surveyed him admiringly, with graft
fed sense of proprietorship. The
cheeks of him were tanned to u healthy
brown, his eyes clear and shining. The
offending flesh had fallen away on the
strenuous paths of the Klappan. He
radiated boundless vitality, strength,
alertness, that perfect co-ordina don of
mind and body that is bred of faring
resourcefully along rude ways. She
thrilled at the touch of his hand, was
content to lay her head on his shoul-
der and forget everything in the joy
of his PLY IL nenrness.
They elected to spend the evening
quietly at home. as they used to do.
To Hazel 1t seemed quite like old
times. Bill told her of the Klappan
country, and their prospects at the
mine.
ITS going to be a mighty big thing"
he declared.
I'm so glad" said Hazel.
We've got n group Of ten claims.

lows in the company, stnked five more.

chance to make a fat little stake at
the mine, but he didn't want to leave
the ranch. Great old feller, Jake.
Something of philosopher in his way.
Pretty wise old head. He'll make
good. all right"
In the morning, Bill ate his brenk-
fast and started downtown.
That's the dickens of being IA busi-
ness man." he complained TO Hazel,
in the hallway. 1T rides II man. once
II gets hold of him. Adios, little per
son. I'll get out for lunch. business
or no business"
Eleven-thirty brought him home,
preoccupied and frowning. And he
carried his frown and his preoccupa'
tion to the table.
"whatever is the matter, Billf" Ha'
zel anxiOusly inquired.
"Oh, I've got II nasty hunch that
there's a Niger in the woodpile," he
replied.
And that was all he vouchsnfed.
He finished his luncheon and left the
house. He was scarcely out of sight
when Jimmie Brooks runnbout drew
up ut the curb. half minute later
he was ushered into the living room.
"Bill int" was his first query.

ly dressed gentleman, whose rather
weak blue eyes loomed preternaturally
large and protuberant behind pince-
nez that straddled an Insignificant snub
nose. took OH his glasses and twiddled
them in his white, well-kept fingers.
"Ah. too bndi" he murmured.
Thought I'd catch him.

is hoped that the parents will put forth
a special effort to give us their hearty
cooperation in seeing that every child
of school age is in regular attendance
during the entire school session. A COM

snow has stopped falling it continues

On the Pennsylvania main line near

all railway employees, including office
men. have abandoned all other work
to assist in shoveling snow off tracks.
The congestion at Atlantic port ter

the storm because practically no

TO return an indictment in the case of

was the first in District Attorney
Swann's investigation of the Mitchell

was reported. was opposed to ndicting
MOSS on the testimony of "squealer,"
especially when the evidence was un-
certain. AS he believed.

Judge Wndhams in General Sessions

on the law. He explained that even

court pointed out. was evidence which
must be considered, although not con-

be considered and not prejudice
against a "squealer," the court de-
Clarcd.
