THE PEACEFUL DWELLING PLACE

ON Monday, in honor Of Indepen-
dence day, the largest American flag
ever made was unfurled in New York.
The people of Americas greatest city
dubbed over with enthusiasm at this
outward expression of its patriotism.
From end TO end Of the metropolis
the frenzied cheers Of the multitude
rang out. echoing and re-echoing un-
til they swelled into a tremendous
chorus and mounted 10 the very skies

cheered. from the extremes of the
earth The parent countries of tens
of thousands of them are locked in
bitter combat, their brothers are be-
ing murdered, their sisters insulted. in
a war of blood and hate and lust.
over here in "the land Of the free
and the home Of the brave" they
dwell together in perfect peace. amity
and happiness. No wonder then that
each star evoked a cheer and each
stripe a benson.

\ WORD FOR WEST VIRGINIA.


pittsburgh POst)
A Clarksburg spokesman for West
Virginia, Willard +. Snider has writ
ten an interesting letter to the
World" in New York, questioning
its editorial, "A Receiver for a State"
rs unfair. Doubling the sincerity of
the New York assumption that our
sister commonwealth is bankrupt, Mr..
Snider submits statistical cOntraven-
state has property which valued at 20
per cent OF its actual worth, amounts
to more than $1,000, 100000, and that
she has no bonded debt. He sets this
up against the 6O,000,000 bonded
debt of New York state, whose 81 per
cent of actual value of property is
placed at $110. 100000.
As a further reminder the West
Virginian mentions his states unde-
veloped natural resources of untold
value in contrast with New York's
fully developed condition. He goes on
jOlting the Manhattan islander by
showing that the aggregated debts of
West Virginia including cities cOun-
ties and minor divisions total less
than $1,000, 100000; while New YOrks
Indebtedness exceeds $500, 900, 600; al
so that the per capita Indebtedness
of West Virginia is $4.7S against New
York's $685.; and furthermore, if
West Virginia is to pay the $4,000
600 decree against her, her total in
debtedness will be about SIS per cap
tia.
New York's debt makes a stagger-
ing exhibit alongside West Virginias
yet New York is not regarding her
self as bankrupt, and it comes with
mighty poor grace TO sneer anything
Of the sort about our mountain neigh
Dor. The West Virginia legislature at
it's regular session failed to levy suf-
fciently, anud because of a difference
of opinion among state officials as to
whether or not the money could be
borrowed to meet the deficit until
levied. there was refusal by the treas
urer to pay state vouchers.

CHAPTER XVIII.

The high pass and the ineurrectos
were behind them now and the rolling
plains OF Aqua Negra were at their
feet To the northeast the smoke ban
ners Of the Gadsden smelters lay like
ribbons across the sky. and the line
was not far away.
Yet. as they came down from the
mountains, Bud and Gracia fell silent
and slackened their slashing pace. The
time for parting was near, and part
ings are always sad.
But ten miles across the plain lay
Gadsden and Phil-Phil to whom Ora
cha was promised. There had been no
thoughts of him from the time they
sat together under the horse-blankets
waiting for the rain to pass until now
that the dangers were virtually over,
and but short time more would place
them beyond the reach Of either ru-
rales or rebels. Bud thought of the
duty he owed his pardner, even though
that pardner had played him false
Great as was his longing for Gracia,
he could not forget that duty. Their
companionship had been but a thing
to forget If he could, or at best he
could only remember the sweetness
of it, and must forget the dreams be
had dreamed as he watched beside
Gracfa in the hills. He was taking her
to Phil, and all else must be sacrificed
for duty.
Bud looked far out across the valley
to where a train pulled in from the
south, and the sight Of it made him un-
easy. He watched still as it lay at the
station and, after a prolonged stare in
the direction Of Aqua Negra, he refined
sharply to the north.
What is it," asked Gracia, coming
out Of her reverie.
"Oh. nothing" answered Bud. slump

at rock-slide and scrambled to the
bench above. The path was rocky
but they pressed forward at a gallon
until, as the sun came up, they behelG
the summit of the pass.
I'VE win." cried Bud. as he spurred
up the last incline.
AS he looked over the top he ex
| ploded IN an oath and jerked Copper
Bottom back on his launches. The
leader Of long line of horsemen was
just coming up the other side-there
was no escape-and then back at the
frightened girl.
Keep behind me-" he commanded
and don't shoot. I'm going to hold
'em up"
He Jumped his horse out to one side
and landed sQuarely on the rim of the
ridge. Gracia drew her horse In be-
hind him and reached for the pistol in
her holster; then both together they
drew their guns and Bud threw down
on the first man.
Go on" he ordered. motioning him
forward with his head; ''pr-r-ronto!
He jerked out his rife with his left
hand and laid it across his lap.
Hurry up now" he ragged, as the
startled Mexican halted. Go on and
keep going. and the first man that
makes a break I'll shoot him full of
holes."
He sat like a statue on his shining
horse. his six-shooter balanced to shoot,
and something in his very presence
the bulk Of his body, the forward
thrust OF his head, and the burning
hate of his eyes-quelled the spirits
OF the rebels. They were a rag-tag
army, mounted on horses and donkeys
and mules and with arms of every
known make.
1t was just such an army as was
overrunning all northern Mexico, such
an army as had been levying tribute
on the land for century. They spread
terror throughout all that great coun-
try south Of the American border.
The fiery chances of the American
made them cringe as they had always
cringed before their masters, and his
curses turned their blood to water. He
lowered above them like giant. pour
ing forth a torrent of oaths and beck

his breast he struck spurs to his fright.
ened mule and went dashing over the
ridge.
The others followed by twos and
threes, some shrinking. some protest
Ing, some gazing forth villainously
from beneath their broad hats. AS they
looked back he whirled upon them and
swore he would kill the first man that
dared to turn his head.
After ALL they were generation Of
slaves. those low-browed. unthinking
poems, and war had not made them
brave. They passed on, the whole
line Of bewildered soldiery, looking in
vain for the men that were behind the
American, staring blankly at the beau
tiful woman who sat 80 courageously
by his side.
When the last had gone by Bud
picked up his rife and watched him
around the point. Then he smiled
grimly at Gracia, whose eyes were still
round with wonder. and led the way
down the trail.
