Thm Capuleta and Montagues, mighty families of Verona, are MMUy enemies, ttomeo, son oj the House of Montagues, fails in love with Juliet, daughter of the Capuleta. They marry in secret. The afternoon of their icedding day, Romeo meets Tybalt, Julie fs cousin, and leader of the Capulet henchmen. Tybalt tries to force a duel upon Borneo who will have none of it because of his marriage to Juliet; Tybalt is now his kinsman as well as hers. The latter then turns to duel with Mercutio, friend of Borneo,' and kills him. Borneo avenges Mercutio's death by duelling Ty- bolt whom he kills. The Prince of Verona banishes Romeo, exil ing him forever from the city. THE FAREWELL Chapter Eight SULIET leaned against the open balcony window of her bedchamber and looked out Into the twilight "Come, gentle night," ehe pleaded. "Come, loving, Mack-brow'd night Give me my Romeo." Bow long the hours seemed since she and he had knelt in marriage. Her nurse burst tn upon her, vweeplng and wringing her hands. Juliet wheeled about In fright ""What news, nurse," she cried, "that Vtnou dost wring thy hands," Ah, well dayl" wept nurse. "He' dead. He's dead. He's dead." Juliet's face grew ashen white. "We are undone, lady," sobbed the nurse. The girl seized her shoulder and shook her violently. Why were they undone? Who was dead? .What had happened? "Tybalt Is gone " began the -nurse. At the mention of Tybalt's name Juliet almost fainted with relief. What ever had happened ha.l over taken Tybalt but at tfci next words her eyes grew wide wiu: hor ror "... and Romeo banished," sob bed the nurse. "Romeo that killed him he is banished." Juliet felt the room sway before her, "O God!" she moaned. "Did Romeo's hand shed Tybalt's blood?" "It did. Alas the day; it did. There's no trust, no faith, no hon esty in Romeo. Shame ' come to .Romeo." "Blistered be thy tongue for such a wish," cried Juliet fiercely. "Will you speak well of-him that killed your cousin?" demanded. the other. "Shall I speak 111 of him that 13 my husband? Ah, poor my Lord. That 'bantehed' that one word 'banished' hath slain ten thou sand Tybalts. 'Romeo is banished. To speali the word. Is father, mother, Tybalt, Romeo, Juliet, all slain. All dead." She threw herself upon the bed and wept with such abandon that the nurse, frightened, ran to find Friar Laurence. Now was the time erhen the churchly man alone might 4elp. In Friar Laurence cell lay Ro meo, desperate with grief and anxiety. "Hence from Verona art thou banished," said the Friar gravely. Romeo beat his hands in despair. "Be patient," soothed the Friar. "The world is broad and wide." There is no world without Ve rona's walls," answered Romeo. "Only purgatory, torture and hell Itself." "But this 13 dear mercy," ex claimed hl3 confessor, "and thou lee'st it not" "Tis torture and not mercy!" cried Romeo. "Heaven is where Juliet-lives, and every cat and dog and little mouse! every unworthy thing that live here in heaven may look on her, but Romeo may not!" He stared about him desperately. "Hadst thou no poison mixed," he begged. "No sharp-ground knife, no sudden means of death to kill. me?" ' "Art thou a man?" demanded Laurence. "Thy wlldacts denote the unreasonable fury of a beast! -Thou amaze mer By , my holy order I thought thy disposition better tem perU Hast thou slain .Tybalt?. Wilt thou slay thyself?

At Mantua thou shalt live until we find time to Maae your mar riage; to reconcile friends; to beg pardon of the prince, and call thee back with twenty thousand tlmea more joy than thou went'st forth in lamentation!" A dawn of hope lighted Borneo's face. "Go hence," continued the Friar, "but," be warned, "be gone by break of day. Sojourn in Man tua. I'U find out your man, and be shall signify from time to time every good hap to you that chances here. Give me thy hand, farewell." Romeo aped through the darkness to Juliet's garden. By a rope ladder hung therefrom he ascended the balcony and called to her. She raised her weeping face from the bed and listened, with a cry she arose and ran to meet him. They held each other close, and then, with a long drawn sigh, she led the way Into her chamber. And the hours which had made the day too long, now sped on wings. Too soon the early morning light filtered through the drawn curtains. Romeo knew he must obey the Friar's warning or all would be lost Tenderly he released him self from Juliet's embrace. "And wilt thou be gone?" she asked. "It is not yet near day." A bird sang outside her window. "It was the nightingale." she pleaded "and not the lark that pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear. Believe me love. It was the nightingale." Romeo kissed her sadly. "It was the lark. The herald of the morn; no nightingale." He threw onen tha window. "Look, love, what envi ous streaks do lace the severing clouds In yonder east. Night's candles are burnt out and Jocund day stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops." He turn ed to her in all. tenderness. "I must be gone and live," he whispered. "Or. stay and die." ..... ... She threw her arms about him. "Ton : light is not daylight," she pleaded, "t know it I " she . faltered as her eyes filled with tears. "It U 3ocae meteor that the sun exhales." she went on hurried- iy. "3ome meteor to be to thee this night a torch-bearar and light thee on thy way to llr.ntua." She held him close. "Stay ye .. Thou need'Bt . not be gone." He kiasod her. "I am content," ha whispered. 'So thpu.wiljt have jt jjpt . I'll say yon grey is not the morn- , ing's eye; nor that Is notithe lark',, whose no.es do beat the vaulty heaven so high above our heads." He lifted her face to his. "I have ' more care to stay than will to go," ." he cried. "Come death, and wel- ' come!" "It Is the day," she wept and shuddered In his arms. "Hie hence; bo gone. It U the1 lark 'that sings so out of time. O now be go.io. ' ho looked fearfully out ho window. "More light and light it grows! ' "Madame!" called her nurse soft ly through the door. "Your lady mother is coming to your chamber. The day is broke. Be wary." The lovers clasped each other In a last embrace. "Window," cried Juliet, "let day In and let life out." "Farewell, farewell," murmured Romeo and kissed her long. With arms entwined they walked out onto the balcony. And then quickly, as if to tear himself away before the ' pain became too great, he seized the ladder ana oegan his descent "Art thou gone so?" Juliet cried. "Love, lord ay husband, friend!" Her tears fell fast "I must hear from thee every day in the hour," she begged. An a minute were are many days O, by this count I shall be much In years ere I again behold my Romeo!" She leaned far out over the ' balcony to see him more. U, tninK at inou we snan ever meet again?" she walled. "I doubt It not," he comforted. - "All these woes shall serve for bweet discourses ' in our time to come." He tried to smile. "Dry sor row drinks our blood. Adieu. Adieu." He turned quickly and spea to the garden wall. "Oh fortune, fortune," she wept "Alt men call thee fickle. Be fickle fortune. For then, i hope, thou wilt not keep turn long, but send him , back." v .;v. ;V ; . V. She watched Romeo disappear over the wait He was gone now."

"That is Miss Pique", answered Mr." Ruten berg. ."And", he volunteered, "she is a very. fine young woman", "Pique?" questioned a woman standing near. "I didn't know that was her name."

"No"," explained -Mr. ' Rutenberg, "Miss Pique, is the young'' lady who has charge of the vacation Bible School around at the Baptist Church." - "Well", remarked the questioner, "that certainly does not sound like the name I -read in the Perquimans Weekly, which carried some stories about the young lady's work Miss Poplin was the name." There was a general laugh as Mr. Rutenberg, somewhat chagrinned, admitted the name was Poplin and not Pique'.

Whether or not there is any truth in the statement that the new benches recently placed under the shady elms on the courthouse green have been so tempting that the fact is demoralizing, I do not attempt to say, but rumor has it that the Loaf ers have challenged the Workers for a soft ball game to be played on the town lot which was recently equipped with flood lights by the town for night playing, and that it hasn't been possible to arrange a game as yet because not enough workers can be found to make up the ten-man team.
