James G. K. McClure, head of the
Farmers Federation there. This one
bull treed some 30 people before it was
finally brought down, McClure said.
“This particular but! was one of sev

to a farmer in Buncombe county to
be pastured,’’ McClure said. A day or
so after he had received these steers,
this farmer took a friend out to see
this particular bull, which was larger
and more spirited than the others.
WJhen they got out to the pasture, this
bull saw them and charged right
through a ‘barbed wire Fence at them.
He went through the fence as if it
been nothing more than paper. 1
“The farmer and his friend fled for
safety behind another barbed wire
fence, but the bull also went through
that. They then made a break for
some apple trees in a nearby field,
with the bull hot after them. But they
managed to climb an apple tree before
the bull got to them. The bull, how
ever, surprised a party of five or six
berry pickers in this field, and they
also took to the apple trees. He
stormed and snorted around for a
while in this field and then went on to

“By this time the neighborhood had

out after the bull with shotguns and

Henderson Men
Engage In Fight;
Resist Arrest
("Warren Record.)
H. E. Finch and Arnold Mason,
white men of Henderson, were yester
day afternoon bound over to Record
er’s court under bonds of SIOO each
for resisting arrest and assaulting
Night Officer Lee Wilson Thursday
morning about 3 o’clock when he
went to take them into custody for
striking J. B. Powell and. N. P. Marks
For assaulting Mr. Mjarks and Mr.
Powell, they were aech fined $5 and
taxed with half the court costs.
Officer Wilson had started to take
the Henderson visitors to jail, it was
said, when one of the men grabbed
the arm his gun was in and the other l
caught him around the neck and be
gan pounding his face with his fist
The alteration ended wit hthe officer
having a swollen jaw, one of the men
having a sore stomach and the other
a gash across his head from the gun
in Mr. Wilson's hand.
The trouble with the Henderson
men began with John Powell and N.
P. Markks. It was said after they got
together they had some kind of an
argument and Mr. Powell and Mr.
Marks were knocked down by the
visitors.
In giving an account of the assault
Night Officer Wilson said last night
that Frank Neal, who replaced E. ,C.
iLovel as night officer the first of the
month, told him that there had been
a disturbance up the street between
Mr. Powell, Mr Marks and wto other
men and that when he approached the
men fled. Mr. Wilson said that when
he ran across them at the hotel and
began asking them questions they be
came resentful and told him that they
were not going anywhere.
The officer stated that when he
caught them by the arms and told
them thta he was going to: take them
to jail. Finch jerked away, tearing
the sleeve of his shirt. Finch then
tore his entire shirt to pieces, Mr. Wil
son stated. He said that Mapon reach
ed back in his pocket like he was go
ing for a gun and that he struck Finch
with his pistol and “covered” Macon.
Mr. Wilson said that when he start
ed down the street with the men Mia
con grabbde the arm of the hand his
gun was in and Finch caught him
around the neck and began choking
him and striking him in the face.
Jesse Richardson, bell hop at the hotel
ran to the scene of the fight, Mr Wil
son said, and caused one of the men
to stop fighting. The officer said that
he got the scizzors on the other man
and he gave up. With gun in hand,
Mr. Wilson marched the men in front
of him down the street and placed
them in the lock-up.
Roosevelt, another negro bell hop at
the hotel, summoned Chief Drake, but
before he could reach the scene Of
ficer Wilson had his men in hand.

Raleigh, Aug. 4. —The feldspar, mica
and other mining industries in the
western counties of the State are be
coming increasingly active and for the
first time in four or five years are
actually making money, according to
Liston L. Mallard, inspection engineer
for the State of Labor,
who has just returned from inspecting
the various mines in Avery, Mitchell,
Yancev, Caldwell and Watauga coun
ties. Many mines that have not been
in operation for from four to five
years are now operating at almost full
capacity, while many new ones are be
ing opened up. The most active of
these ar the feldspar and mica mines.
‘ The reason for this increased ac
tivity is the higher prices being paid
for feldspar and mica as the result
of the co ies covering the cereiriles in
dustry,” Mallard said.

“But H has happened ”

“I have been. But I came down
far a bit to buy things. Farley is
with me.”
“And now that we have met? Can’t

“No . . .” she considered the mat
ter ... “I might dine with you
I have a late fitting of my wedding
gown ... at five.”
He did not let her finish. “Your
wedding gown? You are going to be
married?” his voice was sharp.
“Yes. Didn't you know?”
“How should I?”
“It was in all the papers."
“I rarely read society news.” Then
be put a question, squareiy: “Did
you get my letter?”
“Yes.”
“Why didn't you answer it?”
Color came up into her cheeks. “I
. . . there have been so many things
to keep me . . . from writing.”
“I see,” dryly.
They stood for a moment in silence,
then Giles said: “Perhaps, even now,
1 am intruding?"
She held out her hand to him, Im
pulsively: “Oh, no, please . .
“Then shall I call for you at the
wedding gown place?”
“Yes.” She gave him the address.
“I am getting a lot of things. How
would you like to come early and let
me show you some of them.”
“Your gowns?” #i
“Yes. The mannequins look lovely
ia them.”
“Not lovelier than you."
He smiled at her, and then went on,
with a touch of wistfulness: “Do you
know what I have In my parcel?”
“No.”
“Silver slippers. Last night I was
out in the mist and rain and passed
this window and saw them. They
were like the ones you brought to
Seripps' shop. Do you remember?”
Did she? Her eyes showed it al
though she was silent.
“I thought of you as I saw you
then —lighting my dim room. So this
morning I came in and bought them.,.
They were like having a bit of you
with nfe. Do you see? Not having
you—l must have something.”
Her fingers touched his sleeve, “I
am sorry.”
“I don’t want—pity . . then with
a quick change of voice. “I’ll come
for you then? At five.”
When later he called for her at the
rooms of a famous dressmaker, he
was admitted at once and found Joan
Waiting for him.
He had never been in a place like
this, and was amazed at the beauty
of the setting—classic draperies in
gray and violet, long mirrors set in
the wall, violets in low vases. Noth
ing else, and all this simplicity as a
background for the graceful automa
tons who swept in and out in this
gown and that, cool, young, beautiful,
perfectly poised, utterly complacent.
“Are all of these yours?” Giles de
manded of Joan, as the mannequins
came and went.
“Yes. Sometimes it doesn’t seem
true in the least. I feel as if I were
an actress on a stage, dressed for the
part.”
The famous dressmaker appeared
now to comment and criticize:
“Mademoiselle w'ears best the simple
things,” he said, “it is her type. I
shall show you next the wedding
gown ... It is a copy of an old por
trait of a lady of Provence."
-He went away, the mannequin
trailing after him in draperies of jade
and silver, and when Giles and Joan
were alone. Giles said: “I always
think of you as I first saw you on
the rocks.”
“How long ago it seems.”
They sat in silence. Both of them
with the thought In their minds of
that stormy day, with the wind beat

fision was Joan like a winged visitant
high above him. and in Joan’s of the
idvid youth, with ruffled hair, his
land upraised to warn her.
She caught her breath in a sigh.
‘Dear friend, I should have answered
pour letter."
He turned towards her with a quick
novement. “It would have saved a
neartbreak. I have been In the
iepths.”
She reached out her hand towards
ilm and he took it. “I don't know.”
jhe said, “why I didn’t write. It is

“I have tried to understand . . .

In a recent magazine article Dr.
Blair listed the chimpanzee as the
most intelligent of anirpals known to
man and he puts the elephant third.
The horse known years ago as “old
Dobbin” he puts eighth and the cat
tenth.
Those living with the Russell Bros.
Circus can testify to the intelligence
of the Chimpanzee for they see it dem
onstrated daily. The “chimp” not only
has memory, but is capable of reas
oning and solving troubles or prob
lems, whereas other animals are not.
The elephant has a remarkable mem
“You haven’t told me when it—is to be.**
haven’t told me when it—is to be.”
“In April."
“So soon?” he broke off as the fa
mous dressmaker re-entered, followed
by a mannequin.
“The wedding gown,” Monsieur an
nounced.
It was an exquisite thing of lace
like a cobweb, with pearls dripping
down the front of It, and orange
blossoms in clusters catching the veil.
“Mademoiselle should wear it herself
to show it Ui its perfection,” the fa
mous dressmaker said, “but we have
a superstition that the bride must
never try on a gown after it is fin
ished. We dare not risk unhappi
ness.” He smiled at Giles. He be
lieved him to be the blissful bride
groom ! Giles wondered what he
would think if he knew the truth?
That he was nothing to Joan. That
she had not cared enough for their
friendship to answer his letter . . .
that even now she was pitying him.
He had an overwhelming desire to
break forth into sudden savagery and
tear the wedding gown to shreds. But
of course he wouldn’t. He would
simply sit there saying banal things
while within him the red blood was
surging.
When they came out, Joan said,
“Shall I dress for dinner, or will you
take me to some place where I can
wear what I have on?”
"I don’t want to see you gorgeous.”
he told her with a sort of desperate
bitterness, “Joan, let me have you for
a little while as if there were no past
and future . . .”
He took her to a charming place
in the Bois. They motored through
thick woods to a long.building with
a sweep of garden in front. “I
brought you here.” Giles said, “be
cause of the trees; T shall never think
of you as Mrs. Hallam of Paris and
Baltimore. I shall always think of
you as Joan of the woods.”
They had a table which gave them
through a wide window a glimpse
under the moon of pale statues set
among young poplars. And when
Giles had ordered, he said. “Now tell
me how you happen to be in Spain.”
He listened while she told him
more than she knew she was telling.
Os Nancy’s letter. “She asked me to
come over and eat the apple!” Os
the glamour of the gay life at Bar
celona. Os Drew’s devotion, “He
really loves me."
“It is an artificial existence,” she
confessed. “Nobody seems to have
any cares, any responsibilities. We
all do as we please, and nobody asks
whether things are right or wrong.
It is just whether it w M be ’good
fun’.”
“And you like it?”
“Yes . . . one side of me likes it.”
“And the other sine?”
“I'm not sure,” she laughed a little,
“but the t; ste ol the apple is sweet.”
He leaned forward. "Do you really
mean that, my dear?”
The flippancy with which she had
been speaking was no longer in her
voice as she said: “Oh, don’t ask
me . .
“Why not ?”
“Because that’s the thing that

ory and also is able to reason, but it
seems to be slower in the brain ac
tion than the chimpanzee. Elephants
may be brought on to a circus practi
cally dumb as to doing any act. Such
is the case with two of the big ones
with the Russell Circus. This is the
first year that they ever toured the
country. They did not know a trick,
until late this winter, when the train
ers in winter quarters at Rolla, Mo.,
began to teach them. Within four
weeks they were almost perfect in
performing the tricks required of
them. They learn much quicker than
the horse and are always willing to
work when once they are taught. *
Almost every other animal ever
worries me—whether all my iit e *
shall want —to eat the apple . .
He reached for her hand and held
it tight in his own. “Joan, when I
saw your wedding gown I wanted to
tear it to tatters.”
She tried to withdraw her hand.
"No. let me say it. I can’t bear the
thought of you as Hallam’s wife. >ly
dear, I love you. When you marry
Hallam my heart will die."
She sat staring at him, then sud
denly it seemed as if the world about
them dropped away and there was
only his illumined face in a sort of
golden haze—his strong hand on her*.
She spoke breathlessly—“ Giles, dear,
I must not iisten . . . please , . . And
will you take me home?”
In the days that followed Joan’e
departure,. Giles lived in a dreadful
dream. The thought of her marriage
was a nightmare. Yet what could he
do? In modern times one did not
rush in and forbid the banns simply
because of a sense of the desecration
of such a union. a
He tried to throw himseif whole
heartedly into the drama of the lives
of Amelie and Seripps. There were
hopeful signs in Amelie’s condition.
At certain moments she seemed girl
,ish and normal and iike the young
Amelie who years ago had lived her
brief romance in Paris. Seripps, too,
took on an effect of youth. His pur
suit of Amelie was that of a lover;
happiness revivified him and brought
light to his eyes—color to his cheeks.
The climax came one afternoon
when the three of them had driven
to a little inn on the outskirts of
Paris, a charming place with a pond
where ducks swam in the silver
water, and with blossoming fruit
trees flinging their pink and white
against an azure sky.
Seripps had bought, along the way,
a nosegay of spring flowers for
Amelie. She was all in white and
looked like a bride with her great
bouquet. She said as they came to
the inn, “T remember this. Raymond
was with us . . She turned to
Giles. “You were not here. It was
Raymond?”
It was the first she had seemed to
differentiate between her brother and
the man who she had insisted was
his counterpart.
“No, I was not here,” Giles said
gently.
Her eyes were clear fcttd candid.
“Raymond went away and left us.
Seripps and I, it was our honey
moon.”
She spoke no more of the past, but
when they had dined and the da.V
had darkened into an amethyst twi
light. she was content to follow
Seripps to a charming arbor rooted
with spring blossoms, leaving Giles
to sit by the pond which was now
purple in the gathering dusk, and de
serted by the ducks who had settled
themselves on the grass, sleepy heads
tucked under their shining wings.
A crescent moon w r as reflected in til#
