developed into tragedies could thus

message could be sent asking for re-

came for the final dash the explorers
could send word through the relay sta

The Freaks of a Woman.

The sunlight flooded the mountains
and the quiet settlement; the sky was
deeply blue. the pines along the bank
beside Dolores window stirred softly
in the low wind that stole down from
the summit laden with spicy odors.

turned from the doorway and entered
the quiet house; then he turned away
and no one ever knew of what he was
thinking. or the thoughts that would
come of his friend over in the town
who was leaving this girl in his care
with the utmost conference.-the girl,
he well know. whom Charlie loved.
And should he betray his trust to his
friend? Should he prove traitor?
Should he let this kindly feeling for
this brave, beautiful, womanly girl
grow into more than merely friendly
feeling. knowing of his friends thought
of the girl? Could he be capable OF
that? She was, to be sure, a wonder
full girl, shut in by her surroundings,
but growing mentally thousands of
miles beyond them. She was a woman
man should be proud to own as
friend-and more-in spite of her
strange. unfriendly life in the stolid
little mountain settlement. But-and
there was u graver line of thought a
sudden deepening OF the lines of no
bility around the set mouth under the
black mustache-would the love of
even such woman atone in any de-
gree for the loss of manhood. the stain
of traitor? Charlie had left in his
hands the care of the girl he loved,
and he would never-he Strengthened
himself up to his full height In the
low doorway and unconsciously
clenched his hands-he would never
betray his friend. Charlie was worthy
even Dolores Johnson. and he would
never be guilty of even an attempt
to come between him and the woman
he loved. be she though she might. a
woman with the strength and depth
and nobility of character which the
daughter OF this mountain blacksmith
possessed.

grave, as apparently unconcerned as
usual. as Cinthy called him TO Join the

CHAUTAUQUA AT DUBLIN.

Dublin, Ga, July 2O.-What is be-
lieved will be one Of the best chautau-
quas ever held in Georgia will open
tomorrow in this city. 1t will be held
under a large tent that will seat 5000
people.
The Chautauqua sermons will be
preached by Rev. w. N. Ainsworth,
pastor of Mulberry Street Church in
Macon.
For the entire week the Schiller
Male Quartette of Chicago, and the
Crescent City Military Band and Or
chestra, have been engaged. These two
excellent musical organizations were
used last year and furnished the best
music ever heard in Dublin before or
since. The band and orchestra are
composed of seventeen members. For
music alone the Chautauqua manage
ment Will spend more than $1,000.
1t is probable that Monday night
there will be more visitors in the city
than ever before in the history of
Dublin. On account of the lecture of
Mrs. Katherine Ertz- Bowden on the
celebrated Bavarian Passion Play,
which will be illustrated with a NOV
ing picture machine. Four special
trains viii be run to the city. The
Wrightsville and Tennille road will
run one special from Hawkinsville and
another from Tennille, the Macon,
Dublin and Savannah road will run
one from Vidalia, and the Wadley and
Mt. Vernon road will run one from
Wadley to connect at Rockledge with
the Macon, Dublin and Savannah spe-
cial.
In addition to the special trains that
will be run Monday night, it is ex-
pected that special trains will be run
on other days during the week by the
different railroads running to Dublin.
Particularly on Wednesday to the lee
ture of Senator Ben Tillman of South
Carolina.
The following is the programme for
the week:

in this section Of the state are in
