Scott first attended the University of North Carolina ana was graduated from Harvard uni versity’s law school last June. is the son of Mrs. David Scott ot 415 South Third street. Negro Absolved Of Blame In Death Of Oliver Webb Coroner’s jury returned a ver dict Friday absolving Linwood D. McLaurin, negro taxicab driver, of blame in the death of Oliver B. Webb, 61, a native of Charlotte. Webb was instantly killed when struck by a Dixie cab operated by McLaurin on the Princess street road late Wednesday night. Evidence given at the inquest showed that Webb, who had been leaning against a post at the side of the road, suddenly dashed out in front of the taxi, Coroner Asa W- Allen said. McLaurin, whose home is at 21U Queen street, was immediately re leased from the county jail. Members of the coroner’s jury were W. B. Savage, R. R. Christie, ' T. D Piner, C. N. King, I. B. Andrews and C. F* Worrtll. J CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR AFTER THAT brief, unexpected encounter with Tibby, Steena went on into the women’s locker room to change from her uniform to street clothes. She still had a vague, trou bled feeling tugging at her heart, or maybe at her conscience. She felt that she should have said something more than that “Do, please, be careful, Tibby!” when she had found that Tibby was go ing up alone in the silver ship. Steena should have tried to dis suade her—or perhaps she should have gone with her, although there was no reason for her to feel this way. If Tibby felt confident that she could pilot the plane and was willing to take such a risk when Wayne was away, it certainly was none of Steena’s affair. Yet she dressed much more rap idly than usual, taking only a few minutes with her toilette a nd makeup, matters that always de manded the most precise and de liberate attention with her. She contented herself with a dab of powder, a touch of lipstick, not even taking time to re-do her beau tiful red hair. She was far from satisf’ed with the result in the mir ror—she certainly needed more careful grooming—there were deep circles beneath her grcten eyes, for Steena had not been sleeping well lately, any more than had Tibby— her face was unusually pale. She thought of her reflection—as had Tibby, unknown of course to her— as looking colorless, almost drab. Love certainly played havoc with a woman’s appearance. It ether gave her an added luster or robbed her of her radiance entirely. It was because of Wayne that Steena looked as she did now. Tibby had not looked any too good, e ther. Steena reflected, fur ther. There had been no radiance about her. no soft shining stars in her brown eyes. She had not looked '■Nippy because she had promised to marry Wayne? Could she ha m I given him that promise only be-1 enu?'' she thought Tommy was go-1 ng to marry Steena? Steena still I ' ■ s'ed 'hat it was Tommy Darr ! whom Tibby loved. Maybe, in trying to bring things 'o the right ending. Steena had un ttir-ily brought about the wrong j ■me. Maybe she should have left j well enough alone, not tried to force that ending with her silly campaign. And again maybe she s.'roulct have told Tibby. when thev g'rd met just now. that she was not engaged to Tommy, that it had ail been a mistake. That would have been the decent ! thing to do. It would, at least, have out everything on a fair, clean basis. It would have made up for what Steena felt now had not been very pretty work on her part, ft would have eased her conscience, if it were conscience that was nag. ging at her. As she left the locker room. Steena still had that trou bled. uneasy feeling. She could still tell T ibby. straighten things out that much at least. She could wait around awhile until Tibby finished her practice flight and brought the silver ship down again. If she put it off she might never tell her. She might lose this mood, which was indeed a rare one with Steena, and decide to let her conscience take care of itself. The silver ship was in the air; [Steena caught its bright glint, high in the sky, against th« deep blue. It looked so very high, so far above the earth. Maybe that was why Tibby had taken it up, to get away from the earth, which must look even smaller, further away, from up there to here. Maybe she had had to get away. Steena could understand that feeling of wanting to cast the world aside, with all its petty problems, its complexities and heartaches, that urgent need to try to escape. If Tibby were un happy ,too, she must feel that way. Steena, who had never experienced unhappiness until now, in having lost Wayne, knew that feeling all too well. Heartache and loss w ere sup posed to make you bigger;, they were supposed to be “good” for you. give you clearer vision. Steena would much rather have had such development come from some oth er source, but perha'ps that was what had come to her, in making her regret the part she had tried to play, the small deceits and un derhanded schemings that she had thought so very subtle and clever. That might be why she was driven now to undo them, if she could. But even as she had these thoughts, they were rudely broken by an unexpected happening As she watched the silver ship, squint ing' a bit against the bright glare of the sun. she suddenly sensed that something had happened al though she did not know, at first exactly what. It had been up so high, circling the field in a deep, wide arc. lei surely, gracefully, as effortlessly as a bird. Then, like a bird still, it had swooped much lower, a swift, gliding movement that a sea gull makes as it noses toward the toss ing waves, except that the silver ship did not look as if it v uld pull up again before it struck what would be hard ground. It looked as if tht downward flight were much too rapid, too unguided. Now the plane was making a desperate ef fort to right itself, twiating and turning crazily, yet heading still, :n that falling-leaf, nose-dive fash ion. righ* for that hard, unyielding ground beneath it. Steena apparently was not the only witness to this swift, silent little drama. Even as she started to run toward the fence that blocked off the ramps, one hand [still shielding her eyes, her lips try ing to form a scream that they [could not utter, she heard the l sirens. They were followed almost [immediately by the clang of the field ambulance as it tore bv. But the siver ship was almost to the ground, a flash of dazzling light in the bright su.i, defiant, proud and beautiful. Then it was a crumpled, splintered mass, its nose plunged deep into the earth, its wide-spread wings broken. Steena was not the only one pressing against the fence now; a crowd had gathered, as crowds al ways do. miraculously, out of no where. eager, curious, yet hushed and anxious. The distance was too great to make out exactly what was taking place around what had been, only a moment before, the beautiful ship. The ambulance had reached it; men jumped out, car rying a stretcher. They seemed to be pounding in the door of the cabin, smashing at it, mercilessly with sledge hammers. Now they were lifting something — or some one—out. backing hurriedly away. DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1. Simmers 6. Charges 11. Satellite of Uranus 12. Sky-blue 13. HaviJg ringlets 14. Feminine name 15.

Yesterday's Cryptoquote: MEN DO NOT SUSPECT FAULTS WHICH THEY DO NOT COMMIT—JOHNSON, Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.i It was just in time, for the air was filled with a terrific explosion as the plane burst into flames. Steena could not look on any longer. She covered both eyes with her hands, turning away. She pushed her way through the crowd, knowing she must have more air or she would faint. She wondered that she could push her way out, that she could force her limbs to any action. Her legs were like weights; even her arms felt leaden. Her heart was a brick, unstirring. There was nothing she could do on the other side of that fence. If there was anything that anyone could do, it were not too late, it was being done. Yet there remain ed something that only she could do now, something that made her legs keep moving, that kep* her from keeling over, that somehow sustained her. It was all she could do for Tibby now, If only, please God, it was not too late for that! Steena was praying through silent, stiff lips, as she forced her wooden legs to carry her, praying as she had not prayed in a long, long while—since she had been a child with a enild:s faith that such urgent, needfu' prayer must be heard and an swered. Her stiff fingers fumbled at the folding door of the public phone booth, managed painstakingly to dial a number. She asked to speak with Dr. Thomas Dare; she scarce ly could recognize her voice as her own. She said that she must speak with him. as it was a matter of life and death. Her memory went back to that last time when she had called him. when she had said almost that same thing, although then it had not been strictly true as it was now. Now it was all too true. She must reach Tommy before it was too late, must tell him to come at once to Tibby. That much, at least, Steena could do to undo all that she had done before. (To Be Continued) -V Registration Of 1,800 On June 30 Estimated At the fifth registration June 30. approximately 1.800 men between the ages of 18 and 20 are expected to register with the two local draft boards. According to an estimate placed by the State Selective Service Board, one-halt the number men who tegistered on February 16 are expected to register June 30. The city board expects to register about 1,300 and the county board about 600 under this plan. The Fifth registration will be held on Tuesday, June 30, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. All men born on or after January 1, 1922. and on or before June 30. 1924 will be required to ••egister. The procedure for serial and order numbering registration cards of this group wiii be an nounced later. Local draft officials said that in all lurobability the same plan of registration used on February 16 will be employed this month, sub ject to approval by the boards. Draft Board No. 1 used the city polling places before, and the county boar* held registrations at 10 locations, including the ship yards. 4 GASOLINE ALLEY Flash ___________*! I BUT MONEY ISN'T !
