SMALL DWELLING BURNED

A gasoline stove exploding
caused a fire early Tuesday
morning last, which destroyed
the home of Selig Colora (col-
ored,) and seriously burned
his wife, Myrtle Colora. The
house, located just beyond the
curve at the lower end of Port
Deposit, had burned to consid-
cradle extent while Colora was
securing medical aid for his
wife, and when the firemen ar
rived it was impossible to save
it. The entire contents were
lost.

time? Splendid-I1l carry the baby

Of lettuce in her market basket. A lit
tie pink crept into her cheeks and she
suddenly laughed This was delightful
adventure to fall into life devoted to
the washtub and the stove.
They started up the street, probably
the strangest trio Riverton had ever
seen.
Maddy's feeble protests that he would
get her dirty, had been disregarded as
Joyce lifted the lumpy baby into her
own arms. A stoical baby-he looked
blandly upon the world regardless Of
the clacking tongues left in their wake.
Maddy. pasty and dumpy, over her
arm slung the market basket with vege-

with the slender regal girl in orchid

to me as went out. He told me not

l freckles had taken on a green
ish cast. Maddy shorn OF any
pretentions of prettiness to which youth
and makeup might have entitled her.
Six years of marriage had aged
Maddy She looked quite. as old as
Neil. Nor did the orange dress-faded,
but still strident-help matters. The
color sapped what little hue there was
in Maddy's cheeks and lips and turned
her laSheS and browS quite pale.
At the sight of Joyce she had hitched
the heavy baby further up on her hip
and made an instructive movement to
dive into the store. But Joyce had ex-
claimed and stepped up to her.
"Maddy! I was sure it was you!
"Oh, sure. I come here to do
my marketing" said Maddy fatty.
And this is the baby! To think I
haven't seen him! Isn't he big for his
age!"
Maddy watched lethargically as Joyce
exclaimed over the baoy, who watched
her with expreSsionless round eyes
with much of Aunt Clara's own stupid
NY of gaze.
Aunt Clara told me you had mar
rfed told me about the baby.
I've been wanting to See you, Maddy.
I went down to your house once-there
was no one home"
Il guess I was down to the market," p"
Maddy replied in a tight voice. Her
eyes were taking in Joyce almost de-
family. She gave little sharp laugh.
well, you don't need me to tell you
how fine you're lookin', Joy. Like

larry for an eXtravagant comparison
like some beautiful film star. Looks

Der that hot day, just before you went
away, when you an me was sitting in
our room-you on the bed can see
you now, sitting cross-legged, and
scowlin', and saying you wanted money
and beautiful clothes. "
Maddy was pelting her with the
words, as though they were so many
missiles. Joyce was family puzzled at
the leashed excitement in her manner.
"Well, I have them, Maddy. And
how strangely it came about! But 1
don't need to tell you about that; I
I find I've no secrets from the town!
But tell me about yourself

Maddy looked after him with mali
cious satisfaction.
HE bowed because you were with
me! When I'm alone, he can't see me
for dust. Terribly afraid I'll speak to
him when he's with someone! Huh!
Actin like he never met me! Just
as If didn't play go-between for you
an him in the old days! Me not know
him-oh, land!"
But Joyce did not echo Maddy's
amused little sharp laugh.
Joyce was remembering q fervent
young man who had spoken to her
not half an hour before, pleading
ardently-

hind Maddy's frown, behind her reluc-

Joyce's astonished questions she replied,
her voice quivering with indignation.
"Oh. you don't need to pretend! You
don't want to see me! You know you
don't I'm too poor and too homely,
an too far beneath you. I'd only be in
your way now"
"Maddy!" Joyce interrupted the
cyclone with startled exclamation,

Nervous tears stood in Maddy's eyes.

be too fine to notice me! You-living
up on the Crest, an Will an me down

JURORS INDICT
DURHAM DOCTOR

Durham - The Durham county
grand jury returned a true bill of in
dictment charging DR.. Mike Rober-
son, local physician, with performing
an illegal operation on Miss Daphne
Cam, Raleigh stenographer, at his Of
flee here, on the night of June IS.
DR.. Robertson is at liberty under ST.
600 bond. He is scheduled to go on
trial at the July term of superior
court.
The Durham physician, against
whom two charges of abortion have
been pending in the local courts for
the last three years, was arrested upon
information gained by Raleigh police
following an early Sunday morning
raid at the home of Mrs. C. C. For
syth, where Miss Cam was confined
pending the outcome of the operation.
R. M. Jackson, Jr., travelling sales
man, who told police he had brought
Miss Cam here from Raleigh and had
paid DR.. Robertson $50 to perform the
operation, is at liberty under $1,000
bond as a material witness. He told
Durham police that the Durham ply
sician had directed him to carry Miss
Cam to the Forsyth home in Raleigh
and that he had contracted to pay
Mrs. Forsyth $40 for her services.
Both DR.. Robertson and Mrs. For
syth were indicted some time ago in
connection with the death of a Raj
eigh school teacher following an lille
gal operation. DR.. Robertson was con-
victed by a Durham county jury but
the supreme court sent the case back
for %retrial, taking exception to the
charge delivered by Judge N. A. Sin
clair. Solicitor Umstead has expressed
doubt as to the trial of DR.. Robertson
on the former charge since the wit
nesses who testified in the trial cannot
be located.

AT END OF MONTH
The Government Tax ON
Checks That Went Into
Effect June Fl VIII
Continue In Force Until
July 1, 1884.

The federal governments new two
cent tax on checks drawn against
bank accounts means a headache to
bankers as we'll as to customers, it you
believe statements from Salisbury fl
nanciers.
1t sounds simple enough-two cents
for every check written-but when
whitfield down a little, the new law
offers considerable entanglements,
some of which have not been salts
factorily smoothed out yet.
To balance the budget and help
maintain top-heavy governmental ex-
penditures, congress passed the law,
which went into effect June Fl. 1t
remains in force until July l, 1884.
The added bookkeeping will neces-
state many hours extra work at the
end of the months, or in between
times, on the part of the banks cler-
ical forces. One banker was heard to
moan that it meant an all-night SEES
sion with the Burroughs on the last of
the month.
Probably all local banks will count
all negotiable checks at the end Of the
month and add two cents for each
one, instead of adding two cents to the
amount of each check as a surcharge
before it is charged to the account.
/ A customer can obtain money from
his account at the bank by signing a
counter receipt, which escapes the two
pennies taxation. This receipt is not
negotiable, however.
Travellers checks, cashiers checks
and personal checks of state or mu-
nicipal officers are taxable, although
state and municipal government checks
are not subject to the levy, it was I'M
