Vhich gave them the game, 12 to
6.
Their drive was brilliant as the
Cubs, bent on crossing the Garnet
and Black line, made lino plunge
nfter line plunge, at tlmea hurling
through for laibstantlal -gains In a
triumphant march down the field.
With a furious attack, the FuF

feat of a leading eastern team In
the person of Penn State, while
the Green bowled over the Vander
bilt Commodores, rated as one of
the strongest In the Bouth 21 to
13.
The day’* play on Southern fields
brought many exciting features. In
defeating Penn State, Georgia Tech
demonstrated that It is possible to
win a football game without the
vestige of an offensive, by taklnil
csreful and constant advantage of
opponents' mistakes. In this game
Tech made but one first down
from grot that the last
play of ttys gam*, while the Nlttany
Lions had eleven. Tech's line, how
ever, gave an impressive demon
stration of defensive play In the
first three periods.
The Tulsne victory over Vnndf

“The Letters of Archie Butt”
(By JOHN E. DREWRY.)
Of special Interest to the people of
Augusta sml Macon, and of consider
able interest to all Georgians, Is the
new book, "The Dett«r» of Archie
Butt" (Doubleday, Paget, which Is
one of the important new books of the
(all season.
Major Archibald Butt, it will be re
called by many, was chief military
aide to President Roosevelt, sml also
to President Taft until Butt's tragic
death when he went down on the Ill
fated Titanic. Born in Augusta, tie.,
the Major was a Georgian of the deep
est dye. and throughout the book It
is constantly brouimt out that he and
Roosevelt formerly had many pleas
ant times talking about the state
which to both men was thoroughly
significant Roosevelt's mother was
a Georgian.
Major Butt attended Renanee Vnl
i ty IS 'Rganeasee, and upon Ins
graduation selected Journalism at his
profession, and for a time was a re
porter on the staff of The Macon
Dally Telegraph, and also on papers
In Kentucky and elsewhere. Fat*
had It worked out, though, that he
was not to remain In Journatlsm, and
Into the army he was shifted. A
gallant soldier, and a warrior of the
best mettle. It was not long before
be wa* on tb* Whit# House staff,
and later chief aide to the Pretldent.
Of Butt, th# men. an old negro In
Washington, upon erring him pars on
bis way to the White House In drrse
uniform, said: "Per# goes d# man
what'a d# highest with de mighty and
d* lowest wid de low ly of any man In
dl* rity,"
Edited with a biographical sketch
by F. Abbott, this volume
of letters Is Interesting and Informa
tive, The letter* are written to Major
Butt's mother and sister, and form
a complete record of th# activities
of the writer end the President dur
ing the days the two were together.
There 1# not much heavy matter In
the letter* such as discussion* of
politic!* and matters of state, burgd

side of he President'# life, activities

Few biographies of Roosevelt tell
more of the man than does this col

was constantly at his side Even
Charnwood a biography and Cotton's
"Ideals of Roosevelt” fall to paint a
better picture of the President than
does this Butt letter collection.

Columbia and Knoxville to
Be Invited Into Sally League
CHARLOTTE, N. C.—The directors of the South Atlantic
League meeting with President W, G. Bramham here, decided to
invite Columbia, 8. C., and Knoxville, Tcnn., to join so aa to make it
an eight club circuit. It it understood that Columbia and Knox
ville interests have expressed desire to get into the league and
the meeting Saturday night was for the purpose of taking formal
action, it was said.
Qe/tOdifll jM
@192 4 h r UEA Service Inc. WL.1.1 tS
BEGIN HERE TODAY.
The body of Douglae Raynor
ia found in the early evening
on the floor of the eun room
at Flower Acres, his Long Is
land home. Standing over the
dead man, pistol in hand, is
Malcom Finley, former sweet
heart of Raynor'* wife, Nancy.
Eva Turner, Raynor'* nurse,
stands by the door with her
hand etill on the light switch.
In a moment Nancy appears,
white-faced end terrified. Or
ville Kent, Nancy's brother,
comes in from the south side
of the room, and then Ezra
Goddard, friends of Finley, with
others, enter upon the scene. Po
lice, headed by Detective Dob
bins, are conducting an investi
tion. “I picked up the wea
pon after finding the body of
Raynor on the floor,” explains
Finley. Nurse Turner fixes the
time of the ehot at five minutes
before seven. “Is her testi
mony to be relied on?” asks
Goddard.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
"Just what do you mean by that,
Mr. Cloddard?”
"Only that if Miss Turner chose,
for any reason, to state the time In
accurately, she could of course do
so. Myself, I think the shot was
fired a trifle earlier than that."
"Now as to the weapon," Dob
bins said briskly. Ignoring Ezra
Goddard's suggestion. "Who can
Identify this pistol?”
•'Every one of us." Kent said,
carelessly. “It was the property of
my brother-in-law, and was al
ways kept In the upper right-hand
drawer of that desk, at your side.”
"Was It, Indeed?" nnd Dobbins
seemed surprised. "And was It, to
your knowledge, Mr. Kent, in that
drawer Just before the shooting?"
“To my belief, rather than knowl
edge—a belief based on the as
sumption that It was doubtless
there, because that was Its accus
tomed place."
“Or,” suggested Malcolm Finley.
“In tho event of an 111-intentioned
Intruder, Mr. Baynor himself may
have opened the drawer and taken
the pistol out to protect himself,
and so may have been shot, by his
own hand or another's."
“T can't see it as a suicide." and
Dobbins gave a long look at Finley.
"Where was any motive for Dou
glas Raynor to kill himself?”
"For that matter, who had any
motive to kill him?" nsked God
dard.
"We won't go Into that at pre
sent." Dobbins returned, quickly.
"No. don't," was Goddard's warn
ing. "Let me tell you, Mr. Dobbins,
this case is far from simple. Let
me ask you to go slowly for there
are many things yet to be discover
ed."
"That I well know. Mr. Goddard.
But this pistol Is a valuable bit of
evidence. We must take care of it.
It will, of course, show the finger
prints of Mr. Malcolm Finley—as be
handled It. If It shows no others
"It will prove that the muvderer
wore gloves," said Ezra Goddard.
"Let me come In —let me hear all
this!”
The words were spoken by Dolly
Fay. who came Into the room, look
ed quickly ahout and then seated
herself close to Nan
Ask me thine*. Mr. Detective—l
can tell you a let."
"Your evidence would be of no
use. miss; we can't take children as
witnesse* —"
"Pooh, I guess you'll be glad to
get evidence from anybody—ls If*
good evidence."
"Do you know anvthlne about
the matter?" asked Dobbins.
"Not a thing—"
"Why did you rome over here
Dolly?" asked Nan. "1 think you'd
better run heme again."
"Not T. I’m here to help—why.
Nancy. I was In bed. and I beard
the telephone, and I heard our peo
ple talking ahout it—somebodv was
telling Dad the news—nnd I Just
hopped up and shifted into my togs
and ran over."
"I'll take you home, Doll.” and
Kent rose
"No, Orrv, you don't unde-stand.
I've a bit of detective tnstlnet. Nan.
vou needn't pretend you're sorry
he's dead—•"
"Dolly, be quiet"' Miss Mattie
glared at her "You're a wicked
little thing, and ! order vou to go."
"Put you're not mistress here.
Miss Mattie."
She was an impertinent, forward
child, yet something in her man
ner made Ezra Goddard feel that
she might be of use, and he said: 1
“Let the child stay ls she liks.
No possible witness iSught to be ig
nored. Did you hear the shot fired,
Miss Fay?”
Oh. no! If I had I'd have been
over here at once. At what time
did It happen?"
"A few Vninutes before seven,”
Goddard answered.
“Before seven? Then that’s Just
when Orry and I stood on the little
bridge—too far away to hear a shot
—who did it?”
Th H girl's big eyes moved slowly
from one to another.
Then she nodded her head. “A
bad man from outside, of course.
Did anybody see anything of him?
I know who he was."
"You know who he was!” De
tective Dobbins fairly Jumped.
“Well—l can't say positively, of
course, but—there's one way to
, look—‘you know whom I mean, Miss
Mattie.”
And the queer child refused to
mention the person she had in mind
and Miss Raynor declared she had
no knowledge of what Dolly meant.
"I attach little importance to this
baby-talk," said Dobbins, grandly.
Mrs. Raynor, X must ask you a few
personal questions. Would you pre
fer to see me alone—on the sub
ject?”
"No,” said Nan, faintly, and her
hand slid into her brother’s, while
Dolly Fay, on her other side, patted
her arm affectionately, "I will an
swer anything you ask —right here.”
"Indeed, you will," put in Miss
Mattie. “You’re In a desperate po
sition. Nancy—l want to hear what
you have to say. For it is an open
secret —”
"You are not being Interrogated,
Miss Kaynor," Goddard interrupted
her: •‘kindly be silent.”
“Be silent yourself, Mr. Goddard.
You are, I know, a friend of Mr.
Finley, and you, of course, fear any
disclosures that will Involve him,
but let me tell you those disclosures
must be made—the affair of Nancy
and Malcolm Finley must be made
public, and then the motive for the
doing away with my poor brother
"Oho,” and Dobbins looked en
lightened, "that's how it is, is it?
Now, Mrs. Raynor, since you are
ready to answer me, Just what were
your personal relations with your
late husband? Amicable or—other
wise?”
"Amicable, certainly,” and Nan's
clear, cool voice came as a sur
prise to all who listened.
“Ah—certainly.” The detective
was at a loss Just how to carry on
his grilling process. “You held your
husband then In high esteem?”
'lndeed, yes, Mr. Dobbins.”
"Mrs. Raynor,” the detective
looked at her severely, "you have a
different mental attitude now from
that which you showed when 1
questioned you before. I may say
you have a grip on yourself. I can
not, tnerefore, place entire confi
dence in your statements. I shall
have to ask corroboration. Miss
Raynor, do you assert that there
was no jarring note in the marital
attitude of Mr. and Mrs. Raynor?’’
"I do not assert that, Mr. Dob
bins, but the exact contrary. My
brother and his wife were both un
congenial and unhappy. They had
few, if any. tastes In common, there
was constant friction, even quar
rels.”
Nancy Raynor looked at Miss
The daily test
SUPPOSE you tested everything before
buying w held it under searching

over and over. Not then could you feel so

Without this satisfaction, they couldn’t con

have withered a less belligerent na

And then the medical examiner
came In from the other room.
“There are strange developments
In this case,” he said; "I suggest,
Mr. Dobbins, that you defer your
further questnolng until morning.
I must also|lnform you, Mrs. Ray
nor, that we have to take away
your husband’s body tonight. An
autopsy Is necessary. Dobbins, let
everything remain as It Is until to
morrow. The household may retire
—nobody may leave the house—
who is this child?"
"I’m Dolly Fay—a neighbor. I’m
going to stay the night with Mrs.
Raynor.
"But, Dolly, dear,” Nan said,
gently, what will your mother think
when she finds your room vacant?”
“Oh, that’s all right. I pinned a
note on my pillow, telling her I had
come over here.”
Fraser, the county examiner, gave
a few more Instructions to the de
tective and went away.

A Lot Yet To Be Told
Dolly Fay slept In Douglas Ray

at last sheer exhaustion made Nan
fall into troubled slumber as day
light began to dawn, Dolly awoke
refreshed and alert.
She hopped out of bed and ran
to look at Nan. Seeing her asleep,
the girl tiptoed away, and her quick
eyes caught sight of a bit of folded
paper under the door.
She picked It up and without un
folding it, laid it on Nan’s dressing
table. Then, reconsidering, she
woke Nan up to tell her of It.
Wide awake at once, "Give It to
me,” the older woman said.
"Sitting up in bed, she read these
