Cal Lamar and family have; in seeking its solution the first person we meet is Brenda. She is somewhat of an enigma herself. The author calls her “the smooth product of all the so cial refinements.” But that may mean a great many things. After reading of the stabbing of the actress why should Brenda wish to go to the scene of the crime? The broker's name mentioned in the newspaper account may have something to do with it. “Books That Have Helped Me, by i Authors Great and Authors Small,” the same significant silence seemed to be maintained. There were some very ! curious bocks that had apparently j proved helpful to certain persons, (rut j there was unbroken testimony of a 1 negative kind that nobody had ever i been helped by a blue book.

He has been unfiigging in z~> il to develop and build up South ern Georgia. Hon.

This is a most meritori ous selection and certainly a de served compliment to one of the best lawyers in the state, as well as one of the finest gentlemen of Geor gia. The spitting ordinances of most cities apparently become dead let ters very soon after enactment, It is a herculean undertaking to re form this detestable nuisance; but men, who want to be called gentle men, never reflect how low and un gentile such habits are. In Atlanta the ladies have to go into print to complain against the neglect of the police in enforcing the anti spitting law. Lish Brown. Geo. Brown. Wash Collins. Wilkins Chance. Chelson Connerly.

Correspondence Citizen. Jan. 21.—The conflict between the school board and patrons of Berlin school has terminated. The patrons of the school won. Consolidation will not work, and hauling children is a thiug of the past — for the pres ent at least. Mr.Sterling Rhodes has moved to Burke. Farm work has begun. A Contrector. “What does your father do?” asked the teacher of the new boy. “He’s a contractor.” was the reply. “A railway contractor?” “No. ma’am; a sausage contractor. He ties up the ends after another man has filled them.” ly cynical and smiling without pur pose.” True, “a man may smile and smile and smile and yet may be a— gentleman.” What bothers me is that 1 do not see why liis gaze should fas cinate Brenda and why he should not permit her to leave the house after the actress has been carried away in an ambulance. Now Brenda appears better. In an elegant room “in the presence of Dr. Blair, whose manner avas that of the world wherein she had moved, Brenda gains part of hlr seif possession," The author evidently did not intend that “smooth” should have a sinister mean ing. Still there is something mysteri ous about Brenda. She tells the doctor that she obeyed “an unaccountable impulse” in coming to the house. And why should she turn white and wring her hands? But noAv we are coming to some thing. Brenda is confessing that Al den, the broker mentioned in the news paper account of the crime, was an ac quaintance of hers. And so there is a man in the case this time—at the bot tom of it, perhaps. That was a fervid love letter of the broker to the actress. It would do to go with “The LoA'e Letters of an English Woman.” It was very incon siderate in that police captain to want Brenda to go into the room where the actress was stabbed. Of course Bren da would turn faint. I don’t like that police captain. The next chapter will doubtless explain Brenda to my entire satisfaction. Different Methods. “Whatever became of Lamb?” “Oh. be played the markets and went broke.” “And Wolff, what became of him?” “Oh, he worked the markets and got rich.”—Puck. the .verdict upon the finished statis tical product. As for the methods em ployed in constructing such tables— Aveigbted averages, index numbers or curves of error—these to the wayfar ing men are hidden and ingenious re finements of cruelty, to be avoided at all hazards or at least forgotten with a shudder and a prayer. How He Fooled the Dos. A gentleman who is fond of studying wild animals in their natural surround ings once had an opportunity of seeing for himself an example of the cunning for which the fox has become prover bial. As he avus standing near the bank of a river one winter day, he saw a fox run out upon the ice and make straight for a hole. At the edge of the opening he stopped, turned, folloAA-ed his tracks back to the bank, ran doAvn the stream and paused to aAvait developments. In a little while a dog came tearing out of the woods, with his nose close to the ice and snow. He ran along the ice AA'ith his head doAvn, following the seent until he readied the opening. It was then too late to check his speed. He plunged into the water and avus lost under the ice. The fox meantime had waited in plain sight to watch the effect of his little trick. After the dog came into view the fox remained perfectly mo tionless until he saw his old enemy disappear. Then, with a look on his face which seemed to combine a good natured grin Avith a mild contempt, lie went nonchalantly off about his busi ness. . None Too Liberal. “Mr. Linger spends a great deal of time with you, Molly,” said Mr. KU- tish to Miss Frocks. “Yes, but that's all he does spend.”— Detroit Free Press. It is now said the soul is in the spinal coiumn because a frog’a .-.pint showed life a long time after its brain was removed. That won’t do if we reason by analogy, for a Burke county man says ho cut off the heart of a loggerhead terrapin and threw it over the yard fence, and while ih family was enjoying the terrapir stew for dinner the head caught a young chicken by the foot and held it until it thundered next day. Mr. Bartlett in an address before the house of representatives in con gress a few days ago on a point oi order raised upon a new peusiot law proposed by 31 r. Jenkins, o’ Wisconsin, took a very wide range. He did Bishop Warren A. Candle' the honor to quote a greater part o? the oration he delivered lately in presenting nome crosses of hono- for the Daughters of the Confeder aey. The bishop’s red hot oratorj was received in tespectfu! silenc by‘'the other side ot the^house.” GOOD ROADS.

The.hoc! has to be repaired like othc things and Scott's Emulsion i the medicine that does it. These poor bodies wear out from worry, from over-work from disease. They get thin and weak. Some of the new ones are not well made—and all of the old ones are racked from long usage. Scott’s Emulsion fixes all kinds. It does the work both inside and out. It makes soft bones hard, thin blood red, weak lungs strong, hollow places full. Only the bcstiVia- terials are used in the patching and the' patches don’t show through the new glow of health. No one has to wait 1 -is turn. You can do if~yourself—you and the bottle. This Brenda enigma is deepening. In Elsie’s room, after giving his opinion of hoAV the murder Avas done, this po lice captain (I find my aversion to him groAviug) “turned to Brenda Avith a questioning leer.” He even admits that he thinks the murderer may liaA'e been a woman. But what is this? Dr. Blair saw a well dressed young woman leave the house about the time the crime was committed and go in the direction of BroadAvay. It was on BroadAvay wo first met Brenda. But the doctor is sure he Avould not kuoAV the woman if he Avere to see her again. Notwithstanding Captain Neale’s in nuendoes, Brenda bears herself admi rably. It is true that she contradicts herself, but all of us do that some times. And that police captain with the ape arms is so horrid! But I would like to know Avhy Brenda is so much interested in Elsie, whom she has never seen. Perhaps the next chapter will tell. The plot thickens and the mystery deepens. Alden impresses me very fa vorably, but Brenda gives me a shock when she almost faints at sight of the knife with which the stabbing was done. But the dramatic way in which Captain Neale exposed it was enough to make any woman of refinement faint. Police captains are noting if not spectacular. So Brenda was not Miss Williams, as she had announced herself to the policemen at the door, but the daugh ter of Duncan Maclane, a prominent millionaire. And here is a poser: “Dr. Blair,” she whispered, “you will not say it Avas I Avliont you saw leaving this house?” Noav Captain Neale begins his inqui sition again. At any\rate, we shall learn something about the New York police and their methods. Brenda en gaged to Alden? And the engagement broken that day? This grows excit ing.
