As in a Dream ' - j K f j 4 By FREDERICK HART (©, 19*0, by McClure Newspaper Hyn (Iterate.) The bis hop crossed Ills neatly palt ered legs on the low hassock and sunk Ids shoulders deeper Into the luxurious padding In the back of his eusychalr. The room was drowsy. Sleep stole upon him. His eyes closed and his head dropped. *»»**«• The bishop dreamed a dream. It seemed quite natural that he should be talking to his brother, James. Though they had not seen each other for a long time —since that violent parting seven years ago—still, If James chose to return, the bishop was the last man In the world to deny him hospitality under certain condi tions. If he needed money, now — He addressed Ills brother. “Wlty have you cotne back?” he asked coldly. “You know," replied the other. “If it is about Marian —you cannot see her.” "Olt, I know—she can’t see tne, of course; hut I did want to talk to you about her —about her and that young Edgar Stevenson.” The bishop hardened. “That scapegrace has been under tills roof for the last time,” he said sternly. “When you went away I was appointed Marian’s guardian, and I have striven to do my duty toward her ns I saw it; to give her some of the care and love that she could never expect front tier father. I take a su- He Knew He Had Been Dreaming. pervlaion of iter companions to be a part of the duties of guardianship. Ed gar Stevenson is not a lit companion for my niece, and I do not choose that he shall continue to see her." "I know,” repeated James. “I've watched iter siuee—l’ve watched her, and you, and I know (hat site loves you dearly, and that you have given her all the love and care that I might have given her. You can understand that her impplness is my foremost con sideration.” “It was not your foremost considera tion which —” The other winced. "You needn't have said that. No one knows it better than I—now. But time and things have changed with me. I have—other interests than toy for mer rottenness; and I assure you tiiat I have now no higher duty or hope than to see Marian’s life made us hap py as possible. That is why I have come back tonight to talk to you about Edgar Stevenson.” “There is nothing you can tell me about Edgar Stevenson I do not al ready know, and nothing of that but is to his discredit. Marian seems to be fascinated with him—a man of his type hus a certain power of attrac tion for a girl of her age—and I have forbidden the intercourse. That Is final." James stood for a moment in si lence. Tlteu he cleared his throat and spoke. "As my brother, you must hear me out; as one of the two people who love Marian most, you owe It to your self und to her to listen to what I say. I>o you remember her mother?” "It Is hardly good taste, Janies for you to recall the name of that saint— you. who broke iter heart so that she died grieving for you.” Tite bishop's voice was very hard. "But hear me out! Her mother— Ethel —brother, you are wrong.” “You remember my marriage? You said I had fascinated Ethel, carried her off her feet, and perhaps I did. You are convinced that Edgar Steven son is doing the same thing for Marian. You are wrong. Stevenson has wild tendencies. I will admit; but his love for Marian is the one thing needful to snatch that brand from the burning. Step between them and you will break him—you will make of him what I was ut liia age. Marian and he belong to each other—her love can save him—v has already saved him. It Is the rock to which he clings. YtfU shall not de stroy his hope!” “James!” The bishop started to his feet; then he reseated himself “I will admit,” he went on, with bitter irony, “that you of all people are best qualified to Judge a mart's character when that man Is what Edgar Stev enson is; but I wilt not tolerate your Interference In the affairs of my,niece when you have given up ail fights which you might once have claimed as her father.” “Brother, those rights which I have renounced I have in some sort re gained. I wish to tell you that if you do not allow Marian to marry Edgar Stevenson you will set In motion a train of ruin and despair that will carry on past the uttermost limits of your Imagination. "I married Ethel and wrecked her life here; hut Marian remains as 14 living blessing oh that union. It is her happiness thut Is paramount in my mind now. And iter happiness is the happiness of Edgar Stevenson.” The bishop looked long and keenly at the face of the man before him. Finally he said In an altered tone: “How do you know tills?” His brother smiled for the first time that night. “I do know it—and Ethel—” "Ethel—she Is dead.” “Ethel,” went on the other as though he had not heard, “Ethel agrees with nte. It is my wish—and Iters —and hers." The bishop sank back into his chair. And suddenly he knew, though the knowledge brought only a great won der and no terror, that his brother James had died four years ago—given his life for another’s In a raging lire In some little town in the South; and he knew' that he had been dreaming. He started and the movement woke him. His dream left him. Two white hands were on his shoulders, and a pleading voice spoke In ills ear— Ethel’s voice—no, Marian’s. “Uncle, darling—l’ve asked Edgar to cotne up tonight and see you. Please don’t say no—please, uncle dear.” The bishop sat up. His voice was very gentle. “My dearest girl, I will say—yes. And God bless both of you." ******* Two hours later Marian said to Ed gar, “I’m afraid that uncle’s mind wanders a little. When he kissed me good-night ho called me Ethel Instead of Marian. Wasn’t that a strange mistake?” HONOR THE SCHOOLMASTER Always a Person of Great Distinction In the Famous Swiss City of Geneva. If Geneva has a reputation for con ferences, It Ims an equally good one for scholasticism. A Genevan peda gogue will (ell you that his French, ns lie teaches it, is better and purer than Parisian French, which of course, is all a matter of taste. There was a time, however, when French seemed to be fhreign to Geneva and a medieval schoolmaster could remark of that tongue that It should be taught In the city, because “In the opinion of the learned, il is by no menus to he de spised.” Though the date of the erec tion of the first public school was 11s late ns 1429 there Is a curious note extant front the Twelfth century anent an Inquiry for a teacher in Geneva who gave lessons gratuitously. The town councilors naively declared that they knew of no such person, hut were quite sure there was one wlto gave lessons for money. The first school house was built in a garden hitherto given over to crossbow practice. The public schoolmaster’s monopoly could he infringed only with Impunity. Private schoolmasters were put in the stocks, and even ordered to attend the public school as pupils, being subject to its discipline and actually com pelled to pay for their tuition. The Business Text. The Bible is the greatest one-volume textbook on modern business ever writ ten. For two centuries a sentence lay burled in the pages of that great busi ness manual. We passed it by as mere ly a bit of rhetoric. It reads tlius: “And whosoever will lie chief among you, let him he your servant.” A very pretty sentiment, men thought, but wholly impractical in a hard, practical world. Impractical? Turn over the pages of any national magazine today and what do you find? Every simple advertisement, almost, is written about that thought. We have all come at last to under stand tiiat-nothing hut honesty pays. To endure, an Institution must rest upon the solid foundation of justice to customer and employee alike; of serv ice and of vision that can 1 00 k beyond tills year’s material rewards. —Bruce Barton In Printers’ Ink. Origin of Rugby Football. The game originated at one of the famous public schools of England, Rugby school in Warwickshire. Foot ball In some form or other has been played for centuries in these famous schools, but the rules governing the game were more fully developed at Rugby school than elsewhere. The original game is well described in “Tom Brown’s Schooldays.” The in troduction of the carrying feature into the game, one that distinguishes St most front Association football, is cele brated at Rugby school by a memorial tablet to W. W. Eilis, a schoolboy there In 1823. PEARSON TRIBUNE, PEARSON, GEORGIA, JANUARY 7, 1921 @ 11 / I ..." 9 @3T T T f l J 1 I i I V , . \ Emblem ofSahft, ion S X- S fl %.
