The swinging arc light suspended
above the street crossing sputtered
and died down to a dull red dot of in
candescence as Griswold returned
Margery's note to his pocket and
walked on.
There are crises in which the chief
contention looms so large as to leave
no room for the ordinary mental proc
esses. Griswold saw no significance
in the broken line Of Margery's mes
sage. The one tremendous revelation
the knowledge that the dross-creat-
ing curse had finally fallen upon the
woman whose convictions should have
saved her-was blotting out all the
subtler perceptive faculties; and for
the time the struggle with the sub
merging wave OF disappointment and
disheartenment was bitter.
lie was two squares beyond the
crossing OF the broken-circuted arc
light, and was still following the curve
Of the lakeside boulevard, when he
came to the surface of the submerg-
ing wave long enough to realize that
he had entered Jasper Grierson's por-

chamber, loomed In massive solidity
among its sheltering oaks; and the
moon, which had now topped the hills
and the crimsoning smoke haze, was
bathing land and lakescape in flood
OF silver light, whitening the pale yell
low sands of the beach and etching
fantastic leaftraceries on the gravel
of the boulevard driveway.
There was no inclosing fence on the
Mereside border of the boulevard. and
under the nearest Of the lawn oaks
there we're rustic park seats, Jasper
Grierson's single concession to the
public when he had fought for and
secured his Boperty right-of-way
through to the lakes margin. Grlswold
turned aside and sat down on one OF
the benches. The disappointment was
growing less keen. He was beginning
TO understand that he had made no
allowance for the eternal feminine in
the idealized Fidelia-for the feminine
and the straitly human. But the dis
heartenment remained. Should he
stay and fight it out? Or should he
take pity upon the poor prisoner of
the conventions and seek to postpone
the day of reckoning by flight?
He had not fitted the answer to
either of these sharp-pointed queries
when a pair of light-fngered hands
came from behind to clap themselves
upon his eyes, and well-known voice
said, Guess"
"Margeryl" he said, and she laughed
with the joyous unconstraint of a
happy child and came around to sit
by him.

Her mood changed in the twinkling
of an eye. THE battle is over, and

Didn't you know that?" And then;
"Oh, boy, boy! but 1t has been a des-
perate fight! Time and again | have

he'd try Miss Farnham first, and there

might fall in love with you and so re-

Most emphatically. she did not" he
denied. "You have greatly misjudged
Miss Farnham. The reason-the only
reason--why she did not tell Broffin
what he wanted to know was a purely
conventional one. She did not want to

haska."
His companions laugh was not
pleasant.
I'D rather be a spiteful little cat,
which is what she once called me, than
to be moth-eaten on the inside like
that" she commented Then she went
on: with Miss Farnham out of it

acquainted with him, but you know

asked him to identify you, he couldn't
or wouldn't. Then came that un-
lucky drowning accident"
Griswold nodded slowly. "Yes, Mr..
Galbraith knows me now"
"He Doesn't" she exulted. "He is
dear old saint, and he will never
know you again as the man who held
him up. Listen He sent for Brofiln
this afternoon, and gave him a new
commission-something about bonds
in California. And he told him he
must go on the first train!"

Mothers Day Exercises.

The iprogram for Mothers Day
which was published in The Adver.
tiser last week was beautifully car
ried out at the Baptist Sunday
school Sunday morning. The su-
.psrintsadent, Mr.. We B Cogsufa,
presided over the exercises, almost
the entire Sunday school hour being
consumed by the program. DR.. E.
Pendleton Jones gave brief histo-
ry of the cradle roll feature of thu
Sunday school work and emphasized
its importance. Prof. Ross, with
characteristic enthusiasm, spoke of
the observance of a day in honor Of
motherhood. The songs and recita-
tions by the little girls and wee
small tots highly entertained the
large number who assembled to
witness The exercises.
When the members of the cradle
roll department were arranged in
rows upon the roslrum, with beau
liful flowers in the background and
the foreground consisting of num-
Der of young mothers holding in
their arms recruits for the cradle
roll, picture of transcendent beau
ty was presented, one that would
inspire poet or painter to give to
the world masterpiece in verse or
art.
For some time the Sunday school
of the Baptist .chuch has steadily
grown. The beautiful exercises Sun
day morning reflected the splendid
work that is being done by the Off
GERS and teachers.

Death of Mrs. Edwin A. Glover.

Sorrow was brought to the many
friends of Mrs. Edwin A. Glover by
her passing away at the late resi-
dence, sle twenty-ninth avenue,
north, Monday morning, after an
illness of several months. Mrs. Glow

Laura Abney, a native of South
Carolina, where the news of her
death also casts gloom, she having
many friends and prominent family
connections throughout the state.
She is survived by her husband,

beloved lady Mrs. Mary A. Miller
has caused the deepest anxiety
among her friends. The attention
from her friends and loved ones
have been exceptionally beautiful
and tender.
Misses Orrie and Sabe Miller will
leave home Wednesday to attend
the graduating exercises at Chicora
college.
There will be an entertainment
given by the w. G. r. U. at the
school house on Thursday evening
the goth. Trenton's best talent will
be seen and heard in song, recita-
ton, duets and solos. A bridal scene
entitled Pledge with wine" will
be one of the attractions of the
evening. The beautiful bride with
her beautiful dame and bevy of
lovely girls in their lovely evening
gowns, as. bridesmaids, the little
flower girls, the ring, candle and
pillow bearer form a brilliant pic
ture. Of course we have made no
mention of the handsome groom
and his no less handsome attendants
but we remember once our beloved
friend Col. James T. Bacon OF
blessed memory said, Men don't
count at weddings In this little
play however, in the second scene,
they have conspicuous part. AT
the wedding reception where the
toast is offered with wine and the
young bride is about to be persuad-
ed to join in merry making, she
takes glass and suddenly remen,
bers an incident which she relates
in a most thrilling manner.
The scene instantly changes from
one of jollity to one of deep pen
siveness. This entertainment is un-
der the management of Mrs. Crouch
and Mrs. Courtney. Knowing the
capability of these two ladies along
this special line we unhesitatingly :
bespeak for the w. G. T. U. a lib
eral patronage, feeling satisfied that
all who attend will be delighted.
The small sum of fifteen cents will
be charged for admission.
Mrs. Emma Atkins has returned
home from visit to friends at
North Augusta.
