By REGINALD D. HAVEN '
Relatives in New Bern received
message yesterday morning stating

known through Eastern North Caro-

He had been in declining health
for the past six months, "but had never
been unable to attend to his business.
Although not in the best of health
for the past six months, he was in
seemingly good spirits at supper.
About 9:30 o'clock he made prepara
tions to retire, and not the slightest
signs of any trouble were shown. He
was seated on his bed and had start
ed to unlace his shoes when he fell
across the bed and expired before
Mrs. Hill reached his side.
Mrs1: Hill was a brother of Mrs.
E.'T. Wood of this city and an uncle of
Mrs. E. E. Harper and Don Wood.

Billy Biggs and ,1, being in Paris
when- the warm season" 'was coming
on, thought we would go. to Switzer
land. : We had both been In Europe
several years studying languages and
were well equipped with both French
and German. ; So we ' concluded : to
tramp about, mingling with the people,
and 9ot give away the fact that .we
were i Americans. ,"We went to Inter-
laben by train and from there laid out
pedestrian tours. r
f. One ot the first we made was to
Grindelwald and thence up the side of
the mountain to Scheidegg. There we
got a good dinner, after which we
walked up a short distance to a point
where we could see the glacier. It
was very wild and magnificent and all
that, but seeing such sights is not
what I am going to tell you about In
the afternoon we walked down the
mountain to Lauterbrunnen and short
ly before we reached that place .came
up with a couple of Swiss girls dressed
In the costume of the country.
It occurred to both Billy and me that
if we could walk the rest of the way
with two pretty girls no girl could be
homely in the Swiss costume It would
be away ahead of trudging alone by
our own uninteresting selves. As we
passed them I bowed very politely,
took off my enp and, pointing to
mountain whose name I knew as well
as my own, asked In German the lan
guage mostly spoken in this part of
Switzerland what It was.
"That's the Eigcr," replied one of the
girls.
I boldly expatiated on the beauty of
the scenery, envied those who lived
always in the. Alps, and as soon as 1
ran out of something to say Billy took
ud the dialogue. The Kirls did not
seem averse to forming our acquaint
ance, and it was not long before we
separated them, Billy walking beside
one, I beside the other. We both pre
tended to be Germans of the lower
class, though not Swiss. I got in as
many nice things to my girl as I could
think of, and she being to the country
born and unsophisticated I didn't hesi
tate to lay it on thick. Every now and
. again I could hear Billy, who was
Walking with the other girl only a few
yards ahead of me, doing the same
thing.
When we reached Lauterbrunnen
the girls bid us goodby, saying that
they lived in a'chalet beyond the town.
We were near a refreshment house
standing beside the road, and I invit
ed them to go up on to the porch for
a cheese sandwich and a glass of the
beer they drink over there, which is so
. droadfully mild that it wouldn't intox
icate a mouse. 'After a consultation
apart from us they said they wouldn't
mind being refreshed after a long
walk, and we all four went up on to
"the porch, took a table and called for
the" beer and sandwiches.
Billy was- talking glibly about our
life on the farm at home when one of
the girls said:
"You are not u farmer: neither Is lie.
You ure both gentlemen."
I looked at Billy, and Billy looked
at me.
"How did vou find that out?" I
asked.
"We have so many tourists about us
all the time that we could tell their
nationality no matter what disguise
they might put on. You are not Ger
man either, pou t you suppose we
cad tell a German from a Frenchman
or an .Englishman?"
"What nationality are we?" Billy
asked..
'"You wear French clothes, but you
are not French. You are either Eng
lish or American. 1 think you are
American."
1'By Jove, Billy," I exclaimed in the
plain American language, "they're
smarter than I thought they were!"
The girls were very much .tickled
that they had been able to tell our na
tionality. They asked us -to teach
them a little English. So I told the
one-1 had walked with to pronounce
the words "I love you." She spoke
them, "I lof e you," and asked me to
translate tbem into German, but there
was a look in her eye that made me
suspect that she already had an idea
as to their meaning. I told her they
meant "Thank you."
Meanwhile Billy was amusing him
self by telling the girl to say "Kiss
me," telling her the words meant
"Good morning." Billy and I kept
looking at each other, laughing over
the fun we were having, and by and
by the girls said they must go on home.
We 'asked, permission to attend them,
but they declined. : At parting one of
them said:
"We thank you for your kindness,
gentlemen, i Though we are only poor
Swiss farmers' daughters, we seem to
have amused you." '
"Toe thanks are due to you," l re
plied, ''since you have given us a very
pleasant hour." ', .
"Don't you thlnfc,j said Billy, "that
there was some shenanigan , about
those' girls?" ...
"What do you meon?"
. "Seems to me they know more than
we think they do. ' ' ' -
A week later we were in the casino
at Lucerne when I heard a woman's
Voice behind me g nking with the
real American acceu.. V '
- "Foe heaven's sake. Jjile, . where
Save you been all this time? - I've
been looking for you everywhere."
I turned, and there stood pur Swiss
peasant girls. , , . 1
.' "Stung!" cried Billy, and the glrli
buret into a laugh. '
