place as very reliable, and here there
would be no danger Of having the
stones changed.
And now, as she was about to take
the subway on her way back, the

She had not been in the office since
their marriage. Twice during their en-
gasement she had gone down. once he
had taken her and once she had sur
prised him by calling unexpectedly.
She remembered how pleased he had
been-how he had dropped everything
and devoted himself to her, and took
her out TO luncheon.
She caught a glimpse Of herself in
the mirror of a shop window. She was
loo1ing very well, her trim tailored
suit, and dark blue hat with it's white
wing was most becoming. She adjust

touches TO her hair and hurried on.

Berlin, June l3.-As a result of CO.
operation between German police and
the officials ard employees of the rail
roads, the government today began
laying its lines for mercilesS pcrse-
cution for a number of white Slav-
crs." Already several cases have
been concluded and number of those
who have piled the export trade in
women and young girls today began
serving limit sentences, some ~
which are as long as 40 years. Owing
to ignorance and poverty, some OF the
provinces have been among the prin-
cipIe recruiting grounds for the slav-
ers. The latter had strong organl-
cations throughout the country and 1t
has only been with great difficulty
thai the government has succeeded Ii
ferreting them out.
Scores Of young girls, deceived by
promises of marriage, big wages, anu
forged letters purportlng to come
from relatives in America have easily
been induced to slip away with the
recruiting agents who were some
times women but more often men.
Hundreds of eases OF young girls DIS
appearing, have been reported 10 the
police. Few Of the victims have ever
been heard from.

Hutchinson, had recently become the

PRINCIPAL Of HIGH
SCHOOL RET|RES
Dr.. L. M. Blackford is Sue
ceeded by Prof. A. r.
HoXton.
43 YEARS IN SERVICE.
Retiring Head of Institution Will Now
Enjoy Well-Earned Rest From La
bOrs and Cares.

After service of forty-three years,
Dr. Launcelot Minor Blackford has
resigned as principal Of the Episcopal
High School three miles west of this
city. DR.. Blackford announced his re-
tirement at the seventy-fourth annual
commencement of the institution,
which was held yesterday. He will
be succeeded by Prof. a. r. Hox-
ton, son of the late Colonel Lewellyn
Hoxton, formerly associate principal
Of the school.
Dr. Blackford has had memorable
career as an educator Of boys. He
was born at Fredericksburg, Va, Feb
ruary 23, 1897, and received his edu-
cation at private schools and at the
University of Virginia, from which in
s.itution he received the degree of
Master of ARES in the year 1860. At
the outbreak of the war between the
states he enlisted as a private in
the Rockbridge Artillery and saw
four years of service under the Con-
federacy, ending with the rank of
captain.
After teaching for five years fol-
lowing the close of the war at the
Norwood School in Nelson county, he
came to the Episcopal High School,
where he has seen constant service
ever since. Dr.. Rlackford has devote
ed his life to the instruction of
bows and their character building,
and bv his efforts has made the Epls-
copal High School the foremost pre-
raratorv school in the state. 1t was
he who inaugurated the honor system
at the school as far back as 1870.
In the year 1904 the degree of IL. d.
was conferred upon him by Washing
ton and Lee University.
While Dr.. Blackfori has of course,
resided on Seminary Hill during the
past As years, he has been look
ed upon as an Alexandrian, and has
been as familiar figure in our streets
as if native and 10 the manner born.
He has ever manifested interest in
this city, and served many years as
vestrvman of Christ Church
While Dr.. Blackford's labors were,
of course, mainly centered in the
school over which he has so long pre-
sided, he has ever played his part as
a general educator, and communlca-
tions from his pen have often appear
Cd in the Gazette and been read with
pleasure by thousands. His ooServa-
tons upon passing events were al
WAYS timely and practical.
Dr.. Blackford, while not giope
trotter, up to few years ago, spent
his vacations in Europe, and his let
,ers from foreign capitals publish
od IN the Gazette were read with in
tares,. and were the means OF IN
ducinc numbers of Alexandrlans 10
60 abroad.
His many friends and acquaintance
sincerely hope that now that the sna-
dows are lengthening upon hlm that
his evening Of life may be prolonged
and that he may live and move ana
have his being among US Tor years
to come.
