BASKET BALL SEASON OPENS
WITH VICTORIES FOR LOCALS
Oakland Team Triumphs Over Graf
ton and Meyersdale

The basket ball season opened in
Oakland on Thanksgiving evening
with the Grafton CIV. Va.) team as
the attraction.
About five hundred enthusiastic
fans turned out to witness the game
and were rewarded by seeing the
home boys take the visitors across
by a score Of 21-14. The game was
fast and furious throughout, the two
teams being quite evenly matched
and both displaying some very good
pass work. The defense of the To-
Gals was superior, however, and the
visitors were never allowed to get
a lead, although they were successful
in tying the score at one period.
"Ted" Scott, of Oakland, was in
fine form on the offensive play shoot
ing six clean goals from the field,
while Rice, Bolden, Frantz and Lew
Hanst were right on the job on the
defensive end all the time, thus cut
ting off many a good rally by the
visitors.
The team this year is under the
management of Messrs. Wade H.
Hinebaugh and Guy o. Yutzy, who
have displayed excellent judgment in
securing Mr.. Walter Hoyt, former
star center on the famous Keyser
Collegians, as coach. Mr.. Hoyt has
amply demonstrated his ability as
a basket ball mentor and the team as
whole shows much better form than
it did last year and is fast rounding
into well regulated machine which
is expected to "cop" a majority of
the games this season.

On Tuesday evening of this week
the local team met its second vic
tory when it met and defeated the
Rex Club of Meyersdale, Pa, which
is much better and faster team
than Grafton.
The game was one of the cleanest
and fastest ever played on the Oak
land floor, but nine fouls being call
ed. Oakland showed marked improve
ment in working and passing the
ball down the floor and as a result
the forwards had much better oppor-
tunities to shoot goals. Rice and
Scott were the particular stars for
the locals, scoring seven and eight
clean fired shots, respectively. Boil
den and Frantz, on the defensive,
were on top of every play, and the
team as whole made the going hard
for the visitors, although Hoblitzell
and Blake, of Meyersdale, worked in
some very effective plays, the latter
being exceptionally fast. Hanst was
slightly hurt in the first half and
Sanner was substituted for him in
the second. The Rex Club is one of
the best teams ever seen here, but
their best was not quite good enough

CHAPTER XII
BY Heck Keeps a Secret.

ny flCSh NScpS q ScCTet-
When Sheriff Tom Flowers and the
others had been gone for half an hour
Elizabeth Littleford sat up in the 81
lence. 1t was great and heavy silence
that lowered there over the north emo
of David Moreland's mountain. There
was not even the drumming of a vel
lowhammer, not even the saucy chat
tering of a boomer squirrel, not even
the twittering of a bird. Not a leaf
stirred anywhere. Everything seemed
lifeless. It was almost as though she
were the sole inhabitant of the world.
Then she thought. 1t was noontime,
and the officer and his prisoner would
doubtless halt at John Moreland's
cabin for the MONDAY meal; and if
she fastened she would get to see Bill
Dale again.
SO she ran like a doe through the
green woodland through the tangle of
laurel and ivy and over the moss
covered stones, across a shoulder of
David Moreland's mountain. She was
barefooted, and her dress was a sim
pie garment of wlite-dotted blue
calico, and her long brown hair flowed
behind her like the hair of a 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 90
ing to jail to know that one was loved
like thatl Not that it didn't hurt 10
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 it would be hard, but she
steeled herself; she would be Little
ford, and strong. He 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
and tried to smile at him.

that you'd go back to Patricia and

Then q third shot rang oet ON the
morning stiffness. IL had been fired
from a point some little distance
away, and Daie's condition cd faind at
the moment was such that he didn I
even note the direction from which
the sound had come. He was nnhurt,
and he had not heard the whine of a
bullet or the psftersng OF shot oR the

he saw no one: neither dad be see sag

There was a bulIef-hole through and
through the great, shaggy head. The
face behind the short. curly black
beard was OF the coiorless hue of
soapstone. The giant -hilman 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. It's grim presence terrified |
him. That the deplorabie thing had |
been an accident, due to his faulty |
craftsmanship, mattered little. He |
had killed man, and the blood-red |

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 mOuntaneer. He looked
up into their ashen, angry faces, and
they cursed him. Big and gripping

several rifles were turned upon him.

CHAPTER x-coatinued.

A little after work-time 0hat day.
Bin Dale started alone on the way of
the narrow gauge railroad for the sid
ing. He wished 20 see for himself just
what the damage had been to the
trestle. and he hoped to meet Con, OF
Ball, or a Torrey. and learn some
thing that would be TO hts advantage.
Before he had covered two miles, he
had seen two OF the enemy skulkIng
through the woods, and he recognized
than for Torreys from Jerusalem
Cove and Hatton's Hell he knew Il
by th@E very swarthy skin, their high
cheekbones and their coarse black
hair, the outcroppings OF the Cherokee
Indian blood in them. They looked
cunning and wicked Dale loosened
in its holster the big revolver that
Major Bradley had persuaded him 10
carry for his own protection. John
Moreland had taught him how 10 use
firearms.
( At point near where the little
stream that flowed past the Halfway
switch emptied into Doe river, where
Doe river turned almost sQuarely 10
the left, Dale halted abruptly He had
seen a man dart behind a serubby oak
some thirty yards ahead Of him; quite
.pamrally. he concluded that the fell
low meant 10 Waylay him, and he, too,
stepped behind a tree, big hemlock.

bass voice OF Black Adam Ball, the
mountalneer Goliath:
"You CANT fool me Jest shot to
put hole In yore new hat and to
show We at | amt no bad shot. You
CANT hit my hat !"
Dale's temper, the temper that had
always been so hard 10 keep under
control, rose quickly. He tried TO rea-
son with himself. and couldn't; his
passion mastered him. He snatched
the big revolver from It's holster and

ever held a weapon trained, he began
