Bill Dale, closely shadowed by ont
lapky Samuel Heck with his inevitable
ever-ready rifle, went among the work
ers with a cheer that he did not feel
For Caleb Moreland was in jail, ant
Caleb Moreland was innocent. Bu
there was one sincere delight foI
Dale: Hayes was driving the littl'
railroad ahead with all his might ant
all the might of his men. Hayes wa:
in high favor with those under him
they worked even harder when he wa
absent than they worked when he wa
standing over them.
Tie days ran on, and there was NJ
sign of hostile demonstration from
the Balls and Toreys. Judging from
appearances, they we're wholly salts
fed with Caleb Morelend's being In
Jail >
Henderson Goff had disappeared.
Dale hoped that he was rid of the man
for all time, but he wasn't. GOff was
nqt so confident as was Major Bradley
that he could establish his innocence
In the matter of the dynamitirg of the
two buildings and the trestle. He
wished very much to steer clear OF
arrest, for reasons Of his own, and he
was biding his time in little town
In western North Carolina. When the
dynamitirg affair had blown over, he
would go back and try again, perhaps
by an altogether new scheme, to get
himself into possession Of the More
land coal.
Then there came to the neighbor'
hood q man whom no Moreland, and
none Of the Littlefords, had ever set
eyes upon before. He was very un-
cputh mountain man, with long black
hair and shaggy beard; his clothing
was Outlandish and ragged. He had
not much to say; there was about
him, somehow, an air Of mystery.
Two days after his arrival, In the
afternoon, the stranger met Dale mid.
way between the Halfway switch and
the opening of the coal vein, and
stopped him with an unpralsed hand.
"Do you know good coal when ye
sex, IT." he drawled.
"Why?" asked Dale on his guard.
The stranger looked sharply In all
directions. as though he wished TO
make sure that no person was within
earShot Of them. Evidently salts
fed, he drew from a trousers pocket
a shining black lump of coal, which
he held out for Dale's inspection.
What do We think O. this here?" he
wanted TO know.
Dale took the lump and examined
It closely 1t was apparently as good
rs the Moreland coal, which had sent
the expert Hayes into raptures. Dale

stopt him by eatin him up in the
mountains near your town. What /
want to know is did it kill him or was
he only partly ct Up and he from this
place and all about the bare. l don't
know but what he is distant hus-
hand of mine. My first husband was
of that name and l supposed he was
killed in the war but the name of the
man the bare ct being the same i
thought it might be him after all and
I thought to know If he wasn't killed
either in the war or by the bare for
nave DeSn IWiSS shii'
their ought to be divorce papers got
out by him or me if the bare did not
eat him all up. If it is him you will
know it by him having six toes on the
left foot. He also sings base and has
a spread eagle tattoed on his front
chest and an<or on his right arm
which you will know him if the bare
did not eat up these parts of him. If
alive don't tell him am married to

YOU had better let on as If am ded
but find out all you can about him
knowing anything what it is for. That
is if the bare did not eat him all up.
If it did don't see you can do any
thing and you needn't take any
trouble. My respeks to your family

TRUE MARKET VALUES
Only Way to Get Them is by Co.
operative System.


81 think you are exactly right in
saying that cooperative marketing
would be worth all it costs just to in
sure the farmer accurate grading and
the full price that each grade should
bring, even IL we can not controi
prices. But some say We, can get ac-
curate official grading without going
into a cooperative association"
Yes, we can get government graders
to grade our cotton for us. So we can,
but even those of us who do so cannot
compel buyers to recognize these
grades-there is the difficulty. know
this from my own experience in selling
my own crop. You can lead horse to
water; but you can't make him drink.
And the pitiful fact is that the more
ignorant a man is and the more des-
perate his need for having government
grading, the less likely he is to know
how to get and use this sort of help.
In one market visited recently this
thing happened. A farmer said to
cotton buyer: II believe will sell my
cotton. Please grade it for me-" The
buyer reported that in all the lot only
two bales were "middling or better"
The farmer decided to wait, and few
days ago another buyer graded the
same lot Of cotton and reported that
there were twenty-six bales ''middling
or better"
That phrase "middling or better" by
the way, like charity, covers a multi
tude of sins. The farmer gets penaliz-
ed for grades below middling but does
not get the benefit of grades above
middling. Under the cooperative
marketing associations "middling or
better will never be heard. The
farmer will know exactly how much
better" than middling every sing'e
bale is and will be rewarded accord
lngly.
The cooperative marketing associa-
ton will not buy cotton on one grade
and sell it on another, as the present
system enables buyers to- do. With
our association 1t will be to the interest
of our selling agents to get as much as
possible for every farmers cotton-not
as little as possible. This is true be-
cause the better prices our selling
agents get, the more liberal the asso-
citation will be in the matter Of salaries
for these selling agents. They must
help us to help themselves.-Clarenc
Poe in Progressive Farmer.
