What is the Graduates Obligation to
Society?
"The question now is, What are
you going to do?' What is your obli-
cation to society? Today l went
through your new high school build,
ing, one of the most magnificent and
best equipped in the entire state. So
ciety has taxed itself $55,O00 or $685.
900 to give this building to the junior
class, the sophomore class. the fresh
men class, and all the classes that are
to come. In return society demands
from you an equivalent for the
amount expended by 1t. You can't
pay it back in money, but you can
pay it back In reciprocal service to
that society which gave you this
building, this equipment, and the ex.
cellent teaching corps you have.

the graduates of high school or col

their communities. I want you to be
successful, but the great question is

What constitutes success" l want
to impress upon you one fundamental
duty you owe to yourself. There are
three things you will need, food to
eat, clothing to wear, and domicile,
or house to live in. After you have
provided yourselves with these neces-
stiles of life, then remember that
there are thousands of others who
have not been able to supply them
selves with them. Some are unbal'
anced in mind some are MANNED In
body, some are sick. We must care
for these before We indulge in luxur-
les for ourselves. This is one OF the
duties you owe to society.
Why Not Get Closer To Nature?
"In this country Of ours we have
had more of natures wealth and re-
sources than we needed, and we have
wasted hundreds Of millions Of dol
lars of natural wealth. If we main
tain the same rate Of increase in pop
ulation in the years to come as IN
years past, long before 1850 we will
have O,0o0, 900 people to feed, and
clothe, and care for and govern. Long
before the century ends We will have
400, 100000 people. We should re-
member it is to this future population
that we owe debt. even in our day.

this Murrell would have turned away,
but Slosson detained him.
Who'll he be?"
Some fellow who knows the river.
And If it's the light?" asked the
tavern-keeper In q hoarse undertone.
Again he looked toward Ware, who.
dry-lipped and ashen, was regarding
him steadfastly. Glance met glance,
for brief instant they looked into
each others eyes and then the hand

II don't know, Miss Betty, but the
Judge is always thinking of things to
do; seems like they was mostly things
no one else would ever think Of"
Betty had placed the candle on the
stool and seated herself on one of the
beds. There was the murmur OF
voices In the room below; she won
dered If her fate was under considera.
ton and what that fate was to be.
Hannibal, who had been examining
the window, returned to her side.
miss Betty, II we could just get
out of this loft We could steal their
skiff and row down to the river;
reckon they got just the one boat;
the only way they could get to us
would be to swim out, and II they
done that we could pound 'em over
the head with the oars-the least lit
tie thing sinks you when you're in
the water" But this murderous fancy
of his failed to interest Betty.
Presently they heard Sherrod and
Bunker come up from the shore with
George. Slosson joined them and
there was a brief discussion, then an
interval of silence, and the sound OF
voices again as the three white men
moved back across the field in the
direction of the bayou. There sue
ceeded a period of utter stiffness,
both in the cabin and in the clear
ing, somber hush that plunged Bet
ty yet deeper in despair. Wild
thoughts assailed her, thoughts against
which she struggled with all the
strength of her will.
In that hour of stress Hannibal was
sustained by his faith in the Judge.
He saw his patrons powerful and
picturesque intelligence applied to
solving the mystery OF their disap-
pearance from Belle Plain; it was in
conceivable that this could prove
otherwise than disastrous to Mr.. Slos-
son, and he endeavored to share the
confidence he was feeling with Betty,
but there was something SO forced
and unnatural in the girls voice and
manner when she discussed his con.
lectures that he quickly fell into an
awed silence. At last, and it must
have been some time after midnight,
troubled slumbers claimed him. No
moment of forgetfulness came to Bet
ty. She was waiting for what-she
did not know! The candle burnt low
er and lower and finally went out and
she was left in darkness, but again
she was conscious of sounds from the
room below. At first it was only a
word or sentence, then the guarded
speech became a steady monotone
that ran deep into the night. Even
tually this ceased and Betty fancied
she heard sobs. .sxx

genious mlnd, for she sensed some
thing Of that indomitable energy
which In the face OF rebuffs and
laughter carried him into the thick OF
every sensation. ia
At noe,D Mrs. Hicks, as sullen as In
the morning, brought them their din
ner. She had scarcely quilted the loft
when shrin whistle pierced the 81
lence that hung above the clearing.
It was twice repeated, and the two
women were heard to go from the
cabin. Perhaps half an hour elapsed,
then a step became audible on the
packed earth of the dooryard. Some
one entered the room below and be-
gan to ascend the narrow stairs, and
Bettys fingers closed convulsively
about Hanniba's. This was neither
Mrs. Hicks nor her daughter, nor
Slosson with his clumsy shuttle. There
was a brief pause when the landing
was reached, but it was only momen-
tary; a hand lifted the bar, the door
was thrown open, and it's space
framed the figure of man. 1t was
John Murrell.
Standing there he regarded Betty In
silence, but deep-seated fire glowed
in his sunken eyes. The sense OF pos:
session was raging through him, his
temples throbbed, fever stirred his
blood. Love, such as it was, he UNI
doubtedly felt for her, and even his
giant project, with all its monstrous
was lost sight Of for the
She was the inspiration for
it all, the goal and reward for which

Betty" the single word fell softly
from his lips. He stepped into the
room, closing the door as he did so.
The girls eyes were dilating with a
mute horror, for by some swift, in
tuitive process of the mind, which
asked nothing OF the logic of events,
but dealt only with conclusions, Muir
rell stood revealed as Norton's MUIR
derer. Perhaps he read her thoughts,
but he had lived in his degenerate
ambitions until the common judg-
ments or the understanding OF them
no longer existed for him. That Bet
ty had loved Norton seemed incense
quential even; 1t was memory to
be swept away by the force OF his
greater passion. So he watched her
smilingly, but back of the smile was
the menace of unleashed impulse.
Cant you find some word of well
come for me, Betty?" he asked at
length, still softly, still with some
thing of entreaty In his tone.
Then it was you-not Tom-who
had me brought here!" She could
have thanked God had it been Tom,
whose hate was not to be feared as
she feared this mans love.
"Tom-no!" and Murrell laughed.
"You didn't think I'd give you up? l

neck, and all for your sake-who'd

At length points of light began to
show through chinks in the logs. Han
nibal reused and sat up, rubbing his
eyes with the backs of his hands.
Wasn't you able to sleep none?" he
inquired. Betty shook her head. He
looked at her with an expression OF
troubled concern. How soon do you
reckon the Judge will know" he
asked.
VERY soon now, dear" Hannibal
was greatly consoled by this opinion.
Miss Betty, he will love to lind
US"
"Hark! What was that?" for Betty
had caught the distant splash of oars.
Hannibal found q chink in the logs
through which by dint of much squint-
ing he secured a partial view OF the
bayou.
They're fetching up a keel boat to
the shore, Miss Betty-it's a whoop-
err" he announced. Betty's heart
sank: she never doubted the purpose
for which that boat was brought into
the bayou, or that 1t nearly concerned
herself.
Half an hour later Mrs. Hicks ap-
peared with their. breakfast. 1t was
in vain that Betty attempted to en-
gage her in conversation. Either she
cherished some personal feeling OF
dislike for her prisoner, or else the
situation in which she herself was
placed had little to recommend It,
even to her dull mind, and her dis
satisfaction was expressed in her at
titude toward the girl.
Betty passed the long hours OF
morning in dreary speculation con-
corning what was happening at Belle
Plain. In the end she realized that
the day could 60 by and her absence
occasion no alarm. Steve might rea-
sonably suppose George had driven
her into Raleigh or to the Bowens'
and that she had kept the carriage.
Finally all her hope centered on Judge
Price. He would expect Hannibal dur
ing the morning; perhaps when the
boy did not arrive he would be tempt
ed to 60 out to Belle Plain to dis
cover the reason Of his non-appear.
