books, which the mountaineer eagerly
agreed to devour in the interval.
Lescott consented, however, to re-
main over Saturday, and go to the
dance, since he was curious to observe
what pressure was brought to bear on
the boy, and to have himself a final
word of argument after kinsmen had
spoken.
Saturday morning came after night
of torrential rain, which had left the
mountains steaming under a reek of
fog and pitching clouds.
But, as the morning wore on, the
sun fought it's way to view in a scrap
Of overhead blue. From log cabins
and plank houses up and down Misery
and its tributaries, men and women be-

had Sally on pillow at his back. They

From the interior of the house came
the sounds of fiddling, though these

though he could not say just what con-
crete thing told him, that under the
shallow note of merry-making brooded
the major theme of a troublesome
problem. The seriousness was below
the surface, but insistently depressing.
He saw, too, that he himself was mixed
up with it in a fashion, which might
become dangerous, when a few jugs
of white liquor had been emptied.

CHAPTER VII.

Several soberer men closed around
the boy, and after disarming him, led
him away grumbling and muttering,
while Vile McCager made apologies to
the guest.
"Jimmy's jest a peevish child" he
explained. "A drop or two of Ticker
makes him skittish. l hopes yen look
over hit"
Jimmys outbreak was interesting to
Lescott chiefly as an indication Of
what might follow. Unwilling to in
troduce discord by his presence, and
involve Samson in quarrels on his ac-
count, he suggested riding back to
Misery, but the boys face clouded at
the suggestion.
EFF they KANT be civil ter my
friends" he said, shortly, they've got
ter account ter me. You stay right
hyar. and I'll stay clost to you. done
come hyar today ter tell 'em that they
mustn't NEEDLE in my business"
A short while later, Vile McCager
invited Samson to come out to the
mill, and the boy nodded to Lescott
an invitation to accompany him.
The mill, dating back to pioneer
days, sat by its race with its shaft now
idle. II looked to Lescott, as he ap-
preached, like a scrap of landscape
torn from some medieval picture, and
the men about its door seemed medic

All of them who stood waiting were

Of cadet branches. Many of them, like
Vile McCager himself, did not bear
the name of South, and Samson was
the eldest son of the eldest son.

There was a moments silence, then
Vile McCager put another question:

why don't we git hit right hyar in these

Samson laughed derisively

Claim Is Made That British Consul At

Panama-Col. George w. Goethals,
governor Of the canal zone. was i'm
PEELED to suggest TO the government
at Washington that two swift Ameri-
can torpedo boat destroyers be sta
toned at the Panama canal. one at
each end, by the recent activity of
belligerent warships and GOLFERS in
the vicinity of that isthmian water
! way.
The action of the Australian collier
Mallina, which left Balboa without
clearance papers, and the fact that
this and other colliers have shown a
disposition to disregard the canal zone
shipping laws actuated Col. Goethals
to take a decisive measure to pre-
serve in every way the neutrality OF
the canal
Nearly all the Golfers which have
gathered in canal waters arrived
without health certificates and in sew
eral instances the ships sailed with
out clearance papers. 1t is presumed
that the steamers met and coaled the
Austrians and English fleet which con-
centrated recently in the vicinity of
the Pearl islands, which lie so miles
southeast of Panama city.
The United States torpedo boat de-
stroyers requested by the governor
are expected to do patrol duty and to
promptly overhaul any belligerent
craft attempting to disregard the ca
nal regulations.
Alleged violations of the canal ship
ping laws have, it is said, been the
subject of complaint 10 Sir Claude c..
Mallett, British minister to Panama,
and also have resulted in causing or
ders to be given the Notifications to
prevent unneutral golfers remaining
in ports on the canal zone in disregard
of the orders of the canal authori-
| ties.
In the case of the collier Nallina,
| it is stated she arrived without clear
ance papers or a health certificate
and with no coal or supplies. She
attempted to buy $4,000 worth of sup
plies, consisting largely of articles in
tended for a Christmas dinner for a
large force. She was refused the sup
plies and was ordered to depart be-
cause she refused to state her destina-
ton, as required by the canal zone
laws The collier Protesilaus is point
ed to as a similar case.
1t is stated there has been much
wireless interference in canal waters
on the part of eight GOLFERS, which
recently were in the vicinity of the
canal, and also by large warship ueets,
reported to be within rs miles of both
ends of the canal.
