They put it LID to me like this: they said 1 owed it to them, that it was my duty; that l had always been a severe trial to them ; that my savagery had put gray into my mothers hair, and lot of things of that kind. I fell for it at last; it was sort of a matter of self-defense. With Patricia, it was a case of-well, case of simple obedience. Pat is q good girl.

I turned my head and saw the same shadow in the eyes of my greatest friend, Bobby McLaurln. knew then. Bobby and Patricia loved each other.

 And all the MorelanG rifles arc missing" Dale watched the effect Of his words.
 "Whatl" the Hecks cried in one voice
 Their surprise seemed genuine. Dale pressed the subject further and learned only that if they knew any thing Concerning the disappearance of the rifles they were not going to tell. Then he started homeward by way of the pool above the bIown-down syc- amore.
 There was chance that Ben Little fords daughter would be there fishing, Dale told himself, and it was barely possible that she could throw some light on the mystery of the rifles.
 He crossed the river by means of the prostrate tree. Babe was there she sat on the stone on which she had been sitting the morning before; her back was to him, and her bare feet were in the water to her ankles. Dale went up close, stopped and gathered handful of violets and dropped them over her shoulder and into her lap.
 Babe looked around and smiled.
 What luck. Miss Littleford?"
 "Nothin'. I don't much want to ketch anything" she said slowly, q spirit of sadness in her musical voice. IT jest come off down here to be whar it's quiet. You ought to hear the noise at pap and the rest of 'em IS 1 a-makin!"

 No; but he would ha' beer of he hadn't ha' had all his madness turned ag'in them Moreands. You knowed about pap's trouble on van side O the river last night?'
 "Yes, l knew about that" Dale an- swered slowly. But John Moreland thought your father was my antago- mist of yesteray."
 "An-antagonist?" Babe muttered inquiringly. What's that?"
 II mean Adam Ball, y'know."
 "Oh. That's what 1 told pap. But pap he wouldn't believe it, and he won't never believe it-'cause he don't want to believe 1t. I told him at John Moreland wasn't a-shootin' to bit, and he wouldn't believe that neither. Pap's he gifts fool notion on him. What what did them Morelands say about their guns a-bein gone?'
 Dale strengthened.

Bright and sparkling from begin ming to end, presented almost with out flaw, it pleased one of the largest audiences ever assembled at the auditorium.
 It would be hard to discriminate between the leading characters and to say just which role was best played, but the consensus of opinion seemed to give the palm to Miss Virginia Dixon, Lillie White, the black maid of charming Cindy. From her first appearance in the first scene in Cindy's dressing room, Lillie White seemed absolutely perfect.
