FINE ADDRESSES #
. MARKED CLOSE
OFCHAUTAU0UA

The Radcliffe Cnantau1ua closed n
threa- days engagement in Lakeland
with Thursday nights meeting, when
was attended hy very TtpprecialiSe
audience
Dr.. W. Il. s. Culp, of Cleveland.
Ohio. was heard both afternoon and
evening and his simple. warm-hearted
manner charmed his audiences, as he
spoke to them of the value of sery-
ice. Your life,' said Dir. Culp, is
worth only as much as you pour into
the lives of 9th rs. and this was the
Keynote Of both addresses. His after
noon address had to do with service
to the community. and the evening
lecture took UP the problems that now
confront America in the relationship
Of capital to labor. and set forth that
unselliSh service to humanity IS the
solution OF our present day ills.
Miss Ethel Shepard II charming
Florid;, girl won her audience with
her sweet voice and the subtle charm
Of her attractive personality.
The "Amerirans All" detachment
from the r. cruit educational center at
Camp Dix. made a big hit as they
went through their military drills
with machlne-llke precision, related
their life stories and sang some catchy
army songs. These young men were
all either illiterate Americans or for
eign-born boys few months ago. and
the fact that they can now read and
white the English language. thanks toI
the attention of Uncle San, filled them
all with gratitude and their patriotic
spirit found ready response in the
hearts OF their hearers.
At the invitation of Carl Eichelber-
ger, the director, many Of those in
the audience rose to express their adj
miration for Chautauqua work in gen.
eral and without fail all the speakers
spoke glowingly of the session just
closed. and Il number expressed their

When the noises of the little train and the fast mall 1t had just met had died away, there came the saucy chat tering of boomer-squirrels and the sweet twlttering of birds. Dale caught the joyous spirit tIe could have fairly shouted our the fullness of his very human heart Here all was unspoiled and unprofaned, and some thing whispered within him.
 They won't call you savage here-make this your own country
 From somewhere on nearby mountainside a rifles keen report split the air; bullet whined like mad hornet; Dale's hat jumped a little on his head.
 The awakening was exceedingly rude. Dale wheeled. his gray eyes ablaze. and saw only 6 tiny cloud Of smoke-mlst rising from the laureIs more than fifty feet away.
 "Come out you coward lr he roared. Come out and let me see you curl osity taking the place of anger in his voice. I've always wanted to know just what real highwayman was likei"
 The mufiied sound of a twig break Ing a short distance of to his left next claimed his attention. He was being closely watched by a pair of the fin- est. clearest brown eyes he had ever seen. He saw her eyes first: he never forgot that.
 She was standing on q low eliff be- yond the sparkling creek that flowed beside the railroad. and she was par uaiiy hidden by a ciunp ct bsocming laurel But Dale could see that she was about twenty; that every line of ner rounded, graceful figure whis- pereo of 6 doelike strength: that she was as straight as q young pine: that her chestnut-hrown hair caught the sunlight and thar her face was oval. shaped and handsome-rnther than 'rsttz-in spite q is tan.

 Tf I behave myself-w Dale laughed. "why. couldn't he naughty if | tried Tin the one and only maff- mas little wnlie-boy wonder if l could put up at some house near here; eh?"
 "The might be-" she said, thought fully.
 "where?"
 "At pap's. or grandpap's, or with most any O my people; or. she added with contemptuous twist to her lips, you might stay with some Q them low.down Moreands."
 "Where do your people live?'
 "Ahout six mile back that way" She pointed over her shoulder with a forefnger
 Would you mind showing me the way to your parental domicileT
 "What's that, fo' goodness saker
 Your home, you know" Dale ex- plained with a smile,
 "Oh, my home. Why didn't ye say SO, then? No. won't" she declared.
 Dale put his bag down and rested his hands on his hips.
 "Why may I inquire?"
 "'Cause won't I don't never keep comp'ny with no strange men folks. But wander comes By, and hell show ye the way; he's a-goin' over to The settlement"
 Dale faced to the right and saw, komlng toward him with steps that would have measured almost four feet, the tallest and lanklest individ- ual he had ever seen outside a circus. The newcomer had a smoothly shaven chin, his coal-back hair was long anu his long mustache completely hid the narrow slit that was his mouth. In one hand he carried a repeating rifle.
 "Whos that7" Dale half whispered.
 That's By Heck" answered the girl. She continued In low voice, His names Sam Heck; but pap, he called him By Heck one day, and the nickname stuck to him like molasses. Everybody calls him that now. even the revenuers. By, he's the biggest eater, and the biggest llar in the worldl But his lyin' don't never do no harm, and nobody keers. So eff ye want to go to the settlement, mister, By, he'll take ye over. They mebbe ain't got what you're used to fo' eatin', but ye'll be welcome to what the is."
 She laughed a little, turned, and disappeared among the blooming lau- rels.

CHAPTER l.
David MoreIanas Mountain.

Carlyle WilburtOn Dale--known to
 Himself and few close friends as Bln
 Dale--had laid out a course of action
 almost before the northbound train
 had left the outskirts of the state cap
 iEAl behind. It Incurred facing big
 odds; but other men had faced big
 odds and won out and what others Bad done he could do. Indeed. he had zfready done several things which
 ether men might not have thought of
 Going, and one of them was leaving q bride, not hgurntively but literally. at fhe altar in fashionable church But he knew Patricia hadn't wanted to marry him any more than he had wanted to marry her.
 It was only natural for him to think of coal, now that he had cut loose for all time from the sete in which he had always been a colossal raisft now that he must pull his own oars or vir- tualiy perish. He had heard coal talked since the day of his birth. to him coal and business meant exactly rle same.
 One of his fathers associates had often spoken of a fine vein in the mountains of eastern Tennessee-had often tried to persuade his father to look into It, to no avail, Young Dale re- membered that this vein ley not far 6om long railroad siding called the Halfway Switch in the vicinity of Big Fine mountain. The owners were folk of English descent. his hfher's associate had said. Decidedly tzange, thought Dale. that his father ad never cared to investigate it.
 The cindery little train reached the 'ng siding about the middle of fine ,ring morning. Dale took up his bag. zEtened out and soon found himself ] en1inx alone in lhe heart of nn ex- ! nmely wild section Of ccuutry.
