LAW IN THE VALLEY-By Mrs.

came to fetch him years afterward Folks in the valley knowed what had happened, but for once they didn't meddle, not even to ask questions of the little gal when she come and went from the store to carry things. At the very beginnin' Brother Milum lowed he aimed to go up and see what could be done; but he had to pass by Bflrs door to git to the trail up the mountain and Bill seen him.
 "'You can't gol sez he
 "I'm Mary's pastor sez Milum.
 "T don't keer if you were her guardian angel, you can't go!' sez he again.
 "'You ain't actin like human bein'. sez Milum, lgittin' his pious dander up.
 But I'm actin',' sez Bill, spittin' in his hands and gittin' ready to hist Milum back over the fence the way he had come Milum got back over himself and stood there preachin' at Bill as far as he could see him. but he didn't go up to have prayers with Mary. And once after that old Misses Snow lowed as she was presi- dent of the Foreign Missionary society it was her duty to go and see what could be done for Mary in a spiritual way There ain't nothin meaner than a good female, Mister, that's willin to help a fallen sister just in a spiritual way Well, sir, in about an hour here she come back, red as a turkey cock in the face and abusin' Bill for everything she could think of. She made straight for his house, called him out put on her specks, turned up her nose and lit in. Bill Stark
 
 wife
 Did she make you welcomeY sez he, not even lookin' at her. No, she didn't. She dassent speak to a soul but that ill., begotten child you sent up there to tor ment her with, and Pm here a-purpose to tell you that your conduct Is that of a tyrant and a coward
 T ain't keerin' what you think of my conduct, Misses Snow sez he, but so long as live Mary's will be further from suspicion than any other woman's in this valleyl' With that he walked in the house and left her standin' there with her mouth open.
 And naturally there was a right smart talk about how Mary spent her time. Some thought she'd took leave of her senses For hunters on the mountain, passin' the shack late at night heard the whirr of her spinning wheel and seen her Settfn De1ofe IL Wltn Wllu, starll eyes, spinnin' and spinnin' the long night through Now and then somebody passed her in the woods lookin' so dumb and stricken that they turned their heads away in pity for her. And Prim May berry had seen her playin' dolls with the little gal. That was the saddest sight of all She'd frisk about to please the child, but always with that lost, confused look on her face, as if she was in 8 bad dream. +J,a rlfu fO her and ketched her by the skirts and be- gun to cry as If she was afeered Mary took her up and tried to pacify her And Prim lowed 1t hurt him to see the way she cried over the child after 1t was asleep in her arms. He didn't under

bulb of one rheumantic finger into the bowl of his pipe and commented.
 None of us knows what towards we air till we have done something wrong and have to turn tail and run from the consequences. Just so. I never saw such swiftness as that half-strangled man showed, sippin. slidin and jumpin' down Blood mountain. 'Twan't no credit to what he called his ethics, but 1t was elo- quent of the way a scamp feels under conviction for sin when an honest man has quoted Scripture to him with both hands.
 "When I turned around Bledso was gone, but Bill was standin' in the door way of the house lookin' at his wife. She was dressed up in her Sunday clothes, pore thing, and she was settin' by the table with her face hid in her arms on 1t.
 Mary sez he, in voice throbbin still with the fury of the fight, you left my house for his'n. Now you shall stay here He won't come back, but you shan't come home, nor set your foot in the valley again, nor speak to anybody except that little gal Annie Lea I'll send her up here to fetch and carry for you. We been tryin' to git a home for her, and it seems she might "a been yourn. So you got to take and keep her. We aint gon' to git no divorce. We air lined together so long as we live and I'll see that you don't forgt it from this time.'
 'It wouldn't do for a man to be per feet Mister. He would be too unmerci- full So thought as I stood by the door lookin at Mary after her husband had gone. She didn't move, and 1t want just his anger that made her hang against the table so limp like withered spring bough It was her shame A woman can't stand that kind of shame. sir. She can't buck agin 1t or brazen it out as man can. It sinks into her like p'isin and kills something in her that no man ever had. As I seen Mary droopin' lower and lower in her chair, and thought of the night comin on, and of her up thar alone with just that, stepped in and laid my hand on her head.
 Pore gal! I sez.
 "Then she raised up very slow and looked at me. I turned my head away; I couldn't bear 1t, that look on a woman's face It shamed me as if I'd saw soul so naked 1t was sacrilegious to look. She didn't speak, and I backed out without another word, because, dang 1t! there want anything fittin' to say.
 "Werl, sir from that day, Mary Stark begun to serve her long, long sentence in that lonesome house on Blood mountain, nor she never set foot in the valley. nor spoke to soul. Bill sent the little gal up next day. accordin' to his word, but he never went near the place, nor asked after his wife. nor even saw her tilr she

be some mistake.
 "Downstairs he was stormed by 200 more. Paclinghis grip he and his bride fled from the hotel Friends of humorous instincts had perpetrated the joke and got much enjoyment out of MT. Browns discontinue"
 As to the latter expression-no doubt.
 MT. Browns friends were plainly of that sort who could get much enjoyment out of that gentlemans discomfiture re- gardless of the feelings of others.
 But
 What of the two or three hundred worlingmen so cruelty fooled to make holiday for the friends of MT. Brown?
 These men were looking for employment and needed work. They called in good faith. Is 1t to be supposed they got much enjoyment out of this practical joker
 Who knows? Short meals may have been eaten in laborers' homes because of the disappointment. The cruel de- fusion may have blasted the hopes for little money to pay on rent to save evic- ton or on pressing bills. Who knows?
 It Is no joke to be looking for work and be turned away.
 It is just such wealthy snobs as these friends of MT. Brown who by their callous feeling for the workingman, by their indifference for and contempt of the welfare of honest working people--it is these Gallios, who care not. who are widening the breach between capital and labor s.a
 When decent, deserving, calloused handed laborers can be cruelty used to point the jests and adorn the practical jokes of rich young lazaroni such an episodes becomes a social tragedy.
 How one wishes some of those big listed workngmen might have located the perpetrators of the jokel
 Master Harry Buehler, aged 15, ran away from his homo at Cleveland. He landed in Chicago, seeking his fortune.
 And this is the way he managed his Journey westward:

 Arriving in a strange city, he applied

ments toward the female members of our community. And he kept right on accord in to his logic till he come to covet Bill Stark's wife. When man kicks his moral breechin' off he can covet anything without a qualm, and Mary Stark was the prettiest woman in the valley. She had married Bill because he had helt on to her till she said yes but she knowed no more about love than hen-sparrow do about spring. And she would have lived and died none the wiser, as most women do, if it hadn't been for Horton.
 Now, it won't do to covet another mans wife in this valley. When it comes to that we go by the same law Moses had for coachin' them shilly-shallyin' 1s- raelites through the wilderness And in particular it was mistake for Horton to covet Bill Stark's wife. And if he hadn't been dern fool he'd knowed bet ter than to tech anything that belonged to a man with a face like a wise. 'Tain't wise to take any chances with a quiet man, whose under jaw sets out beyond the upper one, and not if his mouth is a straight, thin-lipped crack between, if his eyes air dull blue, if he has a good stout nose and ha'r that naturally bris- ties. And that's fine picture of Bill in them days. His legs were warped some, and he want what you call a gentle man, but, jumping cats, he was manl Still, Horton couldn't take warnin be- cause Bill was so dull and dumb. He so pintedly despised him for bein that way that he finally wheedled Mary off to his shack up wonder on Blood Mountain one day without so much as an umbrella to hide 'em from Bill 7,
 'I recollect it so well, it was in the early spring We were burnin' brush in the fields, gittin' ready for the plowin' and the air was full of smoke and the faint sweet smell of wild flowers. Me and Jim Bledso were in the new ground at the foot of the mountain, with Hor- tons shack settin' on the ridge just above. About the middle of the afternoon, as we stood by a pile of burnin' logs we seen Horton and Mary pass up the little trail toward the shack. He was talkin' grand, as usual, we could tell by the tone of his voice, and recollect how wild and white her face looked as she went by, as if she were in kind of trance.
 ''I was all of tremble when the door shet behind 'em, and l says to Jim:
 "'Lands sake, what must we do?'
 ''But Jim had took one look at them two and now he was runnin' like all pos- sessed down into the holler where Bill was also burnin' logs.

After all said. sir, the man-killin' in- stinct is the strongest one a real man has. I ain't sayin' it's strongest in a highly civilized person, but sech one IS apt to be shorn and shaven of some of his elements as a man. What mean is that it takes a right smart of savage for a fellow to keep on bein man under some circumstances, and as Bill Stark clumb that mountain he was all savage and mighty nigh all tiger. l was so skeert thinkin' what I'd see when he reached the shack that I tried to turn round and look t'other way, but couldn't do it. He want moren five yards away when the door opened and Horton come out to meet him with the white fool look man would have at such a time. don't know whether he aimed to fight or just to argue as usual, for Bill lit on him be- fore he could speak.
 Mister, did you ever see two men fight to kill one another with their bare fists? There ain't no more terrible sight in na- ture Shootin in a duel would look sort CT finicky and ladylike by the side of it. This one I'm tellin' you of was more like a frst-class dog fight than anything else. Them two were clamped together as tight as the hug of hate could draw 'em. They ripped and tore the earth with their heels and tore and bit one another with their teeth Lord, sir, 1t makes me sick yet to think of that sight! And all this time that poor little fig of woman inside the house didn't show her face
 Presently I saw Stark stumble as if he were about to fall. Now I never heard of the wronged man gittin' the worst of it in such fight, but for all I knowed 1t might happen, and yelled to Jim Bledso comin' across the field
 Dang it, Jim,' says I, we ain't goin' to stand here and let that polecat murder Bill, air we?'
 "'No,' sez he, as we hurried up the trail together, and we won't let Bill git into trouble for kllin' skunk, neither
 Well, sir, we got there just in time to keep him from chokin' Horton to death. lney were lylHS ctdhipeu toSctHci on tlio ground covered with blood, and Bill had his hand on Horton's throat.

And with that we drug 'em apart. Bill rig and started for the house. blind mad still. Horton shet his eyes. gasped and swallowed to git his tongue back in.

 Pappy paused, knocked the hot embers out of his pipe, tilted his head back against the logs of the house and coined his face into a witty smile.
 I've had a fellow like that in here once. He was prospector named Horton. from the north somewhere. And he'd set on top of worm fence half a day arguin that 1t want ethical for man to have anything of his own. Lowed it was self ish; that we ought to hold everything in common And it was interestin' to hear him, for he had the grandest lot of tear bringin'. soul-pulln' words you-ever list ened to, but he was as innocent of morals as a jackass. He talked wrong so well that nobody could answer him, and l didn't try to.

If you recol- feet, there's right smart in the Ten Commandments agin stealth. It don't just say Thou shalt not steal but the Lord, knowin' how prone man air to take all he can git, put In this. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours stuff, neither his OK nor his ass, nor his maid-servant, nor his wife, nor anything that is thy neigh bor's.' Them sentiments air the high tariff of the Scriptures. Mister. and it. won't do to monkey with 'em. But that's there Horton trapped his pertater. Noth- in happeGed to him so long as he took his say out again Adam and Eve, lowed there want no such person as Jonah that the sun never stood still the way Josh said it did and that it was pint blank lie about Moses partin' the Red sea with @ stammerin' rod. None of us set any great store upon them little ex- aggerations of the Scriptures. But when l see that fellow making up to the wo- men with his fine clothes and sech talk as that morals were jest customs, like partin' their hair in the middle. knowed his time was short.

 Dr. Rustin, of Omaha, Neb., tried to lead the dual life.
 He was a brilliant surgeon, of good family, highly educated. urbane. skillful, popular. E. H. Harrnman said he would one day be the chief surgeon of the Union Pacific railway.
 But, though the Dr. Jekyll of him was in the majority, the MT. Hyde of him was busy and insistent. The minority part suggested liqour and drugs as 'fstimu- lants." Under their influence Rustin' 5 quick brain slowed up and his delft hand lost its cunning. Practice dropped off. Financial troubles came.
 Slowly. surely, the fiend Hyde absorbed the Dr. Jekyl.
 Becoming master, he whispered in Rus tins ears that morphine was too weak. Cocainei
 Rustin obeyed the suggestion. Then Hyde became a tyrant. He told Rustin to steal from his fellow physicians and the hospitals. He ordered him to find his agreeable company with low women and
