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.

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 BRENAU COLLEGE. 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. Domestic Science Department. Ths Ghost of Lechrain Castle Jl Thrilling Novel of Lovi, Intrigue, Tragedy and the Mystery of a Famous ‘Diamond By MRS. C. N. WILLIAMSON, Author of "Tho Lightning Conductor," Etc., Etc. "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 bis room, and Intended to leave tomor row. So far aa 1 know, no one atop- 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 me fust as I bad made the girl prison er. after she gave the alarm of fire. 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 by being gracious to her future son-in- law v but. though scrupulously courte ous, he was Icily cold, and Lady Lam- bart guessed that hot life would, in fu- rule. the summer.
