CHAPTER ~
rhe MysterY Of the Rlnea.

An hour after John Moreland had
sent his ten rifle bullets whining over
the head OF Ben Littleford, every
Moreland and every Littleford In the
valley knew of the declaration of war;
And each man OF them oiled his weap-
ons and pu them In better working
order.
When Dale went TO bed, there =
too much on his mind to render sleep
ing easy for him. Tomorrow he would
have to help In the fight against the Lit
tlefords, kinsmen OF he young woman
who had saved him, without doubt.
from death by the murderous rifle or
the mountaineer Gollath--or Freak his
word fatty. 1t was II poor return Tor
such n favorl The longer he thought
over the dilemma, the more perplexed
he became.
He thought, too, OF the everlasting
wonder. the tail of John Moreland's
bedtime prayer. How a man could go
down on his knees and ask the bless
lngs OF the Almighty upon men whom
he meant to fight the next day was
a thing that Bin Dale could not under
stand,
It was after midnight before he
slept. He woke at the break of day,
arose and dressed himself, and went
out. Going toward the fiower-niied
front yard, he found himself facing n
very angry John Moreland.

Within ten more minutes, every man
OF the Moselands was gathered there
nj the house Of their chief-and every
man Of them had lost their wenpons
during the nightl
John Morelnnd called Dale aside
and said 20 him:

of both we're bleeding, and each spat
red now and then. Their clothing had
been torn away to the belt, and their
magnificent wet bodies glOwed In h
morning sunlight. Dale had seriously
damaged his soft hands; they felt as
thosgh they were filled with slivers Of
steel. But still he fought on dO~ggedly,
determinedly, desperately, minute aft
err minute.
Those on the two banks watched II
all with suppressed excitement. Babe
Littleford stood in the edge OF the
water. with her hands clasped below
her throat, her face was pale. John
sioreland. who had witnessed many
other great fights. himself a fighting
man, had never before beheld such a
contest Of strength and endurance as
this: Bill Dale had wOn John More
lands heart for all time to come.
But the blows Of the fighters were
CROWN. weaker now. The sound Of
their lahOred breathing rose distinctly
over the gentle roar Of the sparkling
waters above.
Then the watchers saw Adam Ball
unge al his man. saw Dale stumble
out Of sheer weakness, saw Balls
mighty blood-streaked arms close
about the beautiful white body and
hug il close to his great and hairy
chest. A moment, and Pail was bend
ing Dale slowly backward and down
ward more by reason Of weight than
Of strength another moment, and Bal
was about to sink the br0wn head ua'
der the surface!
Babe LittlefOrd gave a smOtheret
cry. John MOreland stepped TOWARD
the water and shouted hOarsely:
Don't We drowned him Adam! r
We do, yen answer 10 mel"
Dale had gathered himself for a las
move. He slipped downward suddenly
immersing himself completely. AM

forward answer Dale realized that
there was but one way in which he
could give a satisfactory explanation,
and that that was by telling the truth
but not the whole truth, as he
surmised 1t. for then his efforts would
go for naught,
Moreland was speaking again, and
his eyes were brighter now.
Il agree at David would want us
TO develop the coal. eff he could know.
It's like a light a-hreakin' TO me. But
that coal is sacred TO us. Bill Dale

Mrs. Moreland and her sons arose
and left the room, closing the door be-
hind them. Bin Dale paced the door,
arms folded. hrows drawn. Finally he
halted before the Moreland CHIEF.

a letter written to the Catholics of
the archdiocese Of New York in 1917
when the United States entered the
conflict, urged the fullest support of
the government. A few months pre-
viously he sent $4,000 to the Ameri-
can committee in London for the re-
lief of the Belgians, one of the many
notable instances of his benevolence. In
a sermon at Baltimore in 1918 he
praised speech by Lloyd-George and
said that Germany's war aims would
fail. About the same time he ex-
planned Benedict's war policy, an ar
ticle which so pleased the pope that
he ordered it translated and published
broadcast. In it he asserted sympathy
with the allied aim of winning the
war for permanent peace" To achieve
this result he also expressed OPPOSE
ton to cessation of hostilities when
made fresh overtures.
