occupied their minds and talents
in the noble efforts of self-im-

s, G. C. L. STUDENTS.

When Prof. F. N. K. Bailey de-
cided to locate the S. G. c. [. in
our midst every one hailed the all
nouncement with delight. 1t was
expected to do much good III many
ways to the town and county of
|Edgefeld. But the school has sur
passed our most sanguine expecta-
tions. Much might be said about
the various departments of the
school-the faithfulness of the
teachers, the great attachment
which the students have for Prof.
Bailey. But I desire to refer es-
pecially to the admirable conduct
of the students since their sojourn
in our midst.
The girls and young ladies were
all expected to behave with that
elegant grace, which has ever char
acterized our Southern women. No
part of this great Union can fur
nish, as a class, 30 pure, refined,
and modest women as live in our
Sunny Southland the dear girls
of the S. G. C. 1. have portrayed,
in letters of living light, the at
tractive virtues and modest man
ners of the best of their sex.
But it is as to the young gentle
men of the S. C. c. 1. that 1 wish
to speak more particularly. Boys
are not usually noted for special
qualities of gentleness when about
grown, and thrown together. "Boys
will be boys" is an old saying.
But 1 only voice the often express
ed sentiments of the town when |
remark that the conduct of the
boys and young gentlemen, who
have had their domicile in the
buildings of the S. &C. I. has been
extremely praiseworthy. [ have
not heard of a single difficulty any
of them have had, either among
themselves or with any one out
side the Institute. Their aeport-
ment on the streets has always
been that of the Southern gentle
man-ever polite, neat and affable
and I have neither seen nor
heard of any one of them being
the least intoxicated, neither have
I ever heard of any nocturnal
carousals which young men sone
times indulge in. [ am free to ad-
NIT that the very watchful discip-
lime of the alert President and his
able assistants has something to
do with their behavior. But l be-
lieve the boys themselves, both
the boarding and day students, are
entitled to high encomium for
their quiet and gentlemanly de-
meanor during their stay here.
I have been about their quarters
considerably, both in day time and
at night 1t has been pleasure
to me loft in the Silly night" to
stand out in front of the large
building, with its multitude of
bright windows, and see how peace
full and orderly all seemed within.
And now that they are so soon to
depart-and the lights soon to be
put out, for season, at the win
dows, we want them to know and
feel that their good manners were
appreciated. They have set an
le1ample worthy of limitation in

CHAPTER TX.

Anthony walked over from Manor Holt as
soon as the early breakfast Mr.. Dangerfeld
had ordered was over He felt sick at heart
for the sight of Jasper Mannering's misery
grieved him. Finding the servants still in
bed, and the policeman and the footman still
heavily snoring, he and Mr.. Dangerfield had
seized the opportunity to return to Jasper
with food and many little matters to make
slipped quietly to his bedroom, but sleep was
out Of the question. Morning dawned chill
and grey before he could arrive at any de-
cisive course of action. The circumstantial
evidence against Jasper was so deadly that
he felt sure he would be unwse to surrender
to the police. But how were they to keep
him hid?-how were they to provide him with
food and comfort without suspicion being di-
reoted to his hiding place? However, An
thony determined to find new place for Jas
per. despite the risk of discovery.
Having come to this conclusion, it was
with a feeling of relief that he turned his
thoughts and his feet homeward towards his
mother and Miss Joel, whose wits he knew
would devise some plan. Arrived there he
turned to the side entrance, but as he opened
the conservatory door he heard someone in
the room beyond playing the piano. and rec
ognized the melody even before the low
laughing voice began to sing the words of
the old ballad of "Greensleeves." 1t was
Veronica, who sang from mere Eghtness of
heart the shadow of her brothers trouble
not yet having reached her. Regarding her
from the doorway, Anthony prayed fervently
that it never might. She rose, unaccount-
ably affected by the magnetism of his glance
although she not aware he was there
Something in his eyes as they met hers
frightened her with strange sweet fear
She began to tremble, and rested one hand
against the piano for support. Sir Anthony
was trembling also he advanced and took
her hand and bowed over it, for though he
loved her deeply, he felt so unworthy of her
that to tell her of his love seemed almost
profanity to him. But with the clasp of her
small trembling fingers new life seemed to
come.
ate]y: how much 1 love you! To have
known you is the greatest blessing 1 have
had in all my life. Can you care a little for
me? All, you do not know how much l love
you'll" His burning eyes, fixed so ardently on
her sweet shy face. spoke for him, and she
