The inquiry into the particulars of tlie ghastly affair that has horri fied the town of Thomasville is the business of the coarts, and, until liic courts have'passed upon it, for a newspaper to express an opinion upon the merits of the case would be the height of impropriety, Nev ertheless a situation has arisen which has nothing to do with the guilt or innocence of the man in Lexington jail, which existed, in faci, before the murder, and which at least one Thomasville man. Dr. M. L. Kesler, has boldly charged led up to the killing. This situation is the habit, more or less common to every communi ty, of visiting upon the head of an enforcing officer the odium of an unpopular law. Cheif of Police Taylor was venomously hated in Thomasville.. but even his bitterest enemies admit that he was' an ex traordinarily active and energetic officer. Certain people were skepti- cel of the sicerity of his motives, but all admit that he was a hustle-. Coimnon-law crimes within his. ter ritory had become rare;.. satutory offense—at least unauthorized of fenses—had become more dangerous than they had ever been before. But it was not his relentless war fare upon criminals whose1 activity was directed against persons and property that won such hatred for the officer. It was his equally rigor ous enforcement, of the statues reg ulating personal conduct. The'fact that he had been sending to the roads or to the penitentiary a con stant succession of sneak-theives, automobile liffers and-gun and kuife-.figliters tiever- arouse-{against- him any dangerous section of pub- Iict opinion; it was when he began either to cut off entirely, or to monopolize, the liquor supply, and above all when he began to raid private card-parties'that the storm arose. Nor is it difficult to explain. Cen turies ago all men everywhere learned to recognize crimes ageinst the pjrson and against property as unquestionably crimes; but we have never yet been able to inculcate into all minds the idea that crimes a- gainst the statues are necessarily crimes at all, If a man picks your pocket, or steals your. automobile, or sets fire to your house, you'know he is a criminal,- everybody else knows he is a criminal, and most important of all,, he knows he is a criminal, he has definitely and ad mittedly stepped O H t of the rank ot honest men, deliberately and finally listeded himself among the disrepu table element. .Hehasthencefortli no claim to be relied upon' in any thing. But a man who buys and keeps whiskey for his own use or who sits in occasionally in a poker game, although he knows that lie is violating the statutes, is for from regarding himself as a criminal. In fact, if every man who ever violated the prohibition law or-the statutes against gambling were landed be hind the bars, business in this coun try would be paralyzed more com pletely than by a general strike. At the same time, the law is the law, and the officers charged with the duty of enforcing it is not re sponsible for its provisions. Noth ing is more hypocritically unjest than the attitude of the man who sanctimoniously votes for air-tight prohibition, because he is afraid of his wife, or his pastor, and then viilifies the dfficers who attempt to enforce the lkw which he has sup ported in public and violates in pri- '■ate. Such a course weakens re spect for all laws; and men who help to break down the moral of any organization bear the heaviest part of the responsibility for the de- ■eat that will inevitably follow .the collapse of morale.Itisa faithful indictment that _r' Kesler brought, as he' stood W .--a&i over the grave of the dead officer: “It is a compound murder. Every man who aided in weakening or neutralizing his prosecutins of boot leggers, etc,1—every man who criti cised the effort to break up Lombin- es of privileged offenders, all who howled for his destruction because he dared to tackle these untouched offenders are red-handed murderers because the bars of God.” We repeat, we are not in position to judge the accuracy of the doctors' beleif; but we know him well en ough to realize that nothing on earth could induce him to bring such a fearful charge unless he be lieved it with his whole soul. Arid wheth it applies to the Thomasville case or not, it certainly applies to a good many others that have not been brought to the attention of the state in such a lurid light. The increasing habit of giving lip-service to laws which we have no intention of respecting in private, is perhaps the most sinister development of re- cerit'years. It may lead to any thing; and murderous anarchy is by no means beyond the limit of its possibilities.—Greensboro News. Cheer Up! Adverting to conditions estab lished by storms, frost, low prices and tight money, The Statesville Landmark makes the manifestly honest admission that these 1 ‘di- courage gloom,” but it does not en courage the gloomy view. On the contrary, it contends that bad as af fairs now seem, they have been worse with our own people, and whether some croakers will be in clined to admit it, the fact remain?, as stated by our bright-spirited coc- temporary, that “we have had just as bad storms and worse; .we have had flood damage that has been much worse, that frost damage his been as bad or worse many times, that the prices of farm products ■have been lower, and that the pre sent business depression and tight ness of money isn’t a drop in the bncket” compared with what it has been. In short, we are mighty wiell off considering what we might be. Our conditions; seems worse,to us because it is iu contrast with the flush, obnormal times the war period. “Ain’t it so? The Landmark defends a truth which must be admitted, that “we’re doing mighty well to be as -well off as we are; and we are much better off than we deservt to be that we should give thanks instead of putting on the long face and put ting up the poor mouth.”—Char lotte Observer.

An Answer To ‘ Heartfelt Farmer.” Editor Davie.Record:—Please al-: low me space in your valued col umns jn behalf of the -Law and Or der League movement. I am sv member of the League at Cornat- zer. Some few weeks ago a League: was ordanized here. Since that time the water has been boiling' pretty high; so much so that Heart felt Farmer and 'his poor tenant had to pop off or bust. I suppose it is better that he popped off._ The League is sure putting on the presV sure. Had Mr. Heartfelt busted it would only have been his heart for his article shows it could not have' been his head, for if the gray mat ter in his head, if according Io his letter was dynamite,. it would rio.t be sufficient to blow the cap off ia peanut. So much for the head. Iti seems too, that his heart began to get sick of his letter down towanl the bottom arid he got so nervous; he couldn’tsign his name, and ' I don’t blame his poor heart not to let himl However, his article has: been right amusing, but hasn’t giv en any information. Everybody- around the burg knows HeartfellL and his poor tenant, so the letter didn’t'bring any news. T But mayf be some of The Record readers- would be glad to know more about the great reformer. He is a fine: fellow to go to church and sit out; under the shade of the trees on the Sabbath day arid tell the boys how- mean ths preacher is, and how peo*. pie ought to do while the man, of; God is in the house trying to break: the bread, of life to mankind. -He; is also a practical farmer. Not stf much that he likes to work Vhjmf self, lor ire-'jS a'total abStaSieri^^ the tiling you call hard work; but he sure don’t fail to get his paper and get in the shade; roar out at the children while they help poor tenant cut the suckers from his to bacco that was blooming like a flower garden. He does not ob ject to his good wifs doing any kind of hard- work while he reads' and tells people how mean his neighbors are: Of course he don’t drink. He says the kind they make now just makes a man sick and mean, and I feel sure he knows what he is saying from experience, and a selfish fellow don’t want to drink a thing he knows will make him sick enough to send . for Doc. He is also a firm believer iu the people’s rights, that is, if a boot legger sells our /boys sugarhead liquor enough *to cause them to commit all kinds of crime from murder down,- he has a citizen’s right to do so, and that he would not give him any ,trouble but would help him out. He has demonstra ted his stand in helping out in' re cent months; The bootlegger ajid the fellows who hide their deeds know where to go when they have to furnish bonds. But he is migh tily opposed to drinking aud rais ing sand at the church, and he is obliged to stay outside and '. keep order. He is also opposed to these mean people around Cornatcer hold ing these League meetings in the church, for the church is the place to preach the gospel, and his letter inf ers that the gospel has nothing to. say about the objects the Law arid Order League-stands for.-' That is, he knows, a better way than those scriptures touching on tem perance,i5i§£ality and obedience to the laws that exist. Doubtless he has seen Jolfn Barleycorri and got a deeper vision Of the Sacred Book. We now ,come to Poor Tenarit who has been having a very hard; time. Since, leaving the .shuck spreader folks about two years ago with something over $200 iu cash and out of debt. He did well-until last fall when the.surplus gave out and the Iobaccp -SuckerS. didn’t- bring much, he found himself casting a-- .bout for a bacen hog.: He was at that time the owner of a knotty pig worth around 10c. Being a gocd trader he managed to get the pig off on another tenant who now lives near tlie writer, by giving 50c. and part of a day’s work in exchange for a gbod porker. The writer had the privilege of knowing something about the knotty pig at sausage making time. He was some sau sage pig. But that was good trad ing as poor tenant was several dol lars to the good, and charity will take care of the other fellow thru these mean League folks. He had a perfect legal right to cheat the -'old fellow out of his hog, and you know Heartfelt would say he had a xnoral right to do anything under the sun. 'No litbit to a man’s rights. j§o much for the great fellows who tried to set on the fence, but- are sliding off on the liquor side. ' The League-wili spot them all before many moons. Press on, good peo- iple,- the lawless element is feeling the pressure of your efforts. The success.,of our civilization depends upon the people who are standing for law arid order without fear or favor. Let us make Davie county a decent place in which to rear our boys and; girls. The laws are on the statute books. Lend a helping hand to our officers—they need our 'help. I have been reared in this county and Isnow her ways from a boy. I have her interesc'at heart. ! expect to spend the rerrr&idder of Hly short-stay in life all I can in the betterment of humanity. We ifiave the best government on the Ifpp side of the green earth today, arid I feel; that the. last drop of £aucasiau blood that flows through any veins is not too much to give fn36r<tiw-'ti>-maintain it. ■...

Women who bought spring suits at #75 to $80 from Chicago clothiers returned them with the excuse that they had beeii given notice of exor bitant increases in rents, according to the Chicago correspondent of a trade paper. Their husbauds advis ed them to lfuy cheaper suits until they had paid the reut. Thatis the things that hurt busi ness most. People have less to speud because they have to pay more for shelter, shelter in many cases being the biggest single item in a family’s expense. It has to be paid while other things can go, or che.aoer things and fewer of them be bought. The exorbitant landlord hurts ev erything; his activities being so widespread that they do • not stop at injury of the-victim Who pays him rent. So far- from showing a disposition to come down a little, like every body else is willing to do, "he goes steadily up. No matter what hap pens he stays on the crest just as long as he is permitted to ride it and the only thing that will send him down to a reasonable basis is more houses. Business men in the business of selling goods will help themselves in proportion as they help to get houses built. When it does not take more tor rent than for any thing else, women will have money to spend in shops, men. They diis like to have to economize on food and clothing and house furnishings and the semi-luxuries but the ty rant who overchages for four walls and.a roof will not permit anything but economy. They.have no choice. BntiMie is squelched “readjust ment” is going to be-hard. There is only one way to squelch him.

RAIN KEEPS YOTERS AWAY. The Country i« Once More Made- Safe For Democracy—Due to Dodge. The municipal election passed off very quietly iii Mocksville yester day. So far as we have been able to learn no one -was killed or in jured. The Republicans did not have a ticket in the field, and but few of them braved the downpour of rain to get to the polls to vote for their Democratic frieuds. Only about 211 of those registered were interested enough to go to the polls and vote, which speaks mighty bad for the town. We don’t know how much money changed hands as a result of the election, but we saw one merchant who was offer ing to put up $400 against $200 on the “23” ticket. The vote as cast and counted resulted as follows: Jacob Stewart received a majority of 151 votes. Now, boys, let’s all get. together and see if we can help to resurrect and put some new life into the old town, and get her out of the rut. We haven’t said anything so mean about anyone but what we can apologize and take it all back with out the fear of losing a subscriber or an advertiser.

FINANCIERS AND EJCPORTERS M EET TO DISCUSS SITUATION. CREDIT, ON BONfl FiDE SALES Managing Director of War Finance Corporation Promises the Co-op eration of His Department. Atlanta.—The movement to expe dite the export of American cotton took a long step forward in the opin ion of more than one hundred, repre sentative exporters and financiers who discussed the situation with govern ment officials and were promised as great co-operation as possible by Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing dorec- tor of the war finance corporation at Washington. For one thing, Mr. Meyer prom ised to recommend to the corporation that credits be extended on bona fide sales of cotton at interior points for export, instead of while it is at ports as at present. W. L.. Clayton, a cot ton exporter of Houston', Texas, in making a plea for such action, de clared it would “render invaluable aid to exporters.” YEABS ago Castor Oil, Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syraps were the remedies in common use for Infants and Children; Caster Oil so nauseating as to be almost impossible and the others all containing ,Opium M one form or another, but so disguised as to make them pleasant to the taste, yet really to stupify the: child and give the appearance of relief from pain. j It required years of research to find a purely vegetable combination that would take the place of these disagreeable, unpleasant and vicious remedies that; from habit had become almost universal. This was the inception of^ and the reason for, the introduction of Fletcher’s Castoria, and for over 30 years it has proven its worth, received the praise of Physicians everywhere and become a household word among mothers. A remedy ESPECIALLY prepared for Infants and Children and no would think of giving to her baby a remedy that she would use for herself without consulting a physician.

If You Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that bo many products that are ex tensively advertised, all at once drop out of-sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain—the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says “Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in' almost every case it- shows excellent re sults, as many of my. customers testify. No other kidney remedy-has so large a sale." ' According to sworn 'statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that, it fulfills al most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver > and bladder ailments; corrects uri nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post.

Hugh (BuH-Bog) Drummond, a retired oflicer, advertises for work that will give him excitement, signing "X10." As a result he meets Phyl lis Benton, a young woman who answered his ad.

"Compressed-air rifle—or electric,” lie muttered to himself, stumbling on, and lialf dragging, half carrying his dazed companion. He was not very clear in his own mind ivhat to do next, but the mat ter was settled for him unexpectedly. Barely hail he got into the drawing room, when the door opened and the girl rushed in. “(let him away at once,” she cried. “In your car. . . . Don’t waste a second. I’ve started her up.” “Good girl.” he cried enthusiastical ly. “But wlmt about you?" SIie stamped her foot impatiently. ‘Tm all right—absolutely all right. Get him away—that’s all that mat ters." Drummond grinned. “The humor ous tiling is that I haven’t an idea who the bird is—Except that—" He paused, with his eyes fixed on the man's left thumb. The top joint was crushed into a red,' shapeless pulp, and suddenly the meaning of the in strument Lakington had produced from his pocket became clear. Also the reason of that dreadful cry at dittner. . . . “By God!” whispered Drummond half to himself, while his jaws set like a steel vise. “A thumbscrew. The devils . . . the swine . . .” “Oh! quick, quick," the girl urged in an agony. “They may be here at any moment.” She dragged him to the door, and together they forced the man into the car. “Lakington won’t," said Hugh with a grin. “And if you see him tomor row—don’t ask after his jaw. . . .

ONE Hugh Drummond folded up the piece'of paper he was studying and rose to his feet as the doctor came into the room. He then pushed a sil ver box of cigarettes across the table and waited. “Tour friend,” said the doctor, “is in a very peculiar condition, Captain Drummond—very, peculiar. Can you enlighten me at all as to what he has been doing during the last few days?” Drummond shook Ills head. “Haven’t an earthly, doctor.” “There is, for 'instance,- that very unpleasant wound in his thumb,” pur sued the other. “The top joint is crushed to a pulp.” “I noticed that last night,” answered Hugh noncommittally. “Looks as if it had been mixed up between a ham mer and an anvil, don’t it?” “But have you no idea how it oc curred?” ‘Tm full of ideas,” said the sol dier. “In fact, if it’s any help to you in your diagnosis that wound was caused by the application of an-un pleasant medieval instrument known as a thumbscrew.” The worthy doctor looked at him in amazement. “A thumbscrew! You must be joking. Captain Drummond.” “Very far from it,” answered Hugh briefly. “If yon want to know, it wns touch and go whether the other thumb didn’t share the same fate.” He blew out a cloud of smoke and smiled inwardly as he noticed the look of scandalized horror on his compan ion’s face. “It isn’t his thumb that concerns me,” he continued; “It’s his general condition. What’s the matter with him?” The doctor pursed his lips and looked wise, while Drummond won dered that no one had ever passed a law allowing men of his type to be murdered on sight. ■ “His heart seems' sound,” lie an swered after a weighty pause, “and I found nothing wrong with him con stitutionally. In fact, I may say, Captain Drummond, he is In every respect a most healthy man. Except —er—except for this peculiar condi tion.” Drummond exploded. “Damnation take it, man, what on earth do you suppose I asked you to come round for? It’s of no interest to toe to hear that his liver is working properly.” Then he controlled himself. “I beg: your' pardon, doctor; I had rather a trying evening last night.' Can you give me any idea as to what lias caused this peculiar condition?” His companion accepted the apology with an acid "bow. “Some form of drag,” he answered. Drummond. heaved a sigh of relief. “Now we’re getting on," he cried. “Have you any idea what drug?” “It is,, at the moment, hard to say,” returned the other. “In a day or two, perhaps, I might be able to—^r—ar-. rive at some exclusion . . ..” “Which, at present, you have not. Right; now we know wlierewe are. As you don’t know what the drug: Is, presumably you don’t know either how long It will take for, the effect to wear off.” “That—er—is, within limits, cor rect,” conceded the doctor. “What about diet?” • “O h! light.: i . . Not too much m eat . . N o alcohol . . .” He rose to his feet as. Hugh opened the door; really-the war seemed to have produced a distressing effect on people’s manned. .Diet ,was. the' one question on which he always'let him self go. “Not much meat—no alcohol. Right Good morning, doctor. Down the stairs and ' straight oh." Good morn ing,” The' door closed behind him,, and he descended to his waiting car with cold disapproval on his face. “Excuse me, • sir.” The doctor paused: and eyed /a well-dressed man who Tiad spoken to him uncompro misingly. “Am I. right in assuming that you are a doctor?”“ Ton are perfctly correct, sir, In; -your-assumption.” - - The man smiled; obviously, a gen tleman, thought the practitioner, with his hand on the door of his car. “It’s about- a great pal' of mine. Captain- Drummond, who lives In here," went on the other, “I hope you won’t think it unprofessional, but I thought Td ask you privately, how you find Ijim," . The doctor looked surprised. “Cap tain Drummond, so far as I am aware, has never been better; I—er—cannot say the same of his friend.” He stepped Into his car. “Why, not go up and see for yourself?" The car rolled smoothly Into Pic cadilly, but the man showed no signs of availing himself of the doctor’s suggestion. He turned and walked rapidly away, and a few moments later —in an .exclusive West End club—- a think call was put through to Godalming—a call which caused the recipient to nod his head in satisfac tion and order the' Rolls-Royce. . Meanwhile, unconscious of this sud den solicitude for his health, Hugh Drummond was once more occupied With the piece of paper he had been studying on the doctor's entrance. Beyond establishing the fact that the man In the peculiar condition was Hiram C. Potts, the American multi millionaire, he could make nothing out of it. “If only I’d managed to get the whole of i t ” he muttered to himself for the twentieth time. “That dam' fellah PeterShn was too-quick.” The scrap he had torn , off was typewrit ten, save for the American’s scrawled signature, and Hugh knew the words by heart plete paralysis ade of Britain months I do the holder of of five million do desire and earl necklace and the are at present chessofLam-p k no questions btalned. AM. C. POTTS. At length he replaced the scrap In his pocket-book and rang the bell. "James,” he remarked as his serv ant came In: “You’d better know that as far as I can' see we’re up against a tough proposition.” “Indeed, sir,” murmured his servant: “The gentleman is asking for- you, sir.” Mrs. Denny’s voice from the door made them look round. Hugh walked quickly along the pass age to the room where the. million aire, lay In bed. “How are you feeling?” said Drum mond cheerfully. The man stared at him uncompre- hendipgly, and shook his head. . “Do you remember last night?” Hugh continued, speaking very slowly and distinctly. Then a sudden idea struck him and he pulled the sejrap of paper out of his case. “Do you re member signing .that?” ' For a while the man looked at it; then with a sudden cry of fear he shrank away. “No, no,” he muttered, not again.” Hugh hurriedly replaced the paper. “Bad break on my part, old bean; you evidently remember rather too well. It’s quite all right,” Be continued re assuringly; “No oiie will hurt you.” Then after a pause—“Is your name Hiram C. Potts?” , The man tiodded.his head, doubtful ly and muttered “Hiram Potts” once or twice, as if the words- sounded familiar.. “Do yon remember driving In ’ a motor car last night?’-’ persisted Hugh. But what little flash of remem brance had pierced the drug-clouded brain seemed", to have passed; the man only stared dazedly at the speak er. Dnimmohd tried him with a few more questions, but-it was no. use, and after'a while he got up and moved toward the door. “Don’t you worry, old son,” he said with a smile. • “We’ll have you'jump ing about like a two-year-old In a couple of days.” ' Then he paused-; the man was evi dently trying to say-something. “What is it you want?”, HUgh leant -over the bed. “Danger, - danger.” Faintly the words came, and then, with a sigh,, he lay back exhausted. With a grim smile Drummond watched, til'e motionless figure. “I’m afraid,” • he said half. aloud, “that yon’re rather like your medical attendant Your only contribution to the sphere of pure knowledge is something I know already.” ■ . . He went 'out- and quietly closed the. door. Andias he re-entered his sit ting-room he found Iiis servant stand ing motionless behind one of the Cur tains watching'the street below. “ “There’s a man, sir,” he- remarked* without turning around, “watching the house.” For a moment Hugh /stood still, frowning. Tlien he gave a short Iangh. . “The devil there is!” he re marked., “The game . has begun in earnest my worthy-warrior; \vith the first nine points to us.

At- twelve- o’clock precisely the bell rang, announcing a visitor, and Drum mond looked up, as his servant came into.the room. .* “Yes, James,” he remarked, “I think we are at home. I want you to remain within call, and under no cir cumstances' let our sick visitor out of your sight for more than a minute. In fact, I think you’d better sit In his room.” James, with a . cu rt1 "Very good, sir,” left the room. Almost at once he returned, and flinging open the door, announced Mr. Peterson. Drummond looked up quickly and rose with a smile. “Good morning,” be cried.' “This Is a very pleasant surprise, Mr. Peter son.” He waved his visitor to a chair. “Hope you’ve had no more trouble .with your car.” Mr. Peterson drew off his gloves, smiling amiably. “None at all, thank you, Captain Drummond. The chauf feur appears to have mastered the defect.” . “It was your eye on him that did ,it. Wonderful tiling—the human optic, as I said to your friend, Mr. —Mr. Lakington.„I hope that he’s quite !fell and Iaking nourishment." “Soft food only,” said the otlier genially. “Mr. Lakington had a most unpleasant accident last night—most unpleasant.” - , Hugh’s face expressed his sympa thy. “How very unfortunate I” he murmured: “I trust , nothing serious.” “I fear his lower jaw was fractured in two places.” Peterson helped him self to a- cigarette from ^the box be side #him. “The man who hit him must have been a boxer.” “Mixed up in a brawl, was . he?” said Drummond, shaking Ms head. “I should never have thought, from what little I’ve seen of Mr. Lakington, that he went in for painting the town redi Td have put him down as a most abstemious man—but one never can tell, can one? I once knew a fellah who used to get fighting drunk' on three whiskies, and to look at him, you’d have put him down as a parson. Wonderful amount of cheap fun that chap got out of life.” Peterson flicked the ash from his cigarette into the grate. “Shall we come to the point Captain .Drum mond?” he remarked affably. Hugh looked bewildered. ■ “The point, Mr. Peterson? Er—by all man ner of means." * Peterson smiled even*more affably.' “I felfcertain that you were a young man of discernment,” he remarked, “and I wouldn’t like to keep you from your paper a minute longer than nec essary.” “Not a bit," cried Hugh. “My time is yours.—though I’d very much like to know your real opinion of The Juggernaut for the Chester cup. It 'seems, to me that he cannot afford to give Sumatra seven pounds on their form up to date.” “Are you Interested in gambling?” asked Peterson politely. “A mild flutter, Mr. Peterson, every now. and then,” returned Drummond. “Strictly limited stakes.” “If you confine yourself to that you will come to .no harm,” said Pe- terson. “It is when the stakes be come unlimited that the danger of a crash becomes unlimited too.” . “That is what my mother always told me,” remarked Hugh. “She even went further, dear good woman that* she was. ‘N'ever bet except on a cer tainty, my boy,' was her constant ad vice, ‘and then put your shirt on I’ I can hear her saying it now, Mt, Peterson, 'with the golden rays of the setting. sun ’ lighting Up her sweet face.” Peterson leant forward in his. chair. “Young man,” he remarked, “we’ve got to understand one another.' Last night you butted In on my plans, and I do not like people who do that. By an act which,1 I must admit, appealed to me greatly, you removed something I require—something, moreover, which. I intend to have. Breaking the elec tric bulb with a revolver shot shows resource and initiative. The blow that smashed Henry Laklngton’s Jaw in two places shows strength. - AU qualities which I admire, Captain Drymmoml— admire greatly. I 'should dislike hav ing to deprive the world of those qual ities.” Dramwond gazed at the speaker open-mouthed. “My. dear sir,” he pro tested feebly, “you overwhelm me. Are you really accusing me. of being a sort'of wild west show?” He wag gled^ finger at Peterson. “You know you've been to the movies too much, like iii,v -fellah, James. He’s got re volvers and tilings on the brain.” Peterson’s face was absolutely im passive; save for a.slightly tired smile it was expressionless. “Final ly, Captain Drummond.- you tori. In half a -piece of paper which I re quire—and removed a very: dear old friebd' of..my. family, who Is now In this house. -I. want them both, back, please, arid If you like I’ll take them now.” - . .. j Drummond shrugged his shoulders resignedly; “There is something about I you,- Mr. Peterson,” he murmured, “which I like. So masterful, so-com pelling, so unruffled. I feel sure— when you have finally disabused-your mind" of this absurd hallucination— that we shall become real frien.ds, "Tell me, why did you allow this scoundrel. to . treat you In such an offhand manner?" / ‘Unfortunately a bullet intended for him just missed,” answered Peter son casually. “A pity—^because there would have been no trace of him by now.” ■ “Might be awkward for you,” mur mured Hugh. “Such methods, Mr. Peterson, are Illegal, you know. May I offer you a drink?” Peterson declined courteously. “Thank Jou—not at this hour;” Then he rose. “I take it, -then, that you will not return me my property here and now-’ “Still the same delusion, I see!” re marked Hugh with a smile. “Still the same delusion," repeated Peterson. “I shall 'be ready to re ceive both the paper and the man op "You're Such an Aggressive Youny Man, Captain Drummond—and, I Fear, Not Very Tactful." till six o'clock tonight at 32A Berners street; and it Ijs possible, I might even say probable, should they turn up by then, that I shall not find it neces sary to kill you.” Hugh grinned. “Your kindly for bearance amazes me,” he cried. .. “Should they not arrive by then, I shall be put to the inconvenience of taking them, and.in that case—much as I regret it—you may have to be killed. You’re- -such an aggressive young man. Captain Drummond—and, I fear, not very tactful.” He spoke regretfully, drawing on his gloves; then as he got to the door he paused. ‘Tm. afraid that my words will not have much effect,” he remarked, “but the episode last night did appeal to me. I would like to spare you—I would really. lt’$. a sign of weakness, my young friend,' which I view with amazement—but nevertheless, it is there. Se be warned In time. Return my property to Berners street, and leave England for a few months.” His eyes seemed to burn Into the'soldier’s brain. “You are meddling in affairs?” lie went on gently, “of the danger of which you have no conception; A fly in the gear-box of a motor-car would be a ‘ sounder proposition for a life lnsnrance thiin you will be-*-if you continue on your present course.” “Where have you hidden Potts?” (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Jj DIFFERENT IN THEIR MAKEUP Boys Together, John Burroughs and Jay Gould Were as Wide Apart ' . as the. Poles. One poignant recollection John Bur roughs had of Jay Gould as boy and man, he spoke of In this way ; “I was large and strong, while Jay was small and slippery. A boy taught us to wrestle, but Jay would break his hold and land on top. I would say: ‘Jay, that Isn’t fair,’ but he would only laugh. Not wanting to be thrown, he resorted to tricks, and because I was indulgent, would wrestle with no one else. He went away to an academy and, when he returtiert, his fatlier had sold his land and bought a village tin- shop. Jay got in with a man and made maps. By and by he left that part of. the country and, our lives being no longgr parallel, I never spoke to him after that, although I' saw him twice. “One-day while I was custodian of a vault at the national treasury In Washington I heard a familiar vn*ce. Looking up from my desk,-I saw .fay Gould, dark and thin and wiry as ever, - and even then one of the richest m en in the United States. . He hadn’t ob served me, and I said nothing.” His Method.

' “Some folks do like to put on airs .in talkin’.” ,“No, I don’t figure it out dat way,” said the other. “I kinder thinks he. uses ' them big words because he’s afraid dat if people knew what he was talkin’ \about they’d know he didn’t know what lie was talkin’ about.”— Harper’s Magazine..

There was a sad accident near Cooleemee last Thursday. Two of Hiram Spry’s sons went out in a field, and the oldest one had a gun on his shoulder.

Lainds were badly washed and thousands of dollars of damage done. Depot street came near wash ing away in some places. At least three inchesof rain fell. -For awhile it looked like the storm was going to assume cyclonic proportions.

In some ways these animals are better suited to the coun try than ponies—they are tougher and do not contract horse sickness as easi ly, writes Llewelyn Powers In the New York Evening Post. I The particular mule which I rode was distinguished by having the most [vicious temper of any animal I have ever known. It was quite impossible ,to saddle it unless I put a twitch on ■its nose. I had to carry one on the !end of my klboko all the time. I As soon as ever It saw me approach .with the saddle it would .give a se- irles of the most horrible squealing screams and begin kicking and kick ing like the very devil. Sometimes .it would ]t>e in so villainous a mood ;that, besides the twitch, I would have •to get a boy to hold up one of its ,front legs. However, It would give ;me no more trouble when I was once !Sn the saddle, and It 'seemed quite ‘Indifferent as to the length of the !journey I took, never appearing to be )in the least tired. ] Every time I heard It begin scream. ;Ing I used to say to myself: “What 'a devilish-son-^f-a-gun you are, wlth- ',out a single redeeming point. I can Tnever feel anything but hostility'to such an ill-natured brute.” ■ Well, do you know, before I had !seen the last of it I felt altogether rent. 'And this is how it came The mnle was a mare, and when I not riding would run out on the veldt with, the'other horse inares of the farm. It was the business of an 'old Swahili to look after them and Jsee that they were driven back to the ,stockade every night.. j This boy - came running to me ,one ,evening with a look of absolute !amazement on bis face,' to say tbat mule had a foal. Now, by the of nature I knew it was lmpos- for mules to breed. So after id listened to his story I simply bim that he was a liar. He went very chagrined at this, swear- ; that he was speaking the truth. Presently I heard the clatter of Indicating the approach of the is driven toward the homestead 'by the old SwahllI at the appointed [bour. I went out to watch them pass, [and while they were still some way joff saw to my utter astonishment a illtle creature tottering by. the side of Jthe mule. However, when they came ,'nearer still It became obvious that It ‘was the foal of one of the mares. , Under the urge of the maternal Id- t the mule bad Mriven the mare and was now proposing to moth- the little thing, although of course > had no milk whatever to give It !I- drove them all Into a large yard [and with difficulty got tbe mare and :fonl together again. I On that occasion I was pretty an- inoyed. J “Evil brute,” I thought; “playing fool with the mare like that” New Sports for France. Thrilling, to say the least, If not sanguinary, is the latest sport taken up by the sporting element of France, when they pit two cocks to gether, not to see which will kill, but to see which will outcrow the other In given time. A cock according to the figures of the sport, will crow on an average of 60 times per hour, but when trained for competition will go well over the hundred mark In an hour, which Is the time set for the contests. Competing birds are shut up In a w dark coop and fed on millet and chopped beef weiS saturated with wine and beer. . The lowness-of the roof o* the coop -.will keep the cock from stretching his neck to crow and when is released for the contest he will be all ready to make up for lost time. Matches are made for side bets and huge sums of money are wagered on the results of such a contest. Don't Take to Baseball. Baseball has long been recognized I the sport most Intimately assort ed with the Stars and Strlpgs, and while baseball is by long odds the. Betelgeuse of the sport firmament In America, there are numberless stare 3 suns of lesser magnitude whose advocates are counted by hundreds oi thousands. America has succeeded In introduc ing many American customs' and pas- ies into the lands that have ceme der her banner.

Among my patients at the dispen sary In Teheran was a small boy with a charming and Impudent face, writes Jfary W. Grtscom In Asia Magazine. He wore the sleeves and part of the back of a coat and enough of a pair of loose trousers to hitch up with both hands occasionally. When I asked him where he lived, he said, “Anywhere.” At every question he simply shrugged his shoulders, un clasped bis hands and repeated, “Who knows?” The nnrse thought he was five. One of the patients guessed eight. But I Insisted that so much philosophy could not have been ,de veloped under 10, and, since he had his 12-year molars, I put him down at that age. He refused to 'remain In any permanent shelter and pre ferred to Uve like a little gypsy. ’ He had contracted typhus on the street and recovered on the street. One of the members of the Near East com mission had referred him to -me be cause of some ugly sores on his head. He improved steadily, under the treat ment, but begged me to give him .the medicine instead of making him come to the dispensary. But I knew he would, gamble tbe medicine away and Insisted that he come for a dressing every other day. At the Persian New Tear, when It was already growing warm, he appeared with a heavy felt cap, a new coat and an overcoat, which he said his employer had given him; for he boasted of being it labor ing man. His pay was a quarter of a cent a day and his food,, a flap of bread. When his head was cured and the bandages removed, he lamented loudly and rushed off, dragging back by the hand the member of the com mission who bad brought him to me and begging tearfully and eloquently to have bis beautiful bandages again. Day after day he returned and begged for his bandages. Finally I learned tbat In the Intervals between working In the tobacco shop for a; quarter of a cent a day, he had lucrative employ ment as a beggar—and-the bandage gave him pathetic distinction. Horse-Raising States. Ninety per cent of the 25,000,000 horses and mules In the United States are on farms, nnd only about 10 per cent are In cities, towns, villages and other non-agrlcultural work, according to advance figures of the 1020 census. It is natural that the. ten central Btates of the -great corn-belt—Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kan sas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and the two Dakotas—where coarse grains are raised In plenty, should be'the great reservoir of Iiorse and mnle produc tion. rearing approximately threei- fifths of all the horses and mules In the country. The farmers of this section produc ing horses and mules, supply their own needs, furnish, work stock for adjoin ing farms where horses and mules are not reared, also the heavy drafters, wagon horses and expressers wanted In cities, towns and villages, and the farm chunk.s for eastern states where horse and mule production is not so .common. Tricks In All Trades. . Notwithstanding the efforts at li brarians at the Central library to co operate with school teachers In keep ing reviews of classics out of the hands of high school pupils, who have dis covered that required classics need hot be read if one only can get one’s bands on reviews, the pupils- contrive In some Instances to ^get ,the books that mean shortcuts in their courses. All of which explains, according to librarians, why the Edinburgh Beview was among the library’s .‘'best, sellers" last week. A Shortrldge pupil discov ered a synopsis and comments on “Marmion” and "Lady of . the Lake" In some dusty volume of tb£ Edinburgh paper published In 1800. Other pupils were “tipped off" and -so the-Edin burgh Bevlew became suddenly popu lar.—Indianapolis News. Home-Having Hearts :Are Best. ’ A bride with a house is a bride worth having In Berlin, the London Mail declares, and matrimony has boomed for bouse owneresses. Not even during the war! years were there as many marriages as last year. Dur ing 1911 Berlin registers showed 37,798 marriages, while 58,691 took place In 1020. One of the chief attractions of mar riage is the certainty of-getting a house, for the authorities give the bride and bridegroom preference''over ordinary people, and a bachelor, anx ious to settle- down, finds that even In expensive Berlin married .life with a home of your own is cheaper than ho tel--and restaurant life.

Dangerous Work Done by Females In' Africa, While Men Run Smelters • Above Ground. Not far from the OU river In Togo- Jand, Africa, there is a hill from which iron is mined by tbe natives. • The miners live In the nearby town of Ban- JeH- .. ,This town, which • is the center of the Iron industry of the district. Is far different In appearance from any Iron town we in this country ever saw.' JLt Is nothing more than.a little collection of buts. These huts are not made of wood. They are constructed In the “beehive” form familiar to African travelers. They are circular at the base, much iike tubs, up to the lielght of a man's head, then they run together—like the tops of circular tents—at a goodly height. The iron ore, as we have said, is mined from the neighboring hill. The mine is about 1,600 feet up the hill side. There Is no machinery to take out the ore. It is "grubbed but” with a curious kind of hoe-shaped tool, and these hoes are worked) not by men, but by women. Into the dirty, dangerous shafts the women miners go at dawn and work until darkness .comes. With them they sometimes take their babies, because there Is no place to leave them. The' work is hard and hazardous. The shafts are not shored with scien tific care. Sometimes a shaft fails In and the workers in that shaft are crushed. The native owners take all the precautions they know how to take, but these are very few. Persistent Inquiry reveals the fact that the women do not work In the mines from choice to win high pay. They are slaves, at least they were slaves very recently, and nothing has come to our attention since to prove them otherwise. But the eager in quirer is carefully informed they are only “partly slaves.” That Is, the women, are “signed on" for a period of years, not a lifetime. Presided over by the owner, a fairly well educated native, chief, the mines of Banjeli turn out the ore. The smelters In the village—run by men— melt It.—Temple . Manning in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Costumes of the Valleys. In some parts of the Black Forest, writes Mrs. Alfred Sidgwick. in her book “Home Life In Germany,” every valley has Its own costume, so that you know where a man lives by the clothes he wears. .There Is a valley where all the girls 'are pretty, and on festive oc casions or for church they wear charming, transparent black caps with wings to them. There is another val ley where the men are big-boned and black-a-vised, with square, shaven chins and spare bodies, rather like the English legal type; and they go to church In scarlet breeches, long black velvet coats and- black three- cornered hats. Their women-folk wear gay-colored skirts and mushroom hats loaded with heavy pompons. In- Cas- sel there are very curious costumes to be seen still on high days and holi days; from Berlin people go to the5 Spreewald to see the Wendish peas ants; and In Bavaria there Is still some color and variety of costume. But everywhere you hear that these costumes are dying out. The new generation does not care to label it self. Illustrating Time’s Change. The gift of ?20,000 by the Hudson’s Bay company to McGill university rer cently emphasizes the changed atti-. tude of the old fur corporation toward civilisation. Time was when it knew no university but the wilderness and no business but furs. . : Chartered In the days of Charles IL, the company’s history for 200 years was the history of western Canada. Beginning with the' first posts on Hud son bay, It came In time to be absolute lord'of three-fourths of'Nprth America. The company’s contribution to Mc Gill university is its recognition: of the fact that education is the corner stone of national prosperity. It might have been content to remain a- mon arch of the wilderness. But it has broadened Its horizon and is now throwing its vast energies and re sources into the work of developing Canada. .Sassafras Popular. The sassafras still holds its own as a world flavor producer. As well as Its taste, Its perfume inhaled when leaves are crushed In the fingers, makes the biish worth singling out It i s ' the only shrub In northeastern United States which has three pat terns for its leaves, not . having decid- ed which to adopt.

I do not desire to take any per sonal credit for the plan which I suggested to Mr. Bruce Craven, of Trinity, for selling the first issue of $10,000,000 of- the North Caralina road bonds. I am sure'that it is re^ cognized by ali as a copy of the methr od used by our federal government in placing all our. liberty bonds I am not also sure. that the samp method lias been -thought of bv many North Carolinians .as . the most practical method of providing the money with which to start our road program. There are now in North Carolina over 130,000 automobiles, several tbPUsaud trucks and more than tboiisand dealers in au tomobiles and accessories. In addition to these there are probably. 10,000 filling stations in North Carolina. All of the owners of these cars and trucks and1 all oif the men wlio are interest- these garages, accessory shops ^hd. fining stations;are ot one mjnd ^ to imnfediate action. ' .'. ;, V- T '.i!.wc)tijd suggest' th a tthfe state highway com mission and the coun- cil of^state appoint a director of5 a yanjpaign-for the sale of these boii'ds to the people, and provide him with sufficient’ help to' put on a campaign _oi io days, say from the' 20th day of June .to the 30 day of June. Or ganise every county in the state. Make’-eveiy bank and trust com pany in the state an agent for hand ling the bonds., Organize in every -township a -campaign, committee. •Request every cwnSr of an automo bile to subscribe-for one $100. bond every .owner of a truck, two $rbo ,bonds:, every garage, from three to :t(f$ipo bonds; and every accessory shop onefioo bond; and every fill ing station, one $100 bond. Ask each subscriber for 10 per cent with tfie subscription. Require a pay-: ment of 10 per cent on the first dayvo'f.’each month after the first !dayijuly.., Date the bonds Noveni^ Jbler rg21 ./'peliver them, to the as'Jfer their order. Agree witli-.iiie banks that all of the mon-' ^ i^ id is .on -tbe^e jiqnds shall re main with'the state highway com mission. : The state IilghWay commission is provided by the act of 1921 with $250,000.for expenses. .It should be .able to find .£ Tew .'dollars with wlriehjtq dpyer. the-.cost'pf this coin- paign. Eyefy“person whp would be re quested to subscribe coiitd-without doubt pay 10 per cent with his sub scription and 10 per cent per month which :in the case of a-$100 subs criber would be only $10 cash and $ib~ ^per hionlh.: This schedule Would pay put on April 1,1922, or n nine months. That will make it possible'for every inan approach- ed to subscribe... Out of- a possible safe of 20o,oao tfcnds on .the basis suggested above we should be able tO feach a 56 per cent' subscription or a subscription for xoo.ppo fipnds of $100 each or total subscription of l$io,ci)o,ooo.

'Moreover they know what good roads mean to the banks and trust companies of North. Carolina—the same that they mean to every class, of business, in ;the state. Ou the first day of May 1922 .the state would pay to these subscrib ers—all North Carolina—$250,000 in interest. On the first day of November 1922, the state would pay to her sons and daughters a- nother $25,000 interest item. That would keep, the money:, at home. Let us do like the life insurance companies of our state; persuade our people to keep our money at home. We can do it. We are big enough and 'indepen dent enough of New- York- to do this thing.. If we do it New York will sit up and, take notice. The bankers and bond brokers of . that city will have a great respect for us greater than' they.; have how, and certainly more than they will have if we pay them as much ; as Se veil- per cent to nine per cent for a tempo rary loan. - This campaign: will do more for good roads in North Carolina, than simply providing $10,000,000 with which to start business. It will a-, rouse among the people abiding in- terest ihth’e prog^ani f01-5,500 miles ofhard-surfade' roads. Let.us tell New. York whiere to get off. Moreover, let us tell the few bankers in- this state if ithere be any such; among us, who would like to loan, money to the state at from seven per cent to 10 per cent , where to get. off. We are able,cap able, independent and free. Let us demonstrate it to ourselves and the world., Let us do this thing, afld do it quick.—J. AUen Austin,, in Greensboro News.- ' !

MUllican who seems to be on the inside of the movements of the State High way Department recommended very strongly to the County Road Board Tuesday that action be taken at once to secure a hard-surface road froin Whitaker’s Graveyard to Mocksviile and if the co-operation of the town could be secured to ex tend same thru town to the over head bridge on the Salisbury Road. The proposition that Engineer Mullican put to the Local Road Board was this: The county to go into a coutract with the State High ■ way Commission to buy a sufficient amount of highway bonds from the State to build this particular road provided the State would go ahead at once to construct the road. Then the buying of these State bonds was that the State bonds be used as col lateral for a short term note with which to secure the money to pay for the bonds. Thcnassaonasthe bo: d market gets good the State bond owned by the county could be placed on the market and sold and pay off the obligation inclined in buying the bonds. In this way the county would be out of nothing but the difference in the interest rate that the State bonds draw and that which the county might have to pay at present to secure the money. Mullican thinks the plan perfectly practical and feasible and if such is tlie case lie lias opened up a way by which the county and also the town can secure a section of hard- surfaced road with very little cost to the people of this county. Engineer Mullican and Attorney Grant were authorized to go to Ral eigh in the very near future and see what could be done in putting the plan through. It was also decided that the matter should be taken up with the town and if their co-opera tion could be secured to finance the part thru town in the same manner then the County Board would sign the contract with the State for the entire improvement. Mullican ex plained that this was the Only meth od by which it could be worked in view of tlie fact that the State High way Conimissioii was not empower ed to make contracts with munici palities but it could be handled by the county dealing with the State and the town make its contract with the county. This seems to be au opportune time for the city fathers to get busy aud show what type of admiiiistra tion the people of Mocksviile can expect for the next two years. Farmington News. The rumor has gone out of a small pox scare In Farmington. This has been very much exaggerated. There is no smallpox in Farmington and has not been. The excitement started from the cases in Jamestown which have been confined to Mr. Sant. Cor dells family and a family of colored folks. Our county physician has as sured us that we may continue with all public gatherings without endan gering the people The majority of the people have b--en vaccinated a- gainst further spreading the disease. The Memorial services.held'at the Baptistchurch by the Farmington community were interesting and wall attended. A program of appropriate music was given by the young people consisting of choruses and a dnet by Margaret Brock and Elva Williams. Interesting talk's were made by prof Brower, of Clemmons, an'd Revs. Vestal and Hall. Plaus were discuss ed to effect a permenent organization to perpetuate the auuab Memorial service at Formington. The ceme- tary had been cleaned off arid the grave were beautifully decorated. The High1 school Baseball team played the Cana town team Friday afternoon.

AU Shades Appearing in the New Suits Are Duplicated in the Lacy Decoration. To be becpmingly veiled aids a woman greatly in being smartly dressed. The’selection of a veil Is as important as the choice of any other article of dress, especially so. since the right veil enhances a woman’s beauty to no inconsiderable extent, while one that is not becoming will accentuate the smallest defect. Wom en have come to realize this and spend ever so much time and delib eration in purchasing these bits of flattering attire. The veil is scarcely a matter of season, yet at this time of the year its vogue is particularly pronounced —and no spring toilette appears com plete when it is absent. This season women are evincing an extraordinary amount of enthusiasm over veils, due to the fact that there is such great variety in color, shape and imsh. All the shades appearing in the new suits and dresses are duplicated In veils, although brown, gray and black predominate. Just as two shades ap pear in a dress, so we find different colors in a single veil. The body or main portion may be of chiffon and have a trimming of Shetland mesh in a contrasting hue, or it may be that of a Russian mesh of one color com bined with Shetland in a decidedly contrasting hue. Then again, a woven dot or design may be of opposite tint from the veil itself. The uniting of different colors Ond materials In a veil is especially appar ent in those for motoring, yachting and traveling. Tliese are, of course, of the long qnd flowing variety. An THE FRENCH WALKING SUIT FASHIONS FOR THE KIDDIES An attractive tailored hat of Milan straw, trimmed with a moire band and streamers. ’ import just arrived in this country is of chiffon with a square pfece of.rilk Shetland inserted in the front. NOTES ON SPRING TOGGERY Wrap frocks promise to be very popular for street wear. Square capes are added to the many attractive models being shown for spring. * Paris hats for spring feature plumes which sweep to the shoulder or fall to the waist. For sport and morning wear, spring styles like best checked and striped materials. Satin and crepe de chine are almost equally popular as fabrics for the new spring hats. Novelties In collar and sleeve treat ments are important features of many of the spring styles. Clustered grapes, trailing feathers and upturned wings are all found on spring’s smart millinery. Contrasting colors and fabrics are combined in a charming manner for many of the new1 spring capes. A smart new sport coat of navy velours is made with raglan sleeves and has the pockets and the button holes bound with white. Spring evening frocks are contem plating the return to the longer skirt. In many cases (he longer effect is at tained by means of hems of lace and draperies of transparent tulle. A smart new. dinner dress is fash ioned of black chiffon over an accor- dlon-plaited underskirt of blaclc satin. The frock is trimmed with plaited black cire ribbon., TAILORED LINGERIE IS CHIC CHARGE MURDEB OF STEPMOTHER Seventeen-Year-Old Girl Accused of Strangling Widow of Her Father. DISPUTE OVER ESTATE This is a walking suit of marine blue, the coat of which is decorated with English, embroidery.. Plain Tops to Chemise, Nightgowns, Slips and Camisoles Now the Favorite Style. There is a penchant for plain, or tailored, tops to chemises, night gowns, slips and camisoles. This fype of garment agrees in simplicity with the slim, boyish figure which still prevails In “the vogue of youthful ness.” Occasionally these plain hems, or casings, are edged with strips of flat insertion, which does not detract from the “correctness” of Uie garment’s character, yet makes it piquantly feminine. Through the plain casings are usually run delicate ribbons of soft pastel shades, and a novel note echoes the color of the ribbon In pip ings around hems and along seams. Peach, apricot, rose, French blue, lavender and golden yellow are the colors that enliven the pale fabrics from which lingerie is developed. Seeks Beauty, Not Quantity Bride of Today Includes in Trousseau Only Ample Amount of Lingerie for Immediate Use. Since the sheer and clinging fabrics of outer garments have made the cut and line and ornamentation of under garments matters of so much impor tance in the final effect of every cos tume, lingerie presents in some sense a mode of its own with every changing season, according to Vogue. The bride of today no longer includes in ■her trousseau lingerie enough to last her half a lifetime, but the ample amount for immediate use which she selects makes up In beauty what it lacks in quantity, and the sums which she expends upon it would have stag gered the wealthiest of her grand mothers. Lovelier than ever before, it seems, is the lingerie which this season offers to the bride, exquisite In its hand- mads laces and delicate colors and sheer and flinty fabrics, In the fine re straint of its dainty and beautiful em broideries. The tendency to over elaboration Which has at Hmes char acterized lingerie is but IiUle seen this season. There are fewer ribbons, fewer rosebuds and very little of the heavily padded and rather showy em: broidery. p .The selection made by one of the most charming Parislenne society oils for her’ wedding gown : The skirt was short, while the long man- ,je eour was marvelously em- .!•()!(Iercd In diver’ thread u'ld •pro-1 with u double row of white fox. i’his is, of course, not the traditional gown, but the bride thus gowned made a beautiful picture. So, after all, she was right In that case nob to live up to tradition. HOME-MADE DUSTLESS MOPS Convenience That Is Dustless and Al so Sanitary Labor-Saver May Be Easily Made. Dustless mops and dustless dust ers are sanitary labor-savers. They can be made at home by dipping the mop or the duster In a solution of some vegetable oil, such as linseed or cottonseed, and gasoiine or other solv ent, about one tablespoonful of oil to one pint of gasoline being used. There should be no’fire in the room where the gasoline is used. The mop or duster should be hitr.g outdoors until the gasoline has evaporated. The oil will be evenly distributed in this way. The duster may be washed once or twice before it. is necessary to redip it in the oil solution. Woman,..Missing for Several Weeks, Found iri Pond With Rope Tight ened About Her Nerk—Gar- rote Leads to Arrest. New York,—Accused of murdering her stepmother in a dispute over the division of her father’s estate, Mrs. Carolina Verderosa, a seventeen-year- old girl, and her husband, Lutiano Verderosa, a Williamsburgh contrac tor, were held without ball. The arrests were made .within a few hours of the time when the body of the stepmother, Mrs. Catherir e Trotta, was found in Cooper’s pond, in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, with a rope tightened about the neck. Had Been Missing a Month. Mrs.’Trotta Tiad been missing since she left her home in Brooklyn some •weeks ago to do some marketing and to attend to some matteis connected wiUi tlie settlement of hur husband’s estate. Wheii she did not return a son-in-law reported her disappearance to the police and a . search was started. The police learned that Mrs. Trotta had gone from her home to the North Side Savings bank In Williamsburgh, where she drew out $400. From there she went to a pawnbroker’s to take out of pawn some jewelry valued at $1,000, which had belonged to her hus band. . It was her intention, if is be lieved, to sell the jewelry and divide the proceeds among those who were to share In her husband’s estate. Garrote Leads to Arrest Mrs. Trotta, it was found, had the jewelry with her when -she went t® a meat market to make a purchase. Soon after that she was reported as entering the Verderosa home in Wil liamsburgh. AVhen Mrs. Trotta’s body was found In Cooperis pond the police discarded the theory of robbery. Her handbag, The Body Was Found in Cooper’s Pond. which had contained the redeemed jewelry, was missing, but there were five rings on the fingers and about $15 in cash in a pocket, which, the police believed, robbers would not have over looked. The evidence which led to the ar rest of the Verderosas was the cord about Mrs. Trotta’s neck, with which, in the belief of Dr. Carl Pottiger, Brooklyn medical examiner, the mur der was accompished. It was a short piece of sash rope, apparently recent ly cut. In their search of the Ver derosa apartment, after the body was found, the police found a .quantity of 1 similar cord. SHE LIVES IN HIDDEN ROOM The Waistline. AVhile thousands of women are pointing wiUi pride to their corsetless figures, the corset makers are appeal ing to the Paris designers for more’ of a waistline in the coming'models.' so that women will feel compelled at least to wear a girdle. No one. ex pects the modem woman to go all the way back to the heavy corsets of for mer years, but the corset manufac turers declare women really need the support of the supple models. Woman RentsWhole House to Tenant, But Continues to Occupy Part of It Secretly. Philadelphia--Occupancy of a se cret room In a building which she had leased in its entirety to Mrs. Bertha M. Nelson of Philadelphia, during the full peroid of the lease, resulted In a decision by Judge Repetto, In Atlan tic City, N. J., that Mrs. K. Louise Barrett must pay the sum of $400 as a fair rental for thq room. .Discovery of the strange abode of the owner of the house did not occur until several months after the lease had been executed and possession taken by the tenant. Mrs. Barrett had built a room adjoining the porch and access to It was made by a secret stairway. The room was entirely shut off from the rest of the house. Attempts to dispossess the owner failed and finally suit was instituted for rental. Mrs. Nelson rented the premises for the sum of $2,500. Boy Hanged Self From-Garret Rafters.

NO NEED FOR EARLY DEATH Full Life May Be Assured to Thou sands Who Would Take Trouble to Earn It. The death rate among males In this country is twice as great at forty”as it is at twenty, according to The Nation’s- Business. This means that 50 per cent of the vital resistance is gone at that early age, an age when a man is sup posed to be lit the height of his power, an age when his vitality should be at least equal to that of a man of twenty. Why isn’t it? Infections, poisons, mental strain, physical inactivity, too much food, too little food, badly bal anced diet—a long list of causes, most of them traceable to the widespread and fallacious notion that a man can have health, without working for it. z No man need accept the physical limitations which apparently doom so many to hit the downhill trail almost before they have come to the age that should endow- them with the fullest physical and mental power. Right living and right remedial measures checked up and kept right by means of periodic examinations, form a com bination that would insure a full life to thousands who have long since given up hope of such a thing.

The mystery of why Lot’s wife turned around, womanlike, after being warned specifically not to, was ex plained by Alexander Qlack, novelist, at a 'dinner of the Society of Arts and Science, New York. Mr. Black said Mrs. Lot merely- wanted to see If she was being fol lowed by a man. The subject of profound debate was “Marriage Is a Success. Yes? No?” It was discussed with lights turned low under red shades. Mr. Black said it is now the man who does the turning around and look ing back, “usually slightly down. “Over their faces come curiously mingled expressions of bewilderment and amazement. “I have seen them turned into cyn ics or into poets.

U„ CHARLOTTE, NO. 20-1921 Good, Plump, Disease-Free Seed and Plenty of Fertilizer Are’ Essential —Keep Bugs Off by Dust- ing or Spraying. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Irish potatoes are grown in most home gardens, but there are just a few points in the potato-growing game that the home gardener is likely to overlook which are very important. First of all, potatoes grow quickly, and their food supply must be all ready and waiting for them in the soil. Sec ond/they are1 heavy feeders, and want plenty to draw upon. In other words, the soil for Irish potatoes must not only be rich but it must be rich in plant food of certain kinds. Land that was well manured the previous sea son, and which contains plenty of or ganic matter is best. The first step in preparing the soil will be to spade or plow it In to a depth of eight or nine inches, then break up the clods, if there be any, and pulverize the soil practically as deep as it is spaded or plowed. How to Use Fertilizer. Common fertilizers give good re sults for growing potatoes, especially if the fertilizer contains potash, as po tatoes require more potash than is usually present In the soil. Fertilizer manufacturers mix special brands for potatoes, and these are generally rath er rich in potash. How much fertil izer to use will depend upon the fertil ity of the soil, but as a rule eight pounds to each 100 feet of row will be about right. A good way to ap ply the fertilizer is to make the holes or bprcows and drop the pieces of seed potato, cover them with an inch or two of soil, then scatter the fertilizer ’along the row so that it will become well mixed with the soil in completing the covering of the seed. Another method.is to scatter the fertilizer in the furrow and mix it with the soil be fore dropping the pieces of seed po tato. Best Kind of Seed. ’ Small, shriveled potatoes, left in the bottom of the barrel at the end of win ter, are iiot fit for seed. Only plump, disease-free potatoes, on which the sprouts are beginning to start, should be used for seed. Seed grown in Maine, New York, Michigan, Wiscon sin, or some other special seed produc ing section will as a rule give best re sults. Seedsmen get the seed potatoes Potatoes Should Be Cut Into Chunky Pieces With at Least One' Eye to a Piece. shipped in by the carload and then sell them to gardeners in small quan tities. It takes about ten bushels (COO pounds) of se.ed potatoes to plant an acre. One bushel of seed will plant one-tenth of an acre, which is a space 43 feet wide by 100 feet long. A peck of seed potatoes (10 pounds) should plant 360 feet of row, each potato be ing cut into chunky pieces having at least one good eye to a piece. Seed potatoes should not be cut un til all ready to plant. Wheneverseed potatoes are cut and allowed to stand, the cut surfaces dry out, turn blatfk and the seed loses vitality very rap idly. Scabby or diseased seed pota- toeg should not be used for planting. The variety of potatoes to plant will depend largely, upon locality. Irish Cobbler is one of the leading early va rieties while Rural New Yorker, Early Ohio, Triumph, Green Mountain, and others are grown extensively. Plant the variety most» commonly grown In Uie locality, but be sure that the shed Is free'.from disease and is In good, sound condition. Do not plant potatoes too deep. Four inches is about the-proper depth. Leave the surface ■ almost level and see that there are no clods, stones, or pieces of sod directly over .the hills, potatoes are 'one of the first garden crops to plant In the springtime) -and it is safe to put the seed In the ground two or three weeks before the date of the last heavy frost. lrIn case there is Iikgly to be a freeze after the plants -come up, cover:them with an inch or two of loqse earth to protect them. They may be uncovered as soon as Uie weather warms up or they come up through ithe soil themselves, GARDEN VALUE AIDED BY PERENNIAL CROPS Gush. Fruits Should Be Grown Where Space Permits. Asparagus Will Thrive Almost Every where in Good Soil—Rhubarb Can Be Planted Along Fence— Utilize AU Space. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Plantings of perennial fruit and vegetables add to the interest and value of every home garden. In lo calities where they may be grown, some fruit trees and bush fruits should be planted wherever space permits. In addition to the small fruits there are a few permanent vegetables which should not be overlooked. One of these is asparagus, whjch will thrive almost anywhere, provided it is planted In good soU. A plot of ground 15 to 20 feet square In one corner of the garden will supply aU of the asparagus needed by an average family. A few hills of rhubarb in sections where it will grow can be planted along the garden fence and furnish the family supply. The same is true of horse radish and of a number of the herbs, including thyme, tarragon, sage. Grapes of the type and variety suited, to the locality should always be Included in the home garden. These can be grown on an arbor over the Crops Like These Can Be Raised In Almost Any Garden. walk where they require no extra space. Four to six vines of the stand ard varieties, and one or two of the southern type in their proper locality, will be sufficient. In planning the garden, plant the perennial things where they will not interfere with the preparation of the ground and the cultivation of the regu lar vegetable garden. Place them around the outbuildings, along the fences and in the corners where they will notfbe In the way. Bulletins tell ing how to cultivate the various small fruits can be obtained from the United States Department of Agriculture. BUSH VELVET BEAN FAVORED Particularly Useful With Corn as It Does Not Make Harvesting a Difficult Problem. Reports from 400 cooperators of the United States Department of Agricul ture who tested bush velvet bean in 1920 for the first time are highly commendatory. Three-fourths of those reporting consider the bean a market success, and over half of them believe it to be superior to any other variety, everything taken into con sideration. Two uses of the bean meet with particularly enthusiastic praise. First, is its use in corn, where its nontwining habit is very desirable, as it does not pull the corn down and make harvesting difficult as do the twining varieties. Second, it is found ideal as a cover and greet, manure crop in'citrus orchards, being far superior for this purpose to any other legume yet found. Its use should considerably reduce the fer tilizer bill for citrus orchards.. LATE CROP AFTER POTATOES Corn Can Be Planted Between Rows About Two Weeks Before Tubers Are Harvested. In most sections the early potatoes can be followed by a late crop of sweet corn planted between the rows of po tatoes about two weeks before the potatoes are dug. Late cabbage plants' can be set between the rows of po tatoes, then the soil worked about the cabbage plants when the potatoes are dug. Turnips can be grown broadcast on oithe land after early, potatoes. Late potatoes, planted about June I to 20 In the north and late In July In the south, occupy the. ground until frost and produce , the main supply for win ter use.

Therefore—number two holds tlie in-ld.” He rang the bell. !•lines,’’ he said, as the door op- oned, take a piece of paper and a pencil—if there’s one with a point— pod Mt down at the table. I'm going to think, and I’d hate to miss out any thing." Hii servant complied, and for a nliile silence reigned.

How can we get rid of the bird—how can we, James, I ask you? Why, by giving him nothing further'to watch for. Onpe let him think that Potts is no longer within, unless he’s an imbecile he will no longer remain with out. Now trot along over, James, and give my compliments to Mr. Darrell. Ask him to come in and see me for a mbment. Say I’m thinking and daren’t move.” James rose obediently, and Drum mond heard him cross over the pas sage to the other suite of rooms that lay’ on the-same floor. Then he heard the murmur of voices, and shortly afterward his servant returned. “He is in his bath, sir, but lie’H come over as soon as he’s finished.” He delivered the message and stood wait ing. “Anything more, sir?” “Yes, James. I feel certain that there’s a lot But just to carry on with, I’ll have another glass of beer.” As tlie door closed, Drummond rose and started to pace up and down the room. The plan he had In his mind was simple, but he was a man who believed in-simplicity. "Peterson will not come himself— nor will our one and only Henry. Potts has not been long In the coun try. which is ail to tlie good. And if it fails-tt-we shan’t be any worse off than we are now. Luck—that’s ail; and the more you tempt her, the kind er. she is.” He was ’still talking gently to himself when Peter Darrell strolled into the room. “Can this thing be true, old boy,” remarked the newcomer. “I hear you’re in the throes of a brain-storm.” “I am, Peter. I want you to help me.” “All that I have, dear old flick, Is yours for the asking. What can I do?” “Well, first of all, I want you to come along and ‘see the household pet.” He piloted Darrell along the passage to the American’s room, and opened the door. The millionaire looked at them dazedly from the pil lows, and Darrell stared back in startled surprise. “My God! What’s the matter with him?” he cried. “I would give a good deal to know,” said Hugh grimly. Then he smiled reassuringly at the motionless man, and led the way back to the sitting- room. “Sit down, Peter,” he said. “Get outside that beer and listen to me carefully.” For ten minutes he spoke, while his companion listened in silence. Gone completely was the rather vacuous faced youth clad in a gorgeous dress ing-gown ; in his place there sat a keen-faced man nodding from time to time as a fresh point was made clear. At length Plugh finished. “Will you do it. old man?” he- asked. “Of course,” returned the other. “But wouldn’t it be better, Hugh,” he said pleadingly, “to whip up^two or three of the boys and have a real scrap? I don’t seem to have anything to do.” Drummond shook his head decided ly. “No, Peter, my boy—not this show. We’re up against a big thing ; and if you like to come with me, I think you’ll have all you want in the scrap ping line before you’re finished. But this time, low cunning is the order.” Darrell rose. “Right you are, dearie. Your instructions shall be carried out to the letter. Come and feed your face with me.” “Not today,” said Hugh. “I’ve got quite a bit. to get through this after noon.” 1 . As" soon as Darrell had gone, Drum mond again rang the bell for his serv ant “This afternoon, James, you and Mrs. Denny will, leave here and go to Paddington. Go out by the front door, and should you find yourselves being followed—as you probably will be— keep your heads. Having arrived at the booking-office—take a ticket to Cheltenham, say good-by to Mrs.. Den ny in an impassioned tone, and exhort her not to miss the next train to that delectable inland resort. Then, James, you will board the train for Chelten ham and go there. You will remain there for two days. You will then return here, and await further orders. Do you get me?” “Yes, sir.”“Your wife—she has a sister or something, hasn’t she. knocking about somewhere?" _ . . “She ’as a palsied cousin in Camber well, sir,” remarked James with justi fiable pride. “Magnificent,” murmured Hugh. “She will dally until eventide with her palsied cousin—if she can bear it—and then-she must go by under ground to Baling, where she will take a ticket to Goring. I don’t think there will be any chance of her being fol lowed—you’ll have drawn them off. When she gets to Gorlpg, I want the cottage got ready at once, for two vis itors ” He paused and lit a cigarette. “Above all. J a m e s —mum’s the word. As I told you a little while ago, the game has begun. Now just repeat what I’ve told you.” He listened while his servant ran through his instructions, and nodded approvingly. “To think there are Still people who think military service a waste of time!” he murmured. “Four years ago you couldn’t have got one word of it right.” He dismissed Denny, and sat down at his desk. First he took tlie half torn sheet out of his pocket, and put ting it in an envelope, sealed it care fully. Then he placed it in another envelope, with a covering letter to his bank, requesting them to keep the in closure intact. Then he took a sheet of notepnper, and with much deliberation proceeded to pen a document which afforded him considerable amusement, judging by the grin which appeared from time to time on his face. This effusion he also enclosed In a sealed envelope, which he again addressed to his bank. Finally, he stamped the first, but not the second—and placed them both in his pocket. With tlie departure of the Dennys for Paddington, which coincided most aptly with the return of Peter Dar rell, "a period of activity commenced in Half Moon street. But being interior activity, interfering in no way with the placid warmth of the street out side, the gentleman without, whom a keen observer might have thought strangely Interested in the beauties of that well-known thoroughfare—seeing that he had been there for three hours —remained serenely unconscious of it. His pal had followed the Dennys to Paddington. Drumiqond had not come out—and the • watcher who watched without was beginning to get bored. About 4 :30 he sat up and took notice as some-one left the house; but it wa's only tlie superbly dressed young man whom he had discovered already was merely a clothes-peg calling himself Darrell. The Sim was getting low and the shadows were lengthening when a taxi drove up to the door. Immediately the watcher drew closer, only to stop “What the Devil,” Cried Drummond Furiously, “Is the Meaning of This?” with a faint smile as he saw two men get out of it. One was the immaculate Darrell; the other was a stranger, and both were quite obviously what in the vernacular is known as oiled. “You prisheless ole bean,” he heard Darrell say affectionately, “thish blink ing cabsh my show.” The other man hiccoughed assent, and leant wearily against the palings. “Eight,” he. remarked, “ole friend of mo youth. It shall be ash you wish.” With a tolerant eye he watched them tack up the stairs, singing lustily in chorus. Then the door above closed, and the melody continued to float out through the open.window. Ten minutes later he was relieved. It was quite an unostentatious relief; Another man merely strolled past him. And Since there was nothing to re port, he merely strolled away. He could hardly be expected to know that up in Peter Darrell’s sitting-room,, two •perfectly sober young men were con templating with professional eyes an extremely drunk gentleman singing in a chair, and that one of those two sober young men was Petef Darrell. Then further interior activity. took place in Half Moon Street1JaindJas the darkness fell, silence gradually settled- on the house. Ten o’clock struck, then eleven— and the silence.remained-unbroken. It was not till elbven-thirty that a sud den small sound made Hugh Drum mond sit up in his chair, with every nerve iHert. It came from the direc tion of the kitchen—and it was the sound he had been; waiting for. Swiftly he opened his door and passed along the passage to where the motionless man lay still fn bed. ‘‘Hiram C. Potts,” he said in a low, coaxing tone, “sit up and take your semolina. Force yourself, laddie, force yourself. I know it’s nauseating, but doctor said no alcohol and very little m eat” His voice died away, and he rose slowly to his feet. In. the open door four men were standing, each with a peculiar-shaped revolver in his hand. “What the devil," cried Drummond furiously, “is the meaning of this?" “Cut it out,” cried the leader con temptuously. “These guns are silent If you utter—you die. Do you get me?" The veins stood out on Drummond's forehead, and be controlled himself with an. immense effort. “Are you aware that this man is a guest of mine, and sick?" he said, his voice shaking with rage. “You don't say,” remarked the lead er, and one of the others laughed. “Rip the bed-clothes off, boys, and gag the young cock-sparrow.” Before he could resist, a gag was thrust in Drummond’s mouth and his hands were tied behind his back. Then, helpless and impotent he watched three of them lift up the man from the bed, and putting a gag ia his mouth also, carry him out of tlie Worn, “Move,” said the fourth to Hugh. “You join the picnic.” A large car drove up as they reached the street and in less time than it takes to tell, the two helpless men were" pushed in, followed by the leader; the door was shut and the car drove oft. “Don’t forget” he said to Drum mond suavely, “this gun is silent You had better be the same.” At one o’clock the car swung up to The Elms. For the last ten minutes Hugh had been watching the invalid in tlie comer, who was making frantic efforts to loosen his gag. His eyes were rolling horribly, and he swayed from side to side in his seat, but the bandages round his hands held firm and at last he gave it up. Even when he was lifted out and carried indoors he did not struggle: he seemed to have sunk Into' a sort of apathy. Drummond followed with dignified calmness, and was led into a room off the hall. In a moment or two Peterson en tered,. followed by his daughter. ■ “Ah I my young friend,” cried Peterson af fably, “I hardly thought you’d give me such an easy run as this.” He put his hand into Drummond’s pockets, and pulled out his revolver and a bun dle of letters. “To your bank,” he murmured. “Oh! surely, surely not that as we]l. Not even stamped. Un gag him, Irma—and untie his hands. JIy very dear young friend—you pain me.” “I wish to know, Mr. Peterson,” said Hugh .quietly, “by what right this das tardly outrage has been committed. A friend of mine, sick in bed—re moved, abducted in tlie middle of the night: to say nothing of me.” With a gentle laugh Irma offered him a cigarette. “Mon Dieu!” she re marked, “but you are most gloriously ugly, my Hugh!” Peterson, with a faint smile, opened the envelope In his hand. And, even as he pulled out the contents, he paused suddenly and the smile faded from his face. From the landing up stairs came a heavy crash, followed by a flood of the most appalling lan guage. “What tlie h—I. do you think you’re doing, you flat-faced son of a JIaltese goat? And where the h—I am I, anyway?” “I must apologize for my friend’s language,” murmured Hugh gently, “but you must admit he has some jus tification. Besides, he was, I regret to state, quite wonderfully drunk earlier this evening, and just as he was sleep ing It off these desperadoes abducted him.” The next moment the door- burst op en,' and an infuriated object rushed In. His face was wild, and his hand was bandaged, showing a great red stain on the thumb. “What’s this—jest?” he howled furi ously. “And this d—d bandage all covered with red ink?”. “You must ask my friend here, Mullings,” said 'Hugh. “He’s got a peculiar sense of humor. Anyway, he’s got the bill in his hand.” In silence- they watched Peterson open the paper and read the contents, while the girl leaned over his shoulder. To Mr. Peterso.i, Godaimlng.. £ s. d.

In Which j4e Spends a Quiet Night at the Elnis. ONE. “It Is a HI tie il!fHcu!f to know what to do willi you. young man,’ said Pe= terson gently,' after a long silence. “I knew you had no tact.” Drummond leaned back in his Chair and regarded his host with a- faint smile. “I must come to you for lessons, Mr. Peterson. Though I frankly admit,” he added genially, “that I have never been brought up to regard the forcible abduction of -a harmless individual and a friend who is sleeping off the effects of what- low people call a jag as being exactly typical of that admirable qual ity.” Peterson’s glance rested on the dis heveled man still standing by the door, and after a moment’s thought he’ leaned forward and pressed a bell. “Take that man away,” he said ab ruptly to the servant who came into the room, “and put him to bed. I will, consider what to do with him In the morning.” “Consider be d—d,” howled Mul- IingsT starting forward angrily. “You’ll consider a thick ear, Mr. Blooming Know-all. What I wants to know—” The words died away In his mouth, and he gazed at Peterson like a bird looks at .a snake There was some thing so ruthlessly malignant in the stare of the gray-blue eyes that the ex-soldier who had viewed going over the top with comparative equanimity as being part of his job quailed and looked apprehensively at Drummond. “Do what the kind gentleman tells you, Mullings,” said Hugh, “and go to bed.” He lit a cigarette, and thought fully blew out a cloud of smoke. “Stop this fooling,” snarled Peter son. “Where have you hidden Potts?” “Tush, tush,” murmured Hugh. “You surprise me. I had formed such a charming mental picture of you, Mr.' Peterson, as the strong, silent man who never lost his temper, and here you are, disappointing me at the begin ning of our acquaintance.” For a moment he thought that Pe terson was going to strike him, and his own fist clenched under the table. “I wouldn’t, iny friend,” he said qujetly, “indeed I wouldn’t. Becausfe if you hit me, I shall most certainly hit you. And it will not improve your beauty.” . Slowly Peterson sank back In his chair, and the veins which had been standing out on his forehead became •normal again. He even smiled; only the ceaseless tapping of his hand on his left knee betrayed his momentary loss of composure. Drummond’s fist unclenched, and he stole a look at the girl. She was in her favorite attitude on the sofa, and had not even looked up. “I suppose that it is quite useless for me to argue with you,” said Peter son after a while. “I was a member of my school de bating society,” remarked Hugh remi niscently. “But I was never much good. I'm too obvious for argument. I’m afraid.” “You probably realize from what has happened tonight,” continued Pe terson. “that'I am In earnest.” “P should be sorry to think so,” an swered Hugh. “If. that Is the best you can do, I’d cut It right out and start a tomato farm.” The girl gave a little gurgle of laughter and lit another cigarette. “Will you come and do the danger ous part of the work for us, Monsieur Hugh?” she asked. “If you promise to restrain the little fellows, I’ll water thorn with pleas ure,” returned Hugh lightly. Peterson rose and walked over to the window, where he stood motion less, staring out into tlie darkness. Hugh realized that the situation was what in military phraseology might be termed critical. There were in the house probably half a dozen men who, like their master, were absolutely un scrupulous. If it suited Peterson’s book to kill him, he would not hesitate to do so for a single second. For a moment the thought crossed his mind that he would take no chances by remaining in the house; that he would rush Peterson from behind and escape into the darkness of the garden. But it was only mo mentary—gone almost before it had come, for Hugh Drummond was not that manner of man—gone even before he noticed that Peterson was standing in such a position that he could see every detail of the room behind him reflected In the glass through which he stared. Both Hugh and Peterzon nar rowly escape death in the dark. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Washington's Religion. There has been considerable contro versy over the extent to which relig ious belief entered Into Washington’s character. His own chronicles show that most of his Sundays, except dur ing the presidency, when he felt obliged to set an example, he spent In answering letters, going over his ac counts, hunting or doing any business that ui03e with whom he was negoti ating had no scruples. ' In choosing people to work for him he set up no barriers of creed, judging men from the standpoint of honesty, industry and ability. How Kisses Came. Of course It doesn’t really matter who invented kissing—but the legend of the Grecian shepherdess who found an opal on one of the hills near Athens and, wishing to give it to a young shepherd whose hands were oc cupied, let him take it from her l|ps with his own, is one of many stories which give Greece the honor of the very first kiss.- After, a man has made a foot of him self he., realizes what a„ fun-loving lot of acquaintances be ba^ _ PBESHI WILL H L i D T l L K WOULD NOT HAVE MUCH CHANCE FOR THAT IF HE WAITED FOR CONGRESS TO ADJOURN. WILLING TO MAKE SPEECHES Hle Appearance Not Always on Na tional Occasions—Report That Hs Will Visit Alaska Before the Sum mer Is Over. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—President Harding ap parently does not intend to wait on the adjournment of congress to begin his public appearances In different parts of the-country as a speaker on occa sions of civic importance. Probably the President realized from the rec ord of congress since 1907 that if he waits on adjournment he will get few chances to leave Washington, for only In one or two years since that earlier date has there been any long extended breathing spell for the national legis lators. The President In reviewing the Nortli Atlantic fleet as commander In chief of the .navy, performs a service duty which all presidents undertake once or twice in the course of their Incumbency of high office. Soon the President will begin his excursions into the civic field. Already he has filled one New York engagement, and made another one for the early fall at Bir mingham, "Ala. A delegation of citi zens of Alabama came to the White Hous-J the otiier day headed by Sena tor Underwood, and asked the Presi dent to go to Birmingham within a few weeks, but he found this impossible, and promised to go later. More than any other President who has held office In recent years, Mr. ~ Harding seems to be willing to make speaking engagements on occasions which represent local activities rather than those of national life. Already he has spoken at the Gridiron club din ner in Washington, at an assembly of the Knights of Pythias, and soon he is to address an association of bank ers In Washington. New York Trip a Necessity. The trip to New York the other day on the occasion of the unveiling of the statue of Samuel Bolivar was under taken because no President with a due regard to international courtesies could have declined the invitation. Of course it is not intended to Intimate that JIr. Harldng did not want to go, but the occasion was one that de- ' nianded his presence. Bolivar was the'. Washington of South America. The President left the capital to take part In the Bolivar ceremonies at a time when duties were pressing heavily upon-him. Gonferencea are still going on be tween the President and tlie lenders of his party In congress concerning the later legislative program. When once his views definitely are understood by tlie party men who will attempt to carry them out in congress, the Presi dent will feel footloose to meet en gagements In different parts of the country. It Is said that he likes to make speeches and as he is known as something of "an orator, rather of the old-day style, the average person likes to hear him speak. Something has been said prior to this time about the chances that this would be “a traveling administration.” Secretary Denby started a trip of in spection of the North Atlantic fleet, then In southern waters, on the week he entered office. Assistant secretary of the Navy Roosevelt has followed suit. Announcement has just been made that Secretary Weeks soon will go to Panama to get an understand-' ing of conditions there, which it is rumored are not of the best. The civil administration and the army administration have their prob lems In Panama, and added to these, and as an Inner part of them. It is said, there are labor troubles of one kind or another. May Go to Alaska. It Is possible that before the summer is over President Harding will go to Alaska. If he does and undertakes to find out what Is wrong with Alaska, If anything Is wrong with it, he will have- to listen to representatives of two sides of a sharp controversy. The Alaska railroad problem, just at pres ent, is a perplexing one. Under the authority of congress a railroad has been built in Alaska by the govern ment, and there are rumors that It is going to cost a great deai. more than it was expected to cost, that It cannot make any money after It is completed, and that the line of Its route tvas badly chosen from a business standpoint. If the President goes to Alaska, he probably will take two of his cabinet officers with him, both of whom are concerned, In behalf of their depart ments, 8bout matters in the territory. Secretary Faii of the Interior depart ment today has under his charge the work of completing the Alaska rail road. The secretary probably will want to know all about the things as his predecessor In office handed them down to him. Secretary of the Navy Denby also is likely to go to Alaska with the President If the Journey Is Under taken. It was supposed In .the be ginning that the Alaska railroad would, bring coal enough out of the territory to supply coal to the navy, and also to supply American domestic trade to- some extent It U said that them .Ia some hitch In the coal matter. Wlmm THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA POLITICAL PARTIES AND CANDI DATES IN GERMANY ARE RESERVING DECISION.

Berlin.—Prospective candidates for the new cabinet and the political par ties are reserving decision concern ing the parliamentary attitude with re gard to the Allied ultimatum on finan cial indemnities has been clarified.

President Ebert has neld conferen ces with Reichstag leaders belonging to the present coalition and the ma jority socialist party but has not suc ceeded in untangling the cabinet crisis percipitated by the sudden res ignation of the Fehrenbach ministry. LADY WERNHER, A noteworthy visitor to America is Lady .Anastasia Wernher, bricfe of Major Harold Wernher, inheritor of the Kimberly diamond mines.

Jewish sned'cal unit. New York.—A vertiable flood of New York.—A veritable flood of gold is sweeping upon the shores of the United States. Already the precious metal in this country has at tained the, unprecedented amount of $3,001,487,915, and yet the tide is ris ing. Financiers attribute this to the fact that the United States is the world’s one "creditor nation” and for the equally important reason that the other nations of the world find it well- nigh impossible to transact business with this country, by reason of their own depreciated currency. The precious metal is coming from all quarters of the globe. Sweden is sending gold received from Germany for war supplies, also bar gold or bullion, which many be lieve to be of Russion origin. By way of the Pacific have come occasional shipments of gold from Siberia where they formed part of General Kol chak’s war chest. The local assay office, a new struc ture, whose modern equipment in cludes huge vaults five floors below the street level, now holds upward of $1,000,000,000, fully one-third of which has come from foreign coun tries.

Salem, Va. J Aprif 28—Henry Dameron, '25, descendent of poineer Virginia settlers, who works on his unde’s mountainside. < farm near here from sun-up^ ;to sun-down al $10 a month, often dreamed, -he said; of finding a treasure and buy - ing a farfn'of his own., • On the-afternoon of April 9 » while plowing near the / foot, of Brash’s mountain -his . plow-itanearthed a peculier looking’ object which at tracted his attention. Investigation revealed that he had found a small metal pot wrapped in buckskin con taining gold and silver coins valued at $14,903. About $13,4 ^ was in gold, $606' in silver and the balance in paper money so badly, disinte grated that the dominations could not be distinguished. The latest date on any of the coins Was 1823, Young Dameron, first bewilder ed, was !fearful that his fortune might be taken from him and kept his discoyery a secret until' today when he told his mother. . “Henry dreamed for a week that he was going to find a treasure, declared Mrs. Dameron, a handy mountain-woman, “and now he’s gone and-done it.” Tonighf the fortune was still in Dameron’s keeping with no inten tion on his part, he said, of deposit ing it in a bank. Taxes. Travel anywhere in any state yon will and the paramount question of all is — taxes. Laborer, employer -business man, lawyer or statesman, are all mixed up in the uproar; it’s the question that most engages their attention.-; because' if you cannot reach men any Other way they are sure to sit.up and take notice when - approached by way of the pocket book. - Admitted, taxes are too high less there is some remedy applied and that soon. Government taxes tare easily Ox. plained: War. But are other taxes and some of their burdens so easily explained. First—Methods of taxation are in a sort of chaos, Taxjaws are inade quate. out of date, and are on the verge ofja breakdown. No two stat es have the same method of raising revenue. The present system of pro- erty assessment and levying is a “grab-bag” of guess work, wrongs and often graft. Second-This makes the honest man a tax dodges. Abeut 44 per cent pay too much tax, and the other pay either too little or none. Covern ment, state, county, municipal and School bonds, a great- wealth and Source of revenue, are tax. free. A strong inducement for..the?people-f>f “large means,” who should pay tax es; to become tax dodgers- eithep.by honest intentions of by the surety and protection of the investment of fered. 7/• ■ •' VThird—A-reform ir^tax classifica tion is needed. It to'admittedly an absolute impossibility to work- out a method of taxation teat will please all, for who1; iy honestly in accord with the: amount he. has to pay’? Seemingly,, {he load mostly is placed upon those less able to bear the abid ed burden. People generally '-d? Ive into the cause and effect of taxation and ths expuditur of to'x money; they mostly “just ho'jvl.’’—Able-' marie Piedmont Preta"' TWENTY-THIRD DAVIE COUNTY Baraca-PhOathea Conv^tionr To be HdH at Liberty H E .

The walls are up and the roof is on: It is in; appearance and size the "equal of any.city church in the State. LBut when the present depression stnich Badin and -almost closed down the aluminmum plant, many of the members of this organization nioved out of town and worked on- A “this building had to srop. AJ1But now it has started up- again. Hajid times could not stop a deter mined people. Every time the light ed are1 on. All-over the lower floor from'7 to 9 in the evening some body is at Work. And nobody is paid for this work; it is aM done by volunteers. Workers unskilled are under the direction of Skilled work ers. Members of the church and those who are members worked to gether in joyous fellowship. The most dignified man in the .force is the “water boy. ” : i Occasionally the workers stop for breath.

The public invited. I Am For Law And Order League. Dear Editor:—Please allow me space-in your paper to correct an error which appeared in your paper some time ago in regard to the Heart felt Farmer of Cornatzer. It raised, a question which caused very much tronble in the community and the writers say hard things about each other which_we all. know is not best and in my article I shall not Bay anything harsh or anything except what was involved in the first article. The man mentioned was N. W. Potts, as the shuck man, and I will describe the conditions of the case as I have -gone to both parties to get their statements. A t the time my brother ■D. J. Potts, had charge of N. W. Potts farm and also of the other heirs andhereniel a crop to Mr. Law rence Williams and Mr. Williamsleft before the crop was gathered, mov ing only a short ways off; gathering his corn and hauled same to N. W. Potts barnyard and after Bhucking said corn he left the shucks.lying as they was for a certain length of time about which the following trouble a- rose. Now as I was not even in the State at the time I know nothing personally about the matter, but to know the trdthT.went to b«th sides and here are the statements as best I can word them. 1st. Mr. Lawrence Williamsstated after shucking the corn he left the shucks as they . lay. for some time then sending Mrs. Howard and a. boy to shock them paying 25 cents for the work and did not know the condition of the shucks himself. Mrs. Howard said 'shucks were black on top and had molded some, but letting them dry and look ing into them they were bright in side and she considered them - good to feed at -that time, but it was something like a month before they were moved, and there being rain on them before they were moved, there being no poles or piank to hold them in place and she knew nothing more.of them. N. W . Potts Kiys that, the com was shucked about the 15th of - October and the shucks laid for about, two In the weather - before bdng shocked or piled, there .being very much rain during this time; after wards they were poorly shocked or piled, being wet and in a damaging condition, tbey continued to damage until they were of no value. During this time he went to Mr. Williamsr and tried to get him to haul them after which he told his- son to haul them out. We Will say further we have-a statement from ^ disinterest ed party whose name I will give any one asking, that the shucks was rd<> ten when hauled out. Mr. Williams pr^nce'of an piSScer;'.the price be-; - -jng $7, and that both parties stated that they were satisfied and that there would be no hard feelings be tween them. I went to Mr. Williams ( and told him that if there was any-j t h i n g more due him I would pay it, and he said he was satisfied as he. got just what he asked for and bad - not said anything abou t it since ex- j cept when some one mentioned it to j him. This happened in the fall of 1919. and I being in Norfolk, knew nothing about the matter until I re-f -turned in February. 1920. Howeverj Iheard nothing about it until I help-{ ed plow thefield of corn where the shucks was scattered and I asked | how they came there and my brother stated the trouble to me. I heard no more about it until Heartfelt Farmer, of, Cornatzer, raised the trouble. Since that time there has been people saying hard things about their neighbors instead of good ones. I would not think of writing an ar ticle of this kind without first going down upon my knees before the King of Kings and Lord of 'Lords and'-ask ing him to guide me in this, and I trust to offend no one. I love every body with my whole heart and ask the Lord’s blessing upon them, al though I hate sin of every kind even in my own lifeand in everybody else.' I do not know who Heartfelt Farmer is as he did not sign his name,,and I accuse no man of it, for I wouldn’t want no one to accuse me of 'such a crime as that if. I was clear of it. If I knew who -Heartfelt Farmer was and knew something bad he had done I would not tell it. and furthermore I will not say. anything about him, but I do want to say one thing about what he wrote arid not about him. He wrote hebeiieved in tending to his own business - and - letting -other people’s alone. Dear brother, if you believe this you have written an ar tide that is traitor to your own be lief because you wrote about a trou ble that has been settled over twelve months ago, and was settled satis factorily .to both parties according to their statements. I ho not tafce sides with either writer hut I want to call this attention of both sides to the fact that some day we shall all stand before the judgment.seat ,of Christ and give an account of what we have written# Now, if I have said a word wrongfully against anyone I ask the Lord to forgive me fir.it, and second to any one connected; third, I will correct any error wherein it would offend anyone if he will come to me and state any error I will correct it through the columns of this paper. ; - Yours truly, E.L.

CHAPTER IV—Continued. —7^- A fixed determination to know what lay In that sinister brain replaced his temporary indecision. Events up to date had moved so quickly that he had hardly had time to get his bearings; even notv the last twenty-four hours seemed almost a dream. And as be looked at the broad back and massive head of the man at the window, and from him to the girl idly smoking on the sofa, he smiled a little grimly. He had just remembered the thumbscrew of the preceding evening. Assuredly the demobilized officer who found peace dull was getting his money’s worth; and Drummond had a shrewd suspicion that the entertainment was only just beginning. A sudden sound outside in the gar- den made him look up quicHy. He saw the white gleam of a shirt front, and the next moment a man pushed open the window and came unsteadily into the room. It was Mr. Benton, and quite obviously he had been seeking consolation in the bottle. “Have you got him?” he demanded thickly, steadying himself with a hand on Peterson’s arm. “I have not,” said Peterson shortly, eyeing the swaying figure in front of him contemptuously. “For heaven’s sake, sit down, man, before you fall down.” He pushed Benton roughly into a chair, and resumed his impas sive stare into the darkness. Tbe girl took not the slightest notice of the new arrival, who-gazed stupid ly at Drummond across the table. “We seem to be moving in an at mosphere of cross-purposes, Mr. Ben-, ton,” said the soldier affably. “I hope your daughter is quite well.” “Er—quite, thank you," muttered the other. “Tell her, will you, that I propose to call on her before returning to Lon don tomorrow.” With his hands in his pockets, Peter son was regarding Drummond from the window. “You propose leaving^us tomorrow, do you?” he said quietly. Drummond stood up. “I ordered my car for ten o’clock,” he answered. “I am quite sure that I shall be more useful to Mr. Peter son at large- than I am cooped up here. I might even lead him to this hidden .treasure which he thinks I’ve got.” “You will do that, all right,)’ re marked Peterson. “But at the mo ment I was wondering whether a lit tle persuasion now—might not give me ail tlie information I require more quickly and with less trouble.” A fleeting vision of a mangled, pulp- like thumb flashed across Hugh’s mind; once again he heard that hide ous cry, . half animal, half human, which had echoed through the dark ness the preceding uiglit, and for an instant ins breath came a little faster. Then he smiled, and shook his head. “I think, you are rather too good a judge of human nature to try anything so foolish,” lie said thoughtfully. “You see,.unless you kill me, which I don’t think would suit your book, you might find explanations n little difficult to morrow." For a while there was silence In the room, broken at length by a short lough from Peterson. “For a -young man, truly your per spicacity js great,” he remarked. “Ir ma, is the blue room ready? If so, tell Lulgi to show Captain Drummond to it.” “I will show him myself,” she an swered, rising. Hugh, saw, a .look of annoyance pass over Peterson’s face as he turned, to follow, the-girl, and it struck him that -that gentleman w a s not best pleased, at the. turn ..of events. Then the. ooor closed, and lie followed his gufde up the stairs. Tlie g’.-l opened the door of a room and switched on the light. Then she faced him smiling, and Hugh looked at her steadily. “Tell me, you ugly man,” she murmured, “why you are such a fool.” Hugh smiled, and as has been said before, Hugh’s smile transformed his face. “I must remember that opening,” he said. “It establishes a basis of In- Umncjv at once, doesn’t It?” She swayed a little toward him, and then, before he realized her in tention, she put a hand on his shoul der. ... “Don’t you understand,’’ she whis pered fiercely, “that tliey’11 kill you?” She peered. Dast him half fearfully, and then turned to him again.. “Go, you idiot, go—while there’s time. Get out of - it—go abroad; do anything— but don’t fool round here."' “It seems a chegrful household,” re- marited Hugh with a smife. “May I ask why you’re all so concerned about me? Your estimable father gave tub the same advice yesterday morning.” “Don’t ask why," she answered fe-- verishly, “because I can’t tell you. Only you Jmust believe that what I say is the truth—you must. It’s just possible that if you go now and tell them where you’ve hidden the Ameri can youli be all right. But If yob don’t—” Her hand dropped to her side suddenly. “Breakfast will Tie at nine, my H ughiuntil then, au revoir.” He turned as she left the room, a little puzzled by her change of tone. Standing at the top of the stairs was Peterson, watching them both In si lence. . . . TWO. In the days when Drummond had been a platoon commander he had done many dangerous things. The or dinary joys of the infantry subaltern’s life—such as going over the top, and carrying out raids—had not proved sufficient for his appetite. He had specialized in peculiar stunts of his own: stunts over which he was sin gularly reticent; stunts over which his men formed their own conclusions, and worshiped him accordingly. But Drummond was no fool, and he had realized the vital importance of fitting himself for these stunts to the best of his ability. Enormous physical strength is a great asset, but it car ries with it certain natural • disadvan tages. In the first place, its possessor is frequently clumsy: Hugh had prac ticed In France till he copld move over ground without a single blade of grass rustling. Van Dyck—a Dutch trap per—had first shown shim the trick, by which, a man goes forward on his el bows like a snake, and is here one moment and gone the next, with no one the wiser. Again, its possessor is frequently slow: Hugh had practiced in France till he'could kill a man with his bare hands in a second. Olaki—a Japa nese—had first taught him two or three of the secrets of his trade, and In the intervals of resting behind the lines he had perfected them, until it was even money whether the Jap or he wpuld win. in a Dractice bout. And there were nights In No Man’s Land when his inen would hear strange sounds, and knowing that Drummond was abroad on his wanderings, would “Tell Me, You Ugly Man," She Mun mured, “Why You Are Such a Fool.” - peer eagerly over the parapet into the desolate tom-up waste in front But they never saw anything, even when the green ghostly flares went hissing up into the darkness and the shadows danced fantastically. AH was silent and still; the sudden shrill whimper was not repeated. Perhaps a. patrol coming back would report a. German, lying huddled In n Shellholer with no trace of a wound, but. only a broken peck; perhaps the' patrol never found anything.. But. wiiatever the report,. Hugh Driiinmond only grinnned and saw to his men’s breakfast Which is why.there are In England today quite' a number of civilians who acknowledge- only two rulers—the King and Hugh Drum mond. : And they would willingly die for either, ; -' The result on Drumnfond was not surprising; as nearly as a man may be he was without fear; And when the idea came to him as he sat on the edge of his bed thoughtfully pulling off his shoes, no question of the possible' risk entered into his mind. To explore the house seemed' the m ost,natural thing in the world! and with, character istic brevity he summed, up the situ ation as it struck, him. "They suspect 4ne anyhow : in . fact, they know I took Potts. Therefore, even if they catch me passage creep ing,- I’m no worse off than I am now. And I might find something of inter est. Therefore, carry on, brave heart.’.’ It was dark in the passage outside as he opened the door of his room and crept toward the top of the stairs. The collar of his brown lounge coat was turned up, and his stocking feet made no sound on the heavy pile carpet Like a huge shadow he vanished into the blackness, feeling his way forward with the uncanny instinct that comes from mqch practice. Every now and then he paused and listened intently, but the measured ticking of the clock below and the occasional creak of a board alone broke the stillness. To the left lay the room in which he had spent the evening; and Drummond turned to the right. As he had gone up to bed he had noticed a door screened by a heavy curtain which he thought might be the room Phyllis Benton had spoken of—the room where Henry Lakington kept his ill- gotten treasures. He felt his way along the wall, and at length bis hand touched "the curtain—only to drop it again at once. From close beside him had come a sharp, angry hiss. . . . . He stepped back a pace and stood rigid, staring at the spot from which the sound had seemed to come—but be could see nothing. Then he leaned forward and once ''more moved the curtain, instantly-' it came again, sharper and anerier than before. Hugh passed a hand over his fore head and found it damp. Germans he knew, and things on twe legs, but what was tills- that hissed so viciously in the darkness? At -Iength he deter mined to risk it, and drew from his pocket a tiny electric torch. Holding it well, away from his body, he switched on the light. In the center of the beam, swaying gracefully to and fro, w as'a snake: For a moment he watched It,-- fascinated as it spat at the light.angrily; he saw the flat hood where the vicious head was set on the upright body; then he switched off the torch and retreated rather faster than he had come. “A convivial household,” he mut- tered to himself through lips that were a little dry. “A hooded cobra is an unplea sing pet.’’ Hugh had just determined to reeon- noiter the curtained doorway again to see if it was possible to circumvent the snake, when a low chuckle came distinctly to his ears from the landing above. .. He flushed angrily in the darkness. There was no doubt whatever as to tlie human origin of that laugh, and Hugh suddenly realized that he was making the most profound fool of him self. To be laughed at by some dirty swine whom he'could strangle in half a minute—was impossible. His fists clenched, and he swore softly under his breath. Then as silently as he had come down, he commenced to climb the stairs again. -He had a hazy idea that he would like to bit some thing—hard- There were nine stairs In the first half of the flight, and it was as he stood on the fifth that he again heard the low chuckle. At the same instant something whizzed past his head so low that it almost- touched his hair, and there was a clang on the wall be side .him. He ducked instinctively; and regardless, of noise raced up the remaining stairs, on all-fours. His jaw was set like a vise, his eyes were blazing; In fact, Hugh Drummond was seeing red. He paused when he reached the top, crouching-In the darkness. Close to him he could feel some one else, and- holding his breath, he listened. Then he heard the man move—only the very faintest sound—but- it -was enough.' Without a second’s thought he sprang, and bis hands closed on human\fiesh. "He laughed gently ; then he fought In silence. - ■- His opponent was strong above the average, but after'a- minute-he was like a child In Hugh’s grasp. He choked once or twice and muttered something; then Hugh slipped his right hand gently onto the man's .throat. His . fingers moved slowly round, .his thumb adjusted itself-lov ingly, and the man felt his head being forced back Irresistibly. H e gave one strangled cry, and-then the pressure relaxed. . . v -- “One half-inch more, my gentle'hu morist,” -Hugh whispered in his ear, “and your neck would- have been broken. As It is, It will be very stiff for some days. Another, time—don t laugh. It’s dangerous.” . Then, like a ghost he-vanished along the passage In the direction of his own room. . THREE. At eight o’clock the next morning a burly looking ruffian brought' In some hot water and a cup of tea. As he pulled up the blinds thelight fell full on his battered, rugged face, and sud denly Hugh sat up in bed -and s,tared at hlin. I“Good Lord!” He cried, “aren’t you Jem Smith?” ' / . The man swung round like a flash and glared at the bed. “Wot the ’ell ’as that got to do wiv you?” he snarled, and then his face changed. “Why, strike me pink, if it ain’t young Drummond." Hugh grinned. “Bight In one, Jem. What In the name of fortune are you doing in this outfit? Given up the game?” “It give me up, when that cross-eyed son of a gun Young Baxter fought that cross down at ’Oxton. Gawd! if I could get the swine—just once again— s'welp me. I’d—” Words failed the ex bruiser; He could only mutter. Hugh smihid, “By the way,, has any one got a stiff neck In the house this morning?" “Stiff neck!” echoed the man. “Strike me pink If that ain’t funny— He Laughed Gently; Then He Fought in Silence. your asking, I mean. The bloke’s sit-" ting up in 'is bed swearing awful. Can’t move 'is ’ead at all:” “And who, might I ask, is the bloke?” said Drummond. *■ “Why, Peterson, o’ course. 'Oo else? Breakfast at nine.” . The door closed behind him, and Hugh lit a cigarette thoughtfully. Most assuredly he was starting In style; Lakington’s jaw one night, Pet erson’s neck the second, seemed a suffi ciently energetic opening to the game for the veriest glutton. Then that cheerful optimism which was the en vy' of his friends asserted itself. “Supposin’ I’d killed ’em,” he mur mured, aghast. “Just supposin’. Why, the bally show would have been over, and I’d have had to advertise again.” . Only Peterson was In the dining room when. Hugh came down. He had examined the stairs on his way, but he could see nothing unusual which would account for the thing which had whizzed past his head and clanged sul lenly against the wall. Nor was there any sign of the cobra by the curtained door; merely Peterson standing In a sunny room behind a bubbling coffee- machine. . . • He turned politely toward his host, and paused in dismay. “Good heavens, M r.. Peterson, is your neck hurting you?” “It is,” answered Peterson grimly. “A nuisance, having a stiff neck. Makes every one laugh, and one gets no sympathy. Bad thing—laughter. . . . At times; anyway.” “Curiosity is a great deal worse. Captain Drummord It was touch and go whether I killed you last night” “I think I might say the same,” re turned Drummond. “Yes and no,” said Peterson. “From the moment you left the bottom of the stairs, I had your life in the palm of my hand. Had I chosen to take it, my young friend, .I should not have had this stiff neck.” - Hugh returned to his breakfast unconcernedly. • .“Granted, laddie, granted. But had I not been of such a kindly and for bearing nature, you wouldn’t have had It,'•either.” He looked at Peter son critically. ’Tm inclined to think it’s a great pity I didn’t break your neck while I was about It" . Hugh- sighed and drank some coffee. “I see that I shall-have to- do it some day and probably Lakington’s as well. , ; . By the way, how ls our Henry? ' i trust his jaw is not. unduly incon veniencing him.” Peterson, with his coffee cup In his hand, was staring down the drive “Your car is a little early, Captain Drummond,”, he said at length. “How ever, perhaps it can wait two or three minutes while We get matters perfect ly clear." I should dislike you not knowing where.you stand.” He turned round and faced the soldier. “You have deliberately, against my advice elected to fight me and the interests I rcffivsent So he it. Frwn now bn ' ,,inves are off.

I ad mit it, and I admire you for i t I apologize now for having played the fool with you last night; you re the type of man whom one should kill out right—or leave alobe.” He s e t down: his. eoffee cup and care fully snipped the end off- a, cigar. . “You are also the type of-man. who will continue on-the path he has start ed You are completely in Ihe dark; you have no idea whatever what you are up against.” H e smiled grimly, and turned abruptly on Hugh. “You fool—you stupid young fool. Do you really'imagine that you can beat me?” The soldier rose -.and stood in front of him. '• “I have a few remarks of my own to make,” he answered, "and then we might consider the Interview closed. I ask nothing better than that the gloves should be off—though with your filthy methods of fighting, anything you touch will get very dirty. As you say, I am completely in the dark as to your plans ; but I have a pretty shrewd idea what I’m up. against. Men who can employ a thumbscrew on a poor defenseless brute seem to me to be several degrees worse than .an aborigi nal cannibal, and therefore if I put you down as one of the lowest types of degraded criminal I shall not be very wide of the mark. There’s no good you snarling at me, you swine; It does everybody good to hear some home truths—and don’t forget it was you who pulled off the gloves.” Drummond lit a cigarette; then his merciless eyes fixed'themselves again on Peterson. “There is only one thing more,” he continued.. “You have kindly warned me of my danger; let me give you a word of advice in my turn. I’m going to fight you; if I can, I’m going to beat you. Anything that may happen to me Is part of the game. But if anything happens to Miss Benton dur ing the course of operations, then, as surely as there is a God above, Peter son, Til get at you somehow and mur der you with my own hands.” For n few moments there was si lence,'and then with a short laugh Drummond turned away. “Shall we meet again soon?” He paused at the door and looked back. Petereon was still standing by tlie table, his face expressionless. “Very soon, indeed, young man,” he said quietly. “Very soon indeed. . . .” Hugh stepped out into the warm sunshine and spoke to his chauffeur. “Take her out into the main road, Jenkins,” he said, “and wait for me outside the entrance to the next house. I shan’t, be long.” 'Then he strolled through the gar den toward the little wicket-gate 'that led to The Larches. Phyllis! The thought-of her was singing In his heart to the exclusion of everything else. Just a few minutes with her; just the touch of her hand, the faint smell of the scent she used—and then back to the game. He had almost reached the gate, when, with a sudden crashing In the undergrowth, Jem Smith blundered out into the path. His naturally ruddy face was white, and he stared round fearfully. “Gawd! sir,” he cried, “mind" out .'Ave yer seenjt?” “Seen what, Jem?” asked. Drum mond. “That there brute. ’E’s escaped; and if ’e meets a stranger—” He left the sentence unfinished, and Stood listening. From somewhere hehtnd the house came a deep- throated, snarling roar; then the clang of a padlock shooting home In metal, followed by a series of heavy thuds as if some big aiiimal was hurl ing itself against the bars of a- cage. “They’ve (got it” muttered Jem. “You seem to have a nice little crowd of pets about the house,” re marked Drummond, putting a hand on the man’s arm as he was about to move off. “What ,was that docile creature we’ve just heard calling to Its young?” The ex-pugilist looked a't him sullenly. “Never you mind, sir; it ain’t no business of yours. An’ if I was you, >1 wouldn’t make it your business to find out.” A moment later he had disappeared into the bushes,--and Drummond was left . alone. Assuredly a cheerful household, he reflected; just the spot for a rest-cure. Tlien he saw a figure on the lawn of the next-house which banished everything else from . his mind,- and opening the gate, he walked eagerly .toward Phyllis Benton. “Long live the Brotherhood I” (TO BE CONTINUED.) .

DEPLETiOM OF IRON ORES There Is an Annual Demand for 75,000,000 Tons of Low-Grade Va riety—Direct Result of Ler- sons Taught by War. New York.—America's fast .thinning deposits are yielding more and more grudgingly the 75,000,000 tons of iron ore annually consumed in this coun try, according to authorities at Colum-. bla university, where the upbuilding of ore-dressing laboratories is being fostered by big outside enterprises. Profit from a bountiful supply of high-grade ores was easy in the old days, it was said, but now to reap even a small margin of gain enormous tonnages of low grade ores, requiring highly specialized scientific knowledge and skill, must be treated. The application of scientific knowl edge gained in college laboratories is facilitated by the co-operation of the universities and tlie industries, Arthur F. Taggart, professor of ore-dressing in the Columbia schools of mines, em gineering and chemistry, said in con nection with an announcement by the trustees of a gift of $2,500 for the pur chase and installation of new equip ment for the university’s ore-dressing laboratories. “T his'gift, by the Miami Copper company for the promotion of research in the problems of ore concentration, Is further evidence of the generous, at titude on the part of many company officials toward the engineering schools,” Professor Taggart said. Another Lesson From the War. “It is a direct result of the lesson taught by the war that much of the knowledge gained in pure research In the college laboratory can be rapidly and profitably applied to commercial technical operations by proper co operation between the technical staffs of commercial organizations iind the Investigators in '.lie universities. “The importance Qf thorough and specialized training in ore-dressing has been recognized coincidentally with the' rapidly increasing demand for scientific and technical knowledge im posed'on concentrating mill operators by the' constant diminution In grade of metallic ores available for exploita tion. In the old days of high-grade ore deposits no special knowledge was necessary to make a profit out of the treatment of the ores mined. “According to \y. G. Swart, mining and metallurgical engineer of Duluth, in. an article written for Engineering" Foundation, which Is fostering indus trial research on a nationwide scale, ‘each year there are consumed in-the United States about 75,000,000 tons of iron ore. Known deposits meeting this requirement are being rapidly depleted. The economic utilization of low-grade ores is the solution of this problem.’ ” • “To treat the present-day, low-grade ores at a profit requires the handling of enormous tonnages on a very small margin of possible gain,” Professor Taggart continued. ’!The successful initiation and direction of’ such proj ects call for the highest scientific' knowledge and engineering skill. Since no two problems of ore treat ment are alike, training In the subject properly takes the line of a thorough grounding In fundamental principles, with each lesson pointed, where pos sible, by an experiment with a typical piece of mill apparatus. Such train ing for-the general student In mining and metallurgy fits him for attack on the usual concentrating problems that will arise in his engineering experi ence. Intensive Training. “The man who plans to be a spe cialist in ore treatment needs more intensive training. This may be ob tained either In the field or in school, but such a man will save time if he does part of his preparation in a school where the experience of an in structor is ayailable for direction of his efforts and help in his difficulties. For such a student intensive research into some difficult and, preferably, slightly explored field is the best of all training. "His calls in later work will mostly come only because others have failed In the solution of the particular prob lem, which usually means that jt is new and difficult. 'Hence, his training must teach meUiods.of attack and aid' the development of the student’s im agination, initiative and analytical ability. Research as outlined will do this, or it- will make evident the Iacb of such qualities, without which sue« cessful specialization is impossible, and thus - save much labor and dis appointment. “Co-operation between the universi ties and the industries of- the country has been the subject of much thought within. tlie last few years and' many plans have been put forward to make such "co-operation effective and profit able to both parties.” Pawn Jewels for Safety. - London.—Many women are pawning their jewelry at a purely nominal fig ure before taking their holidays, sim ply for safety's sake; while many flat owners are pawning the. whole of their wardrobes, owing to the activi ties of the holiday season burglar. P ilo t H o ld s R e c o rd Has Traveled More Than 3,000,- 000 Miles on Ohio River. Captain Williamson, Slxty-Two Years In Service, Never Siek and Never Had Accident. ^ Cincinnati.—Capt. Edward Si Wil liamson, who recently celebrated his seventy-sixth birthday anniversary, be lieves he holds a river record that is unequaled. For 62 years he rode on boats on the Ohio river. For 55 years he was a licensed pilot. Now he Is captain of the steamer John S. Hub bard. which operates between Cincin nati and Louisville. The veteran river.pikit, In relating the interesting story, said: “I was about fourteen years of age when I was.Hrst employed on a boat operated by my father from Pomeroy, O., where I was born. I navigated the Ohio river for seven years, and when twenty-one I obtained a license as a full-fledged pilot. I passed the examination with out any troubje. All the men who were members of the board of examin ers have since died; “For 85 years I was pilot for the White Collar line, and made two trips n week between Pomeroy aijd- Cincin nati, traveling on an average of 1.000 miles fi week. At that rate, I traveled 52.000 miles a year, and in 35 years 1.820.000 miles. VInd you, in all that time I was never 111 or lost a day. “For five years I have been making two trips te Louisville each week. Each round trip is 300 miles, or 600 miles a week. That would npake a total of 156,- 000 miles in five’years.

Just-W here It Stood 100 Years Ago on Coast of South ern California. * San Diego, Cal.—The island of Ti buron, off the coast of Lower Califor- nla, is not infested by cannibals of the Geres tribe of Indians, but, on the con trary, is Inhabited by Indians of a very shy nature, who dwell .in: small grass huts on the iiorthem end of the island. Capt. George Allan Hiinpbck of Los A ngeles, master of the yacht Velero, lust returned from a. H.OOO-mile cruise dowu the coast of Lower California sm.l up the gulf to Siinta Itosalla, thus dis sipates the b e l i e f that man-eating In dians wait on Tlburon for luckless ad venturers or shipwrecked parties. Speaking of Ms trip, Captain Han- w k said: “We cruised along the coast of Low er California to' the. charming little city of La. Pazjand then around and in side the gulf for -400 miles. We were all curious to stop af*the much-talked- of island of Tiburon, on which cannibal Indians were ,believed to dwell. But although we went on the island armed to the teeth and looked for the warlike natives, not .one showed .up- to greet or eat us, Though'we saw traces of their habitation, crude little grass huts and other primitive evidence of their occu pation of the country, we failed to make the acquaintance of any of the Tiburon people.” Captain Hancock described the pearl fishing at La Paz.

POULTRY FLOCKS TEST EGGS AT LEAST TWICE Make inspection on Seventh and Four teenth Days for Those Infertile • ; or With Dead Germs. - (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) It is'of Uttle profit, for a h<?n to . sit patiently, for 21 days if the eggs over which she fluffs te r feathers are; in fertile or if the- gerihs in them have' died. Neither does it pay to run an incubator for three Weeks, with its at tendant care and expense, if the eggs in it are not fertile. : . • AU poultry owners who raise chicks should be thoroughly familiar with the method of testing eggs. An egg, whether it is. fertile or not, has a-small, grayish spot,- known as the germinal spot, on. the surface of the yolk. As soon as. a fertile- egg is placed un"der_ a hen of in an incubator the' develop ment. of the germ begins. AU eggs should be. tested, ait least twice during the. incubation-period, shy poultry spe cialists of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. This is done, preferably on the seventh and four teenth days. The infertile, eggs, and Testing Egg by Use of Metal Chimney Tester. these with dead germs, should then be removed. Whlte-shell eggs can. be tested on the. fourth or fifth .day, whereas the development of eggs hav ing brown shells often ran not he seen by the use of the ordinary egg tester until' the seventh, day. A satisfactory home-niade egg tester' or candler can be made with a shoe box or any other box large enough to hold, the lamp. Cut a hole a .little larger ,than a 25-cent piece in the side of the box, so that when the lahip is placed- inside the.hox:the- hole .iuoth.0. side will b j opposite the flame. Make ' a hole also in the top of the box lkrge enough to prevent the top from , catch- ing .fire from the heat of the lamp; When the chimney is long enough, al low 'it'to extend through the top “of the box. This permits the heat to es cape, and avoids the risk-of. fire.. Spe CiaI care should always be, exercised In using kerosene lamps in candling to prevent fire. To prevent further possibility of fire, a wooden box may be used In place of a pasteboard one,' and, if desired, the opening through which the chimney extends may be lined with tin or.asbestos. - EIeCtric^or gas lamps may . be used in a box with a bole in the same way that the kerosene lamp is used. The. hole which is in the side of the box should be on the- same leyel as the light., The eggs may also be tested by sunlight' or daylight using a shade or- curtain with a hole In It for the light to shine through. - . , .Testing with a tester or candler. should be done In a dark room. Hold each egg with the large end up, so that the size of the air cell may. be seen, as well its the' conditiontof the embryo; or germ. An infertile egg. when can- died looks perfectly clear, the- same as a fresh one; while ,a fertile egg shows a dark spot known as the-em bryo, with a-mass of little blood veins radiating in all- directions. When the germ is dead, and the. 'egg has been incubated for at least. 48 hours, the blood settles away from the embryo ■toward the edges of the yolk, .forming In some cases an. irregular circle of blood, known ;'as a bio'od ring. Eggs vary in this respect, some showing only a streak of blood. . - AU infertile eggs, and those with dead germs, should be removed at the end of the first test. - Eggs with dead germs soon decay and give off a bad odor if allowed to remain; The Infer tile eggs make;, good feed, for young chickens. ' ' .. A t-the second test, on the fourteenth day, the eggs containing strong, living embryos will-.be dark and well filled up, showing a d ear,. sharp, distinct line between the Mr cell and the grow ing embryo, while eggs with dead- germs will show oilly partlal develop ment and-lack this dear; district out line; .. " • .The period of incubation for hen's eggs is 21 days, but usually some of the eggs hatch the evening of the twen tieth-day. Sometimes it happens, how ever, that-the hatch will run over the' twenty-flrst day, especially during cool weather. Water, Ta Essential. . . One/dozen eggs contain about-one pint’of water. Clean, fresh, pure'wa ter should be kept constantly'before the hens and should be renewed at least once dally, say. spedallsts of the Unlted - States Department of-Agricul ture.- .- Children Cry Fo I M t I C b eerfu to essaiid B ^ J Ms? ■a flg S g S r../ B h d F e v e r l s b ^ s r a n Special Care of Baby.

' . .. - In; the- old ecclesiastical songs the voice which' sang the-chant-melody.- and pround tvhich otfier,parts grouped themselves was railed the “tenor'.’.’ This'task had to be intrusted to the person with the highest or loudest voice. The word Is derived from the Latin teneo (I hold) and meant noth ing more than that the tenor “carried the tune.” - • Voices were not formerly distributed as at present. W. J. Henderson in his “Early History of Singing” says: “We should undoubtedly be amazed to find Julius Caesar singing soprano or Achilles contralto, but the opera go ers of the Seveneteenth century-Would have'been much astonished If either of them had been a barytone or a bass. At most they could have been tenors, but neither In that rase would have been the principal personages ' In the drama. He would surely have been a soprano."

Mr Editor:—I thank you for space enough in your good paper forme to pass my opinion about tjie Law and Order League, and if tiley were all like me it would go down like the Titanic went to tlje bottom of the ocean,, and I am go ing to fight it from start to finish. Not that I am so against the League but the way .some of .the League members are doing, talking where they haven’t any business' whatev e r , and accusing people of doing things that they are not guilty of doing I heard one of the good League men say that he saw a mer chant sell a man a sack of sugar and just as well to say he knew the man was going to make whisky out of it. He asked some of the. mem bers if they were going to allow anything like that, !don’t know what the people do with the sugar they buy, and I am npt trying to find out. I am not meddler enough to walk up to the people ’and' ads them what they do with the sugar: I am not upholding' the' moon shines, but I am against thi? Leai gne they have around here: We have got State officers and.have as good a Sheriff as has eyet been in Davie county, and I think he has got grit enough, to do his., work without the League’s meddling help, buc some of the League shin-: ere think they are so great the elect ted officers can’t.do';without thdf help, and some of- the members never do anything wrong. ; I don’t believe in going to -the - chinch to hear whisky preached. . People who believe in haying peace wit^ey^Y-; body are not going to. try Jtp tend to everybody’s business andJaccuse people of doing things they are not guilty of. Ifsomepeoplesee where a man has burned a pile of corn stalks he is ready to report whisky being made there. If you .want“ to have peace and friends/ and live as you aught, stay at home and tend to your own business and quit try ing to make your living reporting stills. If the rivers Wefeywhisky and the branches were wine, no doubt but what some of the League, men would be in swimming half of their time. I don’t know of any- body making moonshine* and I‘tn tot accusing the League men? of ■taking it. It would' be: mighty easy for somebody to join just • for a sham. There isn’t a:.man of wom an who wants to see their son go' to the pen and I don’t say there is: aty parents who want to: see their sons make whisky, but some of the people say if their sons, make whis ky go to them and tell them they are m the wrong and are. violating the law and then if they don’t quit Put the law to them! - That is a uiistake. No man wants to see his s°us go to the pen, no-matter what they do. They may talk to them and beg them not lo dotfies^ thihgs sod tell them if they;g&;-iqto these roubles, they won’t help them out. ere 1S110 man or woman who, if heir son, or husband, or < brother Sets m trouble but what would run a over the State trying to get them 0Ut. No doubt but what there is tn^e Wotnen an^ children suffering ay for something to eat on ac- coHnt of some smart Alex’s smart- h^s. How would you like for your n I husband or brother to be Iook- aS i^ough the'bars wishing they treat home and' wondering if 'htir family were well.

I just want to say if our cow trad er’s brains was dynamite it would not have pressure enough to raise the dandruff on his. head. Some of the League men said I didn’t have sense enough to write a letter like this. T am doing this without any help or any advice, and if I haven’t got sense enough to write a letter I have got sense enough to stay out-.of the League. I t ' has caused more trouble and more hard feelings since this League has been around • than ever before. The good Book says do by those as you wish for them to do by you. ’ The League is so against a little whis ky. Matt. 15:11 says: “Not that which goeth into the moutli defil-. eth a man, but that which cometh out of the mouth that defileth the -man.,’ ’ Our good-Law and-Order League members belieye in getting a nian into trouble without notice to him. Matt. 18:15, says: “If thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell-him his .faults’ between thee ahd him alone; if heshall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother, but if he. will hot hear thee, then take with thee one of two \inore that in the mouth of two or ’ three ,witnesses every word may be es tablished. ” I would like to - ask the Lcague how many times ..they Vent to a man. Don’t our Bible tell us to do unto others as we wish others to do unto us. Love thy neighbor as thyself, and didn’t Christ say that he did not come to condemn but to save, and friends I just want to say we cap obey the laws of our country without join ing the .league,. I believe in law ahd order asmuch as any Of - ydu' League men, and I don’t belong, in the League and am not going to. St. John, 2:9-10-11: “ He that say- eth he is in the Iiglft^ and hatheth his brother, ’is in darkness even un til now; he that Ioveth his brother abideth ip the light, and there is no occasion .of stumbling in him, but he that hateth his brother is in darkness and-Walketh in darkness •and knowetb not whither, he goeth because that darkness has blinded his eyes.’.’ How can a, man hate his brother and get him into trou ble. the League men would get their mind on the Bible and off of their brothers, they would be better off, ROBERT L- WILLIAMS.

M. Dole, observer :at the local weather bureau, who ad mits he is sort of a “bug’’ on as tronomy. Inastatement made last night concerning extraading goings on in skias Mr. Dole had somethings to say about the three comets that are not being watched with geat in terest by. astronomers all over the world. ‘ ‘Unfortunately the comets them selves ai;e very faint and not. at all interesting to the casual observer. Nuinber one is only seen by the large telescope and is being follow ed by photogra_ghy. Reid’s comet Was seen Sunday and last night by. the observer and now nearing the. big dipper. It is seen as e star of the fifth magnitude, with a small tail, and is moving very rapidly and getting fainter. Thefaintness is due to the. fact that we are on the other side of the sun from the comet and the comet and earth are moving in opposite directions. Were it on this side it would be a fine sight. "' “The most interesting body to as tronomers is Pons-Winneck’s comet which was discoyered in 1815 by Pons andjwhick has returned many- times since., - ; This comit orginally had. a period_.around tbC 'Stih’ of nearly. icKO years, but passing near Jupiter, the plenet now S.een almost overhead it was capture dand its path changed so that its period of return is every five years and eight months.

FOUR. “I heard you were down here,” she . snld gravely, holding out her hand to him. “I’ve been sick with anxiety ever since fath'er toid me he’d seen you.” Hugh Imprisoned the Httle hand in his own huge ones, and smiled reas suringly, “Don’t worry, little girl,” he said. •‘Years ago I was told by an old gypsy that I should die in my bed of old age and excessive consumption of in valid port. . ; . As a matter of fact, the cause of my visit was rather humorous. They nhducted me in the / middle of the night, with an ex-sol dier of my old battalion, who was, * I regret to state, sleeping off the effects of much indifferent liquor, In my rooms. They thought he was your American millionaire cove, and the wretched MuHings was too drunk to deny It. In 1Iact, I don’t think they ever asked his opinion at all.” Hugh Srlnned reminiscently. “A (pathetic spectacle.” “Oh! but splendid,” cried the girl a little breathlessly. “Tell me, where Js the American now?' “Many miles out of London,” an swered Hugh. ‘I think we’ll leave It at that. The less yon know, Uiss Benton, at the moment—the better.” "Have yon found out anything?” she ■demanded eagerly. Hugh shook his head. "Not a thing. Except that your neighbors are as pretty a bunch of scoundrels as I ever want to meet.” “But you'll let me know if you do.” She laid a hand beseechingly on his arm. “You know what’s at stake for me, don’t you? Father, and—oh! but you know." “I know,” he answered gravely. "I kriOT^, old thing. I promise I’ll let you know anything I Snd out. And in the meantime I want you to keep an eye fixed on what goes on next door, and let me know anything of Importance by letter to the Juitior Sports club.” He iit . a cigarette thoughtfully.' “I have an - idea , that they feel so absolutely confident in their own power that they are going to tnake the fatal, mistake of underrating their opponents, We shall see.” He turned to Tierwith a twinkle in his eye. "Anyway, our Mr. Lakington will see yOuit you don’t come to any harm.” “The brute.’” she cried, very low. "How I hate . him I” Tiien with a sudden change of tone she looked up at Drummond, “i don’t know whether it's worth mentioning,” she said slowly, “but yesterday afternoon four men came .at different times to Hie. Elms. They' were the sort of type one sees tub-thumping in Hyde Parfc all except one, who looked like a re-' spectable workingman.” " . Hugh shook his head. “Don’t stem to help much) doer it? Still, one never knows. Let me know- anything'like that. In. future at. the «lub.” "Good morning, Jitlss Benton.” Peterson's voice behind' them made Drummond swing round with a smoth ered curse. “Our inestimable friend, CaptniB Drummond, brought such a tilce young felViw to see me: last night, and then left Mm lying about' the Iiousc this morning. I have sent him along tc sour car,” continued Peter son KHHYpIj\ '•which I trust was' tiie ^orrert procedure. ■ Or "did you want to give Sin; to ine as n pet?” 1 ' "From a rapid survey, Mr. Peterson, I ’should think you have quite enough already,” said Hugh. “I trust you paid him the money you owe him." "I will allot It to him to my will,” remarked Peterson. “If you - do the same In yours, doubtless lie will get it trou one of us sooner or later. In the meantime, Miss Benton, Is jour father up?” The girl frowned. “No—not yet,” "Then I will go and see Mm In bed. For the. present, au revoir.” He walked toward the house, and they m h “Oh! but Splendid," Cried the Girl a Little Breathlessly.' ,- watched him go in silence. And- it was as he opened the drawing-room window that Hugh called after him: “Do you like the horse Elliman’s or the ordinary brand?” he asked. ‘Til send you a bottle for that stiff neck of yours.” Very deliberately,) Peterson turned round. “Don’t trouble, thank you, Captain Drummond, I have my own reme dies, which are far more efficacious." CHAPTER V. In Which There is Trouble at Goring. ONE. The car slowed up before the post- office and Hugh got out There were one or two things he proposed to do in London before going to Goring, and it struck him that a wire to Peter Darrell might allay that gentleman's uneasiness if he was late in getting down. So new was he to the tortuous ways of crime, that the foolishness of the proceeding never entered his head; up to date in his life, if he had wished to send a'.wire, he had sent one. And so it may.be deemed a sheer fluke on his part, that a man dawdling by the counter aroused his suspicions. He was a perfectly . or dinary man, chatting casually with the girl on the other side; but it chanced that, just, as Hugh was hold ing the postoffice pencil up, and gaz ing at its so-called point with an air of resigned anguish, The perfectly or dinary man ceased chatting and looked at hiin. Hugh caught his eye for a fleeting second; then the con versation continued. And as he turned to pull out the pad of forms, it struck him that the man had looked away just a trifle too Quickly. 1, . . A grin spread slowiy over his face, and after a moment's'. hesitation he proceeded to compose . a short wire. He wrote it In black letters Jor addi tional clearness; he also pressed his hardest, a s ' befitting' a blunt pencil. Then with the form in his hand he ad-; vanced to the counter, “How long will -it take to deliver ,In London?" he asked the girl. The girl was not helpful. It de pended,, he gathered, pn a variety-Of circumstances, of wHbh not the least was. Oiel perfectly ordinary man who Jtalked so charmingly. ' “I don’t think- I’ll bother, ■ then,” he said, thrusting the wire into his pocket., "Good morning.. . . .” He walked to the door, and shortly afterward his car rolled, down the street ' ' : With what the girl considered pecu liar abruptness, the perfectly ordinary man Concluded his (Conversation with her, and decided that he. too-would send a wire. And then,: after a long and thoughtful pause at the writing- bench, she distinctly heard an unmis takable' “I>—n.” : Then he walked out, and she saw him no more. Moreover, it :s to be . regretted that the.perfectly ordinary man told a lie a little later In the day/-when giving his report to some one whose neck ap parently inconvenienced ‘ him greatly. But then a lie is ,frequently more tactful , than tie truth, and to have announced that the-sole result of his morning’s labors had been to decipher , a wire addressed to.-.Tiie Elms, which, contained the cryptic' remark,. “Stung again, stiff neck, stung agaiii," would not have been tactful; So he ■ lied, as has been stated.th^reby showing his wisdom. . Sut though DriSnmond ,chuckled to himself as the car rushed'through the fresh morning air, once-or twice a gleam that was not" altogether amuse ment, shone In: his eyes. For four years he had played one game where no mistakes, were allowed;' the little Incident of the po3toffice had helped to bring to his mind the certainty that he had now embarked on another where the conditions were much the same. That he had scored up to date was luck rather than good manage ment, and he was far too shrewd not to realize It. Mow,'he was marked, and luck with' a marked man cannot be tempted too far. Alone and practically unguarded he had challenged a gang of International criminals; a gang not only utterly un scrupulous, but controlled by a mas ter mind. Of its power as yet he had no clear idea; of its size and Imme diate object he had even less. Per haps it was as well. Had he realized even dimly the immensity of. the Is sues he was up against, had he . had hut an inkling' of the magnitude of the plot conceived In the sinister ^raln of his host of the’ previous evening, then, cheery optimist though he was, even Hugh Drummond might have wavered. But he had no such lhkling, and so the gleam In his eyes was but transitory, the chuckle that succeeded It more whole-hearted than before. Was.. It not sport In. a land flowing with strikes and profiteers; sport such as his soul loved? “I am afraid, Mullings,” he said his car stopped In front of his club, “that the kindly gentleman with whom we spent last night has re pudiated his obligations. He refuses to meet the bill I gave him for your services; Just watt here a moment.” He went inside, returning In a few moments with a folded check, . "Round the comer, ‘ Mullings, and an obliging fellah In a black coat will shovel you out the necessary Brad- burys.” The man glanced at the check, “Fifty pounds, sir!”' he gasped. “Why—It’s too much, sir. . : . I . . ." , “The laborer, Mullings, iq worthy of his hire. Toa have been of the very greatest assistance to me; and incidentally, It Is more than likely tlmt I may want you again. Now, 'where can I get hold of you?” “18 Green Street, ’Oxton, sir, ’11 al ways find me. And any time, sir, as you wants me. I’d like to come just fpr the sport of the thing.” Hugh grinned. “Good lad. And it may be sooner than you think.” - TWO.\ i Inside the Junior Sports club. High Drummond was burying bis nose In a large tankard of the ale for which that cheery pot-house was still fam ous. A waiter was ,arranging the first editions of <the evening papers on a': tablt, and Hugh beckoned to. him to bring one. Cricket, racing, the latest divorce case, and the latest strike—ail the usual headings were there. Ant] he was just putting down the paper, to again concentrate on his problem, when a paragraph caught his eye. “STRANGS MDRDER IN BELFAST “The man whose body , was discov-. ered In such peculiar circumstances near the docks has been identified as Mr: James Granger, the confidential secretary to Mrv Hiram Potts, the American multi-millionaire, at present in this country. The unfortunate victim of this dastardly outrage—his head, as we (reported. in our last night’s issue, was nearly severed from his body—had apparently been, sent over on business by. Mr. Potts, and had arrived the preceding day. <What he was v doing In the locality In which he was found Is a mystery. “We understand that Mr. Potts, who has recently been Indisposed, has re- ■ turned, to the Carlton, and is greatly upset at the sudden, tragedy. “The police are confident that-they will shortly obtain a due, though the rough element in the locality where the murder was committed, presents great' difficulties. It seems clear- that the motive was robbery, as all the > murdered' man’s pockets were'rifled.' But the-most , peculiar thing about the Case is the extraordinary ca?e taken by the murderer to prevent She' identifi cation of the. body. Every article of clothing, even' down to the murdered man’s socks, had had the nam e, torn out, and !t was only through the crim inal overlooking the tailor’s tab Inside the inner breast-pocket of Mr. Grniig-, er*s coat that the police were enabled to Identify the body.” Drummond slid down the pdper oh his knees, and stared a little dazedly at the dub’s immortal founder. / 1HoIy smoke! laddie," lie mur-. mured, “that ■ man.

'tWhat Is th is jo b r Together the two men strolled into the luncheon-room, and long after the cheese had been finished, Algy -Long- worth was still listening In silence to his companion. “My dear old bean," he murmured ecstatically as Hugh finished, “my very dear old bean. I think it’s the most priceless thing'I ever heard. Enroll me as a member of the. band. And, Incidentally, Toby Sinclair Is running round m ‘circles asking for trouble. Let’s rope him in.” ‘" ■ “Go and find him this afternoon, Algy,” said Hugh rising. “A.nd. tell him to keep his mouth shut. I’d come with you. but it occurs to _me that the wretched .

It was his suggestion of telling Toby Sinclair that caused the smile. For it had started a train of thought In Drummond's mind which seemed to \ 9 “My Dear Old Bean," THe Murmiireel Ecstatically as Haflh Finished. “My Very Dear Old Beari."., him to be good. If !Sinclair—why not two or three’ more equally trusty sportsmen? Why not a'gang of the boys? Toby possessed a V. C„ and a good One—for there are grades of the V.

Now, Tm not. And I ttiqSr th«rf If you will have - this note • delivered to Mr. Potts, he will see me.” . He sat down a t a table, and drew a sheet of paper toward him. Two facts were certain: First,; that the man upstaii-s was not the real.Potts; second, that he was one of Petersons, gang. The difficulty was to know ex actly how to word the note. .There might be some mystic pass-word, the omission o f which would prove hlta an impoetor at onee. At length he took a pen. and wrote rapidly; he would have to chance it./ “Urgent. A message, from head quarters." He sealed the . envelope and handed It with the necessary five shillings: for postage to the man. Then he sat down to wait. After what seemed an Interminabie delay he saw the mes senger crossing the lounge. . “Mr. Potts will see you, sir.” Hugh followed his guide along a corridor, and paused’ outside a door while he went into a room. He heard a ' murmur of voices, and then the man-reappeared. “This way, sir,” he saidi and Hugh stepped Inside, to stop with an invol untary gasp of surprise. The- man seated in the chair was Potts', to all intents and purposes. The likeness was extraordinary, -and had he not known that the real article was at Goring he would have been com pletely deceived himself. The man waited till the door waa closed:' then he rose" and stepped forward suspiciously. “I don’t, know you,” be said. “Who are you?” “Since when has every one em ployed at headquarters known one another?" Drummond returned guard edly. “And, incidentally,, your like ness to our lamented friend is won derful. It very nearly deceived even me.” The man, not ill-pleased, gave a short langfii “It’ll pass, I think. But it’s risky, These cursed importers have been badgering the whole morning. .... 'And if his wife- or- somebody comes over, what then?- It wasn’t like Rosca to bungle In Belfast. He’s never, left a dug before; and he hai! plenty of time to do the job prop erly.” ’ “A name Inside a' breast-pocket might easily be overlooked,” remarked Hugh, seizing the obvious -clue. “Are you making excuses, for him?" snarled the other. “He’s failed, and failure is death. Such is our rule. Would you have it altered?” “Most certainly not. The Issues are far too great for any weakness. . . .” “You’re right, my friend—you’re right. LongilIlve the Brotherhood.’’ He stared out of the window with smouldering-eyes, and Hugh preserved a discreet silence. Then suddenly the other broke out again.- . . . “Have they -killed that insolent puppy of a soldier yet?” “Er—no.t'. yet” murmured’ Hugii mildly. “They must find the, American alt once.” The man thumped the table emphatically. “It was important be fore—* t least his money was. Now with this blunder—it’s vital.’-’ . “Precisely,” said Hugh. “Precise ly.” “I’ve.already Interviewed one man fcom Scotland Tai>d,» but every hour increases the-danger. However, you have a message for me. W hat is i t r Hugh rose and casually picked up his h a t He bad got more out of the interview than he had hoped for, and there was nothing to be gained by prolonging it. But it struck him that Mr. Potts’ Impersonator was a man of unpleasant disposition, and that tactically a flanking movement to tie. door. Was indicated. . And, being of an ,open nature himself, It Is possible ,that the real state of affairs showed for a moment on his* face. ^ Be that as it may, something suddenly aroused the other’s suspicions, and with a snarl of fury he sprang past Hugh to the door. - •‘Who are y o u r He spat the words out venomously, at the same time whipping an. ugly-looking knife out of his pocket ■.

Mr. Thomas lately returned, from a 'visit to Europe. “I learned, while In London,' that I had been elected president of .the American chamber of commerce for the Levant,” said Mr. Thomas. “I refer to the newly-organ ized American section of the chamber, now maintaining headquarters In New York. It will co-operate with the long- established chamber of the same name which has its seat InvConstantinople. “The organization of this chamber is a timely movement to promote re ciprocal trade'relations between Amer ica and that great area—extending from Egypt to Bussla, and from Per sia to Italy—of which Constantinople is the center. Gateway to Vast Empires, “Very few people appreciate that Europe and Asia meet at the feet of Constantinople,” continued Mn Thom as. ‘The chain of waters; the Dar danelles, the Sea of Marmora and the Bosphorus, made available for free commerce, open the gateway to vast empires of populous and fertile terri tories beyond. When we realize that Bussla, a country considerably more than twice as large as the United States, has few seaports that are not Ice-bound for the greater part of the year, except those situated on the Black sea, we may Imagine what enormous traffic will flow through' Con stantinople when Russia, with a hun dred million of her people nearby, gets into her commercial stride.” . “Then consider Roumanla, now with twice her former area—a country of great natural resources, with a pres ent population, of 15,000,000. Bulgaria too, noted for a sturdy and industri ous population, has her commercial outlet on the Black sea. And even on the farther side of the -Black sen is a group of states which .eventually must occupy an important place in over-seas trade. “Jugo-Siavia, now vast in area by comparison with Old Serbia, with substantial natural resources and a- population of over 14,OOODOO has,' of course, one trade outlet via the Adri atic, and another via the Danube to the Blade sea. Without any doubt .the DanubevIs soon to play a much more Important part in the trade of the Balkan states than It has ever done in the past ' ' Hm Natural Wealth. “Both Jugo-Siavia and Greater Greece will hold a , more Important position than now 'in the Levantine trade of the future,. Egypt Is growing into a land of commercial significance. While certain territories have been detached from Turkey . since the, w ar/ there remains much fertile and valu able land. Turkey is rich In minerals of all kinds. “The war and Its aftermath npset exchange throughout the Near East, and.Jhis has-made commercial trans actions difficult for the present. But the natiirai wealth is there; and a population for the most- part industri ous. Trade must surely grow.' “A high official of an international bank, one who is recognized as having unusually broad and accurate knowl edge of Ottoman financial -matters, stated to me at Constantinople that In Turkey fully 65,000,000 In gold is hoarded by the people In ‘stocklng-leg banks,’ and not deposited a t: all with the public bankers^ 1In this connec tion it should Vbe remembered that the oriental -mind Is accustomed to think, financially, !in terms' of ‘hard money,’, and that prior to-the European' War only gold and silver were’ In circula tion, to any extent, In Turkey. - There is evidence that great private wealth exists'there today, in gold, silver-and jewels, not to mention other valuables, and this wealth will come into the current ' market as trade retiirns to normal. “The Levant Offeris a ..splendid , op-; portunity -foe the- inybstment of Amer-; lean - capital, In a wide range of en- terprises^O ae of the great opeplrigs of the present Is for-the construction of dwellings,--warehouses, harbor; im provements. and so forth.

People living on the other' side of the* Bosphorus lack sufficient facilities for commuting to Constantinople. “The development of roadways on the European side of the Bosphorus is another matter for business enter prise. If the Bosphorus is not the most beautiful body of water in the world, I should like to know where It is to be found. A proper, driveway along the shores of the Bosphor&s would father tax the memory of a worid-trav- eler to recall anything more charm ing. "Opportunity for housebuilding and other forme of. construction are-open In the other cities of the Levant' as. well as In Constantinople. There Is widespread need for railroad construc tion and rehabilitation; while at the seaports modern .docks and wharves and up-tcHlate-freight handling equip ment must be provided. “The Levant should become a grow ing market for American machinery and manufactures of "all .kinds. Im portations from the Levant must be stimulated, too, in order to improve the' exchange and credit situation so that the Near East can buy more from America.

Weeds have -been with us since the day when Adam, doomed to earn his 'bread by the sweat of his brow, began scraping with a stick at the plants he did not want in order to give those he did want a chance to grow. In modern days farmers are apt to ignore weeds or to accept them as an inevitable evil. Weerf Destruction Paramount. TheresuIts of over 200 experiments conducted by the United States De partment of Agriculture with, various crops strongly indicate that after pre paring the seed bed, the mam object of cultivation is to destroy weeds. If ONJ&&' s s io o m d o c k SUihur SSL NL U„ CHARLOTTE.iSO. 23-19#. A Knowledgs of Weed Characteristics Provides Means of Control. this theory is correct the weed-control problem overshadows all others with which the farmer is confronted. Mod ern agricultural science has discovered much concerning the control and erad ication of these insidious land thieves. The wild onion, for example, was con sidered a hopeless problem from Mas sachusetts-to Georgia, and as; far west as Missouri and Arkansas until a weed specialist in the Department-of; Agri culture discovered that the plant pro duced two kinds of bulbs. One type was soft-coated, and formed the new plants during late summer; and fall; the other was hard so that-it was un harmed by winter, and ready to .form the new plants in the spring. With this to guide Vhem the specialists proved that the wild onion can be con-- trolled by plowing deeply In- the late fall to destroy the plants originating from the soft-coated bulbs; and - by planting an intertilled crop, such as corn, the following .spring'to kill the plants that cojne up- from the hard- coated bulbs. s- Weedy roadsides - are -constant sources of trouble for- the adjoining farm lands. Tlie seeds are carried miles by automobiles, horses, and pass ing wagons, so that they become’a. menace to the whqle community. If nothing better can be done with the IaOadside weeds-.,they can be mowed twice a year. This treatment, if well kept up, will effectively check the trou ble.

PEPPER PLANTS NEED EXTRA CARE TO GROW Few Plants Required by !he, Av erage FamHyf . Prepare Seed Bed, by ForhHig or. " Spading to Depth of 8 or 9 1 rushes, : Working-; in Well-Rotted Ma- nure and Fertilizer. (Prepared by the United States D epart ment *£ Agriculture.) Sweet peppers, sometimes called Chinese peppers and Mammoth -pep pers, are becoming more and more pop ular as a crop for planting In. the home; garden. Only a few plants are neces sary to supply the family of average size with all -the peppers they will want, but it takes good land and extra care to produce peppers of high qual ity, say garden specialists of the Uni ted States Department .of Agriculture. Pepper plants are -easily injured by cold and the plants should be started in the house, In a hotbed, of In a greenhouse. Perhaps the best way is to purchase a dozen or so gobd plants from some seedsman or plant grower. In preparing , the soil for peppers, first spade or fork the land over to a depth of eight or. nine inches. At the same time work in some, well-rotted ma nure and a large handful of comruer- cial fertilizer to each square yard of space. This should be done at least a week before the pepper plants are set out. Then loosen the surface thor oughly at the time the plants are set. Frequent cultivation is necessary, and an occasional application of weak Ii- -quid manure to the sell around, the plants will keep them growing vigor ously. Large, tdndm/peppers can only be produced on thrifty plants, and In' order to keep the plants producing all the peppers should be kept picked off and none allowed to ripen. Bnby -King, Chinese Giant, and Large Bell or Bull Kose are among the. leading varieties of the large sweet peppers. Pimento peppers are mild in flavor and are largely grown in ;the Southern states for making.the pimen to pickled peppers. The pimento, pep pers can be used in the same way as; the regular sWeetpeppers, or they may. be left on the plants until red ripe, then used for canning.

Agriculture Experts Recommend Use of Ventilators . ' • -of Latticework. .:v i. Ijay, especially, alfalfa or clover, ls„ likely to suffer damage through heat ing in the barn. This can be prevented by ventilation. To ventilate a hay bam the United; States .Department of Agri culture' experts recommend the use of lattice ventilators- 12 to 15 Inches square and- as long , as convenlent.- These ventilators, .’which look some' what like elongated crates, are made with corners consisting of 2 by 4 scantlings slatted together with nar-' row boards 12 to 15 inches long. They should be braced to prevent crushing. The ventilators are laid in 'the hay 10 or .12 feet apart horizontally and far enough-apart vertically so that the. .distance will not be more than 8 or Iff feet after the hay has settled. The ends should- come out to the'edge of the hay so as to permit free passage, of . air. - This will permit ’the carrying' off of steam -caused by evaporation and. will preserve the hay and prevent over- heating. The vehtllators can' be made of .various sizes'of . material, and, If: strongly ,-Constructed, will last manjr yearn.-; .- ; .

When it had got a little way into the water it stopped and remained perfectly still, as a heron might when fishing at home. Its glance was never once taken off the water, ■ .- Suddenly it thrust its head into an oncoming wave, and reappeared with a large fish In its mouth. Quickly tak- ;lng- its capture ashore it squatted down and made a hearty meal. After a while-the-fishing operation was re peated, and It was evident fo the wit ness of the incident that the dog made a regular practice of it. ' N — i • Wreck!

With singularly bad taste: do such observations come from lawmakers who M old sneered at the “mudsill” farmer, who paid wages to his labor and landed the agriculturist who bought his labor a's he did his mul es. For a large part of our colonial history nearly every man who came here; was a farmer. The rural - merchant had ground of his own, the pastor almost invariably raised a large part, of the food he consum ed. iIOf our first seven Presidents five were planters, John Adms and his sou were New lingland farmer stoc^—it was not then in order to ridicule a man because he came fromthe field and the furrows. In days OfiSmall manufacturing plants of a minitig industry hardly enough to be' reckoned, of crude domestic implements and a little money the land was a land of promise and backwoods clearings were outposts of civilization. • Strong in the: mercantile towns of the seaboard the Federalists did not sufficiently consider the needs of the farmers, and that hastened their downfall. Jefferson’s propt- ness in the repealing the tax on whiskey strengthen his party a- mong those who raised the raw material. Itwas-because Jefferson’s - Madison and Monroe had the ma jority of .the farmers with them that the Democratic party attained its moral: as well as political in- -fluence. The tariff, as‘ Jackson said,, would draw from agrieulture so large a population that a home market would be created. Our tariff of 1824 was as truly a bill in the interest of the farmers, as the Homestead law of a later period. Had not the Republican party consulted the needs of the farmers it could not have had its long tenure of power. It . is because, it gave new acres to the settler, because it open up routes to the seaboard, by cause it looked out for the best way to meet insect invaders, because it drained and -irrigated vast tracts long non-productive that it won the support of great states beyond the Alleghenies-and on the futher bank of the Mississippi. The' Re publican party helped the farmers, the farmers who paid all who labor ed for them. It did not uphold peonage, it did not favor any system that would practically restore a freedman to slavery. It did want the votes of farmers, and it sought to get them by deserving them. Did the Florida senator deem it a crime to aid the farmer? If he did that atrocious crime the Republican party will not endeavor to' palliate cir to deny.—Exchange.- ‘ Likkeredn Candy- is SeemiogIy j Gcae Astray.
