Employing the
Magic Crystal
With Success
B j SELINA E. HIGGINS
(6. 1924. Weatorn Newspaper Union.)
FOR a whole day ®ur darling had
moved about the house as one In
some dreamlike trance.
Elida was listless. She would sit
for an hour gazing at seeming noth
ingness.
L her aunt and guardian, wondered
if it was anxiety for her absent lover,
Willard Hull, that had brought on
this deep abstraction.
It was early that evening when a
warm friend of the family dropped In.
She was a music teacher and quite an
attraction at local social entertain
ments. She had been out late the
evening previous at a soiree that I
knew Miss Evans had also attended.
We were close friends with the
music teacher, and in my anxiety and
perplexity I spoke of the strange mood
that had held Eltda In a strange thrall.
“My dear Miss Nettleton,” spoke my
visitor, when I had concluded, *'l came
purposely to see Elida. You under
stand me well enough to know that
It would not be from any idle curios
ity, but from motives of the purest
friendly Interest. Something hap
pened at the soiree last evening that
was Inexplicable.
“Something happened?" I repeated,
a trifle fearsomely.
“Yes. A young man, his name was
given as Dnlzlell, attended the soiree
last evening. He came with the
Ritchies, whom I only know inciden
tally. He is a wonderful conversa
tionalist and a marvel nt the piano.”
“And he met Elida?” I asked, dread
ing that something might shndow the
love and loyalty of my darling and
her fiance.
“Only as he did the others, ns a
gentleman of great attainments, cour
teous to everybody. He had Just fin
ished a brilliant musical composition
of his own, however, when I saw him
lean toward Elida, who sot nearby,
and fix his eyes upon her. A light
shone In them, I cannot describe.”
“You are alarming me,” I said tim
orously.
“I am sorry, but I must tell you all,”
replied Miss Evans. "I saw Elida start
and a nervous tremor crossed her face.
She was like one enrapt, fascinated.
Suddenly, but without removing his
glance, this Dalzlell dashed both hands
down upon the keyboard of the piano.
There was a strain of wild, unearthly
music. A look I cannot describe
passed over Elida’s face. Near to her
was a stand containing a fragile glass
receptacle for calling cards. She
seized this, dashed it violently to the
floor and it shattered to a thousand
atoms. Then with a low cry she
shrank back shuddering, covered her
face with her hands.”
“You astonish me!” was all I could
gasp out.
"I glanced at young Daiziell,” went
on Miss Evans. “There was a strange,
weird expression on his face. He
dashed off into a quick, lively Polish
mazurka.”
I had gone two blocks from the house
and was turning into an Intersecting
street, when I chanced to look back.
A man was just going up the steps of
our home. In a flash I recognized him
as unswerlng the description Miss
Evans had given me of Daiziell. I
hurried hack to the house. I paused
to take up a small revolver kept for
security In the drawer of the liall
rack. Then I proceeded to the parlor
entrance.
An amazing spectacle met my view.
Seated at a little stand, her face pale
but placid, her eye dreamy and
glazed, was Elida. Standing before
her was the stranger. He held a
piece of faceted crystal In one hand.
On that Ellda’s eyes were fixed.
“Who are you? What are you doing
here?” I quavered Impulsively, and the
man birned tjt/ace the weapon In my
trembling hand.
ne was not La the least moved. He
placed a warning finger to hla Up,
never lowering the crystal.
“For Willard Hull,” was his aston
ishing announcement In low musical
tones.
“From Willard Hull!” I cried.
“No—for him. Do not Interrupt—lt
Is a critical moment. Speak!” he add
ed, directing the mellow Insinuating
word at the transfixed Elida and fix
ing his glance piercingly upon her.
“The wall—is it east? And which
wall?”
“No,” came In a dreamy, faraway
murmur from Elida. “Not a wall —but
a well.”
“Success!” gasped the stranger, and
sank into the nearest chair as If ex
hausted after some superhuman effort.
In a few moments the man arose.
He made some movements with bis
delicate hands toward Elida, whose
face renewed its usual expression.
Then he turned to me.
"Miss Nettleton,” he said, “I have
heard of you. I am a friend of Wil
lard Hull, who has gone to look up
the hidden fortune of his dead uncle.
He did not find It at any ‘wall,’ as
the hint was. I am credited with pos
uesslng certain occult power. Perhaps.
At least, my mind filled only with
honest motives, working on the pure
crystal-clear mentality of this beauti
ful young lady, has evolved a clew—
“well,* not ‘wall.’”
It was a well, Indeed —we knew It
within a week, when Ellda’s fiance
came back a rich man.
And Dalziell, the strange, mystic
genius whom I at first so feared,
all Jove now as a loyal, devoted
friend.
LAMAR COUNTY UNIT
The second meeting of the Lamar
County Educational Unit was held
Friday at the library.
A message from Dean Alfriend,
secretary of the Georgia Educational
Association, urging Lamar to report
a hundred per cent Unit by January
24th, was favorably received.
A report of the committee on Con
stitution and By-laws was adopted.
The motion that principals of the
consolidated schools become mem
bers of the Executive Board was car
ried.
The faculty of the Milner High
school was appointed a program com
mittee to arrange a program for the
February meeting. In order that
the program committee may meet
conveniently the faculty of some
school will be appointed as a com
mittee each month to arrange a pro
gram.
At the conclusion of the business
session Mr. T. O. Galloway of the A.
& M school gave a most interesting
and instructive talk on “Keeping
Boys in School.” He proves his
philosophy by being a maker of men.
Mr. T. J. Gardner, superintendent
of Lamar county schools, greeted his
teachers, with words of encourage
ment. He spoke convincingly on
economy and related an interesting
incident of his recent trip to Cali
fornia.
Claim Columbus Landed
on Island in Bahamas
The landing place of Christopher
Columbus when he discovered America
Is on an lslund now known ns Willing
island. Watllng Island, In the Baha
mas, Is so called after one of the nu
merous Intrepid British mariners who
crossed the seas to acquire various
lands and luxuries that did not natu
rally belong to them. Columbus, ac
cording to his Journal as published by
Las Casas, christened the Island San
Salvador Immediately on landing, says
the Detroit News.
The island was originally called
Guanuhani by the Arawuk Indians,
who Inhabited It at the time of Colum
bus’ discovery In 1492. The Arnwaks
are now extinct, except In certain
parts of South America. They were
not a fierce rnee, hut pastoral people
and fishermen at the time Columbus
discovered them. The Caribs, who In
habited Jamaica, were cannibals, mak
ing continual war on their Arawak
neighbors.
Whether San Salvador Island was
the actual landing place of Columbus
has been disputed for many years,
owing to confusing statements In the
Las Casas journal. But American and
British research has established the
fact that San Salvador Is entitled to
the honor of being the first landing
place, for examination of the topog
raphy of Watllng and Its neighboring
isles established Its Identity through
the testimony of no less tliun the dis
coverer, who described the island on
which he landed.
Oldtime Apple Sauce
Lacking in Vitamins
Mother killed a valuable vitamin
when she made apple sauce by the old
recipe, Edward F. Kolunan, Walter H.
Eddy and Victoria Carlsson charged In
u Joint paper recently presented before
the American Chemical society. Vita
min C, the vitamin which prevents
scurvy, was the one destroyed.
The experts told how the fruit
should he prepared to preserve this
vital food factor and also prevent
corrosion of catiH after cannings, says
the Kansas City Star. All fruits use
oxygen in a breathing process not un
like the breathing of animals. It Is
this oxygen in the fruit which de
stroys the vitamin and tire way to pre
vent the destruction is to get the oxy
gen out of the apples before the cook
ing starts.
This can be done by peeling and
quartering the apples and keeping
them overnight under water contain
ing about one per cent salt. Deprived
of oxygen supply from the air in this
way, the apples use up the oxygen in
their tissues. This drowning of the
apples saves vitamin C.
Tiger’s Habitat
The tiger does not inhabit Africa.
It Is found in Awia, where it has an
extensive but rather localized distri
bution. Westwardly Its range extends
to the lower Euphrates and the south
ern shores of the Caspian; hut it does
not occur in Persia south of the Kl
burz mountains, nor In Beluchlstan or
Afghanistan. Northward, It is to be
found throughout southern Siberia
and Mongolia, eastward in the Amur
valley to the sea of Okhotsk, in Sak
halin and Japan. The elevated Ti
betan plateau lias no tigers. South
ward the species ranges throughout
China, Siam, Burma, the Malay penin
sula, Sumatra, Java and Ball, and ali
of India, but is unknown in Ceylon
This is evidence leading naturalists to
conclude that the tiger is a compara
tively recent immigrant" Into the
South, and not naturally a tropical
species.
