she added:

not know that he had changed his
name Of speech.
For an instant Sally looked up into
his face, then with a sudden laugh,
she informed him:
II can say isn't instead of shain't,'
too. How did you like my writing?"
He held her off at arms length, and
looked at her pridefully, but under his
gaze her eyes fell and her face flushed
with a sudden difidence and a new
shyness of realization. She wore a
calico dress, but at her throat was
a soft little bow of ribbon. She was
no longer the totally unself-conscious
wood nymph, though as natural and in
stinctive as in other days. Suddenly
she drew away from him a little, and
her hands went slowly to her breast
and rested there. She was fronting
a great crisis, but, in the first flush of
Joy she had forgotten it. She had
spent lonely nights struggling for rudi-
ments; she had sought and fought to
refashion herself, sc that, if he came,
he need not be ashamed of her. And
now he had come and, with a terrible
clarity and ~distinctness, she realized
how pitifully little she had been able
to accomplish. Would she pass mus
ter? She stood there before him,
frightened, self-conscious and palpi-
tating, then her voice came in a whis-
per:
Samson, dear, I'm not holdin' you
to any promise. Those things we said
we're a long time back. Maybe we'd
better forget EN- now and begin all
over again"
But again he crushed her in his
arms and his voice rose triumphantly:
"Sally, l have no promises to take
back, and you have made none that
I'm aver going to let you take back
not while lie lastsi"
Her laugh was the delicious music
of happiness.
Il don't want to take them back"
she said. Then, suddenly, she added,
Importantly: 81 wear shoes and stock
ings now, and I've been to school a lit
tie. Pm awfully-awfully ignorant,
Samson, but I've started, and / reckon

His voice choked. Then, her hands
strayed up, and clasped themselves
about his head.
"Oh, Samson" she cried, as though
someone had struck her, you've cut

But he wished that he had not had to
make that excuse. Then, being hon.
est, he told her all about Adrienne Les.
cott-even about how, after he be-
lieved that he had been outcast by his
uncle and herself, he had had his mo
ments of doubt. Now that it was all so
clear, nov that there could never be
doubt, he wanted the woman who had
been so true a friend to know the girl
whom he loved. He loved them both,
but was in love with only one. He
wanted to present to Sally the friend
who had made him, and to the friend
who had made him the Sally Of whom
he was proud. He wanted to tell
Adrienne that now he could answer
her question-that each of them meant
to the other exactly the same thing;
they were friends of the rarer sort.

Then he added, with c%onciliating soft

Samson stood rigid. Here was the
confession of one murderer, with no
denial from the other. The truce was
OF. Why should he wait? C~ataracts
seemed to thunder in his brain, and
yet he stood there, his hand in his coat
pocket, clutching the grip of a maga-
zine pistol. Samson South the old, and
Samson South the new were writhing
In the life-and-death grapple of two
codes. Then, before decision came,
he heard a sharp report inside, and
the heavy fall of a body to the floor.
A wildly excited figure came plung-
ing through the door, and Samson's
left hand swept out and seized it's
shoulder in a sudden wise grip.
"Do you know me?" he inquired, as
the mountaineer pulled away and
crouched back with startled surprise
and vicious frenzy.

Aaron thrust his cooked rife close
against the strangers face. From
its muzzle came the acrid stencil Of
freshly burned powder. cit outen my

"My name is Samson South"
Before the astounded finger on the
trigger could be crooked, Samson's
pistol spoke from the pocket, and, as
though in echo, the rifle blazed, a little
too late and a shade too high, over his
head, as the dead mans arms went up.
Except for those two reports there
was no sound. Samson stood still, an
ticipating an uproar of alarm. Now
he should doubtless have to pay with
his life for both the deaths, which
would inevitably and logically be at
tributed to his agency. But, strangely
enough, no clamor arose. The shot in

HARD TO MAKE ENDS MEET"
Farmer Buys Machinery and Supplies
at Retail Prices and Sells Product

By JOHN H. VAUGHAN. Professor Of
Economics. New Mexico Agricultural
College.)
A manufacturer who bought all his
raw materials. tools. machinery and
supplies at the high retail price and
sold his product at the low wholesale
price would expect but one result
from his enterprise-failure. Instead
of this childish procedure. he goes in
to the market, buys his raw materials
and supplies at the lowest wholesale
figure, manufactures his product and
puts it on the market at a profit. II

not great enough to secure the lowest
prices on his raw materials, he Joins

his machinery and supplies at the

MIDDLEMAN IS A NECESSITY
Machinery for Efiicient Marketing Be-
comes Urgent When PerishabIe
Goods Are to BE Handled.

In discussing the present marketing
organizations the agriculture depart
ment's specialists do not look upon the
''middlemen" altogether as q parasite
because economic laws would not per-
NIT the long continued existence Of q
marketing agency that was acting
solely as a parasite.
Several important factors have con-
tributed to the establishment of many
middlemen as necessary agents In
the present system of marketing.
Production during the last decade has
increased greatly, and improved
methods and facilities for handling the
increase have been introduced. Keep
ing pace with increased production has
come the demand of consumers for
more elaborate and efficient service.
Seldom is the fact considered that
service can BECOME q very expensive
luxury. With the widening of the dis
.tance between the city and the sources
of its fruit and vegetable supplies
there has arisen the necessity for
special agencies to meet the changed
conditions.
The present distributive machinery.
with all its strong points and its weak
nesses, has been created of necessity.
and it has weathered the storm of
much adverse criticism. Every part
of the country is now enjoying the per.
ishable products of the most remote
districts. Any readjustment of pres
ent market practices must be based
upon the fact that some agency must
continue to perform the functions OF
the present day middleman.
The problems involved in handling
goods through a large market differ
greatly from those Of production.
Usually one man or one firm cannot
handle both production and distribu.
ton and succeed at both. The vast
volume of business transacted at large
market centers makes necessary some
special agencies which can devote al
their energies to distribution. Espe-
cially does the machinery for efhcient
marketing become necessary when
perishable goods are to be handled
Commodities of this sort must be
moved rapidly. must be distributed
evenly. and from their very nature
permit of no weakness in distributive
machinery. II they are to be sold at
profit.

ONE BRAND OF COOPERATION
Success Cannot BE Attained by Sup
porting Scheme Of One Man
Farmers Must Work Together.

The least satisfactory business Ar
rangement imaginable Tor farmers Is
for a group of them to cooperate with
q professional promoter. Some Of
these gentlemen are abroad In the
land again, and 1t IL worth while to be
on guard against them. Twenty years
ago the creamery builder left his
shadow in the central West. gathered
in q rich harvest of real money and
was seen no more. The creameries he
promoted stayed sometimes q year.
sometimes longer. but most Of them
eventually moldered away. the ma
chinery. perhaps obsolete at the begin
ming, rusted. and the farmer investors
cherished their experience. The fault
with the operation was that q cream
cry usually was organized where there
were not enough COWS to support It
and the machinery and equipment
were sold at q highly inflated price.
More recently there has been talk
of organizing cooperative packing
plants along similar lines. but this
