Half an hour later they caught q

a palace of granite and stone and
cream-colored brick-the home Of the
old coal king. John X. Dale.

Dale drew back

A dozen men ran to look for the
would-be sniper. The Littlefords, still
armed. came dashing across the river.
Ben Littleford threw down his rifle
and knelt beside his daughter; he
wrung his big hands and cursed the
day that had seen him born.
Dale held her close. His face was
as white us hers, and his eyes were
flaming.
why don't you shoot all your WON
%enfolk?' he said to the Littleford
chief, and every word cut like a knife.

young woinan's face, and bathed the

door. A moment later he was shown
in. Yet another moment, and JOhn H..
Dale, his flOrid face beaming with
giadneSs, fastened out to the gateway.
Young Dale was instantly touched by
his fathers new attitude toward him;
David MOreland's people, and he stiff

Writer Who Claims to Know Points
Out Error to Which Lost Per-
sons Are Inclined.

The recent discovery of the skeleton
of a lost child on the summit of the
highest mountain In the Bennachle
group in Aberdeenshire holds no nlys-
terry for an Australian bushman.
The skeleton is supposed to be that
of a two-year-old child lost seven years
ago from a farm two miles away, ana
at the time of the disappearance there
we're apparently a number of theories
put forward for the loss-that the
child had been stolen by gypsies. eaten
alive by pigs or carried away by AN
eagle.
But had a nan experienced in the
behavior of lost children been asked
what was likely to have become OF the
lost infant he would have said,
Search all the highest points within

Back Home.

Every mothers son of the feudists
was numbered In the party that flied
across David Moreland's mountain to
Intercept the next south-bound train.
The old enmity was for the time being
forgotten. Members of one clan
rubbed elbows with members of the
other clan, and thought nothing of il.
John Nareland himself carried one
end of enc crude litter that held the
limp form of Babe Littleford: Bill
Dale carried the other end.
Close behind the litter walked Babes
father. seeming old and broken with
remorse for the thing he had done.
The grief of Ben Littleford was touch
ing now. and Dale was a little sorry
that he had spoken so bitterly to him.
They reached the Halfway switch
ten minutes before the arrival of the
fast mail. A short passenger train
was on the long siding. waiting for the
south bound to pass. Dale gave his
end of the litter to Caleb Moreland,
and strobe up to the locomotive. The
engineer sat quietly smoking in his
cab.
Dale wanted the fast mail stopped,
and gave his easons.
The engineer smoked and consid-
cred. IL vas against rules. Dale
swore at rules. The engineer said he

Only an unlucky man asks you that.
He is either out OF tobacco or he isn't
satisfied with the tobacco he has
picked for himself.
Tosmoke a pipe tobacco that doesn't
suit you to a T is to feel a little irri-
tated every time you light up.
Where you should be taking your
comfort. you feel sore over something
missing.
No one is so patient as a pipe
smoker. He will smoke one kind OF
tobacco that doesn't quite satisfy him
until the cows come home, or until
some trouble crowds him so that he
notices how little comfort he is actual
ly getting from his little old pipe.
But he hasn't been happy-dimly
he has realized it all the time.
And when he asks someone else fora
p;peful and finally comes upon the
smoking tobacco that is just his-oh
Tie, oh my, but he's a happy man!
He now gets out Of his smoking
what Others get-the solid comfort
that takes the sting out Of the alarm

relax at the end of a hard day.
