synopsis.-Harriet Field, twenty
eight years old. and beautiful, is
the social secretary of the fiirta-
tious Mrs. Isabel Carter, at
"Crownlands," Richard Carriers
home, and governess of seventeen
year-old Nina Carter. Ward, TWEEN

able, fancies himself in love with
his mothers attractive secretary.
Mrs. Carriers latest affair" is with
young Anthony Pope, and the
youth is taking II very seriously.
Presiding over the teacups this
summer afternoon, Harriet is pro-
foundly disturbed by the arrival of
a visitor, Royal Blondin. Next
day. at tea party In the city,
Blondin makes himself agreeable
TO Nina, and leaves a deep impress
sion on the unsophisticated girl.
Harriet's agitation over the appear
ance OF Blondin at "Crownlands"
is explained by the fact that he
had been a disturbing element in
her life ten years before and she
fears him. The man is an avowed
adventurer, living on the gullibility

nounces to Harriet his intention of
marrying Nina, and urges her to
aid him. She is in a sense in his
power, and after pleading with him
to abandon his scheme agrees to
follow a policy OF neutrality.
Knowing the tender feeling she has
inspired in Ward Carter, Harriet
is tempted to marry him for the
position and wealth he can give
her, though realizing she does not
love him. Blondin has ingratiated
himself with Madame Carter. Rich
ards mother. and she is whole
heartedly In favor of his marriage
with Nina. Ward urges Harriet to
marry him. She procrastinates.
Mrs. Carter elopes with Pope. Blon-
din threatens Harriet. She prays
to do what Is right. Blondin and
Harriet agree to keep silent about
their past relations. Richard Car
ter proposes a marriage, entirely
businesslike, TO take place as soon
as he is divorced. Harriet says

agony Of parenthood, shared with the
man she loved, would have been &C.

CHAPTER x.

There was trouble at Linda's house;
trouble so terrible that Harriet's unex-
pected arrival caused no comment
caused no more than q weary flicker
of Linda's heavy eyes. Pip, the adored
first-born son, lay dangerously Ill, and
the whole household moved on tiptoe,
heartsick with dread. 1t was diph-
iberia, very bad, Fred stated lifelessly
Linda hardly left the room; they we're
afraid for her, too, "if anything hap
pened." IF anything happened"
Harriet thought she had heard the
phrase a hundred times before the
dreadful night came.
She had taken Linda's place for an
hour, but before 1t was up the mother
came back and they kept their vigil
together Fred answered the strange,
untimely ringing of the doorbell,
brought In packages, conferred in the
halls with the doctors. Midnight
came, two O'clock, four o'clock.
Suddenly there was panic. Har-
riet, by chance in the hall, saw Linda
and Fred and the doctors together,
heard Linda's quick, anguished "Yes!"
and Fred's "Anything" Her heart
pounded; the nurse ran upstairs. Har-
riet fell upon her knees with a Sob
bing whisper, "No-no-no !" and Lin
da chung to her husband with cry
torn from the deeps Of her heart "Oh,
pip-my own boy"
Dawn came slowly and reluctantly
at seven; the village lay bleak and
closed under sky OF unbrOken gray.
Here and there smoke streamed up
ward from a chimney, or window
pane showed an oblong Of pale light.
Harriet put out the light that was
becoming unnecessary. But her heart
was singing for JOY, and the house
was brimful of an inner light and
cheer that no winter bleakness could
touch. The girl had been crying until
she was almost blind, but 1t was cry
ing mixed with laughter and prayers
of utter thankfulness.
She met Linda at the door, weary
Linda, CHASTITY as to face, grayer as
to struggling hair, but with such radi-
ance In her eyes that Harriet, clasped
in her arms, began to cry again.
"Uh, Harriet-if / can ever thank
God enough ~ Pip's mother said, be-
ginning on her breakfast with one long
sigh. ooh, my dear He's sleeping
like a baby, God bless him, and dear
old Fred is sleeping, too. Oh, Harriet,

to be so blessed My boy, who has
never given anyone a moments care
or trouble since he was born-my dar-
ling. who looked up at me yesterday
with his beautiful eyes"
The fioodgates were loosed, and
Linda laughed and cried, while she
enjoyed her breakfast with the appe-
title Of a normal woman released from
cruel strain, whose whole brood lies
safely sleeping under her roof. Nam
my's light Illness, Pip's wet feet, Lin

Community Pride School will
open Monday, August 81. We shall
expect every patron as well as all pu-
pills to be present Monday morning
at $3.50 o'clock for the opening ex-
ercises. . We are looking forward to
another successful school term. it
will be just as good as the patrons,
teachers and pupils make it. 1t takes
all three working together to accom-
plish the greatest good. Our school
must be second to none in merit and
efficiency. This school was not es-
tablished for show, although we like
for people to see it because it is the
pride of the community. We detest
a mushroom" growth where there
is more noise and display than real
substance Our pride is in better
preparing the boys and girls of the
community for broader and better
life. Development is the result of
effort. Pupils must work if they
grow. After the opening exercises
we shall classify and assign lessons
and then dismiss for the day.

records kept by the bureau Of public
roads, it is now ascertained that there
is scarcely any difference between the
records of the bureau of public
roads and that of the Tennessee State
Highway Commission as to the sum
total of mileage and money spent in
its construction. The apparent differ
ence is explained by the different
methods of keeping the records of
the Tennessee State Highway Com
mission and that of the bureau of
public roads.
For instance, when a project is
completed in Tennessee, that is, the
work completed and accepted, both
by the Tennessee State Highway
Commission and the bureau of public
roads, it is carried by the Tennessee
State Highway Commission as COM
pleted project until the Federal gov
ernment pays it's part of the Fedora,
aid obligated under the project. This
explains the apparent discrepancies
heretofore.

Anti Mosquito Campaign.

Strenuous efforts are being made
to keep Union City mosquitoless
town. With the cooperation of all
the people of Union City and a lit
tie effort on your part, and only in
this way can we get complete control
of mosquitoes. Mr.. Rawls has just
completed a house to house inspec-
tion of all the houses in Union City
to eliminate all breeding places. This
has taken about four days. Some
sections of the city were in A No. 1
shape and almost every house re-
ported only a few mosquitoes or
none Other sections were not so for
tunate and the breeding in the back
yards was enough to supply many
families with swarols of these pests.
Any water standing for a week at a
time may breed mosquitoes, therefore
see to it that there is no standing
water on or about your premises.
