There was heavy shutting step In
the hall, and the two looked up to see
HeSsa's numbering form filling the
doorway. Her black fingers neryously
smoothed the crisp folds of her white
apron, and the snow turban that sur
mounted her dusky face shook tremn
lousy.
Something in the old servants atti-
tude- something in the frightened an.
certainty of her round face-revealed
to the colonel and his wife the nature
of Hessa's errand. 1t had come at
last-the final blow-the desertion OF
these two faithful retainers.
"Come in, Hessa," said Mrs. Par
tidge gently.
Hessa leaned for support against the
Colonel Partridge.
"Scusc me, Marse Kunnel,' she
said hurriedly, but tomorrow am Dc
day when Marse Linkum pernounces

The colonel carefully counted the
gold into two piles and, gathering one
into a heap. tossed it into the canvas
bag and knotted the string around it.
"Hessa. here is sum of money for

COURAGE C|TY'S
AID, SAYS JUDGE
w. E. Thomas Compliments
Atlanta on Its Great Moral
Force.

Courage is what makes Atlanta men
attractive. ana the city of Atlanta de-
sirable, thinks Judge W. f. Thomas,
of Valdosta, who is sitting this week
in the Fulton county superior court in
the place of Judge Roam.
It is not the quality known as
nerve" that he refers to- but sort
Of moral intrepidity that is striking,
he says 1t is the spirit of the city.
He pointed out as an instance that
Chief Beavers and his work in At
lanta toward a better moral tone is
not an individual force altogether, but
is representative Of the general atti-
tude and spirit of a majority of Atlanta
citizens
Judge Thomas said the spirit is
easily evident.
1T Is reflected in the high order of
men that make up the juries in Atlanta
court" he said 4 come in contact
with these men usually, and am i'm
pressed with this quality of superb
GRITTY.
"AI this makes my own work easier,
you see. For a Judge TO have juries
intelligent, comprehending and want
ing to comprehend the phases Of the
cases which come before them, and
very plainly conscientious-all these
are things to be desired in men. And
find them here. In this respect. At
lanta is beyond most large cities.
Courage is what makes Atlanta men
attractive. The quality makes the city
unique, in that it does things that its
conscience says is best"
Believing in giving honor when and
to whom it is due, Judge Thomas has
complimented juries on their verdicts
several times within the few days he
has served in the Fulton county court.
Promptness and efficiency seems to
have governed them, he said today.
