McLaurin smiled a somewhat wor-
ried smile, and went up to the front
door. A moment later he was shown
IN. Yet another moment, and John *.
Dale, his f1orid face beaning with
gladness, FASTENED out to the gateway.
Young Dale was instantly touched by
his fathers new attitude toward him
then he remembered the long night OF
David Morelands people, and he stiff
fened a little and drew back pace.
you've come home to stay, haven't
you, Carlyle?" said the older man, and
his voice was filled with pleading.
what you did is all right; we'll never
mention it again. You'll stay. won't
you, Carlyle, my boy?"
NO" answered the son, a trifie cold
ly in spite of himself. i've spent all
the idle, useless years I'll ever spend.

david MoreIand's -mountain !"
The retired coal magnate hreathed
the three words in a husky tone. He
put forth hand and rested it against
one of the huge stone gateposts, as
though to steady himself, and some Of
the color went from his face.
You say David Moreland's noun
tain, Carlyle?" jerkily.
Yes
And you-you learned about David
Moreland?"
Yes" Bill Dale folded his arms
and stood there looking at his father
with eyes that accused.
You know who. killed him?" old
Dale muttered.

shame"
"Yes, it was a shame. Nobody knows
that half so we'll as l know it," said
John K. Dale His mouth Quivered.
He looked downward, looked up again.
"Son, you can never say or think worse
things about me than have said and
thought about myself-Decause Of
MAat."
Dale the younger glanced toward
the house. Robert McLaurin was COM
ing slowly down the veranda steps.
Mrs. Dale was nowhere In sight. She
didn't want to see her son she didn't
even want him in the house. Bill Dale
read it all in his friends downcast
countenance, and it was somehow a
great disappointment.
You'll need money if you're going
to develop that coal property" Dale
the elder was saying. you haven't
any money, and those mountain folk
haven't any. III give you all that's
needed. I'll send you mining machin-

"For Patricia's sake, I've a thunder
ing big notion to take you up" laughed
McLaurin. your dad would never
miss it,"
'"Ehat's it-take me up for Pats
sake" said Dale, rising. You'd be
foolish if you didn't. You should be
willing to do anything, almost, for Pat
She's a jewel, Bobby"
Half an hour later they caught q
passing car that soon carried them to
a palace of granite and stone and
cream-colored brick-the home of the
old coal king, John K. Dale.
At the wide front gateway young
Dale drew back.
Bring father out here" he said in
q low voice. From what you told me-
guess mother wouldn't want me to
come in. But you can find out about
that"
He hoped his mother would want to
see him. While she had never seemed
TO care for him as other mothers cared
for their boys; while she hadn't been
quite so dear to him as she might have

CHAPTER vi.
Back Home.

Every mothers son of the feudists
was numbered in the party that filed
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 it.
John Moreland himself carried one
end of the 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 reasons.
The engineer smoked and consid-
cred. 1t was against rules. Dale
swore at rules. The engineer said he
would see the conductor. He did, and
the conductor stepped to the ground
and began TO consider.
Better put her on my train," he
said finally, land take her to Barton's
station. There's good doctor at Bar
TOMS"
s'But this is case for a surgeon !"
impatiently interrupted Bill Dale.
They disagreed. The old trainman
was a close friend of the doctor at
Barton's station. What was the diff
ference between doctor and a sur
geon, anyway?
Dale became angry

The recent discovery Of the skeleton
Of lost child on the summit of the
highest mountain in the Bennachie
group in Aberdeenshire holds no mys-
terry for an Australian bushman.
The skeleton is supposed to be that
of a two-year-old child lost seven years
ago fr5m farm two miles away, and
at the time of the disappearance there
were 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 man 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
a few miles. and on one OF them, I'M
less he has persisted on the way. you
will find the lost child"
In countries like Australia, where
there are still vast tracts of partially
settled country, the danger of getting
bushed," as it is called, is still real
one.
1t is not always children who get
flushed" either But, adult or child,
unless the lost person has bush expert
ence, he seems to lose his head at
once and begins to walk and walk.
If the country is fiat, the lost per-
son walks in a circle; if it is noun
famous, he mounts and mounts as
high as he can get. He seems to get
demented as he grows more exhausted
and the realization of his probable
fate becomes more clear. An hour or
two before he succumbs he gets rid
Of his clothes. The majority of lost
people are found naked.
1t may happen that somebody who
reads this article may one day be lost.
Here, then is a piece of advice from
one with right to give 1t.
Directly you realize that you are
lost sit down until the first panic has
departed. Remember thar your first
consideration is to reserve your
strength.
You will be tempted to go up hill,
to see, to get into freer spaces. Don't
do this. Go down hill. All rivers flow
downward you will find water in the
valleys. Most settlements are in the
valleys. And going down hill eats up
less strength than climbing up hill

MINISTER DISCUSSES
HIS WIFE'S TROUBLES

Rev. A. III. Sykes, former pastor Of

Mrs. Mouflon.

you look at me. Some creatures may
care to look at sunset or at a pretty
river, OF at beautiful flower garden,
but perhaps they haven't any mouf-
Ions around to look at"
Perhaps not" said Mrs. Moufon.
"And when they haven't" said Mr..
Mouflon, "of course they can't admire
them.'
"They can't very well, it is true, ;"
said Mrs. Mouflon.
Il can excuse such people," said Mr..
Moullon, because they can't very well
admire me when I'm not around to adj

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 as hers, and his eyes were
flaming.
"Why don't you shoot all your wom-
enfolk?" he said to the Littleford
chief, and every word cut like knife.
Its by far the simplest way; it's mer-
ciful, y'know. See, she isn't breaking
her heart over your murderous fight

They brought water and wet the
young woman's face, and bathed the
red streak across her temples. They
did all they knew how to do to bring
her back to consciousness, but, except
for her beating pulse and her breath
ing, she remained as one dead. Hours
passed, leaden hours, and her condi-
ton was unchanged.
Dale beckoned to John Moreland,
who had just returned from having
seen Adam Ball caught, disarmed, and
imprisoned in an old tobacco barn.
Moreland FASTENED to Dale, the new
master.
when does the next south-bound
train pass the Halfway switch?'' Dale
wanted to know.
Moreland looked toward the sun.
"We could make it, all right, but it's
fast train, and it don't never stop at
the switch"
"Then Wen hold it up" declared the
new master in a voice of iron. This

whispered to me that you had brought
her, and said thatI would find you here.
SO here / am, Bill, and want the
story. I'll phone it in, and then I'll
give you some news"
''The story mustn't be. published,
Bobby" Dale replied. For one Tea-
son, there is a feud; and if the law
knew, it might take hand-you see,
l think there Is a better way to take
care of that feud. And i am of the
opinion that the girl wouldn't like the
publicity. Suppose you forget all
about it, Bobby.

kept it well to himself.

won't be long in paying for the furni-

having dinner with us this evening.
You'll find it pleasant. We do as we
please, you see. If you like, you may
stir your coffee with your finger, eat
with your knife, reach clean across the
table, and pick your teeth with your

and you may have your dessert first.
You can have an extra chair for your
feet, and you can go to sleep at the
table. Don't fail us. Pat wants to
thank you for casting her aside at

Dale laughed boyishly. McLaurin
went on:
There's more news. Your father
has been trying hard to find you. He
sent man TO Atlanta to look for you.
He told me he'd give me house and

little more of the highway robber in

McLaurin frowned sSince you've

would never forgive you for the ut

and went on, las soon as can get my

Synopsis.-Young Carlyle Wilbur

by" Heck, a character of the
hills, takes him to John More
lands home. Moreland is chief OF
his "clan," which has an old feud
with the Littlefords. He tells Dale
of the killing of his borther, David
Moreland, years ago, owner OF rich
coal deposits, by man named
Carlyle. Moreland's description OF

the man was his father. Dale ar
ranges to make his home with the
Moreland family. Talking with
Babe" Littleford next day, Dale
is ordered by "Black Adam" Ball
bully of the district, to leave his
girl" alone. Dale replies spiritedly,
and they fight. Dale whips the
bully, though badly used up. He
arranges with John Moreland to
develop David's coal deposits. Ben
Littleford sends challenge to John
Moreland to meet him with his fol-
lowers next day, in battle. More
land agrees. During the night all
the guns belonging to the Little
fords and the Morelands mysteri-
ously disappear. Dale arranges to
go to Cincinnati to secure money
for the mining of the coal. The
two clans find their weapons, which
the women had hidden, and line up
for battle. A Littleford fires the
first shot.
