Just exactly what she is trying to
do, boy. Let those poor chaps with
guns in their hands to defend her
civilization as we'll as theirs die for
want of a supply train hauled by re-
liable mules when unreliable gasoline
fails. That's what women are like. q"
And as he spoke I perceived the
depth of dislike that was in the heart
of my uncle, the General Robert, for
all of womankind.
There are some women who
would not so comport themselves,
my uncle Robert. I give you my
word as one" Then IS I hesitated
in terror at the revelation of my
woman's estate had been about to
make, my uncle, the General Robert,
made this remark to me:
Women are like crows-all black,
and the exceptional white one only
makes the rest look blacker. The
only way to stop them in their dep
relations is to trap them since the
law forbids shooting them" And as
he made this Judgment of women
I forgot for moment that we dis
cussed that Madam Whitworth whom
1t was causing me great pain to dis
cover to be the enemy of France, and
I thought of my beautiful mother,
whom he had judged without ever
having encountered, and great
longing rose in my heart so to COM
fort myself that his heart should
learn to trust me as a man and then
discover the honor of woman
through me at some future time. I
took a resolve that such should be
the case, and to that end I asked of
him:
How is it that I can serve you in
these serious troubles my Uncle
Pnhart 80 And 7 asked that ones

against that black crow woman.
Now that's what I'm coming to.

CHAPTER V.
"We Both Need You.n

Il do not know how it is that ]
shall find words in which to write
down the loveliness of that gouvern-
eur of Old Harpeth. He was not as
tall as my uncle, the General Robert,
and he was slender and 1.-the as some
wild thing in a forest, but the power
in the broadness of his shoulders and
in the strength of his nervous hands
was of a greatness of which to be
frightened-thati is, think, of which
a man should be frightened, but in
which woman would take much
glory. His hair was of the tarnished
gold of sunset storm, and upon his
temples was a curved crest of white
that sparkled like the spray of a
wave. All of which I must have seen
with some kind of inward eyes from
from the moment my eyes lifted
themselves from contemplating the
carpet in embarrassment over my
tweed trousers they were looking in
to his in a way which at dawn my
eyes have gazed into the morning
star rising near to me over the little
wood at the Chateau de Gree.
1t is good that you have come,
Robert Carruthers, for the general
and both need you" were the words
heard him saying to me in a voice
that was as deep and of as much in
terest as the eyes, and as he spoke
those words he took one of my hands
in both of his strong ones. And if
you say snails, snails it shall be, if
Cato and have to invade every rose
garden in Hayesville and vicinity and
stay up all night to catch them"
L think l shall choose that corn
pone and whisky that my uncle, the
General Robert, has promised to me
from one bad tempered cook to the
time of my luncheon" I found my
self saying with laugh that answer
ed the barefooted boy who suddenly
looked at me out of the cool eyes.
Il thought would let him have a
tryout with Kizzie before we decided
to feed the savages," also said my
uncle, the General Robert, with a
laugh. Besides, he's one himself
and I'll have to go slow and tame
him gradually"
No, he's ours. He's Just come back
to his own from a strange land, gen.
eral, and you'll kill the fatted calf or
rooster, whichever Kizzie decides
with joy at getting him" And this
time the star eyes gave to me the
quick sympathy for which I had
prayed before the Virgin with the in
fant in her arms in the little chapel
OF the old convent just before we had
to flee from the shells, leaving my
father to the sister to bury after the
enemy had come. I think my eyes did
tell that tale to his, and the tears
ached in my throat.

BY JANE MCLEAN.

It think she could have done a
great deal better"
But, my dear" expostulated Myra's
easy-going father, IF she's happy
that's all we want, isn't it?"
oh, 1 suppose so, but what can
she see in him? He hasn't any money
and for my part I don't think he's
a bit odlooking."
What did you see in me, my dear?"
Mrs. Johnson laughed at this.
"Oh, now, Walt, If you're going
to be foolish" she demonstrated.
But I'm not foolish. I'm just
speaking the truth. What did you
see in me? I had no money, and I
wasn't good looking"
But I wanted Myra to marry WELL"
the mother mourned. we gave her
everything. a college education. and
every single advantage, and she could
have had Racy Harlowe if she had
played her cards right"
The conversation had arisen con-
| cerning the engagement of Myra
Johnson and the man she had chosen
above all others for her husband.
Slim and tall and dark and distin-
guished-looking the young artist had
stood nowhere in Mrs. Johnson's esti-
nation because he hadn't wealth.
Racy Harlowe was the son and heir
of one of the oldest families in town,
he was to be taken into the bus
mess as soon as he decided to settle
down. He owned an orange racing
car from which he has taken his nick
name. "Racy," and his fines for speed
ing were numerous. He was sup
posed to be a great catch, and because
Myra had everything to make her
desired above all other girls, the
young mans car often stood at the
curb outside of the johnson home.
Mrs. Johnson had begun to dream
dreams 1t hadn't taken long to bring
all of them about her head in ruin.

/ Myra, and this stranger. a few weeks
! of feverish courtship when the girl
| flushed too quickly to suit her
mother, and answered the telephone
on the extension wire. and this was
the result Myra had told them last
night that she was to marry Dan
Mitchell
Didn't Myra tell you anything
about it?" questioned Mr.. Johnson
after few minutes pause in the
conversation.
Mrs. Johnson hesitated. She was
/ suddenly smitten with the reason why
Myra had said nothing about it. Ger
tainly the mother had given the girl
no reason to think that she might
receive sympathy and approval. Myra
was too clever not to see that way
matters stood. AS Mrs. Johnson hesi-
! tated before speaking the outer door
| slammed and a moment later Myra
herself came into the room.
Mrs. Johnson's eyes swept the girl.

"It wouldn't make and difference

Myra?" her mother replied.

resolutely.
"oh. Myra, and you might have

"All right; we'll talk about it
after you've had one of old Kizzie' 5
fried chicken dinners. Here we are
at the mansion. Remember, you
know the whole situation and are
only supposed to know the part that
Governor Bill thinks is the whole.
Look at me, boy!" And as the big car
drove up to the curb before a great
guard of its front, he laid both his
hands upon my shoulders and turn
ed me toward him with force and no
gentleness, and then with his keen
eyes did he look down into the very
soul of me.
Yes, I see can trust you, sir. God
bless you, boy!" he said, after a very
long moment of time.

the introduction my uncle, the Cen
eral Robert, administered to me;
then I stood and looked into the face
of him whom afterward I discover
ed to be the greatest gentleman in
the world, with my heart beating N
my throat and yet astir under my
woman's breast in the place it had
always before resided, after we had

room by an old black servant called

Don't throw away stale bread

Heat the milk. Add a small

Read what the New Orleans Item
of Feb. 26th has to say about Flora
Bella.
"Flora Bella" this weeks attrac-
tive offering at the Tulane theatre
sounds a new note in musical comedy.
It is entirely different from anything
! seen here in years, adele" being the
only thing which we can recall which
even vaguely suggests the same class
Of entertainment.
In the first place "Flora Bella" has
a coherent, intelligent plot which
could have furnished the basis for a
comedy sven if it were not the back
ground for q musical production. On
the other hand it has q big chorus Of
pretty girls, lively %comedians, beautiful
gowns and all the good features Of
the less dignifed musical shows.
Florence Weber, who is fondly re-
membered here in Naughty Mariet-
ta" and "The Climax" is the prima
donna, and she not only sings well but
knows how to act. Her p%rotrayal Of
