But certainly it is a challenge, and it shames into in significance the things we daily view as weighty troubles. Dozens of true .stories, purely of the coastland have been told me that outrank by far the most amaz ing things in modern fiction. I of ten think of the story told me about old Aunt Mary. The man who told me the story has passed on. The village in which he once lived re mains no more, for time and tide and the shifting of the Coast Guards and the shifting of the dunes have ended it. The altars of its people are no more and the resting places of its dead have dis appeared. But a lar^e crowd, the largest ever, had 'gathered to do final honors for old Aunt Mary, the angel of mercy whose life of help and sacrifice along the coast had been an epic of her times. Aunt Mary too, had come to the coast- land a stranger. . Years and years before she died, a substantial citizen of the coast- land had sent his two sons away to college. One ran away and went to sea. He led a wild and reckless life. His parents never .heard from him for years. He married a girl in a distant city and then left her, deserted with a child. The luckless ■wife, half starved and half crazed over the final loss of her baby, and too jproud to send word home, drift ed into a brothel and later into a mission. The studious brother completed his education. He went to a big city and worked in a bank. He be came a steady, straightlaced brought her to the .coastland. And on this visit, while she too, fell in love with the coastland, the erring tudes .of marriage and motherhood, and the discouragements of those ■who might have helped her, pre craft, but none came to help. I talked to that man next THE MOTORIST PAYS (Oxford Ledger) Coleman W..

Her world of happiness began to crash upon her head. Of course it had all seemed too good to be true. But with never a sign of recognition, the prodigal finished in silence and he did the only white thing he had ever done—he left the coastland that day and never returned. But the young bride remained and became old Aunt Mary, the ministering ajwtel to those who her own. Again, if one would dwell upon the morbid things that come of cruel and bitter tricks of fate', con sider the tragic end of the towboat romance.

He took a solemn oath never to return because his father had accused him of taking a gold piece. I havte often wished, and have often tried to help, that I might find him and bring him back to Hatteras. In a lonely community lives Miss Sue, a helpless woman reduced to penury. Age is coming upon her, but she never loses her dream of the wealth that is rightfully hers, beyond the sea, at the ancestral home of her father. It is now en joyed by those who have no just claim to it, while she, the rightful owner, is here in need. Years and years ago, the prodigal son left a cruel stepmother and ran away, leaving his father and his fortune. He came to the North Carolina coastland and married,—and he interested her, yet was old enough to be her father.
