 A bullseye flashed.
 Do you surrender?"
 "I do," 1 promised solemnly.
 "Humph Desperate characters r' de clared the voice in the doorway.
 Several men entered and lit two kerosene lamps which they found in cupboard and lantern which seemed to belong to their party.
 In the illumination thus afforded could make out at least a dozen men of the type which is indigenous to the bench in front of the small town gro cery store. Just now. however, they were doing an imitation of the vigil lance committee in the third act of "The Virginian." One carried a coil of half-inch rope, and all were armed with weapons, which ranged from shotguns to horse pistols One, lit tie better dressed than the rest, car ried a camera, which he proceeded to set up in one corner of the room.
 "Ye're arrested" announced the man with gray mustaches of the trail ing arbutus type. I'm the sheriff.
 He displayed a brilliant new star pinned to a suspender bordering a shirt front which was slightly discolored by tobacco.
 "Arrestedr' Clair demanded. What for?"
 Fer willful murder" The sheriff shivered slightly as he spoke. "Ain't that so, boys?"
 A growl answered him. Lynch emp yelled the man who carried the rope, apparently fearful lest he had brought his burden in vain.
 Aye, that's it. String i'm up!" These and other enthusiastic cries treasured him.
 Now, wait a minute, boys" The sheriff turned cold eye on his en- thusiastic retinue and ST tt with fai1 degree of accuracy at the kitchen stove While as a private individool I have to admit, boys, that I would enjoy lynchin' as much as any of you, still l have to remember that I have a duty to perform, sacred trust-namely, te wit, to uphold the majesty of the laE in Maskeloon county"

 Local pride nearly swayed the sheriff against us, but at last he held up his | hand.
 "I can't allow it, boys" he said re l gretfully. All we can do, accordin to the law, is to take 'em to jail.'

Ii would be difficult to imagine greater ca

railroad from Brandywine to Mechanicsville, and
we are glad that the people Of the county have
realized this and have averted the danger that
threatened. The Government has accepted the
assurance Of the Finance Committee Of the new
company that they would be prepared to close
the deal on July 5, but there is still urgent need
OF additional stock subscriptions to provide funds
for the repair Of the road and equipment SO
that it can resume operation.
A meeting for this purpose will be held in
Leonardtown tomorrow (Friday) evening at
$50 p. m. Among the speakers who will
present the railroad status to date and outline
the plans for the future, will be Messrs John
Mudd, ]. Hampton Magruder Rev. Father
Mcguire and probably Hon. Sydney E. Mudd.
Every man and woman who has at heart the
welfare Of the county and hopes to see con-
dnuance Of our present prosperity should attend
this meeting.

work is required by the Compulsory Work
Act, and the man who persists in working less
than that is liable to registration as an ider.
There should be no compromise at this critical
PERIOD and it is just as much the duty Of every
citizen to report the loafers In his neighborhood
as it is incumbent on the police officials to en-
force the law when violations are brought to
their attention. No man is justified In COM
planning Of the scarcity Of help when he fails in
his own duty to report the idlers in his COM
munity.
There is no means Of escaping from the In
dividual duty Of every man to cooperate for
the strict observance Of this law. Every offer
of outside assistance to relieve the labor situation
has been met with the statement that there was
plenty of labor in the county if it would only
work. The writer can bear personal testimony
that this answer has been given time and time
again by representative and responsible farmers
when State and government agents have come
here to make survey Of the county's needs.
