Inc grand jury OF TINS county ADJOURNED
today without making any report OF indict-
ments in connection with the alleged mis-
management of the state school for girls
at Mitchellville, Neither John Cownie, who
was accused OF crime by the governor,
nor the governor himself was indicted.
Whether this will close the case remains
to be seen. The entire Enlargement OF the
school for many years was Inquired into
by the grand jury and nothing was found
to suggest Encouragement or any wrong
action. Mr.. Cownie, chairman OF the
board, had been discharged by the COVER

He had walked to the window and looking
out at the characteristic mountain storm with its
flashing lightning, its crashing thunder, its sweeping
wind, storm that breaks without warning and, at
the height of its force, stops suddenly as though
the heavens had turned topsyturvy and spilled all
their flood of waters in one downpouring deluge.
Silently he regarded the prospect before him. Rivu-
lets ran from every hillside; the road before the
cabin door was swift stream.
He was about to speak, when terrifying volley of
thunder above their very heads drowned his words.

above the noise of wind and
rain and the cabin door opened

man stood staring out, impotent
with surprise.

voice called again half seriously.

Grasping the bit, he led the dis

rush of self consciousness.
So long as there had been need
of action he had been equal to

Now that there remained for him
only to accept the thanks of an
exceedingly pretty and wholly
unknown feminine person who
had been blown in upon him by
a sudden thunderstorm, he was
suffering from intolerable en-
barrassment: for not in the
twenty-five years of Phil Creede's
life had he experienced any,
thing similar to this. Women,
of any sort whatsoever, he had
scarcely known, and there was
truth in the banter of his asso-
ciates that woman was the
