"Though she was unfamiliar with theatrical work.** she frankly confesses!, -she knew that she could portray his character of 'Normand' faithfully." Her request for a personal interview and trial had been tgnored. The second letter which came from the aspirant was decidedly humbler she would be glad if ua few speaking tinea." The next appeal was for an Interview only, and the last, which claimed Allan Barrls* amused attention, was for office work of any kind which he could give her. She had suffered "atrange misfortune," she wrote, and her need was great" The appeal touched him. not so much by its pathos as by its cheerful persistence. He wrote the girl, asking her to call upon the following day, and he had almost forgotteu his indulgence when she was announced. In his mind. Harris pictured his frank applicant as a glowing creature garbed in popularly approved fashion. Instead. It was a small gray-clad flg are which awaited diffidently his invltation from the doorway. The tray dress was softly clinging;, with a quaint kerchief about her shoulders, and It i was the girl's shy, glancing purple eyes ! which first impressed him. She had spoken advisedly, she was | "unusually good looking"?"unusual" : was the word. "Can you do stenography and type1 writing?" he asked. The girl sadly shook her head. "If you could give me other thlnga I at first. I would learn that later," she | spoke in a sort of soft eagerness. "Heretofore, I had no opportunity of learning. My life was?all ease." She caught her breath tremulously and ! threw out her hands in a hopeless , gesture. The wistful eyes were misty I with tears. I "Everything changed for me In one [ moment. That was the strange, hard part of It." * i) J Quickly she brushed the tears frfta her eyes and leaned toward Barrial ' "Can you believe me," she asked, I "that I have now between me abd i starvation Just twenty-five cents?" At his astonished stare, she smlMd i suddenly, very bravely, Barris thought .

"Tou might begin." he suggested, "by answering that Irritating telephone; use your Judgment as to whether response upon my part Is Imperative, or may be postponed. I'm maddeningly i busy." The girl, her hat swiftly removed. ; was already at th^telephone. Barris noted.approvingly the soft ar; rangement of her hair, In keeping some ?"HO ilio trim ?n? fmclr and Mt lions eyes.

Ban-Is abruptly dismissed his stenographer and turned to answer the girl's silent appeal. Her eyes, as he looked down upon her, were darkly tragic. *1 must go," she said, breathlessly. "I must leave you; and. oh. I did so i want to stay?my first chance?and the crying need for money?" Her voice i broke In its despair. Again Rarris was moved, deeply; the secret, the mystery of her unwillingly gripped him. "Explain yourself," he said tersely. "Are you. after all. an impostor, or an Innocent mistakenly enduring some trouble?" He was surprised at.his owfi emotions. "I ask, because I honestly wish to help you." he added gently. The little gray figure came close. The girl held out imploring hands. Into the purple eyes came a laughing gleam of triumph. "Thanks," ah* s*id. "Your own belief la my acting is the surest proof of its success. I told you that, I could do it. For the past hour I have been your 'Normand,' and you have forgotten her in me." And so it happened that Alien Barris realised his dream, presenting a new r.r.1 truly great actress In one of bis original plays. 9 * -?-* " A. * BIRTH AND DEATHS I White Infanta in 1919 exceed 1918 Crop By 284 During the first six months of 1919, : the total number of births of white | infants in South Carolina was 9.670. !The number of births of white in-; rants for the first six months of 1918 ! was 9,386, which shows that the j number of white births for 1919 wa3: j 284 more than for the ame period ' (of time in 1918.

Comparative death rates for in-! fants of the two races for the first six months of 1913 and for 1919 show a decrease while the negro race showed an increase. In 1918 the death rate for white infants under one year of age was 94.7 per 1,000 births. In 1919, the rate was 88.4 per 1,000 birtha o Negro Lynched at Omaha Omaha, Neb., Sept 28.?

Smith was himself saved from lynching by a policeman, who it was reported cut a ropa from about the mayor's neck while his comrades clubbed off the mob. At midnight it was said that the mayor was unconscious in a hospitaL The riot centered about the new Douglas county court House, valued at a million and a half dollars, which was set on fire in the efforts to reach William Brown, a negro, charged with attacking a young white girl a few days ago. With tj^ie flames mounting steadily from floor to floor. Sheriff Mike Clark and his deputies fought a grim battle of hours to save Brown from those who clamored for his life, but at 11 o'clock, with the cries of the 100 or more prisoners on the top floor?the jail floor?ringing in his ears, he was compelled to surrender the prisoner, who was hustled to an electric light pole and hanged. ? o U'nen tw,i business nartnei s have learned how to handle each other they don't have much trouble handling their customers. o Be good natured until abour tan in the morning and the re?j5 of the day will take care of itself. ft Firestone, TI Are three o riffckmA Kir < Ull^lVU U J C all guarante and are mac us when in i 1 Have Your We can m; Vulcanizing th< ing machine, tires we are fi> knf TITO /ton COi litai YTC tau aai C&KVi CRAWFO Next 1 ;' ===== -I.; . / || On Tire Life? |1 R3 For motorists who seek the ft* maximum in a tire, records only .ft* g3 are sufficient proof of worth. ft* I we are willing xo rise or iau on KTiJL your records and comparisons of Ejj The Brunswick with any other.
