just mentioned, so she was ready to
notice that Mrs. Jeffrey's hand shook
like that of an old and palsied woman
when she reached out for the tray.
Gladly would Loretta have caught
one glimpse of her face, but it was hid
den by the door; nor did Mrs. jeffrey
answer a single one of her questions.
She simply closed her door and kept it
SO till toward midnight when Miss
futile, coming into the hall, ordered
the house to be closed for the night.
Then the long shut door softly swung
open; but, before any one could reach
it, 1t was again pulled to and locked.
The next day brought no relief. Miss
futile. who had changed greatly dur
ing this unhappy day and night, sue
ceeded no better than before in getting
access to her sister, nor could Loretta
gain the least word from her mistress
till toward the latter part Of the after
noon, when that lady, ringing her bell,
gave her first order.
"a substantial dinnerw she cried.
And when Loretta, greatly relieved,
brought up the required meal she was
astonished to find the door open and
herself hidden to enter. The sight
which met her eyes staggered her.
From one end Of the room to the other
We're signs Of great nervous unrest
and of terrible suffering. The chairs
We're pushed into corners as if the
wretched bride had tramped the floor
in an agony of excitement. Curtains
We're torn, and the piano cover was
hanging half on and half off the open
upright, as if she had clutched at it to
/ keep herself from falling. On the floor
beneath lay several pieces of broken
china-vases of whose value Mrs. JEFF
frey had often spoken, but which, jerked
off with the cover, had been left where
they fell-while Immediately in front
of the fireplace lay one of the rugs
tossed into heap, as if she had rolled
in it on the floor or used it to smother
her cries of pain or anger.
So much for the state in which the
witness found the boudoir. The ad.
Joining bedroom was not in much bet
ter case. though it was evident that the
bed itself had not been lain in since it
was made up the day before at break
fast time. By this token, Mrs. Jeffrey

had not slept the night before, or If she
had laid her head anywhere it had
been on the rug already spoken Of.
These signs Of extreme mental suf-
fering. so much more extreme than any
Loretta had ever before witnessed,
frightened her so that the tray shook
in her hand as she set 1t down on the
table among the countless objects Mrs.
Jeffrey always had about her. The
noise seemed to startle her mistress,
who bad walked to the window after
opening the door, for she wheeled i'm
petuously about and Loretta saw her
face. 1t was as If blight had passed
over It. Once gay and animated be-
yond the power OF any one to describe,
It had become in twenty-four hours "a
ghosts face. with the glare Of some
awful resolve on It: or so it would
appear from the way Loretta describ-
ed it.
Loretta, who was evidently accus-
toned to seeing her mistress arrayed
In brilliant colors and much begem-
med, laid great stress on the fact that,
though It was on the verge Of evening
and she was evidently going out, abe.
&as dressed In black cloth and, with
sut even diamond or a flower to re-
nepo its severe simplicity. Her hair,
too. which was always her pride. was
piled in careless mass upon her head
as II she had tried to arrange It her
self and had forgotten what she was
doing while her fingers were but half
through their work. There was
cloak lying on chair near which she
was standing and she held hat in her
hand. but Loretta saw no gloves. AS
the maids glance and that Of her mis-
Gess crossed, Mrs. jeffrey spoke, and
the effort she made in doing so natu-
rally frightened the girl still more. 81
am going out" were her words. II
may not be home till late What are
you looking at?"
Loretta declared that the words took
Der by surprise and that she did not
know what to say, but managed to COW
er up her embarrassment by intimating
that If her mistress would let her
kouch up her hair bit she would
make her look more natural.
At this suggestion Mrs. Jeffrey cast

North Cdrolina'S Marked
Progress.
CONTINUED From Page One.)

Superintendents are brought together
at least once a year for conference
with the State superintendent and
with each other and for discussion of
their common work and helpful in
terchange of ideas. This work of the
State Association is profitably supple
mented by the work of five district
associations of County Superintend-
entS.
Organization and Systematization of
tie. Work. "
Very commendable progress has been
made in organizing and systematic
ing the public school work and in the
application of more systematic and
business-like methods by all school
offices in managing the finances, keep
ing the records and conducting the
general business of the public schools.
In many counties the teachers have
been organized for cooperative work
in teachers associations. Through
township meetings and educational
rallies, patrons and committeeman
have been reached and interested, and,
in many instances, put to work tor
better schools. Wise and definite
rules and regulations for the better
management of the public schools
have been adopted by many County
Boards of Education A graded course
of study has been carefully prepared,
printed and placed in the hands OF
every public school teacher. This
course of study has already been put
into successful operation in all the
public schools. The course of study
is flexible SO as to be disable in short
term schools as we'll as long term
schools, full courses of supplement
tary work having been provided for
long term schools. In the allotment
of time to the various subjects, proper
emphasis has been given to each sub
ject according to its impor-
lance New school registers for teach
| ers and record books for committee
men, county treasurerS and county
superintendents have been carefully
prepared and distributed. These books
with the explanations that they con-
tain will render easy the keeping of
accurate records, minutes and ac-
counts by school officers. Blank vouch-
ers have been prepared corresponding
with these books. The committeeman
book, the county superintendent book
and the treasurer's book have been
SO arranged as to be easily kept and
act as checks upon each other in the
management of the finances. Marked
improvement in the keeping of the
records and the accuracy of the re-
ports and in the general management
of the business of the public school
work from top to bottom has resulted.
This Improvement is very noticeable
in the reports made to the State Su-
perintendent by the county school Of
ficers.

Mr.. Horner's chief pleasure was in
teaching Latin; with equal skill how
ever in Greek and English. His mind
was strong, clear and analytic. He
loved accuracy and precision. The
superiority of Greek and Latin over
English in accurately and clearly eX-
pressing subtle distinctions of thought,
endeared these languages to him. He
used them with pleasure and with
power as instruments of mind cui-
ture, because they were perfectly flied
to his own mental machinery. AS the
Greek was the literary and speculative
artist of the world, as the Roman was
the conqueror, drill master and civil
iZer of the world, so the Greek and
Roman languages, representing the
chief qualities and the chief power
of the Greek and Roman races still
remain the best instrumentalities, the
one. for purely literary culture or
subtle metaphysical distinction, the
other, for drilling into orderly shape
the untamed and uncultivated mental
faculties of the average youthful bar
barian. Horner SO recognized them
and so employed them. He loved the
classic literatureS, because they are
simple, natural and strong. He loved
Horner lived in the Homeric Age, he
would have been a chieftain of tie
Iliad. You can see him in the pages
of his favorite authors; Homer, Vir-
gill Scott or Shakespeare. You may
find him also among the ancient pa
triarchs, in the Hebrew scriptures.
You would not look for him in the
pages of Dickens or BulWer; of lola
or Du Maurier. He was strong. rug
ged and unadorned; a supplemented
heroic genius, combining in one per-
son the intellect of a sage aad the
simplicity of a child, the strength of
Hercules and the weakness of a baby,
the power and the love to inspire
and guide soaring lQtellect, with con-
tempt and ridicule for crawling and
struggling dizziness. His life was
blameless, free from vice, scandal and
selfishness. 1t was absolutely conse-
Grated to others. He was a living
sacrifice on the altar of education.
He followed the footsteps Of the
Great Teacher, and for the sake OF
others gave daily his flesh and blood.
He built up new brains and inspired
new hearts in two generations OF
youths. BY the willing sacrifice of
his own powers, daily and hourly
made for forty years, he created new
powers and fashioned new forces, that
will influence the world and elevate
humanity long after he is forgotten.

Money Making Fairs.
From Harper's Bazaar.

TE
There Is one new plan by which the
maximum OF money is made with the
minimum OF %work-this is the sample
fair. The manufacturers OF everything
salable are solicited for samples of the
goods, such as cereals, soaps, pickles
and preserves, bluings, cocoas and
syrups. With what is sent in response
all that is left TO be done is to arrange
a room, place the goods on tables n
sell them at the same prices charged
in the shops. Often some cocoa manu-
facturer will be glad to serve hot choco-
late by way OF advertisement, and that

ments, and the net result will be a
surprising sum. The fair, however, does
not compare in attractiveness with one
where some pretty idea is carried out,
such as in the poppy fair. where all the
booths arc done in white crepe paper
decorated with red peoples, and all the
girls are dressed TO correspond in white
gowns and paper hats covered with
peoples.
Still another attractive bazaar is a
Dutch fair. The Invitation and tickets
are printed In red. on yellow, the booths
are decorated IN yellow, inc the girls
who serve wear Dutch costumes with
little Dutch caps and everywhere tulips
are placed, in reds and yellows. For a
grab bag there Is a flower garden
where one can pull up tulips which
have small bundles IN place OF bulbs.
Last OF all comes the rainbow fair.
Here each booth, is In one of the rain
bow colors with a colored rainbow bent
over it's top, and the girls within are
dressed in colors which match the
booth.

RUST IN WHEAT.

Rust is bothering wheat growers;
and, it seems that our scientists are all
at sea about it. Professor Bailey, of
North Dakota, is working hard on the
| problem. Here is what he says:
Last year, 1904, we found that the
berry of the wheat was often attacked
by the stem rust. Later Investigations
teach us that in many samples of the
seed wheat which was grown upon he
rusted crops Of 1904 there was as high
as 20 to 80 per cent. of the wheat
grains which were internally attacked.
This is a discovery entirely new to
students of wheat rust. We ave fur
Their found that all such wheat grains,
which were not otherwise injured,
Sprouted and grew normally. We have
not as yet been able to prove definitely
that such wheat grains become attack
ed from these internal spores.
The spores are found in such in
fected grains usually at the germ end
Just over or under the embryo wheat
plant: but we nave found them in
other parts Of the seed. One can
usually tell all such internally infected
grains by the fact that they are black.
or brown on the seen end. So far we
nave been able to gnd only the spores Of
the stem rust on the inside of wheat
grains; but both the summer spores
and the winter spores occur in the
spore beds.
we have accumulated many other
observations which indicate hat both
these species of rust may come from
inside of the seed, but the absolute
proof is yet wanting"

In an hour the man carefully tiptoed
