ENTHUSIASTIC CRY
OFGEORGIAW.C.T.U,
Washington" was the enthusiastic cry
of the Georgia Woman's Christian
Temperance Union at the meeting here
last night. The union will undoubt
edly take the light for prohibition Into
the national congress.
This was the feature of a striking ad
dress of Mrs. Lillian Stevens, presi
dent of the National Association, who

The sessions of the W. C. T. U/con
vention yesterday’ afternoon and laat
night were devoid ot unusual Interest,
the work being of a routine nature,
such as the reading of reports, ad
dresses on the part of delegates and a
strict regard for the official program
is being maintained.
A special reception was tendered dis
tinguished visitors, followed by a social
reception at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. A. C. Chancellor.
The evening session today will be de
voted to the Loyal Temperance Legion,
the children’s organization and its wortc.
There will be an address by Miss Anna
Adams Gordon, and during the evening
a gold medal contest will be given. This
contest, in which winners of silver med
als from over the state will participate,
will be conducted by Mrs. M. L. McLen
don, state superintendent.
At the afternoon session yesterday a
rising vote of thanks was given Gov
ernor Smith for signing the prohibition
bill, nnd the secretary was directed to
send him a telegram expressing the
gratitude of the state union.

Sho rose at once. "Good-morning,
then. I do not attempt the Impossi

"You are hasty, madame. It shall

Mrs. Taunton resumed her seat, and
In a few minutes ths rest of the mat
ter was concluded, and the baron took

"Mr. Fenwick, of course," she an

"I don't see—” he began, when she

don t see all the way yet, of course;
but I learned enough at Bclborough of
Mr. Fenwick’s position at tho foreign
onion to know that he Is one of the only
men there who could make such a
coup. Ho Is one of the minister's sec
retaries and has his absolute confi
dence."
•'But ho would never bo a parly to
such a thing ’Bltha!" cried Merrtdow.
"It Is at least certain that he would
be ruined If ho were suspected of It.
And do you not desire his ruin? Would
not that bo worth as much to us as
this Russian's secret service money?
Isn't ho In your way with the Par-
incnter girl? And am I not ‘Madame
Iloncourt,' tho head of our little band,
whoso wits before now have found the
means of doing even more difficult
things? Have patience, Gilbert, and
give mo some credit.”
''You are wonderful, I repeat; but for
tho life ot me I can not see how you
are going to do this."
She enjoyed his perplexity nnd
laughed gaily as. shs smoothed back
bar fair hair. Sho had beautiful hair
and a clear, soft complexion, with
sharp, clear-cut features and largo,
dark ayes full of changing expression.
"Listen. Wo start with much more
In our favor than usual. We have to
get a certain document from a certain
office. Wo know of some one who
knows where the document would be
secreted. Although the boy refused to
love me. we are yet excellent friends,
and It will be the easiest thing In the
world to find out from him precisely
where the document Is hidden. Is not
that a great deal 7" she asked, looking
up with a confident expression.
"We know there Is plenty of money
In the Bank of England, but that Is
not the same thing as being able to get
It," was the doubtful reply.
"It Is a good thing for you that I
am at hand to prompt you In many
things or you would make oceans of
mistakes, Gilbert. Are you losing faith
In mo?'
He bent forward nnd kissed her.
"That Is my answer, ’Bltha.”
"I love to, have you call me
that. Np one else could make
sueh an egregious name as Tabltha so
charming. However that girl ran have
preferred even ouch a good fellow as
young Fonwlck to my Gilbert harries
me, But you do seem to think me
stupid, all the same."
"But what will you do?" ho asked
aguln.
Kite set her head on one side ns she
looked at him nnd smiled. "In tho first
place I will punish you by not telling
you. But 1 shall get some of my
friends to arrange for me to see this
wonderful foreign office nnd spy out
the scene of operations. Then I shall
be able to tell you, or any one else,
exactly where you would have to go
and what you would have to do to get
the document; nnd then—why, then 1
shall Ret It, And that's all, except
that we shall also get the money, which
by tho way I am not the only one to
need.”
A frown gathered on Merrldew's
brow as she said this, but It pnssed
and he laughed. "I know you’ll do It all
right, ‘Bltha. You can tell ine the rest
when you please.”
"That will lie when I know It myself,
goose," she cried, stroking hts fore
head and then kissing It, "And now,
dearly as I love to have you here, you
must not come again until this thing
Is fixed. The Betbornughs and the Par-
menters, and, above all, that simpleton
Jack Fenwick, must never guess that
you and I are—well, what we are—
friends."
"Only friends, ’Bltha?"
"Ah, my dear. If they could only
know how I love you!” And she threw
herself Into his arms. "It must be
goodby for a time, Gilbert; and wher
ever we meet next time it must not
be here. So kiss me and make much
of me while we have the chance."
“If we were only rich enough to
marry. ’Bltha!” he exclaimed.
“Make haste and get the Parmenter
millions then.”
"I shall get them surely enough; but
this young Jackanapes must he pre
vented from marrying, that girl or It
may be too late."
"Ah, that’s my part, and I shall not
fall." .
"But how? How?" ho cried with
another frown of perplexity.
She laughed so'
her arms round
with the light of passion in her eyes.
“With such an end to gain do you think
I can fall? I swear to you. my dear
est, that his ruin Is as certain as the
love I behr you. This my pledge on
II," nnd drawing his face down she
kissed him on the lips.
She spoke as - earnestly as though
hers was a pledge of pureet love In
stead of one of cowardly, treacherous
dishonor, threatening ruin and dis
grace to an Innocent man and lifelong
misery to a pure sweet girl.

Tke NOVENT: The Petticoat That Gives
You Graceful Hip-Lin?s~Its Jersfy
Top is Psrfsct Fitting.
The NOVENT is a mighty good psttiesat f°r ths woman who wants
her gowns to lie smooth and snug ovsr her hips. It does away with
that bulging and irrsgularity that the ordinary petticoat is almost sure to
produce. It gives a slender, graceful effect—and that, you know, is
sminently dssirable this season; for Fashion s emissaries havs calmly but
firmly annQuncsd that ^w°men are to have no hips; which, reducsd to
practice, msans that they are te have just as slender and tapering linss
as possibls.
The NOVENT, then, is a boen. It has a d?ep top made of Jersey
fabric with good ^give” to it. It conforms to th? figure, lying over the
hips with perfect smoothness. It is drawn clos? about the waist
with an elastic bahd. No buttons, no placket to sag and gaps, no
bulgy places—but just a smooth, even, perfectly fitting garment that
looks wsll itsslf and hslps your gowns to look well.
The ruffle is a deep, well made one of either sateen or silk, with an
under drop. Some hav? hsth ruffles of silk, som? have the top o^e 0 f
silk ahd the under one of mercerized goods, and others have both of
the mercerized.

"Youra In alncerlty,
■ GILBERT MERRIDEW.”
Olive received thla letter on the
morning after her birthday; and
produced some of the effect upon
which the waiter had calculated. She
knew that Lady Belborough dM not
like her, for the mistress of the Cas
tle had on more than one occasion
made her feelings unmistakably plain.
The truth was that sho waa angered
by the Influence which Sllverbeech had
gained In the village of Belborough
and the district round; she envied Its
owner's Immense wealth; and was In.
tensely Jealous of Olive's personal pop
ularity.
Lord Belborough's Income was so
small, owing to the heavy mortgages
on tho estutes, that It was only with
the narrowest cheese-paring manage
ment the Castle was kept going at
all. This was well known all over the
country; and his wife's endeavors to
conceal the fact under the cloak of
exaggerated pomp and 'dignity, were
recognlxed and ridiculed. Moreover,
as she herself was of no family—Lord
Belborough having married her In his
teens when she was on ths stage—her
Insolently patronizing airs had mode
her Intensely disliked.
But until Mr. Parmenter's arrival at
Sllverbeech, the Castle Inlluence had
been undisputed; and then the change
had come, gradually, but surely.
There had been no display, no os
tentation, no squandering of money
for the sake of personal advertise
ment. But no appeal for any worthy
cause ever passed unheeded, whether
large or email. The church needed
restoring; Mr. Parmenter found all the
money. New schoole, a village library,
a workman's Institute were wanted;
Mr. Parmenter's cheques paid the
builders. A hard winter tried the
rural population; and at SOverbeech was
started an extensive plan for the re
building of every rotten, tumbledown
cottage In the district, giving work
and wageB to all who asked for them.
As a result, the whole countryside
looked to Sllverbeech for the lead In
all movements: and Lady Belborough
resented the transfer of allegiance as
bitterly as If It had been a wilful per
sonal Insult.
Latterly, Olive, clever, clear-headed,
shrewd-wltted girl that she was, had
taken charge of these matters, greatly
to Mr. Parmenter's delight; and on
more than one occasion she and the
mistress of the castle hod come In con-
lllet. In one Instance a movement af
fecting the whole county was ■ con
having his father on his side, had won
his way.
Olive knew, therefore, that what Mer-
rldew had said was likely enough to be
true, and the words rankled. But she
was sure of . her lover. When he had
first asked her to marry him there hnd
been no more thought of money In his
mind than there had been any knowl
edge of his rank In hers. They loved
each other, and despite his mother's
hostility, Olive had eet about the task
of preparing for her wedding with a
heart that would have been entirely
light and glad but for the condition of
her father's health.
And a day or two after the formal
engagement an Incident occurred which
caused her the gravest concern on this
account.
A servant came hurrying to her to
say that the master of Sllverbeech had
hnd a fainting fit and was III. Hasten
ing to the library, she found him lying
on a couch, faint and III and gasping
hard for breath. On the floor close be
side him lay a telegram, which she read
In the hasty glance she cast at It;
"After all these years have just heard
of you. Expect me. "RACHEL."
Replacing the message In its envel
ope. she put It away In his pocket while
applying the remedies always kept at
hand for these heart attacks; and as
soon as he was able to be moved she
had him taken to bed. '
"He asked for the telegram and ap-

The message had indeed disturbed
him profoundly. It hnd served to re
open the one page of his life of which
he waa bitterly ashamed. In the long
distant past, more than twenty years
before, he had been entangled In the
tolls of a beautiful and unscrupulous
woman. In his Infatuation he had been
suspected of an act which would have
brought him under the law, hid he not

Although Innocent of the crime, he
had since made reparation a hundred
fold for It, but the remembrance of
that chapter of hla life had been like a
•courge of scorplona to a man of hla
naturelly honorable character and ner-
voua, aensltive dlapoeltlon. He had
worn the sackcloth and ashes of re
morseful repentance for all the yean
between, and the thought that the se-
cret waa now about to be revealed to
the world made him ertngo and cower
In morbid wretchedneaa and bitter Buf
fering.
All that day and night and the next
day he lay miserably discounting the
consequences. The revelation could not
have come at a worse moment. His be.
loved Olive was about to make a mar-
rlage on which her whole happiness
depended, and If the facts were known
It seemed to him In his morbid fear
o«r life wouia be wrecked.
