YORK MODEST In
TALBOT EXPLOIT
With Difficulty Persuad-
ed To Talk At All
OF War

No one who went to the Rylander
theater Tuesday night to see and hear
Sergeant Alvin c. York, the out
standing hero of the great war, and
participate in the Flag Day eXercis-
cs in connection with his appearance,
expected him to make much of
speech, knowing him to be a plain
mountaineer boy without much
schooling But, while they were not
disappointed by hearing polished
Grafton, they were repaid with an IN
tcysting talk by York that had the
ing of genuineness to 1.-THE story
of a thrilling exploit Of the war from
the lips of the man who took the
leading part in it.
York appeared with great modcsty.
Clad in his travelling clothes, With
out even SO much as one of the scores
e medals he has received, he said nc
had come to Americas withou, a
thought of speaking about any phase
of the war, but that as citizens who
had entertained him in the aftefhooH
insisted on him telling sOmething o.
the war, he would do so briefly, and
he proceeded to recount the well
known story of the capture of the
1872 Germans, modeStIy leaving out
most of the part he played in the IN
cident.
"Up where ! come FROM" he said,
I'VE have a rule that if someone does
something he let's others do the talk
ing about it."
it was afterward explained to the
audience by Evan Mathis, who pre-
sided, that it was with the greatest
difficulty that York had been per
suaded to talk at all Of the war and
his experience in it.
York's principal talk was on the
Christian decadence of the country,
Since the war, he said, it was very
apparent there had been a lowering
of Christian standards, not only
throughout Europe and the rest OF
the world, but in our own country.
He declared that the inevitable re-
suit for this so-called Christlanized
nation, unless the standards are rails
cd instead Of lowered, will be that
the nation will fall
York said he was on his way to
attend the Methodist conference at
McRae and invited every Amerlcus
citizen who could do so attend the
conference He expressed his great
pleasure at the courtesies shown him
in America and declared he was de
lighted with the city and the people
here.
York was introduced by Capt. Cox,
commander of his company at the
: close of the war. Capt. Cox assured
the audience that the stories of the
exploit of the red-haired Tennessean
were all true-and probably more
He recited the story of the attack on
the memorable day in which York
captured those 1872 Germans and pre-
pared the setting for York's own
story which followed
The evenings program opened with
the singing of America" by the audi
ence, led by Miss Ella Polk. Mr.

ute to the part of the Boy Scouts

in the war and their work at home,
following which James Collins, an
Americas Scout, told something Of
the aims and ideals Of the Scouts.
Miss Susan Stallings read in
Flanders Field" and other war class
les, following which four Boy Scouts
furnished a highly interesting and IL
Illuminating demonstration of first aid
service.
Mr.. Mathis at this point paid high
tribute to the spirit of the Ameri-
can Doughboy," the statue of 3. M.
Viqucsney, which occupied place in
the center of the stage in the rear,
surrounded by American flags. Capt.
Cox was then introduced, followed
by Sergeant York, and the audience
was dismissed with the singing of the
"Star Spangled Banner" -,
The audience was far too small
for the occasion.

Chapter XII


l realized as Lila Ames opened
the door OF her rooms and startled
me with the cool clearness Of her
voice, that she was one of o
women who never let the world
| catch her off guard, thus never lose
their glamor.
Her figure, against the sun from
the opposite windows, was a swath
of shimmering tints of pink and yell
low. Pink satin slippers were visi-
BILE below the sweeping lines and
laces. Her brilliantly toned hair was
the only accent.
Lets talk this morning-sit down
by the window; don't you love to
luxuriate in the sunlight?" If Mrs.
Ames had seen the little hallway
skit between Phillip Ames and my
self, L felt sure, with her first re-
mark, hat she intended to ignore it.
If that al the case then, with all
of her superficiality there must be
something fine and big about her.
Perhaps, however, she had not
seen.
Il was waiting for Philip" she
announced. He usually drops in on
LIS way up town in the morning.
Miss Sorenson, do you ever wonder
about yourself?" Her voice was a
bit wistful.
DO you ever WONDER" she on
tinued, why you can't love the peo-
pie you should love and did lover"
L smiled, but did not speak. 1
knew that Lila Ames didn't expect
an answer. She wanted to talk.
Perhaps after all she was going to
tell me indirectly that she saw
Philips arm and hal 1 a well
come to something she was ready
to lay aside.
Yet hat isn't the way of woman.
Even though she herself is done
with a love and refuses to further
tend the flame and keep it burning
clearly, it hurts her beyond all
reason to see some other woman
take her place and to see the fame
spring up anew under the care of
other hands.
Things seem to come to me so
easily. The ease of every conquest
kills the JOY" Mrs. Ames laughed
lightly. II sometimes wonder If
every oma has an experience SIM
liar to mine"
She looked at me deliberately, and
then, do you know that l meet
very, very few men who are not
strongly attracted to me right from
the start? / think 1 would be safe
in saying that out of every ten men
1 meet, the affection of nine of them
could be mine within two weeks. If
1 willed it."

Down They Went Under Sprinkle

There's something up" said
