Sally looked at hjni questloeingly. lie smiled a«.d podded. •‘He's confessed?"' she whimpered. •jed shook his head guardedly. ••No. but he will or I’m in a, tough spot." he replied cheerfully. Proctor came in. "Good morning. Chandler.” he said. "You were look ins for die?” “Yea. sir. The sedan’s In A-i shape and I didn't have ar(y orders for this morning. Have >x>u any thing for me to do?” • Yes. Yes. I have. I’m triad you came in Just now or I might not have thought of it I’ve so much on my mind these last few days. I Rant you to take me foe a hop in that plane today. Chandler. I won't rest till I can whip that thing around the way you do." “Yes. sir. It's at the airport and all ready to go, When shall l take you over?" “A little later. I'll call you." Ted went out and Proctor turned to Hally. "How that young fellow can fly an airplane!” Proctor said with genuine admiration. "If he doesn't do another thing, he's going to teach me a trick or two about it. I feel that I’m going to need a plane in my business.” Hi 6 business. Was there no limit to his candor? "He was in the Royal Flying corps during the war.” Sally said. "Oh," said Proctor, smiling at her shrewdly. "Oh ... he was?” And she wished that sho had bit ten her tongue before she could have spoken. But Proctor changed the subject. "I spoke the other day of a trip," he said. - “Yes. Mr. Proctor.** "Ana have you been thinking about itr* , • ' “Why—not especially. That is. I—" "I see” he said. “Well ..." He paused. “Sally.” he said, “when you first came here it was with the idea that your stay probably would be temporary." She nodded. “That seems a long time ago.” he mused. “Tell me. have you thought any more about it, about how long you cared to stay, that is? Do you like it well enough?” "I —why, yes. I suppose so." “This is a big old house. I don’t have any reason for keeping up such a large place. Then there is any boat. I seldom use it except for an occasional party.” He looked dreamily out the win dow. “I'm a busy man.” he sighed. "A very busy man. You have no idea.” She thought she had, but didn't say 80. "There are one or two things I want to clean up here in town and then l want to take a good rest.” he continued “I want to stock up the boat and shove off for the keys. Got a bit of fishing there Look after a few of my interests at Miami, then hop over to the Bahamas for a day or two and then on to Havana. Have you ever been to Havana in the win ter. Sally?” He looked at her from a long way back in his eyes, it seemed, and he smiled as if musing on something In the hack of his mlqd. "Why. no, I haven’t. Mr. Proctor.” “I think you’d love it,” he said slowly. Why was it that when he talked to her In this fashion her voice Johnson Too Slow With Farm Prices (Continued rioin l?age One.)

Have you ever drunk a Daiquiri?” Sally shook her head. “You haven't lived No Sally" and he drew closer, "you haven’t lived.” He sighed and smiled. “i want you to think about that." he said easily. Then he looked critically about the room in which they stood. "This house could stand a bit of re decorating. I think” "No. 1 like it the way it is. [don't >ou? Sully asked, “it has charm.” "But it could stand a little touch here and there. That's another thing for you to think about.” he said. "What you would do it it were your house.” Proctor smiled at her guilelessly "1 noticed in the Tirnes-Union this morning that they’ve had a snow storm up in Chicago.” he said. “So early?" “Yes. IBooks as if they’re going to have a hard winter up there. Personally, I've had enough of that northern winter climate.” Again he switched subjects be wilderlngly, “Sally.” lie said. “I’ve been working too hard. And you haven’t had much fun. I know. Do you know,, 1 could stand a bit of dancing tonight. Could you?" “Why. I don’t know—” “1 know a nice place we could go tor a little music and a bite and sip of something good.” "Where is that?" she asked inno cently. trying not to show too much enthusiasm. "A little road house up on the Dixie. The Casa del Rio. Synthetic Spanish.” If he had noticed the expression that crossed Sally’s face, he did nos show it as he continued: ”Os course, it’s not exclusive, but it’s as nice a place as there is around here until the big hotels open in a week or two. They have a good orchestra, at that —that is. if you like this ’hot’ sort of music.” “I rather do for a change,” Sally said boldly. “1 do. I really do. That Is, not too much of It. They run it to death on the radio. That’s one thing I’ve missed down here that we had in Chicago—good music, the sym phony and the Chicago opera. Did you ever run out to Ravinia in the summer?” “Once.” she said. “It was lovely. T saw Lucrezia Borl, in ’La Vida Breve’.” "By De Falla, the Spaniard, yes, a good opera. But then Bori is al ways good.” He glanced at the clock "Well. I think I’ll go get Chandler and take my first flying lesson. Think over what I was telling you, won’t you, Sally?” “Yes, Mr. Proctor." He started out. and the last thing he said as he reached the door was: “Let me know this afternoon if you feel like running up to the Casa del Rio.” Sally sank into a chair. She felt as if she had been given a third degree. Her heart was beating furiously and her palms were moist with perspiration. The Casa del Rio! What could have made him suggest going there unless—unless what? Unless he had either ar ranged the kidnaping himself or knew about it now. The sooner she wa« out of this That is.

She was sick of his knowing smirk and she had a feel ing that none of them were long for that house; that something inevit able was going to happen and soon. She told Ted what Proctor had asked her about the trip, what he had said of Havana and the house, and finally his invitation to take her that night to the Casa del Rio. Ted stared at her. “He did?” he asked Incredulously. “He asked take you there?" “He certainly did and I bluffed rig tit through.” “Hm, hm .. . then.” Ted said with the air of a man who has decided a momentous problem, "he knows plenty about that kidnaping." “He may have had it done him self." Sally suggested. “Or he may have heard it from Vitelli.” “1 doubt the latter.” Ted said. “Yet you can’t tell.” He shook his head as if to clear it of a tangle of cobwebs. “Whew!

Nor did she try. Breath was but a minor consider ation. All she knew was that she was in Ted’s arms, with Ted’s lips upon her lips and that for a blessed second there were no shots in the dark, no threats, and she was delir iously happy. Ft was Ted who broke away. He looked into Sally's eyes, his own moist and bright. “That’s that,” he said, in a strangely thick voice. “1— I—oh. hell, this is no time for all I want to say to you. Sally. There’s work to be done first, and then when we get out of this mess—” He stopped suddenly and looked it her with concern. “Sally,” he said gravely, “there •was something I forgot to tell you.” “What is it?” she asked, awed by his tone. “That dart,” he said. “Yes.” “It was smeared with vaseline." “Well ? But—” “And that vaseline contained enough t>phoid germs to kill & houseful of people.” 4TO UH CONTINUED) State General Fund Was In Red Over $2,627,601 July 31, Reports Reveal (Contlnuec from Page One.) special school buildings bond redemp tion, SI,OOO.

Although that would be easy to do, because disease is al ways sufficiently fearful. In the cases of disease which are prevent able, however, warnings in such a form seem to me justifiable, and es pecially if the preventive measures are neglected from Ignorance, mis guides! st*i bornness or carelessness. Such certainly the case with smallpox. The description of Ma caulay, given above, is no exaggera tion of conditions in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. So uni versal was the disease that identifi cation of criminals who were at large was made by saying they had no pock marks on the face. Such a thing set a man off from the com mon run. So constant was the fear of the disease, the advertisements in the Help Wanted columns of that time demanded that servants who applied for work in a household should have good crops of poclk marks. It was recognized that one attack of the disease conferred im munity, and those who had pock TWO ARE ARRESTED IN HOUSE BREAKING Two white men were arrested by of ficers this afternoon in connection W'th the robbery of a quantity of clothing last night by intruders in the home of Lee Hilliard, who lives on. the old Kittrgll-Franklinton road below Kittrell about a mile north of Tar river.

Solely on account of vaccination. We have very little smallpox today, and nothing in respect to it has been changed since the eighteenth* cen tury except the practice of vaccina tion. Neither sanitation, nor quar antine, have any effect on it. We can see that from a similar disease, measles—similar at least in that it is extremely contagious and is spread entirely by human contact. It still is common in spite of modern sanita tion and quarantine. Now early should vaccination for smallpox be done? Osier’s “Text Book of Medicine”, the standard in the English language, says: “Vacci nation is usually performed between the fourth and sixth month.” Re member the sentence of Macaulay that. BABES were turned into changelings. Smallpox is no re specter of persons or ages. Os 3,164 deaths in the Montreal epidemic of 1885-6, 2,717 were of children under 10 years of age. Re-vaccination should be done at the age of 9 years. A person ex posed to smallpox should always be re-vaccinat6d. Wherever vaccination is neglected there exists a fertile field for small pox. Somehow there are always a few sporadic cases of the disease around. In the army, whenever a new draft came in \ye invariably had a few cases in the hospital the next day. But they caused no alarm be cause universal vaccination was practiced. If your child !s going to enter , school this year, be certain that vac cination has been done. EDITOR'S NOTE: Six pamphlets, by Dr. Clendening can now be ob tained by sending 10 cents in coin, for each, and a self-addressed envelope stamped with a three-cent stamp, to Dr. Logan Clendening, in care ot this paper.

Tht{y doubted, the ability of heaven to save “cigarette suckers,” reformers made no distinction betwelen booze and ni cotine. In those days, school men say, Mr. Toms turned loose on Durham’s greatest industry, the cigarette. There 'wasn’t room for him and it in Dur ham. He was a marvelous school teach.i.’. The tobacco company saw his greatness and employed him. Franklin Roosevelt would like to have his salary. W. W. Flowers and W. D. Car michael did not make war on to bacco; they just taught and superin tended their schools so well that the tobacco magnates said they needed a couple of nice boys jusit like these in the tobacco business. Private busi ness saw so much more 1 in them than the public saw that the beginning of that employment were on a scale that would make auy State official munificiont in a few years.

The school men axe listening in for (Latham announceme n£s every day, and if some big industrial organiza tion does not pick him up and make a worker of him at high compensa tion, then North Carolina and the world are in funny days.

Mr. Durham and Attorny General Brum mitt to support their view that the Stale Board of Education is the constitutional authority for making rules and regulations concerning the management and direction of schools. Prescribing the salaries is regarded on of those duties. It was after this meeting of the board of education that Auditor Dur ham paraphrased the famous saying of Vice President Thomas Riley Mar shall ■who said that the need of the nation is a good five cent cigar. Mr. Durham is quite persuaded that the North Carolina need is some Supreme Court decisions which will settle the question whether a legislature can delegate to a special commission the duties which hitherto had been re posed in the State Board of Educa tion. If there is anybody in that board who will precipitate the issue there is no suggestion of his name at this time.
