started forward, but June freed her
self, and she said calmly:
''I'm coming, Aunt EVE. You
need not hold mel"
And she nodded to Clint in deep
reinsurance, and led the way to-
ward the waiting car.
Tope had promised to meet Clint
beside the road, on the way up
Kenesaw Hill, as soon as it should
be dark. 1t was still no more than
dusk when Clint took the road up
the hill; but at an angle the Inspec-
tor stepped out to halt him.

he said. sHe and Mr.. Tame stayed
with Mr.. Hurder during the funeral.

Go ahead, over the top OF the hill. !"
Clint obeyed; and Tope explained:
"Heale can't be here. He's laid up
"a bad cold from last night. But
he's lending us couple of men,"
And he said, half to himself:

People on North Cardinals Banks
Talk in Lingo of Queen Elizabeth

Inlanders who visit North Caro-
lina's primitive and romantic Outer
Banks meet many strange sights
and sounds, not the least of which
is the native dialect spoken by the
bankers who inhabit the narrow
rope of land stretching thread-like
from Norfolk, Va, to Wilmington,
N. c..
The dialect is a strange mixture
of native dialect and Elizabethan
English, spoken on Roanoke island,
Ocracole and other small fishing vii
lagos along the banks, and outsiders
who sometimes stumble into the
midst of this isolated colony are
likely to be amazed by the language.
If the outlander asks native for
information about the fishing there
abouts, he may be told that "a foine
tonne to 60 fishing is at hoigh
toide."
Because many other words and
phrases are so similar in texture
and construction to the phraseology
Of Queen Elizabeth's day, historians
and philologists believe there is a
distinct although unexplained con-
nection between the two.
Some contend earliest settlers
brought their native English speech
to the Carolina shores during the
days of Queen Elizabeth, and that
this has been preserved through

generation after generation of ma
tives who live on the "banks," sell
dom if ever getting very far AWAY
from their native hearth.
At Rodanthe they still sing the old
English songs and ballads that were
popular in the days of Ben Jonson
and Shakespeare. The ghosts Of
Spencer and Chaucer, of Beowuff
and Piers the Plowman are con-
jured up when one hears an able
and affable man spoken of as "be-
ing witted and couthe."
A plump, good-looking girl is
"throddy may" The old word
''fieech" means to coax or fiatter,
and when a man fails to keep an
engagement or do his part, he has
'scooped" you. +
When he dies he has "gone to lee
ward" and if he goes to 'the coun-
try he is visiting the mainland
across the bay.
Persons visiting the ''banks" are
told Of the "ghosties' where the old
wrecks lie scattered along the shore,
of hens that have "nesties," or men
who are "fitten' for certain services
because their ''mother wit" makes
them ''mindable." A flask Of whis-
ky win contain not a pint but a

wine is made is the ''wine" and not
the "vine."

the room, he could not see whether
the shade was drawn or not; but
he waited. striving to peer into the
blackness behind. the glass.
Once he looked down cautiously,
and saw TOPICS round figure hud-
died at the foot Of the ladder, TOPICS
round face watchfully upturned.
He then saw June and Mrs. Taine
come in, June with a lighted can
die. Behind them he saw Rab and
Asa in the hall, and Mrs. Bowdon's
ample form.
And then his heart suddenly was
in his throat; for Mrs. Taine had a
glass of milk in her hand.
Mrs. Leaford had drunk a glass
of milk that night she died; the Hur-
ders too. There was to Clint some
thing hideous and sinister in this in
nocent beverage now. He took an
impulsive step higher, his hand
raised to break the window in.
But Tope below him Kissed a
warning; and Clint leaned down to
whisper desperately: "Mrs. Taine is
giving her a glass of Milk"
''She won't drink it," Tope prom
ised. 81 warned her not to drink
anything, or eat anything except
what the others did,"
And Mrs. Tame suddenly, still
talking, withdrew.
June did not move. She watched
the door. Clint waited, his pulse
racing.
Then,safte a long minute, Tope
whispered: "Down!"
Clint was on the ground in an in
slant; and Tope breathed in his ear
"The door,"
Clint at first did not understand.
Then he heard the click of latch,
and toward the rear of the house a
figure did appear-Mrs. Tame, he
guessed. She walked brislzly away.
They saw her figure in silhouette
against the light when she opened
the kitchen door of her own home
yonder and went in.
Then Clint started to climb the
ladder again.
Careful" the old man warned
him. Don't show yourself above
the window-sill. She might see you
from over there"
But Clint could not resist looking
once to be sure June was unframed.
He saw her carefully propping a
chair under the door-knob; saw
that the milk stayed untasted. She
secured the door, and then blew
out the candle, and so came to the
window and opened it. She leaned
here above him, and he whispered:
Cali right, June?"

Aunt EVE gave me a glass Of
warm milk. To make me sleep,
she said. I promised to drink it
when was in bed"
''She's gone home," Clint told her
reassuringly.
"Home?" the girl exclaimed.
'She said she was going to stay with
him. He's all alone. I'm going in
"No," Clint insisted. ''Rab and
Asa are Stlll III the mouse. ana she
coming back. Give me that milk,
June. ! want Tope to taste it."
She brought the glass and gave it
to him. He said: "I'll be right here.
All night"
''Poor darling!" she whispered.
''1n the rain"
"Near you," he told her. 81 shan't
feel it,
He took the milk down to Inspec-
tor Tope. The old man dipped a
finger into it, touched the finger to
his lips. "Can't taste anything" he
said. "But I'll send Rand to have
it tested, right now" And he direct
ed: "You stay here!"
Clint nodded, and Tope started
away. He moved past the corner of
the house; and suddenly, when he
was six PAGES off, he stumbled over
something lying in the uncut grass,
and fell heavily. Clint heard the
breath 60 out of him with a grunt.

THREE SUFFERED HOUSES
-===By BEN AREs WILLIAMS

The young man moved swiftly to-
ward him; but before he could come
to TOPICS side, the Inspector was
on his hands and knees.
Clint whispered: "Hurt?"
And Tope said gravely: There's
another ladder here. / tripped over
it," He added ruefully: Spilled the
milk. That's bad!"

There was dreadful clamor in his
ears, his own pulse was pounding

"What happened?" she asked.
'The Inspector fell down." he said
reassuringly. Didn't hurt himl"
He climbed to her window, and her
arms held him fast, her lips trem-
bling against his own. "You mustn't
be afraid" he urged.
'sI'm coming back to you tomor-
row." she declared.
sFor good and ALL" he agreed.
She said wistfully: "You could
come in here, out of the rain" And
she urged: 'They've left Grandpa
Hurder all alone. / want to 60 to

But he said sternly: mo. Maybe
that's what they want you to do.

again. Good night, sweet" he
said. "And sleep sound"
He descended to the ground once
more. 'Mr. Hurder's alone" he re-
ported to Tope. ''She wants to go
to him. / wouldn't let her"
Then June spoke, whispering,
above their heads; and Clint was up
the ladder in a bound.
"Rab and Asa have gone into
Grandpa's room," she explained.
"Asa wants to stay with Grandpa;
but Rab's arguing about it. can

man don't often kill woman unless
he loves her, or has loved her."
They passed the two houses which
still stood atop the hill; but Clint
scarce noticed them. "You mean
Mr.. Leaford?" he cried, in incredu-
lous establishment.
'But a woman don't mind killing
another woman" said the Inspec-
tor grinnly, as though finishing his
thought; and Clint looked at him
with wide startled eyes.
Before he could speak the ques-
ton in his mind, a man appeared
in their headlights, policeman in
uniform; and they stopped. Tope
opened the car door.
Hello, Rand" he said. doctor
still there?"
The policeman nodded. Sand I've
got the ladder" he reported. "Hid
it over in the woods
"Good man." Tope approved, and
they got out and waited, till pres
emily Doctor Cabler in his car came
down the road. He stopped at a
signal, and Tope spoke to him apart
in low tones. When the Doctor
drove on, the Inspector returned to
them, and he explained:
"Mr. Hurder is better! Tomorrow
will tell the tale, whether he's going
to live. The Doctor thinks he will.
He's given the old man something
to make him Sleep"
The house ON this side all was
dark, except that there was light
ed window in the kitchen. Tope was
az the rear corner there. The win
dow-blind was drawn; but by NOV
ing out little from the house, Clint
could see rectangle of light where
the window was. Some one was pre-
pairing supper - talking, probably.
Tope stood just below the window,
as though listening.
Inaction began to madden him,
when at last there came an Incl
dent to relieve the strain: a door
opened; someone came out.
Clint saw that this must be JUS
tus Taine, a heavy figure of man,
walking with head bowed. He saw
this man pause yonder by the ash
filed cellar of the Hurder house
and stand for a moment beside the
pit as though in some dark recov-
cry, before he went on.
Later a light appeared in the
Tame house, behind a curtained
window; then nothing happened for
a while.
Clint had time for thought, and
he remembered his own suspicious
of Justus Tame, and was glad Tame
was no longer here in the house
with June. But-Tope had dismissed
Clint's theory, and the young man
remembered this, and his nerves
drew taut again. When someone
touched his elbow, he leaped like a
startled horse, ready to cry out, but
Tope whispered:
flush, steady, sonl''
Clint nodded; he tried to speak,
but his voice croaked dangerously.
He lifted the ladder, Tope helping
him; and they leaned it against the
window-sill above them without q
sound.
Clint climbed 1t instantly; he
stopped with his head level with the
sill. Since there was no light IN
