AT THE sound of that high
pitched voice, every one of us was
startled into unnatural stiffness
Cary, interrupted by the words.

two in silence, before dryly con-

Il think that proves my conten-

His last word was scarcely ut

across Miss Althca's now unintel

Somebody come quick! Through
the door under the stairs, she's
locked the other one!"
GO, go!" Captain Essex fairly
pushed Cary. VINO promptly raced
away.
Janet and Kaye followed. Kaye
stretched ont her hand and caught
mine as they passed, l yielded to
her imperative tug and rushed
along with them, grateful for her
compelling clasp, for my curiosity
was at white heat.
Out the door we dashed, down
the hall to the stairs, through a
door beneath them which had sup
posed led into a closet, through an
alcove, into Miss Althea's room.
The scene before us I shall not soon
forget.
Miss Althea, her last remnant Of
dignity gone, was struggling wildly
against Cary's restraining grasp,
while Mark, on his knees, was pull
ing papers and books from the
barely smouldering fire.
She had defeated her own pur-
pose. BY pi!ing too much onto the
low fire, she had smothcred it. the
one thing which saved from de-
struction the papers she now was
struggling to regain.
Cary's face was grim. Mark S
bore a broad smile. For all his
aunt's frenzied jerks from the digs
and dahs at Cary, it was to Mark
her furious dcnunciation still was
directed. A fact which amused him
nightly.

The captain, with Mrs. Gouhl's as
sistance, was crossing the room.
Bang, bang, bang! The humping of
the cane, his words uttered in a
loud, commanding tone-anger had
renewed his waning strength
coWed Miss Althea. Her struggles
ceased; her voice died into silence.
No one spoke. AS clearly as
though I had witnessed it, l knew
that Mark had caught his aunt at
tempting to burn the papers, the
last Of which? he now drew from the
fire and laid upon the hearth.
Answer me" Thump went the
cane. The captain moved nearer his
daughter, raised his cane and
brandished it in her face. Although
he had ordered her 20 speak, he did
not wait for her to reply.

and Proctor Rand's voice echoed:

I looked across the room at him.
On his face was what thought to
be honest hewilderment. Whatever
his father might be doing, Proctor
certainly was not implicated. Only
very clever actor-and I didn't
think him that-could so accurate

me of that.

Kaye, younger, of more volatile

her words after Janet's reproof
that she, too, would stand by
Cary's side.
You said. Granddad, that you
had rever opened the chest. How
can you be so sure that it was not

Cary's voice was deferential, but
it failed to placate the old captain.

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BY HENRY AyERHI,

Raleigh. Dec. 21.-There will be
introduced in the 1871 General AS
sernbly uniform enabling act for
the Interstate Parole and Probation
Compact: but unless the two Tar
Heel commissioners most concerned
work up more enthusiasm than they
now exhibit, it will not get much
further along the road to enactment
In fact, it might not even be in
troduced.
The legislation's laudable purpose
is to establish full cooperation be-
tween states in the supervision and
control Of PAROLES and probationers
living outside the jurisdiction in
which they are paroied or placed on
probation. It has been adopted and
the resultant compact signed by 81
states.
Both Parole Commissioner Edwin
Gill and Probation Commissioner
Hairy Sample are in sympathy with
the ideal OF every state cooperating
with every other in parole and pro-
baton work; but neither is convinced
that the so-called compact" by anv
means brings about that degree OF
cordially which is devoutly to be
sought.
As a matter of fact, they point out,
many of the states which so en-
Enthusiastically adopted the act and
signed the compact have no state pa
role or probation systems, with the
result that the pact is an idle and
meaningless gesture.
This situation exists in the two
bordering states, South Carolina and
Virginia, with which the MeSSr5. Gil.

Summing up, then, big business

That would be enough to cause no

the additional possible spread is con-
