alton. pa
The Blues and the Grays are run.
ming about neck and neck this week,
The Barkies claim that the Goinses
will have to keep moving if they want
to win this race. The Blues turned in
IA more new members this week,
while the Grays turned in 8. The first
official report of each team will be
published next Saturday. The team
having the largest number of members
by that time will be represented at
the Boosters benefit entertainment, by
very one present wearing its color on
that night.
AS all the money that is taken in
now for membership is placed in the
bank until the Association building is
open, it becomes necessary for the
Athletic Association to raise a fund
for promotion purposes. A number of
the wives and lady friends of the mem
bers of the Association have formed
a Boosters Club and are working with
the entertainment committee on q
benefit which is to be given on the
10Th of this month.
Never before has so much interest
been taken in movement among our
people as it is now in the Athletic AS,
ISOLATION. No doubt we have begun
to realize what our duties are to our
selves and fellowmen. May this spirit
of friendliness continue and may we
all cooperate with each other in try
ing to uplift the race. WHERE
THERE is UNION THERE is
STRENGTH.

he finally said, because I didn't hardly

If we've done persuaded Brother Anse
that you're doin' good, l didn't want
him to hear me belittle ye."
Anse Havey went to the window,
where he drank deeply of the spiced
air. Then he began to speak again,
and this time it was in a voice the girl
had never'heard-a voice that held the
fire of the natural orator and that was
colorful with emotion.
"The first time We saw me We made
up your mind what character Of man l
was. Ye made it up from hearsay evi-
dence, and We amt never give me a
chance to show ye whether We was
right or wrong. Ye say I've never

He stepped over to the table and,
with a swift and passionate gesture,
caught up two books.

and she read on the covers, "Plu-
tarch's Lives" and Tragedies Of VIII
liam Shakespeare"
The girl looked up in amazement,
and she met in his gaze a fire and ca
gerness which silenced her.
She felt a wild thrill of admiration,
not such as any other man had ever
caused, but such as she had felt when
she watched the elemental play of
lightning and thunder and wind along
the mountain tops.

Havey went on, that knows how to

But" she family expostulated, "you

you oppose schools"

continued:

u stalked away, even before the com.
ing of the note she knew what would
happen, and what would happen not
only in this instance, but in others
like 1t. This would not be just losing
Dawn, bad as that was. 1t would be
paralysis and death to the school; II
would mean the leaving of every Ha.
vey boy and girl.
So she stood there, and afterward
said quietly: "Milt, l guess you'd bet.
ter go" and Milt had gone gravely and
unquestioningly, but with that in his
eye which did not argue brightly for
restoration of peace between his house
and that of his enemy.
When the two girls had gone to-
gether into the cabin Dawn stood with
a face that blanched as she began to
realize what it all meant, then slowly
she stiffened and her hands, too,
clenched and her eyes kindled.
She came across to the chair into
which the older girl had dropped list
lessly and, falling to her knees, seized
both Juanita's hands. She seized them
tightly and flercely, and her eyes were
blazing and her voice broke from her
lips in turgid vehemence.
81 hain't a-goin' ter leave vel" cried
Dawn. Il hain't a-goin' ter do it."
No word had been spoken of her
leaving, but in this life they both knew
that certain things bring certain re-
suits, and they were expecting a note
from Bad Anse.
Il hope not, DEAR" said Juanita, but
without conviction.
Then the mountain girl sprang up
and became transformed. With her
rigid figure and blazing eyes she
seemed a torch burning with all the
pent-up heritage of her past.
Il tells ye | amt a-goin' ter leave
vel" she protested, and her u~tterance
swelled to fiery determination. "Es

paused a moment, then finished tu.
~multuously like all hell. l reckon
I'm es good a Havey as Jeb. l hain't

Again she paused, painting with pas
sionate rage, then swept on while Jua-
nita looked at her sudden metamor-
phosis into a fury and shuddered.

Juanita could think of only n step
to take, SO she sent Jerry Everson for
Brother Talbot, whom she had seen
riding toward the shack hamlet in the
valley.
Thar hain't but one thing tibet We

XIII.

In other years Bad Anse Havey re-
membered the days in that house when
the voices of women and children had
been raised in song and laughter. Then
the family had gathered in the long
winter evenings before the roaring
backlogs, and spinning wheel and quilt
ing frame had not yet gone to the cob
webs of the cockloft. But that was
long ago.
The quar~ter-century over which his
memory travelled had brought changes
even to the hills. The impalpable
ghost of decay moves slowly, with no
sound save the occasional click of a
sagging door here and the snap of a
cord there, but in twenty-five years it
moves-and an inbred generation
comes to impaired manhood. Since
Bad Anse himself had returned from
Frankfort his house had been tenanted
only by men, and an atmosphere Of
grimness hung in its shadows. A half
dozen unkempt and loutish kinsmen
dwelt there with him, tilling the ground
and ready to bear arms. More than
once they had been needed.
1t was to this place that Juanita Hol-
land and the preacher were making
their way on that October afternoon.
At the gate they encountered a soil
tary figure gazing stolidly out to the
front, and when their coming reused
it out of its gloomy reverie it turned
and presented the scowling face OF
Jeb McNash.
Where air they?" he demanded
wrathfully, wheeling upon the two ar
rivals, and then he repeated violently:
by heaven, where air they? Why
hain't We done fetched Dawn and
lesser"
"Jeb." said the missionary quietly,
I'VE done come over hyar fust ter hev
speech with Anse Havey. Whar's he
at?"
Il reckon he's in his house, but ye
hain't answered my question. I'm ther
one for We ter talk ter fust. Hits my
sister we've done been sufferin' ter
consort with murderers, an hits me
we've got ter reckon with"
Brother Talbot only nodded. "Son,"
he gently assured him, I'VE aims ter
talk with you, too, but ! reckon We
hain't got no call ter hinder us from
havin' speech with Anse first"
For a moment Jeb stood dubious,
then he ierked his head toward the
house.

and others grabbed him. Then, re-
proachfully:
'Bhe shot at me with one barrel and
IFS . mercy she didn't kill me. The
charge went through that window
right over my head. And l wasn't
dom anything only standing still like
she told me-"
Didn't Aim to Shoot Man.
Miss Nettie acknowledged the charge
She said she and her sisters had beer
aroused from sleep by the noise the
burglar made entering a window, and
she had rushed for q shotgun which
the sisters have always kept in the
house She was returning to hel
room with the weapon when she sur
prised the burglar In the hall, and or
dered him to throw up his hands. He
did 30 at once, and Miss Nettie KEPT
the gun pointed at him while she and
her siSters screamed for help. the
others too frightened to leave their
bedroom.
4 didn't aim to shoot the man." de-
ciared Miss Nettie. This pesky thing
just sort OF went OF by itself, and
anyway It didn't hurt him"
The burglar looked unbelieving
however, even when Constable Elmer
Ainesh led him of to Red Bank.
Later he was committed to the county
I'M In Freehold by Justice Edward
Wise to await the action Of the grand
jury. He said he was Clarence MeIiss,
twcntyfow, years old, and had no
home he seemed relieved to reach
tho jail safely.
