Millie Averted a Tragedy and Brought About Happiness. | By MARTHA M'C.-WILLIAMS. | "If Millie bad not worn her blue gbwn the story might have been different. Whether it was the color or the Auf of it or the way It clung to and molded ber slim suppleness nobody could say, but the fact was patent--sonmiebow it | transformed her from a very preity girl into an elfland queen. Millfe was, | you see, a Spanish blond, with velvet dark eyes and hair of thé palest gold. Small wooder in the blue gown she swept John Eustace off his feet aud | made him forget some things be ought { to bave remembered--his betrothed, | Alice Ellison, for example. Alice was as good as ber plentiful gold, but stubby, dull colored and on the surface dull witted. She was, above all' things, dutiful, Duty was, indeed, the early root of her love for Johu. If she had oot happened to be boru the Ellison fortune would have gone to John's father, Ellison Eustace. Her father had warried in a fit of pique when he was ob the edge of sev. enty." He lived to see his daughter ulae years old and to impress upon her that she must marry her second cousin and so keep the money io the Ellison blood. John, five years older than Alice, had accepted his fate philosophically. Un- tl chance flung Millie across Lis path he had never repined. An only child and .motheriess, he had grown up his father's intimate comrade. Thus, wo- men, especially young women, had nev- er worn for him the reseate glamour of unschooled youth, Still his father had by ho means tried to put an old head upon young shoulders nor to breed in' his son contempt for woman- kind. It was only that love and wom- en were pushed to the background, | reckoned mere episodes beside the rush | and. scurry of truly manly pursuits. | Marriage was honorable in al men: | marriage with Alice would be thrice | honorable, safe and profitable. Thus when she came to eighteen John had a | certain satisfaction in putting the ring upon her finger and even chafed a"lit- tle over the fact that by her father's express desire she was to Btay single until she was one and twenty. He honestly believed himself in love and truly felt for her a tender fond- ness that bad begun when, a sturdy little. lad, he had guided her tottering baby steps. He meant always to guide, | guard and cherish her as became. a gentleman, even though in his swelling visions of the future she was no more than_a dumb, submissive shade. If she would never be a brilliant figure. still less would she be one of whom a husband must needs be ashamed. In- deed, he was altogether a little more than content with the ordering of things until six months before his wed. ding day he came under Millie's spell He saw her first upon a spring morn- ing full of bot, shining and languid ruffling airs. Dew still sparkled on the grass, and overhead in the green gold of new leafage robins fluted delicately the joy of life aud love. To his en- chanted eyes Millie embodied the shin- ing, the bird song. the softness of the south wind, the warmth of the sun. What they said is immaterial. For txgo hours they walked together over the ragged lawn turf or stood in rapt contemplation of newly open roses. And then in a safe seclusion of green- est shade he drew ber within his arms and kissed ber, not lightly, but as one who takes what is supremely his own. Then followed a heavenly fortnight. Eustace masterfully pushed out of his mind all thought that might mar this i new bliss. He rarely spoke of his love and after that first kiss was sparing of demonstration. Te Was no neéd of it when each understood so perfect- ly what was in the other's heart. Yet at the end of every day's comradery Eustace had a sense of something fm- pending ever drawing nearpr. He re- | fused to let himself look further than called to pay a bitter scot. His chiefest care was for Mijlie. No harm must touch her, however it fared with him: She was so young, so in- nocently gay, so innocently foolish, he was doubly bound to protect her, even himself. It was heaven to see clicking of 'pistol locks. Intuitively she understood--he had' stfolled over to the Country club, picked a quarrel with Bustace and would have him out at daybreak next morning. 'No thought .of appeal to him stirred {40 ber. Instend there came a firm de termination matching Lis own. , She knew her name had vot been mention- &d fo the quarrel quite as well as she knew herself its real root. The men must not fight. Shé could not have her brother's blood upon her con science, Still less ber lover's: There was but ove way fo stop them. a way bitterer than death. Still, she set her feet toward it unfaltering. She got up and sat by the window, watching with noteless eyes the wheel ing stars, the waning moonlight. But at the first palesdiwn light she was tensely alive. Below she heard a stealthy stir, the cautious opening of a door, with muffled voices and eau- tious steps outside.' She got up aud crept to her brother's room, Lighted candles still glittered there. Upon the table there was a brief will. the mk | not dry in the. heavily scrawled signa- ture. Beside it was a briefer state meant: "Let it be understood of all men it I die 1 shall have died in an man's quarrel, founded ou no personal grudge. but rescnting unjust aspersions upon my native state." She almost smiled over it. The pative state counted to Joe for So very little in the ordinary course of life, Twenty minutes later, just as the sun peeped over rimming trees. she came out in a little clearing upon a wooded hilltop and saw two mien standing weapon in hand. face to face, ten yards apart. Three other men a | little way off had scared; white faces, but neither combatant had lost whole some color. Millie sprang between them, white as a dawn wraith, but with eyes like glowing coals. She flung up her arms and said clearly: "Fire, gentlemen! If anybody de- serves death | do!" "Millie, go back!" Joe Cantrell thun- dered. Eustace dropped his pistol and leaped to the girl's side. In ber ear he whispered brokenly: "Darling, let him kill me. It is the best way out of it all." THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1914. Millie shrank from him a little. "There is 06 need for bloodshed," she said. Then, raisiog her voice so the seconds could hear: "I call all hefe to witness that I have not been deceived. I knew at the very first of John Eus- wrong to anybody. We--we love each other because we cannot help it. Oh, it is bard that my own brother brings me to such open shame!" "Come home," Cantrell said roughly, flinging away his pistol and clutching her arm. Eustace caught the other hand, saying: "Stay with me, Millie! The whele world may go if I have you!" . "Goodby," Millie said, drawing away her hand. "1 shall love you always, John, but your wife need not be Jeal- ous." . * . - > » - By the strange orderings of fate that was a true word.' John Eustace went .straight to Alice and told her all the truth. She gave him back his free- dom and would have given him half her money only he would not have it. But he could not perstade Millie to marry him until Joe, the masterful, bad wooed and won Alice Ellison und her fortune, : ; Blind Tom. ' Blind Tom was born near the city of Columbus, Ga., of slave parents about the yedr 1846. He belonged to General | James N. Bethune, at that time editor and proprietor of the Cornerstone Being blind, Tom would stray away from home and was often found in the woods, roaming around and listening to the birds. Jt was in his whistling imitations of the bird songs that his wonderful musical ability was first re- vealed to his master. He could re- peat perfectly anything that he heard In the line of music. A# 10 his idiocy, it is generally understood that, his musical ability aside, he was very near being a "natural."
