The two of them were alone on the wide fi rounds, only the mass ol woodland at the other side, only the river wall below. The wind blew warn) as June, but with the fall tang of smoke and autumn flowers. A little of the music echoed still about Emilia: she began to daiu-c on the turf, singing again tlie silly, sweet tune that rung in gills' heads that tear — "Smite the ir/t it<; you kiss me fond adieu . . .” The frail courage and pink-lighted amorousness of the waltz-rhythm turned suddenly real apd passionate to Roger, there with her alone on the moon-whitened green lawns. He made a step forward to catch and kiss her where she turned slowly, all warmth and innocenre allure. Then he held still—this was his lit tle sister and his princess, as well as his love. He couldn’t treat her like some painted, held little girl Picked up at ti dance. •T/et's go down to the river,” h« said, his deep voice abrupt with the effort of keeping- his hands off her. “I’d love it. I'm all alive, aren't you? I never felt oo alive. I could dance or run—or live— forever!" “I fe.el so, too,” he said. They both laughed a little wildly, as Emilia and Dick had laughed to gether earlier. On both sides of the walk that ended at the arbor before the steps to the water were tall monthly rose trees, flowering still. "Tho roses aren’t withered yet.” she said. *'‘That hung o'er the wave’? Yes, they are," said Roger, "the climbing toses on the river wall are.” Emilia laughed and ran before him through the arbor, kneeling in the moonlight beside the low stone par apet, overgrown, all its length, by trailing rose vines. "Remember when we all helped mother plant these?" she said, streak ing softly. *T remember.” Isabel Valaty. dead for years, was a living memory still. "Then you ought to remember that there ic«« one monthly climbing rose!” She knelt at the river's edge, her arms full of long stems. The moon was quite high now. It turned lier into a silvered image, silver-gold for hair, silver-blue for gown, statue silver face and body. Her liair, loosened by the evening of danring, had been pulled all down by a catch ing rose bough. It was such hair as girls envied then. And like everything else about Emilia, it was part of the romance she sent out from her like a scent. She was Mclisande in Ji«r tower, or, farther back, one of the Grimm pnneeswes they had read about together. With a childish con fident coquetry she broke one of the withes, set with tiny pink roses as she had told him, and tied it round her head. "These are the 'roses that hung o'er the wave,’ and they arcu’f with ered!" she said, smiling. The touch of her hand, and her smile up at him, broke his control. He drew away from her, so as not to be tempted to snatch her into lus arms, and said abruptly, "Emilia, will you marry me liefore I go?'*. , /to »p nnxrrxvF.iti and 27 persons were injured, most of them circus performers. |W (tain was en runts to Wuffls STATE’S ROADUM lAWSHOTI! National Mkfaaiiie Soon. To Print Aitidto on North Carolina. Plan nuiwtrk Birtaa, la the Sir Walter Hotel. »» J. C. BOKRRVtU. Raleigh, Sept. 22.— Because of the interest being shown in the North Carolina road law throughout the en tire United State* and the likelihood that numerous other states will con sider similar LaWa when their legis lature* meet this winter. The Country Gentleman, one of the nation’s leading farm and agricultural publications, will soon print an article dealing with this road law. Ben Hibbs, of the edi torial staff of The Country Gentle man has been in the State for several days now making a study of the law and how it has operated since it went into effect here on July 1, 1931. The North Carolina road law, en acted by the 1931 legislature, under w-hich the State took over some 45,- 000 miles of county roads and pul them under the maintenance of the State Highway Commission, attracted nation-wide attention at the time of its enactment. No .State had ever be fore attempted to abolish all taxes on property for road maintenance and to take over the task of maintaining all roads at State expense. For under the present law, the counties were re lieved of the responsibility of main taining county roads with a conse quent saving to the taxpayers of from $10,000,000 to $12,000,000 a year. The cost of maintaining ail highways In the State under the present law is paid from the revenue received from the State tax on gasoline. Because of the tremendous amourtt of property tax reduction brought about by this road law and the fact that ti has been operating satisfac torily for more than a year now. tot her states are again becoming in terested in it and want to know more of the details of how it has worked out. Mr. Hibbs said. He estimates that at least 30 states will consider similar laws this winter when their legisla tures meet.

Morrison, director of relief for North Carolina, is in Washington today con ferring further with officials of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation with regard to relief loans for this State. He is expected to return to morrow or Saturday. It is not known a* yet how much money North Carolina will ask to borrow from the S3OO 000.000 Federal relief fund appropriated by Congress since so far reports have been re ceived from only about 52 counties.
