Redouins HospitabIo

Besides being one of the pictur-

1t humiliating to ask his guest his

parently we were both on the way
to this Office to keep an appoint
ment with you, when We met in
the street almost in front of this
building"
Brooke's anger flared again at
Mark Trent's cool explanation. She
met the terrier brightness of Jed
Stewards gray-green eyes. She had
liked him when she had come tc
his office in response to the court s
amazing notification that she was
residuary legatee under the will OF
Mary Amanda Dane. The black and
white check of his suit accentuated
the rotundity of his body. He
pulled out his lips as he regarded
her with boyish entreaty. She
laughed.

"But that was before I had seen

brought hot tears of fury to her
eyes. Before she could rally caus-
tic retort, he picked up his hat.
That's a bully exit line. I'll be
seeing you. Jed. Hope you'll enjoy
the house and the fortune, Miss Rey-
burn. Happy landings!" He laughed.

You're such reckless person"
Hi! Fellal"
With an impatient jerk. Mark
Trent shook off the hand on his
sleeve. rammed his soft hat over
one eye, and closed the door
smartly behind him. Stewart re-
lieved his feelings in an explosive
sigh and pulled forward a chair.
THAT seems to be that. Sit down,
Miss Reyburn, while tell you
about the allowance which will be

CHAPTER II

From the lighted stage Brooke
Reyburn looked into the auditorium
of the department store in which
she had worked for four years. She
had begun by modelling sports
clothes, and because she had loved
her work and had given it all the
enthusiasm and drive there was in
her she had been promoted steadily.
The first Of this last year she had
been made head fashion adviser
and had been set to Paris. She
had made frequent trips to New
York, but never before had she
been abroad. Now she was talk
ing for the last time to a hall full
of women, many of whom she had
come to know by sight. She had
given her last radio talk. It was the
end OF her business career.
As she stepped from the stage,
Nine. Celeste, the autocratic head
of the stores department OF clothes
for women, stopped her. A hint of
emotion warmed the hard blue of
her eyes as she caught Brooke's
hands.
"Cherie," her French was slightly
denatured by down-east twang.
II shall lose my right hand when
you 60. Why did that meddlesome
old party want to butt in and leave
you money! You were on the way
to making it here"
II shall miss you, Nine. Celeste"
Brooke's voice was none too steady.
Perhaps you won't have to long.
In this here-today-an d-gone-tomor-
row age. money doesn't stay in one
pocket Remember. cherie. when
ever you want job, come to me.
You'll be needing one. Au revoirl"
Cheering thought that | may lose
the fortune" Brooke reflected, as
she approached her Office across the
hall. Suddenly the black letters:
MISS REYBURN
on the ground-glass panel OF the
door jiggled Enthusiastically.
She blinked moisture from her
lashes-she hadn't supposed she
would feel choky about leaving. She
opened the door, closed it quickly
behind her. and backed against IT
as a man slid to his feet from the
corner of her desk. His black hair
shone like the coat of sleek we'll
brushed pony; his dark eyes were
quizzically amused as they met
hers; his teeth we're beautifully
white; he was correctly turned out
in spic and span business clothes.
He was likable, but there was some
thing missing-rather curious that
never before had she felt it.

ly.
How did you get in here. Jerry

to come to my office"

Cuba Independent

On May 81 of 1886 a new treaty
between the United States and
Cuba was ratified. This treaty
superseded that of May "a, 1908,
and abandoned the right OF the
United States to intervene In the
internal affairs of Cuba under
the so-called Plat amendment.
Under the authority of this
treaty the United States had inter-
vened on five occasions. The re-
public of Cuba is therefore COM
pletely independent Of the United
States.

colleague; Could Not
Hold the Lead

The whaleEoat crew from the
Seventh Coast Guard District fin
ished third in the race held yes
terday afternoon at Chincoteague,
Va. in connection with the an
nual Pony Penning, according to
q telephone message received here
late yesterday.
The race, rowed over a two
mile course, was won by the crew
from the Fourth District, with the
Sixth District crew second and the
Seventh District oarsmen third.
The Seventh District crew,
which was organized only three
weeks ago and was rowing IN its
first race, started out strong and
led the other two boats at the
close of the first mile, but when
the other crews stepped up their
stroke during the last mile the
crew from this district could not
match them and gradually slip
ped behind.
The boys rowed a good race,
considering the limited practice
they have had, and 1 am sure
they will now buckle down and
give a much better account OF
themselves in their next race" J"

Five more were rescued by the
U. S. Arkansas, which was headed
down bay for Norfolk. Twenty
others were picked out of the wa
ter by steamers and small craft
which swarmed to the scene.
Course Undetermined
Cause of the fire was not de-
termined Immediately. EyeWit-
nesses ashore said that when the
blaze broke out it appeared as a
small red glow. A few moments
later, they said, the entire ship
was in flames.
The City of Baltimore'S skipper,
Capt Charles Brooks, was among
the rescued. He told an inspector
for the U. S. Bureau Of marine in
spection and navigation, that he
was the last to leave the ship and
that he believed none had perish
ed.
At Least Five Dead
Baltimore police, however, re-
ported at least five dead. They
said two of several injured or
burned persons brought to South
Baltimore hospitals had died and
that three bodies were found float
ing in the bay.
The skipper of the w. D. Sanner
said all the rescued aboard his
boat appeared unharmed except
for a few bruises.
The U. S. S. Arkansas said it
picked up one life boat with five
aboard and was proceeding to
Norfolk.
Captain Rescued
Capt. Brooks was rescued by c.
M. Twilley, who resides at Pine
hurst-on-the-Bay, just opposite
where the ship ran aground. Twill
ley noticed the blaze when it
started and Immediately put out
in his small crhiser. In addition
to Capt. Brooks he picked up two
passengers and a waiter who had
jumped into the bay. He said they
were slightly burned.
The City of Baltimore was about
two miles off shore when the fire
broke out. 1t was directly opposite
Pinehurst- on -the-Bay and not
far from Bodkins Point, about l9
miles from the heart of Balti-
more.

Controversy
Be Settled
Monday
Currituck Board and
Park Service Officials
to Meet Together

Coinjock, july 29.-The Wran-
gle over the Negro transient camp
located here will come up once
more and is expected to be set

gust 2. at the regular monthly
meeting of the board of county
commissioners of Currituck coun-
ty.
Officials of the National Park
Service. under which the camp is
operated, have beer invited to
attend Mondays meeting, and it
is thought that the county board
at that time will withdraw its re-
quest of a few weeks back to have
the camp removed from Currituck
county. Park Service officials al
ready have indicated their will
ingness to rescind last weeks Or
der calling for removal OF the
camp within 80 days, so it ap-
pears that Mondays meeting will
end the controversy for the time
being.
Since learning that removal OF
the camp not only would mean the
loss of a $5,OO0-a-month pay roll
but would also mean the loss of
proposed beach erosion contro.
prject for Currituck County, those
who originally favored removal of
the camp have had a change OF
opinion and have indicated a will

Mayor Forecasts
aCOld
Winter Season

The coming winter will be
a cold one, predicts Mayor
Jerome B. Flora.
The purple martins, which
are the mayors combined bar
ometer and almanack, left heer
on their southwark migration
last week, and that, he says,
is an evitable sign.
Last year they did not leave
until early August, and even
that was early, and called forth
a similar forecast from the
Mayor. True, his prediction
wasn't fulfilled but then there
was a hurricane which may be
taken as a substitute.
So with the purple martins
winging their way southwark
in late July Mayor Flora con-
fidently forecasts a cold, cold
winter-that is, if we don't have
another hurricane.
