ing fog wraiths, and her father came
over to her side. Then the baby cried
and she stepped back. Purvy himself
remained at the window. 1t was a
thing he did not often do. 1t left him
exposed, but the most cautiously
guarded life has its moments of re-
Taxed vigilance. He stood there pos
sibly thirty seconds, then sharp fu-
sillade of clear reports barked out and
was shattered by the hills into long
reverberation. With hand clasped
to his chest, Purvy turned, walked to
the middle Of the floor, and fell.
The henchmen rushed to the open
sash. They leaped out and plunged
up the mountain, tempting the assas-
sins fire, but the assassin was salts
fed. The mountain was again as
quiet as it had been at dawn Inside,
at the middle of the store. Jesse Purvy
shifted his head against his daugh-'
ter's knee and said, as one stating an
expected event:
well, they've got me-"
An ordinary mountaineer would
have been carried home to die in the
darkness of a dirty and windowless
shack. The long-suffering star Of Jesse
Purvy ordained otherwise. He might
go under or he might once more beat
his way back and out of the quick
sands of death. At all events, he would
fight for life to the last gasp.
Twenty miles away in the core of
the wilderness, removed from a rail-
road by a score of semi-perpendicular
miles, fanatic had once decided to
found a school.
Now a faculty Of ten men taught
such as cared to come such things as
they cared to learn. Higher up the
hillside stood small, but model hos
pital, with a modern operating table
and a case of surgical instruments,
which, It was said, the state could not
surpass.
To this haven Jesse Purvy, the MUIR
der lord, was borne in litter carried
on the shoulders of his dependents.
Here, as his steadfast guardian star
decreed, he found two prominent med
ical visitors, who hurried him to the
operating table. Later he was re-
moved to a white bed, with the June
sparkle in his eyes, pleasantly modu-

Jesse Purvy had built his store at 9
crossroads rs miles from the rail
road. Like Holman, he had won q
reputation for open-handed charity,
was liked-and hated. His friends
were legion. His enemies were so nu-
merous that he apprehended violence
not only from the Souths but also
from others who nursed grudges in
10 way related to the line of feud
cleavage. The Hollman-Purvy combi-
nation had retained enough of its old
power to escape the laws retribution
and to hold its Dictatorship but the
efforts Of John South had not been
altogether bootless. He had ripped
away two masks, and their efstwhtle
wearers could no longer hold their old
semblance OF law-abiding philanthro-
pists. Jesse Purvy's home was the
show place of the countryside. Com
modious verandas looked out over
pleasant orchards, and In the Same
Enclosure stood the two frame build
ings Of his store-for he, too, COM
bined merchandise with baronial
powers. But back OF the place rose
the mountain side, on which Purvy
never looked without dread. Twice
its impenetrable thickets had spat at
him. Twice he had recovered from
wounds that would have taken q less
charmed life. And in grisly reminder
~ he foh oil he
of his days stood the eight-foot log
stockade at the rear of the place,
which the proprietor had built to
shield his daily journeys between
house and store. But Jesse Purvy was
not deluded by his escapes He knew
that he was marked down"
The years of strain were telling on
him. The robust, full-blooded face
was showing deep lines; his flesh was
growing faccid; his glance tinged
with quick apprehension. He told his
intimates that he realized they'd get

term Of escape.

ridden mules, several men, followed
by two tawny hounds whose long ears
tapped over their lean jaws, and
whose eyes were listless and tired, but
whose black muzzles wrinkled and
shifted with that sensitive instinct
which follows the man scent. The ex-
sheriff's family were instituting pro-
ceedings independent of the chiefs or
ders. The next morning this party
plunged into the mountain tangle and
beat the cover with the bloodhounds
in leash.
The two gentle-faced dogs picked
their way between the Towering rho
dodendrons, the glistening laurels, the
feathery pine sprouts and the moss
covered rocks. They went gingerly
and alertly on ungainly, cushioned
feet. Just as their masters were de-
spairing they came to a place directly
over the store, where branch had
been bent back and hitched to clear
the outlook and where boot heel |
had crushed the moss. There one of |
them raised his nose high into the
air, opened his mouth, and let out q
long, deep-chested bay Of discovery.

PLAY QUEER ROLES
Church SteepIes and Their Part in
the War.
Used for Services Of Thanks for the
Escape Of Antwerp and for tho
Capture Of Belgian
City.
BY WILLIAM @. SHEPHERD.

correspondent united frebB.J
Munich.-Church steeples play queer
parts In war. In Antwerp I saw q
man climb almost TO the peak of the
ancient cathedral there and fasten a
Belgian nag to stone gargoyle. In
the evening, at sunset, saw Belgian
choir boys standing in their white sur
plices among the bells, and heard their
song Of praise that noated over the
old town like q observation-disclosures
Antwerp had been saved from q Yep
pelin.
In Munich l saw another church
steeple playing It's role in war. It
was raining. and the peak Of the ca
thedral spire doomed dimly above the
lights OF the city hall square. But
the tiny lights OF candles carried by
German choir boys nuttered in the
belfry, and, led by an orchestra, the
boys sang a song Of praise-because
Antwerp had fallen.
Russian Trick . Boomerang.
The newspapers tell Of trick which
q German general played on the Rus
SLAMS. In retreating from town in
eastern Prussia the Russians were
forced to leave behind large guam
tity of bread They poured gasoline
on the bread, and when the Germans
entered the town they found the
smelly mixture surmounted by sign
which read:
I'VE hear that you need both bread
and gasoline. Here they are"
About the same time the Germans
captured a number of Russians. The
German general ordered that the
bread be given the prisoners, and not
Russian touched his prison fare that
night.
Sidewalk strateglsts" Busy.
There are Sidewalk strategists"
here. too.
Wen 90 to London when the prop
er time comes" says my waiter. you
know how Germany fooled the world
with her 15-inch guns and her new
submarines. Nobody knew she had
such things. Well we've got another
trick up our sleeves. We've got guns
that will shoot 2S miles, and that's
TWO miles more tnan the width OF the
English channel between Calais and
Dover.
"As soon as we take Calais, we will
mount these big guns on granite
foundations, shoot across the channel,
and demolish the forts at Dover. Then
we win sink ali the English ships
within range Of these guns, and we
will keep pathway clear across the
channel of Dover. That way we can
land all the German troops we need
on English soil At the same time
I'VE VIII take Ostend and from there
we will send Zeppelins clear to London
to terrify the king"
Time alone will tell how closely
tho kaiser's strategists will follow my

Paris.-The Countess de Chambrun,
formerly Miss Clara Longworth of Gin
cinnati, sister of ex-Congressman
Nicholas Longworth, has received a
letter from her husband, who was at
one time a French military attache
at Washington, and is now an officer
of an artillery company at the front.
In his letter Count de Chambrun
says:
II am now having the great pleas
ure of directing the artillery fire

The De Chambrun chateau is near
st. Mihiel, where stubborn struggle
has been going on for six weeks, since

Water skates.

I Berlin.-The German military au-
thorities have tried out successfully
cigar-shaped rubber skates, by which
IA soldier is equipped to literally walk
over rivers, carrying heavy loads mean
while and firing his rife with all the
Bteadiness he commands on land. Each
skate or pontoon is about six feet long
fand fastened on the foot In the same
way as skis or snowshoes.
The motion of the soldiers use to
propel themselves over the water very
much resembles skating, and because
OF this, the name Of water skates has
been given the invention.
They have more than one use; a
number fastened together make reli-
able RATS, and they may also be used
as base for bridge.

SATSUMA ORANGE BEING
DEVELOPED IN BALDWIN

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Having recently made trip
through Baldwin county, l have
thought that readers of The Journal
would be interested in what l saw
there. My objective point was Sill
verhill, the Swedish settlement
where formerly lived, and where /
know every foot of the ground for
miles around. / was particularly in
terested in the present development
of the Satsuma orange tree. DIR. O.
F. E. Winberg, at Silverhill, is the
orange and pecan expert. His ability
has been recognized by other orange
growers, by his being elected presi-
dent of the Gulf Coast Citrus Asso-
citation.
In the immediate neighborhood
around SilverhiII there are now over
300 acres Of Satsuma oranges plant
ed, most of them being now in bear
ing. Therefore, | had an opportunity
Of seeing nearly one million orange
trees in bearing, as they set out
about Ito trees to an acre. 1t was
the most charming sight / have seen
in many years. At the coming good
roads meeting at Mobile the party
will go through Silverhill, but will
have no time on the trip going over.
But on returning it will be easy to
stop off at Silverhill and be person
ally conducted through the orange
yroves by my genial friend, DIR. Win
berg. / shall write him at once that
he may expect us from Pensacola to
visit the groves. IF any wish to stay
overnight at Silverhill they can be ac-
commodated at Hotel Norden.
| In the neighborhood of Robertsdale
are other orange groves and fig or
chards that are interesting. Those OF
the party who wish to return through
Robertsdale, Summerville, Foley, Ell
berta, and come home via the Lillian
ferry can also stop off at Silverhill
as they have to come through there
anyway.
At Silverhill there has been anothe.
development that should interest Pen

They started fifteen years ago to gel
