Persons who are interested in the kindergarten and the school of ex : pression for the coming year are ask- ] ed to get in touch with Mr. Blanks, who is considering continuing this work again this year. A number of mothers have already inquired about the kindergarten, it is said.

Weather reports from Washington still insist that much cooler weather is coming to North Carolina this week. Alabama was struck by a cold wave Saturday, but from that state the cool i ness seems to have vanished for it never reached North Carolina.

Williams, who lives six miles southeast of Monroe on the Belk Mill road, and one day last week he picked 220 pounds. Not so much, do you say? But Mr. Williams is a one-armed mail, and those who have seen him pick cotton say he is a wonder, pnd can do as much work in a day at the average worker with two ha ads. Mr. Williams’ little nine-year-old nephew Faison Williams, of Pnion ville. son of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Williams, spent last week with him and helped pick cotton on his uncle’s farm. One day tbe little fellow picked 204 pounds. C. C. Williams is a good farmer, and despite his handicap has made • good crop and is not .complaining of weather conditions. Post and Flagg’s Cotton Letter. New York, Sept. 14.—The market has again shown great strength and has absorbed realising and hedge sell ing with ease. New buying from both trade and speculative sources has has been encouraged by an increasing number of reports of crop deteriora tion due to excessive rains iu the belt. Drygoods advices are also very encouraging and there is apparently an almost insatiable demand for cot ton goods. The market, however, has had an almost uninterrupted advance and while sentiment on the floor is ex tremely bullish caution on the long side of the market would appear ad visable for the moment as a reaction of some sort is due shortly. Tost and flagg. George Gibson, the new manager of the Chicago Cuba tells this story, , There was an ox and a mule that worked side by side in the field. One I day the ox shammed sickness and! was permited to remain in its stall. Tbe mule went to work manfully and I when he returned was laughed at by! the fi. The next*day 'twas tbe sake. I The ox again renigged, but the mule f went to work. This time when the! : mule returned the ox asked whether! > tbe master said anything. “Said noth t ing to me,’’ declared the mule, “but| 1 ' UP thebuh,h * r -< . we leiepnona. t 1 fc.Vik • fit jpnnO 8 hjblishod by Arrangement with First National Picture*, and Fran! | Lloyd Production*, Inc. CHAPTER I With an ostentatious flourish Mr. Lucky” Broad placed a crisp ten iollar bill in an eager palm ont tretched across his folding-table. “The gentleman wins ana the gam ier loses!” Mr. Broad proclaimed o the world. “The eye is quicker ban the hand, and the dealer’s iioans is music to the stranger’s ar.” With practised touch he rear anged the three worn walnut-shells vhich constituted his stock in trade Beneath one of them he deftly con cealed a pellet about the size of a Sve-graLi allopathic pill. It was the erratic behavior of this tiny ball, its mysteric.us comings and goings, that iad summoned Mr. Broad's audience ind now held its observant interest. This audience, composed of roughly dressed men, listened attentively to (he seductive monologue which ac companied the dealer’s deft manipu lations, and was greatly entertained (hereby. “Three tiny tepees in a row and a little black medicine-man inside.” The speaker’s voice was high-pitched and it carried like a ‘‘thirty-thirty.” "You see him walk b, you open the door, and—you double your money. Awfully simple! Simpully awful! What? As I live! The gentleman wins ten pore—ten silver-tongued song-birds, (en messengers of mirth—the price of i hard day’s toil. Take it, sir, and nay it make a better and a stronger nan of you. Times are good and I spend my money free. I made it lackin’ grub to Lmderman, four bits pound, but—easy come, easy go. sow then, who’s next? You’ve seen ic work. I couldn't baffle a sore kyed Siwash with snow-glasses.” Lucky Broad’s three-legged table rtood among some stumps beside the buddy roadway which did service as (he main street of Dyea and along which flowed an irregular stream of pedestrians; incidental to his prac tised manipulation of the polished walnut-shells he -maintained an un teasing chatter of the sort above set down. Now his voice was loud and rnailenging, now it was apologetic, always it stimulated curiosity. One moment he was jubilant and gay, igam ne was contrite and querulous. Occasionally he burst forth into plaintive self-denunciations. Fixing a hypnotic gaze upon a (■land, blue-eyed bystander who had lust joined the charmed circle, he murmfired, invitingly: “Better try (our luck, Olaf. It’s Danish dice— three diances to win and one to lose.” The object of his addVcss shook bis head. “Aye ant Danish, Aye ban Norvegen,”»said he. “Danish dice or Norwegian poker, (hev’re both the same. I'll deal you t free hand ar.d it won’t cost you a lent. Fix your baby blues on the little ball and watch me close. Don't let me deceive you. Now then, which but hides the grain?” Noting a half-dozen pairs of eyes #pon him, the Norseman became jonscious that he was a center of pterest. He grinned half-heartedly ind, after a brief hesitation, thrust forth a clumsy pa\v, lifted a shell, ind exposed the object of general ■riosity. “You guessed it!” There was commendation, there was pleased lurprise, in Mr. Broad’s tone. "You lan't fool a foreigner, can you, soys! My, my! Ain’t it lucky for ne that we played for fun ? But you tot to give me another chance, pars; I’ll fool you yet. In walks (he jittle pill once more, I make the nagic pass, and you follow me at tentively, knowing in your heart of pearts that I’m a slick un. Now ihen, shoot. Kid; you can’t miss net” 'Fix your baby bluet on the little kail and watch me close." The onlookers stirred with inter-1 eat; with eager fingers the artless Norwegian fumbled in his pocket. At the last moment, however, he nought better of his impulse, once, then turned his back table and walked away. "Missed him 1” murmured the dealer, with no display of feeling; seen to the group around him he an nounced, shamelessly: “You got to Ind those birds; they fly fast." One of Mr. Broad's boosters, he «Ao had twice won for the Norse awn’s benefit, carelessly returned his winnings. "Sure!" he agreed. “They yt a "head like a turtle, them Mr. Broad carefully smoothed out "|S E? to set your hook or it won’t Strogoffs ia hep to the old ftufi. Lucky. I’m thinking of joining thg big rush. They say this Klondike is some rich." Inasmuch at there were no stran gers in sight at the moment, th* proprietor of the deadfall gave up barking; he daintily folded and tort ■ in halt a cigarette paper, out el which he fasnfcned a thin smoke foi \ himself. It was that well-earned ■ moment of repose, that welcome re* ' cess from the day’s toil. Mr. Broad inhaled deply, then he turned his eyes upon the former speaker. “You’ve been thinking again, hay* you?”' He frowned darkly. With a note of warning in his voice he de clared: “You ain’t strong enough for such heavy work, Kid. That’S ■ why I’ve got you packing hay.” The object of this sarcasm hitched \ his shoulders and the movement showed that his burden was indeed ’ no more than a cunning counterfeit, a bundle of hay rolled inside a tarpaulin. “Oh, I got a head and I’ve been ■ doing some heavy thinking with it, 1 * 1 the Kid retorted. “This here Daw son is going to be a good town. ® I’m getting readied up to join th* to parade.” “Are you, now?” the shell-man mocked. “I s’pose you got it all framed with the Canucks to let you through ? I s’pose the chief of police knows you and likes you, eh? You and him is cousins, or some thing ?” “Coppers is all alike; there’s al ways away to square ’em—” . ‘ "Lay off that ‘squaring" stuff,” cau- j tioned a renegade crook, disguised 1 j by a suit of mackinaws and a week’s ! i growth of beard into the likeness of i j a stampeder. “A thousand bucks and a ton of grub, that’s what the sign says, and that’s what it means. They | wouldn’t let you over the Line with i nine hundred and ninety-nine fiftir.” \ j "Right!” agreed a third capper. “It’s j a closed season bn broken stiffs Y’ou can’t monkey with the Mounted q Police. When they put over an edid it lays there till it freezes. They'D ~ make you show your ‘openers’ at th* a Boundary. Gee! If I had 'em I £ wouldn’t bother to go ‘inside’ {- What’s a guy want with more than K a thousand dollars and a ton of £ grub, anyhow?" "All the same. I’m about set te £ hit the trail,” stubbornly maintained jf the man with the alfalfa pack, “I f ain’t broke. When you boys get to F Dawson, just ask for Kid Bridgw £ saloon and I'll open wine. The** fe woollys can have their mines; m* 15 for a hootch-mill on Main Street. 4 L Lucky addressed his bevy of r boosters. “Have I nursed a serpent | in my breast, or has the Kid met a 1 banker’s son? Gimme room, boys j I'm going to shuffle the shells fo* j him and let him double his money, j Keep your eye on the magic pea, Mr. Bridges. Three tiny tepees in j a row— ’’ There was a general j laugh as Broad began to shift thi 1 walnut-shells, but Kid Bridges ro- j torted, contemptuously; “That’s the trouble with all yon wiseacres. You get a dollar ahead and you fall for another man's M game. I jtever knew a faro-dealet H that wouldn't shoot craps. No, 1 p haven’t met no banker’s son and I n ain’t likely to in this place. These Q pilgrims have sewed their money in 'j their underclothes, and they sleep with their eyes open. Seems like - they’d go blind, but they don’t These ain't Rubes, Lucky; they’re city folks. \ j They’ve seen three-ringed circuses ■ J and three-shell games, and all that 1 j farmer stuf. They’ve been ‘gypped,’ J and it's an old story to ’em.” “You’re dead right,” Broad ac- 1 knowledged. “That’s why it’s good. ! D’you know the best town in J America for the shells? Little old New York. If the cops would let me set up at the corner of Broad and Wall, I’d own the Stock Ex- J change in a week. Madison and ’ State is another good stand; so’t - Market and Kearney, or Pioneer Square, down by the totem pole J New York, Chicago, 'Frisco, Seattle; t they’re all hick towns.

Say, | Kid, if you mush over to Tagish f with that load of timothy on your E spine, the police will put you on I tne wood-pile for the winter.” | While Mr. Lucky Broad and his | business associates were thus busied | in discussing the latest decree of the | Northwest Mounted Police, oth«S I townsmen of theirs were similarly engaged Details of this proclama tion—the most arbitrary of any, hith erto—had just arrived from the In ternational Boundary, and had caused a halt, an eddy, in the stream of gold-seekers which flowed inland toward the CMlkodt Pass. A human tide was setting north ward from the States, a tide which I swelled and quickened daily as th* ] news of George Carmack’s discov ery spread across the World, but al Healy & Wilson’s log-store, where the notice above referred to had ; been posted, the stream slowed.
