as we, and ou lives ;wjll one long
honeymoon. Nothing shall be denied
you.. Come." ;-Carried away as I was
by the impetuosity of my passion, 1
firmly believed that I had forecasted
our destiny as infallibly as fate itself
as I turned my glance from the fly
ing roadway to her face. She must
have' caught so'me of my enthusiasm,
; them to that effect by means of a let J for hor eyes were glowing and the
tet - giving more Important buBlnesa
- ts tny reason and enclosing them a
check for my overdrawn salary. This
"; radical step having been )ta.;en, and
?. with icy bridges now being burned be-
hind me,1" " experienced some of the
' Joyous . sensations of an onward
f marching invader of a new continent.
"With nothing to hamper me now ex
' cept the keeping of an eye upon my
Investments, I could givo myself over
to the attractions that lay by the way
(. without the ever-piesent and pleasure
marring thought of early rising and
V uncongenial work upon the morrow.
The automobile was at the ent.rauca
Oi the Vccdla- Mrs, Dice uwall od me
In her apartments, and together we
"descended and entarcd the machine.
I gave it plenty of speed and we went
whlrrinK down th wide artery that
led to the. heart of the city.- I to'.d
i' bei of my resignation frcm druJgery,
v and after a moment's - reflection she
voiced her arproval of it. '
"The position was but a"8tepping
sione, and it Is hiirdly ''possible tha
It would have ever brought you mor
than a hard-earned Uving. And that
ts the very thing that, I am; anxious
v that you should escape. Ycu are rap-'
idly becoming a man of affairs and ;
your future depends a great C&tlThiore
on what you do with your head than ,
with your han,." -"'H ;;-:'".."
It was a g.oriouii thing to be hum
mlngjalong with her in thiit ' ear'.y '
forenoon hour, her commendation
.ringing in my ears and' the sw,et-tnesa
; of freezes blown ecress- fresh waters
; exhilarating ray physical uens'es. My
"utbusiasm leaped,;on'war(l --B&V&fSf
as a bounded rubber ball, ard despite
her 'Injunction to the contrary,. 1 rt-
termtned to maku a ctaFtowanla the
.' subject of our marriage.1- But I would
' make It judiciously and if; she cau
tioned me would Immediately turn
' Into some other iliwinel. 1 let one
tMnd fall uooa. her alo.'ed flngws.
"If yoi. were viy wife, sweHthert.
' 1 would be the hitpplest man In th
, world today," 1 said, tenderly. "There
la an old and wise adage which says
we should live to our fullest today
ft for tomorrow we die. And it some
times seems to,n e that we are partiul
fingers which-1 held entwined them
selves amongst mine. ;,'
"It is what I have dreamed also.- It
Is what my life muBt be,- and of late
I have grown t picture you In my
mind as the onewho Is to share all
those things with mo. But it would
be terrible to-awake some morning
In the midst of our happiness and find
It ruined."" Therefore I wish you to
be fully insured before embarking
not that I would love you any the
more if you bed a million,, but because
the lite you have Just portrayed is
what we Doth crave. And I believe
that all you have said will come true.
But while I might.wisb, vory much to
irmrrv you tomorrow. I ' think it Is
better to wait." ''-'-..
I slipped my free arm beneath hers
and drew her to me. "Make It to
morrow, dearest," I pleaded, i'eeling
that she swayed upn the brink of Bur
render and that could 1 have taken
her in my arms she would ' have
yielded completely. "VvTien I think
how happy we would be, it Beems a
shameful waste of time to deny our
selves." Her bosom was rising and
falling . rapidly and , I knew that the
battle wiuv.n ner was raging snu.p-1
ly. -Her reply was both distressed
And beseeching: ' n '
' "You must not press me any more,
Tom. No "woman is-more human than
I. You are making it very difficult
for mo to resist, ard it hurts me to
say 'no' to you. Please please don't
drive me' so hard." - - '';:- :' ' " ,
)j "Tomorrow," 1 insisted mercilessly,
holding her still tighter and pushing"
feyad vantage to the wtterinost. Hh
averted her face, a troubled- look
haunting lt,u-;'' .!rl '; :';'-"'' '
' "Then I will compromise In this
way. I dll give you your answer to
morrow. . I must , have one day In
which to Ihink It over. Mind yon, 1
do not promjse; I do hot refusn; I
Simply demand a day of grace. You
must let go of me now.", r r
The finality of her tones told me
that further pleading at this time
would bo more likely to jeopardize my
chances than help them, but feeling
confident, nevertheless,- that I had
woTi. I released her. ; And that she

next two hours as I attended her in

The lecal company of Naval Reaerves
yesterday received orders ti leaver on
board the Elfrieda Monday' morning
with a crew of twenty-five men , tor
Eder ton, where they wit receive order
f rom C. 6. Vann, fish commissioner, to
destroy the fiih neU io the various in
lets of the Albemarle Sound in Dare
county. Complaint of violations of the
ft nine law have been so frequent late
ly that this step was deemed advisable
by the. state government and at a meet
ing of the council of state the governor
was advised to employ every means to
see that the laws are enforced. The
inability of the civil authorities of Dare
county to prevent violations is so appar
ent that the calling out of the naval
militia and the ordering out of the
gunboat were made expedient.
There were many comp'aint as to
violations of the fi-hing I iws last fall,
but action was deferred in the hope ' ha
the civil authorities of Dare county
wouldattend to the matter, but com
plaints have' continued to come in. The
violators, have been warned repeatedly
but their answer has been to , spread
their nt? in the channels and inle'i of
Albemarle,Sound and thus to prevent
the fish frpm entering Pasquotank river,
in whore shallows the fish spawn. It
would not take many years of feckless
catching of fish to cause a shortage in
that seclitn, and it was to preserve
them that the legislature passed a law

Drug Men Objecting To ' IJeipg .
Called Dopcrs, Dr. Wiley Ap
plies Above Term. .
Wsshingtcn. March 22. -Dr. Harvey
W. Wiley, appeannxas a ri 'ale cit zen
before the 1 ure food board In advocacy
of a regulition guarding very strictly
the use and sale of opium, morphine,
coc tine and other habit-formirg drugs,
aroused the anger of drug repre ea'a
tives by referring to them m "dopers.',
A heated argument entued and for a .
moment it looked as if blows might be .
passed. After several interchanges Dr.
Wiley consented td witharew the term
"dopers," but said he would still insist ,
on calling them "manufacturcrj of poi
son." ... .. :;'-V.,v.-i: ,
For that," he added, "is what y.u
yourselves are willing to have there
drugs and preparations containing them
called." , .
As soon as the former chief chemist
had used the word Vdopers," John J. Queens,
of St. Louis, a manufacturer
of saccharin, was on his feet object
ing. : -'"
V We cane heri," he declared, "to be
given a hearing; we are respectable ,
minufactmere and we do not want to
be insulted. I think the . board slnu'd

mark." -.,:';."- .tVV''
"1 refus! to withdraw it," came back
the do:tir. :- . . ';:
But after further discussion by sever
al pres nt, with whom he .said' he had
had pleasant lelatior.s, Dr. Wiley modi- ,
fled his language. ; - , ; s -
The representatives of the drug
manu'aeturers argued that exception
should be made of prepa'ations contain
ing only small portions of opium, mor
phine, cocaine and ether drugs named.
They held that there were so mmy of

Another Wreck On Norfolk-Southern. '
Wendel', March 22. Last night - at
6:15 a Norfolk-Southern freight train
had one of its cars jump the track just
as the train was pulling into Wendel I.
The condition of the track softened
by the recent showers was not to blame,
for this. The front track of. a ear f.ud
denly collapsed and smashed about ho
axle boxes throwing the front of tho
car directly across the tracks ? tearing
them badly for a length of about 20
yards before the train wan stopped,
The accident taking pliice w.hete it did,
it made it impossible for the wreikint;
crew which soon reached . the scene, to
topple the car to one side -and clear the
tracks. Steep embankments along side
the tracks made this utterly impossible.
Anthracite m ners will wait until af
