freckle-faced, red-headed Sally
Gordon, loved a man I bad known
lust three days and who didn't
care one whit for me.
don't know what had been said
while those wild, horrible, delight
full thoughts ran through my mind.
But when I came back to normality
every one was leaving the room. I
looked up to find Lancys eyes on
mine. A speculative light cleaned
in them. found myself blushing as
holly as though caught in reck-
less indiscretion. Some way,
couldn't rid myself of the belief
that that detective had the power
to read my mind.
Come with me, Sally. 1 want
you." Josie's voice reused me. With
an effort I tore my eyes from
Lancy's steady gaze and rose to
my feet. I could hardly walk. [ was
as teetery as sub deb on her first
spike heels.
With a strong effort I brought
my mind back to the world around
me. What can I do for you,
Josie ?" I asked.
She slipped her arm through
mine and guided me to the terrace
door. The fresh sweet air blew the
remaining confusion from my be-
unused brain and I sank into q
chair beside her with a sigh Of
sheer thankfulness.
Sally, I believe Captain Lancy
thinks either Orion or Barry killed

I stared in surprise at her wor-
ried face. I couldn't See any reason
which could enable her to come to
that, to me, unfounded conclusion.

Then, as I still looked perplexedly
at her, she added:
Didn't you hear what he said
about them ?"
II don't think So" I admitted
IT was thinking of something

She looked at me curiously.
"He said the knives had each
been found in it's proper place, but
that one of them could have been
used. We were here in the house.
I don't see how the knife from my
study could have been taken, used

Timber Is Grown
AtGood Profit In
Portion of State

College Station, Raleigh. Oct "a
Can a farmer grow timber at a
profit?
That is a question which r. W.
Graeber. extension forester Of State
College. answers with an emphatic
ives" He cites results Of Is demon
STATIONS conducted this year IN the
State by farmers in the coastal plain,
piedmont, and mountain sections, 10
prove his contention.
"What's more, those IS farmers
and scores of others, are actually
eating their cake and keeping it by
thinning out OVercrOWded and dis
eased trees and leaving full stand
of healthy trees with a better chanc!
to grow" Graeber declared.
Summarizing the reports Of the Is
demonstrations (reports made by
farmers themselves), the Extension
forester said that they averaged l25
percent net annual return from the
timber projects. They cut an average
of $50 cords Of wood per acre from
28-year-old stands Of timber and left
379 trees, or 32.42 cords Of wood, per
acre on the plots.
The value of the 800 cords Of
wood cut averaged S2.67 per cord
based on current fuel wood prices as
given by each farmer. Figuring their
cutting cost at an average of 81 cents
per cord, this left them a net value
of $1.85 per cord for the wood, or
$16.46 per acre.
Graeber also said that the farm
ers who conducted the demonstra-
tons reported an average tax valua-
ton of the land S19.64 per acre, and
the average tax rate per 500 in the
counties where the timber was cut
was 1929
The forester said that the timber
stands AVERAGED producing 1.47 cords
of wood annually.

Or. Peake, you left the others

something had frightened her"

II met Josie, Rhoda and Duncan
coming around the corner of the
house. They thought the scream
came from the direction of the run.
We wasted some time trying to de-
ciGe where it really did come from,
then started back toward the run.
Before we got there we met Sally
and Orion. We talked; then I went
to the run. Paul met me just as I
got there. Orion came over and
suggested we look in his cottage,
as mother had agreed to see him
that evening. In about ten minutes
Duncan came and told us" His
voice trailed off into silence.
Could those searching questions

through my mind like binding

Heels Given
Big Hand On
Tulane Game
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir tsIaIi-ar Hotel.
By HENRY AVERTLL
BY J

Raleigh, Oct 24.-In last Satur-
days football games involving Big
Five team, Carolina got the biggest
hand for its gallant rallys to tie
Tulane; Wake Forest got the big
gest score, the adding machine IL
nally stalling at Sc against Western
Maryland; Duke got a satisfying
victory over Syracuse, 33 to 6; but,
rather paradoxically North Caro-
lima State, whipped 21-6 by De-
troit, got the biggest break Of the
bunch.
This came in a game completely
disconnected with the Big Five, or
even with the South-the Du-
quesne-Pittsburgh affray in which
the Dukes upset BOWser's boys 81
to 10.
Another paradox about the thing
is that States break comes from
the fact that it will be playing these
very Duquesne fellows, victors over
the mighty oanthers.
1t is a break and a very lucky
break in two respects. First, it will
make defeat by 'Duquesne much
less bitter. To be beaten by top
pier of the mighty is much nicer
than being trampled by Just anoth-
Ell football team. Then, secondly
and Of much importance to the State
Athletic Association, the Duquesne
victory should be worth at least S.

packs business office
