Leonard Brown Collide Near Country Club. A new Ford sedan belonging to F. E. Allen, of Rochester, N. ,Y„ was practically demolished Saturday at , 10 o'clock when it was hit by a Ford truck belonging to J, Leonard Brown and driven by B. Morgan, negro, on the Kannapolis road near the Coun -1 try Club. Neither Mr. Allen nor Mrs. Allen, who were in the sedan, were : badly injured, though the latter suf fered several painful bruises. Morgan . was not seriously injured. The accident occurred when the , truck, which was coming towards Concord, was forced from its course by another karge truck that had run to the left of the sedan, evidently at -1 tempting to pass it. Morgan, fright “ ened at the big truck coming directly at h‘m, swerved over and hit the right front wheel of the Ford sedan, which j was going toward Kannapolis. The 1 1 sedan turned over three t'mes and • landed many feet from the road. It ■ is miraculous that Mr. and Mrs. Al • len, who are tourists on their way from St. Petersburg, Fla., to their home in Rochester, N. Y., escaped i with only a few 7 minor injuries. t Nothing more has been heard of the I big truck that was the cause of Mor gan’s leaving his side of the road. I MRS. EMMA F.

Pictures, Inc. 7 . - < SYXOPSIB Molly Cochran , now doing dra matic writing in New York, goes to Washington to see her husband, for mer Texas Governor, whom she left when fearful she would imperil his political future. He is now engaged in war work. But Cochran pretends not to know her. His wife, he says, was drowned, as newspapers re ported. Molly’s mission is to warn Cochran of another danger threat ening him, but he refuses to listen. m . CHAPTER XXX—Continued He put her into a taxi, gave some order to the driver. After a time she told him Incoherently, a little here and a little there — everything. It was mercy and sal vation to have him to tell It to — to be able to talk about it. “You must let me go to him,” he said at last. “You see, you didn’t really explain anything.” “I couldn’t —he wouldn’t let me.” “I’m the logical one to do It, any how. He’s probably Jealous as the devil.” Molly shook her head. “No, he’s not jeakms. He’s not anything. For him I simply don’t exist, that’s all. Besides this other woman. . . . Don’t you see how it would 100k —like a dog 4n the manger—as If I’d only come back to stop him from marrying her? No, I shall never tell him —I didn’t mean to fell him. Anyway, it doesn’t mat ter about me. I want only his hap piness.” “And I want only what Is for your happiness. ...” “I know.” She laid her hands for a moment over his. “I can’t think what I should have done If you hadn’t come.” CHAPTER XXXI It was not until she was saying good-by to Eldredge at the station In New York some weeks later that Her last glimpse of him was from the train window. she remembered to tell him just how much his coming had meant. There was something beautiful and rare about this affection which had sprung up from not the most prom ising of beginnings. Eldredge had done everything in his power to induce her to let’him act as mediator between her and Cochran; to bring about some basis of understanding if not of reconciliation. Having failed, he held his conscience clear. He had hoped that she would come back from this absurd pilgrimage at least resigned, ready to take what (ife Still held for her and make the best of it, “ ‘Two are better than one,* you kuDw,” he reminded her in the last half minute before the train pulled tout. His mouth twisted a little jwlth the effort to keep it casual jand humorous. -“For if they fall {the one will lift np his fellow, but .woe to him that is alone when he falleth. . . Molly bent forward and put both fier hands over his. “Myron, I can’t count myself alone when I pave a fHend like you. You’ve gifted me up times without number *—picked up the pieces and put them together again. . . .” He crushed the hands between his, got tp his feet. The train was beginning to move. “It’s all right,” he said, and with another abrupt, hurtful pressure of her hands took himself off. Her last glimpse of him was from the train window—head bare, smiling and waving to her—that veiled, boyish eagerness in the Ironic, old-young eyes, the seamed and corded old-young face. It cut to the heart somehow—she was really fond of him. . . . Molly was going home—home— not to Laws’ Chapel, but to her na -1 tive state, the Capito-l. the univer ; slty—the Gothic spires Stephen had maligned. 1 Stephen—she shuddered away j from that thought as from too 1 many others.

June 24.—Tbe dental clinir conducted at the Y. M. O. A by Dr. P. Y. Adams under the aus pices of the State Board of Health has been brought to a close. The work here was met by hearty en thusiasm by the parents, and over 1,- 200 children were reached. During the third week of its running, 362 children received treatment. Dr. Adams was highly pleased with the ..co-operation given him, and t although worked to “a frazzle,” he he had found work in an ammunt tion factory—some last spasmodic s twitching perhaps of self-respect 1 some genuine shame at her having ' seen him as a waiter, a flunky in ( uniform. There had been an ex- 1 plosion. Such things were con- 1 stantly happening now. She had 1 resisted the impulse to send the i 1 clipping to Greg—on the eve of ! sailing again for France. Eldredge * had brought her this information 1 too, Information not trusted, of 1 course, to the newspapers. ’ < Once across the border into her 1 own state, her heart stirred faintly ' to great stretches of black-land 1 prairie with the corn showing new and sketchily green; to oil der- ( ricks bristling on every hand like a particularly dusky variety ofcac- 1 tus; to blue-bonnets sheathing hill 1 and plain with dazzling, far-flung scarfs of lapis lazuli; to sand and heat and yellow April sunshine; to 1 ugly little towns with the assem bled populations crowded round the ugly, yellow-huff stations to watch the "Limited’’ go through. What struck her most as she stepped at last from the train at the little red brick capital station was that everything seemed so un- , changed. It was like an enchant ed city, drowsing there in the late afternoon sun— the Avenue, the Capitol, the “Mansion,” the Gothic spires—waiting, perhaps for her re turn . . . The campus was changed most of all. Several fine new buildings, a dozen sprawling wooden “shacks,” 1 huddled the bluebonnets, once un disputed April monarchs, Into pit!- ! ably • cramped quarters. They were there, though, still—thou sands of quaint, wise little blue 1 hoods, nodding and swaying to the wind, plunder for greedy herds of pollen-gilded bees. Molly waded out halfway to her knees in them, glanced round, dropped quickly to ; the ground. She smothered her i face In the blossoms, pressed her ; lips to the fragrant, warm earth beneath. Her earth. ... She remembered that other homecom ing so long ago. Autumn it had been —and how she had longed then to stoop and kiss the earth beneath her feet. The sun hid itself over behind the Gothic towers, and the South ern dusk did cool, scented penance for the heat and burden of the day. A slim new moon lifted its silver horn above the chapel’s Ivied buttresses, and still Molly lingered on —to think and to dream. . . . The past rushed ovct her like the first deep, whiff of ether, bore her down, blotted out new landmarks. Faces, voices, scenes—some long forgotten"' She thought of Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Park er with her little pine-knot body, her htiraor-wrlnkled face, her heart of gold—gone long since to her reward. A rich and generous re ward it must be. She thought of her mother in the faded calico wrapper, thrusting back the damp tendrils from her face with the worn, harassed mo tion. Her mother —she had spent herself, her youth, her strength, her very bone and blood, to bring them forth. She had shriveled and fallen Into dust like a dried seed pod after the seeds are scattered. And what had they done for her! Nothing, nothing at all. She thought of her father, bland and beningnant in his unpaid for pine coffin —of Larry. . . . On the Avenue, she had noted a handsome black-and-gold sign, let tered, “Judge James Larrabee Shannon.” She had passed and re passed it — lingeringly; old ties, old affections, straining fiercely at her heart. But, no, it was better not— better always the dead should re main dead, better the ghostly should not intrude their ghostii- ( on the living. He was prosperous, successful — with a position to bo maintained, no doubt. There might be bitterness and recrimination, the old flame of Intolerance break ing out. Strange they had all been like that; deep down, perhaps, af fection, but at the surface react ing on one another like vitriol and corrosive sublimate. Strange that the mildest and gentlest of women should have brought forth such ■ quarrelsome, contentious brood. Stephen— the thought of h'® persisted too.
