promised I'd go. I'm agoin' in the

railroad money, mother"
Just then By Heck stopped before
the gate.
"Do We want to go home along as I
90, maw?" he asked.
The three women turned their eyes
toward the lanky moonshiner. He
was standing straighter than they
had ever seen him standing before,
and he held his repeater across one
of his thin shoulders in a manner that
was almost soldierly. 1t was as
though he had just discovered a hith-
erto unknown depth to himself.
The truth was that he was carry
ing a secret that was great, and al
most too much for him.
His aged mother rose with a rheu-
matte groan. "Looky here, By" she
demanded, "what on earth's the mat
ter of ye? Ha' ye done went and
swallered a rifles ramrod, or a fishin
pole, that ye walk so cussed straight
and look like a plumb dadblamed

"No, maw," grinned her son, "Nothin

"Who dye reckon killed Black

"I'm a-lookin' fo' rain today" very
quietly said By Heck.

"The's rain in the air" as though he
had not heard. EFF it don't rain to-

"Now looky here /" snapped Granny
Heck. 81 said who did you think

BY Heck did not smile, nor did he
frown. "Ef it don't rain today nor to-
night" he drawled, "it'll shore rain

protested the old woman vehemently.
"Now you answer me what it was

Said Samuel Heck unperturbed:

CHAPTER xI
BY Heck Keeps a Secret.

When Sheriff Tom Flowers and the
others had been gone for half an hour,
Elizabeth Littleford sat up in the 81
lence. 1t was great and heavy silence
that lowered there over the north end
of David Moreland's mountain. There
was not even the drumming of a yell
lowhammer, not even the saucy chat
tering of a boomer squirrel, not even
the twittering Of bird. Not leaf
stirred anywhere. Everything seemed
lifeless. 1t was almost as though she
were the sole inhabitant of the world.
Then she thought. 1t was noontime,
and the officer and his prisoner would
doubtless halt at John Moreland's
cabin for the MONDAY meal; and II
she fastened she would get to see Bill
Dale again.
So she ran like a doe through the
green woodland, through the tangle or
laurel and ivy and over the moss
covered stones, across a shoulder or
David Morelands mountain. She was
bsrefooted, and her dress was a sim
ple garment of white-dotted blue
calico. and her long brown hair flowed
behind her like the hair Of a young
witch-because of the excitement OF
the morning, she had forgotten to give
it its usual daily plating.
AS she drew near to the Moreland
leaders home, she saw Bill Dale and
the sheriff walk out at the gateway
and mount their horses. Major Brad
ley came out, and he, too, mounted MS
horse: and she was glad that he was
going along. There was a great crowd
all the Littlefords were there, and al
the Morelands, and old Granny Heck
the fortune-teller On every face Babe
saw signs Of sympathy and sorrow
Her eyes filed. She was so glad tha
they. too, loved him. 1t was worth go
ing to jail to know that one was lovet
like thatl Not that 1t didn't hurt tt
see him going to jail, Of course. Jai

When Bill Dale had ridden out Of

flowers and flung herself PROSTATE,

FRITZ LEIBER HERE THIS
 WEEK IN SHAKESPEARE

In pro ding stage settings for the Fritz Leiber production of Shake speare, the management has sought to create an imaginative and sug- gestive quality that will point the artistry and symbolism of the plays and will also add to the dispatch in their enactment High, but natural, colors give a striking pictorial ef- feet to the mountings and, with the aid of mystical lighting. weave fas- cinating spell around the great dramas.
 Although their settings and light sngs possess haunting beauty, they are of an intricate mechanism to per- nit of easy and quick change. In this way the waits between scene are virtually eliminated and the dramas narrative contains closer continuity.
 This revolutionary. change in the manner of scenic equipment has re- ceived flattering indorsement from all the newspaper reviewers in the larger centers of amusement.
 The local engagement will open at the Jefferson theatre on Thursday, October 1s. for three nights and Sat- urday matinee, with the following repertoire: Eamlet," Merchant of enice." "P.omeo and JoaaAt" and Macbeth"

SACRlMENTAL WINE SALE BY WHOLESALE DEALERS NOW UP TO DOUGHERTY

Washington. October 9.--The long disputed question of wholesale deal CTS in sentimental wines being per- mitted to do business under the na- tional prohibition laws, has been put to the department of justice for de- cision. Secretary Mellon has asked Attorney General Dougherty to rule whether commercial firms can be per- mitted to deal in wines for religious purposes.
 Under an opinion of Former Attor- ney General Palmer which banned wholesale liquor dealers from selling intoxicants, the treasury contem- plated the inclusion of the dealer in sacramental wines in the general category. Protests against a ban on the dealers in wines for religious pur- poses were lodged with the treasury by a number of denominations on the ground that the churches were un- able to obtain wines of a standard quality from other sources.
