LULA HURST MOVES A TBkiN.

Tom Burney came in Saturday

The other day Miss Lula Hurst
was on Conductor Allie Shell.
mans train ON the Southwestern
railroad, and on the train was q
man who attended Miss Lnla's
p rformsnce in Eufaula the nigh
before, and who was exceedingly
skepticai. He said he tsas salts
fed that the secret of her perform
ances was simply muscular pow
or, and that she was fortunate
enough to possess just little
| more muscular strength than any
ordinary man. AS none of his
fellsw passengers were able to
give any lucid explanation OF the
wonderful Georgia girls powers.
The Eufaula man had the best of
the argument until Conductor
Shellman came along. The sub
ject was again brought up, and
the clever prince of the bell line
said:
Il can prove to you beyond all
question that it is not muscular
power, but personal magnetiam.'
personal magnetism be blow
ed," remarked the Eufaula man.
"Well," continued the oonduc-
tor, I'VE are now climbing the hill
at Hatcher's Station, the, steepest
grade on the road. Just before
we reached the hill l told the en-
gineer to shut of Rll steam and re-
verse his engine. l then request
ed Miss Lula TO place her hands
ON the back of the seat in front of
her. She did SO, and she is carry
ing us up the hill as well as the
engine could. Come back and see
for yourself"
The Eufaula man never doubt
ell what the conductor said, but it
was long tirae before he could
make out what personal magnetism
really meant. He was silent all
the way to Macon, and wore the
air of man who had got the
worst Of an argument and was
convinced against his will.

Who was it that asked: care
there no Underwriters for human

he was the husband Of another.
But there was thankfnlnsss, too,
that her engagement was only
known to her mother and sister,
that If she must suffer this pain,
almost Ike the bitterness of death,
at least no one would look with
scornful, pitying eyes upon her.
She met George Eustase in So
ciety often during his visit TO his
mother--met him with his bride
beside him, fragile, lovely girl.
Lucia congratulated them, and
bore herself toward them as the
| same pleasant, well-brsd lady that
shs was to other acquaintances.
Outwardly she was unchanged
but she suffered in the silent hours
OF the night, when she listened to
the wind, or looked out upon the
stars alone. Memory too faith
fully brought back the past, and
the image of one who had been
so tickle, SO false 10 her.
George Eustace took his wife
south again, and went to live near
his wlfe's relatives, and Lusia's
life settled down into quiet again,
and she struggled bravely for
cheerfulness.

"Now, Luce, you know l did

my nonsense. Where's mamma?
I'm going to find her"
Lucia sat still where Jennie had
