A LARGE DEL LEGATION WILL ASK TODAY FOR
 COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL

school large enough to meet it's growing needs. At least s45.00o will be needed for this purpose and it Is stated that. in- cluding the value of the land to be do- mated. the committee in charge will bring up their subscription to Sl0.o00, leaving the county liable for only one-third of the expense.
 The matter of building county hign school has been agitated before and sites have been suggested at Leeds, Warrior Reebuck Springs and other sections of the county. It is said>that the need of a high school for Jefferson county is very press ing and that wherever a county high school has been established in the state 1t has proven a success.
 Prof. r. M. McNcill. county superin- tendent of education. states there is a great possibility for the county high school and that it is badly needed. He said the matter of location was left to the state loeational board. of which the governor is chairman. but that the board of reve- nue's recommendation always has great weight. Wherever the school is located. it will prove of great benefit to hundreds of the young people of the county who could receive a high school education which, under the present condition. is denied to them. He said the high school would include in its curriculum, besides the regular studies. agriculture, domestic science. manual training and other vo- cational studies.

CHAPTER III.

a # MONDAY Hans, the shepherd

poplar on the hillside, his flock
about him and his dog gazing visit
fully into his cherries face. 1t was
three months since his beloved
Gretchen had lett him to become
dancer AT the theater In Amsterdam.
To uaus Ill seemed an eternity With
on, Gretchen life WAS q mockery,
Hans schmidt a letter for YOU
The rural postman had approached
unobserved He gave to the wonder
ing shepherd boy tho square, white
envelope first Hans had ever re-
ceived-and went on his way. Hans
turned the envelope over and over IN
perplcxity until he noticed the post

Gretchen wrote

same Gretchen-but those in the old
home We're not to know that until
years later.
Hans attended faithfully to his du-
ties as shepherd in his silent unsmi-
ing way. He grew into a lank, melsn-
choly youth, who ignored the village
gayetes and kept always next his
heart a worn and tear blotted photo
graph.
Thus SIX years passed.
Then one day a dire calamity fell
upon the head of Mother Krug while
she sat at her window exchanging
mournful memories with Mother
Schmidt,
The postmen brought It, handing It
in through an open window-the
latest number Of an illustrated maya
zine published in Amsterdam.
It's gaudllv colored front cover was
portrait Of beautiful smiling girl
in suca scanty costume that both
women blushed at sight OF it-al-
though any woman Of fashion in the
great world might have worn it un-
abashed and without criticism at an
embassy ball
At a second timid glance Mother
Krug read the name under the por-
trait, and suddenly fell to sobbing
with her hands over her eyes. This
is what she read under the portrait:
Mile. Gretchen, the celebrated
danseuse, who has returned to the
Coliseum after trlumphal tour
abroad
"Oh. that I had ever lived to see
this day." wept Mother Krug.
Mother Schmidt a little less sim
ple-minded though still scandalized
tried to comfort her-snd then both
fell to lamenting together
Hans appeared at the window, but
It was some time before they would
let him see the cause OF their grief.

ute or two Gretchen and Hans were
dancing together on the great stage
dancing for their lives and their love.
The fat ballet master did not at
tempt to conceal his rapture.
But at that moment entered Mother
Schmidt. TO seize Hans by the ear
and march him back to his neglected
0och
Wait a moment--tndt was Mother
Schmidts plan. She did not find it so
easy of execution. The children fell
into each others arms and could not
be separated at once.

Her voice was stern, but it could be
seen that her lip trembled as her

She glared al the fat little ballet

hastily excused himself on the plea
that urgent business called him back

Then Mother Schmidt talked gent
