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. o Tentative plans for using the diri gibles Los Angeles and Shenandoah to make observations and take pho tographs during the total solar eclipse on January 24 are under con sideration. FIFTY-FIFTY COMEDY The Rock High School will present “Fifty-Fifty,” a comedy o' love, luck and laughter, by Frederick G.
