He saw in this child. dig ulty and simplicity She was more of a great lady than Adelaide had c v©j been. That night before they went to bed. Joan spoke to Penelope of the Hallams. "They are coming to the funeral. I am not sure they know J am here.” she hesitated. "Penelope. It's going to be a little hard to meet Drew." ■Why. my dear"" "Because, ties treated ma yery badly ” “1 know " "It he had really loved me. he couldn’t have kept away, and now 1 have all this money. Oh, Penelope, he’ll want to do it. and I mustn’t.” Her face was white, her voice lense. Penelope said, soothingly: “Don’t think of it. my darling." “But 1 must think.” When the Hallams came on Mon day. Joan was In the library at the he;id ol the erent stairs, where the family was assembled The gather ing was an imposing one. The rela tives were, most ot them, distant *nes, out without exception they were prosperous, and against the setting of rich dark woods, and old portraits and leather oound nooks, rhey look on an air of formality and conservatism which made Nancy’s russet hair and somewhat spectacu lar attire seem out ot place. The pair attracted much attention as they came in. and Joan was aware that Drew’s good looks were Intensified by the somber clothes that be wore Ann in which she nad never seen him. There were so many people about that their meeting could be only a conventional one. yet the clasp ot Drew’s nand was tight on nera, and •c always she was thrilled by nis toin h But she gave no sign of it. She was very pale, and the whiteness was emphasized by the close black hat that she wore. There were shadows under her eyes. Watching her. Drew said in his heart. "My sweet.” Nancy, who sat beside him. whis pered. "Adelaide left Joan all the money.” "How do you know?” "Farley told me." All through the services Drew had that to think of. That Joan was rich. And that she had had no welcome tor him. Joan. en the night of the runeral. in Adelaide's place at the head of the table, was aware that in the eyes of rne major portion of her guests she was an intruder. Just before dinner, the will had been read, and the as eembl"rt relatives had learned she vv*« heirtss to her aunt’s estate Willi* ,t wa* not unexpected they I CONDENSED STATEMENT I I of Condition of I I The Industrial Bank of Henderson I I At the Close of Business June 30, 1934 I '• ' ‘ * i <’•' .i 1 * l> ■' i ( ' • ■ I Resources Liabilities I ■ Loans and Discounts $165,069.70 Capital Stock (common) ....$ 50,000.00 Stocks and Bonds •. 6,456.47 Capital Stock (preferred) .. 20,000.00 Banking House, Furniture Surplus and Undivided Profits 12 835 12 FiXtU “ -eS 22 ’ 2]4 ' 67 Reserved for Interest Taxes Cash on Hand and Due and Depreciation 2 Q3l 24 ■ fromßa " kS 31 ' 565 2 ° Deposits: Certificates of Investment 140,429.68 ■ 1 Bills Payable NONE T° tal $225,296.04 , Total $225,296.04 \ IWe Make Loans on Weekly We Pay Interest I I or Monthly Payment Plan (On Savings) Investment Certificates I This Bank Offers to its Customers Safety and Service .

The exception to those who resen ted it. was one ot Adelaide's own cousins. She remembered Adelaide ala loving girl. She remembered her hefore the old days ot her marriage ano ot the display of creamy shoul ders. She remembered her when the two of them had dreamed together, and because of these dreams, the little old lady said to Joan: "1 know why she left everything to you. my dear. She wanted to live in your heart as she lives in mine. None of the rest of them have hearts to live in.” And Joan, looking Into the faded eyes had said ”1 afn sorry I didn't know how much she .oved me. I might have been kinder." "You were kind enough, child. Io these later years she shut herself up io • shell of selfishness. But that was not the real Adelaide. The real one was the girl I knew." The Hallams were dining with the rest of them, end they were to spend the night Hi the big house Nancy had asked, casually. "Have you room for us. Joan?” "Os course.* “Then we’ll stay here If you don’t mind." Joan and Drew had he«' a moment alone on their 9 return from the funeral, and he had said, looking down at her a* ahe stood with avert ed eyes. "Haven’t you forgiven me?" "Plea**, let’s not talk about It. Drew.* He had tried to take her hand; hui with a very definite gesture of re fusal. she had stepped back “Are you as hard as that, my sweet ?” Tears hao filled her eyes. “I am not hard . . but you hurt me dread fully And Aunt Adelaide's death makes everything .’’ Other people had arrived just then, and there had been no further op portunity for private conversation Yet now at dinner. Joan had to admit she was glad Drew and Nancy were with her. Their presence saved her from a sense of utter desolation Penelope had elected to pat upstairs. “I shall he much happier, my dpar. than with that hunch of stiff-necks.” "But after this, Penelope, you're not to .stay away." “As you please, nyt tonight Pd rather.” Nancy’s russet head shone brightly amid the gray coiffures and shining baldness of the elderly guests. She and Drew, expertly and pleasantly, helped Joan carry the dinner through successfully, so that she had a sense of gratitude and co-operation, as if the three of them were divided against the hostility of the others. For now there were no exceptions to those who resented her presence. The old cousin who had loved Adelaide had gone home. “T shall have tea and toast and memories in (Copyripht /RXI. bp Central Presal HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 1933 my own big tvMie*. my dear. Oomt and see me some I want no one else who la here, you." After dinner they all went into the frosty drawing room, and coffee was served. To Joan the whole scene seemed utterly unreal —with Jason moving about in the frigid light of the crystal chandelier, with the men in theii black coats and the women in their sedate gowns, and with her self the center of 11 all. There had been some bequests to the relatives, but the bouse with all its furniture was Joan’s. She did not really want it. but there it was. and the chances were that she would live in it. She found herself wonder ing what she could do to lessen the effect of frozen monotony—flowers, perhaps. loads of them . . An old gentleman was telling of balls and dinner parties when Ade laide was a belle and a beauty. Joan asked idly. ’’Why aren’t there any belles in these days?” "The type was different, my dear, more imposing, if I may «ay it.” The old gentleman remembered Adelaide’s coming-out party—her sweeping train of pink satin, lace flounces, rose gar lands. white gloves and bracelets, a necklace and fan, a shawl and head dress. Things had been more spec tacular in the sixties. This child was charming hut. —his mind went inevit ably to Tennyson for comparison— "as water unto wine.” ft was Drew, watching Joan from the other side of the room, yet not seeming to watch—who saw her po tentialities. "With the right dress maker in Paris . . . with a year or two of Continental residence .. . she'll come bark to lake the world by storm.” He knew what he wanted—to have her take the world by storm as his wife! He wanted to be the head of this old house. Jove, how he would like to do it all over in the magnifi cent Spanish style. That was the idea —a sojourn in Spain foi» ail ot them himself and Joan and Nancy, Nancy was a whizz at interior dec orating—and some of those gilded leathers, with all this pale stuff swept out. those glass monstrosities which hung from the ceiling replaced by girandoles—richness and Mlor —that was the thing! He saw himself in the midst of it all. his friends about him. and JoaD the lovely chatelaine —he would dress her to suit the part! The thought thrilled him! He would win her yet . . though he might have to go slowly. The reward was worth the waiting. He wondered what she had meant when she had said: “Aunt Adelaide's death makes everything different.” The guests who were staying out of the house departed early. Some of the others soufht their rooms. Drew went with a half dozen men to the library to smoke. Joan and Nancy, the last in the great drawing room, ascended the stairs together. Nancy said. “Come In.” as Joan stopped at her door, "and tell me about yourself.” (TO BE CONTINUEDJ LIONS HOLD TOP IN filllf LEAGUE Dei eat M. P.’« 5 4 With J.

FRESHMEN Chapel Hill, July 18—An increase in the number of prospective students ad ml ti‘><l to the frfeshman class at the University of North (Carolina for 1934- 35 hiay indicate a general upturn of business conditions in North Carolina. The rgeistrar’s office revealed today that approximately 450 new students had been accepted for admission to the University next September. Last year’s freshman class had about COO students, and at this date last summer the number of applications was con siderably less than 450. University officials point out that some of the increase may be attribut ed to the change in entrance require ments adopted by the faculty last spring. Where formerly students, to be admitted without deficiencies, had to present four years in foreign lang row ”requirement is reduc ed to only two units. The difference is important to many preparatory and high schoo lgraduates. Another cause for an even more sharp increase may follow th ean nouncement last week from Washing j ton that the FERA aid to needy col lege students wil be continued in 1934-35, officials stated. At Chapel Hill alone the Federal aid will pro vide employment for nearly 300 stu dents in 1934-35. \ Dr. Philip B. Hawk of New York, noted food chemist, born at East Branch, N.
