pUT when it comes to talking abou:
II Bizzy not making good with the
Browns-well, that's something else
again.
OF course. the Browns may have
collected some Hans Wagner junior,
in the off season. Or Bizzy may
strike an empty streak in his hitting.
But unless one of these two unlikely
things happens, it will take a genuine
miracle to keep r. Bisland from play
ing shortstop for st. Louis the coming
season.
AS to coming back to Atlanta-well,
Bizzy can count on fireworks, a band
and a fine assortment of Prominent
Citizens meeting i'm at the depot-if
he comes back.
MR.. W. A. SMITH looked out Of the

two gentlemen visitors, to be perfectly
honest, Miss Wrandall her lawyer, Mr..
Carroll, and-Mr. Booth"
They were seated side by side on
the uncomfortable Louis Seize divan
in the middle of the room.
Perhaps she won't care to see me,
after an audience so fatiguing." said
Miss Wrandall sweetly And SO ex-
asperating," she added, with smile
Hetty looked her perplexity.
But she will see you, Miss Wran-
dall-if you don't mind waiting. 1t is
a business conference they're hav-

An ironic CLEAN appeared in the cor
ner of Vivian's eye. oh she said,
and waited. Hetty smiled uncertain
ly. All at once the tall American girl
was impressed by the wistful, almost
humble look in the Englishwoman's
eyes, an appealing look that caused
her to wonder not little. Like flash
she jumped at an obvious conclusion,
and almost caught her breath. This
girl loved Booth and was losing him!
Vivian exulted for moment and then,
with an impulse she could not quite
catalogue, laid her hand on the others
slim fingers, and murmured somewhat
haziiy: Never mind, never mind!"

The Hollow Of Her Hand.


When Booth called In the afternoon

could see no one-not even him. The
doctor had been summoned during the
night and had returned in the morn
Ing, to find that she had very high
temperature. The butler could not
enlighten Booth further than this,
except to add that a nurse was com

dali, more for the purpose of watching
her symptoms than for anything else.
he believed. At least, SO the doctor
had said.
Two days passed before the dis
tressed young man could get any def
mite news concerning her condition.
He unconsciously began to think of 1t
as a malady, not mere Illness, due
OF course to remark Carroll had
dropped when Sara had told him the
whole truth of the tragedy and Of
her own vindictive plans 1t was
Carroll himself who gave definite re-
port of Sara. He met the lawyer COM
ing away from the apartment when he
called to inquire.
She isn't out of her head, or any
thing like that" said Carroll uneasily,
but she's in bad way, Booth. I'll
tell you what l think is troubling her
more than anything else. Down In her
heart she realizes that Hetty Castle
ton has got to be brought face to face
with the Wrandalls."
'The deuce you say!"
To-day saw her for the first time.
Almost Immediately she asked me IL
I thought the Wrandalls would treat
Hetty fairly IL they ever found out
the truth about her. said thought
they would. didn't have the heart
TO tell her that their grievance un-
doubtedly would be shifted from Hetty
to her, and that they wouldn't be like
ay to forgive her for the stand she'd
taken. She doesn't seem to care. how
ever, what the Wrandalls think of her.
BY the way. have you any influence
over Hetty Castleton3-

Booth.
DO you think she would come If you

more than a loving interest in Miss

Il will cable, of course, but Sara

Several things of note transpired
before noon on Friday.

Mr.. Redmond Wrandall, who met them
at the dock, heaved sigh Of relief.

LICENSED BRILLIANCY.

While the people of the United States
the citizens being intended are amused
and delightfully."- entertained by the cal
toons and carieatures which the brilliant
newspaper artists have drawn and caused
to be reproduced in the various journals
Of the large cities and while some of the
! cartoons and carcatlres may WELD a
( powerful influence through the agency of
satire, etc, there Is grave question
whether those same cartoons and carica.
| lures are not productive OF much damage
: to the United States among the new-com-
! ing aliens OF this country and among all
] the peoples OF the other nations, except
perhaps those people who are learned in
the ways OF political affairs in the United
States. For instance, these new-coming
I aliens and most of the people of the 9th
er nations see brilliant satire on the ad
ministration in Washington, decrept

from the mouth of which protrudes the
face of another official of the government
while near at hand are pencil reproduc-
tions which make the apparent situation
all the more indicative of impotence on
the part OF the men in authority In
Washington. Now those not schooled in
the political game in the free and easy
United States may, and in many cases A
undoubtedly do, look upon such pictures
as virtual attacks on the government of
the nation; they fail TO recognize the dis
tinction between the political party OF
the journal which is reproducing the car
toons and caricatures and the political
party of the men in office. Gradually, II
the thought dawns upon them that the
people OF the United States are not
united in defense of their government il
that the government is more or less of a II
Joke; that there is license and liberty TO
make free with the government; that the
United States is divided against itself. :
As a matter of fact, of course. the car
toons and caricatures simply Indicate a
political attack or the attack of an OPP n

1t is to be noted that a majority OF the
cities of Massachusetts have chosen non.
partisan mayors this year, having re-
moved the office from the pickering of po-
litical parties. Most of the cities, too,
are larger than any municipality in Yer
mont, showing that the non-partisan
principle works out as well in the larger
centers as in the smaller cities. A few
Vermont communities have yet to adopt
the principle, and meanwhile are suffer

During the session of the Vermont leg
