something.
"Tandy?"-with visibly Frightening
atmosphere.
Royal laughed, and bore her off on his
shoulder to his own particular den.
Later he examined his letter There
were many closely written pages from
Mrs. Hart; but these he laid aside,
bouncing on little note Enclosed, the
first he had ever had from Phyllis. 1t
was a tiny sheet covered with dozen
lines or SO in pencil, and commenced
with quaint formality:
DEAR DR. RoyAI.-rhis is my first attempt al
writing for-I am afraid to say how many years
and am as proud as IA peacock to be allowed tc
write at all Have been promoted To goggling
blue glasses-very enjoyable. but hideouSy un
becoming, which at the present juncture is OF nc
earthly Importance. Write me long letter al
to myself | no longer need to borrow other
peoples eyes. And-come home soon to
PHYLLIS.
1t bore no faintest resemblance to
love letter, being precisely such note
as one cousin might write to another
cousin; but Royal could see no fault Ill
it. Even the formality of the opening
which he set down to cOyness-pleased
him, as investing him with his own
identity, as it were. 1t had always
grated on him to have her give him the
dead mans name.
He touched the note with his lips, as a
boy lover might have done, and slipped
it into his breast pocket. 1t crystalllzed
the purpose which had been held III so
linton for hours in his mind
Before he slept that night he wrote
long and loving letter to his wife, con
tanning a clear and manly statement OF
the whole affair, and ending with an
earnest entreaty for her forgiveness and
to be allowed an opportunity to win he1
love in return for the love with which
his own heart was filled.

something PERFECTLY atroclous!
ROYAL made testing reply and went
on his way insensibly cheered. MS SIS,
ter's confidence in his prowess ana EOou
fortune inspirited him and caused ms
natural buovancy to reassert itself -
tborouphly did self confidence return
indeed, that during few hours ue'e,,
ton in st. Louis lie provided liilllSelI
with a pretty moss agate pm Tor MIS-
Hart and n diamond ring and bracelet
for Phyllis.
During the journey eastward hoyal
conceived, elaborated and discarded SO
MANY interviews with his wife, ana OF
such diverse forms and endings, that his
imagination developed rapidly under the
exercise. Had he been called on at any
moment he could have furnished dozen
thrilling and impossible situations ana
still have had power remaining TO evolve
others-b-and new and infinitely more
complicated. And, as events IN TINS HE
rarely Justify anticipations, not single
one of the predicted situations at all tit
ted the reality.
An hour after his arrival in AleXan-
dria ROYAL left the hotel and proceeded
to Mrs. Harris house with the avowed IN
tention of demanding an interview with
that genial lady and, from her. ascer-
tanning how the land lay. So filled wac
he with this scheme-which appeared tC
him neat-that when the servant, III re-
Spouse to his inquiry, informed him that
Mrs. Hart had gone over to Washington
and would not return until the after
noon he feit as nonplussed as though he
had led an ace and had it trumped in the
first round.
"Was Mrs.. Royal in?'
The servant thought not, but would &C
and see. Then she ushered him into the
parlOr and retired with a grinning coun-
tenance. She had had substantial cause
to regard DR.. Royal with favor during
his former visit.
Royal moved restlessly about the room
1t was full of signs of feminine occupancy

an open piano with a lace handkerchief
on the keys, fancy work basket heaped
with scraps Of silk and ribbon, and dolls

ROYAL waited week before starting
east to give his letter time to reach his
wife and be somewhat digested ere she
should see him, and also in order to make
the business arrangements necessary for
an absence of uncertain duration. The
time now appointed for the settlement
of Miss Royals estate was the October
term of circuit court for the district
wherein was situated her landed prop
erty. 1t was now nearing the end of
September, and Royal wished a short
time to himself for consultation with
his wife. He had determined to be
guided entirely by her wishes in the
matter, feeling that she had been drawn
into false position, and that choice OF
a mode of extricatiOn was her right. If
she should decide on divorcing the living
man for the sake of the dead man he
would place no impediments in her way.
But, while he formed this resolution
with all stoutness, Royal was conscious
of an ache at his heart which was ear
nest of what the wrench would be should
Phyllis decide to break the bond between
them.
You'll be bringing wife home with
you, Hart perhaps" his sister suggested
with smile, as he kissed her good-by.
Tin not SO sure about that as I'd like
to be, Madge," Royal responded ruefully.
"The balance is about even. | shall try

You'll succeed, too, if you try in the

of success is to believe in your own abil

a good one. Say will and then do. II
you love her truly and want her, tell her
so as strongly as you can, and don't
listen to word against it, That's the
way to manage women. Be masterful
through earnest loving"
"That sounds forcible," Royal al,
mitted. "Let me in, my love, or I'll pull
the place about your ears, is as good
screed of doctrine as any other in ordinary
cases. In this, however. am at a dis
advantage and can't exactly avail myself

Whining Children.

DR.. Mary Wood Allen writing in
Womankind of breaking children OF
the habit of whin ming says: "In this
case, I should say that the first thing
to do is to secure the cordial co-opera-
ton of every other adult member of
the family. Let there be united pur-
pose never to give to the child that for
which he whines, even if it would be
given him otherwise. Give him to
understand this in a firm but gentle
way, and if possible secure his approx
al of the idea. Tell him kindly of the
evil of the habit, the unhappiness it
causes him and every one else, show
him that it is creating a habit for the
future years and tell him you are go
ing to help him to overcome it. Let
him feel that your refusal to grant
his whining requests are to aid him,
not to punish him. Then steadily,
persistently, sweetly and firmly adhere
to this policy. Never once yield to
his insistence, but ALWAYS recognize
his attempt to meet your wishes In a
pleasant manner. If the thing he
wants is something he should not
have, tell him so, and assure him that
no amount of whining will secure it,
and then let him whine. Wait, don't
scold, don't tantalize, don't appear to
be either disturbed or moved by his
whining. If what he desires is some
thing he can have, and he whines for
it, assure him that as soon as he asks
pleasantly he can have it, and then
give him time to make up his mind to
be pleasant. We are too apt to drive
our children rapidly from one frame
of mind to another. Wait patiently,
and if possible help him by diverting
his thoughts to something agreeable.
In a few minutes he will propably get
control of himself. It is often a very
touching sight to witness the efforts OF
children to gain self-control, some
times under the stings of the tantaliz-
ing reproaches of their elders.

State. which terms shall indicate
marsh and tidewater lands, but not
the phosphate royalty or phosphate
deposits, and all the income to be de-
rived from said lands by leasing them
shall be set apart and be and remain
forever perpetual school FUND, for
the support of the public schools OF
this State. All funds to be derived
from the sale of aforesaid lands, if the
general assembly should ever deem it
advantageous to sell the same, shall be
securely invested and the interest
therefrom alone shall be appropriated.
On this section Mr.. Smoak, of Or
angeburg, made quite a lengthy
speech in opposition.
ABOUT BOOKS.
Mr.. Behre offered the following:
Section 13. The general assembly
shall provide for the selection and
purchase of such books, maps and
charts as may be necessary for the use
of the pupils attending the public
schools and for the care and disposi-
ton of same: Provided, That payment
for the same may be made from the
school fund herein provided. .
MIR. Behre said that the children in
Abbeville and Oconee save at least IS
per cent. in the cost of the books.
With the three-mil tax we could keep
the schools open for seven months,
and unless we make provision for
these books we would have many of
our boys growing up uneducated. In
my county one-half of the parents
were unable to buy books. If we are
going to have a free school, let us
make it so broad that it will cost the
people nothing.
The section was rejected-69 to 42.
THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Mr.. Mitchell offered the following
substitute for section a, which was
adopted.
Sec. 4. There shall be a State board
of education composed of the COVER
nor, the State superintendent OF edu-
cation and four persons to be appoint
ed by the governor every four years.
of which board the governor shall be
chairman and the State superintend-
ent of education secretary. This
board shall have the regulation of the
examination of teachers applying for
certificates of qualification and shall
award all scholarships and have such
other powers and duties as may be de-
termined BY law. The compensation
and travelling expenses for the four
persons to be appointed to be fixed by
the general assembly.
The whole article was passed to a
third reading then.
It was decided that the per diem or,
dinance should be taken up and con-
sidered at the night session.
The convention then took recess.
