Pitta murmured. “I take it that

Mr& Burnham to fall in love with

to me a very unkind idea, and not
very wise.”
Alysia jumped up and shut her
bureau with a thud.
*Tve sold Reggie for good food.

my accounts settled for me every
aow and then. For ease and com
fort, in other words, and I shall
never have a happy day again."
Etta said nothing.
-or course he’ll marry the woman.
Tt’a the only way. I shall always
hate myself—and him. Oh, curse
money! Curse it!”
I thought you wanted more

squinted in her chair. Suddenly she

“Now, don’t be silly,” Etta spoke
firmly. ’’Don’t go to Vichy, too.

“If only there were some other
way!” Alysia said.
"Short of waiting till Aunt Norah
has given John the £30,000 she writes
of as her wedding gift to him, and
then killing him off at once, I can
see no way,” Etta said pleasantly,
“and somehow one doesn’t feel like
committing murder even for the
sake of keeping Reggie in the fam
ily. But to be serious, there may
be no marriage. There’s Lady Ida
to reckon with, too, you know She’s
seemed quite determined on getting
John back. And what she’s deter
mined on getting " Etta’s un
friendly smile finished the sentence.
"Personally I should have waited,
before sending Reggie off, to see
what she would do.’’
“Oh, Ida!” Alysia fairly snorted.
"She’s no earthly chance of getting
John back. She had him at her feet
once and he got up again and walked
away. When a man does that ”
“I’ve often wondered why he did
do it.” Etta murmured with retro
spective curiosity. "If he did. I’m
not so sure that there wasn’t some
thing else between them—not love,
but business ”
‘Same thing with her!” snapped
Alysia. Etta gave a reproving shake
of the head as she hurried off in
answer to a telephone inquiry.
It was two days after she had sent
off her letter to the Naylor sisters,
and Lady Tait was installed in the
hotel lounge for the first time since
her accident She looked about her
with the vivid interest of one who
had not expected ever to see a lounge
again. After all, she was over 70.
But the present day 70 has plenty
of fight and pluck. Silver-haired,
black-browed, slender, handsome,
energetic, she had come through
with flying colors, and now, barring
a limp, and a liking for chairs, was

To any one else, or to her at any
other time, Vichy at this hour is in
supportable. The papers had just
arrived from Paris, and each vendor
was shouting the name of his sheet
in the peculiarly penetrating French
twang.

“Via L’lnlransigeant!” reached
her most clearly in the national

trating howl of all cut through the
others. It was Le Matin. Its ven
dor even managed to make himself
heard through the hooting of the
motors, which consider it a point of
honor to sound their horns at their
loudest when rushing through Vichy.
Lady Tait picked out a macaroon
from the plate and frowned. It was
a most excellent macaroon. Such as
only seem to grow in France.
Grudgingly she admitted that much.
But she regretted having come.
Vichy wafer is all very well when
drunk away from the springs with
which she believed it to have no con
nection other than name, hut she de
tested the place itself She was not
inclined to be pro-German, but when
she compared French and German
spas, her heart warmed to the Teu

Her English doctor hadn’t wanted
her to come. She had thought this
insularity. Now she called it wl*-

The French doctor to whom a
friend had given her an introduction
as one of the leading men there had
just been in. Lady Tait’s aquiline
nose quivered with indignation. To
stand behind her, put both his arms
around her suddenly, and press his
two outeurvin£ thumbs hard into
the center of her waistline, and then
look grave because she gave a small
howl of pain, was really not cricket.
Lady Tait was positive that Doc

great deal louder than that, if she
had suddenly tried it with him. And

RACE TOCONGRESS
Some Prospects, Including
B. H. Perry, of Hender
son, Definitely Out
KITTRELL UNDECIDED
Says He Will Determine His Course
By Week-End; Only Three De
finitely In the Contest
Thus Far
Elimination of a number of pros
pects in the fourth district congres
sional race is fast nairov, ing the list
of prospective candidate i who will
seek to succeed the late C >npressman
Edward W. Pow in the national House
of Representatives.
£>o far there arc only three avowed
candidates who have actually an
nounced. Jere P. Zollicoffer, of Hen
derson, was the first to make formal
announcement of his intentions, after
Mr. Pou’s death. He was followed yes
terday by Harold D. Cooley, of Nash
ville Palmer E. Bailey, of Raleigh,
v/as a candidate against the late con
gressman even before his death.
B. H. Perry ,of this city, who had
been mentioned as a possible can
didate, said definitely and positively
today that he was not and would not
be a candidate J. C. Kittrell, who has
also been prominently mentioned,
said he would make a definite de
cision before the end of the week as
to whether or not he would get into
the fight.
Mr. Zollicoffer already is touring
the district soliciting support, and
said he was much encouraged over the
response he had found. He said he
had been l shown many courtesies and
received tentative promises of support'
everywhere he had been.
It appeared possible today that
Wake county would have no candidate
other than Palmer Bailey. J. M.
Broughton a»id John W. Hinsdale,
both of whom had been mentioned as
possibilities, have definitely removed
themselves from the race. Indications
today were that there would hardly
be more than four or five candidates
for the place. George Ross Pou, son
of the late congressman, and exe
cutive director of the State Highway
and Public Works Commission, is ex
pected to he an entry into the con
test within a few days.
Team Captained by Ft’ed
Hight Winner; Order
Sends Orphans to Home
The “side” captained by Fred Hight
won out in a membership contest
over Pat Hight’s “side” in the Junior
Order, it was announced today, fol
lowing the close of the contest with
the council’s meeting last night. The
contest has been a spirited one with
a large number of members being
added to the order.
At last bight’s meeting, it was re
ported that the order had succeeded
in placing three orphans in the na
tional home of the order in Tiffin,
Ohio.
The council set April 17 as the date
for the presentation of a flag to Clark
street school with the West End
'School being presented a flag on April
22 with appropriate exercises at both
presentations.
Fred i Higtyfc and Pat Hight were ap
pointed as a to jleeide the

order.' ... -*

buses that should be retired from
service.
Now that the PWA has approved
part of the first request and has
granted $23,000 to be used for the pur
chase of school bus bodies, both Mar
tin and Dr. Baity are confident that
the remainder of the grant, as well
as the larger grant of $120,000, will
eventually be appioved and that a
total of $500,000 will thus be available
within the next two years for the
replacement of old school buses.
This will not be sufficient, how
ever, to purchase all the new buses
that are really * needed, Martin said,
pointing out that of the 4.500 buses
now in use, at least 2,000 should be
replaced. If it is found that the Em
ergency Relief Administration will
positively agree to make up any de
ficit in the school appropriation need
ed to pay teachers this year, the
school commission may decide to buy
$1,000,000 worth of new school buses
and then get the balance needed to
pay the teachers from the Federal
fund $50,000,000 already set aside to
assist State public school systems.
But this will not be done, Martin
said, until it is definitely Known that
the relief administration will grant

Doctors Give Creosote
For Chest Colds
For many years our best doctors
have prescribed creosote in some
form for coughs, colds and bronch
itis. knowing how dangerous it is to
let them hang on.
Creomulsion with creosote and six
other highly important medicinal ele
ments, quickly and effectively stops
coughs and colds that otherwise
might lead to serious trouble.
Creomulsion is powerful in the
treatment of colds and coughs, yet it
is absolutely harmless and is pleas
ant and easy to take.
Your own druggist guarantees
Creomulsion by refunding your
money if you are not relieved after
taking Creomulsion as directed. Ee
ware the cough or cold that hangs on
Always keep Creomulsion on hand
for instant use.— tAuv.)
