss.’ I’ll have to spring that on you when I see you two together.” As the negro left the office Mr. Tra- bue leaned in the doorway, holding his battered silk hat in his hand and mop ping ins perspiring face. He nodded to Alan and said to Mil- l ler. “Do you want to write?” “Not any more for you, thanks,” said Miller. “I have the backache now from those depositions I made out for you yesterday.” “Oh, I don’t mean that,” the old lawyer assured him, “but I had to borrow yore ink just now, an’, seein’ you at yore desk, l thought you might need It.” 1 “Oh, if I do,” jested Miller, “I can buy another bottle at the bookstore. They pay me a commission on the ink l I furnish the row. They let me have it cheap by the case. What stumps me is that you looked in to see if I needed it. You are breaking the rule, Mr ; Trabue. They genera My make me hunt for riiy oliice furniture when 1 need it. They’ve borrowed every'.''ing 1 have except my iron safe. Their Ignorunef of the combination, its weight and their confirmed laziness are all that saved it." When the oU lawyer had gone, the two fronds *.al e 1 sms hod in silence - for several minun was study ing Miller's fact ' omething told hint that the nows of s 'other's disaster : had reached him and that Miller was going to speak of it. lie was not mis taken. for the lawyer soon broached the subject. ‘Tve been intending to ride out to see you almost every day this week,” he said, “but business has always pre vented my leaving town.” “Then you have heard”— “Yes, Alan, I’m sorry, but It’s all over the country. A man’s bad luck spreads as fast as good war news. I | beard it the next day after your fa ther returned from Atlanta, and saw the whole thing in a flash. The truth is, Perkins had the cheek to try his scheme on me. I’m the llrst target of every scoundrel who has something to sell, and I’ve learned many of their tricks. I didn’t listen to all he had to say, 4jpfit got rid of him as soon as 1 could. You must not blame the old man. As I see It now, it was a most plausible scheme, and the shame of it is that no one can bo handled for it. Your father will have to grin and bear it. He really didn’t pay a fabulous price for the land, and if he were in a condition to bold on to it for, say, twenty-five years he might not lose money. But who can do that sort of thing? 1 have acres and acres of mountain land offered me at a much lower figure, but what little money I’ve made has been made by turning j my capital rapidly. Have you seen Dolly since it happened?” “No; not for two weeks,” replied Alan. "I went to church with her Sunday before last and have not seen her since. I was wondering if she had heard about it.” j “Ob yes; she’s heard it from the colo nel. It may surprise you, but the thing has rubbed him the wrong way.” “WTy, I don’t understand,” exclaimed Alan. “Has he”— "The old man has had about 2,000 acres of land over near your father’s purchases, and it seems that he was closely watching all your father’s deals and. In spite of Ids judgment to the contrary, Mr. Bishop’s confidence In that sort of real estate has made him put a higher valuation on his holdings over there. So you see, now that your father's mistake is common talk, he is forced to realize a big slump, and he wants to blame some one for It 1 don’t know but that your father or some one else made him an offer for his land, which lie refused. So you see It is only natural for him to be dis gruntled.” “I see," said Alan. “I reckon you heard that from Miss Dolly?” Miller smoked slowly. “Yes”—after a pause—“I dropped in there night before last, and she told me about It. She’s not one of your surface creatures. She talks sensibly on all sorts of subjects. Of course she’s not going to show her heart to me, but she couldn’t hide the fact that your trouble was worrying her a good | deal. 1 think she’d like to see you at the ball tonight. Frank Hillhouse will give you a dance or two. He’s going to be hard to beat. He’s the most at tentive fellow I ever riHi across. He’s got a new buggv—n regular hug-rae- tight-and a high stepping Kentucky mare for the summer campaign. He’ll have some money at ids father’s death, and all the old women say he’s the besi eateh in town because he doesn’t drink, lias a Sunday school class and will have money. We are all going to wear evening suits tonight. There are some girls from Rome visiting Hattie Alexander, and we don’t want them to smell hay in our hair. You know how the boys are. Unless all of us wear spiketails no one will; so we took a vote on it. and we’ll be on a big dike. There’ll be a devilish lot of misfits. Those who haven’t suits are borrowing In all directions. Frank Buford will rig out in Colonel Day’s antebellum toggery. Did you bring yours?” “It happens to be at Parker’s shop, being pressed,” said Alan. “I’ve bad three In the last six years,” laughed Miller. “\ r ou know how much larger Todd Selman is than I am. He burst one of mine from collar to waist last summer at the Springs. I can’t refuse ’em. God bless ’em! Jeff Hig gins married in my best Prince Al bert last week and spilled boiled cus tard on it, but he’s got a good wife and a fair job on a railroad in Ten nessee now. I’d have given him the coat, but he’d never have accepted it and been mad the rest of his life at my offer. Parker said somebody bad tried to scrape the custard off with a sharp knife and that he had a lot of trouble cleaning it. I wore the coat yesterday and felt like I was going to be married. Todd must have left some of his shivers in it. 1 reckon that’s as near as I’ll ever come to the hitching post.” Just then a tall, thin man entered. He wore a rather threadbare frock coat, unevenly bound with braid, and had a sallow, sunken and rather long , face. It was Samuel Craig, one of the two private bankers of the town. He was about sixty years of age and bad a pronounced stoop. “Hello!” be said pleasantly. “You young bloods are a-goin’ to play smash with the gals’ hearts tonight. I reckon. I say. go it while you are young. Ray burn. I want to get one of them iron- areund to'beat the band. He thought I was going to close him up.” “That was a close shave,” admitted Craig. “Never mind about the over- che< king, my boy. Keep it up, if it will help you. You are doing altogeth er too much business with the other bank to suit me anyway.” SPIRITS TO LIVE IN PLANETS “fit' This storv will be continued in next Friday’s issue. ASCENT OF MOUNT RAINIER Dr. liettft ftii<1 II. M. Sarvunt Prove Mountain Still Surmountable. Dr. \V. R. Betts of New Orleans and H. M. Sarvant of Tacoma, Wash., have made a thrilling ascent of Mount Rai nier, says the New Y'ork Times. Dr. Betts read in newspapers that the mountain had not been ascended for four years on account of great breaks In tiie ice walls about Gibraltar rock. Old guides had gone to Gibraltar rock for several seasons past only to turn back without reaching the top. Dr. Betts was determined to disprove the theory that the mountain is in- purmountable. Reaching Tacoma a few days ago, he started at once for Para dise valley, on the southern slope. De scending from Pinacle peak of the Tatoosh range, both men took a peril ous slide of half a mile down steep snow fields. After previously carrying food to Camp Muir the climbers start ed on a Sunday evening to make the ascent. They camped at Muir until daybreak, but the weather was bitter ly cold, making sleep impossible. At 3 a. m. they discarded all unnecessary clothing, taking only alpine stocks and cameras, and started. Reaching the glaciers about Gibral tar, they were compelled to use ropes and to cut 500 steps In the ice with a hatchet in making a zigzag journey up ico slopes and around crevasses. They found that avalanches had carried away a great rooky ledge above Gib raltar on which previous climbers had depended in ascending one of the fteepest places. The summit was reach ed at 11 a. m. They visited three peaks. Investigation showed that there had been no recent volcanic activity, as was supposed, thbugh steam and sul phur fumes still rise in the craters. They readied Paradise valley at 8 o’clock the' next night, twenty-five hours after commencing the ascent. New Theory of Evolution by Pro- feNHor Moore of tolambifi. Mo. Dr. W. T. Moore, dean emeritus of the Missouri Bible college at Colum bia. Mo., recently completed the man uscript of a book which will cause a sensation among theologians and scien tists, says the St. Louis Republic. Dr. Moore is a theistic evolutionist, though ids new definition of evolution will be quite satisfactory even to eon- ! servatives. lie traces man in bis ori- | gin, history and destiny, and in the concluding chapter of the book, enti tled “Death and the Other Side.” he attempts to show the meaning of the numerous worlds which now roll In space without inhabitants. Dr. Moore’s theory is, In brief, that man will go on progressing through the cycles of eternity and that when he as sumes his spiritual body at the resur rection he then will be prepared to in- ’ habit some of the planets or stars which are now uninhabited. Ho concludes that the infinitude of space and the almost infinitude of worlds become Intelligible from his point of view. He believes that the spiritual man will be the inhabitant of all these worlds and that, as emigra tion from this earth is the future evo lutionary process by which these worlds are to be inhabited, the Inhab itants of the whole universe will be of the same family and constitute a great spiritual brotherhood for all the ages of the future. Dr. Moore thinks that the numerous worlds how uninhabited are in a stat* of preparation for glorified man, as the present earth was a long time in prep aration for original man. Dr. Moore is a theologian and Journalist of reputa tion both in America and Europe. He was for many years a resident of Lon don and is still editor of a lending re ligious magazine published there. His wife is president of Christian Female college at Columbia. Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
