Continued from last week.

he went with Moreland to the little
enclosure on the highest point OF
David Moreland'S mountain. He held
the lighted lantern While Moreland
worked. They were there for hours.
When the work was finished David
Moreland's brother arose from his
knees in the snow, put the hammer
ind the chisel into his pocket, and
spread open his cold, cranlped fingers.
''Ef David could know" he said
YEARLY, II believe he'd be glad lat
I done it. Anyway, it makes me feel
better"
Ben Littleford put big hand on
John MOreland's shoulder.
YES" he agreed, "ef David could
know about it, he'd be glad ut We done
it, John. The hain't no doubt o that.
And who can say he don't know about
ifY"
Elizabeth learned Of 1t early on the
following morning. When breakfast
was over, she whispered 10 John *.
Dale that there was something she
had to show him. She wouldn't tell
him anything in advance. SO he went
with her TO see for himself.
When at last they stood inside the
weatherbeaten palings, Elizabeth
pointed and said:
Look there, and thank Coo"
Dale looked and saw. The color left
his face, then came back. He Shut his
eyes, Swayed a little on his feet, OPP
ened his eyes, looked and saw again.
He turned to the young woman with
a great joy shining on his face.
Il haven't been so glad" he told
her, 'fOr twenty-five years"
The chiseling away Of the lower five
lines had not only obliterated the
curse: it had left an almost perfect
cross. Then John Moreland's bare,
cold and tireless hands had gone to
work and made it, in every respect, a
perfect cross

CHAPTER Xxx
The End of II All.


The sun ShOne very brightly that
day, and the snow began TO melt on
the places that were not shaded.
When he returned with Elizabeth from
the crest of David MoreIand's noun
tain, John X. Dale took a rocker be-
fore the fire and sat there thinking,
thinking, until the midday meal was
announced. When the midday meal
was over, he resumed his chair and
sat there thinking. thinking, until the
afternoon was half gone
Then he called Elizabeth to him.
viii you go TO my son and tell him
/ wish TO see him." he said And he
ADDED under his breath: 4 think it is
best that they should know
Elizabeth heard that which he had
said to himself as we'll as She heard
that which he had said to her. Should
know! Know what? She had a sud
lien wild fear that Mrs. Dale had
broken her promise never TO breathe
a word OF the truth concerning the
Adam Ball affair. Nevertheless. she
went TO Bill Dales Office.

and with his head in his hands. 10

She spoke. 'Bill !"

Young Dale frowned. "What is it?"
I'D rather he'd tell you about it.

She turned and was about to hasten
away, when he called TO her ::

A Slayer of Microbes.

There are few more beautiful sights
in the world than winding river
shining in the sunlight. But our in
terest in such scene may be greatly
heightened by the reflection that the
sunbeams are not merely identifying
the water; they are engaged in a
curious work of the utmost Importance
TO mans welfare. Scientific investiga.
ton has proved that sunlight possess.
es wonderful power to kill injurious
germs in river water.
Where a river is polluted by sew.
age, millions and billions of danger
GUS microbes flourish in its water, and
are carried along with it to spread dis
ease and death around its banks I'm
less their development is arrested
If the sun does not shine upon such
a river it may become a peril to whole
communities. But if the sunlight does
reach it freely, the germs are destroy.
ed and the water is kept comparatively
free from infection.
Recent experiments in Italy have
shown that sunbeams are able to de.
stroy bacteria in water at a depth oil
at least twenty inches beneath the sur.
face. One might almost liken the
rays Of light in such case to javelins
and arrows piercing an enemy, for il
has been found that the destructive
action is greatly diminished if only the
perpendicular sunbeams fall upon the
water.
The slaughter of the microbes is BY
far the greatest when both perpen
dicular and oblique rays enter the wat
er uninterrupted. Like a ship in &C
ton. the sun is most powerful when i
can rake the enemy with a cross fire
And it has to shoot its tiny arrows o
light long way-almost ninety-thr
million miles! But fortunately for us
they get here and they are effective.

Sending For Him.

When Canon Burroughs Of Feter-
borough, England, was in America
some months ago he told this sig
nificant story: A woman employed in
an English mill was allotted a d:ffcu.,
piece of machine work to do. The
foreman told her to send for him if she
had any trouble with her machine
She had to send for him several times
and finally decided that she would
not bother him again but would herself
try to remedy any trouble that might
arise. But when trouble occurred and
she tried to conquer it she merely made
the difficulty worse. The machine
came to complete stop.
When the foreman came to her aid
she looked up at him and said, 81 did
my best"
NO" said the foreman quietly, "the
best is sending for me-"
To-day men and women everywhere
are trying to do their best alone. for.
getful that the Master of all work
stands ready to help them in the rem.
ediable little things as we'll as in the
great things they lead to. The best is
always sending for Him.

Turkey Disease Conquered.

There is good news for the lover Of
roast turkey in the announcement that
a positive cure has been found for
"blackhead," the disease that kills one
half Of the turkeys Matched each spring.
The disease has heretofore baffled poul-
try breeders and little has been learned
regarding il since DR.. Theobold Smith,
at one time head of the United States
Bureau of Animal Industry, discover
ed the germ in 1892. About all that
was known was that when the disease
appeared it demanded tremendous toll
and usually wiped out the entire flock.
This tremendous fatality is the cause
of the recent high cost Of turkeys. Far
mers have ceased to raise them because
there was much trouble and little pro-
fit. The number Of turkeys that reach
ed the market for Thanksgiving has
been less and less each year as the
number of hocks in Vermont and Rhode
Island dwindled and those in Virginia,
Tennessee, and Texas dropped from
thousands to hundreds.
Drs. II. M. and Paul Wegeforth, OF
San Diego, Cal, announce that ipecac
will prevent and cure blackhead They
experimental for years and say in 1920
they eliminated >blackheads from all
flocks that were treated. The fluid ex-
tract can be used or it can be admins
tered in powered form. One teaspoon
full twice a week for each 80 turkeys
will do the trick.
If the remedy is all that is claimed
for it the turkeys should increase un-
iii within three or four years turkeys
should sell for about the same price
/ per pound as chickens

Generals Names Penned On Wall.

A remarkable discovery was made
| by workmen at the historic mansion
of Chatham, on Stafford Heights, op-
posite Fredericksburg, Va, after they
had scraped three layers of wall paper
from the walls. On the walls in a
small hall just inside the entrance to
the left wing large number of sigma
lures of officers and men Of the Union
Army were written on the white plas-
tering wall in pencil, many of them yet
very legible, after being inscribed there
over half hundred years ago.
During the Civil War Chatham was
used to quarter soldiers of the Northern
Army on several occasions, and it was
during this period the names were
written. Among the signatures stand
ing out most distinctly were the follow
ing: General Burnside, Brig-Gen. Jud-
son Fitzpatrick, commanding Third Di-
vision Cavalry Corps; Lieut.. James B.
Seywell, First New York Mounted
Rifles; T. w. Moffett, Third Indiana
Cavalry; Brigadier-General Buford,
September ?, 1868; Captain Nelson,
Company B, First Regiment New Jer-
sey Corps; John F. Bradshaw, April
I, 1865; F. D. German. There are
scores of other names scrawled on the
walls which are less distinct. The hand
of time has obliterated large num-
Der of the signatures. A photograph
of the signatures will be taken before
they are covered.
During the war between the States
this imposing old mansion was known
as the Lacy House," being owned al
that time by Major ]. Horace Lacy
In 1862 it was occupied for a time by
General Burnside, who placed pom
toon bridges over the Rappahannock
river nesting at its feet, on which
the Federal troops crossed to Fred.
ericksburg. About this time Presi-
dent Lincoln spent day at Chatham.
1t was here that Washington and his
!, bride spent their honeymoon ano
) where Gen. Robert E. Lee wooed anc
won the heart of Mary Parke Gusts.
; The house around which so much
romance clusters is of English archi
lecture with massive brick walls an:
fanked by spacious wings. 1t wa:
built before the Revolutionary Wal
by William Fitzhugh. Many changes
were wrought to the mansion with the
passing of the years, among which was
the erection of large porches in bott

typical of the Colonial architecture.

rate preparations have been made by
the committees of the club who have
been hard at work for several days to
give something quite unusual and
worth in value far beyond the modest
amount asked for the entertainment

FARM CONFERENCE
HAS BEEN CALLED
BY SEC. WALLACE
Discussion Of Practical Ways To
Relieve Rural Depression To
Be Heard Shortly

Washington, Dec. 31.-Acting at the
direction of President Harding, Sec
retary Wallace was extending invita-
tions today to farmers organizations
and representatives of industries as
sociated directly and indirectly with
agriculture to attend the national con
ference here probably within Il month
to Suggest" practical ways of inn
provement for "the severe agriculture
al depression which exists through
out the land"
The presidents request that such
a conference be called was an
nounced yesterday in letter to the
secretary in which he declared that
while mo one will pretend that the
present conditions could have been
avoided, none of us is willing to agree
that there ought not to be some cor
rect and constructive steps taken to
remedy the severe hardships under
which so important a position of our
constructive citizenship is strug.
Cling"
He suggested that the conference
for which no date has yet been SET
nor a complete invitation list made
up. might divide its work into two
sections, one for consideration "oi
our present day difficulties" and the
other to work out general policies fol
the future.

NINETY LEPERS FOUND
In NEW YORK CITY, SAYS
HEALTH COMMISSIONER


New York, Dec. 31.-Approximately
80 cases of leprosy are known to ex-
list in New York City DR.. Royal s.
Copeland city health commissioner,
declared when he produced few of
what he called practically non-con-
tagious lepers" at meeting of health
officials at the health department to-
day.
"Leprosy is much more prevalent
than is popularity known" he said.
Unfortunately leprosy, as most of us
know it, is confounded with the lep-
rosy of the Bible. Modern leprosy
can only be acquired by taking into
your blood the blood of leper So
long as there are no open sores, le-
pers are not to be feared"
Thirteen cases are kept isolated at
North Brother island, he said. while
unconfined lepers are listed and Wis
tied often enough by inspectors so
we know that society is amply pro
tected" The meeting was brought
about to acquaint members Of the
health department medical staff and
other physicians with the signs and
the symptoms of leprosy.
