 "Why, yes. suppose so That has always been my impression-though l don't suppose there is any law against a girl filling the position. The mana ger did not state in this case. only that a chef could be had till Monday"
 well, it's him, of course. Now hurry to the telephone. please, before some one else gets him."
 She waited until her husband re- turned from the telephone. nodding.
 Says the chef will be up at one o'clock sharp, Julia. Now I'll go down town and order the things"
 At one sharp Mrs. Botsford was at the window, expectant, anxious. But exactly as the clock struck a cab rolled up to the door and a girl alighted. Mrs. Bortsfords countenance fell a lit- tie, but rose as the girl, with a quick glance around. opened the small gate and went toward the side entrance. It was the chef. though but a girl. And the fact of her coming in a cab and being well dressed was significant of the ten dollars day.
 Mrs. Botsford did not wait for the chamber girl to answer the bell. but hurried to the side entrance The oc- casion was too momentous for cere- mony. As she threw open the door the girl was bending over fine clump of late chrysanthemums that were smiling daringly into the very teeth of winter. Mrs. Botsford heart warmed toward her instantly. She loved flow CTS. and a girl who could bend over them with that look on her face was not an ordinary workwoman, but an artist. As the girl looked up, smiled. nodded. and then came forward, Mrs. Botsford almost caught her In her arms.
 oh. my dear" she cried, without giving the chef an opportunity to speak, you don't know how glad I am to see you. I will take you right Into the kitchen. and Sarah will show you where everything Is. am so glad. l shall not make a suggestion, for I see you are perfectly able and can do best in your own way.

 Did you get one. John?"
 Mrs. Botsford spoke eagerly, almost hvsterically. Her husband drew off his gloves slowly.
 .sWhy, yes: I brought one up, Julia of course. I sent her round to the Kitchen entrance.
 Can she cook?'
 "she is neat and very nice looking" " MT. Botsford temporized, defensively. sShe says she can do. every kind Of Aousework, from up garret to down cellar. And she seems to be strong and willing"
 But can she cook-fancy dishes mean?"
 MT. Botsford looked embarrassed.
 well, you see she was brought up on a farm" he explained, "and hasn't had much chance at such things. She eays, however that she had quite a reputation at home for plain. whole some cooking, and she Is willing to learn. I told her what you wanted"
 Mrs. Botsford dropped on a stool, her eyes filling
 "oh, John" she calculated. Its II o'clock now. and Cousin Edward s fiance is coming at three to stay until Sunday, and she and Edward and some of her people will be here tomorrow for dinner. and you know I have never seen the girl nor any of them. We must have things nice. The girls worth a clear million in her own right. Oh, John! why need our cook get sick at such a time. and" Mrs. Botsford was becoming incoherent. and seemed to recognize the fact herself for she stopped suddenly. John nodded com prehendingly.
 'I see," he said. But what else could I do? There's a corner on serv- ants. especially cooks. at this season. The only suggestion of one besides Sarah was a ten dollars a day chef. who commences on a regular job Mon day. Of course you don't want a chef for two days"
 Mrs. Botsford sprang to her feet. her face suddenly radiant.

Bought Blood Hounds.

The County Commissioners. at a meeting held last night, and which lasted until after midnight. purchased from Sheriff Van Pelt five fine blood hounds, the animals to be used in the tracing of criminals. The animals were bought some time ago by the sheriff on his own responsibility. If the animals proved a success in the tracing of criminals, the sheriff intend ed to ask the county to take them off his hands. This was the explanation offered by MT. Van Pelt last night, and the hounds were bought, the price paid for the quintette being $225.
 Since the sheriff has had the dogs on hand, there has been a marked de- crease in crime here. and the worth of the animals Is readily shown by the fact that. before they arrived, 1t was nightly practice for irresponsible and mischievous persons to stone trains as the latter passed through wooded dis tricts of the county. A few of these persons have been captured, and for months there has been no reports of trouble.

Submitted New Plnn.

The franchise committee held con- ference last evening with the residents of West Garden Street who had enter ed strong protest to the railroad projected from Atlanta to this city be- ing routed through that street. The session was interesting from many standpoints. since the objectors were as firm as ever in protesting against the incursion of the railroad into their vicinity, but they submitted plan which seems to have been favored by the franchise committee. This plan contemplates the purchase of half of two squares, thus widening the street on which the railroad should pass to 100 feet and permitting uninterrupted passage on both sides to a sixty-foot depot as planned by the railroad com pany This plan was taken up today by a committee from the protesting citizens and a Chamber of Commerce Committee. and the conclusion will be later submitted to the Franchise Com mittee and by that body conveyed to the Council, which will be called in special session soon.

teslie's Monthly Magazine:
A few weeks ago Wall street bank
clerk celebrated the completion OF the
fiftieth year of his service in the en-
ploy of single bank and the papers
singled it out as matter of note that
an American had been content to serve
one master for fifty years. And 1t was
matter of note. We printed some
little time ago a striking little article
ON Americans as CUTTERS" Those
were men of brains and energy who
quit when their job was done in order
to go higher up and do better job,
better still. But most OF us are more
fitted to clerk it than to organize, and
what is energy in ADLER men is often
just plain restlessness among the rank
and file. To serve one master we'll for
fifty years is an achievement. 1t ought
to be made distlnctiyely an American
one.

Protecting Citizens Abro ad.

Youths Companions
Wherever the citizens of a civilized
country may 60, the protecting power
of the government goes with them. In
a real sense the British, the German
or the French citizen, no matter how
for from home he may be, all the pow
er of the government, civil and militia
nv, is at his call in case of need.
Chinese outlaws, few years ago,
murdered one or two German mission
aries. War.ships were at once sent to
the East to Insist on the punishment
of the murderers and to demand such
an indemnity from China that it's Off
GERS would consider 1t wise to show
greater respect for Germans in the fu-
ture.
Many little wars have been fought
by the British to impress on semisavage
tribes the fact that they may not with
IMMUNITY maltreat any Briton. Only
recently British shin was seat to
Tangler to cooperate with the Ameri-
can ships in pe1suading the Sultan OF
Morocco that he must not only rescue
the American and the Englishman
who had been captured by brigands,
but that he must exercise greater care
in the protection of all Englishmen
and Americans living in his domains.
Every foreigner in strange land is
figuratlve1y wrapped in the flag of his
own country, an assault upon him is
an assault on that flag. OF course ev
cry man is amenable to the laws OF
the country In which he may be living,
but those laws must be administered
Justly. The ideal before the depart
ment of foreign relations in each
country is that illustrated in the case
o. St. Paul when he asked the centu-
rlOn who was preparing to scourge him
"Is it lawful for you to scourge a man
that is Roman, and uncondemned I"
When a man says that he is an
American, an Englishman, French
man, a German, an italian, or a citi-
zen of any other country, it is implied
that the simple announcement is
enough to induce the officers of what
ever country to see that nothing un-
lawful Is done to him.
