We could almost walk to the lake
over the trees" said Miss Pat. IT'S a
charming picture"
Then, as we all turned, to the lake,
seeing 1t afar across the tree-tops
through the fragrant twilight, l saw
the Stiletto standing out boldly upon
the waters Of Annandale, with a Ian
guild impudence that l began to as
sociate with its slim outlines and
snowy canvas. Other craft were
abroad, and Miss Pat, judged, spoke
only of the prettiness of the general
landscape, and there was, to be sure,
no reason why the sails Of the Stiletto
should have had any particular signifi-
canoe for her. Helen was still looking
down upon the lake when Miss Pat
suggested that we should 60 home;
and even after her aunt called to her.
the girl still stood, one hand resting
upon the trunk OF a great beech, her
gaze bent wistfully, mournfully to-
ward the lake. But on the homeward
drive-she had asked for the reins
again-her mood changed abruptly,
and she talked cheerily. often turning
her head-a scarlet-banded sailor hat
was, thought, remarkably becoming
Ito chan about her skill with the
reins.
Il haven't care or trouble in the
world" declared Miss Pat when l left
them at ST. Agatha's. Il am sure that
we have known the worst that can
happen to us in Annandale. l refuse
to be bit frightened after that
drive"
1T was charming" said Helen.
This Is better than the English lake
country. because 1t isn't so smoothed
out"
II will grant you all of that" l said.
Il will go further and admit-what Is
much for me-that it is almost equal
to Killarney"
There seemed to be sincerity in
their good spirits. and was myself
refreshed and relieved as l drove into
Glenarm; but arranged for the same
guard as on the night before. Helen
Holbrook's double-dealing created a
condition of affairs that demanded
cautious handling. and had no inten-
ton of being caught mapping.
From the window Of my room saw
the Japanese boy patrolling the walks
Of st. Agatha's. A blackboard of young
sters from Port Annandale passed in
the road, leaving a trail of song be-
hind them. Then the frog choruses
from the little brook that lay hidden
In the Glenarm wood sounded In my
ears with maddening iteration. and
sought the open.
The previous night had met Helen
Holbrook by the stone seat on the
ridge, and l cannot deny that it was
with the hope Of seeing her again that
| set forth. She was beautiful with 4
rare loneliness at all times, yet found
myself wondering whether. on the
strange frontiers Of love. 1t was her
daring duplicity that appealed to me.

ATTORNEYS VOLUNTEER
Their SERVICES
Ready to Defend Ministers
in Libel Suit

Four attorneys have volunteered
their services to defend the two clec-
gymen of Americas, who are being
prosecuted by Tom Dixon for conspira-
cy and when the case is called in the
! United States cour tat Macon in May
/ it is not improbable that there Will
be brilliant array of counsel for the
Rev. R. L. Bivens and Rev. Lansing
Burrows.
The four members of the local bar
who are eager to represent the minis
tiers in what gives promise of being a
celebrated case are Messrs. R. l.. May
nard, w. T. Lane, w w Dykes and ].
f. Sheppard. 1t is not known which
of these attorneys will take charge Of
the case.
At the last meeting of the city coun-
ell, the city attorney was authorized to
engage counsel to assist him in de-
Tending the councilmen who are being
likewise sued for damages 1t is not
improbable that some of the aldermen
will also have personal attorneys, and
the number altogether engaged on the
I case may run to a half dozen or more
Great interest is felt in the outcome
of the suit This is the first time, as
for as known, that a theatrical mana
| ger and playwright has sued for dam
ages for alleged defamation of a play
This is also the first time, too, it is
understood, that clergymen have been
sued for calling on a municipality TO
exercise it's police powers to prevent
the presentation of a play alleged to
be improper and dangerous in its ten
denotes, by them.
It is not unlikely that this case will
receive national attention from the re-
iigious, secular and, especially, the
theatrical press. Whether Tom Dixon
gets damages of a finincial nature or
not, he and his play will unqeustiona-
bly, have a tremendous lot of adyer-
Using without cost except that incur
red in paying his attorney. 1t is stated
