ELECTRIC signs
Being Erected

The Hattiesburg Hotel has erected
new and very artistic electric sign
over the main entrance to the lobby
on Mobile street. The Love Drug
Company is also erecting a mammoth
sign that will add much to Front
street. The whole city is taking on
decidedly metropolitan appearance
since the advent of the Doherty peo-
pie, and it is understood there are
several more signs that will be placed
within the next week or ten days
There is also much talk concerning
the white way that has been sug-
gested installing from the N. o. G. M.
G. depot to the intersection of Front
and Mobile street, together with a
large Welcome" sign. This would
add much to Hattiesburg and would
be the means of attracting much at
tention and comment from travellers
as they pass through the city en- route
to other places. While the white way
proposition has not assumed any def
mite shape, it is stated that the well
some sign will be installed in the very
near future. 1t is hoped that this can
be done in time for the many con-
ventions scheduled to be held here
within the next three months. =,

Legend Of the Hands.

An old legend says that once three
young women disputed about their
hands, as to which were the most
beautiful. One of them dipped her
hand in the pure stream, another
plucked berries till her fingers were
pink, and third gathered flowers
whose fragrance CLING to her hands
An old, haggard wollan passed by and
asked for some sifs, but all refused
her. Another youag woman, plain,
and with no claim to beauty of hand,
satisfied her need. The old woman
then said: 1T is not the hand that lie
washed in the brook. nor the hand
tinted with red, nor the hand garland.
ed and perfumed with flowers, that is
most beautiful, but the hand that

SYNOPSIS.

Dan Blair, the 22-year-old son of the
hsty-million-dollar copper king OF Blair
town. Mont, is a guest at the English
home of Lady Galorey. Dams father had
been courteous to Lord Galorey during
his visit to the United States and the
courtesy is now being returned to the
young man. The youth has an ideal girl
IN his mind. He meets Lily. Duchess OF
Breakwater. a beautiful widow. who =
attracted by his immense fortune ard
takes liking to her. When Dan was a
boy, girl sang solo at church. and
he had never forgotten her. The Ga
loreys. Lily and Dan attend a London
theater where one Lefty Lane is the star.
Dan recognizes her as the girl from his
town. and going behind the scenes intro
duces himself and she remembers him.
He learns that Prince Poniotowsky Is
sutton and escort to Lefty. Lord Ga
iorey and a friend named Ruggles deter
mine to protect the westerner from Lily
and other fortune hunters. Young Blair
goes to see Lily: he can talk of nothing
but Lefty and this angers the Duchess.
The westerner finds Lefty Ill from hard
work, but she RECEIVERS and Ruggles and
Dan invite her to supper. She asks Dan
to build a home for disappointed the
atr1cal people.

CHAPTER xl.-Con:lnued.

She did not appear to hear him. In
deed she was not looking at him, and
Dan saw Prince Poniotowsky making
his way toward their table across the
room.
Lefty Lane rose Dan put her cloak
about her shoulders, and glancing to-
ward Ruggles and toward the boy as
indifferently as she had considered
the newcomers, who formed a small
group around the brilliant figure OF
the actress, she nodded good night to
both Ruggles and Blair and went up
TO the Hungarian as though he were
her husband, who had come to take
her home. However. at the door she
sufficiently shook off her mood to
smile slightly at Dan:
81 have had lots of fun and the
Scotch broth was great! Thank you
both so much"
Until they were up In their sitting
room her hosts did not exchange a
word. Then Ruggles took book up
from the table and sat down with his
cigar. Il am going to read little
Dan. Slept all day; feel as wide
awake as an OWL"
Dan showed no desire to be COM
municative, however, to Ruggles' dis
appointment, but he exclaimed abrupt
ly:
"I1l, be darned, Ruggles, If l can
guess what you asked her fort"
We'll, 1t did turn out to be a pref
ty expensive party for you, Dannie,
didn't it?" Ruggles returned humor-
ously. I'll let you off from any more
supper parties"
And Dan fumed as he turned his
back. Expensive! There you are
again. Ruggles, with your Internal In
trusion of money into everything
do"
When the older man found himself
alone, he read little and then put
his book down to muse. And his med
itations were on the tide of life and
the beds it runs over; the living whirl-
coursing through London under fog
and mist. 1t seemed now to surge up
IN the dark to his very windows, and
the flow mysteriously passed under
mis- windows in these silent hours over
which the waters go. Out of the
sound. as it flowed on, the cries rose,
ke thought, kindly to his ears: God
bless her-God bless Lefty Lane!"
And with this sound he closed his
meditations, thinking of more peace
ful stream, the brighter. sweeter wa
tiers Of the boys nature, translucent
and clear. The vision was happier,
and with it Ruggles rose and yawned,
