she glanced at the article with
the extravagant sensation Of one
who Is seeing heaven in dream.
An ecstatic smile slowly parted
her lips. The article was entitled
Are Women Inferior2' It was
signed Nora Lee Meadows. =
She glanced swiftly down the
page. No doubt about it--those
sentences were hers. She laughed
aloud.
Al few months previous Godfrey
Bell had given her a book by an
English critic belittling the intelli-
gence Of women. This had SO in
famed her hot young antagcn-
isms. 30 famed her sex hostility
that is often rampant at eighteen
that Nora Lee wrote caustic
answer.
She submitted it as her weekly
theme in English, and for days
waited in a burning unrest for
some glowing tribute on the
scholarly refutation. She felt
that she had entrenched women in
their rights. There would never
again be a pig headed Englishman
to spoil good white paper with
such witless sophistry.
Weeks passed. Mr. Bell made
no comment whatever. ~She was
o1trageously piqued. She remem-
bered now that she had secretly
accused him of siding with the
English author and therefore de-
testing SO brilliant a setback as
she had given.
A VindicatiOn.
Bell noticed the momentary
scowl this recollection brought TO
her face. Then you're dispIeased.

Her look bathed him with dewy,

An older girl seeing the boyish
anxiety in Godfrey Bells face

power to hurt.
He sat STOPPING forward on the
edge of a pupils deska nervous,
esthetic fellow with slender wrists
and rather disconcerting, cynical
lines carved from his nose to his
mouth. His mouth that was often
arched with scorn was now drawn
tightly in a violence Of suppressed
emotion.
But Nora Lee was entranced
with the sheer wonder Of the
printed page-the marvellous beauty
of black letters on white paper
and her name so largely blazoned.

PRISONERS DENY
 CRUELTY REPORT
Forty River Falls Camp Men
 Brand Protest As False

MONTGOMERY, Alas Aug. 4.-De- nial of charges of abuse and poor living conditions made in a communication last week from the prisoners at River Falls prison camp was carried in a let ter to the Montgomery Advertiser this morning, signed by forty of the pris- oners at the camp.
 The statement was written by F. H. Hall and subscribed to by 20 others. The complaint was referred to as ''very severe and upjust and uncalled for criticism"
 In the letter carried this morning, Hall claims that Monroe Edwards, whose name is mentioned in the com plaint as having been whipped, 'has had more privileges than any man in the whole prison" and that only after he had cut fellow prisoner was he whipped, and then he was struck "only few licks with light belt.
 As for Asa Tucker, John Thomas and Adam Belby, if they ever have been whipped since I have been in this pris- on l don't know it."
 Announcement was made last Friday by Governor Brandon that an investi- gation would be made of conditions at the prison camp. Late Friday evening, after Dr. F. F. Blair, prison inspector, had submitted a report of his inspec- tion of the camp, in which he stated that conditions were not as described in the prisoners complaint, Governor Brandon announced that no further in- VeStlgatlons would be made.
