Latent Passions.

The three years which had elapsed
had made a vast change in the rcla-
tons between the man and the woman.
In the beginning and for a long time
hers had been the dominant position,
SO absolutely bad she ruled that to
him she had been as god. So en-
tlrely had he obcycd her that TO her he
had been devotcc. Once she dlscov-
cred his ductility and had begun to
teach him, the relationships had com
mcnccd to change Gradually each had
recognized the humanity of tho other.
Together students they had naturally
approached Il common level. Every
new knowledge she impaired to him
was an abdication of some of her su-
Prcmacy. Every new knowledge he
acquired was an aspiration to her high
level
Three years is a short time i'm the
cduca tional life of human being,
but she brought to her side of what
was slowly developing into an euua
tlon the highest training, natural
ability to impart what she knew, an
absolute devotion TO the cndeavor and
an entire freedom from other interests.

foam was close Mt hand. For one sec
ond she threw out her arms and the
next moment, with n crash which she
could feel if not hear, the boat beneath
her feet was lifted up and hurled on
something fearfully solid She was
thrown through the air like a bolt from
n catapult. A wave struck her in the
back and beat her almost INTO insensi-
bllity. She was tossed and driven half
unconscious over a space Of shallow
water and rolling sea upon sandy
shore. Some instinct of life gavc her
motion. Blindly she crawlcd on. The
waves seemed suddenly TO have lost
their power, She did not know that
she had been thrown past u barrier reef
and carried over lagoon and dropped
on a sea beach; that only the most un-
usual and gigantic waves could reach
her, but she knew that they had little
power to harm her. And so she crept
desperately and doggedly on until she
fell forward in the warm sand and
lapsed into absolute and total uncon-

IN that way. Whatever she taught him,

mastered inspired him to learn more.
li1s mncmouic ability was prodigious;
for all the years Of his life he had
not been storing up the insignificant,
the material. the unnecessary in his
brain cells. He remembered all that

mentality which had known nothing
and upon which she wrote what she
pleased. To the Judgment of man

caution to wind Just before she re-

CLOCK in the morning. She had
slept unbrokenly since ii clock The
morning before. Her sleep had been n
stupor of utter and complete exhaus'

cal strain of keeping awake and at,
tending to the duty to which she had
enforced herself had been the further
strain of the terrible events on the
night in which she left the yacht, and
ihe apprehension of pursuit which had

motion, indeed, was to rise TO her feet

nothing. She was still alone. Neither

her Of more than that and the extent

cogitations. She fought it down and
drove it away, but it came back again

and her charm, he had assumed,
whether deliberately or otherwise, vir-
tues that he did not possess, opinions
which he did cot believe. He had no
illusions about the matter and had
not been dereft of single hope or
aspiration. And yet she was woman
enough, while she ragged at the thought
of his possession of her, to realize
that his failure to hold her might

Raleigh Evening Times.
The late Vice Admiral Cervera, who
died April 3rd, could not have re-
ceived more fattering tributes from
the American press had he been a vic
torious American admiral instead OF
defeated foe, and the tributes that
have been given this distinguished
Spaniard could not have been more
sincere had he led an American feet
to victory instead of a foreign feet
against America, but to destruction.
The death Of no foreigner, friend or
enemy, it seems. could have touched
the American heart so deeply. Since
ill-fortune befell him at Santiago the
American people have had a kindly
interest in him which has never waned.
Misfortunes overlook him in his old
age, but his misfOrtunes only in
creased the kindly interest that
Americans felt in him. He was brave,
generous, end chivalrous, and these
qualities always appeal to the Ameri-
can people as a whole, even though
they are accused of being sordid and
having little time for anything but
business affairs He proved his gen.
erosity when Hobson fell into his
hands after the Merrimac affair, not
only by his kindly treatment of his
prisoner, but by taking pains to
notify the American fleet of the safety
of Hobson and his men and he proved
his bravery by sailing out of Santi-
ago harbor to fight, for a fight was
inevitable, once he emerged, a force
SO much superior to his that he could
not but know that certain destruc-
ton of his feet and probably death
for himself and all his men awaited
him. In the face of the odds he made
the attempt to fight his way out, his
ships were destroyed and he himself
was captured. AS a prisoner OF war
at Annapolis he so lived and con-

His last years were not pleasant.
There was even talk of courtmar-

held in high regard by his former en-

"Scintillating" Charlotte.

Charlotte News.
No use arguing further. The editor
of the esteemed Durham Sun takes
the prize. Most of the newspapers
have had complimentary things to
LAY of the Queen City, but the eulo-
gums of all Others compare with this
rhapsody of the Sun as Hypesion to
a Satyr, or words to that effect.
Especially, because of the jealousy
it will incite, wecall special attention
of the Columbia and Charleston pa
pers to this sweet savored package
from the Sun:
Charlotte lays upon the bosom of
North Carolina like a brilliant dia-
mond brooch. She is the admired OF
all admirers. She will soon sparkle
and scintillate with a brilliancy that
will eclipse all other places. for the
time being. She is to have President
Taft to visit her on the Goth OF May,
and on that occasion Charlotte will
exercise all OF the loneliness OF a beau
tiful Miss in the presence of her
chosen admirer. Great is Charlotte,
and great it is to have a President
as her guest for few days. We make

Have a Bank Account.

The following which comes from the
Abbeville IS. c. Press, ia good ad-
vice and ought to be passed along
1t relates to the virtue of saving
money through a bank account. We
commend it to GOLD LEAF readers as
worth acting upon. The Press SAYS:
Every man who has a surplus
dollar should deposit it in one of the
banks. Start bank account, no mat
ter how small it may be. and you
will feel better and you will be richer
The banks are glad to have even the
smallest deposits. They pay interest
and you, the farmer, who have moth
ing to do but to watch the crop
grow, will be kept busy seeing your
bank account grow. Money on de-
posit is the safest investment that
can be made. All the stock of the
bank. and every stockhOlder is per-
sonallv liable for it. The main thing
for you to do is to make the deposits
and take the proper receipts for it,
then your baggage is checked for a
higher and better financial standing
To have bank account on the right
side of the ledger is the best thing on
this earth-except a good wife, which
this editor has. up to this time, been
unable to get" ...
This advice, it will be seen, is ap-
piled particularly to the farmers, but
is good for the general public as we'll.
One good result of a bank account is
that the person who once starts one
has an incentive to see it grow. And
in consequence he treasures up many
a dollar that would otherwise have
been wasted.

Southport as Coaling Station.
Wilmington Sar.

Wilmington Sar.
Wilmington's and Southport's
good friend, the Charlotte. Chronicle,
in a recent issue contained this edi-
tOrial on the prospect of that pretty
little town at the mouth of the Cape
Fear becoming an important coaling
station in the near future:
"The News and Courier wants u 30
foot channel for the port of Charles
ton. This reminds us that as ar
rangements have been undoubtedly
made to do a coaling business at
Southport, that harbor should be
given a 3O-foot channel with as little
delay as possible, the work of deep
ening the river channel to Whining
ton to be carried on later. South
port has deep harbor and very lit
tie dredging would be necessary on
the bar to give it 3O-foot entrance.
1t is on the programme of the Caro-
lima, Clinchtield & Ohio and the Sea-
board Air Line Roads to parallel the
river from Wilmington to Southport
with a railroad line and to build eX-
tensive docks and piers there for
handling the coal traffic That would
make Southport the most important
coaling station on the Atlantic coast
and would be accuse of vast increase
in the shipping interests of Whining
ton. Southport has long waited for
this development, but is at last in
sight. 1t is going TO mean wonders
for that port
We believe Southport will have her
day yet. She has had many disap-
pointments. Time and again she has
seen her "fondest hopes decay just
when>the realization of them seemed
within her grasp. But she should not
lose courage The day is coming, and
it is not SO farm the future, when she
will be the terminus of a railroad
over which thousands of tons of coal
will be hauled to her piers to be
loaded on big steamers of heavy
draft which will easily pass into and
out of her capacious harbor over a
bar at the mouth of the river show
ing thirty and more feet of depth OF
