Drawled Heck: LES set down here
and watch it; hey?'
Dale was silent. The very air was
filled with the spirit Of tragedy. The
faroff tinkle Of cowbell seemed
tragic; tragic, too, sounded the song
of bird somewhere in the tree
branches overhead.

better not go away until tomorrow.

grinned.
They went back to John Moreland's
cabin.
1t was altogether by accident that
the LittlefOrd chief found his weapons.
He had dropped small coin through
a crack In the floor. Babe was quick
to say that she would crawl under the
house and look for the coin, although
she had just put on freshly laun-
dered blue-and-White calico dress. Her
anxiety showed plainly in her face.
Her father questioned her sharply, and
she stammered in spite Of herself. Ben
Littleford's suspicious were aroused.
So he came out from under the cabin
floor with his hands full Of the steel
Of rifle barrels, and with the money
forgotten. He placed the rifles care
fully on the floor of the porch, turned
and caught his daughter by the arm.
who hid 'em?" he demanded gruft1y.
II hid 'em," was the ready answer,
defiant and bitter-T, mel What're
you a-goin' to do about it?"
Littleford flung his daughters arm
from him. He was king, even as John
Moreland was king. His keen eyes
stared at the young woman's face as
though they would wither 1t.
what made you hide 'em?" he
growled. Say, what made ye do irI"
ITO try and save human lives, ats
why!" Babe answered. "That man
from the city-what'u he think o. us
a-dOin' this-away, a-fghtin' like crazy

"Ef he don't like the way we do
here, he can go back home" retorted
the angry mountaineer. He amt tied,
Is he?
Babe smiled a smile that was some
how pitiful, and turned off.
"The' amt no use in a-argyin' with
you, pap" she said hopelessly. IL
might nigh wisht was dead"
At that instant the gate creaked
open. Babe glanced toward it and saw
coming that black beast Of a man,
Adam Ball the Goliath, and he was
armed heavily; In one hand he carried
new high-pOwer repeating rifle, and
around his great waist there was
new belt bristling with long, bright
smokeless cartridges fitted with steel
Jacketed bullets.
When Dale and his companion
reached the cabin, Addie Moreland met
them. Anxiety was breaking her
heart.
"Mr. Dale" she pleaded, II want you
to go down thar to the river and see
eff the's anything ye can do to stop
1t afore it begins. You jest walk out
bold in the open and ye won't be shot
at, and I'll be obleeged to ye. Oh,
know the amt but one chanst In ten
thousand, but I'm a-prayin' yen strike
that one chanst."
Dale knew that he could do nothing
toward bringing peace, and he knew
that John Moreland would be angry
at his interfering. But he nodded and
went toward the river. He didn't have
the heart In him to refuse.
Theu there came the keen thunder of
a rifle shot.
Dale halted for o moment. Between

Coal Probe for Jersey
Something in the way of coal
probe for New Jersey is almost assur-
ed by action of the special commission
authorized to make the investigation
by the legislature i'm the recent ses-
sion. The commission is composed of
three senators and three assemblymen
under the resolution introduced by
Senator Mackay of Bergen county, but
nothing has so far been done to carry
out the plan. although there have been
many inquiries from all parts of the
state as TO what might be expected of
1t.
Senator Wallworth of Camden cOun-
ty and Assemblyman Guthrie of Mer-
Ger. who We're appointed to the COM
mission. were at the state house press
ing Chairman Mackay to move. The
Camden senator said that much criti-
ciSm had been aroused over the lethar-
gy of the commission. especially in
view of the fact that coal prices have
remained at the high level, with COM
mOdities of all kinds showing down
ward trend. and that ii is necessary to
meet these criticisms with some show
of interest and activity. ASSemblyman
Guthrie indorSed this view of the situ
alton. and Senator Maclay decided to
call the commission TO organize and
gin its work. In what direction the
investigation will go and who will be
called to give testimony will not be
determined until the meeting for or
ganiZation.
Governor Edwards let it be known
that he will call the senate in special
session the week of June 6 to receive
his appointments to the new state con
stabulary. which becomes effective on

Can't Raise Water Rate

In refusing the application of We
Ocean City Water Company for a fiat
increase of 20 per cent in its charges
to individual consumers and 40 per
cent to the municipality for fire serv-
ice the State Public Utility Commits
sion ruled it is not an urgent need, as
was maintained by the company.
"This being an emergency applics-
tion," the decision said, "the board
pursuant to its declared policy in such
cases, will not consider an increase in
rates unless an appraisal of the physi-
cal property of the company is present.
81 to the board or the board itself has
made such an appraisal, at least in the
absence of convincing proof that there
is urgent necessity for allowing such
increases in order to provide service to
the public. Such urgency is not ap-
parent in this case, and there being no
valuation before the board all the ele-
ments which should he considered in
a rate increase are not present on this
application"
Claims of inadequate returns made
by the Salem and PennsgrOve Trac-
tion Company were found by the State
Public Utility Commission to be justi-
fed by facts, and it has accordingly
allowed the company an increase of
from Z to 8 cents in each of its five
fare zones. The system was establish
ed in 1918 and financed with private
capital. The line extends from Penns-
grove about 1414 miles to Salem and
was operated during 1916 and 1917 at
profit on a ; cent fare, but in Feb
ruary. 1920, the Utility Commission
permitted a cent fare. Since the
close of the war activities at Penns-
grove and Carney's Point powder and
munition plants Lave declined and
traffic is very much reduced.

Wife Objects to Fighting.
Shortly after Carpenter was mar
ried It was announced by the
Frenchman that Nine. Carpenter
didn't like the idea of having her
husband knocked around by strange
men and that he would retire from
the ring after meeting Dempsey.
This was considered a very logical
step. since IL was thought that Car
pentier, being in no need of remun-
Grafton from his ring activities. was
merely seeking glory and that he
would win no prestige by losing TO
Dempsey.
Cynics on this side OF the water
wailed-'If he wins. OF course, he
will retire. The title viii be put on

fought for in his day"
Public opinion more than any
thing else forced Carpenter to waive
the objections Of his wife and re-
main fin the ring. according to Des-
camps.

When the announcement of his
retirement was made in France, his
countrymen raised such a chorus of
protest that he was forced 10 re-
tract his statements.
