Singular, but the order itself was singular and did nothing after conventional Hues, Theso would be sent tho marked man at intenals and no word to accompany them. If ho wero residing In tho bouth during thoso troublosomo days, ho would know tho significance of thoso mysterious, mys-terious, but soemlugly harmless peas and If ho wero guilty of a misdeed against either tho caubo of tho south, and of Its traditions or tho silent, deadly band who thus remembered him, bis days wero surely numbered and thero was no escape from their vengeance but by death at hU own UuttJ and seldom wan there that. intgi bret-e the an f tho organization for fear his nearest j neighbor might belong to it nnd many a man suddenly disappeared because of unguardedly making a careless remark re-mark about the Ku Klux Klan. j When first hastily gotten together, ' It Is said, these modern knights enrolled en-rolled the best and noblest blood In' the Old South, but after their specific specif-ic mission was completed nnd n stable sta-ble law regulated tho rights of the southern people, their services were no longer required nnd thoy disbanded, disband-ed, when tho hoodlums and desperate desper-ate characters ot tho land took up the order and used It to cover their own deeds, thus bringing down on ' the name of tho "Clnndsmen" tho odious reputation they have ever' since borne. I Many blood curdling tales wero told of their doings and secret and deadly workings.
