CHAPTER VIII.
A Way to the River.

She waited in agony as he sighted
carefully, striving to gauge the dis
tance. 1t seemed an interminable
time before his finger pressed the
trigger. Then came the report, a flash
of fame, and the powder smoke blown
back in her face. Half-blinded by the
discharge, she yet saw that black
smudge leap upright; again the Henry
blazed, and the dim figure went down.
There was a cry-a mad yell of rage
in which scattered voices Joined;

the leather back of the coach with an
odd rip; another struck the casing of
the door, sending the wooden splin-
ters flying like arrows. Hawk-eyed,
Hamlin fired twice more, aiming at
the sparks, grimly certain that a re-
spending howl from the left evidenced
hit. Then, as quickly, all was still,
intensely black once more The Ser

There was no response, the stiffness
so profound he could hear the faint
ticking Of the girls watch. He
reached out, almost alarmed, and
touched her dress.
What Is the trouble?" he oues-
toned anxiously. Didn't you hear me
speak?"
He waited breathless, but there was
no movement, no sound, and his hand,
trembling, in spite of his iron nerve.

slant dread. His cheek stung where
flying splinters had struck him, but
that was nothing. She was warm, her
flesh was warm; then his searching
fingers felt the moist blood trickling
down from the edge of her hair. He
let out his breath slowly, the sudden
relief almost choking him. 1t was bad
enough surely, but not what he had
first feared, not death. She had been
struck hard-a flying splinter of wood,
perhaps, or DETECTED bullet-her
hair matted with blood, yet it was no
more than flesh wound, although
leaving her unconscious. II he hesi-

trust to that weapon entirely for de-

rife and the girl.
Moving slowly, cautiously, fearful
lest some creaking Of the old stage
might betray his motions to those
keen ears below, he backed through
the open door. Once feeling the
ground firm beneath his feet, and ma
king sure that both canteen and hav-
ersack were secure, he reached back
into the darkness, grasping the form

erect with her held securely in his
arms, strands of hair blowing against
his cheek, listening intently, striving
with keen eyes to penetrate the black
curtain. The wind was fortunate,

DIR DUTY TO THE SCHOOL.

The opening of the public SchooiS
next Monday affords this opportunity
for making some observations on the
value of school life and the obligations
we owe to the school.
We may say that among all the CIVIC
institutions we have none OF more
genuine worth to us than the School
when considered by us either as cltl'
zens or as parents. !
Our old conception of the educated
man was so widely different from the
modern conception OF the educated
man Education was once thought an
ACCOMPLISHMENT, a luxury to be OF
tanned orly by the rich and then only
for purposes of ease and comfort. our
old conception was that education only
lifted the individual far above his 1eIloW
and above the contact with common
humanity. He had nothing i'll common
with thn rest OF the world and 1elt
none of the burdens borne by the
common man and which HAD III deed 10
he carried. He was considered man
of luxury who lived in absolute ease
with nothing to do In fact we used 10
educate the man in order that he may
have an easy time in life. We say the
world has in time past had this concep'
ton of education.
Our ideas have changed. The edu.
Gated man is no longer aloof from the
world hut is in the world most OF all.
He is not lifted out of the human but
is more intensely human and is
shouldering more and more the
burdens of the common life. He is no
longer the man who has nothing to do
hut he is the man of abundant work
Now he comes into the world not to be
ministered unto but to minister.
The world, no longer has any room
Tor the man who has nothing to do
The demand is for men who can dc
things.
In the future if our children are Il

Gated. The school Their is no longer
matter of incidental consideration bu
is the one institution which should de
mand our r1ost serious and thoughtfu
consideration. The new conception 0
the really educated man has brough
the school life into closer vital touc
with us.
In order then that the school ma
realize its highest purpose it shoul
command our most earnest supper
and cooperation. Not so much b'
cause of cur admiration and reSpet
for the teachers. They of course al
