Marjorie looked at him a moment.
Sunday morning the railroad had fin
ished its use OF the wires, and newspa-
per men came into Orleans from all di-
rections. A message to her brother re-
lieved Marj0rie's mind of anxiety and
left her free to do her novel work with
light heart. Most of the work was
done for her, for the reporters, divid-
ing up among themselves, met later
and exchanged news a i'd, coming to
interview Marjorie, gave her all they
had in return for the personal news
she could give to them.
That afternoon, after she had sent
her STORY" by telephone, Marjorie told
Mr.. Hicks of her errand to West Ca.
qua.
"Poor Sanders was going to West
Capua," said Mr.. Hicks. evil you
take his place? If you will, go on by
train tonight" And he proceeded to
give Instructions
"That's my case" said Marjorie.
Its cause celebre," replied Mr.
Hicks. 'You ought to write about it
from knowledge if it's your case. Now
pay attention. The express doesn't
connect for West Capua Monday MORN
ings. That's why we sent poor San

jorie. Cant you telegraph it to Pal

had showed very little spare cash.
'Pll telegraph for carriage at Pal

Mr.. Hicks, and SO the long range talk
ended.
Three days later Marjorie sent in her
name to Mr.. Hicks This time he greet
ed her warmly.

CONCERT AT TUSCALOOSA.
Entrancing Music Rendered by MT.
 and Mrs. Bennett Griffin

Tuscaloosa April 5.-(Special. )-The concert given last night at Elks Hall by MT. and Mrs. Bennett Griffin of Mont- gomery under the auspices of the Daughters Of the Confederacy was largely representative of the culture and musical appreciation of Tuscalosa. The appear ance of these artists marks an epoch in musical history of this educational center. It was a rare privilege for a Tuscaloosa audience to enjoy the opportunity of hearing a singer of international reputa- ton as is Mrs. Minnie Fish-Griffln. The naturaIness of her interpretation and the distinctness of her enunciation were the elements in her singing which especially appealed to her listeners.
 Mrs. Griffin in response to an enthu- siastic and imperative encore sang a dainty ballad to her own accompaniment. In this number she presented picture which delighted the eye while her sing ing charmed the soul. MT. Griffin in his violin numbers bewitched the audience. His playing of the Faust Fantasie" was brilliant and soulful in the extreme. One could almost fancy the Various scenes of the opera and it's characters. were really being enacted. In. response to several demands for encores, MT. Grif- fin gracously responded with dainty selections which were extremely pleasing. Miss Hodge of Montgomery was the as- sistng accompanst.
