CHAPTER vII.-contlnued,


In the meantime old Mrs. Jefferson
had been looking on with absorbed
attention, desperately seeking to tri-
umph over her enemy, deaf demon
that for years had taken possession OF
her. Now, with an impatient hand,
she bent her wheel-chair to her daugh-
terra side and preferred her ear trum-
pet
Mother" Mrs. Gregory called
through this ebony connector of souls,
This Is Fran Derry. the daughter OF
Mr. Gregory's dear friend, one he used
to know in New York. many years be-
tore he came to Littleburg. Fran is
an orphan, and needs a home. We
hhve asked her to live with US"
Mrs. Jefferson did not always hear
Alright. but she always responded with
as much spirit as II her hearing were
never in doubt. "And what I'd like
to know she cried, is what you are
asking her to give us"
Grace Noir came forward with quiet
resolution. Let me speak to your
mother" she said to Mrs. Gregory.
Mrs. Gregory handed her the tube,
somewhat surprised, since Grace made

CHAPTER vii.
War Declared.

The April morning was brimming
with golden sunshine when Fran
looked from the window OF her second
story room. Eager for the first morn
ing's view of her new home, she stared
at the half-dozen cottages across the
street, standing back in picket-fenced
yards with screens of trees before
their window-eyes. They showed only
as bits OF weather-boarding or gleam-
ing fragments of glass, peeping
through the bougfis. She thought ev-
erything homelike. neighborly. These
houses seemed to her closer to the

any rate, closer in the sense of broth
erhood. She drew deep breath of
pungent April essence and mdrmured:
What world to live I'M"
Fran had spoken in all sincerity
in declaring that she wanteu nothing
but home; and when she went down
to breakfast it was with the expecta-
ton that every member of the family
would pursue his accustomed routine,
undef1ected by her presence. She was
willing that they should remain what
they were, just as she expected to
| continue without change; however,
not many days passed before she found
herself seeking to modify her sur
roundings. If strange mouse be inn

and action, found adjustment exceed.

Fran thought of the young superin.
tendent, and said she was willing.
When Mr. Gregory and the secretary
had retired to the library for the day'e
work, Mrs. Gregory told Fran, Il real
ly think, dear, that your dresses are
much too short. You are small, but
your face and manners and even your
voice, sometimes, seem old--guite
old"
Fran showed the gentle lady soft
docility. Well" she said, my legs
are there, all the time, you know. and
I'll show just as much of them, or
just as little, as you please"
Simon Jefferson spoke up-.I like
to see children wear short dresses"

with approval. That day, she was

broadened to an oval brow, the chin

gazing helplessly at the girl with
something of a child's awe inspired by
venerable years. 1t was pathetic APP

and the hungry souls fed SO that
they might be able to put up
with the hardships that are put
upon them through the six work
days. But instead of this the

green WILL AVIATE
IN CARDUl FLYER
At CHATTANOOGA
ConId'r'te Reunion Committee, With
Cooperation Of Chattanooga Med
icine Co., Has Arranged For
Three Air Ship Flights over Inc
Veterans Camps

Chattanooga, Tenn, May II.
Confederate Veterans going to
the Chattanooga Reunion this
month will have an opportunity
of deciding for themselves what
it feels like TO have war aero
plane fly over a military camp.
Johnnie Green, the famous av-
iator, has been employed by the
Reunion Entertainment Com
mittee to make three flights in
his 10 horsepower war aeroplane,
"Cdrdui Flyer No. e" over the
Parks in which the Confederate
Veterans will be encamped. The
cost Of the fight is co.opperated
in by the Chattanooga Medicine
Co, with the idea of helping to
entertain visitors during The Re.
union.
Military men agree that the
battle of Chickamauga might
very well have ended differently
if war aeroplanes had been in
use at that time. The Veterans
who are to be the guests of the
city of Chattanooga in May, will
have ample time to discuss this
interesting question, as they go
over each phase of the battle on
the field where the conflict can
be so easily reconstructed with
the aid of the hundreds of tablets,
monuments and markers, that
the Government has so carefully
placed at all strategic points.

Program for State Teachers ASSOcia'
ton in Columbia.

R. G.. Burts, president of the State
Teachers Association of South Caro-
lima, announces that the plans and
program for the meeting to be held
in Columbia March 13 and IA are
completed. Below is given an out
line of the program, which promises
to be one of the most interesting and
helpful that has ever been held.
Teachers from the entire State will
be present and indications are that
there will be a record breaking at
tendance.
On the opening evening the prin-
cipal address will be made by former
superintendent of Education O. B..
Martin, who for the past few years
has been doing effective work in the
employ of the farm demonstration
work, especially interested in the boys
clubs, and DR.. J. Labruce. Ward,
of the State board of health, who is
widely known for his work for the
public health. On Friday at the Sec
ond session Supt. J. E. Swearingen IS
to address the association, and fol-
lowing his address there will be a
general discussion of some Of the live
educational problems of the State,
giving opportunity for some Of the
educators of experience to discuss
these. For Friday evening there is a
rare treat for those who attend when
Prof. w. K. Tate is to give an Illus
trated lecture on the schools or
Switzerland. Following this will be
an address by Mr.. L. P. Hollis, Of
Greenville, whose work in the in
dustrial Y. NJ. c.. A. work has be-
come known throughout the nation.
He is to address the association on
the subject of the school-house as a
social center. Saturday morning
will be given over to an executive
session, not simply the routine OF
electing officers, but the laying of
plans for making the association
more effective in it's work.
Reports come from several coun-
ties of the State that the teachers
are working for the membership
banner. The handsome silk banner
will be awarded to the county in
which the largest percentage of
teachers are enrolled as members.
Attendance is not necessary to be
enrolled. Those who pay the mem
bership fee. are counted.
Railroad rates are most reason
able. Three cents a mile plus 23
cents for the round trip will be
charged.
