Dallas had filed the coffee pail with
snow. Now she gathered up the chips,
lit them and pried up the wide board
Of the mantel. This she split with the

Then she spread cloth and turned
the wheat and corn sacks out upon 1t.
She got handful of -four. With this
she thickened the water. Three cups
were sitting upon the floor. She took

sitting up.
Dallas went back to the other cup.
well, what do you think I'm doing?'
she asked and lifted 1t to her lips.
Soon the three were lying shoulder
to shoulder again, the section boss
drawing q little added comfort from
his pipe. Before long he was asleep;
Marylyn too. Then Dallas got up
cautiously and brewed a cup of pep
pered water for herself. The hot
draft relieved the pangs of her hunger.
She lay down again.
Hours later she was awakened by
hearing faint squeals directly over
head. Hastily she lit the lantern and
took down the Sharps. then stepped
directly under the sounds and poked
the rifles muzzle into the hay Of the
roof. Above, storm driven and crowd
Ing one another against the stones OF
the chimney, were some pigsl
In her eagerness she trembled SO
violently that she became unsteady on
her feet. 1t lost her the opportunity of

blind aim. the squeals suddenly died

came unbearable. She gave quick
glance around the room, then, crossing
to her father, pulled at his arm. "If
you kill Simon, there's no wood to do
any cooking" she said. Better wait,
dad-hour or two, please"
He twisted from under her hand and
scowled up. "Shucks. he answered

swung the Ratchet with fresh zeal.
She fingered a moment, smiling grim
ly. 1t was only a play for time. She
knew very well that there would be
timber when her father reached Simon's
stall.
Lancaster was making fast progress.
The log upon which he worked was
dry from the heat OF the hearth. 1t
splintered like weathered pine. A Sec
ton of 1t was seen cut away so far
that a Anal blow with the Ratchet head
drove 1t in.s 1t rolled to the noses of
the mules. Lancaster thrust his head
through the hole.
Between the scantlings that penned
Simon into his part of the lean-to the
section boss spied two glowing eyes.
They watched him, then the door, then
him again. "M-m-m-mr came a deep
protest, as the bull blew and paved at
the dirt floor
The section boss drew back nervous
| ly. "Simon's actin funny" he said.
"He's locoed or he's smelt a MICE"
He got no answer. Dallas was In the
corner farthest from him, crowded
| against the logs. Her arms were
raised. Her head rested between them.
Lancaster grunted disgustedly and
fell to chopping again. The opening
in the wall was not quite wide enough
up and down for his body. He en-
larged it by cutting away at the lower
side Finally, satisfied with its size, he
unpinned the shoulder blanket, freed
his feet and, crawled through.
And now Dallas looked around, fas-
tening her eyes upon the dark hole be-
yond the hearth. Beside 1t the Ian
tern burned with sickly fume. ITS
murder! It's murder! It's murder!'
she breathed.
| Marylyn tossed, moaning. Dallas ran
to her. There she stayed, eyes and
ears buried In the bedclothes.
Within the lean-to a curious parley
was being held. Lancaster was stand
ing Ratchet in hand. at the bar OF
Simon's pen. Behind him was the sta
BILE door; before him, just out of reach,
the bull. Simon was not paving now.
His fore feet were opened wide; his
nose touched the ground between
them. He was alternately mooing and
blowing, and his angry eyes were
fixed not on the section boss. but on
the bottom of the door.

out. The pigs had gone over toward
the edge of the lean-to.
When next she awoke-awoke from
a dream of we'll spread tables-she
could not guess how much time had
passed or whether 1t was day or night.
The shack was pitch dark. OF one
thing she could be sure-the storm
had not abated. so there was no hope
of aid
She knew something must be done.
Simon and the team wrung her heart
with their pleas. Beside her Marylyn
was turning with fretful complaints.
The younger girl rolled her head from
side to side constantly and moistened
her lips. Dallas chopped up the rifle
rack and made fire of 1t. then piled
Marylyn with more of the pepper tea.
The section boss refused to partake.
The first cup. he said. had burned him.
Tobacco was better solace.
Dallas did not taste the tea either.
A fearful nausea beset her. Her heart
went like a trip hammer. She wrap
ped up. turning her back to the blaze.
Oddly enough. her father did not make
second attack on the log. His
perique went far toward helping him
fight the gnawing of hunger. He could
afford. having TO endure little pain. to
let the hours bring Dallas to tie Toint
where she would ask the life OF the
bull. He knew where she was most
vulnerable. When Marylyn turned from
the tea that now partially eased her
hunger and began a demand for food,
Simon would die.
1t came sooner than the section boss
expected. His lethargic sleep was
broken by Dallas shaking him. AS he
opened his eyes she thrust the Ratchet
into his hands.
Dad" she said hurriedly, get up
You got to do it-for Marylyn-for

To him 1t was a real victory. He
wrenched a quid from his tobacco

arose. Dallas had lighted the lantern

A Bad Condition of Affairs.

The local Merchants Associa-
ton is III a fair way to make things
lively around this town. It has
issued a credit book, giving each
person a rating. This book is not
the milk in the cocoanut. Last
week it made a statement to the
Minister'S Association and asked
them to preach a sermon on the
subject of not paying a just debt,
The various ministers took the
matter under advisement and
some of them, it appears have
been investigating. Yesterday
morning DR.. Detwiler, at West
Market church, referred to the
matter just before his sermon and
woke up some of the brelMtn6sNt
the So clock service at Grace M.
P. church, the pastor, Rev. T. J,
Ogburn, is said to have taken the
hide along with the hair on the
question of not paying ones debts.
This is a deplorable situation. 1t
is said that the Merchants Asso-
citation has due it some 500, 900 in
Greensboro, most of which it is
impossible to collect. So bad is
the situation that all agitation has
been started all over the State to
repeal the homestead exemption
law of this State. - Greensboro

In all the towns where a news

more than a card stating his name
and the business he is engaged
in. 1t nearly always pays the ad-

at a distance know that the town
in which you reside Is a prosper

is hereby offered. This prince

miles away. He did that to save
travelling expenses. After the mar

around the square for a bridal

A Strange Fish in Kansas,

A great many guesses have been
made today by the residents OF
Fairbury az to the name of a cou.
pie of animals, or fish, whichever
they may be, brought in by Gus
Bitter, a Rock Island engineer,
when he returned on his run to
Belleville, Kansas.
In appearance the things re-
semble a channel catfish, being Of
the same color and shape, but
they have four legs and each leg a
foot with five toes. Immediate
ly back of the head three growths
appear on each of the animals.
The strangers seem to get around
every bit as we'll on dry land as
they do in water. They have been
on exhibition all day today and
hundreds Of persons have seen
them, but no one has been found
who ever had seen anything like
them before. Bitter caught them
in 9 pool of water near Belleville
yesterday. He says there are
many specimens in the Belleville
neighborhood, but nobody there
seems to know what they are. The
animals appear to be vicious and
snap at anything held near them.

EARLY IS NOT A lEPER.
Mrs. EARLY While in Salisbury Tells Report
er White Spots Were Caused by Acid.


Mrs. Early, wife of John R.
Early, now quarantined on the
Potomac flats in Washington D.
G., because of symptoms of leper-
cy, was in the city Thursday night.
She was on her way to Washing
ton to see her husband and while
here she was interviewed by the
Charlotte Observers reporter, who
writes that paper as follows:
"She was accompanied by her
mother and carried her little l.
year-old boy, who is giving the
leper much concern, lest the dread
disease be in his body. Mrs. Ear
ly came in on the belated Ashe-
Vile train and took the next north
bound passenger train to Wash
ington. She says she knows moth
ing of her husbands strange i'll
ness until she saw an account Of it
in a newspaper Tuesday. She is
10th to believe that Early has lep-
rocy, but in the face of the doc
tors diagnosis of the case she fears
the worst. Mrs. Early says her
husband at one time worked in a
place where a strong acid was used
and which when it touched the
flesh burned blisters and left white
spots resembling a white ulcer and
that he was burned q number of
times by this solution scattering
on him. She was exceeding anx-
ious to hurry to her husband, al
though realizing the fact that she
would only he allowed to get with
in a short distance of his tent"
A dispatch from Washington to
the same paper Saturday says:
"Ths Spanish War Veterans
yesterday passed resolutions Sc
verely censuring the Washington
health authoritier for the location
of early. camp in q low, fiat and
damp place near the river.
"The acting health officer, Mr..
Mclean, today issued q state
ment in reply, in which he says:
"We have done everything in
our power to make him comfort
able. Do the Spanish War Veter-
ans think the District health Of
icers have not as much pity as
they have for this unfortunate
man, who has served his country
long and ~honorably? I myself
come of soldier stock, and my
father and my brother are filling
soldier graves. The fact that this
man is a soldier would appeal as
strongly to me as to anyone. l
do not think it necessary or pos
slble to take any action on the
complaint made by the Spanish
War Veterans.
eff we decide to keep Early here
permanently we will build a house
for him. It is possible his camp
may later be moved to some other
spot. The people of Washington
may be assured, however, that so
long as Early remains here he will
receive the best possible care"
