Il had long formed the idea that
Mrs. Field was actually Lota, just as
Field was the Atlantean. But SO many
lives had rolled between them since
that last passionate pledge was made,
to come, like all wishes, to it's ultimate
fruition-you know the text: Ask
and We shall receive'-I say, so many
lives had elapsed that the soul of each

tured New England girl was the
Priestess Lota. And this is the situa-
ton which 1 outlined to you this eve
ming at the beginning of our converse
ton. 1t was because it's citizens had
learned too many Of natures secrets
that Atlantis disappeared, tradition
tells US. If these two lovers had known
nothing of the truths of reincarnation,
far back in the days when Atlantis
stretched, a mighty continent, where
now the ocean rolls, they would never
have made that VOW which, by its very
nature, pledged itself to its own full
filment. Their souls would have
passed into the limbo of things, ready
to accept whatever was in store for
them in other births, and therefore
best. But they had flung their self
will into the teeth of eternity and had
thus come together, not with the free
dom of their new lives, but pledged
to fulfil a vow which no longer CORE
sponded to their needs.
There were obviously two courses
before me; either to recreate the At
lantean and the priestess, as well as it
could be done, or to plunge both back
into the fathomless depths of eternity,
where they should both have been.
The former course would, in this mod

ADHERED TO STRICT TRUTH
Parsons Remarks at Funeral Services
OF Departed Sinner Remarkable
for Diplomacy Displayed.

One Of the stories the late Judre
Brawley used to tell with gusto was
about the sermon OF old Parson Hinton
Of the Baptist church. at the funeral
OF miserable reprebate who had lived
within the bounds Of his congregation.
So far as the parson was advised. the
deceased person had violated all the
Commandments, -and then some" as
the saying goes, and the parson was
a truthful man and could not bear
the thought OF going through an idle
service. he thought that il would
be better On the whole to let the de-
parted go without making any fuss
about It; but he was finally persuaded,
out Of respect for the surviving fam
lily, composed or the best people in tho,
community, TO conduct religious sew
ices The caskef containing the body
OF the deceased was taken into the
parsons church and placed In front
OF the pulpit. There were the usual
eEnblems OF mourning and an atten-
i've congregation. After the singing
OF an Appropriate hymn and a sincere
prayer old Parson Hinton arose in
the pulpit and, touched by his sym
patty for the grief-strfcSen family,
broke the deep silence by saying: "our
brother who lies before as today had
sorae virtues, but they were mostly OF
a negative order" He had spoken the
truth, and with telling efsect.-wash-

him, told him that under no circum-

If, indeed, it could be undone. He as
scented and, placing him in hypnotic
sleep, recalled the sleeping giant to
the supraliminal world. Afterward
Field went away, and he wrote to me
week later saying that he was hard at
work on a new novel.

had occurred. Had Field broken down,
gone insane, left her? was sur
prised and relieved when discovered
that she wished to consult me about
herself.
"She had come to realize, she told
me, that in marrying Field she had un-
dertaken a responsibility for which she
ought to have fitted herself. Her hus-
band was a genius; he was largely
dominated by his imagination. To fit
herself for this responsibility she had
read his unpublished work, and the
horror Of the denouement had come
home to her so strongly that it had I'M

Of the book, and in her dreams she

such cases, just as we are killed or
murdered" asked Tarrant.
Because. my dear Tarrant, such
dreams always represent a memory"
answered Emmanuel, looking at him
fixedly. There is not one of US who,

Tarrant said nothing and Emmanuel,

though in waking life she was devoted
to her husband, In her sleep the image
of Field presented itself to her as q
jarring obstruction to her happiness.
He alone stood between her and her
happiness. And even after she awoke
this sentiment persisted for an hour
or two. Gradually her dreams were
coming to color her waking life, to
dominate it: she was growing to hate

MILLION DOLLAR
DOLL" AT SUGC

Next Monday evening at the Sugg
theater Manager Olive will play this
seasons latest musical comedy sue
cess, "The Million Dollar Doll"
The first object that gives distinc-
ton to this show is the perfection Of
its production. In every detail of the
stage arrangements, in the direction
that has been given to the principals
and the chorus in the character and
the prodigality of the costumes and in
the beauty and completeness of its
scenic accessories, it has the pronounc-
ed individuality of two-dollar show
Aside from the superb excellence of
the principals in their respective parts,
very much the best part of the show
is the musical numbers. These are
handsomely costumed and they reveal
refreshingly new novelties, all delight
fully melodious and of the snappy kind
of composition that keeps the feet
moving to its rythm.
The cast includes such we'll known
faces as "Marigold Gano," caroline

A Dogs Devotion.
Lumberton Robesonian.

Lumberton RobeSonian.
Perhaps never was a true de-
votion more beautifully shown
than in dog story which comes
from Red Springs. The story
follows:
Messrs. James Collins and Jim
Townsend, both of Red Springs,
had bird dog each and the two
dogs hunted together and were
together when they were not
hunting. On the 11th instant.
the two dogs disappeared and
the owners could not account
for it. Eleven days passed and
nothing was heard from the
dogs. On the 21st inst. DR.. H.
III. Hodgin, of Red Springs. was
out hunting and found the two
dogs about one mile from Red
Springs. The dog belonging to
eMr. Collins had become tangled
In some vines and could not get
loose and had died. The other
dog was lying right by his friend
the dead dog-and from all
appearances had not left him
from the time he was first
caught in the vines. MIR. Town
sends dog was so weary from
hunger and thirst that he could
scarcely walk when DR.. Hodgin
found him. No doubt had the
discovery not been made when
1t was, or very soon afterwards,
the other dog would have died
by the side OF his dog friend.

First Collision With Submarine
WIN Mean War

Washington, March 9.-Arm-
ed neutrality will be the status
of the United States the moment
that the first merchant ship un,
der the American flag puts to
sea with cannon mounted for
defense.
President Wilson made this
clear in his address to Congress
February 26, when he asked
specific authority to arm mer-
chant ships for defense against
submarines, the steps he ordered
today upon his own responsible
ity.
Writers on international law
have held that armed neutrality
consists in placing the country
in position to defend itself and
its neutrality against threatened
attacks or inroads by belliger-
ents. This state of preparedness
may last an indefinite, length of
time, through good fortune in
avoiding contact with belliger-
eDt forces afloat or ashore, or
through the design of the bellig-
erent to confine its declaration
OF purpose to infringe the neu.
trality of a country to mere
threats unsupported bv action.
On the other hand, the status
of armed neutrality may change
into one of actual hostility
through a collision-such as a
submarine attack on armed mer-
chantmen.
President Wilson has said that
it may not be necessary to put
armed forces anywhere into ac-
ton. All will depend upon the
future attitude of Germany and
the treatment of American ships
by German submarine COM
manders. z ~ ~
