NORTH CAROLINA Is PATRIOTIC.

President Wilson and governors all
over the country issued ploc1amations
designating Wednesday, the Oath of
October, as Liberty Bond Day and the
people of this state submitted to the
test without a murmur. This, of
course. was expected of the average
Tar Heel citizen.
The people of North Carolina have
never failed to tread the path of duty
open to them. To each and every
call to service. in the interest of home
and country. they have responded
with Iiberality and cheerfulnes. Her
Young men are covering themselves
with glory by evidences of devotion to
the flag, in order and action, and will
give a splendid account Of themselves
at every turn Of the way towards a
lasting peace. Her c~aDtains of in
dustry and her sons of toll have open
ed their hearts to the Liberty Loan
the Red Cross and the cause espoused
by the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. Her noble women have. dedica-
ted themselves to the service of their
country and are showing to the world
a love for human freedom not excelled
by those Of any country on the face of
the earth.

service here in North Carolina shows
that, with our people, the first consid-

safety of the nation and peace to all

out self-sacrifce true happiness may
not be- attained in this world.
North Carolinians realize that the
measure of the Nationals honor and
the Nations heart is being taken. They
have, never been slackers in the past

Raeligh, Oct. 22.-Reports being re-
ceived by the Food Administration
from every nook and corner Of North
Carolina indicate that the extra week
granted for preparation for the Food
Pledge Campaign, Oct. 9th to Nov.
4th. is going to result in tens Of thou
sands Of additional signatures to the
food pledge cards. The extra time
allowed by the postponement from the
original dates was heartily welcomed
by the 100 County Food Adminfstra-
tors who would not otherwise have
had time to perfect their county or
CARNATIONS.
= A total of 300, 900 pledge cards and
kitchen instruction cards and more
than 100000 membership cards have
been apporionted among thu. counties
and already many county adnl!nistra-
tors r calling for additional cards.
1t is not unlikely that, if the present
supply should prove insufficient dur
ing the campaign, additional order
will be placed and cards sent to those
counties which can use them.
The great idea of the campaign is
to bring the Individual households OF
the entire country into intimate reIa~
tionship with the Food Administra-
ton and with the government-not
only is the active cooperation of every
family and every individual desired in
the conservation Of food to the end
that wheat, beef, pork, fats and
sugar, may be supplied to the armies
and civilian population Of our Allies,
but that in all things the whole people
of the country may back the boys in
the trenches and renedr every possible
service at home which may tend to-
ward shortening the duration of the
war and saving the blood in defense
OF the rights of this county and of hu-
mainly.

tain when they were once through the
wall the rest would be easy. especially
for one who possessed such courage as
Pedro.
However, as soon as the two prison
ers had crawled through the opening
she realized how badly she was mis-
taken. They had been duped for they
found themselves In steel-lined cham
Der which was as impregnable as a
fortress and more terrible than the
one they had just left.
She was right. The stone had been
loosened by the guards merely as a
plant" and while Pedro had been
had been peering through an aperture
in the steel chamber, gloating cruelty
as they looked on.
"They have tricked us, Pedro" said
Liberty, as she gazed about the great
steel walls.
1--WE no beaten yet, Senorita," said
the slave.
But Liberty was not so certain. The
walls were composed of big steel
plates, riyeted together with great
heavy bolts. Nothing but miracle
could save them now. for there was not
even u window. The nearest thing to
one was small panel, near the top
of the wall, which was showed aside by
the guards as they stood grinning ut
the two prisoners, who were now at
their mercy.
One of these guards pulled cord
which rang a bell directly over two
Mexicans who We're stationed in front
of a furnace which was located under
the steel chamber. Immediately upon
hearing the bell these two began to
throw some of the wood, which was
piled high about them. into the fire.
Liberty, who had now given up in
despair, was standing against the wall,
looking helplessly at the old slave, who
refused to give up hopes. and was
closely scrutinizlng the plates and riv-
cts which composed their prison.
Suddenly Liberty drew back from
the wall in terror. "My God. they are
going to burn us alivel" she cried as
she turned to Pedro.
mo, no. Senorita :" cried Pedro.
"They would not do that"
But the girl took him by the arm
and led him over to the wall where
she had been standing, and placed his
hand against the steel plate. 1t was

placed all their strength against the
wheel, but it would not move. They
paused for an instant, as they stared at
each other, wondering what could be
the matter. Although they raised their
hands only for Il second, the windlass
began to reverse. The men tried to
stop 1t, but they couldn't get grip on
it, so rapidly did it spin. The walls be,
gan to move back into place very rap
idly and Pedro was freed from his po-
sition, which had almost exhausted
him.
Liberty's heart began to leap with
joy, and yet she wondered whether the
Mexicans were playing another trick
on them. Perhaps they would bring
the walls together suddenly, when they
discovered the prisoners We're not pre-
pared. and thus kill them instantly
If such was their plan, it would at
least be more merciful than the slow
death which stared them in the face
but moment before. Sudden death
would be indeed welcome.
Then something happened which sur
prised both Liberty and Pedro. One Of
he walls, in moving back, was carried
beyond its place by the momentum,
and left an open space large enough
for an individual to pass through. Pc
dro saw 1t, and so did Liberty. 1t was
a miracle. Without uttering single
word the slave grabbed her and pushed
her through the opening. Then he
leaped after her. They found the hall

mass.
Pedro snatched the revolver from the
mans belt and, placing his arm about
his mistress, he hurried her through
the gates. Then they started to thread
their way through the town, lodging
in and out of the narrow streets.
One of the prison guards, finding the
body of the Mexican at the bottom of
the steps, gave the alarm and a few
minutes later a pursuing party was
hastily formed which set out to search
for them.
But Pedro and Liberty had had q
good start and by this time were some
distance from the town.
