The Story.

a HG OSVAys
While on a hunting trip in North
India, George Hamilton and his daugh-
ter, Sarah, find native hut in which
a woman has just died. Her little
daughter, crying besides her mothers
body, touches the heart of the man
and he takes her to his home in Cal
cutta. She grows up into most beau
tiful young girl, but is used as SER
want by Sarah Hamilton. Captain Car
ruthers, a doctor in the British army,
is engaged to Sarah and on his calls
at her house is very kind to the little
orphan, Aissa. This Is SO different to
the treatment she is used to, that she
expresses deep devotion that will
last as long as she lives. Sarah is Of
a very cold disposition and, though en-
gagged to Carruthers, does not seem to
care very much for him. She strikes
Aissa in fit of temper and the doc
tor reproves her for it. To make him
jealous she flirts with one of the of
ficers Of the regiment. She discovers
that this officer is very rich and throws
Carruthers over to try to win him.
Carsuthers, suffering from a fever,
sees Sarah flirting and in fit of tenn
per strikes his superior officer, badly
wounding him. Some Of the soldiers
see the scene and report to the COM
mander, who orders Carruthers ar
rest. Aissa trys to persuade Carruthers
to escape, but he refuses. She puts
one of the native drugs in a glass Of
water he has asked for, and as he be-
comes unconscious has him carried of
by some of his native servants to
whom she has explained his predica-
ment. They take him to the mountains
where he regains his strength, but is
afraid to return on account of his ac-
tion. Sarah achieves her purpose and
marries the rich officer, Colonel Allen.
On hunting trip later, the Colonel
is seized by an attack Of appendicitis.
The party do not know what to do, as
they are very far from medical aid.
A native beater tells them of won
derful man who lives in the next val
ley, who has been healing all the ma
tives who have been sick. They beside
to take the Colonel to him as a last
resort. They ride OFF without waiting
cor Mrs. Allen. On their arrival al

CAUGHT RED-HANDED
VIII Lee Caught BY Policeman Smith
Last Saturday.

There was a furry Of excitement
among the housekeeprs on Monroe
Street last Saturday morning, on dsl-
covering that many or their chickens
had been Gifted" from the roost the
night before. and a few hours later,
after being notified by Chief Parks
that the thief had been caught and
that dozen or so OF chickens were at
the City Hall awaiting Identification,
they went there to claim their prop
erty.
On that morning about daylight,
Policeman j. b. Smith saw negro
with a sack on his shoulders acting
suspiciously, and headed him off on
upper Main Street, He proved to be
Will Lee, an old offender.
What have you got in that sack?"
asked Mr.. Smith.
Nothing but hay, boss"
Mr.. Smith gave the sack vigorous
punch, and loud squawk revealed
its contents, and locked him up. On
being tried before Mayor Campbell
he was fined s75 and given thirty
days, which means that he will do
time for the county for several months.
The fowls were returned to their
owners, but Lee evidently had a con-
federate, as many more had been
stolen.

YAzoo VS.. GREENWOOD.
High. School Football Team Defeats
Greenwood 80 to 0.


In spite Of the fact that the Green
wood boys had the reputation Of put
ting up the strongest High School foot
ball team in the State, they proved to
be easy meat for the. Yazoo team. The
Yazoo boys got the jump on them and
in the first three minutes Of play they
had scored touchdown. They failed to
kick goal from 1t, but the game was
never in doubt after that. The boys all
played star foot ball, but HritEes,
Warren and Hinman made s1I1lN a
the finest line plulges and cd r11&
OF the game. The YaSoo bacllI
the best without doubt Of any High
School in the State. The boys on the
line also played n good game, bu:
theirs is not such spectacular work as
taht of the back field and they cannot
SO easily be named as to just who did
the best work. Griffin at quarter, play-
cd good, heady game Of foot ball,
and showed good judgment in selecting
his plays.
The Yazoo boys have been under
the direction Of Mr.. George Dreschler
and they would be a credit to any
coach. They are In Canton today and
that they will win by decisive score
Is not much doubted. Thanksgiving
day they will play the Jackson High
School team here in Yazoo City and
everyone who can should 60 down
and see them win tho championship Of
the State. Help the boys out by your
presence as you viii derive much
pleasure from the game, besides help
ing the boys with the small admission
fee of twenty-five cents.

The Contestants Are Working Hard,
1t seems for a while that none of
the contestants were very anxious for
the automobile and other valuable
prizes to be awarded by the Yazoo
City Herald, but now we'eve changed
our minds. They are about the livest
bunch we have seen in long time.
Each one Of them have friends and
relatives who are determined to see
their favorite win the car, and they
are working hard securing subscrip-
tions for their favorite. Truly, there
is going to be genuine battle of bal
lots from now until the contest closes
between the contestants and their
friends. Get the fight, is our advice,
There are no dunn dun bullets being
used--this friendly fight--it's differ
ent from the fighting across the water.

'ot recognize the Colonel, as he has
grown a beard to hide the scar given
him in the fight. Carruthers consents
to perform the operation. Just after
he has started Mrs. Allen (Sarah)
rushes in. She recognizes Carruthers
and he finds out for the first time on
whom he is operating. He is very
much tempted TO let the Colonel die,
but Aissa brings him to his senses. He
inishes the operation and pronounces
it successful. The Colonel regains con-
seriousness and, recognizinz Caruthers,
starts to sit up. The movement causes
bleeding in the wound and his death,
not, however, before he begs Carruth-
ers forgiveness. Sarah does not seem
to mind the death Of her husband and
asks Carruthers to return to civilza-
tion with her and be as he was before.
Carruthers spurns her request, and
turning to Aissa proclaims that he
will make her his bride as she has
shown that she is a much better wo-
nan than any other he has ever met.

To the Patrons Of Yaxoo Theatre:
"The Perils Of Pauline" becomes
more and more interesting as the story
goes on. We would urge you to come
to this theatre to see them. They are
wholesome, clean, and yet intensely
thrilling. The standing Of the players
should alone guarantee the produc-
tions. They are pictures you can safe
ly bring your wife, your sweetheart
or your children to see. There Is no
vulgarity--nothing to put foolish
ideas into anyone's head. But the ac-
tion is fast and spectacular, with
streak Of villainy which makes the
love Of Pauline and Harry stand out
in strong contrast. We urge you to
come to see "The Perils Of Pauline"
You will be more than pleased.
Very respectfully,
