TKEia SEC3H0 GUEST ? 3y MAY DE VRIES. s (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Cb?.pman.) Rafferty, the old foreman of the composing room in the big publishing house was an unassuming man, but he stepped to speak to Miss Latham, Mr. Angell's stenographer as he made his way upstairs with a BTindle of proofs under his arm. "Now I'll tell you how it is, Miss Latham," pursued the foreman, de VIA nrAnfo whirh WPfA |/U011IU5 IUC pi V/V1U| ?* M?VM -- ?- ? marked "hurry," upon her desk. "We know your people live up-state, and we thought you mightn't take it amiss if we asked you to come in and eat your Sunday dinner with us, day after tomorrow. We're got a turkey, and?and there's no one to help us eat it," he said disconsolately. "So, as you live in the next block, we thought?" "Why, I'll come with real pleasure, Mr. Rafferty," answered Miss Latham, grasping the foreman's inky hand "At two o'clock," said Rafferty, evidently relieved. "Do you like sage stuffing. Miss Latham?" "I dote on it," the girl replied. And Rafferty, reminding her of the time again, took up his bundle and made his way upstairs. It was a cosy little apartment into which Miss Latham penetrated on next Sunday. There was scrupulous olflnnlinacc onH that PviripnfP Of a ViCaunuvoc, wuu vmmv w. ? harmonious family of two which can be sensed the moment one opens a 'door. And as the girl ..entered, she saw Mrs. Rafferty struggling under the weight of a huge platter which must have contained a giant among turkeys. Two minutes later Rafferty was 'Carving as tender and luscious a bird as ever grew to maturity, while Mrs. Rafferty, looking a little self-conscious, was apologizing for the Rafferty home. "But it's a home, my dear," she said, "and that's better than a boarding house. And it wasn't any more for your sake than for ours I Wanted you to come. Since we lost Michael, it hasn't been any home to us." ' "Michael?" inquired the girl. "That's $ an unusual name." "Yes," said Mrs. Rafferty. "He was mine and my first husband's, but-when Tim wanted me to marry him and I showed him the boy, and asked how he'd like to start in with a ready-made family, he took such a fancy to him it broke his heart when Michael turned wild." "I am so sorry," murmured the girl, watching her hostess with flushed cheeks. "Well, the boy and Tim had a row about one thing and another, and finally Michael put on his hat and kissed me. 'Good-by, mother, 111 never come back,' he said. I didn't believe him, but he kept his word. That was two ~years ago and Tim would have cut out his tongue sooner than have spoken the words he did." The plum pudding came in and they fell to. But Miss Latham seemed to have lost her appetite. "Now what's the matter, honey?" demanded motherly Mrs. Rafferty as he drew the girl aside while Tim washed the dishes. "It's some fellow that isn't worth troubling your pretty head about, isn't it? I've been through tt myself. Come, now, tell me." "Oh, Mrs. Rafferty," sobbed the girl, "I know I'm a dreadful impostor, but I couldnt tell them at the office, and it was only last month, and he's traveling for Arthur Buckle & Co. and won't he back till tomorrow and?" "Married?" gasped Mrs. Rafferty in wonder. The girl nodded and brushed away * fugitive tear that wfis trickling down iter cheek. ' "Glory be!" cried Mrs. Rafferty. "Tim! Come here! May I tell him, dearie r "Yes," whispered the girl. She knew that at the office Rafferty, with his innate loyalty, would be as mute as a clam. So Mrs. Rafferty told him. Next Instant Thn was executing a war dance round the girl "And whatll be your real name?" he asked. "Just Miss Latham?please?until spring, and then we shall start housekeeping," sobbed the girl. "So not a wuru, oi course. "Oh, Tim," sobbed Mrs. Rafferty, "I'm so glad. If only we had our Michael with us now!" "If only Miss?Miss Latham could Tuive brought her young man with her," cried Rafferty. "That would have been?" A sharp peal at the bell interrupted him. He pressed the button that opened the front door and, with pardonable curiosity, the two opened the door of the apartment and peered over the banisters. "I believe that's?that's?" gasped the girl. "I left word at the boarding house that I was here in case he could come back. Oh, excuse me!" And, amid cries to bring him upstairs, the girl flew down to meet the newcomer, whose firm steps resounded in the second passage below. * Mrs. Rafferty slipped her hand into her husband's and felt his kiss on her cheek. The girl and the man were coming un the stairs. His arm was round her ?nd she was looking up into his face, which was bent down toward hers. And neither of them saw the watchers above until they reached their floor. Then Mrs Rafferty screamed. "Michael!" she cried. And the next moment the young man was holding his mother in his arms, while his step-father executed a seo4)nd war dance round hitf. HUSBAND htSOUtD DESPAIRING WIFE After Fonr Tears of Discouraging Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave Up in Despair. Husband Came to Rescue. Catron, Ky.~In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: "I suffered for four v?orc with wnmanlv trnuh1f?s and durinor ceived for the 1912 crop in North Carolina and South Carolina, nor his figures for the year 1913, as compiled by two of the leading tobacco firms of the country, and which were published in the Southern Tobacco Journal, the leading tobacco paper of the South. Now, Mr Merritt, you have mad the statement that I have shipped large quantities of tobacco each year to North Carolina. Now, sir, I demand that you go to the railroad agent at Lake City, get a full and complete record of the shipmenti of tobacco I made each year to North Carolina during the eleven years and see if you can substantiate your charges. In view of the statements you have made against me, Mr Merritt, you must fully establish and prove them to be true.

In conclusion, I will say that I am heartHy in sympathy with the efforts of the Farmers' Union in anything the organization can do for the betterment of the masses of the people, and the stand I am taking in reference to not grading tobacco, is purely for the sole interest of the masses of the tobacco growers, and I am sure you will find this to be to the interest of evefy man who raises tobacco.* It is to your interest and not to mine, as my charges would be much more were you to grade your tobacco and your labor would be almost double.

Should the controversy continue further we hereby notify all the parties concerned that their replies must be submitted within a reasonable time after the articles replied to appear in the paper. A hiatus of over two months bet ween each article would string out the controversy interminably; also our correspondents must in future confine themselves to a reasonable amount of space.
