CHAPTER VI.

Death. Life and the Resurrection.
The man was coming back from one
of his rare visits to the settlements.
Ahead of him he drove a train Of
burros who, we'll broken to their work,
followed with docility the wise old
leader In the advance. The burros
we're laden with his supplies for the
approaching winter The season was
late. the mountains would soon be i'm
passable on account OF the SHOWS, in
deed he chose the late season always
for his buying in order that he might
not be followed, and 1t was his hab-
1t to buy in different places at different
years that his repeated and expected
presence at one spot might not arouse
suspicion.
Intercourse with his fellow men was
confined to this yearly visit to set
Element, and even that was Of the
briefest nature, confined always to the
business in hand, Even when busy
in the town he pitched small tent In
the open on the outskirts and dwelt
apart. No men there in those days
pried into the business Of other men
too closely. Curiosity was neither
safe nor necessary. If he aroused tran
silent interest or speculation It soon
died away. He vanished into the
mountains and as he came no more
to that place, he was soon forgotten.
Withdrawing from his fellow men
hnfr cnninfU
was never so satisfied as when alone
In the silent hills. His heart and spirit
rose with every step he made away
from the main travelled roads or the
more difficult mountain trails.
For several days he journeyed
through the mountains, choosing the
widest and most inaccessible parts
for his going Amid the canons and
peaks he threaded his way with I'M
erring accuracy, ascending higher and
higher until at last he reached the
mountain aerie, the lonely hermitage,
where he made his home. There he
reVeled in his isolation. What had
been punishment, expiation, had at
last become pleasure.
Civilization was bursting through
the hills in every direction, railways
were being pushed hither and thither,
the precious metals were being dis
covered at various places and after
them came boards of men and with
tnem-God save the mark-women;
put his section of the country had
hitherto been unvisited even by hunt
ers' explorers, miners or pleasure

ANNAPOLIS NEWS
Charged With Violating Local
Option Law Score OF
Other Arrests
Expected.

Annapolis Five men are in the
county Jail here awaiting a hearing
and warrants are out for the arrest OF
a score of others as the result OF q
quiet but systematic crusade carried
on by the Anne Arundel county au-
thorities for several weeks to stamp
out the sale of liquor in local option
sections of the county The men now
locked up are:
Charles Boyd of South Stricken
street Baltimore.
Charles w. Houck.
Jesse Conway.
Charles Lessner.
Frank Hess.
Four of the prisoners live in the dis
trict of the county in which the violar
tions are alleged to have occurred
Despite the fact that this is prohibi>
ton territory under the local law. IL
has been known for several years that
30 or more persons, particularly thoss
having resorts along the shore of the
Magothy river, have been selling In
toXicants under Federal licenses. At
tention of the county authorities had
been called to the situation repeatedly.
but somehow only a few offenders
have been brought to justice. Now
however, it is understood that States
Attorney n. II. Green and Sheriff
George r. Beasley have gathered much
evidence against the alleged speak
easies and that wholesale arrests Will
follow.
James P. Bannon, an attorney and at
one time prominent in Democratic
politics in the county, is said to be
prominent in the present crusade. He
and two detectives hired by him are
alleged to have furnished much of the
evidence against the proprietors OF
places for whom warrants have been
issued. Mr.. Bannon's deep interest ID
not understood, except that he is SAID
to be working in behalf of the ANTI
Saloon League.

OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS.

The progress of Vermont in education
al matters in the last decade has been
illustrated recently by the marked re-
duction in our percentage of illiteracy.
No state north of Mason and Dixons
line and east of the Dakotas showed
such a percentage of reduction of int-
eracy during the past decade as did
Vermont, and our state ranks first in
New England in freedom from ilhteracy.
1t has also been announced recently
that Vermont and Massachusetts are
tied for first place in the Union in per-
centage of school attendance of persons
from to IA years, the record for the
two states being 92.9. Only other states
show a percentage of 80 or more This
able naturally includes the largest part
of the pupils of this country, but an
other tabulation of school attendance
has been made of school attendance OF
persons from to 20 years of age in
elusive, and again Vermont stands at
the head, being tied with Kansas on tho
highest percentage, 70.6.
In 1906, when SO many reform meas
ures were passed by the Vermont legis-
lature, the district supervision law and
more stringent school attendance law
were enacted. In 1906 the average daily
attendance in the schools of Vermont
was 4S,31S. In 1910 it had amounted to
52,104. The record for 1912 is not yet
available, but 1t is evident that the new
laws adopted in 1906 together with the
faithful enforcement of the same, have
made possible Vermont's splendid re-
cord.
Another gain has been made, not
generally known. The average monthly
wage paid to women teachers in the
elementary schools of the state has in
creased from $29.63 In 1906 to $3.50 in
1912. or an increase of us per cent in
six years.
The number of persons teaching one
term of school only dropped from 1917
in 1908 to 1923 in 1910 The number Of
persons teaching only two terms dropped
in the same period from SS7 to 6s5 The
number Of teachers retained for more
than one year In the same school in
creased from 1927 in 1903 to 1916 in 1910.
All these figures show a gratifying
gain in the educational life of Vermont.
Some very interesting figures could be
given regarding the success of the
teacher training courses. This state has
not stood so well in educational matters
for many years as it does today OF
course many improvements are possible
but 1t is evident that the wise educa-
| tional leadership under which these
notable gains have been made should be

There is one part of the rule of the
road" of importance to all who travel
the highways, which perhaps is not I'M
derstood as well as it ought to be. 1t is
found in Act. 14l, Sec. l, and reads as
follows: "A person driving or riding
horse, draft animal or operating an auto
mobile or motor vehicle shall, on over
taking a horse, draft animal or vehicle
when II is safe and practicable to do
so, pass on the left side thereof, and the
person riding or driving a horse or draft
animal OF operating an automobile or
motor vehicle, SHALL when it is safe and
practicable to do so, turn to the right so
as TO allow free passage to the left.
This is plain, but ii seems that there is
either no knowledge of 1t or II is misun-
derstood, more especially in the rural
districts. 1t simply means that the horse
or vehicle ahead should always keep to
the right. II should not turn out to the left
so that those behind may keep to the
right Their place is not the right, IL is
at the left If there be a misunder-
standing about this there is opportunity
for accidents In truth, such misunder-
standing has already caused accidents
The man behind, expecting the man
ahead to keep to the right, makes his
turn to the left. The man ahead. not
obeying the law of the road" but not
meaning any wrong, also turns to the
left and the crash follows. For viola
ton of this section of the law there is
a penalty of $40 But not so much to
avoid a fine as to avoid an accident
should careful observance of this section
be had.-ISt. Adams Messenger.

Balley's Dark Prophecy.

Senator Joseph W. Bailey OF Texas,
who is about to quit the Senate, and
probably retires from public life, goes
out with words of dire prophecy on his
lips. He says that If the country
changes as much in the next 30
years as it has in the past 80 we
shall be face to face with a revolution
akin to the famous violence and blood
shed that occurred in France about a
century and a quarter ago.
Senator Bailey is not the only one
who is thinking and saying these things.
and yet there is insufficient justifica-
ton for such dark pictures. BY the end
of the next 30 years the social and eco
nomic changes necessary to give the
nation readjustment will have oc-
CURED, and instead of being on the
verge of revolution, as the Texas sena-
tor predicts, we shall be well into an
era OF economic justice.
This can and will be brought about
without shedding blood, and 1t will come
through the halls OF legislation. backed
by public opinion. The change will oc-
cur slowly, and not without setbacks
and heartburns, but ii will come ana
without the placing OF anybody's head
on pike.-[Boston Globe.
