CHAPTER VI.
Back Home.

Every mothers son of the feudists was numbered in the party that filed 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

l through her hair, and she crumpIed al Bill Dale's knees, totally unconscious Dale gave hoarse cry and gathered her limp figure into his arms. John Moreland waved aloft the white hand kerchief and believed to his kinsmen to stop firing. Then silence came.
 Come over here, Ben Littleford 70 shouted John Moreland. We've shot yore own gyrul!"
 And to his brother Abner whose right forearm was wrapped i'll blood stained blue bandana:
 Black Adam is hid som'eres in this meadow; go and ketch him, and don't take no chanst with him. Shoot him like a dawg eff he tries to trick vel"
 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 ana 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- enfolkE he said to the Littleford chief, and every word cut like knife. It's by far the simplest way; it's mer- clful, y'know. See, she isn't breaking her heart over your murderous fight ing now. No, keep your hands away you're not fit to touch herr"

 It seemed q long time before Brae- mer came to them and told them smil- ingly that it was all over and that the girl was then coming from under the effects of the ether. She would be all right soon, he was reasonably certain No, they'd better not see her just then But perhaps they could see her al some time during the afternoon of the following day.
 Dale escorted his two companions to a modest hotel and then put then in q room that had but one bed; by thus throwing them together in q strange land, he hoped to do some. thing toward making them friends Then Dale went to another room, un- dressed and went to bed
 It may be noted, parenthetically as it were, that John Moreland and Ben Littleford quickly reached a wordless agreement not to sleep together-they divided the pillows and linens evenly tore the odd cOverlet exactly in half and slept on the floor.
 When Dale went down to the lobby the following morning an alert-eyed young fellow sprang from a chair and hastened up to him.
 By George, Bobby!" Dale ex- claimed, as they began to shake hands. How did you know l was here, any way? Your boasted nose for news, eh?"

II got word last night that a mountain girl had been brought to Braemers, acci- dentally shot, and 1 smelled a feud so l hurried over to get the story You had just left, and Braemer's didn't know much about it. It was too soon after the operation, they said for her to see me; then one of the nurses whispered to me that you had brought her. and said that 1 would find you here. So here l am, Bill, and 1 want the story. Pll phone it in, and then I'll give you some news"
 ''The story mustn't he published, Bobby Dale replied. For one req son, there is g feud; and if the law knew, it might take hand-you see, l think there is q better way to take care of that feud. And 1 am of the opinion that the girl wouldn't like the publicity. Suppose you forget all about it, Bobby

NOISE BROWNS BAND MUSIC
Bandmen and Audience Annoyed By
Older CHILDREN Playing

Bandmen and Audience Annoyed By
Older Children playing
Friday night the Abilene band
gave It's usual pleasing concert IN
the library park. There was large
audience and the benches which
are placed around the bandstand
were flied.
Much complaint has been made,
however, about the noise and dis
turbance caused by older children
playing around the benches and the
bandstand, calling to one another
and yelling with no regard for sthose
who are there to hear the music.
The confusion not only disturbs the
listeners but the musicians in the
band while they are playing Small
children playing about and who are
there under the care Of their par
ents are not responsible for the
racket, according to one Of the play
crs but the older children who are
there with no one to look after theEs
or are allowed to run and hollow at
will.
The musicians in the band say
there Is more disorder than usual
this year and It is such as to- make
their concert almost waste OF time
because Il cannot be heard. There
are many people. who stay away be-
cause of the annoyance, and some
action will be taken to prevent II
hereafter.
