where he chose in a fashion befitting a South.
 November came in bleakly, with a raw and devastating breath of fatality The smile died from horizon to hori- zon, and for days cold rains beat and lashed the forests. And, toward the end of the month, came the day which Samson had set for his departure.
 At the threshold, with the saddle bags over his left forearm and the rife in his hand, he paused. His uncle stood at his elbow and the boy put out his hand
 "Good-by, Unc' Spicer," was all he said. The old man, who had been his second father, shook hands. His face, too, was expressionless, but he felt that he was saying farewell to a sol dier of genius who was abandoning the field. And he loved the boy with all the centered power of an isolated heart.
 half-mile aloEg the road, Samson halted and dismounted There, in a small cove, surrounded by tangle of briers and blackberry bushes, stood a small and dilapidated meeting house" and churchyard, which he must visit ite made his way through the rougn undergrowth to the unkempt half-acre and halted before the leaning head stones which marked two graves. With sudden emotion. he swept the back of his hand across his eyes. He did not remove his hat, but he stood in the dri22le of cold rain for a moment of silence, and then he said:
 Pap, 1 haint fergot. I don't want ye ter think thet I've fergot''
 Before he arrived at the Widow Mil ler's, the rain had stopped and the clouds had broken.
 Sally opened the door, and smiled She had spent the day nerying herself for this farewell, and at least until the moment of leavetaking she would be safe from tears. The Widow Mil Ter and her son soon left them alone and the boy and girl sat before the blazing logs.
 For time, an awkward silence fel, between them. At last. the boy rose and went over to the corner where hs

 Vile McCager promptly gave the as. surance.
 ''I gives ye my hand on hit.'
 q seed Jim Asberry loafn' round jest beyond ther ridge. as I rid over hyar," volunteered the man who had brought the message.
 ''Go slow now, Samson. Don't be no blame fool," dissuaded Vile McCager "Hixon's plumb full of them Hollmans, an they're likely ter be full of licker- hits Saturday. Hits apt ter be shore death fer ye ter try ter ride through Main street-ef ye gifts thet far. Ye dassent do hit"
 q dast do anythins!" asserted the boy, with a fash of sudden anger. Some liar lowed awhile ago thet l was a coward. All right, mebby l be. Unc' Vile, keep the boys hyar tell ye hears from mean keep 'em sober" He turned and made his way to the fence where his mule stood hitched.
 When Samson crossed the ridge and entered the Holman country, Jim As berry, watching from a hilltop point of vantage, rose and mounted the horse that stood hitched behind a nearby screen of rhododendron bushes and young cedars. Sometimes, he rode just one bend of the road in Samson's rear. Sometimes, he took short cuts, and watched his enemy pass. But always he held him under vigilant eye. Finally, he reached wayside store where local telephene gave communi- cation with Hollman's Mammoth De- partment store.
 "Jedge," he informed, Samson sSouths done left ths party ct ther mill, an he's a-ridin' towards town. Shall I git him?"
 "Is he comin' by hisself?' inquired the storekeeper.
 Yes"
 Well. jest let him come on. We can tend ter him hyar, of necessary" So Jim withheld his hand, and merely shadowed, sending bulletins, from time

 Again, she nodded in silent assent, and the boy began speaking in slow. careful voice, which gradually mount ed into tence emotion.

CHAPTER VIII.

The boy from Misery rode slowly to- gled out and made the shadows black along the way. At other times it was like riding in huge caldron of pitch. When he passed into that stretch of country at whose heart Jesse Purvy dwelt he raised his voice in song His singing was very bad. and the ballad lacked tune. but 1t served it's purpose. of saving him from the suspicion of fnrtiveness. Though the front of the house was black, behind its heavy shut ters he knew that his coming might be noted, and night-riding at this par ticular spot might be misconstrued in the absence of frank warning.
 The correctness of his inference brought brief smile to his lips when he crossed the creek that skirted the orchard and heard stable door creak softly behind him. He was to be fol- lowed again-and watched, but he did not look back or pause to listen for the hoofbeats of his unsolicited escort On the soft mud of the road he would hardly have heard them had he bent his ear and drawn rein. He rode at walk, for his train would not leave un- til five o'clock in the morning There was time in plenty.
 It was cold and depressing as he trudged the empty streets from the livery stable to the railroad station. carrying his saddlebags over his arni- At last he heard the whistle and saw the blazing headlight. and minute later he had pushed his way into the smok- ing car and dropped his saddlebags on the seat beside him. Then. for the first time, he saw and recognized his watchers. Purvy meant to have Sam son shadowed as far as Lexington. and his movements from that point def- nitely reported. Jim Asberry and Aaron Hollis were the chosen spies He did not speak to the two enemies who took seats across the car, but his face hardened. and his brows came together in black scowl

Maybe, l won't want nobody ter know. But, whea l whistles out thar like whippoorwill.. l wants ye ter slip out-an' fotch me thet gun!"
 He stopped, and bent forward His face was tense, and his eyes were glint- ing with purpose. His lips were tight set and fanatical
 Samson" said the girl, reaching out and taking the weapon from his hands. ''ef I'm alive when ye comes, I'll do hit. l promise ye. An" she added, "ef I hain't alive. hitll be standin' thar in thet corner. I'll grease hit, an keep hit loaded an when ye calls, I'll foteh hit out thar to ye."
 The youth nodded T mout come any time, but likely as not I'll hev ter come a-fghtin' when I comes.''
 Next, he produced an envelope
 This here is letter I've done writ ter myself" he explained. He drew out the sheet, and read:
 Samson, come back" Then he handed the missive to the girl. "Thet there is addressed ter me, in care of MT. Lescott. Elf anything hap pens-ef Unc' Spicer needs mel wants yer ter mail thet ter me quick, He, says as how he won't never call me back, but, Sally, wants thet you shall send fer me, ef they needs me-. hain't a-goin' ter write no letters home. Unc' Spicer can't read, an you can't read much either But I'll plumb shore be thinkin' about ye day an night"
 She gulped and nodded.
 Yes, Samson" was all she said.
 The boy rose
 q reckon I'd better be gettin along" he announced
 The girl suddenly reached out both hands, and seized his coat. She held him tight, and rose, facing him. Her upturned face grew very pallid, and her eyes widened. They were dry, and her lips were tightly closed. bet, through the fearless pupils, in the ire light, the boy could read her soul, and her soul was sobbing
 He drew her toward him, and held her very tight.
 Sally" he said, in a voice which take keer of yeself Ye haint like these other gals round here. Ye hain't got big hands an feet Ye kain't stand es much es they kin. Don't stay out in the night air too much-an', Sally fer Gods sake take keer of yeself." He broke off. and picked un his hat.
 An that gun, Sally he repeated at the door. that there's the most pre- eious thing I've got loves hit better then anything-take keer of hit"
 Again, she caught at his shoulders.
 Does ye love hit bettern ye do me. Samson?" she demanded.
 He hesitated
 'I reckon ye knows how much I loves ye.. Sally, he said, slowly, but }sIva<dnnas padN< a. -.n nrosssl an,-thot guns a-goin ter keep hit fer me-" They went together out to the stile. he still carrying his rife, as though loath to let it go. and she crossed with him to the road.
 AS he united his reins, she threw her arms about his neck, and for a long while they stood there under the clouds and stars, as he held her close. There was no eloquence of leave-tak- ing, no professions of undying love, for these two hearts were inarticulate and dizzy clinging to wilderness code of self-repression-and they had reached point where speech would have swept them both away to break down.

will be succeeded at the college by
Roy Phillips, recent graduate from
Kansas Agricultural College, who
comes highly recon mended. To a
representative of a Spokane daily
paper, while stopping in that city,
Mr.. Hundertmark said;
During my stay at Pullman we
have developed the champion Hol-
stein COW of the Palouse region. Her
record is S07 pounds of butter in
one year at feed cost OF 1896, or a
cost per pound of butter of II cents.
Her yield of milk during the same
period was 22,450 pounds. We have
also demonstrated that the small
COW does not belong on the Wash
ington dairy farm, but that the large
COW, irrespective of breed, Is the best
money-maker. Figures to prove this
will be shown at the Interstate Fair.
Our samples of cream and milk
at the San Francisco exposition won
second and fourth prizes against
$500 entries. This Is the best show
ing the college has ever made along
this line.
