u. N. G. Alumni Make Up
Third of Legislature
(Ccntinued From Page One)

(CCntlnucQ from rage One)
1888 mark.
Running a distant second are the
Wake Forest alumni in the legisla-
ture, of whom there are %, just one
half the Carolina total.
Way back in the also rams come
the other colleges, Duke sending on
ly an even dozen of its one time stu
dents into the legislative halls, while
State and Davidson trail far behind
in the "Big Five" race with only
seven each.
Importance Of these figures lies in
the fact that they show what a ire
mcndous start anything pertaining to
the good Of the University has from
the first time it is suggested to the
legislature. On the question of in
creased appropriations for Frank
Graham's pride, for example, it's safe
to say that one out of every three APP
perpetrators start off with kindly
leanings toward making them.
Which is not to say, of course, that
these law makers would stick out for
bigger funds in the face of facts max
ing them out of the question, but it
is certainly no handicap to the Uni
versity in getting them.
Another quite warranted con-
clusion to be drawn from the fig
ures is that the North Carolina legis-
lature is no collection of hicks and
hill billies sent up to Raleigh by
ignorant folks back home. Only one
fourth the House and less than one
sixth the Senate lack whatever adj
vantages a college course may give.

This percentage, it is a good guess,
will compare favorably with that of
almost any State legislature.
Figured on an alumnus per capita
population, Wake Forests record is
probably the outstanding compiled
by any college-a fact undoubtedly
due tc the existence of fine law
school over where old Doc Gulley
still holds forth. A high proportion
of Wake graduates are, therefore,
lawyers, and a high percentage of the
legislator is always composed of
lawyers.
Figures were obtained by going
carefully through the N. c. Manual
for 1889, compiled by Legislative Re-
ference Librarian Henry London and
the biographies contained therein.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

THE TRAIN ride to Brighton
and what Jim expected to be their
new home was Lona's first expert
ence in Pullman. For long time
she lay awake, her head on Jims
arm. listening to the grinding of
the crowded intimacy Of the tiny
berth had opened his store of men,
cries, Jim talked to her as he had
never talked before.
He told her Of his childhood in
the western hills. He talked of
herding cattle and of round-ups,
rOdeos, words that to her were only
printed names. He loved horses, it
seemed, and dogs. They were to
have dog when they were settled
in their new home, he promised her.
A big, knowing, friendly beast that
would be real companion to her.
None Of your stringy lap dogs for
MIN.
She could have lain there in
his arms listening forever, she
thought. In the shaded half light
she studied his features as he
talked. Relaxed, he looked boyish.
The crinkling lines were smoothed
out from around his eyes, and he
smiled a little as he talked. She
would like to have son some day
who would look like he did now,
she caught herself planning, and
blushing at the thought while she
bravely pursued it. A fat baby with
curly brown hair and brown Tiny
eyes.
Lulled by the song Of the grinding
wheels and the wonder of her own
dreams, she almost lost track of
what he was saying, when she was
aware that he had turned his eyes
on her with a new intentness, and
that new, strained note had come
into his voice.
There's something I've been
thinking ever since I saw that pic
ture back in Fairfield" he brought
out. tits about the name Of Clar-
idge :" He hesitated.
1.-THE name of Claridge? What do
you mean ?"
They're on to it now. Maybe we

body might-remember. Going into

starting all over, maybe it would be
easier if we used some other

bounded, and stared at, and talked
about. You're my wife, now. I'm

A cold hand took hold Of Lona's
heart. So that was the way Of it.
"You shouldn't have married me,
Jim, if you felt that way" she said,
in a still, hurt voice. I'm sorry
you're-ashamed Of me-"
Ashamed of you, girl? But you

TRACY BOY is

Wayne Buzzell, 10, of Tracy is
alive today after narrow escape
from death by hanging.
1t happened last week when
Wayne, with some other boys,
was playing indians" in the Buzz
zell yard. Young Buzzen decided
to portray the role of captive of
the Indians; so, going into the
garage nearby, he suspended a
rope from a rafter, fashioned a
newly-learned hangman's knot in
the other end and slipped the
moose around his neck, while
standing on coaster wagon few
feet Off the ground. After the
moose had been put around his
neck, his foot suddenly slipped,
sending the wagon from under
him and leaving him dangling in
mid-air.
Lee Dano, Is, came upon the
scene and hurriedly freed Wayne.
After several moments, the boy
was revived from unconscious
ness, during which his face and
tongue had already begun to
show signs of near-strangulation.
