 With the door closed, we were plunged into a darkness which rem dered the interior invisible. 1 won dered dirnly why the man on guard had not lighted the swinging lantern. I stumbled over something on the deck, as I groDed forward, but did not pause until 1 had lighted the lantern. It blazed up brightly enough, its vel low flame Illuminating the cabin and the first thing 1 saw was the out stretched figure of the sailor almost between my feet. We needed to ask no questions, imagine nothing-the overturned chair, the stricken sailor told the whole story. He had been treacherously stuck from behind, the blade driven home by a strong hand, and was dead before he fell to the deck. It had been silent, vengeful murder, and the assassin had left no trace. Who could it have been? Not Gunsaules surely-the steward lacked both nerve and strength for such 8 deed. Then there was but one to sus. pect-Sanchez!

I joined him, striking with the butt of the pistol. We killed and wounded, the curses of hate changed into sharp cries of agony, but those behind pressed the advance for ward, and we were inevitably swept back into the light of the cabin lamp.

OPENS
GREAT FESTIVAL
OF GRAND OPERA

ATLANTA, April 22.-,Atlanta is
alive with musical feryor. Its annual
festival of grand opera started, be-
: pn'ng last night in a blaze of glory.
1t sounds Atlanta-like to say so, but
it is true nevertheless-the greatest
vocal musicians of the generation, and
the greatest musical organization of
tai; or any other previous Cay in
Amer ca, the Metropolitan Grand
Opera Company, is in our midst"
and will spend a week.
This week is going to be. Judging of
the plans under way week of unpre-
cedented musical enjoyment and of So
cial entertainment. The hotels are
filed and Atlanta's streets are swarm
ing with music lovers from the four
corners of the south, and many from
distant points in the north, east and
west. OF course, the big majority of
Atlanta folk who are nothing if not
hospitable, are devoting themselves to
the entertainment of the visitors, and
business might as well go hanged.
The opera last night was Verdi's
'The Force of Destiny and it proved
to be "big opening" 1t introduced
Caruso, Miss Ponselle, DeLuca, Mar
dones, Chalmers, d'Angelo and the bal
let. The bill this afternoon is Gou-
mods Faust" which presented Aida,
cast with the ballet. 1t was learned
for the first time here yesterday that
Miss Rosina Cali, the premier dan
seuse, had signed contract to make
motion pictures and will stact her
screen career when she leaves At
ianta.
Geraldine Farrar, leading soprano
of the Metropolitan, is not with the
company here this year, bit she is
featured in a motion picture at a local
theater and a big bunch of the opera
staFs visited the theater. Caruso, who
has been in motion pictures for some
time, is q regular movie fan, and in
company with his bride, has been go
ing the rounds since h6 has been in
Atlanta. While grand opera is draw
ing its usual big patronage, the pic
ture shows are oyerrun. 1t is a ques-
ton which enjoys himself the most,
the fellow who goes to the singing
show or the movie. But lots of folks
are doing both in Atlanta this week.

Editorial Weakness.

Man, even in his highest state of in
tellectual development, has his little
human weaknesses and we notice that
as soon as an editor manages by hook
or crook to save up enough to get an
automobile, ringing editorials begin to
crop out in the paper pretty frequently
fearlessly demanding better roads for
the farmers.-Ohio State Journal.

old-Time Georgia Sign.

AT one time cotton men in Macon
thought that the presence of man
with hand organ and monkey on the
streets of that city had direct bear
ing on the cotton market, causing a
decline in price. At one time the or
gan man was prohibited by municipal
law, but later was admitted on pay
ment of a substantial license.-Tifton

Korean Woman Status.

In Korea women occupy place in
society which has no parallel else
where in the Orient. They are both
better and worse off than in China or
India or Japan-better off because
there are more fields open to them,
worse because they are overworked,
often ill-treated, and until recently
were actually enslaved.
