he had not read more of the books with
which its spacious shelves were filled, in
stead of riding around playing polo and lead
ing cotillions. What did his life all amount
to, anyway!
He was about to seat himself, when he
suddenly became conscious that there was
someone else in the room. y cold chill crept
up his spine at the presence of the unknown;
but, being a man, he merely clcnched his
hands and took a quick step forward, and
waited. He peeped round the room, until
gradually familiar objects began dlmly to
take shape.
Then suddenly quite near him, in the
very chair at his side, indeed, someone
brcathed! He seemed rooted to the spot;
but, summoning back his will, he looked
down.

When he realized that it was no intruder
before him, but the very girl herself, real
flesh and blood, and no dream fancy, he felt
a hot wave pass over him. and all the rest of

he were left. Only these two, breathing,

CONDITIONS ENCOURAGING

II Making 1t Helpful Factor In
Southern Development,

Washington.-A most encouraging
view of conditions in the Southeast
is presented in the annual report OF
the Southern Railway company, Whlcn
states that one Of the most import
ant factors in the strength Of the com
pany's position is the industrial anu
agricultural development of the Ter
ritory trayersed by its lines. Inc
marked agricultural progress due 10
the general adoption Of approved
methods by the farmers of the South'
east, particularly the increase OF al
versifed farming, and the diyerslhca-
ton of industries are noted.
The management Of the company
with broad conception of its rela'
tions to the public, Is making the rail-
way not merely carrier Of the peo'
pie and products of the South, pu'
also a helpful factor in Southern De
yelopment. The report sets out the
efforts being put forward to increase
the prosperity Of the people alreauI
in the Southeast, and, to attract III
yestors and desirable settlers to th'
territory served by the lines OF th'

Farmers Fight Cotton Foe
for Arousing Interest in
Road Improvement.

The advent Of the boil weevil into
the territory of the Southern Rail-
way System caused it to take up
work to combat it's rayages. To TINS
end a cotton culture department was
organized, with a chief and a force
of field agents, each one Of whom has
had practical experience in growing
cotton under boil weeyil conditions
to cover the districts of Alab, ma ana
Mississippi where the weeyil has al
ready appeared or threatens. More re-
Gently the work Of this department
was extended to Southern Georgia
along the lines of the Southern Rall'
way and the Georgia, Southern ana
Florida. The agents Of this depart,
ment work in harmony with those OF
the United States farm demonstra
ton bureau and with the state au
thorities, doing special work with the
individual farmer in instructing MN
in the best ways to raise cotton un
der weevll conditions and in showing
him how he can diversity his crops
to the best purpose.

FIRST TYPEWRITER.

Though it is only within compara-
lively recent years that the type
writer has come to play its all-om-
portant part in business life, it is
quite an ancient instrument, having
been first produced in England near
ly 200 years ago. On January II,
1714, there was granted to a Mr..
Mills, an engineer in the employ Of
the New River company, a patent
for an invention described by him
as "an artificial machine for the i'm
pressing or transcribing Of letters,
singly or progressively, one after an
other, as in writing, whereby all
words may be engraved on paper or
parchment SO neat and exact as not
to be distinguished from print"
