Roanoke Rapids Represented
in the Music Supervisors
Conference

Miss Crisp, the music director
gave a very interesting talk in
the chapel Tuesday morning of
her trip to the National Music
Supervisors Conference, which
was held in st. Joseph, Mo. April
the fourth through the eighth.
We felt proud of our city when
Miss Crisp told us that only
four North Carolina cities were
represented, of these four Roam
oke Rapids was the only small
city.
Miss Crisp told of her trip, de-
scribing very clearly and pictur-
esquely the wonderful scenery
she saw as she passed through
North and South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Alabama, Mississippi, Ar
kansas, Kansas and Missouri.
She especially enjoyed seeing
the green wheat fields, the
mining towns, the oil wells and
the southern woods in their
spring time garb. After seeing
the possibilities as illustrated by
high school orchestras, bands,
glee clubs and visiting musical
artists Miss Crisp has high hopes
of great music system in this
school for next year.

| "J "A"AhOoh SoP
tain Gray called his high schoo
huskies" together and journeyet
to Littleton to play the scheduled
game Of our favorite sport with
Littleton High. The boys were
in fine form and eager for the
Jump" to say play ball."
The game started at four-thirty
with R. R. H. S. at the bat.
They found Wright's twists easy
to connect with and two runs
were made in the first inning.
Johnson on the mound for the
High School pitched steadily and
his slow balls bewildered the
Littleton lads.
1t was in the third inning that
Outland's varsity staged a mer-
ry.go-round which sewed up the
game. The fellows pounded the
ball mercilessly and a run came
in with nearly every hit. Each
man on the team, in this frame,
made a run, while Gray, Hux
and Harris made two.
In the last of the third when it
was Littleton's time to use the
stick they were successful in
driving two men across the
plate.
Neither team made a run dur
ing the fourth or fifth innings.
But in the sixth "Ring-Around-
the-Roses" was again sung by
High Schools nine and this time
earned seven runs.
The seventh inning produced
five runs, and in the eighth two
more were added to the R. R. H.
S. Column.
Thinking that thirty.two runs
were enough for one game Coach
Outland told the boys to slow up
So they let the ninth go by with
out adding run. They, aided
by two questionable decisions of
umpire allowed Littleton to make
three runs in the last inning.
The line up was as follows:

The Perth Amboy Gun Club lost
the first leg of the shooting match
to the Hszlet Gun Club by one bird,
the score being 336 to 335 at the
end of the meet. The match was
close throughout, and ii was impos-
sible to tell who the winner was
until nearly the last shot had been
fred. This meet also changed the
score Of the local members in their
contest for the three cups. The
scores were so close that the win
ners of the cups could not be deter
mined after the meet on Saturday
afternoon.
Albert L. WINS, OF Red Bank. the
grand American indoor handicap
champion, maintained his usual
form throughout the shooting. and
was high cor man, breaking sew
enty-two birds out Of a possible
seventy-fve. WINS shot under the
colors of the Hazlet Gun Club. and
was the big factor in defeating the
local club by one bird.
Adam Schrimpf, of this city, who
is the worlds indoor champion trap
shooter. shot with the local gun club
and was tie for honors of third place
with A. Wyckoff of the Hazlet team.
Both of these men broke sixty-eight
out of a possible seventy-hve birds.
The big factor in keeping the
Perth Amboy Gun Club up in the
race was the wonderful shooting of
o. Mundy. who killed" seventy
birds put of a possible seventy-five.
Mundy nosed out Schrimpf by two
birds, and broke two less than WINS.
Mundy took the honors of second
place without any opposition.
The wind was so changeable Sat-
urday afternoon that no two birds
sprung from the trap alike. which
made it difficult to follow the clay
objects on their course Had the
afternoon been a calm one. IL was
said by the shooters that there
would have been several perfect

CHAPTER XIX
\ Following dinner, I was in my no.
tel lobby, waiting for Brewster to
blow in from the flying field, when
I was summoned to the telephone.
"Can I see you right away. Mr..
| McGuff? This is Lois Chandler
speaking, and l am at the Montressa-
1t is very. very important"
"Why, sure thing" 1 buzz. con-
siderably surprised. I'll hurry right
over"
"Thank you so much, Mr.. Nc
| Cuff" She hung up.
So. a few minutes later. I was
sitting opposite the charming Miss
Chandler in a secluded corner OF
the Montressa. ready for her to
shoot. The girl was as lovely as
ever, but appeared worried.
II feel that I car trust you. and
that you are a friend of Val-to
Mr.. Brewster" she begins. Il know
that Judge Curtis"
please get me right on this
Judge Curtis stuff. Miss Chandler"
I butt in. IT thought I was doing
him and the boy a favor when !
agreed to allow Brewster to join my
team, but I'll be hanged If I know
what to think now. There's a pile
| of mystery here and it grabs my nan
NY mean, it fuses me, Miss Chan
der"
II understand, MI. McGuff." She
smiles a little. II may be able to
| clear up a few things, although / am
in the dark yet in some particulars.
I think I am on the trail of some
thing that Mr.. Brewster should
know. 1 am afraid he is not-Ret
friendly with me any longer and per-
haps I can't blame him. So l am
trying to enlist your aid in getting
it to his attention. It's about those
queer Raspberry messages"
"Good!" I gargle. "That guy has
set the bunch by the ears too long
already. Do you know who he is,
Miss Chandler"
mo, I do not, Mr.. McGuff. But
I think I will, before very long. But
1 guess some explanations are IN
order first"
IAN right, Miss Chandler"
"Well." she says II presume you
know that Val Brewster and ! were
on the verge of an engagement last
spring. but-but l couldn't quite
make up my mind. I was afraid he
had some traits of character to
which I couldn't become reconciled.
much as I liked him. And ] still
like him-though I'm afraid we've
drifted a long distance apart his
summer"
These Raspberry messages start
ed coming to him. At first they
made him wild. But lei and in
sulting as they were. they had some
truth in them. and l think Val real
lied then how grave some of his
faults were. He began to change
slowly. although he was furiously
angry at the messages.
The night of the graduation ball
we ~quarreled. George Grain. the
junior member of the firm of Cur
tbs and Grain, who handle the Brew
ster estate, had been paying some
attention to me. and Val was angry.
He said Curtis and Grain were crooks
and were secretly plotting to de-
fraud him OF his estate. He said his
father on his dying bed had warned
him against them. and that he had
been investigating.
Angry and unbelieving. because
I believed I knew the reputation of
Curtis and Grain. 1 rebuked him. and
our disagreement followed. He swore
he would prove what he said. and
left me. quite furious
After my first bitterness passed,
I began to wonder IL there could be

n truth in his mad statements. !
resolved to do a little detective work.
I found out that Judge Curtis had
been anxious to send Brewster away
on this trip, and some of the reasons
advanced by George Grain didn't
sound just right to me. l began to
suspect.
Then I played a game : myself,
Mr.. McGuff. Although / had never
regarded him as anything but friend
1 let George Grain pay attentions to
me. I pretended to have lost all re-
gard for Val, and 1 acted like a per-
J feet little cat once. I know Val will
never forgive that"
He might if he understood" I
venture.
I'm afraid not. Val Brewster is
so proud" signs the girl. well,
anyway, Mr.. McGuff. I tried to show
my friendliness at the Country Club
later, and you know what happened.
He cut me dead. Still. I suppose it
serves me quite right.
IT have played the sneak until j
am much ashamed of myself. but I
have gotten into the confidence of
George Crain-and I know he is a
rascal, Mr.. McGuff, Judge Curtis
and he are playing some game. Some
deep game, and they r not alone in
it. Val Brewster has a powerful
enemy, and those Raspberry mes
sages are part of a plot Someone is
trying hard to ruin that boy! But
the solution of the mystery has been
beyond me-.
Hasn't Brewster been employing
detectives himself?"
81 think he has. And I believe
Judge Curtis, back home, and Grain,
who is here. suspect something. and
r working very smoothly. They
are trying to make Val believe the
Raspberry messages are inspired by
a person entirely innocent. ! am
positive of this, and I believe they
have succeeded to a great degree.
Oh. it is a fine little scheme as long
as it works"
"And who Is this innocent per-
son they are hoping 20 make a vic
TIM" I inquire.
Myself" comes the girls bitter
reply.
