Gainesville, Ga.
Three Hundred and Forty-Four Young Ladies From the Best
Families of Twenty States Last Year.
L ocation : Among the foot
hills of the Blue Ridge
Mountains, 1,500 feet
above the sea. Free from malaria
and the enervating influences of
the low country and also from
the rigorous winters of more
northern latitude. Gainesville
has been a noted health resort
for many years and is ono of the
most prosperous and up-to-date
cities of Georgia. It enjoys
now all of the modern ad
vantages such as electric
lights, sanitary sewerage, etc.
Three magnificent churches arc
being built, a splendid military
school for hoys is oetng erected,
streets and sidewalks are being
paved, and a splendid government
building has been provided for by
congress. A fine system of elec
tric railways extends to Chatta
hoochee Park, one of the most
beautiful spots in Georgia, and
to New Holland Springs, which
have been famous for fifty years.
Equipment: There are fifteen
buildings, including dormitories,
recitation halls, auditorium, li
brary, sorority houses and pro
fessors’ homes. All of these mod
ern in all appointments and
adapted to their several uses; The
dormitories are provided with
rooms en suite and with privato
baths for thoso who desire such
accommodations and with a large
number of well lighted, ventilated
and heated rooms designed to ac
commodate from two to four
students each.
A separate dormitory has been

set apart for young ladies of
maturity who desire to do post
graduate work or take only a few
studies and who desire privileges
that are not allowed to regular
college students. A lady of great
culture and refinement hns been
selected as hostess for this house.
The Faculty: Officers and
teachers arc thirty-three in num
ber and each has been selected
w’ith a view to-special fitness for
his or her work.
The Literary Department is
supplied with a very fine corps of
teachers, most of whom have been
members of the faculty for many
years. The courses of study em
brace all that are usually offered
in colleges of this character. In
addition a two years’ teachers’
course is offered high school grad
uates, carrying the degree “Li
centiate of Instruction.” This
course includes a thorough re
view of fundamental subjects and
in the Theory and Practice of
Teaching and Child Study.
Another two years’ course for
Brenau Girls of 1907.
high school graduates of which
the central feature is domestic
science has been recently estab
lished.
Another innovation in the liter
ary department of Brenau is the
recognition of music and oratory
as elective studies for the vari
ous degrees. These subjects have
distinct intellectual as well as cul
tural value and under the Brenau
plan it is not necessary for the
student who is gifted in these
subjects to give up regular course
in order to cultivate her musical
and oratorical gifts.
Music and Art: Brenau has
long been famous for the unusual
excellence of its advantages in
these subjects. There are eight
music teachers, of whom four arc
gentlemen who have had the
finest advantages both in this
country and in Europe. Three
of these have been directors of
music in other well known insti
tutions and are welt known as
musicians of the highest rank.
Brenau claims advantages in mu
sic which cannot bo surpassed in
this country, either North or
South.
School of Oratory: This is one
of the very few, if any, separately
organized and complete schools of
oratory south of Boston. It has
four special teachers and in addi
tion some of the courses are
given by regular members of tho
college'faculty. It is provided
with an attractive assembly room
which is adapted for use for
small theatricals and for recital
Work and a splendid gymnasium
is provided for the physical cul
ture work which is nn important
part of the course. Funds are be
ing provided for a Temple of Ora
tory and it is hoped that work
may be begun during the next
year.
Domestic Science: The object
of this department is not to train
housekeepers but rather “home
makers.” Instruction in all the
branches of cookery and in needle
work is given and illustrated by
practical work in the domestic
science laboratories. In addition
instruction is given concerning
sanitation, planning and decorat
ing the home, etc.
Art: The art department is in
charge of a lady of very success
ful experience who, lias* been
trained in the best schools of this
country, Italy and France. A fine
collection of easts and models and-
a beautifully appointed suite of
studios furnish ample equipment
for work.
Bookkeeping, Stenography, etc:
Liberal provision is made for
those Who desire courses in these
subjects. This work may be car
ried on in connection with other
work in the college or conserva
tory.
Public School Music: This
course *has been recently intro
duced and offers preparation for
teachers who have to teach music
in the public schools, .for which
the demand is greatly increasing.
Normal Couyse for Music Teach-
ers: This has been a very p 0 p U .
lar course and is one of the very
few similar courses in this
country.
Preparatory School: Especial
attention is given to young girls
who are not yet ready for col-
lege. A separate building with
modern - appointments is being
erected for thiff school during the
present summer. This school is
provided with an excellent faeul-
-ty and instruction in drawing,
cooking and sewing is a part of
the regular course. Girls as
young as twelve years of age
will bo received in tho boarding
department.
The Management Brenau has
been under the same management
for the past fourteen years, dur
ing which time it hns been owned
and conducted by Presidents Van
Hoose nnd Pearce and has in
creased in size from a boarding
patronage of about fifty to more
than two hundred and fifty. The
institution is non-denominational
but distinctly Christian in spirit
and purpose.
Expenses: The cost of a year’s
course at Brenau may vary from
$200 to $400. Expenses may be
redeed as low ns at any school
of first rank, with good room and
first class teachers. But there are
also some unusually expensive
teachers and some unusually ele
gant accommodations for which it
is necessary to charge a higher
rate than is charged in the aver-
tige college. These differences in
rates, however, are always in pro
portion to the cost to the college.
Catalogue: A beautiful illus
trated catalogue containing full
information concerning courses of
study, rates, etc., will be sent free
upon application. State what
subjects you are interested in so
that other literature bearing upon
the subject-may also be sent.

"Hlx first eight of Oxford gave him a
fright bowevor, for tho family likeness
between thorn to marked. He did not
think It would bo wlao, after all, to
appear In public and have the reaem-
b hi nee commented on by strangers, Juot
at the time that Oxford wao to be put
out of the way. Therefore he kept to

Plng In the hotel had a glimpse of him,
except Kenrlth, and perhaps Elapeth
Dean, one night when he came through
the teem door Into her tower room,
not knowing that any one elept there.
"It was he who bad the secret of that
strange old bed in that room. Ha met

helped me carry her to the room
where aha f
where aha had slept. She was uncon
scious, and It was easiest to leave her
there then, as we had other work to
do Quickly. But he said the head of
the bedstead was one with the wall
which divided the room from the secret
passage, and without moving her the
whole bed could be slid along, the mat
tress tipped np and the girt thrown on
the floor of the passage. Then the bed
could be slid back again, and every
thing In the tower room would look aa
It had looked before.
"Oar big mistake was In letting her
live till we should be able to come back
and carry out a plan I had for putting
It out of her power to Injure ue.
"Once again I tried to serve myself
and the Syndicate by taking Oxford’s
life, but then, ns always, fate has
seemed to be against me. Time a/ter
time he has been saved In one way or
another—twice by hts dog; at last by
me, since I am dying In his place."
Lord Lochraln was never brought to
trial for crimes committed and crimes
planned, for In attempting to escape
from tho pursuing detective he slipped
on the stairs which led from the secret
way to an underground passage, and,
falling to the bottom, broke hts neck.
But a short confession signed Just be
fore death by Trowbridge and Ken-
rlth’s recognition of the face In the
tower would have been enough to doom
him, had he lived. s
Clews followed by the mysterious
Underground Syndicate In search of
prey were traced again by men em
ployed by Oxford, and his case was
proved, one valuable bit of evidence
being the sketch of his father—a
speaking likeness of himself—preserv
ed by Elapeth Dean.
Not far from the dead body of An
nette Drlta, In the secret room, were
found all the stolen Jewels, this of
LadF Ardcllffe, as well as Kenrith’s
famous diamond and pearl. But there
were uo papers compromising the Un
derground Syndicate, and that organi
sation still works with all IU old se
crecy and astounding success. t
Lady Hilary has now no need to
£ rove her Innocence to any one, and
ady Ardcltffe was forced to apologise
for ail she said. As for Elspelh, she
had never fulterod In her loyal belief
In her beloved friend, nnd It was not
through any curious questioning, hut
purely by accident, that she learned
from Hilary’s own Ups the explanation
of certain small mysteries which had
puxzled her.
Hilary had not wanted her mother to
know where Kenrlth kept hla Jewels,
lest, In her foolish pride of seeming to
know all hts affairs, she might be
tempted to speak of that which * d
better bo kept secret.
When the girl had bent over Kenrlth
as he lay unconscious after the motor
accident Bhe had thought nothing of
the Jewels, nothing of all her wild talk
to Elapeth, but only of the man him
self. She had laid her hand upon Ills
heart to see If It were still beating, and
It was then that Trowbridge and the
"Countess" bad appeared.
As for the shining Jewel that had
Oxford. She
openly because of her mother, and had
kept it hidden Inside her dress, mean
ing to give It back If she should be
compelled to engage herself to another
man.
Captain Oxford did not wish to hurry
on his marriage now. Because he loved
Hilary so much, and because he had
suffered so much pain and humiliation
at the hands of the girl's mother, he
wished to be In the poaaeaslon of hla
title and estates before she came to
him aa hla wife.
It was different, however, with Ken-
rith. The sooner Elapeth Dean could
belong Co him the better he would be
pleased; and there waa no reason for
waiting.
After that strange and terrible night
the little stenographer was the heroine
uf Lochraln Castle Hydro. But abe was
no longer a stenographer. ,
The girl considered herself still
bound to work for Mr. McGowan until
her fortnight was up; but Kenrlth
would not hear of this arrangement,
now that she was engaged to him. He
Insisted that Mr. McGowan should at
once telegraph to London for some one
to fill Elspeth's place; and that he
should state to the manager of the
agency at the same time bU reaaon
for rupersedlng her. Therefore, instead
of learning that her protegee’ had been
unsatisfactory, Elspeth's old friend.
Miss Smith, was Informed that Miss
Dean was to marry John Kenrlth, the
millionaire from tho North, whose book
on social questions she had been typing
when they first made acquaintance.
Tho girl had been liked by all the
guests at the hotel who had come In
contact with her, and the news of her
engagement pleased everybody—every,
body, with one exception.
That exception wax Lady Lambart,
to whom Elapeth Dean’s happiness
ture, better be lived abroad.
Of all places on earth, Lochraln.Cas
tle Hydro was the last one where she
wished to remain, since it also shel
tered Elspcth Dean; but a certain stub
born pride compelled her to consent to
Hilary's wish that they should re
main. Outwardly, she was on friendly
terms with Kenrlth, guessing that Els-
peth had not told him of her cruelty,
and, as Hilary was asked to be brides
maid, she actually found herself com
pelled, unless she would betray Iter
feelings, to be present at the wedding.
The happiest day of Elspeth's life
was the most miserable one In Ida
Lambort’s: but she wore a brave
enough smile on her handsome face as
she bore her punishment.
Six weeks later came Hilary's mar
riage to the new Lord Lochraln, about
whose great romance everyone was
talking. This might have been a tri
umph for the bride’s mother had she
been as other mothers, but she realized
when It was too late that she had
played her cards badly for her own
hand, after all.
She was not disappointed In the ot
her forty years of life. She had had
many hard blowa, but the lose of John
Kenrlth, and hla love for the girl she _ __
had hated and tried to ruin, was the i gentle-hearted Hilary did not speak of
-• •" ’any future life together. And now. In
hardest of all. Many days passed be
fore she was able to console herself In
the smallest degree by the refieetton
that at least her' daughter would be
marrying a rich man when she mar
ried the new Lord Lochraln, and that
probably the mother of Lady Lochraln
would have her debts paid and be de
cently provided for.
' She had done all she could to sepa
rate the lovers, but they, had come to
gether In spite of bar, and she knew
Hilary well enough to be eure that she
would want for nothing.
She even tried to atone for the past
