'‘Killing yourself for some old teggar, I'll warrant!” he said akarply. Richard laughed grimly. “I'm harder to kill than that, major.” "Humph, you look like an awl! Nkncy—where's that girl,” the old man looked about, bewil dered. “She went out with Angie,” Khdiard said dryly. "Let me see your foot, major,” and he laid hold of the bandages. Meanwhile, Angie found it hard to keep her friend even a Moment. But Nancy had utterly forgotten that Angie might be hurt about her brother. She wrenched her hand tree of An gie’s detaining fingers. "I’ve got to go!” she cried, *Tfama wants me—I promised— TH come again!’’ She was oft. running down the gath like a frightened deer.

She could sit there on the bank until he had gone home, she thought, and then she flushed with anger: she hated herself for being so childish. She winced with shame as much as with the .pain in her ankle. Suddenly she determined to walk straight across the field and go home. But her courage failed utterly when she saw that he was taking that way home. If she went a step farther It would look as if she wanted to meet him. There was just time to avoid the en counter. She turned hurriedly and tried to run down the path behind the pine trees. But her hurt ankle suddenly gave way, her foot turn ed under her and she went down, full length, in the pine needles, not ten yards from the Morgan gate. She was struggling to her knees crimson with mortification, when Richard reached her. "You’re hurt!” he exclaimed, bending down to lift her back to her feet. “It’s nothing—I stumbled,” she said sullenly. He was holding her firmly, supporting her, and his deep eyes looked straight into hers. ‘‘Rood heaveps, Nancy, don’t rate me so!” he cried violently. She pressed her lips determin edly together, tears of anger in her eyes. “Let me go.’’ she pant ed. “1 didn’t go lame on purpose —I—I’m not throwing myself at your head again!” He let her go out of his arms as if she had stung him. “Why don’t you go then?” he asked her harshly. She kept her blue e.ves fixed on his. fury leaping up in them like a consuming flame. "You thought I ran this way on purpose!” she said slowly, “1 didn’t. I didn’t want to see you —I don’t want to see you at all.” He stood looking at her for a moment, dumb w'ith astonish ment. then something—almost a revelation—made the blood go up hotly into his face. But he did not move. He was watching her. his own breath coming short. Nancy did not look at him. She tried to walk straight past him to the path. She did achieve three Straight, firm steps and then a wimffe of pain shook her. She wavered, stretched out a hand involuntarily and caught at the ue^irest branch; it saved her from falling, but her face turned white. He saw it: the angry lover was suddenly merged in the doctor. She was hurt and he could help her. She had done something to her toot in the fall. It would take his skill to mend it. Without a word, he picked her up in his arms and carried her up the long path to his own house. "Don’t struggle so!” said Rich ard sharply, “if you’ve hurt your ankle, you’ll make it worse. I’m going to bind it for you.” As he spoke he carried her into his office and put her gent ly down on the old leather lounge the corner. Nancy’s impulse to spring up vanished with a new pang in her ankle, and he was taking off her shoe and feeling of her toot. Then, ignoring her, he went to the door and called John Rushin sharply: “Mammy t*oIk. soiuo hot wat- 901XABS for 50 CENTS ceive wheo ymm RoaUn at 5c.

Nancy, sitting on the side of the lounge, clenched her hands on the edge of it until her knuck- ies whitened. How cool he was! It made her even hotter with an ger to see how cool he was. “,\in’t swelled any. Mist Rich ard. ” Mammy Polk observed dry ly. on her knees to help him. Nancy winced. “She thinks I’m playing hurt!” she thought. ' Kicliard’s liauds were deft and fine on her ankle. He bound it .swiftly, neatly, thoroughly. 1 "There, mammy, that’s a fi- I r.ure eight—see?” he said good and ihyi. pushing I iialuredly, and ih^n. aside the hot water, “that’s ail. the bowl away you can take now.” Mammy rose slowly to her feet. “I reckon you-all forgets I’se got ter put on her stockin’ (or her.” she remarked with dig nity. But Nancy had snatched it up and pulled it on herself. "I’m going right home,” she said. Mammy Polk courtesied. “If you-all wants me I’m right out in cle kitchen, peelin’ potatoes,” she said majestically. “1 reckons Williams Auto & Radiator Shop ■North Wilkesboro.

Nancy, laeing her shoe fntntlc- ally, stared after her with fur ious eyes- h ’ "Rlehprd, you’ve told her!” she cried. ^ - He raised his eyes without s smile. “Is there any, new reason to hate me. Nancy?’’ he asked dry ly, “I haven’t told her.” She was ashamed of her un reasonable anger. “I’m sorry," she said In a low voice. "I—^I thrust hyself into your life, I—was Just sordid!” He looked at her, passion In his eyes. “I love you,” he answer ed: “I want the chance to teach you to love me.’’ ■ She shook her head. "You don’t know me—I—I’m not a good woman to have for a wife —I—’• she stopped, gasping, and then, hotly: “I’Ve let Page Roe- mer kiss me—since we were mar ried!” In spite of himself, he started. The instinct of the caveman to seize his woman and keep her, leaped up in him. Suddenly he put his arms around Nancy and kissed her. He kissed her fore head, her cheeks, her lips, her throat. Then she wrenched her self free, hot and trembling. “How dare you!” she cried. “How dare I?” he laughed bit terly, “didn’t you tell me that you let Page Roemer kiss you? And I’m your husband! Would you rather have another man kiss you?” She was furious, her face glow ed with color. “Let me go,” she cried, “I hate yon! Let me go— you said you didn’t want a wo man who didn’t love you!” “Yes, I know it!” he said hoarsely. “I know It—I thought I could let you go. but what If I can’t? What if my love is too strong for it—if—” he caught her hands now and held them, looking down at her. Love in his face, love triumphant and beau tiful, but dominant and selfish, too. “Suppose I will nOt let you go?” She panted, trying to break awa.v from his hold, her eyes ablaze with anger. “You’ve got to let me go—you —” she wet her parched lips— “you paid for me—thak’s how you feel. I know it—and you’ve taken half the money back. You’ve got to let me go!” He flung her hands from him, rising to his feet, his face dark. •'You love that fellow! You want Roemer’s kisses not mine! I—” he choked with fury—"he shan’t have you!” he began to walk up and down the room; “he shan’t have you, do you hear me, Nancy?” He stopped short. The door of his office stood ajar and he sud denly saw a woman’s figure com ing down the hall. Unannounced, Mammy Polk had admitted a pa tient. It was Helena Haddon. “Nancy.' stay here—I’ll take her into the other- room,” he said below his breath, going to meet his visitor. But Nancy had struggled to her feet. "I'm going home,” she gasped, and steadied herself, leaning on the table beside her. Helena heard her. “Don’t let me break in on another patient, she said, smiling, and then, cora- ipg to the door; “Why, Miss Gor don. are you ill. too?” Richard flushed. “It’s a twist ed pukle,” he said briefly, “let me take you into the library, Mrs. Haddon; Miss Gordon can’t walk very well yet, the ankle s just bandaged.’’ "I'm so sorry—” Helena be gan. But Nancy cut them both short: she straightened herself and began to walk quite steadily across the room. “I’m going right home,” she said. “Sit down,” Richard ordered sharply, “your foot will twist again.” Nancy flung him a look that breathed defiance. Agony was shooting through the hurt mus cles, but she trod on the . toot with an iron will. She had the side door open when Richard sprang to her aid. “I’ll help you home anyway,’’ he said. But Nancy recoiled from his touch. “Go back—to her!” she whispered, her face flushed still with anger and pain. “I can walk.” Helena stood by the table, drawing off her gloves. Richard noticed it as he came in, bewil dered and angry and in doubt. That ankle must hurt horribly, if it hu.-t at all. The doubt shook him, but he noticed how white and soft Helena’s hands looked, and that she had discarded her rings. He did not even notice the usual plain band on the marriage finger. “I always come at the wrong time, Rchard. I’m as inopportune as the measles!” He pushed a chair forward. "On the contrary,” his voice said, “you’re always welcome. I hope you’re not nervous again, Hel ena?” She sank Into the chsir, put- tltig up her hands with a grace- gesture to push back the Rght veil ahe wore. “Weil, 1 don’t Bleep at she replied with •sc ,, her provoking J smile. T suppose you’d scold -^ dreadluHy II I should ask for chloral or morphine or anything | ■—to make me sleep',!’ Richard dragged hi# mind back from 'its absent contemplatloB and looked at her. Intently. •T wouldn’t give it to you,’’ he said gravely. She smiled, drooping her lids over eyes that softened too much when they met his: even a little color went up In her face and transfigured It. “She’s beautlfuli” he thought reluctantly. | “I’ve Uken lotolof it already,” she safd, laughing quietly. ”I In creased the dose last night.” "What!” I “Chloral.” She' stirred in her chair, and he saw that her chin was shaking. “Look here, Helena, this won’t do.” he spoke kindly, with genu ine concern. “Do you know, I ought to tell -King?” “King!” She sat up. turning the blaze of angry eyes on him. “Why King? He’s thinking of nothing—of no one—but his new racehorse he got from Lomax. He and the grooms are at him day and night, getting him in shape. He's to race_ next month. King cares more to have that horse win the race for him—or to win himself In a golf tourna ment. than he cares for my soul!” She rose from her chair and went ti the window. Helena was winking back hot tears. She had seen Richard’s face as he looked at Nancy, and every Instinct of her nature leaped up into furious jealousy. “Richard, I'm wretched—what’s the use of lying? King and I hate each other cordially—I—’’ she covered her face with her hands. (Continued next week) P.'^.

Resolutions of Respect We, the members of Ferguson Subordinate Grange No. 809, wish to pay tribute to the memory of our beloved brother, Presley Shepherd, who departedi this life on March 29, 1934. He was a good and faithful member of the grange order. His passing is a distinct loss to our ranks. The piety of his venerable age was one of the characteri.stics which we wish to emulate. Upon every great moral issue he had the courage of his convictions to stand for the right. He was loyal to his church, in at tendance and in matters of finan cial contributions, often giving to Mills Home an amount equal to all the rest of h’s church. There fore, be it resolved; 1. That we bow in humble sub mission to the will of God. feeling that our loss is his eternal gain; 2. That we cVseply sympathize with the bereaved family in the loss of such a devoted husband and father; 3. That a copy of these resolu tions be sent to the county papers for publication .and that a copy be sent to the family of the deceased, and recorded on our minutes. T. ,W. FERGUSON, A. J. FOSTER, Com.
