Began, who comes from the public schools of An niston with strong recommendations. has very able assistants in Misses Lula Scott and Annie Williams, who have taught in Auburn for some time. Tho school Is now so large that the trus- tees have decided to select another teacher at once.
 The Rev. Mir. Pugh. of Lafayette. Ala. who has been called to the charge of the Baptist church here. preached two very able sermons Sunday. The | people of Auburn are highly pleased with him. and the church is offering every inducement possible to get him to accept the call On account of the large number of college students in the town. 1t Is important that a strong pastor be secured. The church and town sustained a great loss when the Rev. A. Y. Napier left in June to ac> cept the call of the South Side Baptist church of Montgomery. It Is believed that the church will be fortunate in securing the services of Mir. Pugh who Is classed as one of the ab1est youne ministers in the State.
 Students of the Polytechnic Institute are still arriving and the number at this time has reached 3S0. which is more than has ever been registered at this date in any previous session of the college. The new mechanical building will soon be completed and will add much to the looks of the coI- lege grounds and to the convenience of the mechanical department.
 Saturday night a reception was giv- en to the new students of the college by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Young Mems Christian Association. The re- ception was a most delightful affair and was enjoyed by the largest num- Der of new students ever in attendance on such an occasion in Auburn.

dispositions were so dITerenT. Mrs Ward complained that Dorothy was too religious. and Dorothy found the frivolous world in which her mother moved dull beyond words. It so hap pened that Dorothy stayed mostly at home or went out with one of her aunts, who was something of her type, while Mrs. Ward enjoyed herself at Birmingham and Monte Carlc.
 Things were in this position when the murder of Mrs. Jersey took place. Dorothy read about 1t in the papers, and, knowing that George had gone to stop in the house with Train, was ex- tremely anxious to hear particulars. She wrote to his Kensington add -ess asking him to call, but received no re- ply. Then she saw that he gave evil dence at the inquest, and two days later George made his appearance at the Curzon street house. Mrs. Ward, who had been voluble in her express sions regarding Brendon's "loye for low company" so she pat it, sailed toward him with open hands. She all ways welcomed Brendon in this bright, girlish, kittenish way, as it was part of her scheme. She thought so ss;ri- Ous man would never relish a friTo- .ous mother-in-law and hoped to gel rid of him in this way. But Brendon was too much in love with Dorothy to mind the vagaries of her fashion able parent.
 My dear Mir. Brendon,'' cried Mrs Ward ill her usual gushing manner, q am so glad to see you. The murder, you know! saw your name in the papers. How exciting! How romantic! Tell us all about it."
 There is nothing to tell. Mrs Ward" said George, glancing round the room and seeing that Dorothy was absent. ''All I know is set forth in the papers. was visiting MT. Train there"
 Dorothy will be down soon, but meantime tell me the whole thing from your owH clever point of view" said Mrs. Ward
 She was so pertinacious that Bren- don had reluctantly to yield. He de tailed events as they had been report ed by the press, but concerning the confidence of Leonard he kept silent. Mrs. Ward expressed her disappoint- ment when he finished. You tell me nothing new"
 T warned you that would not" re- piled Brendon, wondering at her petu- lant speech.
 But surely you can throw some light on the matter?' said Mrs. Ward.
 Brendon shook his head. T fear not went to bed at Il and slept soundly until was awakened by the clanor."
 Mrs. Ward thought for moment. Docs MT. Train know anything?"
 Nothing more than have told you" declared Brendon uncomfortably. He disliked deviating from the truth even in the smallest particular. but he dared

ance. He had asked TOT her advice and she gave it.
 George, should get back my birth right if were you"
 .But I may be dragged into this mur- der case"
 'eNo. MT. Train can save you from being accused of that. It is only right that you should take your proper po- sition in society. You owe it to your dead mother and to yourself to show that you have the right to your fla ther's name.'
 "The first thing shall do will be to see Mr. Ireland, my guardian. He took charge of me after my grandfather Lockwood died, and it was by his ad- vice that changed my name to baf- fe the inquiries of Lord Darlington. He will know all about the marriage and may be able to indicate where my parents went when they eloped. I'have never asked him for detailed statement, but shall do so now. Once find a clew I shall not rest un- til I prove my legitimacy. For your sake, my dear-for your sake," and he kissed her.
 They parted at the door. Brendon was just stepping out into the hall when a thought occurred to him. He re-entered and closed the door. Dor othy," he asked in a low whisper, why did you give me the yellow holly on that nightY'
 She looked surprised Tt was to please you," she said softly, land to tell you the truth, George, thought mother was relenting toward you"
 How do you mean, Dorothy r
 Tt was my mother who gave me the holly" she explained T came from the park and told her you were going to stop with Mr. Train and that she, could set her mind at rest, as should not see you for few days. She seemed pleased, and,- taking the yellow holly from vase in her boudoir, she gave me sprig, saying that I could give it to you for consolation. Why do you ask me this, GeorgeY' There is no reason for my asking" :" he replied, suppressing the truth, "but yellow holly is rare,
 Every rare. I don't know where my mother got the sprig.''
 After this they parted, and Brendon walked thoughtfully away. Mrs. ter sey had been startled by the sight of the holly. Mrs Ward had given the spr1g to Dorothy, who had presented it to him. He asked himself if there was a reason for Mrs. Wards action.

 You'll marry any one I choose, . said Mrs. Ward when the two were discussing the matter.
 Certainly not Lord Summerslea,' re joined Dorothy steadily.
 And certainly not that penniless George Brendon," retorted her mother. You shall not throw yourself away on h1m.''
 He is good man and clever man, and man whom any woman might be proud of winning, mother
 "And man with no money and no position. Who is he? What is his family? No one ever heard of him.
 You shall never see me the Countess of Summerslea. know all about that man. He is bad and dissipated."
 
 Dorothy respected as we'll as loved George Brendon and every time she met him grew to admire and love him more. Mrs. Ward became quite ex- asperated and redoubled her efforts to sicken Dorothy of the creature" as she called Brendon. She took to prais- ing him on all occasions and some times asked him to dinner. At the same time she constantly abused young Walter Vane, who was Lord Derring> tons grandson and heir. He was the man she wished Dorothy to marry, as one day he would have a title and if teen thousand a year. But in spite of this Machiavelian policy Dorothy still continued to love George and expressed a hearty dislike for Walter Vane, whom she characterized as a weak ling"
 You would marry me to the prince of darkness himself if 1t suited your purpose" said Dorothy, from which speech 1t will be seen that Miss Ward had small respect for her fascinating mother.

TO TAKE CARE bF GAS STOVES.

If the asbestos of Stoves or fire places becomes dfscofdfed or blacken- ed from the gassl nsfdokfng, as it ire quently does, the thing to do is to sprinkle the feathery fibre with com mon table salt, then light the gas and let it burn the same as usual The sooty appearance of the asbestos de parts like magic and the mineral soon resumes its natural whiteness again. It happens, too, that the tiny apertures through which the gas flows becomes gummed and partially filled in; when such is the case, run a hat pin through the holes, or a round toothpick, and it will readily free them.
 It is important also to give particu- lar attention to the gas range if the best results are to be obtained. and this is especially true where it is in constant service for cooking. Things inclined to boil over quickly like milk or coffee should be watched to pre- vent it happening, as they clog the burners and corrode the iron or zinc Things, causing them to rust and get a stained, unsightly appearance. About once or twice week, accord ing to the use of the range, the burn CTS should be lifted out, turned up side down, and lightly tapped to knock out any dust or soot that might have lodged in the circular aperture that supplies the flame A hatpin is good for picking out any particles that resist tapping. When not using, keep the lids on the stove.
 Keep clean by rubbing with a dry cloth, particularly the oven floor and racks. When anything flows over and burns or grease pops around from baking meats, 1t should be thoroughly secured with soap and warm water, then wiped with dry rag. Keeping all gas stoves polished prevents them from rusting.

CHAPTER V.

VERY one who was any one
 knew the Honorable Mrs.
 Ward. She was fluffy hair
 ed kitten of a woman, more like a Dresden china shepherdess than a mere human being. Nothing could be prettier than her face and figure and nothing more engaging than her manners. With her yellow hair, her charming face and her melting blue eyes she managed to hold her own against younger women, The late Mr. Ward, Lord Ransome's son, had been a fast young man, devoted to the turf and to his pretty wife. But he was killed when riding in steeplechase two years after his marriage and left his widow alone in the world with one daughter for consolation in her af- diction- Mrs. Ward, being in want of money-for. her deceased father had been general with nothing but his pay-played her cards so we'll with re- gard to her father-in-law that he al- lowed her good income and thought she was the most perfect of women But Lord Ransome was the only one r7~ ~-AS AS-A4@AAJ W AO lhOoSAk SOy 4OI Lue other relatives fought rather shy of the pretty, pleading widow.
 Not that Mrs. Ward minded. She characterized the women as frumps and the men as fools, and, having enough to live on comfortably, set up a house in Curzon street. It was thought that she would marry again, and prob ably she would have done so had a suf- ficiently rich husband with title been forthcoming. But somehow no one worth capturing ever came Mrs Wards way, and as time went on she chose to assume the role of a devoted mother and, as she phrased it, to live again in her daughter. This was quite wrong, as Dorothy WaEd was a slim, serious minded girl of nineteen, not given to gayety, and was one who was anxious to marry husband with mind rather than with money How friv- olous little Mrs. Ward came to have such Puritan daughter no one ever could make out. She resembled her mother neither in face nor in manner nor in tastes. Mrs. Ward openly la-
