;■ Through the cloud* of Frank Morri
son's d<‘*i>air broke a shaft of Hiiullght
lu the form of an Idea.
Frank ua^ not the first person to
have the fcatoe idea. He knew It was
not original He luid heard of Its hoing
worked out aiiccessfully many times,
but until now not once had he thought
of applying It in his own behalf.
•Jane Ellison had turned him down.
After three years of pursuing her
heart, with tacit consent luring him on,
he was wrecked on the rocky shores
of the sea of unrequited love.
But Frank could not give her up.
Tliere was no other girl in the world
like her. Black hair and deep brown
eyes, perfect complexion of white,
Jane was more like a picture than a
mere woman. Frank «ould never care
for anybody but a brunette, be knew,
or for any brpneiU* hut .lane. He was
«»ne himself, klthongh there was color
In his cheeks, while It was absent In
June's. Yes, he must marry Jane or
life would not he worth living.
The blf Idea »n» this: He w^mld
rail on Jane'ii *Uier. Irene, whif al

••Jane bsi'* thrown me down,” he
-*i
Jane when he called ea Irene, but
trldaucad aa more emotion than If dnr
aerer had met hla In any closer re
latlooshlp.
Frank took Irene to dsnees. and lie-
fore long he could see that Jaoe was
becoming Interesteil. She never spoke
about It, but on one occasion she
flounced out of the room with a dark
scowl on her counfemmee when he
called to take her sister for a motor
ride,
“She's displaying anger/’ he told
Irene when they were skimming over
a country road. “That gives me some
hope/’
“Don’t be too hopeful, she -hasn’t a
heart.”
The warning was well founded, for,
allhough Jane assumed, a haughty'at
titude that showed she was displeased
by Frank’s attentions to her sister,
she never made any advances. Cnder 1
the circumstances, If Jane still cared
for Frank, It seemed that some hint
that he was welcome once more as a |
suitor would not have been out of
place.
Jane was now seen frequently with
a man considerably older than herself j
and ttie possessor of a comfortable
amount of worldly wealth. Frank was (
doing well himself ns head of a hard-1
ware tirm; hut he could not consider
himself pnf the highway to rlctfrs.
For two months the plotters kept
up their pretense, and there were no
signs of miceess In sight. Jane, In
fact, seemed Infatuated with her new
knight.
“Better give It up.” Irene told i
Frank one night a* they sat on the '
rustic seat beside the river. “You’re j
wasting your time.”
“And yours.” said Frank. “It’s a
shame the way I’ve been taking all:
jotir time No other fellow has a
look In.” • **
“That** all right/’ she protested. “I
don’t care atxrtif that.”
■|.«i's try It a -little longer, then.”
fAGUE ABOUT “REO- LEADERS
but Yawng ■•Ishsvtat ftoidiar Had
Hsard of Tratikjr. and Inci
dentally of Lonlno.
I have Just had a talk with a Bol
shevlat soldier, captured by the Poles
when lie was participating In a bold
scouting enterprise. He Is a young
man twenty-one years old, coming
from one;of the Interior departments
of Russia. He Is Illiterate aud a con-
tinned Bolshevik.
Discipline, he said, was very good
In the Bolshevist army; still they did
not obey orders because they were or.
ders, but “as a matter of conscience/'
The military forms of address had
been abollsned and even the officers
were spoken to as comrades. Natural
ly the soldiers stand at attention be
fore their officers; but that was be
cause every soldier In the army fol
lows the bidding of bis conscience and
“it would be foolish” not to stand at
attention before one’s commander.
He had never seen a general or any
of the higher officers, but he knew the
commander In chief was called Trots
ky, and that there was another head
man. He pondered a moment trying
to recall who the second one was, aud
then suddenly remembered, “Lenfcie.’’
He knew- nothing more about him. and
did not know the names of any other
T ^
commander.-
He kept saying “Everyone on our
side Is a Bolshevik,” ami seemed to be
Impressed with the great power and
authority of. the Bolshevlkl. When
ask<Ml who Troir.ky was he replied. “A
very popular Jew.” “The Jewa are
much llted In the army. They never
allow themselves to t-e captured. They
hate the Poles so. and tlie Poles hate
them so—and luvariably tiiiir«ler them
—that they prefer suicide to being
made prlaonej-*.”— From the \«H*aiache

With their wooden covers these beds
were constructed for shelter, and the

Pnctnr Johnson’s dictum Hint “births

rather like a wide shot in the pres
ence of a row of figures,.fust published
by the Cambridge University Press.
These figures occur in the report of a
paper read by Mr. O. Udny \ tde, M.
A., nt the university, and they show
that in England and Wales the annual
birth rate per thousand lias been
halved in the Inst 40 years. In the
light of this comparison the present
baby boom in London leaves us still
far behind our grandfathers in the
art of stretching the population. In

The Company has no money with which to
construct ibeae facilities
All new construction must be paid tor out
of the capital accountY)f the Company; all of
the Company's present capital is invested
in the Company*? business.
This money can be had in only one way;
It must be invested in the Company s busi
ness.
This money can be had from only one
source; from thfc investing public, people
who have surplus money to invest.
Part of the investing public of this coun
try five in South Carolina. 4
These facilities are needed to Serve the
people of South Carolina.
Will the investing public of South Caro
lina furnish,this money?
Every dollar the public of South Carolina
will iAvest in the Company wilE be used to
consWict plant facilities in the state of
South Carolina for the use of the people of
South Carolina.
If the investing public liviw.g in South
Cafcttna will not invest their surplus money
In the Company's business, the Company
must get the money needed to serve you
from the investing public in other states;
from strangers.
Can you expect strangers to invest their
money in a business located in South Caro-

If the people of South Carolina will not
supply the money needed to serve them-
i*elveB they must induce strangers to furnish
It.
This can be done bj^Upwing the stranger
to earn a fair and Just profit upon his money
now invested in Sou’h Carolina, serving you,
and upon all additional money required to
furnish you service.
This can be done in but one way; by pay
ing fair and Just rates.
When the Company Is legally authorized
to charge a rate which will yield a fair and
Just profit, over and above the cost of fur
niahing you service in the state of South
Carolina, it can secure from strangers liv
ing in other states the money needed to fur
nish service to the state of South Carolina.
The ^Company must have this right before
It can get the money.
The people of South Carolina must act
first.
To have telephone service you must either
invest your own money In the Company’*
business, or permit the Company to earn
such a profit upon its present and future in
vestment- as will induce strangers to invest
their monev in the state of South Carolina,
to serve you.- >
