NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. DECEMBER 8. 1919.NUMBER 21 INCREDIBLE CRUELTY. Soldiers Proze as Workmen Gambled*— 5tartling Disclosures of Graft at Camp Sheridan. Charges that wilful negligence on the part of steam fitters employed in the construction of the base hospital at Camp Sheridan result ed in exposure for weeks to theze i'o weather prevalent in late Ooto ber and all of November 1917, of sick soldiers confined there, were amoug the startling disclosures made before the Congressional sub committee by Joseph Poole, Chilcothe contractor. The evidence given by Poole wile be followed up to fix the re sponsibility for the snffering of the men, according to Chairman John C. McKenzie and Chief Examiner Boscoe C. McCulloeb, of the Com mittee. While sick soldiers were pinch ed and actually blue to their fin ger tips with the bitter cold, steam fitters supposedly equip ping the hospital wards with steam heat were gambling and warming themselveB over their gasotine torches, Poole told the committee. He asserted that the weather was so cold that the nurses wore their furs when they tended the sick and the doctors wore ther sheepskin lined coats and the patients had no heatwhat soever. Poole, who was employed by the A. Bently and Sons Company, of Toledo, as a carpenter foreman at the base hospital characterized the attitude of the steam fitters as “ dis loyal” and aa the ■‘worse7’ he had ever seen. Games of chance were . worked among the men, the witness de clared. Two or three days of ev ery week somebody would come around and have the men bny chances on automobiles, wrist watches- and other things, he said. “That was a graft worked by somebody,” he declared. Other witnesses corroborated Poole’s testimony as to the idling of the men and the wastage of ma terial and genorally agreed that the work could have been done more satisfactorily and in quicker time by from two-tbirds to one half rhe number of men on a given job. Taylor Thornburg, Chilli cothe laborer, told his gang to “ hide in the corn-field,” and that from IS to 20 of them spent from a week to 10 days in the corn. He said he drew pay from the Y. M. C. A. and from the government for the same work and that he didn’t dare say anything about ft ‘“be cause they wern’t allowed to.” “ You might as well have some of the extra tirie the other men are getting,” was the statement Jesse Brndon testified a foreman made to him. On the.following pay day he said bis pay envelope contained $13 eztra. When he spoke of it .to the paymaster he de clared the latter told him he couldn’t count:” On. another occasion, he said, there was $6 extra in his pay. He said he was hired to watch grav el wagons, and that as a rule not more than three wagons appeared where where he was on a given day and sometimes, he said, there was only one For this, he said, he was paid $51.40 weekly. When the men couldn’t get any thing else to do, they chisled out pieces from the floor so that they would have to cut and fit hew pieces, was the assertion' made by Tt. D. Fergusan, Chillicothe car-, penter. ■ He told of yb-jpan fjWnd . ing three days at the pay window to collect 30 cents he was shoit in his pay, all the while drawing bis regular pay of 60 cents'an hohr.aS a carpenter. Other witnesses. re lated how men hired as carpenters were utilized to carry water?*!*: * That a collection was made/1 to buy a mantelpiece for -Majw&en. TS, F Glenn’s Chiliocd&c vJaomej TbeTime to Save We haven’t iibed very long but we have been talking to some men who have and they are of the un- dividen opinion that this country is in a fix and is riding to one of the worst falls in the history of the human race. They do not expect the fall to be put off much louger, either. Therd is onlg one place in this country where there is any work being, and that is out in the coun try. Ali last week we were in the country and we always took oeca Bion to ask the farmers if they ex pected to attend the fair. Most of them expected to visit; but many of them said hesitating ly, “ I don’t know—you see I am so busy right now.” . They don’t know it, but they are the only working men who" are busy to amount to anything. No city man would think of working longer 'tban his eight hours with out overtime and at wages about normal. The ignorant are not put ting in foil time, either, and all this in the full face of the fact that the world is crying for pro duction, We are thoroughly disgusted with' that word “ more” produc tion. The farmers are too busy to attend a fair, and the men who mdke their machinery are oh a na- tionrl strike for less hours and more pay.. Failing thus far, the striking steel men are on the verge of tearing down the factories. Al ready they have stoned the men who desire to work in their places. Why don’t some of the politcal spell-bihders get after the artisans and let the farmers alone for a nay or two.'—Charlotte R e v ie w .' Chamberlain’s Tablets.

Taxes on tobacco are not collected by Mr. MartiD, bnt are paid by the manufacturers. Including ev ery form oi Bpecial taxes, Union county is probably paying in ex cess of $2000 a month to helppay for the war. Special taxes on clothing aud wearing apparel also amount to a neat Bum.

Democratic campaign managers all through the Southern States have received instructions to ab andon the league ol nations as a campaign issue in the political fight next year. How are they gonna get away from it? The Re publicans will hammer away on it as they did in the SeYenth Ala bama District, where the Demo cratic majority for a Representa tive to succeed Burnett was cut down from a normal 3,000 or 4,000 to 400, and in the Eighth Ken. tucky District, heretofore Demo cratic, where a Republican, King Swope, was elected by I 1SOO. Whether it was the intention to make the league a political issue or not the fact remains that it is one and no party can escape it.— 1S?- Should Be Quarantined.

For months past there has been standing idle at Nuscle Shoals, A l abama, a sixty-thousaud kilowat power plant complete in every re, spec! and representing the best practice that skilled engineers could lay down. This... install ation forms part of the great ni trate plant that was to turn out nitrates by the con for our vast ex plosive program, and was describ ed in our March ‘25th issue. The armistice, came before tbe plant got into production, al hough ‘this construction'was carried to% *completion, the big turbo generat or turned over and then after a short time the operating crew\ de parted and watchmen were placed in charge. This plant was designed for the production of nitrates by the cyua- midjprocess, and it is claimed that with slight additional expenditure it coul:l be converted for the pro duction of fertilizer tor which tbe farmer is now required to pay such exorbitant prices. This is aside from the enormous idle in. vestmdnt represented. Who ii responsible? I 3 it the war depcrtment or is it Congress, or, perchance, just government.in ertia? Iu has been said that the government has not the talent to operate the-plant and is unwilling to turn it- over al the figure offered by tbe company that would have operated it ban the war continued. Id any event, to have- this costly equipment idle is a large and ueedless economic waste. Splendid Cough Medicine.

We only lived two squares from town, yet I wasn’t able to walk the two squares. I had to ride everywhere I went and suffered at that, but not so much as when I tried to walk. Standing on m y feet was torture. My greatest suffering was in Jpy right side. It was so sore and I felt if I stepped down or jarred myself the least bit I could not stand it,— so just walked mostly tiptoe. This kept up until I was just about dis couraged and decided I had best try something else. Someone told me of Cardui, and where it had benefited cases similar to mine. I felt at least it would not hurt to give it a trial. x A fter my first bottle I felt better— there was less pain and soreness in my side.

The “still small voice” of conscience, which Shakespeare tells us “does make cowards of us all,” has caused penitent persons throughout the United States to turn into Uncle Sam’s “con science fund” the sum of nearly half a million dollars since 1811, when the first contribution was received. The transgressions of these contributors cover a wide range of law breaking. There is also a great variety In the amounts of the sums contributed, ranging from two cents to cover the cost of a postage stamp filcher from the government to more than $18,600 stolen by evading custom duties. Host of the persons who send money to this fund try to keep their identity a secret, according to a writer In the New York Sun. Some of them disguise their handwriting or purposely mis spell words. All these precautions are unnecessary, however, since the treas ury officials hold all such communica tions confidential; in fact, in this case and this alone, wrongdoers may con fess and make restitution without fear of prosecution.

She flung her arms [flbout his neck in passionate sym- athy, telling him that she knew what had happened to him ; and presently he began to comfort her and managed [an embarrassed laugli. “Well, well—’’ he said. “I was” too hid for such foolishness to be getting [Into my head, anyhow.” “No, no!” she sobbed. “And if you knew how I despise myself for—for ever having thought one instant about —oh, Miss Fanny called him the right name; that monkey! He is!” v “There, I think I agree with you,” Eugene said grimly, and in his eyes there was a steady light of anger that was to last. “Yes I think I agree withyou about that!” “There’s only one thing to do with such a person,” she said vehemently. “That’s to put him out of our' thoughts forever—forever!” And yet, the next day, a t six o'clock, which was the hour, Fanny had told er, when George and his mother were to leave upon their long journey, Lucy touched that scorched place on her ®*ntel with hor hand just as the little C of1 a^ove 14 struck. Then, after this -da, unconscious gwture, .she went to wlUflow and steed between the cut- 'aA toettng «*t late tb».cold No vember dusk; and in spite of every reasoning and reasonable power within her, a pain of loneliness struck through her h eart The dim street below her window, the dark -houses across the way, the vague air Itself—all looked empty, and. cold and (most of all) un interesting. Something more sombre than November dusk took the color from them and gave them that air of desertion. The light of her fire, flickering up behind her, showed suddenly a flying group of tiny snowflakes nearing the window-pane; and for an instant she felt the sensation of being dragged through a snow-drift under a broken Cutter, with a boy’s arms about her— an arrogant, handsome, too-conquering boy, who nevertheless did his best to get hurt himself, keeping her from any possible harm. She shook the picture out of her eyes indignantly, then came arid sat before her fire, and looked long and long at the blackened mantelpiece. She did not have the mantelpiece re painted—and, since she did not, might as well have kept his photo graphs. One forgets what made the scar upon his hand but not what made the scar upon his wall. .... New faces appeared at the dances of the w inter; new faces had been appearing everywhere, for that m atter, arid fam iliar ones were disap pearing, merged in the Increasing crowd, or gone forever and missed a little and not long; for the town-was growing and changing as it never had grown and changed before. It was heaving up in the middle in credibly; it was spreading incredibly; and as it heaved and spread, it be fouled itself and darkened its sky. You drove between pleasant fields and woodlaud groves one spring day; and In the autumn, passing over the same ground, you were warned off the tracks by an interurban trolley-car’s goug ing, and beheld, beyond cement side walks just dry, new house-owners busy “moving In.” Gasoline and electricity were performing the miracles Eugene had predicted. But the great change was In the citizenry itself. W hat was left of the patriotic old-stock generation that had fought the Civil war, and subsequently controlled politics,'had become vener able and was little heeded. W hat hap pened to Boston and to Broadway hap pened in degree to the Midland city; the old stock became less and less typ ical; and of the grown people who called the place home, less than a third had been born in it. A new spirit of citizenship had al ready sharply defined Itself. I t was idealistic, and its ideals were ex pressed In the new kind of young men in business downtown. They were op timists—optimists to the point of bel ligerence—their motto being “Boost! Don’t Knock P’ And they were hus tlers, believing in hustling and In hon esty because both paid. They loved their city and worked for it with a Plutonic energy which was always ar dently vocal. They were viciously gov erned, but they sometimes'-went so. far as to struggle for bet& r government on account of the helpful' effect of good government on the price of real estate and “betterm ent” generally; the politi cians could not go too far with them, and knew it. The idealists planned and strove and shouted that their city should become a better, better, and better city—and what they meant, when they used the word “better,” was “more prosperous,” arid. the core of their Idealism was this:- “The, more prosperous my beloved city, the more prosperous beloved I!” These were bad times for Amberson addition. This quarter, already old, lay within a mile of the center of the town, but business moved In other directions; and the Addition’s share of Prosperity was only the smoke and dirt, with the bank credit-left ont. The owners of the original big houses sold them, or rented them to boarding-house keepers, and the tenants of the multi tude of small houses moved .“farther out” (where the smoke was thinner) or into apartm ent houses, which were built by dozens now. Cheaper tenants took their places, and the rents were lower and . lower, and the houses shab bier and. shabbier—for all these shabby houses,, burning soft coal, did their best to help In the destruction of their own value. Distances had ceased to matter. The five new houses, built so closely where had been the fine lawn of the Amberson mansion, did not look new. When they were a year old they looked as old as they would ever look; and two of them were vacant, having never been rented, for the Major’s mistake about apartm ent houses had been a disastrous one. “He guessed wrong,” George Amberson said. “He guessed wrong at just the wrong tim e! People were crazy for apartm ents—too bad he couldn’t have seen it in time. Poor m an! he digs away a t his ledgers by his old gas drop-light lamp almost every night—he still refuses to let the Mnnsinn be tom up for wiring, you know. But he had own painful satis- WictiOB thU spring: ha got his taxes IowereA Amberson laughed ruefully, and Fan ny Minafer asked how the M ajor could have managed such an economy. They were sitting upon the veranda at Isa bel’s one evening during the third sum mer of the absence of their nephew and his mother ; and the conversation bad turned toward Amberson finances. “I said it was a ‘painful satisfaction,’ Fanny,” he ‘ explained. “The property has gone down in value, and they as sessed it lower than they did fifteen years ago.” “But farther out—” “OhtTfes, ‘farther out!’ Prices are magnificent 'farther out,* and farther In, too! We just happen to be the wrong spot, that's all.- Not that I don’t think something could be done if father would let the have a hand; but he won’t. He can’t, I suppose I ought to say. He’s ‘always done his own fig uring,’ he says; and it’s his lifelong habit'to keep his affairs, and even his books, to himself, and just hand us out the money. Heaven knows he’s done enough of that!” “There seem to be so many ways of making money nowadays,” Fannysaid thoughtfully. “Every day I hear o f a new fortune some person has got hold of, one way or another—nearly always it’s somebody you never have heard of. It doesn’t seem all to be in-just making motor cars: I hear there’s a L “The Property Has Gone Down In Value.” great' deal In m anufacturing these things that motor cars use—new inven tions particularly. I m et dear old Frank Bronson the other day, and he told me—” “Oh, yes, even dear old Frank’s got the fever,” Amberson laughed. “He’s as wild as any of them. He told me about this invention he’s gone into, too. ‘Millions in it!’ .Some new elec tric headlight better than . anything yet—‘every car In America can’t help but 'have ’em,’ and all that. He’s-put ting half he’s laid by into it, and the fact is he almost talked me into get ting father to ‘finance me’ enough for me to go into it. • Poor father! he’s financed me before! I suppose he would again if I had the heart to ask him. At any rate I ’ve been thinking it over.” “So have I,” Fanny admitted. “He seemed to be certain it- would pay twenty-five per cent the first year, and enormously more after th at; and I’m ijnly getting four on my little princi pal. People are making such enor mous fortunes out of everything to do with motorcars, it does seem as if—” She paused. “Well, I told him Td think it over seriously.” “We may turn out to be partners and millionaires then,” Amberson laughed. “I thought I’d ask Eugene’s advice.” “I wish you would,” said Fanny. “He probably knows exactly how much profit there would be in this.” Eugene’s advice was to “go slow:” he thought electric lights for automo biles were “coming—some day,” but probably not until certain difficulties could be overcome. Altogether he was discouraging, but by this time his two friends “had the fever” as thoroughly as old Frank Bronson himself had it; for they had been with Bronson to see the light working beautifully In a ma chine shop. “Perfect!” Fanny cried. “And if it worked in th e . shop it’s bound to work any place else, isn’t it?” . Eugene would' jaot agree it was “bound to”—yet, being pressed, was driven to admit that “it might,” and retiring from what was developing in to, a n . oratorical contest, repeated a warning about not "putting too much Into It.” George Amberson also laid stress on caution later, though_the M ajor had "financed him” again, and he~Was “go ing In.” “Tun m ust be careful to leave yourself a 'margin of safety,' Fm my,” he said. You must be careful to leave yourself enough to fall back on, In case anything should-go wrong.” Fanny deceived him. In the im possible event of “anything going wrong” she wonld have enough left to “live on,” she declared, and laughed excitedly, for she was having the best time that had come to her since Wil bur’s death. Like so many women for whom, money has always been pro vided without their understanding how, she was prepared, to be a thor ough and Irresponsible plunger. Amberson, In his wearier way, shared her excitement, and In the winter, when the exploiting company had., been formed, and he brought Fanny - her importantly engraved shares of stock, he reverted to his pre diction of possibilities, made when they first spoke of the new light. “We seem to be partners, all right,” he laughed. "Now let’s go ahead and be millionaires before Isabel and young George come home.” “When they come hom e!” she echoed sorrowfully—and it. was a phrase which found an evasive echo In Isabel’s letters. In these letters Isabel was always planning pleasant things that she and Fanny and the M ajor and George and “brother George” would do—when she and her son came home. “They’ll find things pretty changed, Pm afraid,” Fanny said. “If they ever do come home!” ..*****♦* Amberson went over the next sum m er and joined his sister and nephew in Paris, where they were living. “Isa bel does want to come home,” he told Fanny gravely'on the day of his re turn in October. “She’s wanted to for a long while—and she ought to come while she can stand the journey—” And he amplified this statement, leav ing Fanny looking startled and solemn when Lucy came by to drive him out to dinner a t the new house Eugene had just completed. He was loud In praise of the house after Eugene arrived, and gave them no account of his journey until they had retired from the dinner table to Eugene’s library, a gray and shadowy room, where their coffee was brought.. Then, equipped with a cigar, which seemed to occupy his attention, Am berson spoke In a casual tone Ot his sister and'her son. “I found Isabel ss well as usual,” he said, “only I’m afraid ’as usual’, isn’t particularly well. Sydney and Amelia had been up to Paris in the spring, but she hadn’t seen them. Somebody told her they were there, it seems. They’d left Florence .and were living In Bom e; Amelia’s become a Catholic and Is said to give great sums to charity and to go about with the gentry In consequence, but Syd ney’s ailing and lives in a wheel chair most of the time. It struck me Isabel ought to be doing the same thing.” H e paused, bestowing minute care upon the removal of the little band from bis cigar; and as he seemed to have concluded his narrative Eugene spoke out of the shadow beyond a heavily shaded lam p: “What do you mean by that?” he asked quietly. “Oh, she’s cheerful enough,” said Amberson, still not looking at either his young hostess or her father.^ “At least,” he said, “she manages to seem so., Fm afraid she hasn’t been really well for several years.- Of course she makes nothing of it, but it seemed rather serious to me when I noticed she had to stop and rest twice to get up one short flight of stairs In' their two-floor apartm ent I told her I thought she ought to make George let her come home.’’ ‘“ Let her?” ’ Eugene repeated in a low voice. “ Does she want to?” “She doesn’t urge i t George seems to like the life there—in his grand, gloomy and peculiar w a y ;. and of course she’ll never change about be ing proud of him and . all that—he’s quite a swell. But in spite of anything she said, rather than because, I know she does indeed w ant to come. She’d like to be with father, of course; and I think she’s—well, she intimated one day that, she feared it might even hap pen that she wouldn’t get to see him again.' At the time I thought she-re ferred to his age and feebleness, but on the boat coming home I remem bered the little look of wlstfulness, yet 'o f resignation, *• with which, she said it, and it strnck me all a t once that Pd been m istaken: I saw she was really thinking of her own state of healthl” “I see,” Eugene said, his voice even lower than it had been before. “And you say he won’t ‘let’ her come home?” Amberson laughed, but still contin ued to be interested in his rigor.- “Oh, I don’t think he uses force! He’s very gentle with h e r.. I. doubt if the sub ject is mentioned between them, arid yet—and yet, knowing my interesting nephew as you do, wouldn’t you think that was about the way to put it?" ■ “Knowing him_as I do—yes,” said Eugene slowly. “Yes, I should think that was about the way to put it.” ' A murmur out of the shadows be yond him—a faint sound, musical and feminine, yet expressive of a notable intensity— seemed tov indicate that Lucy was of the.'same.opinion. CHAPTER XIX. “Let her” was correct; but the tim e came—and it came in the spring of the next year—when it was no longer a question of George’s letting his mother come home. He had to bripg her, and to bring her quickly if she was to see her father again; and Am berson had been right: her dariger of never seeing him again lay not In the Major’s feebleness of heart but in her own. As it was George telegraphed his uncle to have a wheeled chair at the station, for the journey had been disastrous, and to this hybrid vehicle, placed close to the car platform, her son carried her In his arms when she arrived. She was unable to speak, but patted her brother’s and Fanny’s hands and looked “very sweet,” Fanny found the desperate courage to tell her. She was lifted from, the chair into a carriage, and seemed a little stronger as they drove home; for once she took her hand from George’s and waved it feebly toward the carriage' window. “Changed,” ‘she whispered. “So changed.” “You mean the town,” Amberson said. “You mean the old place is changed!! don’t you, dear?” She smiled and moved her lips: “Yes.” “It’ll change to a happier place, 'old dear,’’ he said, “now that you’re back in it, and going to get well again.” But she only looked at him wist fully, her eyes a little fatigued. When the carriage stopped her son carried her into the house and up the stairs to her own room, where a nurse was waiting; and he came out a mo ment later, as the doctor went in. At the end of the hall a stricken group was clustered: Amberson and Fanny and the Major.- George, deathly pale and speechless, took his grandfather’s hand, but the old gentleman did not seem to notice his action. “When are they going to let me see my daughter?” he asked querulously. “They told me to keep out of the way while they carried her in, because it might upset her. I wish they’d let me go In and speak to my daughter. I think- she wants to see me.” He was right—presently the doctor came ont and beckoned to him, and the M ajor shuffled forward, leaning on a shaking cane; his figure, after all its years of proud soldierliness, had grown stooping at last, and his un- trimmed white hair straggled over the back of his collar.' H e looked old— old and divested of the world—as he crept toward his daughter’s room. Her voice was stronger, for the waiting group heard a'low cry of-tenderness and welcome as the old man reached the open doorway. Then the door was closed. George began to pace the floor, tak ing care not to go near Isabel’s door, and that his footsteps were muffled by the long, thick hall rug. After a while he went to where Amberson, with fold ed arms and bowed head,.had seated himself near the front window. “Uncle George,” he said hoarsely. “I didn’t—” “Well?” “Oh, my God, T didn’t think * this thing the m atter with her could ever be serious! I—" He gasped. “When the doctor I had meet us a t the boat- He could not go on. Amberson only nodded his head, and did not otherwise change his attitude. . . . Isabel lived through the night. At eleven o’clock Fanny came timidly to George In his room. “Eugene is here,” she whispered. “He’s, down stairs. He wants—” She gulped. “He wants to know if he can’t see her. I didn’t know w hat to say. I said I’d see. I didn’t know—the doctor said—” “The doctor said we ‘must keep her peaceful,’ ” George said sharply.. “Do you think that man’s coming would be very soothing? My God! if it hadn’t been for him this mightn’t have hap pened.* we could_have gone on living here quietly, and—why, it would be like taking a stranger’into her room! She hasn’t even spoken of him more than twice In all the time we’ve been away. Doesn’t he know how sick she is? You tell him the doctor said she had to be quiet and peaceful. That’s what, he did say, isn’t it?” Fanny acquiesced tearfully. “I’ll tell him. I’ll tell him the doctor said- she was to be kept very quiet. I - I didn't know—” And she' pottered out. An hour later the nurse appeared in George’s doorway; she came .noise lessly, and his back was toward her;- but he jumped as if he had been shot, and his jaw fell, he so feared what she was going to say. “She wants to see you.” . The terrified month shut with a dick and he nodded and followed her, but she remained outside his mother’s room while he went in. Isabel’s eyes were closed, and she did’not open them or m ove'her head, but she smiled and edged her hand toward him as he sat on a-stool beside the bed. He took that slender, cold hand arid put. it to his cheek. “Darling, did you—get something' to eat?” She could only whisper slowly and with difficulty. It was as if Isa bel herself were far away, and only able to signal what she wanted to say. “Yes, .mother.” “All you needed!" . "Yes, mother.” ■ • ■ ' She did not speak again for a time;' then, “Are you sure you didn’t—didn't catch cold—coming home?”" ‘Tm all right, mother.” - “That’s! good. It’s sweet—it’s x sweet—” : , “W hat is, mother darling?” “To feel—iuy hand on your cheek. I—[I -can feel it.”. But this frightened him horribly— that she seemed so glad she-could feel it, like a child proud of some miracu lous seeming thing accomplished. It frightened him so that he could not speak, and he feared that she would know how he trem bled; but she was unaware, and again was silent. Final ly.she spoke again: “I wonder if—If Eugene and Lucy know th at we’ve come—homes.” ‘T m sure they do.” “Has he—asked about me F4 _JS “Yes, he was here.” Sr! “Has he—gone?” ' “Yes, mother:” She sighed faintly. *Td like * “W hat, mother?" ‘T d like to have—seen him.” It was audible, this little regretful murmur. Several minutes passed before there was another. “Just—just once,” she whispered, and then was still. She seemed to have fallen asleep, and George moved to.go, but a faint pressure upon his fingers detained him, and he remained, with hei hand still pressed against hi's cheek. Afte/ a while he made sure she was asli-eft and moved again, to let the nurse come In, and this time there was no pressure of the fingers to keep. him. iShe was not asleep, but, thinking that if he went he might get. some rest, and be better prepared for what she knew was coming, she commanded those longing fingers of hers—and let Mm go. H e found the doctor standing with the nurse in the hall; and, telling them that his mother was drowsing now, George went back to his own room, where he was startled to find his grandfather lying on the bed, and his uncle leaning against the wall. They had gone home two hours before, and he did not know they had return ed. “The doctor thought we’d better come over,” Amberson said, then was silent, and ,George, shaking violently, sat down on the edge of the bed. His shaking continued, and from time to time he wiped heavy sweat from his forehead. The hours passed, and sometimes the old man upon the bed would snore a little, stop suddenly, and move as if. to rise, but George Amberson would set a hand upon his shoulder, and ' murmur a reassuring word or two. Once George „ gasped .defiantly: “That doctor in New York said she might get better! Don’t you know he did? Don’t you know he said she might?” Amberson made no answer. Dawn had been m urklng through the smoky windows!,, growing strong er for half an hour, when both men started violently a t a sound in the hall; and the M ajor sat up on the bed It was the voice of the nurse speaking to Fanny Minafer, and the next mo m ent Fanny appeared in the doorway making contorted efforts to speak. Amberson said weakly: “Does she w ant us—to come In?” But Fanny found her voice, and; ut tered a long, loud cry. She threw her arms about George, and sobbed In an agony of loss and compassion: “She loved you!” she wailed. “She loved you! She loved you! Oh, how she did love you I” Isabel had just left them. ******* M ajor Amberson remained dry-eyed through the time th a t followed; he knew that this separation from his daughter would be short; that the separation which had preceded it was the long one. He - worked at. his ledgers no more under his old gas ' drop-light, but would sit all evening staring into the fire, in his bedroom, and not speaking unless someone ask ed Mm a question. He seemed almost unaware of what went on around Mml and those who ivere with him thought him dazed by Isabel's death, guessing that he was lost in reminiscences and vague dreams. “Probably his mind is fuH of pictures of his youth, or the Civil war, and the days when he and mother were young m arried people and all of us children were jolly little ' things—and the city was a small town with one cobbled street and the others just dirt roads with board sidewalks.” This was George Amberson’s conjee- lure, and the others agreed; but they were mistaken. The Major was en gaged in the profoundest thinking of * his life. No business plans wMch had ever absorbed him' could compare in momentousness with the plans that absorbed him now, for he had to plan how to enter the unknown country where he was not even sure of being recognized as an Amberson—not sure of anything, except that Isabel would help.him~if she could. The Major was occupied with the first really impoo tarit m atter that had taken his atten tion since he came home invalided,, af ter ’ th e' Gettysburg campaign,, and w ent into business, and he realized that everything which had worried him or delighted him . during this life time between then and today—all Ms buying and building and trading and banking—that it all was trifling and waste beside what concerned him now. Meanwhile, the life of the litrie be reft group' still forlornly centering up on him began to pick up again, as life will, and to emerge from its own peri od of dozedness. It was not Isabel’s - father but her son who was really - dazed* • (TO BE CONTINttED-' \. m "...-JjffS ■ ■■m y i TIE JOT OF MOTHtIiHOOD Oune to this Woman after Taking Lydia £• Pinkham’# , Vegetable Compound to Restore Her Health , Ellensburgf Wa-jh.—"After I was married I was not well for a lone time and a good deal of the time was not able to go about Our greatest desire was to have a child In our home and one day my husband came back from town with a bottle of Lydia E.

Dear Sirs: I have had exceptionally beneficial results from taking Mrs. Joe Person’s Remedy. For several years I have suffered with what is called “uric acid” and have taken a number of medicines in various sections of the country as prescribed by physicians, ; who for the most part very frankly j stated that they did not know what my trouble was, beyond stating that it was “uric acid.” They did not know w hat caused it nor did they know a remedy that would cure it. Some kind of ealts were usually prescribed by them. My feet were almost always blis tered and running; raw places made it impossible for me to wear my shoes for long stretches at the time. I fol lowed the directions in taking Mrs. Joe Person’s Remedy and for several months now have not had a re-appear ance of the trouble. I believe that this remedy will eliminate uric acid if taken in sufficient quantities. Yours truly, B. T.

We are all sorry to lose these good people, but wish them well in their new home. W hile here they made many friends, and endeared themselves to all our people. I t ’s a pity that so many o f our girls and boys have to leave Mocks- ville to find employment. The sta tion on Sunday afternoons, reminds one o f the exodus from Egypt—but is is only our citizens who are re turning to Winston-Salem to begin another week's work. The Mocksville Baptist church is easily going over the top in the 75 m illion dollar campaign. T h is church was assessed $8,000 fo r the five vsar period, or $1,600 per year. This amount w ill be raised this week w ithout any trouble, near ly all o f it being pledged last Sun day. I f all our subscribers who are due us would call or send the amount in before Christmas we could start the new year right. The Record is about the only thing that has not doubled in price since the war. One dollar still pays fo r a year’s sub scription.

Lf bo, he would most lik e ly Xerlo-ok the fnndam ental p rin ci L 11 ;h;it underlie successful farm Lr. W hy. who ever dreamed of pell marvelous prosperity on the La,.' Cottou 40 cents per pound, Dtwcw SO and 00 cents and even per pound! W hat w ill natu- aj; v be the inclination o f most aruH'rsf To go th e ir length in be cultivation of cotton and to Iacco 1 and to grow these crops at be expense oi food crops. W hat Ioes that meat I A great loss and some cases complete failure. I |o not mean to. say th a t however luccessfill either may be grown, Ihat the greatest p ro fit1 cannot be Iealized from a farm er growing uouey crops at the expense o f food In order to rea p' the greatest bossibie benefit from thiB great rave of agricultural prosperity bow sweeping over our land I rould recommend the adoption of ptlie following: First, let every farm er resolve Ithat he w ill not bny a single thing ■which be cannot raise on his ■farm. Second, let each .one also (resolve that he w ill not buy any [thiug for which he cannot pay lcasb. T h ird , let them resolve to [bay only throagh co operative as. [sociations. I f these principles are [adopted the farm ers..are unques- | tiouably safe! Now in the first plate, farmers I can produce their food a great deal cheaper than tiffey can buy it at ; present prices. Second, 'th e y can save from 50 to 75 per cent, by paying cash. T h ird , the best cash prices are only poBBible through co operative organization. The trouble is this, whatever the farmer buys on tim e now and dur ing this great period of prosperity, he must pay the big price o f the preseut for same a t some tim e in the future, regardless of w hat may happen. W ell, suppose cotton should drop' from 40 cents to 12 aud 15 cents again and tobacco from 90 cents aud a dollar to 25 and 30 cents! W hat would be come of the poor fellow who has to pay for groceries, fertilizer and dther supplies purchased a t the tim e of these high prices w ith money obtained at the la tte r p ric es? In my opinion he would fare about lik e a man on a tra in in a head-on collision or a fellow who hud got caught in the path of a great cyclone. I am not try in g to alarm, but .warn. I am not a pes si mist but an optimifet B u t at the same tim e I realize • th a t this awful day w ilt surely come and I wonder who w ill be able to stand? The mao who is caught in the tan gle of debts made during these prosperous times and forced to pay under such unfavorable circum stances w ill do w ell to escape total ruin. So le t the. farm er m ake hay while the sue shines, for thb clouds may now be seen gathering on the distant horizon. Let him strike while the iron is hot for it may never .e as red any more. The philosophy of m y whole themie is this, if this great wave of prosper, ity should continue, the above is the most economic course'to take. I f the crash shauld come by the drop in prices. the farmers .would be unpuesuionably Bafe Thea let. our motto be, “ Safety first.” It' is a llrig h t to boy automobiles af ter you have purchased ;and equi pped a good farm and hojne. You had better not mortgaged the IaUd paid for to buy more du rin g these uncertain times. B etter be care fu l about loading up w ith heavy fiinaneial responsibilities unless ' r you are sure you see. your way de a rly. Figure closely, .plan cau tiously anp act w ith great discre tion. In other words, he sure you are safe and then go ahead The farm er w ho.is able to make a safe .landing under such condi tions w ill be safe Ior a ll tim e to come. B u t the fellow who wrecks his ships on this great sea of pros perity w ill h a rd ly be able to re deem his boat or even 6»ve him self. . Ifth iu g s are bought under the iaflnenee of > he present dollar w hich is w orth about 331, w hat w ill happen to the fellow who m ight have to pay tha t debt when it w ill be worth 100 per cent? The bottom in most cases w ill drop out. For instance, suppose a man goes In debt $10,000 w hile the inflated dollor is w oith only 33J per cent. W hat would happen if under re veree conditions it should increase in value to IQO per cenl? W hy the same man would have to raise the equivalent oi $30,000. W hy! Becanse a mau who now receives $150 per month would, under the new condition get about $50 per month. So it would take him thre times ac long to pay the $10*- OOOdebt- So a debt made now w ill be three limes its present val ue if the bottom should happen to drop oat. JO H N D .

M. U* Baltimore. Traveling Man Gains 15 Pounds. BTidencisg the larger sphere vrhich women have come to occupy in church life, as well as other activities, when the Baptist 75 Million Campaign was decided upon at the meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention in At lanta last May, the women, through their regular organization, the Wo man's Missionary Union, at once agreed to be responsible for one-fIItii of the sum sought, or ?15,000,000. This means that the Baptist women of the South will raise for missions of all kinds, Christian education and benev olence?, the sum of $3,000,000 a year for the next five years, in addition to their contributions to local enterprises and special work. Through the channels of the "Wo man’s- Missionory Union, with head quarters at~ Baltimore, Md., the Bap tist women of the South have since their organization contributed more, than 16,000,000 in cash to various de nominational porposes. With the ad dition of boxes of food and clothing sent to orphanages and other benevo lent institutions, the total of their contributions through this channel has reached ?5,710,433.71. Miss Kathleen Mallory fa the corre sponding secretary of the Woman’s Missionary Union, and in appreciation of the service she has rendered in that connection the Baptist women of Alabama have established the Kath leen Mallory Hospital for Women at Lairhow-Fu, Shantung, China, Mias Mallory being a native of ‘Alabama. . Women of many of the other states have also undertaken special enter prises of their own. Those of Georgiay for instance, established the Ayers Hospital for Women at Hwanghian, China, a girls’ school at Tumamoto, Japan, the Catherine Bryan Kinder garten School at Canton, China, and the Mary P. Willingham School for Oirls at Bine Ridge, Ga., a school de signed especially for the education of girls in the mountainous section of that state. . Many of the .other state unions have special projects such as Good Will Centers in the tenement, factory and mining districts, where effort is made to bring more sunshine and enlighten ment and love into the home and lives of needy families, especially those of foreign hirth; church building funds, scholarships for young’women who want to obtain training, for spe cial ChrisUan service, and similar un dertakings. The general W. M. U., representing all the women of the Southern Baptist Convention, owns and '.operates the Women’s Training School at Louis ville, Ky., which has already sent out 700 trained women for special service In all parts of the world; and has es tablished the Margaret Fund for the education In .the Baptist schools of the South the sons and daughters ot mis sionaries on the foreign fields, and the Fannie E.

Probably no feature of the {? new program has attracted more attention than the prospective work in small towns and rural communities. This feature of the enlarged work ha3 been especially insisted upon and em phasized by service men who have returned to their homes in these towns and rural1 communities after having an opportunity to see the ef fectiveness and wholesomeness of "7” activities in the army camps and in France. Pour or five counties are al ready arranging for -whole-time secre taries to take up this work which will be extended rapidly. Importance of Boys Work. There are more than 300,000 boys in North Carolina between the ages of 12 and 20 years. The future of the state will be determined by those 300,000 boys. Thinking men in the state who are strongly supporting the Y. M. C.

The new movement of the Y. M. C. A, is distinctly Southern. The idea was conceived by Southern Y. M. C.

And well has his valiant deeds been told; Sheridan's ride was a noble one, And oft has it-been dwelt upon;. But hearken t6 us while we reveal Not the daring ride of Jennie. McNeil,' But the hopes and aims of the Mocksville High School. VVIiat would it mean to our town if the Mocksville High School was put on the accredited High School list? W hat would it mean to our boys and girls? We think that it would be well to consider the matter of putting the Mocksville High School on .the Accredited List from these two view-points. In considering the benefit our to wn will receive if our H igh School is placed on the Accredited List, we believe it will nqake the name of Mocksville stand out as ; an exam ple to other schools and a9 a torch lighting the way of tomorrow. F or are not the chidrenjof today the c it - izens of tomorrow? arid how can they be better prepared f o r ’good citizens than to have a good H igh Schooi - education? An accredited High School Fs a sign o f a progress ive town, because the people o f this generation are peeple who realize the good and . beauty o f a High Shool education; and the business men fully appreciate its value. An accredited High School w ill not only be a great help to tne boys and girls of our school, but also to the county who can take advantage of it What does it mean to a boy or g irl to finish a High School that is not an accredited one? Nothing. They are not prepared to enter an A I col lege or to enter the race to-make their living. W hile if they finish an accredited High School, they have the reoTnesi uhits to enter an A l college, '^tfe ie ir parents are not able to send }jtnem tc^ college, they are better prepared to begin making their living. For instance, after we have been placed on the Accredited List, our P rincipalw ill be allowed to teach to the Senior Class a course in Teacher’s Training; fo r whitfh course they w ill be given a one year certificate to teach anywhere in North Carolina, and which can be renewed by attendance at a Sum mer School. This would greatly increase the efficiency o f the teach ers of our county schools. . We won der how many teachers in our coun ty are trying to do the work in the school room, yet feel the need of just such ah opportunity and would gladly avail themselves of this priv ilege as soon as it is placed in their * reach. Also the State w ill then fu r nish a Domestic Science Teacher, to teach sewing and cooking to the E ightbandN inth Grades, and w ill pay three-fourths of her salary. I f the people of Mocksville could but realize what a hindrance it is to our boys and girls nob'to have an accred ited High School, we are sure there would beV change fo r the better, and that soon. : Leaving the good that w ill be de rived by placing our H igh; School, on the Accredited List, le t us see what we lack of being, there. The ' N inth Grade has assured us that we Will have a Library, so ,the thing le ft is a scifehiific Laboratory. Now, 'citi zens of our town, and patrons of our school, do not .let your interests slaclcen or think your ,part complet ed.' Our High’^b o o l; is not on.the AccreditedList yet, and we are go ing to keep talking it and calling ou you for help until it gets there. Therefore.the Best plan, ' we v should think, would be to prepare and have your part ready when we call on you While our Play Ground Equipments are not required in order to have an Accredited. High School,: th e ; , w ill greatly add to our appearance; and good apearance and good looks go a long way, to say nothing of the pleasure and athletic value. Let us all try to make the world better by having passed this way. Are you doing your part?

H e is not a representative o f labor, or any other class. H e is the representa tive of the public /iu dealing w ith labor, and his business to prevent the in ju ry o f the public through labor disputes. He has fallen down on the job. The coal strike is wreaking vaat damage on the public, and bids fa ir to do a great deal more; and W ilson has been unable or u n w ill ing. to Btop it. The reason for his failure doesn’t affect the coal short- age in the least. Ic may be plain incompetence. I t may be a mis- cnncption of his duty? I t makes no difference now. There is war in the coal industry, and his bus iness was to prevent war. As secretary of labor, W iliam B . W il son has failed in the m ostim por tant job he ever attempted, and ought to get out, In any other Democracy than this one, he woule thrw n out. B ut our system of “ checks and balanc es” operates in this, as in many other cases, only to check the peo pie’s w ill, to balance and netral ize the ir best efforts to get iid of an unprofitable Bervant. Tne in dignation of the public can reach the secretary o f labor only through the President, and it cannot touch tbe President at a ll nnt^l the end of quadrennial period fixed by the constitution.

H .” writing from Hickory, encloses a newspap.er.'clip- ping which details the story-of dire consequences booked for the v pres ent month by a 1 ‘Professor Porta, ” of Seattle, who has discovered^, “ a strange grouping of planets, out of which wili be materialized: - Jthe hugest sunspot on record. : Result1 ing from this grouping of . -planets and formation of the great.sunspot, the earth will experience; between the 17th and 2oth “ the most-";terri fic weather cataclysm since};human history began,” and thenAsome. “ This publication,” saysOijr-Hick- ory friend, “ is disturbing? certain people over the country and' espec ially the children.” She- asks if we can give any information .’thru The Observer as to who this Pro fessor Porta is—if he is reliable ■* or not—and if other astronomers agree with him. ‘ ‘I am sure, ’’ she says, “ there are many who would, like to kuow more about this interesting prophecy and how much truth there is in it.” Undoubtedly this far- Western fakir has a lot of people scared, just like the “ prophets” in days past succeeded in stirring them up over the coming of the end of world. That was a good scare while it lasted, but gradually with repeated failures of the end to c6me, people began to lose faith ' in ' the prophets and finally paid no heed to the setting of new dates. This prediction of elemental cataclysms is simply the old end-coming stunt in new guise, and “ Professor” Por ta is but one of the generative cranks whose name will Iiye in the papers for a day and then die and Oe forgotten. There is ‘ 'no cause to be alarmed” in the present in stance, and no harm will be done if die Seattle professor shall have sent some people to their knees in prayer, for it is only through such means as he has resorted to that those who strut about as boldly as a lion when all is going well can be given a good case of the trembles. Our Hickory friend, as well as many others who may feel concern over the product which this crank has turned out, might receive assu rance through reflection that the Government astronomers—men who know their business and who have an accurate “line” on daily and prospective situations—have given no information of anything unu sual to be expected of the Decem ber weather. The Observer would advise that the farmers should take measures to keep their cotton out of any sort of weather that is likely to come through not only December, but every month in the year, and as for the women and children,! tlfey may safely pioceed with the usual preparation for a Merry Christinas. —Charlotte Observer. - I will meet the taxpayers of Davie County at the following times and places for the purpose of collecting 1919 taxes: : SHADY GROVE TOWNSHIP. > D D Bennett's Store, Dec. 19 J H Robertson’s Store, Dec. 19 B R.

F. D. No. I, Box 144, Dillon, S. C., must have been terrible. No one, after reading her letter, can continue to doubt the great healing power of PE-RU-NA for troubles due to catarrh or catarrhal conditions In any part of the body. Her letter is an inspiration to every sick and suffering man or woman anywhere. Here it is: “I suffered two years with catarrh of the head, stomach and bowels. Tried two of , the best doctors, who gave me up. I then took PE-RU-NA and can truthfully say I am’well. When I began to use PE-RU-NA, I weighed one hundred pounds. My weight now is one hundred and fifty. I cannot praise PE-RU-NA too highly, for it was a Godsend to me. I got relief from the first half bottle and twelve bottles cured me. I advise all sufferers to take PE-RU-NA.”As an emergency remedy in the home, there is nothing quite the equal of this reliable, time-tried medicine, PE-RU-NA. Thousands place their sole dependence on it for coughs, colds, stomach and bowel trouble, constipation, rheu matism, pains in the back, side and loins and to prevent the grip and Spanish Flu. To keep the blood pure and maintain bodily strength and robustness, take PE-RU-NA. You can buy PE-RU-NA any where in either tablet or liquid form.

C H NON NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH THE PRINCIPLE THAT UNDERLIES STRIKE SETTLEMENT. PROSPECTS OF UIBHER COIL Fuel Adm inistrator Took No P art In Recent Negotiations Leading to a Settlem ent .of the Strike. Washington.—Fuel Administrator Garfield’s resignation is in the hands of President Wilson, given because he disagrees in principle with the coal strike settlement proposal arranged by the government and the mine work ers union. Dr. Garfield himself refused to con firm, deny, or discuss the report, but at 'the White House it was said that a personal letter from him, had been transmitted to the, president. Men close to the fuel administrator understood 'that he ibelleves that the work of the commission authorized under the settlement to be made up of one coal mine operator ,a coal miner and a third person named to represent the public will result in an increase In the price ot coal to the consuming public. Against this form of a set tlement Dr. Garfield has been unal terably opposed. It has been learned on good authority that he took no part in the negotiations with the mine workers'’ union chiefs during the last week and that though informed and consulted after Oieir Initiation, the terms laid out as finally accepted con travene his conception of the main principle Involved. President Wilson sent a telegram of congratulation to Acting President John L. Lewis of the mine workers at the action taken at Indianapolis.

Whatever remnants of the old high handed arrogance were still within him, he did penance for his deepest sin that night—and it may be that to this day some impressionable, over worked woman In a "kitchenette,” after turning out the light, will seem to see a young man kneeling In the darkness, shaking convulsively, and, with arms outstretched through the wall, clutching at the covers of a shadowy bed. It may seem to her that she hears the faint cry, over and over: “Mother, forgive me I God, forgive me I” CHAPTER XXI. At least it may be claimed for George that his last night in the house where he had been bom was not oc cupied with his own disheartening fu- He Did Penance for His Deepest Sin That Night ture, bnt with sorrow for what sac rifices his pride and youth had de manded of others. And early in the morning he came downstairs and tried to help Fanny make coffee on the kitchen range. “There was something I wanted to say to you last night, Aunt Fanny,” he said. “Why—why—” she stammered; but she knew what he was going to say, and that was why she had been more and more nervous. “Hadn’t—perhaps —perhaps we’d better get the—the things moved to the little new home first, George. Let’s—” He interrupted quietly, though at her phrase, “the little new home,” his pungent Impulse was to utter one loud shout and run. “It was about this new place that I wanted to speak. I’va been thinking it over and Tve decided. I want you to take all the things from mother’s room and use them and keep them for me, and Fm sure the little apartment will be just what you like; and with the extra bedroom pfob- obly you could find some woman friend to come and live there and share the expense with you. But I’ve decided on another arrangement for myself, and so I’m not going with you. I don’t suppose you’ll mind much, and I don’t see why you should mind—par ticularly, that is. ' I can’t Imagine you, or anyone else, being much attached to me, so—” He stopped In amazement: no chair had been left in the kitchen, but Fanny gave a despairing glance around her in search of one, then sank ab ruptly and sat fiat upon the floor. “What on earth—’’ George sprang to her. “Get up, Aunt Fanny!” “I can’t , I’m too weak. Let me alone, George!” And as he released the wrist he had seized to help her she uttered the dismal prophecy which for days she had been matching against her hopes: “You’re going .to leave me—In the lurch I” “Why no, Aunt Fanny!” he protest ed. “At first I’d have been something of a burden on you. Tm to get eight dollars a week; about thirty-two a month. The rent’s thlrty-slx dollars a month, and the table d’hote dinner runs up to over twenty-two dollars apiece, so with my half of the ren t- eighteen dollars—Fd have -less than nothing left out of my salary to pay . my share of the groceries for all the breakfasts and luncheons. You e you’d not only be doing all the. honse- woik and cooking,,bub you’d- be paying more ot the expenses than I would.” She stared at him with such a for lorn blankness as he had never seen. "Pd be paying—” she said feebly. 4Td be paying—” “Certainly you would. You’d be using more of your money than—” "My money!” Fanny’s chin drooped upon her thin chest and she laughed miserably. “I’ve got twenty-eight dol lars. That’s all.” “You mean until the interest is due again?” “I mean that's all,” Fanny said. 44I mean that’s all there is. There won’t be any more Interest because there isn't any principal.” “Why you told—" She shook her head. “No. I haven’t told you anything.” “Then it was Uncle George. He told me you had enough to fall back on. That’s just what he said: 4to fall back on.’ He said you’d lost more than you should in the headlight com pany, but he’d insisted that you should hold out enough to live on, and you’d very wisely followed his advice.” “I know,” she said weakly. “I told him so. He didn’t know, or else he’d forgotten how much Wilbur’s insur ance amounted to, and I—oh, it seemed such a sure way to make a real for tune'out of a little—and I thought I could do something for you, George, if you ever came to need it—and It all looked so bright I just thought I’d put It all in. I did—every cent except my last interest payment—and It’s gone.” “Good Lord!" George began to pace up and down the worn planks of the bare floor. 4lWhy on earth did you wait till now to tell such a thing as this?” 4T couldn’t till I had to,” she said piteously. It wouldn’t do any good— not any good on earth.” She got out her lace handkerchief and began to cry. “Nothing does any good, I guess, in this old world! Oh, how tired of this old world I am! I didn’t know what to do. I just tried to go ahead and be as practical as I could, and ar range some way for us to live. Oh, I knew you didn’t want me, George! I can see that much! You don’t sup pose I want to thrust myself on you, do you? It isn’t very pleasant to be thrusting yourself on a person you know doesn’t want you—but I knew you oughtn’t to be left all alone in the world; it isn’t good. I knew your mother’d want me to watch over you and try to have something like a home for you—I knew she’d want; me to do what I tried to do!” Fanny’s tears were bitter now, and her voice, hoarse and wet, was tragically sincere. “Oh! and now—you don’t want—you want —you want to leave me in the lurch! You—” “Oh, my Lord!” He went to her anl lifted her. “For God's sake get up I Come, let’s take the coffee into the other room and see what’s to be done.” He got her to her feet; she leaned upon him, already somewhat comfort ed, and, with his arm about her, he conducted her to the dining room and seated her In one of the two kitchen chairs which had been placed at the rough table. “There!” he said, "get over it!” Fanny’s spirits revived ap preciably: she looked up with a plain tive eagerness. “I had bought all my fall clothes, George,” she said; “and I paid every bill I owed. I don’t owe a cent for clothes, George.” "That’s good,” he said wanly, and he had a moment of physical dizziness that decided him to sit down quickly. For an instant it seemed to him that he was not Fanny’s nephew, but mar ried to her. He passed his pale hand over his paler forehead. “Well, let’s see where we stand,” he said feebly. “Let’s see if we can afford this place you’ve selected.” Fanny continued to brighten. 44Fm sure it’s the most practical plan we could possibly have worked out, George—and it is a comfort to be among nice people. I think we’ll both enjoy it, because the truth Is we’ve' been keeping too much to ourselves for a long while. It Isn’t good for people.” 4T was thinking about the money. Aunt Fanny. The rent is thirty-six dollars a month; the dinner is twenty- two and a half for each of us, and we’ve got to have some ,provision for other food. We won’t need any clothes for a year, perhaps—” “Oh, longer!” she exclaimed. 44So you see—” 4T see that forty-five and thirty-six make elghty-one,” he said. “At the lowest, we need a hundred dollars a month—and Sm going to make thirty- two.” 4I thought of that, George,” she said confidently, “and I’m Sure it will be all right! You’ll be earning a great deal more than that very soon.” 4T don’t see any pYospect of It-Hiot till Tm admitted to the bar, and that will be two years at the earliest” “Well, there’s the stx hundred dol lars ffotn the sale. Six hundred and- twelve dollars it was." “It isn’t six hundred and twelve now,” said George. 4Tt1S about one hundred and sixty.” FantijriShowed a momentary dismay.“Why. how—” 4T lent Unde George two hundred; I gave fifty apiece to old Sam and those two other old darkles that worked for grandfather so long, and ten to each of the servants here—” 44And you gave me' thirty-six," she said thoughtfully, “for the first month's rent, In advance.” “Did I? I’d forgotten. WeU1 with about a hundred and sixty in bank and our expenses a hundred a month, It doesn’t seem.as if this new place—" “Still,” she' Interrupted, “we have paid the first month’s rent In advance, and It does seem to be the most prac tical—” George rose. 44See here, Aunt Fanny,” he said decisively. “You stay here and look after' the moving. Old Frank doesn’t expect me until afternoon, this first day, but I’ll go and see him now.” . . . It was early, and old Frank, just established at his big, flat-topped desk, was surprised when his prospec tive assistant and pupil walked In. He was pleased, as well as surprised, how ever, and rose, offering a cordial old hand. “The real flare!” he said. “The real flare for the law. That's right! Couldn’t wait till afternoon to begin! I’m delighted that you—” 4T wanted to say—44 George began, but his patron cut him off. “Walt just a minute, my boy. I’ve prepared a little speech of welcome, and even though you’re five hours ahead of time, I mean to deliver it First of all, your grandfather was my old war comrade and my best client; for years I prospered through my con nection with his business, and his grandson Is welcome in my office and to my best efforts In his behalf. But I want to confess, Georgle, that during your earlier youth I may have had some slight feeling of—well, prejudice, not altogether in your favor; but what ever slight feeling it was, it began to vanish on that afternoon, a good while ago, when you stood up to your Aunt Amelia Amberson as you did in the Major’s library, and talked to her as a man and a gentleman should. I saw then what good stuff was in you—and I always wanted to mention it. I think you’ll find an honest pleasure now In industry and frugality that wouldn’t have come to you In a more frivplous career. The law is a jealous mistress and a stem mistress, but a—” George had stood before him in great and increasing embarrassment; and be was unable to allow the ad dress to proceed to its conclusion. 4T can’t do it!” he burst out. 4T can’t take her for my mistress.” “What?” 4Tve come to tell you, Fve got to find something that’s quicker. I can’t—’’ Old Frank got a little red. “Let’s sit down,” he said. “What’s the trouble?? George told him. The old gentleman listened sympar thetically, only murmuring: 44Well, well!” from time to time, and nodding acquiescence. “You see she’s set her mind on this apartment,” George explained. “She’s got some old cronies there, and I guess she’s been looking forward to the games of bridge and the kind of harm less gossip that goes on in such places. Really, it’s a life she’d like better than anything else—better than that she’s lived at home, I really believe. It stmck me she’s just about got to have it and after all she could hardly have anything less.” “This comes pretty heavily upon me, you know," said old Frank. 4T got her into that headlight company, and she fooled me about her resources as much as she did your Uncle George. I was never your father’s adviser, if you re member, and when the insurance was turned over to her some other lawyer arranged it—probably ybur father’s. But it comes pretty heavily on me, and I feel a certain responsibility.” 44Not at all. I’m taking the responsi bility.” And George smiled with one corner’of his mouth. 44Fll tell you how It is, sir.” He flushed, and, looking out of the streaked and smoky window be side which he was sitting, spoke with difficulty. 4T feel as If—as if perhaps I had one or two pretty Important things in my life to make up for. Well, I can’t. I can’t make them up to—to whom I would. It’s stmck me that, as I couldn’t, I might be a little decent to somebody else, perhaps—If I could manage it! I never have been particu larly decent to poor old Atmt Fanny." “Oh, I don’t know: I shouldn’t say .that. A little youthful -teasing—I doubt if she’s minded so much. It seems to me she’s had a fairly com fortable life—up to now—if she was disposed to take it that way.” “But 4up to now4 is the important thing,” George said. 44Now is now— and you see I can’t wait two years to be admitted to the bar and begin to practice. Fve got to start in ,at some thing else that pays from the start, and that’s what Fve come to you about. I have an idea, you see.” “Well, Tm glad of that!” said old Frank, smiling. 44I can’t think of any thing' just at this minute that pays from the start.44 “I only know of one thing, myself" 44W h atisitr ! George flushed again, but Tmmng^ to Inngh at his own embarrassment 44I suppose Tm about as ignorant of busi ness as anybody In the world,” he said. “But Fve heard they pay very high wages to people In dangerous trades; I’vie always heard they did, and Fm sure it must be true. I mean people that handle touchy chemicals or high explosives—men in dynamite factories, or who take things of that sort about the country In wagons, and shoot oil wells. I thought Fd see if you couldn’t tell me something more about it, or else introduce me to some one who could, and then I thought I’d see if I couldn't get something of the kind to do as soon as possible. ■ I wanted to get started today if I could.” Old Frank gave him a long stare. At first this scrutiny was sharply incred ulous; then it was grave; finally it de veloped into a threat of overwhelming laughter; a forked vein in his fore head became more visible and his eyes seemed about to protrude. But he controlled his impulse; and, rising, took up his hat and overcoat. “All right,” he said. “If you’ll prom ise not to get blown up, I’ll go with you to see if we can find the job.” Then, meaning what he said, but amazed that he did mean it, he added: “You certainly are the most practical young man I ever met!” CHAPTER XXII. 9T They found the job. It needed an apprenticeship of only six weeks, dur ing which period George was to re ceive fifteen dollars a week; after that he would get twenty-eight. This settled the apartment question, and Fanny was presently established in a greater contentment than she had known for a long time. On Sunday mornings Fanny went to church and George took long walks. He explored the new city, and found it hideous, especially in the early spring,- before the leaves of the shade trees were out. One of his Sunday walks, that spring, he made into a sour pilgrimage. It was a misty morning of belated snow slush, and suited him to a per fection of miserableness, as he stood before the great dripping department store which now occupied the big plot of ground where once had stood both the Amberson hotel and the Amberson opera house. From there he drifted to the old 44Amberson block,” but this was only a shadow. The old structure had not been replaced, but a cavernous en- trywayi for trucks had been torn in its front, and upon the cornice, where the old separate metal letters had spelt 44Amberson block," there was a long bill board sign: 44Doogan Storage.” To spare himself, he went out Na tional avenue and saw the piles of slush-covered wreckage where the Mansion and his mother’s house had been, and'where the Major’s ill- fated five “new” houses had stood; for these were down, too,-to make room for the great tenement already shaped In unending lines of foundation. He turned away from the devastated site, thinking bitterly th at' the only Amberson mark still left upon the town was the name of the boulevard— Amberson boulevard. But he had reck oned without the city council of th® new order, and by an unpleasant coin cidence, while the thought was still in his mind,, his eyes felt upon a metal oblong sign gjpon the lamp-post at the corner. There were two of these little signs upon the lamp-post, at an obtuse angle to each other, one to give pass- ersby the name of National avenue, the other to acquaint them with Am- berson boulevard. But the oqe upon which' should have been stenciled 44Amberson boulevard” exhibited the words “Tenth street.” George stared at it hard. Then he walked quickly along the boulevard to the next corner and looked at the little sign there. “Tenth street.” It had begun to rain, but George stood unheeding, staring at the little I 44D-Theml4* sign.- 44D - them!" he said finally, and, turning up his -.coat collar, plodded back through the soggy streets toward “home.” The utilitarian impudence of the city authorities put a thought into his mind. •A week;earlier he had happened to stroll into the large parlor of the apartment house, finding it empty, and on the centertable he noticed a larek 2 & 2 P 1 :' J 11t^ deed » < * . newly Printed, bearing the title: 44A CSric With the elevator boyx on the way, that it was getting to Oe a mighty nasty wet and windy day outside. The elevator boy noticed nothing un usual about him and neither did Fanny, when she came in from church with her hat reined, an hour later. And yet something had happened—a thing which, years ago, had been the eager- est hope of many, many good citizens of the town. They had thought of it, longed for it, hoping acutely that they might live to see the day when it would come to pass. And now it had hap pened at last: Georgle MInafer had got his come-upance. He had got it three times filled aqd running over. The city had rolled over his heart, burying it under, as it rolled over the Major’s and buried it under. The city had rolled over the Amber- sons and buried them under to the last vestige; and it mattered little that George guessed easily enough that most of the five hundred Most Promi nent bad paid something substantial “to defray the cost of steel engraving, etc.”—the Five Hundred had heaved the final shovelful of soot upon that heap of obscurity wherein the Amber- sons were lost forever from sight and history. “Quicksilver in a nest of cracks!” Georgle Minafer had got his come- upance, but the people who had so longed for it were not there to see It, and they never knew it. Those who were still living had forgotten all about it and all, about him. - * * * * * * * George had seen Eugene only once since their calamitous encounter. They had passed on opposite sides of the street, downtown; each had been aware that the other was aware i of him, and yet each kept his eyes straight forward,' and neither had shown a perceptible alteration of coun tenance. It seemed to George that he felt emanating from the outwardly im perturbable person of his mother’s old friend a hate that was like a hot wind. At his mother’s funeral and at the Major’s he had been conscious that Eugene was there: though he had aft erward no recollection of seeing him, and, while certain of his presence, was uncertain how he knew of it. Fanny had not told him, for she understood George well enough not to speak to him of Eugene or Lucy. Nowadays Fanny almost never saw either of them and seldom thought of them—so sly is the way of time with life. She was passing middle age, when Old in tensities and longings grow thin and flatten out, as Fanny herself was thin ning and flattening out; and she was settling down contentedly to her apart ment-house intimacies. The city was so big, now, that peo ple disappeared into it unnoticed, and the disappearance of Fanny and her nephew was not exceptional. People no longer knew their neighbors as a matter of course; one lived for years next door to strangers—that sharpest of all the changes since the old days —and a friend would lose sight of a friend for a year, and not know it. One May day George thought he had a glimpse of Lucy. He was not cer tain, but he was sufficiently disturbed, in spite of his uncertainty. A promo tion In his work now frequently took him out of town for a week, or longer, and it was upon his return from one of these absences that he hadi the strange experience. He had walked home from the station, and as he turned the cor ner which brought him In sight of the apartment house entrance, though two blocks distant from It, he saw a charm ing little figure come out, get into a shiny landaulet automobile, and drive away. Even at that distance no one could have any doubt that the little figure was charming; and the height, the quickness, and decision of motion, even the swift gesture of a white glove toward the chauffeur—all were char acteristic of Lucy. George was instant ly, subjected to a shock of .indefinable nature, yet definitely a shock: he did not know what he felt—but he knew that he felt. He went on slowly, his knees shaky. • - • But he found Fanny not at home; she had been out all afternoon; and there was no record of any caller— and he began to wonder, then to doubt if the small lady he had seen In' the distance, was Lucy. It might as well have been, he said to himself—since anyone who Idoked like her could-give him "a jolt like that!” - Lucy had not left a card. She never left one when she called, on Fanny; though she did not give her reasons a oddity contrived JJZu* tleRsIi'' I ladies without either of t?1 how nriri if p the® 1how odd it was. At other times Lucys George were anythin*'I and weeks w-nt by !t^ l consciously '» he w l History," and beneath the title, the qutij . rubric, "Biographies of the 500 Most She came ® b^ mn. Prominent Citizens and Families In third time f w ’ tbis Wa*. iH the History of the City.” He had, come, Georae ^ ^ glanced at it absently, merely noticing! either by her h« J as not WemN the title and subtitle, and wandered oddity contrived ? or out of the room, thinking of other things and feeling no curiosity about the book. But he had thought of it several times since with a faint, vague uneasiness; and now when he entered the lobby he walked directly into the parlor where he had seen the book. The room was empty, as It always was on-Sunday mornings, and the flamboy ant volume was still upon the table— evidently a fixture as a sort of local Almanach de Gotha, or Burke, for the enlightenment of tenants and boarders. He turned to the index where the names of the five hundred Most Promi nent Citizens and Families in the His tory of the City were arranged in al phabetical order, and ran his finger down the column of A’s: Abbett, Ab bott, Abrams, Adams, Adams, Adler, Akers, AIbertsmeyer1 Alexander, Allen, Ambrose, Ambuhl, Anderson, Andrews, Appenbasch, Archer, Arszman, Ash craft, Austin, Avey. George’s eyes remained for some time fixed- on the thin space between the names “Allen” and “Ambrose.” Then he closed the book quietly, and went .up to his own room, agreeing life was a buSy on6.‘“u fit all.

NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. DECEMBER 24, 1919.NUMBER 24 ■•i GENERAL WOOD O n LABOR. IWhere He Stand* and Every True American is With Him. General Leonard W ood, who has lbecn interestingly brought forw ard Ibytlie Republicans of< S o u th: Da- Ikota1 lias one characteristic w hich I Js 0f ’ general knowledge over, .the country. He is a man o f decided convictions, and never,' under any I circumstances, is he afraid to speak I wliat lie believes. H e is a man I given to frankness o f statement. I He is a man w ithout feat o f: conse quences. H is o n ly re s tra in fin th e I matter of free speech is the A rm y, : and he respects the obligations un der which lie is bound w h ile in the m ilitary service. B u t there are occasions when he may speak w ith out restraint and one such develop ed last week when he was called upon to make public expression of his views on the labor troubles. His prospective candidacy as Re publican aspirant for the presidency w ill invest his views on this m atter with more than ordinary interest. “ We must stop the ir fig h t,” he exclaimed in his direct way, “ and,” he continued: “ P ublic opinion rules a country. A strike is a blow at the public but labor'm ust be in sured a square deal. W e m ust es tablish co-operation between capital and labor. W e m ust rid labor of treasonable leaders by . deporting them, and equally im perative, we must remove the conditions around labor w hich give rise id just com plaints. General W ood furthe r holds that we cannot :pay labor more than it earns. The h ig h cost of livin g can be decreased only by increasing production, not by laws. Thereshould be no autocracy of capital', “ but juSt as 'em phatically: I say, there can be no autocracy of labor.” General W ood insists, and he is right, that the real issue to day is whether we shalT have a Re public or a M onarchy.; As to w hich it is to be, he lays down the propo sition that all people -know “ we w ill have law and order* and this country w ill be run by Americans. ” —Charlotte Observer. ■■■ Hickory Chips, As long as cigarettes' are made, boys w ill get them— and’ “ the hab it. .?•'■ I f all would q u it tobacco, there would be “ M illions fd r the Mas te r.” i Daywasm ade fo r w ork, night for rest.

Speaking of- treaties, coalitions, conventibns and leagues between na tions and parts of nations to settle disputes and to prevent war and bloodshed, history gives between *8o and ioo of them. One of them was as late as 1907. And although 24 of the leading nations joined the league, yet in less than ten years, the whole bunch were in war—in it now. If they would not keep their pledges then how do we know they will now? Here we have a league of States, bound together by the strongest ties of civil and religious brother hood. Yet, they got into civil war, the bloodiest ever recorded in his tory. Even the churches here of the same faith and order caught the spirit of it, became divided, and withdrew conventional fellowship from each other over it. As long as wicked men bear rule there will be war. The Bible teach es it. And the Bible is a better in terpreter of human weakness than any man, party or even the “Big Four” We are now having war in this Christian country—war between capital and 1 labor. If Christian neighbors and even brethren in the same churches fall out and kill each other over dividends and wages, it is foolish for anyone to say un-God- Iy nations will do better than we— that they will not fall out and have war. It will be worse with the league than without it. ' There will not be peace on earth until Chirst, the “King of Peace,” comes and sets up his kingdom, “the world, the flesh and the dev il,” to the contrary, notwithstand ing.— Hitiory Mercury. .. --'■ •; New York Under Prohibition. The metropolis is dry, China town lauguisheth and the Bowery weepeth for the day that is gone. The schooner and the highball are no more, and “little old New York” is sobering up. Famous old resorts have put up the shut ters. The saloon rounder is but a memory. The white-aproned spig- ot-twister and the bar-flies are gone —gone to work, let us hope. New Ycrk of today is not the New York of a year ago. “The old order changeth.” A new civilization has dawned upon the metropolis and the city is happier and better. Its growth will be more rapid and its business will increase since the greatest handicap and obstacle to progress has been removed.—Rich mond Virginian. Long Way After Lincoln. The only trouble with Democra cy is. that it has developed into Government of the people, at the people, over the people, under the people, around the people, between the people, into the people, with the people, without the people, for the people, beyond the 'people, af ter the people, before the people, in front of the people, behind the people, outside the people, inside the people. Why not get back to the original Lincolnian proposi tions.—Life. A Sick Government. Why' blame the government? The government would certainly have btoken the coal strike, only the miners woldn’t go to work ; it would have deported the bolsbevi- ki, only the bolsheviki would’t leave; it would make Caranza be have, only he won’t. In short, it would be a real, sure enough gov ernment, only its brains are sick. —Grefensboro News. !.Should Be Quarantined. . . -Many physicians believe that anyone who has a bad cold.should, be completely 'isolated to prevenLstber members of ' the family and associates from contrasting the disease, as colds are about as catch ing as'tneasles.

One thousand nine hundred and nineteen years ago a child was born, of a virgin mother. Throughout the years which DAVIE MAN WINS HIGH HONORS CaptainGuy L. Hartman, of Farming ton, Awarnded Many Medah For Bravery. Proud possessor of a distinguished ser vice cross pinned to his breast by Gener al Pershing, awarded the croix de guerre by the French government and carrying a pocketful! of citations for his bravery and daring deeds during war with Germany, Captain Gny L. Hartman, of the U. S. Ar my, returned to Fort Smith yesterday af ter an absence of some five years. He was accompanied by his father, C. A. Hartman, of Farmington, North Cardina Captai,. Hartman is on his first leave of absence since he arrived in the states from overseas last July. He is a very personable figure in uni form with the insignia of distinguished service, and shows no signs of the haz ardous and thrilling exp< Lences that have ; won him splendid honors for so young an ] officer, other than the keen, direct gazehave flown since this memorable event we have celebrated the b irth 1 that is characteristic of men who have of that child. ; accomplished things. The halo w hich surrounded its j And Captain Hartman has accomplish- little head has remained fixed in our memories through all the cen turies of time, and will continue to be with us until time ceases to be. This child was the Christ—the son of God—who, as a man, was nailed to the cross, and forgave his enemies who crucified him there. Audther year is drawing to a close, and the lessons learned from this good mau are again brought forcibly to our minds at the Yule- tide season of our rejoicing. As Christ forgave his enemies, so let us forgive ours, and forget the injustices which they have done us. The harboring of ill will does good to no one. It may do harm to many. But the greatest harm of all is that which springs from a mind of hate and poisons the heart in which it finds lodgment. Itkills the joy of life and fills the road to eternity with impassa ble barriers, beyond which only the fit in mind and heart may go. At the Christmas of 1919 let us all forgive and forget, and begin the new yaar with joy in our hearts and good will toward all people. For Christ was the teacher of teachers, and his lessons are indeli bly stamped upon the pages of time. NO PAPER NEXT WEEK. We realize that our many read ers need at least one week’s rest out of the 52 in the year, and for this reason The Record will not be issued next week, but will appear again Jan. 7th, 1920, the Lord will ing. During the past year we have done our best to give the peo ple of Davie and adjoining coun ties the best paper possible for the price. We have made many mis takes but they were of the head and not the heart. If shall be our aim to give our readers a better pa per next year than ever before. The printing will be better, and we hope to make the contents better as the weeks and months go by. We wish to thank onr many sub scribers and advertisers for their patronage during the past year, and trust that they will continue to favor us with a share of their business. Our office will be open all this week for the transaction of business, and we would be glad for our patrons to ’ drop in and see us at any time. . The price of everything goes merrily skyward.

Captain Hartman himself speaks very casually of his brilliant reccrd. He is just Iy proud of the service he has done for his country, but modestly refuses to dis cus i his own part in it. Butibe recorl speaks for itself. For his most gallant deed Captain Hart man was awarded the Croix de Guerre by the French government, presented to him July 8.1913. He was given the dis tinguished service cross for service in the special engagement in the Frapelle opera tion. Lieutenant Colonel John W. Leon ard. 60th Infantry, explains the citation in the following communication. "I. the undersigned commander of the Third Battalion 6th Infantry in the Frap- elle operation, certify that First Lieuten ant Guy L. Hartman, 6th Infantry, was w Iiinded about 4:30 a. m. by a fragment of shell while leading the battalion com mander into Frapelle. Lieutenant Hart man never mentioned the wound but re mained on duty. ‘After entering Frapelle he returned about 9:50 a, m., to the department trench and led a plation which had faded to go over the top on account of the intense barrage, to its proper position. During the 16tb and 18th he rendered invaluable assistance to his battalion commander in reconnaissance and as a guide under heavy shell fire and gas. When the bat talion was relieved from Frapelle on the evening of the 18th Lieutenant ,Hartman was left behind with the relieved unit. The next day he repotted to pie at Charemont and it was at this time that he went to the First Aid station and received first aid treatment and had the fragment re moved. Hewasextremely weak at that time. “I the undersigned, commander of op eration of the captured position by the brigade commander. He remain ed with me until 5 p. m. August 23rd, when we were relieved. He rendered in valuable service guiding working parties and locating bodies. He worked contin uously, practically always under the fire and gas of infected regions. Once when the working party failed to enter Frapelle at night he personally guided them in j under shell fire. ‘ 0.1 the night of August 20th 1918, a re lief co.ild not be effected on account of \ gas and shelling and the reliving unit Ios ing its way.

Al) through the entire operation Lieutenapt Hartman displayed extraordi nary heroism and devotion to duty of the highest type, and personal brravery that cannot be surpassed His work was a wonderful example for the entire battal ion." Captain Hartman wa* again recom mended for the Distinguished Service Cross for gallantry in taking up the com mand of the Third Battalion, Sixth Infan try, on November 4th, afterthe command ing officer. Major John W. Leonard was wounded. Captain Hartman, then lieu tenant, led the battalion across the Meuse and gained a foothold on the east bank and at once began his assault in the woods notwithstanding the darkness, cap turing machine gunners and- forcing the retreat of the enemy. Captain Hartman has also been recommended for the Con gressional Medal on account of his gal lant deeds in service. The service record book of the gallant young offier contains the following nota tions from superior officers. Impossible to tell in words the gallant, remarkable and wonderful work of Lieu tenant Hartman throughout the war. The regiment, brigade and divine command ers are all aware of his value. I consider that the success of the Third Battalion, Sixth Infantry, in this war is in a gr^at measure due to his untiring, loyal, faith- i ful service. JOHN W.

Captain Hartman began his military career as a scout with the Pershing force. His military record in Mexico was mark ed with numerous gallant deeds. Soon after returning with the troops from Mex ico he entered the Second Officers Train ing Camp at Fort Oglethorpe, where he was commissioned second lieutenant He was eager to be sent abroad and was among the first to go over. Captain Hartman’s first service abroad was in the St. MihieI sector. Next came the engagement of Frapelle at which he was wounded but remained in service for several days afterwards. He also served in St. Mibiel sector September 12 15. The most hazardous service in which C iptain Hartmaii engaged was that of the Meuse-Argonne sector October 10 to No vember 11. In this engagement Major John W. Leonard, commanding the third Battalion. Sixth Infantry, was wounded on October 17, ie irving Captain Hartman in command.

Next day. It happened that this same “Vendo- nah” or "Rides-Down-Everything” be came the subject of a chance conver sation between Eugene and his old friend Kinney, father of the fire-topped Pred. The two gentlemen found them selves smoking in neighboring leather chairs beside a broad window at the club, after lunch. Mr. Kinney had remarked that he expected to get his family established at the seashore by the Fourth of July, and, following a train of thought, he paused and chuckled. “Fourth of July reminds me,” he said. “Have you heard what that Georgie Minafer is doing?” “No, I haven’t,” said Eugene, and his friend failed to notice the crispness of the utterance. “Well, sir,” Kinney chuckled again, "It beats the devil! My boy Fred told me about it yesterday. He’s a friend of this young Henry Akers, son of F. P. Akers of the Akers Chemical com pany. It seems this young Akers asked Fred if he knew a fellow named Mina- fer, because he knew Fred had always lived here, and young Akers had heard some way that Minafer used to be an old family name here, and was sort of curious about it. Well, sir, you re member this young Georgie sort of dis appeared, after Iiis grandfather’s death, and nobody seemed to know much what had become of him— though I did hear, once or twice, that he was still around "somewhere. Well, sir, he’s working for the Akers Chem ical company, out at their plant on the Thomasville road." He paused, seeming to reserve some thing to.be delivered only upon inquiry, and Eugene offered him the expected question, but only after a cold glance through the nose-glasses he had lately found It necessary to adopt “What does he do?” Kinney laughed and slapped the arm of his chair. “He’s a nitro-glycerin ex pert I’’1 He was gratified to see that Eugene was surprised, if not, indeed, a little startled. “He’s what?” “He’s an expert on nitro-glycerin. Doesn’t that beat the devil I Yes, sir! Toung Akers told Fred that this George Minafer had worked like a houn’-dog ever since he got started out at the works. They have a special plant for nitro-glycerin, way off from the main plant, o’ course—in the woods somewhere—and George Mina- fer’s been working there, and lately they put him in charge of it. He over sees shooting oil wells, too, and shoots ’em himself, sometimes. They aren’t allowed to carry it on the railroads, you know—have to team it. Young Alters says George rides around over the bumpy roads, sitting on as much as three hundred quarts of nitro-glycerin! My Lord! Talk about romantic tum bles! If he gets blown sky-high some day he won’t have a bigger drop, when he comes down, than he’s already had! Don’t it beat the devil! Young Akers said he’s got all the nerve there is in the world. Says he gets ft. fair salary, and I should think he ought to! Seems to me I’ve heard the average life in that sort of work is somewhere around four years, and agents don’t write any Insurance at all for nitro-glycerin ex perts. Hardly!” “No,” said Eugene. “I suppose not.” Kinney rose to go. “Well, it’s a pretty funny thing—pretty odd, I mean —and I suppose it would be pass- around-the-hat for old Fanny Minafer if he blew up. Fred told me that they’re living In some apartment house, and said Georgie supports her. He was going to study law, but couldn't earn enough that way to take care of Fanny, so he gave it up. Fred’s wife told him all this. Says Fanny doesn’t do anything but play bridge these days.) Got to playing too higli for awhile and lost more than she wanted to tell Georgic about, and borrowed a little from old Frank Bronson. Paid him back, though. Don’t know how Fred’s wife heard it. Women do hear the darndest things!” “They do,” Eugene agreed. “Well, I’m off to the store,” said Mr. Kinney briskly; yet he lingered. “I suppose we’ll ail have , to club In and keep old Fanny out of the poorhouse If be does blow up.' From all I hear it’s usually only 'a question of time. They, say she hasn’t got anything else to depend on.” “I suppose not.” V “Well—I wondered—” Kinney hesi tated. “I was wondering why you hadn’t thought of .finding something around your worksforhim. Xon used: to be such a tremendous friend of the ' family—I. thought: perhaps you—of ; course I know he’s a queer lot—I know “Yes, I think he is,” said Eugene. “No. I haven’t anything to offer him.” “I suppose not,” Kinney returned thoughtfully, as he went on. “I don’t know that I would myself. Well, we’ll probably see his name in the papers some day if he stays with that job!” . . . However, the nitro-glycerin expert of whom they spoke did not get into the papgrs as a consequence of being blown up, although his daily life was certainly a continuous exposure to that risk. Destiny has a constant pas sion for the incongruous, and It was- George’s lot to manipulate wholesale quantities of terrific and volatile ex plosives In safety, and to be laid low by an accident so commonplace and In consequent that it was a comedy. Fate had' reserved for him the final in sult of riding him down under the wheels of one of those juggernauts at which he had once shouted “Git a hoss!” Nevertheless, Fate’s ironic choice for Georgie’s undoing was not a big and swift and momentous car, such as Eugene manufactured; it was a spe cimen of the hustling little type that was flooding the country, the cheapest, commonest, hardiest little car ever made. The accident took place upon a Sun day morning, on a downtown cross ins, with the streets almost empty, and no reason in the world for such a thing to happen. He had gone out for *h!s Sunday morning walk, and he. was thinking of an automobile at the very moment when the little car struck him; he was thinking of a shiny.Ian- daulet and a charming figure stepping into it. and of the quick gesture of a white glove toward the chauffeur, mo tioning him to go on. George heard a shout, but did not look up, for he could not imagine anybody’s shouting at him, and he was too engrossed in the ques tion “Was it Lucy?” He could not de cide, and his lack of decision In this matter probably superinduced a lack of decision in another, more pressingly vital. At the second and' louder shout he did look up; und the car was almost on him; but he could not make up his mind if the charming little figure he had seen was Lucy’s and he could not make up his mind whether to go back ward or forward; these questions be came entangled in his mind. Then, still not being able to decide which of two ways to go. he tried to go both— and the little car ran him down. It was not moving very rapidly, but it went all the way over George. He was conscious of gigantic vio lence; of roaring and jolting and con cussion; of choking clouds of dust, shot with lightning, about his head; he heard snapping sounds as loud as shots from a small pistol, and was stabbed by excruciating pains in his legs. Then he became aware that the machine was being lifted off of him. People were gathering In a circle round him, gabbling. His forehead was bedewed with the sweat of anguish, and he tried to wipe off this dampness, but failed. He could not get his arm that far. “Nev’ mind,” a policeman said; and George could see above his eyes the skirts of the blue coat, covered with dust and sunshine. “Amb’lance here In a minute. Nev’ mind tryin' to move any. You want ’em to send for some special doctor?” “No.” George's lips formed the word. “Or to take you to some private hospital?” “Tell them to take me,” he said faintly, “to the City hospital.” “A’ right.” A smallish young man in a duster fidgeted among the crowd, explaining and protesting and a strident-voiced girl, his companion, supported his ar gument, declaring to everyone her willingness to offer testimony In any court of law that every blessed word he said was the God’s truth. “It’s the fella that hit you,” the po liceman said, looking down on George. “I guess he’s right; you must of b’ea tbinkin’ about somep’n’ or other. It’s wunnerful the damage them little ma chines can do—you’d never think It— but I guess they ain’t much case ag’in this fella that was drivin’ it.” “You bet your life they ain’t no case on me!” the young man in the duster agreed, with great bitterness. He came and stood at George’s feet, addressing him heatedly: “I’m sorry fer you all right, and I don’t say I ain’t. I hold nothin’ against you, but It wasn’t any more my fault than the statehouse! Wasn’t goin’ a step over eight miles an hour! I’m perfectly willing to say I’m sorry for you though, and so’s the lady with me. We’re both willing to say that much, hut that’s all, under stand !” George’s drawn eyelids twitched; his misted glance rested fleetingly up on the two protesting motorists, and the old imperious spirit within him flickered up in a single word. Lying on his back in the middle of the street, where'he was regarded by an increas ing public as an unpleasant curiosity, he spoke this word clearly from a mouth filled with dust, and from lips smeared with blood. . . . It was a word which inter ested the policeman. When the ambu lance clanged away, he turned to a fellow patrolman who had joined him. “Funny what he says to the little cuss that done the damage. That’s all he did call him—nothin’ else at all—and the cuss had broke both his legs fer him and God-knows-what-all I” “I wasn’t here then. What was it?” “ ‘Riffraff!’” • CHAPTER XXIII. Eugene’s feeling about George had not been titered by his talk with Kin ney In the club window, though he was somewhat disturbed.. Kinney had rep-' resented Georgie os a new Georgte-1- a t'least In spots—a Georgie who was proving that dedent stuff had been hid In him: In fact, a Georgie who was do* Ing Hither a handsome thing id Cakinl a risky job for the sake of his aunt; poor old silly Fanny Mlnafer! Eugene didn’t care what risks Georgie took, or how much decent stuff he had In him; nothing that Georgie would ever do In this world or the next could change Eugene Morgan’s feeling toward him, If Eugene had wished, he could eas Ily have taken George out of the nitro glycerin branch of the chemical works. Always interested In apparent'Impos sibilities of invention, Eugene had en couraged many experiments In such gropings as those for the discovery of substitutes for.gasoline and rubber; and, though his mood had withheld the information from Kinney, he had re cently bought from the elder Akers a substantial quantity of stock on the condition that the chemical company should establish an experimental labo ratory. He intended to buy more; Akers was anxious to please him; ami a word from Eugene would have placed George almost anywhere In the chemical works. The possibility just edged itself into Eugene’s mind; that is, he let It become part of his percep tions long enough for It to prove to him that it was actually a possibility. Then he half started with disgust that he should be even idly considering such a thing over his last cigar for the night, in his library. “ No!” And he threw the cigar into the empty fire place and went to bed. His bitterness for himself might have worn away, but never his bitter ness for Isabel. He took that thought to bed with him—and It was true that nothing George could do would ever change this bitterness of Eugene. Only George’s mother could have changed it. And as Eugene fell asleep that night, thinking thus bitterly of Georgle, Georgie In the. hospital was thinking of Eugene. He thought of Eu gene Morgan and of the Major; they seemed to be the1 same person for awhile, but he manged to disentangle them and even to understand why he had confused them. Long ago his grandfather had been the most strik ing figure of success In the town: “As rich as Major Amberson!” they used to say. Now it was Eugene. “If I had Eugene Morgan’s money,” he would hear the workmen day-dreaming at the chemical works ; or, “If Eugene Mor gan had hold of this place you’d see things hum!” And the boarders at the table d’hote spoke of “the Morgan Place” as an eighteenth-century Frenchman spoke of Versailles. Like his uncle, George had perceived that the “Morgan' Place” was the new Am- berson mansion. His reverie went back to the palatial days of the mansion, In his boyhood, when he would gallop his pony up the driveway and order the darkey stablemen about, while they whooped and obeyed, and his grandfa ther, observing from a window, would laugh and call out to him: “That’s right, Georgie. Make those lazy ras cals jump!” He remembered his gay young uncles, and how the town was eager concerning everything about them, and about himself. What a clean, pretty town it had been! And In his reverie he saw like a pageant before him the magnificence of the Amber- sons—its passing, and the passing of the Ambersons themselves. They had been slowly engulfed without knowing how to prevent It, and almost without knowing what was happening.to them. The family lot, in the shabby old quar ter, out at the cemetery, held most of them now; and the name was swept altogether from the new city. The Ambersons had passed, and the new people would pass, and the new people that came after them, and the next new ones, and the next—and the next— He had begun to murmur, and the man on duty as night nurse for the ward came and bent over him.. “Did you want something?” “There’s nothing in this family busi ness,” George told him confidentially. “Even George Washington Is only something in a book.” * . * * . * . • . * Eugene read a report of the accident In the next morning's paper. He was on the train, having just left for New York, on business, and with less leis ure would probably have overlooked the obscure item: LEGS BROKEN. G.- A. Mlnafer, an employee of the Alt ers Chemical company, was run down by an automotiile yesterday at the corner of Tennessee and Main and had both legs broken. Mlnafer was to blame for the accident, according to Patrolman F. A. Kax, who.witnessed the affair. The auto mobile was a small one driven by Herbert Cottleman of 2173 Noble avenue;" who stat ed that he was making less than four miles an hour. Minafer is said to belong to a family formerly of considerable prom inence in the city. He was taken to the City hospital, where physicians stated later that he was suffering- from internal injuries besides the fracture of his legs, but might recover. Eugene read the item twice, then tossed the paper upon the opposite seat of his compartment, and sat looking out of the window. His feeling toward Georgie was changed not a jot by his human pity for Georgie’s human pain and injury. He thought of Georgie’s tall and graceful figure,' and he shiv ered, but his bitterness was untouched. He had never blamed Isabel for the weakness which had cost them the few years of happiness they might have had together; he had put the blame all on the son, and it stayed there. He began to think poignantly 1Of Isa bel. He closed his eyes and . saw her as she had been long ago. He say the brown-eyed, brown-haired, proud,, gen tle, laughing girl he had known when first he came to town, a boy jtist out of the State college. He remembered r-as he' had remembered ten thousand times before—the look she gave him when her brother George introduced him to her at a picnic ; it was “like Basel Starllghft he had'written'hfer. tay a poem, afterward. He remembered Ih s oral cAii di 'fht .S.U,^erson mansion, and what a great personage she seemed, at home In that magnificence; and yet so gay and friendly. He re membered the first time he had danced with her—and the old waltz song be gan to beat In his ears and In his heart * AU the way to New York it seemed- to. him that Isabel was near him, and he wrote of her to Lucy from his hotel the next night: “I saw an account, of the accident of George Mlnafer.. I’m sorry, though the paper states that it waS' plainly his own fault. I .suppose it may have been as a result of my attention fall ing upon the item that I thought of his mother a great deal on the way here. It seemed to me that I had never seen her more distinctly or so constantly, but, as you know, thinking of his moth er is not very apt to make me admire him! Of course, however, he has my best wishes for his recovery.” He posted the letter, and by the morning's mail received one from Lucy written a few hours after his depar ture from home. She inclosed the item he had read on the train and wrote: “I thought you might not see it . “I have seen Miss Fanny and she has got him put into a room by him self. Oh, poor Rides-Down-Everythingl I have been thinking so constantly of his mother and it seemed to me that I have never seen her more distinctly. How lovely she was—and how she loved him!” If Lucy had not written this letter Eugene might not have done the odd thing he did that day. He was an ad venturer; If he had lived in the six teenth century he would have sailed the unknown new seas, but having been bom In the latter part of the nineteenth, when geography was a fairly well-settled matter, he had be come an explorer In mechanics. But the fact that he was a "hard-headed business man” as well as an adven turer did not keep him from having a queer spot In his brain, because hard- headed business men are as suscep tible to such spots as adventurers are. Two weeks after Isabel's death, Eu gene was In New York on urgent busi ness and found that the delayed ar rival of a steamer eave him a day with nothing to do. His room at the hotel had become intolerable; outdoors was intolerable; everything was Intolera ble. It seemed 'to him that he must 5 “No, Just to Take His Hand—Gently.” see Isabel once more, hear her voice once more; that he must find some way to her, or lose his mind. Under this pressure he had gone, with com plete scepticism, to a “trance-medium” of whom he had heard wild accounts from the wife of a business acquaint ance. The experience had been grotesque, and he came away with an encourag ing message from his father, who had failed to Identify himself satisfactor ily, but declared that everything was “on a higher plane” in his present ■state of being, and that all life was “continuous and progressive,” Mrs. Horner spoke of herself as a “psychic;” but otherwise she seemed oddly unpretentious and matter-of- fact;, and Eugene had no doubt at all of her sincerity. He went tp Mrs. Horner's after his directors’ meeting today. He used the telephone booth In the directors’ room to make the ap pointment; and he laughed feebly at himself, and wondered what the group of men In that mahogany apartment would think if they knew what he was doing. Mrs. Homer had changed her address, but he found the new one, and somebody purporting to be a niece of hers talked to him and. made an ap pointment for a “sitting” at five o’clock. Mrs. Horner appeared In the door way, a wan and unenterprising look ing woman in brown, with thin hair artificially waved—but not recently— and parted In the middle over a bluish forehead. Herii eyes were small and seemed, weak, but she recognized the visitor. '. “Oh, you been here before,” she said, In a thin voice, not unmusical. “I rec ollect you. Quite a time ago, wa’n’t it?” “Yes, quite n long time.” “I recollect because I recollect you was disappointed. . Anyway, you-, was kind of cross.” She Uughed faintly. ‘Tm sotfry if I. seemed so,” Eugene said. “Shall we—* ■ “AU right,” she assented, dropped into the leather chair, withherback to the: shaded WindoWi “You better‘set down, too, I reckon. I hope you'll get I something this time so you won’t feel cross, but I dunno. I can’t' never tell what they’ll do. Well—” Phe sighed, closed her eyes, and was silent, while Eugene, seated In the stiff chair across the, table from her, watched her profile, thought himself an idiot, and called himself that and other napes. And as the silence con tinued, and the impassive woman in the easy-chalr remained inipasslve, he began to wonder what had led him to be such a fool. What had brought him back to this absurd place and caused him to be watching this absurd’wom an taking a inap in a chair? In brief: What tlie devil did he mean by it? He had not the slightest interest In Mrs. Horner’s naps—or In her teeih, which were being slightly revealed by the un conscious parting of her lips, as her breathing became heavier. Hoiw long was he going to sit here presiding over this unknown woman’s slumbers? It struck him that to make the picture complete he ought to be shooing flies away from her with a palm-leaf fan. Mrs. Horner’s parted lips closed again abruptly, and became com pressed; her shoulders moved a little, then jerked repeatedly; her small chest heaved; she gasped, and the compressed lips relaxed to a slight contortion, then began to move, whis pering and bringing forth Indistin guishable mutterings. SuddenljffShe spoke In a loud, husky voice: “Lopa is here I” . “Yes,” Eugene said dryly. .“That’s what you said last time. I remember ‘Lopa.’ She’s your ‘control’ I think you said.” ‘Tm Lopa," said the husky voice. •Tm Lopa herself.” “You mean I’m to suppose you’re not Mrs. Horner now?” “Never was Mrs. Horner!” the voice declared, speaking undeniably from .Mrs, Horner’s lips—but with such con viction that Eugene, In spite of every thing, began to feel himself In the presence of a third party, who was none the less an individual, even though she might be another edition of the apparently somnambulistic Mrs. Homer. “Never was Mrs..Horner or anybody but Jast Lopa. Guide.” “You mean you’re Mrs. Horner’s guide?” he asked. “Your guide now,” said the voice with emphasis, to which was incon gruously. added a low laugh. “You came here once before. Lopa remem bers.” “Yes—so did Mrs. Horner.” . Lopa overlooked his implication, and continued quickly: “You build. Build things that go. You came here once and old gentleman on this side, he spoke to you. Same old gentleman here now. He tell Lopa he’s your grandfather—no, he says “father.’ He’s your father.” \ “What’s his appearance?” “How?” “What does he look like?” “Very fine! White beard, but not long beard. He says some one else wants to speak to you. See here. Lady. Not his wife, though. No. Very fine lady! Fine lady, fine lady!” “Is it my sister?” Eugene asked.. “Sister? No. She Is shaking her head. She has pretty brown hair. She Is fond of you. She is some one who knows you very well, but she -is not your sister. She is lvery anxious to say something to you—tery anxious. Very fond of you; very anxious to talk to you. Very glad you came here—oh, very glad!” “What is her name?” “Name,” the voice repeated, and seemed to ruminate. “Name hard to get—always very hard for Lopa. Name. She wants to tell me her name to tell you. She wants you to under stand names are hard to make. She says you must think of something that makes a sound.” Here the voice seemed to put a question to an Invis ible presence and to receive an an swer. “A little sound or a big sound? She says it might be a little sound or a big sound. She says a ring—oh, Lopa knows! She means a bell! That’s It, a beU.” , > Eugene looked grave. “Does she mean her name Is Belle?” “Not quite. Her name is longer.” “Perhaps,” he suggested, “she means •that she was a belle,” “No. She says she thinks you know what she means. • She says you must think of a color. What color?” Again Lopa addressed the unknown, but this time seemed to wait for an answer. “Perhaps she means the color of her eyes?” said Eugene. “No. She says her color is light— it’s a light color and you can see through it.” “Amber?” he said, and was startled, for Mrs. Horner, with her eyes still closed, clapped her hands, and the voice cried out in delight: “Yes! She says you know who she is from amber. Amber! Amber! That’s It! She says you understand what her name Is from a bell anil from amber. She is laughing and waving a lace handkerchief at me be cause she is pleased. She says I have'made you know who it is.” This was the strangest moment of Eugene’s life, because, while it lasted, he believed that, Isabel Amberson, who was dead, had found means to speak to him. Though within ten minutes he doubted it, he believed it then. His.elbows pressed hard upon the table, and, his head between- his hands, he leaned forward, staring at the commonplace figure In the easy- chair. flWhat does she wish to say to me?” ' .. “She Is happy because you know her.

Put into a greased and papered tin and bake in a slow oven nearly three hours. Honey Doughnuts.—The doughnut crock must be well filled at holiday time. Doughnuts made of lioney may be cooked in advance of Christmas, and will keep soft, which ‘.lie sugar ones will not do. Take two eggs, one and one-half cupfuls of honey, one -up- ful of sour milk, three tablespoonfuls of melted shortening, one teaspoonful of soda, three cupfuls of flour sifted with two tenspoonfuls of cream of *nr- tar; add a little salt.

When well mixed, drop by spoonfuls on buttered tins and sprinkle with sugar. A plain white cooky recipe may be divided and a part used with spice nnd fruit, with another part cotored with melted chocolate, and one part left plain, making a variety of cakes from one recipe. m COOKERY FOR THE CONVALES CENT. Economy and variety may perfectly well go together—the better the cook, the greater the economy. Economy means getting full value for the expenditure. whether It Is money or time., In the- majority of homes the care of the sick falls upon the people In the home as one [iSS^'^SSSSSSSai cannot always get a nurse or pay for one. T he greatest care should be taken In the se lection and car*- of food for the sick. Tlie first requisite is cleanliness. The patient should have as much of a variety as possible, as those who are 111 have poor appetites arid tire of sameness in food much sooner than those who ore well. The physician’s orders should al ways be followed and no new food should be introduced without first in quiring as to wisdom of the change. Those recovering from fever have an abnormal appetite which cannot ha satisfied with safety. Many have lost their lives by being allowed some food which was craved, but which the pa tient could not digest. The liquid diet may be varied In such a manner that it never becomes monotonous. In beginning a more solid diet care should be taken to have the change very gradual. Chicken Panada.—Remove the skin nnd every particle of fat from the j breast of a chicken. If. the fowl is a j large one half of the breast will be sufficient. Place in a saucepan with-, enough water to cover and simmer slowly for two hours, or until the meat is very tender. Take it from the broth and cut it into small pieces, then press through a sieve, using a large spoon. ; Adtl the broth to the chicken, season to taste with a bit of salt. Add four tabiespoonfuls of cream and bring to the boiling, point. Serve in a pretty bowl with crisp, bits of toast cut In fancy shapes. Meat Pate.—Scrape with a smnll tin spoon a piece of heef cut from the round. This removes the tender meat fibers and leaves the connecting tissue - which is tough nnd hard to digest.. Press the scraped beef into a flat cake and broil in a smoking hot pan or toast" on a fork over coals. Season it to taste before making it up Into balls. Serve on triangles of toast garnished with parsley. GREEN’S AUGUST FLOWER.
