Duke interests are apparently , I; working in another direction in the u interest of North Carolina. Aecortl - ing to a Raleigh story Duke money & has become interested in the Norfolk S- Southern Railway ami plans arc made * for a mammoth program of* develop ment and expansion for the system, a F program that will carry the Piles of | the company well into industrial North j Carolina. Eventually it is said, the system will be electrified. The road now serves eastern North > if:. Carolina and development plans are 1 I understood to contemplate physical ; connection with the Piedmont & , Northern line, controlled by the Duke j ;■ interests, which runs from Charlotte • {■ so Gastonia and into the textile reg- . ;i ton of South Carolina, and involve I I: the movement for the construction of an electric railroad from Charlotte to Winston-Salem via Concord. It is suggested that the Norfolk Southern may become a bidder for the ! Atlantic and Yadkin railroad, running from Sanford through Greensboro to Mt. Airy, if that road is sold under re , ccivership as is now expected. With K this road the Norfolk Southern could I reach Greensboro by connections at Sanford. If the electric l ; ne is com ; pleted to Winston-Salem and there are many reasons to believe it will, the Norfolk Southern would have ac | cess to the tobacco center of the State. Ek If the Norfolk Southern is electri | • fifed power from the Southern Power f Company, also controlled by Duke money, will be used. | 1 The development plans for tlie Nor- B folk Southern offer more reasons why 8.. Concord should strike to get the I*. ’ & N. extension. The new plans ' would make it possible for Concord S: to get freight shipment over' The Norfolk Southern thus creating com fi petition which the Southern Railway ! has never had here. The P. & X. H will give another connected seervx'O, as Bit were, from Concord to Norfolk and i many points in eastern North Caro-1 lina, many of these cities not being [B served directly by the Southern Rail-1 I i; way or any of its branch lines.

The two Methodist Churches in the United States will not affect a merger fur the present’. This is known by the results fA the conference voting already completed, for the two-thirds majority for the plan is lacking. We agree with The Charlotte News in the opinion that “it is not to be wondered at that the proposed unifi cation of the Northern and Southern Methodist Churches has become the oc casion for intense interest.” The de nomination is one of the largest and strongest in the United States. It Is estimated that 8,000,000 persons arc affected by the proposal to unite the two Churches, while property worth many millions would be unit(sl'in a Church that would rank with the big gest and most influential in the world. In a recent issue The North Caro lina Christian Advocate carried the I follow ing data which is particularly interesting novr in view of the voting that is being done in many confer ences on unification : 'The Methodist Episcopal Church has 5,408.479 members; the South ern Methodist Church 2,537,303. The average increase in membership in the Northern Church in the last eight years was 81.192: in the Southern Church it wgs 47.304. The Method ist Episcopal Church has in foreign lands 16 bishops and 1.228 mission aries, in addition to 622 under the women's board : 3.400 ordained native preachers, exhorters and altar work ers, 3,000 church houses; 10,626 Sun day schools, with 512.964 scholars; and 607,751 church members. The Southern Church has in foreign lhnds 28!) traveling preachers, 57.718 mem bers, 64.812 Sunday School teachers and scholars, 82!) churches and prop erty valued at $2,087,905.’’ INDIANA BARS FIGH?

I' . - CHAPTER XXX. (Continued) It was ’over; he had done his bit. For a long while he remained there uert, his patient, haggard face bent, vis eyes fixyd upon the floor. He elt very old, very much used up, tnd the labor of thinking was un bearable. When the fire had died tnd a chill had crept into "the room le roused himself to note that it had frown dark. Manifestly, this would tot do; there was the problem of iving still to face. Sooner or later his very evening he must go to Kouietta and pretend to a joyous tess he could never again know. That meant more smiles, more ef ort; it would take all he had in him o carry it off, and, meanwhile, the nore he let his mind dwell upon her he more unbearable became his houghts. This solitude was playing ricks with him. Enough of it! He nust get out into the lights; he must iea" voices and regain the mastery if himself through contact with sane ieople. Perhaps in the saloons, the estaurants, he could absorb enough aughter to make safe the mockery ie purposed; perhaus it would ible him to stamp a grin upon his eatures. But his impulse was futile; in pite of himself he shrank from peo •!e and hid himself unobtrusively in corner of the firtl place he en ered. He was hurt, wounded, sick o death; he longed to creep away omewhere and be aloqe with his •ain. In order that he might the sooner ie free to do so, he rose finally and lu.ik out upon the street It would oon be time for Rouletta to go to vork. He would get it over with. Cap in hand, his heart heating leavily at the prospect of merely eeing her, he came on noiseless oles to her door. He could hear ler stirring inside, so he took a eep breath and rapped softly. She uttered a cry when she saw lint standing there; then a sudden 'allor crept into her checks, a queer onstraint enveloped her. Ncver hcless, she put both her hands in lis and drew lym across the hrcshold. She said something which (either of them understood. ’Poleon’s ears were roaring, but fter a few moments he discovered hat she was gently chiding him. •Vhere had he been?

Os course, I went to the Barracks, finally, looking for you.. I’m just back.

He told me it was yop who did it all—how you followed those men over the Line, alone, after he played out; how Joe McCaskey killed his own brother in trying to kill you. But the whole thing is public now. I heard it as I came back. You’re quite a famous char acter in Dawson tonight, ‘Poleon dear, what with this and - with Frenchman’s Hill.” “Ho!

By golly! mu sceur, you’re millionaire.” “I remembered, of course,” Rou letta said, faintly. “I—” She closed her eyes. “I couldn’t believe it, however. At first I didn’t under stand where the strike had been made; then I couldn’t credit it. I thought I was dreaming—” “You dream as much as you can,” ’Poleon said, warmly. “Dey all come true now. What,? Everyt'ing come out nice, eh?” Rouletta opened her eyes. They were shining; so, too, washer face. “Yes, my dream has come true — that is, my biggest, finest dream, f’m—-the happiest girl in the world, ’Poleon.” "Ma sccur!* the man cried bro kenly and with a depth of feeling that even Rouletta could not fathom.

When he stared al i her in open bewilderment she re peated: “Yes, another brother. 1 i took him for something altogether ! different, but—” She laughed hap pily. “What do you think of a girl who doesn’t know her own mind? Who lets the one man, the real man, go away? She doesn’t deserve much, does she?” i “Ma sccur! Ma sceur!” the big fellow cried, hoarsely. He had fall en all atremblc now; he could have believed himself demented only for . something in Rouletta’s face. "You mean— him? W’at’s dis you sayin’ ?” “I mean him—you. Who else could I mean? He doesn’t care for me, but for another, and I’m—oh, so glad!” i “Mon Dieu /” ’Poleon gasped. ' “For why you look at me lak dat? Don’—don’—l” His cry was one of pain, of reproach; he’closed his eyes the while he strove to still his work ing features. He opened them with a snap when a small, warm, tremu lous hand closed over his. “You wouldn’t mind if he called me his sister, if—if you called me— something else, would vou, dear?” i “Oh. mo sceur!” he whispered. 1 "I'm Poor, ignorant feller.

Then as life, vigor, fire suet I ceeded his paralysis, she swayea : closer, until her breast was against his. With a wordless, hungry cry of ecstasy, so keen that it was akin to agony, ’Polebn Doret enfolded het in his great embrace. “Don’ spoke no more,” he implored her. . “I’ll be wakin’ up too soon.” They stood so for a long time before she raised her dewy lip* to bis.
