THE FAlTHlfipCTOR. A Subscriber of tbe U rioA Republican Visits the South Carolina' Faith Healer’ and Writes of Hia Experience. .• -V-,* - -\fc • Mr. Editor:—Hayit»g seen- sever­ al newspaper cUpping^iiyour paper: about the-widely “advertising' fajth Doctor of Kershaw,» C.,“ I,. will give you a little accouiit of my trip to this supposed . wonderful man’s home in the •>. sandhills of’ S. C. After seeing a piece in your- paper copied from' the; StatesvUle-LsiSid-' mark, telling of the wonderful cur­ es of some of the citizens of States­ ville giving their name and SddreSs I decided to go on and lopk them up and talk Svifhj them about his woaderful power Whichi didr:. One young man told me that he had-been both blind and deaf and had taken tht faith cumt treatment andwhen I saw him he could hear iveryweli and could see very, well and Could see to tell thetime by a watclu He and his people and neighbors seem­ ed to carried away by the result'-df their treatment and of cdursehrged me to and cocsult'thedocterpb they called him; I being a s^ereryof one of the worst diseases that, hum­ anity is heir to, which is -ASthma,! I proposed to my old frieiid and neighbor Bidy Millerwho can scar­ cely walk on acdount of rhnfiaatisih that he accompany me on the Snip, which he accepted. So bright and early on the morning of Oct. 2pth, we got into, our Fprd' addrtbrted on our jouraeyby the .way' which proved not to be a very short ;ptie going by the way which proyedmpt tobe a way or-Cl'emmohs dowh' -tnfOugh Damdson county, by way of Reeds and Tyro on to the.L.toil bridge, through Spencer, Salisbury and oh through quite a number of nice lit­ tle cotton manufacturing towns, on by Charlotte, Pineville and on to Lancaster, S. C. Oiif next town of any importance- was' Kershaw,, which is several miles'below Lahd- s:aiter. The reason we consider Kershaw import, is because it it the last town that we are directed to, it being Dr. Sheborns P. O. From here we have yet fourteen. miles to travel through almost nothing but cutover land covered with small bushels that stand thick in the white sand. Dan’t look like they have grown anything in years. The last few miles are the most difficult of any we have had to encounter. The sand makes travel more diffi­ cult with a car than our mud. A1- bout four o’clock in. the evening we pulled up to a little hut sur- roundee with people and automobil­ es which is our destination. We soon enquired for the Faith Doctor and were directed to a very com­ mon looking man who had just got a few moments leisure-and was going to a little reffeshment stand a few steps from his door, for some refreshments, saying that it was his first chance to-.eat or drink since midnight before. We told- him of our Asthma and rheumatism; He ordered a young man to write us- each a presciption. which was about the same, it being .castor oil taken internally and applied extertnally. This man has been described entir­ ely different by some- people to my description. He seemed to be a verykmd, unassuming man and a man of few words, spoken in a-kind, voice. Our prescription handed us We asked him whangs* was. His answer was • ‘I make-ho charge. If you give me anything-;: alrigh, and if not alright.” We.both gavehim a small fee. I uotieed^peopLe there were with crutches and • canes and it looked, as if there: were ,people from all walks of ltfe. From ap pearances, the well to do the poor, the old and the young were there seeking relief from souie-dK.ease pr other. Not seeing any very invi­ ting placed to spendj^e gight - we The Testing Time. ' • We are in'the testing right now; Fpf the past four orfive years busi­ ness had been good; - I t avas not °uiy easy to. to make -a. wrong, but ft was hard to keep Trom^makiag money. - Affluensed rolfed- in; on folks who all their lives .were Karil tP put to'It_to keep the wolf from the-door.

Men -who! thought. themi selves r rifcfi, - are facing poverty.; iy-pannpt meet their obligations!; The merchants are in the hands of their creditors. The manu'facturt ers; 'are without orders, wage-earnT ers are living on half pay and farm­ ers are finding no market for theiii produce. Now is the time;’for re­ ligion to show its worth.

The average man may .not think so, but a job may be just as honor­ able as a position. Beginning with the war a high tide carried the country along until a few weeks a- go. Everbody was making money. Now the tide no longer runs so strong. In some industries fac­ tories have closed or are’ operating on part time. Detroit, one of the wonder cities of the last decade, now finds itself, according to state­ ments of the’Board of Trade and of M ayor Jaines Couzens, With 60, poo men our of work. And yet there are good jobs that go begging. “Out of 265 jobs,at a street-clean, iag, '$6 a day,'and garbage collect­ ing paying $6.50, only eight were accepted,’ ’ said the Mayor. ‘ ‘The unemployed apparently don’t want jobs; they want positions.” The most honorable thing in life is work; Indeed, work is life. Cleaning street or collecting garbage may uot. be to one’s likiiig.' but it is a' good deal more creditable for a. man to take such a job than through idleness permits himself and those, depend­ ent upon him to suffer.—rLeslie’s.

In the courthouse an Irishman stood charged with stealing a watch from a» fellow citizen. He stoutly denied the accusation, and brought a counter­ charge against the accuser for assault and battery committed with a ,frying pan. The judge was inclined to take a common-sense view df the matter and, regarding the prisoner, said: “Why did you allow the prosecutor, who is a much smaller man than your-, self, to assault you without resist­ ance? Had you nothing in your hand to defend yourself?” “Bedad, yer honor,” said Pat, “I had his watch, but what was that against his frying pan?”—London Ideas. Thousands Save Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected. . Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has b een very successful In' overcomingconditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is scon realized. It stands the highest for its remarirable record of success. Au examining physician for. one of'the prominent Life Insurance .Companies, In an interview on the subject, made the as­ tonishing statement that one reashn why so many applicants for insurance are re­jected is because kidney trouble is so eommon to the American people, and ’.the large majority of those whose applica­tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.

Revives Lace Making. The lace making industry of north­ ern France is gradually reviving. Be­ fore the war the French lace work­ ers. were centered in Valenciennes and Bailleul areas, both of which re­ mained under almost constant shell fire during the entire war. First the German shells wrecked the humble cottages and the busy mills, then de­ struction was completed when the al­ lied cannon harassed the retreating German troops. Now after four years of economy the world is anxious to see the pretty things which character­ ized feminine dress before the tragic days of 1914. The lace workers of Irehind cannot satisfy the demand, and even if they could the Irish lace doe3 not appeal to all tastes.

From time to time a photograph ap­ pears, depicting a new airplane of compact dimensions and equipped with a low-power engine. Such air­ planes are generally hailed- as “every body's” airplane and the coming “fliv­ vers” of the air. Yet an' examination of these machines soon discloses the. fact that they are of little practical value. They are too small to be steady in flight, too low-powered to' fly under moderately adverse conditions, too flimsy to last long, and, taking it all in all, absolutely worthless for se­ rious work of any kind. They should generally be treated as novelties, ex­ cept in rare instances.—-Scientific American. Wateh Cuticura Improve Your Skin.

But - he would not stay there; he insisted- on backing up against the wall. “Finally I appealed to Mrs. Stanley: ‘Why will not your husband stand where-I put him?’ ‘Simply,’ she said, ‘because he is. afraid some one will stick him in the back with a spear.’ “The habit, acquired in Africa, of protecting himself by standing with his back against a wall was too much for Stanley even In thmsafety of a New York afternoon .reception.” Indlgeetlon produce, dlsasrreeable and sometimes alannlns symptoms.

STEAD - (Continued from last week.) ! It was not dreadfully colcS, but the sky seemed only a vast turmoil of snow. ‘ Darkness came down very ear­ ly, bat at last Harris begnn to -recog­ nize familiar landmarks close by the •trail,’ and Just as night was settling In hs drew Into the partlai shelter of the beach on tlie bank of the coulee. The horses pulled on their reins per­ sistently for the stably l>ut Harila forced them up to tlie house. His load shout was whipped away by tlie wind and strangled In a moment, so he climbed stiffly from the wagon and pulled with numbed hands a t the double thickness of carpet that did service for a door. He fancied he heard a sound, but could be sure of nothing; he called her name again and. again, but could distinguish'no answer. But at last the fastenings which' help the carpet gave way, and he half walked, half fell, Into the house. The. lantern burned dimly, but it was not at the lantern he looked. In the farthest corner, scarcely visible In "Mary, Mary, Don't You Knqjv Me7" He Cried. the feeble light, stood his wife, and. at her shoulder was the gun, trained steadily uptfn him. “Mary Mary, don’t you know me?’ he crfed. ^ She dropped her weapon to the floor, where it went off, harmlessly buying Its charge In. the sod wall. “taiank God, oh, thank God I" she exclaimed. ' He threw off his wet overcoat and . -rushed to her side; Bat she sat silent on the bed, staring absently at the light flickering uncertainly in the wind from the open door. He hastily rearranged the carpet, then, returning to her, he took her hands lnhis and rubbed them briskly. But she still stared vaguely at the light Suddenly' a thought came to him. He rushed outside, to find'that the horses, of their own accord, had taken shelter beside the stable. .Here from the wagon he drew , a little bundle and hurried back to the house. She was sitting where tie' left her, shivering Blightly and watching the. play of the' light as It-flickered up and down the wall. He ,tore the. package open and spread, its contents before her. ' \ At: first she took no notice, but gradually her eyes found the-outline of soft ,cloth and - dainty feminine de­ vices.- -With, a great joy he watched tlie color returning as her set face re­ lazed In a smile of Inaffable tender­ ness. ' Sherralsed her face to his and slipped her arms about his. neck, and he knew that for the moment he had snatched her out of the valley of the shadow. v. : s> Harris made no'more attempts to market his wheat that winter. His wife's' health now became his first con- . slderatton, but, .even had there been, no such problem^ experience had shown that nothlne - was to be gained -by making the long and expensive trip to Emerson. .The cost of subsistence vt man and. team bn >the way devoured all Qie proceeds of-the wheat; indeed, 'tliere were Instances Ipn record in the settlement !where men' who attempted -such trips: during the jwinter actually CS me back poorer than they left, while those who . could show a gain of a bag • of su£ar, a sack of flour, or a box of .groceries were-considered fortunate indeed. “What shall we eat?” said Harris'to his wife, when, .after a full discussion,. • Jtesvas d' coaidta ".Oh, we shall not suffer,” was her ' calm'reply. “We have over 500- bush* els of wheat” ., “But we can’t eat wheat I’!. f :' “ Hn not so sure of that I heard Mr. MtCrae say that lots of families - had wintered on wheat' IndeedVbolled • wheat is 'gbmethlhg of a dellcacy.-Bven - the best city families rarely have it,. ^although it is more nutritious Ctah flour and nractueasier to prepare." Harris thrilled ;with Joy ,over fils wife’s-. Viyacityi ‘ Hie. strange gloom.. . that ‘oppressed her so much of late had cost hlm maPv anxious fionrs. “So, In high spirits, they planned for their winter. Thfere were long hours, and little diversion,’and the deisolation of bleak, snow-bound prairies on ev­ ery side, but through it air they kept up their courage and their hopeful-. ness. IIary spent much time with her needle, from which. John, when'he felt., she was applying herself too Closely, beguiled her to a game of checkers or an hour with one of their few but'val­ ued books. ~ And there were frequent visits and loibg evenings spent about a cozy Brft when the Morrisons, or the Grants,'or the Hlleses, dropped In to while f.way the time. The Httlfe sod house was warm and snug, and as (he mou played checkers while the women sewed, what cared the pio­ neers for the snow and the cold and- the Wind whistling .across tiie plains? •* . * * * ..* * ♦ * At last came the crisis: At 4 In the aftemoon-Harris kissed his wife, an affectionate • farewell, . hitched his horses to the sleigh, and started out. post-haste for PlalnvlUe. He drove by way of the Morrisons, where a: few low words sent Tom to the stable at a trot to hitch his' own team, while the good wife bustled about In the ‘!room,” almoot overwhelmed with the Importance of her mission. ‘I will go for the doctor, Jack, and you.go back and take the wife with you,” was MdSrlson’s kindly offer, but Sforrls would not agree, ilt was dark jy this time, and he felt that he could :rust no one else to make the Journey ;o Plainvllle. Besides, there/was more than a chance that Dr. Blain might be Incapable, and In that case it meant a drive of SO miles farther. “It’s good of you, Morrison," he said, “but you are more used to your wife’s bidding than I am, and you can be of good service there, If you wilL” And without waiting to argue he sprang into "his sleigh again and was whip­ ping bis team into the darkness. “Night, Harris,” said the landlord, who had a speaking acquaintance with avery settler within 20 miles, “ye’re ■Irivin’ late. Ye’ll base a bite of: sup- Jer an’ stable the team?” “No, Hank, not tonight, thanking you the same. But I’m after Dr. Blaln, •ind Vm In a hurry. Is he here, and— [s he At?” There was an anxiety In the last words that did not escape the ■host . “Nothin’ ser’ous, I hope? Frost, or somethin’?” Then, without waiting for ’ reply, he continued; “Yes, doctor's here. Upstairsi bed to the right as ye go up. Just got In a little back. 'As for fit-rdlg .’im out an’, Judge for your­ self.” Harris lost no time scaling the lad­ der which, led to the- upper half-story' of the building. It was;; a garret— nothing better—where the cold stars looked through knot holes In the pop­ lar shingles, and the .ends of the shin­ gle nails were tipped with frost An­ other wall lamp burned uncertainly here, flickering In the wind that whis­ tled through the cracks in the gables, and by its light Harris, found “the bed to the right” The form of a man lay diagonally across it, face downward, with arms extended Sbove the head, and so still that Harris paused for a moment In a strange alarm. Then he slipped his hand on the doctor’s neck and found it warm. ... "Corhe, Doctor,” he said, "I want you with me." But the sleeping man an­ swered with not so much as a groan. “Come, Dr. Blaln,” Harris' repeated, shaking him soundly. “I want you to go home with- me.” He ni’ght-have .been speaking to the dead. , In sudden exasperation he seized tlie doctor b'y the shoulders, and with one heave of his mighty arms set him. up­ right on the floor and shook him vig­ orously.) Dr: BlaIn opened his eyes and blinked uncertainly at the.; light. “Whatche doing,. Harris?’^ he said at “Watche Doing, Harris?” ; • length, and the recognition brought, a thrill of hope.; “ 'S no use.* .*■*■ Cfofc tft deep it off. ;*S no usgkgtirris*'..’S jio use.” And he crumm®feipiliL:?the bed., • ,C : V -:x Z ':' But -Harris was desperate. - VNow I’m not going tdfool withhyou,” he; said. '!You got up and come wIOi .me or- I’ll' take. you. Whiclris it?” • ’ But the doctor only mumbled. "’S no use” and fell heavily to sleep. Throwing open hls coat to get free motion for his :arms, Harris in a: mo­ ment wrapped.the sleeping man . in a .couple of blankets from the bed, threw him' over his shoulder,, carriedrhim down the rickety ladder,1 and deposit-: ed him,- none too gently, in jfte^Bleighi There .was a-mlld cheer froro 'taegrieii about the stove Over tliese fierolc measures, and one of them thoughtful-. Iy threw the doctor’s satchel into the sleigh. The next moment all were.: lost In tlie darkness. Harris drffVe for an hour, watching the trail keenly In the whitish mist of the winters night, and Jirging the' horses to the limit of ,their exertions. JBfe had -almost forgotten his. passen­ ger when he felt a stir In- the-bottom of the sleigh. • looking, down closely he found the doctor-trying' to extricate a flask from one of- his packets. With a quicfe wrench he took :it from him, and would have thrown vit into thij - snow, but the thought struck him; that. It might be needed^ and lie put It into his own pocket. The doctor struggled to his feet “Say, Harris, you're friend o* Wln^' but don’t take, too many liberties, see? 1S no use tryin’ without It. Jush give- me that b'ottlfe now, or I’ll get out an* go .home.” ■ Harris was so pleased at theslgna of returning coherence that he could have hugged the doctor, but he only Jaid, “You’ve had enough for tonight.- And you won’t get out, because if you try to I'll knock you senseless In the . bbtfom of the sleigh.” After, that the doctor remained si­ lent for some time, Tlien suddenly he demanded; “Shay, Harris, where you takin’ me to, anyway?” '.'... “I’m-taking you to.niy home” . “Wha’i for? You’re all right, I guess * * *” Suddenly the doctor stood erect. “Harris, is your wife sick?” _ . “That’s why I came for. you.” “Well, wliy the devil didn't you s.ay so? Here, give me tliat ;whip„ Har­ ris, Harris, >vhat did you waste-time arguing for?” . . : “I didn’t waste much. The argu­ ment was" mostly1 on your side." “Harris,” .said the .doctor," after a long silence, “you. think I'm a fool. .You’re right. ; it Isn’t as thongb I didn't know. I know the road. I’m go­ ing, and tlie end thereof. * * * And yet, In a- pinch, I can pull myself together. Tm all right now.

A Nashville, Tennesee dispatch "says- % After being in political retrement for 25 years, and with more than a' third of a centry between his first and second races for Governor, Al­ fred Alexander Taylor, familiary know as “Alt'” Taylor, waged a various campaign which ended with bis election. Mr. Taylor was past the three score and ten mark when he enter­ ed the the race for Republican no mination in the primary of August 5 las-t. In the beginning many Tennesseans, who knew him sim 'ply as the brother of “Our Bob” late Democratic governor and sena­ tor from Tennesee, looked upon his campaign as hardly a matter for serious consideration. This view underwent a stump and. began an tactive campaign. It became evi-' dent that it was a man’s race prac­ tically all over the state. So “Alf” Tavlor woke up on his 72rd birth- day to find himself the Republican nominee for Governor of-Tennessee " for the seeond time in his life, Taylor’s first race for governor the most famous affair of the kind - in the history of the state: On June 18,1886, the Republican state com ention m^t in Nashville, and the late Richard W. Austin for se- = veral terms congressman ironi the p second Tennessee district nominated Taylor for governor. , The Democratic state convention met on August 11, 1886, and after considerable jockeying nominated ' Robert I/. Taylor, “Our Bob,” for governor on the 15th . ballot. Thus it was that Tennessee’s^war of the roses was set going.. The two Taylor’s-made a tour of the state speaking to immense crowds. They hammered the op­ position party and poked fun at one another, but wound iup each day with brotherly effection unimpaired. After a tour of the Sequathie valley in the course of the campaign the two stopped at Bridgeport, Ala., for the night as guest of a Mrs. Jones, who had heard them speak that afternoon at Jasper. 1 The gcod woman was greatly impressed with the consideration the brothers show* ed each other, not only in debate at Jasper, but about the hospitable fireside at her home, the next morn­ ing she gathered from her garden two bouquets of roses.one white the other red. Returning she--found Alf and BQb waiting to say good­ bye. To each she presented one of the bouquets. 11I want you to accept these flow­ ers gentlemen,” .said the warm­ hearted hostess, "for the sake of your mother; I knowthat she must be proud of her boys who can be politicians and still be brothers; I know that her heart is with you and that her.blessings follow you.’’ Bob Taylor received the white roses and All the Red. - Thereafter during the campaign, . Bob- .TajrIor was known to newspaper fame, as “Knight of the White Rose*,’’ and Alf as Knight of Red Rose,” and Robert still was known , as the Knight of the White..Rose,’’ for renomination as United States sen­ ator, in 1906.

As if there were not enough suf­ fering inx Europe to keep every charitabiy inclined person in , an anxious frame, of mind, along comes China with one of the great fatn hies which periodically occur in that country. • In certain provinces of China where some fifty millions' of people live when they can, twen­ ty millions are said to be ..starving. For four or five years the crops there have, failed and theie is no food for man or beast. People are eating leaves and weeds, some are selling their children and commit-1 ting suicide, thousands are slowly dy:n? of starvation. Hete in our own land people are complaining of hard times. Busi­ ness is dull and crops are not bring­ ing high prices as they did last year; we cannot buy as many silk shirts and automobiles as we think we ought to have; some are not even able -to subscribe for their county paper and are in a dickens of a fix altogether. People who want a living now are in many cas­ es forced to do a real day’s work occasionally before they can get it. The Government has about quit hiring three men to do the work that one real worker can do, and the labor unions are no longer able to strike every three or four weeks and get their wages raised. In fact the times are out of joint, so some folks say. While pondering over our troub­ les though, we might as well' bear in mind that nobody is, Nehucliad- nezzar like, eating grass, that there is more^ wheat ahd ’ corn aficT meat in this country than we can pos­ sibly eat,, that there is plenty of coal iii the mines, trees in the for­ ests, fish in the ocean and consid­ erable work at fair wages for those who want to do it.—Beaufort News. ^«§5 between the^Eaylor brothers ended-in the Noveinb^rr 'el^ction bf: 1886, with Robert thefvictor.

I will more jealously cherish my heritage ■ as a citizen of the Reptiblic handed down to me through the services and sacrifices of my fathers. I will study the history,' the traditions, the ideals, the underlying princi­ ples of my country, and from the heroic lives of the great men who have made it what it is. I will draw my inspiration as a citizeu. I will seek to promote the welfare of all rather thad merely of myself, and will place the general good a- bove selfish demands of my. own group, crowd, clique, occupation or '1Cla=S." I will try to serve my country in peace as bravely and un­ selfishly as so many others have served it, at the sacrifice of blood and treasure in war. I will try; by keeping my own doorstep clean to do my part in making the whole nation cleaner: By treating all my fellow Americans fairly and square­ ly, I will do my part to word estab fishing the. "square deal” as the accepted policy of .my countrymen I will be as quick to commend right doing by public servants as to con­ demn wrong doing: As zealously in supporting public in honest .and efficient service as in denouncing those who fail to do their - duty. wilFkeep my country first in my thoughts, honoring its name, serv­ ing its interests, obeying its laws, and seeking to make my thoughts and deeds worthy of the high call­ ing of an American' citizeu, and helping to make my country , here­ after, as it has beeu before, an in fiuence for the advancement and betterment of all human-kind.— Young America. Mr. Editor:^—I wish every school teacher in the county would type write the above resolves and tack it up in a conspicuous place, in ev­ ery school room in the county and have some scholar read it out every morning to the entire school and then comment on the patriotic words of: “Young America.” With the above principles well grounded iu the minds and hearts of Young Americans we will have the gronnd work of good citizenship implanted in the minds and hearts of the fu­ ture, makers and rulers of our great country.

I would appreciate it if you will’call on nie when in town in order tliat I may get ac­ quainted with you as soon as possi­ ble, because my work will be to dis­ advantage until I do know you. Then too, the only way I have of knowing your immediate wants is for you to tell me about them. I will occupy the same office that Mr. Reece had anH I will be glad for you to call on me any time. Make my office your- headquarters when in town. You will find, the most, of the latest farm papers and journals in my office that wiU be' a pleasure as well as a profit for you to read.

GENTLEMEN:-- ; Several inquiries have recently, come to us concerning the likelihood of an­ other reduction in the price of our cars, and as these inquiries no doubt eminate from prospective purchasers, we want to state again with greater emphas's that Ford-cars are Edready being sold at a figure actually below cost and for an indef­ inite period another reduction or change in design is entirely-out of the question aud not at all contemp’ated. ~ We believe the public will be fair enough to fully appreciate the frankness of the above when they consider the extent of our recent price cut which was in Z fact the equivalent of several reductions in one, in our des’re to contribute to­ ward -satisfying their demands for lower living costs notwithstanding our sacri­ fice in-marketing'oiir cars at a loss until we are able to materially reduce present costs through lower material'prices and greater manufacturing efficiency. While we have-of course made some progress in bringing down operating costs,.we still have a long way to go before any thought can'be given to fujfther' redactions in present car prices, so we have no hesitancy in making these open statements to acquaint you with the true situation. Youcan thereforegiveassuranceto prospective purchasers of Ford cars that ni>w is their real opportunity to buy bk!o\\r cost and obtain delivery. Every­ one is familiarswith the heavy demand for Ford cars in the Spring and this year will be np exception, as in spite of conditions, business is already -rapidly accumu­ lating, so that many who desire Ford cars will be obliged to wsiit perhaps until mid summer for delivery causing- considerable^ inconvenience and possibly finan- cialHl^s, particularly to commercial customers. . ?

BY ROBT. J. C. STEAD , (Continued from last week.) . The men all wore blue overalls, dark blue or gray shirts, and heavy boots. They were .guiltless ot coat or vest, and tossed their light straw hats on the water bench as they passed. There was a quick splashing of greasy hands at the wash basin,-followed by a more effectual rubbing on a towel made froui a worn-out grain sack. The hired man paused to change the water and wash his face, but the others pro­ ceeded at once to the table, where no time was lost in ceremony. Harris helped himself generously to meat and vegetables and having done so, passed the platters to his son, and in this way they were circulated about the table. There was no talk for the first few minutes, only the sound of knife and fork plied vigorously and Interchangeably by father and son, and with some regard for convention by the other members of the-family. John Harris had long ago recognized .the truth that the destiny of food was the mouth, and whether conveyed on knife or fork made little difference. Mary, too, had found a carelessness of little details both of manner and speech coming over her, as her occasional “ain’t" betrayed, but since Jim had joined their table she had been on her guard. Jlm seldom said anything, but always that quiet smile lay like a mask over his real emotions. When the. first Insistent demands of appetite had been appeased, Harris, resting both elbows on the table, with knife and fork trained on opposite . corners of the ceiling, straightened himself somewhat and remarked r "Allan an’ me’s goln’ to town to­ night; anything you want from Sempr >w’s store. Mary?” “That lets me in for the cows,” said Beulah. “You were in town night be­ fore last, too, and it was 9:30 before I got through milking." “Oh, well, Jim wa'a away that night,” said Allan. “Jim has enough to do, without milk­ ing cows after hours,” returned the girl, “What do you want to go to town for again tonight, anyway?” “Got to get more coal,” said Harris. “We’ll take two teams, an' ItH be late when we get back." “I think It’s all nonsense, this day- an'-nlght work.” persisted Beulah. “Is there never going to be any let-up on n r “Beulah, you forget yourself,” said her father. “If .you’d more to do you’d have less time to fret about It. Your mother did more work In one summer than you have In all your life, an’ she's doin’ more yet” "Oh, Beulah’s a. good help," Inter- / posed MaryT “I hope she never has to work like I did.” “I guess the work never hurt as," said Harris, helping himself to pre­ served strawberries. “Just the same, I'm glad to see you gettln’ It a bit easmr- But thls younger generation— it beats me what-we’re cornin’ to. Thinkin’ about nothin*; but fun and gaddin’ to town every night or two. And cio’es—Beulah there’s got more clo'es than there were In the whole Plainvllle settlement the. first two or three years.” “I got more neighbors, too,” -Inters jected the girl. Then springing up, she stood behind her [father’s chair and put her arm around his neck. “Don’t be cross," Dad,” she wjils- “Don’t Be Cross, Dad," She Whispered. pered. “Tour heart's In the right place—but a long way Jn.” He disengaged her, gently enough. As Beulah said, bis heart was all right, -bufe.”- iQDg fop^ifeaffgePirrflve years ^jjpptehed battle'W ^^^^^|tances— sometimes In victory, SoinetImes In de­ feat, but -never In .despair; always -with a load of expense/about him, al- ’ ways with ’the problem of Income and outlay to be solved—had made of Har-: ' rls1 a man very different from the young Idealist-of ’82.v-During the first years of struggle for-a bare existence Iur some, way .the flame of Idealism' BtIU burned, .but, with the dawn of the “bet­ ter ti-aies” there came a gradual shift­ ing of standardsfinfl a new'conception . «£ essentiala. . ,Tiie crops lof the early Tears were Qnprofitnbte on account' the great.-distance to ..inatket; later,! . SLhenJhe iaUwa^.caine to thelr doorft the crops were still unprofitable, owing to falling prices and diminishing yields due to poor cultivation. Then came a decade during which those who stayed" In the country stayed because they could not get out, and It became a cur­ rent saying tbat the more land a man farmed -the deeper he got In debt. Then came the swing of'the pendu­ lum. No one knows just what started It prosperltywRi-cls! Some said It was that the farmers, disheartened with wheat growing, were applying ■ them­ selves to stock, and certain Ifr is that In “mixed farming” the community eventually found Its salvation; others attributed the change to Improved ag­ ricultural implements, to improved methods' of farming, to greater knowl­ edge of prairie conditions, to .reduc­ tions in the cost, of transportation and enlarged facilities for marketings or to increasing world demand and higher world prices for the product of the farm. But whatever the causes—and no doubt all of the above contributed —the fact gradually dawned upon the settlers that land—their land—was worth money. It was the farmers from the United States, scouting for cheaper lands than were available In their own communi­ ties, who Srst drove the conviction home. They came with money in their wallets; they were actually prepared to exchange real money for land. Such a thing had never before been heard of In PlnInvilie district- But a few transactions took place; lands were sold at five dollars, six .dol­ lars, eight dollars an acre. The farm­ ers began to realize that land repre­ sented wealth—that It was an asset, not a liability—and there was, a rush for the cheap railway lands that had so long gone a-begging. Harris was among the first to sense the change In the times, and a beautiful section of railway land that lay next to his homestead lie bought at four dollars an acre. The first crop more than paid for the land, and Harris sudden­ ly found himself on the way to riches. The joy that came with the realiza­ tion that fortune had knocked at his door and he had henrd was the con­ trolling emotion of his heart for a year or more. But gradually, like a fog blown across a moonlit night, came a sense of chill and disai>pcintment. If only he had bought two sections I If at least be had proved up on his pre­ emption, which he might have had for nothing! He saw neighbors about him adding quarter to quarter.. None of them had done better than himself, but some had done as well. And In some way the old sense of. oneness, the old community interest which had held the little band of pioneers to­ gether amid their privations and their poverty, began to weaken and dis­ solve, and In Its place came an Indi­ vidualism -and a materialism that measured progress only In dollars and cents. Harris did not know that his gods had fallen, that- his ideals had been,swept away; even as he sat at supper this summer evening, with, his daughter’s arm about his neck, be felt that he was still bravely, persistently, pressing on toward the goal, ail un­ aware tliat years ago he had left that goal like a lighthouse on a rocky shore, and was now sweeping along with the turbulent tide of Maminon- ism. He still saw the light ahead, but tt was now a phantom of the Imagina­ tion. He said. “When I am 'worth ten thousand I will have reached It;" when he was worth ten thousand he found -the faithless light -had moved on to twenty-five thousand. - He said, “When I am worth twenty-five thou­ sand I will have reached itwhen he was worth twenty-five thousand he saw the glow still ahead, beckoning him on to fifty thousand. ; To stop now might mean losing sight of his goal, and John HaiTls held nothing In heaven or earth so great as its attain­ ment - So, gently enough, he disengaged his daughter's arm and finished, his sup­ per In silence. As soon as It was ended , the men started for "the barn, and In a few minutes two wagons rat­ tled. noisily -down the trail. Beulah helped with the supper dish­ es, and then came out with the milk pails to the corral where the cows, puffing and . chewing, complacently awaited her arrival. But she had not reached the gate when the hired man was at her side and had rSllpped one of the palls from her arm. _ -, “Now, Jim, I don't think that’s fair at all,” she said; 'and there was a tremor In her voice that vexed her. “Here you’re slaving all day with coal and water, and I think that’s enough, without milking cows at night,” But Jlm only smiled and stirred a cow Into position. __ " There was a tuneful song of the tin palls as the white streams rattled on their bottoms. - - "Jim,” she said, after.a while, when the noise of the milking was drowned In the creamy froth, ‘Tm-getting near the end of this kind of thing. .Father's getting more and more set on money ail the time. He thinks I should slave along too to plle-up more beside what he’s got already, but I'm hot going to do It much longer. Fm not-afraid, of work, or hardship either«.rd;llve In a shack. If I had to, “Would you live In a shack?” said Jim. She shot a quick look sit him.. Buf he was quietly; smiling1 Into his milk pall, and she -,decided totreat his. question Impersonally. .:t.- “Tes, Fd Hve^In a shack; too, if I had to. I put In my first .Vears In a! sodhonse, and there was more real' happiness .romping up and, down the land then than there Is nowir* In those; days everybody.'was so poor that money didn't count.; . . , It’s differ' ;i*nt now." . ‘ ■ Jim did not pursue the subJect1 and the milking was completed In silence. JIm finished first, and presently tlie .rising hum of the cream separator was heard from the kitchen. “There he goes, winding his arm off —for me," said the girl, as she rose from Uie last cow. “Poor Jim—I wish I knew whether It’s Just human kind­ ness makes him do It, or whether—’’ She stopped, coloring a little over the thought that had almost escaped into words. When the heavy grind of the sepa­ rating was finished Jlm went quietly to his own room, but ^he girl put on a clean dress and walked out through the garden. At the lower gate she stooped to pick a flower, which she held for a moment to her face; then, toying lightly with it In her fingers, she slipped the latch and continued along the path leading down into the ravine. To the right lay the bench where the soiJhouse had stood, not so much as a mound now marking the' spot; but the thoughts of the girl turned yearningly to It, and to the days of the lonely but not unhappy childhood which it had sheltered. Presently she reached the water, and her quick ear caught the sound of a muskrat slipping gently into the. stream from the reeds on the opposite bank; she could see the widening wake where he plowed his swift way across the pond. Then her own figiire stood up before her, graceful and lithe, as the willows on the bank. She sur­ veyed It a minute, then flicked the flower at her face In the water, and turned slowly homeward. She was not unhappy, but a dull sense of loss oppressed her—a sense that tlie world was very rich and very beautiful, and that she was feasting neither on Ite richness nor Its beauty. There was a stirring of music and poetry In her soul, but neither music nor poetry found expression. And presently she discovered she was thinking about Jim Travel’s. Her mother sat In the dining room, knitting by the light of the hanging lamp. Her face seemed very pale and lovely in the soft glow. “Don’t you think you have done enough?” said tlie girl, slipping Into a sitting posture on the flqor by her mother’s knee. “You work, work, work, all the time. I suppose they’ll have to let you work In heaven.” “We value our work more as we grow older,” said "the mother. . . . “It helps to keep us from thinking.” “There you go I” exclaimed the girl; but there was a tenderness In her voice. “Worrying again. I wish they’d stay home for a change." The mother plied her needles In silence. "Slip away to bed, Beulah," she said at length. “I will wait up for a Whlle." Late In the night the girl heard heavy footsteps In the kitchen and bursts of loud but indistinct talking. CHAPTER V. Notwithstanding Harris’ late hours the household was early astir the fol­ lowing morning. At five o’clock Jim was at work In the stables, feeding, rubbing down and harnessing his horses, while Allan and his father walked to the engine, where they built a fresh fire and made some minor re­ pairs. A little later Beulah came down to the corral with her milk-palls, and the cows, comfortably chewing where they rested on their warm spots of earth, rose slowly and with evident great reluctance at her approach. The Harris farm, like fifty thousand others,'rose from Its brief hush of rest and quiet to the sounds and. energies ot another day. Breakfast, like the meal of the night before, was eaten hurriedly, and at first without conversation, but at length Harris paused long enough to remark, “Biles Is .talkin’ o’ goln' West” “The news might be worse,” said Beulah. Biles, although a successful farmer, had the reputatlop of being grasping and hard to a degree, even In a community where such quali­ ties, In moderation, were by no means considered vices. Harris paid no attention to his daughter’s interruption. It was evi­ dent, however, that his mention of Biles had a purpose behind it, and presently he continued: “Biles has been wrltln’ to the de­ partment of the Interior, and It-seems they’re openin’ a lot-of land for home­ steadin' away West, not far from the Bocky mountains. Seems they have a good climate there, and good soil, too.” “I should'think Mr.' Biles would be content with what he hag/’ said Mary. Harris. “He has a fine fatm here, and I’m sure both him and' his wife - have worked hard enough to take It easier now.” “Hard work never killed nobody.” pursued the farmer. jlRiles Is good for many a year yet and free land ain’t >vhat It once was. Those homesteads’ll be worth twenty dollars an aere'fcy the time they’re proved up.” Breakfast and Harris’ speech came to an end simultaneously, and the sub­ ject was dropped for the time. In. a few minutes Jlm had his team hitcked to the tank wagon In the yard. The men jumped aboard- and the wagon rattled down the road to. where' the engine and plows sat In the stubble- field. '' ' “What notion’s this father’s got .about Biles, do you suppose, mother?” asked Beulah, as the two women bus- .led themselves with the morning work In the kitchen. ’“Dear knows,” said her mother, wearily. “I hope HS" doesn't take It In his head to go out therej too." “Who, -Dad? Oh, he wouldn’t do that BBs heart's quite wrapped up In ,the farm here: I wish he'd unwrap It a bit and let It peek out at times.” •Tm not so sure, rm beginning to |thlnk It’s the money that’s In to* Iftnii yoor father's heart la set on. u the uiiney was to be' made somewhere else b(s heart would soon, shift Here Tve slaved and saved until Tm an-^-an old Woman, and what better are we for It? We’ve better things to eat and more-things to wear and.a bigger house to keep dean, and your father thinks we ought td be satisfied. But he isn’t satisfied himself. He’s slaving harder than ever, and now he's got this notion about going West. * Oih1 you’ll see It will come to thfit. He knows our life Isn’t complete, and he thinks more money will complete It All the, experience of twenty years hasn’t taught him any better.” Beulah stood aghast at this outburst, and when her. mother paused and looked at her, and she saw the unbid­ den wells of water gathering In the tender eyes, the girl could no longer restrain i^erself. With a cry she flurfg her arms, about her mother’s neck, and for a few moments the two forgot their habitual restraint and were but naked souls mingling together. “Your father is hungry,” said the mother. “Hungry—hungry, and he thinks that more land, more money, more success, will fill him. And In the meantime be’s forgetting the things that would satisfy—the love that was ours, the little devq—Oh, child, what am I saying? What an unfaithful creature I am? You must forget Beulah, you must forget thefee words— words of shame they are!” “The shame is his,” declared' the girl, defiantly, “and I won’t stand this nonsense about homesteading again—I just won't stand it. If he says any­ thing more about It I’ll—I’ll fly off, that’s what I’ll do. And I’ve a few re­ marks for him about Biles that won't keep much longer. The old badges— he's at the bottom of all this." “You mustn't quarrel with your fa­ ther, dearie, you mustn’t do that.” ‘Tm not going to quarrel with him, but I'm going to say some tilings that need saying. And if It comes to a showdown, and he must go—well, he must, but you and I will stay with the old farm, won’t we, mother?” “There, there now,” the mother said, gently stroking her daughter’s hair. "Let us forget this, and remember how much we have to be thankful for. We have our health, and our home, and the bright sunshine, and—I declare," she interrupted, catching a glimpse'of something through the Windoivr uIf the cows haven’t broken from the lower pasture and are all through the oat- field I ; You’ll have to -take Collie and get them back, somehow, or bring them up to the .corral.” ' Pulling a sunrbonoet upon her head Beulah. called the dog, which came leaping upon her with boisterous af­ fection, and hurried down the path to the field where the cows stood almost lost Id a jungle of green oats. She - soon located’ the breach In the fence and, with the help of the dog, quickly turned the cows toward It But alack! just as victory seemed assured a rab­ bit was frightened from its hiding- place; In the green oats and sailed forth In graceful bounds across the pasture. The dog, of course, conclud­ ed that the capture of the rabbit was of much more vital importance to the Harris homestead tban driviug any number of stupid cattle, and darted across the' field In pursuit, wasting his breath In sharp, eager yelps as he went ' Whereupon the cows turned oatward again, not boisterously nor Insolently, but with a cairn persistence that 'steadily wore out the girl's strength and patience. She was In no. joyous mood at best, and the perverse­ ness of things aggravated her beyond endurance. Her callings to the cattle became more and more tearful, and presently ended In a sob. “There, now, Beulah, don’t worry; we will have them In a minute,” said a quiet .voice, and looking about she found;Jlm almoBt.at her elbow, his om­ nipresent smile playing gently about his white teeth. “I was down at the creek .filling the tank; when I saw you had >a: IIttleirebeIlion on your hands, and Ivthought re-enforcements might; be In order."

Many Idle Fr<Djn Choice. , "We are told repeatedly that many thousand are idle in the big cities and are feeling the pinch of want. Municipal lodging houses, in New York are providing for hundreds of homeless weekly. This isn’t unusu­ al in the big cities,./wher.e there are always idlers and homeless, regard­ less of the state of the country or the demand for workers. ‘ But New York officials say the number of municipal lodgersthisyear is about four times as many as a year ago, which goes to show that depressed business condition has had its effect as it always does. But when New York city called for 8,ooo laborers to shovel snow off the street, $5.20 for an eight-hour day, compartati vely few respanded. AU- of which is but another illustration of an old and well-known truth, which is that there are now, always have been and always will'be many people out of work simply because they won’t work. They either don’t want to work at all or they are choice about what they do—they will-accept on­ ly certain kinds of work when hours rate of pay and working conditions suit their taste. AU these' deserve to be worked under compulsion It may be observed, here that lo­ cally labor (unskilled at least) it seemingly as scarce as it had been for some years; and there is no de­ flation in the price; ’ Folks - who want wood split or jobs done about yards and gardens have to beg to get it done as a special favor and any price for any sort of work. In other words,- war-time labor conti­ nue locally. There is no criticism . here of labor taking -advantage of the. situation and exacting all the traffic will bear. Labor is simply following the universal-example and its rights and privileges have.strong­ er claim than others who have bene, fited. But one wonders sometimes whether some unskilled labor that remains idle from choi<Ss;or.:accepts such service. only' as appeals to its fancy, may call on the'Associated.

There is a bill pending before the longress to compel a proper obser vadce of. the Sabbath by the people, of the U. S. Our description of the Lord’s day is one' of the crying evils of- our times. Sunday has bepome a holiday. Evenherein the staid and conservative South the flagrant disregard of the Lord's day is en­ ough to appall the heart of any Christaiu man. ‘ But the passage of this bill is not the proper way to go about restoring reverence for Sunday that prevailed among us in otherdays,. In the first place the observance of the Sabbath is really not what the law is after, but the proper observance of Sunday, Sat­ urday is the Sabbath while the first day of the week is Sunday- The state has -hothing in the world to do with Sunday observance. This is a matter of for the church which, is or ought to be widely, seperated from the state. If the religion which we profess can' not restrain the ungodly from violating the Lord’s day, it is violating the Lord’s day it is a plain confession thatgp the realm of re­ ligion the state is morfe potent than the church. 'Sunday abservance can not pe legislated into people any more than any other moral question. How can ’a man be made to reverence and keep holy this day against his will. He may 'be tied hand and foot, or be confined in a dungeon, but that will certainy not be remembering, the Lord’s day to keep it holy. The command­ ments the trat relate to our duty to God. No earthly power can force us to obey these commands. Con- gress ca'n not compel its to love the Lordwithallour mind soul and strength, and pur neighbor as our­ selves. This must be wholly volun­ tary on our part. We ought to observe the Lord’s day and keep it holy because we love God1 and not because we are afraid of the sheriff. This is only motive that- is behind genuine Sunday observance. The proponents ‘ of this Sabbath law mean well no doubt, but they are on dangerous ground when they ask Congress to stept into the spiri­ tual realm. Because of this very spirit the earth has been stained WitH innocettt blood again and again Let us render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s. We hope Congress will proptly and vigor­ ously turndown this so-called Sab­ bath bill, and leave the enforce­ ment of Sunday observance where it properly belongs-^to the church of Jesus Christ who is Lord of the Sabbath—Charity and Children.

His. speeches were forceful and convin-j cing; and we are expecting materi-. al results in Davie county from this' campaign in the interest of law en­ forcement. ' We .now have six aux» iliary leagues in the county and a fine membership at each place to. start with, and the future growth of the leagues look bright and pro­ mising. We purpose a campaign from every church, in the county and we hope to have an active or-, ganization in every community in the county before we quit the work of organization. We realize that organization is the first. work be­ fore us and with that completed we will be ready to show results which will make of Davie the banner coun­ ty of the State. We realize that this question of law . enforcement must be brought face to face to every citizen of our county if we expect to get rid of the great evils of whiskey making and -whiskey drinking which has so long be­ smirched-the good name of our. county. The scope and ultimate object of our organization does not own well-being ” “The consent of the children is not asked by the parents, and the.immature aid not consulted as to what shall be done. Authority is not derived from the children but inheres in the head of the family because of them.” “ The exercise of authority is the just ex­ pression of parental obligation.' “The just powers of government, therefore, are derived, not from the consent of the immature and incap­ able who are governed, but arises out of the obligation which the philanthropic greater inalienably owes to the less for . the protection and development of the less up to ire own higher level.” “The mass­ es of men think of the things of to­ day, not the things of tomorrow. •Progress is born of -foresight and civilization proceeds out of the few with head and heart who, - not un­ mindful of today, set their gaze in the face of the coming time. These are the men who must lead the masses, save the world and lift up the race from generation to genera­ tion.

The York County farmers haye signed a petition asking bankers in that section ,Of South Carolina to refuse credit for 1921” to any far­ mer who declines to agree to a re­ duction of 50^ per cent in his cotton acreage"next season..- Tnis would seem indicate that the York County that the York County farmers are in earnest.

We want the active and united co-operation of every good citizen of the county; and es­ pecially every school teacher. The impressions for good that go out from the school houses are next to those of the home and count for more than the average school teach­ er realizes.

AU money looks alike to us, but it seems that some of our citizens are afraid of a Republican’s money —it might be tainted. The banks in all our neighbor­ ing towns’and cities do not think there is no money in the country from the way they are advertising. The price of tobacco and cotton seems to be better day by day. The farmers would do well to hold their cotton, for the prices will no doubt be better before many weeks. Dr. Ike Campbell may .lot get Cong. Dougbton’s seat, but the Doctor may tell some interesting things before the show is over, and make some of the Democrat politi­ cians feel bad. The Record didn’t make many resolutions this year, but it made one that it is going to try and live up to, as follows: To give our aid and support to all good causes; to patronize the merchants ands others who patronize us. We don’t know which Governor pardoned the greatest number of. murderers—Cole Blease or Walter Bickett. It seems to have been a race between the two. Here’s hop­ ing that our new Governor will make a better record along this line than the gentleman who just step­ ped down. President Harding wants a sim­ ple, inexpensive inauguration, arid our Democratic papers who have ■beeu raising such a howl about the inauguration and the awful expense will have to eat some crow. Gov­ ernor Morrison of North Carolina, was inaugurated, last Wednesday with much noise, ; .lots of expense and special trains.

About the first thing they did-at was to increase salaries. They wanted them moved out of the way or be made to stop, look, and listen to see if an automobile is coming and wants to cross. After increasing their salaries, they want it fixed so the Judges can be at home Sundays to save it, and perhaps increase their church pledg- es. The next thing-they do’ed-at was when they increase Judges’ salaries is to fix it so no Republican can be elected and get “good money.” That would be too democratic, and hurt the State olligarchy which has always been opposed to local self- government, only in-name;—Hick­ ory Mercury.

An exciting chase from Mocks- villeto the Wilkes county line a few days ago resulted in the capture of a new Buick-Six automobile belong­ ing to R. B.. Sanford of Mocksville and which was stolen from his ga­ rage that morning, also led the of­ ficers into a bunch of stolen auto­ mobiles which the officers say have been packed into that section and sold for money, traded for whiskey, or dumped in any manner they, could.

UNtJARYig^W THE HOMESTEADER. BY ROBT. J. C. STEAD (Continued from last week.) ~ 'T oil might • Ve hollered farther back," she said, half reproachfully, but there was a light of appreciation In her I “Say, Jim, Honestly, What Makes You Do IMw eye when she dared raise it toward him. ‘Tm afraid I was beginning to be very—foolish.” She tripped again on the treacherous buckwheat, but he held her arm In a strong grasp against which the weight of her dim figure seemed but as a feather blown against a wall. Then they sot about their task, but the «r>ber-u?ed cows had no thought of be­ ing easily deprived of tbeir feast, and it was some ,time before they were all turned back into the pasture and the fence temporarily repaired behind them. “I can’t thank you enough,” Beulah was saying. “You Just keep piling one kindness on top of another. Say, Jim, honest, what makes you do it?” But at that moment the keen blast of an engine whistle, came cutting through the air—a long clear note, fol­ lowed by a series of . toots in rapid suc­cession. “I guess they’re running short of water,” said Jim; “I must, hustle.” So saying he ran to the ford of the creek where the tank-wagon was still stand­ ing, and In a minute his strong frame was swaying back and forth to the rhythmic clanking of the pump. Meanwhile other things were trans­ piring. Harris had returned from town the night before with the-fixed intention of paying.an early visit to the Farther West He and Riles had spent more time than they should breasting the village bar, while the latter drew a picture of rising color of the possibilities which the new lands afforded. Harris was not a man who abused himself with liquor, and Biles, too, rarely forgot that, indulgence was expensive, and had/to be paid for In cash. Moreover, Allan occasioned his father some uneasiness. He was young, and had ndt yet learned the self-con­ trol to be expected In later life. More than once of IaJte Allan had crossed the boundary oftmoderation and John Harris was by no means indifferent to the welfare of his only son. Indeed, the bond between the two was so real and so intense' that Harris had never been able to bring himself to contem­ plate their separation, and the boy had not even so mnch as thought of estab­ lishing a hqme of his own. The idea of homesteading together assured fur­ ther years of close relationship be­ tween father and spn, and. the younger man fell In whole-heartedly with it. “We’ll hurry up the plowing. Dad, and run west before the harvest is on us,” Allan. said . as they rode home through the. darkness. “We can file our land and get back for the fall work; Then we will, go out for the winter and commence our duties. The only question Is; can they grow any­ thing on that land out there?” “That's what they used to ask when we came to Manitoba," said his.fa­ ther. “And there were years when I doubted the answer myself. Some, parts were froze out year after year, and they’re among the best In the coun­ try now, and never think of frost. The same tblngTl' happen out there, and we might as well be In the game." To do him justice, it was not alto­ gether the desire for more wealth that prompted Harris. It was the call of new land; the call he had heard and answered In the early eighties; the old his blood, waiting..only’ a suggestion of the open !spaces, a whiff from dry grass on the wind-swept plains, the zigzag of a- wagon-trail streaking afar into the horlzoiv to set ;it tingling again. So this morning father mid son were especially anxious that not a moment of their plowing weather sbonld be. lost, and it- was particularly aggravat­ ing when the hired man's long delay resulted In a bubbling sputter followed by a dry hiss from the injector, warn­ ing the engineer that the water-tank was empty. Allan shot an anxious glance down the road to the coulee, but the water team was not In sight Seizing the whistle cord, he sent its peremptory summons- mto me air. Harris looked Up from the plows, and .the two exchanged frowns of annoy­ ance. But the water stood high in the glass, and Allan did not reduce the speed, although he cut the link action another notch to-get every ounce of advantage from’the expansion. But the water went down, down In the glass, and still there was no sign of a further supply. Allan again cut the air with his whistle, and at length, with. a muttered imprecation, he slammed the throttle shut and jumped from tbs engine. “Keep a keen eye on your fire,” said Harris, “and TH go down and see wbat’s wrong with him.” So the farm­ er strode oft across the plowed field. The delay annoyed him, and he felt unreasonably cross with Travers. As he plodded on through the heavy soil bis temper did not Improve, and he was talking to himself by the time he came upon Travers, giving 'Hs team their wind at the top of the hill lend­ ing up from The creek. “What kept you?” he demanded when he came within a rod of tlie wagon. “Here’s the outfit shut down waiting for water, and you— ‘Tm sorry, Mr. Harris—” ■ “That ain’t what I asked you. You can’t make steam.with sorrow. Wbat have you been.foolin’ about?” “I haven’t been fooling. As to what delayed me—well, you’re delaying me now.- Better jump on and ride up with me.” “So you won’t tell me,, eh? You think you can do what you like with my team and my time, and it’s none .of my business. We’ll see whose busi­ ness It Is.” Harris came threateningly toward the wagon, bnt was met only by the Imperturbable smile of his hired man. He thrust his foot on a spoke of the wheel and prepared to spring onto the tank, but at that moment the horses stirred and his foot slipped. Seeing that the farmer was about to fall Travers seized him by the collar of his shirt but In so doing he leaned and lost bis own balance, when the weight of the falling man came upon him, and the two tumbled onto the grass la each other's arms. Allan, having satisfied himself that the engine would take no harm, had followed his father, and came over the crest of the ridge above the coulee just in time to see JIm apparently strike his employer and the two strug­ gling on the grass together. In an in­ stant the young man’s hot blood was In his head; he rushed forward, and. He Rushed Forward, and Just as Jlm Had Risen to His Knees He Struck Him a Stinging Blow in the Face. just as Jim had risen to his knees he struck him a stinging blow in the face that measured'him again-In the grass. It was only for an instant. Travers sprang to his feet,- a . red. line slowly stretching down his cheek as- he did so. Allan came upon him swinging a tremendous blow at the Jaw; but Jim guarded skilfully, and answered with a smash from the shoulder straight on the chin, which laid his adversary’s six feet prostrate before him. Allan rose slowly, sober but deter­ mined, and for a moment it looked as though a battle royal were to be fought on the spot, both men strong, lean, rigid, hard as Iron, and quick as steel; Allah angry, careless, furious; Jlm calm, confident, and still smiling. But Harris rushed between them and seized his son by the arms. “Stop'it, Allan; stop, I say. You mustn’t fight. Jlm didn’t hit me—Hl say that for him. Now quit it As for you” (turning to JimX 'Tm sorry for this, but you have yourself to blame. Hl give you one more chance to answer me—what kept you !” . “I don’t choose to answer,” was Jim’s reply, spoken In the most casual tone. His eye was rapidjjr,.'closing where Allan’s blow had fallen on it, but his white teeth' still glistened be­ hind a smile. “All right,” said Harris. “ YoU can go to the house and tell Mrs. Harris to pay you what'is coming.”' And the farmer' climbed 'onto the wagon and took the reins himself. When Jim entered the kitchen he was received with astonishment by Mrs.. Harris and' Beulah. A’Why, what­ ever has happened?” they exclaimed. “Has there been am accident? You’re hurt I” • . ‘ But JIm smiled, and said; “No ac­ cident at all. I have merely decided to go homesteading.” And he went up the stairs to pack his belongings. m . CHAPTER VI. r. into the Night. ' ‘Harris and Allan drove straight to the engine, never looking back to see wbat became of the hired man. On the way the farmer explained to His son what had taken place;, that words had' passed between them, but no blows, had been struck, until Allan appeared on the scene. “I can’t make out what got into Jim, that he wouldn’t answer a civil question. Jim was a good man, too.” Perhaps the disturbing suggestion en­ tered Harris’ mind that the question had been none too civil, and he was really beginning to feel that after all Jlra might be the aggrieved party. But he crushed down such mental se­ dition promptly. “It don’t matter how good a man he was,” he declared, “as long as I pay the piper I’m goin! to call the tune.” • “It puts us up against it for a wa­ terman, though,” said Allan, thought­ fully. “So it does,” admitted Harris, who up to that moment had not reflected that his hasty' action In dismissing Travers would result In much more delay than anything else that, had oc­ curred. “Well, we’ll have to get some­ body else. We’ll manage till noon, and then you better ride over to Grant’s or Morrison’s. They’ll be cble to lend a man or one of the boys for a day or two.” At noon Jim’s chair was vacant, and the family sat down to dinner atnld a depressing silence. No mention was made of the morning’s incident until’ the meal was well advanced, when Harris, feeling that he ought in some way to introduce the subject, ,said: “Is JIm' gone?” “Yea, he’s gone,” blazed Beulah. “You didn’t expect he’d wait' to kiss you good-by. did you?” “One in the family is enough for that treatment,” put In Allan, whose swollen chin and stiff neck still biased him against Travers. .“He didn’t, either. And if he dfd It’s none of your business, you big—;” she looked her brother straight In the face, her swollen eyes telling their own istory, and repeated deliberately, “you big coward.” Allan bit his .lip. V “Jim’s quite a hero, all right It’s too bad he’s gone.” “It's a good job he’s gone,” said Harris. “By the way Beulah talks things have gone far enough. I don’t want my daughter marrying a farmer." “Her grandmother’s daughter did,” said Mrs. Harris. ' . “Yes, I know, but things are differ­ ent now. I' look for something better for Beulah." It was characteristic of. Harris, as of thousands of others,-that although a farmer himself, he looked for “some­ thing better” for his daughter. He was resigned to Allan being a farmer; his intimate, daily relationship with his son shrank from any possibility of separation. But for his daughter —no. He had mapped out no career for her; she might marry a doctor, lawyer, merchant, tradesman, even a minister, but not a fanner. It is a peculiarity of’ the agriculturist that, among all professions, be holds his own In tlie worst repute. In later years has come a gradually broaden­ ing conception that farming, after all, calls for brain as well as muscle, and that the man who can wrestle a suc­ cessful living from nature has as much right to hold up his head in the world as-the experimenter in medicine or the lawyer playing hide-and-seek with justice through the cracks In the crim­ inal code. Herein is a germ of the cityward migration: the farmer him­ self is looking for “something better” for his children. ■ s “Jim was- a good man,” persisted bis wife. “Don’t you think you were —well, perhaps, a . little hasty with him?” ' ; ' Harris sat back. It was his wife’s business to agree. For twenty years and more, she had been faithful in the discharge of that duty. That she should suggest an opinion out of har­ mony with his indicated a lack of dis­ cipline, not very serious, perhaps, but a seed which, If permitted to flourish, might develop to dangerous propor­ tions. “So you’re goin’ to take his part, too? It’s a strange thing tf I can’t handle my hired help without advice from the house.” . Mary flushed at the remark. Any open quarrel with her husband, espe­ cially before- the children—for she still thought of the man and woman to her left and right as “the children” —was more painful to her than any submission could have been. It would be so much easier to change the sub­ ject, to follow the line of least resist­ ance, and forgot the incident as qutck- Iy as possible. But of late tlie convic­ tion' had been coming home to her that some time, somewhere, she must make a stand. And,,quite unbidden, a strange surge of defiance welled In her when her husband so frankly told her to mind her own business. “I was under the impression we were managing this farm together, you and I, John,” she said, very calm­ ly, but with a strange ring In her voice. !‘When we ,came West !under-• stood -It was to -build our home. I didn’t know It was just to be your home.” • • The look of surprise with which Harris greeted her words was abso­ lutely genuine. A hot stinging, retort sprang to his. lips, but by a sudden effort he suppressed It. “We will talk about that some other time, Mary,” he said.. ‘Tf JIm had answered my ques­ tion .airly, as he had a right to, In­ stead' of beatin' around the bush, I might ’ve let him Offi But when I wanted to know what kept him he .simply parried me. makin' a fool of Selm d-TuhEin'. ITTn^wIth ffiaFinfer­ nal smile-of1 his.*' .' “So that’s, what started Itr1 ex­ claimed Beulah. “Well, H l tell you what kept .him, if he wouldn’t The cattle got Into the oats through a break In the fence, and I couldn’t get them out, and the dog went ki-yi-lng- over the prairie after a rabbit, and Jnst as I was beginning to—to—con­ dense over it Jlm came up and saved the'situation.. What If he did keep your old engine, waiting? There are more Important things than plowing.” “Aha!” said Harris, knowingly. “Well, I guess it’s just as well It hap­ pened as it did. Jlm was gettin’ al­ together'too good at runnln' at your heels.” “That’s all the thanks he gets for working late and early, like no other hired man In the district AU right. You and Allan can milk the cows to­ night, for I won’t—see?” Harris was accustomed to his daughter's frankness, and as a rule paid little regard to it. He was willing enough to be flayed. In moderation, by her keen. tongue; In fact, he took a secret delight In her unrestrained sal­ lies, but that was different from de­ fiance. , “We’ll talk about that some other time, too.” he said. “And you’ll, milk the cows tonight as usual.” Beulah opened her Ilps as though to answer, but closed them again, arose, and walked out of the kitchen. For. her the .controversy was over; the die was cast. Her nature admitted of any amount of disputation up to. a. certain point but when the irresist­ ible force crashed Into the Immovable object she wasted no wind on words. With her war was war. Harris finished his men I with, little relish. His daughter was' very, very much to him, and an open rupture with tier was among the last things to be Imagined.. . . . Still, she must learn that the liberty of speech be al­ lowed her did not imply equal liberty of action. .. . . His wife, too, had behaved most Incredibly. After all, perhaps he had been hasty with Jim. No doubt he would meet the boy In Plalnvllle or somewhere In the dis­ trict before long, and he would then, have r. frank little talk with him. And he would say nothing more of the Incident to his wife. He was begin-, nlng to feel almost amiable,again when recollection of Benlab,' and tire regard which she was evidently cult!-, vating toward Travers, engulfed his returning spirits like a cold douche. It must not come to that, whatever ™ ™e n * ■% “Yon better , go over to Grant’s, Al­ lan, If you're goin’,” he said as he left the table. “I’ve some shears to change that'll keep me busy until you get back.” An hour later Allan returned, ac­ companied by George Grant, and oper­ ations in the field were resumed. Fa­ ther, and son . were, both anxious , to make up for. lost time, and they work­ ed that night long after, their usual hour for quitting. It was quite dark when the two men, tired and . dusty, came In at the close of their long day’s labor. The table was set for two. “We have had our supper," Mary explained. “We thought we wouldn’t wait any longer.” “That’s all right," said Harris, try­ ing to be genial. But he found It hard­ er than he had supposed. He . was very tired, and somewhat embarrassed following /the unpleasantness at noon. He had no thought of apologizing, either to wife or daughter; on the con­ trary, he Intended to make It quite dear to them that they had been at fault In the matter, but he would take his time about reopening the subject. When supper was finished Allan went to the stables to give final atten­ tion to the horses—a duty that had always fallen to Jlm—and Harris, af­ ter a few minutes’ quiet rest In his chair, began to remove his boots. _ (Continued next week) Monkey Men Nhrt Polygamist.

MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1921.• NUMBER 29. '11 • N . C Beyond The River "Shall we meet beyond the river Where the surges cease to roll; Where in all the bright forever . Sorrow ne’er shall reach the soul? And all down the ages that ques­ tion has been asked: -What is there beyond the'river? Do the “sirges ceased to roll” overlthfere? . Ts there a "bright forever?” “ Is there sor­ row over there? We all hope there is, we all believe there is but no mortal knows. Shall we meet a- gain "after lif’s fitful ifever’s? How can we tell. No traveler ever retitn- ed to say, no’ moral has ever seen that bright or dark forever. Does our sorrow end with life. Is there somewhere in the infinite reaches of eternity a place of rest for the weary souls? The Indians believed there were happy hunting grounds be­ yond the river of life. The ancients dreamed of heavens of peace and love. The prophets have foretold in the Words of Magic of golden' streets and angels of song and harps of gold and rivers of life and beauty. The philosophers have profounded wonderful theories of the existence of the hereafter. The poets have sung for 6,000 years of the • glories that are great ahead' of humanity. Yet the fear of what will be- has made man tremble on the brink of the grave since time .has been. No logic can solve this question. . Rea­ son falls down it tries- in dread as to answer. It is the riddle of the universe yet ev;ry religion, pa­ gan and Christian, believes there is a bright forever—for some. ' These ecclesiastics say that some will find this - heaven and- some find hell over there, that nature has built two iealms over there, one for what their creed calls goo&and the other for those they call bad, - according to their needs. The separated humanity into two .schools, , and somehow, someway; sometime, the spirit of the good make a’ heaven and the spirits of the!ibad make a hell. Who knows? AU we do know is' lfiat' good ac­ tions, good thoughts, good words make a heaven on earth and that wicked words and thoughts and deeds make a ,hell on earth. We se3 heavens and hells Wery1 day We live. • The soal of man naturally knows "what is right' and what is wrong. We see in every life the re­ sults of both kinds 'of actions. If there were no heavensand no hells over there we know there are some here, and it is natural to expect like conditions there to what we have, hence'the universal philosophy that like produces like God^may extend over there the same conditions that exist nere and He inay not. He may have one heaven for all. -He may fotget the faults of human­ kind when life ends. Who knows? Man—not ...two kinds,'the good and-bad—but mail was created in the image 6f,, God, and who knows the: fixture?’: V So we must believe the old :Bible statement-as to what is over there or we are at sea, without a rudder or'a compass and on a: wild; eridlesis sea. Shall “the surges.ceasf to roll beyond the river in the bright for­ ever where- sorrow never sh’all reach the soal.* ’ We hopesb.

'Ism an of less im­ portance than the flowers? If we make S-Cavens here we .!WflfcTje iti ' them there — this is reasonable; Anyway these throughts arise as th^Elks were singirig^^^Kyorid’ Barnnm Was Right. , It seems that the day of high pri­ ces is fast coming to a close and that the profiteer is doomed. Wages all over the country are being cut and laborers who heretofore were working six hours a day and receiv­ ing pay for eight hours, working five days to the week and getting pay for six days are now glad to work ten hours a day and six days per week at the same job with a decrease of from twenty-five to fifty percent in price per hour. But the downward trend of the necessiti­ es of iife makes a dollar worth more and the man who was receiving all he was worth under • the inflated- price conditions and who-now re­ ceives one-third less is still receiving all he is worth. . It is difficult to make a man believe that he is not worth as much in dollars and cents now as he was six months ago but if he will use his head and think over the situation he can easily see that his wages must be cut to meet the slump of prices. Likewise the price of farm products, merchandise and other manufactured articles are off/from 25 to 50 per cent and the farmers, merchants and other deal­ ers must come down with the mar­ ket and just grin andbear it. When these commodities went soaring the farmer sold on the market, the merchant kept busy marking lip his goods to the prevailing price, the lumber dealers took their-raise on their wares, the manufacturer raised the price of his finished pro­ duct and the profiteer was born. Everything was so high that the rcossumer was-not surprised at "any kind of a price and article overnight was no surprise to him and he paid the price and went on. Not so now everyone knows that the bottom is out of most articles ' and the profi­ teers is doomed and dealers must get on the market. ' In ,many in­ stances it- is iMt enough for the re­ tailer to .price his articles at cost. Cost when he bought many of his goods would be twenty per cent more than the retail price of the article today. Likewise unskilled men who have heretofore been paid skilled workmen’s wages must come back to normal. The ever increas­ ing number of automobiles have caused garages to spring up like mushrooms all over the country and it seems that all that was re­ quired for one ,to become an Expert Automobile Mechanic was to be able to crank a car and get in from twenty to forty hours (garage own­ ers charge by the hours for services) work on cars for the boss in an eight hour shift. Barnum was right when he said, "A sucker was born every .minute.” Naturally some unscrupulous dealers are going to try to hold prices up,- and will if the people stand for it but a man without a high sch'ool education knows that with wool at 12 cents a pound- now' as-against- 80' cents twelve months ago that woolen ar­ ticles-must be down;, with hides at 4 to 7 cents per pound as against a.Sitp 60 cents a year ago that leath­ er goods are bound to be lower; with? hogs at 10 to i 2 cents net as against 20 -to 22- cents a . year ago that there is no earthly excuse for '•the price of pork being the same as last year or even only 5 cants per pound less-witli cattle selling at 6 cen .s now as against 14 to 16 cents ^giross last year'that the dealer"wild! sold last year at the price asked now either lost money or the deal- ier now wants’ to make it all at; once. Who’s to blame for these'! conditions? Barnutn’s suckers of; course. The iligh iCost of.

IN ADVANCE - $ Sfl THREE MONTHS. IN ADVANCE $ 25 Why not elect a lady for mayor of Mocksville next May? We be­ lieve this would insure a cleaner, better town. The YadkinRipple says that fif­ teen men were convicted, and sen­ tenced to ' the road from Yadkin" county and that all but oiie of them! were pardoned. Why convict? We believe the present session of the legislative should pass a law giving this State the right to ap­ point or elect a poedoning board. Many pardons are granted by one man that would not be granted if the board was composed of three or five, men. If there is' a third of a mile of public road in Davie countv that is any worse than Depot street we ■would like to see it. If there is a third of a mile anywhere in Davie county on which thecounty or road commissioners have .speat-half ss much money as the town fathers have spent on Depot street then wt are in favor: of impeaching every Commissioner in the county. A prominent (?) citizen of the town—a Democrat—said last fall that he was going to do everything in his power to defeat the present town officers this spring. The Re­ cord editor has never went so far as to say he would, try to defeat any town official and thus deprive said official of the handsome salary that he draws for serving the said town. Far be it from us to butt in where angels fear to tread. We do not like to criticise cur . town Commissioners, our fire in­ spector or sanitary officer. If they are doing their level best they de­ serve the thanks of all our people, and The Record joi :s the town in making our best bow bow to them. Wc never say anything so mean a- bout anybody but what we are ready to apologize when we find out that we have done them an in­ justice. The Record is in favor of a State system of hard surface roads. What every county needs is a public high­ way chat can be traveled every day in the y«ar. The sand-c!ay road lias been tried and found wanting. A main highway will not stand up under the heavy traffic-that passes over them thes; days. Hard sur­ face roads will cost money;. and lots of it, but. the . country, .has spent hundreds of millions of dollars dur­ ing the past few years for- things not half /so essential as good roads. We hope that the day is not far distant when hard surfaced roads will link up the county seats of all the counties in the State. A good road is worth thousands of dol­ lars to every business man and citi­ zen in the county: ' It is up to the law makers to do something along this line. The taxpayers ofya town or city do not object to paying taxes when they get something in return/for their money. . Many years oUr citi­ zens have been paying taxes and to­ day we are no better off tl.anj we were twenty years ago with the ex­ ception of a school building fwith a bond issue.

Several Smith Grove ' citizens were in town Saturday and in talk­ ing of the new road from Mocksville to Winston-Salem they say that the distance to Winston-Salem will be reduced by at least four miles. The new road will leave the post road near the Whitaker graveyard, and will go iu a direct ioute through Smitt) Grove and Redlaud, coming out into the post road at the old- Hodges place, one mile thi; side of the river bridge. Itseem sthatthe Winston Journal carried an article a few days ago saying that this new road would only save a distance of about two miles from Mocksville to Winston-Salem, The citizens along the new road say that the distance saved will be not less than four miles with a grade of less than 4 per cent. The contract for this new road was to be let in Greensboro yesterday, and all' the people of this seciion are anxious lor work to begin on this road at the earliest possible date. L Tlie section from through which this road wi I pass has long been cut off from the balance of the county during the winter months, as the roads were frequently im­ passible. The Record hopes that a hard surface road will soon be built connecting Winston-Salem and Mocksville. MASS MEETING IN MOCKSVILLE Every Voter in Davie County Urged to Be Here on Monday, Feb. 7th.

Spraying of Fruit Trees. There is no operation connected with the growing of fruits, either for home use or commercial pur­ poses, that is as important as spray­ ing. ■ An orchard may be pruned, cultivated, and fertilized and every other kind of good care be taken of it, but without thorough and time­ ly spraying, to prevent the ravage of insects and disease the fruit will be of poor quality. Then, too un-. sprayed trees are certain to decline and die several years before they should as a direct result of the ef­ fects diseases that can be prevented or controlled by spraying. Spraying is simply a means of in­ surance. It gives protection the same as your home is protected from fire or other damage by insur­ ance. This-prolection is not limit­ ed to the large orchard as often thought by many, but is also ap­ plicable to the man who has a few trees for home use. The cost of spraying a small orchard is very small if a sprayer is available. Only; a few cents per tree. The initial cost of a good sprayer is not very high and where it is purchased co- operativelj' by neighbors it may be reduced to a few dollars. It is now the time to apply the dormant spray. Lime sulphur should be used. It can be secured in Mocksville at a very reasonable price. In fact much cheaper than it can be made at home, commer­ cial Lime-sulphur is standardized and you know what you are getting, but it is impossible to tell what kind of mixture you have when it is made at home. I will be glad to assist any one in the spraying or pruning of his orchard. Now is the proper time. Call on me. S. H. WARREN. Co. Agent. A Beautiful Thought.

J. C. STEAD (Continued from last week.) "The cows are- not milked, John,’’ said Iiis wife. She tried to speak In a matter-of-fact way, but the tremor In her voice betrayed.the import of the simple statement Harris paused with a boot half un­ laced. While his recollection of Beu­ lah's defiance- was clear enough, It had not occurred to him that the girl actually would stand by her gufis. He had told her that she would milk the > ows tonight as usual, and he had as­ sumed, as a matter of. course, that she would do so. He was not accustomed •' l-ietng disobeyed. '"''IiPve-S R,-ulah?" he demanded. 1 guess she’s In her room.” Harris laced up his boot. Then he started upstairs. “Don’t be too hard on her, John,” urged his wife, with a little catch in her voice. won't be too hard on anybody,” i-eplicd curtly. “It’s a strange thing .'ii wouldn’t see that she did as she was told. I suppose I have to plug way in the field until dark, and then -Uie in and do another half-day’s •irk because my women folk are too vv or stubborn to do'it themselves.” if this outburst was intended to rush Mary Harris It had-a very dif­ ferent effect. She seemed to straighten up under the attack; the color came back to her cheeks, and her eyes were Iirlght and defiant “John Harris,” she said. “You know better than to say that , your women folk are either lazy or stubborn, but there’s a point where imposition, even the imposition of a husband, has to «tnp. and you’ve reached that point • ou didn’t have to stay In the field 11 Iil dark. There’s another day com- and the Plowing1U keep.' It isn’t i;e the harvest It was just ,your own contrariness that kept you tbiere. You fired the best man you ever tiad today, m a fit of temper, and now jjou’re try­ ing to take it out on us.” j Harris looked at her for asmoment; then, without speaking, he -continued up the stairs. He felt that he was being very unfairly used, bju£ he had no intention of shrinking/ from his duty as a husband and father,- even if its discharge shonld bring: path-to all of them. I He found Beulah In her room, os­ tensibly reading. ‘j “Why are the cows not JnilkedTtTie demanded. : I “I thought I made it'dfear to you at noon that they wouldn't- be milked by me,” die answered,,’ "and there didn't seem to be anybody else hankering for the job.” f “Beulah,” he said, trying to speak anything" more "for them: Ilut When you feed and shelter your, daughter you have only half provided for. her, and It’s the other half, the starving half, that refuses to starve any longer.” lTm not kickin’ on religion, if that’s what you mean, Beulah,” he said. “You get goin' to church as often as you like, and—” "Oh, it’s not religion,” she protest­ ed. “At least, it’s not just going to church, and things like that, although guess it is a more real religion, if we just understood. What are we here for, anyway? What's the an­ swer?" “Well, I’m here just now to tell you those cows are to be milked before—" 'Yes, dodge it! You’ve dodged that question so long you daren’t face it. But there must Be an answer some;, where, or there wouldn’t be the ques­ tion. There’s Biles, now; he doesn’t know there is such a question. He takes It for granted we're here to grab money. And then, there’s the Grants. They know there Is such a question, and I'm sure that to some extent they’ve answered it. You know, I like them, but I never go into their, house that I don’t feel out of place. I feel like they have something that I haven't —something that makes them very rich and shows me how very poor I m. And it’s embarrassing to feel poor among rich folks. Why, tonight George Grant stopped on his way home to say a word to me, and what do you sup­ pose he said? Nothing about the weather, or the neighbors, or the crops. He asked me what I thought of the Yenezuelan treaty. Of course I'd never heard of such a thing, but I said hoped It would be for the best, or iomething like that, but I was ashamyd —so ashamed he might have seen it-in the dusk. You see, they’re living— ind we’re existing.” If Beulah hoped by such argument :o persuade her father, or even to in­ fluence him, she was doomed to disap­ pointment. “You’re talking a .good leal qf nonsense, Beulah,’’ he said. ‘When you get older these questions von’t worry you. In the meantime, your duty is to do as you’re told. Itiglit .low that means milk the cows. I’ll give you five minutes to get stai'ted.” Harris went to his room. A little ater Beulah; with a light cloak about I I 1 i f “Too Far,” Sha Agreed.- “But You Started It; Lef r8 Seb Yom Stop It* calmly, “don’t’jr ou think this-nonsense has gone far vfl mugh?” "Too far,” Ahe agreed. ,“But you started tt—Ic g’s see you S top1I t" “Beulah,” he said,.w3th rising anger, ‘I ivcn’t al'Aw you to talk to. me like' that Rem imber I’m your farther, and you’ve a right to do> as yonlre told.

And as Yor all you’ve done for me—maybe 'Tm. ungrateful,but it doesn’t look half so 'big from my side of the fence." ; “Well, what more do you want?' he demanded. j “For one thing, ! wouldn’t mind hav­ ing a father.” J - “What do you (mean? - Ain’t I your “Nol” she crtedj “Nol(Nol-There’s no father here.'.

CHAPTER VII. Crumbling Castles. At the foot of the garden Beulfdi paused irresolute, the suitcase swing­ ing gently in her hand. She had made no plans for die decisive step' events of the day had forced upon her, but the step itself she felt to be, inevitable. She was not in love with Jim Travers; she had turned the whole question over In her mind that afternoon, weigh­ ing it with judicial impartiality, sup­ posing all manner of situations to try out- her own emotions, and she had come to the conclusion that Travers was merely an incident in: her' life, a somewhat inspiring Incident, perhaps, but an incident none the less. The real thing—the vital matter which de­ manded some exceptional protest-—was the narrow and ever narrowing horizon of her father, a horizon bounded only by material gain. Against this nar­ rowing band ‘of outlook her vigorous spirit, with its dumb, insistent stretch­ ings for the infinite, rebelled. It was not a matter of filial duty; it was not a matter of love; to her it was a mat­ ter of existence. She saw.her ideals dimly enough at. best, and' She would burst every cord of affection and con­ vention rather than allow them, to be submerged to the gray, - surrounding murk of materialism. | Perhaps it ■ was custom "-ancl the subtle pullings of association that drew her feet down the-.path-across the bench to the edge of'- the stream that gurgled gently in thd,;still night The stars blinked a strange challenge from the sky, as though to'-say, “Here is the tree of knowledge, if you dare to drink thereof.” ,c At length she turned her badk.on the stream and took the path -past the house and down to the corral, where she paused, her ear arrested by- the steady drone of milking. A lantern sitting on the black earth cast a-little circle of light and threw a docile cow In dreadful silhouette against the'barn. ■■ ’ r - ~~ . -T-—swhSlMrcafe- And by "that dim llglit~BeulaR Sis- cerned the bent form of her mother, milking. “Mother, this Is too much!” the girl exclaimed. Her mother started and looked up. “You're leaving us, Beulah?" she asked. There was no reproach in her voice, nor even surprise, but a kind of quiet sorrow. “I couldn't let the poor brutes suffer,” she explained. “Yes, I’m leaving,” said Beulah. “I can’t stand it any longer.” The mother sighed. “I’ve seen it coming for some time,” she said, at length. “I suppose it can’t be helped.” “You’re so passl've," returned the girl, with a touch of Impatience. “You make me want to fight. Of course it can be helped, but it can’t be helped by always giving in.” “Your father has met one of his own mettle at last,” said the mother, and the girl fancied she detected a note of pride, but whether of father, or daugh­ ter, or both, she could only guess. 'Well, it’s all very sad. Your father is a good man, Beulah. .'. ., I should I send you back to your bed,- but some- i how I can’t. I - I don’t blame you, I Beulah.” | She had finished the last cow. Beu­ lah helped with the JJails of milk, and the two women went back to the house j together. When Mary had washed her hands she took her daughter’s face be­ tween her palms and kissed her on the cheeks. Slowly Beulah’s arms stole about her neck, and it took all the steel in her nature to prevent surren­ der. Stay tUI morning, Beulah. Your father may be disposed to give and take a little then, and you’ll do the same, won’t you? . . . Oh, my girl, don’t break .up our home like this I" You can’t break up what you haven’t got Aside from you, ■ why should I call this place home? I work here, and get my board and clothes. Well, T can work other places, and get my board and clothes. If I’ve got to be a cog in a money-mhklng machine, I will at least choose the machine.” What plans have you made? Where are you going?” “Haven’t made any plans, and don’t know where I’m going. But Tm going. At present that’s enough. The plans will come along as they’re needed.” ‘Have you any moneyY’ asked the mother, with a brisk effort at cheer­ fulness. She was already planning for her daughter In the new world she was about to enter. “Enough to start me. That’s all I need. I can earn more. It’s not work I’m afraid of, although I suppose fa­ ther won’t be able to see it that way. He’ll put all this down to laziness and obstinacy. It’s neither. It's just a plain human craving to live.” “I sometimes wonder whether I’ll be able to stand it .through to the end,” her mother whispered, , somewhat fearfully, as though frightened by the admission. . “I’ve—I’ve seen it coming with you, and I can’t help feeling that perhaps this is only the beginning." “Oh. mother, if you should!” cried the girl. “That would do it—that would open his eyes. He’d see then that there is something In the world besides wheat and cows, after all. If yon would come—if you would only come too. things would be different.” “But I couldn’t do that,” said the mother, after a silence, and as though speaking with herself. “He’s my hus­ band, Beulah. You don’t understand.” They talked then, in secret, sorrow­ ful confidence, of many things, things for their ears only, and the gray was returning In the northern sky when the girl again left the house, and this time swung resolutely down the road that led to Plainville. Her heart was now at rest; even at peace. In the sacred communion of that last hour she had come to see something of her mother’s problem and sacrifice; and although she was going out Into the world alone, she felt that somewhere, some time, was a solution that would reunite the broken family and tune their varying chords in harmony. From an unhappy sleep In his room .upstairs John Harris was awakened by the whine of the cream separator. 'A qnlet smile stole across his strong, still handsome face. “Beulah has de­ cided. to be sensible,” he whispered to himself. In the morning the Harris house hold was astir early as usual. - The farmer and his son gave their atten­ tion to the horses while Mary pre­ pared breakfast, and it was not until they were seated at the table that Harris noticed his daughter’s absence. “Wbere’a Beulah?” be demanded. “I don’t know,” his wife replied. “Ain’t she up yetT’ 5 "I djn’t know.", Harris rose from the table and went upstairs. He entered his daugh­ ter’s room without knocking. The bed had not been slept In, and a strange ■ apprehension suddenly - tightened ,aboht his chest. He returned quickly to the kitchen. •'"Mary, I want to know where Beu­ lah is.” “I can’t tell you where she is, Johfi. She left here last night.” ‘“Left here? Do you mean that she has run away?" ‘ “Not just that, perhaps, but she has gone, and I’m not looking for her back for a while.” The mother’s voice was dry, and she talked, in the restraint of subdued emotion. .“And you'knew she was going?” “I knew before she left I didn’t—* “No.. You didn't think it was worth mentioning to me. Just a matter we could talk about any time. I suppose you thought I wouldn’t care." : “Well, you didn’t' seem to care very much, John. You gave your orders and went to bed. Beulah could obey or get out. You might have'known j she had enough of your own spirit-to ' soon settle that question. ■ She settled it just as youwoulil'.liave settled It I? you bad; been In her place.” ' “Oh, of course. I’m to blame for the whole -tiling,” said -Harris, and his. throat Wfis thick .as he spoke. His daughter was very-dear to him, and that she would leave home had never entered his head. AVliy should she? Wasn’t he a good father? Didn't he. give her a good home, with plenty to eat and wear, and . a little money to spend from time to time, and no ques­ tions asked? Wliat move could a man do than that? Already his heart was crying out for his daughter—the cry of broken strings, which never knew their strength until they broke. And, lest gentleness should be mistaken for weakness, he clothed his real feelings in sharp words to lds wlfe. “Of course, you must take her part I suppose you',advised her to go. It was an awful thing for me to tell her she must do her work, but a small thing for her to run away. Well, I hope she likes it. If she thinks Tm going to hitch up a buggy and go chasing around- the neighborhood, beg­ ging her to come back, she’s mistaken. She’s gone of her own free will, and she can come back of the same, or not at all.” “I wouldn’t look for her back too soon,” remarked Allan. “Looks to me as though: this thing had all been fig­ ured out ahead. Jim went yesterday morning; Beulah goes last night. Just a chance if they ain’t married by -this time." “So that's it, is It?” exclaimed Har­ ris, jumping up from his untouched breakfast. There was a fierce light in bis eye and a determination In his face that boded ill to any who op­ posed him. He seized his wife rough­ ly by the shoulder. “And you were a party to this, were you? You—you wouldn’t even stop at. that? Well, I’ll stop. it. I’ll stop him, if I do it with a bullet. Fll show him whether any— any—hired man—can cross me In a matter of my own family.” His wife had. risen, and was cling­ ing to his-wrists, half for protection, half In suppliance. “Now, John," she pleaded, “don’t be rash. You don’t £ i It will fee to your interest to get our prices before you start that new house in the spring, for we have the stuff. Any grade you want. I .1Ts silk .Ih ■*.
