and placed it on the table beside him.
There was the low shutting of feet
as half dozen persons knelt at their
chairs. The prayer which followed
was much like John Moreland's own
bedtime prayer; it had in it less of
supplication than of thanksgiving.
And IN the tail of it there were
words that we're like bullets to the
mountaineer at the gate
Bless the good man who is with
us here tonight, and all o. our kin
folks, and all O. our friends, and all
o. our inemies- and specially the
Morelands. Aymen."
DaIe's hand came down hard on
John Moreland's shoulder.

The old clan leader hung his head,
like man suddenly broken. He re-
piled not word; he seemed amazed
into speechlessness. He had been
wrong in his estimate of Ben Little
ford; he had lied about man who
had just asked the good Almighty to
bless him. John Moreland choked a
little and started toward the cabin.
He walked as though half blind across
the porch, and entered without knock
ing, and went in to Ben Littleford with
his right hand outstretched.
LES begin anew" he said huskfly
Les be friends, yore people and my
people, you and me!''
Littleford arose and CROPPED for his
old-time enemy's hand, found it and
grasped it in both his own.

When Dale left them, they were
talking over a great bear-hunt that
they had taken together a score OF
years before.
The moon, full and as bright as new
gold, had risen just under the beacon
star when Bill Dale reached the door
step of the cabin that was home to
him. He faced about. The broad
green valley lay very serene and very

Came silence that was heavy.
Each was depending upon the other to
make the advance. The two clansmen
stared at each other more and more
sharply, and soon shadows Of bitter
ness began to creep into their eyes.
Then Major Bradley, guest of Ben
Littleford, strobe into the room with
a patrician and soldierly air. and he
understood the situation perfectly.

They didn't. Neither seemed to

BABE COMES BACK.

Synopsis.-Young Carlyle Wilbur
ton Dale, or "Bill Dale" son of
a wealthy coal operator, John K.
Dale, arrives at the Hallway
Switch, in eastern TennesseS,
abandoning life of idle ease-and
incidentally a bride, Pssricia Claw

make his OWE +way in life. He
meets pare Littleford, typical
mountasneer girl. by" Heck, a
Character of the hills, takes him to
John Moreland's home. Moreiand
is chief of his "clan," which has
an old feud with the Littlefords
He tells Dals Of the killing of his
brother, David Moreland, years
ago, owner of rich coal deposits,
BIZ d man named Carlyle. Dale
believes the man was his father.
Dale makes his home with the
Morelands. Talking with Babe,
Dale is ordered by "Black Adam"
Ball to leave 'shis grip alone.
Dale whips the bully. He arranges
with John Moreland to develop the
coal deposits. Ben Littleford sends
a challenge to John Moreland to
meet him with his followers in bat
tie. Moreland agrees. The two
clans line up for battle. A Lit

crosses to the Moreland side of the
river, and is accidentally shot by
her father and seriously wounded.
The fight stops and Babe is taken
to the city. Doctors announce she
is not seriously hurt. Dale meets
an old friend, Bobby McLaurins
who has married Patricia Claver-
ing. Da1e's father admits he killed
David Moreland and offers him
funds to develop the coal. Dale
declines and gets funds elsewhere.
He realizes he loves Babe, who
goes to live with Patricia to be ed

other great. runbling explosion. Be-
fore the reverberations had died
away, Bill Dale had dree sed himself
and was standing on the vine-hung
front porch, and he was only a few
seconds ahead of John Moreland.
Then there came the tearing sound
of heavy explosion miles to the east
ward.
"Do We know what it is?" inquired
the mountaineer.
They've stolen our dynamite from
the tobacco-barn, and blown up the Of
fee and supplies building and the COM
missary building; also they've blown
up the big trestle near the siding, .
Dale answered.

land
Within the next half nour Dale and
Hayes, Major Bradley, and the men
folk Of the Morelands and the Little
fords had gathered around the wreck
of the two big, unfinished frame build
| ings. Dale blamed himself much for
having left dynamite unguarded i'll the
tobacco-barn-but nobody else blamed
him for it.
Its time to let the law in" he said
when he had viewed the jumbled mass
Of broken ~planks and timbers by the
light of lanterns. He turned to stall
wart Luke Moreland.
You get on my horse and ride to
Gainesville for the sheriff. Tell him
he can get the best posse in the world
right here, if he needs one. It's the
proper thing, isn't it, major?"
.Yes," said Major Bradley, "it's the
proper thing. You've got a real griev-
ance now. But fancy Golf had moth
ing to do with this; he is shrewd
enough to know that a thing like this
would cook his goose. Golf has been
playing a bluff game all along, you
know. Some Balls or some Torreys,
perhaps a mixture of both, have done
this without Goff's knowing anything
about it. I'd have Sheriff Flowers ar
rest several of the Balls and several
of the Torreys, and try to scare them
into turning. states evidence to save
themselves"
The major finished in low tone,
because of the probability for caves
troopers, and in this he was wise.
Wen do that" Dale decided.
He faced Hayes, his right-hand man,
and began to give orders like a vet
eran general manager. The men were
to take their rifles with them to work
in the morning, but they were to fire
no shot unless it was in defense of
| life or property. In the morning every
available wagon in the valley was to
be sent to the little sawmill that was
in operation ten miles toward the low
land for more building material.
BY Heck joined them then. He
guessed just what had happened,
plucked at Dale's sleeWe and whis-
pered:
"Sposen I takes a shsak or two to-
ward them lowdown, walnut-eyed,
knock-kneed, dadblamed Balls and
Torreys and finds out what I can find
out; hey, Bill?"
The answer came readily: Sure,
you be detective. But be careful that
you don't lose anything for US, y
know, if you don't gain anything"

in the darkness of the mountain night.

CHAPTER x

The Barbarian Princess Goes Home.
Miss Elizabeth Littleford beheld an
interesting sight when she alighted
from a northbound afternoon train at
the Halfway switch. Just below the
long siding shorter siding had been
put in-the railway company had been
FASTENED, no doubt, by the great in
fluence of old Newton Wheatley-and
from it had been unloaded small
geared locomotive, a dozen or so of
little coal cars opening at the bottom,
and miles of light steel rails with kegs
of spikes for them.
Out toward her home a crew of men
worked like bees at the building of a
trestle Of round timbers that had been
cut from the nearby woods; she at
once recognized these men as J ore
lands and Littlefords, and she knew
it meant peace! They didn't recognize
her, because of the distance and the
clothing she wore, and because they
were too busy to pay any particular
attention to her.
Farther out toward Doe river an
other crew of men was at work clear
ing the way for the little narrow
gauge. She heard the sounds of the
ak and the saw, the hammer and the
steel, and once there came to her ears
the great dull roar Of exploding dyna-
mite as a cliff was blown clear of it's
foundations.
Miss Elizabeth Littleford smiled
happily. And she had not been happy
for long time. Patricia McLaurin,
with whom she ha dbeen staying, had
been kindness itself, but the mother
of Bill Dale, her Bill Dale, had
snubbed her-and besides the longing
for the old home hills was riotous in
her blood So she had come back, run
away at less than moments notice
as had Bill Dale before her, and how
good it seemed to be at home! She
would have gone to see the men, had
it not been that she feared she would
be a bother.
There was another interesting sight
when she had reached the crest of
David Moreland's mountain. In the
upper end of the broad valley, mid
way between the settlement and the
opening of the Moreland coal vein, two
large buildings were well along in
their course of construction.
She put down her bundle Of cloth
ing, shaded her eyes with her hand,
and tried to find Bill Dale among the
builders. But the distance was too
great; a man down there was but a
mere speck. =. Before she went on,
she removed her shoes and stockings.
It was hard for Babe Littleford to be-
come accustomed to wearing useless
shoes and stockings in warm weather
When she had reached the foot of
the mountain, she didn't take the by
path her people had been wont to use
in order that they might avoid con-
tact with the Morelands. There was
no need of avoiding contact with the
Morelands now, thank goodness!
Then a voice hailed her from the
laurels out at her right, the voice she
loved better than any other
Hello, Miss Littleford!"
Babe stopped and faced him, and
she blushed furiously when she saw
him. He was coming rapidly toward
her with his hat in his hand, and his
brown hair was rumpled and damp
with perspiration. She saw that he
was in boots and corduroys, the cloth
ing of q timber-jack, and he looked
bigger in them; about his waist there

feet. John Moreland, too, arose.
WED as well go, hadn't we?" Dale
clipped, and there was disgust in his
voice.

land.
They walked out of the cabin, leav-
ing Major Bradley and Ben Littleford
gazing silently after them. At the
gate Dale caught John Moreland's
sleeve and halted him.
"Why on EARTH" he demanded
"didn't you make the break?"
'sBin Dale, 1 went into his house y
Dale put his hands on one of the
weatherbeaten gateposts and looked
over to where a bright star burned
like a beacon light above the pine
fringed crest of David Morelands
mountain. He continued to look at
the star his face gray, until it glim-
mered.
Then he began to blame himself;
he was the hope of a benighted peo-
pie, and he had foolishly lost his tenn

whether it was yet too late, and

The voice of Ben Littleford came to
them plainly because the night was so
very still; he was reading from the
Gospel according to Saint Mark,
preparatory to his bedtime prayer.

"A Modern Salome"

One of the many interesting epi- sodes in "A Modern Salome," in which Hope Hampton makes her screen de- but, and which is distributed through Metro, appearing at the Eagle theatre tonight and Wednesday and Central theatre Thursday represents the court of King Herod of ancient times. It is the incident where the notorious Sa- lome does her famous Dance of En- chantment, at the end Of which the monarch offers her whatever she de sireS as a, gift-and she asks for the head of John the Baptist.
 This story, narrated in the Scrip lures, inspired the dramatic poem of "Salome" by Oscar Wilde and the opera by Richard Strauss Recollections of the way this famous dance has been performed by various artistes is wov- en into the plot of the picture through an hallucination suffered by the hero inc, i'll which she imagines herself to be the famous Salome of old. IL is in !. this incident that she performs the Dance of Entertainment.
 Hope Hampton Productions, Inc. made "A Modern Salome," which is lavish and spectacular drama Wyndham and Percy Standing are prominent in the beautiful young stars support. Leonce Ferret wrote the scenario. suggested by Wildes poem, and directed the picture.

 The first night of d new theatrical production is always the hardest on all parties concerned in it's success. The l,a ,,f nervous prostration-the manager is on edge and even the stage hands are keyed up to something like vague in terest in their work. Then comes the conclusion of the performance. By this time the players and management can tell intuitively whether the piece has gotten over." They seem % sense it in the air.
 And then-oh rapture-if it-is go. a big celebration is in order. The best in the land is none too good for these children of the mimic world. Someone is bound to give "a party after the show and it is here that they give vent to their mental relief from the strain of long rehearsals in most hilarious manner. It is some party.
