 Anyway. I'd think you would be ashamed to let him see so plainly that you love him. Men don't care for girls that fling themselves openly. They despise 'em.n
 Stung as by lash, Stella rose, and without word stepped out on the floor with Gideon. In any garb he was a sriking figure. Tonight his fault less dress enhanced his Spanish grace and joy seftened his dark. inserutable face. Since childhood the two had dauced together.

 All the evening Stella had looked | forward to the moment when she might dance with Alfred. During the programme Gideon had knocked at tue door Of grandma ans room, then the green room. 10 ask for coming waltzes. and had gone away scowling at Stella's refusal.

 She saw aa angry gleam in his eye. saw his set. stern jaw; but he spoke hardly word. Stella almost felt that his anger was for her.

She could not know that Alfred was fighting one of the few fierce battles of his life; that he was almost ready 10 strike out with his fist for possession of her, to defy Mir.

TWIN CITIES HAVE
 OFFICIAL TANGLE
CITY COUNCILS AND COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH ELECT CITY HEALTH OFFICERS FOR DEcA- TuR AND NEW DECATUR.

Decatur, February 26.-(Special.)-T City Councils of Decatur and New De- catur and the. Morgan county board of health are in the midst of a pretty squa6 ble over the question of health officers for the two cities. At a recent meeting the county board, acting under the an- thority of the new municipal code law, elected health officers for the two towns.
 The City Councils at later meetings dis regarded these elections and named other officers, claiming that as the twin cities have not adopted the new municipal code the county board has no authority in the matter. On the other hand the county board claims that the municipal law is automatic and adopts itself after certain time, and Is now in force.
 The officers elected by the county board are pr. J. l.. Myers for Decatur and Dr. F. z. Corswell for New Decatur.
 The officers elected by the City Councils are Dr. E. J. Conyngton for Decatur and Dr. M. w. Murray for New Decatur.

DAN MCCLELLAN
 DIES OF INJURIES
CLIFF FOREST AND LESTER GRAY ARE HELD AS ACCESSORIES TO
 THE MYSTERIOUS ROUNDING
 OF THE DEAD MAN.

Alexander City, February 26.-(SpecialJ As a result of internal injuries sustained Friday night either by falling while in- toxicated on his way home or by being unmercifully beaten by someone with whom he came in contact, Dan Mcclellan, a deaf mute employe of the Alexander City cotton mill, died this morning at o'clock.
 Cliff Forrest and Lester Gray, who as- sisted Mcclellan in reaching home, were today placed under bond of s150 each as accessories in connection with the mys- terious cause of the doubly unfortunate mans death Their contention is that Mcclellan, otherwise than having been badly intoxicated, was uninjured when they assisted him to his home. McClel- lans last statement in regard to the af- fair, it is said, was to the effect that he remembered nothing that occurred after taking a drink of whisky with Lester Gray about or 10 o'clock Friday night until early next morning.
 Mcclellan is survived by his widow and two children here. He was the only child of his parents, who reside at Tallassee.
