 She could never tell him now that she had been with Donegal after what had happened. She would just have to trust to luck that he would never find it out. If he did
 Honey Lou's thoughts stopped at that thought, and refused to go any further. She put her head on the pillow, and was instantly asleep, like an excited tired baby.
 It seemed to her only a minute afterward that she was awakened by pounding on the door of her room.
 She sat straight up in bed and rubbed her eyes to get the sleep out of them. Why, it was morning. Gray light came from under the drawn blinds and the fresh smell of the breakfast coffee swept up to her nostrils when she opened the door.

 He thrust the paper into her out flung hands, and stood at the foot of her bed while she read the news story on the first page:
 "A joy ride ended in an arrest yesterday when two well-knoWn young women of our town waited in an inn just outside the city for bootlegging friend who was being held in the jail there.
 Miss Angela Newton Allen and Mrs. Jack Wallack, Junior. bride Of six months, were the women. Miss Allen pawncd two diamond rings to obtain money with which to bail Timothy Donegal, alleged bootleg- ger, out of the jail.
 "Donega's car has been held by the marshal there since early last week when two gallons of whiskcy were found hidden under some leopard skin rugs in the rumble. Yesterday Donegal arrived at the claim it, and was immediately ar rested"
 Honey Lou read no more. Ice seemed to be gathering around her heart, and her head began to throb with terrific pain.
 She looked up with an effort and met Jacks accusing eyes.
 But let me EXPLAIN!" she begged him, "oh, please let me ex- plain."
 "Go ahead" he answered rough ly, coldly, I'm not stopping you. What is your eXplanation?"
 Honey Lou wrung her hands. q T didn't want to go," she walled, Angela"

 Honey Lou did not try to follow him. She sat. still and white and terrified, in the middle of her bed and listened to him moving around in his own room.
 Then his footsteps came along the hall, passed, died away. The door opened and closed. He was gone.
 All day she stayed alone in the quiet flat, where Mary's padded

COMMISSION HAS.
AGREED TO PUT
OIL ON STREET
Dust Proof Substance Will Be
Placed on Surface of
Franklin Street
PROBABLY IN DECEMBER

The State Highway Commits
sion has agreed to put oil on the
surface of West Franklin street,
from Strowd's garage to the
town line, after the curb-and-
gutter work and the grading are
completed.
This Oil will provide a dust
proof surface. And it is not the
sort of substance that clings to
car wheels or flies about to soil
peoples clothes and faces.
Just as soon as the contractors
and the town force have finish
ed the improvement that is now
under way the highway commits
sion will send it's men here to
do the oiling This will probably
be before the end of the year.
On state highways in various
parts of North Carolina this
same grade of oil has been used
with success. First a thin coat
ing of oil is spread on the gravel,
then a coating of sand, then oil
again, then sand again. This
process is kept up until the oil
and-sand mixture has a depth
of almost an inch and a quarter.
The application is repeated once
a year for five years, with the
result that the road comes to
resemble one that has been paved
with asphalt, except that the sur
face retains a yielding quality
not associated with the word
pavement.
Franklin street forms a part
of the state highway from here
to Hillsboro, and this oiling is
to be strictly a state job. But it
may be That, in time, the town
of Chapel Hill will decide to
treat some of it's own streets in
the same manner. The experts
say that, considering the quality
of the road it gives, the treat
ment:is inexpensive. 1t reduces
considerably the cost of upkeep.

TO FINISH UPPER
PART OF GRAHAM
MEMORIAL BLDG.
Rooms Will Be Used for
Student Activities of
Various Sorts
CHASE AND ATWOOD TALK

A plan. is on foot to begin
work at once on the interior of
the upper floor of the Graham
Memorial, so that this part of
the building may be brought in
to use for student activities this
winter.
President Chase and T. C. At
wood had a conference on the
subject yesterday (Thursday)
morning.
The building has been stand
ing many months with the in
terror uncompleted. There is
not enough money to put it into
condition throughout, but it is
thought that with the approx
mately $4,000 which the Gra-
ham Memorial Committee has on
hand, the second floor can be
made habitable.
1t is the committee which de-
termines how the money shall
be used. President Chase is
merely laying the plans before
the members for consideration.
If his suggestion is adopted the
upstairs rooms will be used by
various student organizations.
There will be some sort of tenn
porary heating arrangement.
The ground floor is to be a
great social hall. The reason for
finishing the upstairs first is
that considerably greater sum
of money than is now on hand
will be required for the con-
struction and the furnishing of
the downstairs.
The scaffolding and the con-
tractors shacks between the
street are to be cleared away
so that the space may be plant
ed in grass and made part of
the campus.

End Concrete Highway May Connect
Chapel Hill and Durham

If the Orange county commits
sioners agree to pave about two
and a half miles from Chapel
Hill to the Orange-Durham
county line there will be a sec
ond hard-surface highway be-
tween Chapel Hill and Durham,
and the short cut to Raleigh
(by way of loves Grove and
Nelson) will be all paved but
seven miles.
Durham county has already
contracted for the paving of the
New Hope Valley road out from
the city to Evergreen Farm,
coming in this direction. And at
their meeting this week the COM
missioners agreed to extend the
paving to the Orange-Durham
line provided Orange would pave

press) to consider the proposal.
A delegation motored over from
here to attend the meeting.
Among the Chapel Hill citizens

for a knowledge of the back
ground of music necessary for
real appreciation. This course
will be elementary in it's nature,
no previous knowledge of the
subject being required. Mr..
Weaver will direct the class,
which will be held every fourth
Tuesday in the month, at half
past three, in the New West
building. There is no charge.
The informal afternoon meetings

New Paper in HillsbOrO
Oscar Barker, of Durham, a Trained
Journalist, Is Editor and Manager

A new weekly paper has been
established in Hillsboro.
It is named the Recorder, and
the editor and manager is Oscar
Barker. Mr.. Barker, who has
been living in Durham for sew
eral years, is well-trained
newspaper man. Most of his
writing has been done for the
Durham Herald and the Durham
Sun. For a year or more he was
one of the partners in the Bar
ker-Suggs Printery. He was a
candidate for the city solicitor
ship in the Democratic primaries
in Durham this last summer.
Recently he has been practicing
law.
Thus his experience has en-
braced the activities that consti-
tute the best preparation for the
duties of an editor. To his other
qualifications is added the merit
of being a good mixer.
1t is understood that politi-
cally the Recorders policy is to
be independent. Probably with
Democratic leanings, since Mr..
Barker is a loyal Democrat. The
paper is to lay it's heaviest en-
phasis upon the news of the
county.

The copperhead, when no
doubt remained that it was COM
.pletely dead, was stretched out
ION a board where it was kept in
place by nails along both sides
of it's body. And Monday Mr..
Brooks took it to the zoology
laboratory.
At the Home of the Mobiles
After plentiful supper-Mr.
and Mrs. House sat chatting in
the living room while Miss Alice
Noble went to carry some deli
.cacies to a neighbor who was ill.
AS she came back up the walk
they heard her cry out that. she
saw a snake. Running to the
front of the house, they looked
through the screen door and
there on the little porch, between
the foot mat and the screen, they
saw, glistening in the rays of the
electric light, a highland mocca-
sin.
Displaying the spirit of hos
pitality that never deserts him,
Mr.. Noble said: Il yield to the
guest, but I'll get the stick for
YOU" He did, and Mr.. House
left the house by another door,
came around through the yard,
and accomplished the slaughter.
They buried the snake near the
garage and went back to resume
their practice of the art Of con-
versation.
About fifteen minutes later, in
a lull in the discussion of history,
philosophy, education, and other
subjects in which our University
professors customarily indulge,
Mr.. Noble remarked: "I've heard
snakes went about in pairs. May
be we'd better see if there's an
other"
They went to the door, looked
through the screen-and another
moccasin lay in exactly the same
place where the first had been.
Mr.. House, now become an ex-
perienced snake-despatcher, a.
gain exercised the privilege of a
guest. And another burial took
place, in a new grave alongside
the old.
Both of these snakes had
their heads pointed toward the
home of my neighbor, Miss
Daisy Ross, and were looking
that way with a sort of yearn-
ing expression" said Mr.. Noble
afterward. 81 think they be-
longed in her yard and, while
going home from party at one
of Vernon Howell's houses down
the Hillsboro road, lost their way
and wandered into my place by
mistake"
