LXV-Eve the Audacious

Good morning, guardie, dear!' ob- served Eve Rochester the following morning, as Darlington Bellaire en- tered the breakfast room. How young and beautiful you look today"
 She flung her most bewitching smile at him.
 But Bellairs did not return the smile He was very bored with Eve--and lot her see it.
 He was pretty certain that she had robbed his safe Her sudden flight to town had quite amused him. Eyes methods in the criminal line were real ly amateurish!
 Although-to some extend--she had played into his hands regarding Mary Drew, he was quite man enough to re- sent h6r extraordinary meanness to- ward the girl.
 Deuce take 1t alH l could almost forgive her if she'd been more clever in her methods! But pealousy and clumsiness are mighty poor business com binationi Before this day is done blessed if I won't tell her so!''
 Thus ran the reflections of the man whom Eve called "guardieH'
 Miss Eve, however, couldn't get at the psychology of the mans mind. And so she rambled blssfully on:
 There's no place like the country, after all I'm getting really fond of it!"

Yes, the menage must be changed-and quickly. He was not going to continue to support an idle, npertinent young woman whose whole body wasn't worth the little finger of the girl that she pretended. to Iespise. He helped himself to porridge and poured upona it liberal libation of country creafn. His appetite was all ways excellent--although his temper varied.

WASTE IS CHARGED
|NR|CH|MONDC COUNTY

AUGUSTA, Ga, Nov. 20.-One of
the biggest sensations Of years in
county circles developed re Sat-
urday morning when Jacob Phinizy,
president of the Geoi gia Railroad
bank, which finances the county,
formally accused all county Off
cialdom with gross extravaganza
and waste, and warned that bank

practices are not curbed.

view Of all departments and branch
es unfortunately hewed the coun-
ty log, letting the chips fall where
they might. ~
Resultant from Mr.. Phinizy's
charges special recommendation
that county manager" be created
to have direct charge over the
county's financial affairs was made
to Judge Henry G. Hammond in
open court Saturday by the grand
jury, simultaneous with the reading
of Mr.. Phinizy's report. The inves-
tigation instituted by Mr.. Phinizy
has been under way for twelve
months.
A paragraph of the letter from
Mr.. BoySin to Mr.. Phinizy declares
that ''the county authorities have
kept pace with the general public in
extravagant expenditures which
have prevailed during the last two
years throughout the country, and
have undertaken the most expensive
improvements during a time of the
highest cost, with the result that
the present condition of the coun-
ty finances demands drastic eco
nomic reform and program provid-
ing for general decrease of ex-
penses of all the several depart
ments of the county.
From the judges Of the courts to
the janitor at the courthouse, all
are severely criticized for their
''gross extravaganza and waste"
Mr.. Phinizy reports that he is in
formed that James r. Richards ap-
pears on the county's payroll as a
baliff, while Richards is said never
to have attended session of court.

stated, is brother-in-law of Judge

Replying from the bench to Mr..
Phinizy's charge, Judge Hammond,
in his enthusiastically humorous
vein, told the grand jury that when
he was appointed judge a special
bailiff was given him, as judges of
this court for forty years have been
given bailiffs-"the judges man Fri
day, if you will pardon me-"
