DOUGLAS. Ga., June 2.—Sheriff Davit! Ricketson. of Coffee county, returned from New York this morning with Thomas R. Cox. who is charged with embezzling over $30,000 from the Bank of Willacooche and wrecking the bank. About the first of May. Cox. who had for some time been bookkeeper In ths Bank of Willacooche, was laid off on ac i count of the business not demanding his services. A few days after he left the hank, authorities discovered irregularities and closed the bank and telephoned for the state bank examiner to come and take 1 charge, after which an audit of the bank's affairs was made, which develop ed a shortage of over $30,000 running through a period of two years. The bank’s books had various false entries to cover up the shortage. Cox disappeared and for some time his whereabouts were unknown, until he was located in New York about May 1. It is understood Cox was located by means of a letter written by him to a young lady in Coffee county. It is understood Cox denies emphatic ally that he got any part of the $30,000 shortage, but knows who did get it and will divulge the information at the | proper time. When arrested Cox had I no money on his person nor any avail able that the sheriff could ascertain. It is said that he will have a commitment trial within the next few days, and at this trial sensational developments are expected and parties higher up in the bank may be implicated.

Palmer, of the Chat tahoochee circuit, has received the fol lowing letter signed "Girard:" "George Palmer, you think you have played smaft by going to Montgomery to help rob the people of Girard. You will find out that it will cost you your life yet, you white haired —” In making the letter public late to day the solicitor general gave out an interview, in which he declared that he didn't propose to be bluffed by any such threats; that he proposed to do all in his power to enforce the state prohibi tion act, as he had been doing in the ; past. He said he believed the situation : ir. both Girard and Columbus had im i proved and that “we were on the road ito prohibition in realty." He admits he I went to Montgomery in the interest of , prohibition. Bible Institute A Unique School LOS ANGELES. Cal., June 3.—The ' * Bible Institute of Los Angeles is a I unique organization.

It grew from a club he organized, called the I "Fisshermen’s club.” “We favor no denomination,” says 1 Superintendent Horton. "We teach how the work of God can be carried on in a i practical way. and see that it is carried into the places that other ministers do not reach.” i There are 30 denominations repre- ; sented in the Bible institute and the I i building housing them cost $1,500,000. * New Army Bill Signed by Wilson WASHINGTON, June 4.—-President I W;lson today signed the army reorgani- | z-tion bill, first of the important pre- 1 paredness measures, passed by congress I during the present session. He used a : pen belonging to Senator Smith, of j South Carolina, who desired it for a souvenir. An analysis of the bill by Chairman i Chamberlain, of the senate military I committee, put the peace strength of ' I the army under the law at 211,000 of- , fleers and men, and the war strength |at a maximum of 201,500. As reorgan ized the national guard would number' *.457,000, making a grand total available j for war strength of 718,500. Rat Catcher Is Sent to Trenches LONDON, June 3. —A man who de-1 scribed himself as a professional rabbit I catcher and with some experience at rat . ting, claimed exemption from military I duty on the ground that his services ' were invaluable to his country. He said he had killed 10,000 rabits since August. His plea was denied on the ground that he would make an excellent rat catcher I for the trenches. iCASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Signature ctf THE SOUTHERN MORTGAGE COMPANY ESTABLISHED IS7O.

Pottle, of Milledgeville, can didate for governor of Georgia, was >n Atlanta Saturday to visit his daughter, Miss Mary Pottle, who is convalescing from an iWness at Davis-Fischer sani tarium. Mr. Pottle stated that his campaign for governor is proceeding satisfactori ly in every detail, and that he feels highly encouraged by the support he is receiving. Last Thursday Mr. Pottle attended the annual meeting of the Georgia P.ar association at Tybee island, and his brethren of the bar .with practically all of whom he is personally acquainted, brethren of the bar, with practically “But probably the most pleasing thing of all to me in this campaign,” said Mr Pottle, "is the enthusiastic support 1 am receiving from the people in the counties adjacent to my home. The re sponse they gave to my announcement as a candidate for governor is a source of the most grateful appreciation. "And another very encouraging devel opment in the campaign is the support I have received from the traveling men of the state. For thirteen and a half years, during my incumbency in the of fice of solicitor general of the Ocmulgee circuit, I have become personally ac quainted with practically all of the trav eling men of the staate .and I take it as a high compliment that these men, of, high character and thorough knowledge: of public affairs, are supporting me with enthusiasm. No class of men in Georgia are better posted on questions affecting the welfare of the state? and none tatke more active, wholesome and beneficial interest in politics.” Present War Map Is German Basis of Peace (By Associated Press.) LONDON, Jane 2.—“ The present war map must form the basis of peace. Let the statesmen of the entente powers look at the facts as presented by this map and thej? will know Germany’s terms.” Thus spoke Dr. von Bethmann-Holl weg. the German imperial chancellor, in the course j>f an interview witlj the correspondent of the Berlin Neueste Nachrichten during a visit to Munich, says Reuter’s Amsterdam correspondent. The chancellor's words, says the cor respondent, have attracted the widest attention. The Lokal Anzeiger, com menting on the interview, says: “We interpret the chancellor’s words to mean that the trenches which the central powers erected east and west are an impenetrable wall of Ger man soldiers which must be the fron tiers of a peace treaty. In no war yet has this been the case but a military achievement which has been gained with so much blood must form the* starting point for any negotiations for peace." Tax Bachelors To Start a Fund For New Triplets I DALLAS, Tex., June 3.—Thelma. Vel ma and Elmer Drinning, the new Dallas triplets, have had a rosy path cleared for them as though by the wand of a fairy godmother. Enough clothing has been furnished by Dallas folk to care for them for a long time and besides a bank account has been started for each of them. The triplets were born in a home where comfort had been arranged for only one. The mother has already had I three small children. The Dallas Dispatch started a cam- 1 paign for funds, food and clothing. Twelve of Dallas' most prominent bachelors were picked out and a tax was levied on them. The mother of the triplets is 28. She , is the fifth wife of their father. Drin ning is 53 and a blacksmith. Neigh- I hors say he has been the father of 21 1 children. He counts haltingly on his lingers and finally acknowledges 15. Only Desire of Pope Is to Stop Europe’s Suicide (By Associated Pre**.) ROME, June 2.—‘(Via Paris.)—Car ; dinal Gasparri, papai secretary of state, in an interview todav with a representa tive of the Associated Press, declared the pope was influenced in his peace ef forts solely by a desire to stop the "sui j cide of Europe.” “The holy father." said the cardinal, j "in his most ardent desire for peace has ' no particular interest in view despite; I what newspapers that are enemies of i the papacy state to the contrary. If, peace is concluded through the friendly j intervention of the president of the i great American republic or through his Catholic majesty, the king of Spain, his holiness will equally thank the Almighty I that an end should at last have been put I to the butchery which is the suicide of j Europe.” Davis’ Memory Is Honored by Congressmen IBy Associated Pre**.) WASHINGTON. June 4.—Jefferson • Davis* memory was honored in the house yesterday by speeches of tribute deliver- I ' ed by Representatives Aswell, of Louis- , i iana. and Kincheloe, of entucky. Ths I I <JSIh birthday anniversary of the presi l dent of the Confederacy was the occa sion for the speeches. “The north and south," said Dr. As-1 well, "join hands in honoring the mem ory of two men, loved, honored and idolized, Lincoln, great in victory, Davis, no less great in defeat.” Queen of England • Has Parrot Which Is 100 Years Old, LONDON, June 3. —Queen Alexandra 1 owns probably the oldest bird in Europe, an African gray parrot that formerly belonged to Georgia 111. Extraordinary to relate, after all this great lapse of time, the bird still reproduces his old old master’s voice, and in the dead king's tones repeats his famous exclamation of "Wbat! what!" ©Xircle (Continued Next Issue.) ; TENTH INSTALLMENT. June started from Mary's arms and I uttered a little agonized cry. Sam look ed around. Down the beach he saw the i approaching figures of Mrs. Travis and I Tama. He caught his cue. i “Oh, maybe ma would like to know | the glad news!” he sneered. "Well, here goes.” I “Stop!” June caught at his dirty • wrinkled coat sleeves. “Hide! hide ■quickly, before they see you! Tonight ■ I'll leave a basket of food for you at j the corner of our garage—you know the • place! Now, hide.” Sam cast a last threatening look at the two figures in the distance, then j dodged deftly behind a convenient 1 bowlder. June swayed toward Mary. Her young j face looked haggard and almost old. Her I hands' groped vaguely for support. Mary saw .the Red Circle gleaming like ring of fire in the bright sun. She covered lit with her own trembling hand and I shook the girl slightly. "Your mother is coming, lamb.” she warned. "She mustn't know—she musn't suspect. Pull yourself together. And keep your hand hidden.” June nodded wearily. "I will,” she said. “She won’t know. I won’t let her know.” “Have you found any trace of it?” Mrs. Travis called to her a minute later. "Not a trace. Mary and I have looked all over this part of the beach.” "And Yama and T searched thoroughly as far down as that old wreck. It’s the most annoying thing.” “And mysterious, mumsle. Let’s yon and I write it up. Nobody would be lieve it." “Usually, T don't care to have lunch on the beach,” continued Mrs. Travis, ’gnoring the jesting tone. "I always detest the thoughts of sand getting into the food. But today, somehow, I just felt like picnicking. Yama. gather up the things and take them to the house.” "Oh, dear, and I’m famished. And it will take an age to get up a lunch now," complained June, slipping her left arm around Mrs. Travis' waist. “Well, I’ve got the remains of that fudge I made yesterday, in my room. I guess I’ll fill up on that.” “You wont do anything of the kind.” Mrs. Travis forbade firmly. "I don't want you to touch a piece of it before luncheon. I don't like the way you look at all here lately. Ever since Mr. Lamar started sending you those huge boxes of macrons. glaces you haven't an appetite for decent food. I'm going to have cook fix a good tomato bisque, for lunch. It’s a quick dish and nutritious.” "Nutritious!” June emphasized her scorn. "Nbbody wants to eat nutritious food, mother, dear—not even the in fants who have it fed to them tn bot tles. I’ll bet if they had their choice they’d take a lobster NeWburg any day in preference to delicious malted milk." “I won’t allow her to touch the fudge, Mrs. Travis,” promised Mary, as she led the girl upstairs. Once inside June's room they drooped pretense. Weak from nervous exhaus tion, Mary sank into a deep chair and leaned her head on her hand. June watched her shoulders droop. Her whole attitude typified despair. The girl stretched out her arms in loving pity. Then she knelt beside the chair, in the old familiar position. "You ought to hate me,, dear?” she said at last: "Your life is a misery to ycu tiojv. But you must know that I wouldn’t cause you sorrow or worry, if I could nelp It—don’t you know it, Mary? When these spells come on, I—” "There, there,” interrupted the old woman, drawing her into the circle of her arms. "Hate you? 1 love you bet ter than anything in this wide world. And I’m going to stay by and shield you as long as there’s life in me. Now, we won't say any more about that—ever. hat we’ve got to think of now is this latest danger. We have to get away from Surfton, dear—right away. We have to leave to avoid this man. He's —he’s horrible!” “No, I don’t. I think he’s afraid to come near the police for any reason. I think that as long as he can frighten you into protecting and feeding him he'll do it. If you’re not here, he can’t —that's all.” “But how are we to get away?" "Tell youi mother you want to go back to the city.” “She won't go, I know,” objected June. "She likes it here at Surfton. She thinks it's restful and she's dreadfully tired after the season in town.” “You’ve got to make her go.” “How can I?” "She spoke just now of your not looking well. Tell her the place is get ting on your nerves. Say that you know you’d feel better if you could go back to the city, if it’s only for a little while. Go ask her now,” urged Mary. "If you wait —’’ She stopped and looked down at the white hands lying across her knees. The Red Circle had vanished. "If you wait,” shtf went on, excited ly, “you’ll change your mind and stay HELP FOR WORKINGWOMEN Some Have to Keep on Until They Almost Drop. How Mrs. Conley Got Help. Here is a letter from a woman who had to work, but was too weak and suf- ; sered too much to continue. How she regained health: — Frankfort, Ky. —“I suffered so much with female weakness that I could not do my own work, ; had to hire it done. I heard so much about Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound that I triedit. I took three bottles and I found it to be all you claim. Now I feel as well as ever I did and am able to do all my own work again. I IIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIII ■; I jr / ill]l recommend it to any woman suffering from female weakness. You may pub lish my letter if you wish. ’’—Mrs. James Conley,sl6 St. Clair St.,Frankfort,Ky. No woman suffering from any form of female troubles should lose hope until she has given Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg etable Compound a fair trial. This famous remedy, the medicinal ingredients of which are derived from native roots and herbs, has for forty years proved to be a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism. All women are invited to writ© to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medi cine Co., Lynn, Mass., for special advice,—it will be confidentiaL ) here to brave it out. Go, dear.” Urged so eagerly, June got to her I feet. “I don’t think it will work, but I'll try,’* she said meekly. Her courage ebbed even further when she entered the library a moment later and saw the expression of impatience on her mother’s usually smooth brow. Ev idently the irritation of the stolen lunch had not worn off. June went up to her chair and put her arms over her mother's shoulders. Mrs. Travis looked up. The touch was not that of impetuous June at all. It was unnaturally meek and gentle. A look at the wan face alarmed her. "What is it—what it is, darling?” she asked hurriedly. “Do you feel ill?” June nodded. “Yes,’’ she said, shuddering slightly as the thought of “Smiling Sam” came back to her. “I feel ill. Mother, I want to go home —to the city—l mean. I want to go tonight, mother.” “Tonight!” Mrs. Travis smiled. “How ridiculous, June! In the first place, if you are ill. Surfton is just the place for you. You have the sea at your door and an opportunity to be in the air all day long. And you haven't your swarms of friends running in to drag you here, there and everywhere, every minute of the day and night. In the second place, if 1 thought of leaving, it wouldn't be for several weeks.” “Mum-sle. please listen. I—” “Don’t’ say any more about it, dear, because my mind is quite made up.” "But I—” "Pardon. The luncheon is served,” Yama, primly, from the door. "Will mad am be pleased to have a wine?” “No wine, Yama," Mrs. Travis got up from her chair and spoKe abruptly. “Tell Mary luncheon is served.” June followed her mother into the dining room, still pleading They took their places just as Mary came into the room followed Yama. The old nurse looked anxiously at the girl’s face and knew thu-s far she had been unsuccess ful. “Take your soup, June,” her mother bade her briefly; “you’re unusually rest less and persistent today. I don’t know what’s the matter wtih yo” "And I don’t know what’s the matter with myself,” the girl burst out pas sionately. "I can’t sleep. I think I’m hungry, and when I see food I can’t eat I—” "Why, June!” Mrs Travis was plainly disturbed. "I never heard you carry on like this.” * “I don’t think she's well, Mrs Travis,” Mary interrupted nervously. “That’s the reasop I want to go home. W’on’t you please take me, mother?” June had worked herself up to the verge of nervous hysteria. Mrs. Travis saw with alarm, that she was under some great mental strain. “But I think' you will get well so much quickly down here, dear.” Her determination was weaktning. June felt it. It gave her new courage. “So many queer things have happened since we’ve been here,” Mary put in quickly. “The child's nerves have been upset for several days. She didn’t want to worry you, so she hasn’t said any thing about it. But I've known, and it has scared me.” "Do you think it’s as good for her in the city as it is here?” Mrs. Travis asked, in surprise. “I think the best place for her, just now is the place she wants to be,” said Mary quickly. “All right. If you think it's advisable, we’ll try It, although it’s very much against my will.” "And we can go this evening?*’ June asked eagerly. “Yes,” answ/red Mrs. Travis with some reluctance. The girl jumped up from her chair and hugged her rapturously. “Oh, I'm so glad Thank you so much, mother, dear. You'll see how quickly I get well in the city. Come on, Mary, don’t eat another bite of that pudding —it’s indigestible and It will make you fat! Come upstairs and help me get out my things. Mother, when they take the trunks up from the storeroom., will you have Yama bring my wardrobe trunk and the large one with trays right up to my room?” Without waiting for an answer, June pulled protesting Mary upstairs. Mrs. Travis looked after them, perplexed. Then she rang for Yama and gave him his orders. Just for an instant the lit tle Jap allowed a human expression to creep into his gaunt, burnished features. It might have been interpreted as in tense surprise. But it was too fleeting to make certain. Upstairs, June was throwing armfuls of fluffy petticoats and dance frocks from the depths of a clothes closet, faster than Mary could pile them up on the bed. “Don’t mind how you fold them,” she called, her voice muffled by a quantity of garments still hanging on the hooks. "The few hours they’ll be in the trunks won’t matter. You always pack as though you're going around the world. No one would catch me doing it.” There was a subdued knock at the door. Mary opened it. Yama stood in the hall. He had the two trunks on a small hand truck. ‘Put them anywhere,” June sang out, “and open them.” Almost immediately she bounded out | into the room and started throwing shoes, tennis rackets and boat cushions i into the bottom of the larger of the two trunks. Mary seized her uplifted hands in horror. “You go out of this room while I pack!” she commanded. The way you i throw good clothes about is scandalous. Do go down like a good child, now, and take a rest in the hammock. It’ll do you good, dear.” June's face clouded suddenly. She I came close to Mary and spoke in a whis- I per. “We will have dinner early tonight i and we start for the city in the car i right after. We have to manage to get that basket of food to Sam, Mary. I’m afraid not to. Afraid!” "Oh, I'll arrange that all right,” soothed the old nurse. “I'll have the basket fixed long before. Then right after we’ve finished dinner you and I can ship out on some pretext or other and put it at the side of the garage. It'll be all right, dear. Now run on.” At 7 o'clock that evening a bulky, i crouching figure slid along in the of the hedge Travis : grounds. It made for a small gate, 'looked cautiously to the left and right, I then darted through toward the rear of ' the garage. A huge touring car, rolled halfway through the open doorway, reflected the light of a low moon from its highly polished hood. The man sneaked around in the shad ows, saw and dodged back, fearful lest there might be someone in it. As soon as he was reassured he ventured a lit tle beyond the black line, into the light and started to hunt for something. After a moment a violent volley of oaths swirled from his lips and he dropped to his knees groping with wild hands in the shrubbery. A screen door slammed shut up at the house. The man jumped to hls feet and darted back to his hiding place. He peered around the corner of the garage aryl grinned mockingly as he saw Mary' and June steal down the steps of the little back porch and nun down the driveway in his direction.
