would have known that things were
wrong.
To the boy she said: mo joking,
Bob. I married the goof. Don't ask
me why, for TIL never tell YOU"
They had reached the door and
Bob drew her back, and sat Gown
at a table.
Coffee, black. Lots Of it," he
told a waiter. Then to the girl:
"Are you giving true report? Not
going theatrical
But he knew that she wasn't.
There was a haunted, frightened
look in her eyes. It had caught him
that first moment in the drug
store.
"Listen, I have to helpw she
heard his young, frenzied voice
saying. ''Now, young lady, give!"
Corrinne shook her head, and the
hand she placed across the boys
was steady now, but cold. She
smiled, and it was woman's smile,
old, wise.
''No, darling. It's too late for
white chargers and rescue acts. I
made something of a fool Of myself
but I'll stick to the bargain" She
was frightened to death, and sick
at heart, but a vow was a VOW.
Hadn't her father taught her that
all her life?
What might have been said then,
Corrinne never was to know, for
the hotel manager came in, carry
ing a Chicago paper.
II was fringing danger the other
week and didn't know it," he said.
"Had q narcotic trafficker and his
wife - anyway a woman = regis
tered here one night. Look, that's
the fellows face in the paper to-
day."
Corrinne looked. It was Lynn's
face, with his crooked, debonair
smile and his amused, nonchalant
eyes.
"Your lodger~ Bob gasped.
$50 that's where I'd seen the
man." the manager began to pom
der. 'He seemed familiar that
night, but he had heavy coat col
lar pulled up around his neck and
a green felt hat down over his eyes.
I thought it was a strange get-up
for such night, but then, I sup
posed he was an actor or politi-
clan, trying to escape the public"
Another woman =.
"Was she ~pretty?" Corrinne
asked. !;
"No, sort of old and taking him
to account about something. I
mean, not eighteen, more than like
ly thirty-eight."
Bob was whistling, in surprise as
he continued the story. And now
Corrinne read, too. Lynn was the
head OF, the biggest dope ring in
the country. He had posed as a
magazine writer of business arti-
cles, thus gaining admittance to
factories where his henchmen con-
tacted him. ~ III III +
i So that accounted for the long
hours away when he had left her
or Sarah Anne watching q movie
while he went about his work. She
saw a picture Of his old car, and
read that he had disposed Of it asl
soon at the police learned its num-
Der. An accomplice, Punk Edwards,
had pretended to steal it to get i'll
safely away. An accomplice?

he married her? And who was that
other woman?

It wasn't the time for linen sun
frocks and sandals. She even picked
up the dark blue beret, white
gloves and blue bag that COM
pleted the ensemble.
AS she walked down the broad
white stairway she prayed briefly:
Dear God, please don't let it be
Corrinne whom Lynn married.
Please don't let it be-"
She knew, though, that it was a
useless prayer. Knew that she
should amend it and say: please
help me to get Corrinne out of this
trouble" ~ ~ ~ =
And.yet-raaybe C ofrinne wasn't
involved in, spite Of her curious
questions, and her hurt surprise
when Lynn's flowers had not been
for her.
There were pink-sprigged cur
tains at the l. v windows of the
dining room, and they were blowing
in the morning breeze. Only Cor
rhine sat at the table, playing with
a cold slice of melon. Her eyes were
heavy, as though she had thought
in the night, instead of sleeping.
"You were late last night" she
addressed her sister.
Now for the light note, the gay
note. No moralistic preaching. No

"And now they have him."

RETIRED MERCHANT
STRICKEN AT DUNN

Dunn, July 5.-Josepnus Jernlgan,
70, retired merchant and farmer,
died here late yesterday afternoon
at the home of a son, Fletcher Jer-
nigan, prominent Dunn and Erwin
business man.
Jernigan had been in i'll health for
the past few years. Recently he had
suffered three separate strokes OF
paralysis. His condition became
suddenly worse yesterday.
A native of Sampson county, Jer-
nigan spent most of his early life
near Dunn, but later moved to Dur
ham, where he operated a business
firm. He moved back to Dunn about
II years ago and had resided here
since retirement.

fidence. And besides-she never had
loved him. He had been fun, and an
escape from loving Bob.
"Corrinne, it may be funny, but
I can't laugh if you don't tell me
the reason" the boy with her was
saying.
She sobered instantly. Bob, how
much faith should one human being

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
WHEN SHE left the parsonage
Corrinne had one idea only in her
mind. She must get away. That she
would have to come back she did
not stop to remember. Nor could
she hunt for someone in whom to
confde. There was no one to whom
she could talk, but Sarah Anne,
and at the moment she did not want
to face her sister.
Sarah Anne suspects that I'm
the dupe who married Lynn-Robin-
whatever-his-name-is," she told
herself bitterly, jogging over the
street. ''But she's too courteous to
ask outright. I'm married to him
:MARRIEDw
She repeated the word through
drawn lips, as though even yet the
dreadful portent had not touched
her conscious mind. I'm Mrs. Lots
of-Names. But what did he do -?
Maybe the police are wrong. How
do I knoW?"
From force Of long habit she
drew up at the curb at the main
drug store, and started into the
shadowy recesses at its side to Or
der a soft drink. Here she had sat
so many times, puzzling things out.
When she had turned back the lead
in a class play, because the girl
who wanted it more was the daugh-
ter of a pillar Of the church, she
had come here to think. When she
had been troubled about a decision
between two colleges, she had had
three orangeades and made up hel
mind at the corner table. And
sometimes she and a high school
boy, a dime between them, had or
dered two straws and one glass
and made joke of their financial
plight.
But today she felt far removed
from that youthful hilarity. She
was a married woman whose fam.
lily did not know a thing about it.
Someone called to her. It was
Robert Ransom. For the moment
she had forgotten about him. He
belonged to that safe past. Of the
fact that his interest elsewhere ha6
sent her to Lynn Rhodes fol
companionship, she thought only
vaguely. ~
Robert looked embarrassed
Hello, Corrinne," he said. Then III
looked at her curiously. "Have yo1

game to the end, and then los'

Il Raleigh, July 5. The biennial re-

interesting sidelights on the deve-
lopment and progress of rural cleo

IS Perhaps the most extraordinary
thing shown by the report is the fact
that the Authority has never spent

custom for every agency to spend
right up to its last penny, if indeed
it does not over-spend.
