Durant put the paper down
slowly. It was absurd. Tommy
Siddall wasn't the kind to kill
anyone. OF course, he might
have been drinking, but even
then it was ridiculous to think
that the mild-mannered youth
could be guilty of such a
crime.
You'll Help Me?
His brows furrowed. Recol-
lection of gossip came back
to him. Last year young Sid
dali had been giving the Mon
tagne quite a play. Since then,
SO his Broadway friends told
him, she had become intimate
with Jim Crelliman. Now
what the devil was Siddall do
ing at a party given by Crelli-
man? When a man became
engaged to a girl like Sue
Leonard the time had come
for him to drop the gayeties
of batchelorhood. Granting
that Siddall's presence at Crel-
liman's party had been inno-
cent enough-up to the mo-
ment OF the killing-it was
rotten bad taste.
Durant read the account
again. 1t certainly was
skeleton, no details, nothing on
which a mans Imagination
could work, 1t looked bad.

She had said exactly the
right thing; she had assumed
that the man to whom she had
once been engaged would be
loyal to her in distress. Durant
took her hand and led her to q
couch. For a moment she was
silent, and her lip trembled.
Then, quite Unexpectedly, she
smiled.

walked into the bathroom. and
stepped under a shower.
He had almost finished
shaving when Layton knocked
on the door.
Miss Leonard is calling on
you, sir" said the valet.
Durant opened the door and
stared at the man. Miss

She's been crying; she's in
a terrible state. I told her
you'd be out at once. It's
about Mr.. Siddall, sir"

Durant. "I'll finish shaving"
But for a good two minutes
he stared at himself, while the
lather dried on his face. Sue!
Coming to him! For help. It
was a bit ironical. He lifted
the razor to his face.

Durant had long ago decided.
A lesser mentality can rarely

Mimi Montague, night-club
singer and well-known char
acter on Broadway, was muir
dered early this morning dur
ing a party in the penthouse
apartment of James Crelliman,
Broadway big shot. Thomas
Siddall, wealthy broker, whose
engagement to Miss Sue Leon
ard, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Benjamin Leonard of Park
Avenue, was announced only
last week, was accused of the
crime.
According to the tale told by
Crelllman and guests at the
party, Miss Montague and Sid
dali left the others in the liv-
ing room and went out on the
porch. A shot was heard and
the guests rushed out to find
Miss Montague shot through
the heart and Siddall standing
over her with a gun in his hand.
All of the party were taken to

are still detailed for question

right?"
Over her shoulder she glanced
at him. Something had hap
pened to Sue in the last six
months; half a year ago she had
been lovely, q china blonde, a
Bouguereau figurine. But now
she was mature. Her face was
as young and her figure as slim,
but there was some subtle
changes from within that af-
fected the external. Then, she
had been a beautiful girl; now,
she was lovely woman.
You were right" he said.
"And yet how wrong I was"
she said. For if you had lis
tened to me you wouldn't be
now the man, the only man, who
can save Tom. And Jack, you'll
do it,"
Her last sentence was not a
question. It was an affirmation,
yet her voice held the fainEest
trace Of uneaSineSs.

Special Tax Elections
School Levy Beaten in North Caro-
lima Cities; Approved in

In special elections this week
the proposal to levy a special To-
cal tax, to supplement the al
lowance from the state. was de-
feated in Greensboro, Charlotte,
and Concord. The proposal was
approved in Roanoke Rapids and
North Wilkesboro.
The registration in Green's
bOro was 5.164. For the levy to
be imposed, a majority had to
vote for it. There were 1857
votes for and 1856 against, and
2.851 voted against the levy by
staying away from the polls.
Thus the adverse majority was
$3.50.
The margin was narrower III
Charlotte. Of the 1902 citl-
zens registered, 1914 cast their
ballots for the tax. In Concord
| the tax was favored by only Ais
of the 1916 voters registered.
In Roanoke Rapids the vote
was 1,2O7 to 251 against, and in
North Wilkesboro 3S3 to 332
against.
The special taxes voted on IN
the five places were 19 cents on
the 500 in Greensboro, 20 cents
in Charlotte, Is cents in Concord,
mot to exceed so cents IN
Roanoke Rapids, and 16 cents in
North Wilkesboro.
In the city of Durham last
week the proposal to levy a
special school tax won by the
narrow margin of 145 votes, but
it was defeated in Durham coun-
ty outside of the city.
Members of the school board In
Raleigh have voted, three to
two, against holding an election
there. and so it appears that III
the capital the people will not
even have the chance to say
whether they want special tax
or not.

Raleigh and the Schools
(INews and ObSerper)

(Ners and ObSfrperJ
Raleigh citizens will not ac-
cept the invitation cordially ex-
tended by Southern Pines to pull
lup stakes here and move to the
delightful Moore county town III
order to have adequate school
| facilities for their children. The
citizens of Raleigh will share the
destiny of Raleigh. Poor as Ra-
liegh is, its poor citizens Will
make the best of bad situation.
Everybody in Raleigh will, and
particularly the teachers who
will bear the chief burden OF
financial sacrifice.
If these hard times have any
worth, it is that they have dem
onstrated the courage and sta
bility Of the American people. In
that demonstration no class has
shown its virtue to a greater eX-
tent than the school teachers Of
the country. In hundreds of
|cities from Chicago to unknown
hamlets, teachers have gone on
with their teaching long after
the communities have failed to
give them their pay. There are
thousands of school children in
America who owe the teaching
they have received in the depres-
sion to the philanthropy of the
men and women who taught
them without pay. Raleigh
teachers whose salaries have
been cut below the Blue Eagle
level for janitors will live up to
this tradition which the Ameri-
can teacher has created in these
hard times.
The one-time educational cen
ter may be too poor to educate,
but the teachers of Raleigh, how
ever poor they may be in pocket,
are still rich in heart. The chill
dren of Raleigh, as Of America,
will live to be grateful to those
who, least able to bear sacri-
|fices, do bear them and bear them
|courageously.
