laurel. But Dale could see that she
was about twenty; that every line of
her rounded, graceful figure whis-

was as straight as young pine; that
her chestnut-brown hair caught the
sunlight. and that her face was oval

pretty-in spite Of its tan.

CHAPTER ..
David Merel.nd.. MeuntsIn.

David Moreiandss Mountain.
C~iyle Wilburton Dale-knOwn to
himself and q few close friends as Bill
Dale-had laid out q course Of action
almost before the northbound train
had left the outskirts Of the state cap
ital behind. It incurred facing big
odds; but other men had faced big
odds and won out, and what others
bad done he could do. Indeed. he had
already done several things which
other men might not have thought Of
doing, and one of them was leaving .
bride. not figuratively but literally. at
the altar In fashionable church But
he knew Patricia hadn't wanted to
marry him any more hAn he had
wanted to marry her.
1t was only natural for him to think
Of coal, now that he had cut loose for
oil time from the "set" In which he
had always been a colossal misfit. now
that he must pull his own oars or vir-
t6Aliy perish. He had heard coal
talked since the day Of his birth: to
him coal and business meant exactly
the same.
One of his fathers associates had
eeten spoken Of q nne vein In :he
nountains Of eastern Tennessee
sftea tried to persuade his father to
took into It. to no avail. Young Dale re-
msmbered that this vein lay not far
from q long railroad siding called the
Halfway Switch. in the vicinity Of Big
Pine mountain. The owners were
mountain folk of English descent. his
fathers associate had said. Decidedly
strange, thought Dale. that his father
had never cared to investigate 1t.
The cIndery little train reached the
long siding about the middle Of fine
spring morning. Dale took up his bag.
FASTENED out. and soon found himself
standing alone In the heart Of an ex-
tremely wild section Of country.
When the noises of the little train
and the fast mall It had just met had
died away. there came the saucy chat
tering Of bOOmer-squlrrels and the
sweet twIttering Of birds. Dale cnught
the joyous spirit. He could have
fairly shouted out Of the fullness Of
his very human heart. Here all was
unspoIled and unprofaned, and some
thing whispered within him:
"They won't call you a savage
here-make this your own country"
From somewhere on nearby
mountainside rifles keen report split
the. air: a bullet whlned like mad
hornet; Daie's hat Jumped a little on
his head.
The awakening was exceedingly
rude. Dale wheeled. his gray eyes
ablaze. and saw only tiny cloud Of
smoke-mist rising from the laurels
more than fifty feet away.
"Come out, you coward!" he roared.
"Come out and let me see you." curl
oslty taking the place of anger In his
voice. "rve always wanted to know
1ust what real highwayman was
like!'
The mufiied sound Of twig break
ing a short distance Off to his left next
claimed his attention. He was being
closely watched by pair Of the fin-
est. clearest brown eyes he had ever
seen. He saw her eyes first: he never
forgot that.

found this vein O. coal. He got law

moved his wife up here. The rest of

"One day got a letter from David,
which said that man named John X.
Carlyle was a-goin' to buy his noun
tain and the coal, and said that his
wife was pOw'ful sick. A week later
she died, and left q baby which died,
too. accortlin' to old Injun by the
name o Cherokee Joe. who knowed

month later we was all dragged from

Major Bradley found out about tho

to put the case In the hands O. the
law. But we wouldn't do 1t. A More
land never goes to law about anything,
He pays his own debts, and he collects
what Is his due"
John Moreland arose and paced the
porch floor. which creaked under his
weight. He stopped before Dale, and
went on sadly:
Nov yen know why l was so much
tore up When I heered yore name, the
carlyle part. John X. Carlyle killed

PLEASED WITH CHAMPION
New Britain Fight Fans Agree That Dempsey, is One of the Greatest BattlerS in Ring History.

New Britain men in attendance at he Dempsey Carpenter bout at Jer- sey City last Saturday, were for the most part unanimous in voiving opin- ions that the American champion is one of the greatest if not the great est ffhters the heavyweight division has ever had. There was also con- siderable praise given the Frenchman for his gallant stand against such perior odds. For time in the second round, it looked to some of the local men that Carpenter had a great chance. Johnny Mullen, who has been one of the greatest local boosters of the champ, however, only smiled even when the arena swayed and shook. frightening many. and confi- dently announced that the doom of the challenger was being sealed by his :arrying the fight to the champion The result showed clearly that Mullen nad the dope.
 "Dan' Richardson was loud in his praise of the Frenchman, but he agrees that at no other time than nIoment in the second round, did the Frenchman impress him as having ghost of a show. Dan" was amazed at the manner in which the challenger carried the battle to the champion, ard the manner in which Dempsey Withstood the apparent heavy blows at his jaw. He also believes that Dempsey by proper care, will hold the | title for several years.

REF0RMERS DEMAND
 ARREST OF BOXERS
International Reform Bureau
 Continues to Make Noise

Jersey Cit7, July 5.-Details of the plans for the prosecution of public officials in New Jersey were dis cussed today by officials of the in- ternational reform bureau who vain ly attempted to prevent the staging of the Dempsey-Carpentie contest last Saturday. The officials who de- clared they would take action in the state courts against state officials whom they considered had permitted an infraction of the law met in the office of Herbert Clark Gilson, attor- ney for the bureau.
 The bureau has already demanded the arrest of Jack Dempsey, the vic torious champion on a charge of as- sault and battery upon the person of Georges Carpenter, the defeated French champion of Europe. Dr. Will bur. F. Crafts, superintendent of the reform bureau has also declared that Governor Edwards violated the law, as we'll as spectators who focked into the great arena and are also cited by the reformers as law-break- CTS. They base their contention upon the assertion that the spectacle witnessed Saturday was a prize fight, which is prohibited under the New Jersey boxing law. Boxing ex- hibitions only, they said, are sane toned in this statute.
 Asked what steps the bureau in- tended taking toward the punish ment of those responsible for the fight, Dr. Crafts, replied:
 T cannot make public our plans at present"
 One of the purposes of the bureau it was believed would be the attempt to prevent similar contests in the future within the borders of New Jersey. It was indicated that a test case might come up in the courts to determine whether the boxing law of the state which was enacted in 1916 was a repeal of the Crimes Act, still on the statute books, which prohibits prize fighting. The reform CTS said they were confident that they could prove that the latter law still exists, and that they could pre- vent future contests of the sort held here Saturday.
 Dr. Crafts announced that the bu- reau was planning a crusade against the exhibition of motion pictures of the fight anywhere in the world.
 As for a Carpenter Gibbons or Dempsey-Willard fight, Dr. Crafts had this to say:
 We will go through the state to speak against the proposed use of the Jersey City arena for another fight on Labor Day"

SETS NEW RECORD
Stevenson, Princeton's Short Diseance Runner, Wins Quarter-Milc Event in IS 3-5 in Senior A. A. U. Meet.

Pasadena, Cal, July Billy lancer, who sported the mercury foot of the New York A. C., made a new national nlIsionship quarter mile record in winning this event at tho annua! A. A. u. senior outdoor track and field championships here yester- day afternoon. The Orange and Black coHegian, following q stiff pace from the outset, carried the field of title aspiranta about the track almost from the start and closed with @ finishing burst of speed which gave him the title by convincing margin. Steven sons time was 4S 3-5 seconds, shaw
 ng @ fifth of @ second off the cham pionship mark of T. E. Burke, old Boston A. A. runner. who registered AS 4-5 seconds in race for the tit1o back in 1896.
 Another record performance was registered, but. unfortunately. the mark will not be allowed. Gus Desch of Notro Dame University, another of Gotham's sterling performers, was the athlete who figured in this ad vance on Father Time. Desch cap- tured the quarter mile hurdles title in the exceptional time of 53 2-5 sec onds, improving his own record by two ffths of second. In gaining the title, however, Descll knocked down one of the fences, and as conse- quence, the mark will not be accepted. Charley Paddock, Los Angeles A. c. sprinting sensation, gave Eastern athletic followers an impressive dem onstration of his ability when he cap tured both the century and furlong championships. Paddock duplicated his 3-5 seconds flash of speed in winning the 1O0-yard title, and came back later to win the 22O-yard test with a cyclonic burst of speed.

New Britain, Conn.,, July I, 1921. Dear Sir
 Please allow me a little space in the paper. It seems to me that some of the teams that play around call them selves Mt. Peasants and get beat. Then it is put in the papers that the Mt Pleasant of the City League were beaten, which is not true. It is not playing fair with the fellows that play on the regular team. Hoping that the people will realize this,
