Shelby, while cautiously watchful
of Laud's every motion, was yet aware
that the girl leaned suddenly against

staring toward him, and that Juan

He dropped his gun down on the
table and stared across into Shelby's
imperturbable face with hard, threat
ening eyes.

The ranchman, comprehending the
utter futility Of any attempt at resist
ance, did as he was told, managing to
retain the same cool smile on his lips
The murderous eyes of the squaw-
man never once deserted his face and
Shelby realized that the slightest symp-
tom of treachery would prove his I'M
doing. Laud was in no mood to be
argued with.
"Nice OF you to wait until after I'd

is RUTLAND AFRAID
TO MEET ST. ALBANS?
Local Football Fans Are Beginning to
Think That May Be the Attitude
of O,Brien's Bows.

Followers of high school football have
been watching with interest the claims
and ceunter-claims of Rutland and St.
Adams with regard to the state champion
ship, and the ajority of those IN this cor
ner of Vermont have about made up
their minds that the Rutland team has
been making a consistent effort to avoid
playing ST. Adams. The situation seems
fairly analysed in the following editor
ial from the st. Adams Messenger of yes
terday:
1t is rather amusing to read in The
Rutland Herald stories on the football
championship of the state preparatory
schools Rutland announces that it will
give st. Adams a game if St. Adams de-
featS Lyndon Institute, but if there is no
game between these two, 1T Will take on
Lyndon for the championship, thus wav-
ing st. Adams off the map with imperial
gesture
1t is not plain by virtue of what au-
thority Rutland thus becomes the football
dictator of the state. 1t is entirely self
assumed, and up in this neck of the
woods we think it is assumed as a mat
ter of self-protection. We are getting
the idea that Rutland is afraid 40 play
St. Adams and seeks to avoid a game if
possible.
Comparative scores are not the whole
thing in football, by any means, but when
other standards are missing they become
important. Rutland, Lyndon Institute
and st. Adams have all played Spaulding
high school of Barre With what result
Rutland took its game by a p to o
score, Lyndon pulled its contest out of the
fire by the narrow squeak of to o,
while st. Adams, on slow field, and with
many substitutes in the line up, romped
to a 81 to O victory. Yet Rutland adj
mits that she has the best team in the
state and in high and royal manner Sc
lects her opponent for a championship
contest The Gods of football must be
laughing at the audacity of the thing.
St Adams has tried to get a game
with Rutland; has tried more than once.
Back in the middle of September the To-
Gals asked for game in Burlington Arm
istice day, which was refused because
Rutland said it had home game on that
date At the time of the state teachers
convention, st. Adams asked for another
game in Burlington, but was told that it
must be played in Rutland or nowhere.
And now Rutland has scheduled a game
with Burlington in Burlington on that
date That looks as if Rutland had
made a studied effort all through the sea-
son to avoid the locals. If they have,
they have shown good judgment, but they
ought to work with a little more finesse.
Their tactics have been too obvious.

The University of Vermont football
team has again started work for the big
game of the season, that with Middleburv.
which is to be played on Centennial field
here next Saturday afternoon. Although
Vermont had a big fight with Norwich,
Aliddlebury is generally conceded to have
the edge on the cadet eleven, and Tom
Ready is printing his charges for the stiff
est battle of the season. Owing to- the
condition of weather and field last Satur-
day Vermont did not uncover any of its
plavs outside of line bucks and end runs,
and viii be able to use many of those pre-
pared for that game when Middlebury is
met. However, all practice this week is
being done behind, closed gates, and many
new plays are being practiced.
No serious injuries resulted from the
Norwich game, and every man is ex-
pected to be back in shape for the game.
Grieg was still suffering from an injury

game last week, but viii be in shape for

PURSUED By GH0sTLY SHIP !
Tradition Of Modern Flying Dutehman
That Massachusetts Fishermen
Firmly Believe In.

The burial Of John Winters, recalled
to old-time fishermen tradition of q
modern Flying Dutchman with Its
ghcstly crew that was believed to
roam the seas in pursuit Of ship that
had sent them to the bottom, relates
q correspondent from Gloucester. Win
tiers was the last survivor Of the
crew Of the Gloucester schooner,
Charles Haskell, which in storm IN
March, 1859, ran down and sank a
Salem schooner and its entire crew on
Georges fishing banks. He died at
the Fishermen's Snug Harbor in his
eighty.second year, repeating almost
to the last the tale Of the ghost ship
supposed to have pursued the Has
kell throughout It's career as a fish
erman.
Once off Eastern point, at the en-
trance of Gloucester harbor, Winters
said, a schooner ran down the wind,
hove alongside the Haskell, and its
phantom crew climbed the rigging, de-
claring. themselves the ghosts Of the
Salem fishermen.
Winters and others Of the Haskelrs
crew refused to fish in the ship again
and new crew was taken on. These

Climate and Agriculture.

The surprin nng idea that an arid
climate Is the most favorable for ag-
riculture is explained by report on
the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project
in the state Of Washington. In such a
climate plant growth is stimulated by
almost continuous sunshine, there Is
no night chilling Of the soil following
cloudy days, and crops are harvested
promptly without spoilage by rain, the
products being greatly improved and
the harvesting cost lessened.> The
chief advantage of all, however, is
control of the water, which by arti-
fetal irrigation can be supplied at the
best time and in the quantities needed
by the crops The scant rainfall Of
the Columbia basin area has been a
preparation for the new method. for
the moisture has not been sufficient to
leach away the stored plantfood, but
+. there has been drainage enough to
prevent the accumulation of alkali
salts, the most soluble Of. the earth's
constituents.
