Barnes listened at the door until he
heard the waiter Gathering down the
stairway, and then went swiftly down
rhe hall to No. 80. Mr.. Prosser was
sleeping just as soundly and as re-
soundingIy as at midnight!
"By CAD !" he muttered, half-aloud.
Everything was as clear as day to him
now. Bolting into his own room, he
closed the door and stood stockstill
for many minutes. trying to picture
the scene In the cottage.
He found letter in his box when
ne went downstairs, after stuffing the
tin box deep into hts pocket. Before
he slit the envelope he knew that

was brief:

the company until something better

time to one week. Yours very truly,

"Gad, the fellow thinks of every
thing" said Barnes to himself. "He
Is positively uncanny."
He read between the lines, and saw
there a distinct warning. 1t had not
occurred to him that his plan to leave
for New York that day with Miss Cam
eron might be attended by disastrous
results.
But the jewels? What of them? He
could not go gallivanting about the
country with half million dollars
worth of precious stones in his posses
sion.
He spent the early part Of the fore
noon in wandering nervously about
the hotel-upstairs and down. The
jewels were locked In his pack up
stairs. He went up to his room half
a dozen times and almost instantly
walked down again, after satisfying
himself that the pack had not been

For the next three days and nights
rehearsals were In full swing, with
scarcely moments let-up. And so
the time crept by up to the night Of
the performance. Miss Cameron re-

Editor Register:-The write-up two
weeks ago Of the first Sunday evening
/ of the Chautauqua, both in the tone
/ of it and in its sinister suggestion for
the coming year, which was repeated
last week. calls for something to be
said on the other side, and | ask the
use of your columns for that purpose
After characterizing the arrange
ment made this year as bone head
play" and roasting the program fur
nished, it is suggested that the Chau
tauqua cut loose from the churches
next year and do as it pleases
First, as to the arrangements on
that Sunday night The cutting out
Of the pictures was determined upon
so the local manager told me, before
there was any conference with the
/ ministers, because it was liable to
bring in complications with the local
! picture men, who by the high ideals
of Brookings, are not allowed to show
| for pay on Sunday evening.
1t is objected that the people came
expecting the regular program, but
very full announcement had been
made through the churches and most
| of the people who went knew what
| was the program for that night The
ministers have been against having
charge made for single admissions
on Sunday.
Second, as to divorcing the Chau.
tauqua from the churches. If Brook.
| ings feels that she wants to strike
down the high ideals that have helped
to make her the town that she is
above the ordinary grade, then of
course that is the thing to do. But
before that is done thinking people
will wish to take at least one good
look at some facts.
The ChautauQua began as child
of the church. 1t was religious and
educational institution. Bishop Vim,
cents name will go down in history
as the honored father of this great
movement. He rightly considered
| that education and entertainment
which are not filled with spirit OF
religion are not good either for the
| individual or for the state. The
earlier Chautauquas were on this high
plane. | attended one, years ago at
! Lake Madison. Study, classes, exami
nations, conferences, note taking, wor.
ship and high grade entertainment
were stressed. But the entertain
ments were given only as the salad
and the rest were real meal. How
much of this has remained? Have
we been advancing or retrograding in
what the name "ChautauQua" stands
for? The answer is apparent. Now
1t is proposed that the Chautauqua
go the whole way, kick its parent, the
church out of it's house, and steal
fer its money-making purpose the sa'
cred day which the church has given
to the world for its spiritual life. The
Chautauqua has become in recent
years a purely commercial enterprise
The general management (not the
local. which is high-minded and stands
for the best ideals) is out primarily
for the shekels. They furnish in the
main a good wholesome program, for
they know that is the only kind that
/, would be tolerated at present, but
there is no cover made Of the fact

from which these were banshed.
Scarcely week goes by that the min
listers do not get evidence from the
government that it gives the churches
top rating as social factors. And it
needs the best ideals we have.
Let us continue to have our Chau-
tauqua, but let us keep a soul in them

PRESS MEETING AT MONROE
is GIVEN BRIEF REVIEW

Continued from page one)
agreed to call our representatives at
tention to this matter.
In the Afternoon we enjoyed the
trip back to Atlanta with Hon. E.
M. Williams, who is Walton county's
member of the present legislature
Most of the boys were taken in cars
TO Athens, where reception at the
University was held in honor of the
association, and on Thursday the
Southern Railway gave a compliment
airy trip to Mountain City and the
skyland of North Georgia.
Thus endeth the chapter, except for
few personal remarks. The most
serenely contented man we saw at the
meeting was McWhorter, of the Vida
liza Advance. Uncle Jim Williams was
introducing one of the prettiest girls
we saw as his daughter. w. T. An
derson acted as parliamentarian in
cases of doubt. Brown, of the Cor
dele Dispatch is coming "big lea
guer." The president of the South
Carolina Press Association, who was
present, was too modest to make it
known. Mrs. Susong, of the Greene
vile (Tennessee) Democrat, who
made such hit with the convention,
went to school at Agnes Scott. John
ny Jones is still the prettiest man of
the association. We did not know
so many editors could get married
until they brought their wives along.
We. were not advised in advance that
all bald headed men were supposed
to wear wigs. The Monroe Doc
trine" is the most popular Of the pres
ident's fourteen points, whether it is
one of them or not. Jack Patterson
has never married for fear his wife
may kill his vote. Howell, of Cuth-
bert, is out of the paint, plaster and
hair business. McGinty came from
the mountains instead of the sea. B.
T. Allen, of Pearsn, was probably the
veteran of the meeting, as we person
ally know that he was in the business
more than forty years ago. Although
Fleming, of Blakely, had not attended
a meeting in twenty years we bet he
shows up Carrolton next year. E.

After very pleasant visit OF -FOUR
months at his old home in Marietta
Mr.. D. w. Cole is leaving on Thurs
day for the Northwest where ne has
been engaged to undertake the engi-
neering work and the construction
of an irrigation project in the State

This enterprise is to be carried
out under an organization known as
an irrigation district, which is a mu-
nicipal form corporation authorized
by state law, similar in general
way to the Drainage District under
law of Georgia and other states.
Mrs. Cole and daughter Jean will
remain for the present at the family
home on Washington avenue.
