The general trend of the pri-
mary election, in as far as it was
taken part in by the citizens,
was satisfactory to the lovers of
good government. But a far too
large number of voters paid no
heed to the days supreme duty.
The result of the election in this
state. as far as governor is con
cerned, appears to be too close for
comfort at this writing, the friends
of both Messrs Hartley AMI French
claiming victory. In King Coun-
ty there was some close contests
in the legislative and county cons
missioner matters. Island folk

OFFICIALS RECOVER
 I3 STOLEN AUTOS

GADSDEN, Ala, Feb. 23.-(Spe- eial. )--Sheriff Blair and representa- tive of the Underwriters detective bu- reau of Atlanta, Ga., have arrested Walker and A. J. Martin near Centre with stolen car in their possession. It had been known for some time that stolen Fords were being brought into Cherokee county and sold in the rural section nearabout, and when these two men showed up Friday night with the car for sale the sheriff soon had them in jail in Centre.
 They gave their place of residence as Cummings, Ga. In all 13 cars have been found in. the county and identified, most of them being stolen in Atlanta.
 From all accounts there are others who have been engaged in the business. The Martins will probably be tried in federal court in Georgia.

.ATMoRE, Ala, Feb. 23.-The Chamber 2of Commerce of this city is approaching the close of the first year of it's history.

The opinion now seems to be prevalent that the organization has justified its ex- istence and that the city is better and bigger and stronger in. many ways as a result of the community efforts that have been put forth.

the great trouble you have taken in
writing this letter for me? Your
shirts or your trousers may need
mending, perhaps, eh?"
mo, l most humbly thank you all
the same"
! felt for the moment that she had
made me go quite red with shame,
and yet knew of no cause for the
feeling of such shame before her.
Then she went away, slowly as if
she would have wished to stay longer
with me. Thank God, she did not,
however.
A week or two passed and l saw
hardly anything of her. One eve
ming, rather late, / was sitting at
my window and whistling to try and
drive away some of the terrible
monotony. I was horribly bored.
The weather was vile and felt nv
self entirely at loose end for some
thing to do. From sheer tiredness of
life | began desultory sort of self
analysis. God knows this was dull
enough work, and was about to
abandon it when suddenly the door
opened. God be thanked. Someone
entered the room.
"Oh, Mr.. Student, you have no
very pressing business, | trustl"
1t was Teresa. Humph.
mo, what is it,"
Il was going to ask you to write
me another letterr
Every well. To Boles, eh?"
Moths time it is from him."
"What?"
Stupid girl that l amt is not
for me, Mr.. Student, l beg your par
don. It's for a friend of mine
that is to say, not exactly a friend
but more an acquaintance, perhaps
Ia man acquaintance. He was
sweetheart just like me here, Teresa.
That's how it is you see. Will you
be good enough to write me letter
to this Teresa?"
looked at her. She was obviously
troubled. Her fingers trembled. For
a moment it all seemed very foolish
and hidden to me, then suddenly /
saw how things stood.
look here, my lady," l said.
There is no Boles at all and neither
is there any Teresa. You've been
telling me pack of sheer lies, and
that's all there is about it. Now,
| don't want your company at all, /
assure you, and you had better let
the matter drop now, once and for
all"
Suddenly she seemed to grow very
terrified and distraught. She began
to balance herself on one foot and
then upon the other. Her face was
suffused with violent blush and she
began to splutter in a comical man
ner. / instantly saw that l had made
a great mistake in imagining that
she wished to draw me from the path
of virtue. No, it was evidently some
thing very different.
"Mr. Student" she began, then
suddenly she turned and, with a
wave of her hand, left the room. For

J. SUTTON PATERSON

What is it?" she said. "As / told
you, there's no such person on earth.
Boles never existed for a minute
even. | wanted him to exist so terri
bly,, you see. Am / not then a hui
man person like you and other peo-
pie? What harm was there in my
writing to him even if he never re-
ceived the letters. No, surely / did
harm to nobody at all by this silly
trick of mine"
said nothing; as far as 1 could
see, there was nothing to say.
"When you have written letter
to me from him, / take it to my girl
friends who read and are Jealous.
/, They all wish they had lover like
me. Some of them even have the
courage to tell me So"
At last | understood and felt hor-
ribly ashamed of my stupidity. By
the side of me, not three yards away,
was poor human creature for
whom no one in all the world had the
least love or sympathy. This poor
creature had been forced to invent
a friend for herself. A good and
true friand tbJE never existed, or
ever could.
ia see," she continued, ,''when
they read these letters to me it
seems as if he almost existed and
really loved me a little. It makes
life so much easier for me in every
way"
deuce take me for fool" said I,
when I heard this.
And from thence onward, twice a
week, wrote her a letter from
Boles, and an answer from Teresa
to Boles. wrote these letters well,
l can assure you, and she listened
to them and wept-wept? Reared,
| should say, for her great bass voice
filled my little room entirely. That
was really the last / saw of her. She
left the house some little time after
wards and vanished entirely. 1
heard that she had stolen something
or other and been put in prison for
it. Heaven alone knows.
Ny acquaintance shook the ash
from his cigarette, looked up at the
sky pensively, and thus concluded:
"Well, well, the more a human
creature has tasted of the bitter
things of life the more he hungers
for the sweet ones. And we, wrapped
round in the rags of our virtues. and
regarding others through the hellish
mist of our self-sufficiency, and
firmly persuaded of our own impre-
ciability, do not well understand
such things"
And the whole thing turns out
stupidity enough-yes, stupidity and
very cruelty into the bargain. The
fallen classes we say. And who are
the fallen classes, / should like to
know? First of all, they are people
with the same bones, flesh and blood
as ourselves, We have been told this
day after day for ages and ages.
Yes, they tell US things like this and
we actually listen, yes, listen, and
the Devil himself only knows how
horrible and cruel the whole thing is.
Or are we completely depraved by
the loud sermonising of humanism?
In reality we are all fallen folk. and.
as Tar as can see, very deeply fallen
INTO the abyss of self-suficiency and
the terrible conviction of our own
superiority.
But enough of this. It is all as old
as the hills-so old that really it is
a shame to speak of it, or even think
of it perhaps.
Yes-very old, indeed. That's
where it is.

few minutes sat there with a de-
cidedly unpleasant feeling in my
mind. I listened. Her door was
flung violently to-plainly the poor
wretch was very angry. L
thought it over and at last decided
to 60 to her, and, inviting her to
come into my room, to write what
ever on earth she might fancy.
/ entered her room and looked
around She was sitting at the table.
leaning her head on her hands and
down her face ran two great tears.
Listen to me-" l said.
Now, whenever l come to this part
of my story, / always feel most
idiotic and childish. Heaven knows
why, but it is so.
listen to me-"
She seemed to leap from her seat,
such was her haste, and, coming to
me, she placed her two hands on my
shoulders. Then she began to
whisper in a pecuriarly low voice.
Look now. It's like this. There's
no Boles at all and of course there's
no Teresa. But what in the name
of God is that to you. Is it then such
a hard thing for you to draw your
pen across a sheet of paper for nv
pleasure? Eth? Answer me thatl
Still such fair-haired little boy. nv
God | almost love you as if you were
my own son. No, there's nobody at
all; no Boles, no Teresa; there you
have it. and much good may it do
you ALSO"
Pardon me-" said, utterly dumb
founded by such a reception. "What
does all this mean? There's no
Boles, you cay. No Teresa. Come.
tell me all about it like a good little
girl. Come now"
mo then-so it is. Exactly like
that"
l didn't understand it at all. I
nxed my eyes upon her and tried to
make out which of US was losing his
or her senses. But she went slowly
to the table, searched for something.
and then returned to me, saving in
an offened tone:
IF it is so terribly hard for you
to write to Boles, there's your letter.
Take it. Doubtless others will write
to him for me-"
l looked. In her hand was the let
ter / had already written to the non
existent Boles. "Hum," thought T.
this is getting more complexities
every moment"
Listen, Teresa. What is the
meaning of all this? Why must YOU
get others to write for You when
have already done so, and yet YOU
haven't sent it,"
"Sent it to where?"
"Why to this-Boles!"
"There's no such person."
Absolutely and utterly failed to
her or it. There seemed
for me but to split and 90,
as they say in little Russia. Then,
with an effort it seemed, she ex-
planned.
