he lived with the splendid air of plen-

it required tact, patience and per-

him; and his creditors, of whom there

He explained to Yancy that too great
certainty detracted from the charm of
living, for, after all, life was a game
gamble-he desired to be reminded
of this. Yet he was held in great re.

which was no more questioned than
his courage.

Chapter xxxW (continued.)

Betty Malroy and Darlington had
ridden into Raleigh to take leave OF
their friends. They had watched the
stage from sight, had answered the
last majestic salute the judge had CIV
en- them across the swaying top OF
the coach before the first turn Of the
road hid it from sight and then they
had turned their horses heads in the
direction of Belle Plain.
Bruce, do you think Judge Price
will ever be able to accomplish all he
hopes to-" Betty asked when they
had left the town behind. She drew
in her horse as she spoke, and they
went forward at a walk under the
splendid arch of the forest and over a
carpet of vivid leaves

ed Darlington. Unfavorable as had
been his original estimate Of the
judges character, events had greatly
modified it.
He really seems quite sure, doesn't
he?" said Betty
There's not a doubt in his mind"
He was still at Belle Plain, living
in what had been Wares office, while
the Cavendishes were domiciled at
the big house. He had arranged with
the Judge to crop part of that hope
full gentleman's land the very next
season; the fact that lawsuit inter-
vened between the Judge and posses
sion seemed a tritling matter, for Car
rington had become infected with the
judges point OF view, which did not
admit Of the possibility of failure; but
he had not yet told Betty of his plans.
Time enough for that when he left
Belle Plain.
His silence concerning the future
had caused Betty much thought She
wondered if he still intended going
south into the Purchase; she was not
sure but it was the dignified thing for
him to do She was thinking of this
now as they went forward over the
rustling leaves, and at length she

Ancients Did

We think that we are living in the greatest and most progress sive age the world has ever known, and that because we have all the wonders in our every day life that followed upon the discovery of electricity, and because we have ships of steel instead of wood, we outclass the highest civilization of the an- cients before the dark ages came and buried their treasures of knowledge and invention.
 We do not know what we are talking about when we say that Take our steel, for instapcee Various processes have been in- vented the past 20 years which make the world of today hold up it's hands in wonder at the ingenuity of the man of the hour, and the marvels he is able to accomplish. Yet our very best steel does not approach the perfection of that made by the the Saracens hundreds of years ago. A sword made of their famous steel cut through one made of the best steel knowd to- day, as if it were butter. !
 Our modern ink fades out with in five or 10 years. yet writing in the ink made hundreds of years ago and used by the monks in the famous manuscripts now treasured in museums, is just as fresh as when it first touched the parchment. We have lost, also, the secret of the oldtime oriental dyes that hold their colors even after having been buried for generations.
 With all our wonderful sky- scrapers, we still cannot build like the ancients. Our IA and 26-story building, ever though successfully reared by the per- lection of skill known to the. twentieth century. will neverthe- less not be able to stand the test of centuries that have proved

THE REPORTERS CONFIDENCE

One of the moot points in Journal

question of the inviolability of con-

1t has been shown repeatedly that as
a class the newspaper reporter is 10
be trusted almost implicitly. When
he gives his word, he keeps it. Many
have tried to make him betray his
cenfidant to their sorrow. A news
dispatch says:
Milwaukee, Wis, May 2S.-The
question whether a newspaper re-
porter can be required to reveal
under, oath the source of informa-
ton on which he bases a news
paper article came up before
Judge Turner yesterday. Judge
Turner ruled in effect that a.
newspaper mans confidence is
inviolable.
John Killilea, who had caused
reporter to come into Circuit
Court, requested the court to re-
auire reporter on oath to re-
veal the names of the persons
| from whom he had obtained in
| formation which was used in a
news article. Killilea said the
| publication of the article during
| the tendency of the case tended to
| prejudice the jury and that state
| ments made in the review of the
| history of the condemnation pro-
| ceedings were incorrect and evil
IDENTIFY supplied to the reporter by
| persons interested in the case.
Judge Turner decided that he
had no power to require the re-
| porter to be sworn or examined
unless the reporter volunteered.

and trust is as dear to the newspap
