SYNOPSIS—In carrying out the very hand- v ’B
some bargain he had exacted from Haggerty, w
managing editor of the Star, to squash the libel
Suit for $5,000,000 brought against the paper by
Connie Allenbury, Bill Chandler (after marrying
Haggerty’s fiancee as a temporary thing so he
could sue Connie for alienation of affections')
goes to London to return home on the same ship
with the Allenburys. He tries to get Connie in
his stateroom so his private detective could find ' *
them alone there, but Connie sends some one
else. Bill begins to arouse her interest when he
tells her he is glad she did not come—a girl so
fragile should be kept in a glass house. -
CHAPTER SIX
The Bride Is Surprised.
Chandler arrived at his hotel
apartment, where he had left his
two-hour bride, to find Warren Hag
gerty awaiting him and demanding
an explantion.
“First you wire us that every
thing’s jake—she’s coming to your
cabin for cocktails; then we get an
other wire saying everything’s off.
What happened?”
“The wonder boy laid an egg!”
cooked Gladys.
“She never stirred from her cabin
for three days,” exolained Chandler,
ignoring Gladys’ wisecrack. “Then
when I had everything arranged for
her to come to my room for (cock
tails she didn’t show.”
“What is this fatal fascination you
have for women?” simpered Gladys.
“For two weeks I’ve been planning
my big scene —giving myself to art,
just sitting here alone, in solitary
confinement, I even had my ticket to
Reno, hotel reservation and a lawyer
engaged and for what?”
“Its a million to one you’ll never
see those people again,” said Hag
gerty dejectedly.
“I’m seeing old man Allenbury to
morrow. I’m leaving town with him
for his lodge in the Adirondacks —a
week-end of fishing.”
“Why, that’s fine, Bill! Great! Is
Connie . . .”
z ‘No, she won’t be with us, but it’s
a perfect ‘in’. After a week-end with
him there it’s a cinch to draw an in
vitation to his Long Island manor.”
“Perfect!” jubilated Haggerty. “It’s
an even better set-up than the boat.
Don’t you. think so, Gladys ? ”
“As a Romeo I still insist that
guy’s a washout!”
“Will you close up, Gladys? Bill’s
done good work. But up to a minute
ago I was plenty worried.”
“Where you stop worrying, I be
gin,” said Bill. “I’m going trout fish
ing tomorrow and I’ve never held a
rod in my hand. I told Allenbury fish
tales that would curl your hair—en
thralled, fascinated him. Now, I’ve
got to deliver or he’ll know I’m a
liar. And then he’ll begin to wonder
why I lied.”
“That’s not so good,” hemmed
Haggerty, then snapped his fingers.
“I’ll have a fishing coach here in the
morning. He’ll teach you.”
“In the morning ? Him ? Here ? ”

demanded Gladys. “Where am I sup
posed to go?”
“You stay here of course. Remem
ber, you’re married.”
“If I could only forget it!” Bill
started for the bedroom and she de
manded belligerently: “Hey! Where
are you going?”
“To make up my bed—here in the
living room.” He went into the bed
room and Gladys appealed desperate
ly to Haggerty:
“Why can’t you stay here? There’s
two beds.”
“The three of us? Be reasonable!
Would that look married?”
“You mean you’re willing to leave
me, your fiancee, here alone with
that guy?”
“Bill’s my friend. I trust him like
a brother. Why, he won’t know you
are in the place!” ♦
“Are you trying to tell me that I
could be alone with a man and he
wouldn’t know I was around?”
“But Bill isn’t the sort—”
“Go ahead! Run along!” said
Gladys, her vanity piqued. “But when
he comes tapping at my door I’m go
ing to telephone you and you come
and get me. And, unless I’m cuckoo,
you’ll hear from me before mid
night!”
Haggerty seized on the dismissal
to make a quick get-away. Chandler
returned from the bedroom, his arms
filled with quilts and a pillow. Gladys
ostentatiously examined the lock on
the bedroom door. She took the key
and put it in the lock on the inside.
“This door doesn’t look very
strong.”
“I’ll have a bolt put on it in the
morning,” said Bill.
“On my side,” said Gladys quickly.
“I’ll make it both sides.”
She locked herself in the bedroom,
put the key under her pillow, but re
mained undressed, waiting for Chand
ler to ask admittance. Then she fell
'asleep in her chair. It was daylight
when the ringing of the telephone
awakened her. She heard Bill an
swering it sleepily.
“Flowers ? . . . On the way up ?
. . . All right.”
“Who’s phoning at this hour?” de
manded Gladys. “For me?”
“Flowers for you on the way up.
I’ve got to hide the bed clothes be
fore the boy comes up. Open the
door.”
After a momen’s frantic search,
Gladys cried: “I’ve lost the key!”
“You would!” Chandler threw down
the bedclothes, took the key from the
front door and unlocked the door to
the bedroom. Gladys confronted him
in the doorway.
“Where did you get the key?”
“The front door key always fits
both doors,” he told her.
“You mean the key was there all
night?” she asked, disbelieVingly.
“Where did you expect it to be?”
he replied off-handedly as there came
a knock at the door. He threw the
quilts and pillow into the bedroom,
opened the door and took the box of
flowers.
“For me, dear?” asked Gladys,
taking an alluring pose in the door
way.
“Yes, darling.” While he tipped the
bellboy, she opened the box and read
the card.
“I didn’t send those flowers. Hag
gerty sent them and signed my name.
Just part of the game.”
She was miffed. “Oh, I suppose
you wouldn’t send a girl flowers.”
“I’ve kept more florists shops alive
than any man in town. I give orchids
away like 5-cent cigars.”
“But you wouldn’t send them to
me? Is that it?” She tapped the
floor angrily with her toes.
Bill was puzzled. “Not unless Hag
gerty or the paper paid for them.
Now if you don’t mind I’ve got to get
dressed and go out for breakfast.”
“I don’t think you should go out,”
said Gladys, thinking fast. “Aren’t
we supposed to have breakafts to
gether? The plan, I mean. Besides,
the fish-man is coming.”
When there came a knock on the
door he started to rise.
“Oh, don’t you bother,” she said
domestically. “I’ll go.”
It was Evans, the fish instructor
whom Haggerty had engaged to give
Bill his lessons in fishing.
“I’ve brought everything, sir—a
complete outfit,” said the instructor.
“You’ll have no trouble learning with
this equipment.”
They moved the furniture out of
the way so Bill would have free
space in which to practice casting.
Bill proved an inept pupil—the worst
Evans had ever had ,but the instruc
tor moved about patiently and pain
fully at his coaching job. Gladys;
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1937.
watched from a corner of the room.
“No, no, sir!” cried the coach as
Bill prepared for another cast. “Keep
the elbow low and close! .Muscle has
nothing to do with it; it’s the natural
spring in the rod.”
Bill let it spring, and again caught
the hook in the already torn curtains.
“Too bad I’m not going fishing for
curtains!” he said in disgust. “I’d be
a sensation!”
Gladys dislodged the hook. “May
be if you broke a leg and had to stay
home—•”
“Now that’s what I call construc
tive!” cried Bill, glaring at her. He
cast again. The hook caught in a
brass plate on the wall.
“Bull’s eye!” cried Gladys as the
plate rang. “Give the gentleman a
cigar!”
The instructor stepped back to lay
out a ground plan. “Pretend, sir,
there’s a five-pound beauty in the
pool yonder behind that boulder —
Mrs. Chandler is the boulder. Would
you mind bending forward, Mrs.
Chandler? I’m a tall tree just behind
you. Don’t forget your wrist.”
Bill got the rod in position, reeled
in the line, then, then wig-wagged
with his wrist. “I think I’ll use the
catapult switch on this.”
Gladys rubbed her hands together
like a ball-player. “Remember, there’s
a man on second!”
Suddenly Bill’s wrist stiffened. “It’s
no use!” he raged in self-disgust. “I
know the words and I know the the
ory, but I’m just not meant for an
angler. The only way I can do it is
like this.”
He flung the rod in a curious un
derhand stroke that landed the hook
on the rear of the jutting boulder,
which was Gladys. She uttered a sur
prised scream, while the instructor
cried wildly. “You did it! You did it!
Not one angler in fifty can master
that underhand stroke!”

The New Year’s Gift to Georgia
HOW THE NEW RATES
BRING YOU SAVINGS
Os the total savings to consumers,
SIBO,OOO a year will result from the
last of a series of automatic annual rate
reductions which began in January,
1934. An additional reduction of $275,-
000 a year will result from an entirely
new rate, now in force, which offers
special benefits to small consumers.
The new “inducement” rate which
allows twenty kilowatt hours for the
first dollar, instead of fifteen as for
merly, is lower than but similar in its
operation to the “inducement” rate with
its “free kilowatt hour” feature which
went into effect in 1934. At that time,
two different rates were made effective,
an “immediate” rate applicable to all
residential users and a lower “induce
ment” rate available to homes which
increased their use of electricity.
Now, after three years, the higher
“immediate” rate has been wiped out
by the automatic annual reductions, and
in January the 1934-36 “inducement”
rate will become effective for all homes
served by the Company, regardless of
whether they have increased their use
of electricity or not. Those of the Com
pany’s residential users who have not
yet increased their consumption suffi
ciently to qualify for the old “induce
ment” rate will share in the annual sav
ing of SIBO,OOO in electric bills result
ing from this change.
i Increased Use
J The “inducement” feature of the
1934-36 schedule proved to be highly
popular with a vast majority of cus
tomers, and it has been an important
factor in increasing the average annual
use of electricity in homes served by
the Georgia Power Company. For the
twelve months ending November, 1936
(the most recently available figures),
these homes used an average of 1,170

HERBERT HALL PASSES AWAY.
Just at twilight on Dec. 24, the
life of Herbert L. Hall ebbed away
into the World Beyond. Never has
there been a truer soldier of the
Cross than Herbert. He bore his suf
fering with a smile, realizing the end
of his life was near. Not one fear of
what was in the future for him was
shown, which was a great consola
tion to all who were near, that he
was ready to meet his Master face
to face as he crossed the bar.
Never has there ever lived a more
consecrated Christian man than Her
bert was and even though he paid a
debt we all have eto pay, his passing
leaves a vacancy in his home, in the
community in which he lived, as in
the former communities in which he
lived, among old friends and asso
ciates, that can never be filled. His
disposition of cheerfulness, kindness
and thoughtfulness of others came
from a heart full of love for his fel
lowman which could not be excelled.
Mr. Hall leaves a wife, who was
Miss Tresvant Berry; two daughters,
Mildred and Iva Nelle; three broth
ers, Jim, of Menlo; Robert, of Ce
dartown; Luther, of Menlo, and one
sister, Mrs. Claude Baker, of Menlo.
Funeral services were held in the
Menlo Methodist church Saturday
afternoon, Dec. 26, at 1 o’clock, con
ducted by his pastor, the Rev. E. P.
Eubanks. Many beautiful floral of
ferings attested to the esteem in
which he was held. Burial followed
in the Alpine cemetery.
Buchanan Neat, Not Dressy
James Buchanan, one time Pres
ident, was above the medium in
height. His neckgear and clean
shaven face gave him much the ap
pearance of a clergyman. His face
was indicative of his Scotch - Irish
parentage. A bachelor, he could not
in any sense be called a leader in
society or a leader in dress.
Along with other opportunities, 1937 brings to Georgia homes a saving
of $455,000 in residential electric bills the profitable result of lowered
electric rates which open the doors to increased electrical comfort and con
venience in homes both large and small.
Os the $455,000 savings which it is estimated the 1937 electric rates
will give to Georgia homes, $275,000 will go to the homes using a relatively
small amount of electric service homes whose monthly bills average
$4.15, or less. The other SIBO,OOO savings will be distributed all along the
line of customers, among users large and small.
The new residential electric rates which bring these savings into being
became effective with meter readings made on or after January 1, 1937.
This saving of nearly a half a million dollars is important as money.
The rates which make it possible are more important, however, because of
the new and widespread opportunities they bring to Georgia homes. More
and more families now can take full advantage of electric service more
and more Georgia women can be freed from the back-breaking burdens of
household drudgery more and more hours of welcome leisure will be
placed at their command, to be used in doing the things they really want
to do more and more can Georgians feel the substantial joys of life that
are ever on the increase as the march toward AN ELECTRIFIED GEOR
GIA goes on!
kilowatt hours each, which usage was
65 per cent greater than the average
for homes in the nation as a whole.
Many Will Benefit
Now —with the three-year rate re
duction completed an even lower “in
ducement” rate is established by the
schedule just announced, with estimated
annual savings of $275,000 for small
electric consumers, those using 110 kilo
watt hours a month or less that is,
those whose monthly bills average
$4.15, or less.
The new “inducement” rate offers
savings to all consumers who use less
than 110 kilowatt hours per month, ap
proximately 100,000 of the Company’s
140,000 residential consumers being in
this class. For consumption of 110 kilo
watt hours per month or more, the
