Patrick Harrigan had never had the
advantage of education, but like most
men in similar circumstances, he was
determined that his children should &C.
quire the learning and grace which had
been denied him. In due time his
daughter Molly, entered college. One
day shortly afterward he asked: "An
phwat are We learnin' now, Molly?"

There was a low murmur OF anger,

Whoever said thet's liarl" shout

side, felt that the situation was more
than parlous. But, before the storm
could break, some one rushed in, and
whispered to VILE McCager message

above his head, and thunder for at

Samson's anger had died. He turned,

But no one knew that. A man sup
posedly close to the Hollmans, but in
reality an informer for the Souths, had
seen him led into the jailyard by a
posse of a half-dozen men, and had
seen the iron-barred doors close on
him. That was all, except that the
Holman forces were gathering in
Hixon, and, if the Souths went there
en- masse, pitched battle must be the
inevitable result. The first step was
to gain accurate information and an
answer to one vital question. Was
Tamarack held as feud victim, or
was his arrest legitimate? How to
learn that was the problem. To send
a body of men was to invite bloodshed.
To send a single inquirer was to de-
liver him over to the enemy.
Air you men willin' ter take my
word about Tamarack?' inquired Sam
son. There was clamorous assent,
and the boy turned to Lescott.

~ portant government suit under the
Clayton antitrust act was begun here
today by Attorney General Gregory
against the United Shoe Machinery
company The petition filed in the
federal district court charges the shoe
company with unlawful practices that
substantially lessen competition and
tend to monopOlize.
The suit is distinct from that
against the same concern under the
Sherman antitrust act, begun several
years ago, I'm which its dissolution as
an unlawful combination and monop-
oily in restraint of trade was sought
and which now Is before the United
states supreme court The present
action does not seek dissolution but
asks the court to enjoln the company
perpetually from further engaging in
alleged unlawful practices. There
