he moved to the table and rested a

in awestruck tones:
“Good Cord! And think what—why.

The grand duke perceived the agi

“My friend.” he said gently. “It has
been refreshing.” He spoke to Ribiere

“I would not touch you—even to
strangle you!” and then to the thun

“God will let me pay my debt to the
Earl of Ilawcastle!”
In an instant he was gone, and Haw

“Why, you"— the earl began, but
Daniel raised Ids hand. He spoke soft

From the other side of the sofa,

“You haven’t heard the last of this,

quickly. Lady Creech, who had been
in a serai-swooning condition, came
suddenly out of her trance and gazed
sharply about her.
“Don’t mumble your words.” she
said sharply and rose to her feet.
With a withering glance at Tike she
turned to Ethel.
"Come, my dear.” she said. “This
terrible place is not for you. Let us

Horace came suddenly to life and
closed his drooping jaw. He stepped
forward and faced the old lady.
“My sister will remain for a time.

after her—in the future.”
Lady Creech put up her lorgnette
and stared at him and with a haughty
sniff left the room with the air of a
conqueror. Tike gazed after her w him

j FOUR POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED.
There are four points that shouhJ
be considered in selecting a sch<xW
to attend.
First: The school’s financial stand
ing, for the student does not want
to attend a school today that will
pass out of existence tomorrow. The
Athens Business College of Athens,
Ga., lias a paid in capital and sur
plus of over $<50,000.00. It is owned
and operated hyj men who have
proven themselves successful busi
ness men.
Second: The moral surroundings.
Our teachers are ladies and gentle
men of the very highest character.
We look after our students while in
school; we encourage them in hon
- sty and uprightness. We teach
i hem that true success is built on
the foundation of honesty —a square
deal to everyone.
Third: The systems and methods
used. We use the famous Byrne
-system of shorthand and bookkeep
ing, which enables us to turn out a
better bookkeeper or stenographer
.11 half the time and at half the
eost of other schools teaching other
-systems. We have tin' exclusive
•ontrol of these systems in this
date. Therefore, the Byrne sys
■ems are a case of “sour graphs’’ to
air competitors. The fact that we
turn out better stenographers in
• luce months than they can in six,
md place our graduates into better
positions than they can is what
dumld interest the prospective
Undent. Read our catalog, see the
ndorsements from hundreds of
Undents and business men.
Fourth: Our ability to place you
n a good position; after we have
thoroughly prepared you, you then
need our assistance in securing a
'ood position with a responsible
inn, where you can earn a good
(alary. Wo realize that in order to
•nicceed, our students must succeed;
die greater their success, the greater
>ur success; their success reflects
upon our institution and causes
their friends to follow in their foot
steps. What is the use of you
ittonding a school six months to
get an education that can Ik* had in
our school in three months? The
other fellow hasn’t the advantages
of our most modern systems, there
fore, it is utterly impossible for
him to make a good stenographer
or bookdeeper of you in three or
four months. Write for free catalog.
