David looked so worn and harassed as Cora decided against him and Brett's proposition, and offered so lit- tie protest, that Cora went on to give her reasons for her stand against David's letting any of the blame for the factory collapse rest on him.
 You, David, manlike, see only the future as the important thing she said. T see the immediate present And what I see no future however pleasant. will ever wipe out of my thoughts. I see working men and women. some children even, crushed in the ruins of a rottenly built factory. And I see my man, the man dearest of all human beings to me, pointed at as the one to blame for the horror. And the more you were paid for talk ing on the blame the more guilty you would seem, even in my eyes"
 But, Cora, I should be no more guilty, if 1 took on the blame, than I am now. At present We can't find out whether the fault lay in my plan ming or in the material put into the building of it or in negligence in run ming the plant. And whether l take the blame or not, I shall be neither more nor less guilty than if I fight off the blame," he protested.
 David, when l walk by your side, wherever we may be, l want to be able to walk proudly" Cora replied with grace earnestness. Whether our clothes and home are poor will have little to do with my pride. But whether or not people will point at you as the man who brought sorrow and loss to others by his incompe tency, that will have everything in the world to do with whether I hold up my head or not. And had rather lose the roof over my head and my very bed than to lose my pride in you"
 Suppose it turns out that am really the one to blame?' David asked. Would you give me up?"
 Cora laid her cheek against his "T should cling to you all the more,

dear" she said simply. For your misfortunes are mine and l mean to bear them-if they come. For that very reason I don't want to bear any troubles that are not really yours no matter how profitable a burden you may think them. Least of all the bur den of another mans blame. For I know Davy I feel you are not to blame. Don't ask me how I know, but know. Some day the truth of it will come out.
 Besides, dear" she hurried on, "have you thought of the other women to whom you are the pride of their lives--your mother and your sister and my mother? You don't know how much a. mother or a sister lives in the achievement or suffers in the failure of the man they put before the world as their man. When you drive a prac- tical bargain at the cost of your name in the world all they see is your loss, your disgrace. And even if you were to show them cash in the hand for what you've lost they would still see only the loss. What they would feel, David, I should feel with you, only thousandfold more."
 David fell silent He realized that in this matter Cora had even more right than he to choose the course he should take.
 'But, Cora, are you prepared to give up all-all this?" he asked wretchedly.
 Cora put her arms about his shoul- der. "Of course, I am prepared. Da- vid. dearest" she said softly but so- berly. "All I need to take along with me, all that is really precious and indispensabie to me, I've got right here in my arms"
 David kissed her and stood up. "All right, Cora, darling" he said. we throw down Brett's proposition hard and try our luck elsewhere. But my greatest piece of luck, dearest, is you"
 And they pledged each other cour- age in the step they were taking.

 S for a few moments to see all the
 lovely things that Miss Carey Johnson
 has on exhibit at the residence of Mrs.
 Walker Percy.
 The gloom of the outside world was dis pelled by the bright, beautiful brilliance
 ot the spacious sun parlor at Mrs. 1 Percy's home, one of the most artistic and attractively decorated rooms in the
 whole of Birmingham, and a wonderfully
 adaptable room for the display of lovely fancy articles the taste with which Miss Johnson's work was displayed was in it.
 self delight to the eye and a genuine
 pleasure to the lover of the aesthetic and unusual
 l Early in last summer Mrs. Percy and i Mrs. Solon Jacobs, who have always l been very much interested in Miss John | sons talent, saw lot of the pretty things
 that she had done, painting on glass, | fruits and cubist work in all sorts and
 varieties, wonderful lamp shades and dainty handkerchiefs and it occurred to
 them that it would be nice idea for Bir- mngham art lovers to see this clever 1 girls work, so they planned the sale l which is now being conducted at Mrs Percys.
 Everybody who visited the exhibit yes terday spoke in the highest terms of Miss Johnsons work and really nothing pret- tier or more artistic has ever been seen here than the different beautiful things that she has done.
 Miss Johnson for the past three months has been in Atlanta and she has done most of her work there. A pretty compli.. ment was paid this attractive young ar tist by noted Atlanta firm, which of fered to take all her work, but upon be- ing told that she wanted to let her home town have the first opportunity of pur- chasing from her promptly made another offer to buy anything that she did not sell here
 Among the most unique things that Miss Johnson pointed out to me yester- day was a melon shaped sofa pillow in brilliant color de rose. The soft folds of the silk were drawn into place by hand some tassels at each end, and a spray of the most gorgeous emproidery in fruit design in rose, yellow, blue and green, was the decoration. Another ''melon' pill low on the same order was of an exquis- ite shade of blue with the fruit embroid- cry
 Especially clever was Miss Johnsons work in the lovely lamp shades of all sorts, particularly the wide skirted little figures, shepherdess, an old fashioned girl, hoop skirted and befrilled, with the tiniest little Dresden head-each looking like little dolls, dainty and demure.
 A dozen exquisitely embroidered hand kerchiefs in various colors were very much admired
 Mexican waste baskets (you know the kind you saw at Atlantic City last sum- mer) Miss Johnson has decorated and converted into the most stunning sewing baskets; the tops she has made of diff ferent colored taffetas drawn together with broad, black ribbons, while the fruit embroidery heavily padded and raised" forms a gorgeous decoration.
 Among the handpainted articles an

'ice tea set'' was exquisitely designed and executed; it contained dozen tall, slender glasses and coasters in "The Blue Bird" design, two lovely candle sticks, and an individual water bottle and glasses. It was really very lovely.
 The door stops" which are so new and so popular, were done in stunning designs, the foundation or pedestal, heing done in vari-colored hues, green, black, yellow and pink, while the figures of Dutch girls, French peasants, Swiss girls and Japanese girls in futurist de- sign, formed the upper part. The wrought iron door stops" are adorable; tiny cluster of flowers in cubist colors form the upper part of these attractive de- signs, while the lower part is of black.

 The book racks in dashing colors re- fleet the skill and artistry of the clever yonng woman who designed them and the lovely glass vases, the cornicopias for flowers adorned with lovely painted de- signs, and the mail boxes;" in fact, every imaginable article is to be seen wonderfully and beautifully made.

fair, but within two and one
half hours after Mr.. Abbott had
been called to the scene most Of
the missing goods were located
and recovered and some ninety
minutes later at least one of the
culprits was under arrest.
1t is the opinion of the police
that more than one person was
engaged in the robbery but to
date the only arrest made is
that of Coot Stanley, a we'll
known negro, who was only re-

was no clue to his identity save
the prints of bare feet on
the roof of store where the
robbery had occurred. This re-

There he found most of the
