SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1 vrr. m HAPEV1LLE, ONE OF MOST ATTRACTIVE SUBURBAN TOWNS, WELDED TO ATLANTA BY OPENING OF NEW TROLLEY LINE First Car Runs From Atlanta on Sat urday. A new Itfht burns bright In the eyes of the citizens of beautiful Hapevllle today. ( They walk with a buoyant and firmer and more elastic step. The spirit of progress that ever has characterized Atlanta characterizes as well this beau, tiful suburb, which springs today Into active competition with College Park and East Point and Decatur and the other enterprising little cities which compose the attractive setting of sub urbs which add so much to the attract iveness of Atlanta. The people of Hapevllle are happy— genuinely, enthusiastically happy. For many years—ever since the street car line was first projected to Fort Me Pherson—they have hoped and striven for a car line to their fair city. Today their hopes are realized—the bud and blossom of anticipation bloom forth Into the full flower of reality. The street car line came to pass at 1 o’clock Saturday afternoon. At that hour the first car from Atlanta to Hapevllle was run. It was closely fol lowed by another car, both of them “specials” furnished by the Georgia Hallway and Electric Company, and both filled with prominent Atlantans, including the county commissioners and the street car officials, to whom the patriotic citizens of Hapevllle ten dered ft barbecue at 2 o’clock. Splendid Barbecue. The commodious grounds and build ings of the Georgia Baptist Orphans’ Home were tendered the entertainment committee for the occasion, and It was here the guests were entertaind. The barbecue was served In the muln din ing room of thin splendid Institution. Several speeches were delivered, nnu the 'cue In every way proved a splen did affair, attesting at once tho hos pitality and the appreciation of the Hapevllle has for years been one of the most attractive of Atlanta’s sub urbs. With the completion of the street cor line. Its attractiveness and promi nence will be enhanced manifold and multiform. "W# are cuing to give Atlanta’s other suburbs an object lesson In how'to grow. Wo don’t have to grow good— wo are already that. Wo will grow ^hls Is the way a Hapevllle mer chant puts It. "Haiievllle.” stated Mayor Sims, "re ally ourht to be Atlanta’s most attract ive suburb. There la no reusnn why It should not be. The city Is beautifully Mid olf. It has a spacious area, allow ing the residences to be built far apart.

The mayor voices the sentiments of I the whole community. The beginning I ■of the car line marks tho beginning of! a new era for Hapevllle. There can be no doubt that from now on It will grow as It has never grown before—aa At lanta has grown and will continue to grow. To those who desire suburban homes. It offers every attraction, every ad vantage that one could wish. As the mayor stated, the streets aro wide and beautifully laid off. The' county commissioners have had nil of, them well .paved with chert, and they I furnish a splendid means of egreae and Ingress, and make splendid driveways.

Is Ideally situated. It Is 9 miles due south of Atlanta, 2 miles northeast of College I’Hrk. •» miles southeast of East Point, 4 1-2 miles northwest of Forest Park, COLONEL REUBEN ARNOLD. Hapevllle Is on the malt! lino of the Central railroad from Atlanta to Ha. vannah. The Central, In addition to Its regular trains through here, has been running accommodation trains regu larly every day, of Into flv# each day, with three coaches on eae.'i run. A commutation rate of 5 centa only haa been charged. - Tho street car line to Hapevllle will bo run on a 20-mlnuto schedule, except during the busy hours of the clay, when THE PRE8BYTERIAN CHURCH.

Dr. Hone was then ned Is cow a holder of extensive property In and around Hapevllle. and he has been largely In strumental In Its upbuilding. The city of Hapevllle was Incorpo rated In 1*52. It was only In recent years, however, that tho Jlttlo city struck Its proper stride and began to develop Into the Importance that Its op portunities and advantages merit. No Race Suioide. Hapevllle Is n city that would com mend Itself particularly to the presi dent and nil the lovers of large fami lies. With a population of between 700 and 800, It has 140 children In the Hapevllle public school, which, by the | way, Is considered one bf the beet I schools under tho direction and super- 1 vision of the county superintendent.

The mayor of the city Is a truck gardener. Hapevllle Is a city of beautiful sur roundings. of splendid advantages and Immense possibilities. The completion of the street car line will do much toward bringing about the realisation of these polslblllttei, and the splendid endeavor and the energv and patriotism of her clttxenry, who ore not so far removed from Atlanta not to have caught the contagion of her cele brated “spirit," wilt continue to bear fruit In due season. In the meantime It Is a beautiful sub urb, a splendid place to live and breathe and have one's being. And Atlanta, you know, has post poned, not abandoned, the extension of her limits!

Never had thlr. ty ecnU' worth all my life.” "I am half an American," Raid Olive, rather ut n loaa wlmt to any. ' You don't any.

Snakss alive, but I'm Juat real glad.” "My father was Knglleh," continued Olive, seeing that her companion woe Intereated enough to forget her own troubles for the moment. "He married my mother In the Argentine and had cattle and land and thlnge." "And made a pile, 1 guess. I’ve heard It's a wonderful place.” "Yes. he was rich.” "You don’t say. And do you rich glrle on this side go about alone like this?" "I am not rich now;- and os they walked Olive went on to speak of the old llfo In the Argentine nnd presently of. her school life In Purls and England, nnd then of the time ut Sllvcrbecch. not mentioning uny names, however. "How old are you?" naked Selma. "Nearly twenty-one." "So am I; but sakes' alive, what a different life I've had;" and the weak blue eyes clouded ugnln. "Would you care to hear It? My room le clone here. Will you come and see? We can talk better there than In the street." Not paying much heed to the direc tion In which they were going, Olive and her companion had crossed Oxford street, passed along Tottenham Court road, nnd were now close to Morning, ton Crescent In the Hampstead road. Her companion stopped at one of the houses In u very quiet street, and re- ]touted the Invitation. olive hesitated about accepting. Her landlord, Ins/iector Robson, had warn ed her about the dangers of London, and her first Inclination was to refuse. Hut Belma Interested her deeply, and her instincts assured her that there was no harm In her; so she changed her mind and entered the house. Afterwords she often recalled that momentary hesitation and when think ing over all the momentous results that followed from the visit, speculated cu riously about the difference It would have made In her ltfe, hen she not con quered that first disinclination. They wont up to the front room on the second lloor—a bed-sitting room, In tho language of lodging house keepers. It was scrupulously clean and tidy, plainly furnished with tho ugliest of furniture, and almost absolutely devoid of ornaments. A small tray with tea was rendy on the table In tho window, and close to It, swept out of the way to make room for the tray, were u couple of photographs In cheap gilt frames. "Better than Chicago, anyway," said Helmn, noting Olive'll glance around. "But I reckon they ought to go one better still. Guess they'll havo too," she added as she threw her hat qn the bed. “I’m getting wise again on tills side, you see." olive eat down nt the table. "Why you're qulto English. Afternoon tcu.” "I kind of cotton to It. Gueee I'll esk Mrs. Braider for nnother cup. She'i the boss here," and she roeo to call to the landlady. "May I look at these?" oeked Olive, taking up the photographe, "I guess you may that. They’ll rome In the story," was the reply as she went out of the room. Olive picked them up nnd glanced Idly at tho first one. Than she started violently and uttered an Involuntary cry. It wae a likeness of Gilbert Merri dew, In a fever of sudden excitement ehe snatched up the other. It was tbe foes of Mrs. Merridew. In sudden fear she rose, feeling the color hod left her cheeks; Had she fallen Into another trap? 8he turned to hurry from the room at once, and then Belma Hammond came back, shutting ths door behind her. "Let me go. Let me go at once,” 1 cried Olive, wildly, facing her compan Ion, who etuod blocking her escape.

Belma Hammond Hood holding the door of her room and staring In blank amazement at Olive until her weak eyes dropped and signalled alarm. Then she turned and threw open the door, "Bakes alive, what has skeared you Course you can go If you have a mind. Hut when the way was thus made free for her, Olive began to be ashamed of her sudden panic. The'desire to learn what connection there could be Iwtwcen this girl and the Merridewe took the place of fear, and she heel luted. "Those photographs! What ere they to you?" she asked, eagerly. "Say, you don't mean you know either of them?" cried Belma In un mistakably genuine astonishment and curiosity. On the Instant Olive decided that ibe was sincere. "Who are they?" "Why, they just raised me. sure. I call her nuntle, but I don’t know whether she Is that or not The man'a her son, Gilbert, when he Isn’t Gideon Mawford. About os big a tough as ever skipped from the police of Chi cago. I'll tell you. If you like; but don't you etay tf you'd rather hop." "Tell me. I helped you today. Tell me." said Olive, excitedly. The woman ut the house brought In the tea and the Interval gave Olive time to recover self-possession. "I don't know who my father was, and never knew my mother, either." said Selma, ns she poured out a cup of tea and handed it to Olive. "All I know Is that auntie raised me, and raised me real hard. too. She was on tbe stage, and a beauty at that, I can tell you. But say. who are you, any way? 1 didn't catch your name at the police station." -My name'is Olive Fermenter, and those two have dono me a grievous wrong. Don't tell mo anything, If you'd rather not." It was the other's turn now to be excited. Uttering her favorite excla mation. she nearly let her cup fall In astonishment. "Sukcs alive! You don’t say! Why you're the Miss he came over to mar ry! If he knew we'd met, lie wouldn't say u thing! My!” she erled. "Should think I would tell you! And ufter what you did for me today, too, After some moments out came her story. She hnd been brought up by Mrs. Merridew as a drudge; put to do all the household work, with kicks, blows, and abuse as hsr only pay ment; thruet into a thousand tempta tions and at last, when the rest were forced to leave the States, put Into prison on n false charge of theft. Olive's blood boiled as she listened to the recital. "But I’m getting some of my own back." continued Selmn. "I told you I was getting wise to their plans; nnd I'll tell you. He was tho head of a bunch of crooks—thieves, you know— but swell thieves—and had to skip. That was when he came over to find and marry you. I don't know the whole of that game; but It was crooked, r ou bet. When I cams out of prison heard he hnd come over to this side, and one of the gang they had bested put up enough money for me to follow, and told me where to find some of the buneh. I rounded them up, all right, all right; and then bluffed them Into tak ing care of me." “Do you really mean that Gilbert Merridew Is a thief?" cried Olive, "You ask any police captain In Chi cago. About os warm stuff aa, any crook. Why, the gang Is operating here In London. There's « Mme. UoA- court at the head with him. She's a swell head, sure, Poes the society play somewhere In London " with a big splash; but a crook like the rest, sure. There's a big scheme on now about some papers In which soino one In your foreign bureau, or whatever It Is called, Is Involved." "The foreign office, do you mean?" cried Olive, eagerly. She was now In tensely excited. "Do you know the name" Was It Fellowcs?” | "I don’t know; but I can find It all out: I should like to do It for you, be cause I'd like to see you again,” she said vory simply. Guess you're about the only soul In this big city of yours I’d caro to. either." For a moment Olive hesitated wheth er to tell the whole story of the Merrl- dews* treatment of her to this strange girl, but decided to wait for a while; at all events until a future meeting. "When con I see you again?" she asked. "You will do me a service I shall remember all my Ufa If you can get me the Information about all this." Sure I will. Either meet me any where you like or come here, say, In two days' time. I'll have It all right, all right.” 'Thank heaven we have met," cried Olivo earnestly. "But you'll not say a word about me?" “That's a cinch, sure,” was the reply, with a smile. "If they got wise to It. guess they'd be mad and Just want to put the seas between us." "Then you had better know how to write to me In case of need," said Olive shrewdly, and she wrote down Mr. Cusement’s address and gave it to Selma. The girl took the paper, read It over two or three times, and then lit a match nnd burnt It very deliberately. "Reckon it's safer,” she said, laconically. With a smile at her caution, Olive rose to leave. She was anxious to get away to think over uil she had learned. Selmn held her hand and looked wist fully Into her eyes. "Guess you're about find rendered her such timely help In to find out everything, and when I've the afternoon. But she decided «o tell done It we'll see about that. Not be- Jack first; and afterward.

"But maybe you don't cotton Casement. She put one question to the Inspector. Turning the conversation upon Chicago and tho police methods there with crim inals, she said: "I heard the other day of a regular gang of thieves there with a Mme. Boncourt nnd n man named Gideon Mawford nt their head. Did you over hear of them, Mr. Robson?" "I mustn't tell office secrets, Mtss Pnrmentcr, but we have their records at the Yard. Pinkertons sent It to us;" and ho went on to describe the unoffl clal system of detective work. Pinker ton's, favored In the United States. It was a sufficient confirmation of the truth of Belmu’n statement, and when Jack came on the following day Olive told him all thut had occurred, But he was sceptical. "Of course there are such gangs, Olive; but our system Is so much better than that of the States that they don’t do much here. That girl must have been a bit hysterical'after her narrow escape, and as for what she hints about the foreign office"—he shook his head with a coni fldent smile—"let ’em try." "But the rest of the news, Jack?" "Do you believe It?" "I am sure Selina Hammond was sincere." “Thon It proves one thing. You URtn’t attempt to fight imcli poaple single-handed, and that means"— He ended with a glance end a smile. "I know what you mean, of course." “All roads lead to Rome, dearie. You’d better marry me,' you’ll have to yield In the end. So you may ns well do It at once. Besides, have you thought of this? Supposing nil this girl told you Is trus; supposing thin Merridew Is the confounded scoundrel she describes, and supposing again that you were to be successful In bringing him to book—I say supposing all this, and It's a pretty big supposition i—how would It disprove that marriage ut Sheffield?" "Of course, I don’t see that yet," agreed Olive readily. "But It will come out of It, Jack. I am at sure of that as > I am that—that”— "That I love you?" he put In, taking her hand. "Yes." she nodded brightly; “os sura as I am of that." "Thsn 1 the need of our waiting?" "All roads lead to Rome, as you said, don't they?

"But I do," declared Olive, and kissed her, Selma sighed. "I hope we shall meet again, but It would be Just my luck not to." Impulsively Olive kissed her again. She was deeply touched by the weary hopelessness of her manner. "Wc shall be friends, Selma, you'll see," she eald. “I Just love to hear you say that, but l"—and she finished with a doleful shake of the head and another deep sigh ns the tears welled up In her eyes.
