THE LAW IN
THE VALLEY.
BY Mrs. L. H. HARRIS

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 Lee. I'll send her up here to
fetch and carry for you. We been tryin'
to git a home for her, and 1t seems she
might "a been yourn. So you got to
take and keep her. We amt goin' to
git no divorce. We air fined together
so long as we live and I'll see that you
don't forget it from this time
'I stood by the door lookin' at Mary
after her husband was gone. She didn't
move, and it want just his anger that
made her hang against the table so
limp like a withered spring bough. 1t
was her shame. A woman can't stand
that kind of shame, sir. AS seen
Mary droopin' lower and lower In her
chair, and thought Of the night comm
on, and of her up that alone with just
that, 1 stepped in and laid my hand on
her head.
Poor gall sez.
"Then she raised up very slow and
looked at me. I turned my head away.
I couldn't bar 1t, that look on wo-
mans face. She didn't speak, and l
backed out without another word, be-
cause, dang 1t! there want anything
fitten to say.
well, sir, from that day Mary Stark
begun to serve her long, long sentence
in that lonesome house on Blood Noun
tain, nor she never set foot in the val
ley, nor spoke to a soul. Bill sent the
little gal up next day, but he never
went near the place. Folks in the val
ley knowed what had happened, but
for once they didn't NEEDLE. At the
very beginnin' Brother Milum lowed
he aimed to go up and see what could
be done; but he had to pass by Bills
door to get to the trail up the noun
tain and Bill seen him.
"'You can't go!' sez he.
"Tm Mary's pastor sez Milum.
"I don't keer If you were her guar
dian angel, you can't go!' sez he again.
"'You amt actin like human be-
in sez Milum, gittin' 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 HIM
self and stood there preachin at Bill,
but he didn't go up to have prayers
with Mary. An once after that old
Misses Snow lowed as she was presi-
dent of the Foreign Missionary society
1t was her duty to go and see what
could be done for Mary in a spiritual
way. Well, sir, in about an hour here
she come back, red as turkey cock In
the face and abusin' Bill for every
thing she could think of. She made
straight for his house and lit in. Bill
Stark sez she, I been up yonder to
see your wife
Ibid she make you welcome" sez
he, not even lookin' at her. Ma, she
| didn't She dassant speak to a soul
but that ill-begotten child you sent
up there to torment her with. and I'm
here a-purpose to tell you that your
conduct is that of tyrant and a cow

my conduct, Misses Snow sez he, but

n. msnae. Of 100000, 900 Rats

The Menace of 100000 Rats.-I
learned something that morning visit
ing an Indian school, says F. c. Coop
er. learned that throughout the
United States there are about five rats
for every human being, and as we
have a population Of about 1OO,OOO,Ooo
persons, we are feeding a rat popula-
ton of some 50O,00O,OO0! At a rate OF
two cents a day, each rat costs US
close to $3.50 q year! You can figure
for yourself what the total rat popu-
lation of our entire country costs US.
In the state Of Indiana alone, the daily
cost for rats, at this rate, Is something
like 100000! The loss to other states
is not one of rats but rather OF en-
lightment Indiana does things, but
it has had to struggle to do them!
Under the supervision Of DR.. j. N.
Hurty of the state board of health,
the rat and its relation to the destruc-
ton of property and health are to be
studied in all the public schools
throughout the state. A section Of the
law now makes it the duty Of school
and health authorities to provide
charts, textbooks, ETC., in order to car
ry out the details Of the plan In
most efficient manner. Doctor Hurty's
rat chart is to be placed in every
school room, and every teacher is pro-
vided with an interesting pamphlet
which outlines the life story of the rat
and in such a simple and direct man
ner that any child can understand. In
structions in how to make buildings
and dwellings "rat-proof' will also be
given. The people are in earnest:
Failure to reach this subject in the
schools is punishable with fine Of
from SO to s25.
All this, Of course. is only one phase
Of the question and Of what Indiana
intends to do. The important thing to
bear in mind is the fact that there Is
one state in the Union with sufficient
foresight and "awareness" to know a
menace when it sees one, and to take
present steps and far-seeing ones both
for the present and on-coming gener-
ations. The last session Of the 1ndi-
! ana state Legislature made all this pos
sible, but not without some thought
and some struggle on the part OF
somebody Technical World Maga-
zine.
