smoke poured up from all sides. They
two were alone upon the roof of a
fourteen-story building, while below
them surged up the agnonized and
excited cries of thousand in the
street below The pressure in the
mains was at low ebb, and the
dwingling streams from the firemen's
hose reached with difficulty to the
tenth story. Their situation seemed
desperate. Yet they were in each
others arms, and utterly oblivious of
all of the danger and all the excite
ment They had not seen each other
in tvo years. Tell me darling, be-
fore we die, why you were in my
room that night, and why you were

STAIN VIRGINIA'S RECORD
North Carolinians Object to lndigni-
ties Suffered by Women on
Searched Trains.

Residents of North Carolina return
ing to Greensboro from northern
points are freely expressing their in
dignation over the manner in which
they allege they are treated by Vir-
ginia officers who, they declare,
search practically every train passing
through the state in the hope of find
ing whisky. These Greensboro citi-
zens give voice to their Indignation
in North Carolina paper and say
that they are no longer worried by
Federal officials. since instructions
were issued by the United States At
torney General, but that "the Vir-
einia officers have become worse
One complaining North Carolinian
says: "In the middle of the night
the train is stopped and, with a pis-
tol staring them in the face, the pas
sengers are subjected to the roughest
treatment. Disregarding the fact
that a woman may be asleep in a
berth, these officers pull the curtain
side and flash light under the cover
in search of whisky. Thus is protec-
ton of womanhood forgotten in the
e2gerness to obtain reward for an
arrest. The end does not justify the
means in cases Of this nature. Even
were the train full Of whisk it would
be better to let it pass over Virginia
soil than subject women to such de-
gradation. Virginia has stained her
reputation as State not only by per-
hitting, but by advocating, such
ruthlessness. But : do not think that
America, as a nation, should be dis
praced by it's continuance"
