of the Mustang fullback, the ball
sailed from behind the Southern

Storm interrupted her TRADE. All
these recriminations are getting us
nowhere. Miss Hamilton" he turned
courteously toward the nurse, ARE
you in the habit Of carrying any
poison around with you?"
Audrey Hamilton looked up at
him, q slight frown touching her
white forehead.

fairly complete kit OF drugs with

They were oack in moment.
The nurse pulled open one of the
Zippered compartments of her bag
and drew out long, slim bottle.
Here it u.s." she began, and then
stopped incredulously. The bottle
was completely empty.
If Sheriff HUMPHREYS did not i'm
mediately place Audrey Hamilton
under arrest it was only because
Inspector Storm thought the move
would be ill-timed.
As he pointed out to the sheriff
after the room had been cleared
and the coroner sent for, there was
no direct evidence against the nurse.
Anyone might have had access to
her bag. which she asserted had
been left in the hall closet the day
before, and it was quite possible
that the nurses arrest might be
exactly what the murderer wanted
to bring about.
Besides" Inspector Storm con-
tinued, there's an unexplained
angle to the case. If Milo Shelton
bought that dagger in the curio
shop he must have concealed the
leather sheath somewhere-and
wouldn't be surprised to find 1t
right here in this room"
Together the two men began q
methodical search of the premises,
but their efforts disclosed nothing
until Storms eye happened to light
on the bag Of golf clubs which had
caught his attention when he first
entered the room.
IT'S just possible, he said, that
Milo was wise enough to make use
of the old psychological maxim that
the best hiding place is sometimes
the most obvious one"

Frank Neal. :.

The passing of Frank Neal removed one
of the old landmarks of Ashe county. He
was born and reared at a time when oppor
tunities were not present and outstanding
but had to be sought out and worked for.
He came of sturdy and sterling parent
age from whom he inherited many noble
traits of character, but none possessed the
indomitable will power and courage that
Frank had.
He was rather frail and not so strong
physically, but was bundle OF nervous
energy, pluck and perseverance, and had
the will power to surmount any and every
obstacle that crossed his pathway His op-
portunities were those of the ordinary boys
of his day, but he was ever alert IN max
ing the most of his surroundings and his
great desire to educate and fit himself for
a useful and business life was uppermost
in his mind at all times. This he succeeded
in doing and early in life started on the
voyage that led to success, notwithstanding
the besetments and handicaps he encoun-
tered later.
In young manhood he suffered brain
hemorrhage from which he never recov-
cred. He was partially paralyzed from this
brain lesion, but he never faltered IN his
energy or to be useful to himself and to
humanity. He worked when others would
have faltered and fallen by the wayside.
His habits of life were good and inspiring.
Dissipation and dishonesty were as foreign
to his nature and make up as the heaven
is above the earth. His whole life should be
an inspiration to any one who aspires to
lift himself out of the slough of despond
and be man to be re membered by his fell
lows.
For the past several years he had been
an invalid, but prior to this, his business
activities won the praise and admiration
of all who knew him., He possessed kind
ness, goodness, cheerfulness and all the
traits that enter into the makeup of good
and noble man.
Let others emulate his example and fol-
low in his footsteps.-(By DR.. B. E. Reeves,
lifelong friend, at the request of the edi-
tory

It would cost Uncle Sam very little to

opportunity of having their wis

Most of the applications were
secured from the schools which
have been checked by the health
department.
The clinic is sponsored by the
Jeffersons Rotary club in coope-
ration with the county welfare

No charge will be made for ex-
aminations which will be given
by a doctor sent by the State

in order to make it possible for
those children who would not
otherwise be able to do so, to Sc
cure the proper glasses. No glas-
ses will be given free, however.

The Spirit of Democracy

Nowhere is the democracy which is at
the root of Christianity so complete in its
application as in great charity hospital.
In Bellevue Hospital in New York, the
largest of them all, no account is taken OF
the race color, creed or nationality OF any
unfortunate who is brought there for nnedi-
cal or surgical treatment. The parable of
the Good Samaritan is put into practical
effect there.
In one of the corridors of the great new
buildings of Bellevue there are three places
of worship in a row. There is Protestant
chapel a Catholic chapel and between
them Jewish synagogue. Every patient
who is able and desires to do so can at
tend Divine worship according to his own
faith.
The other day the new Catholic chapel
at Bellevue was dedicated by the Arch
bishop The organ had not been completed,
but the rabbi in charge of the synagogue
next door offered the use of the Jewish
organ, on which the solemn strains of the
Roman Catholic mass were played.
That is the sort of friendly tolerance and
goodwill which symbolizes the spirit of
American democracy.
