that she would soon follow in person.
Those three days and nights were
full Of Joy and enchantment for
Barnes. he actually debased himself
by wishing that the Rushcroft COM

rehearsing for weeks In that dim. en-
chanted temple.
He sat for hours In one of the most
uncomfortable seats he had ever
known, devouring with hungry eyes
the shadowy, interested face SO close
to his own-and never tired.
On the afternoon of the dress re-
hearsal he led her, after an hour of
almost insupportable repression, to
the rear of the auditorium. Dropping
into the seat beside her he blurted
out. almost In anguish:

He had clasped the hand that rest
ed on his sleeve and. as he pressed 1t
to his heart, his other arm stole over
her shoulders and drew her close to
his triumphant body. For an instant
she resisted, and then relaxed into
complete submission. Her head sank
upon his shoulder.
"Oh!' she sighed, and there was
wonder, joy-even perplexity, In the
tremulous sigh of capitulation. "Oh,"

Everything was as clear as day to him
now. Boiling into his own room, he
closed the door and stood stockstill
for many minutes, trying to picture
the scene In the cottage.
He found a letter in his box when
he went downstairs, after stuf1ng the
tin box deep into his pocket. Before
he slit the envelope he knew that

was brief: A- - ..z.

"Gad, the fellow thinks Of every
thing" said Barnes to himself. HE
is positively uncanny."
He read between the lines, and saw
there q distinct warning. It had not
occurred to him that his plan to leave
for New York that day with Miss Cam

results.

When the hour came for the depar-

In conversation in the taproom. Miss
Cameron left the house by the rear
door and was safely ensconced in Pc
ters automobile long before he shook
hands with the "rat-catchers" and
dashed out to join her. Tommy Gray's
car, occupied by the four players, was
moving away from the door as he
sprang in beside her and slammed the
door.

Sixty miles lay between them and

Soon after ten O'Clock they entered
the town Of Crowndale and drew up
before the unattractive portals Of the
Grand Palace hotel. An arc lamp
swinging above the entrance shed q
pitiless light upon the dreary, Godfor-
saken hostelry with the ironic mamie.
Miss Cameron was warmly con-
scious of the thrill that had come into
her blood when he carried her up the
stairs in his powerful arms. disdaining

Barnes went down to the dingy
lobby. A single, half-hearted electric
bulb shed its feeble light on the desk,
in front Of which stood . man regis

night clerk.
Barnes was turning away when q
familiar voice assailed him.
Whirling. he looked into the face Of
a man who stood almost at his elbow
the sharp, impassive face Of Mr..
Sprouse.

He switched of the light suddenly.
There was no sound for many seconds,
save the deep breathing Of the two
men. Then, with INFINITE caution,
Sprouse turned the knob and opened
the door half inch or 80. He left the
room so abruptly that Barnes never
quite got 6ver the weird impression
that he squeezed through that slender
crack, and pulled 1t after him!
Many minutes passed before he
turned on the light. The key Of the
box was tied to the wire grip. With

Transact Important Matters
Relative To County Schools

One of the most interesting and
practical meetings of the County Ed
uctional Board was held January 30,
at the Office of County Superintendent
B. F. Edwards to discuss work for1the
ensuing year. eAisss.
All members Of the Board being
present except Mr.. VIM. Hayden, the
work was taken up in the following
items:
Consolidation of Valley View and
Miller schools, which is and has been
badly needed for the past five years.
was recommended by County Superin-
tendent Edwards and committee be-
ing appointed of the following, Mr..
Edwards, w. R. Hayden and A. J.
Million. to further the plans for this
consolidation.
The next question was in regard to
Green Oak school as to whether it
should be repaired or new building
erected. A committee was named
composed of B. F. Edwards, A. C..
Daniels, Bales Wilson, to meet with
patrons of Log Cabins chool February
18th, to decide on plans for a new
building and report their decision to
the next Board meeting. -
Mr.. Edwards was asked to take up
the question which, however, has al
ready been decided upon by ". o. Gil
bert, as to time lost on account of the
epidemic. The question was whether
the time from October 9th through
November 18th, be given to teachers,
the time from that date to be lost
by the teachers where schools have
been closed locally. However, Mr..
Edwards would like to take up this
question with teachers Of this county
to find their disposition of the matter
before further consulting Mr.. Gilbert.
Consolidation Of Wallaceton and
Estridge schools was recommended by
the County Superintendent and Board
and the erection Of colored high
school near Berea, the first colored
high school proposed for the county.
A recommendation was made by
Superintendent Edwards that coal for
the schools should be purchased in car
load lots and in order to check extrav-
agance for supplies all articles should
come through the superintendent's Of
fee.
At this meeting the question of 3
County Supervisor for the year 1915
came up. Prof. ]. B. Harris who has
made such an efficient officer was re
tanned at an increased salary, his
work this year to begin only with the
school term beginning July 1st.
And last but not least, the question
of the teachers salaries was consid
erred. It was decided to increase tn,
teachers salaries to a wage lvint
amount, which viii be good news Il
the teachers as undoubtedly the sal
aries of the county teachers on whom
rests such a heavy responsibility
should be paid in proportion to thu
duties they perform.-Co Contributed.
