It wan so different from the usual summer boarding place that Denton stopped short and eyed doubtfully the wide lawn, the massive stone house and the garden flaming with June roses. He even looked at the great mastiff that sauntered toward him with a sus picious eye. “Look here, old fellow,” he said, “are you in a fairy tale, or is this just an everyday fact?” •‘Luke, come here,” called a clear voice, and the dog bounded back to the porch. Denton followed him. ‘‘Are you the princess?” ho asked of the owner of the clear voice. The girl flushed and stared. “I don’t understand”— she stam mered. Denton laughed. “I beg pardon,” he apologized, "for boring you with my fancies. But this place is so beau tiful that I thought 1 had stepped out of real life into fairyland and that the dog was the monster that guarded the gate and that you were the enchanted princess.” The girl’s eyes twinkled. “I'm not a princess,” she told him. “I'm your landlady.” Something of a disappointment crept into Denton’s expression. “Then you are Mrs. Carter?” he haz arded. "Miss Carter.” she corrected, and he looked relieved. “In the letter that I wrote you I signed myself Mehita bel Carter, and I suppose you thought I had gray hairs and wrinkles.” “The name did suggest them,” he mused, watching her sparkling face. “Every one around here calls ine Belle,” she explained. “But of course when one writes letters to prospective boarders one realizes that a dignified name is an asset.” “Certainly.” he agreed and settled j back in bis chair, content to listen and look. But his hostess was more energetic, j “I’ll show you your room.” she said and led the way through the spacious I hall and up the stairs to the second story. When Denton came down a little later and found his landlady walking in the rose garden he said to her: “You needn’t tell me. This is an en chanted castle. Who ever heard of white bathtubs and nickel trimmings and pond lily friezes and Circassian walnut furniture for $lO a week?” A little anxious frown burrowed Miss Carter’s forehead. “I was afraid I was charging too much,” she said. “You see. you are my first boarder.” It appeared on further conversation that there were to be six other board ers, and they were to arrive at 7:30. "Five of them are maiden ladies,” Miss Carter explained, “and I told them they might bring their cats and parrots”— "And the other one?” Denton de manded. “Is a man,” said Miss Carter, “and be wants to bring his automobile.” Denton gazed pensively across the garden toward the purple hills. “Alas,” he sighed, "and 1 brought only a type writer. The automobile is the dragon that I must slay.” Bhe stiffened a little at that. "1 don’t think 1 quite understand,” she said. “Of course not,” Denton agreed quite cheerfully, “as a writer of stories 1 deal much in metaphor. It isn’t to be expected that you would understand. But you will—some day.” He switched to other topics and learned that the beautiful house, with its beautiful furniture, had been the summer home. That the failure of her father in business and his ab sence to fill a position in another city made her decide that the house must support Itself or be sold. So she had advertised for boarders, and. with two old and trusted servants, she was go ing to make it pay. “We raise all of our vegetables,” she confided, “and we Jjave our cows and make butter, and there are plenty ot chickens and eggs”— | “Don’t say any more,” Denton begged. “I am hungry enough as it is without hearing of real milk and but ter and eggs." She laughed. “The train is due now.” she said; “as soon as the other boarders got here we will have sup per.” Contrary to Denton’s expectations, the six old maids proved to be delight ful company. Throe of them were teachers, one of them wrote for the magazines, one, having a private for tune, was something of a globe trot ter. and the sixth, being domestically inclined, had brought the cat and par rot. The one man was the object of Den ton's special observation. His name was Nesselrode. "He makes me think of a pudding.” Denton remarked to Miss (Barter. “I don't think he looks that way at all,”Miss Carter said indignantly. “I think he Is very handsome, if he Is stout.” “Oh, I don't mean his looks,” Den ton remarked resignedly, “but his name.” Nesselrode, however, proved to bo very good company, and it became quite a matter of course that the two men should spin through the country every morning in the lag motor car. In the afternoon Nesselrode always took .Miss Carter, and in the back seat he packed two and sometimes three of the old ladies. “And I stay at home with the cat and parrot,” Denton remarked indig nantly to Miss Carter one evening when lie had carried her off to the rose garden, “for the old ladies who don’t go with you always take their naps at that time, and if it wasn’t for the cat and parrot I should eye of lone liness.” “It's too bad,” Miss Carter mur mured sympathetically. "“Too bad!” Denton flared. “It's pre posterous. He takes me in the morn ing and you in the afternoon, and I have been here three weeks, and I haven’t had an hour's comfortable conversation with you since that first day.” “WheD you thought I was a prin cess,” said Miss Carter demurely. “I still think you are a princess.” said Denton ardently. He leaded to ward her, and the moonlight showed his pale, eaget* face. “I still think you are a princess, and, now that I have found you in your enchanted castle, I yearn to carry you away with me to my kingdom”—- There was a rustle in the leaves be hind them. Miss Carter sat up straight. “Who is it?” she cried sharply. “Who is there?” “Polly, Polly.” said a chuckling, wa vering voice, “pretty, pretty Polly.” Then a deeper voice boomed beyond the hushes. “Is that you, Miss Carter? I am looking for Miss Pierce’s parrot.” “I can’t even propose to you without his butting in,” Denton complained the next night when he had Miss Carter to himself for a moment in a corner of the dark porch. “Say ‘yes’ before he finds us here, princess, and”— “How’ do you know”— Miss Carter’s voice trembled through the darkness. “f do not know,” he said softly. “I can ouly hope”— As he reached out his hand to take hers his fingers touched something warm and velvety. “Purr —urr—up,” came a confiding feline murmur just as Nesselrode’s lumbering figure loomed near the steps. “Did Miss Pierce’s pussy cat come over here, Denton? I’ve been sent to look her up.” ******* That night a burglar entered Miss Carter's house. Denton was the first to give the alarm, and he showed the family silver piled up in the middle of the table in the dining room, with the corners of the cloth twisted over it. “I saw a light,” he said, “and I came —and I suppose be was scared away. I had not been to bed”— Miss Carter, very beautiful in a rosy dressing gown, examined the silver. “I think everything is here,” she said. "You are sure that nothing is gone from your room?” ItentoD asked. “He might have gone there first.” Miss Carter flew upstairs, with the six old ladies at her heels. When she came down she was as white as chalk. “My pearl necklace is gone,” she said. Denton turned to Nesselrode. “Per haps if you took your automobile and followed the man you might get the pearls”— “But”— Nesselrode protested. "There are no buts in the service of a lady,” Denton reminded him gravely. And after Nesselrode had whizzed away, and the six old ladies had re tired to their rooms to talk it over, Denton detained Miss Carter. And when he had pulled down the shades of every window, and when he had closed the door, he put his hand In his pocket and pulled out the pear) necklace. "All’s fair.” he said, “in love”— “But”— she gasped. “There was no burglar,” Denton de clared. “I found the pearls on the porch after you went in, and that gave me the idea, and 1 mussed up the things on the table. It was the only way that I could get to see you again tonight, and I couldn't stand another day of Nesselrode's monopolizing”— Slowly a smile curved Miss Carter’s lips. “Any one would know you were a writer of stories,” she said, “there were so many easier ways.” “I couldn’t think of any,” Denton said, “so I tried this.” He went toward her. “Nesselrode will be back presentely. We must be quick. Oh, princess, is it ‘yes?’ ” Her cheeks were as rosy as her pretty gown. “Of course when the prince storms the castle the princess surrenders.” As he kissed her they heard the “chug-chug” of the returning automo bile. Nesselrode came in, puffing. “Not a sigu"— he began and stopped. The two people by the table were smiling radiantly. “I am so sorry.” Miss Carter said ! as she held out her hand, in. which FALL ATTENDANCE.

Name Address Origin of “Georgia Cracker.” From The Augusta Herald. 1 have the following on the “Geor gia Cracker,” in response to an in quiry made yesterday: Richard Malcolm Johnston says that among the followers of Gen- Francis Marion in his Guerilla war fare, during the war of the Revelu tion, were some Georgian, who were especially expert in the use of a rifle, the crack of which got to he much dreaded by the British, who gave these riflemen the name of Georgia Crackers. After the war the name changed from a military to a social signifi cance. A theory of Charles H. Smith (Bill Arp) is that the hardy and in dustrious Scotchmen who settled in Georgia, and who came in conflict with the rough and uncultured set tlers from other sections, called them “crackers,” which is a Scotch term, and means ‘‘boasters,” “idlers,” who talk much and work little. From the Century Dictionary comes this —one of an inferior class of white hill dwellers in some of the Southern V. S., especially in Geor gia and Florida. The name is said to be applied liecause cracked corn is their chief article of diet. Here is still another definition, taken from the History of Georgia: Tears ago theabsenceof railroads compelled farmers and others to bring their produce into the state in wagons. The drivers of each wagon carried a whip, which lie often popped and cracked as he drove along. With the handle in both hands, he would pop his large whip from side to side, until it sounded like the rapid firing of a pistol. From this practice the name “Georgia Cracker” is said to have originated. grhmnerecT'n nrr.T* heap of milk white beads, “I am so sorry that you had your drive for nothing, Mr. Nesselrode, but”—she hesitated and then went on steadily—“but—but Mr. Denton found the pearls!” Circular Storms. Meteorologists are now agreed that what are called circular storms are not circular in the proper sense of the word. There is not merely a flow of air round, but also convergence to ward a central area. There is also a large upflow over and near the central area and also an outflow above and a descent probably in the outskirts of the storm area; hence the motion is suc cessively complicated. It is also very variable, as squalls and gusts of the most violent character may alternate with strong but less destructive winds; also in the cyclonic storms of the tem perate regions of the northern herai- . sphere the- winds in the same quadrant of cyclonic storm and from same general direction differ largely in their meteorological character.
