peevishness. The best nerves and

"Mr. Kayton," nterposed the lawyer,
"do you see anything significant In
that telephone message"
Kayton stared Mt the lawyer for
moment or two MS II he had never seen
him before His abstraction seemed
complete. Then his eyes slowly re-
turned to Argyle's and he said slowly:
"Then you don't know Of any way 10
which you can corroborate your state
ment that you left here about 10 o'clock
and spent the rest OF the night In your
studio"
Bruce was silent, and Kayton waited.

In low voice

Again there was the barest hesita-

that spring is here in all its glory of
gold and green.
The bridesmaids wore yellow satin
,, draped with chiffon, with gloves and
shoes to match. and carried armfuls
of yellow flowers. The maid of hon.
or, Miss Cappie King, wore a charm
ing gown of hand painted tissue cloth
oyer satin in softest green.
The bride was never lovelier than
in her stately wedding gown OF white
charmeuse made en- traine and drap-
ed with chiffon and old lace, with
handsome pearl trimmings. The
long veil was held in place by a
crown of orange blossoms. The bride
carried white roses and maiden hair
fern, entering on the arm of her
maid of honor.
The groom came in with Mr. Kirk
Cockfeld as best man, meeting the
bride at the altar. the impressive
ring ceremony being used.
The other attendants were: Miss
Lila Eaddy with Mr. Clarence Davis.
Miss Cornelia Cockfield with Mr. Fitz-
hugh Eaddy and Miss Myrtle Poston
with Mr. Eddie Venters.
Immediately after the ceremony q
delightful reception was rendered

Several Prizes.

Benson, April 7: Just a short
time previous to the athletic meet
at Lanes, Cedar Swamp school began
practicing during the afternoons tor
the occasion. Some of the boys
showed such marked activity that
Miss Bethea and Mr. L H McCul-
Tough, who had charge of the train
ing, decided that Liston and Preston
Howard would be the easy winners
for the high jump in the contest.
They were not wrong in this conjec-
ture, for with ease and agility Liston
made a high, elastic spring, cleared
a feet and 8 inches, taking first prize
with Preston close second. Des-
mond Tisdale, a student of the same
school, is rather heavily built and
takes long strides while casually
walking, and one would scarcely
Judge him to be a swift runner; but
when on the track for a race his
mettlesome spirit rises, as it were,
and fills him with determination to
win. He made the 220 yards. or l-S
of a mile, in 80 seconds, coming out
second, however. Later, ne made a
LOG yard dash in 1S 3-5 seconds, be-
ing the easy winner.
In the apple race for the girls
Eula Mccullough was ahead in the
first division and Mabelle Rembert
in the second division. But in the
second race Eula tied for first place.
In the spelling contest one by one
