LINOTYPE SCHOOLS


pleted the installation OF a new
linotype machine, to be used al
most exclusively Tor the conVen-
fence of its advertisers, 1t saves
much composition by hand, does
the work quicker, and permits al
elaboration and display OF the
advertisements that otherwise
would be impossible. The IN
creasing patronage OF the
Gazettes advertising columns
has rendered this imperative.
The advertisements III the paper
now vie in skill and beauty OF
makeup with any metropolitan
daily in the country. This Is
also due to the expert copy
writing OF the Gazettes special
lists. who re-write and arrange
geographically nearly all the adj
vertising copy that comes in.
Type setting machines are
among the most ingenious lnven-
tons OF man. They are so COM
plete and 50 perfect i'll me-
cllanism that they seem to possess
almost human intelligence. The
type metal goes into an cleo
trically-heated pot, is melted and
flows into type-molds. is spaced
and arranged in lines fitting
newspaper column. and comes
forth punctuated, Photographed
and ready for the press. The
keyboard is operated by the most
delicate and skilful fingers:
these, in turn, are. guided i'll their
deft manipulation by a human
brain that presides over all. and
which often correctS bad spelling
and worse grammar!
1t requires no mean order OF
intelligence to operate d linotype
machine, and a lengthy appre1:-
ticeship is usually required. The
Company owning the patents It
self operates and maintains tour
free schools OF instruction III the
United States. Besides which
some thirty-five states, at their
various educational institutions,
give courses in linotyping.
Nearly $4,000 linotypeS are III
use all over the world. The de-
nand for skilled operators IS
greater than the supply. We
know OF no more useful invention
in the last fifty years. 1t spreads
the printed page among additional
millions daily, and thus adds to
the sum total OF human knowl-
edge. More than this. many OF
our disabled soldiers, sailors and
marines are learning to earn
good livelihood. large numbers
of the unfortunate deaf and
dumb are enabled to support
themselves, and thousands OF am
bilious young men and women
are finding their place i'll one OF
the. most important OF the worlds
industries.
Six OF the machines are in
operation at the Vatican, 1T
Rome: thirteen battleshipS OF the
l. 5. Navy have them on board;
and more than forty countries
ne installed them in their gov
nment printing offices.
In short, the linotype, as al in

CHAPTER xl
BY Heck Keeps a Secret.


When Sheriff Tom Flowers and the
Elizabeth Littleford sat up in the ST.
lence. 1t was a great and heavy silence
that lowered there over the north eLi
of David Moreland's mountain. There
was not even the drumming of a yell
lowhammer, not even the saucy chat
the twittering of bird. Not leaf
stirred anywhere. Everything seemed
lifeless. II was almost as though she
were the sole inhabitant of the world.
Then she thought. 1t was noontlme,
and the officer and his prisoner would
cabin for the MONDAY meal; and II
she FASTENED she would get to see Bill
Dale again.
So she ran like n doe through the
green woodland, through the tangle of
laurel and ivy and over the moss
David Moreland's mountain. She was
barefooted, and her dress was a sim
pie garment OF white-dotted blue
calico, and her long brown hair flowed
behind her like the hair of young
witch-because of the excitement of
the morning, she had forgotten to give
1t its usual daily plating.
AS she drew near TO the Moreland
leaders home, she saw Bill Dale and
the sheriff walk out at the gateway
and mount their horses. Major Brad
ley came out, and he, too, mounted his
horse; and she was glad that he was
going along, There was a great crowd; |;
all the Littlefords were there, and all
the Morelands, and old Granny Heck,
the fortune-teller On every face Babe
saw signs of sympathy and sorrow.
Her eyes filed. She was so glad that
they, too, loved him. 1t was worth go
ing TO Jail to know that one was loved
like that Not that 1t didn't hurt to
see him going to jail, of course. Jail
and horror are words that mean the
same to the mountain dweller.
She went ON TO tell him good-by.
She knew II would be hard, but she
steeled herself; she would be Little
ford, and strong. lie saw her coming,
and he turned his bay horse and rode
to meet her. She stopped and clasped
her hands. with her arms down full
length, and tried TO smile at him.

that you'd go back TO Patricia and
finish your education"

reply, "jest like every other Littleford

lock and went toward the writhing
Goliath, whose legs only were visible
now.
Then n third shot rang out on the
morning stiffness. II had been fred
from point some little distance
away, and Dale's condition OF mind at
the moment was such that he didn't
even note the direction from which
the sound had come. He was unhurt,
and he had not heard the whine of
bullet or the pattering Of shot on the
leaves. When he looked about him,
he saw no one neither did he see any
telltale smoke. Perhaps, he thought
dImly, It had been squrrel-hunter
that had fired that shot. He forgot
about II very quickly for the time be-
Ing, and went on toward Adam Bah,
who now was lying perfectly still.
There was a bullet.hole through and
through the great, shaggy head. The
face behind the short, curly black
beard was Of the colorless hue of
soapstone. The giant hillman was
dead.
Bin Dale knelt there beside Black
Adam. Again he clutched at his throat
with his two shaking hands, and this
time he tore his blue flannel shirt. All
the agony and all the remorse In the
universe seemed TO be gathering there
In his heart. Never before had he
seen death. Its grim presence terrified
him. That the deplorahle thing had
been an accident, due 10 his faulty
craftsmanship, mattered little. He
had killed n man, and the blood-red
brand of Cain WIS burning away on
his brow; he was n man In a hell of
Bill Dale sobbed a great sob that
shook his broad shoulders as a violent
ague would have shaken them.
lie tried TO look at the blue-edged
hole In the shaggy head; az the cruel,
british face that was of the colorless
hue OF soapstone. Nercifu tears
blinded him. and he couldn't see. II
was compensation, pitlfully beautl-
fui compensation.
Five minutes passed, five minutes
that were as five years to this man
who had never been In the presence
OF death before. Then he realized that
he was being surrounded by kinsmen
of the dead mountaineer. lie looked
up into their ashen, angry faces. and
they cursed him. Big and gripping
brown hands were placed upon him

offered his breast to the frowning muz-

Dale had by this time worn the keen
edge from his grief by means OF his
great will power. He bowed slightly
to The officer and replied with grave
courtesy:
Believe me. SIR" with the very
faintest trace of a smile, II am very
much obliged to you"
Luke Moreland led up the sleek
young bay that Bill Dale had n ned
