to ms surprise sne averted nor ruee
and said nothing, though he remarked
that she had paled a little and coin
pressed her lips. He waited a moment,
then said anxiously:
‘'Haven't you something to say.
Adele? Perhaps I have misread you
all along and really have no right to
hope. Oh, that would he hard to hear!”
“It is not that,” she said, her breast
heaving suddenly. "It is not that.”
“Hot that?” he repeated, his wonder
ing eyes fixed on hers.
Then she turned to him.
“Ainu has told me of some of yonr
talks to him about love, and”—
“Oh. he has!” Miller laughed out un-
eataly. "But surely you wouldn't hold
aaf thing against me that I said before
1 met you in Atlanta and fell heels
over head in love with you. Besides. I
wae simply stretching my imagination
to save him from making a serious mis
take. But I know what it is to care for
a girl now, and I have wanted to tell
him so, but simply could not face him
with my confession—when—when his
own sister was in question.”
“1 have tried to believe.” Adele hesi
tatod. “that you had changed in your
ideas of love since—since we learned
to know each other, and 1 confess 1
succeeded to some extent, but there
was one thing that simply sticks and
refuses to be eradicated. It sticks more
right now than ever. I mean this morn-
log, since”—
“Now you do surprise me,” declared
Miller. “Please explain. Don't you see
I’m simply dying with impatience?”
“You pressed the point in one of
those talks with brother,” said Adele
quite firmly, "that it was impossible
for two people of unequal fortune to be
happy together, and”—
“Now, you wouldn't surely hurl that
rubbish at me," broke in Miller. “1
never would have dreamed of saying
each a thing if 1 had not thought Alan
was about to butt his head against a
stone wall in the hostility of Colonel
Barclay. If he had been fairly well off
and sin* had been without money, I’d
have said sail in and take her, but 1
knew what u mercenary old man Bar
clay is, and I thought I could save the
boy from a good many heartaches.”
“That—even as you now put it—
would be hard for a girl in my position
to forget," Adele told him, "for if
this enterprise fails today I shall—just
think of it!—1 shall not only be penni
less, but my father will owe you a large
amount of money that he never will be
able to pay. Oh, I could not bear to go
to you under such circumstances! 1
have always wanted my independence,
and this grates on my very soul.”
Their eyes met in a long, steady stare.
“Oh, you must—you really must not
aee it that way,” floundered the young
man. "You will make me very miser
able. 1 can’t live without you, Adele.
Besides, I shall not lose by the loan 1
made to your father. The land will
bring the money back sooner or later,
and what will it matter? You will bo
my wife, and your parents will bo my
parents. Already I love them as my
own. Oh, darling, don’t turn me down
this way! Really I can’t help the turn
matters have taken, and if you care for
me you ought not to wreck our happi
ness for a silly whim like this.”
She sat unmoved for a moment,
avoiding the fervid glow of his passion
filled eyes.
“If this thing fails I shall be very un
happy,” she finally said. “Its success
would not make me rich, but it would
remove u debt that has nearly killed
me. 1 have never mentioned it, but it
has been like a sword hanging over my
happiness.”
“Then it shall not fail,” he told her.
“It shall not fall! If those blockheads
vote against it, I’ll buy the right of
way if it takes the last cent I’ve got.’’
This forced a smile to Adele’s lips.
"Then we’d be as deep in the mud as
we now are in the mire,” she said.
Just then Pole Baker came to Miller.
“I don’t want to make no break,” lie
said, “but I’ve got a idea I’d like to
work on them bill Billies in the Jury
room if you hain’t no objeetions. 1
haln’t got time to tell you about it, but
as you are a-runulu’ the shebang I
thought I’d ax permission.”
“Go and do what you think best.
J^ole.” said Miller recklessly. “We con
trust to your beau, and anything is
better than nothing just now. I really
think it’s gone by the board.”
“All right, 1 hunky'.” said Pole as he
shuilled away. He marched straight
to the Jury room and without rapping
opened the door and went in, closing
the door after him. He found the men
all discussing the matter and was de
lighted to find that tin* strength of the
opposition now rested chiefly in Bartell
and a few men who seemed afraid to
pull away from him. Pole slid up to
Bartell and said as he drew him to one
side, “Say, Mr. Bartell, what on earth
have you got agin Alan Bishop?”
“Why, nothin’, Pole, ns I know of,”
said Bartell rather sheepishly. “Nothin’
ag l know of.”
“Well, it looks to me like you got a
mighty pore way o’ showin’ good will.
Why, he’s the best friend you got. Mr.
Bartell, an’ totes more votes in his vest
pocket fer you than any man in this
county.”
“Huh! You don’t say!” grunted Bar
tell In slow surprise. “Well, he never
told me about It.”
“Beca’se you hain't announced yore
se f yet,” said Pole, with a steady eye
and a set face. "Why, he said t’other
day to several of us at tin* log roilin'
yon remem tier you rid by on yore bay,
leadin’ a milk cow by a rope. Well,
after you passed Alan Bishop said:
‘Boys, tliar goes the only ^tn in this
county that has convictions an' the
courage to stand by ’em. They say he's
goin’ to run fer the legislatin ', an' cf lie

does I’ll do all 1 kin to elect ’im. He'll
make the best representative that we
ever had. He’s got brains, he has.’ ”
“You don’t say!” Bartell's face
beamed, his eye kindled and flashed.
“That’s jest what!”
“I hadn't the least idea he was fer
me.” said Bartell, drawing a deep
breath. “In fact, 1 'lowed he would be
agin anybody but a town man."
“Alan never talks much.” said Pole
in a tone of conviction; "he acts when
the time comes fer it. But. la me, Mr.
Bartell, this is a-goiu’ to break him all
to pieces. He's in love with old Bar
clay’s gal, an’ she is with him. Ef hi*
puts this road through today he’ll git
his daddy out o’ debt an’ Barclay will
withdraw his opposition. I don’t know
how you feel, but I’d hate like smoke
to bu'st a man all to flinders that
thought as much o’ me us Alan does o’
you.”
“1 never kuowed he was fer me,”
was Bartell’s next tottering step in the
right direction.
“Well, vote fer the right o’ way, an’
you kin ride to an’ from Atlanta durin’
session all rail. Me an’ Alan will pull
fer you like a yoke o’ steers—me with
the moonshiners, an’ my mountain clan
that ain’t dead yet, an’ him with his
gang. What you say? Put up or shet
up.”
“I’ll do what I kin,” said Bartell, a
new light on his face as he turned to
the others. “Gentlemen,” he began,
“listen to me a minute. I see a good
many of you was affected by Ab Dan
iel's speech an’ sort o’ want the road
anyway, so of”—
“I don’t exactly like them specks,”
broke in a fat, middle aged man at a
window. "By gum! I believe old Ab
had us down about right Ef we kin
git sort o’ opened up along with the rest
o’ creation, I say le’s git in the game.
Huh!”—the man finished, with a laugh
ing shrug—“I don’t like them flyspecks
one bit.”
“Me uuther,” said a man beside him.
“Nur me!” came from some one else.
“Well, I’m willin’ ef the rest are,” an
nounced Bartell. “All in favor hold up
yore hands.”
Pole Baker grinned broadly as he
counted them. “All up—the last one,”
he said, then he sprang for the door ami
stood before the expectant audience.
“Toot, toot!’’ be cried, imitating Urn
whistle of a locomotive. “All aboard!
The road's a settled thing They say
they don’t want no speck', and they
ain't a goin' to have ’em Hooray!”
The audience was electrified by the
announcement. For an instant there
was a pause of incredulous astonish
meat, and then the floor resounded
rom the clatter of feet, and glad shouts
tilled the air.
Alan, his face a I laze with startled
triumph, came toward Adele and Mil
ler. “Pole worked the rabbit foot on
them back there,” lie said. “I don’t
know what lie did, but lie did some
thing.”
“He told me he had a card left,”
laughed Miller. “I'll bet he had it up
his sleeve. There he is now. Oh, Pole
come here!”
The man thus cidressed slouched
down the aisle to them. Ins big brown
eyes flashim; merrily und“r his heavy
brows, his sun browned face dark with
the flush of triumph.
“Ef you don’t back me in it, I'm a
gone dog,” said Pole to Alan. “All l
want you to do is to vote for Bartell
ef you kin possibly swallow the dose.”
A light broke on the two men. “I’ll
do It If you say so, Pole,” said Alan
"Not only that;Tmt I’ll work for him it !
you wish it.”
Pole looked down and pulled at his
heavy mustache.
“Well.” he smiled, “I reckon he won't
harm us any more In the legislatur' ;
than the road ’ll do us good, so you’d
better support ’im. I seed the bars j
down a minute ago, an’ I didn’t have
no time to consult you. I’d ’a’ told
a bigger lie 'au that to clinch this
thing.”
Aimer Daniel joined them, smiling
broadly. Ids eyes twinkling joyously.
The old jester stroked his face and
swung his long body back and forth in
the wind <>f ids content. “I’ve always
argued,” said he. “that what is to be
will be, an' it will be u sight sooner 'n
most of us count on ef we’ll jest keep |
our sperits up."
The others moved on. leaving Adele
ami Miller together.
"Oh. just look at mamma and papa,” ,
she said in the round, full voice indica
tive of deep emotion. “They are so glad
they are about to cry.”
What a dear, dear girl you are!"
said Miller softly. "There is nothing
to separate us now, is there?”
For a moment they met in a full look
into each other's eyes. Adele’s voice
shook when she replied, “I believe I’m
the happiest, proudest girl in all the
world."
"Then you love me?”
“I believe I've loved you from the
very minute 1 met you in Atlanta last
summer.”
Alan saw Dolly looking at him and
waving her handkerchief, her face
warm and flushed, lie was tempted to
go to her, but she still sat by her father
and mother, and that fact checked him.
Mrs. Barclay caught his eye and, ris
ing suddenly, came through the crowd
to him. She extended her gloved hand.
“You and Dolly must stop your fool
ishness,” she said. “I’ve been thinking
of a plan to help you two out. If I
were you I wouldn't say a word to her
now, but next Sunday night come and
take her to church just like you used
to. I'll attend to Colonel Barclay. He
is just tickled to death over this thing,
and he won't make any fuss. He is as
stubborn us a mule, though, and when
he has to give in it's better not to let
him think you are gloating over him.
He won’t bother you any more. I'll see
to that."
Alan thanked her. lie was so full of
happiness that he was afraid to trust
his voice to utterance. As Mrs. Bar
clay was going back to her husband
and daughter Pole Baker passed. Alan
grasped him by the hand.
“Say, Pole,” he said, his voice full
and quavering, "1 want to tell you that
1 think more of you than I do of any
man alive.”
“Well, Alan,” said Pole awkwardly,
yet with an eye that did not waver, “I
kin shore return the compliment. Ef it
hadn't been fer you an’ yore advice, I'd
’a’ been in hell long ago, an’ as it is 1
feel more like livin’ a straight, honest
life than ever 1 did. You never axed
me but one thing that 1 didn’t grant,
an’ that was to give up whisky. I don’t
know whether I ever will be able to do
it or not, but by the great God above*
I’m goin’ to keep on tryin’, fer I know
you want it jest fer my good. I don’t
want a dram today, fer a wonder, an’
maybe in time I’ll git over my thirst.”
As Alan was about :o get'into his
buggy with his uncle, the colonel and
his wife and daughter passed. With a
sheepish look on his face the old man
bowed to the two men, but Doll\
stopped before Alan and held out her
hand.
“You were going away without even
speaking to me,” she said, a catch in
her voice. "Think of it, today of all
days to be treated like that!”
“But your mother told me”—
"Didn’t I tell you she couldn’t be re
lied on?” broke in Dolly, with a smile.
“I have more influence with papa than
she has. I know what she told you. 1
made her confess it Just now. Are you
going to town today?”
“Yes," he Informed her; “we shall
complete the arrangements there.”
“Then come right down to see me as
soon as you possibly can,” Dolly said.
“I’m dying to see you, to talk with you.
Oh, Alan, I’m so-so happy!”
“So urn I,” he told her as he pressed
her hand tenderly. “Then I shall sec
you again today."
“Yes, today sure,” she said, and she
moved on.
“She’s all right,” said Abner Daniel
; as Alan climbed in the buggy beside
him. “She’s all wool an’ a yard wide."
"I reckon you are satisfied with the
' way It come out. Uncle Ab,” said his
nephew, flushing over the compliment
to Dolly.
“Jest want one thing more.” said the
old man, “an’ I can’t make out whether
it’s a sin or not. I want to face Per
kins an’ Abe Tompkins. I’d give my
rigid arm to meet ’em an’ watch the’r
faces when they heer about the rail
road an’ the price yore pa’s land
fetched.”

wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing

wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild ?nd the extra

realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
