AUBURN TRACK

Auburn. March 7.-(Special) )-R K. Greene of Birmingham, who was the successful captain of the track team last year, is manager this year, and Page, Auburn's 10-second man, Is cap tain.
 squad of 29 men are out every aft ernoon and prospects of a record break ing team are very good. Auburn has all the old men back except Beutell and Stauffacher. Bllingsly, an old track man with fine record behind him is trying for the mile and Manning, the baseball star, is doing the high jump at feet 10 inches.
 John Davis, who holds the southern record on pole yaulting, is back at his old stunts and Standifer puts the shot like some Greek hero. Lewallen re- sembles old Smythe Northridge on the broad and he and Dudley are doing excellent work over the hurdles. New material is showing up fine.
 The first meet will be in Clemson on April 23, and the second in Atlanta on May 1. The s. I. A. A. and final meet will be in Birmingham on May 6 and Auburn will be well represented in all.

tiser, Odenville's new weekly newspaper, will be published on Saturday of this week. An entirely new plant has been installed, including a job printing outfit. N. G. Broome, formerly of Mississippi, is manager of the paper and 1t is his intention to give this place one of the best county papers in the state
 Brown & Cason have moved their drug store into the handsome new press brick front building erected for them by the Hodges brothers, next door to the Bank of Odenville. Hodges Bros, will occupy the storeroom In the Cahaba hotel build ing vacated by Brown & Cason. This will give them two large storerooms.
 The Bank of Odenvile is reported to be in very prosperous condition, de- posits being several thousand dollars higher than at this time last year. Dur ing the two years and over which this institution has been in operation a vol ume of business has been built up which would do credit to a much larger town than Odenville. State Senator w. T. Brown is president; J. l.. Hamilton, one of St. Clair county's most prominent farmers is vice president and A. II. Smith cashier.

HARDWICK TUNNEL
 WEARS COMPLETION

Odenville March 7.-(Special)0 The work of concreting the Hardwick tunnel on the Seaboard Air Line railway is nearing completion. c. w. Lane O., the contractors. state that they will be ready to leave by March 15 This has been very expensive undertaking, but when completed will be an unusually fine piece of work
 Odenvile is very much interested in the prospects for the Tag line. Should this line be built from Gadsden 1t would intersect with the Seaboard Air Line he"e and would open up considerable unde- veloped territory between this place and Gadsden. It is reported that number of papers in connection with the new road have been recorded at Ashville. in this county. and the citizens of Oden- vile take this as an indication that it is the intention of the promoters oc the road to use the route which comes through here. as it would not strike this county unless this route was selected.

HER LEFT CHEEK.
passed between US and the wreck
she had made Of my life. But here.
in place so remote and desolate
had hesitated to enter it myself,
what was to think? How was
to reconcile so uncomfortable a fact
with what I knew Of her in the past.
with what I hoped from her In the
future?
1t was evident that some grisly fear.
some staring horror, had met her in
this strange retreat. Simple grief
speaks with a different language from
that which read In her distorted
features and lettering, slowly creep
ing form. What had happened above7
She had escaped me to run upon
what? My lips refused to ask. my
limbs refused to move. and If I
breathed at all did so with such
fierceness of restraint that her eyes
never turned my way. not even when
she had reached the lowest step and
paused for moment there, oscillat-
ing in pain or uncertainty. Her face
was turned more fully toward me.
and had just begun to discern
something in 1t besides its tragic
beauty when she made quick move
and blew out the candle she held.
Then there came crash. followed
by the sound of flying feet. She bad
flung the candlestick out OF her hand
ond vae hurried)v crossing the hall.
I thought she was coming my way
and instinctively drew back against
the wall. But she stopped far short
of me, and I heard her CROPPING about.
then give a sudden spring toward
the front door. 1t opened, and the
wind soughed in. felt the chill OF
snow upon my face and realized the
tempest. Then all was quiet ana
dark again. She had slid quickly out,
and the door had swung to behind
her.
