in an instant after it had been borne
along the wind she had seen a thing
happen which she would have disbe-

of a narrator.
She saw in one breathing space the
half-raised figure of Fletch McNash un-
der the quilts OF his bed, and that of
young Jeb under the covers OF his
pallet. She saw In the next breathing
space, with no realization of how it
had happened, both of them crouched
low at the center of the floor, the IA
theirs eyes glued to the front door,
the sons to the back The older man
bent low, like runner on his mark
awaiting the starting signal. His right
hand held the rife at his front, his
left lightly touched the floor with
fingers spread to brace his posture,
and his face was tensely upturned
So, while she counted ten, father
and son crouched in precisely similar
poses, one covering the barred door
at the front with repeating rifle, the
other seeming to stare through the
massive timbers of that at the back
with leveled pistol. No one spoke No
one moved, but the regular swelling
breath of sleep had died, for every
pair Of lips in the place was holding
it's breath, bated
Then came fresh pounding of hoofs
and scattering of gravel and chorus
Of angry, incoherent voices sounded
above the noise of Fighter was it

shouted out there in the night were
swallowed in the medley, except a
wake of oaths that seemed to float be-

quite distance beyond, there came

where 1t might mean a pitched battle.
So it had been awaited, too, up and
down the creeks and branches that
crept from the ragged hills, where men
were leading morbid lives of isolation
and nursing grudges
During the three days that the sus-
pense continued each recess of court
found the long-limbed frame of Milt
McBriar tilted back in a split-bottom
chair on the fiagstones at the front
of the hotel His dark face and pierc,
ing eyes gazed always thoughtfully
and very calmly off across the dusky
town to the reposeful languor of the
piled-up, purple skyline. Likewise,
each recess found seated at the other
end of the same house-front the short
er, heavier figure of fair-haired man
with rudy face and sandy mustache.
Never did he appear there without two
companions, who remained at his right
and left. Never did the dark giant
speak to the ford man, yet never did
either fail to keep a glance directed
toward the other.
The man of the sandy hair was Brock
Havey, next to Bad Anse the most
influential leader of the clan His in

Their spoke nor moved. But at last
as If by one impulse, they rose and
turned to face each other.
Then, and then only, was there ut
terance of any sort inside the house.
In voice so low that Juanita would
not have heard it save that every
sense was painfully alert, Fletch said
to his son: 81 reckon Their wars on
again
The boy nodded sullenly, and the
father commanded in an almost inau-
dible undertone:
Lay down"
The boy went back to his pallet and
the father to his bed. For long time
there was dead silence, and then one
by one they took up again their chorus
of shores. Tomorrow might bring chaos
but tonight offered sleep. Still the
girl lay gazing helplessly up at the
rafters and wondering what things
happened out there in the grim, I'M
communicative silence of the slopes.
A little while ago she had been
dreading what might come. Now, in
an access of terror, she thought of
what must come.
"Ther wars on" That was enough.
Evidently there had besn hell over
there at the dance. She had reached
the country just in time to see new
and sanguinary chapter open.
She would in all probability see
people she actually knew, with whom
she had spoken, and whose hands she
had taken, the victims of this brutal
blood-lust.
And in the face Of such things these
human beasts could sleep!
But one wss not sleeping, and after
a while among the snoring slumberers
Good Anse Talbot rose and knelt be-
fore the hearth. There were still a
few glowing embers there, and as he
bent and at last took the knotted
hands away from his scanned face they
cast a feeble light upon his features
and upon the bare feet that twisted
convulsively on the stone fireplace.
II was a tortured face, and as the
girl watched him she realized for the
first time the significance of the words

came to her that she had never before
seen a man really pray. For an hour

Big Crops Encourage Building


Orient Argus: John Costigan was
up from the farm Monday, attend
ing to a few business matters. He
says that while he has been a South
Dakota resident for many, many
years, the crops this year are SO far
ahead of anything he has heretofore
seen, that there is no comparison.
Of his own fields, he says, it will be
necessary to stack his grain as the
shocks are so thick he can't get into
them with a team and wagon. Mr.
Costigan will shortly begin the
erection of a new barn, made neces-
sary through his present buildings
being needed for the storage of
grain. He also expects to make ad-
dition to his residence.
