CHAPTER XxXV.
hen Knighthood Was in Flower

"Nhen Knighthood Was In Flower"
THE tournament ball at Damory
Court that night was more than
an event The old mansion was an
Irresistible magnet. The floor of its
yellow parlor was known to be of de-
lectable hugeness. Its gardens were a
legend. The whole place, moreover,
was stepped in the very odor of old
mystery and new romance. Small
wonder that to this particular affair
the elect--the major was high GUS
todian of the rolls, his decision being
as the laws of the Modes and Per-
sians--came gaily from the farthest
county line and the big houses of
the neighborhood were crammed with
overnight guests.
BY half past nine o'clock the
phalanx of chaperones decreed by old
custom had begun to arrive, and the
great iron gate at the foot of the drive
erect and rustless now-SaW an i'm
POSING professional of carriages.
These passed up slope as radiant
with the fairy light of paper lanterns
as a Japanese thoroughfare in festival
season. The colored bulbs swung
moon-like from tree and shrub, paint
ing their rainbow lustres on grass and
driveway. Under the high gray
columns of the porch and into the
wide door, framed in its small loaded
panes that glowed with the merry
light within, poured stream of love-
illness, in carriage wraps of light tints,
collared and edged with fur or elder,
or wide-seeved mandarin coats fall

arms, her hair swathed with chiffon
against the night dews, and calamity
cavaliered by masculine black and
white.
These from their firing rooms over
flowed presently. CARRIED like dreams
to make obeisance to the dowaSers
and then to drift through fiower-lined
corridors, the foam on recurrent
waves of discovery. Behind the rose
bower in the hall, which shielded a
dozen colored musicians - violins
cello, guitars and mandolins-came
premonitory chirps and shivers
which presently wove into the low
and dreamy melody of Garry Me

Right-Handed Plant.

leaf was found to twist TO the left in
SIS per cent. of more than 12.OOO seed

growth was found also in millet and

FULLER'S EARTH FOUND
In PANAMA CANAL ZONE

An extensive deposit of fuller's
earth has been discovered near
Gatun, Canal Zone, on land owned
by the United States.
The peculiar value of the deposit
lies in its location on the edge of
Gatun Lake convenient for shipment.
Fuller's earth is now imported into
the United States from England,
where the largest deposits have here
tofore been found.

WHY MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Editor The Gcorgian:
No doubt many of US. after taxi
ing the name Of God in vain and
living life of disobedience to
Him, trampling His mercies under
our unhallowed feet, would be very
glad to plead insanity, weakness or
great love for sin Overpowered us,
and escape that everlasting pun
ishment. But He who judges ac-
cording to deeds done in the body
will say, Depart from Me. / never
knew you" without reference TO
the question: of sex.
Then, why should Georgia, the
great Empire State of the South,
whose laws are supposed to be
based on the divine law, make any
difference in reference to sex in its
case against Mrs. Kathrine King,
the Jones county slayer of her nus
band?
If her confession is true, from
my point of view. she did a great
er crime and deserves a more Sc
we're punishment than that of her
-conspirator Mrs. King not only
deceived a true and faithful hus-
band, but she fell from the holy
state of motherhood and disgraced
her offspring.
If an all-Wise God, who created
both male and female in His own
image, applies the divine law inn
partially and without reference TO
sex, / see no reason why the laws
Of the land should not be applied
inpartially and without reference
to sex. T. A. SEXTON.
