C, July 23, 1907. THE NORTH CAROLINA PRESS ASSOCI ATION. The annual meeting of the North Carolina Press Association was held in Morehead City last week Wednesday and Thursday and the attendance was grati fying, also the papers presented by those on the program were of a high order and they were help ful. To give a detailed account of the proceedings would take up much space, and would not be as interesting possibly, as a discon nected account as one sees things passing: The editorial party west of Durham passed here at 11:50 Tuesday and were joined here by Editors Robinson of the Sun, King of The Herald, and Council of The Recorder. The day was hot and the trip to the sea was not completed until the cool of the evening. Crop conditions along the way were better than we had been led to blieve from the many reports sent out. The accommodation at the At lantic hotel was all that could have been expected, and the management did their best to make our stay pleasant, and from reports of the editors on there turn they succeeded. The cour tesies of the Norfolk & Southern Railway were such that each one had a good word to say for the management of that rapidly growing system that is doing so much for the development of the portion of the state through which it runs. Wednesday afternoon Messrs. H. A. Foushee and T. E. Ceeek, who were at Morehead with their families, gave the Durham ed itors, Messrs. King, Robinson and Council, and a few of their friends a complimentary sail, which was very pleasant and en joyable. A visit to the Govern ment Laboratory and Fishery and wireless telegraph station at Beafort, Fort Macon, and several other places of interest was made. The sessions of the Association were interesting and the papers read contained timely hints that were helpful. Officers elected for the next year were as follows: President Archibald Johnson, of Charity and Children. First-Vice-President J. A. Thomas, of the Louisburg Times. Second-Pice-President W. J. Jordan, of the Snow Hill Stand ard. Third Vice-President-A. S. Carson, of the Alleghany Star. Secretary and Treasurer-John B. Sherrill, of the Concord Times. Historian-T. G. Cobb, of the Morganton Herald. Orator J. H. Cane, of Ashe- ville citizen. Poet J. A. Robinson, of the Durham Sun. Executive Committe H. A. London, W. C. Dowd, R. M.Phil lips, Josephus Daniels and D. T. Edwards. The next place of meeting will be Charlotte, and the time of the meeting is to be decided by the Executive Committee. The last session was held last Thursday evening and all that had planned to o so began look ing forward to the excursion to Washington. About forty of the editorial party arrived at Washington Fri day about 1 1 o'clock. A commit tee representing the citizens bf the city were at the depot to welcome us, and at once alt were taken in carriages and buggies and carried for a drive over the city. Upon the return from the drive we stopped at Hotel Louise. During the afternoon the editors were given every attention nec essary for their comfort, and at four o'clock were escorted out to the baseball park to witness a game between the home team and a team from Wilson. The Washington team was victorious, and the game proved to be rather one-sided as the Wilson boys went to pieces. After supper the Chamber of Commerce had prepared a boat excursion which was greatly en joyed by all. The pleasure of this excursion was made greater by the fact that quite a number of the citizens accompained the editors. After the boat ride all went to the Elk hall where speech- making and refreshments were the order. All the editors that went to Washington were high in their praise of the manner m which her citizens entertained them, and when a resolution was pre sented to express in words the feelings of their hearts it was passed with cheers. Among others that visited the thriving city of Washington we were veryjmuch surprised at the size and possibilities of the place and the pluck and energy of its citizens. We learned many things not generally known about this thriving eastern city and hope in the near future to tell our readers something about it It is right amusing to see peo ple that get their living either by raising of tobacco or the man ufacture of it, cheering the wok s of someone denouncing the use of it. With the Rowland case and the railroad troubles being heard in Raleigh there should be no lack of "something doing" for all that have nothing to do but spend their leisure moments about the court house. There are many mysteries about many things, but it seems that something is wrong when one concern is criticised for mak ing large dividends while another makes capital of the fact that they are paying big dividends. If it is wrong for cotton mills or railroads to make large dividends, why is it not equally as wrong for a trust company to do the same thing. If it is right to regulate one why not the other? Miss Etruio Collins, of East Durham, was united in marriage to Mr. Henry Bennett, of Creed moor, by Justice Owens this morning at 10 o'clock. The cere mony was performed in the jus tice's office and the happy young couple left on the Seaboard train for their future home at Creed- moor. Blunt Dr. Douoat. Dr. Ix.njf.il of Keith, who was mode n honorary member of tbe Aberdeen aoclety la T-Ct, had a reputation for bluntnes. A talkntlre woman went to him one day and sold to Mm.

Tom heard, him rattle out of earshot aruoug the trees without audible mis hap, lie then ran back to the house, where Mrs. Fawcett was already lie- side herself in the kitchen, but IVggy had paused on the veranda with an anxious face. i "'Tls you should be wid 'in, Tom." said she reproachfully. "There wasn't room. Feggy." -"Hooiu enough the one way. I take ahame o' ye for lettln' the masther go alone In his haste." "Why?" " 'Tis thrown out an kilt he may be on the way to meet his lady!" "God forbldl" cried Tom, and the wards came back to him next day. CHAPTER XXVIII. TOM bad done well to stay be hind. There was bo much to make ready thai none of the others knew where to begin un til be showed them. At his best In most emergencies, be waa resolved to strain every nerve in this one and so perhaps show some little gratitude at last The opportunity waa unique. Tom seized it with characteristic fir tor. He began by putting Mrs. Fawcett on her mettle, invented the dinner for ber and got old Fawcett out of his wife's way by sending him to a neigh boring nursery for the asparagus and the green peas. Feggy he aet to work to make the beds, while be himself gathered flowers for the table, flow .ts for the ladies' rooms, flowers for the veranda upon which the bride must tread. The new flag, bought for this day, bad never been unpacked. It was soon flying bravely from the flagstaff on the lawn. And by 5 o'clock Tom had his table exquisitely laid, but it waa nearly 7 before the curricle iampa shone through the open gate and the horses swept up to the veranda, where Tom stood in ardent readiness. He bad spent the interim in array ing himself most carefully In all his menial finery, in shaving for the sec ond time that day. In laying out bla master's evening clothes. In gathering the books which bad been left upon the shore, In reading and re-reading the poem that expressed bis case, In talking to Peggy and in thinking of Claire. The whole situation put him sadly la mind of Claire, but he waa not think ing of her as the horses trotted up. He bad forgotten all about her when be beard ber voice. Next moment the curricle bridged the stream of lamp light Issuing from the ball. And Tom stood among the rosea he had strewn, silhouetted against the doorway, with out moving hand or foot or once lift ing bis unseen gaze from Claire Hard ing's face. What followed seemed to I happen ing to another man. Ialnrce cried to him. and be hclj-ed the ladies to get down. He touched ber hand. Their eyea never met Ialntree Jumped down and led Claire on bis arm through the roses. Fawcett came up. the curricle waa gone, and Tom stood alone In the drive, watHiiug the ladies go upstairs within, followed by their maid and Dalntree, and after that he stood watching the staircase until I ia in tree ran down it and bad blm by both bands. "You dear, g"Od fellow, yon have thought of everythlngr he cried. "Tou couldn't have done more If you'd been the happy man yonrx-lf, and I shall never forget It-esj-eetally the flower." "Nor I." cried Tom bitterly. "Why, what's the matter;" "Tou might have told me who It was, sir. I recognized Mla Harding t once. Her family used to come to oar village for the shooting, and ber father waa my father's enemy. Ifs hard for me to meet ber like this after that I'd have run away If I'd known." "precisely why 1 didn't tell you." re joined Dalntree triumphantly. "Come, come, my good fellow, 1 know all abont the relatione between the two families, and you mustn't flatter your self that Miss Harding will remember you. Too're altered considerably, for one thing, and I dropped your surname on purpose to spare you any such rec ognition. Miss Harding won't know you from Adam." "I would rather not wait tipon her II the same." Dalntree showed bla teeth. "Not wait upon the lady who I to be my wife and your mistress? Yon dart to aay that to my face? Let me find you at your post when I come down atalrs or take carer And be stood a moment at the door, with the most significant and malig nant expression, after which be went upstairs to dress, leaving Tom to re gret for the first time bla impulsive confession of complicity In the Castle Bulllvan outrage and to reflect upon the many sides of the man whom Claire Harding bad come out from England to marry. Memories lashed blm by tbe score. He bad seen how the tyrant could treat his servant and 00 0 0 By : E.W. HORNUNG, Author of "Raffles. the Amateur Cracks. 0 "mii,',,rMStingaree.a 0 Etc.

His head was In n whirl of conflict ing emotions and anxieties. Still stun ned by the mere shock of seeing her whom he had never thought to see again in that outlandish place and all but another man's bride, he was faced by on Immediate dilemma which called for instantaneous decision. If Claire were to recognize him at dinner, then she was pretty certain to betray a se cret which Dalntree. on the other hand, was almost as certain to guess If hia servant absented himself after what had Just passed. Well. Claire knew best why she had made a secret where none was necessary. But If more trou ble was to come of it. let him be there to take her part. Let him be tho forever to watch over her In those passionate hands! And Tom found himself mechanically lighting tbe can dles on the dinner table and lowerirAj the shades to lessen the chance of his face being seen. While he was so engaged the Inner door opened, and Tom and Claire stood face to face. Her eyes were great with horror. She shut the door behind ber and then stood close against It. shrinking from him to whom she once had clong "I can't bear it!" she gasped. "I must either speak to yon or go mad-' Yes, yea. I know we may be caught! t can't help that! Tell me quickly, did you know who I waa before I came?" "No, Indeed.- "la It by accident that you are bis servant?" "No; he sought me out So you knew tne again, Claire?" "What did you say? Never call me that again. Of course 1 knew you! How could I forget you after all you bare made me Buffer? If I only could!" Tbe cruelty of this speech struck blm dumb. He drew himself up and grimly challenged ber with bis eye. Her Buf ferings, indeed: What bad she Buf fered? She was on the point of mar rying a rich man. No doubt it was distressing to ber to encounter him again at that Juncture. Ilia lip curled at such distress. 'She read his thoughts to the letter. "You think I have not suffered!" she cried in a low voice. "Ton little know, but this Is the last straw tbe punish ment I so richly deserve! Mr. Daln tree aaved your life. You knew that, of course? But I don't think you know why be did it It was because I asked him. It was for my sake!" x"You?" he said hoarsely. "1 see now I see! I might have guessed It long ago!" "He wanted to do something for me." tbe continued in a choking voice. "I let bim do that I deceived him to save your life. 1 am here because I deceiv ed him!" He thought be bad seen everything. He had not. but be was beginning tc now. Good bearena! Why was bla beart beating so fast? It ought to bleed instead. Here waa tbe girl be leved. and upstairs was the man be bad reason to love better still, and tbey were golug to marry like that He tried to forget, to tblnk only of what Claire bad done for bim. "(Jod bless your be murmured, "ne has auved my life twice over and much more thau my life, and I owe it all to one brave girl who believed io me and made blm believe In me when all the world"- "Mop!" aha cried. "I never believed in you at all." "Whatr "I was sorry for yon," "You believed me guilty, even when you tried to save my lifer "Of manslaughter year "Let us split no balm!

In the dead alienee following these words the servant beard his master tamping Into evening dress overhead; he felt bla own crested buttons glitter ing In the candlelight that shone upon tbe table be had set so beautifully for tbe bride, and aa she tossed back tbe ringlets that be knew so well and re peated with unflinching eyea what she bad told him In ao many candid words all that had distracted him op to tbla moment ceased to do so any more. Her coming was nothing to blui now. Her errand was nothing; she waa wel come to marry the neat day. But be lieve In but Innocence she must and should. Injustice from ber was the last bitterness, the crowning wrong. Jie one Intolerable misery which ab orbed all that bad gone before. Something of tbla he allowed ber In his bitter, proud. Inexorable look; then suddenly he retreated to tbe open French windows. "You are going V be cried. "I might have known. Yon were always generous!" "I am not now. I hear my master oa tbe stairs. "You are not going altogether?" "Certainly not at present" "When, when?" ebe cried below hei breath. "When yon do me common Justice." Dalntree had gone Into tbe fona (Continued on third page.)
