Key, Robert C. Aston and Robert K.

not been announced.
H. H. Dean of Gainesville, former
candidate for the United States sem
ate, has written the committee, aking
that they allow time for speakers
representing neither Macon nor At
lanta, but the state as a whole" 1t is
improbable, however, that the request
will be granted.
1t is impossible to forecast what
action will be taken. Certain it is,
however, that it will be a close vote
in the committee and that the result
in both branches of the house will
likewise be close as there will be mi
nority reports in either case and the
fight will be transferred to the floor
of the house for action Thursday.
Whatever the result of the fight for

EVERETT TAKES HIS BRIDE
HOME
CHAPTER XIV

XXT E went to Hendon the next
w day. Everett had told me he
had home ready for me. l gave it
very little thought. He was old
enough to have home. He had men
tened a housekeeper. So supposed,
if l thought of it at ALL, that he had
kept a bachelor establishment.
1t was a big house with a good
sized lawn. The day was cold and
blustery when we arrived and / only
noticed that all the houses on the
street were rather handsome and
bore some resemblance to each other,
"This is to be your home now, y
Everett said kindly as we walked up
the steps. l couldn't help wishing
he had waited until we had gone in,
then taken me in his arms and said !:
"Welcome home, Darling" as the
man had said in a story / had read.
You see I was so totally without eX-
perience of men, men of Everett's
age, that / had to compare him to
story heroes. couldn't picture him
doing as the home boys would have
done. Someway l never thought of
comparing him to dear father. Yet
my father was the only man I had
known really intimately who was
near my husbands age.
| imagine I wanted to make myself
feel that he was younger than faith
er.
The housekeeper came to meet as
when Everett opened the door with
his key. A nice looking young maid
stood back in the hall smiling well
come. l was so glad to see her
she was so young, you know-that l
scarcely replied to the housekeeper's
greeting; but rushed up to her and
asked her name.
"I'm Hetty, the waitress and up
stairs maid" she replied. She looked
pleased too. l suppose she saw that
I was young. But the housekeeper
looked annoyed. I did not know un-
til afterward that she had not been
told of her employers marriage un-
til we were in New York; nor that

SOLONS SEE WAY
TO DODGE DULL
CAPITAL HEARING

\ATLANTA, July 8.-While 100
leading Macon citizens were en- route
IN Atlanta this afternoon to attend
the capital removal hearing at 3
n m. before the constitutional amend
ments committee of the house, and
Atlanta's picked delegation was pre-
pairing to assemble TO present their
side of the case, it developed that
nossiblv the delegations from both
cities were the victims of huge
joke.
The intimation of the possible joke
developed the information that at
least some of the members of the
committee might not attend the meet
ing, at least the opening of it, be-
cause of the press of other matters,
It then was remembered that last
week, when the date of the hearing
was set, the committee adopted
resolution providing for an executive
session at o'clock today for the
purpose of framing report to the
house on the removal amendment.
This automatically limited the hear
ing to three hours, the period to be
divided equally between Macon and
Atlanta.
1t appeared today that most of the
committee members had already made
up their minds on the proposal and
were ready to vote on the recommen-
dation to the house without sitting
through three hours of uninterrupted
and decidedly partisan oratory, hence
there was a likelihood that more than
one member would De extremely oc
cupied elsewhere until near the hour
of 6 o'clock, the time set in advance

she feared that she would either
lose her place or be bossed by "chit

me. She needn't have worried.
couldn't have run that big house to
have saved my life-not then.
"Hetty will show you your ROOM.
Mrs. Gray-that was the housekeep-
er's name-informed me in chilling
tones. Glad to escape followed
Hetty with alacrity, leaving Everett
talking earnestly with Mrs. GRAY.
"Oh, how lovely" I exclaimed
when HEY switched on the lights
and drew the curtains, so shutting
out the wind and the sight of the
rain.
The room was lovely. 1t was done
in soft grays and pale rose. Every
thing woman could possibly use.
A dainty dressing table covered
with lace and Uttered with costly toi-
let articles; mirrors, reading table
and lights, a cute little desk with an
ormolu clock ticking softly on it;
lounging chairs; chaise Tongue, has
socks of soft pillows for the feet.
And to my delight fireplace with
gas log, which Hetty lighted.
"Shall l help you unpack, ma ann"
Hetty asked. She had scarcely taken
her eyes off me.
"Please. But why do you look at
me so hard?"
'Why-you-ar -are-so young" she
stammered embarrassed.
''|You are young too. How old are
you?"
"I'll be nineteen come spring,
without stopping to anaIyze the rea-
ma a'am."

son. My eyes were glued to the pic
ture of wonderfully beautiful wo-
man on the wall.
That's why l said you were so
young-to be married. You don't
look as old as me. Mr.. Graham is so
much older too. We thought his new
wife would be like"
"Hetty! Hetty" the housekeeper's
shrill voice interrupted her and leav-
ing her sentence unfinished, she hur-
ried downstairs.
I smiled tomyself at her calling
me "new wife" She had said "his
new wife and thought would prob
ably be like some old woman. | must
remember to ask her whom she

thought l was like. And who could

l selected a white dress, one of
my trousseau, to wear this first night
in my new home. | knew mother
would be pleased to have me wear it
instead of one of the more expensive
and elaborte ones Everett had
bought me in New York. / thought
of what Hetty had said about my
looking even younger than she did,
and piled my hear on top of my head
instead of in a knot on my neck or
the braids as mother liked mo to
wear it. But l imagined it made me
look older. 1t did make me look
taller which was not at all neces-
sary.
What possessed you 20 corlb your
hair like that?" Everett asked. at

minute. If dinner were not all ready
