I " was such a little group of

I Wept by unknown winds,
I W'vt the winter's cold, like

I Jake something imagined, unspeak-
I Mv far off. Only the sea and the
I Iw were left, and the craft strug-
I Hns wearily, ever farther into the
I empty North.
I Lenore found herself oppressed by
I w unreasoning fear. Realities were
I wtting home to her, and she was
I EiTof them. It would have been

I wholly comfortable; she was already
I accustomed to the cramped quar-
I ten. The men of the crew were
I corneous, Ned the same devoted
'over as always. The thing was
»iore an Instinct with her: such
pleasure as the trip offered could not
compensate for an obscure uneasi
ness, a vague but ominous shadow
over her mood and heart that was
never lifted. Perhaps a wiser and
secret self within the girl, a subcon
sciousness which was wise with the
knowledse of the ages before ever
her be;ng emerged from the germ
plasm was even now warning her to
turnback. It knew her limitations;
aso it knew the dreadful, savage {
realm she had dared to penetrate.
The North would have no mercy for !
her if she were found unworthy.
Perhaps in her heart she realized
1 that she represented all that was the
antithesis of this far northern do
malr.. She was the child of luxury
aud ease: the tone and spirit of
these wintry seas were travail and
desolation. She was the product of
a generation that knew life only as
a structure that mems civilization
had built; out here was life itself,
rav and naked, stripped and bare.
She was lawless, undisciplined',
knoffui;: no code but her own de
sires; all these seas and the gray
fog-laden shores they swept were in
the iron grip of Igcw that went down
to the roots of time, dhe had never
looked beyond the surface of things:
he heart that pulsed in the breast
of this wintry realm lay so deep that ,
only the most wise and old, devotees
to nature s secrets, could ever hear
it b?a;. She hau the unmistakable

i these, the wide-stretching seas and
the infinity of stars, were rapidly

social attitude of recklessness that

all by refusing to believe that life
contained any depth that she had
not plumbed, any terrors that she

she could not meet and master. Hut
here these things mattered not at aIL
Neither ancestry nor social position

find her unprotected. Her own per

was suddenly revealed utterly be
yond her ken. But there was no
turning back. Every hour the
Charon bore her farther from her
home.
Mrs. Hardenworth, whose habits
of thought were more firmly estab
lished, was only made irritable and
petulant by the new surroundings.
Never good company except under
the stimulation of some social
gathering, she was rapidly becoming
something of a problem to Ned and
Lenore. She was irritable with the
crew, on the constant verge of insult
to Bess, forecasting disaster for the*
entire expedition. Unlike Bess, she
had never been disciplined to meet
hardship and danger; her only re
source was guile and her only cour
age was recklessness; so now she
tried so overcome her inner fears
with a more reckless attitude toward
life. It was no longer necessary for
Ned and Lenore to seek the shelter
of the pilot house for their third
whisky-and-soda. She was only too
glad to take it with them. More
than once tne dinner hour found
her glassy-eyed and almost hysteri
cal, only a border removed from
actual drunkenhess. Never posses

good breeding, a certain abandon
begun to appeax in her speech. And <

perfectly sura in him m strength;
out there was also a more complex
reaction—one that be could not ana
lyze or put into words. He couldn’t
call it happiness. It wasn’t that, ns
*eßs the mood that follows the bear
log of wonderful music is also bap,
piness. Perhaps that was the best
comparison: the passion he felt was
Something like the response made to
great music. There had been times
at the opera, when all conditions
were exactly favorable, that he had
felt the same, and once when he had
’ hsexd Fritz .Kreisler play Handel’s
J “Largo.” It was a strange reaching
x and groping, rather than happiness.
| It was a stir and thrill that touched
• the most secret chords of his being.
[ He felt most at night when the
great, white northern stars wheeled
r through the heavens. It was good
to see them undulled "by smoke; they
- touched some side of him that had
r never been stirred Into life before. At
• such times the sea was lost in mys
' tery.
f The truth was that Ned. by the
will of the Red Gods, was perceiving
■ something of the real spirit of the
> North. A sensitive man to start with,
he caught something of its mystery
1 and wonder of which, as yet, Lenore
: had no glimpse. And the result
• was to bring him to the verge of a
far-reaching discovery: that of his
own weakness
He had never .admitted weakness
before. He had always been so sure
Os himself, so complacent, so self
sufficient. But curiously these
things were dying within him. He
■ found himself doubting, for the first
time, the success of this northern
adventure. Could he cope with the
realities that were beginning to press
upon him? Would not this northern
wilderness show him up as the weak
ling he was? 1
For the first time In. his life Ned
Cornet knew what realism was. He
supposed, in his city life, that he had
been a realist: instead he had only
been a sophist and a mocker in an
environment that was never real
from dawn to darkness. He bad read
books that he had acclaimed among
his young friends as masterpieces of
realism—usually works whose theme
and purpose seemed to be a bald
faced portrayal, of s«c—but now he
saw that their very premise was one
of falsehood. Here were the true
realities—unconquerable seas and
starry skies and winds from off the
waste places.
Unlike Lenore, Ned's regrets were
not that he had ever launched forth
upon the' venture. Rather he found
himself regretting that he was not
better fitted to contend with it. Per
haps, after all, bis father had been
right and he had been wrong. For
the first time in his life Ned felt the
need of greater strength, of stronger
sinews.
What if his father h'ud told the
truth, and that strict trials awaited
him here. It was no longer easy to
disbelieve him. Almost any disaster
could fall upon him here, in these
wastes of sunlit water, in the very
shadow of polar Ice. The sun Itself
had lost its warmth. It slanted
down upon them from far to the
south, and It seemed to be beguiling
them, with its golden beauty on the
waters, into some deadly trap that
had been set for them still farther
north. It left Ned some way appre
hensive and dismayed. He wished he
hadn’t been so sure of himself, that
he had taken greater pains, in his
wasted years, to harden and train
himself. Perhaps he was to be
weighed..in the balance, and it was
increasingly hard to believe that he
would not be found wanting.
In such a mood he recalled his
father’s words regarding that dread
realm of test and trial that lay some
where beyond the world: “some bit
ter, dreadful training camp for those
that leave this world unfitted to go
on to a higher, better world.” He
had scorned' the thought at first, but
now he could hardly get it out of his
mind. It suggested some sort of an
analogy with his present condition.
These empty seas were playing
tricks on his imagination; he could
conceive that the journey of which
his father had spoken might not bo
so greatly different than this. There
would be the same desolation, tho
same nearness of the stars, the empti
ness and mystery, the same sense of
gathering, impending trial and stress.

SHIM INTEREST
IN CABARRUS COUNTY
W. A. Gvercash Expresses
Delight With County Fair,
and Thinks It Will Mean
Much to Agriculture.
SPECIAL EDITION
ALSO DELIGHTS
Mr. Overcash Thinks Public
ity Given in Fair and Indus
trial Edition Will Be Great
Advantage to the County.
That the average man and woman in
Cabarrus county hardly appreciates the
wonderful agricultural resources of the
county is the opinion of W. A. Over
cash, past president of the Retail Mer
chants Association, and proprietor of
the furnishing store that bears his name,
in commenting on the special edition
which The Tribune and Times is now
working on for publication October i)th.
”i was delighted that a fair associa
tion was formed.” he said, “because noth
ing will stimulate the farmers more than
a tine display of the products of our soil.
We are all going to get our eyes opened
October Kith to 20th in connection with
what Cabarrus county can produce. While
we all know in a general way that we
have a fine farming county, it will take
the fair to collect together the exhibits
which will drive home on the minds of
all beholders, that Cabarrus is -in a
class by itself when it conies to variety
and extent of agricultural wealth. Our
cotton, our corn, our wheat and our
grain will stand comparison with any
county in the state. Our soil is excel
lent for fruit and vegetables, and a begin
ning is being made in these two lint's of
husbandry. The fair will go far to en
courage more farmers to diversify their
efforts. Livestock will thrive in Cabar
rus. It is among the safest and most
certain enterprises the farmer can take
up. because livestock is growing into
money regardless of weather conditions,
and there is a ste.vly market the year
round for butter, milk and cream. The
fair I am sure will prove a great stimu
lus to livestock.
“But a fair, unless it is advertised and
well attended will not help. The decis
ion of The Tribune and Times to publish
a special edition devoted to boosting the
fair and recording the agricultural and
commercial growth of Cabarrus, is most
timely and happy. It is just what is
needed to properly complete and round
out the plans of the Fair Association.
The association has provided the way for
greater agricultural development through
the inspiration and education furnished
by exhibits. Now The Tribune and The
Times is going to make sure that the
work of the Fair Association is made
100 per cent, effective. I think the spe
cial edition just prior to the Fair will
guarantee a tremendous attendance and
will make fair week OcW>er 16th to 20th
one of the most important- weeks in the
history of Cabflrrus county. I am glad
to learn that the special edition is being
heartily supported by all classes of busi
ness men. That is what I would expect
from the people of Concord.
New Ginning Law.

STOCKHOLDERS OF PEOPLES
BANK TO LAUNCH PROJECT
Chance Name and Officials; Awaits Ap
proval of Depositors, Comptroller.
Sa'isbury Post, 14th.
The Peoples National Bank will he
reorganized.
This decision was reached last night
at an enthusiastic meeting of the stock
holders of this institution. *
Wit I)iu a few minutes after the meet
ing was called to order by Chairman W.
H. Gibson, the remainder of the SIOO,OOO
which was necessary, was readily sub
scribed. The stockholders were in ses
sioir-only a few minutes.
The name of the bank and new officers
and a complete change in the personnel
"ill be made, it is stated, after the~prop
osition gets definitely underway.
Reorganization of the bank is tenta
tive upon the consent and approval of
the comptroller of the currency and and
a favorable vote of a majority of the de
positors. It is understood that the
comptroller of the currency is anxious
for the bank to reorganize and start
again on a sound basis.
A committee was appointed to attend
to all preliminaries and work out the
matter of reorganization. The commit
tee is composed of the following men:
I • N. McCubbins, T. M. Kesler. ,T. R.
Maynard, N. W. Collett and W. H. Hob
son.
This committee meets today at 2 p.
m.’ to begin working on plans for t4ie
reorganization of the bank.
At a fture date, a mass meeting of
the depositors will he held as soon as
the stockholders have organized and
formulated a concrete proposition to of
fer tin* depositors.
The depositors will be asked to sign
a release of approximately 50 per cent,
of the amount of their deposits. As the
bank makes 5 per cent on deposits, the
.depositors will be credited for that
amount, and so on. until, the stockhold
ers and depositors hope the par value
of deposits or stock can be realized.
At the meeting last night approxi
mately $15,000 was subscribed. The
$85,000 had been previously subscribed.
This project, if agreeable to the comp
troller of the currency, means that the
recent par- value assessment on the
stockholders will not become effective,
pending the outcome of the new under
taking.
