Raleigh, May l5.--Thc Democratic

About the only thing these 1907
delegates are certain to do is adopt a
resolution pledging North Cardinals
26 national convention votes To Pres
ident Franklin d. Roosevelt for re-
nomination so long as his name is
before the convention.
Another virtual certainty is that
the convention will endorse the rec

| everywhere. He despised rude peo-
pie. He wondered what in the devil
he had meant, being rude to cute
little Tempe.
He started back downstairs to
find her and apologize, but she was
already back with the other five
girls on the sun porch. There was
a deal of hearty laughter. Bill real
lied it wouldn't be a moment to
apologize to anyone.
He turned again and went on to
his room. Inside he pumped down
on his bed and started to re-read
the script of Maid to Measure,
a Romantic Comedy in Three Acts
and Five Scenes"
But in a moment his mind was
wandering, along with his eyes.
His eyes had shifted so as to view
the ceiling. His mind was re-creat-
ing the scene he had directed on
the improvised stage downstairs.
Jeremy Tucker had kissed Gayle,
really.
It amounted to nothing, really.
Absolutely nothing. jeremy was
lust flustered. But he had kissed
her, twice more than necessary
ardently.
Bill Bailey tried reasoning with
himself. He told himself that he
ought, if anything, to have been
amused, to have laughed out loud
then and there. It's what he would
have done normally. Laughed. and
kidded both Gayle and Jeremy, and
let the incident pass for the trivial
thing it was. He knew, even now,
that Gayle thought nothing of it,
however embarrassed Jeremy was
when he fed.
But Bill couldn't dismiss it that
way. He just couldn't. His mind
refused to phrase it, but his heart
would not be budged; he knew,
deep in himself, that in a scant "a
hours he had fallen In love. He
knew it the instant he saw the
other man kiss her.
"If that Tucker was hit as hard
as I think he was, he'll be compe-
tition," Bill told himself. II ought
to have cracked him one-him
standing there kissing he- like
like-like "a"
Eie couldn't quite finish it.
Hatred was a thing foreign to Bill
Bailey. He wasn't good at it. Any
way, he was not only angry, he
was sadly confused; committed to
help make Jeremy fall for Gayle,
Bill himself had done the falling
Besides which, there was the prom
ised check for $4,000 if things
came out as old Mr. Merrifield
wanted them to.
Life can find diabolical ways OF
kicking a fellow around.

Finally Bill murmured, well,
III be cock-eyed damned" It was
an unlovely profanity for Bill
Bailey, who despised all cursing,
and so it was just as well that
Gayle couldn't hear it.
Happiness seemed to have drift
ed off up the chimney that day, SO
far as William Bailey was con-
cerned.
Work of the drama kept on, aft
err a fashion, but he had no heart
for it. The morning had waned
anyway, and Gayle said she would
90 freshen up a bit before lunch,
Lunch in the Merrifield mansion
was served promptly at IL.
So Bill just sat there on his box
for a while.
A casual observer would have
thought him studying the script
for Maid to Measure" which was
in reality a clever three-act play,
full of bright dialogue and snappy
love-action. 1t was ideally suited
to youth, a story of springtime and
gaiety and music.
Even now Graham, the butler
came in to say that the piano tuner
had arrived. "Okay." said Bill, al
though he said it not like Bill
Bailey, but like a coroner who had
come to view body.
He went with the tuner to the
Mortified grand, conferred briefly
about it, and told the man to dc
his worst.
You mean my BEST" the tuner
corrected, affably.
YEAH" said Bill.
Tempe Hyde came in then.
when do you want us to start
acting, Bill?"
Huh? Oh. Oh, after lunch,
guess. Yeah, after lunch"
"Bill?" said Tempe, quietly.
Huh ?"
That girl you took upstairs last
night and were nice to, the one who
cried in the car-she is ever Sc
grateful"
"Okay."
~ nean-she is! She thinks you
are grand, Bill"
"Okay."
Goodness! You sound like bad
news. I'm trying to tell you that
all of us girls think you are pretty
swell, and we are ever so grateful
for your kindness, and grateful tc
Mr.. Merrifield, and"
Milo to all that"
He walked away from her then
and he was half way up the stairs
toward his own room before he
realized he had been rude. He, Bill
Bailey, was never rude intention
ally. He had been popular athlete
in school. sought after. courtct

of counties are listed as having IN
structed their delegates to the state
convention to support a third-term
delegation to the Democratic nation
al convention, but they didn't all
adopt the form of resolution prepared
by the North Carolina for Roosevelt
movement.
Perhaps the most unusual resoIu-

term endorsement was passed by the
Duplin county meeting.
In its essentials it read like this:
I'VE recommend to the delegates
from this county that they follow the
leadership of our great Governor
Clyde R. Hoey in any resolution that
he has, or may hereafter, agree to
respecting the delegates to be elected

CHAPTER TEN

MR.. JEREMY TUCKER, scholar
and savant, discovered q cosm!c
phenomenon
It was written away back before
Caesars time, even, that kisses
are significant: and being broadly
read, Mr.. Tucker knew about them
in purely hypothetical sense. New
ertheless. kisses and pretty girls
alike were vague concepts in MS
consciousness.
There had been goods at the COL
lege he attended. Some had even
been scholarly. winning Phi Beta
Kappa keys as he himself had
done, and Jeremy felt that they
were to be respected. In short, he
would have admitted that women
are biologically essential to this
earth.
But that wasn't the idea this
nl>::::-..-,
This cosmic phenomenon he sud
denly discovered was, specifically.
that he himself could kiss a beau
tiful girl, kiss her right on her
red lips for no high purpose save
pleasure. And, oh yes, for dramas
sake. He was supposed to be act
ting.
That's what shocked him. When
he kissed Gayle Dixon there, he
forgot all about the drama. Despite
his earnestness, his attention was
focused on the fact that her lips
were soft and yielding; that her
arms and shoulders. while slender,
were still rounded in the most
esthetic possible way; and that
Gayle had a scent about her which,
however disturbing, was the most
potent force Of all.
He drew his head back to stare
at her, close range, as if she were
a sudden new specimen in his
laboratory. He still held her close
to him.
Gayle just had to do something
about 1t, eventually.
You wish-you want to run
through it again?" she inquired
1--WE do both need a lot of re-
hearsal, I suppose"
He wasn't thinking of that. But
it was an idea.
Gayle said her short speech,
which was the hero's cue to kiss
her and pour out his love, and
again Jeremy took the cue.
He kissed her a second time, and
the exaltation of it did not fade.
But he quite forgot the after
speech he was supposed to read. 1t
is doubtful if he could have read
anything. in fact. The script he
held quivered. Bill Bailey, acting
as director from out in the middle
of the big room, noticed that
For want of something else to
do, Jeremy then kissed Gayle q
third time. This time he was not
nearly so fluttc:T about it, al
though he did it hastily and seemed
to come to his senses all at once
and drop his arms guiltily. Gayle
never imagined that man could
blush so deeply pink. She herself
was fustered by it.
Then all at once Jeremy realized
what he had done.
Full force of the cosmic phenom-
enon seemed to strike him. He
stared at Gayle-at Gayle's lips.
"Oh" he suddenly cried. Distress
shone on him. Twelve got to
oh, excuse me"
Without further ado he turned
and fed. He ran to the nearest exit.
He almost tore through a door
onto the sun porch, but he didn't
stop there. He ran right on to the
lawn and disappeared in a clump
of shrubbery.
For an ageless moment Gayle
stared after him.
Bill Bailey, too, was staring, his
legs spread apart, his script in one
hand and the other hand on a nip.

county convention and just prior
thereto. A group of Horton support
ers thought up the bright idea of
beating the Roosevelt resolutions in
Wake so as to discredit J M Brough-
ton, home Town Raleigh. Then they
learned that some BrOughton back
ers thought it would be very good
idea TO beat the resolution on their
own hook; Whereupon the Hortonites
who first cOnc6cted the scheme pass
ed along the word that if the reSolu-
tons were beaten they'd give Brough
ton merry hoW-come because he al
lowed him home county TO do SO. Re-
suit was that almost everybody Vot-
ed for the resolution, which was in
toduced by Il Broughtonite and
backed by many of his ardent sup
pOrterS.

Mecklenburg led the counties with
1856 for the wear lust ended, followed
by Guilford with 254, Forsyth with
2l0, Wake with 1877, New Hanover
with 1862, Durham l57, Rowan l3l,
Robson 119, Rockingham and Gas
ton 1O7 each, and Wilson lO2.
At the other end OF the line Nit
chell and Yancey prohibit the sale
of beer, under authority Of local acts
passed by the 1889 legislature. Cam
den, Clay and Graham have only five
retail dealers each.
During the last year, the retail beer
licenses of &c dealers in 81 counties
were revoked by the courts and local
governing bodies--all but eight of
them on petition of the Brewers and
Distributors committee as part OF lis
Clean Up or Close Up campaign.
l.. J. Fourie, chief pullorum disease
inspector for the State Department OF
Agriculture, will attend the south
eastern conference of the National
Poultry Improvement Plan, schedul-
ed to be held in Atlanta on June 3
and 4.
States to be represented are North
and South Carolina, Georgia, Flor
ida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee
and Kentucky.
There is some speculation over
what relation, if any, there IS between
the fact that First District Congress-
man Lindsay Warren is renutedlv a
crony of Cactus Jack Garner and the
second fact that Warren's home coun-
ty, Beaufort, was the only one in
North Carolina to vote overWhelm-
ingly against the resolution instruct
ing state convention delegates to vote
for FDR's denomination.
Three other counties beat the res
olution, but in two Of them it was
by single vote margin and the other
was close. Repeatedly it was 100 to
49, against, in Beaufort.

Inasmuch as the Governor has al

posing solid support from North Car

second, they have an overwhelming

count for 81 per cent of the total

This is something they do not az
ways do, incidentally.
The convention votes are allotted
on basis Of one delegate for each
$50 votes cast for the Democratic
nominee for governor in 1886; and
on that basis the western half Of the
state gets Il preponderance Of
strength. That section cast the big
gest part OF the vote for Governor
HOey.
The division by Congressional dis
tricts shows that the Tenth is the
banner unit, despite its fairly close
division between Democrats and Re-
publicaHS. On the other hand the

overwhelmingly Democratic district
