INSIDE Of two years have pointed
ut two fathers to their children
yours and his, Jane. Your mothers
IRE dead. There isn't much choice as
- fathers. II / were you, I'd say |
had the better of the bargain. Take
an old mans advice, both Of you, and
let bygones be bygones. Start life
now, Just as II nothing had happened
before, and get every atom OF happi-
meas out Of it that you can. Don't you
two pay for the sins Of your fathers"
Il couldn't live In New York II he
were living here" murmured Jane.
ssHey, waiter, your BILL" said broom.
with sudden harshness.
It was showing and the wind was
blowing a gale when they emerged
from the place. Jane hung heavily
upon Graydon's arm. He could feel
that she was sobbing. He did not
dare to look into her face, but he felt
something cruelty triumphant surging
fn his heart. Elias broom waited I'M
tn their cab came up. Then he offered
his hand to both hesitatingly, even
timidly.
GOOD night. Be happy. There is
nothing else left for you but that

Eyes"
Graydon, rejoicing In his final vic
tory, hurried to his rooms later in the
evening. AS he was about to enter
the elevator he noticed a gray suited
boy In brass buttons, who stood near
by, an inquiring look in his face.
This is Mr.. Bansemer," observed
the laconic youth who ran the single
elevator in the apartment building.
Something for meT demanded
Graydon, turning to the boy in gray.
Special delivery letter, sir. Sign
here"
Graydon took the thick envelope
from the boys hand. With a start, he
recognized his fathers handwriting.
Curiously he turned the letter over In
his fingers as he assembled In the car,
wonder growing in his brain. He did
not wait to remove his overcoat on en-
tering his rooms, but strobe to the light
and nervously tore open the envelope.
Dread. hope, anxiety, conspired to
make his fingers tremble. There were
many closely written pages. How well
he remembered his fathers writingl
AS he read his eyes grew wide with
wonder and unbelief. They raced
through the pages, wonder giving way
to Joy and exultation as he neared the
end of the astounding message from
the faraway prisoner.

marrow was not from
the blizzard that swept down upon
him. The gaunt gray look in his face
was not that of hunger or want. There
was fever in his brain and chill In his
heart Ee had forgotten James trivial
tragedy. His one overwhelming thought
was Of James Bansemer.
The heavy ulster was unbuttoned. and
the snowfiakes pelted in against his
neglected shirt front. A doorman call
ed HIS attention to the oversight. He
came to himself, drew the coat close
about his long frame and hurried Off
down Fifth avenue. The storm was so
vicious that he boarded a crosstown
car at Forty street A man ell
bowed him in the narrow vestibule. He
looked up and gasped aloud In sudden
terror. An instant later he laughed at
his fears. The man was not James
Bansemer. A cold perspiration started
out over his body, however. Through
his brain there went racing the ever
revolving cry:

The hour was not late, but the bliz-

were obliged to brave the storm. AS

became possessed of racking belief
that some one was following close upon
his heels-some one who was rushing
up to deal him murderous blow In the
back. The old man actually broke into
a frantic run In covering the last half
block
It was not until he was In his rooms,
with the door bolted. that he could rid
himself of the dread. The fire had
gone out, and the light was low. His
teeth chartered and his hand shook as
he raised the wick In the lamp. The
palsy Of inexplicable fear was upon
him. Kneeling before the stove, he be-
ran to rebuild the fire. His back was
toward the door, and he turned an
anxious face in that direction from
time to time. Footsteps on the stair
way sent a chill through his gaunt
frame. They passed on up the next
1ight, but he waited breathlessly until
be heard the door Of the apartment
above slam noisily.
For half an hour he sat huddled In
front of the stove without removing

ORGANIZING
Open Next Monday With I'M
proved Courses Of Study
and Teachers.

All this week Superintendent
Powers and Principal Kirk of the
Salem public schools are very busy
at their offices in the high school
building for the formal opening OF
the schools next Monday. : All new
students are requested 10 call at the
office OF the principal on the second
floor and get their courses OF study
arranged and select their textbooks
so as to be ready for the work OF
the term.
Favors Athletics.
Principal Kirk has been In South
Dakota high school work for the past
seven years and is an all-round friend
OF public school athletics. He is an
advocate OF clean athletics for boys
and girls. The Salem high school
will probably maintain a baseball
team and q football team. Mr.. Kirk
thinks there Is room In the high
schools and the higher grades for
more track athletics. as giving a
chance for more students to parti-
cipate. He thinks girls should not
be limited to basketball, as IL is IL
able to be abused and is too violent
for many girls TO participate In. He
would substitute gymnasium work
for too much attention 10 the team
games. Mr.. Kirk will prove a very
pleasant man for the boys to meet
and indications are that he will wear
well although this is a larger field
than he hRs hitherto worked in,

lie schools are being built up and

are doing goes here. Mr., Powers

man who has a strong grip on all the

people are clamoring for such n mu-
nicipal law RAynoldsville does not
have such law, and there does not
seem 10 be any person sufficiently in
terested To agitate the passage of a
curfew ordinance. 1t Is certainly not
because such law is not neoued for
entirely too many boys and girls OF
tender age run the streets of our town
after the hours that the curfew would
ring, and If parents are careless or
Indifferent about this matter, a curfew
law would be good thing, for the boys
ana girls will find greater temptations
for evil in the evening time than they
will in daylight, but we believe that
the most successful curfew law is one
that is enacted by the parents and that
they see that it is rigidly enforced

night don't be surprised If they fail

Sacrificed Their Lives In an Attempt

In days gone by the Zulus were
the boldest fighters among all the ma
tives of South Africa, and 1t was not
until they had been defeated in sew
eral battles that they would live in
peace with white people.
In 1878 $4,000 of the Zulus attacked
and killed regiment Of British sol
diers, and most heroic deed was the
attempt made by three British SOL
diers to save the two flags, or colors
belonging to the regiment.
When It was seen that the Zulus
were so maEy that there was no hope
Of keeping them at bay the colonel Of
the British regiment called to a young
officer whose name was Lieutenant
Melvill and said. you will take
charge of the colors. Melvill, and try
to get away from here"
The lieutenant saluted and took into
his hands the two colors of his regi-
ment. Then, with another officer and

suddenly dashed away with his pre-
cious burden.
They were at once seen by the keen
sighted Zulus. however. and after a
long chase the three gallant English
men. fighting to the last. were killed
by the enemy
Some time afterward one Of the flags
was found rcar Il rocky stream, where

Probation Officers.

The bill passed by the Pennsylvania
legislature providing that the state pay
the probation officers for looking after
children sentenced by the juvenile court,
is an excellent bill. The probation Of
fcer holds an important position and it
is right that the state should pay such
officers. Heretofore this work has been
carried on entirely through private
philanthropy. The most difficult part
Of dealing with the prisoner is the i'm
provement Of him. The easiest thing
in the world is to shut boy up in Jail
and keep him there till his term is
served. What is difficult is to let him
out, to teach him to be a man and to
foster in him sense OF honor and up-
rightness. And those who are intrusted
with this most difficult and responsible
task should be paid for it.
