To the editor:
: r.eLtors has been reed. from hun
dreds of readers asking how did
celebrate my birthday and why wasn't
they something about it in the society
col. Well friends so many folks has
been getting their name in the society
page that didn't belong there that the
papers made up their mind to draw
the line somewheres 50 they past Il
rule to not print nobody'S name that
is still liveing with their first wife
But on acct of the nation wide
interest in the subject to. repay in Il
measure the kindness Of my family
and friends maybe it would not be
out of place for me to publish a report
Of the occasion which will long be
remembered as one of the biggest fias-
COS in the ANIMALS of ~ Y. society.
But first let me take this occasion
to publicly thank my family and
friends for remembering me and
what they done towards giyeing me a
grand good time as we'll as the many
valuable gifts which | ain afraid they
could i'll afford though perhaps they
are better off than a person would
think to look at them.
Well in the first place they was Il
celebration at the home and it was
Sunday and | got up late and come
down to breakfast and they was
chair covered with presents from my
kiddies VINO couldn't hardly wait for
me to open up so as they could see
what they was. Well they was a can
of tobacco and box of stationery
both charged at the drug store and
they was a book that | forget the
name of it, but it's a mystery story
and the mystery is how it got printed
They was also a sweater from the
Mrs. and | may as well explain that
we only been married 10 yrs so she
probably amt hardly had time yet
to find out that all ready got of
them.
Well instead of the regular Sunday
dinner of chicken and ice cream and
cake we also had few candles which
they made the Riddles blow out as
soon as they was lit because you got
to be careful of your candles when
you live in place where the electric
lights goes out every time the paper
says cloudy tomorrow.

Dale finished brokenly. 81 don't ex-
pect forgiveness; my crime was too
great. But can't you, for the sake of
the boy, let me keep on trying to
atone for my SIM"
John Moreland looked long and
searchingly into the face of the plead
ing man before him. The bitter
struggle that was going on within him
was mirrored on his rugged coun-
tenance. But gradually the bitterness
faded; his huge frame trembled; he
put hand slowly down On the others
shoulder.
"The boy" he muttered-"Bill Dale:
is he yore boy? Yore name was Car
lyle then"
"My boy, yes-my boy, Bill Dale.
Carlyle is an old family name. My
father was at the head of a big coal
concern; he sent me down here in
cognito to get a line on the Moreland
vein. Maybe he thought the price
would be high If it we're known that
he wanted it; | don't know. II can't

Ben Littleford's daughter was
watching closely, hoping against hope,
praying to heaven with all her heart;
and then she saw John K. Dale put

hand, take it and press it-and she
saw John Moreland, his bearded
mouth Jerking, give the answering
squeeze that meant something very
akin to forgiveness.
She ran out at the gate, ran up to
the giant hillman and put her arms
around his neck; she drew his great
brown head down and kissed him On
the cheek. And John Moreland let
his rifle fall unnOticed to the snow,
put his arms around her shoulders as
though she were his own daughter,
bowed his head and sobbed out
few words she did not understand.
Night had fallen when they reached
Ben Littleford's cabin home. The girl
was welcomed with much joy; old
Dale was received with almost affec-
tion&te cOrdiality. A roaring fire was
soon going in the best room, and old
Dale was given the cosiest Of the
sheepskin-lined rockers. Ben Little
ford, washed scrupulously clean of
coal smut, sat near the guest of honor
John Moreland, who was so thought

nothing, sat close to Ben Littleford.

He had wondered, he remembered,
why the law made no attempt to track
him down. He had not known that the
mountaineer's code of honor demands
that the mountaineer himself collect
that which Is due him.
"Tell me-" he said in tones so low
that Elizabeth barely heard, where Is
David Moreland buried"
He had turned, and stood facing her.
She pointed to the southward.
"They buried him out the crest O.
the mountain a little ways, on the
highest place, by the side of his
wife. That was always a touchin'
thing to me, that he buried his wife on
the very highest point Of his own
mountain. You know why, don't you?
David Moreland believed in God and
hereafter, and he believed that heaven
was up. He wanted to get even his
wite's ashes as close to heaven as he
could"
I'D like to go out there" John
Dale said, his voice almost a whisper.
I'D like to see the place."
II wouldn't" replied Ben Little
ford's daughter. For she knew-oh,
she knew.
"Yes. yes, my dear-I must see the
place." declared John K. Dale, hoarse-
ly whispering-"let's go out there"
There was never any disobeying him
when he was determined, and he was
determined now. It is strange, that
dread human thing that drew him
Elizabeth turned and started out
the snowy crest Of the mountain, wend-
ing her way here and there between
clumps of snow-heavy laurel and ivy
and under snow-heavy pines. After
quarter Of an hour Of this somewhat
difficult travelling, the two drew up be-
fore a small inclosure made Of round
oaken posts and round open railings
and hand-split and pointed oaken pal
ingS as high as a mans shoulders.
Before them were two snow-cOvered
mounds bOrdered with the dead stalks
of flowers Of another year-marigolds,
pretty-by-nights, Zinnias. Near the
two graves there grew bare-branched

green-leaved laurel, which in the sum-
mer time were covered with beautiful
and fragrant blossoms of golden vel,
low, royal purple, and waxen white. At
the head of one mound a great, rough
ly-shaped slab of brown sandstone
marked the last resting place of David
MOreland's young wife; it had been
lettered by David Moreland himself,
and 1t was a crude but sincere tribute
to wOmankind.
On the face Of the other great slab
Of brown sandstone were chiseled other
ill-shaped letters and misspelled
words. The hands Of John Moreland
had done this. Old John Dale stepped
unsteadily closer and read:

halls of a certain old military
school in the hills of Maryland.
Not many minutes after this call
the sound of footsteps are heard as
the cadets rouse to begin a day OF
enjoyment as we'll as for the edu.
cation that will benefit them in
after life.
Soon after the formation at

and the flag OF the school are
raised to the breezes. Then mess
call. the call that is cherished by
every boy at a military school.
The boys enter the mess hall
where they eat of foods that build
them into red-blooded men,
Leaving the mess hall the sound
of call-to-quarters greets them.
They then go to their rooms where
they begin to clean themselves for
inspection. and as soon as the Of
ficer-of-day inspects they are free
for an hour or so.
Then a dash to the athletic field
where they engage in various
games. The larger boys play foot
ball in the fall, basketball in the
winter and last but least the great
old American game. baseball. The
smaller boys play touch football. a
game that instead of tackling the
runner they merely touch him. In
winter the smaller boys also play
basketball. Spring Is welcome when
the cry of the horsehide dins tho
air for all. large or small. old or
young.
While the games are underway
school call is sounded and the boys
march to the study hall where they
begin their day of study.
After an hour or so drill is
started and continues for an hour.
As soon as recall from school Is
head the varsity dashes upon the
gridiron for an afternoon of work,
while the student body stands by
and cheers the varsity on.
After an hour of study the tired
but happy American military school
boy gets ready to retire. As soon
