A Good Catch By R. RAY BAKER ((E). J 920. hy McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) “Either of them would be a good eateli," said Mrs. Hendricks, bustling about the studio and setting things to rights. “I believe, though, I would take Mr. Seldon —if I was doing Hie selecting. Mrs. Hendricks, erstwhile society matron, now “ori her uppers,” and serv ing Clare Hawley as general business manager, social manager, bookkeeper, housekeeper and maid, punched a sofa pillow In the face and reversed It against the back of the davenport, then stood off, arms akimbo, and sur veyed the offending object with a no less critical eye than she w'ould have used in arranging draperies in a royal palace. Clare Hawley, artist, clad in dress ing gown and slippers, smiled some what tolerantly, as though the subject Interested her about os much as the price of ice In the arctic, and went on munching meditatively on a piece of dry toast, while she reclined lazily in a deep, luxurious chair. Now and tlien she sipped from a cup of steaming coffee. Success had been dwelling with Clare fur three months. Her picture, “The Water Lily’s Dance,” had met with such favor once It got on exhibi tion, that she was carried In 24 hours from the bottom rung of the ladder, where she had plodded and grieved, and half starved, to the top, where she worked when it struck her fancy nod lived on the best the land afforded. Much of tier success witli “The Wa ter Lily’s Dance” was due to the ef forts and Influence of Mrs. Hendricks, who was largely responsible for plac ing the picture on exhibition; so when Mrs. Hendricks suffered a decided re verse of fortune through the cccentri —, ••(a. “I Believe, Though, I Would Take Mr. Seldon." cities of Wall street and came to her with a tale of woe, Clare gave her a place in the studio. Mrs. Hendricks never would have served anyone else in the same capacity, but she wor shiped art and artists, and especially did she worship her protege. “Mr. Pontello, though, is the best looker,” Sirs. Hendricks observed, seiz ing a dustless duster and getting busy with It about the legs of a table. “And they’re both rich—that’s the best part of it,” she added ns an afterthought, as though that phase of the subject had never before occurred to her. Clare, draining the coffee cup, wiped some remnants of toast from her lap and laid the cup and plate on the table. “Oh, they’re both line fellows, and both good looking, and both very ac complished musicians, and both rich,” she said, standing and making a few alterations in tile arrangement of her hair. "Mr. Seldon plays wonderfully on the violin, and Mr. I’onteilo has no peer on the piano.’’ If Mrs. Hendricks could have be come cognizant of the workings of Clare’s m'nd Just them, she would have gasped with astonishment, for neither Hie pale blue eyes of Mr. Seldon nor tiie midnight orbs of Mr. Pontello played even a minor role in the medi tations of tlie procrastinating artist. The picture that Clare visualized had to do with a country town. She vi sioned herself in a sunbonnet and ging ham dress walking along the street in company with a freckled youth who was carrying her books. The scene Shifted and the new one might have been called ’’Six Years Later” if It had been part of a film play. In iter fancy site was attending a barn dance, where country lads and lassies cavorted and coquetted and flirted in their rustic way, and all of them were smiling and happy, al though none was handsome or accom plished or rich. The music was furnished by a tall, gangling youth, mounted on a plat form, sawing on a violin and stamping his foot loudly to make up for the ab sence of drums. The gangling youth was the freckled hoy grown up. Another scene showed Clare on the rear platform of the last coach of a train, which was moving from a sta tion. The gangling youth stood on the platform, a forlorn-looking object, and Clare’s eyes filled with tears as the train carried her out of sight. Clare sighed, and took from a drawer of the table a letter which she opened and read. Her mouth took on a wist ful expression and her eyes glistened. Mrs. Hendricks bustled into the room an hour later and found Clare busy at her easel. “Have yon decided, dearie?” she aked. "Have you chosen?” “I have At our little, party tonight you will announce my engagement.” “To Mr. Seldon?” breathed Mrs. Hendricks hopefully. Clare shook tier head. “I’m not telling you who it is to be. You will know no sooner than the others. When you get ready to make the announcement I will slip you a folded paper containing the name.” Mrs. Hendricks looked disappointed, crestfallen. • “By the way.” said Clare, “a boy from my old home town is coming to see me today—and he’s going to be a guest at tlie party.” Mrs. Hendricks’ lips framed a re monstrance, but an idea struck her and she exclaimed: “That’s a good idea. It will be some thing novel; he’ll furnish some amuse ment and he no end of fun. Is he an entertainer?” "Yes, he plays the violin; not like Mr. Seldon, but he plays well, in his own peculiar way.” All was ready for the party except that Clare and the newly Invited guest were absent. Mrs. Hendricks toid Mr. Seldon and Mr. Pontello of tlie treat that was in store —a selection by a rus tic violinist, and also that Clare’s choice of n husband would be an nounced. Both Seldon and Mr. Pon teiln looked hopeful. Presently Clare entered, followed by a young man. The latter’s face was not unattractive, In spite of the deep tan and freckles peeping through it. Introductions followed and soon din ner was served. Then tlie evening’s impromptu entertainment began, Mr. Seldon opening with tlie very latest of classical selections. Sam Hilton, the newcomer, looked in awe and stared helplessly at the battered violin ease he bad lugged In with him. Mr. Pontello sat at the piano and rendered a masterpiece In skillful fash ion, ami discouragement displayed it self on Mr. Hilton’s countenance. “Now, Mr. Hilton, will you favor us?” Mrs. Hendricks asked. The person addressed rose awkward ly, opened the violin case and took out a sad-lookiug Instrument. He placed it to his chin, tightened the how and applied It to the strings, and then his arm began to shake and his legs to tremble. A moment later lie braced up, ills arm became steady, his legs stiffened, and tlie strains of "Home, Sweet Home” began to sound in the ears of the assemblage. Their laugh ing censed and their faces grew grave as they listened. Clare actually cried. When the program came to a close Mrs. Hendricks, at a sign from Clare, rose with a smirk, coughed and be gan: “Friends, this is n most auspicious occasion, for Miss Clare is to announce her choice In matrimony, or, rather, I am to announce it for her. So I hereby make known her engagement to —” Clare slipped a folded paper to Mrs. Hendricks, who opened it and read aloud: "Mr. Samuel Hilton of Clear brook.” Then Mrs. Hendricks gasped, seemed to choke and sank dazed into the near est chair. MOST FAMOUS GERMAN TRIBE Hessian Infantry Has Been Known and Celebrated Since the Earliest Days of History. The chief strength of the armies of the ancient Germans consisted in their infantry. For infantry no tribe was more celebrated than the Hes sians, or Catti, who dwelt in the dis trict of Catzenellenhogen, and were better trained than all others to mili tary discipline and to the maneuvers of regular warfare. The Hessians were not only very tall, powerful ami undaunted warriors, who intimidated their foes by their fierce and terrific aspect, but they also possessed se cure military positions and were un der a more strict obedience to their leaders than any other troops. Among the Hessians the young men wore iron rings ns a budge of servile rank until the slaughter of au enemy had proved them to he deserving of their freedom. They were accustomed to leave the heard unshaven until war like exploits had proved their man hood. Before a battle a war song was chanted by the hards, who were the singers uud philosophers of the Ger mans. Among the Hessians there was a company of young men who imposed an obligation on themselves to he al ways the foremost in battles, for which service they were maintained by the public cost. The troops were drawn up according to clans or families, and when it was possible the wives and children of the combatants were spec tators to the battle from some secure place. The mothers exulted In bind ing the glorious wounds which their sons had received and the warriors found their sweetest recompense in the animated praises of their wives. In the Game of Life. Don’t imagine that in the long run you can ever “get ahead” of anyone hy trying to do so. In the game of life none ever comes out winner except hy forgetting the other fellow and stick ing industriously to his own row. PEARSON TRIBUNE. PEARSON. GEORGIA.

L'o the voters of Atkinson County: Being thoroughly convinced that 1 did not get a fair deal at the •minty primary of March 17th, and upon the advice and insistence jf many friends who feel that I was unfairly treated at said pri mary, 1 now offer myself as a can lidate for Tax Collector of Atkin : son county at the general election -»n November. In presenting myself at this time as a candidate for your con sideration and suffrage 1 am actu ated by no selfish, sordid motive. 1 have the highest personal regard for the other candidates and would not wilfully misrepresent or treat them unfairly; but 1 do want a fair and square election. 1 am charged with being incom petent. 1 submit the tax books of 1919 as a refutation of this charge; the books speak for themselves and do not misrepresent the facts. lYlloweitizens, 1 ask for vindi cation at your hands. If elected I will endeavor to do my full duty and make you an acceptable pub lic servant. Respectfully submitted. Rowan Corbitt. Notice to School Patrons. To the Patrons of the Schools of Atkinson County: I have been served with notice from lion. M. L. Brittain, State School Superintendent, that unless the Compulsory Education Law is j enforced he would withhold the school fonds from this county, as he is authorized to do by the law. This would mean our ruin. We must have whatever money is ap propriated for this county. I therefore deem it my duty as Attendance Officer to enforce this law, so that we may not be depriv ed of these funds. You will please acquaint yourselves as patrons of the schools, with the law. and see whether or not you are complying with it. It is not lawful for you to keep your children out of school even for one day without getting ex cused. Teachers can excuse you iu cases off sickness or other emer gem y. but they must be sure your request is just. If your children is not in school for any reasou I advise you to see me or some one of the school au thorities at once. Youis truly, Sankey Booth, Attendance Officer. Pearson, Ga., Sept. 22,1620.
