NO ARRESTS IN TEN YEARS
oeraeoke, N. c., is n Most Unusual
Town.

Oeracoke, N. c., is Most Unusual
Town. a.
Although this little town about a
century and half ago was the rendez-
vous of one of the worlds most daring
and famous gang Of crooks-Edward
Teach (Bluebeard) and his bandit Is
today one community which the recent
crime wave has not reached, relates an
Ocracoke, N. c. dispatch. There has
not been an arrest here in more than
ten years and the crimes Of robbery,
burglary, thief and murder are abso-
lutely unknown to the population, in
sofar as they refer to Ocracoke.
John O'Neal, after holding office as
justice of the peace at Ocracoke for
eight years, resigned a year or more
ago, and not having had ! a criminal
case during his administration. A
successor has never been elected. Mr..
O'Nea', who was born at Ocracoke,
says the worst crime he can recall to
have occurred at Ocracoke in so years
was one Of assault and battery.
There are only one or two homes
here that have locks on the doors and
the keys to those that are thus equip
ped ara never used. Most of the
houses at Ocracoke were wholly or
partially constructed with lumber Of
ships which were wrecked on the
treacherous shoals off the North Caro-
line coast. Every family here own
their home.
Ocracoke is at the extreme southern
end of little island by the same name,
located about 80 miles off the mainland
Of North Carolina, and is unique In
many respects. Ocracoke Island, which
is part Of Hyde county, North Caro-
lima, is little strip Of land about II
miles long and ranges in width from
one half to one and half miles. The
population of the Island numbers about
700, about ESQ Of whom live at Ocra-
coke Those who do not live in the
little town are members of the families
of coast guardsmen, who patrol the
coast.
AS there are no railroads, automo-
biles, street cars or theaters where mo-
tion pictures are shown, many of the
inhabitants at Ocracoke have never
seen any of these things. With the ex-
ception of the men employed by the
United States government as coast
guardsmen and the few merchants in
the little town all Ocracokers make
their living hunting and fishing.
Every person on Ocracoke Island Is
n Methodist in religion. They are
dividedt however, as to the sectional
branch to which they belong, about
half being members Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, South, while the
others attend the Northern church.
Ocracoke is one of the oldest settle
ments in America. The people are be-
lievcd by many historians to be des
cendants of the Lost Colony" Of Sir
Walter Raleigh.

After q while they were at the noun

splendid, sweet, untouched, with her
brave, brown forehead shadowed soft
ly by her brown hair, and her lashes
resting upon her cheeks, and her fin
gers clasped about the stems Of three
great, creamy roses.
There were other flowers all about,

Il was too late now to undo it; he
and Cherry must carry their desperate
plan to q conclusion now, must dis
appear and forget. They had tried, all
this last dreadful week, they had both
tried, to eXtinguish the flames, and
tliey had failed. But to Peter there
was no comforting thought anywhere.
Wrong would be done to Martin, to
AHX, to Cherry-and more than even
these, wrong to himself, to the ideal
of himself that had been his for so
many years, to the real Peter Joyce.

They were all running now, running
with desperate speed down the long
road, about the curves, on and Oh to-
ward the frantic noise of the dogs
barking, and toward another noise,
the sound OF human voice twisted
and wild with agony:
The strange woman was crying out
wildly; Cherry WAS sobbing a prayer
Peter, without knowing that lie spoke
at all, was repeating over and over
again the words: Not AliX-my God

descending precipiceS, crashing down

that IL was AliX's car, and with q great
cry he sprang over the bank and, slip

course down almost to the dry creek
