tism that followed with more compo-
sure than usual. She even smiled
little as abe went down to the village
after the evening mail.
But her eyes filed as she thought Of
the afternoon. She knew she could
play on the big organ after a weeks
practice. She had done it before for
the Sunday school. She would do 1t
just because Mr. Warde'had asked her.
She gave scared start. A black coat
ed figure had stopped before her.

Warde's kind eyes pretended not to
see the tears in Ovens. II want to
ask you when you will come over to
practice" he went on, quite as If it
were settled thing.
81 knew that you could play. l have
heard you often as passed the house."
he explained when she looked at him
bewildered. "You will not fail me,
will your" he asked, with an abrupt
earnestness that sent the ,blood flying
to Ovens pale cheeks. Because" he
added, at would be a great, a very
great, disappointment to me-"
NO" answered Gwen, scarcely real
izing what she said II promise to
come"
She only half heard what Mr.. Warde
was talking about as he walked back
with her. She was living In a dream.
But at the gate, as he turned to leave
her, she gasped, "Please don't tell them
that have promised" and was gone.
But, though she did not see 1t, Mr..
Warde looked after her as though he
understood.
Where are you going, Gwendolen?"
asked Harriet cheerfully. Gwen start
ed nervously and looked around. 1t
was O'Clock Monday afternoon as the
elder sister came suddenly into the hall
and met Gwen, who was hurrying to-
ward the front door In a suspiciously
silent manner.
T-Im going down town." answered
Gwen.
swell, wait and will go with you"
Gwen took great breath.
IL can't wait, Harriet I've an
engagement"
Harriet smiled. "An engagement,
eh?" She was always good naturally
indulgent of her sisters Childish
ways" "And 1t can't waltz
mo, 1t can't. I've promised Mr..
Warde that I'd be there at A."
"Mr. Wardei You've promised him?"
Harriet stared. What did this sudden
independence mean?
Harriet came close to the door. She
was large and fair and had a smiling
determination. Gwen did not look up.
She knew that one glance from those
large, light blue eyes would defeat her
bravest plans. Suddenly she flung up
her head, her eyes sparkling. 81 have
promised to help him. and am going
now" And, finging open the front
door, she rushed into Mr.. Warle's arms
as he walked up the steps.
"Oh, Mr.. Warder' she began.
"Why, Miss Gwen, what is this7" he
asked, with some alarm, for she was
sobbing Historically and clinging to his
sleeve.
At that moment he saw Harriet. In
stantly he turned and bent his head
close to Ovens, and, holding her hands
firmly In his, he said softly; Gwen, l
had not meant to ask you yet, but
Gwen. will you marry me some day!
Answer me, dear, before you look up,
and then we will go In together"
And low as her answer was he smiled
when he heard 1t.
Yes said Gwen, cliff Harriet will

She threw herself OH the bed aid
tried not to cry.
Harriet stood in the doorway, and
Gwen had Jumped to her feet.
"Gwendolen, Mr. Warde Is down
stairs, and he has asked for you"
HE probably wants me to go and
visit old women" said Gwen. 81 shan't.
I hate old women"
But Harriet had gone down stairs
again to talk to the young assistant.
Gwen followed slowly.
Francesca looked up first when Gwen
opened the parlor door.
Mr.. Wnrde has come to ask us all
to help with the services during Lent,
Gwendolen," she said brlskly. HE
wants us to sing In the volunteer
choir. told him you would like to
very much"
Gwen bit her lip and looked straight
ahead. <.,el
Mr.. Warde waited politely until
Francesca had finished, then he turned
to Gwen. You know l have charge Of
the Lenten services. and l want them

For moment there was a stunned
silence. while poor Ovens words rang
back to her shrilly.
But Mr.. Warde was smiling ut

His answer broke the spell. Fran
cesca and Harriet rose as one to pro-
test. "Why. Gwendolen. what a thing
to ask! OF course she couldn't, Mr..

Nonsense. child! OF course you
can't. She'll be very glad to sing with
US, Mr.. Warde." Harriet smiled for
all Of them, chiefly for Gwen, who had
shrunk into herself again.
Mr.. Warde looked at her keenly.

hand at parting. His eyes looked into

Eduaauion in the South.
TTTT

1T could not be called opposition
manifested in the South toward
the work of the Southern Educa-
ton Board appears pretty much
to have disappeared, says the New
York Times. What there was of
it was due, we think, mainly to
misunderstanding, OF failure to UNI
derstand, the purpose and meth
DDS of the board. This has been
dispelled, as the work has pro-
ceeded and the organization has
begun to show direct activity.
Probably the most effective infu-
ence in this direction was provided
at the great Summer School of the
South, held in Knoxville, Tenn.
Some 100 teachers and school Of
ficers, from every State in the
South, were assembled there, and
the plans of the Southern Educa-
ton Board were fully explained
and acutely discussed by Southern
men. The result was that "dec-
laration Of principles'' was unani
mously adopted, in perfect har
mony with the principles of the
board and including the following
statement:
We express our hearty appreci
alton Of the noble work of the
Southern and General Education
Boards, which by their earnest
sympathy and generous means
have made possible this great
Summer School of the South and
in numerous other ways are
strengthening the patriotic efforts
of the Southern people to improve
their educational conditions
The essential feature of the pei
lev in this declaration is thus ex
pressed:
We must recognize conditions
and frankly face them. We there
fore declare ourselves in favor OF a
public school system, State sup.
ported and State directed, in which
every child may have the open
door of opportunity.
What little indication of dlsar-
prevail there was in the South rose
from the Interpretation of this
clause. The reasoning that was
used seems to have been some
thing like this: "'The open door
of opportunity is to be for every
rhild.' That means black and
white alike, and the next step will
be to mixed schools, and so to So
,ial equality" OF course, the in
expectation is strained. 1t is the
opinion of these Southern teachers
hat all children should have the
opportunity for schools g, but not
necessarily for the same schooling

THE SEASONS MILLINERY.

In the millinery ohapes for early
Autumn, says the October Delineator,
the most conspicuous favorite is the
toque with low, circular crown and
brim turned up straight all around,
CT the same height ds the crown. The
Marquise or tricorne shapes will be
popular in felt and also in velvet and
beaver, and wings, breasts end POM
pons will be the trimmings chiefly
employed. The sweeping ostrich
plumes will be used to adorn dressy
hats, black and white being the usual
choice. Hats made entirely of shaded
Autumn leaves are especially suited
to the season.

Fraudulent Tree Agents.

For some time past agents represent

for North Carolina. | have in this office
a letter from the State Entomologist of
that State saying most emphatically that
he has not given this firm a certificate to
do business. Their trade is therefore
fraudulent, and the public is warned &C.
corlingly.
There IS another firm at Humboldt,
Tennessee, which has license both for its
own State, and for North Carolina, and
this is the Tennessee Nursery Company,

cept that they hold the certificate of their

The Evening Session.

At the opening of the evening session
Mr.. Carmack, (Tenn.), took the floor.
He said the debate had been carried Oh
nv the minority in the hope that the
bill would be purged Of its most OBJ
iactionable features. All nope of sub
~stantial amendment of the bill was now
abandoned.
He scoffed at Senator MCrgan,s theory
that the Filipino Insurgents We're the
..tools of wicked conspirators at Hong
Kong" saving that that was the dis
honored plea of despots, the plea of con-
quest and murder and robbery In all
ages. He proceeded in an exceedingly
sarcastic vein to reply to some of MI.
Morgan's arguments. He said he did not
know of a more dangerous doctrine than
that advanced by Mr.. Morgan, that the
army was more representative OF tne
people than Congress.
lie did not believe that the United
States had reached the stage of degen-
Grafton and decay when the custody of
its liberties rested in the array.
Mr.. Carmack referred to President
Roosevelt's Memorial Day address at
Arlington yesterday, saying that he judS-
ed from what the President had said
ABOUT lNncilluSS III tne SOuI1i that lIot
cry was to be the administrations fay-
orite ground of defense of its policy in
the Philippines. He had thought that the
| waving of the bloody shirt was an effort
to revive sectional hatred. But | admit
/ was mistaken" said he. 1.-The Repub-
licanS used to keep the Southern outrages
mill grinding, holding up our terrible
and bloody deeds to the eXecration Of
mankind. That was for political pur-
poses. Now they are seeking to excuse
their policy in the Philippines. The
President gives the cue. He says it is
the same old rebel Well from the same
old people who vilifieG Grant and Lin
coin as they now are Vilifying the great
: and m~agnanimouS Smith.
You cannot throw dust in the eyes of
the people in that way. This attempt
at diversion will not dc. The question
is: Are these accusations against Smith
and those like him true or false"
At 1920 p. m. Mr.. Carmack concluded
| and the Senate adjourned.
