CHAPTER X

The Barbarian, Princess Goes Home.
 Miss Elizabeth Littleford beheld an interesting sight when she alighted from a northbound afternoon train at the Halfway switch. Just below the long siding a shorter siding had been put in-the railway company had been hastened no doubt, by the great in- fluenee of old Newton Wheatley-and from it had been unloaded a small geared locomotive, dozen or so of little coal ears opening at the bottom, and miles of light steel rails with kegs of spikes for them.
 Out toward her home a crew of men worked like bees at the building of q trestle of round timbers that had been cut from the nearby woods; she at once recognized these men as More lands and Littlefords, and she knew it meant peace! They didn't recognize her. because of the distance and the clothing she wore, and because they were too busy to pay any particular attention to her.
 Farther out toward Doe river an other crew of men was at work clear ing the way for the little narrow gauge. She heard the sounds of the ax and the saw, the hammer and the steel. and once there came to her ears the great dull roar of exploding dyna- mite as q cliff was blown clear of it's foundations.
 Miss Elizabeth Littleford smiled happily. And she had not been happy for long time. Patricia McLaurin, with whom she ha dbeen staying, had been kindness itself, but the mother of Bill Dale, her Bill Dale, had snnbbed her-and besides the longing for the old home hills was riotous in her blood. So she had come back, run away at less than a moments notice as had Bill Dale before her, and how good it seemed to be at home! She would have gone to see the men, had f. not been that she feared she would be a bother.
 There was another interesting sight when she had reached the crest of David Morelands mountain. In the ,,nner end of the broad valley, mid ,yav between the settlement" and the onening of the Moreland coal vein, two large buildings were well along ln thelr course of construction.

BABE COMES BACK.

Dale, arrives Ut the Halfway Switch. in eastern Tennessee, abandoning life of idle ease-and incidentally a bride, Patricia Claw ering, at the altar-determined to make his own way in life He meets "Babe" Lttleford, typical mountaineer girl. By" Heck, a character of the hills, takes him to John Moreland's home. Moreland is chief of his "clan," which has an old feud with the Littlefords He tells Dale of the killing of his brother, David Moreland, years ago, owner of rich coal deposits, by a man named Carlyle Dale believes the man was his father. Dale makes his home with the Morelands. Talking with Babe, Dale is ordered by "Black Adam" Ball to leave "his girl'' alone Dale whips the bully.

per at crucial moment! He wondered whether it was yet too late, and turned his eyes toward his silent com panion. He saw that John Moreland was looking toward the beacon star
 The voice of Ben Littleford came to them plainly because the night was so very still; he was reading from the Gospel according to Saint Mark, preparatory to his bedtime prayer. The two at the gate listened intently. The way In which the illiterate giant stumbled over the simplest words was pitiful.
 The hillman closed the Good Book and placed it on the table beside him. There was the low shuffllng of feet as half dozen persons knelt at their chairs. The prayer which followed was much like John Moreland's own bedtime prayer; it had in it less of supplication than of thanksgiving.
 And in the tail of it there were words that were like bullets to the mountaineer at the gate
 Bless the good man who is with us here tonight and all O our kin folks, and all O our friends, and all O our inemies-and specially the Morelands. Aymen :"
 Dale's hand came down hard on John Moreland's shoulder.
 You told me he wouldn't do '"
 The old clan leader hung his head, like man suddenly broken. He re- piled not word; he seemed amazed wrong in his estimate of Ben Little ford he had lied about a man who had just asked the good Almighty to bless him. John Moreland ehoked little and started toward the cabin. He walked as though half blind across the porch and entered without knock ing, and went in to Ben Littleford with his right hand outstretched.
 Les begin anew" he said huskiiy. Les be friends, yore people and my people, you and me '"
 LIttleford arose and groped for his old-time enemy's hand, found it and grasped it in both his own.
 You're better an l am, John More land," he said-"youre d-d sight better an I am."
 When Dale left them, they were talking over great bear-hunt that they had taken together a score of years before.
 The moon, full and as bright as new gold, had risen just under the beacon star when Bill Dale reached the door step of the cabin that was home to him. He faced about. The broad green valley lay very serene and very beautiful. there in the mellow light. There was no sound save for the gen. tie murmuring of the crystal river.

One autumn little George entered the same Kindergarten that his brother Henry had attended during tho pre- vious year. Very frequently the teach- CT called him Henry by mistake, until she became provoked at herself and said to him:

yet very thorough. He went to his Feet. John Moreland, too, arose.
 We'd as we'll go, hadn't we?' Dale clipped, and there was disgust in his Voice.
 T reckon we had" agreed More land.
 They walked out of the cabin, leav- Ing Major Bradley and Ben Littleford gazing silently after them. At the gate Dale caught John Moreland's Sleeve and halted him.
 Why on earth he demanded, didn't you make the break?'

Came silence that was heavy. Eacb was depending upon the other to make the advance. The two elansmen stared at each other more and more sharply, and soon shadows of bitter ness began to creep into their eyes.
 Then Major Bradley, guest of Ben Littleford, strode into the room with patriciah and soldierly air, and he understood the situation perfectly
 Gentlemen" he urged, shake hands. Be friends"
 They didn't. Neither seemed to have heard the major. It angered Bill Dale. His knowledge of these feud- ists, these grown-up children, was not

 How can women who are weak and sickly expect or hope to become mothers of healthy children? Their first duty is to themselves. They should overcome the derangement or debility that is dragging them down, and strengthen the entire system, as did Mrs. Jansen, by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound and then they will be in position to give their children the blessing of good constitution.

 She bent toward him and asked pointedly
 Bill Dale, what makes you so anx- ious fo' me to go?"
 Because" readily, q want you to have an education"
 What makes you want me to have education, Bill Dale?"
 Because you'd be such splendid woman, if you had an education"
 Babe Littleford pursued with child- like eagerness: And what makes you want me to be such a s-splendid woman?'
 Dale lifted hs gray eyes and an- swered her frankly:
 Because I expect to marry you some day"
 Babe Littleford blushed deeply. Her eyes were glad, filled with rejoicing. If he didn't love her now, at least just a weeny-teeny bit, he wouldn't be thinking of marrying her some day, certainly, and this conclusion made her happier than she had ever been in all her life before. She wished wildly that she could hug him with all her might-and she had a big notion to do it. But what would he think of her?
 Well, there would come a day when she would surely hug him with all her might. She would simply break his blessed bones, almost.
 "Will you go to Patricia tomorrowY he asked.

 "See that little, teeny flower over tEere-that little, teeny blue one2" she asked, pointing. That's day flower. It's the purest blue of any.

That's called Jobs tears, and they don't last but one day, neither. That little red, spidery thing is bee balm. Over wander at the hich'ry is monkshood.

 Said Dale, "Will you go back to Patricia tomorrow?"
 'T-Tve been a-wonderin'," mur- mured Babe. (Which is proper, Bill, bust or burst?7
 Dale spoke quickly. Burst for you, bust for me. Will you go back to Patricia?"
 Beaten, Babe Littleford drew long breath and smiled
 Yes, Mister Dale," she answered resignedly. T will. I'll go whar- where you want me to go, eff it's to Torment. Now tell me how it comes that I find my people and their inc mics as thick as m'lasses in a jug, while we walk on."
 When Dale returned to John More lands cabin from having seen Babe Littleford safely to her fathers door, he found Major Bradley and By Heck waiting at the gate. Heck had some important, bad news, he said.
 Better not tell me about it until after supper,' replied Dale. "rm as hungry as you ever were, By"
 They went in to sit down to one of the best meals Addie Moreland had ever prepared. When they had fin ished eating, John Moreland led the way into the best room, where they took chairs. The major produced cigars. By Heck, swollen with q feel ing of greatness, lighted the wrong end of his weed, faced Dale, and be- gan to unburden his mind of it's weight of information.
 Well, Bill, old boy" he began-and then stopped to wonder why his cigar wouldn't smoke as we'll as the majors. Well Bill, old boy" he went on, final ly.

COUNTRY

For the life of us we can not under
stand the hostility on the part OF so
many of our newspapers against the
Mother Country.
The Great World War was not
brought on by Great Britain and she
went to the rescue of France and her
allies with the same patriotic motives
that actuated the United States.
In the conference now in session in
washington for the limitation of ar
ments she is standing right beside the
United States in her drastic and pa
triotic proposals.
France dissents and asks for big
ger army and navy, Japan does like
wise, and Italy says if France is per-
mitted to have a bigger army so must
she.
And yet we censure England
1t seems to be the decree of destiny
that the English speaking nations
must preserve the civilization of the
world and to do so, we must stand
together.
Around this peace table England
is holding up the hands of the United
States as Aaron held up the hands of
Moses.

unfriendly criticism.
