ever had in old times; but in his an-

on the estate if he could possibly
avoid doing so in reaching the scene
of the night's contretemps. He found
without difficulty the trail taken by
Habersham’s men, and in due course

At a meeting of the committee ap-
pointed by the stockholders of th*
John B. Denton college held Tues-
day atfernoon the following report,
was made:
“A. E. Graham, Chairman of com
mittee:
"Your committee appointed by the
meeting of which you were chair-
man, composed of the stockholder
of the John B. eDnton college and
oSuthwestern Christian college, met
and after the consideration of th<
subject mutter of selling the college
property’ on the 24 th of February,
make report that in the judgment of
the committee .the property can n t
be legally sold on the said date. And
it is also doubtful whether good am'
legal title can be made to the sa<J
property under present condtlonr.
We therefore recommend that as
chairman you call another meeting
of the parties interested to take sucn
further action as may seem best t>
all parties concerned.
“J. P. BLOUNT, Chairman of Com-
mittee.”
All of the stockholders seen,
when called upon for an expression
by a reporter, replied that they had
nothing to say. The committee will
meet again at a later date and nt
that time if the title to he property
is found to be all right, will prob-
ably arrange a date for the sale of
it But until the question of title
is definitely settled nohfng furthei
will be done.

A CORRECTION.
The statement made in Tuesdav r
paper that Prof. A. G. Pfaff, a for-
mer resident of this city, had se-
cured an appointment in the Wes’
Texas normal seems to have been an
error. In the list ,of appointments
showing eht record of the various
teachers was included a statement
that Miss Nancy Fritz had studied
under Prof. Pfaff. This seems to
have been the cause of the error.

might have been some small consola-
tion to Griswold had he known that
Appleweight’s friends and accom-
plices were as much at a loss to know
what had become of the chieftain as
the men who had tried so ineffectual-
ly to kidnap him. From the appear-
ance of the trampled grass many men
had taken a hand in releasing the
prisoner, and this impression did not
clarify matters for Griswold.
"Where does this path lead?” asked
Barbara. ;
"This is Ardsley land here, this side
of the church, and that trail leads on,
if I remember, to the main Ardsley
highway, with which various other
roads are connected—many miles In
all. It’s inconceivable that the de-
liverers of this outlaw should have
taken him Into the estate, where a
sort of police system is maintained
by the forestry corps. I don’t at all
make it out."
He went off to explore the heavy
woods on each side of the trail that
led into Ardsley, but without result.
When he came gloomily back he found
that in his absence Barbara had fol-
lowed the bridle-path for a consider-
able distance, and she held out to him
a diminutive pocket handkerchief,

CHAPTER VHI.—Ardmore. In the name
inference is strong that if there
was no crookedness, it was simply
due to natural honesty and that
the crude system of bookkeeping
tolerated gave plenty of opportunity
for knavery. One glaring instance
as shown by the report is the enor-
mous cost of the state railroad
which begins and ends nowhere,
from a traffic stndpolnt, the tbir
ty-four miles having cost 3538,000
and being of an estimated value of
less than 38.000 a mile. This
is the railroad to which the state
loaned 3150,000 of the school fuud
money, extending from Rask to
Palestine. Thera have been so few
bright j>oints in the entire Texas
penitentiary investigation that they
can almost be regarded as non-exiit-
ent. It has been a constant repeti-
tion of carelessness, incompetence
and in many cases brutality. Georg*
Waverly Briggs, “that d—d yaller
journalist,” certainly did start some-
thing when he began the article**
that resulted in the investigatloj.
And what he started will be the
means of rectifying many of th 4
wrongs and much of the carelessnos**
and incompetence with which (he
penitentiary system was overrid-
den.
A deer feeding on
a grassy slope raised its head and
stared at them, and a fox scampered
It seemed that
I they were shut in from all the world,
these two, who but a few days before
bad never seen each other, and it was
a relief to him to find that she threw I
off her troubles and became more ani-
mated and cheerful than be had yet
seen her.
They reached the highroad much
Sooner than Griswold haff expectefl,
and he checked his horse abruptly, re-
membering that he was persona non
, grata on this soil.
"We must go back; I mustn't be
seen here. The workmen are scat-
tered all about the place, and they all
know me.”
>*Oh. just a little farther? I want
to see the towers of the castle!”
If she had asked him to jump into
the sea he would not have hesitated;
and he was so happy at being with
her that his heart sang defiance to
Ardmore and the splendors of Ards-
ley.
They were riding now toward the
red bungalow, where he had often
sprawled on the broad benches and
chaffed with Ardmore for hours at •
At a meeting of the school board
Tuesday night, at which the water
commission was present, arrange-
ments were made to dispose of tire
waste water from the dr.nking foun-
tain at the Robert E. Lee school
building. The water from the drink-
ing fountain at this building has
been permitted to run into the
ditches along the streets and has
complain’.
Those living along the streets over
which the waste water ran will be
glad to learn that this
done.
"And I should say, from a certain
crispness it still retains, that it hasn't
been in the forest long. It hasn’t
been rained on, at any rate,” added
Griswold.
“But even the handkerchief doesn't
tell us anything," said Barbara,
spreading it out, "except that some
woman visitor has ridden here within
a few days and played drop the hand-
kerchief with herself or somebody
else to us unknown."
“She may have been a scarlet fever
patient from Ardsley; you'd better
have a care!” And Griswold's tone
was bitter.
"I'm not afraid; and aa I have never
been so near Ardsley before, I should
like to ride in and steal a glimpse. |
There's little danger of meeting the
lord of the manor, I suppose, or any
of tils guests at this hour, and we
need not go near the bouse ”
He saw that she was really curious,
and it was not in his heart to refuse
her, so they followed the bridle-path i
through the cool forest, and came in UkeS.” declared
to the clearing where Jer- f

the Bridle paths very well. They all

Sobered by the thought of bls breach
with Ardmore, he resolved not to na—
the bungalow whose red roof was now
in sight.
'It's like a fairy place, and I feel
that there can be no end to It.” Bar-
bara was saying. “But it isn't kind to
urge you in. We certainly are doles
nothing to. find Applewelght. and it
must be nearly noon.”
It was just then—he vividly recall*
the moment—aa Griswold felt in his
wafftcoat for his watch—that Mias
Jerry Dangerfield, with Thomas Ard-
more at her side, galloped into view.
They were racing /madly, like Irre-
sponsible children, and bore boister-
ously down upon the two pilgrims.
Jerry and Ardmore, hatlees and
warm, were pardonably Indignant at
thus being arrested tn their flight, and
the master of Ardsley, feeling for once
the dignity of hts proprietoseyp,'
broke out stormlly •
“1 would have you know—I would
have you know—” he roared, and then
his voice failed him. He stared, he
spluttered; he busied himself with Ms
horse, which was dancing tn eager-
ness to resume the race Hr <mfr»te*w>*'
the beast, which nevertheless arched
and pawed Like a war-horse, and then
the master of Ardsley bawled:
"Grissy; I say, Grtssy?"
Miss Osborne and Prof. Grtswold,
on their drooping Mingo county non-
descripts, made a tame picture before
Ardmore and his fair companion «m
their Ardsley hunters. The daughter
of the governor of South Carolina
looked upon the daughter of the gov
ernor of North Carolina with high dis-
dain. and It need hardly be s.tid that
this feeling, as expressed by glacis)
glances, was evenly reciprocal, and
that In the contemptuous upward tilt
of two charming chins the nicest judg-
