Owt. 21.—-That, the Trinity Law has been ahead of j other law schools in the matter of scholastic rqHuiremeats, before Ja stu dent’s admission to the study of law is evidenced by the publication of new and higher requirements to be enforced be ginning this year by the Association of, American Law Schools in the fifty-five institutions belonging to the association. Beginning September 1. 102.1, ail standard law schools require' for admis sion the completion of one year of col lege work W its equivalent. After* Sep tember 1. 102.1. two years of college work or its equivalent will be called for. This standard of two years of col lege work to go into* effect in 1021 has beeu enforced here in tlie Trinity Law School since the establishment of the law school in 1004- It is seen, there fore. that the requirements at TriuitjL hn ve beeu twenty-one years in advance of those laid down by the Association of American Law Schools. In two other respects the Trinity Law School has been a leader. From the beginning it has made use of the case system, which is used by practically all of the great law schools in America. Then the law school here is a pioneer in printing law books prepared by • its faculty for the use of it studets. In 1001 it printed the first edition of Dean S. F. Mordeoai's famous Law Lectures, and in 1011 a second edition was brought out. In 1003 it printed I)eair Mordeoai’s Lex Scripta. Then came Prof. A. C. Mclntosh’s Cases on Con tracts the second edition of which (1011) is still in use in the school. Prof. R. A*. Audegsou’s Summary of Common Law l*tcmltng came out 4*»- 1010. In 101 l’rqf. AY. S- Lockhart prepared a fTandbook of Evidence for North Carolina which is widely used. Mrs. Vanderbilt and Joe Cannon. Charlotte Observer. The honors this week seem to have been about equally divided between Joe Cannon, of Cabarrus, and Mrs. Vandef bilt. of the Stat? of North Carolina. Cannon was th<» determined factor in starting the Cabarrus County Fair and in making it go. Hhursday was Joe Cannon Day. and it seems as if all of . Cabarrus and a large part of the neigh bor counties had turned out to make it a redletter affair. Air. Cannon is presi . dent of the fair rtnd he had gathered around him a party of the most progres sive men of Concord. He advanced lib eral financial aid in establishment of the grounds and in construction of what is said to be the inowt perfect race track in the State, and the people showed their . appreciation in enthusiastic manner. The fan- that has been under way this ; week at Concord lias established a of tine accomplishments and a reputa tion that makes for its permanency. Ca barms and Concord have a fair worthy both the county ami town. Woodmen Camps at Concord and Kan napolis. G.

IffHE ISLE OF 1 jte- RETRiBUTIO:; 31 K » EDISON MARSHAL'. © LITTLt, BROWN e COM P**y, 192> BEGIN HERB TODAY Ned Carnet bto fiancee. Lenore. and Best a seamstresa, are «ur vivor* of a shipwreck They take refuse on an tstond inhabited b> a Sn named Doomsdorf and his in ji wife. The master of the island Is Ned and the girls that they must be his slaves. Ignore is too weak to do any work so the burden falls entirely on the shoulders of Bess and Ned. The prisoners build a cabin ana Doomsdorf gives them an old stove. Am soon as the cabin Is completed Ned and 'Bess are informed that they ore to learn to be trappers. Lenore is allowed to remain with the squaw and help her with the housework. Bess and, Ned are given separate routes. The squaw starts Bess on her way and Doomsdorf instructs Ned. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY The dam itself didn’t appear to be a natural formation of rock. It looked more like driftwood, but it was inconceivable that mere drift could be piled in this ordered way. "It must be a beaver dam.” be said. "You’re right for once,” Doomsdorf agreed. “A big beaver weighs about* 50 pounds—and he’s about the handiest boy to trap there is. You’ll wonder what the purpose of these dams is. As far aa I can make out, simply to keep the water at one level You know these little streams rise and fall like the tides* They’ve learned, in a. few hundred thousand years of their development, that it doesn’t pay to build a nice house and then have the creek come up and wash it away and drown them out.” Doomsdorf explained that a trap set on the house itself so alarmed the animals that the entire colony was likely to desert the dam. Instead, the trap was set lust belojv the sur face of the water at /a landing—a place where the beaver went in and out of the water in the course of their daily work. Doofnsdorf still marched in his easy, swinging gait; and ever it was a harder fight to keep pace. Yet Ned dared not lag behind. His master’s temper was ever uncertain in these long, tired hours of afternoon. Tired out, weakened, aching- in every muscle and not ftrr from tba absolute limit of exhaustion, Ned Staggered to thfe enfcin door at last. He had put out all the traps he"had brought from the home cabin: tlytnce his course lay along a blazed trail that skirted the edge of the narrow timber belt, over the ridge to the Forks cabin. DoomsdoW entered, then in the half-light stood regard ing the lounger than wJto had fol lowed him in. - Ned tried to stand erect. He must not yield to the almost irresistible impulse to throw himself down, on the door and rest. He dared not risk s anger; how did he know what instruments of torture the latter’s satanic ingenuity might contrive in this lonefy cabin! Nor was bis mood to be trusted tonight. His gray eyes shone with suppressed excitement: and likely enough he would be glad of an excuse for some diversion to pass the hours pleasant* ly. It was very lonely and strange out here, in the open, in the ljull sweep of the wind over the barren lands. But Ned wasn’t aware of Dodms dorfs plans. The great blond man stretched his arms, yawning, but toned his coat tighter about him. and turned to go. “I'll see you in about five days.” he remarked laconically. Ned wakened abruptly from his revery. “You mean—you aren’t go ing to show me anything mere?" *T*ve shown you how to set your traps, for every kind of an ahtirad.” Doomsdorf said. “Yqu ought to be Able to do the rest. By the time you oemo around, we’ll likely haste frees* tog weather that means you'll have SOLONS ARE TALKING OF STATE POLITICS —■ -• Will Neal May Be Candidate for Speaker of House.—Othei's Mentioned. Asheville Citizen. The presence in Ilaleigh today of Rep resentatives Will W. Neal, of McDowell county, and Rot) Cvx; of Forsyth, gave rise to talk about legislative politics. Mr. Neal has been spoken, of as a possible candidate for Lieutenant Governor while Mr. Cox has beeu considered a likely as pirant for the next speakership. lint now it i« said that Mr. Cox may not run for the speakership and that Mr. Neal, instead of aspiring to the Lieuten ant Governorship may seek the ; house honor. It is considered certain that if Hugh Chatham, of Representative Cox’s I home county, comes out for Lieutenant j Governor, Mr. Cox will not make a con- J test. And if Mr. Cox doesn’t run for speaker then Mr. Neal will. J The last Legislature sized up Mr. (3ox and Representative Edgar W. Pharr, of Mecklenburg, as the rival candidates for the next Speakership. Turn Bowie, of Ashe, was also put down as a possibil ity but latest word from the mountains is that he will rest upon the laurels of his $10,000,000 railroad victory. Mr. Pharr is expected to contest for the place. There is strong advocacy of Mr. Cba tham for Lieutenant Governor and he may be groomed to euter the race for which Senator Walter Woodson, of Row an, and former Senator Ilob Reynolds, | of Buncombe, now on a tour of the world* are being groomed. More political talk that visiting po litical talkers are Offering for fair week substantiates the report that Senator D. ! F. Giles, of McDowell county, will oppose Commissioner of Labor and Printing M*. L. Shipman. Unless the outlook changes materially, Giles will contest with his mountain neighbor, and that might pro duce an interesting campaign. Mr. Ship man had as mam worries about his job as any other man in officialdom. Th£ * to thaw out your animals before you skin them. “Here and here and here”—he paused, tp put in Ned’s hands a clasp hunting knife, razor sharp, a small pocket hone to whet his tools, and a light axe that had been hang ing back of the atove —“are some things you’ll The time will come when you’ll need snowshoes. too. There's a pair on the rafters. Now I’m going to tramp back to the cabin to spend the night—in more ' agreeable company.” For a moment the two men stood regarding each other in absolute. ( Then Doomsdorfs keen ears, eager for such sounds, caught the whisper of Ned’s troubled breath ing. Presently a leering smile flashed through the blond beard. “You mean—you and Lenore will be alone —” Ned asked, “You saw the squaw start out with Bess?” was the triumphant an swer. “But why should you care? It was Lenore’s own wish to stay. She'd take me and comfort any time, sooner than endure the cold with , you. Os such stuff, my boy, are wo men made.” Ned’s face, lifeless and whitmans & 1 . DOOMSDORF STRUCK. RIM OFF. ‘ stone, was no longer loose with ter ror. A desperate fury had brought him to the verge of madness. “That’s a foul lie!” he shouted, reckless of Doomsdorf's retaliation. ! “She didn’t dream that you would do , that —” Doomsdorf struck him off, hurling - him against the wall; but it was not. with the idea of inflicting punish ment. Ned could not speak, but Dooms t dorf looked at him with the fire of a zealot in hia eyes. “I don’t want anything that’s that t easy,” he said with infinite contempt. [ “Sometimes the game is harder. I : take back something I Inferred a - moment ago—that all women would , do the same. The best of them, the most of them, still will go through i hell for an- idea: and that’s the kind whose spirit is worth while to break. , Do you know any one who right now, likely enough, is trudging along through this hellish snow with forty pounds of traps over her back?” Ned shuddered, hurHng off his doubt, believing yet in the fidelity of his star. “I don’t know, and 1 don’t care,” he answered. “That’s what Bess Gilbert is do ing, and you know it. There, young man, is a woman worthy es my f steel!" He turned and strode out the door. Ned was left to hia thoughts and the : still, small voices of the waste places, alone with the wilderness night whose word was tbe master word of life, and with the wind that sobbed unhappy secrets as it swept his cabin roof. Legislature was after him last session, it got after hifue once before, and more re cently the Governor took a crack, at lpm. The name of Oscar (1.

Mr. Carpenter has said nothing for him self but every now and then some one brings to Raleigh the report that he will seek the place. ' ', Mellon Hopes For Reduced Taxation. Washington, Oct. 18—Secretary Mel lon in a letter to- Senator Harris, Demo crat of .Georgia, made public today, ex pressed the hope that Congress may be -able to reduce taxes at its next session. Replying to an inquiry from the senator as to whether apy recommendations have beeu made for the repeal of the tax on telegrams, the secretary of the .treasury said: "The tax program of the treasury has not yet beeu finally de termined* I hope, however, that if Con gress does not make any extraordinary expenditures a reduction in the burden of taxation can he made and that the repeal of the war tax can be included in the program.” « Son S Hoots Father Five Tinea; Walks Off.

In spite of the fact tbu he went alone, th® second day w&a ever so much easier than the Urn and he came into the home cabin onl* painfully tired, but not absolutely exhausted, on the fifth. . A ll through the fiv e davs he bed strengthened himself with the thought that Lenore awaited h*m J the journey’s end: and she bad never seemed so lovely to him as when, returning in the gray twilight he saw her standing framed in the lighted doorway of the home cabin Doubtless it was his own eagerness that made her seem so slow in eo m . ing into his arms; and his own great fire that caused her to seem to lack warmth. He had been boyishly an ticipatory, foolishly exultant. Yet It was all sweet enough. The girl flut tered a single instant in hig arms, and he felt repaid for everything. ‘‘Let me go," she whispered tense ly, when his arms tried to hold her. “Don’t let Doomsdorf see. He might kill you—” But it came about that she didn’t finish the warning. Presently she felt his arms turn to steel. She felt herself thrust back until her eyes looked straight into his. She had never seen Ned In this mood before. Indeed, she couldn’t ever remember experiencing the sensation that swept her now: se cretly appalled at him, burnt with' his fire, wavering beneath his will She didn’t knov? 1* had arms like that. His face, wnen she tried to meet it, hardly seethed his own. The flesh was like gray iron, the eye* cold as stones. “What has Doomsdorf to do with it?” he demanded. “Has he aaj claim on you?” “Os course not,” she hastened to reply. “He’s treated me as well ee could be expected. But you know— he makes claims on us all.” The fact could not be denied. Ned turned from her, nestling to tbe fire for warmth. The happiness he had expected In this long-awaited night had failed to materialize. He ate his great meal, sat awhile in sporadic conversation with the girl In the snug cabin; then went wearily to his blankets. Often, in the little hour after sup per about the stove, he wakened from his revery to find that he had bset thinking Bess. She had com* in from her line the previous day and had gone out again; and he had not dreamed that her absence could leave such a gap in their little circle. He had hardly regarded her at oil. yet he found himself missing b*r. , She was always so high-spirited, e* couraging him with her own high j heart. But his blankets gave him slum . her, and he rose in the early hours, breakfasted, and started out on hi» lonely trap line. He was not a little ; excited as to the results of this morn ing’s tramp. Every skin he took wee his, to protect bis own body from ( !the hitter, impending cold. The first few traps had not been sprung. Outwitting the wild crea tures was. seemingly not the easy thing he had anticipated. For a- moment be couldn't local* the beaver trap. Then be saw that the wire, fastened securely to th# bank, had become mysteriously teat Not daring to hope he began to tag It in.
