PptNTS FOR SQUAB RAISERS Owners qf Successful Plants Always Find Plenty to Do in Winter Jn Caring for Birds. Managers of successful squab-rais ing plants always, find plenty to do in winter taking core of their breeding pigeons, seeing they are- prop.erly mated, culled, housed and ted. If large plump squabs are to be produced next spring the breeding pigeons must be kept in a good thrifty condition or the percentage of hatch-will be low. The->problem of growing a large strain of squabs, depends on the kind of pi geons’ you select to keep in the breed ing’ pens. By--CUlling out the small; weak birds, with undesirable, color of. skin and other such points and dispos ing of the discarded ones the feed bill will be greatly reduced. The birds should bei looked after closely, during the mating season. Odd or unmated males must always be re moved from tlie breeding pens.. Pli geons are usually mated-at the age of five or six months, and in some cases they are not mated until they are eight or nine months old.

Three circulars have also ’ been published Illustrating the material contained In the handbook by means of graphs and charts which show the trend of the dairy cattle, but ter, and cheese industries, respectively, ,and form a basis for the development of these industries. Department Circular 7, Trend of the Dairy Cattle Industry tn the United States and Other Countries, shows . In graphic form the Imports and exports of cattle by the United States for the last TO years; shows the kind and quantity of new blood In the form of Importations of'purebred cattle that has been used In developing the cattle of the United States during the last 33 years, and presents a series of charts showing the Increase In the number of dairy cows In the United States In pro portion to the total'number of cattle, compared with the relative progress made In other countries, I I Department Clreular 70, Trend of the Butter Indpstry In the United Excellent Stand of Alfalfa on a South Dakota Farm. fall and winter when the hours of daylight are shorter the seedlings of these various groups develop charac teristic differences in height, erect ness and branching. As a result of the discovery of the effect of the length of day on the per formance of alfalfa plants, the ability of this crop to endure cold will not be the only* factor to be considered in. se lecting-varieties, for the .parts of the country with rigorous winters. The number of hours of daylight will have something to do with their selection. In the Southwest; Peruvian alfalfa starts earlier InHhe spring, and keeps going later in the fall than other va rieties. It is able to make better growth during short days than other alfalfas, and is not particularly bene fited by long periods of daylight; but the plants suffer considerable winter injury this far north. Northern vari eties, on the other hand, do not adapt themselves to the short days of Agri- zona. This shows why varieties of, one section, even though they may be hardy enough, cannot be. used success fully In some other localities. Not -Suitable In.'North. If you buy Avgentine seed you can be sure that it IS not suitable in the north. It should bS grown at least no farther north than Kansas seed. Large quantities of seed are being im ported from the Argentine; in fact most of the imported alfalfa now comes from that country. From July I, 1822, to January 15, 1923, approxi mately 6,320,000 pounds were received from that country and only 281,600 pounds from other countries.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKS VILLE, N. C. The Strength of the Pines CHAPTER XVHI—Continued. —12— These were mountain men; and they had been in rifle duels before. They had the sure instincts of the beasts of prey In the hills without, and among other things they knew it wasn’t wise to stand long In an open doorway with the firelight of the ruined pine behind them. They slipped quickly into the dark ness. Then they stopped and lis tened. The room was deeply silent. They couldn’t hear the sound that both of them had so confidently ex pected—the faint breathing of a dying man. Simon struck a match. The room was quite deserted. “What’s up?” Bill demanded. Simon turned toward him with a scowl, and the match flickered and burned out in his fingers. “Keep your rifle ready. He may be hiding some where—still able to shoot.” They stole to the door of Linda’s room and listened. Then they threw it wide. One of their foes was in this room —an implacable foe whose eyes were glittering and strange in the match- light. But it was neither Bruce nor Linda. Xt was old Elmira,- cold and sinister as a rattler in its lair. Simon cursed her and hurried on. Holding his rifle like a club, he swung through into Bruce’s room, lighted another match, then darted into the kitchen. In the dim match- light the truth went home to him. He turned, eyes glittering. ‘‘They’ve gone—on Dave's horse," he said. “Thank God, they’ve only got one horse between ’em and can’t go fast. You ride like h—I up the trail toward the store—they might have gone that way. Keep close watch and shoot when you can make ’em out.” “You mean—” fill’s eyes widened. “Mean I -I mean do as I say. Shoot by sound, if you can’t see ’em, and By EDISON MARSHALL . A u th o r o f ‘The Voice of the Pack” *- Copyright by Little, Brown, and Co.; it Was Old Elmira, Cold and Sinister as a Rattler in Its Lair.' don’t lose another second or I’ll shoot you, too. Aim for the man If a chance offers—but shoot, anyway. Don’t stop hunting till you find them— they’ll duck off in the brush, sure. If they get through, everything is lost BH take the trail around the- moun tain.” : They raced to their horses, untied them, and mounted swiftly. The dark ness swallowed them at once CHAPTER XXIX In the depth of gloom .even the wild folk—usually keeping so close a watch on those that move on the shadowed trails—did not see Linda and Bruce ride past. The darkness is usually their time of dominance, but tonight most of them had yielded to the storm and the snow. They hovered in their coverts. What movement there was- among them was mostly toward the foothills; for the message had gone forth over the wilderness that -the cold had come to stay. Tlie little gnawing folk, emerging for another night’s work at filling their larders with food, crept down into the scarcely less.impene trable darkness of their underground burrows. Even the bears, whose furry coats were impervious to any ordinary cold, felt the beginnings of the cold- tranee creeping over them. They were remembering the security and warmth of their last winter’s dens, and they began to long for them again. The horse walked slowly,- head near the ground. The girl made no effort to guide him. The lightning had all but ceased; and in an instant it had become apparent that only by trust ing to the animal’s instinct could the • trail be kept at all; almost at once all sense of direction was lost to them. ^ The snow and the 'darkness obscured the outline of the ridges agaiust the sky; the trail was wholly .invisible beneath them. After the first hundred yards they M no way of Iii utter darkness, and- the gloom that enfolded them now. seemed simply un fathomable. Bruce found it increas ingly hard to believe that the horse’s eyes could make out any kind of dint pathway in the pine needles. The feel ing grew on him and on Linda as well, that they were lost and aimlessly wan dering In the storm. Of all the sensations that the wilder- ’ness can afford, there are few more dreadful to the spirit than this. It Is- never pleasant-to lose one’s bearings— and in the night and the cold and miles from any friendly habitation it is particularly hard to bear. Bruce felt the age-old menace of the wilder ness as ne.ver before. It always seemed to be crouching, waiting to take a man at a disadvantage; and like the gods that first make mad those whom they ,would destroy, it doesn’t quite play fair. He understood now certain wilderness tragedies of which he had heard; how tenderfeet—lost among the ridges—had broken into a wild run that had ended nowhere except in exhaustion and death. Bruce himself felt a wild desire to lash his horse into a- gallop, but he forced It back with all his powers of will. His calmer, saner self explained that folly with entire clearness. It w raid mean panic for the horse, and then a quick and certain death, either at the foot of a precipice or from a blow from a low-hanging limb. The horse seemed, to be feeling its way, rather than seeing. They were strange, lonely figures in the darkness; aBd for a long time they rode almost in silence. Then Bruce felt the glrl% breath as she whispered. “Bruce,” she said. “Let’s be brave and look this matter in the face. Do you think we’ve got a chance?” He rode a long time before he an swered. He groped desperately for a word.that might bring her cheer, but it was hard to find. The cold seemed to deepen about them, the remorseless snow beat into his face. “Linda,” he replied, “it is one of the mercies of this world for men al ways to think that they’ve got a chance. Maybe it’s only a cruelty in our case.” “I think I ought to tell you some- rthing else. I haven’t the least way of knowing whether we are on the right trail.” “I knew that long ago. Whether we are on any trail at all .” 1 “I’ve just been thinking. I don’t know- how many forks it has. We might have already got on a wrong one. Perhaps the horse is turned about and Is heading back home—to ward Simon’s stables.” She spoke dully, and he thrust his arm back to her. “Linda, try to be brave,” he urged. • “We can only take a chance.” The horse plodded a few more steps. “Brave! To think that it is you that lias to encourage me—in 1 stead of my trying to keep up your spirits. I will try to be brave, Bruce. And if we don’t live through the night, my last remembrance will be of your bravery—how you, injured and weak from loss of blood, still re membered to give a cheery word to me.” I ‘Tm not badly Injured,” he told her gently. “And there are certain things that have come clear to me lately. One of them is that except for you—throwing your own precious body between—I wouldn’t be here at all.” The feeling that they had lost the trail grew upon them. Once tliey halted to adjust the blankets on the saddle, and they -,listened^ for any sounds that might indicate tliat Simon was ■ overtaking them. But all' tlfey heard was the soft rustle of the leaves under the wind-blown snow. “Linda,” he asked suddenly. “Does it seem to you to be,awfully cold?” Slje waited a long time before she spoke. This was not the hour to make quick answers.. On any decision might rest their success or failure. “I believe I can stand it—a while longer,” she answered at last. “But I don’t think we’d better try to. It’s getting cold. Every hour it’s colder, and I seem to be getting weak er. 'It isn’t a real wound, Linda—but it seems to have knocked some of my vitality, out of. me, and I’m dreadfully in need of rest. I think we’d better try to make a camp.” “And go on by morning light?” , “Yes.” ' “But Simon ihight overtake us then.” “We must stay out of sight of the trail. But somehow—I can’t help but hope he won’t try to follow us on such a night as. this.” . 5 He drew up the'horse, and they sat in the beat of the snow. “Don’t make any mistake. about that, Bruce,” she told him.- “Remember, that unless hfe overtakes us before we! ,come into the 1*1 was actually on the trail. While anl- raals in the light of day cannot see nearly so far or Interpret nearly so dearly as Innnnn beings, tliey usually seem to make tliu r way much better at night. Many a frontiersman has heel saved from death by realization of th|s fact; and, bewildered by the ridges, has permitted his do& to lead him into camp. But nature has never ________ __ ^ ^ ^ ^ Uoi um devised a creature that can see In the cam p.’ We’il get oft the ttaU—If w^ H f tlis courts; Ifwhole fight Is lost. H doesn’t alone inean \m of the estate—for which lie would IiIs life just as lie lias a t e n tiinos, It means defeat—ti thing that would come hard to Simon.' Besides, he’s got a fire: within him that will keep him warm.” “ You mean—hatred?” . “H atred, Nothing else.” “B ut Sn spite of IL we must mniro still on It—and try to slip through to morrow. You see what’s going to hap pen if we keep on going this way?” “I know that I feel a queer dread —and hopelessness—” “And that dread and hopelessness are just as much danger signals as the sound of Simon’s horse behind Us. It means that the cold and the snow and the fear .are getting the better of us.- Linda, it’s a race with death. Don’t misunderstand me or disbelieve me. It isn’t Simon alone now. It’s the cold and-the snow and the fear. The thing to do is to make camp, keep as warm as we can In our blankets, and push on in the morn ing. It’s two full day’s - ride, going fast, the best we can go—and God knows what, will happen before the end." “Then turn off the trail, Bruce ,1 the girl told him. “I don’t know that we’re even on the trail.” ' “Turn off,, anyway. As long as we stay together—it doesn’t matter.” She spoke very quietly. Then he felt a strange thing. A warmth which even that growing, terrible cold could not transcend swept over him. For her arms had crept out under his arms and encircled his great' breast, then pressed with all her gentle strength. No word of encouragement, no cheery expression of hope could have meant so much. Not defeat, not even the long darkness of death itself could appall him now. AU that he had giv en and suffered and endured, all the mighty effort that he hgd made had In an instant been shown In its true light, a thing worth while, a sacrifice atoned for and redeemed. They headed off into the thickets, blindly, letting the horse choose the way. They felt him turn to avoid some object In his path—evidently a fallen tree—and they mounted a slight ridge or vise. Then they felt the wet touch of fir branches against their cheeks. Bruce stopped the horse and both dismounted. Both of them kn.ew that under the drooping limbs pf the tree they would find, at least until the snows deepened, comparative sheltet from the storm. Here; rolled in their blankets, they might pass the remain der “of the night hours. Bruce tied the horse, and the girl unroljed the blankets. But she did not lay them together to make a rude bed—and the dictates of convention ality had nothing-whatever to-do with it. If one jot more warmth could have been achieved by it, these two would have - lain side by side through the night hours between the same' blan kets. She knew, however, tbat more warmth could be achieved if each of them took a blanket and rolled up in it; thus they would get two thick nesses instead of one and no openings to admit the freezing air. When this was done they lay side by-side, .econ omizing the last atom of warmth. The night hours were dreary and long. The rain beat into the limbs above them, and sometimes it sifted through. At the first gray of dawn Bruce opened his eyes. His dreams had been troubled and strange, but the reality to which he wakened gave him no sense of. relief. He fought a little battle, lying there under the snow-covered limbs of the fir tree. Because It was one In which no blows were exchanged, no shots fired, and no muscles called into ac-' tion,. it was no less a battle, trying and stern.. It'w as a fight waged In his own spirit, and it seemed to rend him In twain. The whole issue was clear in- his mind at-once. The cold had deepened in these hours of dawn, and he was pieces; and the bitterness of defeat In the end. He saw his chances plain as he lay beneath that gray sky. Even now, perhaps, Simon was upon them. Only two little rifle shells remained with which to combat him, and he doubted that his wounded arm would hold the rifle steady. There were weary, innumerable miles between them and any shelter, and only the ter rible, trackless forest lay ^between.* Then why not lie still and let the curtains fall? This was an easy, tranquil passing, and heaven alone knew what dreadful mode of egress would be his if he rose to battle fur ther. AU the argument seemed on one side. But high and bright above all this burned the indomitable flame of his spirit. To rise, -to fight, to struggle on. Never-to yield until the Power above decreed! To stand firm, even as the pines themselves. The dom inant greatness that Linda had found In this man rose in him,, and he set his muscles like iron. He shook off the mists of the frost in his brain. Quickly he knelt by Lin da and shook her shoulders in his hands. She opened her eyes. “Get up, Linda,” he said gently. “We have to go on.” She started to object, but a message in his eyes kept her from it. His own spirit went into her.. He helped her to her feet. “Help me roll the blankets,” he com manded, “and take out enough food, for breakfast. We can’t stop to eat it here.- I think we’re in sight of the.main trail, whether we can find it—in the snow—I don’t know'. We must get farther into the thickets be fore we stop to eat.” They were strange figures In the snow flurries as they went to work to roll the blankets into a compact bundle. The food she had taken from their stores for .breakfast he thrust into the pocket of his coat; the rest, with the blankets, she tied swiftly on the horse. They unfastened the ani mal and for a moment she stood hold ing the reins while Bruce crept back on the hillside t< look for the trail.. The snow swept round them, and they felt the lowering menace of the cold. And at that instant those dread spirits that rule the wilderness, jeal ous then and jealous still of the in trusion of man, dealt them a final, deadly blow. Its weapon 'iVas just a sound—a loud crash in a distant thicket—and a pungent message on the wind that their human senses were too -blunt to receive. The horse suddenly snorted loudly, then reared up. Bruce saw as In a tragic dream the girl struggle to hold him; he saw her pulled down in to the snow ^and the rein jerked from her hand. Then the animal plunged, wheeled and raced at top speed away Into the snow flurries. Some terror that as yet they could not name had broken their control of him and in an instant taken from them this one last hope of safety. - take all- my strength to .fight through that snow—I must go fast—and may be Ufe and death will have to depend on your "strength at the end of the trail.

Outside there; w as only snow find cold and wracking limbs and pain, only further conflict with tireless- enemies, only struggle to tear his agonized oody to CHAPTER XXX Bruce walked over to Linda, wait ing in the snow on her knees. It was not’an intentional posture. She had been jerked down by the plunging horse, and she had not yet complete ly risen. But the sight of her slight figure, her raised' white face, her clasped hands, and the remorseless snow of the wilderness about her moved Bruce to his depths. He saw her but dimly in the snow flurries, and she looked as if she were In an attitude of prayer. He came rather, slowly, and he even smiled a little. And she gave him a wan, strange little smile in return. - “We’re down, to cases at last,” he said, with a rather startlipg quiet ness of tone. “You see what It means?” > She nodded, then got to her feet. “We can walk out, if we are let alone and given time; it isn’t that we are obliged to have the horse. But our blankets are on its back, and this storm is steadily becoming a blizzard. And you see— time is one thing that we don’t-have. No human being can stand this cold for long unprotected.” “And we can’t keep going—keep warm by walking?” His answer was to take out his knife and put the point of the steel to. his thumb nail. His eyes strained, then looked up. “A little way,” he an swered, “but we can’t keep our main directions. The sun doesn’t even cast a shadow on my nail to show us which is west. We could keep up a while, perhaps, but there is no end to this wilderness and at noon or, to night the result would be the same.” -“It means—the end?”, . .. “If I can’t catch the horse. I’m go ing now. If we can regain the blan kets—by getting in rifle range of the horse—we might make some sort of shelter in the snow and last , out until we can see our way and get our bear ings. You don’t know of any shelter _ any cave or cabin where we might build-a.fire?” , “No. There are some in the hills, out we can’t see our way- to find them.” * w bnow- 1 should have thought of that.

Don’t' Leave Me to Die Alone.” Bruce;” she cried, “come back, soon .—soon. Don’t leavd me to die alone. Fm not strong enough for that—” He whirled, took two paces back, and his arms went about her. He had forgotten his injury long since. He kissed her' cool 'Ups and smiled into her - eyes. Then at once the flurries hid him. - . The girl climbed up into the branches of a fir tree. In the thicket beyond a great gray form tacked back and forth, trying to locate a scent that a second before he had caught but dimly and had lost. It was the Killer, and his tamper was lost long ago In the whirling snow. His anger was upon him, partly, from, the discomfort of the storm, partly from the constant^ gnawing pain of three bullet wounds in his powerful body. Besides, he realized the pres ence of his old and greatest enemy— those stall, slight' forms that had crossed him so many times, that had stung him- with their bullets, and whose weakness he had learned. And then a ll' at once he caught the scent plain. He lurched forward, crashed again through the brush, and walked out into the snow-swept open. Linda saw his vague outline, and at first she hung perfectly !.motionless, hoping to escape his gaze. She had been told many times that grizzlies cannot climb,-yet she had no desire to see him raging below her, reaching, possibly trying, to shake, her from the limb. He didn’t seem to see her. .His eyes were lowered; besides, it was never the grizzly way to search the branches of a tree. The wind blew-the message that he might have read clearly In the opposite direction. She saw him walk slowly across the snow, head low ered, a huge gray ghost in the snow flurries not one hundred feet distant, Then she saw him pause, with lowered head.- In the little second before the truth game to her, the bear had already turned. Bruce’s tracks were some what dimmed by the snow, but the Killer interpreted them truly .5 She saw too late that he had crossed them, read their message, - and now had turned into the. clouds of snow to trace them' down. . -For an Instant she gazed at him in speechless horrdr ; and already the flurries had almost obscured his gray figure. Desperately she tried to call his attention from the tracks. She called, then she rustlbd the branches as loudly as she could. But the noise of the wind obscured what sound she made, and the bear was already too absorbed in the hunt to turn and see her. As always, in the nearing pres ence of a foe, his rage grew upon him. Sobbing, Linda swung down from the tree. - She had.no conscious plan of aid to her lover. She only bad a blind instinct to seek him, to try to warn him of his danger, and at least to be with him at the death. The great tracks of the Killer, seemingly almost .as long as her own; arm, made a plain trail for her to follow. £he too struck off- into the storm-sw^pt canyon. * ' * '- * - * * - - * * And the forest gods who dwell some where in the region where the pine tops taper into the sky, and who pull 0 » , t a , m |je r t w i - r t t l e t u p r t t h h r e the Players ol the wilderness dramas W to this stmnge ctase wer the .The Mliieg t( ^ . made In the snow.

I “Do you need a boy?” asked the ap plicant In no wise abashed. I "Nobody needs a boy.” The boy would not give up. i “Well, say, Mr.,” he Inquired, “do !you have to have a boy?” The magnate collapsed. ‘*1 am sorry ;to say we do, and I guess you’re about •what we want” I _ Why Travel. I “What*will you do next?” i “A photoplay In the great north wood*” : “When are you going?” : “Where to?” I “The great north woods.” 1 “You don’t understand' the possibili ties of the movie. Our next ‘location’ is Just half- a mile from where we did Socth sea island stuff.” A Mean Disposition. ' "Please, sir,” whined the beggar, “wil! you gimme a dime?” ; “No!” snarled the Irascible citizen. “You wouldn’t even gimme a few Kind words, would you, bOSS?” ilGertalnly not.” “Well.” said the beggar, as he edged away, “maybe you’ve got J1OUr good points, but I'll bet you ain’t no treat to your family.” Potentiality. • Mrs. Portly-BIche—It must be dreadful to be as hard up as the Bron sons. They never give anything to charity. , / - . - Mr. P.-R.—Well, for the matter of that, no more do we, m^lear. Mrs. P.-K.—No, but (they can't say we haven’t got It to give, though. A Worthy Example. ; “Do you prefer to be called a public servant?” J “Certainly,” replied; Senator snorts* iWl'l M j t y i I H Itt I ought to explain that l'm In a position to give private servants some much- needed lessons In meekness and hu mility.” / . MODEST MAN j 1 would gladly die for you, I but .-for one thing. : ; 'She—And what Is that? [ He—I’m afraid you could never r*. (place tiie loss. i ------------------------- AU That’s Needed. The world's all right. Tou needn’t stew About some petty WTong, Jl you are honest, clean ana true Why you will get along. i Bang-Fra never afraid to tell a man anything, because It goes In one ear and out at the other. Slam—Yes; but If you tell a woman anything, it goes in at both- ears and put at the mouths—Everybody’s Maga zine. . Bills Crush Sentiment. ‘ Mrs. Youngbrlde—You seem to have lost, your taste for saying pretty things. • Husband—Yes, since buying them become necessary. Explained. . I “Pa, what’s the difference between assurance and Insurance?” i “Weil, my son, the former Is what ■ iias and the latter la wEa* he Reason to Be TfiankfuK BlondIne—Did you go to the circus? Branetta—Yes, and I am certainly glad of It. Blonfline—Why? Brunetta—Because ever sinc-e I saw the hippopotamus I have been more satisfied with my sh&pe. . S-Proof of M c|fl^^|ie^Jrnes 8. “Dae ye speak to McKie?” VNo; I always steei* clear of any one sharper vthan mysel’.”- * “Hoo doe ye Kenc he’s sharper than ye?” “He once had a chance tac marry my wife and didn’t.—London Tit-Bits. Nothing Is Higher.. He-YeS., I certainly like good* food, and always look forward to the next meai. . She—Why don’t you talk of higher things once In a while? ' ; , He—But, my dear, what. Is hlgher than food?—London Answers, j HOLDING TO HIS POINT The janitor of a college had a mean little dog of which' he was very fond, and when teased about him, he would say, “I woodna take $20- for ma wee doggy.” Some freshmen decided to test San dy’s assertion, and made up $20 be tween them. ‘ Then they led up to the familiar statement, and one of the boys said, “Now, Sandy, I’d like that dog for myself, and here's $20 if you will sell him.” He counted our $20 on the table near Sandy. AVithout a smile Sandy drew a .50- cent piece from-his pocket and said, as he took u p ' the $20: “Weel, I didna say I woodna. take $19.50. The wee doggy’s yourn.” Hla Reasoning.' “So the SQothSayer told' you she couldn’t read the future until you gave her $1,000 to put under her pillow and ‘sleep on’?” “Yes.” “I hope you didn’t let her have the money?’’ “Certainly not. I said that while She was sleeping on my $1,000 I would be wide awake and I’d rather ■ not know about the future than suffer from Insomnia.” W SAVES HIM TROUBLE ; "He’s ingenious, you sayl” "Oh, very. Why, he took the self starter off his automobile and at tached it to the kitchen range.” Self-Deceived. Little flaiis of ponder, Little tints of paint, Make the homely maidens think They’re pretty, when they aint. \ Long" Imprisonment. The miatress who had engaged a new cook made a tour of inspection after she had kept her a week, and found a policeman, locked up In the pantry. “How did this man get: here?” she asked, severely. ‘Tm sure I don’t know,” -: was the cool reply. f“He must have-been left over by tte last cook.” . Just Jogging Along, “Personally,” said -the old-fash ioned citizen, “I don’t care to-.fly 248 miles an hour.” “Too fast, eh?” '■ “les; I'm not one Qt Millies, Crawling along : at 150 miles an* hour would suit me.” , Tommy Spilled theVBeans. Mr. Dubblelgh—Why do you brtnfe me so much water, Tommy? :'I merely asked for a drink. Tommy—I thought you’d, need more than a glassful, 'cause sister said yon was. the dryest old stick -she ever knew. ■ Getting It Out of His System. “What good 'does it do you to swear at that motorist who nearly ran over you? He’s, gone.” “What good does it do you to swear at a golf ball when you fall to hit It?” “That relieves my feelings.” “Same here.” Reporting the Party. , "Have you the ,names of those pres ent?” asked the society reporter. “Here is a list.. Bat others are com ing.” I “We’U'have to lump them aB to61ate to classify." Danger Signal, Hep—Jake’s wife shot him last night. She says she done it b’eni he was a big loafer and no 'count. Gap-My heavens! If'th at there Idy gets to be ketchin’ ;Tione of us gents Is safe. »oT«n FITS tH E CASE Editor—Isn't It rather trite to say, "Senatoi1I Broadmouth replied In a few welt chosen words?” .

DESERVING OF HIGH HONORS Doctor Wagner of the Darmstadt (Ger many) Experiment^ Station Has Done Much for Agriculture. Fifty years ago Dr. Paul Wagner be came director of ,the experiment sta tion at Darmstadt, which had just been founded, apd has. since won for this Institution a world renown, ’-.through his investigations on plant foods; D.oetor„Wagner certainly de serves to receive great commendation for having., with the help of his own method of pot experiments, substan tially extended, and firmly established the foundation Jor the use of .commer cial fertilizers. He was the first to recognise and correctly estimate the fertilizing ef fect of the Thomas phosphate or basi slag. By a steady I improvement in • the methods of fertilizing experiments In the field, he succeeded In making of -these field experiments a practical means of exact investigation. Doctor Wagner, furthermore, has clearly shown the results of his in vestigations in. the vegetation house, field and laboratory, to the practical farmer, either in articles which are easily understood, or in inspiring lec tures: and in this way he has contrib uted in an enormous degree toward the proper use of. commercial fertilizers in agriculture. Here in the United States many of Deetor Wagner’s articles are known, l aving been translated or summarized by numerous writers, to the great ad- ire of American agriculture. Vanity makes a man think that everybody else thinks as much of him as hq thinks, of himself.

These rep- tiled are Imtched Inland, and soon after birth crawl out of their uests, he ex plains. Then with a few exceptions they immediately start their journey In tin! exact direction of the sea. The most important reason for this beh/ivior of the turtle . is their tern dency to go'.down hill, Mr. Parker be lieves. They also show an Inclination to move toward’ regions in which the horizon is clear and unobstructed by largfe masses. And blue areas seem to attract them more than other colors.

The growing mash should be kept before young pullets at all times un til they are ready for'the laying house. Three or four pounds of feed are re quired for the production of one pound of gain, live weight. The young cockerels should be sep arated from the pullets when they weigh from 1% to 2 pounds, and those not needed for breeding stock should be fattened and marketed. Early hatched cockerels, marketed early In j the season, are usually a better paying proposition than when they are kept' until 4 or 5 pounds and sold on a lower market. The young pullet: should be given every opportunity to f develop, as she needs a vigorous body of strong constitution and vitality for heavy egg production.

It's so like this d—d, terrible wilderness In which we live.” Bruce gazed in amazement. The dark and dreadful poetry of this man’s nature was coming to the fore. The wind made a strange echo to' his words—a long, wild shriek as it swept over the heads of the pines. “Then niiy are you waiting?” Bruce “So you can understand everything. But I guess that time 'is here. There is to be no mercy at the end of this fight, Bruce; I ask none and will give none. You have waged a war against me, you have escaped me many times, you have won the love of the woman I love—and this is to be my answer.” His voice dropped a note, and he spoke more quietly. “I’m1 gping to kill you, Bruce.” » ' . “Then try it,” Bruce answered stead ily. Tm In a hurry to go back to Linda.” Simon's smoldering wrath blazed up at the words. Both men stemed to spring at the same time. Their arnis flailed, then interlocked; and they rocked a . long time—back and forth in the snow.' For the first time Bruce had full realization of Simon’s mighty strength. With ail the, power of his body he tried to wrench him off his feet, but it was like trying to tear a tree from the ground. ' ' • But surprise at the other’s power was not confined' to Bruce alone. Simon knew that he had an opponent worthy of the iron of liis own muscles, and he put all his terrible might Into the battle. He tried to reach Bruce’s throat, but the man’s strong shoulder held the arm against his side. Si mon's great1 hand reached to pin Bruce’s arm, and for the flrst time he discovered the location of hils weak ness. He saw the color sweep from Bruce’s face and water drops that were not melted snow come' upon It. It was all the advantage needed be tween such evenly matched contest ants. And Simon forgot his spoken word that he wished this fight to be a test of superiority alone. His fury swept over him like a flood and ef faced all things else; and he cen tered his whole attack upon Bruce’s wound. In a moment he had him down, and he struck once into Bruce’s white face with his terrible knuckles. The blow seni a strange sickness through the younger man’s frame; and he tried vainly to struggle to his feet. ‘‘Fight! Fight on I!’ was the message his 'mind dispatched along his nerves to his tortured muscles, but for an instant they wholly refused to respond. They had endured too much. Total un consciousness hovered above him, ready to descend.- Strangely, he seemed to .know that Simon ha.d crept from his body and was even now reaching some dread ful weapon that lay. beside the dead form of the horse. In an instant he had it, and Bruce's eyes opened in time to see Iilm swinging It aloft. It was his rifle, and Simon was aiming a murderous blow at him with its stock. ' There was no chance toward it off. No human skull could withstand its shattering Impact. v But that war of life and death In the far reaches of Trail’s End was not to end so soon. At that instant there was an* amazing intervention. A great gray form came lunging out of the snow flurries. Their vision was limited to a few feet, and so fast the creature came, with such in credible, smashing power, that he was upon them In a breath. It . was the Killer.in the full/glory of the charge; and he had caught up with them at last. Bruce saw only his great figure looming just over him. Simon, with amazing ,agility, leaped .to one side just In time, then battered down the rifle stock with all his strength. But the blow was not meant • for' Bruce. It- struck Where aimed—the great gray shoulder of the grizzly. Then, dimmed and half-obscured by the snow flurries, there began as strange a battle as the great pines above them had ever beheld. The Killer’s' rage was upon him, and the. blow at the shoulder had arrested his charge for a moment only. Then he wheeled, a snarling, fighting monster, with death for any living creature in the blow of his forearm, and lunged toward Simon again. It was the Killer at his grandest. Simon had no chance to shoot his rifle.-In the instant that he would raise it those great claws and fangs would be upon him. He swung it as a club, striking again and again, dodging' the sledge-hammer blows and springing aside In the. second of the Killer’s lunges. He was fighting for hfs life, and no . eye could bemean that effort. _ ■ .Slmoii himself sqemed exalted, and for once It appeared that the grizzly had found an opponent worthy of his might. They were of one kind, and they seemed to understand each other The lust •'and passion and fury of bat tle.-were upon--them both* o A u th o r o f T h e V o ic e o f th e P a c k ” The scene harked back to the young days of the world, when man and beast battled for dominance. Nothing had changed. The forest. stood grave and silent, just the same. The ele ments warred against them from the clouds—that ancient persecution of which the wolf pack sings on the ridge at night,' that endless strife that has made of existence a travail and a scourge, Man and beast and storm— those t i l l great foes were arrayed the same as ever. ‘ Time swung back-- ward a thousand-thousand years. The snow seemed to come from all directions In great clouds and flurries He Swung It as a Club, Striking Again and Again, Dodging the Sledge- Hammer Blows and Swinging Aside In the Second of the Killer's Lunges. and streamers, and time after time it .wholly hid the contestants from Bruce's eyes. At such times he could tell how the light was going by sound alone—the snarls of the Killer, the wild oaths of Simon, the impact of the ,descending rifle butt. Bruce gave no thought,.of taking part. Both were enemies^ his- own strength seemed gone: The cold deepened; Bruce could feel it creeping into his blood, halting its flow, threatening the spark of life within him. The full light of day had come'out upon the land. Bruce knew the wilderness now. All its primitive passions were in play, all its mighty forces at grips. Tiie storm seemed to be trying to extinguish these mortal lives; jealous of their in trusion, longing (for the world it knew before livihg things came to dwell upon it, when its winds swept end lessly over an uninhabited earth, and its winter snows lay trackless'and its rule was supreme. And beneath it, blind to tlie knowledge that in union alota'e lay strength to oppose its might —to oppose "all those cruel forces that make a battleground of life—man and beast fought their battle to the death. Linda came stealing out of the snow —following the grizzly’s trail—and crept beside Bruce. She crouched be side him, and his arm went about her as if to shield .her. She had heard the sounds of the battle from afar: she had thought that Bruce, was the contestant, and her terror had left a deep, pallor upon her face; yet now- she gazed ypon that frightful conflict with a strange and enduring calm. Both she and Bruce knew that there was but one sure conqueror, and that was Death; If the Killer survived the fight and tltrough the mercy of the forest gods spared. their lives; there remained the -blizzard. They could conceive" of no circumstances whereby -further effort would be of the least avail. " ' The scene grew in fury. The last burst of strength was upon Simon; In another moment he would- be ex hausted. The bear, had suffered ter rible punishment from the blows of the rifle stock. He recoiled once more, then lunged with unbelievable speed. His huge paw, with all his might be hind it, struck the weapon from Si mon’s hand. , It shot through the air seemingly almost as fast as the bullets it had often propelled from its muzzle, and. struck tfie trunk of a tree. .So hard. It came that the lock was shattered; they heard the ring of metal. The bear rocked forward once more and struck again. And then- all the sound that was left was the eerie complaint of the wind. Simon lay still. The brave fight was over.' His tcpll had ended fitting ly—In the gripof such powers as 1 were typical of himself. But the bear did not leap'upon him to tear his flesh. ’ l*’or an instant' he stood like a statue in gray stone, head lowered, as If in a strange attitude of thought.Then" the great grizzly, uttered one deep note and half-turned about. His eyes rested-upon the twan, but be did not seem to'see them. Then be turned again and headed off slowly, deliberately; directly Into, the face of the storm/ CHAPTER XXXI The flurries almost immediately ob scured the Killer’s form, and Bruce turned 'his attention back x to Linda. ‘“It’s the . end,” he said quietly. “Why not here as well as anywhere else?” The horse on which _was tied their scanty blankets' was miles away by now; its tracks ipere obscured in the. snow, and they could hot find their way to any shelter that might be con cealed among the ridges. But before the question.was finished, a strange jiote had come intq his voice. It iwas as if his attention had been called from his words by something much more momentous. The trJth .was that it had .been caught and held by a curious expression on the girl’s face. All at once she sprang to her feet. “Bruce I” she cried. “Perhaps there’s a way yet. A long, long chance, but maybe a way yet Get your rifle—Simon's is broken—and < come with me.” Without waiting for him to rise she struck off Into tlie storm, following tlie k t t footprints of tlie hear. The man struggled with himself, sum moned all that was left of ills reserve supply of strength, and leaped up. He snatched his rifle from the ground where Simon had thrown it, and in an instant was beside her. Her cheeks ,were blazing. “Maybe it just means further tor ture,” she confessed to‘ him, “but don’t you want to make every effort we can to save ourselves? Don’t you want .to fight till the last breath?” She glanced up and saw her answer in the. growing strength of his face. Then his words spoke too. “As long as the slightest chance remains,” he replied. “And you'll forgive me if It comes to nothing?” He smiled dimly. She took fresh heart when she saw he still had. strength enough to smile. -“You don’t have to ask me that.” “A moment ago an idea came to me—it' came so straight and sure It was as if a voice told me,” she ex? plained hurriedly; She didn’t look at him again. Siie kept her eyes intent upon the great footprints in the snow. To miss them for a second meant, In that world of whirling snow, to lose them forever, “it was after the bear had killed Simon and had gone away. He acted exactly as if he thought of something and went out to do it—ex actly as If he had a destination In view. Didn’t you see—his anger seemed to die in him and he started off In the face of the storm. I’ve watched the way's of animals too long not to know that lie had something in view. It; wasn’t food; he would have attacked the body of the horse, or even Simon’s body. If he had just been running away or wandering, he would have gone with the wind, not against it. He was weakened from the fight—perhaps dying—and I think—” He finished the sentence for her, breathlessly.. “That he’s going toward shelter.” ‘‘Yes. You know, Bruce—the bears hibernate every year. That’s my one hope now—that the Killer has gone to some cave he know Mbout to hiber nate until this storm is over. I think from the way he started off, so sure and so straight, that it’s near: It would be dry and out of the storm', and if we could take it away from him we could make a fire that the snow wouldn’t put out. It would ^mean life—and we could go on when the.storm is.over." “You remember—we have only one cartridge.” “Yes, I know—I heard you firq. And it’s only a tiilrty-thirty at that. It’s a risk—as terrible a risk as we’ve yet run. But Ifs a chance." . They soon became aware that .they were mounting a low ridge. They left the underbrush and emerged into the open timber. And all at once Bruce, who now walked In front, paused with lifted hand, and pointed. Dim through the flurries they made out the outline of the bear. And Lin da’s inspiration had come true. .. There was a' ledge of rocks just in front—a place such as the rattle snakes had loved in the blasting sun of summer—and a black hole yawned In its SldevThe aperture had been almost covered with the snow, abd they saw that the great creature was scooping away the remainder of the white drift with his paw. As they waited, the opening grew'steadily wider, revealing the mouth .-of a little cavern In the face of the rock. “Shoot!” Linda whispered. “If he' gets inside we won’t be able to get him out.” ... - But Bruce shook his head, then stole nearer. She understood; he had only one. cartridge, and he ■ must not take the risk of wounding the aninial. The fire had to be • centered on a vital place. , • ' He walked steadily nearer until it seemed to Lindav he would advance straight into reach of the terriMe claws. The Killer turned his head and saw Bruce. Rage flamed again In his eyes. He half-turned about; then poised to charge. The gun moved ,swiftly.' easily, to the man’s shoulder, his chin dropped down, his straight eyes gazed along the barrel In spite of hisiwound' never had human arms held "more steady than his did then. -And he marked the Ilttlq4 space of gray squarely between, the two reddening eyes. Tbei finger pressed back’ steadily against the trigger. Tbe rifle cracked In the silence.' And then, there was a curious effect of tableau,'a long sec ond In. which all three figures seemed to stand deathly, still. ., The' bear leaped forrard, and It seemed wholly impossible to Linda that Bruce could swerve aside in time tp avoid the blow.‘;She-cried out In horror as the great pavps whipped down In the place where Bi stood. But the man had t pared for this very recoil, and he had sprung aside just as the claws raked past., \ And the'KUler would hunt no more In Trail’s End. At the end of that leap he fell, his great body .quivering strangely In the snow. The lead bad gone straight home where it had been aimed, and the charge itself-had'been e^ostly muscular reflex. He lay still at last, a gray,, mammoth figure that was majestic even In death. No more would th^ deer shudder with terror at'the sound-of his heavy stjep In the thicket. No more would the herds fly Into stampede at the sight pf his great shadow on the moonlit grass. The last of the Oregon grizzlies had gone the way of all his breed. , * * * • * * • To Bruce and Linda, standing breathless and awed In the snow- flurries, his death imaged the passing of an old order—the last stand that the forces of the wild had made M rs. L . ;E. Cunn But there was pathos in it, too. There was the symbol of ml^jity breeds humbled-.and destroyed. But the pines were left. Those eter nal symbols of' the wilderness—and of powers beyond the wilderness—' still stood straight and grand and im passive above them. While these two lived, at least, they- would still keep their watch over the wilderness, they would still stand erect and brave to the buffeting of the storm and snow, and In their shade dwelt'strength and peace. The cavera that was revealed to them had a rock -floor and had been hollowed out by running-water In ages past. Bruce built a fire at its mouth of some of the long tree roots that ex tended down into It 1 and the life-giv ing warmth was a benediction. Al ready the drifting snow had begun,to cover the aperture.- “We can wait here until the blizzard is done,” Bruce told Linda, as she sat beside , him In the soft glow' of the fire. “We -have a little food, and we can cut more from the body of the grizzly when we need It. There’s dead wood under the snow. And when tye storm Is over, we can get our bearings and walk out.” She sat a long time without answer ing. “And after that?” she asked. He smiled. “No one knows. It’s ten days before the thirtieth—the bliz zards up here never last over three or four days. We’ve got plenty of time to get the document down to the courts. - The law will deal with the rest of the Turners. We’ve won, Linda.” His hands groped for hers, and he laid it agdinst his lips. With her other hand she stroked his snow-wet ha'irr Her eyes were lustrous In the firelight. “And after that—after all that Is settled? You will come back to the mountains?” “CouldT ever leave them!” he ex claimed. “Of course,, Linda. But I .don’t know what I can do up here— except niaybe to establish my claim to my father’s old farm. There’s a hun dred or so acres. I believe I’d like to feel the handles of a plow In my palms.” “It was what yon were made for, Bruce,” she told him. "It’s born in you. There’s a hundred acres there— and three thousand—somewhere else. You’ve got new strength, Bru$e. You could take hold and make them yield up. their hay—and their crops—and fill all these hills with the herds.” She stretched out her arms.

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are ex tensively advertised, all at once 'drop out of sight and are soon forgotten?

Loosen Up That Colj RECORD FOR CJiR L Ne v High Record For Month in Build* ing Construction, It is Declared. ~-O- v New York.—Evidences of' the rapid expansion of business activity have multiplied during the-past week. Re-' ports on pig iron production during February show that.a new high record for the month has been set and that the capacity of the furnace's active at the clase of the month was equal to just about the highest rate attained under war conditions. Last month algo set a new high record for February wilh regards to building construction. In addition, weekly reports on rail road carloading continue to show a movement of freight unprecedented at this season of the year. It would ap pear, therefore, that production is at- the record level and that it is still in creasing. -Commodity meanwhile and not un naturally. remain firjn. Both Dun’ ’ and Bradstreets’ indices moved uT ward during February, tbe advance in the general level, amounting to some thing like two per cent. Examination of the component groups of the indices discloses the fact that the gains have been general! It is clear, however, that the trend toward higher levels has been continued during March. With business so active and prices firm, there have been many signs of increased public participation in the speculative markets. Pronounced ac tivity has been apparent both in stocks and in cotton. Values have shown considerable power of resistance to the attacks of resistance to the attacks of bearish professionals. The move ment in both of these- markets came to a halt toward the close of the week, profit takin and short selling producing an irregularly downward trend. Nev ertheless, it is generally considered that the. character of the markets has undergone a distinct change since the first of the year and much interests is being displayed in the course of events during the next few weeks. Further/increases in steel prices have been the rttle. Steel makers are making every effort to enlarge pro duction but are close to the-limit im posed by physical conditions, trans portation and labor - supplies. This in turn is likely to have a reflex action on certain other industries. Thus it is said that automobile production and building construction are also ap proaching a limit because of scarcity of materials.. Despite the fact that the United States Steel corporation’s operations are at a practically 90 per cent of capacity, the corporation’s un filled orders increased 373.000 tons during February. At the close of the month the total ,tonnage ■ on order amounted to’ 7,284,000 tons as com pared with 4,141,000 tons a year ago. Gunmen Rob Schooner of Cargo. . / Halifax, N.

The greeting extended . the Presi dent and his wife at Ormond was less formal, but equally as enthusi astic as those at Jacksonville and St. Augustine. The little town was decor ated with flags for the occasion and townspeople lined the railroad tracks for several blocks, When Mrs. Harding stepped from, the train, apparently having experi enced no ill effects from the 24 hours trip, the' gathering broke into cheers. Mrs. Harding immediately entered an awaiting, automobile, b'ut the President, walked ahead to shake hands with the townspeople and to acknowledge greetings. 'While talking'with the en- gineer'and conductor beside the loco motive, the automobile carrying Mrs. Harming drove up and she grasped.the grimy hand of the engineer and thank- ed, him and the other members of the train crew for making the trip so com fortable for her. - The President and Mrs. Harding then-bparded the^McLean houseboat, a_ one hundred .and fifty foot, craft, called “The’Pioneer.” They were- ac companied aboard by ,former Budget Director Dawes,- Brigadier General Charles E. ,Sawyer and Chairman Las ker of the shipping board.

The most eloquent and the strong est portion of his address was his pje’a for justice to the men who fought and won the war, of whom, he said, 5,000 are, today in state insane asylums, and 387,000 in’hospitals or are supposed to -have been examined by the doctors. “I will never rest,” he declared em phatically, “and tlysre are a million more men in this country who will never rest until President', H a rd in g -, !

S1This is a ’ portion of what W ashington called the post road, and was lo cally called the national highway, W inston-Salem to Satesvllle; an experimental piece of top soil in which the United States good roads office had taken much interest. Most of that between Winston-Sa lem and Mocksville is built or build ing as state route 6 5 ; Mocksville to Statesville is a section of No. 75, which one discovers on the map to run east from Lenoir winding a- round northward to th e 1 Virginia Iine inG rahvillecounty (Richmond road) 150 miles more or less. It runs via Taylorsville, Statesville, Mocksville, Lexington, Ashboro, Siler City, Pittsboro,, Chapel Hill, D urhau and Oxford. The old post road being one of th e first good roads of any length in that vicinity has devoloped a heavy traffic; much of that part between Mocksville and Statesville is unfavorably situat ed for soil construction and fre quently gives way under the weight of its traffic. T he enterprise of the Statesville and Mocksville people is well worth the determined effort that h a s been inaugurated.— Greensboro News. DEATH OF TWO AGED CITIZENS Mn.

Washington.—Government building and construction work now under way should be slowed down and the init iation.of new projects delayed, Secre tary Hoover recommended to Fresi dent Harding in a letter made public In order that they may be pushed for ward at some later period, when there is less private construction activity and need for alleviating or preventing unemployment, j The commerce secretary in a report made at the President's request sug gested that state and municipal gov ernments consider the adoption of a similar policy, which accords with sug gestions resulting from, the national .unemployment conference of 1921 that government projects of all sorts be uti lized as an employment reserve, so far as possible, by which demand for labor anci materials might bo thrown into markets during periods of depres sion. Mr. Hoover said that a survey of the situation in the construction trades had brought out several fundamental conclusions which he listed as fol lows: The year 1922 was a year of very large .employment and activity in the construction trades and at the end of the year stocks of construction, ma terials were much reduced. Since the beginning of the present year there has been even more activity than In the same, period last year and the con tracts let in the past few months are of- larger volume than any. hitherto entered into in a similar period.

ATTEND King’s Bnsiness College Miaca K c Polygamy Has Become Thing of Past and Liberty Is Equal to Western Sisters’—Necessities of War Brought Emancipation. Constantinople.— Tradition, backed' by prejudice, doubtless causes many people throughout the world to regard the status of women In Muliomeran countries us the same us that por trayed in the Arabian Nights and to picture, the Turkish Wonian i as the slave of a polygamous husband, Igno- rant and illiterate, Imprisoned In a harem, with nothing to d6 but to lounge upon cushions, stnoke a nargi- leb, and minister to the pleasures of her lord and mast er. •This Is fallacious -and unjust. There is hardly any polyam.v, In Turkey to day. The average Turfeish woman Is the only wife of her husband and Is comparable in education and persona! liberty with the women of most other lands. This latter fact lias now been em phasized by the admission of women and girls as students to the medical school of Constantinople university. The Itrst official attempts to secure the admission of women to medical studies and to the exercise of the pro'-' fessinnwere made Jn 1917 by Dr. Itas- silu Ferid, then sanitary director rif Constantinople. He gained a favorable vote from the superior council of health and a demand by the ministry for the elaboration of an enabling act. Champions Woman’s Cause. For many years Bessini Omar I’aslin. professor of the obstetrical clinic at the faculty, the founder of the Red I Crescent, rector of Cite university, has championed the cause of women in the councils of the 'faculty and university, j In' 1911 BessIm Omar I’asha inaugu rated for women regular lectures at : the university on the question of hy- ' giene. This was the first step. A short time after, in 1914, a feminine univer sity was founded which, during its five years of- existence, has awarded 43 di plomas. But, despite its title, its teaching did pot go beyond second ary studies. A little later, in 1919, women were admitted to the Univer sity of Stanilioui, first to the faculty of science and letters, then to the faculty of law, while the faculty of medicine still remained closed to them. At the beginning file women followed special courses distinct from those of the men. then Hie separation between the sexes . was abandoned. From year to year the number of women increased. To- day 130 are students in tiie university. *j The necessities of war brought about I woman's intellectual emancipation. In the Balkan war of 1912 a school of nurses was founded. Until then the Red Crescent had employed only men as nurses. Later women took part in the administration of the. Red Crescent. Finally, during the World war, the difficulties of life, the high cost'of food, the prolonged absence of heads of the families and the necessity of feeding the children, compelled women of a family to share the work-of the men in commerce, administration and instruction. By her work woman has acquired the_ right of independence. She lias come out of. the harem and ever more concerns* herself with the outside w orld. In the home- many women and young girls have adopted European habits and toilet, and you .could not distin guish a Mussulman salon from a Chris tian salon. The most advanced fam ilies have assumed habits of life cop ied from the French, and the husband, at the side of his wife, receives at ta ble his invited guests, men ai-1 women.

Ball- sclieit, siveuty-one, known to the wo.rld1 of the circus and museum as “The Rat tlesnake King,” is dead at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Emma Braun, in San Antonio. Although he had handled literally hundreds of thousands of snakes in a long earee/, his death was a natural one. Ballscheit was a native of Germany but came to Texas when a young man and at first engaged in/ farming; It was purely by accident that he started in the snake business, it is said. A medicine show was In Helotes, a small settlement in Bexar county and offered $2 for a ralthisnpke. Ballscheit never had caught a rattier, but going out with a long stick at the end of which was a forked prong lie soon found a large snake, pinned its head to the earth then picked it up, threw it in a suck and carried it to the show man. .

' Becomes Wholesale Dealer. As the “Rattlesnake King” became Iietter known and his snakes were more ,In demand among circuses, medicine shows and museums, he became a wholesale-dealer, as well as a retailer, and Mexicans In the off season when farm Work was slack frequently went shake catching. When they made a catch they were certain to’ find a mar ket with “the Snake King” -Mr. Ballscheit was wont to declare that the rattlesnake was much misun derstood. Unless the reptile was molested it would not strike ordinarily, but would escape from the vicinity of threatened danger. If a rattler Is startled it will strike anj in the skin- shedding season, when the reptile is blind, anything approaches at its peril, for the snake lashes out at every noise. Belonging to the viper family, the rSttler’s young are born, not hatched as in the case of ,many other reptiles, and references to rattlesnake eggs, sometimes seen, are due to mistaking the eggs of some other snake for those of, the deadly rattling viper fir to na ture faking. The female gives .birth sometimes tc litters of as many as a. dozen vigorous little reptiles in the early- spring, and they emerge into the world fully equipped with poison sacs and fangs, capable of slaying man or beast front the day of their birth on. Warns Before Striking. “The rattlesnake is a gentleman. He always gives due warning before lie strikes," Mr. Ballscheit explained re cently. “In shedding seas'bn.when he Cannot hunt because of blindness, his hunger and sightlessness makes the rattler a mean customer. Sometimes- he will sound warning, but generally not, and..he will strike at any noise during that period.” Mr. Ballsclieit was not afraid of rat tlers and the larger they were, and therefore the more dangerous, the bet ter he liked them, for rattlers sell by the pound and not by length as the un initiated might imagine. When the demand for the live snakes proved slack, the snakes still proved profitable to Mr. Ballschelt. who killed them and cured the hides for use in leather, goods su'eh as belts. hatbands, fobs and purses, the skins being soft and pliable when properly tanned. The carcasses are rendered for the fat, which is. highly esteemed for lotions, oiniments and for use as a treatment for rheumatic affections. The venom also Is useful in science, and ,.in the manufacture of drugs. While many of—the snakes sold by “the Snake King" went to the pur chasers with their poison fangs intact, the majority had their fangs extracted before they were ■ shipped. Tlie ex traction of fangs is accomplished by getting the snake to strike at a heavy piece of silk. The fangs beeome en tangled in the texture of the goods and a quick, strong pull accomplishes the dental work.

Came a grunt from “Soda-Water” Sam as he put down his harmonica, on which he had been playing “The Cow boy’s Lament,” with variations. It was Sunday afternoon on the Three Star rancheria. The three part ners, saddle-chums for years, ever seeking mutual employ, known through Texas and Arizona as the "Three1Mus- keteers of the Range,” sat on the porch of the ranch house, discussing business and Iigbler matters. One year before they had. pooled their savings and Sandy Bourke, youngest of the three and most aggressive, cooi- est and swiftest of action, had glori ously bucked the faro tiger and won. enough to buy the Three Star ranch and certain rights of free range.' The purchase bad not included the brand of the late owner. Originally the holding had been called.' the Two-Bar-P. As certain cattlemen were not want ing who had a knack of appropriating calves and changing the brands of steers. Sandy had been glad enough. In his capacity oN business manager, to changfe the name of the ranch and brand. Two-Bar-P was too easily al tered to H-B, D-P1 D-B, O-P, or B; a score of .combinations hard to prove, as forgeries. , There 'had been lengthy argument concerning the new name. Three istiir, so Soda=Water Saui—whose nic.cn,-utie was satirical—opined, smacked of .tlit- saloon rather than the ranch. Iml il was finally decided on anil Uie brand ing irons duly made. Sandy Bourke had dark -brown Imi r, inclined to be curly, a lenilency he offset- by frequent clipping of Iiis thatch. The sobriquet of “Sandy’- re ferred to his grit. He was broad- shouldered' tall 'and lean, "weighing a hundred and seventy pounds of well- strung; frame. His eyes were gray and the lids sun-pucl;ered; Bis deeply tanned skin showed the- freckles on face and bands as faint Inlays; his long, limber legs were slightly bowed. Not so the" curve of Soda-Wa'ter Sam’s legs. Tou could pass a suiall keg between the latter’s knees with out interference. Otherwise. Sam. whose last name was Manning, was mainly distinguished by his enormous iirooplng mustache, suggesting the horns of a Texas steer. Inverted. • As for Mormon, disillusioned hero of three matri’/ionlnl adventures, woman-soft where Sandy .was woman- shyrhe was '.high-stomached,' too sto'ul for saddle-ease to himself or mount, sun-rouged whert his partners were burned; brown. His pate was' bald save for a tonsure-fringe of grfzzle- red. Mormon, with stubby /fingers won derfully deft, 'was plaiting' horsehair Sibout a stick of hardwood'to form the handle of-a quirt Be stopped sud denly-staring. ?t the fringe of the waving mesqtttta . : ' ■ >. “Look at that ornery coyote i” . he M id. “Got his nerve with him,' the mangy calf-eater, cornin’ up to the ranch thataway.” “Mormon, you need glasses fo’ yore old age. That ain’t a coyote,- It’s a dawg," pronounced Sandy. The creature left tho cover of the mesqulte and came slowly but deter minedly toward the ranch house: past the corral and cook shack; its daring proclaiming it anything but a coward ly, foot-hill coyote. Its brush was down, almost trailing, its muzzle drooped, it went lamely on all four legs and occasionally limped on three. “Collie!” proclaimed Sandy. “Pore devil’s plumb tuckered out.” “Sheepdawg!" affirmed Sam, disgust in his voice. “El—I of a gall to come round a cattle ranch.” The gray-white dog came oh, dry tongue lolling. It halted twenty feet from the porch, one paw up.' as Sandy bent forward and called to it. “Come on, you dawg. Come In, ol' feller. Mormon, take that hair out of that pan of water.an- set it where lie can see it.” Mormon shifted the pan In which he had been soaking the horsehair for easier plaiting and the dog spiffed at It1 watching Sandy closely with eyes that were dim from Oiirst and weari ness. Sandy patted his knee encour agingly, and the- tired animal seemed suddenly to make up its mind. Ignor ing the water, it came straight to Sandy, uttered a harsh whine, catch ing at the leather tassel on. the cow man’s worn leather chaparejos, tug ging feebly. As Sandy stooped to pat its head, powdered with alkali dust that covered its coot, the collie re leased its hold and collapsed on one side, panting,, utterly exhausted, with glazing eyes that held appeal. Sanay. reached for the pan, squat ting down, and chuckejl some water from the palm of his hand Into the open jaws, upon the swollen tongue. I rtdin' through the week thtfi I care to nowadays. I'll_stlck to;the chair.” “Prod up Pfedro to. git.'-some hot water ready. Keep a kittle b’illn’. No tellin’ what time we’ll git back,” said Sandy. ', " He pressed the dog on Its side, In the‘shade, and-went into the house.. Mormon followed him. Grit watched them disappear, .gave a little whine of. impatience, accepted the situation philosophically as he listened to sounds from the corral that told him of horses being caught, and drooped Iiis head on this dirt, lying relaxed, eyes closed, gaining strength against the return trip. Sam rode to the porch on his roan, Sandy’s pinto and a gray mare lead ing, and “ tied them to the ground” with trailing reins as Sandy came out bearing a pan of food, a package and ,a leather', case. He coaxed the collie to eat the food from his hand while Sam brought the whisky. “Load my guns, Mormon,” he re quested. N Mormon did it without comment. The two blued Colts were, as much a part of Sandy’s ,working outfit as his belt, or the bridle of his borse. Sam buckled'on his own cartridge belt, hol ster and pistol, fixed his spurs, ‘ tied the package of food to his saddle, filled two canteens and did the same with them. .Sandy offered the pan of water to Grit, who .drank In business like fashion, assured of the success of his mission. He stood up squarely on his legs, eased by the plastering. They were only tired now. As Sandy and Sam mounted, the latter leading the gray mare, Grit ran ahead of them and came back to make certain they were following; Then he headed for the spot in cue mesquite whence he ,had emerged, marking the opening of a narrow trail. The horsus broke into a lope, the two men; the three mounts, and the-- dog, off on their' errand of mercy. “One Thing About a Sheepman Ia Al'ius Good,*’ Said Mormon, “His Dawg.” The, dog licked bis hand, whined again, trred to stand up, failed, suc ceeded with the aid of ‘ friendly fin gers in its/ruff and eagerly lapped a few mouthfuls. Again It seized, the tassel- and pulled, looking up into Sandy’s face ftnplorlngly. • “Somethin’ wrong;” said the man ager of the Tliree Star. “Tryln’ to tell us about It. AU right, ol’ feller, you drink some more WatehV Let me look at that paw.” He gently took the fool tlini Muwed at his chaps' and ex amined It. The paw was worn to the quick, Weeding. “Come out of the Bad lands." he said, looking toward the range. “Through Pyramid pass, likely.” Sanily rolled the d«; on his side and found the other pads In the same con dition. Running his fingers beneath the ruff, scratching gently In sign of friendship, he discovered a'leather collar with a brass tag, rudely en graved. the lettering worn- but* Ieg- ible. •; ' “GRIT. Prop.

You'll have. to. hoof, it till we CHAPTER II Casey. The Iwo men followed the dog across the fiats,. through- mesquite, through chaparral to barren slopes set with strange twisted shapes of cac tus. When it became apparent that Sandy’s hazard had bit the mark, as they, entered the defile that made entrance for Pyramid pass, the only path across the Cumbre range to the Bad lands beyond, Sandy reined In, coaxed up Grit, resentful, almost sus picious of any halt, lifting the collie to the saddle in front of him. Grit protested and the pinto plunged, but 'Sandy's persistence, the soothe of his steady voice, persuaded the dog at last to accommodate itself as best it could, helped by , Sandy’s one arm, sometimes with two as Sandy, riding with knees welded to Pronto’s with ers, dropping reins over the saddle- horn, left the rest to the horse. ,‘‘I flgger we got some distance yet," he said to Sam. “Dawg was goin' steady as a woodchuck ten mile' from water.

At the> far tend of the pass the dog struggled to get down. “I’ll let him give us a lead,” said Sandy, “soon aji we hit the lava.

In the alkali and sand. Once the dog’s tracks* led aside to a scummy puddle, saucered by alkali, dotted wjth the spoor of desert ani mals that drank the bitter water In extremity. Then it ran straight to a wide reef of lava;. Sandy set down the collie. Grit ran fast across the pitted surface, ahead of the horses, waiting for them, to cross, the lava!

A more definite shape. Saiidy picked up Grit’s trail once again; The SollIe wriggled, shot up Its muzzle, whined, licked Sandy’s face; “Nigh there,” suggested Sam. Sandy- nodded and let the dog get down. Grit raced off, nose high, streaking around a curve. When they reached it he was out of sight. The road rose at a steep pitch, cliff to the right, preci pice to the left, stretching on . and up to the summit of the pass. Grit, unseen, ahead, was barking In staccato volleys. There was another sound, a faint shout, unmistakably human. The men looked at each otber with eyebrows raised. “That' ain’t no man’s voice*” said Sam. “That’s a gal.> -He looked quizzically at Sandy.f knowing, his chum’s Inhibition. ... .._ . .. Stindy was woman-shy. Men met his, level glance, fairly, with swift cer tainty that -here stood a man, four square ; or shiftily, according- to their ease of conscience, knowing, his breed. Sandy was a two-gun man but he’ was not a killer. There were no notches on the handles of his Colts. In ear lier days he bad shot with deadly aim and purpose, but never save In self- defense and upon the side of law and right and order. Among men his poise was. secure, but, In a woman’s presence, Sandy Bourke’s tongue was tied save In emergency, his wits tangled. Whatever He privately , felt of the attraction of the opposite sex, the proximity of a 'girl produced 'an- embarrassment he hated but could not help. He gave Sam no chance for banter. Action was forward and It always straightened out the short-circuiting of Sandy’s mental reflexes toward womankind. ' He touuhed Pronto’s flanks with the dulled rowels he wore, and the plntc broke Into' a lope. ' A big bowlder was perched upon the nigh side of the ropd. Grit came out from behind It, barked, whirled* and seemltigly dived-. into ' the. "canyon. Coming up with the mare. Sam foupd Sandy, dismounted, waiting for him. Wbat had happened was plain to both of them. The rotten, hastily made road collapsed undei^ the lurch of. a wagon, jolting over outcrop uncovered by the rains. Scored' dirt where frhn- tlc hoofs' had pawed In vain, tire marks that ^ended in side scrapes-and vanished were evidence. Sam got off the roan, the tired horses standing still, snuffing the marks . of trouble. Far down the slope Grit. gave, tongue. The ..cliff, shouldered out and they could see nothing from the broken road. How anyone could have hurtled over the precipice and'be still able to call, for help without the aid of some miracle was an (enigma. They listened for an other shout, but, save for the barking of the dog, there was silence In the gflm gorge. In the sky, two buzzards wheeled. " . - Sandy untied the package of food and the leather medicine bit; Sam slapped his hip - to be sure of -‘his whisky flask.' Aided fiy their high heels,; digging them In the unstable dirt, they worked down the cliff, rounding the shoulder. A wide edige of. outcrop Jutted out from the canyon , wall jagged into bat tlements. Piled there was a wagon, on its side, the canvas tilt sagged in, Its hoops broken. A. white horse, ema ciated, little more than buzzard meat when alive, lay with Its legs stiff m the air, neck flattened and head limp A broken pole, with splintered ends, crossed the body of its mate, a bay gaunt-hipped, high of ribs. It lay stilli but its flanks heaved, catching a of sun on Its dull hide. ' I Betweeii the wheels of the jvagon • knelt a girl In a gown of faded blue head hidden behind a sunbonnet. She leaned forward In the shadow of the wagon. Sandjr caught a glimpse of a huddled body beyond her. Grit sat on; his haunches, bead toward the road, thrown back at each bark. Sandy reached the ledge, first. Tlle girl did not turn her head, though T,|s descent jyas^oisy He touched her gently on the Shoulder, felling himself that-she was “just a kid.” i looked up, her face ijned where tea^s had laned down through the ipask of dust. Npw she was past cry- Sandy’s pitifully, holding neither surprise, nor hope.^ “He’s dead.’’ She seemed to be gating a. fact long accepted. “He’s dead. An’ he made me jump.

Respectfully submitted, TODD & McCOLLOUCH, Certified Public Accountants. ByD H McColliugh. C P A. A Further Correction. Mr. J. L. llolton, former Coun ty Treasurer, made a statement in the Davie Record of January 28 th, that a report had been circulated- throughout the couuty that he was short of couuty funds to the extent of $21,000 or more. - Mr. Holton has never been authoratively ac cused of being short any funds, but when he goes«further and states that not a dollar of the school funds was ever transferred for other pur poses than school purposes duriug his term of office, we wish to refer him to a financial audit - of the couuty funds for the past three years made by Todd and McCiil lough, March 1 , 1923. This audit was made of tlje finances of the county, up to December 4 , 1922 and made by the same people who audited the books for the former Board at the expiration of their term of office, December 4 ,-1922. You will find this portion of Jhe audit at another place in the paper. Please note this statement ,and you will find the school funds short $ i5.5 3i -97 for 1 922; $4 ,592.82 for 1921; and $795 51 for 1920, making -a total of $20,920:12 the school funds were short at this time, Dec. 4, 1922.' This simply shows the money had either never been credit ed to the school funds or it had been transferred to other purposes. If Mr. Holtou has not been crediting this money to the school fund, he, or some one plainly violated the law, as the law specifically states ■‘the school money shall be credit ed to the school fund as paid in to: the Tr.-asurer. Mr. Holton also says he was ac cused of s-ealing. county books and tearing stubs from the county, books. We have never accused or circulated the report that he had stolen anything, -but when Mr. Holton was asked to return the' stubs which'had been cut, from the Treasurer’s books they came back It is true they were not torn from the books, but they were “ Cut” from the books.

Mr. ‘Holton may be an honest man and a good citizen, but we leave the explanation as to why stubs were cut from the books to him We hope every citizen of the county will read the financial state ment of the county’s finances of Dec. 4 , 1922. You will note in this tnat the county -had $3 4 6 ,000 outstanding bonds. $20,0 0 0 borrow ed fuuds^ and $5,943.30 outstand ing bills^ making a total indebted ness of $371 $43.30 when the ne ,v Board. of Commissioners took charge. Besides this out of £4 8 ,- . 983 .4 9 the old Board collected of 11922 taxes they had failed to pay I the school funds $15,53 1.79. This • money no doubt had been used for other couuty purposes and. as we understand, to pay up some notes at the Bank Now if this money had been placed-to the school fund as prescribed by law one of' our first acts would not have‘ ,been to bor row ${0 ,0 0 0 to place *jto the credit of the school- fund. - If in adding this $2 0,9 2 0 .1 2 which the school fund was short the total indebted ness of the county would !^ $3 9 2,- 863.42 instead o f $3 7 1 ,9 4 3.3 0. This total amount, of course, in cludes the total amount the school fund was short in the past three years. This article is not to p^ove Mr. Holton crooked, but a statement of Ihe lacts and the financial state rnent is for the purpose of acquaint ing the people of the county with the county’s financial status.

Vessels, Sailing Fro mthe Baha mas, Are Put on the “Suspicious List.” TWO BI6 SHIPS JDOfiED OOT RESULT OF TWO DESTROYER ATTACKS STAGED IN MANEUVERS. Cruisers, Destroyers and Air Craft Of Navy Must Be Increased is Opinion of Naval Experts. Aboard U. S. S. California, Panama Bay.—The necessity for a preponder ance of light cruisers, destroyers and aircraft to protect the battle fleet was strikingly illustrated, in the opinion of naval experts, by the results of two destroyer attacks on the Pacific fleet, which were witnessed by Secretary Denby and a group of senators and representatives. While neither as sault carried any element of surprise, two superdreadnaughts were theore tically put out of action during each phase of the maneuvers. In the first attack 19 destroyers at tached to the “Blue” fleet came over the horizon behind a smoke screen and launched 57 torpedoes, two find ing a m ark on the Idaho, third ship of the “Red” fleet, and one striking the California, flagship of Admiral Eberle’s Pacific fleet. Eighteen sea planes sent out to bomb the destroy ers failed to arrive before the tor pedoes were launched. The battle ships opened simultaneous fire on the destroyers, but officers said the at- ,tacking force was so well protected by the smoke screen that it did not afford much of a target. Iluring the second attack, which was staged without a smoke screen, 19 destroyers again participated. They laid down-a checkerboard of 57 tor pedoes, forcing the “Red” fleet to de ploy from its battle line. Two tor pedoes struck the Tennessee^ second ship in line, while another hit the Idaho, third ship. Officers judged both out of action, the battleships, because of the haze, having difficulty in getting the range of the destroyers. Victims ,of Cyclone Need Homes. Memohis. Teen. — Approximately 1,000 persons are homeless in the tor nado-swept areas of Northwestern Mississippi and' m ust be provided food, and clothing to aid them in rehabili tating themselves, according to estimate made by G. C. Crane and C. E. Lovett, representatives of the Am erican Red Cross, In charge of the relief measures. This estim ate was made after a sur vey of the situation at Savage and several points in the area devastat ed by the storm which swept through half a dozen -counties last Thursday and took a toll of 28 lives. At least 125 families were made homeless in Savage and Tate county alone, Mr. Crane said. Kiations to last a week already had been issued, he stated, a. number of destitute and tents have been erected to afford tem porary shelter. A shipment of 75 ad ditional tents arrived and 150 army cots are -enroute to be distributed in the storm area. An appeal has been issued for clothing and bedding to be distributed through the ,M emphis depot. The Memphis'”chapter of the Red f T9s* will have charge of the assembling of supplies.

COPE SAY OFE RHODE ISUHD COAST New York.—Reports that six more rum laden vessels had left the Baha mas for American waters and that three-schooneys believed to be the ad vance guard of a spring rum fleet from St. Pierre, Miquelon, had drop ped anchor off the Rhode Island coast, added to the worries of prohibition enforcement authorities. R. Q. Morrick, newly appointed zone enforcement chief, met the news with the statem ent that there was nothing he could do .about it. The federal prohibition enforcement office has no fleet to send out to cope with the "sit uation, he said, and was compelled to rely on the coast guard and cus toms service to break it up. Captain Reed, coast guard com mander for the New -York division, said there were three coast guard vessels In his district—which has a coast line of about '200 miles—doing 'occasional” work against the rum runners. He pointed out that the coast guard had other duties to per form. Customs authorities said they had the cutter Lexington on th e. trail of the rum-runners, but' declared she was far from able to cope with the traffic. , The six vessels which customs au thorities wer notified had cleared from the Bahamas with liquor and which have been put officially on the “suspicious list” although they are ostensibly bound for other ports, are: British schooner Lucille M. Smith, ,600 cases; Briitsh schooner Sadie A. Nickles, 1,800 cases; American motor boat Truant, 400 cases; British auxiliary schoooner Inia, 700 cases; American schooner Liberty, 500 cas es; and American auxiliary schooner Esther, 600 cases. ’% * Edward Barnes, assistant solicitor for the customs service, has begun an investigation of the registry of three vessels classed as American. If they are found to be, American regis tered, it was said, they will be seized under Attorney General Daugherty’s ruling that the American ships m ust travel “dry”, throughout .the world, Retail Sales Keep Up Pace. Washington.—AU of the production statements and business records available to the Commerce Depart ment indicate that business in the United States during February was proceeding at the rapid pace noted earlier In the year, according to summary of these issued. Building, manufacturing and railroad freight movement, the department’s state ment said, all continued to reflect the stimulation. ‘Retail sales kept up to January’s mark,” the review 'declared, "in spite of the shorter month, while the trans portation system showed ,signs of overcrowding In the large carloadings and increased shortage of freight cars. The wholesale price index advanc ed one point, and again the decline in coal prices prevented a further rise. Food1 prices, both at wholesale and retail, declined. Increased pros perity is confirmed by the marked de cline in business failures and the con tinued rise in stock prices. L‘In the textile field, the increas; ing rate of cotton consumption reduc ed total stocks of raw coton at the end of February to the lowest point reported at this season of the year since 1914. Wool recipts, with one ex ception, were higher in February than In any month since April, 1921, while silk cosnumption, also with one exception, was the largest since 1919.

Over By Washington.—Al! interests identified with the American, merchant marine were invited by the shipping board to assist in the formulation of a policy which will smake possible “the liqui dation of the government fleet and the taking over by private interests of such routes as show prospects of becoming self-sustaining.” Commissioner Lissner, chairman of the board’s committee on policy, ad dressed identical letters to the Ameri can Steamship Owners’ association, the United States Ship Operators’ as sociation and the council of American ship builders requesting each to have a committee to meet with that of the board in Washington "to present and discuss the views” of their organiza tions. ’ The invitations further requested that each group reply in writing to the following questions which, it was understood, , indicated the 'basis on which the ■ new policy will be con structed: ‘In your opinion could buyers be fOund for shipping board vessels who would give a guarantee to'm aintain these vessels upon a prescribed ser vice if the board in return tor this guarantee expressed willingness to sell tbe ships at less than the world market price for similar tonnage? ‘Over what- period of time do you believe it is prabtlcable to require a guarantee of service? “What in your opinion should be the board’s policy with regard to the sale of good tonnage which is not required for operation upon desirable trade routes, especially as to (a) sale to citizens, (b) sale to aliens? lTo what extent and on what terms can capital be raised upon shipping in today’s financial market and what can be recommended to facilitate the finan cing of purchases from the board?” Washington. — Secretary Hughps flatly rejected an appeal to recognize the Russian soviet government made to him by representatives of the Wo man’s Committee for Recognition of Russia, and; in a formal statement, de clared the "salvation of Russia can not be contrived outside and inject ed.” The statem ent which was made to the delegation in reply to argu ments it advanced touched Russian government trade, finance, economics and various policies- inaugurated by the. soviet affecting international re lations. Mr. Hughes’ discussion *of these subjects did not reveal an r probabil ity of action by the Washington gov ernment, looking to recognition of the soviet, although the hope Was ex pressed that conditions In Russia would change in-a way whic?. would make America's helpfulness avail able to the people of that cour-try. It is his" dominant thought, Mr. Hughes said, to find a ground for helpfulness, recuperation and restoration of peace in Russia. “I know how deeply, interested you are In promoting the cause of peace and I can assure you that 'I am pro foundly. in sympathy with youf de sires and alms. I have done the best that I could in the discharge of toy official responsibilities' to serve" that cause which is. very close to my heart. 'In speaking to the representatives of your general organization last May, I noticed the concern which we felt for the welfare of the people of Rus sia. The evidence of the tost year, as we have become even more intimately acquainted with the great distress in to which they have been plunged, has Intensified that feeling. The constant and dominant thought in our minds is ‘how can we help ,that stricken people?’ “So far as charity is concerned, it has been poured out lavishly. I do not think that any fair-minded person can doubt the heart of the American people and our desire to give relief.

AIlAn Dnim CHAPTER II—Continued. —2— "Tore dad?” he asked, kneeling by the girl. “Tes.” She stood up, slight and straight, with limbs and body just curving Into womanhood. “The hawsses was tuckered out,” she-said, "or Dad c’ud have made it. They didn’t have no strength left, 'thout food or rwater. The d—d road jest slid out from under. Dad made me jump. I figgered he was: goin’ to, but his bad leg must have caught in the brake. We slid over like water slides over a rock. He didn't have a h—1- chance.” As she spoke them the o^ths were merely emphasis. She talked as had her father. Sandy nodded. “Got an ax with the outfit?” he asked. TKjn turning .to Sam a s. the girl went round to the back of the fallen wagon and fumbled about “He Ain’t Gone Yit/' She Announced. through the rear opening of the can vas tilt: “Sian’s alive,liSam. Caught a flirt of the pulse. Have to pry up the wagon. Git that bu’sted end of the tongue.” The girl handed an ax to Sandy mutely, watching them as Sandy pried loose the part of the tongue stjU bolt ed to the wagon, getting it clear of the horses.' “Think you can drag out yore dad by the laigs when we lift the body ©f the wagon?” he asked her. “May not be able to hold it more’n a few seconds. May slip on us, the levers is pritty short." She stooped, taking hold of a Tvrin- kled boot in each hand, back of the heel. A tear splashed down on one of them and she shook the salt water . from her eyes Impatiently as if she Jiad faced tragedy before and knew it must be looked at calmly. The two men adjusted the bowlders they had set for fulerums and shoved down on the stout pieces of ash, their muscles bunching, the veins standing out corded on their arms: The ' wagon-bed- creaked, lifted a little. “Now,” grupted Sandy, “snake him* '’OUt.” The girl tugged, stepping backward, Iier pliant strength equal to the dead drag of the body. Sandy, straining down, saw a white beard appear, stained with bioodT'an aged, seamed face, hollow ‘ at cheek and temple, sparse "of hair, the flesh putty-colored despite its tan. Grit leaped in and licked the quiet features as Sam and Sandy eased down the wagon. “Whisky, Sam.” The girl. sat cross-legged, her fa ther’s head in her lap,- one hand smoothing his forehead while* the other felt under his vest and shirt, above his heart. “He ain’t gone yit,” she announced. The old miner’s teeth were tight clenched, but there were gaps in them through which the whisky Sandy ad ministered trickled. !‘DaddyJ Daddy!” ■*' It might have been the tender agony of the cry to which I'atrick Casar’s dulling brain Tespondedj sending ’the message of bis will along1 the nerves to transmit a final summons. His body twitched, He choked, swallowed, opened gray eyes, filmy with death! brightening with intelligence as he saw his daughter bending oyer him, the face of Sandy above her shoulder. The gray eyes interrogated Sandy’s long and earnestly until the light be gan to f6 de .out of them and the wrinkled: lids shuttered down. Another swallow of the raw.spirits and they opened flutteringly again. The Ups moved soundlessly! Then, while one hand groped waveringly to rest upon his. daughter’s 1 w''v. bending low. caught three r>ted over, and over, des- perately, mere ghosts of words, taxing cruelly the la 6t breath of the wheezing lungs beneath the battered ribs, the final sport of the spirit. “Molly—mines!” •TH look out for that, pardner,” said Sandy. The eyelids fluttered, the old hands ^fell away, the Jaw relaxed, serenity came to the lined face, and no little dignity. For the first time the girl gave way, lying prone, sobbing out her grief while the two cowmen looked aside. The bay horse began to groan and writhe. . “Got to kill that cavallo,” said Sam in a whisper. “Walt a minute.” Tlie girl had qui eted, was kneeling with clasped hands, lips moving silently. Prayer, such as it was, over, she rose, her fists tight closed, striving to control her quiver ing chin—doing it. “We'got to bury him, ’count of them d—n buzzards.” “We’ll tend to that,” said Sandy. “Ef yoii-all ’11 take the dawg on up. to the, hawsses ...” “No I I helped to bury Jim Clancy, out in the desert; I’m goin’ to help bury Dad. It’s goin’ to be lonesome out here—” She twisted her mouth’, setting teeth into the lower lip sharp ly as'she g$zed at the desolate cliffs, the birds swinging their tireless, ex pectant circles in the throat of the gorge; “See here, miss,” said Sandy, while Sam crawled into the wagon in search of the dead miner’s pick and shovel that now, instead of uncovering riches, would dig his grave, “Sow old air you?” “Fifteen. My name’s Margaret— Molly for short—same as my Ma. She’s been dead twelve years.” “Well, Miss Molly, suppose you-all come on to the Three Star fo’ a spell with my two pardners- an’ me? Xou do that an’ mebbe we can fix things up and arrange about yore daddy. We’ll come back an’ git him an’ -we'll make 4 place fo' him under our big cottonwoods below the big spring.” Molly Casey gazed at him with such a sudden glow of gratitude in her eyes that Sandy felt embarrassed. He had been comforting a girl, a boy ish girl, and here a woman looked at him, with understanding. “Yo’re sure a white man,” she said. Tll git even with you some time if I work the bones of my fingers through the flesh fo’ you. Thanks don’t amount to a d—a ’thout somethin’ back of ’em. I’ll come through.” She put out her roughened little hand, man-fashion, and Sandy took it as Sam emerged from the wagon with the tools. The bay mare groaned and gave a shrill cry, horribly human. Sam drew his gun, puftlng down pick and shovel. Sandy picked up the tools and moved toward Sam as the bay collapsed to the merciful bullet. The girl washed away , as best she could the stains of blood and travel from the dead face while Sandy sounded with the pick for soil deep enough for a temporary grave. The body would have to lie on the ledge overnight, nothing but burial could save it from marauding coyotes, though the wagon might have baffled the buzzards. The two set to work digging a shallow trench down to bed-' rock, rolling up loose bowlders for a cairn. Lizards flirted in and out of the crevices as the miner was laid in his temporary grave, the girl dry eyed again. She had brought a little, workbox from the wagon, of mahogany stud ded with disks"^of pearl In brass mountings. Out of this she produced a handkerchief of soft China silk bro cade, its white turned yellow with age. This she spread over her father’s fea tures, showing strangely. distinct in the failing light. ' "# “I don’t want the dirt- pressin’ on his face,” she said. Prom the dead man’s clothes Sandy and Sam had taken the; few personal belongings, from the inner 'pocket of the vest some papers that Sandy knew for location claims. ^ “Want -to_ take some duds erlong to the ranch?” he asked Molly. “We can bring In the rest of the sttift later. Got to shack erlong, it’s glttin’ dark; Brought an extry hawss with us. Can you ride?” “Some. I ain't had much chance.” “Don’t know how the mare’ll stand yore skirt. If she won’t Pinto’ll pack you.” ■TH fix that.’’ She clambered into the wagon. Before she came out with her bundle they piled the cairn, a mask of broken rim-rock heavy enough to foil the scratching of the coyotes. : It looked to Sandy as if the girl had changed into a boy. The slender fig ure, silhouetted against the after glow, softly pulsing masses of fiery cloud above the top of the mesa, was dressed in jean overalls, a wide- rlmmed hat hiding .length of hair. “I reckon I can fool that hawss of yores now,’1 she said. “I gen’ally dress thisaway ’cept when we expect to go nigh, the settlements or a ranch where we aim to visit.” The. gray mare made no bother and soon they were riding down toward the strip of Bad lands. Sandy let the collfe qo afoot for the time. . It was close to-midnlght when tbey reached the home ranch, riding past (th^outbuildlngs, the bunkhouse of the men where a light twinkled, the cook shack, the corrals, up to the main house. There they alighted. Sandy lifted Molly from the saddle and carried her up the steps, across the porch, kicking open the door of' the living room where the embers of a ‘ fire glowed. There was no other light in the big room, but there was sufficient to show the great form of Mormon, stowed away In a chair, asleep and snoring. Sam struck a match and Ut a lamp. He struck Mormon mightily between his shoulders. “Gawd!” gasped the heavyweight partner. “I been asleep. But- there’s a kittle of hot water, Sandy.. Where’s the—what In time are'yon totln’?. A gel or a boy?” “This Is Miss Molly Casey,” said Sandy gravely, setting down the girl. “Miss Casey, this is Mr. Peters. Mor mon, Miss Molly is goin’ to tie up to the Three Star for a bit.” Mormon, a little sheepish at the sud denly developing age of the girl as she shook hands with him, recovered him self and beamed at her. “Yo’re sure welcome,” he said. “Boss hired you? Cowgirl or cook?” Sandy noticed the girl’s lip quiver and he slipped an arm about her shoulders. He was not womartshy with this girl who needed help, and who seemed a boy. “Don’t you take no notice of him an’ his klddin’,” he said. ■ “We’ll make him rustle some grub fo’ all of us an’ then we-all ’11 turn in. I’ll show you yore room. Up the stairs an’ the last door on the right. Here’s some matches. There’s a lamp on the bu reau up there. Give you a call when supper’s ready.” He led her to the door and gave her a friendly little shove, guessing that she wanted to be alone “The kid’s lost her father, lost most everything 'cept her dawg,” he said to Mormon. “Thought we might adopt her, sort of, then I thought mebbe we'd hire her—for mascot.” “Lost her daddy? An* me hornin’ in an’ tryin’ to kid her! I ain’t got the sense of a drowned gopher, some times,” said Mormon contritely. “She’s game, plumb through, ain’t she, Sam? Stands right up to trouble?” “You* bet. Mormon, open' up a can of greengages, will ye? I reckon she's got a sweet tooth, same as me.” Molly Casey was not through stand ing up to trouble. They coaxed her to eat and she managed to make a meal that satisfied them. Then she got up to go to her room, with Grit nuzzling close to her, her fingers in his ruff, twisting nervously at the strands of hair. “Do you reckon,’’ she asked the three partners, “that Dad knows he fooled me when he told me to jump? If I’d known he c’udn’t git clear I ’d have stuck—same' as he would if I was caught. Do you reckon he knows that—now?” “I’d be surprised if he didn’t,” said Sandy gravely. “You did what he wanted, anyway.” She looked at them gravely and went out. “Botherin’ about playin’ square in jumpin’,” said Sandy. V T hat. gel is square on all twelve eidges.”* “How’d you come to know so much about gels?” asked Mormori. “Me? I don’t know the first thing about ’em,” protested Sandy. / “No more’n any man,” ,put in.Sam. “ ’Cept it’s Mormon. He’s sure had the experience,” “Experience,” said Mormon, with' a yawn, *<may teach a man somethin’ ( nothin’ different AJl *he needs Is chance.” - • ‘‘What’s the-idee In pickin’ on m e r asked Mormon aggrievedly. “She’s as welcome a s—grass in spring. They ain’t no one got a bigger heart than me fo' kids.” “No one got a bigger heart, mebbe, said Sam caustically. "Nor none a smaller brain. All engine an’ no gaso line In the tank!” “She’s an orphan,” went on Sandy. “She ain’t got a cent that IJm ow of.

Never jee -N ■ CHAPTER III Molly. Molly came down next morning In the faded blue gingham. Sandy marked how worn it was and marked an item In his mind—clothes. He smiled at her with the sudden show ing of his: sound white teeth that made many friends. She was much too young, too frank, too like a boy to affect him with any of his woman- shyness. Molly had a snubhy nose, a wide mouth, Irish eyes of blue that were far apart'and crystal clear, freckles and a lot of brown hair that shfe wore In a long braid wound twice about her well-shaped head. She was a combi; nation of curves and angles, of well- rounded neck and arms and legs with collar-bones and hips over-apparent. Immature but not awkward. Grit, entering with her, divided his attentions among the men, shoving a moist nose at last Into Sandy’s palm and lying down obedient, his tail thumping amicably. “Fo’ a sheepdawg,” said Mormon, “he sure shapes fine.” Molly's eyes flashed. “He don’t know he’s a sheepdawg,” she protest ed. “He’s never even seen one, ’less it was a mountain sheep, ’way np against the skyline. Don’t you. like him?” “I like him fine,” -Mormon answered hurriedly. “Fine!” “Ef you-all didn’t, we cu’d shack on somewheres. I cu’d git work down to the settlemints, I reckon. I don’t aim to put you out any. I’ve been thinkin’ erbout that. ’Less you should happen to want a woman to run the house. I don’t know much about housekeepin’, but I cu’d l’arn. It’s a woman’s job, chasin’ dirt. I can cook—some. Dad used to say my” camp-bread an’ biscuits was fine. I cu’d earn what I eat, I reckon. An’ what Grit u'd eat." We don’t aim to stay unless we pay—someway.” There was a touch of fire to her independence, a chip on the shoulder of her pride the three partners rec ognized and respected. “See here, Molly Casey”—Sandy used exactly the same tone and man ner he would have taken with a boy— ‘,‘that's yore way of lookin’ at it. Then there’s our side. You figger yore dad was a pritty good miner, I reckon? The last two words he says was ‘Molly’ and ‘mines.’ I give him my word then and there, like he would have to me, to watch out for yore interests. My word is my pardners' word. I’m willin’ to gamble those claims of his’ll pan ■ out some day. Until they do, ef you-all ’11 stay on at the Three Star, stop Mormon stompin’ in from the corral with dirty boots, ride herd on Sam an’ me the same way, mebbe cook us up some of them biscuits once in a while, why, it’ll be fine! Then there’s yore schoolin’. Yore dad 'ud wish you to have that. I don’t suppose you’ve had a heap. An you sabe, Molly, that you swear mo’ often than a gel'usually swears.” She opened her eyes wide. • “But I' don’t cuss when I say ’em. An’ I don’t use ' the worst ones. Dad wu’dn’t let me. I can read an’ write, spell an’ cipher some. But Dad need ed me more’n I needed learnin;’ ” “But you got to have i f ’’ said Mor mon earnestly. “S’pose them claims pan .out way rich and you git all-fired wealthy? Bein’ a gel, you- sabe clothes, di’monds, silks, satins an’ feather fuss. You’ll want to leurii the pianner. You’ll want to know what to git>an’ how to wear it.” i “If you did^ that—took my Daddy’s place,” she Said, “why, we'd be pard ners, same as him an’ me was. When the claims pan out, half of it’ll have to be yores. I won’t stay no otbfer way." The glances of the three partners exchanged a conclusion, a mutual an- proval, 1 “That goes,” said Sandy, puttlna out his hand. “Fo’ all three of us When the mines are payin’ dividends we- split, half on ’count of the Three Star, half to you. Providin’ you fall In line with the eddicatlon, so’s to do yore dad yo’se’f an’ us, yore pardners, due credit when the money starts cornin’ In.

J. w.\ Baby Woke Up Crying With Pain at Night ‘Washington.—A gjoposal that Euro pean business men work out a plan for reparations settlement, based on American financial co-operation, was laid before the delegates to the second meeting of the International Chamber .of Commerce in Rome by Fred L. Kent, vice president of the Bankers’ Trust Company, of New Yorkj and a mem ber of the American delegation. Coupled with the proposal was the assertion by Mr. Kent that there was “a great waiting group” In the United States ready to sttpport such a move before the American public. A summary of Mr. Kent’s address, made public here by the American section of the International Chamber, contained the suggestion that a por tion of allied indebtedness to the Unit ed States might be exchangeable for “positive . agreements" between the Allies and Germany on reparations' that “included the amount and meth ods and times of payment and that can and will be lived up to.” As to the next step, he added: “A loan to Germany of sufficient size to restore her economic situation on a sound basis and enable her to make progress toward paying repara tions, and which came ahead of repa rations," with a stabilized Europe, would be absolutely good, and if at the request for the Venefit of the Euro pean allied countries, it could un doubtedly be placed in the United States.” The American banker urged that his European, colleagues begin work immediately. / ‘If the suggestion of a' plan already outlined seems to have within its powers for good,” he said, “study it, develop it and m ake'it work for the world. If it does not, get to gether a small body of able men and no one that /does. Set these men to work with instructions to deliver and deliver promptly, place upon them /a great responsibility. ' - “If you do this, we in America-will, deliver the completed 'message of these men to a great waiting group of the United States who, if they believe in it, will carry it-to the utterm ost parts of the country.” The speaker declared emphatically the "no loan could be m ade to Ger many in which the United States had a part that did not come ahead of rep arations.” And such a loan could be made only if the allies desire -it, he said, as their assent was necessary to place it ahead of reparations.' . .

FEED CAUSES TROUBLE Une of Small Individual Pen* Pre vents Other Sheep From Injuring Youhg Animals—Prevent Chill ing In’ Cold Weather.- , (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The lambing season is a busy 'tim e for the shepherd,, as the percentage of lambs saved affects the profitableness of the flock. Extra, work at this period will be well repaid, as a little care given at the right time will result in the saving of many lambs, and even of some of the ewes that would other wise be lost, and'iylll often thus great ly increase the amount of profit from the flock, according to specialists of ..the. United States. Department of Ag riculture. Ewes which have been well cared for and which arrive at this season in good condition, will give Vfery little trouble during lambing. It should be remembered, that only a small amount of grain, approximately one-quarter to one-half pound per head per day, should be'fed. to the ewes just before lambing, as heavy grain feeding at this time will often cause udder trouble. Even in flocks which have received the best of . care, it Iq usually necessary to help some of the ewes deliver their lambs. When assistance is needed’the hands should be thoroughly cleansed and rubbed with oil to prevent infec tion and irritation to the ewe. ' Ewe In Individual Pen. Just before or immediately after she has lambed, each ewe should be placed In a small individual pen. The use of these peos prevents the other sheep from Injuring the lambs and gives the .ewe a much better chance to “mother” her lamb. As soon as the lamb is delivered the shepherd should cleanse the phlegm fronr the lamb’s mouth and nostrils.

In cold weather care Is required to prevent tlie new*!)01'Il lamb from chilling. In case a lamb be comes slightly chilled it may Jisuaily be revived by wrapping in dry cloths or by being placed near a warm fire for a short time. If badly chilled, how ever, it may be necessary to. immerse the lamb for two or three minutes In water which is as hot as the hand can bear, after which it should be wiped as dry aM possible, wrapped in dry/ cloths and placed In a warm room. Lambs which are unable to stand 'and suckle, and those which have been chilled, ihould be helped to se cure a fill of milk as soon as possible.

Tall Grass—Best Plan to Confine Them.f Turkey hens are wont to “steal” their nests In hidden places, such, as a patch of-weeds, tall grass or thick brush and often wander a half mile or more from home before they find lo cations that suit them. To find these stolen nests often proves to be a long and tedious task, the usual method being to follow each turkey hen as she separates from the flock and starts toward her nest, care being taken that slie floes not know she is being fol lowed. A much easier and quicker method Uian this is to ,confine the hens earjy some morning soon H9 U H i i l l i let them out late In the afternoon. Those tliat are laylpg will then head for their nests in order to lay the eggs they have been hol.ding. ; • '• If many turkeys are kept, ..the use of a breeding pen will be found a, great convenience. This' pen - should cover a sufficient area to allow the turkeys some exercise, an acre for fif teen birds'being none too large. A hog-tlght wire fence three feet high withhold most turkeys,' and if any per sist in flying out, the flight feathers of, one Wlpg should, be clipped. Nests should - be scattered about the pen.

I The village of Roosevelt has changed its name back to Pukqo. Not many persons, probably; know where this village is. It is situated In an obscure comer of one of the.Hawaiian islands, and some years ago it had as one of its residents a Dr. E. S. Goodhue, who was anxious that the name of the famous president should never die ont of this section of Ameri can territory. So he got up a petition to the postmaster general at Wash ington, asking that the original name of the village should be altered, as far as the mail was concerned, to Roosevelt. The request, was granted, but the new name bothered the natives ter ribly. They have no “r” or "s" or ”t” in their alphabet, and the nearest Hawaiian equivalent - to Roosevelt turns out to be Lukiweki. Sc they sent a second petition, in which they kated that they were deceived Into signing the first, and asked that the native name of the village be aestored. The petition has been granted.
