CHAPTER W.

Physical exhaustion will finally tell. even over such handicaps as noun tain feather bed and the fumes of backwoods cabin.
 If Juanita Holland did not at last actually fall asleep, she drifted into a sort of nightmare coma from which she awoke with start
 Finally she fell again into that half sleep which dreams of wakefulness It may have lasted minutes or hours. but suddenly she reused again with a start from a new nightmare and lay trembling under the oppression of a poignant foreboding What was it that she had subconsciously heard or imag- ined? She was painfully wide awake in the slumbering cabin. At last she was sure of sound, low but instinct with warning.
 Beardog was growing just outside the door
 Then, violently and without the pref. ace of gradual approach-precisely as though horsemen had sprung from the earth-there clattered and beat past the front of the cabin a staccato thun- der of wildly galloping hoofs and a rattle of scattered rocks. She felt an uneanny freezing of her marrow Horses travel perilous and broken roads in that fashion only when their riders are in wild haste.
 AS abruptly as the drumbeat had come 1t died again into silence. and there was no diminuendo of hoofbeats receding into distance. The thing was weird and ghostly She had not no ticed in the weariness of her arrival at sand to the corner of the fence and that after fifty yards of rough and broken rock it fell away again into an other sound mutiling stretch. She knew only that she was thoroughly frightened, and that whatever the perate haste.
 Yet even in her terror she had moved only to turn her head and had opened her eyes cautiously and mar rowly
 There was no sound in the cabin now: not even the stertorous breath of a snore. The fire fiickered faintly and occasionally sent up from its white bed of ashes a dying spurt. before which the darkness fell back a little for the moment.
 She could see that Fletch McNash had half risen in his bed. His head was partly turned in an attitude of intent listening, and his pose was as rigid as that of bird-dog frozen on point It had all been momentary, and as Juanita gazed she saw other fig ures stir uneasily, though no one spoke The missionary lay still. but the woman's figure moved restlessly beneath the heaped-up comforter.
 So. for few moments the strange and tense tableau held. and the girl, watching the householder's alert yet motionless pose, remembered him as he had hunched drunkenly over his plate few hours ago. The two pic lures were hard to reconcile.
 Then, at some warning which her less acute ears failed to register, she saw Fletch McNashs right hand sweep outward toward the wall and come up gripping the rifle.
 Still there was no word. but the cid. est boys head had risen from the pallet.
 Keyed now to concert pitch, the girl held her body rigid, and through half closed lids looked across the dim room. While she was so staring and pretending to sleep. there drifted from long way off an insistent animal. like yell with peculiar quaver in it's final note, She did not know that it was the famous McBriar rallying cry, and that trouble inevitably followed

among rich and poor alike, during the

dilly, now pays $3.50. The rem of
the United Service club, which until
1904 was $725, is now $19,15O; and

1.-THE LAST LAUGH"
An article under the above caption
has been going the rounds of the
press. It assails William Allen
Whites story. whats the Matter
With Kansas?" published some time
since in the Saturday Evening Post.
"Mr. White" it said, boosted about
the big crops of Kansas, the per cap.
ita wealth of Kansas, the number of
automobiles in Kansas, and almost
succeeded in making everyone believe
that Kansas was wholly rich as we'll
as richly holy. But he overdid it.
And his home town, Emporia, is the
goat. For years the College of EN-
poria has been largely supported by
means of donations from wealthy
Fasteners. who imagined they were
assisting a poor little college on the
wind-swept prairies.' When. these
rich patrons read Mr.. Whites clever
but misleading article they withdrew
their subscriptions. This year the
college must look to home for the an
nual donation Of $780, 600, which used
to come out of the East"
The National w. c. T. u. Bureau of
Publicity forwarded the article to Mr..
White and in reply he says:
II have received, / should say, q
dozen or fifteen clippings from all
over the United States exactly like
the n you sent. The clippings vas
sent out by the liquor interests
through the National Clipping bureau.
and there is no truth whatever in the
statement. 1t is pure fiction"
Mr.. White sends also the following
statement written for the public by
the president of the college:
ITO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:
II have learned that certain selfish
interests are circulating a story that
the College of Emporia has lost dona'
tons and subscriptions in the East.
due to an article in The Saturday
Evening Post on the prohibition situa'
ton in Kansas, written by William
Allen White. l wish to say there is
absolutely no foundation for this
story,

Mr.. Culbertson deals with the college
financial affairs in detail We quote:
"The article to which you call my
attention is utterly absurd. Neither
the College Of Emporia nor Washburn
college ever received an annual do.
nation of $200, 600 from the East. So
far as / al ascertain, during the en-.
tire thirty-two years existence of the
College of Emporia, this institution
has not received as much as 6 5000
In all, for all purposes, buildings, en-.
dowment and current expenses, from
persons living outside the state. This
is an average of about two thousand
dollars per year. Almost all of our
endowment, and the money to erect
our buildings, as we'll as the money
to meet our. current expense budget
of $4,000 per year, has come from
the gifts of the people in this pro,
hibition state of Kansas.
Even If it cost us 5000, 900 or any
other amount in possible gifts, our
faculty, officers and trustees would
still indorse most emphatically the
prohibition policy, which We believe
involves the moral and social wek
fare OF our state and nation"

newspaper humor is on the decline,
and will continue so until editors
quit smoking cigarettes. That S
an awful blow. But if Lucy would
enter the editorial rooms of the

observe how faithfully the news
writers are sucking their favorite

to revise her mildly slanderous
statement.
