NEW SCHOOL is A MODEL
Nevv York Nov In Possession Of Pub
lie Institution to Accom-
modate $500.

New York.-The worlds most up-to-
date school il now q part CT New
York's educational system as a result
Of the opening here OF the city's new
est high school, which at the same
time Is one that In the opinion OF IA
nous educators, marks the beginning
Of a new educational epoch.
This unique school will be larger
than any except few of the great
universities, having accommodations
for $500 pupils and 22S instructors.
It's curriculum will include many
branches of practical training on a
scale not hitherto attempted.
For example, there is a seven-room
furnished apartment, in which the stu
dents Of domestic science can strug-
gle with the problems of housekeep-
ing under actual conditions, and q
model banking institution in which the
future leaders Oh high finance can
master its intricacies in a manner
never before possible.
Then there is q garment factory
with many sewing rooms in; which
management and other details OF the
garment trade will be taught, a book
binding plant in which pupils may
take complete course in this indus
try. a miniature ZOO" for the study
of animal life and roof conservatory
in which horticultural knowledge may
be gained in regular classes.
While vocational training is provid-
ed for in many ways hitherto unat-
tempted, the care of the physical vel
fare and recreation of the students
has been provided for along lines
equally unique. For these purposes
the new school contains theater with
a seating capacity Of 1900, in which
histrionic ability may be encouraged;
basketball courts, gymnasiums in
which particular attention will be paid
to the physical deficiencies Of the stu
dents together with their upbuilding.
shower baths and a lunchroom in
which 700 pupils can eat at one time.

precarious foothold In the sand,
cleaned the solitary Indian fire.
About its embers, no doubt, squatted
the chiefs and older warriors, feast
ing and taking council, while the
younger bucks lay, rifles in hand,
along the night-enshrouded slope,
their cruel, vengeful eyes seeking to
distinguish the outlines of the coach
against the black curtain of the bluff.
This had proven thus far their sal
vation-that steep uplift Of earth
against which the stage had crashed
in it's mad dash-for its precipitant
front had compelled the savages to at
tack from one direction only, slight
overhang, not unlike roof, making it
impossible even to shoot down from
above But this same sharp incline
was not likewise a preventive of es-
cape. Hamlin shook his head as he
recalled to mind it's steep ascent,
without root or shrub to cling to. No,
it would never do to attempt that; not
with her. Perhaps alone he might
scramble up gOmehow, but with her
the feat would be impossible. He dis
missed this as hopeless, his memory
Of their surroundings drifting from
point to point aimlessly. He saw the
whole barren vista as it last stood re-
vealed under the glow Of the sun-the
desolate plateau above, stretching
away into the dim north, the brown
level of the plains, broken only by
sharp assures in the surface, treeless,
extending for unnumbered leagues. To
east and west the valley, now scarcely
more green than those upper plains,
bounded by its verdureless bluffs, ran
crookedly, following the river course,
it's only sign Of white dominion the
rutfed trail. Beyond the stream there
extended miles Of white sand-dunes,
Enthusiastically shapen by the wind,
gradually changing into barren plains
Of alkali Between crouched the Wig
liant Indian sentinels, alert and re.
vengeful.

excitement. "Now you and / must

her hand. you must not give up now. +"
She offered no resistance. but sat
motionless, her face turned away.
Yet she knew she trembled from head
to foot, the reaction mastering her. A
red tongue Of flame seemed to slit the
outside blackness; there was single
sharp report, echoing back from the
bluff. but no sound of the striking bull
let. Just an instant he caught a
glimpse of her face, as she drew back,
startled.
ooh, they are coming again! What
shall we DOR
NO." he insisted, still retaining her
hand, confident In his judgment
Those fellows will not attempt to
rush us again tonight. You must
keep cool, for we shall need all our
wits to get away. An Indian never
risks night assault, unless it is a
surprise. He wants to see what he is
up against. Those bucks have got all
they want of this outfit; they have
no reason to suppose any of us were
hit. They are as much afraid as we
are, but when it gets daylight, and
they can see the shape we're in, then
they'll come yelling"
"But they can lie out there in the
dark and shoot" she protested. THAT
shot was aimed at us, wasn't it,"

here. Don't let that worry you; If an
Indian ever hits anything with gun
it's going to be by pure accident" He
stared out of the window. They're
liable to bang away occasionally, and
suppose it is up to us to make some
response just to tell them we're
awake and ready. But they amt fir

attract attention while they haul off
their dead. There's red snake yon-

There is no use denying we are IN a
mighty bad hole. If Moylan hadn't

How still the night was, and dark;
although the sky was cloudless, the
stars shone clearly away up in the
black vault. Not even the howl of a
distant coyote broke the silence. To
the left, seemingly full half-mile dis

CHAPTER VII.
Plans for Escape.


Desperate as he certainly felt their
situation to be, for moment or two
Hamlin was unable to cast aside the
influence of the girl, or concentrate
his thoughts on some plan for escape.
1t may have been the gentle pressure
of her hand upon his sleeve, but her
voice continued to ring in his ears. He
had never been a woman's man, nor
was he specially interested in this
woman beside him. He had seen her
fairly, with his first appreciative
glance, when he had climbed into the
stage on the preceding day. He had
realized there fully the charm of her
face, the dark roguish eyes, the clear
skin, the wealth of dark hair. Yet
all this was impersonal; however
pretty she might be, the fact was
nothing to him and never could be.
Knowing who she was, he compre-
hended instantly the social gulf
stretching unbridged between them.
An educated man himself, with family
connections he had long ago ceased
to discuss, he realized his present
position more keenly than he other
wise might. He had enlisted in the
army with no misunderstanding as to
what a private's uniform meant. He
had never heretofore supposed he re-
GREETED any loss in this respect, his
nature apparently satisfied with the
excitement of active frontier service,
yet he vaguely knew there had been
times when he longed for companion
ship with women of the class to
which he had once belonged. For
'tunately his border stations offered
little temptation in this respect, and
he had grown to believe that he had
actually forgotten That afternoon
even-sweetly fair as Miss Mcdonald
undoubtedly appeared-he had looked
upon her without the throb of a pulse,
as he might upon picture. She was
not for him even to admire-she was

had been sent to guard That was all

Yet he knew that somehow it was
different now-the personal element

equation. Sitting there in the dark,
Gonzales body crumpled on the floor
at his feet, and Moylan lying stiff and
cold along the back seat, with this
girl grasping his sleeve in trust, she
remained no longer merely the Ma
jor's daughter-she had become her
self. And she did not seem to care
and did not seem to realize that there
were barriers of rank, which under
other circumstances must so utterly
separate them. She liked him, and
frankly told him so not as she would
dismiss an inferior with kindness,
but as though he was an equal, as
though he was gentleman. Some
how the very tone of her voice, the
clinging touch of her hand, sent the
blood pumping through his veins.
Something besides duty inspired
him; he was no longer merely sol
der, but had suddenly become trans
formed into man. Years of repres-
sion, of iron discipline, were blotted
out, and he became even as his birth
rigI.. made him. Molly Mcdonald"

name unconsciously to himself. Then

When Grand Forks made a bid for

Of the fight and it was largely thru
his work that the city vas successful
in gaining the institution. ~ =
Mr.. Walsh was the founder of the

CROP OUTLOOK
Especial to the Tribune)

FARGO, n. D., April 4.-There is
one serious handicap to the other
wise satisfactory crop outlook in
North Dakota. The rainy weather Of
last fall delayed threshing to such
an extreme point that the usual
amount of fall blowing was not done.
In fact, pioneer farmers insist there
was a smaller percentage Of the
wheat land plowed last fall than for a
dozen years. i
Other conditions arc practically
ideal. The ground frozc up wet last
fall and there has been ample mois-
ture this spring to make ideal con
ditions for beginning farm work. Seed
ing is under way in a few sections of
the state, especially in those re-
gions where there is considerable
sand, but is by no means general.
Lack OF fall blowing will retard
seeding to a large degree and will al
SO result in many farmers using the
shiftless method Of .discing in their
grain on the stubble.' " D." |'''

PANORAMA MAN
Dug Up RECORDS

.Aneta Panorama: TO fully satisfy
ourselves in regard to the charges
preferred by Mr.. Case Of the Neville
Journal against Senator A. J. Gronna
we have obtained from Washington
records of the United States senate
that show the charges are absolute
ly true. The records show that the
Lakota party was first carried on tho
payroll Of the United States senate.
as a skilled laborer, from April 10,
1911. to Aug. II, 1911, at the rate OF
SIS per month, and from that time
until some time in December last. as
messenger, at the rate of 500 per
month; and it is a known fact TO cv-
cry citizen Of Nelson county that ho
was never in Washington nor did he
ever perform any services for the
government; still! he got nearly 81
600 from the public treasury. We al
so find that the two daughters of
Mr.. Gronna, Grace J. and Lillian NJ.
have both been OF the pay roll of the
United States senate, the salary of
each one having been at the rate Of
Sl440 a year.
After Mr.. Case exposed Senator
Gronna he tried to deceive the people
by saying that as soon as he found
the party could not come to Washing
ton, he had him taken off the pay
roll and also tried to cover the mat
ter up by quoting a letter from Mr..
Case, written him some four years
ago, asking him if he could assist
him in getting some appointment or
employment; but such explanations
do not go with the people nav days.
The influence of the Wilson admin
istration is expected to be opposed
to the regular democratic state or
ganization in the Maryland primary
campaign next fall, when two United
States senators are to be named.
Senator John Walter Smith is a can
didate for reelection and has the
support of the organization. His op-
ponent is William l.. Marbury, a Bal
timore lawyer, who is said to be Pres
ident Wilson's choice for the senator
ship. The same alignment has been
formed with regard to the short-term
senatorship, to fill the vacancy caus-
ed by the death of Senator Rayner.

said to be the Wilson choice for the
short term, while Mayor Preston Of
