When the afternoon waned and God frey did not call on her Gerty was roused to uneasiness. Had she angered him by refusing to make the definite promise? Could It be love, the sort of love she wanted. If he could stay away like this wheh tbey could have the camp to themselves, every one down at the break, no Hardlns running: In every minute? Their first chance and God frey slighting It! - i He would sarely come that evening, knowing that she would be alone I The little watch Tom had given her for an almost forgotten birthday set tbe pace for her resentment: Nine, ten, eleven I How dared he treat her so? She blew out the lamps when she found that she was shaking with anger and undressed In the dark. She could not see him. If he came now, her self-control all gonel But she could not go to bed. She stood in her darkened tent, shaken by her angry passions. Suppose that he were only trifling with her? What was that paper he had thrust In her hand? With a candle she found the yellow paper. It was a copy of a telegram to Godfrey's law yer. "Start divorce proceedings at once. Any grounds possible. Back soon. Godfrey." • ' -«c*er» :so The frightened blood resumed Its normal flow. If he had done this for her then she had not lost him. An ap parent elopement, why had she never thought of that before? That would cement their bond. Her scruples could grow on the road. Oh, she could man age Godfrey 1 She would go with him. She remembered that she must go to bed If she were to have any looks In the morning. When Godfrey came to her next af ternoon, penitent, refreshed after a long morning's sleep, he found a charming hostess. She was shy about his telegram. Enehantlngly distant when he tried to reach her hand! "I can't go without you," he cried. He had discovered her interpretation of his telegram and It delighted him; he began to believe in his own Intention. "I know. You shrink from It all. You dread the steps that will free you. You need me beside you to help you. Let's cut the knot. Tonight 1" "Not tonight. Maybe tomorrow," whispered Gerty, and then she man aged a few tears and he was allowed to kiss her. It was all arranged before he left the ramada. They were to leave together the next day. Her ob ject would be accomplished by their leaving together. He would feel that he owed her his name. Of course Gerty must do It In the conventional way! She would have used rope ladders had they been needed. The conventional note was pinned to her bureau scarf. Innes was with Tom when he found it. They came In together from the river. Neither had noticed the odd looks from the men ns they passed through the encampment. A dozen men had geen Hardin's wife leave for the North with Godfrey. Gerty's letter told Tom that It waa all over. She had tried to stand It, to be true even through his cruelty, but a feeling stronger than she was made her true to herself, and so true at last to him! Innes' revulsion lacked speech. The common blatter sickened her. She could offer no comfort. Ills eyes told her It was worse than death. , He struck ff her hand when It ■touched his shoulder. Oerty's hand had coerced him that way. Ho was done with softness. Ills silence oppressed her. This was a man she did not know; Inarticulate, smitten. She told herself that even a sister was an Intruder—but she was afraid to leave him alone. She took a station by her own tent door. She would not go down to dinner. For hours she watched his tent. When It grew dark phe could no longer endure It. She found him where slw had left him. Bhe forced herself towurd the vol cano's edge; and (he swift eruption scorched her. It was the pitiable wreck of dignity, of pride. Hl* words were Incoherent; hi* wrath Involved his sis ter, crouching In tears. Innes shrank from him, the man she did not know. The coarse streak was uncovered In all Its repulslveness. He turned on Innes suddenly. She was crying, a huddled heap on the coucb. "I've had enough crying—between you and Gerty. Will you get out? I'vo got to have some sleep." her sobs he,could make out that she was afraid to leave him. "Well, then, I'll go. I'm usefl to hav ing to leave my own tent. A dog's life." He flung out Into the night. CHAPTER XXXV. A Corner of His Heart. The second evening after the closure Rlckard was dining with the Mar shall In their car. The Palmyra was to pull out the next day. Hardin's name was brought up by Tod Mar shall. "She was light potatoes," he dismissed the woman. "But ehe's broken the man's spirit." Blckard, It was discovered, had nothing to say on the subject of the elopement. 'Tm aorry his slater la not here to night," began Marshall miachlevonaly. "I did ask her, Tod" Claudia has tened to Interrupt her lord. "But she would not leave her brother her last evening." "Her last evening?" exclaimed Rick ard. "Is she going away?" Marshall subdued his twinkle. "Wa are carrying her off. She is to visit Mrs. Marshall while I am on the road." Blckard gulped down his coffee, boiling. "Mrs. Marshall, will you let me run away early?" Why should he give any excuse? They knew whnt he was running away fori He mode his way to the little white tent on the far side, of the trapezium. Innes, by the door,, was bidding good by to Senora Maldonado. He forgot to greet the Mexican. She atood waiting; her eyes full of him. Surely, the kind senor had something to say to her? He had taken the whltfl girl's hand. He was staring Into the white girl's eyes. Something came to her, a memory like forgotten music. Silently, she slipped away Into tho night. Blckard would not relense Innes' hand; her eyes could not meet the look In his. "Come out and have a walk with me! You wer? not going to tell me you were going. You were running away from me?" "You know that I love you!. I have been waiting for this minute, this woman, all these lonely years." Her head she kept turned from him. He could not see the little maternal smile that ran around the curves of her mouth. Those years, filled to the brim with stern work, had not been lonely. Lonely moments he had had, that was nil. "Nothing for me?" He stopped, nuU nade her face him, by taking both of ler hands in his. She would not look at him yet, vould not meet the look which always She Would Not Look at Him Yet compelled her will, stultified her speech. She had something to say first. "We don't know ench other; that la, youi don't know me 1" "Is that all?" There was relief in his voice. "I don't know you? Haven't I seen you day by day? Haven't I seen your self-control tried, proved— haven't I seen your Justice, when you could not understand — Look at me!" She shook her head, her eyes on the sand under her feet. He could scarce ly catch her words. They did not know each other. Ho did not know her! "Dear I I don't know whether you love red or blue, that's n fact; Ibsen or Rostand; heat or cold. Does that matter? I know you!" An upward glance had caught him smiling. Her speech was routed. "I'm —the—only girl here!" "Do you think that's why I love you 7" "Ah, hut you loved Getty I" That slipped from her. She had not meant to say that! "Does that hurt?" Abashed by her own daring, yet she was ghid she had dared. Khe "Wanted him to deny It. For ho would deny It? She wondered if he were nngry, but she could not look at him. The minutes, dragging like weighted hourx, told her that he was not going to answer her. It came to her then that she would never know whether Gerty's story were wholly .false, or partly true. She knew, then, that no wheedling, wife's or sweetheart's, would tease that story from him. It did not belong to him. Ills silence frightened her Into ar ticulateness. He must not think that she was foolish! It wns not that. In Itself, she meant. The words Jostled one another In their soft swift rush. He—he had made a mistake once bo fore. He had liked tho sort of woman he had thought Gerty was. She her self was not like the real Gerty any more than she was like the other, tho woman that did not exist. He would find that they did not think alike, be lieve alike, that there were differ ences— "Aren't you making something out of nothing, Innes?" That voice could always chide her Into silence! Her speech lay cluttered In ruins, her words like useless broken bricks falling from the wall ahe waa building. He took her hand and led her to a pile of rock the river had not eaten. He pulled her down beside him. "Isn't It true, with us?" "It In, with me," breathed Trine*. Their voice* were low a* though they were In church. "And you thlak I* Isn't, -with met" Rlckard stood before her. "Is It be cause I trust you, I wonder? Thnt X, loving you, love to have the other* love you, too? Don't you suppose 1 know how It IS with the rest, Mac- Lean ; how It was with Estradal Should I be jealous? Why, I'm not I'm proud 1 Isn't that because I know GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. JUNE 26, 1919 you, know the fine ateady heart of you? You hated me at first —and 1 am proud of that I don't love you enough T" He knelt at her feet, not liatenlng to her pleading. He bent down and kissed one foot; then the other. "I love them I" The face he raised to her Innes bad never seen be fore. He pressed a kiss against her knee. "That, too 1 It's mine. ■ I've not ar'd my prayers alnce I was a boy. ] shall say them again, here, you teach ing me." His kisses ran up her arm, from the tips of her limp fingers. Hi* mouth, close to hers, stopped there. He whispered; "You —kiss me, my girl 1" Slowly, unseelngly, as though drawn by an external will, her face raised to his; slowly, their Hps met. Hla arms were around her; the world was blot ted out. Innes, minutes later, put her mouth against his ear. It was the Innes he did not know, thnt he had seen with others, mischievous, whimsical, romp ing as a young boy. "I love—red," she whispered. "And heat and sunshine. But I love blue, on you; and cold, if it were with you —and the rest of the dlfferencea—" Ho cf.ught her to him. "There are not going to be any differences I" (THE END.) GREAT SENTIMENTS IITTEBED BT WILSON INITIAL CRIME COMMITTED MY THE HUNS WAS FUNDAMENT AL IN ITS CHARACTER. EQUALITY. NOT KEIITfULITII Belgium Has Come Into Her Own Through Qrsat Valley of Suffering Which She Has Passed. Brussels. —In his address before the Belgian chamber of deputlea Presi dent Wilson said In part: "Tbe enemy committed many out rages In this war, gentlemen, but the Initial outrage was the fundamental outrage of all. They, with Insolent indifference, violated the saorednesa of treaties. They showed that they did not care for tha honor of any pledge. Tbey ahowed that they did not care for the Independeace of any nation, whether It had raised Its hand •trainrt thatn or not ;that they were ruthless la the determination to have their whim at their pleasure. There fore, It waa tbe violation of Belgium that awakened the world to the reali sation ot the character of tbe strug ■ls. "A very interesting thing came out of that struggle, which seems almost ,»n Illogical consequence. One of the first thlnga that the representatives of Belgium said to me after the war began waa that tbey did not want their neutrality guaranteed. They did not want aay neutrality. They want ed equality, not because, as I under stood them, their neutrality waa In seoure, but because their neutrality *at them upon a different baala of so tfon from other peoples. "I honored this. Instinct ID them, aad It waa for that reason that the flrat Urns that I had occasion to speak of what the war might accomplish for Belgium, I spoke of her winning a place of equality among the nations. So, Belgium haa, so to say, onee mora come Into her own through this deep ▼allay of suffering through which she haa gone. "Not only that, bnt her cause has linked the govnrnmenta ot the clvllla ed world together as If Instinctively into a league of might. They hava put the whole power of organised nfhnhood behind this conception of Justice which Is common to mankind. CRISIS IN ITALIAN CABINET ADDS TO EXISTING PROBLEMS Rome.—As an addition to the uncer tainty prevailing with regard to whether Oermany will sign the peace treaty haa com teo a crisis In tha Med ian government to perplex the peace conference. Pallltg to secure a vote df confidence In the ohamber of depu ties In Rome on a deraaad by Premier Orlando that the chamber In seoret session listen to the government's as planatlons of Its foreign policy, tha Italian cablaat haa followed preoedent la parliamentary r.ffalra and resigned. This sctlon probably will still fur ther complicate the werk of the peace conference, eapeclally In straighten ing out the tangle that long haa axlat ed aa regards Italy's olalme to Flame and the Dalmatian coastal region.

RESIGNATION OF GERMftN CMSIHET PREPONDERATING OPINION IB THAT DEBPITK OPPOSITION TREATY WILL BE SIQNED. EBERT STILL IS PRESIDENT Co Confused Is Situation That It Is Impoaalble to Obtain Even a Fair Idea of Exlatlng Conditions. Paris. —Latest advices from Berlin are to the effect that the German cab inet has resigned but that temporarily President Ebert Is to retain office. Varloua conflicting reports as to tha situation In Germany surrounding the Intentions of those In high offices to sign or to leave unsigned the peace treaty of the allied and associated gov ernments are current. The prepon derating opinion as expressed in the numerous dispatches, however. Indi cated that, notwithstanding the fact that there was much opposition to them, the terms of the allies finally would be met, even it the signature ot tbe treaty necessitated the resigna tion or even removal of those at pres ent In the high councils. So confused Is the situation that It is Impossible at present to obtain even a fair Idea of conditions In Ger many as they really exist, but there seems basis for the belief that It is tha intention of the Germans finally to acquiesce In the allied demands. President Wilson haa returned to Parla from his trip to Belgium and, with Premier Lloyd Oeorge of Oreat Britain and Clemenceau of Prance, discussed both the Italian cabinet di als and the German situation. BITTER E\CORIATION OP HIS SENATE ACCUSERS BY PALMER Washington. Attorney General Palmer, at the first public hearing in the fight to prevent confirmation by tbe senate of his appointment, turned sharply upon his accusers and boldly charged that they were aligned with German Interests. X During the year and a half be was In charge of the office Mr. Palmer de clared he had been denounced by every enemy alien and every frienu and attorney of every enemy alien In this country, and that in Berlin he was characterized as the "official American pickpocket." Every friend of the 40,000 allans whose property had been seised were attacking him, he said, because his organization had seized enemy prop erty and captured the Oerman Indus trial army In the United States. It would he shown, be told the commit tee, that the particular charges lodged against him were not based on tbe ground that he bad sold enemy plants at too low a price, but that he had sold them to Americans who had turned them to profitable account. HEARINOS ON REVISION OF TARIFF SOON AFTER JULY 4 Washington. General hearings looking towsrd a general revision of the tariff will be started by the house wjys and means committee soon after July 4, Chairman Fordney, of the committee, announced at tbe eloee of hearings on tha requeat of the potash and dye Industries for protection. Statistics and data, Mr. Fordney said, now are being assembled and the committee proposes to go exten sively snd exhaustively Into the whole subject with a view to drafting a bill revising the tariff In accordance with the campaign promises of tbe republl csn majority In Congress. STRIKE CUTS RAILWAY LINES OUT OF WEIMAR Weimar.—Weimar Is completely cut off from railway communication with all sections of Germany because of a suddenly called railway strike. Air planes and the telegraph are the only means of eomraanlcstloa. Govern ment circles see In the strike a new spartaoan attempt against the govern ment. HAVAS DISPATCH ALSO "CARRIES" RESIGNATION Palis—A Havas dispatch from Ra» sel carried the same announcement of the resignation of the Grnnan cab inet as that received from other sources It wae added that tbe minis try would continue to direct affaire until President Kbert had formed a new government. The resigning cabinet, the dlapatch stated, peralated In looking upon the peace treety as "Impossible of execu tion and unsupportable."

Dr. Fred Fisher of New York, who has been assistant executive secre tary of the Methodist Centenary drive, has turned his entire organiza tion to the Job of mobillclng Method ism in Columbus, June 20 to July 13. in outlining the campaign he has placed before 78,000 committeemen of the Methodist Church, be says: "W« must stress four things. First, this will be a big Victory Celebration. The Methodlita of the United State* have lived more In the past year than In any 10 prevlou* years of their ex istence. Now Is the time for them to get together and celebrate their victory. "In the second place, tills Is an op portunity for Methodists to have vis ualized the scenes and activities of which they have beon talking for the past year, but of which they have no personal knowledge. Of these 78,000 men, only a negligible per cent lias ever had the opportunity of going abroad. At the celebration they can get the trip around the world at their convenience. "Third, this is the time to 'finish the Jot»,' to gather Inaplratlon and In formation to enable the organlze( workers in the church to carry, out the program which has been mapped out for the next four years. "Fourth, and most Important of all, If the Celebration realises the Ideals which those who are back of it hold, it must be the inspiration for plan ning work for the next century. A* we look upon the marvels (hat have been accomplished we should gather new faith and new zeal for enter prises that can be measured only in terms of another century. Wo must. In a word, weld ourselves together In a great spiritual purpose to strike the bull's eye." Dr. Fisher Indicated that 1 T.O train ed executives.

Tt I* the little things which rnakv for perfection, we are told. An Inven tor has perfected ti device which cer tnlnly shows a tnste for [K'tfectlon. No one Is unfamiliar with the strip ot tape with u cutcli which la used snugly to wind up closed umbrellas. When the umbrella Is open this piece of tap® dangles and pendulates In a way that undoubtedly Is offensive to the dignity of some. The Inventor In question has made an Invention which provides means of stowing away the pendant Into the Interior of the opened um brella by means of a snapping devlc®, Dominoes for the Blind. Dominoes for tlio blind are rather Ingenious, Hecognlzlng the need of something that would not easily be dis placed us tliH Angers of the blind passed back and forth reading the numbers on the face of tbe dominoes, the Inventor has given us a set of In terlocking pieces. The mortise Joint makes them hold together no matter how much they are brushed around. The number ou each piece is Indicated 1 by the raised heads of brass tacfefc ; easily rend by the touch. Old Name for February. The old Britons gave the nickname j "Flldyke" to February, not because it is a particularly wet month, the aver age rainfall being the least of aaj(~4g month in the year, but because the J melting snow on the hills causes' tittfe. 3 rivers and dykes to overflow. Whetfjg there is a superabundance of snow anflH rain In February there is too much otffl what would be a good thing In moderitjfl tion, and floods where they are leaatia welcome.
