4 FATEFIL PHRASE

One OF the most mischievous phrases
ever invented was that by President
Wilson. the Characterization of
peoples" Within three months after
the armistice was signed there were
twenty five little wars going on in
Europe and this unhappy phrase was
responsible for at least twenty OF them.
And now II has precipitated another
conflict this time in upper Silesia.
Yielding TO the Presidents insistence
that the people themselves should de-
termine whether their country should
belong to Germany or to Poland the
treaty OF peace provided for a plebis-
cite in this province upon that ques-
ton. The plebiscite was taken and by
an overwhelming vote the people de-
clared their preference 70 remain part
OF Germany. Whereupon the Polish
government marched an army into the
province determined to hold il as a
part OF Poland and the war Is on.
British and French troops have been
stationed in Silesia 20 make the pleb-
iscite effective. and as a result they
have come into collision with the Polish
troops. This has brought about an
additional complication for IL is I'M

Uncovered Anelen, Grave.

While excavations we're being made
on a small conical-shaped hill near
Dolphinton station, England. in prep
aration for the foundation for a monu-
ment. the workmen came upon an ir-
regularly shaped stone measuring
about four feet four inches square and
six inches thick, which was found to
be covering ancient human remains In
their place Of sepulcher. Flagstones
about four inches thick line the grave.
which measures three feet nine inches
by two feet by two feet. The stones
are recognized as having been quarried
locally. The grave was situated only
about two feet six inches from the
surface, and the deceased person had
evidently been inferred with legs
drawn up. The stones have been re-
placed.

CHAPTER XII
BY Heck Keeps a Secret.

When Sheriff Tom Flowers and the
others had been gone for half an hour,
Elizabeth Littleford sat up in the ST.
lence. 1t was great and heavy silence
that lowered there over the north end
of David Morelands mountain. There
was not even the drumming of yell
lowhammer, not even the saucy chat
tering of boomer squirrel, not even
the twittering of a bird. Not leaf
stirred anywhere. Everything seemed
lifeleSs. 1t 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 white-dotted blue
calico, and her long brown hair flowed
behind her like the hair of a young
witch-because of the excitement y
the morning, she had forgotten to give
it it's 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
lev came out, and he, too, mounted his
horse; and she was glad that he was
going along There was great crowd !;
all the Littlefords were there, and all
the Moreands, and old Granny Heck,
the fOrtune-teller. On every face Babe
saw signs of sympathy and sorrow.
Her eyes filled. 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 it 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 it would be hard, but she
steeled herself; she would be a 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

Together they rode through the
woodland toward the broad, green val
ley, with the Littlefords, the More
lands, Major Bradley and Hayes fol-
lowing closely behind them.
Up on the side of David Moreland's
mountain there had been silent and
unseen witness to the arrest of Bill
Dale. She was hidden behind a
gnarled and twisted clump of sheep
laurel, sitting on patch Of tiny,
dainty, pure blue dayflOwers-crushing
in her hands the tiny purple blossoms
that are known as Jobs tears.

The truth was that he was carry
