Il am thinking of giving up part
of the house to wounded soldiers"
David said presently. More than
half of 1t is always shut up, and the
authorities have been asking for
additional convalescent homes and
hospitals; these rooms would do
splendidly for wards"
YES"
Mary's voice sounded wistful; her
thoughts had flown to Nigel. the son
of this great house, who had given
his life for England.
He would never come here any
more; the beautiful rooms would
never again echo to the sound of his
CHEEKY laugh or voice.
She stif1ed a sigh. David looked
down at her quickly.

She answered him quite simply:

They had reached the wide land

"Doesn't-doesn't anyone ever use

Unconsciously she spoke in a
whisper; David shook his head.
''It hasn't been touched for years.
There are other rooms further on.

His steps echoed hollowly as he
led the way; there was so little fur

The marriage OF Dolly and Nigel
Bretherton proves unhappy. When

Mary Furnival. Nigel is killed and
Dolly marries an old sweetheart,
Robert Durham.
Dolly and Robert sail for America
3nnd word comes of the sinking of

Mary is ashamed to tell him of Dol

FOR his brothers wife and asks her
to live at Red Grange with him and
his aunt. Mary is very happy in her
new home. David asks Mary If she
pcaieves in ghosts. He tells her Red
Grange is haunted.

house.
David rushed of to 'tidy," as he
faughingly said. He had given up
dressing for dinner since Mary came.
for Miss Varney had been quite
right when she said she was sure
the girl had not an evening frock,
and something in Mary's manner,
some little reserve and pride, had
kept her as yet from Offering any
such presents.
There is plenty of time," she told
David gently, when he urged her to
see that Mary got all she wanted.
We don't want to frighten her,
David, and think ane would resent
any such overtures just at present"
But. to David's masculine ignor-
Rnce. no woman had ever looked
half SO charming as Mary when he
matched her across the dinner table.
= The old room, with it's oak-panel-
d walls and hanging armor. made
a perfect background for her slight
figure and dainty head; the light of
dhe red shaded lamps lent the touch
of color to her pale cheeks that
made her almost beautiful. He did
rot realize how often his eyes turn
ed to her.
When Mary and Miss varney rose
from the table, he Joined them i'm.

gropes for its mothers hand.
And is this where the ghost
walks?" she asked presently.
He shook his head.
"No-much further along" He
looked down at her. Are you
afraid?" he said.
"Of. course not!" There was in
dignation in her voice.
They went on to the end of the
passage; there was another door
there, much wider than the first.

here?" asked Mary suddenly.
A quick frown crossed David's
face.

said.
Bretherton laughed.

and then entered.

"Oh" said Mary softly. She lool,

There was something depressin

{. B ARTHUR TELLS
Why COMMITTEE LEI
MEN VOTE
Member of Executive Commit
tee Indicates Test Cast Nee
essary To Decide Law
SAYS STATUTE is. CRUDE
Would Be Difficult, He Says In
Keeping Votes Apart Under
Present Law

Fred b. Arthur, member of the
Sumter County Democratic Execu-
tive committee, and the man who
made the motion to permit Ameri-
Gus voters to participate in the
nomination of county school super
intendent as voters in the March
ne primary, today explained his
position in this matter to a Times
Recorder representative In his
opinion the law as set out in Sec
ton lat Of the school code of
Georgia represents "a very crude
piece of legislation" and test
case should be brought to decide
its constitutionality.
Telling of the controversy now
being waged as a result of the ac-
ton of the committee. Mr.. Aruthr
today stated.
Being a member of the Sum-
ter County Democratic Executive
Committee and being one who at
our last meeting that made a mo-
ito nthat we let everybody in Sum
ter county and in the City of Amer
icus vote for candidates for county
school superintendent. This motion
was carried by a vote of 8 to 8.
"At the time said motion was
made, it was explained why such a
motion was made and that was to
make a test case Of same, we had
the law before US, Snd found it to
be a very crude piece of legisla-
ton.
For instance, should we pro-
hibit the people of Americas to
vote for county school superinten-
dent, we had just as well say that
they should not vote for the COM
missioners of roads and revenues,
as the principal is one and the
same.
Again the people in Americas
that have owned farms in Sumter
county have been paying a special
county school tax for years. This
tax is to help run the schools of
the county. Then why should these
land owners be prohibited in vot-
ing for county school superinten-
dent.
Then suppose we had said the
people Of Americas should not be
allowed to vote, how could we have
kept the vote separated in the 9th
district? You see Americas is the
voting precinct of the 9th district,
but all the voters don't live in
Americas.
Therefore, we would have had
to establish voting place outside
of Americas in the>27th district in
order to have kept votes from get
ting mixed.
Now then, what we did was done
in the kindest of feeling, but in
order for the best interest Of the
county at large"
