so there's not much ground for worry.
Dale was glad. They were all glad.
Ben Littleford laughed nervously in
his sudden joy. He went down to his
knees beside his daughter, took up
one of her limp hands and stroked 1t
in way that was pitiful.
When he arose he spoke cordially
to Moreland. But Moreland didn't re-
ply. He still looked upon his old en-
envy with contempt.
Doctor Mckenzie was leaving the
train at the next town of importance.
and he would wire Doctor Braemer to
meet them with an ambulance. II Dale
wished. --.
If you please" said Dale.
They reached the city shortly before
midnight, and were promptly met by
the surgeon. Braemer took charge of
the patient, put her into his ambu-
lance and hurried her to his private
hospital. Bill Dale and the two clan
chiefs. followed in an automobile. The
hillmen had never before seen an au-
about 1t, and the only word of COM
ment was this, from John Moreland:
II don't like the SMELL"
Everything had been made ready for
the operation, and Babe received sur
gical aid without delay.
The two mountaineers and Dale
waited in another room. Dale had in
duced John MOreland to unload his
rifle, both chamber and magazine.
Babes father paced the floor anxious
ly now and then. Moreland sat like
stone, with his empty rifle between
his knees, and watched his old enemy
queerly.

The mountaineer turned his gaze
over Dale's, shoulder. and his cOunte-
nance seemed to freeze. Dale looked
around quickly and saw Babe Little
ford, less than ten feet behind him i!
She had crept up through the tail
grasses and weeds. In one hand she
carried white flag made of mans
handkerchief and willow switch. She
halted and sat up.
Babel Dale cried out. What are
you doing here?"
Babe gave him a pale smile. Ell

John Moreland stared, and Bill Dale
stared. They were in Presence, and
they knew 1t. Babe went on:

II don't believe We, Babel" snapped
the Moreland chief. "Yore people can

Babe went paler. There was a sud
den burst of firing from the Moreland
rifles, and she crept little nearer to
John Moreland in order that he might
hear plainly that which she had to tell
him next.

But this u q case for 4 surgeon I"
impatiently interrupted Bill Dale.
They disagreed. The old trainman
was 4 close friend of the doctor at
Barton's station. What was the DIFF
ference between doctor and q sur
geon, anyway
Dale became angry.
You'll stop the fast mail for us,"
he snapped, ''or wen take your id

to put the girl aboard, and you've got
only half a second to decide which l"
The conductor was obdurate. The
mountain men were too hot-headed to
bear with him longer. The positions
Of a dozen rifles underwent a sudden
change. The conductor Immediately
went pale and mentioned the law
but he agreed to stop the southbound.
AS he ordered his fiagman up the
tracks, the sound of the fast trains
whistle came to their ears.
The flier came to a screeching halt
with sparks streaming from its wheels.
Bill Dale and John Moreland passed
the litter and its burden into the bag
gage car and followed 1t hastily, and
Ben Littleford climbed in after them.
John Moreland leaned out of the door
way and ordered his son Luke to pass
him his rifle, and Luke obeyed
promptly.
There was shrek from the whistle,
and the brakes were released; the
train began to gather momentum. A
baggageman approached John More
land and asked why the rifle. More
land half closed one keen grey eye
and patted the walnut stock of his
repeater.
"Oh, | jest brought 1t along to see
at everybody has a straight DEAL" he
drawled-''go on about yore business,

The baggageman went about his
business.
The conductor of the fast train was
very unlike the conductor of the north
bound. When he nad learned some
thing Of the circumstances. he insinu-
ated that Dale had done exactly the
right thing. He would see whether
there was Il doctor aboard.
Within five more minutes he re-

placed with its ends on boxes to allow

thorough an examination as was pos

and stood looking down upon the
young woman with something like ad-
miration in his sober. professional
eyes.
Perfect physique" he said as
though to himself. "She will
have to undergo an operation" he told
Dale. "The bone there is broken in

CHAPTER VI.
Back Home,

Every mothers son of the feudists
across David MOreland's mountain to
intercept the next south-bound train.
The old enmity was for the time being
forgotten. Members of one clan
rubbed elbows with members Of the
other clan, and thought nothing of it.
John MOreland himself carried one
end of the crude litter that held the
limp form Of Babe Littleford; Bill
Dale carried the other end.
Close behind the litter walked Babes
father, seeming old and broken with
remorse for the thing he had done.
The grief of Ben Littleford was touch
ing now, and Dale was a little sorry
that he had spoken SO bitterly to him.
They reached the Halfway switch
ten minutes before the arrival of the
fast mail. A short passenger train
was on the long siding waiting for the
south bound to pass. Dale gave his
end Of the litter to Caleb Moreland,
and strobe up to the locomotive. The
engineer sat quietly smoking in his
cab.
Dale wanted the fast mail stopped.
and gave his reasons.
The engineer smoked and consid-
cred. 1t was against rules. Dale
swore at rules. The engineer said he
would see the conductor. He did, and
the conductor stepped to the ground
and began to consider.

The Glenwood post., 1921-08-20

It seemed q long dime before Brae-
mer came to them and told them smii-
ingiy that 1t was all over and that the
girl was then coming from under the
effects of the ether. She would be all
right soon, he was reasonably certain.
No, they'd better not see her Just then.
But perhaps they could see her At
some time during the afternoon OF the
following day.
Dale escorted his two companions
to a modest hotel and then put them
in q room that had but one bed; By
thus throwing them together In .
strange land. he hoped to do some
thing toward making them friends.
Then Dale went to another room, un-
dressed and went to bed.

Littleford quickly reached wordless

and slept on the floor.
When Dale went down to the lobby

young fellow sprang from chair and
hastened up to him.

claimed, as they began to shake hands.
"How did you know l was here, any
way? Your boosted nose for news.
eh?"
Guilty" smiled McLaurin. II got
word last night that q mountain girl
had been brought to Braemer's, acci-
dentally shot, and smelled feud; SO
l hurried over to get the story. You
had Just left, and Braemer's didn't
know much about it. 1t was too soon
after the operation, they said, for her
to see me; then one of the nurses
whispered to me that you had brought
her and said that would find you here.
10 here l am, Bill, and l want the
story. I'll phone II in, ana then III
give you some news"
1.-The story mustn't be published,
Bobby" Dale replied. For one rea-
son, there Is feud; and If the law
knew. 1t might take hand-you see.
l think there Is better way to take
care Of that feud. And | am OF the
opinion that the girl wouldn't like the
publicity. Suppose you forget all
about 1t, Bobby.

sort OF primitive Venus" he winked.

Babe thoughtlessly arose to her feet.
and one side OF her brown head ap-
peared before the sights of her fathers
ritie-her father fired quickly, too
quickly for perfect aim-the bullet
burned It's way across her temple and
through her hair, and she crumpled at
Bill Dale's knees, totally unconscious.
Dale gave hoarse cry and gathered
her limp figure into his arms John
Moreland waved nlof, the white hand
kerchief and beloved to his kinsmen
to stop firing. Then silence came.

Knees and Began to Crawl Through
the Tall Grasses, the Ironweed and
the Meadow Glover.
Come over here, Ben Littleford y
shouted John Moreland. we've shot
yore own gyrull"
And to his brother Abner, whose
right forearm was wrapped in a blood
stained blue bandana:
BLACK Adam Is hid som eres in this
meadow; go ana ketch him, and don't
take no chanst with him. Shoot him
like dawg eff he tries to trick vel"
A dozen men ran to look for the
would-be sniper. The Littlefords, still
armed, came dashing across the river.
Ben Littleford threw down his rifle
and knelt beside his daughter; he
wrung his big hands and cursed the
day that had seen him born.
Dale held her close. His face was
as white as hers, and his eyes were
flaming.
"Why don't you shoot all your wom-
enfolk" he said to the Littleford
chief. and every word cut like knife.
Its by far the simplest way it's mer-
ciful, y'know. See, she Isn't breaking
her heart over your murderous fight
ing now. No. keep your hands away
you're not fit to touch herr
They brought water and wet the
young woman's face, and bathed the
red streak across her temples. They
did all they knew how to do to bring
her back to consciousness, but, except
for her beating pulse and her breath
ing, she remained as one dead. Hours
passed. leaden hours, and her condi.
ton was unchanged.
Dale beckoned to John Moreland,
who had just returned from having
seen Adam Ball caught, disarmed, and
imprisoned in an old tobacco barn.
MOreland FASTENED to Dale, the new
master.
when does the next south-bound
train pass the Halfway switch?" Dale
wanted to know.
Moreland looked toward the sun.
1--WE could make it, all right, but it's
fast train, and it don't never stop at
the switch
Then Wen hold 1t up" declared the
new master in voice of iron. This
Is case for surgeon. Get blanket
and two poles and make a litter"
John Moreland hastened away ODE
diently. Dale turned to Ben Little
ford, who sat In motionless heap be-
side the still figure Of his daughter.
1T was only few hours ago." he
said accusingy, that this poor girl
told me she'd be glad to give her life
to stop your fighting, and now. per-
haps, she's done It. You're brute,
Littleford. like to fight, myself, but
not when 1t costs women anything"
The conscience stricken hillman
gave no sign that he had heard. There
was silence save for the low murmur
of the river and the tragic song of a
bird somewhere In the branches Of
the big white sycamore.

NEED FOR NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
IS DISCUSSED By EDUCATION BOARD
AND SUPERINTENDENT S. D. LARGENT

There il q big educational problem
faciAg US 1t present. said Superin-
tendert Iargent, but 1t is the same
which is facing other cities. Univer-
sites throughout the country are
pressed for space and the time is
coming when the junior college pro-
position will be put to use and stu
dents viii receive two years of college
work in the high school"
As an example he cited the Univer-
sity of California which has establish
ed q southern branch Of the institu-
ton at Los Angeles.
Great Falls will need more
schools in the future" he continued,
"and it is our duty to select suitable
locations for this purpose SO that when
the time comes we will have them at
locations properly centralized. There Is
no question but that we need more
room and when we build we must build
for the future with the aim of estab-
fishing an educational monument"
The members of the board discussed
the matter for time before adjourn
ment. The general concensus was that
school is needed, especially high
school or Junior high school.
The need Of an administrative build
ing for school officials was pointed out
to the members Of the board. This
would permit the utilization of q
couple of rooms In the Washington
school for class purposes.
Great Falls tribune., 1921-10-04

The crowded condition Of the
schools of Great Falls, especially the
high school, was brought before the
trustees Of the board Of trustees cf
dIstrlct No. at their regular meeting
Monday night at the Washington school
BY >. D. Largent, city superintendent
OF schools and resulted iu 4 discussion
BY the members Of the board OF the
feasibility of erecting another school,
preferably high school. in Great
Falls. No action was taken on the
matter, but it was suggested that il
there is any hope Of building school
and having it ready for occupancy by
next September that decision should be
made shortly and bonds issued.
Superintendent Largent pointed out
to the members Of the board Of trus-
tees that the enrolment in the schools
Of Great Falls this year is 5O78
pupils, an increase of 226 more than
the enrolment last year. OF this num-
ber Of additional pupils ITO are regis
tered at the high school and the major
ity Of the remainder are registered in
the grade schools. The junior high
school shows loss of five pupils IN
comparison to the registration last
year, he stated, and 50 less at the
Franklin school on the west side.
These are the only two schools with
a smaller registration than they had
in 1920, the superintendent stated.
