A WONDERFUL POWER. Curious Manifestations of a Georg'a Gill. Z Reporter's Account of Her Perform Performances. - ances. Performances. Several Georgia papers having recently published accounts of the alb-gal strange P< overs [kiss ssed by Miss Lula Hurst, a girl living with her parents near Cedartown, Ga., the Atlanta Constitution sent one of its staff to investigate the matter. The Constitution representative saw the young lady at her home, and sent to his pa;er the following ex extraordinary - traordinary extraordinary account of his visit: Lula Hurst is one of the most singular singularlooking - looking singularlooking gji ls I ever She has the strangest look in her dark brown eyes that ] ever encountered. It needed no reco le lion of her mysterious p. >wer to completely awe me whenever those untathomable orbs threw their weird fires into mine. In fact, I think I lost five pounds of flesh every time I caught that girl looking at me The neighbors had told me she was an un unsophi-te - sophi-te unsophi-te ated country girl. 1 couldn't se<? it. Away aroun 1 in the corners of her eves I could see lurking just the strangest expres expression - sion expression I ever saw. IL r father told me she always took delight in mvstifying folks. My opinion is that her father doesn t understand her any more than the alleged scientists understand the rose rosetinted - tinted rosetinted sunsets at West End. Freeman, of the Cedartown Advertiser and I under, of the Rome Courier, have both staked their sacred honor on Lulu Hurst's I eauty. It takes a rather gallant manto make up such a verdict. She is fifteen vears old. tmu udly large for her ape, and her wrist s are as big as those of a good-sized man. Instead of a handsome and willowy figure I found that she was inclined to be somewhat round shouldered, and her frame seemed to be remarkable more for its weli-developedmus weli-developedmuscl - cl weli-developedmuscl -s t han for any statue-like beauties. In - I, of de'icately-ehiseled features and n sun .ike alal ader. as the enthusiastic one had told me she jos-essed, I found high cherk bones and a face with a considerable amount color in it. Her nut-brown hair, stiff and II n illy, hung loosely from her head, its wild f edorn checked only by a blue ribbon bow fastened in some wav on the top of her hea l Her hair reached slightly below her shou'- d is, and heightened the awe-inspiring effe t o her eves and high cheek bones. She dressed p.amly to a I- markable degree-and, m Iced, she seems to be regardless of herper herperso:-al - so:-al herperso:-al appearance. She is five feet three inches in height. This is what Miss Lula told me about the beginning of the mystery: night about two months ago I was Sleeping with my mother in my room.

It was indeed a-ton ishing, especially in view of th - fact that no a muscle twi he 1 an<i the sl.ghest flush did not mantle her cheeks. She was as calm anc unconcerned as if she had been twirling t summer hat by a string. "Does it not tire you:'' I asked. "Not at all,' she replied. " Do you feel any peculiar sensations?" "None whatever." " Doesn't it strain you?" " Indeed, if this were a cane-bottom chair you would n it see the slightest strain on th< delicate canes." What do you think about it?"
