The t plAn of the Progressives is to cap- i tare the Republican National Con- ivention by the direct primary in ^selecting delegates. The Old Guard iias set to work to frustrate the ex ecution of this plan. ' .There are now seventeen states that select delegates to the Nation al1 Co nventioii by the primary / sjStem. The total number of de legates to be selected from *hese btate is 4 65 . The Rebublican Na tional Conveation is made up of 9 3 4 delegates. It requires a ma- -> Jaritv of 493 votes to nomintae a candidate, each delegate having one vote Iif the Progressives carried alt^ the states with the 'primary t system they could not nominate their candidate, but in nine: other States the legislatures are now in session and bills are being iutro -duced to inaugurate the primary \ system. ^Tbese nine states have 24 8 .votes in^the convention. It is expected iti^at some if not all of these states iiyiil enact primary laws. If all' of - ibern should adopt the primary 3*48 votes would be added to 46 5 , ? giving a.total of 713 votes or far „ jhore than a majority. - * c The Progressives are confident .that if a majority of the delegates ^fare selected by the primary the ^ ^porah-Johnson-La Follette wing of / flAie psrty will-be able to capture ’J- ihe convention and nominate a Pro-PA**» ®ressive over Warren G.

A lot of energy would be saved if the European nations would realize that the American people never can consent to «a , cancellation of the debts other countries owe 11s. Nor will the United States permit an abatement of the the interest on these debts. The foreign nations know our people kndw that such a cancellation an abatement would mean an additional burden to the American taxpayer. The war cost us enough. In tilne of peace the American citizen is unwilling to en dure further hardships because of it. Thebimkiimabout “stabilizing world conditions” and “adjusting the economic balance" has been dashed on the rocks of forgetfulness by the American public. But sf.ill the European propagandists -.and the international bankers 'persist in their efforts to avoid a legally con tracted debt. It is the duty of our President, our cabinet qfficers, and out repre sentative in Congress to see that all our foreign debts and all the inter ests are fully paid.

Involved. Another set of suits started to re cover moiiey unlawfully obtained from the government by war con tractors is proof of the sincerity of the present administration in its at titude toward-the colossal graft that scandalized the world. This time the men who profited inordinately at the expense of the public in con structing camps for training troops are called to account, and it is well. Excepting possibly the air craft scandal, no part of the war prepara tion was more tinctured by the'idea that Uncle Sam was fair game and should be plucked, while the pack ing was going on than the building of the camps. Not all the blame for this rests on the contractors, however. Sotne portion rightfully belongs to ' the men in- authority who. saw the reckless waste going on under their eyes and made no effort to check the orgy. Ample publicity was given at the time;. Newspapers and periodi- dals.of various kinds carried ac counts of the prodigal expenditures that went on -wherever a camp was constructed: some of this was refer red to with pride, as showing 'the energy and "capacity of Americans; sometimes it was treated lightly, as if the waste of public money was a good joke; sometimes seriously, be cause patriotism regretted the weak ening of the moral fibre of the na- tipn that accompauied such whole some' disregard'' -of Sbutid- TniSi principles and common hoiiesty, Eighty : or ninety-, mil ions of dollars mentioned by the Depart ment of Justice as possibly of Te covery from contractors represents but a part of the 'sum involved These contractors can be reached it will' never be possible to reach all who.shared in the lobt, from the man who.took wages he knew he did not earn to. the- mam who re ceived pay for-goods he did not der liver. - > Ifth e suits suceeded in driving home even a-part of the responsi bility they will be of service. A- mericans have been lenient, even lax, in dealing with- those who dis sipate public funds,, aud who turn a public trust into private snap; Yet a sterner, morality is coming to gov ern'. If a bonus is to be' paid the soldiers in the. shape of adjusted compensation or whatever foriui it may take,’ it should be supported on a better basis than that the men who fought were deprived of the privilege ebjoyed by those ,who stayed at home, that of looting the Treasury of their country.

A man was telling me yesterday of a bad place in tile highway that by an expenditure of only $25 could have been made .passable. But liiten to what’happened before any . effort was made to repair the road way: One fine automobile had ' bearing burned out which perhaps would cost the owner $200 to have renewed; another nfau had the gearing stripped from his car, while many other autorist paid from $3 to $5 to be pulled out of the mud hole. There were idle farmers and idle teams nearby, with a word of' waste tnaterirl to build roads-right in the neighborhood. But it was nobody’s business to fix the road. There was no man on the job. ex cept several drawing good salaries, with practically nothing to do. toasting their shins arouud a good fire in a nice office at the cotmty’s expense.

SIM ON, HAVE M ERCYl SYNOPSIS.—A t the death of his foster father Bruce Duncan, In an eastern city, receives a mysterious message, sent by a Mrs. Ross, sum moning him peremptorily to southern Oregon—to meet ' "Linda.” Bruce has vivid but baffling recol lections of his childhood in an or phanage, before hi3 adoption by Newton Duncan, with the-girl Lin da. A t his destination, TraiVs End, news th at a message has been sent to Bruce gets to* Simon Turner. Leaving the train, Bruce is aston ished a t his apparent fam iliarity with the surroundings, though to his knowledge he has never been there. On the way Simon w arns him to give up his quest and return East. Bruce refuses.- Mrs. Ross, aged and inflrm, welcomes him with emotion. She hastens'him on his way—the end of "Pine-Needle Trail." Bruce finds his childhood playmate, Linda. The girl tells him of wrongs committed by an enemy, clan, the Turners, on her family, \ the Rosses. Lands occupied by the clan were stolen from the Rosses, and the family, w ith the exception of Aunt Elm ira (Mrs. Boss) and herself, wiped out by assassination, Bruce's father, M atthew Folger, was one of the victims. H is m other had fled w ith Bruce, and Linda. The girl, while small, had been kid naped from the orphanage and brought to the mountains. Linda’s father had deeded his lands to M atthew Folger, but the agree ment, which would confute the enemy claims on the property, had been lost. Bruce’s mountain blood responds to the call of the blopd- feud. A giant Jree1 the Sentinel Pine, in front of Linda’s cabin, seems to Bruce’s excited imagination to be endeavoring to convey a message. Bruce sets out in search of a trapper named Hudson, a w it ness to the agreem ent between Linda’s father and M atthew Fol ger. A gigantic grizzly, known as the Killer, is the terror of the vi cinity. Dave Turner, sent by £imon, bribes Hudson to swear falsely concerning the agreement. The Killer strikes down Hudson. - Bruce, on his way to Hudson, wounds the Killer, driving him from his victim. Hudson, learning Bruce’s identity, trie? to tell him the hiding place of the agreement, but death summons him. Dave de- covs Linda dnd Aunt Elm ira from . their home. The m an insuits Linda and is struck down by the aged woman. Elm ira’s son has been murdered by Dave; and a t her com mand, after securely binding the desperado, Linda leaves them aldne. Returning, Bruce finds a note, ap parently from Linda, telling him she has been kidnaped by the Turners. Bruce falls into Simon’s trap, and is made prisoner. Charg ing Bruce with attem pting to re- opsn the blood-feud, the clan de cides to leave him, bound, in a pasture on the spot where the- tiilier had slain and half eaten a calf the night before. They look for the return of the grizzly. full realization ,of all things came to him again. One of the men—he recognized him as Young Bill—led the horse on which he* rode. Two of the clansmen rode In front, grim, silent, incredibly tall fig ures In the moonlight. The remainder, rode immediately behind. Simon him self, bowed In his-saddle, kept a little to one side. Their shadows were long and grotesque on the soft grass of the meadows, and the only hound was the soft footfall of their mounts. A full mile distant across the lush fields the cavalcade halted about a grotesque shadOWyin the grass. Bruce didn’t have to Io.ok at it twice to know what it was: the,half-devoured body of the yearling calf that had been the Killer’s prey the night before. From thence. on, their operations became as outlandish occurrences In a dream. They seemed to know just what to do. They took him from the saddle and bound his feet again, then laid him In the fragrant grass. They Searched his pockets, taking the forged note that had led to his downfall. “It saves me a trip,” Simon commented. He saw two of them lift .the torn body of the animal oh to the back of one of the horses, and he watched dully as the horse plunged and wheeled under the unfamiliar weight Simon spoke In the silence, but his words seemed to come from-.far away. “Quiet that horse or kill him,” he C H A PTER XXI , “If Simon Turner isn’t a coward,” Bruce said slowly to the clan, “he will give me a chance to fight him now.” The room was wholly silent, and the clan turned > expectant eyes to their leader. Simon scowlfed, but he knew he had to make- answer. His eyes crept over. Bruce’s powerful body. “There is no obligation on my part to answer any challenges- by you,” he said. “You are a prisoner. But if you think you can sleep better in the pas ture because of it, I’il let you have your chance. Take off his ropes.” A knife slashed at his bonds.* Simon stood pp, and Bruce sprang from his chair like a’ wildcat, aiming his hard ened knockles straight for the leering Hps-* tie made the attack with aston ishing swiftness and power, and -his intention was to deliver at least one terrific blow before Simon could get his arms up to defend himself. He had given the huge clan leader credit for tremendous physical strength, but he didn’t think that the heavy body could move with real agility. But the great muscles seemed to snap into tension, the head ducked to one side, and his own-nage fists struck out. If Bruce’s blow had gone straight home where it had been aimed, Simon would have had nothing more to say for a few moments at least. The leap had been powerful and swift yet whol ly inaecurate. And the reason was just that his wrists and ankles had been numbed by the tight thongs by which they had been confined. Simon met the leap with a short, powerful blow into Bruce’s face; and he reeled backward. The arms of the clansmen alone kept hini from falllhg. • The blow seemed to daze Bruce; and at first his only realization was that the room suddenly rang with harsh and grating laughter. Then iSimon’s words broke through it. “Put back the thongs,” he ordered, “and go get your horses.” Bruce was dimly aware of the fall ing of a silence, and then .the arms of strong men half carrying him to the door. But he couldn't see plainly at first. He knew that the clan had brought their horses and were waiting for Simon’s command. . They loosened (he ropes from about his ankles, and two of the clansmen swung him on to tile back of a horse. Then Aey passed a rope under the horse’s belly and tied his ankles anew. Simon gave a command, and the strange file started. Tlie night air dis pelled the mists In Bruce’s -bralnl and Simon Stood Up and Bruce Sprang From His Chair Like a Wildcat. said softly. 44Ypu can’t drag the car cass with your rope—(the Killer would trace it if you did and maybe spoil the evening for Bruce.” Strong arms sawed at the bits, and the horse quieted,: trembling.1’ For a moment Bruce saw .their white moon lit faces as they stared down at him. “What about a gag?” ,one of the men asked. • “No. Let him shout if he likes. There Is no one to hear him here." Then the tall men swung on their horses-and headed back across ;tlie fields. Bruce watched them' dully. Their forms grew constantly more dim, the sense of utter isolation increased; Then he saw the file pause, and it seemed to him that- words, too faint for him to understand, reached ' him across the moonlit spaces. Then one of the party turned off toward the ridge. ^ He guessed that it was Simon. He thought the man was riding toward Linda’s home. He watched until the shadows had hidden them all. Then, .straining up ward, he tested his bonds. He tugged with the full strength of his arms, but there was not the play of an inch be tween his wrists. The Turners had done their work well. Not the slight est chance of escape lay in this quar ter. s* *"' * > " He wrenched himself to one side, then ,looked about him. The /fields stretched even Aid distant on one side, bat he^ saw that the dark forest was but fifty yhrds away on the other., He listened; and the little night sounds reached him clearly. They had been sounds to rejoice in before—impulses to delightful fancies Of a fawn steal tag through the thickets, or some of the LitUe People in their scurried, tremulous business of the night hours. But lying helpless at the edge of the forest, they were nothing to rejoice in now. He tripd 'to shut-his ears to themu . He foiled again to /his back and tried to find peace for his spirit In the stars. There, were millions of them. They were* larger and more bright than any time he had ever seen them. They stood in their high places, wholly indifferent and impassive to all the strife and confusion, of the world be- IOw them; and Brace wished,.that.he could partake, of their spirit enough s'o that he could rise, above the fear and bitterness' Umt had begun to oppress him. But only the pines could talk to them. Only the tall trees,, stretching upward toward them, could reach into their mysterious calm. His eyes discerned a thin filament of cloud that had swept up from be hind the-ridges, and the sight recalled him to his own position with added force. The moonlight, soft as it was, had .been a tremendous relief to him.- At least, it would have enabled him to keep watch, and now he dreaded the fall of utter darkness more than he had ever dreaded anything In his life. It was an ancient instinct, coming straight frotp the young days of the world when nightfall brought the hunt ing creatures to the mouth-of the cave, but he had never really experienced it before. ' « He watched with growing horror the slow extension of the clouds. Finally the moon swept under them. . The shadow fell around Bruce. For the first time he knew the age-old ter ror of the darkness. He no longer knew himself as one of a dominant breed, master of all the wild things In the world. He was simply a living creature in a grim and unconquered world, alone .and helpless in the terror of the darkness. The moonlight alternately grew and died as the moon passed in and' out of the heavier cloud patches. Winds must have been blowing in the high lanes of the air, but there was no breath of them where Bruce lay. The forests were silent, and the little rus tlings and stirrings that reached him from time j to time-only seemed to ac centuate the quiet. • He speculated on how many hours had passed. He wondered If he could dcre to hope that midnight had al ready gone by and, through some di vergence from wilderness customs, the grizzly had failed to return to his feast. It seemed endless hours since he had re-entered the empty rooms of Linda’s home. A wave of hope crept through the whole hydraulic system of his veins. And then, as a sudden sound reached him from the forests at one side, that bright wave of hope turned black, receded and left only despair, He heard the sound but dimly. In fact, except for his straining with ev ery nerve -alert, he nfight not have heard it at all. Nevertheless, distance alone had dimmed it; it had been a large sound to start with. So far had it come tliat only a scratch on the eardrums was left of It; but there was ho chance to misunderstand it. It cracked out to him through.-tlie unfath omable silence, and all the elements by which he might recognize it were dis tinct. It was the. noise of a heavy thicket being broken down.and parted before an enormous body. He listened, straining. -Then he heard the sound again. Whoever came toward him- had passed the heavy' brush by now. The sounds that reached him were just faint and inter mittent whispers—first of a twig cracking beneath a heavy foot, then the rattle of two pebbles knocked to-' getlier. Long moments of utter silence* would ensue between, In which’ he could* hear the steady drum of his heart in his. breast, and the long roll of his blood in his veins. The limbs of a young fir tree rustled and whispered as something brushed against them. Leaves flicked together, and once a heavy limb popped like a distant small-calibered rifle as a great weight broke it .in two. Then, as if the gods of the wilderness were using all their ingenuity to torture him, the silence closed down deeper than ever before. It lasted so long that he began to hope again. Rerhaps the sound's had been made by a deer stealing on its way to feed in the pastures. Yet he knew the step had been too heavy for anything but the largest deer, and their way was to encircle a thicket rather than Crash through it. It might have been the step of one of the small, black bears—a harmless and friendly wilderness dweller. Yet the’impres sion lingered and strengthened that only some great huntejva beast who feared neither other Beasts nor men, had been steadily coming toward him through the forest. . At that instant the moon slipped under a particularly heavy fragment of cloud, and deep darkness settled over him. Even his white face was no longer discernible in the dusk. He lay scarcely breathing, trying to fight down his growing terror. This silence could mean but one of two tilings. One of them was that the creature .who-had made the sounds had turned off on one of the many inter secting game trails that wfhd through the forest. This was his hope. The al ternative was one of despair. It was simply that the creature had detected his presence and was stalking him 'In silence tliro.ugh the shadows. He thought that the light would nev er come. - He strained again at the ropes. The dark cloud swept on; and the moonlight, silver ’and bright, broke over the scene. ' . \ The forest stood once more In sharp, silhouette against the sky. He studied with straining eyes the dark fringe of shadows one hundref; feet distant. ■ Then he detected a strange variation in the dark border of shadows. It held his -gaze, and its outlines slowly strengthened. So still it stood, so seemingly a natural shadow that some irregularly shaped tree had cast, that his eyes refused to recognize IL But in an instant more he knew-the truth. The shadow was that of a great beast that had stalked him clear to the border of the moonlight . The Killer had come for his dead. * • Ch X p TER XXII . _ When Linda returned home the events of the night partook even of a greater mystery. • The front door was open, and she found plenty of evidence that Bruce had returned from his journey. In the center of the room lay his pack, a rifle slanting across it - At first she did not notice the gun In particular.. ■ She supposed It was Bruce’s weapon and that he had ,come in, dropped his luggage, and w as-at present somewhere in the" house.. It was true that one chair, was upset,-but except for an instant’s, start she gave no thought to it. She thought that he would probably go to the kitchen first for a bit to eat.* He was.not In this room, however, nor had the lamp been lighted. Her next idea was that Bruce, tired out, had gone to bed. She went back softly to the front room>.intending not to disturb him. Once more she noticed the upset chair. The longer she re garded it, the more pf a puzzle it be came. She moved over toward the pack and looked casually at the rifle. In an Instant more it was in her hands. She saw at once that it was not Bruce’s- gun. The action, make dnd caliber were different. Besides, It had certain peculiar notches on the stock that- the gun Elmira had furnished Bruce-dld not have.... She stood a moment in thought. The problem' offered no ray of light. She considered what Bruce’s first action would have been, on returning to the house to find her absent. Possibly he. had gone In search of her. She turned nnd' went to the door .of his bedroom. She knocked on it softly. “Are.you there, Bruce?” she called. No answer returned to her. The rooms, in fact,-were deeply Silent. She tried the door and found it unlocked. The room had not been occupied. Thoroughly alarmed, she went back into the front room and fried to. de cipher the mystery of the strange weapon. She couldn’t conceive of any possibility whereby Bruce would ex change his father’s trusted gun for this. Possibly it was an extra weapon that he had procured on his journey. And since no possible gain would come of her going out into the forests to seek him, she sat dotfn to waib-for his return. The moments- dragged by and her apprehension grew. She took the rifle in her hands and, slipping the Jever part way back, looked to see if there were a cartridge in the barrel. She saw a glitter of brass, and it gave her a measure of- assurance. She had pistol in her own room—a weapon that Elmira ha«l procured, years- before, from a-passing sportsman—and for a moment she considered getting it also. She understood its action better and would probably be more efficient with it "if the need arose, but for certain never-to-be-forgotten r e a s o n s she wished to keep this weapon until the moment of utmost need. Her whole stock of pistol cartridges consisted of six—completely filling the magazine of the pistol. Closely watched by the Turners, she had been unable to procure more.- Many dreadful nigh#-these, six little cylinders of brass had beei) a tremendous con solation to her,: They had been her, sole-defense, and she knew that in the final emergency she could use them to deadly effect. Lind ft was a girl who had afyaya- looked her situations In the face She was- not one to flinch from the truth and Wjth .false optimism disbelieve IL She knew these mountain realms; bet ter still she understood the dark pas- Sions of Simon and his followers, and 'this little half-pound of steel and wood with its brash shells might- mean, in the dreadful last moment of despair, deliverance from them. It might mean escape for herself when all other ways were cut off. In this wild land, far from ffhe reaches of law. and without allies except for a dpcrepit. old wo man, the pistol and its deadly loads had been her greatJst solace. The hours passed, and the clouds were starting up from the horizon when she thought she.saw Bruce re turning. A tall form camq swinging toward her; over the little trail that led between the’ tree trunks. She peered intently. . * And in one. instant more she knew that the approaching figure, was not Bruce, but the man she* most feared of anyone on earth, Simon Turner. Her thoughts came clear and true. It was obvious that his was no mis sion of sfealth. He was coming boldly, freely, not furtively; and he must have known that he .presented a perfect rifle target from the windows. 'Never-* theless, it is well to be prepared for emergencies. If life m the mountains teaches "'anything, it teaches at. Slie' took the rifle and laid it behind a little desk, out of sight Then'she went to the door, i ‘T want „to come ,In, Linda,” Simon told hew “I told you long pgo yon couldn’t come to this house,” Linda answered through the panels. “I want you to go away.”; . . ’ Simon laughed softly. “You’d bet ter. let me in. Tvfe brought word of the child you took to raise. You know who I mean.” Yes, Linda knew. “Do you mean Bruce?” she asked. “I let Dave In tonight on the same pretext. Don’t expect me to be .caught twice by the same lie.” “Dave? "Where Is Dave?" The fact was that the whereabouts of his broth er had suddenly become considerable of a mystery to Simon. He had thought about him and Linda out in the darkness* togethejr, and his heart had seemed to smolder and burn with jealousy In ids breast; It had been a great relief to him to find her In the house. -- •T wonder—where he is by , now,” Linda answered in' p strange voice. ‘No one in- this world can answer that question, Simon. Tell me what you want.” -She opened the door. She couldn’t bear to show fear -of this man. And she knew that an* appearance of cour age, at least, was.the wisest course. “No matter about him now; .I want to talk to you on business. If I meant TOugh-Tneasures1-I wouldn’t have come alone.” ^ “No,” Linda scorned, “You would have brought your whole murderin; band with you. The Turners believe In overwhelming numbers.” The words stung him, but he smiled grimly into her face “I’ve come in peace, Linda,” he said gently. ‘Tve come to give you a last chance to make friends.” He walked past her into the room. He straightened the chair-that had been upset, smiling strangely the while, and sat down In IL “Then tell me what you have to tell me,” she said. ■ ‘Tm In- a hurry to go to bed—and this really Isn’t the hour for tails.” He looked a long time into her face. She found it hard to hold her own gaze. Many things could be doubted about this man, but his power and his courage were not among them, The smile died from his lips, the lines deepened on his face. She realized as never before the tempestuous passions and unfathomable intensity of his na ture. “We’ve never been good friends ,*1 Simon went on slowly. “We never could be,” the girl an swered. "We’ve stood for different things.” “At first, my efforts to make friends were just—to win you over to our side. It didn’t work—all it did was to waken other desires in me—desires that (per haps have come to mean more than the possession of ,the lands. You know what they are. You’ve always known —that any time you . wished—you could come and rule my house.” She nodded. She knew that she had won, against her will, the strange, somber love of tills mighty man. She had known it for months. “As my wife—don’t make any mis take about that. Linda, I’m a stern, .hard man. I’ve never known how to woo. I don’t know that I want to “ I'T o ld You Long lAgoi Ydu C ouldn't Come to T his House,”. Linda An sw ered T hrough th e Panels. , know how, the way it; is done by weaker men. R has never been my way to ask for what I wanted. But sometimes it'seem s to m efhat if I’d Been a little more gentle—not so mas terful and so relentless—that- I’d won you long ago.” .* Linda looked up bravely into his face/ “No, Simon. You could have never—never won me! Oh, can’t you seer—even in this awful place a woman yarns something more than just briite strength and -determination. Every woman prays to find strength In the man she loves—but it isn’t the kind that you have, the kind that makes your men grovel .W ore you, and makes me tremble when Fm talking to you. It’s a big, calm strength—and I can’t tail you what it is. It’s some thing the pines have, maybe—strength not to yield .to the passions, but to re strain, not to be'afraid'of, but to cling to—to stand upright and honorable and manly, and make a woman strong just to see it in the man she loves.” . He listened gravely. Her cheeks blazed. It was a strange scene—the sllmit room, the Implacable foes, the breathless suspense, the prophecy and inspiration in her tones. “Perhaps I should have been more ; gentle,” he admitted. “I might have forgotten—for a little while—this surg- , tag, irresistible impulse In my muscles —and tried just to woo you, gently and humbly. But It’s too late now. I’m not a fool. I can’t expect you to begin at the beginning. I can only go on In my own way—my hard, remorse less, ruthless way. 4Tt isn’t every man who is brave enough to see what he wants and knock away all obstacles to get it,” he went on. “Put that bravery to my. credit. To pay no attention to meth ods, only to look forward-to the result That has been my creed. It is my creed now.* Many less brave men would fear your hatred—but I don’t ' fear it as long as I possess what I .go after and a hope that I can get you over i t Many of my own brothers hate me, but yet I don’t care as long as they do my will.

The time is almost up when the title to those lands is, secure. Bruce is in our hands—” * She got up, jvhitefneed. “Bruce—?"* “Yes! Did you think he could stand against us? I’ll show him to you In the morning. Tonight he’s paying the price for ever daring to oppose my will.” She turned imploring eyes. He saw them, and perhaps—far distant—he saw the light of triumph, too. A grim smile came to his Ups. “Simon,” she cried. “Have mercy.” The word surprised him. It was the first time she had ever asked Jhis man for mercy. “Then yon surrender—?” “Simon, listen* to me,” she begged, 44Let him go—and I won’t even try to fight you any more. I’ll let you keep those lands and never try any more to make you give them up. You and your brothers can keep them forever, and we won’t try to get revenge on you, either. He and I will go away.” He gazed at her In deepening ,won- . derment. For the moment, bis mind refused to accept the truth. He had known- perfectly the call of the blood in her. He had understood her hatred , of the Turners; he could hate In the same way himself. He realized her love for her father’s home and how she had dreamed of expelling its usurp ers. Yet, she was willing to renounce if all.. The power that had come to her was one that he, a man whose code of life was no less cruel and remorse-, less than th at of the Killer himself, could not understand. 44But why?” he demanded. . 44Why. are you willing to* do all this for him?” 44Why?" she echoed. Once more the luster-was in her- dark eyes. “I sup pose it is because—I love him.” He looked at her with slowly dark-, ening face. Passion welled within him. An oath dropped from his lips, blas phemous, more savage than any wilder ness voice. Then he raised his* arm . and struck her tender flesh. He struck her breast. The brutal ity of the man stood forth at IasL . No; picture that all the dreadful dramas of the wild could portray was more terrible than this.

About three’ thimblefuls of tobacco can be held In the top of the blade, which is hollow and bowl shaped. . The origin of the -tomahawk' pipe dates from the time ;of the- French- Indian war. Indians on the match in sisted on carrying their-stone ;plpes, and the pipes, in addition to the stone tomahawks' added to tjie weight of the marching equipment, so some genius devised this odd combination of pipe and tomahawk. The pipe just presented to the mu seum Is claimed to be the only one of its kind in existence in this part of the country, and was .once in the possession of one of Blackhawk’a squaws. During the removal of the Indians from Illinois to Nebraska, in 1822, ten years before Blackh&wk’s fa mous retreat, Capt. Charles McNeil, Ol the United States army, allow,ed the squaw to ride because she was ill. As a mark of gratitude, she presented the tomahawk pipe to him.—Wisconsin University Bulletin.

Senator-elect Ralston, of Indiana m a speech before the Gincinnati Democratic Duckwortn Club, on Saturday last, declared that the re sponsibility for French invasion of . the Ruhr region rest upon the ' American Congress, because of its resistance to President Wilson’s re parations policy in 1919. ' I It has become habitual with De- mocra ic politicians to blame the United States for every evil thing , that happens in Europe. Governor Ralston seems to have let his im agination play to the limit in his 6 Cincinnati statement. Jt is evident ^tbat there was more partisanship than re pect for the facts of history j involved in his criticism. Criticism of what Congress did in the matter of resisting President WiUon s scheme of European en tanglement is in effect ,criticism of the American people. In 1920 they „ passed a verdict upon Wilson inter nationalism so decisive that when Governor Ralston ran for Senator m Indiana last year he had tl e good tactical judgment to refuse to discus the Versailles treaty and f Xeague of Nations as a campaign jssue. It was only this that saved - 'Mr Ralston from defeat. Never- theiess he has already gone to work \ ,wiih the element in the Democratic ' part} which is trying to make it appear that the action of the Senate j in throttling President Wilson’s C schemes of European involvement, And of the people in approving that j .,am se, was. a mistake, and that .all the ills that human fiesh'is heir to the world over are the natural con * v*^ sequence. V The invasion of the Ruhr region - h due to the aged-old conflict be- * Cl ^iween Germany and France and to i, 4j:he provisions of the Versailles VS5Jtreatj The Congressman elected the people in 1918 cannot ration- j LaJTy be held responsible for either. , ^ ^Congress had nothing 19 do with I ■ ,I t framing of tk ttaty under 4iWHich France claims the right to occupy German territory. For that 1 stapid, vicious war-breeding pact „ President Wilson bears all the A- inefican responsibility. No other ^Aineiican was allowed to have a JflIook in1 ’ on the transactions be- Mnd closed doors at Paris as the re- of which the treaty and league vfeherae were secretly hathed. >- l&othing b,ut jaundiced partisian- ship could hold the Congress of . ^ o resp n siefo rtlieiiiip fiA terms of tk Versailes treatv, ing, with President W ilsVs con_eut, practically every one of tue fourteen points by which the Oerm ms claim they were seduced into 1 a armistice before, being fulh defeated in the field as they inevi- Hbh would have been in a few weeks but for President Wilson’s % ' iusi tence on a negotiated peafce. One of the schemes evolved by President Wilson and two or three Ofljf-r men who had to do with frammig the Versailles treaty was that of calling territoral acqusitions by the allies ‘ ‘mandates. ’ ’ By this scheme Germany was /deprived of anv ^credit upon her account with the pctorious powers for the cession o£ territory equal in erea to haif of Hu^ppe. The terms of the Versail les treaty were so manifestly im- pO^|)le of fulfillment that Gengril of South - Africa, the 'statesman who -JiiiMttt' the Jafi'S aiuts, 1 table. declared that he signed tituteif protest because' the .

What they say .they mean is that a few well chosen phrases from Washington would settle the whole European muddle. President Wil son contributed a. good many thous and phrases to the European situa tion without composing if- Europe demonstrated very clearly before our active participation in Euro pean politics ceased, that what she wanted out of us was not advice, but .American blood and treasure to be poured out m keeping up the Kilkenny fight on the other side of the Atlantic. Europe has a civilization it wouid be. a calamity to lose. But Europe’s troubles are not, as De mocratic orators like to allege, due to the cussedness of the Republican party in the United States. They are due to a political system Eu rope needs economic unity patter ned after that of the United States. Only that will make the 57 varieti es of nations in Europe sufficiently indenpendent economically to kill the desire that every one of these nations has for something belong ing to its neighbors. France wants the coal deposits and steel mills of Germany just as Germany before the war wanted the markets ot the Near East and dominance in ■ the Balkans. President Wilson’s cure for the war breeding system of multiplied nationalities ... was 2^0; create^sKf^en^eW ; sixteen new causes: of war. , This was was because he was theoretical ly a believer ;n the European rather than the American system of gov- ernmeut. Over ,there they believe that every little movement should have a nation of its^own: here we have united 4 S commonwealths in in one nation and have performed the miracle of fusing a ll. elements 11 cmtatioii iiiio one naiioiial strain. Isn’t it about time for those who claim to be good Americans, no matter what their politics, to drop this custom of blaming the United .States for all of Europe’s troubles? We nave made. great sacrifices in behalf of Europe and have earned, apparently, only the enmity and jealously of the beneficiaries of our participation in the World War. The stateuiriit that we are to blame for what is going on in ,Europe now ance of tlie situation or from a de . &sire to gain some, partisan advan tage or exploit some pet propa ganda at the expense of the reputa^ tion apd the Welfare of the United States.—National Republican. Never Did Like Ibdian. An Oklahoiqa editor tells of an old Indian that came into his of fice to pay for his paper. The editor took the money,'--then the Indian wanted a receipt. The editor tried to talk him out of it. Mr. Indian insisted on ,getting the receipt. After making it the editor wanted to know why was so.' per sistent about wanting a. receipt. The Indian sai^d; “ Me die some, time. Go to big gate and St. Peter ask if I bee'n good Indian. I : say yes. He say did you . pay' your debts? I say yes. H e say, did you pay editor for paper? I say yes. He say where is receirt? I no have. it. I have to run all over to hell to find you and get receipt.” . . 9 It’s pretty hard \ for the ojd-fasji- ioned man to get used to the new- fashioned banker. The old-time money-lender greeted the borrower with .a look'of suspicion that made him feel like a criminal. The new kind sometimes gives' him a cigar even when he turns him .down • How. do you like The Record? 9 - The Great American Sucker. Barnum said one was born every minute. No one ever has disputed him. Some authorities have main tained that he was unduly conserva tive. But whether the number is more or less than- one a minute, the fafct is that the Great American Sucher dumped $600,000,000 into the pockets of the fake-stock promoters in 1922, according to the figures provided by the executive board of the Associated Advertising Clubs of America. Oil stocks, as of yorfe, continue to lure the American dollars out of the strong boxes and banks. The promise of huge profits hypnotizes the rural dweller and the citv.man alike, and throwing caution to the winds, they hand out the coin to the oily-tongued artists of swindledom on demand. Time was when the newspapers of the county were a helpful me dium for the : swindler. But that time is past It is impossible for a swindler to get his advestisements in the great majority of newspapers today. k But necessity is the. mother of in vention, and now the fake stock pro moter has his own medium. Of this the chairman of vigilance commit tee of the Ad Club says: “Deprived of the use of the ad verting columns of most newspapers promoters are resorting to the publi cation of their own journals, though the columns of .which they can fea- tare the schemes in which they; are. is to merge defunct oil companies, the stockholders of which are then approached with the appeal that an additional payment will save their original investments,” Once more The Tennessean is im pelled to advise its readers, to be ware the stock salesman.

Too Many Guns. After reading the papers and trying to figue o'lit the tangle ov'e£ seas the average question is: ‘ ‘ What’s the matter with Europe?’ ’ AndithnIta question that ,easily answered. As we see it tlie greatest I trouble over there seems to center iu the fact tl^at Europe now. has 4,500,000 men under . arms. • A quarter of a million ,are encamped,7 gun in hand, in the Near East. Fifty warships ready for action, •ready for action,' are, frowning upon Constantinople. Two per cent of the entire population of Europe is ablebodied and could be producing something to eat instead pf being forced to do military ser vice. Or if not actually .producing food tney. could be turning out something that. the woijld needs, and is will to pay for. T^e 4,500,- 000 men now bearing arms could; solve Europe’e problems in a single year if they were stripped out of their guns and tools or given agri' cultural implements.

Eight hundred and fifty thous and, uine hundred and eleven run ning bales of cotton, or n o per cent as eoiiipartd wilh 1521, w e ginned in North Carolina up to January I, 1923. Frank Parker, of th$ North Carolina and United States departments of agriculture, announced in making public the ginnings by counties in the State. “The difference is explained on the ground that the acreage was in creased about thirteen per cent for the State as a whole,” he. said, ''‘the largest .increase being in the north ern, or border counties, whereas• 1 Ilie SOiiihcnil or mole seriously 1 weevil interested counties either were the same or reduced. “The yield, followed much the line of increase in acreage for the same reason, excepting that in the - coastal belt, where weather condi- tions^resulted in losses. "It is to be especially noted that Davidson and Davie counties had*200 per cent increase in the ginned bales. Rowan, Iredell, Rutherford, Lincold, Orange, Durham, Warren, Wake, Vance, Chatham, Moore, Northamoton, Pasquotank and some others had about fifty per cent or more increase over the preyious season.” . • Davie led the state in percentage of gain, 265, while Davidson came second with 205. However, much Davidson cotton was ginned in Davie and some in Rowan. The percentage are based on cotton gin ned in a county. Still, if you worry about your past you won’t have so much time to wony about your future. Those who won’t' work until the mood strikes them are likely to find hunger striking them first.

If you are willing to faithfully follow' the rules for weevil control, rules dis covered- by tlje U. S.

For the information, of our good friends who grow cotton, we briefly state below the ten rules to be followed. Tear them out 'of tills paper, and keep them ever 6. Coltisate crops every week or ten days, especially during early stages, to promote growth. 7. Kill weevils when they first emerge from winter quarters. .They will first ap pear in small areas near woods, haystacks or shelter. Poison them- quickly or pick them by hand. 8. Gather and destroy infected squares. When squares fia-e open and turn brown the young weevils are in them. This Is your chance to do-the weevils the most damage. Gather all such squares, whether on stalks or on ground, and destroy them. 9. Ubs calcium arsenate poisoning on - small acreage under advice of your county self how many you can handle profitably. 2. Prepare land early. Breakbeavylands In the Fall, sandy lands earlier than usual. 3. Plant early, using delinted seed for quicker germination and better stand. 4. Plant early fruiting varieties, such as Cleveland, Cook or Express. 5. Fertilize liberally, both to hasten ma turity and to set unusual quantity of fruit You must depend on phosphoric acid for an early crop. 8 to 10 per cent on sandy soils and 9 to 12 per cent on heavy soils.

Gather cotton ' and immediately plow up or otherwise kill the green stalks on which the weevils feed. Because of the part fertilizer play s in mak ing the early crop which is so necessary, you will want to pe more careful than ever to choose a dependable, reliable mixture.

G r a d e ’s P e p t o - ^ a n s f a n Tonic and Blood Enricher/ Necessary .to Supplement Fertilizer- With • Lacking Element — Best. Methods of Handling Cannot Correct Lacking Matcr.al. Barnyard manure is'used by .nv'-n successful farmers as an - economi, ;tl means of Increasing crop yields and maintaining soil, fertility. . But the composition of barnyard manure as related to soil buHding and permanent agriculture is not so generally known. To get the largest rfiturus from manure it is necessary to supplement it with the element in which it is de ficient. Composition of Manure. A ton of average barnyard manure contains ten pounds of nitrogen, two' pounds of • phosphorus, and eight pounds of potassium, according to L. F. Wainscott, assistant in the soils department of the Missouri College of Agriculture. Comparing this com position with a standard commercial fertilizer such as 2-12t2, one can see that manure, is relatively-deficient ini the element of phosphorus. This ele ment has been sold in the grain or retained by the animal body and is not found in the manure in such large quantities as'the nitrogen and potas sium. To Correct Deficiency. Although many factors influence the composition of barnyard manure, even the best methods of handling cannot correct this deficiency. Oniy one metho'd of supplying the deficiency is known, and that is to reinforce the manure with .mineral phosphate: Many soils-are deficient in phos phorus. On many 'of them phosphorus is thought to be the limiting element. DAMAGE TO FARMERS Crows and Robins Found Natural Enemies of Pests.

H ilf unconscious; she listened to his ^p«tex»s. He was out in the moonlight, evanishing among the trees. Strange ' vJintics swept her, ail' fn the smallest ■^--fraction of an instant, and a voice spol e clearly. With all the strength of hei will she dispelled the mists-of dawning unconsciousness that the pain had wrought and crept swiftly to the [§> little desk placed against the wall. Her to hand fumbled in the shadow'behind it Ir and brought but a glitteringjifle. Then Sr she cfrept to the open doorway. ^ • f Lying on the floor, she raised the x weapon to her shoulder. Her thumb n pressed back, strong and unfaltering, s against the hammer; and.she heard it Sr click as it sprung into place. Then I she looked along the barrel until she s. saw the swinging forztf of Shnon fr through the sights. ’ ' . ^ s There was no Temorse in that -cold s gaze of hers. The wings of death i hovered over the man, ready to swoop I down. Her fingers curled tighter i about the trigger.' One ouiice more pressure, and Simon’s track of wicked ness and bloodshed would have come to an end at last. But at that instant her eves widened with the dawn of an idea. She knew this man. - She knew the hatred that was upon him. And she realized, as if by an inspiration from on High, that before he went to his house to sleep he would go once more inlo the presence of Bruce, confined somewhere among these ridges and .sufienng the punishment of having Dpposetr his will. Simon, would want one look to see how his plan was get ting on: perhaps he would want to ut ter one taunting word. And Liiida saw her chance. Sne -dropped the rifle and da.rted into lief own room. There. she.pro cured a weapon that she trusted more, her little pistol, loaded with six cart ridges. If she had understood the real na ture of the danger that Bruce faced Mie would have retained ,the rifle. It si.ot with, many times the smashing Power of the little gun,. amT a f long range was many times as accurate, but even it woijld have seemed an inef- fcctive defense against such an enemy •i5s was even now creeping toward Li-Uces body. But-she knew that in a (i isis. against such of the TupierS as Phc thought she might have to-facet it u»uld serve her much better than the you wislfa .u..ie awkward heavier weapon. Be- Mdcs1 she knew how to wieid it, and '"I her life she had kept it for just Mirii an emergency, i , TIie pain of the blow was quite gcjne lm'v. rxrept for a strange sickness that h“i, encompassed her. But she was never colder of nerve and surer of muscle.' CunDingly she lay down again before she crept through the door, so that if-Simon chanced to look about he would fail' to see'that she followed him. She crept to the thick ets, : then stood up. Three hundred' yards down the slope , she could ’ see Simonts dimming ,,figure in the moon light, and swiftly she sped after him,■ \ CHAPTER XXIII The shadow that Brpce saw at the edge of the forest could not be mis- ♦takeff as to identity. The liopes that he had held before—that this stalking figure might be that ot a deer .or an elk—could no longer be entertained. Men, as a rule, do not love the wild and wailing sobs of -a coyote, as he looks down upon a camp fire from the ridge above. Sleep does not come eas ily when a gaunt wolf walks in a slow, inquisitive' circle about the pallet, scarcely a leaf rustling beneath his feet. And a few times, in the history of the froiitier, men have had queer tinglings and creeplngs In the scalp when they have happened to glance over their shoulders and see the eyes of a great, tawny puma glowing an odd blue in the. firelight. Yet, Brucae would have had any one of these, or all three together, In preference to the Killer. The reason was extremely simple. No words have ever been capable of expressing the depths of cowardice of .which a coyote is capable. He will wliine and weep about a camp, like a soul lost between two worlds, but if he is in his right mind he would have eaehione of his gray hairs plucked out, one by one, rather than attack a man. Tlie cunning breed to which he belongs has found out that it doesn't pay. The wolf is sometimes disquietingly brave when he is fortified by his pack breth ren in tike winter, but in such a Season as this he. is particularly careful to keep out of the sight of man. And the Tawny One ldmself, whlte-fanged and long-clawed and powerful as he is, never gets farther than certain dread ful, speculative dreains. But' none, of these'was true of the Killer. He had" already shown his scorn of men. His'very stride showed that he feared no living creature that shared the forest, with him. In fact, he considered himself the forest mas ter.- The bear is neve’r'a particularly timid animal, and whatever timidity the Killer possessed was as utterly gone. as yesterday’s daylight. Bruce watched him with unwinking eyes. It might be that the Killer would fail to discern his outline. Bruce had no conscious knowledge, as yet, that it is movement rather than form to which the eyes of .the wild creatures are most receptive. But he acted up on that fact now as if by instinct. He was not lying in quite the exact spot where the ICillerhad left his dead the preceding night, and possibly his out line was not enough like it to attract the grizzly’s attention. Besides, in the intermittent light, it was wholly pos sible that the grizply would try to find the remains of his feast by smell ,alone: and if this were lacking, and Bruce maac no movements to attract his attention, he might wander away in search of other game. For the.first time in his life, Bruce knew Fear as it really was. It is a knowledge that few dwellers in cities can fiossibly have; and so few times has it really been experienced in these days of civilization that men have mostly forgotten what it is like. If they ex perience it at all, it'is" usually only In a dream that arises from the germ- plasm—a , nightmare to paralyze the muscles and chill the heart and freeze a man in his bed. The moon was strange and white as it slipped in and out of the clouds, and. the forest, mys terious• as Death itself, lightened and darkened, alternately with a strange effect of • unreality; but Tor all that, Bruce could not make himself believe that this was just a 'dream. Tlie dreadful reality remained that the Killer, whose name and works he knew, was even now investigating him from the shadows one hundred feet away. • The fear that came to him was that of the young world—fear without rec ompense, direct and primitive fear that grew on. him like a sickness. It was the fear that the deer knew as they crept down their dusky trails at nigiit: it was the fear of darkness and silence and pain and heaven knows what cruelty that would be vis ited upon him by those terrible .rend ing fsings and claws. It was the fear that can be heard in the pack song in the dreadful winter season, and that can be felt-in strange overtones. In the sobbing wail of despair that £hfe coyote utters in the half-darkness. He had been afraid for iiis life every moment he was in the hands of the JSjBrners. He knew that if lie survived’this night, he would have td face .death again. He had no liopes of deliverance',alto gether. But the Turners were men, and they worked with knife blade and bullet, hot rending fang add claw. He could face men bravely; but It was hard to keep a strong heart in the face of this ancient fear of beasts. The Killer seemed disturbed and moved slowiy aloDg the edge of the moonlight. B,ruce could trace his movements by the irregularity In the line o f 'shadows. He. seemed to be moving more cautiously thpn ever, now Bruce could not hear the slight, est sound. iFor an instant he on exult EDISON MARSHALL Author of “ T h e U o ic e o f t h e P a c k ” Copyright by Little, Brown, and Co. ant hope that the bear would continue on down the edge of the forest and leave him; and his heart stood still as the great beast paused, sniffing. But some smell In the air seemed to reach him, and he came stealing back. In reality, the Killer was puzzled. He had come to this place straight through the ■ forest, with .the. expecta tion that .food—flesh to tear with, his fangs—would be waiting for him.. And now, as he waited af the border of the darkness, he knew that a strange change had - taken place. And the Killer did not like strangeness. The smell that he had expected had dimmed to such an extent that it pro moted no muscular impulse.' Perhaps it was, only obliterated by a stranger smell—one that was vaguely familiar and wakened a slow, brooding anger in his great beast's heart, .. H e'was not timid; yet-he retained some of his natural caution and re mained In the gloom while he made, his investigations. Probably it was a hunting instinct alone. He crept slow ly up and down the border of moon light, and his anger seemed to grow and deepen ,within him. He felt dimly that he had been cheated out of his meal. And once before he. had been similarly cheated; but there had been singular triumph at the end of that experience. AU at once a movement, far across the pasture, caught his attention. It seemed that some one had come, taken one glance at the drama at the edge of the ,forest^ -and had departed.' Bruce himself had not seen the figure; and perhaps it was the mercy of Fate •not usually merciful—that lie did not. He might have been caused to hope again, only to know a deeper despair when the man left him with out giving aid. For the tall form had been that of Simon coming, as Linda had anticipated, for a moment’s in spection of his handiwork. And see ing that it was good, he had depart ed again. The grizzly watched him go, then turned back to his questioning-regard of the strange, dark figure that lay. so. prone In the grass in front. The darkness dropped over him- as the moon, went .behind a heavy patch of cloud. . - And in that moment the Killer un derstood. He remembered now. Pos sibly the upright form of Simomhad suggested it to him; possibly the wind had only blown straighter and thus permitted him to identify the troubling smells. AU at once a memory flashed over him—of a scene in a. distant glen, and similar tall, figures that tried to drive him from bis food. He had charged then, struck once, and one of tlie. forms had. Iainwery still. He remembered the pungent, maddening Odor that had reached him after his blow bad gone home. Most clearly of all, he remembered how his claws had struck and sunk. He knew this strange shadow now.- It was just anqther of that tall breed he had learned to hate, and it. was sim ply lying prone as his foe had done after the charge beside Little river,' In IVWiIy- -t=6S- The Blade Glittered; but Linda Was Afraid to Look at it Closely. fact, the"still-lying form recalled the other occasion with particular vivid ness. The excitement that he had felt before returned to him now; he re membered his disappointment when Jhe whistling bullets from the hillside above had driven him from his dead. But there were no whistling bullets- now, Except for .them, there would have been further rapture beside that stream; but. he might have it now. The old hunting madness came back- ,to hirni It was fair, game, tills that lay so still in. the grass, just as the body of the-^tlf had been and just as the warm body, of Hudson In the distant glen. , ' The wound ut his side gave him a twinge of ,pain. I t served to make his memories all the clearer. The lurid lights grew in his. eyes. , Rage syegt over him. tained enough of his hunting caution to know that to stalk was the proper course.- He moved farther out. from the edge of the forest. sAt that instant the moon cnme out- arid; revealed him, all too vividly, to Bruce. The Killer’s great gray figure In the silver light was creeping to ward him across the silvered grass. ’* ♦ - *' * When Linda left her house, her first realization was the need of caution. It would not do to let'Simon see her. And she knew that only her long train ing in the hills,.her practice In climb ing the winding trails, would enable Iier to keep pace with the fast-walking- man without being seen. In her concern for Bruce, Linda, had completely forgotten the events of the earlier part* of the evening.' Wild and stirring though they were, they now seemed to her as incidents of reiribte years, nothing to be remembered In this hour of crisis. But she remem bered them vividly when, two hundred yards from the house, she saw two strange figures coming toward her be tween the-moonlit tree trunks. There was very little of reality about either. , The foremost figure was bent and strange, but she knew that it could be no one but Elmira. The second, however—half-obscured behind her—offered no interpretation of outline at all at first, But at the turn of the trail she saw both figures in vivid profile. Elmira was coming homeward, bent over her cane, and she led a saddled horse by its bridle rein. Still keeping Simon in sight, Linda raff swiftly toward her. She didn’t .understand the deep awe. that stole over her—an emotion 'that even her fear for Bruce could ‘ not transcend. There was a quality in Elmira’s face and -posture that she had never seen before. It was as if she were ,walking in her sleep, she came with such a strange heaviness and languor, her cane creeping through the pine needles of the trail in front. She did not seem to be aware of Linda’s approach until the girl was only ten feet dis~ tant. Then she looked up, and Linda saw the moonlight on her face. She' saw something else too, but she didn’t know wliat it was. Her own eyes widened. The thin lips were drooping, the eyes looked as if she were asleep. The faee~was a strange net- of wrinkles in the soft light. Ter rible emotions had but recently died and Ipft-their ashes upon it. But Linda knew that this was fio time to stop and wonder and ask questions.' “Give me the horse,” she command ed. MTm going- to help Brjice.” “You can have it,” Elmira answered in an unfamiliar voice. “It’s the horse that—that Dave Turner rode here—- and he won’t want him any more.” Linda took the rein, passed it over the horse’s head, and started to swing into the saddle. Then she turned with a gasp. as the woman slipped some thing into her hand. Linda looked down and saw it was the liilt of the knife that 'Elmira had carried with her when the two women had gone with Dave into the woods. Tlie blade glittered: but Linda was afraid- to look - at it closely. . “You might- need that, 'too,” the old woman said. “It may be wet—I can’t remem ber. But take it, anyway.” Linda hardly heal’d; She thrust the blade into the leather of the saddle, then swung on the horse.’ She rode swiftly until she began to feaff Simon might hear the hoof beat of her mount; then she drew up to a walk. And when she had crested the hill and had followed down its long slope into the glen, the moon went under the clouds for the first time, Slie lost sight of Simon at once. Seemingly Ler effort to save Bruce had come to nothing,., after all. But -sWe didn’t turn back. There were light patches in - the sky, and the moon might shiDe forth again. She followed down the trail toward the cleared lands that the Turners cul tivated. She went to their very edge. It was a rather' high point, so -she waited here for the moon to emerge again. Never, it"seemed to her, had-it moved so slowly. But all at once its light flowed forth' over the land. • Her' eyes searched the distant spaces, but she could catch no glimpse of Simon between the trees. Evi dently he no longer walked .in the direction of the house. Then she looked out over -the tilled lands. Almost a quarter of a mile away she saw - the flicker, of a miniature shadow. Only, the vivid quality of the moonlight, against which any shadow was clear-cut and sharp, enabled her to discern it at all. It was Simon, and evidently his business had taken him into. Ihe meadows. Feeling that she was on the-right track at last , she urged her horse forward again, keep ing to the shadow of the timber at first. ' 1" . . Simon walked almost parallel to the dark- fringe for nearly a mile ; then turned off into, the tilled lands. She rode opposite him and reined In the horse to w^teh. . When the distance had almost ob scured him, she saw him stop. He waited a long -time, then turned back. Ihe moon -went in and out of the clouds. Then, trusting to the. distance to conceal her, Linda rode slowly out into the clearing. Simon re-entered the timber, bis in spection seemingly - done,' and Linda still rode In the general direction he bad gone. A curious sense of ini- But MID. • u«u- svus. - -- he didn’t charge blindly. He re-[pending events came over her as die lieaded on toward -the distant wall of forest beyond.. Then, the clouds slowly dimming un der the moon, the light grew with al most imperceptible encroachments. At first It was only bright enough to show her own dim shadow on the grass. The utter gloom that was over the fields lessened and drew away like' receding Curtains; her vision reached ever farther, the shadows grew more clearly outlined and distinct. Then ,the moon rolled forth into a wholly open patch of sky—a -white sphere with a, sprinkling of vivid stars around it—and the silver radiance poured do^vn. it was like the breaking of dawn. The fields stretched to incredible dis tances about her. The forest beyond emerged in distinct Outline; she could see every Irregularity in the plain. And in one fnstant’s glance she knew that she had found Bruce. His situation went home to her in one sweep of the eyes. Bruce was not alone. Even now a great, tower ing figure was creeping toward him from the forest Linda cried out, and -with the long strap of her rein lashed her horse into the fastest pace it knew.. Bruce did not hear her come. He lay In the soft grass, waiting for death. A great calm had come upon him; a strange, quiet strength that the pines themselves might have lent to him ; and he made -no cry. In this dreadful last moment of despair'the worst of his terror had gone and left his thoughts singularly clear. And but one desire was left to him; that the Killer might be merciful and, end his existence with one blow. It was not a great deal, to ask for; but he knew perfectly that only by the mercy of the forest gods could it come to pass. They are usually not so kind to the dying; and it is not the wild- animal way to take pains to kill at the first blow. Yet his eyes held straight. • The Killer crept slowly toward him; more and more of his vast body was revealed above the tall heads of the grass. And now all that Bruce knew was a great wonder—a strange expectancy and awe of what the. opening gates of darkness would reveal. The Killer mpved with dreadful slowness arid deliberation. He was no longer afraid. It was just as it had been before—a warm figure lying still and helpless for his own terrible pleas ure, A few more steps and he would be near, enough to see plainly; then —after the grizzly habit—to-fling into the charge. He paused, his muscles setting. And then the meadows sud denly rang with the undulations of his snarl, Almost unconscious, Bruce did not Understand what had caused his utter ance. But strangely, the bear had lift ed his head and was staring straight over him. For the first time Bruce heard the wild beat of hoofs on the turf behind him. He didn’t have time to turn and look. There was no opportunity even for a flood of renewed hope. Events followed upon one another with star tling rapidity. The sharp, unmistak able crack of a pistol leaped through the.-dusk, and a bullet sung over his body. And then a ,wild-riding figure swept up to him. It was Linda, firing- as she came. How she had been able to control her horse and ride him into that scene of peril no words may reveal. Per haps, running wildly beneath the lash, his starting eyes did not discern or in terpret the gray figure scarcely a score •of yards distant from Bruce; and It Is true the grizzly’s pungent smell— a thing to ..terrify much more and' to be interpreted more clearly than any kind of dim form in the moonlight— was blown in the opposite direction. Perhaps the lashing strap recalled the terrible punishment the horse had un dergone earlier that evening at the hands of Simon and no room Was7Ieft for any lesser terror. But most likely of all, just as In the case of brave, soldiers riding' their horses into bat tle, the girl’s own strength and cour age went into him. . . Tbe bear reared up, snarling with wrath, but for a moment it dared not charge. The gpdden appearance of the girl and the horse held him mo mentarily at bay. The girl swung to the ground in*-one leap, ilred jOgaiD1 thrust her arm through the loop of the bridle rein, then*knelt at Bruce’s side. The white blade that she car ried in her left hdnd' slashed at his bonds. - ' " ^ The horse, p'^nging, seemed to jerk her body back and forth, and endless seconds seemed to go by before the last of the thongs was severed.- In reality'the whole rescue was unbeliev ably swift. The nian helped her all he could. “TJp—up into the saddle,” she commanded. The grizzly growled again, advancing remorselessly toward them, and twice more she fired. Two of the bullets went home in his great' body, but their weight and shocking ppwer were too slight to affect him. He went down once more oh all fours, preparing to charge. Bruce, In spite of the fact that his limbs had been nearly paralyzed by the tight bonds, managed to grasp the saddle'nom, In the strength of new born -hope he pulled himself half up on it, and he felt Linda’s strong arms behind him-pushing up. The horse plunged In deadly fear; and the Killer leaped toward -them. Once more the pistol cracked. Then-the borse broke and ran in a frenzy of terror. Bruce was full in the saddle by then. and even at'th e first leap his arm swept out to the girl on the ground beside him. He swung her toward him, and at the same time her hands caught at the arching back of the saddle. For the first fifty feet she was half dragged, but slowly—with Bruce’s help—she pulled herself up to a position of security.. The Killer's charge-had come a few seconds too late. For a moment he raced behind them- in insafie fury, but only his savage growl leaped through the darkness fast enough to catch up with them. And the distance slowly widened. ' The Killer had been cheated again; and by the same token Simon’s oath had been proved untrue. For once the remorseless strength of which he boast ed had been worsted by a greater strength; and love, not hate, was the power that, gave it. Fqr once* a girl’s courage—a courage gretiter than that with which he obeyed Jhe dictates of, his cruel will—had cost him his vic tory. The war that he and his out law band had begun so long ago had not yet been won. Indeed, if Simon could have seen what the moon saw as It peered out from behind the clouds, he would have known that one of the debts of blood incurred so many years ago had even now been paid. Far away on a dis tant hillside there was one who gave fcWf HO For the First Fifty Feet She Was Half Dragged. no heed to the fast hoof beats of the speeding horse. It was Dave Turner, and his trail of lust and wickedness was ended at last. 'He lay with Hfted face, and there were curious dark stains -on the pine needles. And the pines, those tall, dark sen tinels of the wilderness, seemed to look down upon him In passionless con templation, as if they wondered at the stumbling ways of men. Their branches rubbed together and made words aa the wind swept through them, but no man may say what those words were. BOOK TH REE' ' _ ' - . t /COMING OF THE STRENGTH CHAPTER XXlV . Fall was at hand' at Trail’s E n i The spirit of autumn had' come with golden wings. A buck deer—a noble creature with six points on his spreading horns—go® the first inkling of it when he stopped at a spring to drink. The air.had been chill in bis nostrils, but thanks to a heavy growth of hair that—with mysterious foresight—had ■ begun to . come upon his body, it gave him no discomfort. But it was a puzzling and significant thing that the water he bent to Mrink had been- transformed to something hard and white and burn ing cold to the tip of his nose. . It was the first real freeze. True, for the past few -nights there had been a measure. of' tinkiiDg, cobweb frost ; on the ground in w’et places, but even the tender-skinned birds—always most watchful of signs of this kind—had disregarded it. But there was no dis regarding this half-inch of blue ice that had covered the spring. The buck deer struck it angrily with his front hoofs, broke through and drank; then went snorting up the hill. . His anger was in itself a significant thing. In the long, easy-going summer, days, Blacktail had almost forgotten what anger was like. He had been content to roam over the ridges, crop ping the leaves and grass, avoiding danger and growing fat. Bnt all at once, tills kind of existence had palled 'on him. He felt that he wanted only one thing—not food or drink, or safe ty—but a good, slashing, hooking, hoof- carving battle with another buck of his own species. An unwonted cross- - ness had come upon him, and his soft eyes burned with a blue fire. He re- . membered the does, too—with a sud den leap of his 'blood—and wondered where they 'were keeping themselves. Being only a beast he did not know that this new belligerent spirit was just as much a sign of fall as the'soft blush that was coming on the leaves. The simple fact was that fall means the beginning of the rut—the wild mat ing days when’the bucks battle among themselves and choose their hgrems of does. . !< B ruce an d L in d a, facin g , m ore tro u b le,-d ecid e n ev e r to yield.

PROPOSED BY HOUSE COM MITTEE. BILL GOHS PROVISIONS New Bill Would Limit Immigration to Two Per Cent of National Res idents Under 1890 Census. Washington--A bill providing for sweeping changes in the immigration laws was reported by the house im migration committee. , The measure would restrict immi gration from all Countries to two per cent of their national residents in the United States under the census of 1890, and exclude Japanese with the exception of certain students and scientists as well as other persons not eligible to citizenship. The bill contains provisions design ed to prevent the division of fam ilies, by admitting immediate rela tives of naturalized citizens and those who have declared their intention to become citizens. It ,also provides that all nations should have a minimum quota of 400 persons eligible to enter the United States before the two per cent Is ap- m il aliens under the law, the bill would provide for the issuance of certificates of eligibility abroad. The bill was brought out as a sub stitute for a senate measure provid- ing for the admission of 25,000 Arme nian orphans, Under this procedure committee members believed it could be placed before the senate as a.con ference report, which would have the right of way, and assure the final ac tion at the present session of con gress. Chairman Johnson, of. the commit tee, said the Japanese exclusion sec tion, which would not apply to min isters of the gospel, members of learn ed professions,- or bona fide students, merely would translate into the law the “gentlemen’s agreement” be- I S t t H li J p i affecting immigration. < , Unto lb present Iw1 Ttbji He HI R t t M Rfainb ed at 3 per cent based on the census of' 1910, and; it was explained, the change would increase the proportion from southern and eastern Europe. Although the number admitted under the quota restrictions would be very sharply reduced, Committee members said the provision designed to avoid the division of families would mate rially offset the reduction. The bill would not operate against immigration .from Canada, New Foundland, Mexico, Cuba and Central and South America, provided those seeking admission had been resident in those countries for five years. 35 Dead In Canadian Mine Explosion. Cumberland, B. C.—The death toll in an explosion in No. 4 mine at the Canadian collerida (Dunsmuir), limit ed, two miles from here, was definite ly placed at 14 while miners and 20 Chinese, in a statement issued by mine officials here. Twenty-six bodies have been brought to the surface. Seven men, brought to the mine’s mouth by rescue parties after heroic endeavors, were taken to a hospital where they' lay unconscious, but with a chance for life.. There were 300 men on the night shift, which was on duty when the explosion occurred. Cumberland wa3 a place of mourn ing. Women and children gathered about, awaiting fearfully for identifi cation. During the long night, while rescuers worked feverishly with the determination to save the fives of at least a few of the imprisoned men, the groups gathered conversed frightfully in unrertone. The rescue work went on slowly. The men -would work only four abreast. Each of the rescuers worked until he was exhausted. . Then he was relieved by another. Men familiar with the mine said the explosion was undoubtedly due to the presence of both gas and dust. The work of penetrating, the mine is extremely, dangerous with volumes of gas pouring through the tunels. The first body found was that of a 15-year-old boy. Rescue workers saw him In the hoist some time before they reached him, but he died before help arrived. Like many others he was bleeding at the nose, ears and mouth and the skin.on his face and handS was scorched from the heat following the explosion. The explosion occurred in No. 2, east drive, and that portion of the mine was badly wrecked.

Campaign Philosophy. “In Addressing your constituents do you impress them that you are a pub lic servant?” “Always,” said Senator Snorts- worthy. “I’m a great, believer in the power of suggestion. By continually dwelling on the fact that I am a serv ant of the people I hope to convince them that I am as necessary to their happiness as a dependable cook or a competent chauffeur.” Kind but Firm. “What would you do if you caught anybody cheating in this poker game?” asked the stranger in Crimson Gulch. “We aim to be fair and humane," answered Cactus Joe. “We’d pimply chip in to pay his board and hire an attendant. Any one attempting any thing so reckless wouldn’t need no further evidence to prove his right to be let off on an insanity plea.” Brighter Side of Jury Service. “Give me another stack of chips,” said Mr. Gadder. “It’s getting late. Mrs. Gadder will be calling you over the telephone' soon.” l “She’s doing it now In her mind’s eye, but the morning star of my exist ence is locked up with a jury.” His Method. “What do you do to keep cows from kickin’ while you‘are milking them?” “Well, stranger, you could read them the latest news, or sing ‘Annie Laurie,’ or rig up a moving picture show, but I keep ’em so busy thinkin’ of the good food they’re eatin' that they doitft re member to kick.” Circumstances Regretted.

Among the eccentricities of Dante GabrieUe Bossietli was his passion for strange pets. Many a queer “beastle" was to be found in his London home in-Cheyne walk. His brother, in his “Memoirs,” says that Dante Gabriel had no liking for an animal on account of its beauty, but that he preferred Wther‘the quaint, odd, or grotesque. His pets were !strangely various. There were dogs, owls, rabbits, door- mice, hedgehogs, wombatB, armadillos, kangaroos, Wallabies, a deer, a white mouse with her brood, a racoon, squir rels, a mole, a raven, a jackdaw, laughing jackasses, a parrot, a pea cock, chameleons, green lizards, and Japanese salamanders. The animals upon which the poet spent his warm est affections were a wombat and a woodchuck. He would sit with these fat, lumpish quadrupeds In his arms b y ' the hour, dandling them; gently scratching at their cheeks or noses, or making the woodchuck’s head and hind paws meet Bach of them was his housemate for a time, and each exfired without warning. A Short-Haired Age. “Long hair for man is a thing of the past,” said the barber. “I don’t mean the kind that could be braided, but the kind that used to be w«Jrn by ‘states men’—the sort that bushed out be hind, and imparted a majestic appear ance to an otherwise insignificant In1 dividual. Twenty years ago a man did not consider that' he was living up to the traditions of congress un less he wore a lot of hair on his head. Now men want short hair, and I think the secretvof this change In style Is due to the fact that- fairly close cropped hair gives a suggestion of youth,- and that after all is a greater possession. than the reputation of be ing the possessor of a master mind, especially when one knows In his heart that he is just four-flushing, and liv ing in dread of being called.”—Detroit News. Australia Growing More Cotton. Cotton growing Is rapidly increas ing in favor In Australia where the federal and New South Wales govern ments have agreed to’guarahtee a min imum price to growers for the forth coming season and generally do their utmost to encourage the industry. Special attention will be given to as suring a ready market Sfif cotton when produced. Many dairy farmers In a large area near the northern end of the coast of New South Wales pro pose to/ abandon dairying for cotton, their slogan being "Cotton, before cows every time.” Experts affirm that the soil is highly suitable. Y \ Japanese to Rale* Sheep. Mutton as a food being almost un known In Japan, there has been little Inducement to the Japanese farmer to raise sheep, and as a result practically all the wool. and woolen goods used here have to'be imported. The gov ernment proposed to subsidize the im portation of pedigreed rams and ewes from abroad, and also the production of wool.' There are now only about 10,000 sheep In Japan.

Dunlap, in Union Republican;; • North ^ Carolina is boasting mightily of the great things she is doing and pointing wifh pride tc: the things she is going to do. A- mong the things of the first order are the good roads mileage, recent ly built and of the thing of the se cond order are'the 800 school houses she is going to erect right away, at a cost of $25,000,000. That good roads are desirable and greatly to be appreciated, no' one with proper " regard for- the truth and a love of advancement, will deny mortgaging its entire re sources, and then provide legal measures whereby accumulated wealth may dodge its . rightfril share of the burden of these things, then how is she going to get the wherewith, aud from whom, to fin ance the gigantic proposition? Good roads, as we said, are de sirable, but roads costing from tnree to five thousand dollars per mile to- grade and put a little top- soil on, are too‘expensive a .propo sition for North Carolina or any other state to boast of carrying over, a»'d especially is this 'true, if the money to do the job with is borrowed at an interest rate of six per cent. 'The top-soil roads in some of the counties of Nortt Carolina have been impassable a good part of the present winter, and some’of these same impassible roads have cost the state five’ thousand dollars per mile, to build,, (according; to .,the ^^dV-cbi&h^ arid have cost in addition, during the past two vears, the regular drag ging and smoothing expense, which was done by a fareman, and from one to three colored helpers, with, one of the State Highway’s large trucks, and the expense of fuel, upkeep and depreciation “on it. - Tlie interest on the bouds that were spld,. (#1,000,000) to build these top-soil roads in- the county referred to, is $60,000 a year, arid actually, this tax for three years ought to, and would under-proper handling, have given the county as, good roads as it has—and as many miles of them. ^s to the $25,000,000 now be ing arranged to build' 800 school houses, there Would seem to be very little necessity for it. j Is there portions of North Caro lina where children have not: the privilege of attending school house? If so, then-such portion should be looked after arid ^provisions ,made for these little folks, but;-not so many years ago we had it frequeri- tly dinned into our ears that “Nor-th Carolina is building school houses at the rate of. some 400 a year, or more than one a day.” Have these school houses all rot-I ^ted down, or does the state pro pose to tear them down and boast of having done awaj willi them, in orderto build greater? ■ “Tlie oldloRscliool house,” they tell us, is gone, and as if it was commendable-to say so, they infer it was a disgrace . to,the state any way. ■ Was it? Some mighty good men, and some very' able statesman, learned their letters in them, .and we beiieve one of the greatest chief, executives this nations can boast of. Abraham Lincolri, was boru and1 reared in one, and used the large h e a r t ^ C ^ ^ ^ e d by a pine knot,,'.as a black-board on which to do his figuring.' " If tile 825,000,000 provided os tensibly for school houses, j s spent as the #50,000,000 road bonds were spent, then When the money, gone and the interest on the bonds sold to obtain it ,is piling up, we will I probably discover. - that the state ! hasn’t value received; even for the Interest item, to shy nothing of the. -same NUMBER 24 5 -s lp i: principal, and j.alsq., :A manner of spending is in vogue on the;school fund as was in the road tUifd-, -great slugs Of it will be spent UKrities and towns to assist said ilies and town in erecting finer and costlier buildings' than they are willing to pay. for themselves, bur ate aiixious to have, if the1 state will; “crip in”, on the proposition ancL. help them own a 'creditable structure. * - 'j^is is unfair, unjust aud is^an uririecessay burden placed- 011 the tax pays as a whole for the grantifi- catiriri of the few. j Catch-All-Column. , 8y iilngene Ascraft, In Monrone Enqrijrer , Judge A.

J. W.

Each one was read ,according to number, some of them being real interesting as well as humorous. When they had gll been read they were voted on by ballot and it was found that Mr. T. J. Furches was winner. A number hearts with fortunes on them were then placed on the wall. Each one took a shot with ‘Cupid’s bow and arrow to see what- his or her future was to be. As some were not very good marks men they had to make several at- mpts before they were successful in learning their fortune then after these many^ attempts to learn that, they were to live their lives all a- Ione without a lover. The next and most enjoyable, part of it all was refreshments which consisted of marshmallows candy hearts aud popcorn.

How does North Carolina stand in the way of finances? Are we bankrupt, or are we several millions of dollars ahead? That is the question the people want to know at this time, but no one seems able to tell them, not even DemocraticOfficials in Raleigh who, for the last twenty jears or more have had complete control cf the State’s affairs, and acknow ledgement of their iguorance is do ing them anything but credit Treasurer Lacy says his figures are for a single fiscal ^year and show that the State is operating on borrowed monev. Mr. Maxwell sets forth records that make the case very much wose, and plainly states that the difference iu ac counts, all comes through failure to figure in the big deficit, for tbe seven months period from Decem ber .1,1920 to June 30, 192 iSor of the large deficit again in ,the period from July t, 1922 to December 31, 1922. He denies all intention of trying to embarrass the Governor in his “progressive” program by these facts, but sa\rs the way to protect the States credit, aud the only way, is to keep it sound, and that this is exactly what he is try ing to do. Governor Morrison, on the othec hand, accuses Mr -Max well of motives of a personal nature against him and his adririnistratiou and derides the Corporation Co ti- missioner’s position as “ridicul- o,us.” It is Iiis opinion that'Norlh Carolina is rich and should go for- ■ wards* v-- -- A f- T - rl'-V " -?^ v ■ Who are we to believe about, this matter? Who CAN we beli-ve? The wise thing to do at this time is stop the who program- of pro posed legislation, disregarded all personal feelings in the matter and have a tho'ough house'cleaning of State finances. Publish the facts broadcast over the State, of just how matters stand, and then pijt men in. office ’hereafter who -will conduct State business as they ’.would mau age their personal aff: ire.

The tuost important thing to make the Chamber of Commerce a success is co-operation. Witn- out it nothing can be accomplished, therefore it is very important that We co-operate, not only with the Chamber of Comonrce, but with one'^nother as -well. This means that we should favor our local newspapers and merchants, have our homes built by iocal men,' de- ' posit our money in local., banks, keep all the work we possibly can in our own community, and in that way we keep ouif money circulating whereit will do us the most good. This means increased business for ourselves, and from- which, we all derive a benefit. 11 is only through the medium1 of the Chamber of Com merce that all this can be obtained, and the Chamber of Commerce can only succeed or fail in proportion tQ the amount of active and finan cial support it receives. We want our Chamber of Commerce to suc ceed ioo per cent, therefore it is up to us all to give it that support which alone cam make this possible. The secretary is now negotiating with several new industries to locate here, and it is only a matter of time when his efforts will have been successful. We cannot ex pect the secretary to give up his time, and accomplish these things unless he has our loyal support.' Now let us all get, together, and woiKwith the .Champ^hWof .' Com merce, and we will "-attain , the height of success that we are striv ing for. ’ yOf course, the Chamber of Com merce will be the headquarters for information and assistance of all kinds for visitors, especially men interested in business. The Cham ber of Commerce is always open for suggestions, and any important projects for-the welfare of the citi zens will also be fostered. W. J. N.

Needless to saj7 everyone’ present enjoyed the day and especially the bounteous tables' of some forty feet or more in length, heaped to the fullest with good things to eat, such as farmers wives know how to prepare. To express it in the words ’ of Mr. Swain, "Everj’body ate until thgre’was not a wrinkle left to be filled.” This being siuh a successfull at tempt for the White’s Local, we have decided to make ,it an annual affair, for this community.

The last of the velvet had been rubbed from his horns, and the twelve tines (sis on each horn) were as hard and almost as sharp as so many bayonet points. . As the morning dawned, the change In the face of nature became ever more manifest. The leaves of the shrubbery began to. change, in color. The wind out of the north had a keener, more lilting quality, and the birds were hav ing some sort of exciting debate in the tree tops. The birds are" always a scurried, nervous, rather rattle-brnined outfit, aud seem wholly incapable of making a decision about anything without hours of argument and discussion. Their days are simply filled with one excitement after another, and they tell more scandal in an hour than the old ladies in a resort manage In the en tire summer. This slow ,transforma tion In the color of the leaves, not to mention the chill of the frost through their scanty feathers, had created a sensation from one end .of binllnnd to another. And there was only one Ihing about it. That was to wait un til the darkness closed down again, then start away toward the path of the sun In search of their Vvinter re sorts in the south. The Little People in the forest of I ferns beneath were not such gay birds, and they'did not have SiUch high-flown ideas as these feathered folk, in the branches. Tliey didn't talk such fool ishness and small talk from dawn to dark. They didn’t wear gay clothes that weren’t a particle of good to them in cold -weather.-. You. can imagine them as being good, substantial, mid dle-class people, much more sober- minded, tending strictly' to business) mid workitjg hard, and among other things they saw nd need of flitting down to southeni resorts for the cold sea son These people—-being mostly around squirrels amj gophers and chip- monks and rabbits—had not. been flt- "'ii bv nature for wide travel and had made all arrangements for a pleas- inter ai home. You could B i-. * “ s.-,. :, siiiile on the fat face of a The larger creatures, however, were less complacent. The wolves—if ani mals have any powers of foresight whatever—knew that only hard days, not ,luscious nuts and roots, were In store for them. There would be many days of hunger once the snow came over the land. The black .bear saw the signs and bepan a' desperate effort to lay up as many extra pounds of fat as possible before, the snows broke. He Wbuid have.need of the-extra flesh. The time was coming when all sources of food would be cut off by the snows, and he would have, to seek the security of hibernation. He had already Chos en an underground abode for himself and there he could doze away In the cold-tranee through the winter months, subsisting on the supplies of fat that he had stored nest to his furry. hidet The greatest of all the bears, the Killer, knew that some such fate awaited him also. Elut he looked for ward to It with wretched spirit, He was master of the forest, and perhaps he did not like to yield even to the spirit of winter. His savagery grew upon him every day, and his dislike for men had turned to a veritable ha,tred. But he had found them out. When he crossed their trails again, he would not wait to stalk) They were apt to slip away from him in this case and sting him unmercifully with bul lets. The thing to do was charge quickly and strike with all his power. The three minor wounds he had re ceived—two from pistOl bullets and one from Bruce’s rifle—had not lessened liis strength at all. They did, how ever, serve to keep his blood-heat at He. q i i i f t A ft B i of tit liny and night. The (lowers and the grasses were dy ing; the moths that paid calls on the flowers had laid their eggs and had perished, and winter lurked—ready to pounce forth—just beyond the distant mountains. There is nothing so thoroughly unreliable, as the mountain autumn, it may linger In entrancing golds and browns month after month, until it is almost tim'e for spring to come again; and again it may make one short bow and usher in the winter. To Bruce and Linda, In the old Fol ger home In Trail’s . End, these fall days offered the last hope of success In their war against the Turners. The adventure In the pasture with the KIKer had handicapped them to an unlooked-for degree. Bruce’s muscles had been severely strained by' the bonds; several • days had elapsed before he regained their full use. . Linda was a mountain girl* hardy as a deer, yet her, nerves had suffered a greater shock by the ex perience than either of them had guessed. The wild ride, the fear and the stress, and most of all the base blow that Simon had dealt her had been too much even for her strong constitution; and she.had been obliged to go to bed for a few days of rest. Old Elmira worked about the house the same as ever, but strange, new lights were Ih her eyes. For reasons that went down to the roots of things, neither Bruce nor Linda questioned her as to her scene with Dave Turner in the coverts; and what thoughts dwelt in her aged mind neither of them could guess. The truth was that In these short weeks of trial and danger whatever dreadful events had come to pass in that meeting were worth neither tho.uglit nor words. Both Br-tce and Linda were down to, essentials. It is a descent that most human beings— some time in their lives—find they are able to make; and there was no room for sentimentality or hysteria in this grim household. The ideas, the soft nesses, the laws of the valleys weije far away from them; they were face to face with realities. Their code had become the basic code of life: to kill for self-protection without mercy oi remorse. " They did not know when the Turners would attack. It was the dark of the moon, and the men would be able to approach the house without present ing themselves as targetB for Bruce’s rifle. The danger was not a thing on which to conjecture and forget; it was .an ever-present reality. Never they stepped out of the door, neVer they crossed a lighted window, never a pane rattled In the wind but that the wings of Death might have’.been hovering over them. The days were passing, the date when the chance for victory" would'Utterly .vanish was al most at hand, and they were haunted by the ghastly fact Jhat their whole defense lay in a single thirty-thirty rifle and five cartridges. Bruce’s own gun had beeu taken from him in Si-, mon’s house;'Linda had emptied her pistol at the Killer. “We’ve got-' to get more shells;’ Bruce told Linda. “The Turners won’t be such fools as to wait until we have the moon again, to attack. I can’i understand why thev haven't already come. Ot course,. they don’t know the',condition of our ammunition sup ply, but It doesn’t seem to* me that that -alone would have held , them .off. They are sure to come soon, and you know w hat we could do with five, cart ridges, don’t you?” “I know.” She looked up’Into his Ii'•I Ol nil.” ' ' “Yes-like rabbits. Wltlioiit hurting them at all. I wouldn't tnlnd dying so much, if I did plenty of damage first. It’s death for me, anyway, I suppose—and no one but a fool can see It otherwise There are simply too many against us. But I do want to make some payment first” Her hand fumbled and groped for his, Her eyes pleaded to him—more than any -words. ". ‘‘And you mean you’ve given up hope?" she asked. He smiled down at her—a grave, strange little smile that moved her in secret ways. “Not given up hope, Linda." he said gently. They were HtWrN H iiW you and I bad never met—that I had never received Elmira’s message—that you should live your life up here with out ever bearing of me?” She dropped her eyes. “It isn’t fair —to ask me that—” “Tell me the truth. " Hasn’t it been worth while? Even if we lose and Ii It all been worth while? Are you sor ry tyou have seen me change? Isn’t the change for the. better-a “Aria "You"• Mean You've Given Up •Hope?” She Asked. standing at the door and the sunlight ^-coming low from the south—was on his face. “I've never had any hope to give up—just realization of what lay ahead of us. I’m looking It all in the face now, just as I did at first" ‘And what you • see—makes you afraid?" Yet she need not have asked that question. His face gave an unmistak able answer: that this man had 1 con quered fear In the terrible night with the Killer. “Not afraid, Linda,” he explained, “only seeing things as they really- are. There are. too many against us. If we had that great estate be hind us, with all its wealth, we might have a chance; if we had an arsenal of rifles with thousands of cartridges, we might make a stand .against them. But we are three—two women and one man—and one rifle between us all. Five little shells to be expended in five sec onds. They are seven or eight, each man armed, each man a rifle shot. They are certain to attack within a day or two—before we have the moon again. In |ess than two weeks we can no longer contest their title to the estate. A little month or two' more and we will; be snowed-In—with no chance to get out at all.” “Perhaps before that,” she told him. “Yes. Perhaps before that.” They found a confirmation of this prophecy in the signs of fall without— the coloring, leaves, the dying flowers, the new, cold breath of the wind. Only the pines remained nnchanged: they were the same grave sentinels they always were. “And you can forgive me?” Linda tasked, humbly. “Forgive you?” The man turned to her in surprise. "What have you done that needs, to be forgiven?” "Oh. don't Vou see? To bring you here—out of your cities—to throw your life away. To enlist you In a fight that you can’t hope to win. I’ve killed you, that’s all I've done. Perhaps tonight—perhaps a few days later." He nodded gravely. "And I’ve already killed your smile,” she went on, looking down. "You don’t smile any'more' the way you used to.- You’re not the hoy you were when you came. Oh. to think of it—that it’s all been my work. To kill your youth, to lead you into this slaughter pen where" . nothing—nothing. lives- but death—and hatred—arid unhappiness.” -The tears leaped to her eyes. He 'caught Iier bands and pressed them be tween his until pain came into, her fingers. “Listen, Linda,” he command ed. ‘’,he, looked* straight up at him.' “Are you sorry I came?” “More than I can tell you—for your sake.” “But when people look for the truth in this world,-Linda, they don’t rake Hnv one’s sake into consideration. They balance all things.and give them their true worth. Would you rather that grown instead of a boy? One who looks straight and sees clear?” He studied her face; and after a while he found his answer. It was riot In the form of words at first. As a man might watch a miracle he watched a new light come Into her dark eyes. AU the gloom and sorrow of the wilderness without could not affect its quality. It was a light of joy, of exultation, of new-found strength. “You hadn’t ought to ask me that, Bruce,” she said with a rather strained distinctness. “It has been like being born again. There aren’t any words to tell you what it has meant to me. And don’t think I haven’t, seen the chnnge in you, too—the birth of a new strength that every day is greater, higher—until it is—almost more than I can understand, The old smiles are gone, but- something else has taken their place—something much more dear to me—but what it is I can hard ly tell you. Maybe It’s something that the pines have." But he hadn’t wholly forgotten how to smile. -Hts face lighted as remem brance came, to him. "They are a dif ferent kind of smiles—that’s all,” he explained, “Perhaps there will be many of them in the days to come. Linda, I have no regrets. Tve played the game. Whether it was Destiny that brought me here, or only chpnce, or perhaps—If we take just life and death into consideration—just misfor tune, whatever it is I feel no resent ment toward It, It has been the worth while adventure. It seems to me thiit I can understand the whole world bet ter than I used to, Maybe I can begin to see, a big purpose and theme run ning through it all—but it’s not yet clear enough to put into words. Cer tain things In this world are essen tials, certain other ones are froth. And I see which things belong to one class and which to another so much more clearly than I did before. One of the things that matters Ie throwing one’s whole life Into whatever task he has set out to "do—whether he fails or suc ceeds doesn’t seem greatly to matter. The main thing, it appears to me, is that he has tried. To stand strong and kind of calm, and not be afraid— if I can always do it, Linda, it is all I ask for myself. Not to flinch now. Not to give up as long as I have the strength for another step, Arijl to have you with me-7-all the way.” “Then you and I-Sike fresh heart?” "We’ve- never lost, heart, Linda.” “Not to , give up,-but only be glad we’ve tried?” ' “Yes. And keep-on trying.” “With no regrets?” “None—and maybe to borrow a little strength from the pines!” -This was their new pact. To stand firm and strong and unflinching, and never to yield as-long as. an ounce of strength remained. As if to seal it, her arms crept about his neck and her soft lips pressed his." would find her report of the greatest interest, i She pigged slowly along In the'west ern fashiori-^TWhlch means something quite 'different' frqpi army fashion or sportsriian fashion.

But they do riot care greatly about grace as long as they may encompass their fifty miles a day and still be fresh enough for a country dance at night. There are many other differences in western and eastern rising, one of them being.--the way-In which the horse is mounted. Another difference is the riding habit. Linda had no trim riding trousers, with tall, glossy boots, red coat and stock. It was rather Mil existed. She did, however, wear a trim riding skirt of khaki and a middle blouse washed spotlessly clean by her own hands; an^ no one would -have missed the other things. It is an in disputable fact that she made a rather alluring picture—eyes bright and liair dark arid strong arms bare to the el bow—as she came riding down the pine-needle trail. ,She came to the opening of.the dim mer' trail and turned' down It. She entered a still glen, and the color In her cheeks and the soft brown of her arms blended well with the new tints of the autumn leaves. Then she turned up a long ridge. The trail led through an old burn— a bleak, eerie place where the fire had swept down the forest, leaving only strange, black palings here and there —and she stopped in the middle of it to look down. The mountain world was laid out below her as clearly as in a relief map. Her eyes lighted as Its beauty and its fearsomen^s went home to her, and her keen eyes slowly swept over the surrounding hill tops. Then for a long moment she sat very istitl in the saddle. • -A thousand feet distant, ori the same ridge on which she rode, she caught sight of another horse. It held her gaze,' and in- an instant she discerned the rather startling .fact that it was saddled, bridled, and apparently tied to a tree. 'Momentarily she thought that its rider was probably one of the Turners who was at present at work on the old Folger farm; yet she knew at once the tilled lands were still too far distant for that. She studied close ly the maze of light and shadow of the CHAPTER XXV Toward the end ' of the afternoon Linda saddled and rode down the trail toward Martin’s store. ; She had con siderable business to attend to. Among other things, she was going to buy thirty-thirty cartridges—all that Mar tin had In stock. She had some hope of securing an extra gun or two with shells to match. The additional space in her pack was to be filled with pro visions. For she was faced with the. unpleas ant fact that her 'iiirder was nearly empty, fhe jerked venison was al most gone; only a little flour' and a few canned things remained. She had space for only small supplies on the horse’s back, and there would be ho luxuries among them. Their fare had been plain up to' this time; but from now on it was to,consist of Only such things as were absolutely necessary to sustain life. She rode unarmed. Without .inform ing him of the fact, the rifle had been left for Bruce. She did not expect for herself a. rifle shot from ambush —for the simple reason that Simon had bidden otherwise—and Bruce might*be a.ttacktd at any moment. She was dreaming dreams, that day. The talk with Bruce had given her ,fresh heart, and as she rode down the sunlit trail the future opened’ up en trancing vistas to her. Perhaps they yet could conquer, and ..that, would mean (-e-eatabtlshihent on the far-flung lands of her father. Matthew Fblger had possessed a fertile farm also) and its green pastures might still be util ized. It suddenly occurred to her that it .would be of Interest to turn off the main trail, take a little dim path up the ridge that she had discovered vears,before, and look over these lands, The hour was early; beitdes, Bruce m tingulsheil the'figure of the horseman. It was one of the Turners—but he "was not working in the fields. Hewas standing near the animal’s head, back to her, and his rifle lay In his arms. And then Linda understood. He- was. simply guarding the trail down to Martin’s store. Except for the fact that she had turned off the main trail by no possibility could she have seen- him and escaped whatever fate he had for her. She held hard on her faculties and tried to puzzle It out. She understood now why the Turners had not as yet oiflde so attaek upon them at their home.’ If -wasn’t the Turner way to wage open warfare. They were the wolves thpt struck from ambush, the rattlesnakes that lunged with poisoned fangs from beneath the rocks. There was some security for her In the Folger home, but none whatever here. There she had a strong man to fight for her. a. loaded rifle, and under ordinary con ditions the Turners could -hot hope'to batter down the oaken door and over whelm them without at least some loss of life. For all they knew, Bruce had a large stock of rifles and ammunition still on the trail. But the horse killed, flight would be impossible,, and what-, would transpire thereafter she did not dare to. think.' She had not forgbtteu Simon’s threat in regard"to any attempt to go down into' the settlements. She knew .that it still held good. Of conrse,- if Bruce made the excur sion, the sentry’s target would be somewhat different. He would shoot him down as remorselessly as he would shutter a lynx from a tree top, id She Was Dreaming Dreams. —and the- Turners did not look for ward with pleasure to casualties in their ranks. The much simpler way was to watch the trail. They had known that sooner or later one of them would attempt to ride down after either supplies or aid. Linda was aL mountain girl and she knew the.mountain methods of proce dure; and, she knew quite well what she--would-have-had to expect If she had not discovered the ambush in time. Sne didn’t think tbat.-the sentry would actually fire on her; he would, merely shoot'the horse from beneath her. It would be a simple- teat by the least of the Turners—for these -gaunt men were marksmen, if nothing else. It wouldn't be -in accord with Simon’s plan or desire to- leave her body lying guessed just right. “It’s the easiest way,” Simon had said. “They’il be trying to get out In a very few days. It the man—shoot straight and to kill I If Linda, plug the horse and bring her here behind the saddle.” Linda turned softly, then started back. She did not even give a see-. ond’s thought to the folly of trying to break through. She watched the sen tinel over her shoulder and saw him turn about. Far distant though he was) she could teil by the movement T i' She was almost (our hundred yards away by the®, and the \ * ’ her horse into a gailojk Yhe man cried to her to halt, a sound that came dim and strange through the burn, and then a bullet sent up a cloud of ashes a few feet to one sde. But the range was too far even for the Turners, and she only urged her horse to a faster pace.- She flew down the narrow trail, turned into the main trail, and gal loped wildly toward home. But the sentry did not folloW her. He valued his precious life too- muth for that. He had no Intention of offering him self as a target to Bruce's rifle as he neared the house. He headed back to report to Simon. ..ToiiDg Dili—for such had been the identity of .the sentry—found his chief In tlie large field not far distant from where Bruce had been confined. The man was supervising the harvest of the fall growth of alfalfa. The two men walked slowly f t iy from Hie workers, ‘ toward the fringe of woods. “It looks as if tve’ll have to adopt rough measures, after all,” Young Bill began. Simon turned with flushing face. “Do you mean you let him get past you—and missed him? Young Bill, If you’ve done that—” “Won’t you wait till I’ve told you how it happened? It wasn’t Bruce; It was Linda. For some reason I can’t dope out, she went up In the big bum back of me and saw me—when - I was too far off to shoot her horse. Then she rode back like a witch. They’ll not take that trail again." “It means one of two things," Simon a . to starve 'em out. It won't take long. Their supplies won’t last forever, The other is to call the clan ,and attack— tonight.” “And that means loss of life.” “Not necessarily. I don’t know how many guns they’ve got. If any of you were worth your salt, you’d find out those things. I wish Dave was here.” And Simon spoke the truth for once In his life; he did miss Dave. And it was not that there had been any love lost between them.. But the truth was —although 'Slmon never would have admitted it—the weaker man’s cunning had been of the greatest aid to his chief. Siriion needed It sorely now. “And we can’t wait till tomorrow night—because we’ve, got the moon then,” Young Bill added. “Just a new moon, but it will prevent a surprise attack. I suppose you still have hopes of Dave. Coming back?” “I don't'see Wby not. I'll venture to say'now he’s off on some good piece of- business—doing something none of the rest of you have thought of. He'tt come riding back one »f these days with something actually accomplished I see no reason for thinking that he’* dead, Bruce hasn't had any chance at him that I know of: But if I thought he was—there’d be no more Waiting. We’d tear down that nest tonight.” Simon spoke in his usual voice—> with the same emphasis, the same un dertones of passion. The truth was that he had slowly become aware that Young Bill was not giving him his full^ attention, but rather was gazing off— unfamiliar speculation In bis eyes— toward the forests beyond. Simon’s impulse was :to follow the gaze; yet he would..not yield to it, “Well?” he demanded. 'Tm not talk ing to amuse , myself.” The younger man seemed to start, His eyes were half-closed; and there was a strange look of intentness. abriut" his facial lines when he turned", back to Simon. “You haven’t missed any stock?” he asked abruptly.. , Simon's eyes widened. #“No. Why?” “hook ", there—over the forest.” Young Bill pointed. Simon shielded his eyes from the sunset glare and studied the blue-green skyline above the fringe of pines. There were many grotesque, black birds wheeling on slow wirigs above the spot. Now and then they dropped down, ont of sight behind the trees. “Buzzards!” Simon exclaimed. “Yes," Young Bill answered quietly. “You see, it Isn’t much "over a mile, from Folger’s house—In the deep woods. There’s something dead there, Simon. And I think we’d better look to see what it is." “You think—!’ Then Simon hesi tated and looked again with redden ing eyes toward the gliding buzzards. “I think—that maybe we’re going to find Dave,” Young Bill replied. “And remember—no man is to JJ touch Linda.” <TO'B E CONTINUED.)

PREPARED SOIL IS ESSENTIAL Application, of Fertilizer on Fertile Land Usually Is Not Profitable— Crop Is GCeatIy Benefited By Lime. The soy bean is one of . the best forage plants among the legumes and it exceeds any of the others in yield of seed, says W. C. Etiieridge of the Missouri' College, of Agriculture. It does not require a' particular kind of soil.. It will withstand, ft great deni of moisture and succumbs only when water stands on the land for a consid erable time. On the other hand it is decidedly drouth-resistant. For its best growth, the soy bean requires better preparation of the land than is necessary’ for cowpeas, because it cannot compete' with weeds and grass so well as cowpeas. Fertilizer Not Profitable . The application of fertilizer to the soy bean crop on either fertile br high ly.fertile land usually is not profitable Sarcasm.

FARMERS BUY LARGE PART OF FOODSTUFF Survey .Shows That 3 0 -Per Cent is Brought in by Railroads. toMore Prosperous Sections Seem Purchase. More Than Those Iso lated^— Smallest Volume of Home Production Is in East. (Prepared by the United Statea D epartm ent ot Agriculture.) Farmers should grow more of the food they consume and buy less of food produced outside their immedi ate locality is the consensus of opinion of 25,000 farmers in all parts of the country recently questioned on the subject by the.United States- Depart ment of Agriculture. The survey showed that of the food consumed by farmers and their; families 70 per cent Is produced locally, and nearly 30 per cent is brought in by railroad. In the judgment of the farmers 79 per ,cent of the food they consume could be economically produced locally. In a general way the survey indi cated that the more isolated farmers •produce more of their foodstuffs than the less isolated, and that the more prosperous sections seem to buy more than the less prosperous. The thought back of the survey was that inasmuch as high freight grates have had a leudency to reduce the prices of prod ucts wiiich farmers ■ sell, and to in crease the prices of the things they buy, they might economically produce more of .their home requirements and thus become less dependent upon the railroads and the outside world. By sections of the country the Easi South Central states, including Ken- lucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Missis sippi, led in the volume of production for home consumption with 75.2 pet cent. The smallest volume of home production is in' the New Engladd States, including Maine, New Hatyp shire, Y'prmont, Massachusetts, IUtt-dt Island and Connecticut with 53.1 yet cent.

But on poor land good returns will nearly always follow a light applica tion, 100 ■ to 150 pounds per acre, of acid phosphate; or a light dressing, 5 or 6 loads per acre, of stable manure. There is seldom any profit in applying commercial nitrogenous fertilizers to soy beans, for this crop gets nitrogen from the air through the--aid of nitro gen-gathering bacteria on its roots. Although the soy bwin will grow on souT,-poorly drained lnnd rnuclv better than red clover and alfalfa; It is great ly benefited on such land by lime. In fact, under nearly all ‘conditions a moderate application of lime will usually give good returns. Inoculation Will BenefiL Although on fertile soils inoculation Is not necessary for a thrifty growth, it will usually benefit the crop, and on poor land it Is essential for even moderate growth. For sections into which tlie crop ts newly introduced, re gardless of the type of; soil, artificial Inoculation will nearly always give good returns. Inoculating material, and instructions for its use may be secured at cost from the Missouri Col lege of Agriculture, Columbia, Mo. ■ The best date for planting soy beans will of course vnry with the locality, but it is a safe practice to put in the crop about two weeks later than, the average time of planting corn. The depth of. planting is an important point. Thejgeed must be planted .shallow or poor stands will result ExpferimenlS have proved .that two Inches is the most favorable' depth: For a crop planted in rows three feet apart;—the best method' where a seed crop Is desired—15 to 20 pounds of seed will, be. required to. the acre.

I J / / \ I CORNS Lift Off with Fingers New Tork1- A terrific blast, set by dredgers in Hell Gate, rocked the buildings of the Manhattan State hos pital for the insane on Ward's Island, in the Bast River, and set the 6,338 in mates cowering and wailing with a sense of impending doom. Attendants calmed them and got them to bed before morning, the doom fantasied by the disordered brains had come true for 22 of the maddest. They had been burned to death in a fierce fire that swept the [ west wing of the main building. Three j heroic attendants died with them, ; striving to the last to rescue them, j Hospital authorities and City Medi- ' cal Examiner Norris, who rushed to ' the scene said that in all probability the blast had been the Immediate cause of the fire. According to their ,theory, it-caused a break in the In- | sulation of electric wires in the attic j of the building. A short circuit, they , think, did the rest. I The fire was discovered by Mich- j ael Campbell, an attendant in ward 43, i in which all the fatalities occurrde. . His, calm, heroic work, and that of ! James Hill, attendant in charge, and j Patrick Billigan, of Hartford, Conn., George A De Emo and George Freiss, , the three attendants who were burned to death, prevented .a far greater holo caust. Campbell manned a hose line and fought back the flames, while the others, directed by Hill, ran up ind down the 200-foot top floor corridor, rousing the patients with the Cv'l order: “AU up for breakfast.” As far as the maniacs—declared b> Supt. Marcus B. Heyman to have been the most' dangerous on the ' island— could be marshalled from their rooms, .they were marched in orderly proces sion to the fireproof dining hall,- fur from the scene of the fire, j Seventy of the ninety-two inmat&s of Ward 43 ..had been led or carried to safety when, a huge'water tank in th> blazing attic crashed through the ceil jing completely blocking the corridoi that led to. safety, and filling the hall j with flames and smake. City firemen, fighting their way, past the blazing . I barrier, brought out several struggling,: I screaming maniacs, and several who I had been-overcome by smoke while, dressing for the “breakfast.” Most of the dead , were touiid In the room sand' corridor beyond the fallen tank. Sev eral were believed to have been bur- 1 lied tenrath the debris when the floor i gave way. ' " j While the rescue work was being carried forward, the flames burst ’ through the roof of the building and ■ lighted,up the entire island. Screams of the terrified patients nearest the flame roused the entire population of the madman's isle, and In a twinkling every window framed a maniac’s face. Some lauo-hed and cried out in flee at the sight of the flames, Olh- PF8 StSl'fid moodily, others wrench ed tfth maniacal strength at the bar red windows ot tuetr ceils, and scream* ed in anguished fright for rescue, : Attendants In buildings far remov ed from the danger zone .had almost- 3s strenuous ? a time preventing mad men's and mad women's panics'as those at the actual scene of the blaze.

The finest types of men and WQmen think but little of them selves, and their all to noble ideals: Others are more selfish, they con- trate their thought on personal ac quisitinn, and cherish no interests broader than their own pleasure. Human progress goes on only as people get away from this sordid line of thought, and acquire the higher ideals, of life Patriotism. : the sentiment that makes one love his country and in time of peril leads the soldier to offer his life, is one of the most noble of these ideals. The majority of people entertain this sentiment, x There ought to be room also in normal heart for a.feeling of home - town patriotism, a IoVe of one’s own community that shall be deep and vigorous and sacrificial, much like the' love for country. These scenes and which people spent their daily . lives should have their heart strings.

Gives You Pep Whenyou need stimulation, eat a few lumps of sugar—and you’ll get as much “kick” as from a alcoholic cocktail. So claims a medical re-' searchc man of high standing in pro fession. He adds: “Most people will laugh at that statement, but it’s a chemi- ^ ^ ^ ^ ry-^^uga^^itive!yjW ilI:-A>r stimulate theT)hysicaI body as’much ' " as the cocktail. The mental exhil aration may seem greater fro.m a cocktail than from , lump. of sugar, but that’s chieflv the power of the imagination. The cocktail drinker gets a “kick” because he expects it, is firmly convinced that he’ll get it. Sugar doesn’t seem to give the same effect—because the sugar eater does not expect it. hence his imagination ' doesn’t create it ” Mentalstimulationis at least 50 per cent imagination. A string whiskey highball, if you tel, the drinker it is very weak, isnot apt to stimulate him mentally a3 much as a weak one if you tell him it’s half whiskey, half ginger ale. Exbillaration and depression are largely states of mind Sugar in the stomach is like coal in the futnace It rapidly is converted into heat and energy. That is why so many athletes, especially football players, instinctively crave a few lumps of sugar before they enter a contest. Sugar "gets to them” quickly—is transformed into energy and heat sooner than any other food.

H orrible A ccident H ear Advance. A horrible accident occurred near Advance Sunday morning. Mrs. Mary ‘Keaton was standing;. near the fireplace in her home, when she fell into the fire and her clothing be came ignited. Her husband and a Mr. Potts made a.desperate effort to put out the fire, but Mrs. Keeton was fat ally burned. The house also caught on fire and was destroyed, together with all its contents. The attending physician reported Sunday that Mrs. Keeton could not live through the day. Mr. Keeton and Mr. Potts were badly burned-while trying to extinguish the flames. A Correction. Mr. Editor:—I want to say to the people of Davie county through The Record that there has been circulat ed throughout the county a report that I was short in my- settlement with the county as Treasurer to the amount of $21,000 or more, and that I had stolen county books - and- torn stubs from my check books to cover up crooked work, etc., all ,df which is a malicious falsehood, fathered by a few little fellows who are ashamed of their own records and are trying to create a kind of I told-you-so feel ing among the people for reasons that one though blind, would not fail to pee. Now, my books are in the Treasurer’s office for .inspection by anyone who wants the truth. Al so (the auditor’s reporjt that verifies, my work. I will say further that during my whole term of office there never was a dollar transferred from the school fund for other than school purposes. Respectfully, . J. L. HOLTON. From Christiana./ We have had some confusion in this sectiofi over the weather and the ground-hog. It seems that some thought winter was over, others accuse the ground-hog of lieing; and feel sure that he did not see his shadow but a short time, and if a fevv hours of sunshine on the 2nd of February brings us such weather as we nave had since then, we cannot imagine what an entire fair day would bring us. We have lots of' colds bfrt no o f serious sickness. Our preacher Rev. W. H. Jeffcoat has been down with a severe cold or Au, but 'up is up again. We have a very ,flpurish- uig. Sunday school; and the offering of every fifth Sunday goes to our Orphan home. ■*.- Wheat and oats have been look ing fairly good, but we cannot say how, this cold spell will affect them. We have been reading the papers some, and it seems to. Usv: that France and Belgium are not taking the right steps to collect their money from Germany. We believe in everybody being honest and we claim that Germany is about as honest as any other nation in the world and that she would pay her honest debts if she had the chance and thejtime to do*so; but if France is going to cut off all her resarces her income is cripled and it will take that much longer to meet the debt. Besides that, the support of this'root army is increasing their expences faster than- what they gain from Germany can meet. Then if all Europe would quit so much war and put the soldier on farms, there would not be so much starvation in that country'. We also heard that Col. Watts has belittled himself by living under satauic influence, but honest en ough to confess it after being caught most any man could do that. Biittohave such a man as a leader in a party is a reflection o1 shame; and it seems to us that i^ the Democratic party cannot pro duce better leaders than Col. Watts it might be wise to disband and be gin again and they might have more Iionesty throughout the party.

The clouds would have cut off any tell tale llglit that might illumine the ac tivities of the Turners. There would not be even the dim mist of starlight Youqg Bill rode from house to house through the estate—the homes occu pied by Simon’s brothers and cousins and their respective families. He knocked on each door and he only gave one little message. “Simon wants you at the house,” he said, “and come heeled." Be* Vvould turn to go, but always a Singular quiet and breathlessness 're mained In the homes after his de parture There would be a curio\)3 exchange of glances and certain signif icant ^sounds. One of them was the metallic click of cartridges being Slipped into the magazine of a rifle. Anfither was'the buckling on of spurs, and perhaps the rattle of a pistol in its holster. Before the night fell In reality, tlie clan came riding—strange, tall figures in the half-darkness— straight for Simon’s house. His horse was saddled, too, and he met them in front of his door. And in • • avve^y few words he made all things plain to them. “We've found Dave,” he told them ^linplj ‘ Most of you already know it. We've decided there isn’t any use of waiting any more. We’re going to the Folger house tonight.” The men stood silent, . breathing hard Simon spoke very quietly, yet his voice carried far. In their growing excitement they did not observe the reason, that a puzzling; deep calm had come over the whole wilderness world. ■ Even In the quietest night there Is us iii 'ually a faint background of winds in •the tnountain realms—troubled breaths - that whisper In the thickets and rustle By EDISON MARSHALL Author of "The Voice of Iiie Pack” Copyright by Little, BroWn, and Co. air had no breath of life. ^ “Tonight Brace Folger Is going to pay the price, just as I said.” He spo]te rather boastingly; perhaps more , to Impress his followers than from Ira- , '' _ pnlse. Indeed, the passion that he felt left no room for his usual ar- Togance. “Fire on sight.

And remember— no man is to touch Linda.” v “ They nodded grimly; then the file 1I I of horsemen started toward the ridge. JSar distant they heal'd a sound such Vns had reached them often in summer, ' but nas unfamiliar In fall.- It was / flje faint rumble of distant thunder. * *t t t * 1 Increased In fury. On a distant hill side the strange file that was the Turn ers halted, then gathered around Si mon. Already the lightning made vivid, white gashes in the sky and illumined —for a breathless instant—the • long sweep of the ridge above them. “We’ll makg good targets in the lightning,’’ Old Bill said. “Ride on,” Simon ordered. “You know a man can’t find a target in the hundredth of a second of a lightning flash. We’re not. going to turn back now." They rode on. Far' away they heard the whine and roar of wind, and In a moment it was upon them. The forest was no longer silent. The peal of the thunder was almost continuous. The breaking of the storm seemed to rock the Folger house on Its founda tion. Both Linda and Bruce leaped to their feet; but they felt a little tingle of awe when they saw that old Hlmlra still sat sewing. It was as if the calm that dwelt in the Sentinel Pine out side had come down to abide In her. No force that the world possessed could ever take it from her. They heard the rumble ana creak of the trees as the wind smote them, and the flame of the lamp danced wild ly, filling the room with flickering shadows. Bruce straightened, the lines of his face setting deep. He glanced once more at the rifle in his hands. “Linda,” he said, "put out that fire. If there’s going to be an attack, we’d have a better chance if the room was in darkness. We can shoot through the door then.” She obeyed at once, knocking the burning sticks apart and drenching them with water. She took off the glass shade of the lamp, and the little gusts of wind Uiat crept In the cracks of the windows Immediately extin guished the flame. The darkness dropped down. Then Bruce Opened the door. The wiole wilderness world strug gled in the grasp of the storm. The scene was such that no mortal mem-, ory could.possibly forget. They sa\y it in great, vivid glimpses In' the Inter mittent flashes of the lightning, and the world seemed no longer that which 14.95 room of the Folger house, piet and r >vatchful and unafraid.

Besides—they’ve found that their other plot—to kill you from * ambucli—isn’t going to work/’ ? Bruce nod.ded and got up to examine the shutters.

A moment later he was to behold a sight that for the moment would make him compl&ely forget the existence of the great tree; but for an instant he poised at the brink of a profound and ,far-reaching discovery. There was a great lesson for him In that dark, tow ering figure that the lightning revealed. Its great limbs moved and spoke; its top swayed back and forth, yet still it held Its high place as Sentinel of the Forest, passionless, patient, talking through the murk of clouds to the uimia wit are con It was true. Bruce dropped his eyes, Even now the dan had spread out ill shot. Bruce meant to conserve his little supply of shells until the moment of utmost need. The clan drew nearer. They were riding slowly, with ready rifles. And ever the storm. increased In fury. The thunder was so close that it no longer gave the impression of bfeing merely sound. It was a veri table explosion Jiist above their heads. The first drops of rain fell one by one on the roof. Bruce’s eyes sought for Slmoin’s fig ure. To Simon he owed the greatest debt, and to lay Simon low might mean to dishearten the whole clan. But al though the attackers were In fair range now, • scarcely two hundred yards away, he could not Identify him. They drew closer., He raised his gun, wait ing for a chance to fire. And at that instant a resistless force hurled him to the floor. A There ^ a s the sense of vast catas trophe, a great rocking and shudder ing that was lost In billowing waves of sound; and then a frantic effort to re call his- wandering faculties. A blind ing light cut the darkness In twain; It smote his eyeballs as if with a phys ical blow; and summoning all his pow ers of will he sprang to his feet. There was only'.darkness at first; and he did not understand. But It. was scarcely less duration than the flash of lightning. A red flame sud denly (leaped Into the air, roared and grew ancl spread as If scattered by the wind itself. And Bruce's breath caught in a sob of wonder. The- Sentinel Pine, that ancient friend. and counselor that stood not over one hundred feet from the house, had been struck by a lightning bolt, its trunk had been cleft open as if by a giant’s ax, and the flame was already springing through its balsam-laden branches. — has. been trying to tell me for a long time. Oh, can’t you see,. Linda? There i£ stood, hundreds of years—so great, so tall, so wise—In a moment broken like a reed. It takes away my arro gance, Linda. It makes me see myself ;as I really am. And that means— Power.” His eyes blazed, and he caught her hands In his. - , '“It was a symbol, Linda, not only of the wilderness, but of powers higher and greater than the wilderness. Powers that can look down, and not be swept away by passion, and not fry to tear to pieces those 'who In their folly harm them. There’s no room for such things as vengeance in this new strength. There’s no room for mur der, and malice, and hatred, and blood shed.” . Linda understood. She knew that this new-found strength did not mean re nunciation of her cause. It did not mean 'that he would, give over his attempt to reinstate her as the owner of her father’s estates; It only meant that the Impulse of personal vengeance was dead witMn him. He knew now—the same as ever—that ,the duty of the men that dwell upon the earth Is to do their allotted tasks, ancfwithout hatred and without passion to overcome the difficulties that stand In the way. She realized that If one of the Turners should leap through the door and at- at utn “You Can't!” She Cried.

' . “I see,” Ue answered. ‘Tm ready.” “Then shoot them, quick—wh?n the lightning shows them,” she whispered In his ear. “They’re In range now.” Her hand seized his arm. “What are jron waiting for?” , • He turned to her sternly. “Have you forgotten, we only have five shells?” he asked. “Go back to Elmira.” . Her eyes met his, and she tried to smile Into them. , “Forgive me, Bruce—it’s hard—to be calm.” But-at once she understood why lit* was watting. The flashes of IIghtnlnp Offered.no opportunity for an accurate CHAPTER XXVIl Bruce stood as If entranced, gazing with awed face at the flaming tree, There was little danger of the house Itself catching fire. The 'wind blew the flame In the opposite direction; besides, the rains were beating on the roof. The fire In the great tree itself, however, was too well started to be extinguished at once by any k’nd of rainfall; but it did burn with less fierceness. Dimly he felt the girl’s hand grasp ing at his arm. Her fingers pressed until he felt pain. Uis eyes lowered to hers. The sight of that passion- drawn face—recalling in an instant thescene Desfde the camp fire his first himself, 4tSlioot1 you fool I* she stormed at hlju. "The tree’s lighted up the whole countryside, -and you cau’t miss. Shoot them before they run He glancetj quickly out. The clan that had drawn within sixty yards of the house at the time the lightning struck had been thrown into confusion. Their horses had been knocked down by the force of the bolt and were flee-: lng, riderless, away. The men followed them, shouting, plainly revealed in the light from the burning tree. Tl>e great torch beside the house had completely turned the tables. And Linda spoke true; they offered the best of targets. Again the girl’s eyes were lurid slits between the lids.{ Her Ups were drawn,Oiifl her breathing was strange, Be Il In “You can't!" she cried. "You cow ard—you traitor I Kill—kill—kill them while there’s time!” She saw the resolve In his face, and she snatched the rifle from his hands. She hurled It to her shoulder and three times fired blindly toward the retreat ing Turners. At tijat Instant Bruce seemed to come to life. 'His thoughts had been clear ever since the tree had been struck; his vision was straighter anil more far-reaching than'ever In his life before,: but now his muscles weakened, too. He sprang toward the girl and snatched 'the rifle from her hand. She fought for lt, and he held hgr with n strong arm. “Walt—wait, Linda,” he said gently. “You’ve wasted three cartridges now. There are only two left. And we may need them some other time.” He held her from him with his arm; and It was as if his strength flowed Into her. Her blazing eyes sought his, and for a long second their wills battled. And then a deep wonder seemed to come over her. ‘‘What Is it?” she breathed. “What have you found out?" She spoke In a strange and distant voice. Sliwly the fire died In her eyes, the drawn features relaxed, her hands fell at her side. He drew her away from the, lighted doorway, out of the range of any of the Turners that should turn to answer the rifle1 fire. The wind roared over the house and swept by in clamoring fury, the elec- tftc storm dimmed and lessened as' it journeyed on. These two knew that if death spared them In all the long passage of their years, they, could never forget, that mo ment. The girl watched him breath lessly, oblivious to all things else. He seemed wholly unaware , of her now. There was something aloof, impassive. Infinitely calm about him, and a great. Ear-reaching understanding was in his eyes. Her own eyes suddenly filled with tears. • /‘Linda, there’s something come to me—and I don’t know that I can make you understand. I can only call it strength—a new strength and a great er strength than I ever had before. It’s something that the pine—that great tree that we just saw split open And the Triumph on Bruce's Face Changed to a Singular Look of Won der. tack her, Bruce would kill him withoutmercy or regret, She knew that he offenders to the law, But the ability to shoot a fleeing enemy In the back, iecaifse of. wrongs done long ago, was Bruce's vision had come to him, He knew that if vengeance had been the creed of the powers that ruled the world, the sphere 'would have been de stroyed with fire long since. To stand firm and straight and unflinching; not to judge, not«to condemn, not to re sent; this was true strength. "I know,” the girl said, her Noughts wandering afar. “Perhaps the name for it all Is—tolerance.” "Perhaps,” he nodded. “And pos sibly it Is only—worship!” * * * * * • • The Turners had gone. The dim- revealed tlie. entire at- Ml: Ii lightning,'setting lire to the pine, had deranged all of his plans. His men had been thrown from their horses, the blazing pine tree had left them exposed to fire from the house, and they had not yet caught their mounts and rallied. Xoung Bill and himself, however, had Ued their horses before the lightning had struck and had lin gered in the thickets In front of the house for just such a chance as had been given them. He had not understood why Bruce had not opened fire on the fleeing Turners. He wondered if his enemy were out of ammunition. The tragedy of the Sentinel Plne had had no mean ing for him; and he had held his rifle cocked and ready for the Instant that Bruce had shown himself. Young Bill had heard his Uttle ex ultant gasp when Linda and Bruce had come out Into the firelight. Plainly they had kept track of all the attack ing party that had been visible, and supposed that all tlielr enemies had gone. He felt the movement of Si mon's strong arms as he raised the rifle. Those aims were never steadier. In the darkness the younger man could not see his face, but his own fancy pictured It with entire clearness. The eyes were narrowed and red, the lines cut deep about the bloodhound lips, and mercy was as far from him as from the Killer who hunted on the distant ridge. BtU Simon didn't fire at once. The two were coming steadily toward him, and the- nearer they were the better his chance of success In the unsteady light. He sat as breathless, as wholly free from telltale motion as a puma W^o waits In ambush for an approach ing deer. He meant to take careful Rim. It was Ws big chance, and he intended to make the most of It. The two had halted beside the .ruined pine, but for a moment Simon held his fire. They stood rather close together; he wanted to wait until Bruce offered a clear target. And at that instant Bcuce had drawn the leather wallet from the tree. Curiosity alone stayed Simon’s finger as Bruce had opened It. He saw the gleam of the white paper in the dim light; and then he understood. Simon was a man of rigid, unwaver ing self-control; and his usual way was to look a long time between the sights before he fired. Yet the sight of that document—the missing. Folger- Ross agreement on which had hung victory or/ defeat—sent a violent im pulse through all his nervous system. For the first time In his memory his reflexes got away from him. It had meant too much; and his fin ger pressed back involuntarily against the trigger. He had not taken his us ual deliberate aim, although he had seen Bruce’s -figure clearly between the sights the Instant before he. fired. 1 1 1 mI1 breff u me J I Bruce and Linda stole together out into the storm. The green foliage of the tree had already burned away, but some of the upper branches still glowed, against the dark sky. A fallen branch smol dered oh the ground, hissing In the rain, and -it lighted, their way. Awed and mystified, Bruce halted before the ruin of the great tree. He had almost forgotten the stress of the moment just passed. It did not even occur to him that some of his enemies, unseen before, might still 'be lurking in the shadow, watching for a chance to harm. They stbod a moment in silence. Then Bruce utfered one little gasp and stretched his arm Into the hollow that the cleft in the trunk had revealed. • The light from a burning branch.be hind him had shown him a small, dark' object that had evidently been inserted In the-hollow tree trunk through some little Aperture that had either since been closed up or they had never ob served. It was a leathern wallet, and Bruce opened It under Linda's startled gaze. He- drew out a single Tfhlte paper. He held It in the light, and his glance swept down its lines of faded ink. Then he looked up with brighten ing eyes. “What Is it?” she asked. “The secret agreement between your father and'mine,” he told her simply. “And we’ve won." He watched her eyes brighten. It seemed to him that nothing life had ever offered had given him the same pleasure. It was a moment of trlnmpli. But before half of its long seconds were gone, it became a moment' of despair. A rifle spoke from the. coverts- be yond—one sharp, angry note that rose distinct and penetrating above the noise of the distant thunder. A little* .tongue of fire darted, like a snake's head, in the darkness.\ And the tri umph on Bruce's face changed to a singular look of wonder. ' CHAPTER XXVIlI To Simon, the night had seemingly ended in triumph, after all.- It Imd 1 looked dark for a while. The bolt of (hit Uie hasty rim meant 1 complete miss. . He did realize, however, the difficulties Of night shooting—a real ization that all men who have lingered after dusk In the dock blind experi ence soonir or later—and he looked up over his sights to see the result of his shot • His self-control had com pletely returned to him; and he was perfectly cold about the whole matter. From the first second he knew he had not completely missed. He raised his rifle to shoot again. But Bruce’s body was no longer re vealed. Linda stood In the way. It looked as if she had deliberately thrown her own body as a shield be tween. Simon spoke then—a single, terrible Mil ollaW Bi Jftft I M il I * IlC M M eyes except Bruce’s—that site ■ kept her own body as much as ste could between him and the ambush. In an instant they were In the darkened room. Brace- stood up, once more wholly master of himself. ‘You’re not hurt bad?” she asked quickly. ‘No. Just a deep scratch in the arm muscle near the shoulder. Bullet just must have grazed me. But it’s bleeding pretty bad." “Then there’s no time to be lost.” Her hands In her eagerness went again to his shoulder. “Don’t you see—he’ll be here in a minute. We’ll steal out the back door and try to ride down to the courts before they can overtake us—” In one instant be had grasped the idea; and h« laughed softly in the gloom. ‘‘I I’ll snatch two blankets and the food. You get the horse.” She sprang out the kitchen door and he hurried into the bedrooms. He snatched two of the warmest blankets from the beds and hurled them over his shoulder. He hooked the camp ax on his belt, then hastened Into the Uttle kitchen. He took up the little sack containing a few pounds of jerked venison, spilled'out a few pieces for Elmira, and carried it— with a few pounds of flour—out to meet Linda. The horse still stood saddled, and with deft hands they tied on their supplies and fastened the blankets in a long roll In front of the saddle. “Get on," she whispered. ‘TH get up behind you.” She spoke In the utter darkness; he felt her breath against his cheek. Then the lightning came dimly and showed him her face. “No, Linda,” he replied quietly. “You are going alone—” She cut him off with a despairing cry. “Oh, please, Bruce—I won’t t I’ll stay here, then—" “Don’t you sep?” he demanded. “You • can make it out without me. Tm wounded and Weeding, and can’t tell how long I can keep up. We’va only got one horse, and without me to weigh him down you can get down to tte courts—” “And leave ,you here to be mar* dered? Oh, don’t waste the precle** seconds any more. I won’t go with out you. I mean it. If you stay here, I do, too. Believe me If you ever be lieved anything.” Once more the' lightning revealed her face, and on It the determination of a zealot. He knew that she spok* the truth. He climbed with some dlffl* culty into the saddle. A moment more and she swung up behind him. The entire operation had taken aa astonishingly short period of time. Bruce had worked like mad, wholly disregarding his Injured arm. Just beyond, Simon with ready rK® was R P J da's arms, and he saw her half-drag him Into the,, house. \ He stood shivering, but not from the cold that the storm had brought “Come on,” he ordered Young Bill. “I think we’ve downed him for good, but we’ve got to get that paper." * ' » • * * - * But Simon did .not Bee all things clearly. He had little real knowledge of the little drama that bad followed his shot from ambush. Human nature is full of odd quirks and twists, and among other things, symptoms are misleading. There is an accepted way for men to act ,when they are struck with a rifle bullet. They are expected to reel, to throw their arms wide, and Usually to cry out The' only trouble with these ac tions, as men who have been in bat tlefields know very well, is that they do not usually happen In real life. Brace, with Linda’s eyes-upon him, took one rather long, troubled breath. And he did look somewhat puzzled. Then he looked down at his shoulder. “I’m hit, Linda,” he said In a: quiet way.' “I think just a scratch.” The tremendous shock of any kind of wound from a thirty-forty caliber bullet had not seemingly affected him outwardly at alt. SOme hours were to pass before he completely under stood.' The truth was that the shock of that rifle bullet, ordinarily striking a blow of a half-ton, had cost him for the moment an ability to make any logical interpretation of events. The glrl' moved swiftly, yet without giving an Impression of leaping, and stood very close and In front of him. In one lightning movement she had made of her own body a shield for his, in case the assassin In the covert should shoot again. . Her arms * went about and seized his shoulders. "Stagger,” she whis pered quickly. • “Pretend to fall. It’s the one chance to save you.” - He dispelled the mists in his own brain and obeyed her. He swayed, and her arms went about him. Then he fell forward. - Her strong arms encircled his waist and with all her magnificent young strength she dragged him to the door. It was noticeable, however—to all "Which way)” Bruce asked "The outrtrall—around the WOHtt' tain,” she whispered. “Simon will overtake us on the other—he’s got a magnificent horse. On the mountain trail we’ll have a better chance to keep out of his sight." She spoke hurriedly, yet conveyed her message with entire clearness. They knew what they had to ' face, these two. Simon ^nd whoever of the clan was with him would lose no time In springing In pursuit. They each had -a strong horse, they knew the trails, they carried long-range rifles and would open fire at the first glimpse of the fugitives. Bruce was wounded; slight as the injury was, It would seri ously handicap them In such a test as this. Xhelr one chance was to keep to the remote trails, to lurk unseen In to In to safety. W tliey Inewtht the doubtful mercy of the forest gods could they ever succeed. Linda tpok the reins and pulled ont' of the trail, then encircled a heavy waU of brush. She did not wish to take the risk of Simon seeing their forms In the dimming lightning and opening fire so soon. Then she turned back into the trail and headed Into the storm.• » • • • * Simon had clear enough memory ot the rifle fire that Linda had opened upon the clan to wish to approach - the house with care. It would bo wholly typical of the girl to lay hep lover on his bed, then go back to the window to wait for a sight, of his- assassin. She could look straight along a rifle barrel I A few momenta were lost as Toung Bill and himself encircled the thickets, keeping out of the gleam of the smoldering tree. Its light was almost gone; it hissed and glowed in the wet snow. They crept up from the shadow, and holding their rifles ready, opened the door. They were somewhat sur prised to find it unlocked. The truth was it had been left thus by design; Linda did not wish'them to encircle the house to the rear door and dis cover Bruce and herself in the act of departure. The room was in dark ness, and the two intruders rather expected to find Bruce’s body on the threshold. (TQ B E CONTINUED.) Matter Full of Holes.

Naples, Tesas.—“I have used Thed- ford’s Black-Draught for years—I can ■safely say for more than 30 years,” de clares Mr. H. H. Oromer, a substantial, well-known farmer, residing out on Route 3 from here. "I am 42 years old, and when a small boy I had indigestion and was puny and my folks gave me. a liver regula tor. Then Black-Draught was adver tised and we heard of It. “I began to take Black-Draught, and have used it. when needed, ever since. I use Black-Draught now in my home, and certainly recommend It for any Kver trouble. “I have given It a thorough trial, and after thirty years can say Black- Draught Is my stand-by. It has saved me many sick spells.” Mr. Cromer writes that he Is “neAr out of Black-Draught,” and says several of his neighbors prefer it to any other liver medicine. “I always recommend Slack-Draught to my friends,” he adds. This valuable, o(£ powdered liver medicine Is prepared from medicinal roots and herbs, and has none of the bad effects so often observed from the ose of calomel or ether powerful mineral drugs. Black-Draught helps to keep the liver In trim, helping prevent or re lieve such troubles as constipation, biliousness, indigestion, sick headache. Be sure to get the genuine^ Non-Inflammable Films.

The presentation of the administra tion’s proposal for conditional Ameri can representation on The Hague in ternational court of justice under the league of nations promises a sharp flurry in the senate, but the opinion is general that action must go over, for 'ack of time, until next December. The end of filibustering In both the senate ^and house is not yet in sight, as there is a prospect of obstruction to several measures yet to be brought forth, including the "truth in fabric” bill in the senate. Principal efforts are expected to be in behalf of the government employes’ salary reclassification and the foreign service re-organization bills, in addi tion to the farm credits and deficiency appropriation measures. The most serious tie-up in conference is threat ened for the rural credits legislation because of the action of the ohuse banking committee iiT'bringing ,forth a. bill combining 'one house 'and two senate bills.

The Toulouse and Gmden are~ the most popular breeds of geese in this country. The Toulouse is the largest breed, the adult., gander • «nd geese weighing-25'and 20 pounds, respective ly, while the standard weights of the Bmden are 20 and'13'pounds. Geese can be raised in small num bers successfully and at a profit on many farms where there is low, rough pasture land containing a natural sup ply of water. The market for geese is not so general as for chickens, but the demand and prices are especially good in sections where goose fattening is conducted. . Geese need only a house during co^i or stormy weather, when an open shed should be provided. One gander is mated with from one to three geese, and the matings are not changed from year to year unless they prove un satisfactory. When mated, they ara allowed to run together in flocks. Tou louse and Emden gees*, will breed when about two years old. The fe males aie usually kept until Ihey are from twelve to fourteen years old, or as long as they lay well. Sex is diffi cult to distinguish, especially in young geese.. The gander is usunlly some what larger and coarser than the goose, and has a leaner, longer neck nd a larger head. The sex is some times determined by a critical exam ination or by the action of the geese at mating time. . \ Large boxes, barrels or shelters art- provided as nests for geese, or they are allowed to make nests on the floor of the house. The eggs should be col lected daily and kept in a cool place. .First eggs are usually set under hens while the last ones which the goose I lays may be hatched either under hens or under the goose if -sht “goes broody.” If the eggs are not removed from the nest where the goose is lay ing, she will usually stop laying soon- t WMttEYS t In w ork or play> it gives ike poise aid steadiness that mean success.

An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as- tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because k’dney trouble is so common to the American people,-and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmeris Swamp, Koot is op sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, 'medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this neat preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer £ Co., Binghamton, N. T., for a Bftmplo bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.—Advertisement.

Plots of barley grown on the experimental farm from treated seed have shown a remarkable In crease In yield over those grown from untreated seed or from seed treated with formaldehyde or copper sulphate- llme. . * Organic mercury compounds have been used in Germany since 1912 and are replacing to a considerable extent the old formaldehyde and copper sul- phate-lime methods for the control of seed-borne diseases. They are known under such trade names as “Uspulun” and- “Germisan.” Chemical companies in the United States are putting out similar compounds of mercury In small lots for experimental purposes under such names as “Chlorophol,” “Seme- san” and “Corona” compounds. Some 25 of these commercial compounds have been tested by -the department, and the ones mentioned have given ex cellent results in the experiments. They have not been tried sufficiently under various local conditions, how ever, to permit a general recommenda-, tion as yet. If further tests substantiate ■ the good results already secured from this method of seed treatment and no un foreseen - difficulties develop, the use of treatments of this type may replace some of the present methods, especial ly for the control of barley and oat smuts, but so far they must be re garded as being In the experimental stage. While the method of applica tion promises to be simple, the cost, probably will be as great if not greater than present methods. Picnic Lemonade. The lawyer was trying to make a point.
