A Schem e
That Failed
BY MARTHA NORRIS.

" I M QUITE too delighted to see you,
DEAR" exclaimed Mrs. Violet
Grant, as she clasped her cousins
hands in warm welcome, "and, Of
course, you know that it's to be quite
the biggest ball of the year - and,
really, dear, balls are quite too de-
hghtfully new and fresh to me. They
hold some wonderful fascination for
me which it is impossible to explain"
eyes, of course, understand" re-
turned Veronica, the blase city cousin,
and she let her big, blue, handsome
eyes travel leisurely over Violet, you
are young and everything is new to you
-glitters, as il were, but really 1t
seems scarcely credible that but a
few months ago you were in the
land of arithmetic and geography and
now you are 'out'-and quite the rage.
I hear"
Violet laughed lightly and her color
came and went quickly.
Great indeed were the changes that
had taken place "just a few months
ago." for during that time Violet had
grown into an immensely pretty and
graceful girl. There was sweet, re-
freshing simplicity, a charming win
someness of manner which the world
ly-wise Veronica foresaw would inevi-
tably prove fatal to mankind as a
whole.
She frowned and instinctively felt
that this young cousin of hers might
possibly prove to be somewhat dam
gerous rival. Only year and a half
previously Veronica had scofed ait the
proposal of a penniless, though ex-
ceedingly devoted, cavalier, and haugh-
tily refused to even "hear him out,"
and had finally swept from his pres
ence with the regal air of a queen,
demanding that no further attempt
should be made to address her on that
subject.
But it is the unexpected that inevi-
tably happens, and it certainly oc-
Cured in this case, for through the
sudden death of wealthy uncle, a
railway king" Dudley Maitland had
succeeded to that personage's vast
possessions, and Veronica, reading the
turn events had taken, resolved if pos
sible to recover, by strategy if by no
other means, the ground she had lost.
Hence her visit to her aunt's country
house.
"You won't mind sharing my room,
will you, dear?" cried Violet, as the
little circle sat and chatted over their
afternoon cups of tea; "you see the
house is literally packed, and"
80, I sha'n't mind anything" replied
Veronica, deliberately, chat is, pro-
vided l have good time"

"Her beauty" said Veronica to her
self, eff I could mar that, not per-
manently, but just temporarily, to
prevent her from attending this ball.
What can-what can I do?"
She walked over to the looking
glass. She surveyed the accessories
on the dressing-table. A little acct
dent happens so easily, she mentally
concluded, and she lifted her head
with an air of superiority and self-sat-
isfaction Characteristic to her nature.
And later on, when Violet returned
to her room, she was delighted to find
her cousin looking so fresh and ra-
diant.
"What pretty hair you have, child"
remarked Veronica, later.
Violet only laughed
"Now, mine absolutely will not
wave" said Veronica, slowly, still re-
garding her cousin-"of course, 1 mean
not without recourse to pins and tongs,
etc. Naturally curly hair is indeed
something to be right down thank
full for"
"Is it, really?" asked Violet, laugh
ingly.
att is" And then both cousins
lapsed into silence.
Finally the time arrived for both
girls to retire for the purpose of lin
gering long over their respective tot
lets-a matter of the utmost impor-
lance.
Suddenly there was a loud shrek
of dismay, and violet's loneliness was
married.
She dashed into her mothers room
with eyes blinded with scalding tears.
"Look o, look!" she cried, scarce
ly knowing what she said. 81 sha'n't
be able to go to the BALI o, and I'm
dying to go! Did you ever see such
fright before? Veronica did it, but
it was quite an ACCIDENT Do not scold
her for it," seeing the look of dismay
on her mothers face; "she is as dis
tressed as I ann. o, but it does seem
hard; I shall be marked for weeks!"
"But however did it happen, dear?"
asked Mrs. Grant, as soon as she was
able to speak.
'"The tongs, DEAR" replied Violet,
still sobbing. "You see, she was do
ing her hair, and the hot tongs sprang
from her fingers and struck my facet
1t was purely an accident, but I am
so sorryl"
$50 am I, Wy" returned the elder
woman; $50 am l."
Apparently Veronica was terribly
concerned, but all her sympathy and
suggested remedies were of no avail.
Nothing could possibly erase the ugly
scar from Violet's cheek; and finally
it was declared that she must forego
the ball, great though the pain of
so doing would be.
"You can write Dudley little note,
my DEAR" said her mother, when she
and Violet were alone; shat will be
polite and polite. You must not let
him think you rude, and you know you
promised him the waltzes. Poor child!
I'm so sorryi"
The respective vehicles accordingly
arrived, and as Veronica kissed her
cousin goodnight she had never looked
more radiantly lovely. Gems of won
derful brilliancy glittered in her hair.
on her neck and arms. Her dress was
of some rich, soft, clinging material,
and she carried herself like queen
as ehe swept out of the room where
her cousin lay upon the bed bemoan-
ing the irony of fate.

Allured by the appealing eyes and
ooaxing words of his fair partner,
Dudley Maitland became the victim Of
the moment, and it was not long ere
he was escorting her away from the
throng of merry dancers into com
paratiye solitude.
"This is quite like old times" YER
onica said, as they entered the cool
conservatory and sat down.
"Not quite" replied Maitland, some
what absently. Indeed, times have
changed considerably since we last
met"
This was discordant note, and YER
onica did notfeel quite at her ease,
'I'm so glad you came tonight, Dud-
ley" she said; as though involuntary
breathing her thoughts aloud.
Maitland raised his eyebrows slight
ly, but she failed to notice the danger
signal.
"Why2" he asked, somewhat
brusqaely.
"How strangely you speak" she
returned, neryously, "but do you veal
" care to know?"

Violet had watched the several We
hicles drive away with eager and tear
full eyes. How she longed to be among
the merry throngl Finally she re-
solved to drown her heartache in the
pages of a novel.
But she could not fix her mind, try
as she would; so towards midnight she
again took up her stand by the win
dow and looked out into the dark and
starless night. Presently she turned,
for she fancied she heard football.
"Why, Dudley" she almost shrieked,
"you herel Whatever brings you at
this hour when you ought to be doing
duty to the people in general?"
81 wanted you" he replied, tenderly,
land you are more to me than all the
people in the world"
"But look at me-" she said, shyly; 81
do believe I am disfgured for life! Do
you not think SOP"
And for an answer she was clasped
in a warm embrace, and kisses were
showered upon her. And later, when
Maitland left her, there was new
and even softer expression in her eyes,
a brighter and more winsome express
sion about her mouth. Her heart was
happy, and she went up the old oaken
staircase humming the air of an old
love song.
"Have you enjoyed yourself, veron-
lea, dear?" exclaimed a voice, and a
curly head appeared above the bed
clothes.
Veronica was silent for time, her
heart beat too fast.
"There was no one in particular that
I wished to see,' she replied, finally.
dudley Maitland was there, but he
was infinitely disagreeable, and event
ually made himself conspicuous by his
absence"
violet's face became dyed with
bushes.

AN ELECTION WAS VOID
THE SUPREME COURT RULES
 AGAINST wooDLAwN.
Held That People of Municipality Were Not Given Opportunity to Express Preference Concern
 ing e Bond Issue.

The Supreme Court of Alabama yester- day declared that the city election held by the people of the town of Woodlawn several months ago for a S25 900 bond is- sue was illegal and unconstitutional.
 The opinion was rendered in the case of the Town of Woodlawn vs' J. A. Cain who. on behalf of tax payers of Wood lawn. attacked the validity of the bond issue, made as the result of the election.
 Mir. Cain contended that when the question of the bond issue was put before the people. the voters were compelled by the wording of the ticket, to vote for proposition which contained two alterna- lives. The voter. so MT. Cain contend ed. was not allowed to register his pref erence for either phase of the proposi- tion, but the City Council of Woodlawn made the choice. This, he contended, was illegal under the new Constitution and the Court sustained the contention.
 It was recited in the brief submitted by MT. Cain that the town of Woodlawn was in financial difficulties, that 1t was in debt and that the expenses of the town exceeded it's income. The Council decided on q bond issue of $25,0oo to pay off the pressing obligations. An issue of bonds previously made by Woodlawn had not been sold on account of the towns financial troubles.
 In that emergency the Council of Wood- lawn, it was said determined to take advantage of section 216 of the Constitu- ton which allows a municipality to as- sess an extra tax of one-half of per cent. It was the intention of the Coun- cil to pledge the revenue secured from this special or extra tax to the payment of the interest on the s25.o0o in bonds pro- vided the voters of the town authorized the issue. ...,. ...'
 It was contended in the brief of Mfr Gains attorneys that the question ad- dressed to the voters on tho official ticket was as follows: Shall the Board of AL dermen and Mayor be authorized to as- sess a special tax of one half of one per cent to pay interest on an issue of s25,ooo of bonds. or shall they be authorized 10 assess 80 much Of the tax of one halr of 1 per cent as will be necessary 10 pay the interest of s1.25o on the bondsT
 It was contended that the form Of the question gave the voter no opportunity of expressing his preference for either phase of the question.
 The style of the case was the town or woodlawn vs A. Cain and the decis- ion of the lower court was affirmed. The opinion was by Chief Justice McCletian'
