should shoot to kill. Thus poor Tosca had
the agony OF watching the killing OF her
lover when she was anticipating the de-
light of leading him away to safety.
Pierre de Mortissac, whom the Parisian
club world insists on associating with the
Mata-Hari tragedy, was one Of the most
brilliant figures in Paris. He won the
Cross of the Legions Of Honor in the war
and was desperately wounded. Then he
became known as the latest and most In
fatuated OF the many lovers OF Mata-Hari.
He has repented of all his follies and
extravagances and to-day Is atoning for
the past as a bare-footed monk in the clois-
ters of the Cartuja Of Mirahores, near
Burgos, in Spain.
Mata- -Hari, in many ways the most sin
lister and picturesque figure OF the war,
was the daughter of a Dutch East Indian
planter and native woman. She learned
to dance as a temple girl, married Scotch
baronet, Sir Malcolm Macleod. whom she
deserted. and then went to Europe. Her
first successes as DAGGER were made In
Germany, and there she attracted circle
OF admirers, including several prominent
noblemen and fnanciers. II was then thst
the Germany secret service planned to use
her as spy.

j. NATHAN WATKINS WRITES.
Agrees with MIR. Sanders, but Not in
Favor of Delegation Meetings.

Battle Creek, S. c., Dec. 22, 1920.
Editor Keowee Courier
will ask you to publish my let
ter. rs | wish to express my open
opinion on certain matters as they
exist to-day, according to my under
standing. My letter is not personal
to any one.
First, | want to thank Robt. NJ.
Sanders for his good letter, publish
eel in The Courier, Dec IS. agree
with Mr.. Sanders most heartily ex-
cept as to the delegation meetings..
1t is we'll enough for our represen-
tatives to confer with the people as
to their needs, for informa ton only,
nut when representative delegations
call meetings and take the sentiment
OF the majority present on any issue
Or matter Of legislation, that major
ity does not represent the majority,
or the sentiment, Of the masses of
the people of the county at large,
and If the representatives have that
voice Of the few embodied into law.
1t is not a representative law; It
does not represent the needs and in
terests Of the masses of the people.
1t Is only representative Of the die
tates OF the few speaking for the
many. 1t Is not the cool, deliberate
work Of the delegation. Therefore
1T could not be representative law.
1t Is too much like a man getting
job and letting another man have
1T. and do the work, and the first
man getting the pay. AS an example
| will refer to the Bond Issue Act
for good roads. That act is one OF
the sons Of the delegation meetings.
| and l certainly believe that foul
fifths Of the people are opposed to
that bond issue. The people wanted
! good roads (and they surely needed
| them,) but they did not want all the
| good roads piled up in one pile be-
tween Walhalla and Seneca, and d
few other places, and do without
roads everywhere else in the conuty.
that little pile Of good roads pai;l
for. and by that time people won't
need any good roads. They will be
compelled by necessity. for lack Of
roads, to be doing their travel by
airship long before then.
In my opinion, the reason why so
few people attend those delegation
| meetings Is that people think, when
candidate is brought out for Rep
| resentative, he is we'll enough ac.
quainted with the needs and fnar-
cial conditions Of his county to know

time," Connie said to her old yellow
cat. "Who ever heard Of Christmas
without the Merry? So cheer up,
Prowler. and let's Join in the game"
At the little "Shoppe" just around
the corner she stood longest Of all.
And all at once into Comics bright
eyes came speculative light. The
Window was full of small framed pic
lures. most Of them with the Christ
mas spirit. There were the usual
nIght-clad children looking up broad
chlmneys. there were landscapes Of
snowy fields with distant windows
alight-Connie studied them all; she
was seeing In vision the winding hill
rond Of the place where she had spent
her last summer vacation; the church
with Its swaying bell in the stecple,
the queer little bridge over the deep
and beautiful stream-a bridge with
seats along Its sides where countless
lovers had sat and cOurted. The old
laay who had been Comics volunteer
hostess told her, with the pink coming

that her own husband had asked, and
had been answered--hts question. The
way that Connie had chanced to visit
this beautiful country place and to
meet there the dear old lady was quite
remarkable chance too. She had
started out on the trolley car for one
restful day In the country and had
chosen this station at random. And
when she had stopped to admire the
wonderful roses In the old lady's gar
demand they had spent some agree
able time together---thc old lady, Mrs.
Martha Snow by name had said:
"My dear! Why don't you come on
and visit me for week or two7 I'm
lonely for n young sweet face"
And Connie had gone, that was all.
Half her later water colors had been
glorifed memories of that delightful
visit. Now Connie had new inspra-
tlon. She would paint the queer little
bridge over an icy stream, and Its
seats should be covered with snow.
She could fancy Just how the trees
would look waving naked branches.
And she'd paint the church in the hos.
low With lights. In the windows gleam.
