BORROWING A BOOK
BY NELLIE scHoFlElD.

- - =
What is that interesting looking
book there on your dresser?" asked
Marjory, as she watched her friend
Dorothy do her hair in the latest fash
ion.
THAT is the new novel, Untold
You have heard of 1t, haven't your

say So. / have been dying to read
1t and I'm going to take it home with
me now"
mo, you are not!" declared Dorothy.
II have three more chapters to read
and my family haven't even seen the
book"
Il don't care; am going to take it
anyway. Bob has told SO much about
it and he is coming over tomorrow
evening / must be able to discuss 1t
with him intellgently. Let me see,
today is Monday. I'll bring 1t back
ON Thursday
But why don't you buy copy II
you are so anxious to read it?'
What! Spend my money for a pop
ular novel when l can borrow 1t from
my dearest friend? Why, that would
be extravagant."
but | have explained to you that
your dearest friend has not yet fin
ished the book and her family hasn't
even seen it. Isn't the owner en-
titled to the first perusal?'
Don't argue the subject, DEAR or
dered Marjory, sweetly. You know
you won't refuse me, especially now
that | have told you Bob is coming
tomorrow evening"
Il suppose I'll have to lend 1t to
you," sighed Dorothy. You always
get your own way. Please understand,
Marjory, that l insist upon having
Untold back by Thursday at the
latest"
Il PROMISE" laughed Marjory, kiss
ing her friend. Then she hurried away
with the book under her arm.
The following Thursday afternoon
Marjory asked her mother: Have
you seen brown book called Untold
anywhere? 1t was on my desk this
morning when / went to my French
lesson, and it isn't there now"
Yes, dear" replied Mrs. Morton.
Your Aunt Martha was here after you
left and she borrowed it. She said she

flung back hotly. II would not be-
friends with him If you chose him"
That night he rode down to Laurie's
home. 1t was bright moonlight, a
wonderful glowing orange-colored
moon mounting slowly behind the
ragged edge of woodland. And in It's
mellow light he saw Laurie standing
on the veranda, both her hands rest
ing on Malcolm's shoulders, and her
face raised to him. Her back was
towards him, but he knew every line
of her figure, and the light seemed to
die out of his life as he gazed at them.
He leaned his head down on the
old rock wall with groan. Virginia
Creeper covered 1t, but the vines had
hardly one clinging crimson leaf now.
And suddenly he heard some one
speak his name, Laurie's voice, bit
tremulous and startled. "Emmons,
what is it?" She put out her hands
to him. Il was with Hardy down In
the village"
Where's Malcolm?"
Il haven't any idea. Why?"
81 saw him there on the porch with
you, just now.'
Not with me-with mother" She
laid one hand on his shoulder pity
ingly. you silly boy. Mother was
just comforting him."
He caught her two hands close IN
his crushing grip.
II thought it was you, Laurie. DO
you mean you've told him"
Laurie nodded.
do you know what you've done,
dear heart? I'm the scapegrace. Dad
always said l was, and yet he was
good to me. I've run wild with his
money and my life, and now l lose 1t
all and you too"
Not me, Emmons." Her face was
uplifted to his, but he made no at
tempt to kiss her. Il told Malcolm |
had made my choice. He went straight
to mother then. And she knows-I
think she knew before | did myself
But | may be cut off from every
share in the old estate"
I'm not marrying the estate" laugh
ed Laurie softly.
Half an hour later they stole into
the shadowy living room where Mrs.
Carrollton sat alone before the open
fire. She listened to Emmons In 81
lence while Laurie knelt beside her,
her face on her shoulder
1T doesn't seem fair to ask Laurie,
to be my wife, though, on account OF
fathers clause in the will and | know
1t was put in to keep me straight
Il happen to know what 1t says,
Emmons boy" smiled back Mrs. Car.
rolton, affectionately. Your father
read it to me. Both of you boys are
dear to me, so 1t made no difference
which one Laurie chose. The clause
merely states that In the event OF
either one marrying Laurie an extra
fifty thousand Is added to his share,
and the homestead at Mount Ranzer."
Slowly a dawning smile overspread
Emmons' boyish face. He slipped one
arm around Laurie and drew her up
to him.
Poor old Malcolm" he said, with
deep feeling.

Mot SeekIno Fame,

An official of the Indian bureau at
Washington tells story to illustrate
the Indians view Of newspaper fame.
1t appears that one Hanley, a Duluth
timberman, was In charge of big
drive on the st. Croix river, and that
on one occasion there was tremend-
ous lam In the vicinity Of Taylor'A
Falls. The drivers numbered Ave or
six Indians, in addition to the white
men. While proceeding with his work
of inspection, Hanley passed the Red
men, and called out to them:
See here, my men! Break that jam
and I'll put your names in the paperl"
One Indian grinned broadly and
said; six Indians dead In paper, but
we not see it!"-Illustrated Sunday

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
SOFIA, July IA Roumanian
army is marching upon Sofia and IN
less there is q peaceful settlement in
the meantime the Bulgarian capital
will be occupied next week.
The residents of the city are panic
stricken and in hostile mooG
against the government for suppress
ing newspapers during the fighting
between Bulgarians and Servians and
Greeks in Macedonia. 1t was not un-
til to-day that the people learned that
the BulgarS have been crushed at ev-
cry point.
An attempt was made to assassi-
nate DR.. Daneff, former Premier, as
he was on his way to confer with
President GuechOfI
Car Ferdinand is reported to be
preparing to evacuate the city.
So far as Servia and Greece are
concerned the Balkan war is believed
to be over, but Roumanian troops
continue to pour into the eastern part
of Bulgaria. These troops are fresh
and fully equipped for fighting and
are eager to clash with the Bulga-
rians. The shattered Bulgarian
forces are no match for the Rouma-
mans.
The Roumanians have occupied the
Bulgarian towns of Turtukai, Dob
ridsh and Baltchik There is no re-
sistance to the advance of the Rou-
manian forces.

ATTORNEYS PASS
LIE AND BLOWS
IN MACON
Solicitor General Ross and Law
yer Harris Clash Over Trial
of Vice Cases.

MACON, July 12.-Attorney Jesse
c. Harris brought about a sudden
adjournment of the special criminal
session of the Bibb Superior Court
yesterday afternoon by calling So
licitor John T. Ross a liar and strik-
ing him in the face in the court
room. Harris was fined $50 for con-
tempt of court and also censured by
Judge Mathews for his conduct.
Harris represented fifteen women
of the restricted district who are
charged with operating disorderly
houses. In moving for a continuance
of these cases, he declared that So
licitor Ross would not call the cases
represented by any other lawyers but
was seeking solely to prosecute those
represented by him (Harris).
That's a falsehood, your honor"
interposed the Solicitor.
You're a liar" shouted Attorney
Harris, striking the Solicitor in the
face.
Deputies seized both men imme-
diately.
He's a dirty little scoundrel; let
me hit him once" shouted Solicitor
Ross, but was restrained.
Judge Mathews held that the jury
was prejudiced in the matter of try
ing any of the defendants represent
ed by Harris, and as Solicitor Ross
refused to call any other cases,
though stating that he was prepared
for trial in all of them, the court
was adjourned for the term and all
parties discharged. The Solicitor
stated that Harris represented all of
the prominent defendants, and that
he did not propose to try the lesser
and weaker defendants first. There
are stars OF varying magnitude in
Tybee (the vice district) as we'll as
in glory" he said.

Tricks 5 Women

DENVER, COLO, July 12.-Five
young women of this city to-day are
wondering how 1t all happened, while
c. f. Thompson, of Macon, Ga, is in
prison contemplating the danger of a
too vivid imagination.
Three weeks ago Thompson landed
in Denver it is said, with just $40 in
pocket Of his one and only suit
Within the course of a few days he
had become engaged to four women,
had picked out costly trousseaus for
each and had made arrangements TO
purchase two high priced automo-
biles.
Thursday he became engaged to the
fifth young woman, after pawning a
photograph which he had obtained
under false pretenses. This put the
detectives on his trail Now he is in
Jail, with prospects of a later trip TO
Canon City Penitentiary.
