who shrugged his shoulders.
HE should be here at any moment"
he answered, and as he spoke the door
opened and Carl Peterson came In.
"Good afternoon, gentlemen" he be-
gan, and then he saw Hugh. With q
look of speechless amazement he
stared at the soldier, and for the first
time since Hugh had known him his
face blanched. Then his eyes fell on
the open ledger, and with dreadful
curse he sprang forward. A glance at
the faces Of the men who stood watch

know, and with another oath his hand
went to his pocket.

"Wait," said the millionaire, 'that
reminds me. Before they assaulted me
at the Carlton they told me the others
wouldn't come in unless did"
For a while there was silence,
broken at length by Hugh:

1t was at that moment that the tele-

itation Hugh picked up the receiver.
"very WELL" he grunted, after listen

He replaced the receiver and turned
to the American.
"Mr. Ditchling will be here for the
meeting at two, and Peterson win be

For a while they stared at the brief

into guffaw of laughter.

Hugh rang up his rooms in Half Moon

he gathered that Phyllis and her ia

out another thing-that Ted Jerning-

Potts in tow, who was apparently suf-
ficiently recovered to talk sense. He
was weak still and dazed, but no long
er imbecile.
''Te1l Ted to bring him down to The

compatriot of his here, waiting to
welcome him with open arms"

said, putting down the receiver sour

The American nodded slowly.

 Of her work Mrs. Engstfeld in her introduction says:
 This list of Alabama authors has been prepared to answer the ma ny de- mands for such information that have come to this library. The list in it's present form is merely tentative, is- sued with the expectation that it's ap- pearance in print will bring to our attention many additional names.

Authors who merely hap pened to live In Alabama for few years during childhood are not i'm cauded

By JOSEPHINE NIXON HENLEY

By JOSEPHINE NIXON HENLEY TN BIRMINGHAM is not alone great -ffM in her wonderful natural re- ~ sources and in the enterprise of her men, but also in the original ity and adaptability of her women.
 Among the women of this caty is one who perceiving among those with whom she is daily associated an unified need, immediately began to seek a means of providing for it and seeking, found and supplied the required help.
 Mrs Caroline P. Engstfeld, who is In charge of the catalog and order department of the Birmingham public library, has been for some time fre- quently called upon by club women. school and high school students, and : others making literary research, for information regarding Alabama writ CTS and people prominent in music . and art fD the state who have done original work.
 Dawn of Idea
 Throzgh these calls she became inn nxessed with the idea of compiling a list i'm which should be included the names of all Alabama's writers, with tfseir addresses and the titles of tnair books and names of publishers Cooperating with Mrs Engstfeld In her work have been the various writer's clubs, newspaper men and college pxofessors of the state.
 Mir. J. R. Rutland of Auburn Tech has gotten every professor in that college to make for her bibhoG~ r~phy of bis writings and contribu- exona Do literature and science. , Colonel McCowey at the University ssf Alabama is getting the professors of that instiSution to do the same work.
 Exhaustive Study Bsra. Engstfeld's list is complied from exhaustive study of published histories on Alabama, of Alabamians i'm the histories of southern writers < and from the bihliographical ma ster-iai of the late Dr.S Thomas M Owen In his department of archives and history at the capitol. She has also studied the books Who's Who in America" and the "Womans Wnos who" besides numerous other books and writinss which might bear npon hnr work.
 MrS Engsstfead has given several wears to the study of her subject and her list is now ready for publication and will probably be issued as bull s1etin of Auburn.
 Ready RefereDce \ During tho meeting of the Alabama Federation of Women's Clubs in Bir- mangham in April a copy of this work was on file at the Studio Bookshop and was referred to for information by many women writers who visited Birmingham.
 Since the convention a number or Alabama authors have sent Mrs.
