 T cannot marry you the words dropped harshly from his tremoiine lips. The girl sprang from him and drew herself to her full height proud ly. And you dared to love me! bYrst in an angry passion from her. You have won the one love of my life. you have taken my heart and beat 1t cruel ly. but you cannot trample it into the dust. will not let you, I will not!'
 'Lattis," he answered, stung to the quick. "I have meant no wrong. God knows I love and honor you above all else in the world. and because of my love I cannot leave you so-dear' dear--Iook at me"
 The girl looked up.
 T forgive you" she said simply.
 And I may come again?" he asked humbly.
 She did not answer, but stood in the shadow with averted face. The man hesitated and his heart told him how completely at his mercy this trem- bling girl was, and yet-he loved her and his whole self cried out, "Lattis, Lattis! A timid touch aroused him and two soft lips whispered in his ear. Stay" Then because of his silence she drew back and cried with abandon, God. what have I done?
 The man crossed to the door and went out without a. single backward glance, nor did he utter one word, though he heard the girls dry, heart breaking sobs. X
 Late that night Lattis rose from her couch, where she had been lying tos- sing and sleepless. threw on a loose gown and dropped into chair before her open window. The brilliant moon- light shown into her room. Sudden ly from out the shadow on the veran- da a form appeared and before she could move or cry. kneeled beside her and clasped her close.

 You don't love me-" He used mans old reproach. the suitable weapon a man always uses to win the woman he or loves.
 T do. dear, and you know it. And because I do not want to hate you, bid you leave me at once"
 This is not the logic he expected. and 1t startled him little. Then all his manhood uprose.
 'Lattis. you are queen; your heart Is the purest in the world. Because I love you in the best way a man can love. I will go. Good d-by-dear---" his voice broke into sob. He pressed his hot lips to her hand and went quiet ly away

MAY DUST WASHINGTON.
American League MaRnates In SessIO
 at ChlcaEO.

al OHAcuROs
 Chicago, Dec. 7.-Up to a late hour tonight the American League magnates were in session behind closed doors. The principal topic under discussion is said to have been affairs of the Wash ington Club.
 Benjamin S. Minor of Washington, was present to represent the interests of that club at the meeting. The Washington Club. which was carried by the League last season. was a los- ing proposition, financially, and if any way is found to dispose of the club, it is likely that it will be done There are several stockholders in the club who, 1t is said. are disinclined to sell out, and who also refuse to pay an as sessment to put the club on a sound financial basis.
 It was said by one of the magnates tonight that no action would be taken at this meeting regarding the shorten games, as the matter will have to be placed in the hands of committee which will meet with d similar com mittee from the National League later on to settle the playing schedule for the coming season. There is a strong sentiment among the American League magnates for shorter schedule, so that post season games with the teams of the National League can be ar- ranged, but the sentiment in the latter organization is against such an ar engagement and it is the general belief that the next years schedule will re- main the same as last years.

 Lattis sat directly in front of the wide window and looked with pensive eyes out across the fair expanse of meadow. Her pretty lips dropped daintily at the corners and now and Scarcely a single sound broke the sum- mer stiffness and this served to in- tensify the girls thoughtful mood. Be- fore her in swift panoramic review passed the little commonplace events of her life. There was not a thing above the ordinary nor even below, in fact, nothing worthy to remember or forget. But now of late a change had come. A new sense of dissatisfaction, a queer feeling of loneliness was steal ing into her being and a longing dan gerouly near passion filled her heart. She was too young and mex perienced to analize the cause of this revolution. Impatiently she tossed the bit of embroidery aside and arose.
 MT Duram," she gasped as she faced a man who stood back of her chair.
 What ever were you thinking so deeply of. little one?" he asked. with smile.
 T don't know" she spoke gravely; T am feeling gloomy in spite of such Dcduttoi WOdthcts. UCitcNc l an growing dissatisfied and just a little Ionely.' Her voice sank to a whisper. Then her sunny head dropped into her hands on the arm of the deep chair.
 The man made a movement as if to draw near. but he controlled himself and settled back to his former posi- tion.
 'Lattis." his voice was unsteady with emotion. "come into the garden; you must be sad. It hurts melt hurts me-" Then his hand went out to her.
 She raised her head suddenly and met his look. Involuntary her hand went to her heart, a burning blush flew to her cheek and mounted to her very hair and receding left her white to the lips. Like a burst of glorious. blinding light the truth came to her. She snatched her hand from his, sprang up and took few steps back. Then she heard his dear voice: q love you! I love you better than my soul'
 The girls whole being responded to his declaration: there was delight in his caress that swept all else from her. Love took possession of her SO completely the whole world seemed to lay within this one man.

COUNTY SCHOOL TAXATION.
Superintendent HlI Amends Statemen
 By Adding TuscnIoosa,

Executive Secretary H. c. Gunnels.
 of the Alabama Educational Commit
 tee, which met in Montgomery Friday, said yesterday that he desired to
 amend certain figures that he issued
 on the achievements in the way of
 plan ting local taxation in the counties of the State.
 In enumerating the counties which have voted the special tax of one tenth of l per cent. and saying there were sixteen. he omitted Tuscaloosa County.
 Tuscaloosa gave an encouraging ma jority to the issue recently and there fore there are now seventeen counties which have declared for the tax au- | thorized by the Constitution. Adding Tuscaloosa's county funds to be derived in this way to the total funds of the seventeen counties, the correct aggre- gate of $112,84571 results. For the current year. therefore. the
 whole of Tuscaloosa County's funds. in
 cluding the apportionment of the State tax, are S20,479.59.
