Dislike Idea
Of Diversion
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
BY LYNN INSET

Raleigh, March 4.-The group so
strongly opposed to diversion of high
way funds hasn't been heard from
much the past few days, although
they privately declare that they aren't
through fighting. There are other
kinds of diversion and several bills
have been introduced this week to
counteract diversion tendencies.
Representatives Morse Of PasquO-
tank and Davis Of Dare offered a bill
which would require the Depart
m Of Conservation and Develop
ment to keep funds received from
the sale Of hunting licenses separate
from other moneys of the depart
ment. Not more than ten per cent of
these receipts might be used for fire
control, the rest to be uoed purely in
propagating and conserving game in
the State.

cation Of Warren county folks came
to Raleigh to protest against the fact
that their county paid over $4,000
in hunting and fishing licenses, and
got back less than half that in any
kind of service.
Representative Horton of Martin
sent up bill permitting the taxing
authorities of his county and the
several towns in it to exempt from
taxes foXhounds which are hunted
in packs of eight or more. This bill
applies only to Martin and does not
affect state revenue. 1t is of state

interest, touching upon a tender spot
in several departments, that being
the practice of collecting license fees

ear-marking for specific use, and

the general departmental funds. The
bill has been reported favorably and

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Iona INSISTED upon leaving
Bridgewater Immediately after her
fathers funeral. Despite the kindly
efforts of the old minister and his
wife to persuade her to remain
with them for a rest, she felt she
could no longer stand the place,
with it's familiar scenes and it's
memories.
After that last pitiful visit to the
churchyard it was haunted; she felt
that she had done with it forever.
She never wanted to see the place
again. It was as if she had written
fms to a chapter of her life, a dark,
fateful chapter, with which she
was glad to be done.
It was with that feeling Of final
ity uppermost in her mind that she
listlessly made the train ride up
to the city the morning after they
had laid her father to rest. She was
surprised to realize that, on the
whole, she felt relieved. The
thought of her father sleeping back
there in the churchyard beside the
mother she could scarcely remem-
Der was much less terrible, now
that the shock was over, than the
thought of him shut away, living,
in that gray stone horror of
prison.
At least he wasn't suffering, eat
ing his heart out for her. She could
feel easy about him now. She could
plan for the future with a free
mind. The worst had happened and
it was over. She began to be anx-
ious to get back to work, and to
Jim.
She half expected to find Jim
waiting for her in the station where
she had parted from him-was it
less than a week ago? An absurd
little wave of disappointment took
hold of her as she scanned the
milling, big-city throng, in vain, for
MS FAMILIAR face. Then she smiled
Wanely at her own childishness. OF
course he couldn't possibly be here.
She hadn't notified him she was
coming back so soon. Besides, it
was noon, and he would be at work.
After the SNUG quietness of
smaii-toWn Bridgewater, filled for
all its peaceful surface with de-
Vourlng eyes that had followed her
every move as if she were some
rare sort of animal on display, the
lmpersonal hustle of the city
streets was welcome relief. The
feeling of strain that had ridden
her every minute since she had left
Jim on this very platform lifted for
the hrst time as she hailed a taxi
and, giving her boarding house adj

was now. With sudden resolve she
gave it to the taxi driver.
It took all her nerve to force her.
self to walk unconcernedly into the
familiar lobby and ask the clerk
for a room. AS she took up the pen
to sign her name to the register,
her hands trembled. For a moment
she was tempted to sign an alias,
any name but her own, but her
pride interviewed. Carefully shield
ing what she was writing with her
left hand, she traced a bold Iona
Alderman" and with toss of her
head added defiant, "Bridgewa-
ter" Her heart came into her
mouth as the clerk scanned it cas-
ually and, without a sign of recog-
milton, handed her a key from the
rack behind him.
Once upstairs in the privacy of
her room, she sat down Imply on
her bed and gave way to the feel
ing she had been carefully keeping
in check. That woman, how dared
she! Decent house," she had said.
AS if she were something-un-
clean. Was she never to get clear
of this thing that was haunting
her? Would it follow her like this
always? Even here in the city she
had been so glad to see this morn
ing was there to be no peace?
She sobbed there on the bed for
a few minutes in utter wretched-
ness. Then sitting up, she wiped
her eyes with sudden determine
ton and, getting to her feet, stood
before the mirror. Deliberately she
forced herself to obliterate the
traces of her tears and to tidy her
loosened hair. After all, what was
one spiteful woman in whole city
full of people! Why let it get her
down? Not everybody was like
that old cat!
Picking up her phone she put in
a call for Mrs. Peterman's board
ing house. In a steady voice she
left directions for Jim to call her
at the hotel as soon as he returned
from work. The sight of his lean
face and the sound of his drawing
voice across a dinner table was
what she needed.
Hesltating, she almost made up
her mind to call Mr.. Sanders at
western Realities and tell him she
would be on the job in the morning.
But she thought better Of it and,
putting on her discarded hat again,
she decided to go and see him in
person. At least, she told herself,
she'd have nothing to fear there!
The typewriter at her desk was
choking under the fingers of a
strange girl when she opened the
door OF the Office. From his end of
the room Barney, the Office boy,
stared at her blankly for a mo-
ment, then brought out a hesitat-
ing Hello, there!"
His blue eyes wavered before her
glance and went quickly to the
otner girls bent head, and back
again.
rs Mr.. Sanders in ?" Iona asked,
ana Barney ducked his red head
toward the inner office with an air
or what looked like relief. AS she
passed his desk, she saw her own
picture staring up at her from the
paper he had flung down hastily at
ner entrance, and her face burned
IN sudden apprehension. Was it
possible that even here her
steps Jagged as she reached Mr..
Sanders door. It took courage to
open it. She thought Of the words
the landlady had screamed at her
only a little while back, and
squared her shoulders as she
marched into the room.

"This is a decent boarding house

eyes flashed, and her lips curled.

'Look at them newspapers" The
stricken look in the girls eyes
brought the Woman's voice up de-

Flouncing to the table where she
kept the house supply of news

COOLEY is ASSURED OF
ACTION ON MARKETING

Washington, July 13.-(AP) :
Senator Reynolds, Democrat, North
Carolina, assured Representative
Cooley, Democrat, North Carolina,
today he would seek early senate
consideration of house = approved
amendments to tobacco marketing
quotas of the 1888 farm act.
Cooley, who backed the amend
ments in the house, conferred with
the senator on the matter following
a department of agriculture estimate
this years flue-cured tobacco crop
would exceed billion pounds, a
record crop.
The amendments would authorize
the agriculture secretary to call a
tobacco marketing quota election
among farmers any time during the
selling season of leaf instead of wait
ing until November.
Cooley, saying an election this
year was apparent due to the size
of the crop, said he hoped to get the
amendments enacted to insure an
earlier vote. If quotas were voted
in, they would not affect this years
crop but would restrict 1910 sales.

Even while she spoke she knew
she was putting up fire-screen
with her words, to keep from any
new hurt. For f1eeting moment she
had memory of a long row of
youngsters who used to sit in the
last pew at church on Sunday evo-
ming. That group had congregated
weekly until some over-zealous
ushers had broken the symmetry of
the plan by reserving seats for
themselves in that pew.

the right, because she was the
