SCHOOL NOTES
BY o, W. RoTe. Principal
Monthly Summary for March.
Prim'ry Gram
Dept. Grade
Days Iaught, 70.

Review work for the final examination
has been commenced in the Seventh and
Eighth grades.
Miss Deu Pree, County Superintend-
ent of Schools, suggested in one OF the
official bulletins this year that contests
be arranged during the spring months
between the schools in the county. Act
ing upon this suggestion, the Elbert
school, in all departments, issurs an in
vitation to any school in Elizabeth or
Kiewas ~ any adjacent district school
| to aeontest in all or any one of the
school subjects. Any school wishing to
accept this invitation may communicate
with any of the school officials u District
1 No. IL, and agreeable arrangements will
be made for the contest. This will create
interest, enthusiasm and friendly ri
| valry. Athletic contests may also be in :
| cluded.
A special meeting is called for April
Il for the purpose OF considering the
question OF Consolidation. Consolida
tion is one OF the greatest improvement 8
yet devised for the improvement If the
rural schools. According to the iegisla-
! tive enactment it includes transporta
{ tion for all children living outside the
one mile radius of the centralized school.
the advantages Of Consolidation are
numerous. Among these advantages the
] following may be mentioned:
First. 1t provides a better graded
course OF instruction and more teachers
than can now be found in the one room
rural school.
Second. 1t is no more expensive TO
maintain and is much more efficient, as
shown by the statistics of graduates in
districts before and after consolidation
Third A high school department
may be established, thereby providing
the country children with the same edu
cational advantages as they could have
in the city without having to leave home
| Fourth. In every state where it has
been established it has proven success
full, transportation included. Some oil
these states are Idaho, Montana and
North Dakota, where the climatic con
ditions are much more severe than any
where in Colorado.
Consider these facts, ask yourself con
cerning your duty to the children ol
your locality, and vote as conscience die
tates-you will not regret it.

he asked, with a faint smile on his

Duane removed them, wondering If
the outlaw had the thought that he
did not want to die with his boots on.

CHAPTER ".

Two days later, about the middle Of
the forenoon, Duane dragged the two
horses up the last ascent of an exceed
ingly rough trail and found himself on
top of the Rim Rock, with beautiful,
green valley at his feet, the yellow,
sluggish Rio Grande shining in the
sun, and the great, wild mountainous
barren Of Mexico stretching to the
south. -
No wonder outlaws were safe in that
wild refuge! Duane had spent the last
two days climbing the toughest and
most difficult trail he had ever seen.
From the looks Of the descent he
imagined the worst part Of his travel
was yet to come

oval. Luke Stevens may be as gabby
as an old woman, but sometimes he
doesn't say anythin'. 1t wouldn't have
done no good"
Duane babe him sit down, removed
his shirt, and washed the blood from
his breast and back. Stevens had been
shot in the breast, fairly low down
and the bullet had gone clear through
him. His ride, holding himself and
that heavy pack in the saddle, had
been a feat little short of marvellous
Duane did not see how it had been
possible, and he felt no hope for the
outlaw. But he plugged the wounds
and bound them tightly.

said. me an him fell out over boss

"It's pretty bad" replied Duane
and he could not look the cheerful out.

II reckon 1t is. Wal, I've had some
bad wounds I lived over. Guess mebbe
can stand this one. Now, Buck, get
me some place in the brakes, leave me
some grub an water ut my hand, an
then you clear out"
leave you here alone?" asked Du-
ane sharply.
"Shore. You see I can't keep up
with you. Brown an his friends will
foller us acrost the river ways.
You've got to think Of number one in
this game"
"What would you do in my caseT'
asked Duane curiOusly.
wal, I reckon I'd clear out an save
my hide" replied Stevens.
Duane felt inclined to doubt the out
laws assertion. For his own part, he
decided his conduct without further
speech. First he watered the horses,
filled canteens and water bag, and then
tied the pack upon his own horse.
That done, he lifted Stevens upon his
horse, and, holding him in the saddle,
turned into the brakes, being careful
to pick out hard or grassy ground that
left little signs Of tracks. Just about
dark he ran across II trail that Ste
vens said was good one to take into
the wild country.
"Reckon we'd better keep right on

Stevens, with laugh.
All that night Duane. gloomy and
thoughtful, attentive to the wounded
outlaw, walked the trail and never
halted. Dawn caught the fugitives al

"Wal, I'm pretty pore. but you'll
never starve while got anythin'."
Here 1t struck Buck again-that
something human and kind and eager
which he had seen in Stevens. Duane's
estimate Of outlaws had lacked this
quality. He had not accorded them
any virtues.
"I'm much obliged to you. Euchre."
replied Duane. But Of course won't
live with anyone unless I can pay my
share"
"Have it any way you like, my son."
said Euchre. good-humoredly. You
make fire, an I'll set about gettin'
grub. I'm a sour-dough, Buck. Thet
man doesn't live who can beat my
bread"
"How do you ever pack supplies
in here?" asked Duane, thinking of the
almost inaccessible nature Of the val
ley.
Some comes across from Mexico
an the rest down the river. That
river trip is a bird. It's more'n five
hundred miles to any supply point.
Bland has mOZOs, greaser bOatmen.
Sometimes, too, he gets supplies in
from down-river. You see, Bland sells
| thousands Of cattle in Cuba. An all
this stock has to go down by boat to
meet the ships"
"Where on earth are the cattle
driven down to the riverr' asked
Duane.
| "Thets not my secret" replied Eu-
chre shortly. Fact is, don't know.
I've rustled cattle for Bland, but he
never sent me through the Rim Rock
| with them"
Duane experienced a sort Of pleas
ure In the realization that interest had
| been stirred in him. He was curious
about Bland and his gang, and glad to
have something to think about. For
| every once in a while he had a sensa-
| ton that was almost like a pang. He
wanted to forget. In the next hour he
did forget, and enjoyed helping in the
preparation and eating of the meal.
Euchre. after washing and hanging up
the several utensils, put on his hat and
| turned to 60 out
Come along or stay here, as you
want" he said to Duane.
"1'll stay" rejoined Duane slowly.
The old outlaw left the room and
| trudged away, whistling cheerfully.
