If Indeed, he had heard' aright, when the entrance of quite another person relieved hi mind, , however' tempo rarily. It was Danny, plainly enough; Dan ny,, the same a of old, with his half sheepish, half-Impudent grin and hli shock of flaming hair, his upper lip that was long even for an Irish boy's, , his roving and twinkling blue eyes, his tip-tilted nose, his short, sturdy physique. . "Falthr said O'Rourke,- "the gods are not so-unkind after alll 'Tie as welcome as the shadow of a great rock la - a weary land,- the sight of ye, Danny!" And "Danny!" he observed with some severity, "I'll ask ye to ex Plain what the divvle at ail ye're do ing here." - - Danny's assurance deserted him on the Instant. He had dons his former master a signal service that night, but In bis estimation nothing more than was due the O'Rourke. Whatever he . felt, he looked to perfection a ... boy caught at mbchief hangiug his head and eyeing O'Rourke under his brows, shamefaced and 111 at ease. , ' - - , - "Aw!" he deprecated, "sure,, now, yer honor, now" . -; "Danny," demanded O'Rourke stern ly, "does Mlsu Cleopatra here under-taad-Engllsh?" - - . , Divvle a word!" the ex-valet prxn tested earnestly-. "Beyond Oreek and French and Arabic, sure, she's ignor ant as Paddy's pig!" - .' So much was plainly evident from the girl's manner and expression of puzzlement. Reassured, O'Rourk pro ceeded: .

"Beetrln' yer honor's pardon." he stammered, "and I belave she Is that" - "Umm!" snorted O'Rourke. "And what. If ye please, about poor Annlo Bragln, at borne?

Noccovle Is away and and," in a. blurted confession, "'tis a bit of hashish smuggling we be' doing on the side. . The stuff Is always brought here, sor; and tonight's the night a Oonslgnmeut's due," . "Ah-h!" observed O'Rourke darkly. ; 6ne by one, It seemed, he was gather ing the' trumps again Into his own hand. , He resumed his catechism of th boy. ' . v "Danny,-Is this the way a decent man should be behaving himself?" he browbeat him. "Is it your mother's ton and the sweetheart of Annie Bragln that's become no more than an ' Idle breaker of hearts? Danny, Dan ay, what would Father Malachl be saying If he could hear what ye've ust told ms? Whin, boy, did ye con fess last?" - - - Danny cowered. "Aw, dear!" he whimpered. "Aw, dearie-dear! And neself meant no barm at all!" . . "Thin take your llght-o'-love home, Danny, and come back to me here at snce with a change of clothes!" "YIss, yer honor. I'll do that, yer honor. But will ye hark for the signal tt the door and let Cap'n Hole In?" ' It was true, then! y "I will.

Danny was back with the promised wearing apparel ere he had finished plashing. And while O'Rourke dressed, and for long thereafter, the - two sat and smoked and confabulated, talked 'of Men and Things and the turn of the Wheel of the World.. - ,v ..... . " "". CHAPTER XVI. . . At midnight the muezzin in a neigh boring minaret turned his face to the windswept sky and summoned the talthful to prayer and meditation. - O'Rourke pulled thoughtfully at his pipe until the musical, melancholy wall bad been whipped away by the breath of the khamsin, and there was illenoe save for the dull, heavy roar ing overhead. Then he resumed the conversation where it had been Inter rupted. : . - " : "And ye say ye love the young wom an, Danny?" ... :" ' "I do that, yer honor." . "And ye would marry her?" "Wld yer honor's constat I'm ready, or." "I bless the banns. Te may have her on one condition.' "Aw-wr "I've need of ye, - as I've pointed out" "Sure, yer honor knows ye can count on me to the last breath in me, sor." "Then ye'H come with me to Bur mah?" - "Do you think, sor, I could slape of nights, after hearln' from your own lips what ye've been through and bus pectin' what more ye must go through with before ye've woo? Will I be oomln', Is ut? Faith; 111 go whether ye want me or not." : ' , ; -- "And afterwards ye can come back to Miss Psyche here, or whatever her name may be." "Ylss, yer honor, and thank ye kind ly." ... Abruptly Danny started up. "They'll be comln' now, sor," he said In an excited whisper. "I'm think In' I hear thlm bliindherlng down th alley." ' He turned toward the rear of th .house, and as O'Rourke rose to follow him, the signal sounded on the metal door. Danny quickened his steps, and as he disappeared his master slipped quietly into the shadows beneath the overhanging gallery From this point of seclusion he could hear distinctly the, Jar of the bolts as Danny opened the iron door, followed by his hoars whisper: . "Whist! "Is ut . yersllves, now?" 'j : - Hole's voice answered him huskily: "Who the hell else would It be? Let us in, you damn' harp." ; The door creaked upon its hinges; and was cautiously closed The bolts rattled ' again. .. Footsteps shuffled slowly, as of men heavily burdened over the floor of earth. Then, while O'Rourke gathered himself together, exultation In his heart, and the fore taste of revenge sweet in his mouth, two cloaked figures scuffled into the courtyard. : breathing' hard beneath their burdens of smuggled drug. Hole promptly dumped his share of -the load down upon the bench and swung upon Danny. "Where's NIc- covle?" he demanded, evidently in ugly a mood its he could muster. Frr Demanded th 8cot, . Advancing. "Where is 'eT fJtop standlo inur and starln' with yer balmy trap open, yer-" "That wilt be about enough," sug gested O'Rourke pleasantly, in a con versational tone, stopping from bis yluce of concealment. "Don't oall names, Hole ye're too near your Ood If ye have one, which I misdoubt."

Since that time tbey have forged steadily ahead. The offi cers and directors straining every ef fort to give the public of this city a banking institution of which they would feel proud, and sleo a banking institu tion for the masses as . well s for the large depositor. How well they have succeeded in this was shown at their meeting Thesday, when after paying their semi-annual dividend, about ten per cent, was added to the surplus fund. This gives thi stock a book val ue of $130 per share. This is indeed an excellent showing and the officers and directors deserve much praise for Jheir work during the year. The same board of directors and officers were re-elec ted for the ensuing year. The record made during the past year by the New Bern Banking and , Trust Company was also an excellent one and the stock, holders, board of directors tnd officers were well pleased with the result of the year's work. This inati'u tion always strives to give their pa trons the best of service. The same of ficers and directors wera re-elected for the ensuing year.

SIX MILLION DOLLAR FIRE And Six Lives Lost, Fquitable Life Assurance Building ..- - Burned, y'"."

' ! , Division Freight Agent. Orr. of the Southern railway,' has finished compil ing the number-iof car loads of com modities that th$ Southern has. taken out of the J western part of : the state. - fijcaPyear' of the Southern ends with the last day of June, but Mr. Orr has monthly, records by (which he can figure up the total of any number of months at any time. The figures furnished by MYf Orr simply represent the number ocaroa4a and. the aver- ages on which fhe'je tmates were made were obtained elsewhere. The number of car loads shipped were secured in only two lines, that of wood products and stock. " ( Of lumber there were nearly 13,000 cars shipped in 1911, in actual figures 12,913. Each ears will average at least 13,000 feet. Lumbermen my that tbey will sometimes ran as high as 20.000 feet. But 13 000 as an average this would be in at round numbers 167,000,000 feet and at $25 per 1.030 feet would amount to over $4,297,000. . In lumberjalon it is estimated that 167,000,000 feet Were shipped out tf western North Carolina during the year 1911, and these figures represnt only the dimension lumber and not the build ing material,-, furniture, etc.- At a average of $25 per 1,000, this amounts to over $4,000,000. ' As to stock according to th data furnished by Mr. Orr, there were ship ped 169 car loads. Counting 30 cattle to the esr load, would make tbd number 13,770; and these at $33 each would be valued at $454,510. Of course some of the cars were made up of hogs and sheep, but a car -of sheep or hogs would be as valuable as a car of cattle, if not more k EIGHTH REPORT Census Bureau Shows Amount to January First North Caro ; lina 975,980 Bales.

Shivering with cold and weak from hunger Edward Cavanaugh, the young son of D. R. Cavanaugh, who lives near the city, called at Mayor McCarthy's home Monday night and told him that he wanted a warrant for Nick Ferran, colored, for selling whiskey to his fa ther a few hours previous. After ques tioning the lad the Mayor was convinced that he was telling the truth, and an officer was sent to Ferran'a home. Up on arriving there a search was made and a number of empty bottles and jugs were found and also one bottle of whiskey. There wss plenty of evidence that whiskey had been sold there and Ferran was placed under arrest. The defendant was given a prelimina ry hearing yesterday afternoon, and probable cause being found was bound over to the next term of superior court under a bond of $100 which he secured and wau released from custody. . Young Cavanaugh related a story to the court that was pitiful in every de tail. He said that instead of his father taking the little money that he had and expending it to buy food and clothing for his family, that he bought whiskey with it, and that if he could possibly do so he intended reporting every man who sold whiskey to his father in the future. In this wsy he hopes to make it impossible for him to secure any li quor, and it is quite probable that he will be successful. Mr. Asa Jones Dies Suddenly.

Francis Tillou Nlcholls, In the death of Judge Francis T, Nicholls, at his home in New Orleans, Lsu. several days ago, the Stat of Louisiana and ihe entire South has lost one of its greatest men. He was with' out doubt the most truly eminent, the the most highly esteemed snd th most deservedly . hodortd citizen in that State and will be greatly missed. Judge Nicholls was a general officer of Louisiana troops in the famous corps of Stonewall Jackson, of the Army of Northern Virginia, in the titanic strug gle of the sectional war of 1861 65, and lesding his men with the greatest gal lantry, he left on the fields of Virginia an arm at the battle of Winchester and a foot in tbe trtmendous engagement and magnificent Bouthern . victory at Chancellorsville, in the culmination of which his great commander, the match less Stonewall Jackson, laid down" his life. . - . i :; . i His civilian career was no less noble snd Bdmireabl than his war record and no less important to the moat vital in terests of Louisiana, for he wss tbe first governor of the state for which he h-id fought with such gallantry, not only against armtd foes on the field of battle, but against sectional despotism and political corruption, in the state's councils and on the public hustings after its restoiation to the Union. Twice governor of Louisiana and sub sequently a member of its Supreme Court for many years and a retired member with a salary and the state's blessing to the day of his death, the rec ord of this disingulshed soldier and m inent jurist is truly superb. , Several times dui lag the past he ad viaited in New Bern as the guest of his dsughter, Mrs, R. A, Nunn, and bad won the admiration and respect of all with whom ho came in contact, News of his death bronght a pang of sorrow to the hearts of those in this city whom he bad called bis friend.

Pratt Becomes Involved In Borne Shady Transactions And Skips Out of Town. Harold T. Pratt, , who has been en- ' gaged in the Insurance business in this eity up to a few days ago has left New . Bern for parts unknown, and a number .- of people in this city and also in nearby town find that they have been swindled by this smoothed tongue insurance agent. It has been known some time that Pratt's financial condition wss very pre-! carious but those who knew him never thought that he would resort to the subterfuge of the forger and swindler to elear himself temporarily of this em baraasment. Last Saturday night he boarded the train for Norfolk, and since that time he has not been heard from. Saturday morning he called at one of the local banks and presented a note for $350 endorsed by a leading citizen, asked that he be given the cash for it. . This was done. The same afternoon he mortgaged his household furniture to another gentleman for $200. He also received cash for a number of personal cheek. Later it was found that the : note he had received the money on was s forgery, the checks he gave were re turned marked "no funds" and when the gentleman who held the mortgage for two hundred dollars on his furniture called to take possession he found that the sheriff had already attached it. In addition to this several local attorneys -now have in their hands for collection a number of checks which Pratt has giv en out during tbe past few weeks and which were returned to the owners by the bank marked "no funds." Whether or not he swindled the in surance companies which he represent ed is not known just at this time. How-' ever, he was under bond in each of these companies, snd if his account are found to be other than they should, , the bonding companies will be compelled to make the loss good. Giving check without having money In the bank to cover thenf Is ""judged a misdemenor in this State and a heavy ... : l . ,u son giving them, in addition to this offense Pratt is charged with forgery, false pretense and several other offen ses, and if he is apprehended and brought to trial, he will doubtless have to pay a large fine or spend a long term in prison.
