So many times does the author get his
characters so mixed up. from the read

one given case, there Is only one way
for the heroine to get without the tolls
of the vllllans, and that Is to jump out
of the window of an office on the nine

happened to be visiting the little town
where "Felicity Fergus" lived. The
whole story centers around "Felicity"

"The Old Man" by ths ’’profession."
"Felicity" Is a child of o family of
Easterners, her mother a Southern
woman, but the whole atmosphere sur
rounding "Felicity's’’ childhood Is one

maiden, “Aunt Amelia." whose entire
existence has been a sacrifice, to Ply

she realises that life holds no hopeful

and most practical methods are used.
Copying over and over a lot of made-
up transactions from text books, tablets

GIRL OF FIFTEEN
FIRED AT
10 ATTACKED HER
Miss Ida Smith Was
Brave in Face of
Danger.
Calmly glancing down the barrel of
double-barreled shotgun, the business
end of which she trained deliberately
upon the bulky form of her assailant,
Miss Ida Smith, a young girl it years
of age, living aeren miles southeast
of Decatur, near Snapftnger creek, emp
tied both barrels of the weapon at Jim
Sellers, a negro who was advancln:
upon her with an uplifted knife, and
saved herself from being murdered
her home Friday afternoon.
At the discharge of the weapon, the
negro, who was climbing In the window
of the house, turned and fled. Mo was
captured an hour later by J. W. Wilson,
a DeKalb county planter, and turned
over to the, sheriff for safe-keeping.
Late Friday afternoon a preliminary
hearing was held before Justice of tho
Peace W. H. Trimble at Decatur, nnd
Sellers waa bound over to the superior
court on a charge of assault with In
tent to murder. The bond was fixed
1300. It ts said the negro’s mind
unbalanced nnd an application for
writ of lunacy will be made to Ordinary
George by Attorney Burton Cloud, who
haa been employed by 'Seller*’ brother
to represent this negro.
Alone With a Baby.
At the time the ne^ro attempted
take her life Miss Smith was alone
the home of her parent! with only a
year-old Infant as her companion. The
babe was sleeping quietly upon the bed
and the Industrious young girl was
whitewashing the hearth of the front
room. Her mother. In company with o
neighbor, had gone to ths near-by creek
to fish.
Suddenly the alienee of the room was
broken by the grating of a window In
tho rear. Hastily turning. Miss Smith
was almost paralyzed to see tho burly
form of a negro crawling through the
opening with a long knife open In bis
hand.
,The Negro’* Threat.
**I am going to kill you, and I am go
ng to do It now,” growled the negro aa
is placed ons foot over the window sill
and prepared to draw his body Into tho
room. Not for one Instant tfld the
heroic young woman hesitate. Some
thing must bo done and don* quickly.
Dropping the whitewash brush to the
floor, she sprang to the side of the bed,
as the negro supposed, Jo secure tlie
sleeping baby and flee. But Miss Smltn
did not contemplate flight.
A double-barreled (hot gun stood by
tho side of the bed. Grasping ths
weapon in her strong young arma ahe
threw It to her shoulder and without
any preliminary warning or threats
discharged both barrel* at the edvanc
Ing negro. By some mischance none
of the shots took effect, but seeing that
hs was foiled and that his own Ilfs was
in danger the negro bolted through
the open window and fled.
Went For Help.
Immediately after the negro left Mlsa
Smith took th* baby from the bed and
were at work.
The young men had heard the report*
of the shot gun and met Miss Smith
on their way to ber house to investl
gate the cause of the shooting. To
them she told of the attempt to take
her life and the search for Sellers was
Immediately begun. He was caught
short while later at his home, two
miles away. Threat* of meting out
summary Justice to the young lady’s
assailant were heard on every aids,
but J. W. Wilson advised against hasty
action and ths negro was turned over
to the sheriff unharmed.
Sellers denied the charge, but Miss

To meet this demand has been the constant effort
"of this store. How well we have succeeded is prov
