Cherry met the arm her sister linked
around her. halfway, and gave her
Il troubled smile.
And yet few moments later, when
some quest took Peter suddenly from
the group, she watched the shabby
corduroy suit, the laced high boots,
and the black head touched with gray,
disappear in the direction of the
kitchen with g tearing pain at her
heart. Her father had asked her to
wait, wait until she was nineteen
Nineteen had seemed old then. She
had felt at nineteen she would have
merely delayed the great joy of life
for nothing; at nineteen she would
be only so much older, so much more
desperately bent upon this marriage.
And Peter was there then, was COM
ing and going, advising and teasing her
so near, so accessible, loving her
even then, had she but known it!
That engagement might as easily
and how much more wisely have
been with Peter; the presents, the
gowns, the wedding would have been
the same, to her childish egotiSm the
rest how different The rest would
have been light instead of darkness,
joy instead of pain, dignity and de-
velopment and increasing content In.
stead Of all the months of restless
criticism and doubt and disillusion-
ment. The very scene here, with Mrs,
North and Alix, might easily have
been, with Cherry as the wife Of Peter,
Cherry as her sisters hostess, in the
mountain cabin
At the thought her heart suffocated
her. She stood dazedly looking out of
the old kitchen window, and her
senses swan in sudden spasm OF
pain.

She had the telephone In her hand, to
cancel the engagement with her den

accompany her into town; land at

"for Peter almost always lunches

Feeling that the question was set
tied, yet restless and unsatisfied STILL
Cherry dressed for town; they climbed
into the car; Alixs firm hands, in yell
low channels gloves, snatched at the
wheel; the die was cast.
Yet at the station another change of
plan occurred, for as Alix brought the
car to the platform Anne came toward
them from the arriving train, a gloved

Anne's pale face flushed and her
eyes narrowed.
Cherry was flushed and uncomfort-
able. There was an awkward pause.
"Board?" shouted 40 trainman, with
rising infection. The sisters looked
at each other in a panic of haste.

exclaimed 1--WE got to park her and

Cherrys heart leaped, sank coldly,
and leaped again, as with swift nod
of parting she hurried for her train.
The other two women watched her
with forced interest as she climbed
on board and as the train slipped
noiseessly out of sight. 1t curved
among the redwoods and was gone be-

eyes met Anne's friendly, questioning

iShed rather fatty.
Perhaps it's just as well to under
stand each other!" Anne said, with
hot cheeks They exchanged a few
more sentences, wasted words and
angry ones, and then Anne walked
over to a seat In the shade, to wait
for another train, and Alix, with her
heart beating hard and her color high,
drove at mad speed back to the noun
tain cabin.
II didn't ask her to lunch-I don't

follow. She went to the open front
doorway and stood there, leaning
against the sill, and gazing sadly out
at the shabby, tangled garden that
| had sheltered all the safety and joy
and innocence of her little-girl days.
Peter" she said, as he came to
stand beside her, I'm so unhappy :"
Cherry, will you end it," he asked
her, huskily.
She gave him a startled look.
End it," she faltered.
"Nill you-do you think you are
brave enough to give everything else
up for me?' he asked.
"PeterW said Cherry, hardly above

went on, feverishly. That's the only

"AnyWhere I" Peter answered, con-
fusedly. Anywhere !" He did not
meet her look, his own went furtively
about the garden. Immediately he
seemed to regain self-control. I'm
talking like a fool !" he said, quickly.
Il don't know what I'm saying half
the time! I'm sorry-Tm sorry Cher
ry. Don't mind me. Say that you'll
forgive me for what l said"
He had taken her hands, and they
were looking dIstressedly and sober
ly at each other when an unexpected
noise made them step quickly apart
Cherry's heart beat madly with ter
ror, and Peter flushed deeply
1t was Martin Lloyd's aunt Mrs.
North, their old neighbor, who came
about the corner of the house, and
approached them smilingly. How much
had she seen? Cherry asked herself,
in panic. What were they doing?
what were they saying as she ap-
peared?-hOw much had their atti-
tude betrayed them?
Mrs. North was the same loud,
laughing, cheerful woman as of old.
She kissed Cherry, and was full Of
queries for Martin.

thing about his going there" she said
"How long you been here, Cherry?"

look.

that | would mean it if ! spoke of
equality of economic opportunity as
between members of the same race. In
each case l would mean equality pro-
portioned to the honest capacities and

Men Of both races may well stand
uncompromisingly against every sug-

would be helpful to have the word
equality eliminated from this consid-
Grafton; to have it accepted on both

made real progress when we develop
an attitude in the public and commu-

ognizes the difference.
Racial Ambitions.

and pride will come natural segrega-

such as are proceeding in both rural
and urban communities now in South

and contentment.
"On the other hand I would insist
upon equal educa tional opportunity for
both. This does not mean that both
would become equally educated within
a generation or two generations or ten
generations even men of the same race
do not accomplish such an equality as

enable them to develop their own lead

master. This was determined yester-
day afternoon at q meeting of the Re

held here. Just when the appointment
will be made ard confirmed is not
known, though it will probably be
done by the first of the year. The
other eligibles were F. P. Rocket,
present assistant postmaster, and r.
p. Washam. Endorsement by the
county executive committee is prac-
tical assurance of an appointment.
The recommendation goes to John NJ.
Moorehead for his o. X. and will then
be acted on by the Washington au-
thorities. According to the terms OF
a policy adopted by the executive COM
mittee in his beginning of the admin
istration, the two committeeman in

the postmaster. 1t is understood that
prior to the announcement of the
names of the candidates who passed
the civil service commission there was
a division between the two Gastonia
township committeeman, Eli Line
berger and John n. Hanna. However,
yesterday they agreed on Mr.. Slate
and, following the policy adopted he
was made the committees choice. Mr.
Slate is editor OF The Gastonia Times,

in the county. He has been resident
of Gastonia for the past several years
having come here from Lincolnton
where he edited The Lincoln Times.
