Obituary
Thomas X. Luther

If mere words could describe
the life of Thomas K. Luther,
the task would be easy. But for
a man so highly esteemed as he
words are hard to find to rightly
express his life. He was a
man who never burdened others
with his troubles, although it
seems he had more than his
share, all during his life, as we
can see by the following facts:
Thomas K. Luther was born
August 10Th. 1873 and grew to
be strong young man. He
learned that farming offered the
most independent living of any
vocation. Hard work and long
hours did not brighten him, for
the green grass, the growing
corn, and ripening wheat were
enough to make Mr.. Luther heed
There were approximately
$4,000 unoccupied dwellings on
North Carolina farms in 1915

CHAPTER XIII

1t was ten o'clock. Belle Fleur
seemed strangely silent. Lotus
stood on the broad gallery out
side her bedroom and saw the
stars reflected with startling
clarity in the waters of the SWIM
ming lagoon. From the bayous
came the hoarse croaking of
frogs and the occasional plaintive
Whimper of a swamp owl.
Stacy had not yet returned
from New Orleans.
His father, Lotus thought and
hoped, had retired to his own
room with a book.
She wondered suddenly if this
wasn't the moment to do a little
shopping. The servants, to all ap-
pearances, were in their quarters
behind the house and she would
have the spacious old rooms to
herself.
She had seen Stacy use flash
light that was kept in a drawer of
the first floor hall table. She
would need it for what she plan
ned to do. AS she tiptoed down
the hall, light cleaned from I'M

der Curtis Corbin's door. She
found the flash and decided to
examine the library first.
She played her light over the
room and examined the contents
of the massive library table
drawers. 1t seemed a purposeless
search, as she was not sure what
she was looking for. If Corbin
were a dope smuggler, he could
have dozens of hollowed-out
books filled with the stuff and
she would have to examine each
one separately to find out. 1t was
much too big task for one per-
son.
The door to Curtis Corbin's
study was open and she moved
across to it. Den was rather a
contradictory term to apply to
this room she decided, for it was
easily as large as the library.
She moved the bright spot of
light across the walls; and eyes
cleaned back at her!
The walls were covered by the
stuffed and mounted heads of
various animals; it was their
CLASSY, taxidermists eyes that had

frightened her.
Quickly, she rifled through the
contents of the desk. The papers
all referred to business deals
which meant nothing to her. She
moved the light around again.
This time it fell on a large pack
ing box, from which excelsior
and shredded newspapers pro-
truded.
She peered in and gasped
The boa constructor lay coiled
up in its bed of straw, its skin
cleaned naturally. Though she
knew it was dead, it was several
moments before she could bring
herself to examine it.
Leaving quickly, she tiptoed in
to the dining room and obtained
a steel knife from the buffet. Re-
turning to the boa, she ripped out
several of the stitches with few
quick jerks and reached into the
opening.
Her fingers closed on more ex-
celsior. Though she continued tc
feel around, stuffing was all her
exploring hands contacted. With
a deep sigh of disappointment
she returned the snake to its
original position.
Suddenly her ears caught the
sound of soft, shuffling footsteps
defending the stairs, Curtis Cor,
bin was returning to the library
Suddenly, the front door was
thrust open and Stacy came in
Hi Dad!" He sounded as
though he were forcing himself
to be jovial.
Curtis Corbin's answering voice
was cool and deliberate: "Wel
did you make any progress?"
"Of sort. Aline and her grand
aunt are coming out here tomor'
row for three-day visit"
There was a strained silence
Nov, listen, Dad, Rosa is not
bad. She's just different from
your brand of feminine society,"
"That's neither here nor there
There's no way we can explain
her presence here. The Cartier
women will be insulted. It'll ruiz
everything"

nance is your idea, not mine"

culiarly acquiescent to every
thing he said.
In a moment the elder Miss Car
tier entered from her own bed
room.
Her voice was inclined to be
high and at this moment indigna-
ton made it shrill
''Aline, I'm astonished at Stacy
inviting us here when that Miss
Kirkman is around-it's sheer eff
frontery!"
Hush, she'll hear you"
"Oh, I've nothing against the
girl personally-she's really quite
pretty and charming, but a caba-
ret entertainer, and unchaperon-
edw
But Mr.. Corbin explained all
that-he said she was sick and
had no friends or any place to
CO."
''Humph! Looks healthy enough
to me. And Curtis Corbin doesn't
strike me as an exactly kind
hearted individual"
There was pause, then Miss
Cartier said in a querulous tone,
What were you and Stacy talk
ing about in the garden all even
ing?"
HE wants me to marry him,
Tante."
Marry you, Ell? Let me look
in your eyes, child-you're not
deeply in love with him, are you
Aline?"
'Noooo, but it would mean get
ting Belle Fleur back in the fam
ily."

While thinking of his life's
work, he was also thinking of
a home of his own. So on Jan.
LIST. 1899 he was united in mar
riage to Maize Gertrude Phipps.
They lived together about four
teen months and nineteen days
and enjoying the blessings of the
Lord. Then the master saw fit
to call Maize to her eternal home.
He was left with the care of the
home but he met all this with
courage. Finding it hard to carry
on without the help of a mate
he was married to Vina Church
on May 9th. 1880. Mr.. Luther
was converted December 31st.

Baptist church, May q, 1896, and
was baptized. He was treasurer
Of the church a good many years.
His deeds were an example of
the true Christian. He said he
was ready to go, and on March
%, ended life that was a
bright light for the neighbors
and a life of human helpfulness.

There was an ugly pause. When
next he spoke, Stacy's voice was
modified.
well, they practically insisted
on coming-there was nothing l
could do. I'll fix things up o. K.
I'll give them a sob story about
Rosa being sick and alone, and

Shed BETTER" Corbin's voice
rasped, cor we'll find some other
solution for her."
The next afternoon Lotus
watched the arrival of Aline Car
tier and her spinster grand-aunt
from her own gallery.
The aunt was a finely-drawn
portrait of what Aline could ex-
pect at sixty-slight, erect, with
an aristocratic head borne proud
ly on her slim, aging shoulders.
Curtis Corbin strobe down the
terraced brick steps to greet
them.
Lotus noted with amusement
that he had undergone a strange
metamorphosis of character. Now
he was very much the gentleman
of the Old South. He had dOnned
a silk pongee suit and flowing
black tie. In his fingers was the
ever-present expensive Havana
cigar-Which was not an affecta-
ton. He bowed low over Miss Car
tiers hand, as though he were
about to kiss it. Evidently the
same idea occurred to the older
woman, for she withdrew it from
his warm clasp with haste.
Lotus shrank back into the
shadows as the foursOme neared
the house. Her thoughts were
seething. It had never occurred
to her that the Cartier family had
been the previous owners of
Belle Fleur. And considering the
diSpicable manner in which Cur
tbs Corbin had acquired it, how
could Aline and her grandaunt
bring themselves to visit her?
Stacy must have done his job we'll
evidently Aline had fallen head
over heels in love.
When the group was in the
house, Lotus slipped down the
stairs and across the grounds to
her rendezvous with Stu Law
renee.
He was there in the pirogue,
looking as ill-kempt and fierce as
ever. His eyes were an amber
color and from the shadow of the
cypress and the sWarthineSs Of
his bearded face thew peered
back at her like some wild
beasts. To her dismay, she felt
her heartbeat quickened at the
sight of him.
