the committee that investigated Maury
county's affairs.
1t is unquestionably true that the
officials of the county have at times
made errors; they have not been anC
will not be perfect. But their errors
have been those of judgment and moi
of the heart. That fact is demonstrate
ed when the committee unanimously
reported that it had not found a dollar
of graft among the officials OF the
county.
1t is easy to criticise; it is easy to
tear down. The critics, like the poor,
we will probably have with us always.
But it is assuredly gratifying in the
midst of so much insinuation, Grim
nation and recrimination to know
that there has been no substantial
foundation for any Of the charges of
wrong doing.
The investigation was unnecessary.
There was no public demand for it.
But it was only just and fair to the
under fire that it should be
made. 1t will serve good purpose.
1t will give the people better under
standing of their public affairs. 1t will
feasurably increase the pride of all
patriotic citizens in the officials Of the
county. The report of the committee
and that of the auditor are valuable
to the financial history
Of the county. The report of the audi
tor is an exceedingly comprehensive
document; the work has been well and
done.

or the men about him. For an hour he
tore himself away from the black
world to wander over the beloved hills
in New England where summer dies
In burst of light
Red Hill, crowned with mountain
ash, called to his spirit as torch in
the night to lost wanderer The thir-
u months that had passed since last
he saw its budding promise We're
swept away. He imagined those very
budding leaves at the end of their
course, the pale amber of the elms.
the deep note of the steadfast frs. the
haunting fire of the brave naples.
Maple House arose before him. its
lawn carpeted with dry leaves. From
the leaves f1oated an incense, dusty.
pungent. The cool shadows of the
great rambling house beckoned to
him. Here is peace, here is rest, they
seemed to cry. The memory of home
gripped him, held him and soothed
him. His head nodded and he slept
only to awake with a start, for he had
dreamed that he had lost the way
back forever.

their store of cloth. They made clothes
for Gerry and fitted out the new bed
Pillows and mattress We're stuffed with

a step toward gayety. Ruin and dilap-

gayety was reflected in the household
They were united in achievement
Quiet smiles were their reward to
each other and sometimes a burst of
wonder as when Gerry found some old
bottles and with the aid of a bit of
string cut them into serviceable mugs.
Margarita was happy. Her cup was
full. All the dreams of her girlhood
were fulfilled in Gerry. A silent and
strange lover, but a man-such man
as she had dreamed of but never seen.
To herself she sang the old songs he
should have sung to her and then
laughed as he nodded mild approval.
One evening he sat on a bench on
the veranda, fitting a handle into a
dipper made of q cocoanut-sheI. Mar
gartta sat on the steps at his feet
She leaned back further and further
until she sank against his knees. He
stopped over her. She threw up her
arms around his neck, locked her
hands and drew him down. He kissed
her lips and sighed.

There is no stronger proof of mans
evolution than his adaptability-his
power of attainment through the mate
rial at hand, however elementary.
From the very beginning, the necessi-
ties of his new life called to Gerry's
dormant instincts. For the first week
he would not hear. The past loosens
Its tendrilS slowly. He was listless
and loafed restlessly about the house.
The two darkies worked for his we'll
being, the two white women waited on
him hand and foot. At first it was
lulling; then 1t was wearying. He be-
gan TO wander from the house.
But the week had not been alto
gether lost. He had gathered desul-
tory but primitive information. Occa-
stonal re-occurring words began to be
more than mere sounds. The girls
name was Margarita. The wrinkled
little woman was her aunt. DOna
Maria. The two darkies We're linger-
ing relies of slave days They had
been born here. They had gone with
emancipation, but they had come
back. The name of the plantation was
Fazenda Flores. To them it was the
world. They had wandered out of it
hand in hand with liberty but they had
come back because freedom was here
