"All right. If you want to quarrel

I wanted to get along quietly with you,

"Go as far as you like" returned
John icily.
Rainface, though he had said moth

braid Of coarse hair which fell down

hook from his pocket. This he fastened
to the line; then arising passed to the
table and filed his pipe from the to-
bacco jar which sat upon it. Seeing
that neither of the quarreling men
were paying any attention to him he
deftly fastened the hook through the
plan, then lighting his pipe went back
to his seat by the fire. Here while
smoking imperturbably he quietly pull
ed the hair line and dragged the plan
from the table and to him across the
floor, slipping it into his pocket just
as the quarrel came to an end. Morgan
abruptly arose.
Every we'll. We will let the matter
rest until morning. You take the will
and I'll keep the plan." Astonishment
lighted his face as he glanced at the
vacant place upon the table where
until a few moments before the plan
had reposed.
"It's gone!"
j "Where?" demanded John. Morgan
cast his eyes about, letting them rest
upon Rainface who seemed to be doz-

the Injun know, for I saw it lying
there after he filed his pipe and he
has not been near the table since"

closed behind him the head of Rainface
arose from his breast and his black
eyes centered themselves upon the
face of John Davis.
"Him bad white man." he said with
a Jerk Of his thumb in the direction Of
the departing one. John smiled.
Maybe we have only seen his bad
side, Rainface. I guess he will turn
out all right when he has had chance
to think things over" Throwing his
cigar aside he said "good night" and
passed into the lean-to room, and
seating himself upon the bed drew the
will from his pocket and began to
read it carefully, all unconscious of the
fact that the malignant face Of Hawk
Morgan was peering at him from the
darkness without.
An hour passed, and Morgan, eau
tiously opening the door of the harness
room, lighted the lamp and stood in the
center of the floor as he took quick
mental inventory Of what the room
contained. Saddles and parts of har-
ness hung upon pegs and half dozen
lariats lay about. Selecting one OF

Tells an Interesting Story.

Mr.. Sam Duvall, who received his
education at the Lindsey Wilson, and
also taught in the institution a year,
returned from overseas last week, hav-
ing spent eleven months in France.
He was in fifteen battles, went over
the top, and escaped without being
wounded. At one time he escaped
getting hurt, heavy pair of gloves
and his wooden cap protected him. In
entering battle he removed his gloves
and cap, putting them in pocket at
his side. He. had not been fighting
long before piece of shell struck the
pocket, went through his cap and
gloves and his clothing, stopping
when it reached his body. BE is sat-
isfied that the gloves and cap saved
him from being either killed or wound
ed. The army was so busy fighting,
he says, he often went a day and
night without eating, and when he
did eat, it had to be done hurriedIy
while the fighting proceeded. He
says the day they broke the linden
burg line, the fight commenced early
in the morning, the sky being
clear and bright, but in a few
hours perfect darkness reigned, the
smoke from the big guns and smaller
arms creating it, and they fought
without seeing until the line was
broken.
He was also in Belgium and he says
the horrible stories told of how Ger
mans treated women and children was
not overdrawn; that he saw a number
Of little boys without hands and feet,
they having been chopped off by the
cruel Huns.
He stated that quite a number OF
little Belgium boys we're brought
across by American soldiers who
would adopt them.
Mr.. Duvall is now with his wife at
Glenville, this county.
