Mr.. Paul Mcdonald Brice, editor of
the Columbia Evening Record, died at
the home of his parents in Ninnsboro
on Wednesday morning at o'clock.
Mr.. Brice had been in bad health
for n number of years, hut was al
ways a patient and accomplishing suf-
fcrcr. Even with his bad health he
was one Of the best and most ac-
curate and impartial reporters and
editorial writer's on the press of this
state.
We have known him for number
of years and he was always the same
gentle and genial and Faithful friend.
His death is a dictnct loss to the
newspaper profession Of this state.

The rcalignment of industries,
aims and purposes which he foresees
can scarcely come without a transi-
tion period, and the course of wis
dom is to prepare for it in time in
order that the readjustment may
cause the least degree Of suffering
among the great mass. The mineral
supply may not give out so soon as
Mr.. Hill believes; it may give out
sooner; or other vast deposits may
be discovered--in short, various things
may happen either to retard or to has
ten the coming of the day which he
predicts. But nothing is more sure
than that it will get here some time.
Mr.. Hill tells us nothing very new;
other men have seen the same thing
but on account of his prominence his
words will have the effect Of making
people think.-Atlanta Journal.
Back to the farm is the slogan Of
The Herald and News and has been
for long time.
We hope soon to see the day when
the farm will be as it ought of right
to be, the ideal place for residence and
instead Of our farmers cndcavoring to
get far though ahead to move to town,
tho people who live in town will have
az their ideel the ambition to be able
to have country home.

Gideon FenwiCk, pompous, horld man OF forty,
sought the public stenographer after lunch. will
you write some letters for me?" he asked. my
girl is off on her vacation
Certainly" she replied. Gideon Fenwick was
the busiest man in the building and one of the few
who kept regular stenographer
The public stenograp her wrote a few curt bust
notes at his dctation; then he frowningly
glanced through long letter, looked at his watch,
hesitated, and finally said: Answer this too I'm
in the deuce of hurryl"
The letter addressed to the manager of
foundry in the southern part of the State Its
tone friendly. Suddenly a familiar name
awakened more than stenographer's interest in
her work. The young cub is to the effect
Fogartys story would have the jury Fenwck
dictated {" He is searching for him high and low.
Say nothing to arouse Fogarty's suspicious that he
is being kept out of the way. If l win this suit
Ill have money to burn.
The lawyer waited impatent1y while she tran
scribed the letter. She watched him drop it into
the chute.
For the first time conscience problem disturbed
the snoothness of Grace Sherwoods business
career. She spent a miserable afternoon in self
argument without reaching conclusion. As she
pinning her hat Harvey Weir stepped off
the elevator Her excited eyes alarmed him.
You have been working too hard!" he accused
stern1y.
She smiled in denial 81 am only perplexed,
Mr.. Weir Would l be justified in repeating to
of my patrons something to his interest that
another patron impaired to me as a public stenog-
rapher?"
The young lawyers reply was instantaneous.
"You would not!" emphatical1y. "A business
confidence ntrusted to you should be sacred
as confidence given to priest under the seal of
the confessional
But it is wrong!" she protested.
And the violation of trust is wrongl" severely.
Miss Sherwood walked the floor nervously. you

The morning of the eighth Harvey Weir was
delighted to see Miss Sherwood at her desk. You
did not tell me you were going away, he reproached,
holding her hand in unwarrantaby long greeting
MY card explained my absence, frigidly then
re1enting: will you wear my favor to the Fray"
offering him a carnation from her overlooking
You'll be sorry you gave it to me if get licked, "
he said boyishly.
You won't get licked, she returned confidently.
The day was endless to the public stenographer
At last Harvey Weir returned from court, pale and
detected. Has Fogarty GOMEZ" asked Miss Sher-
wood eagerly.
No. hopelessly Its repetition of the other
trial The sympathy of the jury is with the plaintiff
Fogartys evidence is all we need
The second day of the trial Fenwick went up to
his office at noon, snirk and smiling. Weir also
paid a meteoric visit to his office. "Were at it
like Kilkenny cats" he said to Miss Sherwood on
his way out Bowen walks up and down in the
frenzy of his eoquence, shaking his long hair and
there's barber the jury!" with burst of
laughter. "Fenwick began touching speech
with the remark that his sympathy with the
poor injured plaintiff, after which l called the
urys attention to the fact that his first question
had been: What became of the horses?' Aside
from taking an occasional fall out of Fenwick &
Bowen, do nothing but pour in expert testi-
mony on subjective symptoms"
And no Fogarty!' walled Miss Sherwood.
In the afternoon of the third day Weir stepped
off the elevator like one in trance He white
as paper.
Miss Sherwood's face blanched in sympathy.
"Oh, what is it?" she cried, fastening to meet
him. You haven't lost? Don't tell me Fogarty
didn't appear!"
Wer's entranced face broke into dreamy smile
He caught and held her hands "Grace!" he said
passonate1y why didn't you tell me? l thought

The public stenographer wrote the
young lawyers letter to detective

contained the business secrets of almost
every man in the building.
will you transcribe this at once,
please, Miss Sherwood" Weir asked
with an apologize air. 1t was hard to
forget that they had figured in society
as friends two years before.
Certainly" with smiling willingness
AZ fear this suit is preying upon your
health, Mr.. Weir. Cannot you run away
from it for few days?"
The public stenographer did not
often overstep the limitations of her
position. In her official capacity she was
always ready to discuss the weather.

sense, his employee, and her graciousness

It's queer Fogarty can't be found
Miss Sherwood on her way to the door
paused in a flood of noon sunlight with
which her blond hair seemed to mingl,
Tall and slender, with the graceful poiss
of health, she recalled to Weir the beau
tiful SUMMARIZES he once had believed in.
Her plain black gown was the outward
symbol of grief for her father, whose
death had divulged his utter financial
ruin.

August crept slowly away in hot,
sticky days, uncomfortable enough to
account for the depression shared by
Harvey Weir and Grace Sherwood.
Through the personal column of the
newspapers, through detective agencies
and widespread CORES pondence, Weir
sought the missing Fogarty; the public
stenogra pher formed the habit of watch
ing for the postman.

Miss Sherwood impulsively laid down

keen eyes searching her face.
Instantly she perceived her mistake:
in the regard of the pompous lawyer she
was merely an Office necessity, like the
telephone, a being without brains or
soul. To undeceive him would be to
lose the forlorn hope of reaching Fogarty
in time The letter she had written to
him had probably been intercepted.
Il have no shorthand for devil"
she said haltingly, red and trembling.
He laughed good-humoredly. Then
cut it out, he said.
Next morning a card on her covered
typewriter informed those interested
that the public stenographer had gone
out of town for few days.
