"Next station’s Pennelton, ma’am.”
Marion Caruthers looked up, nodded
to the porter, quickly stuffed the niag-
ailhe she was reading into her grip
and put on her coat and hat. A mo
ment later she was standing on the
platform watching the train pull out.
As she glanced arountl she felt like
running after thie disappearing cava
and begging them not to leave her
behind. It “seemed as If she had sev
ered the last connection with her past,
her girlhood life; but in a hash her
spirits were up again and she turned
quickly as someone touched her oq the
arm.
“Miss Caruthers?” said a pleasant
voice, njid Marion saw before her a
middle-aged man with bared head.
“Yes, I’m she,” she smiled back at
him.
“I’m Thompson, the principal of the
school where you’re going to teach.”
“How nice of you to meet me,” she
said. “I’m awfully glad you're the
principal because I know I’ll like you.”
“You’re very young, Miss Caruth
ers,” he mused glancing up and down
the trim little figure before him.
“Yes, this is .my first school,” she
admitted. ——-
“Anti fp come so far.”
“It is a long way, but I’ve always
wanted to see the South, so I took my
first chance.”
“I ho|H» you’ll like it; we do. We’ll
Just get home in time for dinner,” he
continued. .
"Dinner!” she gasped. "Why, up
home we always have dinner at six
o’clock.”
Professor Thompson looked a shade
uncomfortable for a second, but lie
managed to say lightly:
“We’re Just ordinary folks down
here. (lues* you ll have to make al
lowances.”
Mrs. Thompson met Marion at the
door and gave her a warm welcome.
“So glad to see you. dear. Are you
very tired? How do you like our Couu-

Icomr caller at thi’
day last week.

Mr. Charlie Diamond called at Thhe
People office Tuesday morning to re
new his subscription.
Mesdames Charlie Brown, Sr., K.
A. Brown and J. Julian Rush spent
Tuesday in Augusta shopping-
B
la Pennelton who did and bo was John
Hamilton, the Latin professor.
Fall slipped Into, w inter and the stu
dents at Pennelton county high pegged
away. Marlon , had enjoyed tho
Thanksgiving holiday Immensely. Pro
fessor Hamilton's mother had Invited
her over for Thanksgiving dinner,
after which they had gone on a straw
^ride and had supper nt a distant ind.
It was a ^olly crowd. Then there were
two dances and Marlon had made a
decided hit each night. Still she did
not feel that she was one of them.
There was always a t slight coolness
about these people that was apt to
freeze suddenly right in the middle of
a conversation, and without a mo-
ment’s notice. Southern people were
nice, but queer—so queer. No doubt
aliout thafT
And now spring had come again
and soon Marion would be going back
home, and for some peculiar reason
she was not sure that she was glad.
She had made a success of her teach
ing and Professor Thompson had been
unstinted in ids praise of her work.
The parent-teachers decided to give
a parting banquet in honor of them
selves and to commemorate a most
successful year’s work. Marion put on
her best evening dress and looked her
stunuingest as she sot beside Profes
sor Thompson at the long table.
Mrs. gurton rose and began to make
a speech.
“This banquet.” she said, “is In
honor of Miss.Caruthers. Everything
on the table has been prepared by a
northern woman we coaxed over from
Delton and the recipes all came out of
a northern cook book. We wanted just
once to do something down south as
they do it up north, and—”
"Oh, forgive me,” interrupted Mar
ion. jumping up. “1 see it all now,
but 1 never realized how tactless it
was. That's what’s l>een the matter.
What a little beast I've been! Would
it help to make amends now if I tell
you 1 love the South and the people
and the cooking and everything, and
■ I did so want them to love me. If you
ever hear roe >ay up north again 1
hope you'll run me out of the county.
That's what -f deserve, anyway,"
Flushed and breathless, she dropped
into her chair again.
"Yes. Pro Certain Miss Caruthera
feels every word she's said about lik
ing the South and all that." said Pro
fessor Hamilton, rising, "l►ecuuse she—
•he’a going to marry a down-souther—
she’s going to mary me!"
"Jack, you—I never—"
Rut the rest wn« lost In a round of
applause and the banquet table waa
almost u|»set as th*' crowd rushed for-
wart! to congratulate the happy roupte.
while Professor Hamilton congratu
lated himself on his brilliant coup
d>tat.

When Mr*. Thompson «-nme hack
down stairs she and her husband had
a hurried word In the hall.
"Isn't she attractive!" said Mr*.
Thompson. "What lovely eyes and
su<*h a quick, infectious smile.”
"Yes. but I’m afraid she’s too young
to inaunge children in a country high
school. Had absolutely no experi
ence.'*
Their comments were cut short by
the entrance of Marion and they all
hurried into the dining room.
"Biscuits?” said- Marian quizzically
at the dinner table. "Up north we
have bread—bake Wednesdays and
Saturdays."
™T*m sorry we have none,” said the
professor quietly.
"And you serve string beans with
pork,” Marion went on in amazement.
"I never saw that before.”
By the time the meal was over Mrs.
Thompshn felt that somehow her well-
cooked dinner had fallen short of the
mark. It was very disappointing—She
had worked so hard. ' 2
The following day school began and
Marion wg$ busy ail the rest of the
week getting things organized in her
classroom.
"You know,” she said to Profassor

Thompson that Friday afternoon as
they left the building together, "most
of the boys and girls I have are old
enough to be in the graduation class
Instead of second year. Up north they
would be.”.
‘'Perhaps so,” he answered patiently.
Marion shook her head in discour
agement There were many things she
could not quite understand and many
more that she-could not make them
understand. They were nice people
and intelligent, but so different

It was a chestnut tree that the wind
had overturned against a wall. The
roots penetrated anew Into the soil
and became firmly fixed there. The
sun righted the tree little by little. It
was possible to note, year after year,
the progress of the raising, due solely
to The attractive force of the solar
ray*. It may lie remarked that it lias
always been noticed that plants and
trees seek the light—not only the sun
but any place of maximum light.
This Is n general phenomenon that
may be seen in any forest, but sylvl-
cnlturlsts attribute it only very indi
rectly to an attractive force emanating
from The sun. They think that the tis
sues develop less rapidly in tile side of
the light than in the shadow, where
there is greater rooisture-=4>ejice a cur

The Famous Buick Valve-in-Head
Motor Powers
the Buick “Four”
*The powerful Buick valve-in-head
motor has been an outstanding
Buick feature for 20 years. Its un
failing dependability, stamina and
certainty of performance have
justly earned for it the unstinted
admiration of the entire motor
ing public.
The Buick “Four" is equipped
with the reliable Buick valve-in
head motor. This is merely another
* indication of the fact that the
Buick “Four”, maintains Buick
standards of quality throughout
every element of its construction.
It is Buick through and through.

Three Venetians.
There are three Venetians who are
never separated in my mind—Titian,
Veronese and Tinforet. They all have
their own unequaled gifts, and Tinto-
ret, especially, has imagination and
depth whieh I think renders him in-
dUputably the greatest man; but,
equally Indisputable, -Titian is the
greatest painter, and ■ therefore the
greatest painter who ever lived. You
may be led wrong by Tintoret In many
respects, wrong by Raphael in more,,
all that you learn from Titian will be
right. Tlien, with Titian take Leo
nardo, Rembrandt, and Albert Durer.
1 name* those three masters for this
reason: Leonardo hs* power* of sub
tle drawing which are peculiarly ap
plicable hi many ways to the drawing
of Bne ornament, and are very oasfal
