Copyright, 1909, by Harper <t Brother* ' ' i U (Continued from Jird page.) Mra. Trultt'a been tryln' to git 'Ini to leave, but old Basconi won't let 'Ini go. Now, George, git the rifle an* shoot me the fattest chicken you see In the yard. I'm goln' to fry it fer you. I'll bet you hain't hnlf fed thnr at II1I1yer's. Them nigger cooks don't know how to prepure a meal o' vlttles." "Mother" ? he turned suddenly and x resolutely on her?"you haven't told mo all about her coming here." * "Yes, I have, George, s' help me God!" "Not all you?thought, mother." The woman hesitated, and then she faltered: "No, I'll admit that, George. IIow could I? I laid iiwnko npnrlv nil that night studyln' over It." "Tell me what you thought, mother." "Why, George? I"? "Mother, this Is the darkest day 1 ' have ever spent. 1 hod one other as had, but I drowned It In whisky, hut now"?he smiled rigidly?"I am facing the music with a clear head. Mother, what did you think?" "Well. George," after another pause, T sorter believed she kissed me an'? *n' looked like she wanted to cry In i my arms beca'se I was yore mother. I never could make out?women are . sech riddles, even to the'rselves?1 never could make out whether it was a gomlby kiss Intended for you or?or another sort. I watched her tell she got clean across the pasture Held, an' she walked all the way with 'er head down. Now git the gun." He sat down suddenly. "Mother, I couldn't kill a living thing today," ho said. "I want everything to live and breathe. How can 1 give her up when ?when she kissed you?" CHAPTER XV. evening after supper In the | y middle of that week Kenner met George in the otllce of the I Johnston House, the only hotel In tlio place. It was full of traveling salesmen and wagoners from the j mountains, who had come in to sell j their cotton. "I've been honey fuggl in' 1 some of 'cm up," Kenner smiled, "tell- J lug 'em this is the best market, an' so I forth, in the south. They'll git to be- j llevln' It after awhile. Ef you hain't ; got nothin' to do let's walk over to Hob i Hanks' store." George agreed, and they started out t together. "That boy's a big puzzle to j me," Kenner continued thoughtfully. ! "Sometimes I think Ilillyer did right j In backin' Mm in his business, an' then , ngMn I think maybe his own daddy knows Mm better'n anybody else." "Why, I thought Bob was simply doing wonderfully well," said George in surprise. 111-?i je?i ici iiim oiu nanus go i he'd be all right," replied Kenner, "but , the boys say he's as bad about flirt in' ; with the gals as he ever was. You know thar's a little orphan in Mrs. j Styles' boardin' school on the bill. The j gal's from Louisville, Ivy.; she hain't , niore'n sixteen ef she's that, an' she's a purty, daredevil little trick. Well, you know the old lady's powerful par- . ticulur about the gals under her charge, especially the boardin' pupils, i but Rob manage* to meet that gal two ! or three times a week unbeknownst to , Mrs. Styles, an' they take walks an' buggy tides together. She's a bright j little thing, an' the boys say she's simply crazy about Rob an' everything he does. He's Jest liavln' his fun: but, George, you know that's unbeeomin' In a feller that's tnakin' the start Rob Is. Why. we elected Mm on the board o' trade t'other night." "I should think it was unbecoming of him," said George emphatically; "the boy ought to be talked to." "I generally do my leeturin' to the young gang in a roundabout way," replied Kenner. "I always tell 'em the devilment I used to do an' make 'em feel like I'm one of 'em, an* then end up by showln* 'em whar I was wrong. I'm goin' to try to talk Rob out o' this prank o' his." They found the young grocer in the rear of his store, with his coat off, directing a negro porter who was stacking a car load of flour in bags against the wall. "Hello!" said Kenner. "How's business today?" "Little off," replied Rob, "but a fair average: we are coin' to hnvo n rush tomorrow. Did you see nil them paper flacks full o' coffee oiul sugar on the counter ns you come In? That's to save tho hoys time in weighing up. Look out there"?to the porter?"didn't I tell you to stack 'em straight?" ICenner and (Jeorge sat down at tlie stove and Dob drew up an empty candle box and sat on it. The negro llnIshed his work and went to the front, "i/ooky* here, Boh," said Kenner, with a Reductive smile, "I've been hankln' on you, my boy, an' scotchin' fer you, but you are gittln' old enough to sorter quit yore devilment. I've been hearin' about the way you are a-carryln' on with that little IxuilsvUle gal, an' I hated It." "Oh, never mind that, Mr. Kenner." Bo!) put his broad, red hand over his mouth and laughed. "I know what I'm about. Don't you bother about me." "That never will do, Bob mind what I say," replied the cotton buyer. "You've started out beautifully; you are tl^e wonder an', I may say, the pride Of the town, but If tho like o' "V" the deuce." "I tell you I know what I'm about," aid Bob, "an* I don't want no meddliu'." lie was quite serious and his face had clouded over. Fearing he had been too hasty, Kenner took a new tack. "I was a powerful devil when I was a young chap," he 6nld to George more than to the man at whom he was peaking. "In iny day an' time thar was actually the wust set o' young men in this town that ever lived. I wasn't much inclined to go into mischief, but them boys Jest made me. It's plumb foolishness to try to lay down rules fer other folks to live by. I 1'arnt l>ow silly all that VML though. Bob, an* I like to try to young fellows to steer clear oHHw^ioies I fell in." "That's the way with all o' you darned old codgers," Bob said, now in a thoroughly good humor. "You have all the fun, an' when It's over you amuse yourselves by trying to keep the younger generation from doing the same thing." "But it must he in moderation, my boy,'' snid Kcuner seriously, "and that little bonrdin' school pal is still in short dresses. You've got a future before you, Bob, and are mnkinp a bully start. Don't do anything to plve tho old man a chance to throw It up to us that we was wrong in standin' up fer you." Boh avoided Ivenner's serious stare. "I've got up a now scheme," he went on evasively. "I'm going to fill up a big wagon full of groceries and go away up in the mountains with a lot of catchy handbills. I Intend to take along some of the goods to show that ihoy are the right sort, and I'll set around and eat with the people and crack jokes and make friends like a candidate for office. I'll bet you I make it pay. I'm going to start some of 'em this way that are now buying on the other side of the mountains." J\. UIII1?-U|> IUCH, Saill IVIMIIKT UUjulrlngly. "I've been up thar a good fleal myself, an' better folks never lived." CHAPTER XVI. ^RiS. CRANSTON availed herself of the first opportunity to speak confidentially to Kitty Cosby about Lydia and George Duckley after Miss Cosby's arrival from Virginia. "You remember, I wrote you I had something particular to tell you, Kitty," she remarked on the tirst afternoon as she and the guest were strolling on the lawn together. "And you bet you roused in.v curiosity, Mrs. Cranston," replied the girl, who was quite pretty, decidedly stylish and tall and graceful, having brown hair and hazel eyes that seemed constantly laughing. "I know it's about Lydia." Mrs. Cranston led her into a summer house near the carriage drive. It had two compartments and entrances from different walks. Refore answering, Mrs. Cranston peered cautiously through the wooden latticework that airjmiuicu uio LWU rooms. "What are you doing?" Miss Cosby asked. "I was looking to see if anybody was on the other side," was the answer, in a satisfied tone, as Mrs. Cranston seated herself. "We had a lot of trouble here in the summer at a lawn party, owing to some people hearing themselves talked about. There was a spoony pair on that side and a couple ol old maids on this one. The lovers were blissfully silent, for reasons of their own, and they heard some things about themselves that they didn't like. Yes, I want to talk to you about Lydia." "I knew it," cried the visitor, laying her two hands on Mrs. Cranston's arm and sitting down beside her. "She'* going to marry the governor, and yon want me to help prepare for the event." Mi's. Cranston shook her head and went on with a lengthy explanation ol the existing state of affairs, in which the name of George I.uckley appeared as often as that of Governor Telfare. "Now, you see the tlx we are in,' Mrs. Cranston ended. The young lady was silent, her fait brow wrinkled. "Why, Mrs. Cranston it's simply awful!" she said after n pause. "It will never do for it to g<; on like this, it will be ruinous. Ila? the child lost her reason? Why, if ht is as bad as you say, how on earth does he happen to be in?in good so tin)?evon ucif [ "Perhaps I a in not quite fair to liiin," Mrs. Cranston admitted, "or to Lydii either, in not mentioning what lias real ly been in ids favor. In the tlrst place he is by* far the best educated and most refined young man in the place his employer sent him olf to college and gave him extraordinary advan tages; then he happens to be a grea 1 reader, and I .yd in is, too, you knowyes, lie lias most remarkably polished manners and is decidedly good look' ing." "Oh, and you put that last! How ridiculous!" Miss Cosby laughed iner rlly and then suddenly subsided, foi her hostess was looking at her with n pained expression. "It's no laughing matter, Kitty. We are in an awful fix. You know how headstrong Lydla is, and if she were Just to get the idea that we were opposing her she'd be worse than ever. Bo I knew your Influence would be good. You will bring her back to the old associations, and in an lndirecl way you can show her the social ad vantages of marrying Governor Telfare." "Oh, I can do all that," said Kitty, "and if she is not already in love with this--this nondescript I'll bring her to her senses. But tell me about hiin? that's the main thing. What's he like? How does he conduct himself? Why, I can't imagine a?a son of a common thief, a lowborn mouutuineer, a penniless bookkeeper, being even for g liiln ute on a Social rooting With th& only child of Major Cranston?oven If you are living In the backwoods, out of all ! creation. If tbo two were shipwrecked i on a lonely Island together 1 should think"?Kitty was displaying her line, even teeth In a jovial smile?"that the very waves would throw up a sort of barrier." "The religious element here governs j everything," returned Mrs. Cranston, : with n patient smile. "These good, J Christian people would think we were j awfully stuck up If we refused to admit a worthy young man to our house ' just becnuse his father had gone 1 wrong; besides, he had established himself before his father's trouble. We simply drifted into the situation, and things went on till now we don't know where we stand. But to be perfectly ' fair to hlin, Kitty, he's simply a masculine marvel. When I began to fear him I began to watch for vulnerable places in his makeup, but I've found precious few, I tell you?precious lew. You know I've seeu good society, if any Virginia woman has, nnd I'm going to tell you that I have never met a more polished man In all my life?no, sir, not in Richmond, nor Boston, nor Charleston. lie has actually made me blush with shamo. I remember once I disputed his word about one of Balzac's heroes,, only to have him prove that I was wrong a few minutes later In the nicest manner. "lie happened to be dining here, too, one night when Bishop Page stopped over with us on his way to Florida. There were several young men present. among them Tnrpley Dandrldge, who belongs to one of the very oldest [ families in Georgia and is considered I the enteh of the rnnntv Well ho out there like a stick in the cushion of his chair and let Mr. Buckley conduct tlio entire conversation with the bishop. Iu fact, Bishop Pnge simply directed most of his remarks to Mr. Buckley, and it really was an intellectual treat. He tripped the bishop up twice, and the old man flushed, but laughingly admitted he was wrong. He was most favorably impressed with Mr. Buckley, and. of course, I did not enter into awkward explanations. Yes, his manners could not be Improved. He must have associated with rcflned people when he was off at college. I shall i always say that the surest sign of a gentleman is for hhu to put his elbows on the dinner table without seeming to : do it. I don't say Mr. Buckley puts j his on, but he doesn't sit up like a j post and not know what to do with his | hands, as some men do. He acts, even t on occasions like that dinner, as if such j things were an everyday affair. The , maid. In passing around the table, awk wardly touched his elbow Just as he was about to drink from his glass of j I claret and shook some of the wine out I on my best cloth. Now, I once saw ' | the same thing happen to a man in ! Richmond, and ho promptly laid the j blame where it belonged, to acquit himself of appearing nwk\v?"il, but Mr. ? Buckley treated it with superb indif- j forence. lie was tolling some story, i and he did not even pause, but, taking I a salt cellar, he poured some of the j salt on the spot, and as he continued to talk he kept rubbing it in as if he hardly knew what he was doing. The salt saved the cloth from a bad stain, | and it was all done as a prince might have done It. "You know the negroes can never forgive the poor whites for rising Into prominence, and Milly, when she was clearing away the things from the table , that evening, called to ino. 'Come here,1 Miss Amy,' she said, with a sueer; j I 'everybody done lef' deir nankins on de ' tublc 'eept dat po* white trash, en he i lef' his in his chair.' Of course it was , a little thing and has 110 weight one | way or another; but, do you know, the next month when I was back in Rich- ; 1 mond, and your aunt Tilly had that : 1 young English lord to dinner, I watch-' | ed everything he did and noticed that ' he dropped his napkin in his chair' | when he left the table. 1 have since learned that it is quite customary over i 1 there. We don't do it, you know, but 1 really they would look nicer in the ; , j chairs than a lot of linen wads stuck ' about among the linger bowls and salad dishes. They would be less sug- J gestive of the lavatory of a crowded . 1 sleeping car early in the morning. 1 Kitty Cosby drew a full breath when ' | Mrs. Cranston paused. 1 j "And 011 top of all that you say he's ' ! good looking," she said, with a pretty 1 i smile. "Well, I'll tell you, you'd betI ter send me hack to Richmond. My j ( folks have certain vague mntrimoniul j plans for me. and I don't know whether j 1 : I'm safe here or not. I always did love j , to kick over the traces." j ! "Oh, do be sensible, Kitty!" "Well, you certainly have got trouble ' j ahead," said the girl, more seriously. ' \ "Kydia would hate to cause discord in ' | the family, I know, but nine girls out I ' j of ten would fall dend in love with that j sort of man under those circumstances, j ; and tliev would want to Mtinlr to him < I too." i "Oil, Kitty, how could we?how could we possibly write hack that our only 1 child whs to marry a man like that?

"Yes, and wo are now waiting for the lay of the hen." Onr Ancfttora. For the benefit of those who may feel "exclusive" or "stuck up," or who prate about blue blood, etc., It will be well to remember that if we go back btit twenty generations, or 700 years, each one of us has 1,084,570 ancestors und Is related more or less closely to at least 270,000,000 of our fellows. Going back but a couple of hundred years further and tracing down our genealogy, we would find that we have more cousins than there nre peoplo In the world and that on the basis of but two children per family. The discrepancy Is accounted for by the fact that there have been so many Intermarriages we have only us many cousins as there nre people In the world today, but are related to a great many many times over. A wise leader never tries to take his crowd the way It does not want to go. The Year For Democratic Victory. For All the News uf the Campaign Reiul The Journal.

Many a Union Household Will Find Them So, To have the pains and aches of a bad back-removed; to be entirely free frout annoying, dangerous urinary disorders is$mough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. To tell how this great change can be brought about will prove comforting words to hundreds of Union readers. W. H. T. James, of Chester, formerly in the grocery business, now retired, says: "I used Doan's Kidney Pills for my kidneys and back and was greatly benefitted thereby. I had suffered from backache and weakness across the loins for a long time and had found little, if any relief, until i got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills. I have not had backache since 1 used them, and they have given mo a great deal more strength. I am glad to recommend them." Plenty more proof liko this from Union people.
