He looked toward the closed inner

Out of the night face appeared at
one of the small windows. 1t was a
feminine face and handsome rather
than pretty. Two slender, sunburned
hands gripped the window-ledge nerv-
ously. The face pressed closer to the
glass, then disappeared. Soon after

Old Agricultural Implement.
The hoe is probably one of the old.
est Of agricultural implements. When
primitive man found well-formed
limb of tree with sharp crook he
had hoe for the cutting, and II was
with such hoes as these that the In
dams planted their large fields of
corn, and prepared the soil for the
planting. There probably was not
much "hilling-up' done and less weed
cutting. There was little, for effort
was made to keep the weeds down
until the corn was high enough to
shade the ground, Hoeing was soon
finished, and the crop was left to it.

the children were sent out to the fields
to scare the birds away. Farmers to-
day know what damage flock Of
blackbirds will do in cornfield. and
what must have been the strength OF
the flocks when nearly the whole con-
tinent was a wilderness?

When Dale came back to q state of
consciousness, he was lying under
covers In the carved black walnut bed.
Beside him stood John Moreland, who
held In one hand bowl containing
hot herb brew that his wife had pre-
pared. Granny Heck. her son BY, and
Mrs. Moreland stood not far away.
"This here'll be good TO- We, think"
said MOreland. nodding .oward the
bowl in his hand. He went over and
put an arm around Dale's shoulders
and helped him to sit up.
Dale drank the stuff with difficulty.
'Much obliged" he muttered thickly.

fellow Ball?"
He shore didn't" smiled Moreland.

His own pap won't hardly know him,
Bill"
News travels rapidly in the big hills.
The Morelands began to gather at the
home of their chief to see the man
who had whipped Black Adam Ball;
every Moreland able to walk came to
see Bill Dale. For three hours he was
lionized, but he didn't enjoy 1t; the
water had left many pains In his
chest, and his head ached DULY, and
his hands still felt as though the bones
were shattered In them.
Came a thundershower that after
noon, and the mountain evening fell
with chill. A fire was made In the
wide stone fireplace in the guests
room, and when supper was over the
family gathered there with Dale, who
refused to be kept In bed.
After a few minutes Of silently
watching grotesque shadows fit across
the log walls, Dale said to John More
land:
"If your brother David could know,
don't you think he'd want you to get
the value out of the coal?"
John Moreland bent forward to rest
his chin In his hands. His sober grey
eyes stared thoughtfully toward the
fire.
II amt never looked at 1t that
away" he said.
"That's the right way to look at It,"
decla d Dale. "But you shouldn't
sell the property as it is"
The mountaineer turned an inQuir-
ing face toward his guest.
"How in thunder could handle 1t
eft / didn't?"
"Why not let me develop 1t for
your" Dale said earnestly, eagerly. II
won't charge you anything above ex-
penses, and / won't be extravagant."

asked Moreland.
mo, but / can get it. Almost any
body would be willing to lend money
on SO good thing as this, y'know."
For a little while Moreland sat there
and looked squarely at Dale, who re-
turned his gaze without sign of
fiinching. The hillman was trying to
find motive.
.How comes It at you, who amt
knowed us but two days." he de-
manded, "can be so much interested
In us2'
The question demanded straight
forward answer. Dale realized that
there was but one way In which he
could give satisfactory explanation,
and that that was by telling the truth
put not the whole truth, as he

1t was done. Moreland took his hat
and the repeater and went alone into
the night.
When some fifteen minutes had
passed, there came to Dale's ears the
sound of shooting. There we're ten
shots In such rapid succession that they
made almost a continuous roar Then
came echoes and reverberations, and
then silence. Soon John Moreland let
himself into the dark room.
His wfe's voice was low and filed
with anxiety:
"What happened, John?"
A dull thud came through the dark
ness as her husbands rifie-butt struck
the floor.

PADDOCK,S RECORD

The technical description of Pad docks record breaking 220-yard dash out on the coast gives a fair measure of confidence that 1t will stand. be- cause those who have seen Paddock run here In the east have been con vinced all along that he Is the record- breaker.
 It appears in the recent California dash he showed his characteristic hes itancy at the start, but a far better erive than usual al the finish. He was almost last out of his tracks at the gun and tried to pass Hutchison at the 50-yard mark. but Hutchison was making a stiff rlce and it was not until later that he was able to forge ahead Probably this struggle with Hutchison was just the thing to carry him at top speed.
 At any rate, just before reaching the tape he made drive forward wi.nl lis upper body and came in yard and half ahead of l tchison; he was go- ing so fast that he hit the barrier some yards away with almost full force.
 In his 100 he made the same des- perate leap at the finish and evidently las conquered that end of the propo-r sition to the extent of cutting frac- tions off his former style of finish.

 A meeting will be held here at an early date to formally organize the league and to adopt a schedule It is planned to open the season about June l. and the schedule will call for games probably through Labor Day.
 None of the railroad jumps are long, and much success for the circuit is anticipated.
 As soon as the fund here is raised, negotiations immediately will be started to obtain a manager and sign players It was considered likely that Gordon Mc- Duff, who has had wide experience in the diamond sport, would be called to take up the managerial reins.

When the barons alght from the cinder finger at Nashville today. it twill be with morale strengthened by one big outstanding fact, and that is that they have at last beaten Nash vile in an opening day programme.
 Back in 1913, the records show, the Barons won an opening game from the Vols. strangely enough trounc- ing their Tennessee opponents by to 8 score, the count by which they defeated the Vols "wednesday. omar Hargrove twirled the Barons to that victory, just eight years ago.
 However, Moleys men pulled what was considered impossible. beating the Vols twice in succession. The Barons not only won the opening game to 3, but came through with another victory yesterday, 3 to 8.
 PLAY IN NASHVILLE
 The Barons are playing in Nash vile today. It will be opening day for Voltown fans, and crowded park should witness the two teams mix matters.
 Tom Drake, the Florida State league product, will probably twirl the game for the Barons while Hub Perdue has saved Payne, his ace, to open the season at Nashville. A spirited battle between Drake and Payne should result.
 Moleys men continued their heavy stick work and excellent fielding yesterday. Aided by eX- cellent pitching, the Barons won easily, despite the close score, and the Vols can have no alibi to shoot
