One of the features of the recent convention of the “ People Legisla7 tive Service” held in Washington; D, C,, is the condemnation of What is called deflation of the currency,” and a demand-fof “more money for the farmers JPhis is an echo of Greenbabk and’Free Silver days. Every sp often; usually during a period of business decline or depres si.on, the national monetary system is attaCked' and a demand ariseS.for uiore mqnev/in order to raise prices. In the Greenback party era, the demagogues demanded-more money and assailed Wail street for making money scarce and dear, thus depre­ sing prices.. In the free silver era the same, thing was repeated, al though more cheap silver dollars instead of cheap dollars were de­ manded. - -' .[ Another “cheap money” era has appeared,-' This this time not Only Wall street but/the Federal Reser ve system are’assailed. It is said that low prices arid the depression a mong th e . farmers froth 1919 to 1922 was caused' by "deflation.” that is, cutting down-of the amount of money in.circulation; and that the only remedy now is more paper money or more credits. Members of both houses of Con ■ gress have’been-elected recently on the .“deflation” issue and the de­ mand for more - money and credits for/the agriculturalists; , It is ar­ gued that a more liberal policy to­ ward .the farmers.be. adpped.-.TjPut 'liitojeyery’ d ay /an d - guage, this means the government should give unlimited credit to ,the' farmers, leiidifig/.’them money to parry their products, until prices ad­ vance. This.is one of the demands of “ The People’s ,Legislative Ser­ vice,”/aj group,of more or less rad­ ical folks mixed/in with many who are lending their unusual talents to an unsound cause. There is no .principle in econo­ mics and finance/more clearly de ■ moustrated by experience ihan this: Prices are determined, by supply aud demand, audmre disturbed (not determined) .

A quarter of a century ago women suffrage had scarcely been heard of and was not regarded even remotely is a political issue. Occasionally a - school debating society discussed the - jUbject, but those who figured in the discussion of women suffrage did not regard it seriously. However, it should not be presumed that all wo­ men were weak and powerless dur­ ing that period, as the following item, taken from an old file copy of The Home indicates: ’A Georgia man applied for a di- • vorce on the ground that his wife “had whipped him in the presence of ’ company.” The jury granted him a" divorce returning the following1 verdict; ‘In the opinion of ,this here . ja/r£;the-yUve*<^ fense pubiicly whipping the plaintiff .

The Kansas City Star refers to the “old days. of machine politics.” when it was necessay to “sweenten.” the boys who “showed signs of put­ ting on their blankets and war plaint and leaving the party reservation.” By “sweetening” is. of course, mem; “giving him something.” Whythe Star should refer to that practice as being “in the old dave of machine politics” doesn’t appear; for if there ever was a time when “sweetening” in one way or another was the order that time is now. The so called spirit of independence,” referred to by remormers, reaches the respon sible classes, but it is a v onderful aid and help to the fellows who want “sweetening” and must have it if they are to stay on “ the reservation We are making a mighty -war on New.berryism, but just the same Ne.wberryism is going to remain with us in one form.or another until there has been'a mortLriecideri ad­ vance in'the quality and kind of men' and women generally--elevated to places of trust, and power.-^Chatta- nooga Times. .

A NEW YEAR. The year 1922 is a thing of the past. The new year, 1923, is with us, and although only three days old the youngster shows signs of becoming a full-sized fellow before many moons. During the year • that has just come to a close our town, cpunty and state made rapid strides along many lines—hundreds of miles of good roads were built, bigger and better jchools, churches . and hospitals were erected;“many new business houses, factories and mills were erected and manj^ homes, from the lowly cottage to the hund- red thousand dollar bungalow were built in our fair state. The people gave liberally to all wprthy causes during the past year, and the good deeds done by saint and sinner would fill many volumes. But the year 1923 is before us and we should all strive to do a. little better this year than we did during the year 1922. if we made six people a little happier last year on account of a kind deed, why not make t welve happy this year. If we fail­ ed to give enough to worthy causes last year why not contribute more liberally this year. Det us'all help to mike the world a little better by having lived in it. Let’s dwell to­ gether in peace mid unity and try to. say good things about our neigh hors and fellow-citizens, overlook­ ing their faults and praising Their good deeds.

BIG-TYPE HOGS AREFAVORITES Department of Agriculture Gives Brief History and Origin of Various Breeds. LARGER ANIMALS FIND FAVGR Owing to increasing Demand for Cuiwd Hams and Bacon of High .Quality Size of Hog Becomes Mattel* of Importance. ^Prepared bv the United States Department Ot Agriculture.) There is uo “best” breed of swine, but within tMe different breeds the I’blg-type” hog. is now 'finding most favor In nearly all parts o£ the coun­ try, says the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture in a recent'Farm­ ers’ Bulletin, 1263, “Breed of Swine,” by JE. Tl. Bussell. The bulletin, which Is well Illustrated with photographs of specimens of all the leading breeds and of some minor ones, gives a brief history of the origin of all the breeds now found In the United States, de­ scriptions of .their characteristics, and names of the record associations, with names and addresses of the secre­ taries. ' • • Lard and Bacon Types. The usual, classification under lard and bacon types Is given. The breeds Included under the first are the Duroc-Jersey, Poland China, Chester Teethina Ends Babies9 Colds In a Twinkling Mothers all over the South are fast learning that Teethina, the wonderful prescription of a famous physician,.is the best remedy on earth for breaking up a baby’s cold almost overnight. Thousands are testifying that Teeth­ ina stopped their children’s colds while they slept and scores of others say whenever their baby starts sneez; ing or the nose begins running, they just give them Teethina and thatis the end of the cold. Too much stress cannot be -Itdd upon the necessity of breaking up a child’s cold before It gets a hold and thereby preventing serious troubles', such as bronchitis, tonsitltis, the ter­ rible mastoiditis and many other dan­ gerous troubles of children. Wise mothers know this ana always keep Teethina on band, Your druggist sells it or the Mof­ fett Laboratories, Columbus, Ga., will send you a regular size package and a valuable booklet on the care of the Baby, If you will send them 30c.— Advertisement. ■___ Criminal Negligence.

The minor breeds given a place In the bulletin are the Mule-Foot, Large Black, Kentucky Bed Berkshire, Cheshire, Essex- and Victoria. Most Profitable Hog. The big-type animals, says the au­ thor, are found In all breeds, but are more numerous In some breeds than In others. Owing to an increasing de­ mand ,for cnred hams and bacon of high quality, the type of hog becomes a matter of muoh importance. Hams weighing from 12 to 16 pounds are more likely to cure with high quality and flavor than lighter or heavier pieces. Neither hams nor bacon should- carry excessive quantities of fat, but should be “well marbled.” The opportunity for producing meat of this character Is greater ijn the quickly grown big-type hog than In the distinctly small type. The most profitable hog Is the one that can be grown to the required market weight In the shortest time. .Well-bred and well-fed animals of the right type .will make the market' weight In from 'seven to ten months. The best mar­ ket weight is generally "from 175 to 225 pounds. Copies of the bulletin may be ob­ tained free by addressing the depart­ ment at Washington, D. C. Many Investigations of-Subject. Have Been Made by Department of Agriculture—Shows a Decid­ ed -Lack of Uniformity. <Prepor*4 by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Peat, In recent years widely adver­ tised as a fertilizer Is not to be com­ pared with stable manure or with min­ eral fertilizers ps a means of in­ creasing crop production. This Is the essence of a statement that lias just been made by the United States De­ partment of Agriculture as a result of many investigations on the subject. Special processes, such as the “bac- terizatlon’’ of peat, occasionally . are alleged to give it unusual fertilizing powers but testB have not substan­ tiated these claims. Au English In­ vestigator a few years ago reported good results with the use of “bacter- Ized" peat, but experience In this coun­ try has not supported his theory. No laboratory process for the Vbacieriza- tion" of peat has been 'discovered .which materially Improves it for fer­ tilizer. The peat or “humus” that has been marketed in this country as a fertilizer Pr plant stimulant has shown a de­ cided lack bf uniformity, but this Is to be' expected when it is known that peat ■ deposits are the slow, accumula­ tion of layers of plant material of dif­ ferent kinds. The rather high per­ centage of nitrogen occasionally found In peat and muck Is due not to the presence of available nitrogen, but the accumulation of nitrogenous material that Is not available for the use of plants, the more Soluble substances having been lost. Some kinds of peat are* very usefu' for stable lifter and for composting. While peat is too bulky and too. poor In available plant food to serve as u substitute for manure or mineral fer­ tilizers, certain kinds of peat appear to be suitable In the growing of spe­ cialized crops or as potting soil In greenhouses. In the manufacture o£ mixed fertilizers the use of peat as u conditioner, as well as a filler, appears' to have been satisfactory to the mix­ er. Several varieties of peat and muck soil are farmed, frequently showing high productivity for many kinds of truck crops or as grass land. Many peat deposits, however, are agricul­ turally unsatisfactory and some, peats contain substances distinctly Injurious to plants. HOG HOUSE FROM OLD BARN Necessary Sunlight Admitted by ln- . genious Arrangemont of Largd Windows In Walls. Ordinarily It Is not considered good practice to house swine In a'barn, because of the difilculty of getting the large amount of light which is necessary for the welfare of the ani­ mals. An Ingenious arrangement which overcomes this difficulty Is shown In the Illustration. .The barn Is of the basement type with masonry walls. A section of ten feet wide along the south side of the basement is set off by partition and divided up Into pens.

Building of a home-made silage cart to. be used In distributing silage In the feed lot will save considerable time and labor. Some men at Iowa State college have planned a cart which can be made from an old pair of cultivator wheels fitted on a gas pipe axle on which a heavy packing box has been mounted. By measuring your silage Chute the cart can' be made to run under the chute and filled directly from the sllo/' Grain can also be distributed by means of the same cart and consider­ able lifting of heavy materials can be avoided ' in the feeding operations through Its use.

I was visiting friends with whom I was not well acquainted, writes a cor­ respondent of the Chicago Tribune. They insisted upon my staying over­ night. I had an important engage -1 tr.ent for the' following evening and wanted to look my best, so I really was anxious to get away; but upon thinking it ,over I finally consented to- stay. , That being settled, we went down town to pass the evening, and while two of the girls were In the middle of w’hat ought to have been an interest­ ing conversation to me I, thinking of all I had to do before the following evening and not having concentrated on what they were saying, blurted out: "What tirafe does the first train leave in the morning?" - . They both looked at me In great surprise, naturally thinking I wals ex­ tremely anxious to get away from the •town and them,' too. In view of our short acquaintance, words failed me, and try as I would I could not make them understand. Gardener Seemingly Made Point in Dis­ cussion With the Soap Box Sage. Tlie gardener was trimming the front hedge and the soap box sage paused to converse with his acquaint­ ance wielding the shears. The orator soon had his favorite theme going. The gardener was something of a phi­ losopher himself and ventured to pnt a question. “Then you think humanity should be kept trimmed to a dead level like this hedge?” “Put It that way If you wish,”, said the orator. The gardener pointed to. the side of the yard. “All, but I trimmed that hedge only last week. Now look at It. - So far as we can see every branch had the same opportunity. Yet some are higher than the , rest. You .eaji’t keep ’em down, friend, you canT 1 keep "’em down.”— Chicago Daily News. Interpreter Needed. The petted youngster had been ill and the anxious mother vainly sought to tempt her appetite with delicacies previously forbidden. "Isn’t there anything you want, dear?” “Yes; but I forgot the name. It’s not round-and it had a rough skin, with a lot of green tails, and it’s awful good. Don’t you know?” The anxious mother ,was greatly puzzled, but old mammy came to the rescue. “It’s pineapple,' ma’am.” Serious trouble might be avoided manj^ttntes if the second thought were to come before the first.

TELLS OF GOOD RAT POISON Department of Agriculture Recom- mepds 20 P#r Cent Mixture With Food as Bait. Studies of barium carbonate as a rat poison made by the United States Department of AiTiculture indicate that a 20 per cent mixture with food makes a satisfactory bait. With this percentage rats ordinarily, need to'eat only about one-third to three-eighths of a meal to get a fatal dose. ‘ Experiments by various persons! to the deadliness of barium carbon to pther , animals shows untrue common belief that* this materia' poisonous only to rats an'd indie that a bait which will, be fatal to Is more -or less, dangerous to small i mestle animals also.

I f S M L E GQNFEflENGE It is Reported That G?r;nan Chancel­ lor Has Definite rr-posal For FoursPower Fact.' Paris. — Persistent reports that the United States would participate in some form in the coming conference of the inter-allied prem.-.rs were defi­ nitely eliminated upon tie receipt o£ the news that the United States gov­ ernment would ,take no part in the meeting. Unofficial but authoritative information reached Paris that the American administration regards the forthcoming premiers’ meeting as a purely. European affair and ( as not warranting intervention'by the United States. Although it is not believed the state ^epratment at Washington has made any statement on the matter, inter­ ested governments on inquiring in re­ sponsible American sources were in­ formed that there did not ‘seem to be the slightest chance of American par­ ticipation. There was some sugges­ tion, however, that the breaking up of the conference and the probability that this would certainly be followed by French seizures in Germany might provoke some eleventh hour step by the United States. Reports that Wilhelm Cuno, the German chancellor, intends to startle the premiers’ conference with definite proposals for a four-power pact which would guarantee the security of France and the present Franco-Ger man frontiers, reached reparations circles and created considerable com­ ment. This pact, according to the re­ ports; would' extend over a period of 30 years. It would be signed by Great Britain, Italy, France and Germany. The United States also would be asked to sign, but without assuming any mil­ itary obligations. French officials are said to have' al­ ready received an outline of the scheme from unofficial sources and there is believed to be little enthus­ iasm for it, since it is supposed to contain a clause giving any country the right to withdraw within the 30- year period, provided a referendum decides to this effect. Another feature of the reported pact would be the with­ drawal within a short time of the troops of occupation. This, it is as­ serted. would find ’ no support in France. Germany is keeping her new pro­ posals much in the dark, so far as the reparations commission is concerned. The commission has learned, however, that among Chancellor Cuno’s pro­ posals will be one to pay a lump sum, somewhere between five billion and eight billion gold marks, one billion to be' paid at once and the remainder over a period of ten years. This would be accompanied by a certain form of allied financial control sufficient to insure the balancing of Germany’s budget and the stabilization Cf the mark. Good Business During Month. Washington. — November business conditions represented a continuation of the upward trend in production, a greater employment of labor, which in some localities was reported nearing ‘.he scarcity mark, according to the nonthly survey made public by • the Federal Reserve Board. Contrary to the usual situation at this season of the year, the board found production in basic industries increasing, a condition that has pro­ ceeded almost uninterruptedly since July, 1921 when production was lower than at any time in recent years. This condition the board believed augured well.

Washington. —r President Hardina asked the senate not to adopt Senator Borah’s proposal for a new interna­ tional economic conference, saying In a letter to Republican Leader Lodge that formal. congressional action on the subject now would embarrass him in the negotiations he already is con­ ducting looking to such a conference. The President’s letter ''was sent to Senator Lodge for presentation dur­ ing the senate’s second day’s debate on the Borah proposal which is embod­ ied in an amendment to the naval'ap­ propriation bill.

United States differentiate between the seven and a half billion dollars loaned to European countries before the armis­ tice and the”two and a half billion dol­ lars loaned after hostilities ceased and j arrange differing methods of repay­ ment, but pointed out that the act of Congress creating the commission would not permit such differentiation even if considered advisable. Members of Congress generally ex­ pressed decided opposition to the New York banker’s suggestion that at least a, portion of the debt be cancelled, several leaders in both the senate and house declaring that the American people were in no mood to approve any such action. The views of Mr. Kahn, as present­ ed in a letter to Senator Smoot of Utah, a member of the debt-funding commission, drew particular fire from Representative Frear, of Wisconsin, a republican member of the house ways and means committee, who ad­ dressed a letter to Senator Smoot, as­ serting that “the commission should apprise foreign governments at an early day of the anomalous position occupied by Mr. Kahn and that he does not speak for the commission, for the Congress or for the American people.” White House and had reported on the progress made in the determined fight already being waged against the Bo­ rah amendment by administration leaders in the senate.

STN O PSIS--A t the death of Dla foster father, Bruce Duncan, In an eastern city, receives a m ysterious message, sent by a M rs. Ross, sum* m onlng him perem ptorily to south­ ern Oregon—to m eet "D lnda." Bruce has vivid but baffling recol­ lections of bis childhood In an or­ phanage, before bis adoption by Netvton Duncan, w ith, the girl Lin­ da. A t hts destination. T rail's End, news th a t a m essage has been sent to Bruce is received w ith m arked displeasure by a m an Introduced to the reader as "Simon.” Leaving the train, Bruce is astonished a t his apparent fam iliarity w ith the surroundings, though to his knowl­ edge he has never been there. Obedient to the m essage, Bruce m akes his w ay to M artin's -cross­ roads store, for direction as to reaching M ra Ross' cabin. On the w ay, "Simon” sternly w arns him to . give up his quest and return E a s t . Bruce refuses. Mrs. Ross, aged:-and Infirm, welcomes' him w ith emotion. She hastens him on his way—the end of "Pine-N eedle Trail:” CHAPTER VIII—Continued. Be examined the inud about the spring, and there was plpnty of evi­ dence that the forest creatures had passed that way. Here was a little triangle where a buck had stepped, and further away he found two pairs of deer tracks—evidently those of a doe with fawn. A wolf had stopped to cool his heated tongue in the wa­ ters, possibly In the middle of some terrible hunt In the twilight hours. Then he found a huge abrasion in the mud that puzzled him still more. At the first he couldn’t believe that it was a track. The reason was sim­ ply that the size of the thing was in­ credible—as if some one had laid a flour sack In the mud and taken it up again. - He did not think of any of the' modern-day forest creatures as being of such proportions. It was very stale and had been almost oblit­ erated by many days of sun. Perhaps he bad been mistaken in thinking It an imprint of a living creature. He went to his knees to examine It. But in one instant he knew that he had not been mistaken. It was a track not greatly different from that of an enormous human foot; and the separate toes were entirely distinct. It was a bear track, of course, but one of such size that the general run of little black bears that inhabited the’ hills could almost use it for a den of hibernation! He got up and went on—farther toward Trail’s End. He walked more swiftly now;. for he hoped to reach the end. of Pine-Needle Trail before nightfall, but he had no intention of halting .in case night-came upon him before he reached it. He had waited too long already to find Linda. Another hour ended the day’s sun­ light. The shadows fell quickly, but It was a long time yet until darkness. He yet might make the truil-end. He gave no thought to fatigue. 'In the first place, he had,, stood up remark- , ably well under the day’s tramp for no other reason than that he had al­ ways made a point of keeping In the best of physical condition. Besides, there was something more potent than mere physical' strength to sustain him now. It was the realization of the nearing end of the trail—a knowl­ edge of tremendous revelations that would come to him in a few hours- more. Already great truths were taking . shape In his brain; he only needed a single sentence of explanation to con­ nect them all together. He began to feel a growing excitement and im­patience. It was quite dark now, and he could barely see the trail. For the first time he began tp despair, feeling that another night of overpowering impatience must be spent before he could reach Trail’s End. The stars began to push through the darkening sky. Then, fainter than the gleam of a firefly, he saw the faint light of a far distant camp fire. His heart bounded. • He knew what was there. It was the end of the trail at last Ahd it guided him the rest of the way. When he reached the top of a little rise in the trail, the whole scene was laid out in mystery below him. The fire bad been built at the door of a mountain house—a log structure of perhaps four rooms. The firelight played In Its open doorway.' Some­ thing beside it cauglK his attention, and instinctively he followed It with his eyes until it ended in an incred­ ible region of the'stars. It was a great pine tree, the largest he had ever seen—seemingly a great sentinel over all the land. - But the* sudden awe that came over him at the sight of It was cut short by the sight of a girl’s figure In the firelight. He had an. instant's sense that he had come to the wilderness’ heart nt last, that this tall tree was its symbol, that if he could under­ stand the eternal watch that it kept over this mountain world, he would have an Understanding of all things— but all these thoughts were submerged In the realization, that he had come back to Linda at last. He had known how the mountains would seem. AU that he Imd beheld -today was just the recurrence of ,.things beheld long ago. Nothing hud seemed different from what he had expected; rather lie had a sense that « lost world had been returned to.him. and It was almost as If he bad never beets away. But the girl In the fire- By EDISON MARSHALL A uthor of “The Voice of theTPack-* light did not answer in the least de­ gree the picture he bad carried of Linda. , He remembered her as a blond­ headed little girl with irregular fea­ tures and a rather unreasonable al­ lowance of homeliness. AU the way he had thongbt of her as a baby sis­ ter—not as a woman In her flower. For a long second he gazed at her in speechless amazement. Her hair Was no longer blond. True, it .had peculiar red lights when the firelight shone through it; but he knew by the light of day it would be deep brown. He remembered her as an awkward little thing that was hardly able to keep her feet under her. This tall girl had the wilderness grace—which Is the grace of a deer and only blind eyes cannot see It He dimly knew'that she wore a khaki- colored skirt and a simple blouse of white tied with a blue scarf. Her arms were bare in the fire’s gleam. And there was a dark beauty about her face that simply could not be denied. She came toward him, and her hands were open before her. And her lips trembled.. Bruce could see them in the firelight. , It was a strange meeting. ‘ The fire­ light gave it a tone of unreality, and the whole forest world seemed to pause in its whispered business as if to watch. It was as if they had been brought face to face by the mandates of an inexorable destiny. “So you’ve come?” the girl said. The words were spoken unusually soft, scarcely above a whisper; .but they were Inexpressibly vivid to Bruce. They told first of a boundless relief and joy at his coming. But more than that, In these deep vibrant tones was the expression of an un­ quenchable life and spirit. Every fiber of the body lived in the fullest sense; he knew this fact the instant that she spoke. She- smiled at him, ever so quietly. ‘Bwovaboo," she said, recalling 'the name tiy which she called him in her babyhood, “you’ve come to Linda.” CHAPTER IX As the fire burned down to coals and the stars wheeled through the sky, Linda told her story. The two of them were seated In the soft grass In front of the cabin, and the moon­ light was on Linda’s face as she talked. - She talked -very: low.; at first. Indeed there Was no need for loud tones.- The whole wilderness world was heavy with silence, and a whis­ per carried'far. Besides, Bruce was just beside her, watching her with narrowed eyes, forgetful of every­ thing except her story. * ‘I’ve waited a long time to tell you this,’,’ she told him. “Of course, when we were babies together In the or­ phanage, I didn’t even know it. It has taken me a long time since to learn all the details; most of them I got from my aunt, old Elmira, whom you talked to on. the way out. Part of It I knew by intuition, and a little of It is still doubtful. “You ought to know first how hard I have tried to reach you. Of course, Iv didn’t try openly except at first— the first years after I came here, and before I was old enough to under­ stand.” She spoke the last word with a curious depth of feeling and a per­ ceptible hardness about her lips and eyes. “I remembered just two things. That the man who had adopted you was Newton Duncan; one of the nurses at the asylum told me that. And I remembered the name of the city where he had taken you. “You must understand the difficul­ ties I worked under. There is no rural free delivery up here, you know, Bruce. Our mail is sent from and delivered to the little post office at Martin’s store —over fifteen miles from here. And some one member of a certain family that lives near here goes down every week to get the mail for the entire, district. “At first—and that was before I really understood—I wrote you • many letters and gave them to one of this family to mail for me. I was just a child then, you must know,' and I lived In the same house with these people. They were just baby let­ ters from—from Llnda-Tinda to Bwoy- aboo-—letters about the deer and the berries and the squirrels—and all the wild things that lived up here.” “Berries!” Bruce cried. “I had some ..on the way up.” His -tone wavered! and he seemed to be speaking far away. “I had some once—long ago :!1 “Yes. Tou wifi understand, soon. I' didn't understand why you didn’t answer my letters. I understand now, though. You never got them!'” "No. I never got them. But there are several Duncans In my city. They might have gone astray.” “They went astray—but it was be­ fore they ever reached the post office. They • were never mailed. Bruce. I was to know why, later. Even then it was part of the plan that I should, never get- in communication ,with you again—that you would be lost to me forever. “When I got older, I tried other tacks. I wrote to the asylum,' enclos­ ing a letter to you. ' But those letters were not mailed, either. “Now we can ,skip a long time; I grew up. I knew everything at last and no longer lived with the. family I mentioned before. I came here, to this old house—and made , it decent' to live in. I cut my own wood for my fuel except when one of the men tried to please me by cutting it for me. I wouldn’t use it at first Ob, Bruce—I wouldn't touch It!” Her face was no longer lovely. It was, drawn with terrible passions. But she quieted at once. “At last I saw plainly that I was a little fool—that all they would do for me, Jhe better off I was. At first, I almost starved to death because I wouldn’t use the food that they sent me. I tried to grub it out of the hills.. But I came to it at last. But, Bruce, there were many things I didn’t come to. Since I learned the truth, I have never given one of them a smile ex­ cept In scorn, not a word that wasn’t a word of hate. “You are a city man, Brace. You don’t know what hate means. It doesn’t live In the cities. But it lives up here. Believe me, if you ever be­ lieved anything—that It lives up here. The most bitter and the blackest hate —from birth until death! It burns out the heart, Bruce. But I don’t know that I can make you under­ stand.’’ v She paused, and Bruce looked away into the pine forest. He believed the girl. He knew that this grim land was the home of direct ana primitive emotions. Such things as mercy and remorse were out of place in the game trails where the wolf pack, hunted the deer. . — “When they knew how I hated them,” she went on, “they began to watch me. And once they knew that I had fully understood the situation, I was no longer allowed to leave this little valley. There are only two trails, Bruce. One goes to Elmira’s cabin on the way to the store. The other encircles the mountain. With all their numbers, it was easy to keep watch of those trails. And they told me what they would do if they found me trying to go past.” ‘You don't mean—they threatened you?” She threw back her head and laughed, but the sound had no joy in it. ■ “Threatened! If you think threats are common up here, you are a greener tenderfoot than ever I took you for. Bruce, the law up here is. the law of force. The strongest wins. The weakest dies. Wait till you. see Simon. You'll understand Ihen=^and- you'll shake in your shoes.”’ ' * ” The words grated upon him, yef he didn’t resent them. “I’ve seen Sh mon,” he told her. She glanced toward him quickly, and it was entirely plain that the quiet to’ne In his voice had surprised Perhaps the Faintest Flicker of Ad­ miration Came Into Her Eyes. her. Perhaps the faintest flicker of admiration came into her eyes. “He tried, to stop yon, did he.? Of course he would. And you came, any­ way. May heaven bless you for it, Bruce !” She leaned toward him, ap­ pealing. “And forgive me what I said.” Bruce stared at her in amazement. He could hardly realize that this was the same voice that had been so torn with passion a moment before. In an instant all her hardness was gone, and the tenderness of a sweet and wholesome nature had taken its place. He felt a curious warmth stealing over him. “They meant what they said, Bruce. Believe me, if those men can do no other thing, they can keep thein word- They didn’t Jiist threaten death to me. I could have run the risk of that. Badly as I wanted to make them pay before I died,, I would have gladly run that risk. •. . “You are amazed at the free way I speak of death. The girls you know, in,the,city, don’t even'know the word They don’t know what it means. They don’t understand Hie sudden end of the light—the darkness—the cold— the awful fear that it is I It’s a real­ ity here, something to fight against every hour of every day. There are just three things to do in the moun­ tains—to live and love and hate. There’s no softness. There’s no mid­ dle ground.” She smiled grimly. “I’ve lived with death, and Tve heard of it, and I’ve seen it all my life. If there hadn’t been any other way, I would have seen it in the dra­ mas .of the wild creatures that go on around me all the time. You'll get down to cases here, - Bruce—or else you’ll run away. These men said they’d do worse things to me than kill me—and I didn’t dare take the risk. “But once or twice ,I was able to get Word to old Elmira—Hie only ally I had left. She was of the true breed, Bruce. You’ll cali her a hag, but she’s a woman to be “reckoned with. She could hate too—worse than a she-rattlesnake hates the man that ,killed her mate—and hating’ is all that's kept her alive. You shrink when I say the word, Maybe you won’t shrink when I’m done. “This old woman tried to get in communication with, every stranger that visited the hills. You see, Bruce, she couldn’t write, herself. And the one time I managed to get a written message down to her, telling her to giye it to the first stranger to m ail- one of my enemies got it away from her. I expected to die that night. I wasn’t going to be alive when the clan came. The only reason I didn’t was because Simon—the greatest of them all and the one I hate the most— kept his clan from coming. He had his own leasons. “From then on she had to depend on word of mouth. But at last—just a few weeks ago—she found a man that knew you. And it Is your story from now on.” They were still as little while. Bruce arose and threw more wood on the fire. “It’s only the beginning,” he said. “And you want me to tell you all?” she asked hesitantly. “Of course. Why did I come here?” “You won't believe me when I say that I’m almost sorry I sent for you." She spoke almost breathlessly. “I didn’t know that it would be like this. That yon would come with a smile on your face and .a light in your eyes, looking for happiness. And instead of happiness—to find all this!” - She stretched' out her arms to the forests. Bruce understood her per­ fectly. She did not mean the woods in the literal sense. She meant the primal emotions that were their spirit. “To know the rest, you’ve got to go back a whole generation. Bruee, have you heard of the terrible blood-feuds that the mountain families sometimes have?” ! "Of course. Many times.” “These mountains of Trail’s End have been the scene of as deadly a blood-feud as was ever known in the West. And for once, the wrong was all on one side. “A few miles from here there is a wonderful valley, where a stream flows.* There Is not much tillable land in these mountains, Bruce, but there, along that little stream, there are al­ most five sections—three thousand acres—of as rich land as was ever, plowed. That tract of land’ was ac­ quired long ago by a family named Ross, and they got it through some kind of grant. I can’t be definite as to the legal aspects of all this story. They don’t matter anyway—only the results remain. “These Ross men were frontiersmen of the first order. They were virtuous men too—trusting every one, and oh! what strength they had! AVIth their own hands they cleared away the for­ est and put the land into rich pasture and hay and grain. They raised great herds of. cattle and had flocks of sheen too. ' “It was then that dark days began to come. Another family—headed by the father of the man I call Simon- migrated here from the mountain dis­ tricts of Oklahoma. But they were not so ignorant' as many mountain people, and they were ‘killers.’ Peiv haps that’s a word you don’t know. Perhaps you didn’t know it existed. A killer is a man that has killed other men. It Isn’t a hard thing to do at. all, Bruce, after you are used to it. These people were used to it And- because they wanted these great lands —my own father’s home—they.began to kill the Rosses. '4At first they made no war on the Folgers. The Folgers, you must know, were good people, too, honest to the last penny. They were connected, hy marriage only, to the Ross family. They were on our side clear through. At the beginning of the feud the head ,of the Folger'family was just a young man, newly married. And he had a son- after a while. “Thegnewcomers called it a feud. But it wasn’t a feud—It was simply murder. 'Oh, yes, we killed some of them. Folger and my father and all his kin united against them, making a great clan—but they were- nothing in strength compared to the . usurpers.. Simon himself was just a boy when It .began. But he grew to be the great­ est power, the leader of the enemy clan beforh he was twenty-one. “You must know,. Bruce1Nthat my own father held the land. But he was so generous , that his brothers who helped him farm it hardly realized that possession was In his name, ins father was a dead shot* it took a long time before they could kill him!” The coldness that had come over her words did not in the least hide her depth of feeling. She gazed moodily into the darkness and . spoke almost in a monotone. ■ '4Bnt Simon—just a boy then—and Dave, his brother,, and. the others of them kept after T us like so many wolves? There was no escape. The only thing we could do was to fight back—and that was the Way we learned to hate. - A man can hate, Bruce, when be is fighting for his borne. He can learn it very well when he sees his brother fall dead, or: his father—or a stray bullet hit his wife. A woman can iearn It, too, as old Ei- mira did, when she finds her son’s body In the dead leaves., There was no law here to stop it The little'sem­ blance of law that was In'the valleys below regarded it as a blood-feud, and didn’t bother . Itself about it. Besides— at first we were too proud to call for help. And after our numbers were few, the trails were watched—and those who tried to ,go down into the valleys^-never got there. “One after another the Rosses were killed, and, I needn’t make it any worse, for you than I can help—by telling of each killing. Enough to say that at last no one was-left except a. few old men whose eyes were too dim -to shoot straight, and my own father. And I was a baby then—just born. “Then one night my father—seeing the fate that was coming down upon them—took the last course to defeat them. Matthew Folger—a connection The Girl Was Speaking. Slowly Now, Evidently Watching the Effect of Her Words on Her Listener. by marriage—was still alive Simon’s clan hadn’t attacked him yet He had no share In the land, but instead, lived In this house I live In now. He had a few cattle- and some pasture land farther down the Divide. There ha'd been no purpose In killing him. He hadn’t been worth the extra bullet "One night my father left me asleep and stole through the forests to talk to him. They made an agreement. I have pieced it out, a little at a time. My father deeded all his land to Fol- ger. “I can understand now. The enemy clan pretended It was a blood-feud only—and that It was fair war to kill the Rosses. Although my father knew their real aim was to obtain the land, he didn’t think they would dare kill Matthew FoIger to get It. He knew that he himself, would fall, sooner or later, but he thought that to kill FoI- ger would show their cards—and that would be too much, even for Simon’s people. But he didn’t know. He hadn’t foreseen to what lengths they would go.” Brace leaned forward.' “So they killed—Matthew Folger?” he asked. He didn’t know that his face had gonC suddenly stark white, and that a curious glitter had come to his eyes. He spoke breathlessly. For the name —Matthew Folger—called up vague memories that seemed to reveal great truths to him. The girl smiled grimly. “Let me go on. My father deeded Folger the land. The . deed was to go on record so that all the world woffid know that Folger owned It and if tne clan killed him. it was plainly for the purposes of greed alone. But there was also a secret agreement— drawn up In black 'and white and to be kept hidden for twenty-one years. In this agreement, Folger promised to return to me—the 'only Uvhig heir of the Rosses—the IandB acquired by the deed. In reality, he was only holding them In trust-for me, and ,was to rev turn them when I was twenty-one. In case of my father’s death, Folger was to be my guardian until that time. “Folger knew the risk he ran, but he was a Brave mail -and he did not care. Resides, he was my father’s friend—and friendship goes far In the mountains. And my father was shot down before a week’was past “The clan had acted quick, you see. When Folger heard of It, before the dawn, he came to my father’s house and carried me away. Before another night was done he was killed too.” The perspiration leaped out on Bruce’s forehead. The, red glow of the fire was In his eyes, “He fell almost where this fire is built, with a thirty-thirty bullet In his Brain. AVhIclf one of the dan killed him I do not know-Mrat In all prob­ ability it was Simon himself—at that time only eighteen years of age. And Folgers little, boy—something past four years old—wandered out Jn the moonlight, to find Ms father’s body.” The girl was speaking slowly now, evidently watching the effect of her words on her listener.. He was bent forward^ and his breath came ln aueer whispering gusts. “Go on I” he o* uerea savagely, -Teii the r » e AVhy do you keep , me waitingi” i The girl smiled again—like a sor 6 ceress. -“Folgeris wife was from the ? plains country,”! she told him slowiv * “K she had been of the mountains ~he 4 might have remained to do some kill ■ ing-on her own account. Like old El mira herself remained to do—kiliinc on her own account! But she svas from cities, just as you are, but she— unlike you—had no mountain blood in her. She wasn’t used to death, and perhaps she didn’t know how to hate She only knew how to be afraid. “They say that she went almost In. sane at the sight of that strong, bra™ man of hers lying still in the pine needles. She hadn’t even known he • was out of the house. He had gone out on some secret business—late at night. She had. only one thing left-, her baby boy ,and her little foster, daughter—little Lindae Ross, who ij before you now. Her only thought was to get those children out of that dreadful land of bloodshed and to ; hide them so that they could never i come back. And she didn’t even want ' them to know their true parentage. She seemed to realize that if they had known, both of them would return some time—to collect their debts. Sooner or later, that boy with the FoI- ger blood in him and that girl with the Ross blood would, return, to at- tempt to regain their ancient holdings, and t^ make the clan pay! "All that was left were a few old women with hate in their hearts and a-strange tradition to take the place of hope. They said that some time, if death spared them, they would see Folgef’s son come back again, and assert his rights. Tliey said that a new champion would arise and right their wrongs. But.mostly death didn’t spare them. Only old Elmira is left. “AVhat became of the secret agree­ ment I ,do not know. I haven’t any hope that you do, either. The deed was carried down to the courts by Sharp, one of the.witnesses who man­ aged to get past the guard, and put on file soon after it was written. The rest is short. Simon and his clan took up the land, swearing that Matthew Folger had deeded it to them the day he had procured It; They had a deed to show for it—a forgery. And .-the one thing that they feared, the one weak chain, was that this secret agreement between Folger and my father’would be found. “You see what that would mean. It would show that he had no right to deed away the land, as he was simply holding it in trust for me. Old Elmira explained the matter to me—if I get mixed up on the legal end of it, ex­ cuse it. If that document could be found, their forged deed would be ob­ viously invalid. ' And it angered them that they could not find it. • “Of course they never filed their forged deed—afraid that the forgery would be discovered—but they kept it to show to any one that was in­ terested. But they wanted to make themselves, still safer.!. “There had been two witnesses to the agreement. One of them, a man named Sharp, died—or was killed— shortly after. The other, an old trap­ per named Hudson, was Indifferent to the whole matter—he was just pass­ ing through and was at Folger’s house for dinner the night Ross came. Heis still living In these mountains, and he might be of value to us. yet. "Of course the clan did not feel at all secure. They suspected the secret agreement had been , mailed to some one to take care of, and they were afraid that it would be brought to light when the time was ripe. They knew perfectly that their forged deed would never, stand the test,- so one of the tMngs to do was to prevent their claim ever being contested. That meant to keep Folger’s son. In ignorance of the whole matter. “I hope I can make that clear. The deed from my father to Folger was on record, Folger was dead, and Folger’s sou would have every right and op­ portunity to contest the clan’s claim to the land. If he could get the matter Into court, he would surely win. “The, second thing to do was to win me over. I was just a child, and It looked the easiest course of all. That’s why I was stolen from the orphanage by one of Simon’s brothers. The idea was simply that when the time came I would marry one of the clan and es­ tablish their claim to the land forever. "Dp to a few weeks ago it seemed to me that sooner or later I would win out Brijce, you-can’t dream what it meant! I thought that some time I could drive them out and make them pay, a little, for'.all they have done. But they’ve tricked m^, after all. I thought that I would Jget word, to Fol­ ger’s son, who by inheritance would have a dear title to. the land, and he, with the aid of the courts, could drive these usurpers.out. But.just recently Pve found out that even, this chance Is all but gone. I1HE DAVIE !circulation ! -Eltot PUBLISHED IN I !local and PI Cotton is 26 Jz te •tJ§ ' The roads are ii ^ R. S.

Whereupon the scribe wrote In the Bumblings: “We’ll say, however, that Jlmmy (which Is perhaps the name of the newspaper man In question) is some accomplished little liar, for he said ha would not go, but If our eyes did not deceive us be was handling a knife, fork and spoon like a veteran at the supper table; aye, and a cigar, too, but not so practiced with that as with the ice cream Shovel 1 And how would you describe all those gen­ tlemen who cheerfully answered ‘Yes,’ when asked whether they would go, but whose presence was missed on that eventful Thursday?”—Indianap­ olis News. - . £SASH 5 BLINDS ^ LUMBER ^LIM E ^CEM ENT S- FLOORING PERSIAN WORKMEN ARE PIOUS Their Invocations of the Deity Diffef Materially From Those of Amer­ ican Artisan.

Chemistry, and, according to a report i of the committee on occupational dis-'l eases of the American Chemical so-1 ciety, progress has been made In; its general use. One or two facetious chemists want­ ed to name wood or methyl-alcohol “Maud,” and stoutly advocated such: nomenclature a few years ago. Wheth­ er this was because of its death-deal­ ing 'ki<!k, similar to that of Mr. Opper’s comic mule of the same name, was not explained. I . More likely It was suggested by the! fact that grain alcohol is scientifically known as "Ethyl” alcohol, which, It must be admitted, suggests a some­ what affected method of spelling a girl’s name. • Mytilene’s Claim to Fama.

It was shown inthe courts in'the case of Mayfield. Democratic Sena­ tor-elect from Texas, that he spent $47,000 in the primary which resulted in his nomination in violation of (he state law Iiinitingsuch expenditures, and that he had failed to report con­ tributions for which he" had signed registered receipts For this reason Texas courts kept Mayfield's name off ,the ballot until over ruled bv the Tex-s Supseie Coui t, which had previously kept the name of the In dependent Republican candidate off the ballot on technical grounds. This case will give certain mem­ bers of the Senate who nave claimed to be "shocked” by expenditures in the Michigan Senatorial primary ,.an opportunity to show whether their indignation extends to cases where Democratsareoffenders Itisasafe guess that it does not. Up to this lime not one of the caterwaulers in the Newberry case has lifted up his voice iu the Mayfield scandal Op­ portunity will, soon be offered for a showdown to the honesty of attitude of our best advertised,.political puri- ficatlonists — National Republican...

An editor is always "seeing things.” Sometimes he meniions th<*m, vand .at. others he diysu’t U afun dJ, pends upon whether or not a good purpose can be served. At the dawn of the new year we have in mind a few things that we have seen, the mention of which at least will serve no ill purpose. We have seen little children pass adults.4m the street wistfully for some form of recognition—without receiving it. thoughtlessness on the part of the adults, of couse, but nevertheless an oversight which pains the infanti’e heart and leaves an impression that is not easy to forget. . - We have seen beautiful women walk along while men staie I it tent- .. Iy at them—even to the point of rudeness. This is not a fault peculiar to the men-of our community, as our men measime up to.the standard of man .-' kind in general. ItissiinpIy a recognition of the beauty of womanhood, but a recogni­ tion so forcible in its nature as to be often misunderstood and to cause em- - brassnient and resentment. , We have seen men spend dollar^ for personal pleasures and slip a dime in the collection box at church.-- It probably does not occur to them that the dime they give is for - the service of God, and if it were not for .the tolerance of the same God there would be-no expensive pleas­ ures for them to enjoy. We l\ave seen people sit still while oppootrunity walked all around them waiting vainly to be grasped. Possibly they expected opportuni­ ty take them gently by the hand and plenty/ _ But opportunity didn't.":....... We have seen people stand up »rd and deliberately boast to the point of prevarication, and except others to take them at face value. Thev probrbly did not realize that those who outwardly accepted them at face value were secretly, readil g the heart that wags the longue. We have re ;n frisky motorists go tearing along, the highways and laugh sardonically when some pedes­ trian had to jump to keep from being cruseed under the wheels. If the tables couldbe reversed, and the motyiists were required to make a lightning jump to save his own hide, he might do a little cussing. And, too, he mig.it realize wbat an unmitigated nuisance he is to the public, and how he stands in ibe es­ timation of law abiding motorists, and the public aj large. Perhaps—if htfliasany brains. We have seen many things, in many p'aces". and .at many times that would make many people sinle—or squirm—if they were reduced to cold unfeeling type. What have you seen? , Ntgro Burn Io 1805.

There are a number ot things that Modcsville sorely needs and here’s hoping that the citizens of the town will get busy early in the new year and try for. the following named things: A Chamber of Commerce.

He was a good friend of tlie editor. In the course of time he decided to run for an office. The editor voted -for hinrbut he was de- feated When the next election rolled around he decided that-, he ' could run better and so made the race for office again. Once again *•'“ the editor voted for him.' And then the Democrat told us we would have to stop his paper—and "TE he subscribed fqt other papers printed in other counties. : There was once a .Democrat who owned a big farm. He also parted with a hard-earned dollar for The Record. He did not run ' for any office. He was running for money. The Record gave much time and many dollars worth of space boosting this man’s business Li? and helping, him to make two dollars where he had only made one. In the course of time he t ild us to stop his paper. He had also subscribed for other papers, but could not help his home paper—the paper that had g'v.n. him many dollars worth, of • space. without money and without price.- Did he ever ask a friend to take The Re­ cord? We don’t think so. -Didhe ever ask a friend to stop takiug > The Record? We won’t say. There was “once- a Republican who took our paper, and in his business he needed some advertising . but the business, he said, could not afford to advertise for lack of funds. The business was one that meant much to the county. The • Record gaive i t , hundreds of dollars of free advertising. And when the time came that the. man had some money -to pay for advertising I did he give it to The Record? He , did not. This is gratitude^ r - And there are hundreds of other I similar cases Agoodladvstopped L _ her paper because she didn’t believe ! . in the Republican party—a number j-. - - of Republlcaus stopped their paper i because the editor wouldn’t vote for - - men whom lie - thought were not . competent to hold office. Others - -stopped their ... paper' because we wouldn’t be dictated.lo bv them,and had an opiuiou and a-wilL.of our , own. Butdespite all these things tlie .editor is-stp|bjgking a fight for he belieV d h f . right and — wilLcontiuue todo so. We are-not paying people-to- take our paper, but we are striving to give every man who does take it,, a dollar’s ■ . worth for a dollar. - We'have hund- _ reds of-good friends in Davie and -adjoining counties,rwlidTIave stood : by us for sixteen years, and who, -. we believe, will continue to stand by us, regardless of difference ip' politics or religions beliefs. -We dislike to claim any honor, but-we haye been connected with' country weekly newspapers for the past thirty years and we beleive that all our "readers-. will agree with us when -we say that any fellow who can make a living for thirty years running a’ country weekly-, is in­ deed a heroT WE LOST A FEW. Since the recent election held in Davie county The Record has lost about ten suls bribers. But we are glad to say that we' have added more' hew names to our books than we have had to take off. We stood for what tve thought" was right and have no Apologies to niake to any one for the way we voted, and would do the same thing again under similar circumstances. The editor of The Record is a Republi. can and lias been voting the Repu blican ticket for 20 years. He has never held a political .office and Ueve1T intends to do so. In 1912 when many Republicans left their first love and went off with tlie Bull Moose party1The Record stood firm by the partv of Abraham Lin­ coln and worked for and supported Hon. William Howard Taft for President. ' In 1922 we stood by same party of - Abraham Lincoln and voted the Rephblican ticket. Our vote was not cast for a Demo cratic .Congressman or. Represen tative. We stood for the party that we believed in. Every man has the same privilege that we ex­ ercised—voting’ for the party, and men of their'choice. We would not sell our principle fora few subscrip­ tions or for any office, in tne gift of the people. As long as the present editor lives and owns The Record it will be found fighting for Republi­ can principles. Did You Ever Think? ■ Did you ever think why it is that all editors have plently of money at all time&.and seasons and- never go broke? When help is needed for the poor, for new churches, for any thing,, the editor is the first man - rthat is waited oui We 'will explain why editors are always loaded down with cash. They devote pnost of their time and much"s“p'ace to boost­ ing the other fellows’s business and trying Io enhance the valiie of the bloated land - owners - property. They work for everybody but them­ selves. Abofit two weeks before Christmas' The Record mailed state­ ments to several hundred of-its subscribers who were Owing us. One day we met one of our "delin­ quents on the streets and he re­ marked that he had received our statementrknew he owed us but could not think about paying.,us until after Christmas. ‘ He is a good fellow. He k«ew we had plenty of money to buy Christmas presents for our loved ones, and of course he was saving his cash for the same purpose. Suppose all our Subsc iberswerelike him: There would be no Christmas cheer.-in the editor’s home. Out of about forty statements sent to one?, city, one only was thoughtful ’ enough- to remember that editors were human beings and needed, wood, and provisions like other folks. "W e are not grieving over matters—just giving our readers a few .rambling thoughts sO they will realize that we are human.' Letter From Rowani ' Christmas and New Year are. over and we are glad to greet our many friends and readers with a happy. Christmas and a prosperous New Year. . - We are real thankful, that, .after much sickness, we were permitted to pass these seasons with reason able health.,... Many greeting and congratula­ tions have been received with about twenty five dollars in cash.' Sure this is very cheering to the old couple that has been together near­ ly fifty seven years. But the hus­ band has been a paralytic for more than thirty-eight years. Thirty and eight years is the longest period of paralysis we read of in the Bible; bat we have broken that record and are now living in the thirty ninth year ot' our affliction; and thankful that we are still living.

Oii the evening of -30th ult., ..a- bout 6 o’clock Miss Mae Brown married Mr. Guy Cauble, and stated off at once for a trip to Atlanta Ga. Shewill return.and live together with her parents until her husband can build them a house. Tlie-cere- mony for these two was the short­ est ever performed by Rev. R. L. Brown—all in about three minutes, but enough to be strictly lawful and to bind them together for life. Both of them are good church workers, as well as Miss Beulah and Mr Hoke; valuable bridal pre seuts are-coming in. There are many cases of colds and flu in this section, and iu some instances whole families are down or have been down;_ but it does not seem to be as severe as it was a few years past.

The singing . school taught by. Rev. W. V. Brown, during the past week ai Ijames was attended by a goodly number of people both young and old, and we feel that each attendant was greatly benefit­ ed. Although the session was not as long as we would liked for it to have been but on account of schools reopening again soon, it was deem­ ed wise to close the past weeks school’ Saturday - evening and to make the necessary preparations for a ten day school iu the near future. .

All around the yard, over the fence, under the bam, through the garden, until somebody luckily falls upon it An easier way Is to make a long-handled net, using a sound, well-made barrel hoop. An old hammock makes a fine net for this purpose. The net should be about Handy Chicken Net. two feet deep. Lay it down, mouth up, put a few grains of corn on top, pretenC you are looking the other way, and when a chicken steps on the net to pick out the corn, lift up suddenly, tip it slightly to one side, and you have the fowl safe. If you are par­ ticularly expert the net may be dropped down'over the bird. It is not necessary to go to the forest for adventures; they He In w ait for us a t our very doors.—Sam uel Scoville, .Ir. THE EMERGENCY SHELF SUPPLY The housewife who has a shelf well supplied with canned foods, package and preserved, feels no distress In facing an un­ expected guest. With a can of salmon, a bit of cabbage, celery and a sour pickle or two, well- chopped, one may have a nourishing salad in a few moments. It is under­ stood, of course,- tbat all forehanded housewives have a jar of salad dress­ ing or the “makings” of French dress­ ing always on^hand. If no cabbage or celery is at hand, to the salmon add a half oupful or more of coconut from, which the sugar has been washed, using a little milk, then with a good boiled dressing a dish which is very substantial results. With the cupful or two of griddle- cake batter which lias been prepared with milk and egss, a cupful of canned corn is stirred and you have fritters io serve with bacon, chicken or any meat dish you desire. Cook the frit­ ters on a hot griddle In a little fat, or fry them in deep fat. A few marshmallows cut up may be served in place of cream on the cup of hot * chocolate or to garnish a pud­ ding, meringue, or a custard. They are nice in fruit salads of all kinds. The canned marshmallow whip may be used with nuts to frost Jakes, cook­ ies and desserts. It is unnecessary to mention tlie wide range of soups one may serve from the canned varieties. An excel­ lent combination is ^ea soup and canned milk—a can of each, heated hot and served with croutons or hot crackers. She is indeed wise who can com­ bine and season her. foods so that the ready-to-eat food ihay have the air of that cairefully prepared by an artist. A cooked salad dressing will be­ come, ivith the addition of some chopped parsley, pickles or capers, a delightful fish sauce. . With a little left-over chicken and a bunch of celery with mayonnaise a delicious salad Is ready, and who could refuse a chicken- salad? A'few suggestive meijus which may be prepared from the.emergency shelf may be tiniely. Por luncheon, canned chicken on toast, string bean salad, crackers, canned fruit, cookies and tea or cocoa with cheese if desired.

HEAD LICE INJURE TURKEYS Grayish White Louse Is Most Serious of All Parasites—Melted Lard Kills Parasites. Turkeys, ducks and geese are more easily killed by the bead lice than are other kinds of farm fowls. The lice are only one of the fix or eight forms which bother poultry, but a single head louse has been known to kill a turkey. It is a grayish white louse, and the most sefcous of them all. For treatment, dip the tip of the Anger in melted lard and rub this well around the comb. Dip again and rub back of the ear, repeating for the other ear, the bill and jaw. This does not give the head a greasy appear­ ance, but is enough to destroy the lice. A few drops of kerosene, carbolic acid or stock dip may be added to the lard, to make it more effective. Tlie bird should be kept In a warm place for a couple of hours after this treatment has been given. LIME SUPPLY FOR CHICKENS Experiments Have Demonstrated That Other Minerals Will Not Take Its Place. Feeding experiments with poultry conducted over a number of years in which an effort was made to sub­ stitute other mineral elements for lime in the ratios are said to have demonstrated that other minerals will not take the piace of lime and that if this element is lacking In the food the demands of the body will be met by drawing on the lime stored- up in' the bones and musses of the fowl. It was also found that both lime and phosphorus are more easily taken from the bones ol the living animal than from dead bone ash fed tc the anlmaL CURE FEATHER EATING HABIT Indication That Fowls Are After Cer- tatn Classes of Foods They Are Not Getting. The reason that fowls eat feathers is due to the fact that they are after certain classes of foods which, they need but are. not getting.

The death rate from tuberculosis among wemen is on the increase. In spite of the increase in active cases among women the death rate for males is still higher than that for females by almost one-third. “The sudden in­ flux of women into Industry during the war may, in a measure, be re- • sponsible for this increase,” says a statement from the National Tubercu­ losis association. “This does not mean'that there is any real basis for the»assertion that women are not as well fitted for industrial work as men are. It is a fact, however, that many women who. work in industry also look after their household duties and bring up large families of children. Conse­ quently, Insufficient rest, improperly . oooked food and lack of fresh air so undermine the constitution that they readily become victims of the tubercle bacillus."

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected. Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one .preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Eoot is soon realized. It -stands the highest for ita remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made .the as­tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re­jected is because kidney troubte is so common to it he American people, and the large majority, of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Boot is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.

F D d E R MiriISTER ARRESTED Indications Point to an Organized Trade in Liquors Brought by Embassies. Washington.—Souses of what are lescrihed as “embassy” liquors which, it is claimed, have been finding their way into the illicit traffic in Wash­ ington in large quantities are sought by the District of Columbia police as a result o£ three successive raids in as many apartment houses in the' fash­ ionable Northwest section. Lientenant 0. T .Davis, chief ot the vice squad, under whose direction the raids were conducted, declared that there were indications o£ an or­ ganized traffic in liquor brought by some of the embassies and legations. Information had reached the police, fee added, that attaches of some of these establishments have been par­ ties to this traffic. Asaong so-called "exclusive boot­ leggers” who handle high grade li­ quors, are a number of women, ac­ cording to the police, whose- clientele includes many of the participants in what the authorities term the ''high life” of the national capital. Whisperings of certain “bootleg­ gers” that they could supply the fin­ est of intoxicants because of “pipe lines” into foreign diplomats estab­ lishments reached the police some­ time ago but it was not until., the re­ cent raids that the law officers became satisfied that this was more than “sell­ ing talk.” In the latest raid, Lieutenant Davis and his squad, which included fed­ eral officers, took into custody a man who said he was Joaquin Mendez, a former minister from Guatemala, and seized a large quantity of imported wipes and whiskies. Lieutenant Davis said Mrs. Hecht admitted that the liquors found in her apartment were from foreign sources. He added that the man arrestecf had claimed owner­ ship «f the liquor, and had protested against its seizure on the ground that it was the property of a diplomat. Inquiry-at the state . department, Lieutenant Davis said, brought the in­ formation that Mendez was no' longer an accredited diplomat, while at the Guatemalan legation it was stated he had no present connection with that establishment. Thfc ^legation said it had been informed that a man repre­ senting himself to be the minister from Guatemala and calling himself Mendez, was in Washington. Federal prohibition enforcement of­ ficers said they had not yet received official reports from the government agents partisipating in the raids, but added that if investigation should dis- slose that liquors imported by embas­ sies and legations were flowing into illegal channels the raster would be laid before the state department. The next step, they said, would he for that department to call the facts to the attention of the ambassadors and ministers in a friendly way with a view to a tightening\up in the diplo­ matic establishments. — Mrs. Laura Kimbrough.

Preparing to March Int6 the Rhur. Paris—France’s Rhine army is gath­ ering to be ready to march when Premier'Poincare gives the word for, carrying out his still secret -plan for seizing the Ruhr and the Rhineland. Trains were crowded with officers and men hurriedly recalled from leave, returning to their posts, and M. Poin­ care conferred with M. Le Trocquer, minister of public works, on final ar­ rangements ’ for the transportation. of the civil and military forces. > The French troops on the Rhine have been ordered by General Degou- ette to remain in their quarters where there - appears to be any darker o£ clashes with the Germans, and every precaution will be taken to avoid dem­ onstrations. I • There are several times tha number of French forces in the Rhineland as are likely to be required for th-?. Ruhr operations, but all the troops will be) held in readiness for instant service,-- although there is nothing yet to justi­ fy the assumption of immediate ac­ tion. The details of the French plin re­ main a mystery, but M .Poincare has repeatedly described the proposed entrance into the Ruhr as chieSy the work of engineers and customs col­ lectors. This is the nucleus, but th<s military support required' necessarily depends upon the French , estimtas of what resistance the Germans offer. Postal Receipts Record Made.

Linda's father had deeded his lands to M atthew Fol- ger, but the agreem ent, which would confute the enem y's claim s to the property, has been lost. CHAPTER IX—Continued. “Within a few more weeks they will have been In possession of the land for a full twenty years. Through some legal twist I don’t understand, if a man pays taxes and has undis­ puted possession of land for that length of time, hip title is secure. They failed to win me over, but it looks as if they had won, anyway. The only way that they can be defeat­ ed now is for that secret agreement— between my father and Folger—to re- ~ appear. And I’ve long ago given up all hope of that. " “There is no court session between now and October thirtieth—when their twenty years of undisputed pos­ session is culminated. There seems to be no chance to contest them—to make them bring that forged deed into the light before that time. We’ve lost, after all. And only one thing re­ mains.” •He looked up to And her eyes full upon him. He had never Seen such eyes. They seemed to have sunk so deep Into the flesh about them that only lurid slits remained. It was not that her Uds were partly down. Bather it was because the fiesh-saeks beneath them had become charged with her pounding blood. The fire’s glow was In them and cast a strange glamor upon her face. It only added to the strangeness of the picture that she sat almost limp, rather than leaning forward in appeal. Bruce looked at her In growing awe. But .as the seconds passed he seemed no longer, able to see her plainly. His eyes were misted and blurred, but they were empty of tears as Linda's own. Rather the focal point of his brain had become seared by a mount­ ing flame within himself. The glow of the fire had oeeiuinejy spread until it encompassed the whole wilderness world. “What is the one thing that re­ mains?” he asked her, whispering. She answered with a strange, ter­ rible coldness of tone. “The blood atonement,” she said between back- drawn lips. CHAPTER X When the second hand of the watch In his pocket had made one more cir­ cuit, both Bruce and Linda found themselves upon their feet. The ten­ sion had broken at last. Her emotion had been curbed too long. It broke from her In a flood.. She seized his hands, and he started at their touch. “Don’t you under­ stand?” slie cried. “You—you—you are Folger’s son. You are the boy that crept out—under this very tree _ to find him dead. AU my life Elmira and I have prayed for you to come. And what are you going to do?" Her face was drawn in the white light of the moon. For an instant he seemed dazed. “Do?” he repeated.. “I don’t know whiit Tm going to do." - “You don’t!" she cried, in infinite scorn. ' “Are you just clay? Aren’t you a man? Hav'en’t you got arms to strike with and eyes to see along a rifle barrel? Are you a coward—and a weakling; one of yopr mother’s blood, to run away? Haven’t you any­ thing to avenge? I thought you were a mountain -man—-that all your' -years in cities couldn't take that quality away from you!. Haven’t you any answer?” He looked up, a strange light grow­ ing on his face; “Yon mean—kill­ ing?” “What else? To kill—never to stop kilting—one after another, until they are gone! Till Simon Turner and the ■whole Turner clan have paid the debts they owe." Bruce recoiled as if from a blow. "Turner? Did you say Turner?” he asked hoarsely. "Yes. That’s the clan's name., I thought you knew.” , Bruce understood now his unpro­ voked attack on the ItttW boy when he had been taken from tlie orphan­ age on trial. The boy had been named Turner, and the name had been enough to recall a great and terrible hatred that he had learned in earliest baby­ hood. The name now recalled.it again; the truth stood clear at last. It was the ..key to all the mystery of his life; it stirred him more than all of Linda’s words. In an instant all the tragedy of his babyhood was recalled—the hushed talk between his parents, the oaths, the flames in their eyes, and finally the body he had found lying so still beneath the pines. It was always the Turners, the dread name that had filled his baby days witli horror. He hadn’t understood then. It had been blind hatred—hatred with­ out understanding or self-analysis. As she watched* his mountain blood mounted to the ascendency. A strange transformation came over him. The gentleness that he had acquired in his years of city life began to fall away from him. The mountains were claim­ ing him again. His voice was cold and hard when he spoke. "Then 'you and I are no relation whatever.” “None.” “But we fight the same fight notv.” “Yes. Until we both win—or both die.” Before he could speak again, a strange answer came out of the dark­ ness. “Not two of you,” a croaking old voice told him. It rose, shrill and cracked, from the shadows beyond the fire.. Thejpp turned, and the moon­ light showed'a bent old figure hob­ bling toward them. It was old Elmira, her cane tapping along In front of her; and something that caught the moonlight lay in the hollow of her left arm. Her eyes still glowed under the grizzled brows. “Not two, but three,” she corrected, In the hollow voice of uncounted years. In the magic of the moonlight it seemed quite fitting- to both of them that she should have come. She Was one of the triumvirate; they wondered why they had not missed her before. It was farther than she had walked in years, but her spirit had kept her up. She put the glittering object that she carried into Bruce’s hands. It was a rifle—a repeating breech-loader of a famous make and a model of thirty years before. It was such a day and the night, and you can imag­ ine them denying man’s superiority just as long as possible. Of course the saying is ridiculous if applied to cities or perhaps even to the level, cleared Ianfls of the Middle West. The reason is simply that the wild life Is practically gone from these places. But a few places remain in America where the reign of the wild creatures, during the night hours at least, is still supreme. And Trail’s End is one of them. . Bruce dressed slowly. He wouldn’t waken the two women that slept in the next room, he thought. He crept slowly out into the gray dawn. He made straight for the great pine that stood a short distance from the house. For reasons unknown to him, the pine had come often into his dreams. , He had thought that its limbs rubbed to­ gether and made words—but of the words themselves he had hardly caught the meaning. There was some high message in them, however; and the dream had left him with a vague curiosity, an unexplainable desire to see the forest monarch in the day­ light. He found to his delight' that the tree was even more impressive in the vivid morning light than it had been at night He was constantly awed by the size of it. He guessed its cir­ cumference as about twenty-five feet. The great lower limbs were them­ selves like massive tree trunks. Its top surpassed by fifty feet any pine in the vicinity. He felt stilled and calmed. Such was its influence. And ho turned with a start when he saw Linda in the door­ way. “I’ve been talking to the pine—all the morning,” he told her. “But it won’t talk to you,” she an­ swered. “It talks only to the stars.’ “Not Two, but Three,” She Corrected, in the Hollow Voice of Uncounted Years. rifle as lives in legend, with sights as fine as a razor edge and an accuracy ■as great as light itself. Loving hands had polished it and kept ij in perfect condition. “Matthew Folger’s rifle;” the old ,woman explained, "for Matthew Fol­ ger’s son.” And that is how Bruce Foiger re­ turned to the land of his bjrth—as most men do, unless death cheats them first—and how he made a pact to pay old debts of death. BOOKyTWO THE BLOOD ATONEMEHT CHAPTER Xlv . “Men own the; day. but the night is ours,” is ah old saying among the wild folk'that inhabit tlie forests of Trail's. End;, The paying originated long and Iongr ago when the world was quite young. Before that time, likely enough, the. beasts owned both the CHAPTER XII Bruce and Linda had a long talk while the sun climbed up over the great ridges to the east and old El­ mira cooked their breakfast. There was no passion in their words this morning. They had got down to a basis of cold planning. “Let me refresh my memory about a few of those little things you told me,” Bruce requested. “First—oh what date does the twenty-year pe­ riod—of the Turners! possession of the land—expire?” “On tlie thirtieth ,of October, of this year.” “Not very long, is it? Now you un­ derstand that on that date they will have had twenty years of undisputed possession of the land; they will have paid taxes on it that long; and unless their title is proven false between now and that date, we can’t ever drive them out.’’ “That’s just right” “And .the fall term of court doesn’t begin until the fifth of the following month.” “Yes, we're beaten. That’s all there is to it. Simon told me so the last time he talked to me.” “It would be to his interest to have you think so. But Linda—we mustn't give up yet. We must try as long as one day remains. It seems to me that the first thing to do is to find the trap­ per, Hudson—the one witness that is still alive. He might be able to prove to the court that as my fa­ ther never owned the land in reality, he-couldn’t possibly have deeded It to the-Turners. Do you know where this Hudson is?” “I asked old Elmira last night. She thinks she knows. A man told her he had his trap line on the upper Ump­ qua, and his main' headquarters—-Vou know that trappers have a string of camps—was at the mouth of Little river, that flows into the Umpqua. But it is a long way from here.” Bruce was still a moment. “How far?” he asked. .“Two full days’ tramp at the least- barring out accidents. But if you think it is best—yon can start out to­day.” Bruce was a man who made deci­ sions quickly. “Then I’ll start—right away. Can you tell me how to find the trail?” “I can only tell you to go straight north.” “Then the thing to do is to get ready at once. And then try to bring Hud­ son back with me—down the valley. After we get there, we can- see what can be done.” Linda smiled rather sadly. “I’m not very hopeful. But It’s our last chance —anti we might as well make a -try. Tlierfe is no hope,, that the secret agreement will show up In these few •weeks . that remain. - We’ll get your things together at once.” Thqy breakfasted, and after the simple meal- was finished, Bruce packed for the journey. The two women walked with him, out under the pine. . Bruce shook old Hhn’ra’s scrawny' hand; then she turned hack at once into the house. The man felt singu­ larly grateful. He began to ' credit the old woman with, a great deal of Intuition, or else memories ,from her own girlhood of long and long ago He, did want a word alone with1'thisstrange girl of the pines. Bnt1 when Elmira had gone In and. the coast was clear, it wouldn’t come, to his lips. “It seems strange,” he said, "to come hfere only last night—and then to be leaving again.” It seemed to his astonished gaze that her lips trembled ever so slightly. “We have been waiting for each other a long time, Bwovaboo,” she replied, She spoke rather low, not looking straight at him. “And I hate to have you go away so soon.” ' “But I’ll be back—In a few days.” ‘ “You don’t know. No one ever knows when they start out In these mountains. Promise me, Bruce—to keep watch- every minute. Remember there’s nothing—nothing—that Simon won’t stoop to do. He's like a wolf. He has no rules of fighting. He’d just as soon strike from ambush. How do I know that you’ll even come back again?” “But I will.” He smiled at her, and his eyes dropped, from hers to her lips. He reached out and took her hand. "Good-by, Linda,” -he said, smiling. She smiled in reply, and her. old MYSR**-' His Arms Went About Her, and He Kissed Her Gently on the Lips. cheer seemed to return to her. “Good- by, Bwovaboo. Be careful.” "I’ll be careful. And this reminds me of something.” “What?” “That for. all the time Tve been away-—and for ail the time I’m going to be away now—I haven’t done any­ thing more—well, more intimate— than shake your hand.” Her answer was to pout out her lips in the most natural way in the world. Bruce was usually deliberate in his motions; but all at once his delibera­ tion fell away from him. There seemed to be no interlude' of time be­ tween one position and. another. His •arms went about her, and he kissed her gentiy on the lips. But it was not at all as they expect­ ed. Because Linda had not known many kisses, tills little caress beneath the pine went very straight home in­ deed to them both. They fell apart, both of them suddenly sobered. The' girl’s eyes were tender and lustrous, but startled too. “Good-by, Linda,” he told her. “Good-by, Bwovaboo,” she-answered. He turned up the trail past the pine. He did not know that she stood watching him a long time, her hands clasped over her breast. CHAPTER Xlll Miles farther than Linda’s cabin, clear beyond the end of the trail that Duncan, took, past even the highest ridge of Trail’s End and in the region where the little rivers that run. into, the Umpqua have their starting place, is a certain land of Used to Be. It Isn’t a land of the Present Time at all. It 1$ a place that has never grown old. Whep a man passes the last outpost of civilization, and the shadows of the unbroken woods drop over him, he is likely to forget that the year is nine­ teen hundred and twenty, and that tlie day before yesterday he had seen an airplane passing over his house. The world seems to have kicked off its thousand-thousand years as a warm man at night kicks off covers; and all things are Jiist as they used to be. It is the Young World—a world of beasts rather than men, a world where the hand of man has hot yet been felt. On this particular early-Septen$jlfc day, the age-old drama of. the wilufejC ness was in progress. It was a drama of untamed passions and bloodshed, strife and carnage and lusf and rap­ ine; ahd It didn’t, unfortunately, have a particularly happy ending. The players were beasts, hot men. The only human being anywhere in the near vicinity was the old trapper, Hudson, following down his trap line on the creek margin on the way to his ,camp. It is true that two other men. with a rather astounding simi­ larity of purpose, were at present com­ ing down two of the long trails that led ■ to the region ; - but as yet the drama was hidden from their eyes. One of the two was Bruce, coming from Linda’s cabin. One was Dave Turner, approaching from' the direc­ tion of the Ross estates. Turner was much the nearer! Curiousiy. both had business with the trapper Hudson. : The action of the piny was calm at .first. Mostly the forest creatures were still; in their afternoon sleep ThC does and their little spotted fawns were sleeping; the blacktail deer had, not yet sought the feeding grounds on the ridges. The' cougar yawned ill his lair, the wolf dozed In' hi* covert, even the polson-people lay like long shadows on the hot rocks. An old raccoon wakened from his place on a high limb, stretched him­ self, scratched at his fur, then began to steal down the limb. He had a long way to go* before dark. Hunting1Was gptting poor In tills part of tlie woods. He believed he would wander down toward Hudson’s camp and look for crayfish In the water. A coyote is usually listed among the larger forest creatures, but early though the hour was—early, that Is, for hunters to be out—he was stalking a fawn In a covert. AU the hunts were progressing fa­ mously when there came a curious in­ terruption. It was a peculiar growl, quite low at first. It lasted a long time, then died away. There was no opposition to it The forest creatures had paused In their tracks at its first note, and now they Stood as if the winter had/comp.down,upon them sud­ denly and frozen them solid. All the other sounds of the forest—the little whispering noises of gliding bodies and fluttering feet, and perhaps. a bird's call In. a shrub—were suddenly stilled. There was a moment of breathless suspense. Then the sound commenced again. It was louder this time. It rose and gathered volume until It was almost a roar. It carried through the silences in great waves of sound. And In it was a sense of -resistless power; no creature In the forest but what’knew this fact. “The Gray King,” one could imagine them saying among themselves. The effect was instantaneous. The little raccoon halted in his descent, then crept out to the end of a limb. The coyote, - an instant before crawling with body close to the earth, whipped about as If he had some strange kind of circular spring inside of him. He snarled once In the general direction of the Gray King. Then he lowered his head and skulked off deeper into the coverts. The blacktail deer, the gray wolf, even the stately Tawny One, stretched In grace In his lair, wakened from sleep. The languor died, quickly In the letter’s eyes, leaving only fear! These were braver than the Little People. They waited until the thick brush, not far distant from.where the bull elk slept, began to break down and part before an enormous, gray body. No longer would an observer think of the elk as the forest monarch. He was but a pretender, after all. The real king had just wakened from his afternoon nap and was starting forth to hunt . Even his little cousins, the black bears, did not wait to make conversa­ tion; They tumbled awkwardly down the hill to get out of his way. For the massive gray form—weighing over half a ton—was none other than that of the last of the grizzly bears,- that terrible forest hunter and monarch, the Killer himself. ’ * * • * * • * Long ago, when Oregon was a new land to white men, In the days of the clipper ships _ and the Old Oregon Trail, the breed to which the Killer be­ longed were really numerous through the little corner north of the Siskiyous and west of the Cascades. They were a worthy breed! If- the words of cer­ tain old men could be believed, the southern Oregon grizzly occasionally, in the bountiful’fall days, attained a weight of two thousand pounds. No doubt whatever remains that thou­ sand-pound bears were numerous. But unlike the little black bears, the grizzlies developed displeasing habits. They were much more carnivorous In character- than the blacks, and their great bodily • strength and power en­ abled them to master all of the myriad forms of game In the Oregon woods. By the same token, they could take a full-grown steer and carry it off "as a woman carries her baby. It couldn’t be endured. The cattle­ men had begun to settle the valleys, and it was either a case of killing the grizzlies or yielding the valleys to them. In the relentless.war that fol­ lowed,' the breed had been practically wiped .ouL A few of. them, perhaps, fled farther and farther up the Cas­ cades, finding refuges In the Canadian mountains. Others traveled east, lo­ cating at last In the Rocky moun­ tains, and countless numbers of them' died. At last, as far as the frontiers­ men Imew, only one great specimen remained. This was a famous bear that men called Slewfoot—a magnifi­ cent animal that ranged far and hunted relentlessly, and no one ever knew just when they were going to run across him. He was apt suddenly to loom up, like a gray cliff, at any turn in the . trail, and his disposition grew querulous Witlfage- In: fact, in­ stead of fleeing as most wild creatures Imve learned to do, he was rather likely- to make sudden and unexpected charges. ' . He was killed at last; and seem­ ingly the southern Oregon grizzlies were wiped out. But it is rather easy to believe that in some of his wander­ ings he encountered—lost and far In the deepest heart, of the 'land palled Trail’s End—a female of his own breed. There must have been cubs who, in their turn, mated and- fought and died, and perhaps two generations after them. And out of the last brood had emerged a single' great male, a worthy descendant of his famous an­ cestor. This was the Killer, who I i a few months since he had left his fastnesses, was beginning to i*uin the cattle business'In TraIPaEnd Stow11OE from his bed this September evening he was not a creature to speak Of7Ughtly. He was ^ wna0P ?n fonrs- Ws vast head was lowered, his Ijuge fangs gleamed in «>e dark red mouth. The eyes were small, and curious little fed lights glowed in each of-them. The Killer was cross; and he dldn*t'care who butknew It. He 'was hungry too hunger Is an emotion for the he of prey to keep carefully to tw selves.' n^ r The Killer moved quite softly. 0, . would feave marveled how Silentlv hi great feet fell upon the dry earth a.! with what slight sound Ws h form moved through the th ic k e ts V moved slowly, cautiously—all the tiJ mounting farther up the little hiti u,., rose from the banks of the stream He came to an opening in the thicu- a little brown pathway that vanished quickly into the shadows of the cot erts. The Killer slipped softly m-,, « heavy brush just at its mouth. It \ his ambush. Soon, he knew, some of the creatures that had bowers in th« henrt of the thicket would he cemiBs along that trail onto the feedhw grounds on the ridge. He had onh to wait. The night-wind, rising Somewhevei8' the region of the snow banks on U 18 - highest mountains, blew down into the £ Killer's face and brought messages that no human being may ever receive Then his sharp ears heard the sound of brush , cracked softly as some one of the larger forest creatures came up the trail toward him. The steps drew nearer and the Killer recognized them. They were plainly the soft footfall of some mem. her of the deer tribe, yet they were ' too pronounced to be the step of anv of the lesser deer.. The bull elk had left his bed. The . red eyes of the grizzly seemed tq. glow as he waited. Great though the stag was. only one little blow of. the massive forearm would be needed. The huge fangs would have to close down but once. The bear did not move a single tell­ tale muscle. He scarcely breathed. The bull was almost within striking range now. The wicked red eyes could .already discern , the dimmest shadow of his outline through the thickets. Biit all at .once he stopped, head lifting. The jffiller knew that the elk had neither detected his odor nor heard him, and be had made no move­ ments that the sharp eyes could de­ tect. Yet the bull was evidently alarmed. He stood immobile, one foot lifted, nostrils open, head raised. Then, the wind blowing true, the griz, zly understood. A pungent smell reached him from below—evidently the smell of a living creature that followed the trail along the stream that flowed through the glen. He recognized It In an instant. He had .detected it many times, par­ ticularly. when he went into the cleared lands to kill cattle. It was man, an odor almost unknown in this lonely glen. Dave Turner, brother of Simon, was walking down the stream toward Hudson's camp. To the elk this; smell was Fear it­ self. He knew, the ways of men only too well. Too many times he had seen members of his herd fall- stricken . at a word from the glittering sticks u:hey carried in their hands. He ut­ tered a far-ringing snort. It was a distinctive sound, begin­ ning rather high, on the scale as a THE DAVlE LARGEST circulation of PUBLISHED IN DAVlB lis t s ® '< V ; 1I w “Hunt up/ Hudson, the one living man who witnessed that agreement between Ro 6s and old ,Folger." . .

He was full In the air when the forepaws battered down where he had been. Then he darted away into the coverts. The grizzly knew better than to try to overtake him. Almost rabid with wrath he turned back to his ambush.

A false Impression, due to lack of knowledge of the German language, led Dr. Graham Bell to attempt his successful Invention of the telephone. Bell’s father had been a professor of elocution, and his grandfather, toi), so an interest in the mechanism,of speech wns a sort of a family affair, and as a boy he tried to learn everything which bore upon what he thought would be his professional work through life—the correction of errors of speech. When he was seventeen he made the discovery, which he thought was original, that the resonance of the mouth cavity varied In making different vowel sounds. He afterward discovered that this had been discov­ ered long before by Helmholtz, who had obtained vowel sounds by tuning forks to different pitches: Bell could not read GennaD, and knew nothing about electricity, so got the’false idea that Helmsholtz had been able to transmit vowel sounds by electricity. Believing that, he saw no reason why speech-should not also be transmitted, and having that’ false idea, he set to work to see whether he could not do so. “In considering an Invention,” says Doctor Bell, “the attitude .of a man toward his subject is important. That false idea undoubtedly helped me to produce the result at which I aimed.” ASTONISHING AGE FOR HORSE Animal Owned In the United State* Declared to Have Lived for Fifty-one Year*. A horse’ owned by a United States clergyman named Meyers is. probably- the oldestTbf its kind, liavlng^reached the astonishing age of fifty-one years. Clover, as this remarkable beast is called, has astonished the experts by his feat-in living for more than half a century. It is undoubtedly a world’s record. The house surgeon^at the Koyal Veterinary college In London admitted that' he had never heard of a case to equal it. “The oldest, horse I ever knew,” he said, “was a pony in the Midlands which lived to be thirty- nine and which was at work until 12 months before its death. Bace horses are usually past their prime, after six years, and hunters and working horses after twelve years of useful life.” A surprising sight was a black western pony, over thirty years of age, which, though still hale and hearty, had be­ gun to turn gray, and-presented the appearance of having passed through a snow storm. Another expert said that he believed it was quite possible for horses to live for half a/ century or more, but added that In his experi­ ence the oldest creature/was {thirty-' eight years of age. How long lV.lived after that he was unable tb-say." French Perfumes Universally Used. When the Turkish lady arrays her­ self for the afternoon or evening her dressing table holds the same French perfumes that the women In Paris or New York are favoring. The daintily painted, daintily- scent­ ed Japanese maiden Is lfliewlse aided In her beauty. , - ‘ Curiously enough, however, the Ioy-. alty to French preparations ends with perfumes. The women of - both coun­ tries prefer American made: soap, tal­ cum and creams. Lip sticks are con­ sumed In unbelievable quantities In Turkey, Japan, Spain and Cuba, since the standard of femlnln** beauty in each of these cbuntrles Is inseparable from the heavily made-up “effect. The C loisters.■ ,President MeikieJohn of Amherst college said at a dinner In Amherst: . “New Yqrk is developing an accent as hideous as the cockney accent of London. “A New York second-hand ! dealer moved to Brooklyn. He. called his new home The Cloisters. ._V ‘“It’n. a nice joint ye got here, aw right, aw right,’ his partner said to him, ‘but why do ye call It The CloIs-. ters? Wot’s the Idea?’ “ ‘I call It The. Cloisters,’ the sec­ ond-hand dealer explained, -. ‘because It’s cloise to the movie palace, clolse ••to the trolley line and ,cloise to" the theayter.’” “"•■ Ever Coast on Sand? . Most youngsters think of sleds as delightful ’ playthings, but,/ alas! they’re for use only during snow time. However, a group of-young citizens who live near the Sunt’s Point sta­ tion of the N. Y.,‘ W.- and B. railroad have found a hill of a' dusty sand which is slippery enough' to allow of the use of sleds at all times. Any Saturday, or, indeed, Uny. day after school hours they may^he seen there In great numbers coasting down the hill, which is about 200 or, 300 feet high and not far. from the railroad tracks. Apparently they get all thb thrill and fun out of It that comes with snow sledding.—New York Sun.

A Harvest In Answer To Prayer, A village thanking God for an answer to' its prayer is not often recorded in the newspapers, not bo, cause the newspapers are averse to to printing such news, but because villages do not ofteu go down on their knees in a spirit, of thanks- giving. It was'just such an inci- jU dent wflich got the name of the name of the little hamlet of New England, North Dakota, into the news dispatches a short time ago. Last spring, the story goes, after four years of heart-breaking failures the farmers and their families- as­ sembled and joined reverently iu a solemn appeal for divine protection ....... l|M— (Iryft-iV 11 I**— /I . Terrililie D eatk A mildewed old document, 1689, is discovered in Poland. It describ­ es the execution of a certain gentle­ man named Casimir Lysznski. After death, his. body was burned, IiisasliesputiH acaiiHOU and into the air toward Tartary. This hap­ pened in Warsaw, and was an ev­ ent not unusual in those days. Casimir’s-crime was denying the existence of God. It is only 133 years since counter­ feiters were considered guilty of treason and often burned alive in England. The law was repealed in 1790. A heart-rending instance was a I (I' Do You Curse? Saw a young man the other day v * • mm and heard him “cussing.” I don’t know who he is, but this I do know, that no GENTLEMAN will curse, much less a Christian. Cursing is uncommg and is no geht'emanly act. hence no real gentleman- will curse. A Iiian may ride, in-m John- Henry or a big five thousand dollar car. or travel this old globe afoot, but if he curses he is not a gentle­ man. He may live in a long cabin or a mansion, may fill some great position (though not apt to) or live in obscurity almost, but if he curses lie’s not a gentleman. A man may be a governor or a president, but if he curses he is not a gentleman. A man may be rich, but if . he curses he’s no gentleman. Not even a good citizen; for a good hitizeu is oue morally as well as one who is lawabiding. You can't trust a man who curses. No sir. If be will take the sacred and holy name of God in vain he is likely to do lots other things that are very. bad. I kuow men do. Lots of fellows who curse will drink, make and sell whiskey; play cards; fightaud-gam- ble; lie, cheat and steal, and yoir know none of this is. the mark characteristic of a gentleman. It’s a mighty bad sign to heard a fellow curing- You don’t know what he is guilty of, or may do. Girls, be­ ware of the young man who ’curses. You cau’t trust him unless he will repeuf and quit. If. you marry him he will curse you. Thousands of girls have sadly experienced this: There are lots of things you ough' to find out about a' man before you marry him, and one .of the specials is, does he curse? If so, wait for the next fellow. There are multitudes .of fathers that curse before their children, and 'he truth is generally, they cursed before they had child­ ren. And of course you will all-ad mit that a man is not fit - to raise childrdn who curses. He is not fit to raise anything, because he is too mean. And the same is' true of a cursing (?) woman. Yes, some women get so low in the scale cf sin and wbmanhood that they.curse. Welt; 'we will say the satn€''!§Y her that we do of the cursing man: no woman is a lady who. curses.—W. E.

As a matter of course the move ment of the New England mills South is just beginning, and the year is to see much new investment along that line in the cotton belt. But th|re is yet a matter of great importance. The New England people have been accustomed to buy ing their machinery next' do jr. For one thing, it saves time ane the Jreight bill, and when they begin operating here . they will be next door for machinery equipment.

Reliance is to be placed;-en tirely on application of calciuin-ar- senate, the virtue being in its utili ,zation in time to catch the weevil’s egg and sterlize it. The poison will be appplied during the early. olos- somiog season, and the sum of more than $2,000,000 will operate as the sinews of war.

And so it may go on indefinitely; excepting only those of sincere purpose. In any ’busy concern, one that intends to “get somewnere,” there • is only one thing to do, and there should be no delay about it, which is to discharge without ceremony the professional loafer. He may be ever earning the money that is paid to him, with all his loafing, but he will destroy the organiza­ tion in time by reason of his bad example. ‘ Parsing “Kiss.” A Careless People.

Davie county that actually believes Davie will never again go Republican? Next year will see old Davie redeem her­ self. One year ago*our streets were so bad that farmers had to leave their teams and autos on the outskirts of town and walk in. Now the roads . are so bad that our folks have to leave their autos on the iuskirts of the town and walk out. The editor of The : Record is neither sheriff of Davie county or county, welfare officer. When you have either praise or criticism to make to these officers you will find them in their offices or on the streets. The Reco d has enough troubles of its own, without grand­ mothering the entire county. Some Citizen, Democrat or Re- ] ublican seems to have circulated a report that the old officers of the county did misappropriate or swipe . about $20,000 of county, funds. A sad mistake, brethren—not a penny of the county’s money came up short when the last audit of the bo >1 s was completed on the day that the new officers took charge. Every once in a while a citizen takes a notion that he can put The Record out of business by stopping his paper. The Record editor has been a resident of Mocksville near­ ly sixteen years and has managed to keep the paper going despite the fact that a few of the citizens have trie'd the boycott scheme on several occasions. 'TM m The Record doesn’t know how many committees Representative Hendricks is on, but so far as we have been able to learn Mr. Hend­ ricks has not introduced a single ; bill since the legislature has been in session. So far as the county is concerned we have more laws al­ ready than can be enforced. What we need is some of tiie fool laws iepealed. Davie county has received from the Slate Highway Commission a- bout $175,000. This is a small a- mount to receive as our' share of the fifty million dollar . road bond issue. If the present legislature issues but fifteen millions more for roads, and Davie gets no more than she did.ont of the fiftv million then our prorata share will not build over a mile of hard surface road.

Mr H meycutt, an employee at Call’s barber shop was making a fire in the stove and had poured some oil in the stove, striking a match and throwing it on the oil. The fire did not start and Mr. Honeycutt took the jug and began pouring more oil in the stove, when a blaze came up and ran into the jug. The jug was thrown on the floor and ex­ ploded, setting the building on fire. The, fire department responded at once and by quick work the build­ ing was saved. Three barber chairs, three sets of clippers the mirrors and practically all of the barber equipment was destroyed. : Mr. Call says his loss is about $500 with no insurance. Temporary equipment has been placed in the old March store building on the square, until new. supplies can be. purchased. This is a heavy loss on' Mr. Call, "the damage to the building did not amount to much. League of Nations Dead. Wodrow Willsons Leaguse of N.itions is dead.

In the first position we should now be at war. In. the se­ cond position, we should be where we are now—out of the League. The wisdom of the Republican Congress that kept this country out of the League is vindicated by these devolopments and we are much better off today than we twould have otherwise been.

JCPERT HELPING FARMERS IN WAR ON BOLL WEEVIL Free Advice Available to Cotton Growers in Any Part of North. Carolina. ■ ■ • Nortb Carolina cotton farmers will be much interested to hear that Mr. J. 0. Taylor, special agent in boll weevil control work connected ,with the Government laboratory at Tallulah, La., has been employed by the F. S. Royster Gixano Com­ pany to devote his entire time to giving free advice- and demonstra­ tions in the State of North Car­ olina on what the United States Department of AgxficxxiUxre l’ecom- Xnends as the successful method of fighting the ravages of the boll weevil. For several years Mr. Taylor has been working on farms in the boll ^weevil infested sections of the South, poisoning weevils with calcium arsenate, under the treatment known as the Coad meth­ od, which was xvorked out by Pro­ fessor Coad, the Chief Bacteriolo­ gist in the Government Laboratory at Tallulah, La. Mr. (Taylor will work in North Carolina the entire year of 1923, and there will be absolutely no charges or fees in connection with the assistance that he is to render the farmers-of the state. He will in all instances work in conjunc­ tion with the county agents and the extension forces, and all re­ quests for his services sixould be made through" the local county agent. Between now and the grow­ ing season, Mr. Taylor is going to spend his time lecturing .on the subject of boll weevil poisoning wherever request is made for his Services. He will go anyxvhei'e in the state that the farmers ask for him, at no expense whatever to the farmers. Mr. Taylor is going to select test fields in txvclve or fifteen counties of North Carolina, which are infested with the boll weevil, and-will give a demonstration of the results of poisoning and the proper mc-thods of treatment. Remarkable results LwsucccssM cotton growing in boll weevil-dis­ tricts have been obtained by poison­ ing according to the Goad method which has been de'/clopetl and spon­ sored by the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture. No question of-the lioxxr is more serious to North Carolina fatiuers than the proper hiethod of attacking this enemy. The personal gdvied and attention of Mr. Taylor is freo to any fanner in North Carolina who wishes to poison his cottoxi this season.

SOME GOOD PUDDINGS An Inexpensive 1Pudding to make when there is a'good fire In the range is the following: Graham Pud­ ding.—Take. one- quarter of a cup­ ful of butter, one- half cupful of mo­ lasses, one-half teaspoonful o f soda, . one egg. one-half cupful of sour milk, one and one-half cupfuls of graham flour, one cupful of raisins and spices to taste. Mix well and steam four hours. Serve with: Egg Sauce.—Beat the white of an egg until stiff; add one cupful of sugar and the yolk, a pinch of salt, one-half teaspoonful of vanilla and one-half cupful of boiling milk just as it goes to the table. Orange Pudding.—Peel and slice four large oranges, removing all of the white skin. Arrange the sliced fruit in a glass baking dish; sprinkle with a cupful of sugar. Beat three egg yolks; add one-half cupful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of ,corn­ starch and one quart of milk. Cook this .until, smooth’ and thick and the starchy flavor is removed; cool and pour over the oranges. Bent the whites to a froth with a little sugar, cover the pudding and set in the oven to brown quickly. Too intense heat applied to fresh oranges will cause them to become bitter: Baked Indian Pudding.—Stir into one quart of boiling milk five table­ spoonfuls of corn meal and two-thirds of a cupful of molasses; cook for five minutes, then add one-half cupful of finely-chopped suet, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt to taste. Adfi a few raisins and sprinkle lightly with flour. Bake two to three hours. Carrot Pudding.—Take one cupful each of grated carrot and potato, one egg, one-half cupful of sugar, one-half capful of shortening, onehalf cupful of raisins, one teaspoonful of soda, one full cup of flour. Mix well; steam one hour. Serve with any desired sauce. Syllabubs.—Beat a pint of heavy cream until stiff; add one cupful of sugar; flavor half of the cream with lemon and the remainder with straw­ berry, and color pink. Fill sherbet glasses with alternate layers. Maple Fqdge.—Take two cupfuls of sugar, one-half cupful of. milk, one- third of a cupful of corn sirup, a tablespoonful of butter; boll to the soft-ball stage, add a teaspoonful of maple flavoring and coo). Stir and when stiff enough to drop from a spoon drop on buttered paper or bak­ ing sheet. Nuts may be added If de­ sired ; or the top of 'each candy may be decorated with half a walnut. ITS GREAT VALUE In Nursing Sick, Mrs. Patten States, She Often Redont* mends Tanlac—Thinks It Wonderful. *T firmly believe Tanlac Is what keeps me so well and strong,” is the high tribute paid the medicine, re­ cently, by Mrs. Edith J. Patten, widely known and esteemed resident of 580 Cumberland Ave.,- Portland, Me. “When I began the use of Tanlac I bad not. felt, .right for. a long time and was all run down. After persist­ ently taking the treatment considered best for such a condition I got no better. In fact I seemed to be growing worse hntil a lady friend in­ sisted on me trying Tanlac. “At that time I took two or three bottles and was perfectly well again. Since then I have taken a bottle two or three times a year and no one could feel better. I have done lots of nurs­ ing of , the sick, and since Tanlac did so much for me I have been the cause of many others taking It—always with splendid results. It is with this knowledge and experience that I.rec­ ommend Tanlac as a wonderful med­ icine.” ' Tanlac is for sale by all good drug­ gists. • Over 35 million bottles sold.— Advertisement.

The French authorities do not announce the date of the advance, but make no secret of the fact that they have decided to ex­ tend the occupation further eastward to coerce Germany into paying the Ruhr industries for the coal repara­ tions deliveries and as penalties for which they term the wilful failure ol Berlin to fulfill its undertakings. Concerning coal deliveries, which the Ruhr industrials have agreed to resume, France undertakes to pay the cost of labor and the salaries of the employes and miners; only the owners must look to Berlin for other than overhead exposures and the items which make up the price of coal deliv­ ered f. o. b. at the-French frontier. The French are prepared to assist the owners In collecting from Berlin to the extent of occupation of ‘the Bochum region and also further terri­ tory eastward later, should Germany fail to come to terms. They will payx the miners’ salaries from the proceeds of the tax on coal, forqaerly assessed by th 6 Reich government, which the French have decided to collect for themselves. They will levy a tax on every ton of\oal shipped from the l>1 IiUj, until tral countries. The percentage rep­ resenting the tax has not been fixed.

STRIVING FOR WINTER EGGS Room, Warmth, Ventilation and Light, Are Among Most Essential Fac­ tors With Hens. -■ The Missouri poultry house original­ ly designed several years ago by the poultry department of the'Missouri ' College .of Agriculture,, and now in general use in many states and in the Dominion of Canada, allows two .and two-thirds square feet of floor space for each lien. One nest is provided for every sis hens, and enough roosts are supplied to give each ,lien a re­ served seat eight inches apart. This extremely practical poultry house has a number of special fea­ tures which have proved helpful in getting high winter production. Light is admitted from all directions, by means of six-light glass windows, two in front, two in each side and one in the rear. There are, therefore, no dark comers in . this house. Since light comes in from all sides the hens scratch iii all directions and tut Htter never piles up. A 30-inch wire-covered opening,-one foot from the floor and extending from each side of the door tlie entire width of the front, gives the Missouri poul­ try house good ventilation. During the winter the success ■ of ventilation of this type depends npon having the east, west, and north sldes-'and the roof entirely' air-tight so that wind will drive into the house only a short distance and never back to the roosts which are on the north side. There is a gradual movement of the air from the Inside out, thus insuring/an abun­ dance of ventilation without drafts. ■ Tlie straw loft is another distinctive feature. Joists or collar beams are placed in the house just high enough to afford head room.

Take a dose of the danger­ ous drug Ipnight and tomorrow you may lose a day’s work. Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile crashes into it, break­ ing it up. ’ This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you are sluggish and uall knocked out,” if your liver is torpid and bowels con­ stipated or you have headache, dizzi­ ness, coated tongue, if bfeath is bad or stomach sour, just tiy a spoonful of harmless Dodson’s Liver Tone to- night. Here!s my guarantee—Co to any drug store and get a bottle of Dod­ son’s Liver Tone for a few cents. Take a spoonful and if it doesn’t straighten you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous I want w u to go back to the store and get your money. Dodson’s Liver Tone is destroying the sale of calomel because it is en­ tirely vegetable, therefore it can not salivate or make yon sick. ■^ H e a lth B rings I DiacoveryllIiat Has I of Good Augusta, Ga.—“My 'was kept well ever SinJ member by using I remedies.

MANY OBB JOBS FOR FARMER Life of Machinery Can €asily Be In­ creased From Five to fifteen , Years by Repairing and Re- > placing Broken Parts. It Is a common idea that only a skilled mechanic can do shop work on the farm, but this is not the case, ac- :ording to H. H. Fenton, industrial specialist of the Kansas State Agricul­ tural college home study service. In a bulletin entitled “The Farm Shop,” by Mr. Fenton, some useful hints for the farmer-mechanic are .offered. “The farmer ought not to attempt to shoe his horses without experience,” the bulletin says, “but he can repair and replace broken bolts and clevises and fit ax and hoe handles without the necessity of going to town. At the home shop there is no waiting your turn, but each job is a special order to be done at Its own proper time. Longer Life for Machines. "The average life of uncared-for machinery Is less than live years, but this can be increased to fifteen years or- more if properly housed and effec­ tively repaired in an emergency. “The shop should be In a special building, which will be a safeguard against a spread of fire, more or less liable to start from a spark from the forge.

C. THE KILLER AGAINl 6YNOFSIS.—At the death of hto foBter father, Byuce Duncan, In an eastern city, receives a mysterious message, sent by a Mrs. Ross, sum­moning him peremptorily to south­ ern Oregon—to meet "Linda.*’ Bruce has vivid but baffling recol­ lections ot Ms childhood In an or­ phanage, before his adoption by Newton Duncan, with the- girl U n­do. At his destination. Trail's End, news that a message has been sent to Bruce is received with marked displeasure by a man introduced to the reader as "Eimon.” Leaving the train, Bruce Is astonished at his apparent familiarity with' thb surroundings, though to his knowl­ edge he Iuis never been there. On the way, "Simon” warns him. to give up his quest and return E ast Bruce refutes. Mrs. Ross, aged and lnfirin, welcomes him with emotion. She hastens him on his way—the end of "Pliie-Needle Trail.” Bruce finds his childhood playmate, Unda. The girl tells him ■of wrongs committed by an enemy clan on her family, the Rossea XAnds occupied by the clan were stolen from the Rosses, and the family, with the exception of Aunt Elmira (Mrs. Ross) and herself, wiped out <by assassination, Bruce's father, Matthew Folger, was one of the victims. His mother had fled with Bruce and Unda. The girl, while ■ small, had been kidnaped from the orphanage and brought to the mountains Linda's father had deeded his lands tp Matthew Folger, but the agreement, which would confute the enemy's claims to the property, had been lost Bruce’s mountain blood responds to the call of the blood-feud. A giant tree, the Sentinel Pine, In front of Linda’s cabin, seems to Bruce's excited Imagination to be endeav­ oring to convey a message. Bruce sets out In search of a trapper named Hudson, a witness to the agreement between Linda's father and Matthew Folger. A gigantic grizzly, known as the Killer. Is the., terror of the vicinity. CHAPTER XIV —5— Simon Turner had given Dave very definite instructions concerning his embassy to Hudson. "The first thing this Bruce will do.” Simon had said, ■‘is to hunt up Hudson—the one living man that witnessed that agreement between Hoss and old Folger. One reason is that, he’ll want to verify Linda’s story. The next is to per­ suade the old man to go down to the courts witfi him as his witness. And wiiat you hare to do is line him up for our side first.” “Ton think—” Dave’s eyes wan­ dered about the room, "you think that’s the best way?” “I wouldn’t be tellin’ you to do it if I didn’t think so.” Simon laughed— a sudden, grim syllable. “Dave, you’re a hloodthh'sty devil. I see what you’re thinking of—of a safer way to keep him from telling. But you know the word I sent out. ‘Go easy!’’ That’s the wisest course to follow at present. The valley people pay more attention to such things than they used to; the fewer the killings, the wiser we will be. Xf he’ll keep quiet for the hun­ dred let him have It in peace.” Dave hadn't forgotten. But his fea­ tures were sharper and more ratlike than ever when he came in sight of Hudson’s camp. Just after the fall of darkness of the second day out. The trapper was cooking his simple meal— a blue grouse frying in his skillet, coffee boiling, and fiapjack batter ready for the moment the grouse was done. Dave’s thoughts returned to the hundred dollars in his pocket—a good sum In the hills.* A brass rifle cartridge, such as he could fire, In the thirty-thirty that he carried In the hollow of his arm, cost only about six cents. Tlie net gain would be—the figures flew quickly through his mind— ninety-nine dollars and ninety-four cents; quite a good piece of business for Dave. But the trouble was that Simon might find out. The word had gone but, for the present at least, to- “go easy.” Such little .games as oc­ curred to Dave now—as be watched the trapper in the firelight with one hundred dollars of the clan’s money in his own pocket—had been prohibit­ ed until further notice. The thing looked so simple that Dave squirmed all over with annoy­ ance. It hurt him tp think that the Iiundred dollars that he carried was to be passed over, without a wink of an eye, to this bearded trapper; and the’ only return for it was to be a promise that Hudson would not tes­ tify in Bruce’s behalt And a hundred dollars was real money ! Just a little matter of a single glance down his rifle barrel at the figure in the silhou­ ette of the fire glow—and a half-ounce of pressure on the. hair trigger. Half Jesting with himself, he dropped on one knee and raised the weapon. The trapper did not guess his presence; The biood. leaped in Dave’s veins. ■ . But he caught himself with a wrench. He realized that Simon had spoken true when he said that the old days were gone, that the arm of the law reached farther than formerly, and it might even stretch to this far place. He remembered Simon’s in­ structions. “The quieter we can do these tilings, the better,” the clan leader had said; “If we can get through to October thirtieth with no killings, the safer it is for us. ' Go. easy, Dave. Sound this Hudson out'- If he’ll keep still for a hundred, let him have it In peace.” Dave slipped his rifle Into the hol­ low of his arm and continued on down the trail. He didn’t try to stalk. In a moment Hudson heard his. step and .looked up. They met In a circle of AreKchL It is not the mountain way to frater­ nize quickly, nor are the mountain men -quick to show astonishment. Hudson had not seen another human being since Ills last visit to the settle* ments. Yet bis voice Indicated no surprise at this visitation. “Howdy,” he grunted. "HoWy," Dave replied. "How about ii “Help yourself. Supper just ready.” Dave helped himself to the food of the man that, a moment before, he would,have slain; and in the light of .the high fire that followed the meal, he got down to the real business of the visit. “I suppose you’ve forgotten that llttle> de.ed you witnessed between old Mat S-Olger and Hoss—twenty years ago,” Dave began easily, his pipe be­ tween his teeth. Hudson turned with a cunning glit­ ter in his eyes. - Dave saw it and grew bolder.’ “Who wants me to for­ get it?” Hudson demanded. “I ain’t said that anybody wants you to," Dave ’ responded. “I asked you if you had.” ’ Hudson was still a moment, strok­ ing absently his beard. “If you \yant to know,” he said, “I ain’t forgotten. But there wasn’t just a deed. There was an agreement, too.” “I know all about that agreement,” Dave confessed. “You do, eh? So do I. I ain’t likely to forget” Dave studied him closely. “What good is it going to do you to remem­ ber?” he demanded. “I ain’t saying that it’s going to do me any good. At present I ain’t got nothing against the Turners. They’ve always been alt right to me. What’s between them and the Bosses is past and done—although I know just in what way Folger held that land and no transfer from, him to you was le­ gal. But that’s all part Of the past As long as the Turners continue to be my friends I don’t see why anything should be said about it" Dave speculated. It was wholly plain that the old man had not yet heard of Bruce's return. There was no need to mention him. “We’re glad you are our friend,” Dave went on. “But we don’t expect no one to stay friends with us unless they benefit to some small extent, by i t How* many furs do you hope to take this year?” “Not enough to pay to pack out. Mflybe two hundred dollars in bount­ ies before New Year—coyotes and wolves.” * “Then maybe fifty or seventy-five dollars, without bothering to set the traps, wouldn’t come in so bad.”. “It wouldn’t eome in bad, but it doesn’t buy much these days. A hun­ dred would be better.” “A hundred It is,” Dave told him with finality. The eyes above the dark beard shone in the firelight. The money changed hands. They sat a long time, deep in their own thoughts. “All we ask,” : Dave' salIL "is that you don’t take sides against us.” “I’U remember. Of course you want me,'in case I’m ever subpoenaed, to re­ call signing the deed itself.” “Yes, we’d want you to testify to that." ‘‘Of course.” -They chuckled together In the dark­ ness. Then they turned to the blan­ kets. “i’ll show you another trail out to­ morrow." Hudson told him. "It comes Dave Helped Himself to the Food of the Mari That, a Moment Before, He Would Have Slain. into the glen that you passed to­ night—the canyon that the Killer has been . using lately for. a ' hunting ground.” CHAPTER XV . The Killer had had an unsuccessful night. .He had Waited the-long hours through at the mouth of the trail, but only the Little People-i-such as the rabbfts and similar foik that hardly: constituted a single, bite In his great 'jaws—had come his way. Now it was morning and it looked as if he would have to go hungry.; He started to stretch his'great muscles, intending to : leave his ambush.. But all at once B y E D IS O N M A R S H A L L A u t h o r o f " T h e V o ic e o f th e P a c k ” he froze again Into a lifeless gray patch In the thickets. There were light steps on tlie trail. Again they were the steps of deer—but not of the great, wary elk this time, Instead It was just a fawn, or a yearling doe at least, such a creature as had not yet learned to suspect every turn in the trail. The forest gods had been good to him, after all. He peered through the.thickets, and In a moment more he had a glimpse of the spotted skin. ■ It was. almost too easy. But even as the Killer watched, the prize was simply taken out of his mouth. A gray wolf—a savage' old male that also had just finished an unsuccessful hunt—had been stealing through the thickets in search of a- lair, and he came out on the trail not fifty feet distant, halfway between the bear and the fawn. The one was al­ most as surprised us the other. The fawn turned with a frightened bleat and darted away; the wolf swung Into pursuit. The bear lunged forward with a howl of rage. He leaped into the trail mouth, then ran as fast as he could in pursuit of the running wolf. He was too engaged to stop to think that a grizzly bear has never yet been able to overtake a wolf, once the trim legs got well into action. At first he couldn’t think.about anything; he had been cheated too, many times. His first impulse was. one of tremendous and overpowering wrath—a fury that meant death to the first living crea­ ture that he m et But in a single second he realized that this wild chase was fairly good tactics, after all. The chances for a meal were still rather good. 'The fawn and the wolf were In the open now, and It was wholly evident that the gray hunter would overtake the quarry In another moment It was true that the Killer would miss the pleasure of slaying his own game— the ecstatic blow to the shoulder and the bite to the throat that followed it. In this case, the wolf would do that part of the work for, him. It was just a simple matter of driving the crea­ ture away from his dead. But at that instant fate took a hand In the merry little chase. To the fawn, it was nothing but a -sharp clang of metal behind him and an answering shriek of pain—sounds that in its terror it heard but dimly. But it was an unlooked-for and tragic reality to the wolf. His leap was suddenly ar­ rested in mid-air, and he was 'hurled to the ground with stunning force. Cruel metal teeth had seized his leg, and a strong chain held him when he tried to escape. He fought it with desperate savagery. The fawn leaped on to safety. But there was no need, of the grizzly continuing its pursuit. Everything had turned out quite well for him, after all. A wolf is ever so much.- more fill­ ing than any kind of seasonal fawn; and the old gray pack leader was im­ prisoned and helpless in one of Hud­ son’s traps.• •**•* * In the first gray of morning, Dave Turner started back toward his home "I’ll go with you to the forks in the trail,” Hudson told him. “I want to take a look at some of my traps, any­ how." ' At the same hour—as soon as it was light enough (to see—Bruce was finish-' ing his breakfast In preparation for the last lap of his journey. He had passed the night by a spring on a long ridge almost In eye range of Hudson’s camp. Now he was preparing to dip down into the Killer’s glen. Turner and Hudson followed up the little creek. The first of Hudson's sets proved empty. The second was about a Jurn in the creek, and a wall of brush made it Impossible for him to tell at a dis­ tance whether or not he had made a catch. But when still a quarter of a mile distant, Hudson heard a sound that he thought he recognized. It was a high, sharp, agonized bark that dimmed Into a low whine, “I believe I’ve got a coyote or a wolf up there," he said. They hastened their steps. , The whole picture loomed suddenly before their eyes. There was no wolf in the trap. The steel had sprung, certainly, but only a hideous fragment of a foot remained between the jaws. The bone had been broken sharply off, as a man might break a match in his fingers. There was no living wolf. Life had gone out of the gray body many minutes before. The two men saw ail these things as a background only—dim details about/the central figure. But the thing that froze them in their tracks with terror was the great, gray form of the Killer,, not twenty feet distant, beside the man­ gled body of the wolf. The events that followed thereafter came in such quick succession as - to seem simultaneous. For one fraction: of an instant all three figures stood’ motionless, -the two men stariug, the grizzly' half-leaning over his prey, his uead turned, his little red eyes full of hatred. He uttered one hoarse, sav­ age note,-a souiid in which all his hatred and his fury and his savage power were made manifest, whirled with lncredibte speed, and charged. Hudsra did not even have time to turn. There was no defense; his gun wa? strapped ..on his back, and even if it had been In his hands, its bullet would not have mattered the sting of a bee In honey-robbing. The only possible chance of breaking that dead­ ly charge lay In the thirty-thirty deer rifle In Dave’s arms; but the craven who held it did not even fire. He was standing Just below the outstretched limb of a tree, and the weapon fell from his hands as he swung up into the limb. The fact that Hudson stood -weaponless, ten feet away In the clear­ ing; did not deter him In the least No human flesh could stand against that charge. The vast paw fell with resistless force;, and no need -arose for a second blow; The trapper’s body was struck down as if felled by a meteor, 'and the power of the impact forced it deep Into tlie carpet of pine needles. The savage creature turned, the white fangs caught the light In the open mouth. Tbe head lunged toward the man’s shoulder.' No man may-,say what agony Hud­ son would have', endured In the last few seconds .of his life if the Killer had been given,time and opportunity. His usual way ' was to linger long, sharp fangs closing again and again until all living likeness was destroyed. He Opened His Eyes and Looked With Some Wonder lnto Bruce's Face. The blood lust was upon him; there would have been no mercy to the dy­ ing creature In ,the pine needles. Yet it transpired that Hudson’s flesh was not to know those rending fangs a second time. On the hillside above, a stranger to this land had dropped to his knee in the shrubbery, his rifle lifted to the level of his eyes. It was Bruce, who had come in time to see the charge through a rift In the trees. The bear was on Hudson, and the man bad gone down, before Bruce even interpreted him. Then it was Just a gray patch, a full three hundred yards away. His instinct was to throw the gun to. his shoulder and fire with­ out aiming; yet he conquered it with an iron will. But he did move quickly. - He^drppped .to. Jiis knee- the very sec­ ond-that the gun leaped to his shoul­ der. He seemed' to know that from a lower position the target would be more clearly revealed. The finger pressed back against the trigger. The distance was far; Bruce was riot a practiced rifle shot, and it bon dered on the miraculous that his lead went anywhere near the. bear’s body. And iIt was true that the bullet did not reach a vital (place, it Stung1Iike a wasp at the Killer’s flank, however, cuttirig a shallow flesh wound. But it was enough to take his dreadful atten­ tion from the mortally wounded trap­ per In the pine needles. He whirled about, growling furious­ ly and biting at the wound. Then he stood still; turning his gaze first to the pale face of Dave Turner thirty feet above him in the pine. The eyes glowed in fury and hatred. He had found then out at last; they died even more easily than, the fawn. He started to turn back to the fallen, and the rifle spoke again. it was a complete miss, this time; yet tlie bear leaped in fear when the bullet, thwacked into the dust beside him. ,He did not wait for a, third. His caution suddenly returning to him, and perhaps his anger somewhat sati- ■ated by the blow he had dealt Hudson, he crashed into the security of- the thicket, Bruce waited a. single instant, hop­ ing for another glimpse of the crea­ ture-; then ran down to aid Hudson But in driving the bear from the trap­ per’s- helpless body he had already given; all the aid that he'could. Un­ derstanding came quickly. He had arrived only In time for the Depar­ ture—just a glimpse of a light as it faded. ' The blow had been more than any human being cduld survive ; even uo\y Hudson was entering upofi that strange calm which often, so merci­ fully, Immediately precedes death. ’ He opened his eyes and looked with some wonder Into Bruce’s face. The light in them wus-dimming, fading like a twilight, yet there, was indication of neither confusion nor delirium. j There was, however j some indication of perplexity at the peculiar turn af­ fairs had taken. . “You’re not Dave Turner,” be said wonderingly. Dim though the voice was, there was considerable emphasis In the tone. Hudson seemed quite sure of - this point, wiietiier or not’ he knew any: thing concerning the dark gates he was dbout to enter. He wouldn’t have spoken greatly different if he bad been sitting in perfect health before his own camp fire and the shadow was now already so deep his eyes could scarcely penetrate i t - “No,” Bruce answered. “Dave Tur­ ner is up a tree. He didn’t even wait to shoot" • “Of course he wouldn’t ” Hudson spoke with assurance. The words dimmed at the end, and he half-closed his eyes as if he were too sleepy to stay awake longer. Then Bruce saw a strange thing. He saw, unmistak­ able as the sun in ,the sky, the signs of a curious struggle in the man’s face. The trapper^-a moment before sink­ ing into the calm of death—was fight­ ing desperately for a few moments of respite. There could be no other ex­ planation. And be won it at last,— an interlude of half a dozen breaths, “Who are you?” he.whispered. Bruce bowed his head until his,ear was close to the lips. “Bruce Folger, he answered,—for the first time In his knowledge speaking his full name. “Son of Matthew Folger who lived at Trail’s End long ago.” The man still struggled.' “I knew it,” he said. "I saw it—In your face. I see—everything now. Listen—can you hear me?” “Yes.” “I just did a wrong—there’s a hundred dollars In my pocket that I just got for doing it. I made a prom­ ise—to lie to you. Take the money— It ought to be yours, anyway—and hers; and use it toward fighting the wrong. It will go a little way.” “Yes.” Bruce looked him full in the eyes. “No matter about the money. What did you promise Turner?” “That I’d lie to you. Grip my arms with your hands—till it hurts. I’ve only got one breath morel Your fa­ ther held those lands only in trust—the Turners’ deed, is forged. And the secret agreement that I' witnessed is hidden—” . The breath seemed to go out of the man. Bruce shook him by the shoul­ ders. Dave, still in the tree, strained to hear the rest. “Yes—where?” “It’s hidden—just—out—” The words were no longer audible to Dave, and what followed Bruce also strained to hear In vain. The lips ceased mov­ ing., The shadow grew In the eyes, and the Ilds flickered down over them. A traveler had gone. Bruce got up, a strange, cold light in his eyes. He glanced up. Dave Turner was climbing slowly down the tree. Bruce made six strides and seized his rifle. The effect on Dave was ludicrous. He clung fast to the tree limbs, as if he thought a bullet—like a grizzly’s claws—could hot reach him there. Bruce laid-the gun behind him, then stood waiting with his own weapon resting In his arms. '. ,,‘Come down, Dave,” he commanded. “The bear is gone.” Dave crept down the trunk and baited at its base. He studied the cold face before him. • “Better hot try nothing,” he advised hoarsely.' “Why not?” Bruce asked. “Do you think I’m afraid of a coward?” The man started at the words; his head bobbed backward as if Bruce had struck him beneath the jaw with, his fist. ’ “People don’t call the Turners cow­ ards and walk off with it,” . the man told him. “On, the lowest coward!” . Bruce’ said between set teeth. “The yellow­ est, mongrel coward! Your own con- federate—and you had to drop your gun and run up a tree. You might have stopped-the bear’s charge." Dave's face twisted in a scowl. “You’re hrave enough now. Wait to see’.what-happens later. Give me my gun. I’m going to go." “You can go, but you don’t get your g u n .I ’ll fill , you full of lead ,if you try to touch It.” Dave looked up with some care. He wanted to know,for certain if this tenderfoot meant what he said. The man was blind In some things, ,his vision was twisted and dark, but he made no mistake about the look on the cold, set face before him. Bruce’s finger was curled about the trigger, and it looked to Dave as if, it itched to exert further pressure. 'I don’t see why I spare you, any­ way,” Bruce went on. His tone was self-reproachful. '“God knows I hadn’t ’ ought to—remembering who and what you are. If you’d only give me one little bit of provocation—" Dave saw lurid lights growing in the man’s eyes; and all at once‘a con­ clusion came to him. He decided ne o make no further effort to regain tue gun. His life was rather, precious to him,' strangely, and it was wholly plain that a dread^and terrible passion was slowly creeping over his enemy. He could see it in the darkening face, the tight grip of the hands on the rifle stock.- His oivn sharp features grew more cunning. “You ought to be glad I.didn’t stop the bear with my rifle” he said hurriedly. “I had Hudson bribed—you wouldn’t have found out something that you did. find out if he hadn’t lain here dying. You wouldn’t have learned—” ' . But the sentence died In the raidai, Bruce made answer to it, a straight. r'-^™ out blow with his fist, with all ^ strength behind It, In the very CHAPTER XVI DaveTurnertraYeleilharfl and he reached Simon's door just ^ fora sundown of the second day. Bruce was still a full two hours dfe tant. But Dave did not stay to knock. It was ch'ore-time, and he thought he would find Simon In his barn, super vising the - feeding and care of the live stock. He had guessed right, and the two men had a moment’s talk in the dusky passage behind the stalls. “I've-brought news.” Dave said. Simon made no answer at first. The saddle pony in the stall immediately In front of them, frightened at Dare's unfamiliar figure; had crowded, trem­ bling, against his manger. Simon’s red eyes watched, him; then he ut­ tered a short, oath. He took two strides into the stall and seized the halter rope In his - huge, muscular hand. Three times he jerked it with a peculiar, quartering pull, a curbing that might have been ineffective by a man of - ordinary strength, but with the incomprehensible. might of the great forearm behind it was really terrible punishment Dave ' thought for a moment his brother would break the animal’s neck; the whites began to show about the soft, dark pupils of Its eyes, The strap over the head broke with the fourth pull; then the horse recoiled, plunging and terrified, into the opposite comer of the stall. Simon leaped with shattering power at the creature's shoulders, his huge arms encircled Its neck,' his shoulders heaved, and he half-threw it to the floor. Then, as J t staggered to rise, his heavy fist fla'iled against its . neck. Again and again he struck, and in the half-darkness of the stable it was a dreadful thing to behold. The man’s fury, always quickly aroused, was upon him; bis brawny'form moved with the agility of a panther. Even Dave, whose shallow eyes were usually wont to feast oh cruelty, viewed the scene with some alarm. It wasn’t that he was moved’by the agony.of the horse. But he did remember that horses host money, and Simon seemed determined to kill the animal before his passion was spent , . The horse cowered, and in a mo­ ment more it was hard to remember he was a member of a noble, high- spirited breed—a swift runner, brainy as a' dog, a servant faithful and worthy. He stood' quiet at last his head hanging low, knees bent eyes curiously sorrowful and dark. Simon fastened the broken strap about his neck, gave it one more jerk that al­ most knocked the animat off his feet then turned back to Dave. Except for a higher color in his cheeks, darker lights In his eyes, and an almost im­ perceptible quickening of his breath­ ing, it did not seem as_ if he had moved. “You’re always bringing news," he said. “If it’s as important as some of the other news you’ve brought don’t take my time." “All right," theC other replied sul­ lenly. “You don’t have to hear it. But I’m telling you it’s of real Importance this time—and some time you’ll find oiiL” He scowled into the dark face. “But suit yourself.” Dave walked clear to the door, then turned. "Don’t be, a fool, Simon,’" be urged. “Listened what I have to tell you. Bruce Folger knows where that secret agreement is.” For once In bis life Dave got a response of sufficient- emphasis to satisfy him. His brother whirled, his whole expression undergoing an im­ mediate and startling change. If there was one emotion that Dave had never seen on Simon's face It was fear—and he didn’t know for certain that he saw it now. ' But there was alarm—unmistakable—and surprise, too. “What do you mean?” he demanded. “Out with it!” His tone was really urgent now, not insolent as usual. “Good Lord, man, don’t you know that if Bruce gets that down to the settlements before the thirtieth of next month we’re lost—and nothing in this world can save us?- We can’t drive him off, like we drove the Bosses. There’s too much law down In the valleys. If he’s got that paper, there’s only one thing to do. Help me saddle a horse.” “Wait-a m inute.. I didn’t say he had it I only said he knew where it was. He’s still an hour or two walk from here, toward LlJtle river, and ■ if we have to wait for him on the trail, we’ve got plenty . of time. And of course I ain’t quite sure he does know where it is.” DAVIE ARGEST CIRCULATION EVER PUBLISHED IN CCAL AND PERS f:«3. (/.Si I Cotton is 27 V2 .ent| f W .M . Essie, oi fas in town Friday E . H .

Captain Laughinghouse is be- ^ hever in the law of Moses— 'the i land cannot be cleansed of the blood shed therein but by the blood ^ o f him that shed it.” ,He submjfs ^ bat all the Census reports authori.- tativeh demonstrate that 1Jthe eakemng of the death penalty- in ^ civ! l/ed States results in a return -^ to conditions of barbarism.” Dis- t ^cussmgjthe feature of humanity of -S- I caPlta* punishment, he adverts to contcutloU of its enemies that U1 nidu^ States it is founded on ,the principles of vengeace,” and submits the answer made many ears ago by the great jurist, Daniel ? e^ster' that the criminal law is ot founded on the principles of eOgeauce. “ It does -not .punish at it may reflect surffering., The uuianity of the law feels , and re­ sts every pain it causes and hour of restraint it imposes. And more deeply still every life it forfeits. But it uses evil This is its object. When the guilty are not punished the law has failed of its purpose, the safety of the innocent are en­ dangered. AU countries that have abolished it proved that it doubless and trebles crimes. ” The Legislature is further being referred to the opinion of J ustice Harlan, of the United States Sup reme Court, that’ “capital punish­ ment is proper iii all cases of ag- gravaredmurder.” Is isplainthat the abolitionists are going to en­ counter opposition their designs.— Charlotte Observer. Life Oa The Farm. The Moultrie, Ga., Observerhas this to say about life on the farm in Georgia: “There was a time when living in the country was a sort of backwoods life. ' That is not noiv the case. . You live in the coun­ try, send your children to the high school, attend church and Sunday school run in town to the shows and special meetings, enjoy-good shows and have about you many comforts that are peculiar to coun­ try life. We'will soon have quite as much education and culture in the country as we have in town. The work of the farm is becoming less irksome all the while. Mach­ inery is taking the place of man­ power.” Life, on the farm in the South is still not as attractive as it can be made, but the progress al ready achieved gives every reason for great hopefulness.regarding.the, future. No M ore Judges Needed. We see that there is and has been an effort made in some parts of the State to establish more judicial dis­ tricts and thereby create more judges. ■ > _ ■ There is no necessity for any.such thing now—what we ueed is for any such thing now—what we need is for the judges that we now have to work and the lawyers to have their cases ready when court con­ venes so that there need be no pull­ ing up of cases on any of the Sup­ erior COurt dockets. Every time the Legislaturemeets there is more on the foot to create more offices and to spend more of the people’s money 111 order to carry on the public business of the State' —and also an effort to increase the -salary of the officers that the State now has on-the pay roll—and the folks back home have to pay the bills.—Cai awba News -Enterprise. ' G etting-Paid. UnCle Sam says the average American farmer will this year get a net income of $465 , or a little more-than a dollar a day.:- This does not represent the pay of the hisbbdcL ar.d father But, includes the earning of bimself, his wife and all of the children. As we once heard a citizen'of Vass say, “it is the pay getting up before daylight and working until dark, in the mud of the barnyard, in tlie-cold of the windy fields.” W ell, that’s one way-to look "at it. But we’ll ven- tare the guess that the average farmi r will have more nioney left at the end of the year than the average shop maujin town or city who gets five times as much, The farmer generally . gets his living out of the soil in addition to what is regarded as net. He may not handle as much money; but he hrs a free spirit, can. control- his own hours, and know that double duty during’the busy season has some­ thing of personal- reward. Besides that, lie, is arthe bottom of all pros-; perity in the country, and that is really more to be valued than see ^iiy Democrats Gained In Sorry Copnty Last Election. Mr. Editor:--Some of the De­ mocratic paper are very much elated and are publishing that "Surry county weut Deuocratic. ..Out of the eleven offices in the couuty'the Democrats got four. W hydid they get the four? I can tell you why. First, the Republican par*y split at the primary and did not get togeth­ er.

In / * * some precincts .the Registrars on- vassed the precincts with the books while some used lists of names sent in. In some precinct more ballots were counted out of the box than was recorded voting. Some names were put on the • registration books after books had been closed, while at other precincts people were al. lowed to vote that was not register ed at|the precinct. I know at one precinct the Democrats had'a judge of election whose own uncle was a candidate for a high county office, and at that precinct said uncle ran ahead of his ticket more than-one hundred votes, so you can readily see that it was not Democratic principles that carried.

Thei League a Dead Issue. Some Washington correspond­ ents who were'particularly friendly to President Wilson during his ad­ ministration send stories to their papers in which they see Wilson as the leader of the Democratic party in 1924 and the revived League of Nations as the issue, It is difficult to see how the; most ardent, ad­ vocate of the league, can gain any crumbs of comfort from the last election.- ' ■ ✓ The League.

In the three years that remain before this colossal subsidy can be repealed its beueficiaries will re­ ceive an estimated total of $10 ,- 800 ,0 0 0 ,000 . . . It would be peculiarly appropri­ ate to make these tariff beneficiar­ ies divide with the men and women who went to France when the black clouds of disaster overhung civili­ zation and American liberty, and who dispelled them with the sun­ shine of their heroism and sacrifice. • This is not an impracticable idea It can be formulated into-law that can be administered.. The plan is analogous to that adopted by the British, government for raising re­ venue to . carry on the - war, Au average of the netjearnings of all forms of business in Great Britain was ascertained for a period pre­ ceding the outbreak ot the war and all profits in excess of that average were treated as war profits and tax­ ed' 80 per cent. By this practical and simple plan the British government repressed the war profiteer and forced those who • profited by the war to contrib ute 80 per ceni of those profits to the national defense fund' instead of permitting excessive profits aris­ ing from abnormal conditions crea— Led by thdwar to bex retained for private ends. Mr. McAdoo shows that he is as generous toward the World War soldier as the administration which disapproved tne proposed raise in the soldier’s pay from sixteen to thirty dollars a mouth.

Tliemew tariff law will yield less than' a half billion dollais more in revenues than the old tariff law, and that revenue willgo into tne United States Treas­ ury instead of into the pockets of the old law. Ifcause an’ in- in- profits to tions” of $3 ,6 00 ,000,000 per year is the cheapest kind of tommyrot. Mr. McAdoo doesn’t know that it will cost any one but the importeis and alien producers as much as a plugged nickel. His utter insin­ cerity in advocacy of a bonus for the soldier is demonstrate?' by his suggestion of a fake means of rais­ ing the money. ' The “analogy’.’ for the British method of raising war revenues, to which Mr. McAdoo refers, could Have Ikh suppled H ie Hr,- Mc- Adoo was Secretary of the Treas­ ury, and, as lie didn’t propose it then, Iiis gabble about it now is be­ lated.. If the profits of “trusts, monopolies and combinations” dur­ ing the next few years were to bj taxed to :he extent of the excess oyer the figures for the period when Mr. McAdco was ruuning the Treasury, the government would have'to stand for an assessment. While suggesting imaginary meth­ ods of paying the bonus, there were a number of schemes Mr. McAdoo might have thought of. We might pay the soldiers half of the billions Mr. McAdoo lost for the governnient while he- was jim- niing up the railroads and ruining the transportation system’ of the United States. We might pay the soldiers a per­ centage of the profits made on cost- plu's contracts during the period of prosperity for some people^which prevailed while Mr. McAdoo and Barney Baruch-were running things at Washington. importers, as under.

If the farmer grows only one crop he is rushed with work part of the time and has nothing to do the rest, of the year. His selling times too far apart—he has to’go in debt and— get hard up between sales, He has to rush the crop to m arket for what ever it will bring as soon as it i 3 harvested to pay his debt wether he wants to or not. If the farmer grows only one-crop and the the price is low he doesn’t get much—if the crop fails, be gets nothing. If he grows only one-crop he spends only one crop about 100 days producing it but he has to eat 365 days.

The present manager of the Ban­ ner has neyer seen the good- of a contest by newspapers to increase their subscription list,~and in the end knows that it works to the de­ triment of a paper. We know of papers that have given away autos, pianos, etc., and, when'the final wind up of the contest came to an end there was hard feelings, strife was engendered, and oh some oc­ casions lawsuits were entered into, paper’s subscription list should de­ pend upon the merits of a paper as a disseminator of news, as giving sotneting worth while to its patrons. The Banner thinks it unwise to of­ fer accicjgnt policies, policies that do not come up to the owner when he gets hurt in other than a rail­ road or auto accident. It does not believe these pifele letter pictures, gathering the number of objects that begin with a certian letter, for in the end there are disappoint­ ments, and a disappointed fellow says hard things. Many people subscribe for a paper in a contest With a hope they will get some re­ turn, win, the capital prize, or something ehe, when they do not want the paper, and in - some in­ stances are not able to pay the sub­ scription asked. The Banner's subsciption list is growing, and it has never made any inducements to any one to subscribe and never will. It has friends all over the good county of, Hnmphreys who all speak a good word for it. Now is I he time to get your neighbor and friends 1 0 subscribe. ’^- :Belzoni (Miss.) Banner.

We believe that every bond is$ue should be submitted to the people for thetr approval and that the vote should be taken against the regular registration as that would necessi­ tate the advocate for bonds to im- form the people for what purpose bonds were to be issued, and whether they approved, them or not As it'is, a special registration is or­ dered, a few vote and the bonds are carried by uminoritv. "In other instances by special legislative en actniunt, governing bodies are privileged to issue bonds at their discretion and without any vote at all. AU this is not a prudent nor wise policy. The people pay the tax for interest on bonds and should be priviliged to appr 6 ve or disapprove all bond issues.

So far as our recollection goes we never heard a political paper express itself so decidedly against profane swearing until we saw it in The Davie Record It seeuis to be a de licate subject for the churches and church papers to cry down s,ueh a shameful habu; but when the politi­ cal .papers take up the subject it should be a stimulant to its churches and all their papers to take a more decided stand against the evil; and it. should be a.biting reproof to all thote who are guilty of the habit for it is a habit and a silly one for a man who is supposed to have good sense to. break out in profanity in the midst of his be3t friends and all that is good; it does not make the thing or person cursed any worse or the profane man any better, but rather makes him more • odious. If we must swear to what we say, does it not imply that we must do so to inake our hearers believe what we say. Cursing is neither honor­ able or profitable;, then it must be a shame for any man to be profane. Parents often forbid their children to curse or even to use bad words when they are guilty of a language that is a shame for them or; their children. Listen at your children swearing in your presence, or maybe cursing} 0 j. then you can’form some idia as to how ugly your swearing is in the presence of yo.ur friends or family. Then it leads • u§ to lose confidence in the man who swears. As- The Davie Record is down on profane swearing it leads us to have more confidence in i;ts columns. We believe what it says without having it sworn to, whiie we are doubt­ ful about things sworn to by the profane. We are glad to know that the Union Republican and Davie Re­ cord are both Republican papers and down on swearing. . We. therefore congratulate you both for this clear- liriess, and hope you will-not hesitate to continue to reprove, and rebuke and that sharply and' before all that others also may* fear. Itis no dis­ credit to any political paper to prac- tice righteousness Twl to i p w Wickedncss of every kind. • __________OBSERVER.

It is very cold here now, the ground is froze about 14 inches deep, all the farm'folks do now is their chores £ti.d go to sales but not as many sales as usual on account of grains going up. We have rented a 120 acre farm all in cultivation. One man can farm.it with Igie horses; we will move on it the first of March. Am making arrangements to raise-a good many chickens this year; have bought 240 egg incubator. Will set it pretty soon - There is good deal in.chickens here for grain is cheaper here and raise more per acre. Corn usually makes about 55 bushel per acre and oats about 46 or 50 which is the principal, grain that is raised here. When -crops .times come everybody hustles one man works from 4'to 6 horses and always cur- rys and harnesses them before breakfast they are lots, of nice hores here and are well cared for. Now Tm going to tell a few items about the women. You can’t tell an old lady from a young one here by their dress They wear their dresses short and curl their hair and fix up just like the giris, and they know, nothing about work. Compared with 1 the Southern women things are I fixed so handy about the house; 1 that is most of them until their work can’t be hard. There is not a great deal of fruit here- more grapes and cherries. It is too cold for peaches in the SoCithern part of this state.- There'is’a good many apples, 'We mostly use canned or| dried fruits from California. It is ‘ awfully high too.

One Thing Often Neglected Is Neces­ sity of Keeping Young Animals ... Thriving From the Moment of Birth, to Maturity. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Renters and landlords in localities where the dairy 'business is now com­ ing into prominence, as well us many of those in the older dairy regions, will find many useful suggestions in a new Farmers’ Bulletin, No. 1272, Renting Dairy Farms, by ,Howard A. Turner, just issued by the United States De­ partment of Agriculture. It takes up . In detail the arrangements that 'are commonly entered into by dairy farm owners and tenants in some of the older dairy sections of New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, and Wis­ consin. - Since the contract is,a simple one when the farm Is rented for ca^h, this method requires littie attention, and most df the discussion is given over to the renting of dairy-farms on which the landlord gets a half share of the re-, ceipts.. Most farms of this class are rented on some sort of share basis, but there is a great deal of variation, depending upon the financial situation of the renter, the condition of the land, the interest the landlord takes - in the development of the herd, the dis­ posal . that is made of the milk and other, dairy products. Many Problems Brought Out. The renting of farms on which dairying is an important enterprise, says the'author, brings out problems that are hardly known where only such erops as corn, tobacco, cotton, and small grains are grown. Buildings and fence's become important consid­ erations, and also the division of land between pasture and feed crops. Ques­ tions arise concerning the size, quality and ownership of the herd. The very na­ ture of the business makes it neces­ sary that the landlord take an inter­ est in eIive stock and the crops and conditionsTiecessary to make it profit­ able. Tlie practices In the old dairy districts that have been developed af­ ter years of trial should be of assist­ ance not only to men newly become landlords and- tenants in these dis­ tricts, hut to those engayed in the same business in other districts. Vex­ ing problems may be cleared up by . consulting this boiled-down experience, which includes such things as the own­ ership of the cattle, the furnishing of man labor, supervision and assistance by the landlord, machinery and tools, work animals, the division of receipts from sivine and poultry, the rental of pasture, and the keeping of accounts. H fiiffliwfinv feature of t&e (Prepared by the United States Department ot Agriculture.) . " In an exhibit entitled “Pork Produc­ tion,” shown by the United States De­ partment of Agriculture at the Interna­ tional Live Stock, exposition, Chicago, th e. department gave the essential points for raising swine economically.' Good breeding stock, proper mating, and careful feeding of the brood sows are all important, but a- point in hog raising that should receive more atten­ tion, because it is often neglected, is the necessity of keeping the young pigs, growing continuously from the moment of birth to maturity. Even before the pigs are. weaned they should have access to corn in self- feeders as a supplement to fhe sow’s Sm s> The Profitable Pig Is One That Never Stops Growing. ' mine. As soon as they are weaned the pigs should be kept on full feed; either by self-feeder or by hand. Proper feed's- and exercise furnished to vigorous- pigs of proper type result in hogs of mar­ ket weight at about eight months of age. The profitable pig is the-one tliat never stops growing from farrowing to' market” is a good slogan for every hog raiser. Ice Is not a luxury on the' fiirm, but a necessity. This at least is true on-1 ail farms where dairy products are-; handled and provisions should be-! made for housing a sufficient supply : for use during the hot months o f sum- bulletin is the pfii't defiling With tll 6 practices that hare been worked out to satisfactorily handle the situation wlien tlie tenant !eaves the farm -tne ■division of jointly toned live stock, -payment for feed left on the farm, and for winter grain, fall plowing1, ma­ nure hauling, and improvements made by tenants. There are also discus- 'sions of the length of notice given of intention 'to terminate the lease, (lie length of the lease period, and the ar­ rangements that have been found workable when farms are' rented on crop shares to tenants having a few cows and getting all of the income from them.Renting for'Casn. It was found that most good dairy farms are rented on some sort of share basis and that it is 11300117.1116 smaller and po'orer farms that' are rented for cash, bnt'there are some owners, often those living at a distance from their land or those knowing little about farming, ,who "find the cash arrange­ ment the best, even though’ the farms may be good enough to attract the best tenants. However, the condition of the. buildings and fences on m any cash-rented farms and the difficulty of arranging for ' betterments handi­ cap the dairyman On such places. Some land owners who rent for cash en­ courage better tenants and better farming by leasing a herd of cows with the land, but there are very few ‘who follow this practice..

RECALL GRIEGS SURPRISE Despite Departure of British Commis­ sion, Early Agreement Would Not Be Surprising. WASHINGTON, — Although the British debt ' commission sailed for home with the mission which brought it to America uncompleted,' well in­ formed officials in Washington are by no means pessimistic over the possi­ bility of ah early agreement for the refunding of the British war debt to the United States.. In view .of the facts disclosed for the first time, some of those familiar with the recent exchanges between the British and Americad commission­ ers would not be surprised if British assent to settlement plans tentatively worked out here is given soon after Chancellor Baldwin and his colleagues of the British commission arrive in London. While the greatest reserve is shown here regarding the nature of this ten­ tative plan, it is known "that it repre­ sents the well considered judgment of both commissions as embodying the maximum concessions that might rea­ sonably he granted by the United States. In view of the advanced stage which has been reached In the discus­ sions, the sudden decision of the Brit­ ish government to recall its commis­ sioners to London for consultation, in­ stead of authorizing them to conclude ^he agreement. As the home - government had been kept-fully informed of-every step in the progress of the negotiations, it had been assumed that the' absence of objections to the plan as it de­ veloped could be construed only as forecasting assent to the final stages. The conclusion has been -drawn in diplomatic circles here that tile grave change In the European political situa­ tion after the two commissions began their work caused the British govern­ ment to hesitate to assume any new financial burdens at this time unless it was assured of ,the ability of the taxpayers to hear them. Among the many elements of ap­ prehension which thus may have in­ fluenced British Mlcials, are enume­ rated the possibility of an expensive war with Turkey, heavy losses of trade as the result of the operations of the, French in the Ruhr, followed by in­ creasing unemployment of English workmeh, unrest in India, and unsatis­ factory conditions in Egypt, which might make it necessary to modify her present independent status. To tie up the government in such an enormous financial transaction as that contem­ plated by the commission under those ends is said to !lave been viewed as hazardous in the extreme. Car Carried North. Carolina Licence. Jacksonville, Fla.—Although Thomas creek, 20 miles north of here, was dy­ namited four times following the find­ ing of an automobile submerged at the end of a “blind” road, without any bodies bing revealed, county officers were of the opinion that several per­ sons perished when the car catapulted into thp stream.

If You Reed a Medicine You Should Have the Best 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? The reason is plain—the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has. real curative -value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain, system the remedy is recommended by tlaase who have been benefited .to those who are in need of it. A prominent :drug|ist says, “Take for example Dr. 'KilmeFs .Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent re­ sults, as many of my customers testify. 'Na other kidney, remedy has so large a sale.” According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Roob is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills al­ most every wish.in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri­ nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.

Bruce’s father, Matthew' Folger, was one of the victims. His mother had fled with Bruce and Linda. The girl, while small, had been kid­ naped from .the orphanage and brought to the mountains.

Simon smiled mirthlesslv. 14The am is beginning to soiini) lilie the rest of yoiirs.”,' * “Old Hudson is dead," Dave went on. “And don’t look at me—I didn’t do it. I wish I had, though, first off. For once my judgment was better than yours. The Killer got him.” "Yes, Goon." "I was with him When it happened. My gun got jammed so I couldn’t shoot.” “Where is it now?” Dave scrambled in.vain for a story to explain the loss of his weapon to Bruce, and thd one that came out at last didn’t do him particular credit. “I—I threw the d—n thing away. ■ Wish I hadn’t now, but it made me so mad by jamming—it was a fool trick. Maybe I can go back after it and find it." • • Simon smiled again. “Very good so far,” he commented. Dave flushed. “Bruce was there, too—fact is, creased the bear1—and the last minute before he died Hudson told him wliere the agreement' was hidden. I couldn’t hear all lie Sftifl- I was too far away-but I heard enough to tiiink that he told Bruce the hiding place.” “And why didn’t you get that infor­ mation away from Bruce with yoiir gun?” “Didn’t I tell you the thing, was jammed? If it hadn’t of been for that, I’d done something-more than find out where it is. I’d stopped this non­ sense once .and for all, and let a hcde through that tenderfoot big enough to see through. Then there’d never be any more trouble. It’s the thing to do now.” 'i Simon looked at his brother’s face with some wonder. More crafty and cunning, Dave was like tjie coyote in that he didn’t yield so quickly to fury as that gray wolf, his brother. But when it did come, it scared him. It had come now. Simon couldn’t mis­ take the fact; he saw it plain in the glowing eyes, the clenched hands, the drawn lips. . Dave was remembering the pain of the blow Bruce had given him and the smart of the words that had preceded it. “You and he must have had a little session down there, by the’ creek,” Simon suggested slowly, “when your gun was jammed. Of course, he took the gun. What’s the use of trying to 1 lie to me?” “He did. What could I do?" “And now you wan*- him potted— from ambush.” “What's the use of waiting? Wlio’d know?” The two men stood face to face in the quiet and deepening dusk of the barn; and there was growing determination on each face. “Every day our chance is less and less," Dave went on. "With this land behind him, I he’d be in a position to pay did debts. Tm telling you. We should have met him on the trail and. let the buzzards ' talk to him.” - “Yesi” Simon echoed in' a strange half-Whisper. “Let the buzzards talk to , him." ’ * I Dnve tcek fresb heart at the sound of that voice. “No one would have ever knowed It,” he went on.- “No one would ever know it now. ’ They’d find his bones, some time, maybe, but there’d be no one to point to. They’d never get anything against us. I tell you—it’s all the way, or no way at all. Tell me to wait for him on the trail.” ’“Walt. Wait a minute. • How long before he will come?” - “Any time'now. .And don’t postpone this matter any more. "We’rfl men; not babies. He’s not a fool o f a cow­ ard. either. And he’s a shot—I saw that plain enough—and how’d you like to have him shoot through your windows some time?’ Old Elmira and Linda have set him op, and lie’s hot for it.” “I wish you’d got that old heifer when you got her son,” Simon.said. H e ’still spoke calmly; but it was plain enough that Dave’s words were having the desired effect. “So lie’s taken up the Jilood-feud, has lie? I thought I gave Ills father some lessons In that a long time since. Well, I sup­ pose tve must let him have his way!" “And remember, too,” Dave urged, “what you told him when you met Iiim in. the. store.' You .said you wouldn’t warn him twice” “I remember.” The two- men were silent,- but Dave stood no longer mo­ tionless. He was shivering all over with malice and fury. “Then you’ve given the word?” he asked. ' “I’ve given the word, but I’ll do it mjr own way, I Listen. Dave,” Simon it, deep in tliouglit. “Could you arrange to have Linda and the oifl Hag out of Uie Jtouse when t i! “We've got to work this thing right. VYe can’t operate in the epen like we used to. This inan has tdken up the blood-feud—but the thing .to do—is to let him come to us.” “But he won’t do it. He’ll go to the courts first.” Simon’s face grew stern. “I don’t want any more interruptions, Dave. I mean we will want to give the impres­ sion .that he attacked us first—on his own free will. VVhat if he comes into our house—a man unknown in these parts—and something happens to him llm -iii the Jeiij of. tlfltf It wouldn't W so bad then, wild It! Besides—if we got him here—before the clan, we might be able to find out where that document is. First, how can yon -tell when ihe’g going to "He ought to be here very soon.- The moon’s bright and I can get up on the ridge and see his shadow through your ,field glasses when he crosses the big south pasture. That will give me a full half-1,opr before he comes.” “It’s enough. I’m ready to give you your orders now. They are—just to’ use your head, and on some pretext get those two women out of the house so that Bruce can’t find them when he returns. Don’t le t. them come -back for an hour, if you can help it. If it works—all right. If It doesn’t, we’ll use more direct measures. I’ll tend to the rest.” . He strode, to the wall and took down a saddle from the hook. Quick­ ly he threw it over the back of ong of tie w pies, tie Iiitaitiiiitbi Md punished. He put the bridle in Dave’s hand. “Stop at the house for the glasses, then ride to the ridge- at once,” he ordered. “Then keep wutcli.” C h a p te r . XVii — « The day was quite dead when Davh Turner.reached his post on top of the ridge. Fortunately, the moon rose early. Otherwise Dave’s watch would have been in vain. He didn’t have long to wait. At the end of a half- hour he saw, through the field glasses,- the wavering of a strange black shadow on the distant meudow. He tried to get a better focus. It might be just the. shadow of deer, come to browse on the parched grass. Dave felt a little tremor of excitement at the thought that if it were not Bruce, it was more likely the last of the grizzlies, the Killer. The previous night the gray forest king bad made an excursion into Simon’s pastures and had killed a yearling caif; in all probability he would return tonight to finish his feast. In fact; this' night would in. all probability see the end of the Killer. Some one of the Turners would wait for him,- with a loaded rifle, in a safe ambush; But it wasn’t the Killer, after all. It was before his time; besides, the shadow was too slender to be that of the huge bear. Dave Turder watched a moment longer, so that there could be no possibility of a mistake. - Briice was returning; he was Iittie more Ilian a half-hour’s walk from . Linda’s home. Turner swung on his horse, then lashed the animal into a gallop. Less than five minutes later lie drew up to a halt beneath the Sentinel Pine, al­ most a mile distant. For the first time, Dave began to move cautiously. .It would complicate matters if the two women had already gone to bed. Tlitf hour was early—not yet nine __ but the fall of darkness is often the going-to-bud time of the mountain pie. It Ms warmer there and safer ; and the expense of candles is les­ sened. But tonight Linda and old Elmira were sitting' up, waiting for Bruce’s return. A candle flame flickered at the Win-- flow. Dave went up to the door and knocked. “Who’s there?” Elmira called. It was a habit learned In the dreadful days of twenty years ago, not to open a door without at least some knowl­ edge of who stood without. A lighted IItWI** W For the First Time, Dave Began to Slrre Cautiously. doorway sets oft a target aimost as well as a field of white sets off a black bull’s-eye. Have knew the truth was the. proper course. “Dave Turner,” he replied. A long second of heavy, strange si­ lence ensued. Then the woman spoke again. There was a new note in her voice, a curious hoarseness, but at the same time a sense of exultation and ©talent, But Daie d i't i | It. He mlglttower, have been In- terested in tho singular look of won­ der that flashed .over Linda’s' face as she stared at her aged aunt. Linda was not thinking of Dave, Her whole attention was seized and held by the unfamiliar note in her aunt'a voice, and a strange drawing of the woman’s features that the closed door prevent­ ed Dave from seeing. It was a look almost of rapture, hardly to be ex­ pected In Uie presence of an enemy. The dim eyes seemed ,to glow in the shadows. It was the look of one -who had wandered steep' and unknown trails for uncounted years and sees the distant lights of his home at last. She got up from her chair and’ moved over to the' little pack she had carried on her back when she had walked up from her cabin. Linda still gazed at her In growing, wonder. The long- y^ars seemed to have fallen away from her; s » Nslipped across the' un­ carpeted floor with the agility and si­ lence of a tiger. She always had given tllfi lllipsslon of Iate1Iit power, but never so much as now. She todk'some little object from the bag and slipped it next to her withered and scrawny breast. "What do you want?” she'called out into the gloom. Dave had been getting a little rest­ less in the silence; but the voice reas­ sured him. ‘TH tell you when you open the door. It’s something- about Bruce.” Linda remembered him then. She leaped to the door and flung it wide. She saw the stars ■ without, the dark fringe of pines against the sky line be hind. But most .of all she saw 'the cunning, sharp-featured face o’f Dave Turner, with the. candlelight upon him. The yellow beams were in his eyes, too. They seemed full of guttering lights. The few times that Linda had talked to Dave she _had always felt uneasy beneath his . speculative gaze. Tlie same sensation swept over her now. She knew-perfectly what slie would have,Iiad to expect, .long since, from this map, were it not that he had lived in fear of.his brother Simon. The mighty leader o? the dan had set a barrier around her as far as personal attentions went—ifnd his reasons were obvious. The mountain girls, do not usually attain her perfection of form and face; his desire for her was as jealous as it was intense and real. This dark-hearted man of great and terrible emotions did not only, know how: to hate. In his own savage way he could love too. Linda hated and feared-, him, but the emotion was wholly different from the dread and abhorrence with which she regarded Dave.' “What ab’out Bruce?" she demanded. ' Dave leered. “Do you want to’see him? He’s lying—up here on the hill.” The tone was knowing, edged with cruelty; and.it had theMeslred effect The color swept from the girl’s face In a single fraction of an Instant it showed stark whit* Ia the candlelight; There was an Instant’s sensation of terrible cold. But her voice, was hard and lifeless when she spoke. “You mean you’ve killed him?” she asked simply. ■ ’, * “We ain’t killed him. We’ve Just been teaching him a lesson,” Dave ex­ plained. “Simon warned him not to come up—and we’ve had to talk to him a little—with fists and heels." Linda cried out then, one agonized syllable. She knew what fists and heels could do in the fights between the mountain men. They are as much weapons of torture as the claws and fangs of the Killer; She had an in­ stant’s dread picture of this strong man of hers lying maimed and broken,, a battered, whimpering, ineffective thing in the moonlight of some distant hillside. The vision brought knowledge to her. Evdn more clearly than In the second of their kiss, before he had gone to see Hudson, she realized what an immutable paft of her he was. She gazed with growing horror at Dave’s leering face. "Where is . he?” she asked. Slie remembered, with singular steadfastness, the 'pistol she had con­ cealed in her own room. “I’ll show you. Tf’you want .to get him in you’d better.bring the old hag with you. It’ll take two of you to car­ ry him.” “I’ll come,” the old woman said from across the shadowed room. She spoke with a curious breathlessness. “I’ll go at once." / The door closed behind the three of tliem, and tliey w^t out^lntotlie moon* lit forest. Date walked first It was wholly characteristic of Win M t Re allowing these two knen the terrible handiwork (ft the^ Turners. He' re­ joiced in just this sort of cruelty. Lin­ da had no suspicion that this excur­ sion was-only a pretext to get the two women away from the house, and that his eagerness arose from deeper causes. It was true that Dave exulted In the work, and strangely tire fact that it was' part of the plot against Bruce had been almost forgotten in the faee of a greater emotion. He was alone in the darkness with Linda— except of course for a helpless old woman—and the command of Simon in regard to his attitude toward her seemed suddenly dim and far away. He led them over a hill, into the deeper forest. So intent was he that he quite failed, to oliscm a singular little slgil be-, tween old Elmira and Linda, The wo­ man half turned about, giving the girl an instant’s glimpse of something that she transferred from her breast to her sleeve. It was slender and of steel, and It caught the moonlight on its. shining surface. The girl’s eyes, glittered when she beheld it. She nodded, scarcely per­ ceptibly. and the strange file plunged deeper into the shadows. Fifteen minutes'later Dave drew up to a. halt ln;a little patch of moonlight, surrounded by a wall of-low trees and- brush. ^‘There’s more than one way to make a'ftate for a walk with a-pretty girl,” he said. : The girl'stared coldly into his eyes. “What do you mean?” she asked. The man IaugUefl HarsHly,. “I mellH that Bruce ain’t got back yet-he’s still on the other side of Little river, for all I know—” .- “Then why did you bring us here?” "Just to be sociable," Dave returned. “I’ll tell you, felnda. I wanted to talk to you. I ain’t been In favor of a lot of things Simon’s been doing—to you' and your people. I thought maybe you and I would like to be—friends.” No one could mistake the emotion behind the strained tone, the peculiar languor in the furtive eyes. The girl drew back, shuddering. ‘Tm going MVKsrtmf4 He' laughed again, a hoarse sound that rang far through the silences. He moved toward her, hands reaching. She backed away. _ Then she half-tripped over an outstretched ro,ot. The next instant she was In his arms, struggling against their steel. She didn’t waste words in pleading. A sob caught at her throat, - and she fought with all her strength against the drawn, nearing face.. She had for­ gotten -Elmira; in this dreadful mo­ ment of terror and danger the old wor man’s broken strength seemed too little to be Of aid. And1Dave thought her as helpless to oppose him , as the tall pines that watched, from above them. His wild laughter obscured the single sound that she made, a strange cry that seemed lacking In all human qual­ ity. Bather it was such a sound as a puma utters as it leaps upon its prey.. It was the articulation of 'a whole life of hatred that hnd come to a crisis at last—of deadly and terrible triumph after a whole decade of waiting.. If Dave, had discerned that cry in. time he would have hurled Linda from his arms to leap into a position of defense. The desire for women in men goes down to the roots of the world, , but self-preser­ vation is a deeper instinct still. But he' didn’t hear it In time. El­ mira had not struck with her knife. The distance was too far for that. But she swung her cane with all her force. The blow caught the man at the tem­ ple, his anfis fell away from the. girl’s body, he staggered grotesquely In the carpet' of pin needles. Then he fell face downward. • “His belt, quick!” the woman cried. No , longer was her voice that of de­ crepit age. The girl struggled with herself, wrenched back her self-con­ trol, and leaped to obey her aunt. They snatched the man’s belt from about his waist, and the women locked it swiftly about his .ankles. With strong, hard hands they drew his wrists back of him and tied them tight with the long bandanna handkerchief he wore about his neck. They worked almost in si­ lence, with incredible rapidity and deftness, Tlie man was waking now, stirring in his unconsciousness, and swiftly the old woman cut tlie buckskin thongs she twisted about the wrists, knotting them again and again, and pulling them so tight they were almost buried in the lean flesh. Then they turned him face upward to the moon.. The two women stood an instant, breathing hard. “What now?” Linda asked. And a shiver of awe went over her at the sight of the woman’s face. “Nothing more, Linda,” she an­ swered, in a distant voice. "Leave Dave Turner to me.” It was a strange picture. Woman­ hood—the softness and tenderness which men have learned to associate with the name-seemed fallen -away from Linda and Elmira. They were only avengers—like the she-bear' that fights for her cubs or the she-wolf that guards the lair. There was no more mercy in them than Jn the females of the lower species. Dave awakened. They saw 'him stir. They watched him try to draw his arms from behind him. It was just a faint, little-understanding pull at first. Then he wrenched and tugged with all his strength, flopping strangely in the dirt. The effort increased until it was some way suggestive of an animal in the death struggle—a fur bearer dying In the trap. Terror was upon him. It was In his wild eyes and his moonlit face; it whs’ In the desperation and frenzy of his struggles. And the two women saw it and smiled into each other’s eyes. Slowly his efforts ceased. He lay still in -the pine needles.,,. He turned his head, first toward Linda, then to the inscrutable, dark face of the old woiui, As understanding came to bim, the cold drops emerged upon his swarthy, skin. “Good G—d !” he asked; “W hat are you going to do?” “I’m going back,” Linda answered. “You had some other, purpose in bring­ ing me out here—or you wouldn’t have brought Elmira, too. I’m going back to wait for Bruce.” ; “And you and I will linger here,” Elmira told him.: “We Jiave many things to say to each other. We have many things to do. About my Abner —there are many things you’ll want to hear of him.’’ The last vestige of the man’s spirit broke beneath the words. Abner had. been old. Elmira’s son—a youth who had laughed often, and the one hope of the 'oid woman’s declining years. And he had fallen before Dave’s am­ bush in a half-fqrgotten fight of long years before.-. The man shivered in his bonds. Lin­ da turned to go. The silence of the wilderness deepened about them. “Oh, Linda, Linda,” the man called. “Don’t leave me. Don’t leave .me here with her!” he pieaded. “Please—please don’t leave, me in this devil’s power. Make her let me go.” But Linda didn’t seemed to hear. The brush crackled and rustled; and the two—this dark-hearted man and the avenger—were left together. She Was in His .Arms, Struggling ■Against Their Steel. , back,” she told him. * . “Wait. I’ll take you back- soon. Let’s Ijave a kiss and make friends. Theold lady won’t look—'* ^ / ,CHAPTER XVlll The homeward journey over ,the ridges had- meant only pleasure to Bruce. The days, bad been full of little - nerve-tingling adventures, and the nights full Of peace. And beyond all these, there was the hope of seeing Linda again 4 t the end of the trail. It was strange how he remembered her kiss. He had known other kisses' In/bis days—being a purely rational and healthy ytfung man—but there had been nothing of immortality about them. Theln^arm th had dibd'quickly, and they had. been forgotten. ~ “Linda,” he . said again. "It’s Bruce,.. Are-you here?" were just delights of moonlight c:gh (4 and nothing more. But he would Wak 8 up from his dreams at night to feel Linda’s kiss upon his ilps. To recall •It brought a strange tenderness — a softening of all the hard Outlines of his picture .of life. ,. But, aside from his contemplations of Linda, the long tramp had many .Je. lights for hjm. He rejoiced in every manifestation of the wild life about him, whether It was a bushy-tailed old gray squirrel, watching him- from a tree! limb, a magpie Uying its best to insult him, or the fleeting glimpse of a deer In the' coverts. But he didn’t see the Killer again.-.He didn't particularly' care to do so. Both days of the journey home be- wakened sharply 'at dawn. The cool, morning hours were the best for travel.. He was of naturally strong Physique], and although the days fatigued-him un­ mercifully, he always wakened re­ freshed In the dawn. At noon he would stop to lunch, eating a few pieces of Jerkey and frying a single flapjack In his skillet. And usually, during the noon rest, he would practice with his rifle. . He knew that if he were to- fight the Turners, skill with a.rifle was an ab­ solute necessity; such skill as would have felled the grizzly with’ one shot instead of administering merely a flesh wound, accuracy to take off’the head of a grouse at fifty yards and at the same time, an ability to swing and. aim the weapon In the shortest possi­ ble space of time, Tlie only thing that ■retarded him was the realization that he must not waste too many car­ tridges. Elmira had brought him only a small supply, He would walk all afternoon—going somewhat easier and resting more of­ ten- than In the morning; and these were ;the times that he appreciated a fragment of jefked ,venison. He would halt just before nightfall and make his camp. . . And the best hour of all was after his meal, as he sat.- In the growing shadows with his pipe. At. this hour he felt the spirit of the pines as never Be tmr Wf pt, Uty log SOnow, their InJnIte wisdom, their inexpressible aloofness with which they kept witch over the wilderness, HS Mill Wt Hilt Ii In seotlilng clouds; the glow of the «talj was red and warm over him. He could think then. Life revealed some of. its lesser mysteries to him. And' he be­ gan to glimpse the distant gleam of even greater truths, and sometimes it seemed to him that he. could almost catch and hold them. Always It was sOine message that the pines were try­ ing to tell him—partly in words they made when their limbs rubbed- togeth­ er, partly in the nature of a great alle­ gory of which their dark, impassive forms were the. symbols. If he could only see clearly) But it seemed to him eyes, More ,and more Re realized that the pines, like the stars, were living symbols of great powers who lived above the world, powers that would speak to men if they would but listen long and patiently enough, and in whose creed lay happiness. The last afternoon he traveled hard. He wanted to! reach Linda’s house be­ fore nightfall. • But the trail was too long for that. The twilight fell, to find him still a weary two miles dis­ tant. And the way was quite dark when he plunged into the south pas- ture of the Ross estates. Half- an hour Inter he was beneath the Sentinel Pine. He wondered why Linda was not waiting beneath it; In his fancy, he thought o f.lt as being the ordained place for her But pep. haps she had merely failed to hear his footsteps. He called into the open door. . “Linda,” he said, “I’ve come back.” No answer reached him;" The-wordsrang through the silent rooms and echoed back to him. He walked over the threshold. ' A chair in the front room was turned over. His heart leaped at the sight of it. “Linda,” he called In .-alarm, “where, are yon? It’s Bruce.” He stood an instant listening, a great fear creeping over him. He called once more,' first to Linda and then to the old woman. Then he leaped through the doorway. The kitchen was similarly deserted. Erom there he went to Linda’s room. Her coat and hat lay on the bed, but there was no Linda to stretch her arms to him. He started to go out the way he had come, but went instead to his own room. A sheet of note-paper lay on the he'd. It had been scrawled hurriedly; but although be had never received a writ­ ten word from Linda he did not doubt but that it was her hand: > “The Turners are coming—I caught a glimpse of them on the ridge. There is no use of my trying to resist, so I’ll wait for them in the front-room and maybe they'won’t find this note. They will take me to Simon’s house, and I know from its structure that they Will- lock UVe In an interior room In the-east wing. Use the window on that side nearest the north corner.* My one hope is that you will come at once to save me.” Bruce’s eyes leaped Over the page; then he thrust it into his pocket. He slipped through the rear door .of the house, into the, shadows.

WOMAN'S PART IN POLITICS Peggy Eaton a Conspicuous Figure Ir the Early Days of the Jackson Administration. The part played .by pretty Peggy Baton in the politics of the early days of the .Jackson administration, the scandal in which she figured, which wrecked a cabinet, killed Calhoun’s chances for the 1 presidency ' and ad­ vanced Van Buren to the succession, has been a favorite topic, with his­ torians of the period. In “Party Bat­ tles of the Jackson Period”- Claude G. Bowers deals- more extensively with the immediate after effects. General Eaton, it seems, sought an opportunity to personally chastise his erstwhile fel­ low member of the cabinet, Secretary Ingham, as he' had been especially bit­ ter against Mrs. JSaton. The thorough­ ly frightened secretary was driven to entering his house by alleys and back doors. It is not generally' known that this same “Pretty Peggy" at a later time in the Jackson • period was in­ volved in an attempt to persuade the postmaster general, Kendall, to enter into a dishonest contract; The reward for the postmaster would have been a fine carriage and two prancing' horses from Mrs. Eaton. / ■ f . i 5> Come to See Us for Anything In 5Sa S A S H 0* B L I N D S 3* L U M B E R L I M E Sj C E M E N T . # F L O O R I N G D O O R S R O O F I N G M A N T E L S G R A T E S T I L I N G B R I C K [CE-SALE OF MORTG VGED PROPERTY.

There -are two methods of measuring.-tempera­ ture by electrical means, bnerdepend- Ing upon the increase of .electric' re­ sistance of a pure metal with increase of temperature and the other on the production of an electromotive force in a circuit Qf two metals where-, one junction is kept at a constant temper­ ature and the other Is heated-to the temperature which it is ^desired to measure.

City and borough governments can­ not take action and make laws to in­ terfere with* bee-keeping, according to a report from the Pennsylvania depart­ ment of agriculture. Such ordinances will not stand when, the "defendants convicted In the city courts under such ordinances appeal to the higher courts for justice. The. liability -of a bee­ keeper for injury done by his bees- to some, other person or to the prop­ erty of another rests on-the. doc trine of negligence and not on the theory of the bees being a nuisance, If a bee­ keeper In a city^will arrange his bee yard and management properly, there will be no reason for complaint by the neighbors, and if the neighbors get stung, it is because of their, owj^cara- lessness. j ; BLOCKED.

In almost every paper we pick \ip these days, we find some one hammering oil farm conditions and farm credits.. That the great mass of farmers, especially cotton ,farmers are not. being wafted through life on flow­ ery bells of ease .is a thoroughly established fact, and no one knows this better than does the farmer himself. ■* The present geuerat:on of farm workers have been up agaiust. a serious proposition ever since they began their impossible task of pro­ ducing so-called raw materials back in the early nineties at a price that vvas veey much below cost of pro­ duction. The present situation, therefore, is the product of the conditions that brought it .about; and, can never be relieved until the causes which produced them are removed, Most writers, -and speakers, who are deluging the farmer and his friends with advice as to the' way out of the wilderness of despair, ■seem to go after the subject in a manner that would iudicate their conception of the. case to be one of either ignor­ ance or laziness, or both, on the farmers’ part, and such a course, from the usual source—the swivil chair farmer—can not possibly help matters, since if the farmers should pay enough attention to the stuff to get an understanding of the main imputations he would be too mad' further ^consider, even what mi|h^ states Ofi being, than they can po - sibly be by trying to institute- measured for' the relief of the effects.’ : In oilier"words wliat the farmer neads more than anything is less advice,; so that he may get time oc- Casiorjaljv,to take his bearing and in position to determine what the latest prescription is, and who gave it: - Or.to be more to the point. “ We do not ‘ believe the' farmer needs something done for him. Wr^n^pful'suggestions., There may be some truth in the suggestion that farmers need more money than they havei There is not any doubt but that they could use more, and use it advantageously if they could get it, but if the farmer can not Tecieve cost plus a reasonable profit for the things his labor brings into being, how can it be supposed that a provision, tnade legal, for the purpose of providing a means whereby he may borrow a t i l “The last church where H eld a , . 1 1 *|J f |v iv a l was among the coal diggers J S | Virginia, and after preaching 23 /j;|^ rm o u s , they m ust have caught , r significance of the num eral in- |||§ |fe a d of the m oral of tny appeals, H ^libr they handed me $5 0 , forty ||||f§>llars of which cost me to get to ;;.

Everybody believes in God, or ought to, by this time. I’m not going to waste my time aud yours preaching any more. So I’ll say good bye folks. Now don’t forget to keep right on believing in God.” , Supposing some other business house :resolved as follows: “Our business is'good. Peopleknow us. We have beeu in this location for years. ' Why should we use part of our income to keep our goods be­ fore people who will just naturally come aiid get them?” Supposing the grocer announc­ ed: '’Shucks, what’s the use of advertising? Folks have just got to have food anyhow.

The A verage Man. The average man makes up a- bout 99 perjcent of our reputation. This genus homo is mighty nearly alike a continental for poetry and eolf aud the Darwinian theory.' He dou’t care how many wives the Sul­ tan of Turkey has in his herem and don’t care whether Lloyd George or Lord Laws is premier of Eng­ land. What he does care about is .to have three square meals a day, a place to. resi^bi; toil-worn heel and a square deal for his neighbors and rulers. When cotton'is high he spends what-it fetches and when' it is low lie does the same. If wages are high the merchants and ther doctors and the auto dealers g^t it and when 1Iiev are low they . get. it but in spots. He goes to the movies, to the circus, to preaching when he pleases for lie’s is lord of all he surveys. If he wants to smoke or chew, pray or ctirse, sink or. swim, he does so and he dare any one to mess with ,his personal liber­ ty,' gn-ranteed under our stars and stripes. He votes' 3 s he darn pleases and smashes the slates of political parlies. He hiarries the best he cau-sometimes he gets a big bargain and sometimes lie gets bit but he takes his medicine like man, never yells when hit. When he wants to hunt rabbits, possums or preachers or politicians he hunts them and gives them the best he has in. his gnu. If he hits the game he’s happy if he misses he loads up again for the next hunt. ^ The average man don’t look so good iu',an art gallery, but he looks brings home the fruit of his labots, The average man makes the ^oun try what it is—he is the country aud all that’s in it... Need to Learn Their' Place. That judges are but men, like the rest of us, has been demostrated tIgainin Chicago. A.member of the jodicUry out there confuses the ciiniiiial with the civil side of procedure by announcing that he will send co-respondents in divorce', suits, male and female, to jail. He even refused a divorce in one case until-he.liad made an investigation- to see if action under the- criminal law could not be taken. Co-re­ spondents arf not very desirable members of society; but in divorce case:# they figure merely as a cause for granting-decrees, says the New YoTk MorningTelegraph. If under the law of the state they are puuish- able the procedure is different, and on auotlier side of the court than , that which dissolves marriages. _ Some judges need to learn'.that they are interpreters and adminis- tra ors jif the law, not^ police on . duty to supervise the morals of their fellowman.—Exchange.

Wonder if the new protective law recently enacted by Congress hcs any influence on the increase in the price of farm prodnets and the will ever be the means of his better Mt! Most of the lam ing population of this country who are fifty years old' aud have worn themselves out in the effort to supply food and clothing for the-people, 'began life as farmers, or farm laborers, back in the nineties, as above referred to and have never 4 able to free them­ selves from the shackles that this period imposed upon them. At that time,, however, most farmers were in position to supply the collateral for their own credit, me therefore heard nothing' about “Farm Credit" as prerogative of .the law making body, arid no one seemd to be anxious for the govern- ’meut to make any special provision 'ior the special benefit of the tarmer. If now, the farmer has reached ;the point where , he neither has the money, nor the collateral on which |to obtain tlie money unless Uucle Sam specially ’ provides a measure for his releif,(isn't it easy t'o see that farmers,; as a class, are in much i-worse condition today than thej’ Vere thirty yeajrs ago?

The Who Are The Poor?/ The teaching of all history,. as - George H. Stevensou says in our thought for the week, is that the farmer ca'n never — 111 fact 110 one cau ever—prosper as a mere pro- ■; ducer pf raw materials. The men who dig coal live in huts; the men who sell and handle it in fine houses. The men who cut timber and run lumber-sawslivein shacks and cab­ ins; the men who manufacture lumber and sell it are well housed. The men who grow cattle make -Jjhj. tributers, are prosperous. Tli dis-ieineu who make peanuts are poor, the cleaners and distributers are wealthy. The men who make cot­ ton aud tobacco and sugar cane live humbly; those who buy .and handle and manufacture these pro­ ducts live more prosperously.

Those who ere thinking tif rn'"'.ng thicks for market can well nffocu to take stock of the situation and deter­ mine in advance the breed which will meet market conditions to the best ad­ vantage. There is no pr >iit in rais­ ing a breed which is unsubed for the purpose which you have in mind. Pekin Is Best Duck. The best duck beyond doubt for market purposes is the Pekin. It is heavier than the average and grows with such rapidity that the “green" ducks can be marketed _to best ad­ vantage when only ten weeks of- age. The Pekin stands at the head of the list and is the undisputed leader in all duck markets, just as the Leghorn dominates the egg-farm field among rj-commercial poultry raisers. Close to the Pekin is the Rouen, which is also a large duck, but to date it seems to have made no marked im­ pression upon the market. It Ims no advantages to offer over the Pekin and, therefore, has made little head­ way against it. Run'ner is Best Layer. For egg production we must turn to still another variety. The Runner duck is undoubtedly, the best layer of all the duck tribe. It is not out of the ordinary for these ducks to com- PROPER PROPORTION OF MALES IN FLOCk Local Conditions Enter Largely Into Mating Problem. .

In fact, rec­ ords of 200 eggs per year among these dufft are not at all uncommon. The Runner,’ like the Leghorn chicken, is Jinall and trim in Size and shape, and, therefore, not weli suited for a market fowl, but it is probably the best suited for general farm con­ ditions where goqd laying is desirable, in fact, the Runner has in the past ten years made rapid lieadway on the farms because of this very. fact.

Small applications of ground lime­ stone and shed manure nearly doubled the yield of corn, wheat and clover In rotation on the Ohio experiment sta­ tion test farm at Carpenter In the southeastern part of the state. . Finely ground limestone is applied on-the wheat ground after .plowing at the rate of .100 pounds per acre. Un­ treated; shed manure is plowed under for corn at the rate of five tons to the acre. ■ . . .. > The average increase of corn for the period of 19 years is 60 per cent; for wheat, 92 per cent; and for clover liay, IOS per cent. ., Other experiments suggest that on most acid soils a larger initial applica- jfion’of Ume is desirable, and that the I time ot applying the lime does’ not greatly affect yields.

The ex­ tra-large breeds, such as Cochins and Brahmas, give best results when not more than eight or ten females are al­ lowed to each maiej Often a male penned iip with cer­ tain number of females will produce more fertile eggs thati a like condition when the birds are on the open range with other males. Wren a large num­ ber of fowls are permitted to run to­ gether much time is occupied by the masculine members of the flock In fighting in defense of” honor, family ties, etc. When it is impossible to divide the flock into small breeding pens with only one male in each pen, better resiilts will be obtained- with a large flock in which several males are necessary if plenty of ranging space is obtainable and the bird gets plenty of wholesome exercise. There is, of course, a great differ­ ence in roosters. One may be vigor­ ous and “scrappy,” with" another will be feminine and cowardly. The lat­ ter kind is of practically no value on the range, because he is always in flight or hiding from his antagonist. It is, therefore, best to select evenly matched males and soon their family differences will be adjusted,, each will, gather Iiis favorites about him and. there will be little interference.

PROMOTE HEALTH OF FLOCKS Much. Good Can Be Accomplished by Spraying Runways and Houses With Lye Solution. Every poultry falser knows that fowls thrive best in clean, well venti­ lated places. By keeping the houses, roosts, nests and runways sprayed with a concentrated lye solution you will do a great deal toward promot­ ing good health and productiveness among your poultry. Many of the most successful poultry raisers use this lye solution around their poultry houses at least every other week. The solution is made by dissolving a small can of lye in five gallons of water. A sprinkling can, hand spray, or an old whisk broom may be used to apply the solution. “If your baby is bad and cross it’s a sure sign he needs Teethina,” says Mrs. Clair McConnell, of Norman Park, Ga. “That’s the way it always was with my little boy. When he was fretting and cross - 1 would give him Teethina and -then he was" bright and laughing again. - “Teethina is wonderful for them when they get older, too, I give it to my seven-year-old boy and you never saw anything do so much good.” j .The most frequent cause of fret-.I ting, cross babies is painful disorders'j in their little tender bowels.

At his destination. Trail's End, news that.a message has been sent to Bruce gets tq Simon Turner. Leavlngithe train, Bruce Is aston­ ished at his apparent familiarity with the surroundings, though to his knowledge he has never been there. On the way SHmon warns him to give up his quest and: return E ast Bruce refuses. Mrs. Boss, aged and infirm, welcomes him with emotion. She hastens him on his way—the end of "Pine-Needle Trail." Bruce finds his childhood, playmate, Linda. The girl tells him of wrongs committed by an enemy clan, the Turners, on her family, the Bosses. Lands occupied by the clan were stolen from the Rosses, and the family, with the exception of Aunt Elm ira (Mrs. Ross) and herself, wiped out by assassination. Bruce's father, Matthew Folger, was one of the victims. His mother had fled with Bruce and Linda. The girl, while small, had been kid­ naped from the orphanage and brought to the mountains. Linda's father had deeded his lands to Matthew Folger, but the agree­ ment, which would confute the enemy claims on the property, had been lost. Bruce's mountain blood responds to the call of the blood- feud. A giant tree, the Sentinel Pine, in front of Linda's cabin, seems to Bruce's excited imagina­ tion to ,be endeavoring to convey a message. Bruce sets out In search of a trapper named Hudson, a wit­ ness to the agreement between Linda's father and Matthew Fol­ ger. A gigantic grizzly, known as the Killer* is the terror of the vi­ cinity. Dave Turner, sent by Simon, bribes Hudson to swear falsely concerning the agreem ent The Killer strikes down Hudson, Bruce, on h is ' way to Hudson, wounds the Killer, driving him from Ma victim. Hudson, leamlnk Bruce’s identity, tries to tell him the hiding place of the agreem ent but death summons him. Dave de­ coys U nda and Aunt Elmira from their home. The man ,insults Linda and is struck down by the aged woman. Elmira’s son has been murdered by Dave, and at her com­ mand. after securely binding the desperado, U nda leaves them alone. Returning, Bruce finds a note, ap­parently from Linda, telling him she has been kidnaped by the Turners. CHAPTER XlX As Bruce hurried up the hill toward the Boss estates, he made a swift cal­ culation of the rifle shells in his pock­ e t The gun held six. He had perhaps fifteen others in his pockets, and he hadn't stopped to replenish them from .the supply Elmira had brought. He hadn’t brought Dave’s rifle with him. but had left it With the’remainder of his pack. He knew that the lighter he traveled the greater would be his chance of success. Il ltd ifflaifi the elan w closing about the Iioiise 1 I 111! h i J there had been no occasion to search the other rooms and thus discover it. The girl had kept her head even In that moment of crisis. A wave of ad­ miration for her passed over him. And the little action had set an ex­ ample for him. He knew that only rigid self-control and cool-headed strategy could achieve the thing he.had set out to do. His Impulse was to storm the door, to pour his lead through the lighted windows; but such things could never take Linda out of . Simon’s hands. Only.stealth and cau­ tion, not blind courage and frenzy, could serve her now. Such blind killing as his heart prompted had to wait for another time. He knew only the general direction of the Koss’house'where Simon lived. Linda had told him it rested upon the crest of a small hill, beyond a ridge of timber. The moonlight showed him a well-beaten^ trail, and he strode swiftly along.it. He had a vague sense of familiarity ■with this winding trail. Perhaps he had toddled down it as a baby, per- Imps his iiiotlier had carried him along it on a neighborly visit to the Rosses. He went oyer the hill and pushed his way to the edge of the timber. AU at once the moon showed him the house. He couldn’t mistake it, even at this distance. And to Bruce-it had a slngu- , Iar effect of unreality. The mountain men did not ordinarily build homes of such dimensions. They were usually merely log cabins of two or three low­ er rooms and a" garret to be reached with a ladder .1 The ancestral home of the Rosses, however,' had fully a' dozen rooms, and It loomed to an incredible size In the mystery of the moonlight. He saw quaint gabled roofs and far- spreading wings. And it seemed more like a house of enchantment, a struc- ture raised by the rubbing of a magic lamp, tlian the work of carpenters and masons. Probably its wild surroundings had nil ....... B y EDISON MARSHALL , Author of “ T h e V o ic e o f th e P a c k " Copyright by Little, Brown, and Co. «- ers had coveted IL It seemed the acme of luxury to them. And more clearly than ever he understood why the Bosses had died, sooner than re­ linquish it, and why-its usurpation by the Turners Jiad left such a debt of hatred to Linda. AU men know that the love of home Is one of the few great Impulses that has made toward civilization, but by the same token it has been the cause of many wars. Per­ haps the day is coming when Ihis love will die in the land, but with it will die the strength to repel the heathen from our walls, and the land will not be worth living In, anyway. But it was not dead' to the mountain people. No really primitive emotion ever is. The Bosses had known this instinct very well. As all men who are strong- thewed and of real natural virtue, they had known pride of race and name, and it had been a task worth while to build this stately house on.their far- lying acres. They had given their fiber to it freely; no man who beheld the structure could doubt that fact They had simply consecrated their lives to it; their one Work by whickv they could show to all who came after that by their own hands they had earned their right to live. Bruce saw the broad lands lying un­ der the moon. There were hundreds of acres of alfalfa and clover to fur­ nish hay for the winter feeding. There were wide, green pastures, ensllvered by the moon, and fields of corn laid out in even rows. The old appeal of the soil, an instinct that no person of Anglo-Saxon descent can ever com­ pletely escape, swept through him. They ivere worth fighting for, those fertile acres. Not for nothing hare a hundred gen­ erations of Anglo-Saxon people been tillers of the soil. They had left a love of It to Brace. He knew what it would be like to feel the earth’s pulse through the handles of a plow, to behold the first start of green things in the spring and the golden ripening In fall; to watch the flocks through the breathless nights and the herds feed­ ing on the distant hills. , Bruce looked over the ground. He knew enough not to continue the trail farther. The space in front was bathed in moonlight,'and he would make the best kind of target - to any rifleman watching from the windows of the, house. He turned through the coverts, seeking the shadow of the forests at one side. By going in a quartering direction he was able to approach within two hundred yards of the house without emerging into the moonlight. At that point the real difficulty of the stalk He Iiovered In the shadows. only the Bhadow of the brambles, blown by the wind. Once his heart leaped into his throat at a sharp crack of brush be-' side him; and he could scarcely re­ strain a musculer jerk that might have revealed his position. But when he turned his head he could see nothing but the coverts and the moon above them. A garden snake, or perhaps a blind mole, had made Qie sound. Four minutes later he was within one dozen feet of the designated win­ dow, There was a stretch of moon­ light between, but he passed it quick­ ly. And now he stood In bold relief against the moonlit house-wall. He was In perfectly plain sight of any one on the hill behind. Possibly his distant form might have been dis­ cerned from the window of one of the lesser houses occupied by Simon’s kin. But he was too close to the wail to be visible from the windows of Simon’s house, except by a deliberate scrutiny. And the window slipped up noiseless­ ly In his hands. He was considerably surprised. He had expected this window to be locked. Some way, he felt" less hopeful of suc­ cess. He recalled In his mind the di­ rections that Linda had left, wonder­ ing if he had come to the wrong win­ dow. • But there was no 1 chance of a mistake in this regard; it was the north­ ernmost window in the east wing. However, she had said that'she would be confined In an interior room, and possibly the Turners had seen no need, of barriers other than Its locked door. Probably they had not even anticipated that Bruce would attempt a rescue. He' leaped lightly upward and slipped silently into the room. Except for the moonlit square on the floor it was quite In darkness. He stood a moment, hardly breath­ ing. But he decided it was not best to strike a match. A ’match might reveal his presence to some one In an adjoin­ ing room. - He rested his hand against the wall, then moved slowly around the room. He knew that by this course he would soon encounter the door that led into the interior rooms. In a moment he found it. He stood waiting. He turned the knob gently; then softly pulled. But the door was locked. __ There* was no soun.d now but the loud beating of his own heart. He could no longer bear tlie voices of the the wind had blown it shut. For it is always the way of youth to hope—as long as any hope is left His heart leaped and he whirled to face it Then he heard the unmistakable sound of a bolt being slid into place. ■ Some little Bpace of time followed In Bilence. He struggled with growing horror, and time seemed limitless. Then a strong man laughed grimly In the darkness. CHAPTER XX He could see the house much more plainly now. True, it had suffered neg­ lect In the past twenty years It need­ ed painting and- many of its windows were broken. Bruce rejoiced to see that there were no- lights In the east wing of the house; the window that Linda had indicated In the note was just'-a black square op the moonlit wall. > There was a neglected garden close to this wing of the house. If he could reach this spot In safety he could ap­ proach within a few feet of the house and still remain In cover.- He went flat, then slowly crawled toward it. Once a light sprang up in a window hear the front, and he pressed ciose to the eartli. But in a moment it went away: - He crept on. He didn’t know when a watchman in one of the dark windows would discern his creeping figure. But he did know perfectly Just what manner of greeting hfe might Ex­ pect .In this event. There would be a single little spurt of fire In the dark­ ness, so small,that,probably his eyes wouid quite fall to catch it. If they did discern it, there would be no time for a message to be recorded In his brain, It would mean a swift and cer­ tain end of all messages. The Turners would lose no time In emptying their rifles at him, and there wouldn’t be the slightest doubt about their hitting the mark. AU the clan were expert shots and the. range was close. The place was deeply silent. He felt a growing sense of awe. In a mo­ ment more, he slipped into the shad­ ows of the neglected rose gardens. He lay quiet an instant, resting. He didn't wish'to risk the success of /his expedition by fatiguing himself now. He, wanted his full strength and breath for any crisis that he should meet In the room where Linda was confined. \ ■Nevertheless, the stock of his rifle felt good in Ills bands. Perhaps there ivoiild be a rptilng figlit after/to got the girl out of the house, and then his mtigei mi be ii w Are \ ' As Bruce waited, his l^yes slowly be­ came accustomed to the darkness. He began to see the dim outlines of his fellow occupants of the room—fully seven brawny men seated In chairs about the walls. “Let’s hear you drop your rifle," one of them said. Bruce recognized the grim voice as Simon's—heard on one occasion before. He let his rifle fall from his hands. He knew that only death would be the answer to any resistance to these men. Then Simon scratched a match, and without looking at him, bent to toifch It to the wick of the lamp. The tiny flame sputtered and flick­ ered, filling the room with dancing shadows. Bruce looked about him. . Simon sat beside the fireplace, the lamp at his elbow. As the wick caught, the light brightened and stead, led; and Bruce could see plainly. On ehch side of him, In chairs about the walls, sat Simon’s brothers and his blood relations that shared the estate with him. They were huge, gaunt men, most of them dark-bearded and sallow-skinned, and all of them regard­ ed him with the same gaze of specula­ tive interest. . Hyuce did not flinch before their gaze. He stood erect as he could, in­ stinctively defiant, “Our guest is rather early,’’ Simon began. “Dave hasn’t come yet, and Dave is the principal witness.” A bearded man across the room an­ swered him. “But I guess we ain’t goln’ to let the prisoner go for lack of evidence.” The circle laughed then—a harsh sound that was not greatly, different from the laughter of the Jmyotes on the sagebrush hills. But they sobered when, they saw that Simon hadn’t laughed. His dark eyes were glowing. “You, by no chance, met him on the way home, did you?” he asked. “I wish -I had,” Bruce replied. “But didn’t.” • “I don’t understand your eagerness. You didn’t seem overly eager to !meet us.” Bruce smiled wanly. These wilder­ ness men regarded him with fresh in­ terest Somehow, they hadn’t counted on his smiling. It was almost as if he were of the wilderness breed himself, Instead of the son of cities. ‘Tm here, am I not?” he said.. "It Isn’t as if you came to my house’flrst.” “Yes, you’re here,”. Simon confirmed. “And I'm wondering if you remember what I told you Just as you left Mar­ tin’s store that day—that I gave no man two warnings.” “I remember that,” Brace replied. “I saw no reason for listening to you. I don’t see any reason now, and I wouldn’t if It wasn’t for that row of guns.” Simon studied his pa)e*face. I “Per- He Waa Considerably Surprised. He Had Expected This Window to Be Locked. wind outside the open window. He wondered whether, should he hurl all his magnificent strength against the panels, he could break the lock; and if he did so, whether he could escape 'with the girl before he was shot down. But his hand, wandering .over the lock, encountered the key. It was easy, after all, He turned the key. The door opened beneath his hand. If there had been a single ray of light under the door or through the keyhole,, his. coarse would have been quite different. He would have opened the door suddenly in that case, hoping to take by surprise whosoever of the clan were guarding Linda. To open a door slowly into 'a- rooffi-'-full of ene­ mies is only to give them plenty iof. time to cock their rifles. But in this case the room was in darkness, and all that he need fear was making a sud­ den sound. The opening slowly widened.. Then he Slipped through and stood ten breathless seconds In silence. “Linda," he whispered. He waited a long time for an answer. Then he stole farther into the room, ' "Linda," he said again, “it’s Bruce. Are you here?" ; ■ . And In that unfathomable silence he heard a sound—a sound so diiii and small tlint It only reached the frontier of hearing.* It was a strange, whisper- There were no n End.

But there was no doubt­ ing Its reality. A living creature oc­ cupied {his place of darkness with him, ^and was either half-gagged by a hand­ kerchief ovdr - the face or was trying to conceal Its presence by muffling Its breathing., “Linda.” he satd again. .. - There was a strange response to the calling of that name. ' He heard no whispered answer.; Instead, the door, he, had Just passed through shut softlv behind him- For a fleeting instant he hoped that M came up here to these mouutalns to open old wounds.” . “Simon, I came up here to right wrongs—and you know It. If old wounds are .opened, I can’t help it.” ' “And tonight,” Simon went on as if he had not been answered, "you Iiave come unbidden into- our house. It would be all the evidence the courts would need, Bruce—that you crept in­ to our house in the dead of night. If anything happened to you here, no word -could be raised against us. You were a brave man, Bruce.” “So I can suppose you left the note?” The circle laughed again, but Simon silenced them with a gesture. “You're very keen,” he said. .“ Then where! is Linda?” Bruce’s eyes hardened. “I am more interested in her whereabouts than in this talk with you.” “The last seen of her, she was going up a hill with Dave. When Dave re­ turns you can ask him." The bearded man opposite from Simon uttered a short syllable of a laugh,. "And It don’t Ioolr llke he’s gO1 Ing to return," he said, The knowing look on his face was deeply ab h o ra to ’Bruce. , .Curiously, Simon’s face flushed, and lie whirled In his chair. “Do won mean anything'In particu­ lar, Old Btft?"'he"’demanded, 1 “It looks to me like maybe Dave’s forgot a lot of things you told him, and he and . Linda are havin’ a little sparkin’ time together out In the brush.” The idea seemed to please the clan! But Simon’s eyes glowed, and Bruce himself felt the beginnings of a blind rage, that might, unless he held hard upon it, burl him against their re­ morseless weapons. “I ’don't want any more such talk out of you, Old'Bill" Simon reproved him, “and we’ve talked enough, anyway.” His keen eyes stud­ ied Bruce’s flushed face, “One of you ilve our guest a elialr .and Ax1 him Un in It With-a thong. We, don’t want "And I don’t particularly like veiled I smiled now ;the whole circle of face*. threats.

You’ll have to an­ swer for it just the same.” .'Simon leaned forward In his chair. His dark eyes glowed In the lamp­ light ‘Tve heard such talk as that before,” he said. “I expect your own father talked like that a few times himself.” The words seemed to strike straight home to the gathered Turners. The moment was breathless, weighted with suspense. All of them seemed strain­ ing In their chairs. Bruce’s-bead bowed, but the veins stood out beneath the short hair on his temples, and his lips trembled sun-blasted, cliffs. I AU at once Simon laughed—a sharp,, hoarse sound that had, In its overr-- tones, a note of madness. Every man in the room started. They seemed to* have forgotten Bruce. They looked at their leader with a curious expectancy. They seemed to know that that wild laugh betokened but one thing—the- impact of some terrible sort of Inspi­ ration.- As they watched,,they saw the idea take hold of him. Inie ht>ge face dark­ ened. His eyes seemed to smolder as- he studied his huge bands. “We’ve decided to be merciful, after all,” he- sald slowly. But neither Bruce nor the clansmen misunderstood him or were- deceived. They only knew that these- words were simply part of a deadly Jest.that In a moment all would un­ derstand. “Instead ,of filling you fuU when he answered. “That was a great-1 of thirty-thirty bullets, as better men er wickedness than anything you can do tonight. And you’ll have to answer for it all the more.” He spoke the last sentence with-a calm assurance. Though spoken soft­ ly, the words rang clear. But the an­ swer of the evil-hearted man before him was only a laugh. “And there’s one thing more I want to make dear,” Bruce went on In the strong voice of a man who had con­ quered his terror. And it was not be­ cause he did not realize his danger. He was In the hands of the Turners, and he knew that Simon had spoken certain words that, if for no other reason' than his reputation with his followers, he would have to make good. Bruce knew that no moment of his life than you have been filled and what we- ought to do—we’re Just going to let you lay out all night—in the pasture —with your feet tied and your hands behind your back.” No one relaxed. They iistened, star­ ing, for what would follow. “You may get a bit cold before morning,” Simon went on, “but you’re warmly dressed, and a little frost won’t hurt you. And Tvd got the place all. picked out for you. And we’re even going to move something that’s laying- there so it will be more pleasant.” Again he paused. Bruce looked up. “The thing that’s lying there Is a dead yearling calf, half ate up. It was killed last night by the Killer— the old grizzly that maybe you’ve wag ever frauglit with greater peril, heard o t before, some of the boys But the fact itself that there were no doors of escape open to him, and he was face Jo face with his destiny, steadied him ail the more. , The boy that had. been wakened In his bed at home by the ring of the ’phone bell had wholly vanished now. A man of the wild places had come instead, stem and courageous and un­ flinching. ‘Everything is tolerable clear to us already,” Simon said, "except your sentence.” ‘I want you to know jthat I refuse to be impressed with this Judicial atti­ tude of you and, your blackguard fol­ lowers,” Bruce went on. “This gath­ ering of the group of you doesn’t make any evil that you do any less wrong, or the payment you’ll haue to make any less sure. It lies wholly In your power to kill me while I’m sitting here, and I haven’t much hope but that you’ll do it. But let me tell you this. A reign of bloodshed and crime can go on only so long. You've been kings up here, and you think the law were going to wait In trees, tonight by the carcass and shoot the killer when he comes back after another meal— something that likely won’t happen un­ til about1 midnight if he runs true to form. But it won’t be necessary now. We're going to haul the carcass away —down wind where he won’t smell it. And we’re going to leave you there In its place to explain to him what be­ came of it!" Bruce felt their glowing eyes,upon him. Exultation was creeping over the clan; once more their leader had done himself proud. It was such sugges­ tions as this that kept them In awe of him. And they thought they understood. They supposed that the night would be of the utter depths of terror to the tenderfoot from the cities, that the bear would sniff and wander about him, and perchance the man’s hair would be turned quite white by morn­ ing. But being mountain men, they thought that the actual danger of at­ tack was not great. They supposed W ttie iiiDorn fear <n men mt an IelItwIf “l i i t l i i f c i B i l i i « : 4 Il Iij b j » * l iig to renew the blood-feud—nlrendy chance the theft of the beef cur« hollering about the law,” Simon said should throw him into such a rage tliiit to his followers.

The story would carry down to the settlements merely as a fresh atrocity of the Killer, the last and greatest of the grizzlies. But they had no realization of the full dreadfulness of the plan. Tlny hadn’t heard the more recent historv of Hiq' Killer—the facts that Slmcn had Just learned from Dave.
