HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Armory Ball.

The game last Tuesday afternoon
between Senior and Freshmen was
one of intense excitement, and can be
classed the best game of the season.
By the. ninth inning the score was a
tie, 1910. The eleventh inning was
played but still the score was a tie,
I'LL. However, the twelfth inning
told the tale and a severe calamity
befell the Freshmen. The Seniors
made three more points while the
infants" scored but one: final result
1914.
Wednesday evening the Sophomor-
es and Juniors were to have contest
ed for honors. but the Juniors forfeit
ed the game to the Sophomores be-
cause of their non-appearance. The
Junior class is well represented with
qualified players, but work after
school hours demands their atten-
tion
To keep the water boiling Sopho-
mores played a select team, known
as the "Toughs.' The game created
a great interest and was well played
to the end. Score $40, in favor of
the Sophomores.
Friday evening the game scheduled
between the Freshmen and Juniors
was forfeited by the latter team.
A game was played. however. be-
tween the Rough Necks" and the
Freshmen. Score-15 to 5 in favor
of the Rough Necks."

High School at the banquet and Bible
class rally at the Y. NJ. C. A. The
purpose Of the meeting was to arouse
enthusiasm in the classes and make
the people OF the community under
stand the purpose and plans for the
work this year. Besides a number
of important addresses. the students
of C. C. H. s., rehearsed a goodly
number of their yells and songs. Much
enthusiasm and spirit was prevalent
during the evening. There is every
indication for a successful year in
the work of the Bible class this year.
Chapel Periods
Beginning Monday, Oct. 1s. the four
classes of the high school will have
charge Of one or more chapel periods
during the semester. The Senior
class will have charge of the first
period. 1t is understood that very
efficient talent has been selected from
the class to entertain the high school
This idea proved a great success last
year, and It is evident that the same
will be true this year.

CHAPTER vi.

When, just before sunset yesterday
afternoon, a verdict of acquittal for
Cal Douglas had come from the jury
room, the town Of Peril had once more
held its breath and doors had closed
and the streets had cleared of such as
wished to remain nOncombatants. But
with no comment or criticism MiIt
McBriar mounted his horse and rode
out Of town, shaping his course over
the hills toward his own house. Fol-
lowing his example with equal quiet,
his kinsmen mounted, too, and disap-
peared
AS for Cal Douglas, he reserved any
enthusiasm his vindication may have
brought to his heart until he was back
again in the depths of the hills. He
and his kinsmen turned their horses
by shorter and sleeper trail to the
house where the dance was going for
ward with shutting and fiddling and
passing of the jug.
When Milt McBriar and his fellows
started home an informer OF two from
the Havey ranks kept them in view,
themselves unseen, until they passed
through the gap and started down the
other side Of the ridge into their own
domain
That they were being so watched
was either known to the .McBriars or
assumed by them. But picked squad
on fresh mounts was waiting over
there in a place where the road ran
deep through the forest and laurel,
and this squad was equipped with re-
peating rifles. Milt McBriar himself
did not go with them. He had made
all his arrangements in advance, and
1t was not seemly that the chief
should take a personal part in an exc
cutiOn which he had decreed
Let me hear the news, boys" Old
Milt had said with a wave of his
hand, and then he had ridden on stoI-
idly toward his own domain

two hills.

Again the dark giant paused; then
he came to his point. His voice was
regretful, almost sad, but tinged with
resignation.
$50 Little Nash is a-layin' dead down
thar, an no McBriar durstn't venture
down ter fotch his body home"
He waved a hand toward the west,
and the faces of his escort lowered.
They seemed the faces Of men who
"durst' go anywhere, but their chief

The missionary nodded, and though
he was travel-stained and very tired,
he said: I'll start right now"
Then Milt McBriar continued: AN

On either side Of the little porch
stood a group Of solemn men. mostly
bearded. mostly coatless. and all IN
armed. In front OF those, at the right
stood Anse Havey, his eyes still the
dominant feature OF the picture
Over across from him was the taller
and older chieftain Of the other clan
They stood there gravely, with a
courtesy that cloaked their hatred
Out in the road was the '.jolt-wagon,
and in its deep bed the girl could see
the canvas that covered its burden
As Bad Anse took his place at the
front of his escort his gaze met that
Of Juanita- He did not speak. but for
an instant she saw his face harden,
his eyes narrow, and his lips set
themselves. It was the glance of one
who has been dashed across the face
and who cannot strike back, but who
will not soon forget.
This time the girls eyes did not
drop, and certainly they held no hint
OF reIenting or plea for forgiveness
But at that moment the head Of the
| Haveys turned from her and began
speaking.
I got your message. Milt." he said
casually. AN I reckon you got my
| answer. I've brought back Little
| Nash
I'm obleeged ter ye." The McBriar
paused, then volunteered: EFF ther
| boy had took counsel of me, this thing
wouldn't never hev happened"
Bad Anse Havey stood looking at
the other, then he nodded
/ EATi1f - he anpnnn1od a

/ his eyes, though it left his lips grave,
| I've got several bosses an mules
down thar in my barn that We found

Again he paused and studied the
faces of the McBriar men before he
| went on. "One Of EN- is your own
roam mare, Milt One of EN- b1ongs
ter Sam thar, and one is Bob's thar. "
He pointed out each man as he spoke.
''Ye can get 'em any time We send
down for EN-"
The girl caught her breath and, de-
spite her dislike, acknowledged the
cool insolence with which Anse had
answered Mills plea of innocence
AIilt replied only with scowl, so Anse
cOntemplauvely continued, as though
to himself:
Hits right smart pity for a Teller
to go out shootin' in the nighttime
an to take a kinsman's horse-with-
out takin' his counsel It might lead
to some misunderstanding
A baleful glare flashed deep in the
eyes OF the taller man. and from the
henchmen at his back came an uneasy
shuttle of brogans.
But the voice of Good Anse Talbot
relieved the tension
''Stiddy, thar. men, he quietly eau
toned I'VE didn't hardly meet tel
talk bout bosses. I'll lead them nags
back myself. Milt"'
Then Anse Havey stepped forward
and held out his hand.

other.

frustrated effort. They were bitterly
angry and proportionately desperate.
So, as they clattered along the empty
road, meeting no enemy whom they

with raising their war cry for the ben

A little distance beyond F1etch Nc
Nash's place lay a cross-trail by which
they might find a circuitous way back
over the ridge, but it was too steep
and broken to ride. They could make
better time on foot over the ''roughs,
so there they abandoned their mounts
and plunged into the timber. When
the pursuers came up with the dis
carded horses they realized that fur
Their effort in the nighttime would be
bootless. Yet, since the heaving
TANKS and painting nostrils Of the
horses testified that they had been
only a few minutes late, they took a
last chance and plunged into the
thicket.

from a long way up the hillside, was
their only challenge, and their voIley
Of reply, fired at the flash, was merely
retort of hatred But even in the isO-
lation of the hills certain news travels
on wings, and the morning would find
every cabin dweller wearing a face
of grim and sullen realization. The
phrase which F1etch McNash had whis-
pered to his boy would travel to the
headwaters Of every fork, and the
faces of the women would once more
wear the drawn misery of anxiety for
their men.

From the houses with their yellow
