I'm ^<>in l?> try tlg'lll 111 the mornlll to glt him to go away." Sim entered the room, ami I'np and Mlrnndy lapsed Into silence. Whether Pap would have succeeded the next morning in persuading Sim t<> ro re mains a mailer of doubt, for be never had a chance lotry. Bcforo Sim had I. II his bed Sat.: Morgan etlino with a slat.- warrant tu arrest llilll. Mary Mann bad discover Od In some way that Sim bad returned, and she rep..rle.l it to .Mm Thorn. Tho latter, overanxious to loins Sim to jfis tleo, had hiirri..! before Squire Iteeson and sworn out the warrant. The srjulre's sympathies were with Sim, but he had his oflleinl duties lo perform, no matter how disagreeable they might be. Sam Morgan, too, who still held the ofllco of township cousin ble, sympathized with Sim. although he believed him guilty. When he came to make the arrest, lie said w ith an r.lr of apology: "1 hale to do It, Sim; I do shore. I never done anything I hated to do wuss'n I hale to do Ibis, an Ii' I had my way 'bout It I'd ruthcr be twitched." "That's all right, Sain." Sim replied. "I'm not blatnln you none." "Of course you know bow I'm fixed, Sim." Sam went on. "I'm standli right botwlxt my own Inclinations an the law, an, no matter how much I'd like to glvo way to the fusl, the law's got. the right .'III has u'ol lo be heeded When a feller's tillin a responsible of lice under Ihe law. bo can't do as he wants to.

"Yes, I know, Sam, and I nili'l think In hard of you." "I'm ?lad you look at ii Mini way. Sim. 'cause we was allus ur">>d friends, au I don't want you to f el burl at me. Hut. my laud. Sim. yon don't know how strict the law is un how it bears down on a body an he;,, him nil in on ever' side, so's he nili'l gol in. rl?hl l>. do ns he pleases nor not bin. it's un awful solemn an responsible Illing, (his lioldlll ..Mice is. an a feller Jesl has b> do his duly as he sees It. Ilo matter what It costs nor w Im It pinches." "That's all right, Sam. 1 ain't goln to have no hard feelln's for no man i lest Yniso he'? doln Ids (Intv. nn I know Hint's all you're doln now. I'm | not blanilli Squire I'.eeson neither, for I he's not done anything He didn't have ( to do. It looks like Jim Thorn Is put- | tin himself out a right smart, but may be he feels that he Ollglll to, an any how I ain't bill 111 In him neither. I nin't blninlll nobody." "Waal, I'm ?lad you feed that n-wny, Sim, I'm shore. I don't like the way .Ilm Thorn done, (hough, un I ain't liked tin' way he's done from the fust. He was the fust man lo accuse you of that crime." "lint you all b'llovcd It, Sam. nil ex cept I'np Sampson an I.oiiccsy." "Yes, but LOW COIlld we help It? I didn't, want to, but you know how ev er'thlng wiw ag'ln you. Then thnr was tho threat you made that day over to MIh'i.u Mauu'ii whoatfleld oujho words you >ael lu inc Hi" lust tiiui* 1 see you." "I know. Kvor'lldug'a ng'ln ino< I tut. Slllllj If I wan to sw'ar to you that I'm Innocent wonhl yon b'llevo iuo?" "I would, Sim. VailSO I know you'd never Kw'ar to a llu." *? I ii? ii I sw'ar to you that 1 nover killed .lames Melvlll. May QoU help in?;" "Sim Banks," Sain said, "from this minute i h'llovo you Innocent. Thar's my hand on that." "Thank you," Sim replied. "It does me :i world of \i.I to hear you say (lint. And now. Sam, I'm ready tu no." "All right. We'll go before Squire Iteesoii an P i him si t the day for your preliminary he.arhi, or w ill you waive thai an wail I'm- tho grail' Jury to net'.'" "l duutin. Which w ill ho boat?" "Will. 11 yotl waive a lien rill In the squire's court you'll have to go to Jail, while ii you have a hearln you mought git out on ball." "Then I'll have a hearln, an tho quicker the heller. Hut what you reckon they'll do with me, Sam?" "1 can't say, hut not much, I hope." Tin y had reached the door wbcu Pap Samp.-mi caino from another room and culled to Sam. "W hat is it, L'lip?" Sam asked. "Iis n t toll I the man that COI110 wdtli Sim." Tap replied. * * 11?. ? wants you to semi Squire Ifccsoil an two other men her?"." "Wim! for?" "1 don'l know. Ho jest savs he wauls Vm, IUI, though lie's so siek Ulis inornin lha( lie can't sei up, he says if you ilon'l Bend 'em he'll go to the squire's olllce even if lie has to crawl ever' fool ol' the way on his han's an knees." "Lord, I'll senil 'ein. of course. But I enn'l make out w hat on earth ho wants of 'em. Must want 'cm putty partlc' ! lar, too, to talk that a w ay." "Seeiiis so. Vmi heller send Jason Roberts an .lake I licks, I guess." I '?All right, Tap. I'll send 'ein." As Sam and Sim walked down the street the former said: "Who is that man that come with you, SlinV" ?'lie's a feller-1 got to know In the army." Sim replied. "lie corao thnr tw'o or three weeks after me, an he .-aid his name was Thompson. That's \ 'bold all I know 'hout him." "Don't you know whar ho belongs ' nor nothln?" "No. lie never would speak of tils past life nor of his homo nor nothln." "Humph! That'll qunlro, nlnt It?" "Yea, 1 thought it a little curious, hut I 'lowed it wasn't any of my business, bo I never said anything to him 'bout It." "No, luit it qunlre, an so is hl? want In tho squire an them men. I can't Dgger it out." Sim showed but little Interest. He j was thinking of something else. His mind was on Louisa, the one chief sub ject of Ids thoughts during all the long four years of his absence, lie was wondorim- if ho should boo her again now that tie was so near. She had never bellovcd him guilty. That was one great comfort. No matter what his fate, that Knowledge would cheer him even if she held aloof from him in his hour of t rouble. At the squire's ofllcc Sam remained guarding his prisoner while tho squire mid the others went to answer the luminous of the stranger. Pop Sainp K.iii, finding himself not needed at home, enme down to bo with Sim. The news of the arrest having 1 spread, a number of people cnino to see Sim. a few of them out of sympathy, hut the greater number out of mere cu riosity, .lim Thorn and Mary Mann w i re among the visitors. Thorn did not say a word to Sim, but there was a triumphant expression on his face that showed he was highly gratified at Sim's arrest. He ha<l nev er forgotten that blOW Sim had gl .en him, and now, after four years, he was getting his roveilgo and getting it in full measure. Mrs. Mann was equally as well plens Pd ns Thorn; but, unlike him. she was 11? ? t content to lei the expression on her features show her feelings. Approach* lllg quite (lose to the prisoner, fdlO .?aid: "I'm glad to see you, sim Ranks, on to sec you right where you are. I hope now j nu'ro satisfied." Sim made no reply, lint Sum Morgan spoke fur him. "Mis'us Mann," he said, "you ort to l?e ashamed. Anybody thnt'd talk to Sim thai a way now ain't got as much heart ns a stone. If you can't Bay something eomfortin, don't Bay any thing." "Lot III 111 look to Loueesy Banks for eomfortin words. She's the one to speak 'em. An jest lot him wait till she does speak 'em. He'll wait for ever." Pap Sampson had been fidgeting in ami out of the room ever since ho j ( .line. He'd go out and look off down I the fltrOOt, then come ill ftlld sit ?0WI1. In a few mhllltes he'd go through the snmo .lions again, This he kept up till filially Ham Morgan said: "What's the matter of you, Tap, that you've got so restless all at once7" "Nofhlll, Sam, nothln at alt," Pap re plied. But Sain Morgan know better. CHAPTER XXIV. "ai i.'s win. THAT k.'nuh WRf.l.." Tap Sampson was expecting tho nr rlvol of Louisa. He had Immediately after Sim's return sent her word In forming her of Hint fact, He had not asked her to eomo and bad made no suggestion as to what she should do. He simply told her that Sim had eomo home and was going to give himself up and left the rest to her. lb- believed she would come. Ho felt confident of It. but ho didn't know. He said nothing (o Sim of what he had done Ii r fear . f OllCOtiraglng false hopes. If Louisa came, It would be nil right, but if she didn't. It would bo better for Sim to think BllO didn't know. So it was that Pap Sampson was nil on odgo with expectancy and doubt and w as in a continual fidget. He was so anxious for Louisa to eomo and so afraid she wouldn't. Then, too, If sho did eomo ho wanted to tie the lirst to meet her. or course sim's old neighbors wore anxious to lenrn tho history of Iiis Ufo during the four yours of hl? ai,. soncc, nnd they piled him with ongor finest Ions UDtll he was forced to tell much more than ho wished. Ills career as a soldier had been .glorious jn an humble way, for he bad fought at the front in many hard contested bat? ties, and he had performed more than one deed of uncommon valor. Hut Sim was modest, and It was trying to hlm to have to speak of these things, and even When he was driven to It he pass d them over ns lightly as possi ble. Tap Bauipsou, however, was too fond nud proud of Sim to allow his heroism to remain unknown. So, not withstanding his excited condition, ho took time to tell the full story of how Sim had saved Thompson by bravely resculug him from tho hold of battle In a rain of shot and shell. Pap told It all as Thompson had told It, giving Sim his full meed of credit- When he bad finished, there was a long silence, during which everybody sat with open month, staring ut Sim In astonishment. It was a full minute before any ono spoke, and even then some one merely exclaimed: "Waal, I'll jest bo doggonedl" 1 This broke the spell, and quickly Sam Morgan added: "Don't that beat you? Who'd V ever thought of Sim Hanks doiu any slob a way as that?" "Lord," some one exclaimed, "I bet ho was* skeered, though. Wa'n't you, Sim?" "I don't know," Sim replied wearily. "I don't mind much 'bout tt." Pnp Samp! ??" brought his cone down with a thump. "Of co'se Sim wa'n't skeered," he said. "A man that'll do like ho ?tone ain't it gwlno to git skeered at UOthitl. Sim Hanks skeered! Lord, you make UM' plumb tiled." "My land. Pap, you're plumb right 'bout that. A feller fixed like Sim was thai- don't have no time to think 'bout ?lttln skeered. I know Jest how it are, 'cause I've been in lots of jest sieh scrapes myself. I mind doin putty nigh jest that same thing once on a awful bloody battlefield, an I wa'n't no more skeered than I am this minute." "Was that the time von lit Hicks' enters down tlinr In 11it- collar, Ebene Bcr?" Ebcnezcr Sparks tossed bis head with ail :ilr of line seorn. "1 reckon," be suhl, "you think you're pow'ful Biunrt, allua draggln that old cellar In over' time 1 ?last to open my mouth. But I guess you'll keep on n-dra??in It Iii till you've wore It plumb Otlt." Pap Sampson, who had been out on the street, came hurriedly In and whis pered something to Sim. No one heard what he said, but whatever It was it hail a magical effect, for Sim was transformed In an Instant from a state of listless apathy to one of eager and excited interest. His face beamed, and Ids eyes glistened, and be trembled from head to fo ?t. lie sprang up and started out, bill Sam Morgan laid his hand gently on his arm to detain hllll. The next moment n woman appeared In the open door. Everybody looked 1 up and saw It was Louisa. Then a si lence as still as death fell over the scene. She paused for nn instant and glanc< od around. Her eyes wandered until they rested Oil Sim. Then with a cry full of Joy and pathos she tottered to Wlird him. His arms opened to receive bei*, and the next moment she was folded to his breast, and in silence they were weeping together. Nobody spoke. 1 r was n scene too Impressive, too sacred, to bo disturbed. Many stood with their heads bent, their hearts full and their eyes moist with tears. Sam Morgan drew his handkerchief from his pocket and has tily turned his face away, while Ehe nezor Sparks stood smiling Idiotically, tnnklug heroic efforts to appear unaf fected. No on moved but Pap Sampson. lie stood thumping the lloor with his cane as tl oilgh be had a contract to thump a In e through It and was determined to accomplish his undertaking. All the while there was a smile on his wrin kled, tanned old face such as had not been se n there for many days. He was happy, and no wonder! He had worked and hoped and longed for this all those four lon? years. It was Sim who broke the silence. Taking Louisa's head between his hands, he raised it gently until their eyes met. Then he saw that she, too, had suffered. "Poor little ?Irl!" he said tenderly. "It has been hard, cruelly hard, for you." "Yes," she Biglied, "hard and dark, but It has been harder for you. Poor Sim!" "And you pity me too7" She drew closer to blm and met his eyes with hers In a look full of tender ness. "it Is not that. Sim," she whispered. "It Is not pity." He began to tremble. Ah, could it be that heaven was about fo open rl?nt before htm, with all its ll?ht ami ?lory. after this long, weary nlgllt of bitter desolation? lie dared not hone, it was too much to expect. In husky, ea gor tones he said: "Louisa, tell me, what Is It?" "It is love." Then to Sim Banks all the ?lory and Joys of earth and heaven were unfold ed, and In one moment all the dark sor rows and pains of the past, nil the threatened dangers of the future, pnss cd away us a dream. That was the one moment of supreme bliss in his life. Holding tier close to his heart, be said: "Lotiecsy, Is it really true? Can It be possible?" "It Is," she replied. "It Is all true. 1 love yoil. I have loved you for u Ion? time. How could I help It nfter nil your goodness to nie und the wuy you did when yon went away?" Sim looked at her wondcrlugly. "I don't understand," lie said "I on ly tried to do my duty the beat I could 11 wasn't much." "It was much to me. It wns CnOtlgll to show me that you nre tho noblest and best man in the world, and I love you with my whole heart nnd soul." Sim was too happy to speak, so he stood silently stroking her hnlr, nl> Sorbin? the Joy with which tho very air seemed Impregnated. After a little While she said: "And now, SI in, can you ever for ?Ivo me nfter nil I have made you suf for?" "Forglvo you. Loucesy!" he exclaim ed. "Cod knows I never had a hard thought for you an never blamed you for anything in my life." "No, but for nil that. Sim, I was wicked." "You wns not to blame. What you <1. you couldn't help. You wns not to blame one bit." She nestled her bond on his shoulder nnd drew n lon? sigh of happy relief. "I know now," she snld, "that 1 never loved before?not with such love ns this." Some there wero who watched tills roilnIon of hushnnd and wife with turloslty, some who watched It with Joy nnd two who watched It With mallco and envy. These last were Mary Mmm nnd Jim Thorn. They did not forRot that Sim was under arrest nnd thnt probably the gallows or tho state diIhou awaited bim. Oil* in spite of that tbey would have de prlvcd lilin of tho hnppluesa of this brief moment. Ham Morgan was rejoiced, yet trou bled. Ho was liappy t > see Sim ami Louisa Jollied in love. Put lie. too. re incmbercd the future aud what it like |y bold for Sim. Tltrulug to 1'ajiSamp | pou. bo whispered: "I'd give the world if Sim was only free. It scorn-; mi Paul to take idm from his wife now." "Sim's Innocent," Tap replied, "an I don't b'llevo he'll have to suffer." "I wish I could b'llevo that. Tap, but I can't. I don't see no reason for hope." "I'll hope to the last. Sam, reason or no reason. It 'pears like the squire an them others is stayin a long time, don't it V" "Does so. That feller must 'a' had n heap ??;' business with 'em. I'd give a pltllty to know w hat it Is." "Mebby we'll know rigid soon now. for I sec 'em n-eoinln." Presently the squire entered the room, followed closely by Jason Hub erts and Hicks. The squire looked very solemn, ami his face was almost sad. Hicks was quiet and impassive, hut Jasoll was smiling all over. The squire walked to his seat, and Hicks followed and sat near hill). Neither of them spoke to anybody. Jason, how ever, stopped long enough to whisper a word to Sim. What that word was no one know, hut they all saw that it caused Sim to start and look wonder lugly around. The squire put on his speet: cles. took a paper from ids pocket am unfolded It. Then bo looked around over ah those assembled and said Impressively "I have hero a paper that 1 am ^oiio, to read, but first I want to say. in t?ic presence of you all, that Sim Hanks Is an Ini'oeciil man." A flutter <it' excitement succeeded these words, ami two or three edged up to Sim and extended hhn their hands to show that they were glad. Sam Morgan gnve a yell and threw his hat clear up to the celling, while I'ap Sump son began a vigorous pounding on the floor with his c:\ne. Squlro Becsou rapped on Ids table to bring Tap and Sum to order. Thou ho proceeded to read the paper in? held III his hand. That paper was tho confession of .to Boph Thompson, formerly known to III Jenkins ami Jonathan Turner us Walto, but whose real name was. Hob ort Mnrchnnd. He confessed In tho presence of witnesses and under oath that bo fired the shot that killed Frank Sheltoti, alias James Melvln. He did It, he said, to avenge the honor of his sister and the life of his brother, and he bad no regrets for the act. He had tracked Stieltou to that place, and bo had come there under the name of Walte for the purpose of killing III in. After that he bad gone to tho army under tho name of Thompson, and fate had guided him to Sim Hanks, the man who was suspected of ids crime. When Sim came home, he had come with him, knowing Sim would he ar rested and It would devolve on him to clear him. "So now." tho squlro concluded, "Sim Hanks Is discharged and stands before tho world an Innocent ami a free man." "An the happiest man this side of kingdom come," Pap Sampson cried, "an I'm next!" Then was Joy turned loose. Jim Thorn and Mary Mann slipped quietly out and stole away, but all tlio rest re mained to congratulate SI III ami re Jolee with him ami Louisa. It was a great BCCIIC and one that was never forgotten, and if Squire Boeson's ollleo floor was Uot punched full of holes it was not I'ap Sampson's fault. "Hi p Is my true and tried old friend.-' Sim said, with tears In his eyes, "for ho stood by inn from tho first to the last." "land. Situ, nobody couldn't ever make me b'llevo you done It," Pap re oiled, "an when these fellers 'lowed It was you I allowed they was Jest bark In at :i knoV." Ami this Is all. except that two days later Itobort Marcliand died In Sim Hanks' arms and that Sim and Louisa have Bottled down to a new life, with the old dark past cut adrift, with all Its Borrows, sufferings and misunder standings. SI in Is bnppy und contented, for ho knows Ids wife loves hhn. Tin: END. THE RI<;r-IION AT M KM PHIS A Grand Welcome to the Confeder ate Veteran?-A Hundred Thou sand Strangers. Tho eleventh annual reunion of tho United Confederate Veterans was held in the city of Memphis, Tent)., and one hundred thousand strangers were in the city when the reunion began, which is equivalent to the entire, population of Memphis. The great convention hall was tho centre of an enormous crowd for nearly two hours before the hour set for I he commencement of the exercises. The interior of tho hall was a thing of beauty, the excellent work ol the dec orators being shown in all its merit. The exercises were almost enhreh eon lined to (he welcoming addresses, the completion of permanent organiza tion and the appoinlmcu of the. com mittees on ICSOlutiona and credentials. The convention was called to order by (ion. Geo. W. Cordon, of Memphis, who rapped his desk with a gavel made of wood taken from a tree which shad ed the favorite seat of .Jefferson Davis at Beauvoir, Ue.v. .1. Win.

C'.KRMAN K AI 1 WORKS, <;j N.i .-..in ^ i.. New Vorle. complimented the men of the South on their glorious record in the war and deplored the fad that so many of the glorious hand had passed away. (Jhcer after cheer greeted the Governor. Mayor Wilhams extended a welcome on behalf of the city conned of Mem phis. Kx Senator Turley expressed his pleasure in extending the greetings of the citizens of Memphis. Among these citizens, he. said, wore many who dur ing the war had placed their sympathy and lesources against the cause of the Confederacy. To these citizens of Memphis, who had opposed the South (luring the war, much of the success of Iho reunion was duo. His announce ine.nl. of the part laken in Iho work by the Federal sympathizers wnsgreet ed with repeated cheers. The hall was then turned over to (b n. .lohn r>. (Jordon commander of Iho United Confederate Veterans, and Hie mention of his name was greeted with choct alter cheer. The veterans again and again gnvo him the yell of wi Iconic as he advanced from the rear of the platform, and it was some minutes before his clear, ringing Voice could be beard for the tumult ?Uli winch he was greeted. Gen. Gordon responded to the grnciOUS welcome of I Tennessee, which lor the third lime was receiving the remnant of the Smith's matchless armies, Ural at Chat I tanoogn, then at Nashville and now at Memphis. No place, was more lilted for such a gathering, said (it n. Gor don, than ibis city by the great river, which was once the highway for i on clads, whose waters were churned by torpedoes into a BCCtlling cauldron mill whose bluffs were ram pa its of defence for a struggling people. Heie. in ibis Memphis no Alcxand r the Great ever j worshipped in life or laid in state w hen dead ; hut here lived, here fought, here died and here rests the honored ashes of Nathan I led fold Forrest, the vvilicH horseman of modern times and the equal in native, untutored genius ol the greatest cavalryman <?l any age. 14 We are glad, therefore, to meet in Memphis. In the fulness of our hearts we thank this generous people lor their invitation ami for this princely recep tion. I conclude, as I began with the declaration that no more appropriate place, for such a gathering could have been selected. It '.s appropriate lor Iho reasons a'ready suggested. It is appropriate because of its geographical position, and by I be steadfast ad herence of iis people lo the immortal incmoiies of I be past ; it is in the very center of I be lost bid forever loved Confederacy. It is appropriate because it is built upon the banks of the great river which binds together with its liquid links the distant sections of our great common country, lor this city of Memphis is one of the fountain heads of that stream of American brother hood and unity which Mows wilh ever increasing volume through all liberty loving Ainei ican hearts." At the conclusion of General Gor don's address Generals. 1) Lee pre sented an oaken gavel, whose head was made In III the wood of the steamer Star of the West, n! w hich was lired the llrst shot of the war as it attcmptud to carry relief to Port Sunder. General George VV. Gordon then de livered a gavel made of wood, taken from a tree growing on the bnltlcllcld of Appomatox. In a neat address Gen. John 11 Gor don accepted both gavels. lie Iben presented in a few happy wools Col onel Kennet II. Voting, of Louisville, the orator of Hie day. While. Colonel Young was in the midst of his address, the form oi Gen eral Filxliugh Leo was seen as iho gen eral plowed his way through I he crowd, on his way to the plolform. lie was greeted with warm cheers as he stepped upon the platform.
