Dale. The four hastened to the homes
of the other MOrelands and not long
afterward the old clan, in full
strength, rode toward the big, dim
blue hills with Bill Dale acting as its
leader. 1t was to be the clans last
fight, and a fight for a good cause,
and every man Of it was eager for
the fray.
Bill Dale bore himself proudly, and
he rode like man born to the sad
die. He found a queer jOy-a joy
that frightened his Steel-grey eyes
and flushed his Sunburned cheeks, d
Joy that he didn't even attempt TO
understand-in the thought:
For this one day / am clan chief ;
l am leading my own people against
Il foe, in my own country"
And so overwhelmingly did the idea
take hold of him that he wished, even
then, for the repeater that awaited
him at his office back in the heart OF
the mountains. Once his conscience
asked him a QuestiOn-and he an
swered it with another question. Was
he doing that which was right? Might
not the Littlefords all be killed by
those drunken cutthroats while he
was waiting for the arrival of COM
pany of militia from a city miles dis

Anyway, the militia would fight His
clan would do no more than that. He
satisfied his conscience quickly.
When they had reached the lower
end of the cleared valley, there came
to them the sounds Of slow firing, the
firing of snipers. Each man kicked
his horses fianks and rode faster.
When they came in sight of the be-
Seged building, they saw puffs of pow
der-smoke rising lazily from the upper
windows and from the mountain side
above and to the right. Again they
kicked the fianks of their horses and
rode faster.
At John Moreland's old cabin they
dismounted hastily and turned their
horses into the drab meadow. With
Dale still leading, they hurried on foot
to the rivers nearest bank and went
rapidly. under cover Of the thickly.

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Last Fight.

IL was early in the morning, and
Bill Dale had just sent for Ben Little
ford. The hillman hurried to the Of
fee, for he believed he knew what
was in the air. He had already gone
to work at the mine, and his thick
beard, his face and his hands were
black with the dust Of coal.
"Sit down, Ben" said the general
manager. Were going to hold a
council of war"
Littleford took a chair and crossed
his legs.
''Is it the Ball outfit?" he drawled.
YES" answered the younger man,
and forthwith he told the other of the
news that By Heck had brought him
a few days before; he had not given
the matter really serious considera-
ton until that morning. "Now," he
finished, 81 want to know whether you
think there's any danger"
Littleford tugged at his bIackened
beard and frowned.
BILL" he said soberIy, do you
rickOllect what John MOreland told
you oncet about them Balls? He told
ye AT you wasn't safe, and AT he
wasn't safe, ontel they was dead and
buried, didn't he? l believe he did.

and they don't think the law handed
'em a square deal at the trial."
"Then listen to this plan." said
Dale.
"rIl keep By Heck up the river
watching for them. He will have
three sticks of dynamite tied together
and capped and fitted with a fuse. If
he sees them coming this way in any,
thing like a force, he will fire off the
dynamite as a signal to US. Our men
will gather here in the upstairs of this
building, and bar the doors"
"Oh, Bill" moaned the old fighter,

'em git to the doorsl"

smiled Dale. "Where are your rifles.

Dale went on: "At By Heck's sig
nal, I'll get on my horse and ride to
the lowlands for the Morelands. l can
get them lot quicker than | can get
competent help from the law. What
do you think Of itf"

growled Ben Littleford, "only | don't

any man wo'th a durn, BILL"
"But that wouldn't be cowardly." "
Dale protested. 1T would be purely
a strategic move, and It would save
lives for us. For, when the Balls and
their kinsmen come, you'll have to de-
liver me into their hands or you'll
have to fight like the very devil, that's
sure; and, according to By Heck's fig
ureS, they outnumber you more than
two to one."
"All right" Littleford replied. with
shrug of his huge shoulders. what
ever you say, that same we'll do"
So By Heck was sent for, and short
ly afterward he sneaked into the lau-
rels and went off toward the settle
ment of the Balls. In the crook Of his
arm he carried his rifle, and inside his
shirt he carried three pieces of dyna-
mite all ready for the match-and he
chose every step with great care for
fear Of jarring the explosive too much.
He had not been gone an hour when
Bill Dale heard dull, smOthered roar
from somewhere to the northward.
Dale sprang up from his desk, ran to
his ready and waiting horse, mounted
and rode like a streak toward the
lOwland.
Dale arrived at John Moreland's big
white farmhouse a little before the
middle of the day. and halloed Justify

JURY SERVICE AN OBLIGATION, NOT
 RIGHT.

We often hear people speak of the right to serve jures. This is misnomer There is no such right" Jury service is obligation, not q privilege, The right is that of litigants and those charged with crime have jury trials. The obisa- tion ofsthe people is to grant that nght, ana III granting that right duty is charged upon certain classes of the people Jury duty therefore is in the same class as military service The obligation to serve on juries, like that to in the Army and Navy, is not charged against all Most of the States place an age limit beyond which men cannot be forced jurors, and men engaged in certain pursuits who serving the public in other manner cannot be compeeld to serve on juries These men usually regarded possessing priv ileges because they are charged with the obliga tion to perform this particular duty to society.
 We frequently hear this falacy of the right to serve the jury in connection with women Now and again it is contended that women are dscrminaed against in those States which do not provides for women jurors The fact is just the reverse The States which have not provided for women juries have simply refused to charge women with the performance of that particular service
 Women are privileged in many ways well as in freedom from the obligation to serve on juries. We do not require military service of women, for in stance do require them to perform many services which may be commandeered in emergencies
 The question, therefore, is not whether arc going to confer the right to serve on juries to but whether not are going to require that obligation of them.
 Usually, among men, those who regard jury service as a right" are men that are not looked upon the best jurors In fact of the evils that bese the processes of the in the country is the man who would be a professional juror. The desirable jurors, usually. those who do not banker after the job

Gain in Living Standards.
(NeW York Post. ]


 One solid bit of consolation is available in the present hard times Economic strain is now vindicat- ing the great mass of the American people from the charge of riotous extravaganza during flush times. We have commented before this upon the facts of the present unemployment situation destructive. of the famous silk-shirt legend. No doubt a number of reasons will account for the circumstance that wide unemployment is accompanied by comparatively little distress The mild winter has helped But the chief factor, without question, has simply been the accumulated savings of three four years of pros perity. On the whole a small portion of high wages went into silk shirts and cheap jewery The greater part the savings banks, insurance companies, or other investments, The habit of thrift inculcated by Government finance during the war persisted after the armistce That is why, in fac tory towns like Paterson and Passaic, workers who for months have been out of job have managed to keep going.
 similar vindication is hand for the farmer Mr. Ray Stannard Baker, in the first of his his series of articles in the Evening Post dealing with the present crisis in the cotton fields of the South. admits that there good deal of lavish expenditure during the flush years; but he insists that this the real story. Everywhere MT Baker found that the profits of the fat years went into new homes, barns, roofs, paint, bet ter roads, new schoolhouses, churches, new and better farm machinery" There notable rise in the standard of home life-"plumbing, proper light ing washing machines, better furniture musical in struments.' IL was by means all orgy
 If the farmer is at the present moment hard put to it to keep things going, it is nevertheless strug gle to keep things going a higher level He is mourning debt but it is debt better home bet ter barn. and for better schools. We can trust to human nature that in spite of temporary enbarrass ment there will be no general decline to pre-wal conditions. In this higher standard, indeed, may find added incentive that increase of activity which is being ncucated in the farmer and the laborer.
 These are real gains Coupled with what we may call the moral gain, namely the increased habit oi oresightedness and thrift, they offer fair measure 1i consolation in the present time of discontent
