Frederick tells her of God, of whom she has never heard, and His written word, the Bible, and bids her pray nnd have faith. Tess steals a Bible from the Mission church painfully spells out the lessons taught her liy Frederick, and the untutored girl’s faith brings her a wonderful strength and hope. Professor Young, an eminent legal authority and an Influence in the community, touched by her profound faith In a Dower that will aid her father, intercedes for her and secures a new trial for her father Tess Is happy over this evidence of God's love for Iter, hut gives Freder ick Graves more credit than she does the professor.

White’s Fall-Winter Opening Monday An Authentic Fashion Exhibit to Continue the Whole Week. Music by Andonegui Or chestra. The 1914-1915 Fall and Winter open ing of the J. B. White and Company store will take place Monday. There will be music by the Andone gui Orchestra from 10:30 to 12:30 and I from 3:30 to 5:30 o'clock Monday. The exhibit will continue all week. The J. B. White Company has an nounced thut great care has been tak en to make this Fashion Exhibit one that is comprehensive and authentic. Looking to this, representatives of the firm visited New York during the late Summer and early early Fall. More than gratifying is the result, and shoppers, knowing that depend ence can be put in what these repre sentatives say concerning fashions, patronize the store generously. Certainly the styles are graceful and pleasing. A generous'fulncss in skirts of dresses and coats, frequently bolnq gained by a circular effect lends a freedom of movement which is im possible wtth garments less full. Waists are so large as to give the effect of garments being suspended from the ahoutders. Sleeves are long | and tight, generally. Coats are mad" to button close up or not. as the wear er wishes. The high standing collar prevalla. Rashes, soft and broad, are used wtth particularly effective draped designs. On the other hand the dresses, while fuller, do not show such change as anils. Blouses In every instance have changed, every variation from the tailored blouse to the basque being rung. Draped skirts and tunics vie with full gathered skirts set plainly into a wide belt. Hat* show the Influence of the Eu ropean war more than anything else. Someone has said that any word-stir ring event shapes itself into a million ways, and pointed out that It might even affect the styles of women’s wear. Here this is true of hats. The Colo nial design, showing a variety of mili tary motifs, is by far the most popu • lar. and the Napoleon and Admlml hats, and headgear worn by French. Belgian. Ruzelnn, German and British soldiers, with their picturesque shapes, are easily discernible. And the church has given the provocation for the bir rttn hat, the mitre hat and the car dinal hat. Bright color*, and bright trip wrings, even metallic ornaments, arc used. / -J i * 1 * ji - ; SCENE FROM ACT 111. Speaking ... THE ... Public Mind GEN. MGR. SPOFFORD WRITES CARD. Augusta, Ga., Oct. 3rd, 1914. The Herald: I have read with interest the article which appeared in your October 2nd issue in "Speaking the Public Mond” column on the subject of Monte Sano street car service, signed by "Another Hill Resident,” and inviting a reply from me on this subject. When the schools opened we start ed to check the morning cars both on the Summerville side and the Monte Sano side, with a view of determining what the probable traffic conditions would be, so that proper extra service, if neded, could be determined. We found on the Monte Sano side that the cars leaving the pavilion at 8.07 and 8.22 were the two heaviest trips, and also that the same number of passengers did not ride the cars every morning; for instance on Sept. 29th the car leaving the Pavilion at 8.07 had on board 52 passengers, w T hile on October Ist this same car carried 84 passengers, consequently one day extra service would be need ed, while on the next day it would not be be needed. On Friday, September 18th, an ex tra car was put on to double-head with trip leaving the Pavilion at 8.22 a. an., and my very good friend is 1 mistaken in thinking that this car has ever been pulled off. It has run every morning since except Saturday and Sunday. He evidently received his impression from the fact that on one rainy day last week an extra car was put on to double-head the 8.07 trip. We are now double-heading both the 8.07 and the 8.22 trips and will continue to do so as long traffic de mands it. I wish to assure all of our patrons that our one idea is “efficient service” and that any suggestions for the bet terment of our service are alw'ays gladly received and adopted, when feasible. Trusting that the imlnd of "Another Hill Resident” Is now clear on the above matter, I beg to remain, Verytruiy his, and yours R. W. SPOFFORD, General Manager, Augusta-Aiken Ry & Elec. Corp. To Revive Cotton Dresses. To The Herald: It may be that the exclusion of for eign fashions by reason of the ob structionc of export from Europe may lead to the revival of the use of ma terials and designs which will be rec ognized as to the manner born and carrying the approval of traditional taste. Fabrics of cotton formed the mate rial of the garments of our grand mothers and of their mothers in an cestral sequence. These were woven, dyed and fashioned here at home. Silks were worn for ceremonious dis plays. But today cotton goods of even more artistic worth and decoration are produced by our great factories, and, for that matter, American silks, in American designs, can be had equal to the goods imported from the French producers. A movement Is now taking shape for our rehabilitation of the cotton dress for our women. A “fashion show” is projected at Washington in which society women are to take the leading part. And the idea is receiv ing wide approval elsewhere. In its way, this is a practical dec laration of independence parellel to, if not surpassing in its significance, the suffrage convention. Let Augusta enter vigorously into the movement. Every Augusta wo man can buy more cotton and less silks, if she'll only try. MRS. A. T. Servians Seize . Austria Supplies Roma, via.

Another student, who has also been be hind in his studies, is Ralph Davis, a young man of father dissipated habits, who is an unsuccessful suitor for Mu riel's hand. Realizing that Irving has won her affections, he hates him ac cordingly. Just before an important examination is to be held, it is discovereu that some one has tampered with the professor's papers. Circumstantial evidence points to Irving, so much so that he is expelled from college. There is no one competent to replace him on the crew, which now faces almost certain defeat at the com ing race. On the day of the race, how ever, Muriel discovers a clue and suc ceeds in establishing Irvings innocence and in proving that Davis is the guilty man. Word is sent to Irving who. de spite numerous difficulties that greatly delayed him, arrives Just in time to take his place in the boat and win the rooa for his college.

He goes out to see him and finds that he is not a leper. Crossing the mountain, the doctor meets Blair, Meta and Stull just as the latter Is begging Meta to keep away from Bait and go with him. The doctor ex amines Blair and pronounces him not a leper and tells them that the first fnuu also was not a leper. Stull departs de feated and the doctor passes on, leaving Meta and Blair to the camp. But Stull has preceded thwfn, and count ing on the fear of the town, organizes them against Blair and Meta, concealing the fact that Blair is not a leper. The man decides to kill the pair and menace them with guns, but dare not go near. Stull, knowing there is no danger, boldly assails Blair and in a hand-to-hand fight tries to kill him.
