CHAPTER V.

Beginning with the awful moment when she first realized her danger and the necessity for immediate flight, she lived over every perilous instant. her | nerves straiBing. her breath bated as If she were experiencing ii all oncN more The horror of it! Her own hopeless, helpless condition! But final ly, because her trouble was new and her body and mind, though worn with excitement. were healthy and young. she sank into a deep sleep. without having decided at all what she should do.
 At last she woke from a terrible dream, in which the hand of her pur- suer was upon her, and her preserver was in the dark distance. With that strange insistence which torments the victim Of such dreams. she was obliged to lie still and imagine it out. again and again. until the face and voice of the young man grew very real in the darkness, and she ionged inexpressibly for the comfort of his presence once more.
 At length she shook off the pursuing thoughts and deliberately reused her self to plan her future.
 The first necessity, she decided. was to change her appearance go far as possible, so that if news of her escape. with full description, had been teie- Ngraphed, she might evade notice. To that end. she arose in the early dawn ing of gray and misty morning, and arranged her hair as she had never worn it before, in two braids and wound closely about her head. She pinned up her gown until it did not show below the long black cos and folded a white linen handkerchief about her throat over the delicate lace and garniture of the modi1h waist Then she looked dubiously at the hat.
 With a girls instinct. her first thought was for her borrowed lumage. 4 fine mist was slantin. down and had fretted the window pane until there was notking visible but dull gray shadows of the world that flew mo- notonously by. With sudden reaem- brance. she opened the suitcase and took out the folded black hat, shook it into shape, and put it on. IL was

T cannot help feeling that ought to take care of you" he said.
 "But I cannot permit it." she said firmly, lifting her trustful eyes to smile at him.
 will you promise to let me know if you need anything?"
 No. I'm afraid I cannot promise even that" she answered, because. while you have been 6 true friend to me. the immediate and awful necessity is. hope, past"
 You will at least take this" he said, drawing from his pocket an incon- spicuous purse of beautiful leather, and putting into it all the money his pockets contained -I saw you had no pocketbook." he went on, and ven tured to get this one in the drug store below the station Win you accept it from me? have your ring, you know, and when you take the ring back you may, if you wish, return the purse wish 1t were better one, but it was the most decent one they had You will need it to carry your ticket And 1 have put in the change. It would not do for you to be entirely without money. I'm sorry it isn't more There are only nine dollars and seventy-ffv cents left. Do you think that will see you through? If there had been any place down town here where I could cash a check at this time of might, | should have made it more''
 Thank you so much I shall return the price of the ticket and this money as soon as possible said the girl earnestly.
 He suddenly became aware that the train was whistling and that the con ductor was motioning him to go.
 But you have not told me your name" he cried in dismay.
 "You have named me" she an- ewered, smiling ~I am Mary Reming- ton'
 But that is not your real name"
 You may call me Mary if you like" she said. Now go. please, quick! I'm afraid you'll get hurt"
 You will remember that I am your friend?"
 Yes, thank you. Hurry, pleaset"
 The train paused long enough for him to step in front of her window and wave his hat in salute Then she passed on into the night, and only two twinkling lights, like diminishing red berries, marked the progress of the train until it disappeared in the cut Nothing was left but the hollow echoes of its going, which the hills gave back.

 mannish, of course, but giris o.,eu wore such hats.
 As she surveyed herseE in the long mirror of her door. the slow color stole into her cheeks. Yet the costume was not unbeeoming, nor unusual. She looked like a simple school girl. or a young business woman going to her days work.
 But she looked at the fashionable proportions of the other hat with some thing like alarm. How could she pro tect it? Sine did not for moment think of abandoning 1t. for it was her earnest desire to return it at once. unharmed, to its kind purloiner.
 She summoned the newsboy and pur- chased three thick newspapers. From these, with the aid of few pins. she made a large package of the hat She decided to go bareaeaded, and put the white kid gloves iu the suitcase but she took off her beautiful rings, and hid them safely inside her dress.
 She sacrificed one of her precious quarters to get rid of the attentive DOT ter, and started of with a brisk step down the long platform to the station. She followed group of people into a ear. which presently brought her into the neighborhood C. the large stores, as she had hoped il would. IL was with relief that she recognized the name on one of the stores as being of worldwide reputation.
 We'll for her that she was an expert. enced shopp--. She went straight to the millinery department and arranged to have the hat boxed and sent to the address Dunham had given her.
 It had cost less to express the hat than she had feared. yet her stock of money was woefully small Some kind of a dress she must have, and wrap. that she might be disguised, but what could she buy and yet have something left for food? Lifting her eyes. she saw a sign over table" Linene Skirts, 75 cents and $100.'
 Here was ray of hope. She turned eagerly to examine them. Piles of somber skirts, blue and black and tan. They were stout and coarse and seant, and not of the latest cut, but what mat tered it? She decided on a seventy. five cent black one.
 Growing wise with experience, she discovered that she could get black sate-en shirtwaist for fifty cents. Rub bers and cotton umbrella took an other dollar and a half She must save at least a dollar to send back the suit Fc-sse by express.
 hargain-table of odds and ends of mcollen jackets, golf vests, and old tashioned blouse sweaters, selling off ,at dollar apiece, solved the prob lem of wrap. She selected d dark blouse, of an ugly. purply blue. but thick and warm. Then with her pre- eious packages she asked pleasant. faced saleswoman if there were any place near where she could slip on a walking skirt she had just bought to save her other skirt from the muddy streets She was ushered into . little fitting g-Tpom near by.

Mrs. George A. Pittman.

The subject of this sketch was
born near Halifax, January 9, 1912,
and so was nearing her seventy-sec-
ond year when she died Sunday
night, September %, 1913, at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. C. L..
Allsbrook.
Before her marriage to Mr.. Geo.
A .Pittman nearly fifty years ago.
she was Miss Annie Priscilla Bur-
CESS, daughter of VIM. and Mary
Burgess.
She had one sister and one brother,
Mr.. T. C. Burgess of Rocky Mount.
The sister, twin sister, preceded
her to the better land.
In her girihood days she heard the
call of God and gave herself to Him,
and in a quiet and unassuming way
she tried to serve Him. For more
than fifty years she was a member
of the Methodist church.
Mrs. Pittman was the true and de-
voted mother of nine children, seven
of whom lived to manhood and wo-
manhood. Six of these are now liv-
ing viz.-R. w. Pittman, G. A. Pitt
man and Mrs. C. NJ. Pemberton of
Rocky Mount. Mrs. C. L. Allsbrook
of Scotland Neck, and Mrs. j. r..
Burt and Horace M. Pittman, who
live near Halifax. Mrs. W. E..
Bishop another daughter died few
years ago.
Since her husbands death, sew
eral years ago in Scotland Neck, she
has made her home with her young
est son, Mr. Horace M. Pittman, at
her old home place near Halifax.
For many years she has been in
declining health but was a patient
sufferer through all her illness.
She realized that the end was
near and told her loved ones that
all was we'll and that she did not
fear to go and so Sunday night she
fell asleep to wake on the other side,
free from weakness and suffering.
Her remains were carried to
Whitakers Chapel, her old home
church, and there in the presence of
her brother, all her children, other
loved ones and friends she was
buried by the side of her husband.
May Gods rich and comforting
grace sustain and strengthen all the
sorrowing ones and keep them to
the end.

ferent characters.

was accepted with pleasure.
