seen by local politicians Tuesday
in the election of Robert T. Pace

Mayor Woodward. whose vote broke
the tie between Mr.. Pace and Marcel

opinion as to the effect the election Of
Mr.. Pace and Mr.. Clarke would have
on the future policies Of the Police
Board.
He declared, however, that their Sc

dence that the people of Atlanta are
getting tired OF senseless and cease
less agitation, and that Council has
begun to recognize this feeling on the
part OF their constituents.
People Tired of Agitation.
"The people of Atlanta want a
clean, business government" said
Mayor Woodward. "and they want
this agitation to cease. The election
OF Mr.. Pace certainly evinces a dis
position on the part of Council to give
the city a sane business government.

The way was paved Tuesday for

IN BLIZZARD
GROWING
East Left in Icy ShackIes-New
York Tries to Dig Itself
From Snow.

NEW YORK, March S.-A bright
sun and rising temperature gave aid
to New York to-day in its desperate
efforts to break the icy shackles
placed upon the nations metropolis
by the worst blizzard since 1888, while
reports trickling in over repaired but
still tottering telephone and telegraph
wires showed that the death list as
result of the storm in States along
the coast will reach so and may go
much higher.
The damage in the East as a result
Of the blizzard is expected to reach
fully 100000 600. The cost OF removal

Ships are ashore at various points
on the Atlantic coast and many small
craft were sunk IN the lee. With the
abatement Of xind. tugs put out from
this port to search for a string Of
missing barges, carrying % men,
which became lost in the blizzard off
Fire Island.
The chief aftermath OF the blizzard
in this city lay in the attempts to re-
store the streets and traffic to some
thing normal.
Mayor Mitchell is snowbound in the
Adirondack Mountains. Vice Presi
dent Marshall, snowbound here, was
separated from his wife for a night
for the first time in eighteen years by

1000 Clearing Streets.
Street Cleaning Commissioner
Fetherston employed a force OF 1000
men, who at daybreak attacked the
14-inch layer Of snow in the principal
streets Every available wagon was
pressed into service, but with all the
agencies working under pressure 1t
was believed that it will be two weeks
before conditions here are near nor
NAL. If further snow falls in the
meantime, the plight OF the city will
be acute.
Interurban traffic was quickly re-
lieved of congestion after the snow
ceased falling, but steam traffic on all
sides OF this city was still seriously
crippled because OF the wreckage

A number OF ships overdue as a re-
suit Of the gale and at least 80 boats
are at sea which ought to have been
moored at their docks Sunday or yes

Hudson River, East River and the
harbor paralyzed shipping.
All the charitable institutions for
the shelter OF the homeless were taxed
to capacity during the right. Indus

clergymen to throw open their doors
for the benefit Of the homeless. About
1000 men women and children sought
shelter at various institutions.

trfls filled with a curious but not un-
pleasant aromatic odor with which the
place was strongly impregnated. The
hall ran the full length of the build
ing, and in its center a wide, balus-
traded double staircase led to upper
darkness. The floor, where his foot
prints had disturbed the even gray
film of dust. was of fine close par
quetry and had been generously
strewn everywhere with a mica-like
powder. He stopped and took up a
pinch in his fingers, noting that it
gave forth the curious spicy scent.
Dim paintings in furnished frames
hung on the walls. From a niche on
the break of the stairway looked down
the face Of a tall Dutch clock, and on
one side protruded a huge bullying
something draped with a yellowed
linen sheet. From its shape he
guessed this to be an elk's head. Dust,
undisturbed, lay thickly on everything,
ghostly floating cobwebs crawled
across his face, and a bat fitted out
of a fireplace and vanished squeak
ing over his head. With Uncle JEFF
f%erson's help he opened the rear doors
and windows, knocked up the rusted
belts of the shutters and flung them
wide.
But for the dust and cobwebs and
the strange odor, mingled with the
faint musty smell that pervades a sun

less interior, the former owner of the
house might have deserted it a week
ago. On a wall-rack lay two walking
sticks and a gold-mounted hunting
crop, and on a great carved chest
below it had been flung an opened
book bound in fooled leather. John
Valiant picked this up curiously. It
was Lucille" He noted that here
and there passages were marked with
penciled lines-some light and femi-
ninety delicate, some heavier, as
though two had been reading it to-
gether, noting their individual prefer
ences.
He laid it back musingly, and open
ing a door, entered the large room it
disclosed. This had been the dining
room. At one end stood a crystal
knobbed mahogany sideboard, holding
glass candlesticks in the shape of
Ionic columns-above it a quaint por-
trait of a lady In hoops and love-
curls-and at the other end was a
huge fireplace with rust-red fre-dogs
and furnished brass fender. All these,
with the round centipede table and
the Chippendale chairs set in order
against the walls, were dimmed and
grayed with a thick %powdering Of dust.
The next room that he entered was
big and wide, a place of dark colors,
nobly smutched of time. 1t had been
at once library and living-room. A
great leather settee was drawn near
the desk and beside this stood a read
ing-stand with a small china dog and
a squat bronze lamp upon it. In con-
trast to the orderly dining-room there
was about this chamber a sense OF
untouched disorder-a desk-drawer
jerked half-open, a yellowed news
paper torn across and flung into a cor
ner, books tossed on desk and lounge,
and in the fireplace a little heap OF
whitened ashes in which charred frag-
ments told of letters and papers
burned in haste.
Suddenly he lifted his eyes. Above
the desk hung a life-size portrait of a
man, in the high soft stock and vel
vet collar of half a century before.
The right eye, strangely, had been cut
from the canvas He stood straight
and tall, one hand holding an eager
hound in leash, his face proud and
horid, lis single. cold, steel-blue eye
staring down through its dusty curtain
with a certain malicious arrogance,
and his lips set in a sardonic curve

there, mutely challenging his entrance
into that tomb-like and housekeeping

subtly attracted. II wonder who you

Perhaps you were wicked. But you

on his forehead. Setting his teeth
hard. he crossed the room, slipped the
box with its pistol between the vol
umes of the bookcase, and returned to
his seat.

head. why should the touch of that
fool thing chill my spine and make

For a long while he sat there, his
pipe dead, his eyes on the moon
lighted out-of-doors. The Gerry feel
ing that had gripped him had gone as
quickly as 1t had come. At last he
rose, stretching himself with a great
boyish yawn. put out all save n of
the candles and taking a b~ath-robe,
sandals and a huge fuzzy towel from
the steamer-trunk, stripped leisurely.
He donned the bath-robe and sandals
and went out through the window to
the garden and down to where lay the
little lake ruffling silverly under the
moon. On its brink he stopped, and
tossing back his head, tried to imi-
tate one of the bird-calls but was un-
successful. With a rueful laugh he
threw off the bath-robe and stood an
instant glistening. poised in the moor
light like a marble faun, before he
dove, straight down out Of sight.
Five minutes later he pulled him.

Cling with the chill of the water, and
threw the robe about his cool white
shoulders. Then he thrust his feet
into his sandals and sped quickly
back. He rubbed himself to a glow,
and blowing out the remaining can
die, stretched himself luxuriously be-
tween the warm blankets on the
couch. The dog shifted inquiringly at
his hand, then leaped up and snug
gled down close to his feet.
John Valiant's thoughts had fled a
thousand miles away, to the tall girl
who all his life had seemed to stand
out from his world, aloof and unsur-
passed-Katharine Fargo. He tried to
picture her, a perfect ~chatelaine, grace
full and gracious as a tall, white, splen-
did lily, in this dead house that
seemed still to throb with living pas
sions. But the picture subtly eluded
him and he stirred uneasily under the
blanket.
After a time his hands stretched out
to the reading-stand and drew the
glass with its vivid blossom nearer,
till, in his nostrils, its musky odor
mingled with the dew-wet scent of
the honeysuckle from the garden. At
last his eyes closed. Every man al

The Hunt.
He awoke to a musical twittering
and chirping, to find the sun pouring
into the dusty room in a very glory.
He rolled from the blanket and stood
upright. filling his lungs with a long
deep breath of satisfaction. He felt
singularly light-hearted and alive. The
Bulldog came bounding through the
window, dirty from the weeds, and
flung himself upon his master In q
canine rapture.

ing. Stop licking my feeti How the
dickens do you suppose I'm to get into

going on? Down, I say! Hark!" He
broke Off and listened. who's that
singing?"
The sound drew nearer-a lugu-
brious chant, with the weirdest minor
reflections, family suggestive of the
rag-time ditties of the music-halls, yet
with a plsintive cadence.
Good morning, Uncle Jefferson"
The singer broke of, set down the
twig-broom that he had been welding
and came toward him. "Mawnin', sub.
