While Macintosh lias been with the local high gridilers but three days and despite tlie fact that he had not taken any part in scrimmage 1 workout, the big fullback, who substituted for Sellars in the first half, easily grabbed the spot light of the afternoon tussle. Repeat edly Macintosh plunged the line for large gains, skirted around both flanks and broke up numerous forward passes. During the first and last quarters the local high school eleven showed mid season form and executed plays with canny ability. But in the second and third quarters the Concord high school team showed nineji the* superior form Several successful forward passes and. a number' of end runs, together With the constant fumbling of the hall by tlie local: highs, resulted in the visitors playing in Greensboro’s territory throughout these periods. , When Greensboro did .recover the ball ip the second and third quarters ‘'Bus ter" Swift was cnlled upon to kick the ball otit of the danger zone.

"There was no need of even j§ coming here. You seem lo be tor s getting, yoti two, where you are—ail || the things I told you at first.” ..

"I'll f§ see that I correct* that fault in the g| future. You. Ned, made a serious H mistake when you interfered it/ this I s matter tonight. I'll see if I can't teach you lo ke«*> your place.

In the try for point after touchdown Block booted the ball over the cross post and added another point to Greensboro's tally. After Concord kicked the Greensboro team again threatened to score. A se ries of Hue plunges by "Buster” Swift, Macintosh and High netted them con siderable yardage but the whistle blew before the locals were able to rush the ball ovev the goal line. The locals attempted two forward passes. Swift to Burrougs, both of which failed. While tile Greensboro line with stood all the rushes of the Concord play ers and often threw the visitors for a loss, the local backfield was unable to get going to any great extent. They were minus the driving power blit the backfield did show that it is going to be one of the most powerful backfields in North Carolina scholastic circles. The Concord highs, also, have a pow erful backfield. but their line yesterday appeared woefully weak as the locals broke through the right and left sides for repeated gains. Willie Green, captain of the local team. Norman Block, center and Ford, tackle, played a great game, breaking through the line and making spectacular tackles. For the visitors Ridenhour and Sullivan grabbed all the glory. During the lat ter part of the game Henderson, last year with Fitslibourne, and the year pre vious with Greensboro, was sent to right end iu place of Irving. Lineup and summary : .

I’ve never gone back on s promise yet.” "And believe me, I won’t go hack on mine. If that’s all you have to say—” "That’s quite all. Think it over —you’ll find it isn’t so bad. And now—good night.” He bowed to them, in mock polite ness. Then he turnefi back into his cabin. For a moment his two prisoners stood Inert, utterly motionless in the wan light. Ned started to turn to her. still held by his own dark thoughts, but at the first glance of her white, set face, he whirled in the most breathless amazement. It was in no way the stricken, terrified countenance that he had seen a few moments before. The lips were firm, the eyes deep and strange; even In the half-light he could see her look of inexorable purpose. Some great resolve had come to her—some sweeping emotion that NED MOVED TOWARD HER. REACHING FOR HER HANDS. might be akin to hope. Was she planning suicide? Was that the meaning of this new look of iron resolution In her face? He pould con ceive of no other explanation: in self-inflicted death alone lay deliver- 1 ance from Doomsdorf’s lust. He dared not hope for any happier free dom. He reached groping hands to bers. "You don’t mean”—he gasped, hard ly able to make his lips move In speech—"you don't intend—?” "To kill myself? Not yet. by a long way.” The girl’s band slipped cautiously out from the pocket of her Jacket, showing him what seemed to tie a small, square box of tin. But the light was too dim for him to make out the words on the paper labeL "I got this from the shelf — Just as we left the cabin." The hopeful tones in her voice was the happiest sound Ned had heard since he had come to the island. "What 1s It?" he whispered. "Nothing very much—but yet—a chance for freedom. Come into the cabin where we can scratch a match.” They moved Into the newer but of logs, and there Bess showed him the humble article In which lay her hopes. It was merely a tin of fine snuff from among Doomsdorfs per sonal supplies.

The plan, on perfection, was really very simple. As soon as Lenore came, she would be sent back to the cabin to bring Doomsdorf. ghi would need no farther excuse e—* that Bess bad asked to see him: Ned's knowledge of the brute's psy chology told him that Ned would be waiting In the newer cabin when Lenore and Doomsdorf returned. He would im mediately excuse himself and pass out the door, at the same that Bess extended a chair for Doomsdorf. And the Instant >*».♦ he was seated Bess would dash a hand ful of the blinding snuff Into his eyes. Ned’s axe leaned Just without the cabin door. Doomsdorf would notice it as be went in: otherwise his suspi cions might be aroused. And in his first Instant of agony and blindness, Ned would seize the weapon, dash back througb the door, and make the assault. They had scarcely perfected the plan before Lenore appeared, on the way to her cot. Just an instant ahe halted, her face and golden bead a glory in the soft light, as ahe regard ed their glittering eyes Ned moved toward her, reaching for her hands. For a breath he gazed into her lovely face. "Bess wants you to go—and tell Dooms dorf—to come here,” he told her. hi, voice was wholly steady, every word clearly enunciated; if anything, he spoke somewhat more softly and evenly than usual. “Just tell Mi» that she wants to see him.” She took her eyes from his, glano lng about with unmistakable appre hension. ’•! ' ; Her searching eyes suddenly turned in fascinated horror to Begs. Standing near the open door, so that the room might not be filled with the dust of the snuff and thus con vey a warning to Doomsdorf, shy was emptying the contents of the snuff-box Into her handkerchief. Her eyes gleamed under her brows, and her hands were wholly steady, I-ennre shivered a little, her pressing Ned's. "Whet does it mean—T” "Liberty! That's what It means, It the plan goes through." For the first time Ned's voice revealed sup pressed emotion. Liberty! He spoke the word as a devout man speaks of God. "It’s the only chance—now or never," he went on with perfect cold ness. "You’ve got to hold up and do your share —l know you can. If we succeed—and we’ve got every chance —it’s freedom, escape from tiil« island and Doomsdorf. If we It’s likely death—but death couldn't be any worse than this. So we've nothing to lose —and everything to gain.” Overswept by their ardor Lenore turned back through the door. Her Instructions were simple. The easiest task of the three was here. Bess took one of the crude chain, her handkerchief—clutched as ]f she hud been weeping—tn her lap. Ned sat down In one of the other chain, intending to arise and excuse him self the Instant Doomsdorf appeared. His muscles burned under his It was only about 60 yards to the cabin. If Doomsdorf came at all. It would be In the space of a few sec onds. The door of the cabin closed be hind her, and Lenore was alone with the night Could she take the fighting chance? Could she rise above this awful flnt rear; master It scorn it. go her brave way in the face of It? But before ever ahe found her an swer, ahe found henelf at the cabin door. Listless, terrified almost to the verge of collapse, she turned the knob and opened the door. Doonw dorf had not yet gone to his >»»«■»>- kets; otherwise the great bolt of boa would be in place. He was still sit ting before the great, glowing stove, dreaming his savage dreams. The girl halted before him, —‘yg against a chair. At first her tongue could hardly shape the words. Her throat fitted, her heart faltered In her breast. "Bess—asked to see you.” she toM him at last. “She says for yon to come—to her cabin.” (Continued in Oar Next leeete) Well Answered.
